What a long way to go Chapter 11 The daily life of the Elixir Gate
In the next two days, Shen Chong hurried back to the elixir gate.
The Great Jade Ridge where the Elixir Gate is located is really good, the continuous mountain ranges are connected back and forth, there are many birds and beasts in the mountains, and a few chirps are heard from time to time.
There are two hills in the Elixir Gate, which are divided into inner and outer hills. The outer gate is on the outer hill, and the inner gate is on the inner hill. There are houses, medicine depots, etc. on the mountainside. There are three main halls on the top of the mountain, namely the Duobao Hall for handling affairs, the Monastery Hall for preaching and teaching, and the Mingxin Hall for rewards and punishments.
There are still more than a dozen acres of large medicine fields under the mountain, and the new disciples recruited this year are probably surrounding these medicine fields.
Whether it is accepting the task, returning the task, registering the identity, etc., it is all the responsibility of the Duobaoden.
After Shen Chong handed over the carriage at the foot of the mountain, he immediately led them straight to the Duobao Palace, and only the disciples of the mountain gate stopped them along the way.
After that, when Shen Chong and the others delivered the task, they deliberately mentioned a few words about Ji Ren, hoping that the sect would pay more attention to this new disciple.
However, the disciples of the Duobao Hall interrogated the three of them three times and asked them three times, and confirmed that there was no problem, so they gave them the clothes and identity tokens of the outer disciples.
Actually, it was because Ji Ren asked them not to tell the truth about the bandit incident, for fear that the sect would blame him for this, and if something happened at that time, he would not be able to practice in the sect, and it would be really troublesome.
After Shen Chong and the others listened, they all understood these truths, so they had no choice but to agree.
These martial arts disciples are always busy with affairs, and as soon as they go back today, they are about to set off again.
Shen Chong felt that it was a pity, so Ji Ren smiled and made an appointment with them to meet again next time.
It wasn't until here that Ji Ren got a general understanding of the Elixir Gate.
The Elixir Gate attaches great importance to ordinary people, and the rules are extremely strict, and there is no ambiguity in treating those who should be protected. The treatment of the person who hit is even more unceremoniously.
He thinks it's good, and it's fair to count.
When the three of them descended halfway up the mountain together, they found that the accommodation was randomly assigned.
And just like that, the three of them dispersed.
When Ji Ren came to his room, he saw that there was a large bed kang in the room, on which four people were sitting, and only a bed by the window was left. He didn't say a word, threw things aside, spread out the quilt next to the kang, and went to sleep.
The other four were stunned, and they couldn't help but have a doubt in their hearts, who does this kid look down on?!
The night passed......
The next day, the thirty new disciples changed into new clothes and gathered in the monastery hall.
An old man with a childish face and crane hair claimed to be the Fifth Elder, named Lin Boshu. He smiled and said, "Today, I am here to teach all the new disciples, if you are not used to calling elders, you can call me sir." ”
Everyone was puzzled, the elders came to teach them, what kind of lesson?
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Elder Lin continued, "So what's different about this class? Is there anyone willing to get up and guess?"
When everyone heard this, they muttered on their lips, but they refused to take the initiative to come up.
Lin Boshu saw that no one was willing, so he ordered someone casually. "Then please answer for you!" "It was Ji Ren whose fingertips were pointed.
Ji Renleng paused, stood up and looked around. Said casually: "Practice!"
At this time, it was Lin Boshu's turn to stop, he wondered if someone had told Ji Ren, and applauded: "That's right, it's practice." ”
When the big guy heard this, his blood boiled instantly, and his eyes were full of longing and yearning.
Lin Boshu took out a codex and gave it to them with a proud face. "This is what I heard from an inner door elder when I was young. Now, I'm going to show you. Let you understand why cultivators are so powerful!"
They gathered around and studied the codex with fiery eyes.
This codex records how to sense the aura of heaven and earth, how to exhale and refine, and how to run exercises and practice......
Half an hour later, when everyone had seen it, Elder Lin took it back.
"You've been watching it for so long, even if you can't remember it, you still have an impression in your mind. So, while I'm talking, you have to listen carefully, and you can go back and try to practice in the evening. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire monastery hall was full of fanatical atmosphere.
Ji Ren was hit by this breath and rubbed his face uncomfortably.
You're so keen on cultivation, you don't have a good mentality.
In the following day, Elder Lin explained the process and precautions of cultivation, as well as the afternoon nap time.
Before the time came, Elder Lin asked everyone to sit cross-legged and meditate to sense the aura of heaven and earth. Then, the thirty disciples sat in a neat and rigorous and serious cross-legged manner, pinching the formula with both hands and reciting it silently.
After an hour of hard work, one of the disciples finally fell asleep. His huge nose suddenly made the sound of a wild boar attacking.
Scold...
Scold......
The disciples beside him were all trembling with his snoring.
Elder Lin finally couldn't help it after the battle between heaven and man in his heart. He shouted, "Someone, get him out of here." ”
Two disciples came in from outside the hall, and when they saw this scene, they helplessly held back a smile and brought him out.
