CHAPTER XXII

Mingxin walked out of the forest and did not fly up the royal fan, but led the two of them along the road to the valley where the inner gate was located

"The ban just now is the prohibition of the precept room and the mountain of repentance, which was arranged by the ancestor back then, and has been used to this day, when the spirit stone in the array needs to be replaced, the spirit stone will be replaced, and there is no steward and deacon disciple in this precept room, because there is only a meager aura in this prohibition, just enough to think about the person to maintain himself, the number of years is still long to stay in the various caves on the mountain, and if it is about to expire, you can go down to the mountain down the precept room to copy the door rules, once a day, until the deadline is up, you can come out, just that Zhang Senior Brother, is to take the art investment master under my master's door, just because the master did not give him the last exercise of the Qi practice period, he went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to steal the book, and the master punished him for 30 years to thinkOf course the master disagrees, in fact, Senior Brother Zhang was already not young when he came, if he didn't enter the later stage and then hit the foundation, then the limited life of the Yuan would definitely be ......" Mingxin paused and said, "I'm afraid that my Shouyuan will be exhausted and I haven't entered the foundation, so I'm so anxious for quick success." You two can't learn from him, you must lay a good foundation."

"Got it, senior brother. ”

"Okay, it's not too early, hurry up and send the two of you back to the peak, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the meal" Mingxin smiled and offered a folding fan, and the three of them flew high and flew towards the low pillar peak at the junction of the inner gate and the outer gate.

The Dwarf Pillar Peak is not a dwarf pillar like its name, but it is very large, the area is very wide, at the junction of the inner gate and the outer gate, although it is the junction but in the northwest of the sect, there are only two squads outside the outer gate within the range of activities, patrolling back and forth on a monthly basis, the inner gate is adjacent to two low peaks, but above are the two elders of the late stage of the Jiedan, because the dwarf pillar peak is one of the strong spiritual energy in the sect, it is a very large area, there is a small peak in the middle, there are several houses on it, which is the place where the monks on the low pillar peak live, Mingxin took the two of them and did not fly towards the small peak, but landed on the hill on the south side of the peak, where a man dressed as a farmer was turning the ground with a hoe.

Mingxin dropped a folding fan ten zhang away from the farmer, and took Lin Jiu and Chen Yao behind the farmer and said, "I have seen Uncle Wuyuan, the disciple should be ordered by the Taishi Ancestor today to send the two disciples to the Dwarf Pillar Peak. ”

"Got it, you can take them back to the peak first," the farmer kept turning over the ground.

"But ......"

"Your master is in the hall, let's go" Wuyuan stopped what he was doing, turned his head and said to Mingxin.

The corners of Mingxin's mouth twitched and said, "It's better for Uncle Shi to take them there, Mingxin wants to go back to Zhengzhong Peak as soon as possible." ”

"Look, it scares you. Wuyuan smiled helplessly, "Let's go." ”

"Thank you, uncle," Mingxin said, taking a few steps back, summoning a folding fan and flying towards the middle peak.

Wu Yuan looked at Lin Jiu and Chen Yao. "Are you hungry?"

"After a busy day's work, I'm a little hungry," Lin Jiu said.

Wuyuan looked at the sun that was about to set in the west, put the hoe on his shoulder and said, "Let's go, go home and eat." ”

Lin Jiu and Chen Yao looked at each other, and they both felt that this master was too casual.

Wu Yuan didn't speak this way, Lin Jiu and Chen Yao didn't dare to make a sound, so they walked for about an hour before returning to the peak of the small mountain, at this time it was already dark, Wu Yuan took the two into the main hall, only one oil lamp was lit on the coffee table in the middle of the hall, and there were three tablets on the desk facing the door of the empty hall, below which were incense cases and some tributes, and then a square table, with two circle chairs on both sides, and chairs and coffee tables on both sides below.

"The land at the south end has been turned?" a shrill female voice came from the hall. In the corner of the main hall, where the oil lamp had just shone, there were two cushions, one of which sat a friar.

"Back to the lady, it's still a little close, and it will be finished tomorrow. ”

"Then don't eat dinner, there will be dinner tomorrow anyway. The friar's voice was cold.

