Chapter 8 Rain
It didn't take long for Shi Yue to come to the deacon's hall.
Before he could enter the hall, Shi Yue heard a noisy noise like a secular bazaar.
The hall was crowded with people, and there were three or four hundred people, all of whom were disciples of the Qi Refining Period.
At the beginning of each month, when the routine tasks are assigned, it is the most lively day in the deacon hall, and it is also a good day for the deacon's disciples to make a big profit, if you have enough spirit stones to bribe the deacon disciples, they will naturally assign you the task of more oil and water, if there are no spirit stones to bribe them, the hardest and most tiring dirty work is yours.
To tell the truth, Shi Yue also thought about bribing Deacon Wang, but Deacon Wang opened his mouth and asked for dozens of spirit stones, Shi Yue naturally would not agree.
In order to facilitate management, each deacon disciple is in charge of a certain number of low-level disciples, and is responsible for assigning routine tasks to them, unfortunately, Shi Yue happens to be under the management of Deacon Wang, unless he cultivates to the tenth level of qi refining, he must go to Deacon Wang every month to receive routine tasks.
Although Shi Yue had advanced to the third level of qi refining, his cultivation was still at the bottom in front of the disciples in the deacon's hall.
He stood aside honestly, and after the senior brothers in front of Deacon Wang had left, he walked forward quickly, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Deacon Wang, I'm here to receive the routine task." ”
"Pick five ten-year-old red blood ginseng and ten spirit stones," Deacon Wang glanced at Shi Yue and said coldly.
"Deacon Wang, I've been collecting elixirs for more than a year, can I change the task?" Shi Yue said with a wry smile when he heard this.
Over the years, the elixirs on the periphery of the Taixu Mountain Range have been picked up, not to mention the elixirs of ten years of medicinal age, and even the five-year-old ones are rare.
There are many high-grade elixirs growing in the depths of the mountain range, but after experiencing the last incident, Shi Yue does not dare to collect medicine in the depths of the mountain range.
"Of course you can, see if you can be a man anymore," Deacon Wang said with a smile, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"How much?" Shi Yue heard this, pondered for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said.
"One hundred spirit stones, go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to clean and sort out the classics, ten spirit stones per month, this is a long-term task, as long as you don't make mistakes, you can stay there for a lifetime, what do you think?" Deacon Wang said with a smile.
"A hundred spirit stones? Hearing this, the corners of Shi Yue's mouth twitched, and he shook his head and refused.
Not to mention that he doesn't have a hundred spirit stones, even if he does, he is reluctant to change them for a job, in case he pays the spirit stones, when the time comes, the uncle of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion will find an excuse to drive him away, and he will have no place to cry.
"Hmph, since you don't want to, why are you still staying here, why don't you hurry up and find red blood ginseng. When Deacon Wang heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he said coldly.
Seeing this, Shi Yue dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, turned around and walked outside the hall.
At this moment, the silver jade plate in Deacon Wang's hand made a buzzing sound, and the white light shone brightly, and after the light faded, there was an extra line of small characters on it.
"There's a new task again," Deacon Wang's face was happy, and when he saw the small words on it, his face changed, and he hurriedly shouted at Shi Yue: "Shi Yue, come back, the task just now has been canceled, and I will rearrange a task for you."
Hearing this, Shi Yue frowned, hesitated slightly, and turned back to Deacon Wang.
"Say it, pick some elixir," Shi Yue said lightly, in Shi Yue's opinion, Deacon Wang must have assigned him a task with a higher difficulty and less pay.
"This time it's not picking elixir, it's planting work, well, taking care of three acres of fifty-year-old water moon flowers, applying rain once every two days, two spirit stones per month, and the time is half a year. Deacon Wang said with a serious face.
"What, only two spirit stones a month?" Shi Yue said in surprise when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Rain on three acres of elixir, once every two days, and only two spirit stones in a month, the person who issued this task was simply a miser, Shi Yue suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"What are you doing so loudly? It's two spirit stones a month, well, this is the task issued by Uncle Zhou Hong. Deacon Wang glared at Shi Yue and said in a deep voice.
"Ahh
The Taixu Sect has six inner peaks and the outer eighteen peaks, the inner six peaks are the residence of the disciples in the foundation building period, the outer eighteen peaks are the places where the disciples of the Qi refining period live, the high-level monks of the Taixu Sect have another residence, and the residence of the high-level monks is the place where the spiritual energy of the Taixu Sect is the most abundant.
Among the foundation building stage disciples of the Inner Six Peaks, there are two people who are particularly famous, one is Senior Uncle Yan Ge, who is responsible for teaching the disciples of the Qi Refining Period, and the other is Senior Uncle Zhou Hong.
Uncle Zhou Hong is a well-known planting maniac, planting many kinds of elixirs, it is said that his spiritual field is more than ten acres large, but he is famous not because he is good at planting elixirs, but because he is stingy.
The task promulgated by Uncle Zhou Hong was given a very low reward, and if he did not do well, he would be scolded by him, so many disciples in the Qi refining period were unwilling to accept the task issued by Uncle Zhou Hong.
Because Uncle Zhou Hong would not give more than three spirit stones, many Qi Refining Stage disciples privately called it the Three Stones.