The doorman said: "In previous years, it was not so blatant, this kid can." ”
Doorman B said: "Hey, that's not that the fifth elder has a good temper, and the other elders would have been stabbed a long time ago." ”
The doorman said, "Needless to say, when I first came in, I was almost cut down by the three elders. ”
......
The man was in front of Ji Ren, and when he took it away, Ji Ren's frowning brows relaxed.
I'm really ...... This feeling is even more different than I thought.
At the beginning, he was hit by the frenzied breath in his mind, followed by unconscious snoring, and the extremely messy personal distractions in the hall, which made him a little unbearable.
Xian Lingzi said: "Isn't this very good? ”
Ji Ren replied, "That's good, I feel like it's affecting my cultivation." ”
Xian Lingzi smiled: "So what, if you can't cross over, then you can do it yourself." ”
Ji Ren was extremely crazy in his heart, and said: "That means that you can't practice, you can't do it, you can't do it, you must overcome this." ”
Fairy Lingzi smiled and clapped and said, "Come on, come on." ”
Ji Ren took several deep breaths and directly entered the sea of knowledge, and the heaven and earth of the evolution of the ancient scriptures appeared.
These are just small things, and they must be overcome.
He walked in a forest, sensing nature with all his heart. But even so, the feelings of the outside world will continue to convey to him.
Ji Ren began to think back to himself a month ago, when he was in pain every day, and he didn't see how he was. It is still time to eat and drink. All the pain is like rice, the more you eat, the more you feel refreshed.
Now it's just a different flavor of rice, and these are not troubles at all.
As soon as he thought about it, he felt suddenly enlightened, and everything he saw was pleasing to the eye.
Time flies, and the white horse flies......
Late at night, in this quiet night, there are always some people who are restless.
The four people beside Ji Ren all sat cross-legged and practiced as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
He took one look, covered the quilt, and went to sleep.
It wasn't until the third watch that they finally couldn't help it, pulled one by one, and went out together to relieve themselves.
......
......
For the rest of the year, Elder Lin was lecturing on medicinal herbs, and for the matter of cultivation, he said that once a month was enough.
In addition to learning to distinguish medicinal materials, they also had to follow Elder Lin into the mountains to collect medicines.
It is also necessary to pay attention to what herbs can be picked anytime and anywhere, whether they are precious, or what are their effects, etc., all of which must be known one by one, and explained one by one after going back.
The herbs collected can be exchanged for half of the market price of the medicine store, which can be used to fill their purses.
In this way, these new disciples of the Medicine Hall can maintain a high degree of enthusiasm and improve their understanding of medicine, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.
In the second month, on the first day, Elder Lin first gave a lecture on the cultivation class, so that everyone must persist in the cultivation. Subsequently, he opened a new class to teach this group of disciples how to cultivate medicinal herbs, what to pay attention to, and the various symptoms of decay and withering caused by different seasons.
In order to let everyone truly understand how medicinal herbs are cultivated, Elder Lin took an acre of medicinal fields from the Duobao Palace.
Then, for the rest of the month, they all stayed in the medicine field.
Although they were not in the monastery, everyone's enthusiasm for learning was even higher.
When Elder Lin finished the last class, he was very relieved.
"You are the smartest disciples I have taught in recent years. ”
When they heard it, the pride in their hearts made even Ji Ren smack his tongue.
The next day, the Duobao Hall broke up the thirty disciples into six groups, each of which was in charge of the disciples who had been taking care of the medicine fields all year round. The main thing is to lead them to practice the real cultivation of medicinal herbs and ensure that they can do it foolproof.
Ji Ren and the people in his room were assigned to a man named Liao A (e).
Liao A is a very ordinary-looking, but very kind person.
Today, Liao A took them to another medicine field at the foot of the mountain. He introduced: "This is the first three medicine field that I am usually responsible for, and next to it are the first and second medicine fields. ”
He also took everyone into the medicine field and introduced the names, functions, values, and cultivation of herbs one by one. The five of them followed closely behind, and they did have gained some more knowledge.
Even Ji Ren was surprised by these various herbs.
Liao A said: "Although the medicinal materials of the Jiayi Yaotian are also precious, the Jiayi ones will be even rarer. Therefore, the disciples in charge of planting must have at least five years of experience. At present, the oldest is Senior Brother Qi Yuan, with twelve years of management experience. ”
Ji Ren was surprised, and the other four people let out a 'wow', shocked.
Liao A smiled: "Don't be so surprised, Senior Brother Qi Yuan, he is only responsible for supervision, and he will not take care of the medicine fields, and he will basically leave it to his subordinates." ”
Liu Quan, who was next to Ji Ren, asked: "Why doesn't he have to do things, shouldn't it be better for him to do it?"
Liao A shook his head and said, "Fei Ye, if he does it every day, then there will be no disciples under him." It is precisely because he has a disciple that he has to hand it over to others to do, otherwise others will never do it, which is called teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish. ”
The four of them nodded understandingly.
In the next two months, Liao A officially took them to start the daily routine of taking care of the medicine field.