"I'll go now, and I'll come back after turning it over, these two are the two disciples I told you about in the morning, alas, what are your two called" Wu Yuan hurriedly turned around and asked

"My name is Lin Jiu, and his name is Chen Yao. ”

"Oh, Lin Jiu, Chen Yao, this is my senior sister, and I am also a double cultivator for my teacher, that is, your senior sister. Wu Yuan said and stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the hall.

"I've seen Shi Niang" The two hurriedly greeted each other in unison

"Hmph, I haven't apprenticed yet, let's talk about it tomorrow. Mu Sheng, come on. ”

At this time, a small room on the east side of the hall opened the door, and out of it came a young man, thin and tall, half a head taller than Lin Jiu. The young man walked to the door of the temple and said, "Mother, what is the matter?" and spoke in a very low and slow voice.

"Lead them to arrange a place to live, and by the way, see if there is anything to eat, get some for them, don't starve to death." Lin Jiu and Chen Yao frowned when they said this.

Qi Musheng didn't speak, just turned around and walked towards the hut on the east side, Lin Jiu and Chen Yao hurriedly followed Qi Musheng over, the slender and tall Qi Musheng continued to walk east from a path on the south side of the hut he came out just now, Lin Jiu and Chen Yao followed behind them silently, walking more than ten zhang away, there was a row of cabins, all of which were exactly the same.

"It's all empty, you two can pick one of them, the previous disciples all live here. Qi Musheng looked back at the two of them.

"Senior brother, what about the original disciple?" Lin Jiu asked

"It's back to the peak at the end of the labor period. ”

"Labor..... Servitude?"

"Oh, even the disciples on the other peaks, if they make a small mistake and don't go to the Regret Mountain, they will be punished to come here to cultivate and work for months. You've been to Regret Mountain, haven't you?"

"Does that mean Chen Yao and I have to be here all year round?" Lin Jiu asked in surprise

"It should be," said Qi Mu Katsumune.

"Chen Yao, fooled, it's a shame that the two of us still go through the back door, this is letting the two of us come to be coolies, let's go, I said why don't you take the entrance test, I thought I took advantage of it" Lin Jiu angrily threw the package to the ground, and was about to scold.

Qi Musheng just wanted to stop Lin Jiu and ask him not to say any more, but he heard two snaps, Lin Jiu was slapped twice in the air, and in an instant, Lin Jiu's cheeks were raised, and a sentence came from the top of the heads of the three of them: "Enter this mountain gate and you will come as you say, and leave as soon as you say?" ”

Lin Jiu didn't say anything, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded his mother.

"Lin Jiu, are you okay" Chen Yao hurriedly helped up Lin Jiu who fell to the ground

"Uh..... Woo....."

"What are you talking about? ”

Lin Jiu glared at Chen Yao, picked up the package on the ground hatefully, pushed the door and entered the first room, which was covered with cobwebs, only a table and a chair, Lin Jiu turned his head and walked out, and saw Chen Yao who also came out of the last room.

"Can you live?" Chen Yao hurriedly asked Lin Jiu

Lin Jiu shook his head. The two of them didn't open the other doors, and it was estimated that each one must be the same.

The two of them turned their heads to look at Qi Musheng who was standing next to him, Qi Musheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I live in this room, you clean it yourself, I also clean it by myself" Qi Musheng said and pointed to a wooden house in the middle.

Lin Jiu and Chen Yao both looked at each other, they were very surprised, they didn't expect that this master's son also lived in this kind of place, the two of them shook their heads, and had to go back to the house to clean up.

The two of them were busy cleaning and wiping until midnight, and then they cleaned up, and laid out the two futons that Qi Musheng went to bring to the two of them halfway, and then they each lay on the bed, but as soon as they lay on the bed, there was a gurgling sound in their stomachs, and they had been busy all day, and they hadn't eaten anything, Lin Jiu's face was not very swollen, but he was uncomfortable with hunger.

Lin Jiu couldn't sleep and got up to pat Chen Yao's door, and as soon as the door opened, Lin Jiu dragged Chen Yao out, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm so hungry that I can't sleep with all this nonsense, I blame you, what kind of complaining, I can't eat with you"

"It's also my fault, let's go, go find the wood and order something to eat," Lin Jiu said, pointing to Qi Musheng's house.

