Xu Dao stood at the edge of the fog and did not immediately go deeper. He summoned a skeleton, took the clothes from the skeleton's hand, and scraped it up.

When the scraping was finished, Xu Dao smiled on his face, he threw his clothes out of the fog, and strode into the mist.

Walking in the mist, Xu Dao would hear the crow's cry from time to time. As soon as he looked up, he would see that there were always red-eyed crows staring at him in the treetops.

These crows were covered in black feathers, their eyes glowed strangely red, and their beaks were sharp, and they seemed to covet Xu Dao's flesh and blood, and they didn't take their eyes off for a long time.

Xu Dao didn't look at these crows, nor did he dare to drive each other away, just buried his head in the mist.

The White Bone View is weird, and Daoists who have entered the realm of Qi refining will often go out of their bodies and hide in the bodies of livestock and move around. I can't guarantee that the crow in the tree has the pet of a certain Taoist disciple, and it is hiding the other party's yin god.

If Xu Dao angers the other party, although it is easy not to kill people in the view, but the level in the view is also strict, and the Taoist level has sufficient excuses, and killing a Taoist boy will only be punished with some money.

Xu Dao walked all the way from the woodland to the stairs covered with black stone bricks, and then walked straight along the wide stairs.

From time to time, there are pedestrians coming and going on the road, either alone or in groups, but all of them bow their heads and hurriedly, and no one speaks.

The atmosphere in the White Bone View was depressing, and as soon as Xu Dao entered the fog, he also put on a mask with a wooden expression.

Finally, Xu Dao passed through a stone gate made of skulls and entered the real view, and the number of pedestrians he met became more numerous, and he could occasionally hear some conversations, but they were all quiet, lest he be startled.

Xu Dao avoided these crowds and slowly walked to a remote place along the path in his memory.

After a while, a series of low stone houses appeared in his eyes, the stone houses were piled up haphazardly, the waste water in the ditches flowed sideways, and there were occasional people wearing Taoist robes on the middle road, all of them pale and gloomy.

This is the residence of the Taoist boy in the White Bone Temple.

Xu Dao looked at the simple and dirty environment in his eyes, and secretly thought to himself: "After entering the Qi Refining Realm, I have to move out of this place as soon as possible." ”

Dao Tong is a first-class slave boy in the White Bone Concept, and his status is only better than that of mortals without mana.

If you want to get a new place to live and live alone, you can only achieve Qi refining and be promoted to a Taoist disciple.

Fortunately, in the first three years of entering the meditation, the Taoist children did not have to be busy with chores, and the meditation would arrange food and drink, and even give out a talisman every month for the Taoist children's cultivation needs.

However, if after three years, the Dao Tong has not yet entered the realm of Qi refining, he will be put into the first-class miscellaneous slave and engaged in the chores in the view.

At this time, there will be no more regular monthly payments, and all needs will depend on the income from labor services.

And this year is the third year of Xu Dao's group of Taoist children.

More precisely, there were only a few months left, and most of them were to be beaten into slavery and sent everywhere to do chores.

In the face of this situation, the Dao boys who are about to expire in three years, everyone is in danger, racking their brains and trying their best to break through to the realm of qi refining. If there is no hope of a breakthrough, they will try their best to collect the money and prepare it for future bribes.

Because after the Taoist boy is sent as a handyman, he will not only be busy with miscellaneous things and hinder his cultivation, but he is more likely to lose his protection and let others eat him.

It is precisely for this reason that Xu Dao went down the mountain for March, and he verbally experienced and passed on the letters in the view, but in fact he wanted to hit the chance, or even defect.

To give a few examples, the Taoist children who watch the alchemy in Guanzhong will be used to test the medicinal properties of the pill from time to time, so as many as thirty percent of the people who died violently were not a few, and there were not a few other poisoned and disabled.

And activities such as raising demon beasts and digging spirit mines are also several major factors in the death of Taoist children.

Therefore, once the Taoist children have no money to bribe the assigned deacons, they need to worry about their lives at all times.