"Ahh Deacon Wang glanced at Shi Yue, commanded in an unquestionable tone, and after speaking, he took out a palm-sized cyan jade plaque and threw it to Shi Yue.
To be honest, Shi Yue didn't want to take on this task, but he couldn't take out a hundred spirit stones to bribe Deacon Wang, so he didn't want to take this task.
Out of the deacon's hall, Shi Yue's imperial weapon flew towards Cuiyun Peak.
After a short time, Shi Yue came to the vicinity of a tall mountain.
This Cuiyun Peak is three or four hundred zhang high, from the halfway point of the mountain, you can see the layers of white mist spiraling upward, as far as the eye can see, the mountain is verdant and lush.
The mountain is full of large and small attics and caves with different decorations, among which there is a cave house that is quite conspicuous, covering an area of more than ten acres, and the whole cave house is covered by a layer of white light, and it is not clear to see the situation inside.
Shi Yue landed in front of the door of the cave, took out the cyan jade plate given by Deacon Wang, and after injecting mana, a green light suddenly flew out of the jade card and disappeared into the white light.
"Come in!" It wasn't long before a hoarse voice came from inside.
As soon as the words fell, the white light collapsed and disappeared, and the courtyard door opened.
Seeing this, Shi Yue didn't dare to slack off and walked in quickly.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Shi Yue gasped.
The whole courtyard is full of all kinds of elixirs, and as far as the eye can see, they are all colorful elixirs, and the air is filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
In the whole courtyard, there is not even a single house, and several bluestone paths are distributed in a tic-tac-toe, dividing the ten acres of spiritual fields into nine areas, each area is lush and green, planted with many elixirs that Shiyue has never seen.
A middle-aged man with a thin face stood in front of Shi Yue, raining a field of white flowers a few feet high.
"Disciple Shi Yue, I have seen Uncle Zhou. Shi Yue saw the middle-aged man and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You are a disciple sent by the Deacon Palace, and your cultivation is too low, right?" the middle-aged man looked at Shi Yue carefully, frowned, and said with some displeasure.
Hearing this, Shi Yue smiled bitterly in his heart, the reward of two spirit stones a month, it is strange that the disciples with higher cultivation are willing to come, of course, Shi Yue dares to think about it in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it.
"Forget it, I still have something to go out, it's just rain anyway. The middle-aged man seemed to remember something, shook his head, and muttered to himself.
"Shi Shi nephew, right! You should know what you're going to do! Actually, it's very simple, you give these water moon flowers rain every two days, and the rain time is more than half an hour, and you don't have to pay attention to other elixirs," the middle-aged man pointed to a large white flower and said slowly.
"The disciple understands, the disciple promises to come over once every two days to give rain," Shi Yue nodded and said.
"Come here once every two days? No, what if something happens to you when you come, delays or forgets? You can stay with me! The aura here is far from being comparable to your residence." The middle-aged man shook his head and commanded in an unquestioning tone.
"Live here, but where is the room? Could it be that the disciple wants to sit on the ground and rest?" Shi Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with some embarrassment.
"Look at your left-hand side." The middle-aged man said lightly.
Hearing this, Shi Yue turned his head to look to the left, and saw a large hole, a bluestone staircase leading to the ground, and the bottom was bright.
"This ······" Seeing this, the corners of Shi Yue's mouth twitched.
This Uncle Zhou Hong is worthy of being a planting maniac, and in order to save space, he actually built the cave underground.
"Follow me," Zhou Hong dropped a sentence and walked down the bluestone stairs.
Seeing this, Shi Yue did not hesitate and hurriedly followed.
This is a stone chamber of fifty or sixty zhang in size, and the walls are inlaid with a lot of moonstones, which illuminates the whole stone chamber brightly.
The layout of the stone chamber is simple, with a few emerald green futons on the ground, and a wooden shelf more than one person high on the left side, on which are placed some jade slips and books.
What made Shi Yue feel speechless was that dozens of small black grasses about a foot high were planted on the right side of the stone room, and a transparent light curtain covered dozens of black grasses.
"This is where you rest, you stay here to rest, give rain to Shui Yuehua every two days, remember that the rain time is more than half an hour, you are not allowed to touch other elixirs, if I find that other elixirs have withered or disappeared a elixir, I will not spare it, understand?" Zhou Hong said coldly.
"What if it withers on its own?" Shi Yue muttered to himself.
Although the voice was not loud, Zhou Hong still heard it clearly.
"You can rest assured of this, except for the water moon flower, I have placed a ban on other elixirs, and when I come back, if the ban is intact, I won't blame you for the elixir withering, on the contrary, I will punish you severely. Zhou Hong nodded and explained.
"Yes, disciple understands," Shi Yue nodded and said, he immediately remembered something, pointed to the wooden frame and said, "Uncle Zhou, can the disciple take a look at those classics?"
"Whatever you want, be careful when you read it, don't break the paper books, okay, I'll leave if there's nothing to do, I just gave the water moon flower rain, you will rain in two days, remember, the rain time must be more than half an hour. After Zhou Hong's repeated advice, he turned around and left.
After seeing off Uncle Zhou, Shi Yue closed the courtyard door and walked along the bluestone path.