The two walked to Qi Musheng's door, and the door opened with a light tap, and the two saw Qi Musheng sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating, and the two quietly walked to Qi Musheng, and were about to speak, Qi Musheng opened his eyes, looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Senior brother, you're hungry," Lin Jiu said cautiously

"But my mother punished you for not being allowed to eat, besides, I haven't eaten for a long time, since only me and my father and mother are left on the mountain, we haven't eaten for a long time, just now my mother asked me to take you to eat, I was worried about what to take you to eat, you can let my mother punish you for not being able to eat"

"You ......" Lin Jiu was speechless angrily

"Can you open the valley?" Chen Yao asked Qi Musheng in surprise

"It's not completely possible, but you can go without eating for a long time, and when you really need to eat, I also go to the melon field in Xishan, pick two spirit melons to eat, and when you enter the foundation building period, you can basically not eat the food of the world at all, which is what you said about Bigu." Qi Musheng replied very carefully.

"Then are there any melons in Xishan now?" Lin Jiu asked anxiously

"Yes, but ....."

"Chen Yao go, go pick two to eat, don't starve to death" Lin Jiuyi interrupted Qi Musheng's words in a hurry, and pulled Chen Yao and walked out.

Chen Yao was also hungry, so he followed Lin Jiu out without thinking about it. The two of them walked to the side of the steps, Chen Yao grabbed Lin Jiu, and whispered, "Master said that you dare to go down the mountain and break our legs."

Lin Jiu slapped Chen Yao on the head, "You idiot, you're talking about this mountain" said and stretched out his hand to gesture at the big hill in front of him. Chen Yao smiled embarrassedly, and the two of them sneaked down the small mountain peak and touched the melon field in the west mountain.

After walking for about an hour, the two of them arrived at the melon field that Qi Musheng said in his mouth.

It's just that these melon vines are hung on wooden shelves set up one by one, but the melons hanging down are the ones that neither of them have ever seen, they are green, the size of a fist, the two of them are worried and don't know which is raw and which is ripe, Chen Yao looked at it and said, "Lin Jiu, what should I do? Which one to eat?"

"A big one must be cooked," he said, and walked towards the one that looked like the biggest one in the book, and patted it with his hand again.

"This is not a watermelon, and you don't know if it's ripe if you pat it."

"You know a fart" Lin Jiu said and dragged the melon down, Chen Yao hurriedly stepped forward and took out a small dagger that he brought when he went down the mountain, and the two of them divided it on the spot, and there were no melon seeds in it after cutting, it was the same as the outside, but it was also seen that there was a lot of water, Lin Jiu tasted it very sweet first, and then ate it in a big gulp, Chen Yao saw that Lin Jiu was fine, so he tasted it, sweet, really sweet, and then ate it in a big gulp, and the two of them felt a little hungry after eating one, so they picked up the larger one and picked another one.

It was already the second half of the night when the two of them returned to the hut after eating melons, but not long after the two of them lay down, Lin Jiu felt uncomfortable in his stomach, and the gurgling kept ringing, not good, Lin Jiu's eyes suddenly widened, holding his stomach, and he rushed out of the house, Chen Yao's house over there also opened the door, and the two ran towards the thatched toilet behind the house。

Early in the morning, Qi Musheng came to Lin Jiu's house and saw Lin Jiu lying on the bed, his face pale, and Chen Yao was lying on the ground, also pale, both of them hummed and chirped and did not move.

Lin Jiu turned his head with great effort and saw that it was Qi Musheng who had come in, and he had no strength to say hello.

"How many have you two eaten?" Qi Musheng said slowly

"The two biggest" Lin Jiu seemed to have lost the strength to speak

"You two can't eat that fruit yet, you will definitely have diarrhea if you eat it"

"Then you haven't said it earlier," Chen Yao also said angrily

"Before I could finish speaking, you two ran out"

"Big brother, please speak quickly next time, okay" Lin Jiu glared at him

"I'm talking a little like that, the fruit is full of aura, you two are good to eat big, if you eat small cyan, it is estimated that it is not as simple as diarrhea, there is more aura in it, you two will not practice the method of qi, when the sea of qi is full of external aura, refining can not be refined, flowing to every meridian, the whole body is swollen and painful, this fruit is called sweet spirit fruit, the taste is very sweet, but the growth is from small to large, then from large to small, and then from green to yellow, and finally into the size of the hawthorn is yellow to be considered fully ripe, then you can eat, you can not eat。 I'm only halfway through ripe now. ”

"Your melon is the size of a hawthorn?" Lin Jiu was about to roll his eyes when he heard him say it

"When it didn't grow, wasn't it the size of a melon?