Xu Dao thought of this, and his heart suddenly tightened. Although the White Bone View is a place for one party to practice, but the weak eat the strong in the view, so he can't help but be vigilant.

With all kinds of thoughts, Xu Dao walked to an ordinary stone house, he recognized the room and pushed the door in.

In the room, a candle the size of a baby's arm burned, making the room bright, not as dim as the outside. The room was very simple, there were no tables or chairs, only four stone beds.

Xu Dao walked in, and a person was sitting cross-legged on one of the stone beds.

The other party was also wearing a gray robe, his face was cold, and he was squinting slightly, not knowing whether he was contemplating and practicing or contemplating and thinking.

Xu Dao guessed that it was the latter.

Because the practice of visualization requires a quiet environment, the White Bone Meditation has set up a curfew rule for this purpose, and every night there will be Yin soldiers parade through the house to prevent disturbing the practice of others.

Sure enough, Xu Daogang walked in and opened his eyes, "Xu Dao?"

The voice was slightly cold, but crisp as a bell, and it was a woman.

In the White Bone View, men and women at the level of Taoist children live together, and there is no distinction between men's houses and women's houses. The person sitting cross-legged in the stone house in front of him was a woman among Xu Dao's roommates.

The other party's eyebrows and eyes were cold, she was about the same age as Xu Dao, she looked at Xu Dao, her eyes fell on the skeleton behind Xu Dao, and then she said in surprise: "White Fox!"

The red-eyed white fox had its limbs broken, but it was not dead, it looked wilted, and it looked pitiful and cute in the eyes of others, and the fox could not hold back its whimpering: "Chirp ......"

Xu Dao looked at the person who came, made a mockery, and said, "You Bing Daoyou, I won't see you in March." ”

After Xu Dao took over the task of delivering the letter, he went down the mountain for three months in a row, which is why Ma Pi said to him before, "I won't see you in March".

You Bing has a cold temperament, she saw Xu Dao, although her eyes were inexplicably happy, but her expression was still the same, but after seeing the red-eyed white fox, her face rarely showed a look of intention.

Xu Dao glanced at this person and walked to his stone bed by himself. He returned to the stone house to take some miscellaneous items with him for the rest of the retreat.

When Xu Dao was tidying up, You Bing, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, said, "I don't know if you are prepared for the next thing?"

When Xu Dao heard this, he knew that the other party was asking about the expiration of the three-year period, and the same batch of Daotong children were going to be beaten as miscellaneous labor, he groaned slightly, and returned: "There are still more than a month, let's talk about it later." ”

You Bing paused and said, "Of the four people in the room, only Yu Yangyan has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm. I wonder if you can rely on it?"

Yu Yangyan is the fourth person in the house besides Xu Dao, You Bing, and Ma Pi.

Xu Dao was slightly surprised when he heard that Yu Yangyan had broken through to the realm of qi refining, but he remembered that the other party's family was rich, so he understood.

It was impossible for Xu Dao to answer You Bing's question, but the relationship between the two on weekdays was okay, so he said casually: "Without him, just give it a try." ”

Xu was aware of his abruptness, and You Bing fell silent for a while.

Xu Dao didn't pay attention to him anymore and cleaned up by himself. After taking his things, he was ready to hand in the task, then went to the ghost market to make purchases, and finally went directly to the ashram for retreat.

You Bing sat cross-legged on the side with a cold expression, and she silently watched Xu Dao clean up. Just as Xu Dao finished packing up and was about to leave, she suddenly said, "How long have you been going to retreat?"

Xu Dao groaned slightly and returned: "At least for one month." ”

The two were silent again

But when Xu Dao walked to the door, You Bing on the stone bed suddenly spoke:

"The rest of the last month, if it's just a retreat, it's not very likely to break through. It's not as good as ......."

Xu Dao heard it, and his footsteps stopped slightly. Before he could look back, he heard him say:

"You and I are both cultivating together?"

Xu Dao's eyes lifted and looked back at her with a strange expression.

I saw You Bing's expression was cold, and he whispered: "My Yuan Yin is still here, I can help you and me practice......