Besides, I'm going to eat it when it's the size of a melon."

"Forget it, I don't care about you, alas, it's here again" Lin Jiu got up from the bed tremblingly as he spoke, and walked quickly towards the door with great effort.

"Brother Jiu, you help me" Chen Yao also sat up, and Qi Musheng hurriedly helped Chen Yao to walk to the toilet.

By the time the sun had fully risen, the two of them were already paralyzed on the ground and unable to move, and Qi Musheng said, "Wait a minute, I'll go and call my father." ”

After a while, Qi Wuyuan and Qi Musheng came to the cabin together, and when they saw the two people on the ground, Wuyuan didn't say anything, Qi Musheng had already told him on the way here.

"Master"

Lin Jiu and Chen Yao seemed to see the rescuers.

Wu Yuan nodded, squatted on the ground and stretched out two palms, put them on the stomachs of the two of them, slowly rubbed them twice, raised the palms, and pulled out two puffs of white gas from the stomachs of the two of them, dissipating into the air.

"Feeling better now?"

The two of them did not speak, but nodded.

"The food planted on this mountain is all for the inner door cultivation disciples to eat, most of them contain aura, and some contain more, because after they eat it, they practice qigong, they can refine the aura in these foods for their own use, deepen their cultivation, and also make those disciples who can't do the valley full, you two can't practice qigong at all, the aura will dissipate in the body if it is not refined when it reaches the sea of qi, so as to eliminate the filth in the body, and the disciples who can refine it will let the filth removed by the aura be discharged from the surface of the body, and you two can only have diarrhea. There is a place in the south of the mountain where pigs are raised, and the land next to the pig barn is the usual crop planted, and you have to eat it, and you will eat the grain there first. ”

The two nodded weakly after hearing this.

"Okay, take a little rest, change into our dwarf pillar peak clothes and go to the main hall to apprentice with the two new disciples. ”

"Master, two more?" Lin Jiu slowly stood up

Goon nodded and walked towards the door. The master, who is dressed as a farmer, is also a person who doesn't like to talk.

After a quarter of an hour, the two of them felt a lot better, and they were able to stand up and walk slowly, but after all, they had been to the thatched house so many times, they must have been weak, as the saying goes, a strong man can't withstand three bubbles.

What's more, these two don't look like strong men, the two of them changed into the clothes of the sect of Dwarf Pillar Peak, a blue robe, and the cuffs are the appearance of Dwarf Pillar Peak, Qi Musheng has already gone back to the house to change his clothes, waiting for the two of them outside the door, the three of them are dressed in new clothes, and they are also in a lot of spirits.

"Let's go. Qi Musheng turned around and walked towards the main hall.

When the three of them arrived outside the main hall, they saw that there were already two people standing and waiting outside the door, and the door of the main hall had not yet opened, and the two of them were also dressed in blue robes, one was thin and tall, and the other was short and fat.

"Li Jinliang, why are you here?" Lin Jiu's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

"You're here, I'm here to follow the taste"

"you, you're not the one to joke about. ”

"That's right, after the entrance test, I was going to be assigned to the outer gate as a deacon disciple, I was reluctant, but helpless, just in time for Brother Kong's father to pick him up, during this time I was friendly with Brother Kong, who was also a newcomer, and he told his father about my situation, Uncle Kong said after seeing me, I will give you another chance when you are young, and I came here with Brother Kong" Li Jinliang finished speaking, turned to the short fat man next to him and said, "Brother Kong, this is the brother I mentioned to you, Lin Jiu." ”

"Hello Brother Kong" Lin Jiu raised his hand and clenched his fists

"Brother Lin Jiu, my name is Kong Yan, everyone will take care of it more in the future" This short fat man has a very loud voice.

"It's okay, it should be, this is my brother who went into the mountain with me is called Chen Yao, the three soil Yao, Jin Liang, you have seen it before"

Li Jinliang smiled and nodded.

"Brother, I am two fires, you are three earth, you are better than me," Kong Yan said, walked up to Chen Yao's side and patted him on the shoulder twice, patting Chen Yao grinning.

"Don't dare, how can I be as powerful as the Young Peak Master of Vulcan Peak," Chen Yao rubbed his shoulders and said

"Where is the young peak master, my father asked me to worship Master Wuyuan as a teacher, I am a disciple of the Dwarf Pillar Peak, you don't have a few sour here, get out. As he spoke, he was about to give Chen Yao a moment, but he was pulled by Qi Musheng, "Be careful in front of the main hall, you should know my mother's temper."

Kong Yan smiled and turned his head to the side. Although he didn't know how this young man recognized his identity, he still looked at it twice, after all, there were many people in the sect, and it was precisely because his temper was too similar to his father that his mother let him worship Dwarf Pillar Peak Wuyuan as a teacher, although he didn't believe in the crazy words of those pigs raised in Dwarf Pillar Peak, but before leaving, his father and mother had confessed to themselves, no matter how impatient his temper was, he couldn't provoke Wuyuan's lady, she was the eldest sister of their generation, she was pampered and wanton since she was a child, and her temper was weird, so the brothers of their generation didn't want to provoke her, and they were afraid of her, after all, she was the great consummation of the late Yudan many years ago, and it can be said that she was the first person below the Yuan Ying in the sect, who dares to offend.

After waiting for a while, a few people heard a few sounds of hula hula whipping wings in the air, and it turned out that there was a big snake with fleshy wings and wings in the air, which was more than ten zhang long, as thick as a big bucket, and there was a lady of Qi Wuyuan standing on it, and a young man was also pulled in his hand.

But this young man did not have a little man's heroism between his eyebrows, but was full of women's femininity, his face was white, his lips were thin, and he looked at these young people on the ground with a pair of charming eyes. If this person is dressed as a woman and said in the past, if it is a man, then it is really the wrong birth.

The big snake slowly fell to the ground, and after the two people on its body came down, it slowly became a foot in size, and swooped into Qi Musheng's mother's cuffs. Then with a blue dress in his hand, the robe of the low pillar peak, the young man reluctantly took it and hugged it in his arms, Qi Musheng and his mother glared at him.

"Auntie," the young man shouted coquettishly.

Lin Jiu and the others secretly frowned when they heard this sentence from a distance, looked at each other, and the last one looked at Qi Musheng.

"Put it on" Qi Musheng's mother only said calmly, and the young man hurriedly put the robe on his body.

Qi Musheng sighed, "Why is this not a man or a woman, I hate it." ”

"Then is he a man or a woman?" Lin Jiu asked quietly.

"I'm a man" The young man and Qi Musheng's mother had already walked behind him, and Lin Jiu's whispered words also made him listen to them, but this sentence I am a man, and I can't say it with a feminine taste.

Qi Musheng's mother didn't look at them, and stepped forward and pushed open the door of the main hall, "Come in."

As the group entered the house, Qi Musheng's mother walked straight to the first chair in the right row and sat down.

Several people stood in a row and did not dare to speak.

After a while, Qi Wuyuan walked in from the gate, wearing a blue robe, wearing a purple crown, walking into the main hall with a whisk in his hand, walking towards the incense case without saying a word, reaching out to take the incense and lighting it, inserting the incense burner and bowing three times, turning around and standing in front of the first chair on the left.

"Kneel down and salute," Qi Wuyuan said slowly.

Lin Jiu and the five of them hurriedly knelt down

"Worship the Sky"

"Second Worship Patriarch"

"Three Worship Peak Main Season Real People"

"Licheng. Get up. Qi Wuyuan said slowly. "The peak master of the Dwarf Pillar Peak will always be Ji Zhenren, that is, the head of the first term, my master, no matter which of you takes over from me in the future, it will also take care of the Dwarf Pillar Peak for Ji Zhenren, can you understand?"

"The disciple understands"

"Our Dwarf Pillar Peak has been confiscating disciples for a long time, and most of them are usually disciples who come to help, at the behest of Master Tai, and also for the sake of Dwarf Pillar Peak to be more angry, so I accept a few of you, and you must practice diligently in the future and not be lazy. ”

"Disciples Remember"
