Chapter 39: The Grass Garden
Although Li Lei was honest and had a long reflex arc, he also knew that there was a personal grudge between the deacon's disciples and Xue Ying, so he left first after saying goodbye to Xue Ying.
Seeing that there were only two people present, Xue Ying didn't want a result, so he had to be embarrassed, "I can tell you the truth, but you have to promise not to trouble me, I also obey people's orders." ”
Xue Ying has no grudge with the deacon disciple, and has already guessed that the deacon disciple should be instructed by someone and has no intention of embarrassing him, but he has to pay the price for calculating how he will have to fight.
"I deliberately found someone to form a team for this task, and I was seriously injured, so you have to compensate me for my losses. Labor costs, medical expenses and mental damage expenses, a total of 2,000 contribution points are required, and if you tell me who instructed me, this matter will be revealed!"
"2000 contribution points! I have been a deacon disciple of the sect affairs office for a month, and I only have 500 contribution points, you are a lion with a big mouth, impossible!"
"I died for this task, and the 2000 contribution points were not negotiable. ”
The deacon disciple knew that he was at a loss, and it was needless to say who was more valuable compared to his life and 2000 contribution points, so he assigned his contribution points to Xue Ying 2000 with a heartache, and said honestly,
"Elder Wang of the Zongmen Affairs Office is Wang Wenwen's uncle, Huangfu Mingzhu somehow obstructed Wang Wenwen's eyes, so Elder Wang ordered me to make some stumbling blocks for Huangfu Mingzhu, it is best to let her die outside, but how dare I frame the royal princess of Yan Kingdom?"
"So you chose me, a friend of Huangfu Mingzhu, it seems that 2000 contribution points is a bit less!"
The deacon disciple took a few steps back, gritted his teeth, and said, "I can't help it. My family is not strong, and I was given the only place to enter the Meteor Sect, I am only the qualification of the Three Spirit Roots is not valued by the sect, how can I dare to offend the big man and bring ruin to myself or even my family?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xue Ying's mouth, "Don't make excuses for your own cowardice, I am just the qualification of the Four Spirit Roots, and I am dispensable for the side branches of the family, but I have never thought of giving up on myself, and I have never done a thing with a clear conscience." ”
The deacon's disciple's heart was shocked, he originally thought that the disciples who could pass the entrance examination and enter the sect were either from big families or extremely talented. At this moment, he really admired Xue Ying, and broke into the Meteor Sect with the well-known waste qualifications, muttering to himself, "Compared to you, I am indeed a coward, too timid!"
When Xue Ying understood the truth of the matter and turned to leave, he mustered up the courage to stop Xue Ying and said, "A month ago, Wang Wenwen's soul lamp was shattered, and after investigation, there was no trace of a monk's fight, and he died for self-explosion, and the matter is over.
But Elder Wang only has such a blood relative, and Wang Wenwen only had a disagreement with Huangfu Mingzhu a month ago, and you are a friend of Huangfu Mingzhu, he is likely to target you, you better be careful!"
Seeing Xue Ying's frowning brows, she thought for a moment and continued, "If you are still willing to believe me, I suggest that you take over the task of taking care of the elixir spirit grass in the Spirit Grass Garden. Elder Li, the person in charge of the Spirit Grass Garden, is fair, and the disciples of the sect can see it, he will not be coerced and tempted by Elder Wang to help you, and he can still provide you with protection. ”
Xue Ying was ready to agree, the elders of the sect affairs office were in the foundation building period, and they had been in the sect for many years, and she had just entered the sect and her qualifications were still shallow, and her cultivation was not outstanding among the disciples, so there was no reason for the sect to stand out for her.
"How many contribution points do the outer disciples hand in every month, and how many contribution points do they have for the task of taking care of the Spirit Grass Garden?"
"The sect stipulates that 100 contribution points should be handed in, and the task of taking care of the Spirit Grass Garden is 500 points per month, and after deducting the part handed in, it is 400 points. Moreover, the outer disciples who take over this task can audit the lectures of Uncle Danfeng's foundation building period four times a month without spending contribution points. ”
Xue Ying has already discovered her own disadvantages from this sect mission, she is more than agile and flexible but not strong enough, and her fighting methods are single, so she needs to find the right body refining technique and sword technique for her from the library pavilion, which requires 60,000 points, which is too different from the contribution points that can be obtained from the task of the Spirit Grass Garden, and it takes too long.
After much deliberation, she said, "Okay, I'll take this assignment for three months. In addition, you will be given 1000 contribution points as a reward for this news, so you can do it yourself!"
Xue Ying finally decided to take on this task, in addition to the potential threat of Elder Wang, her injury was the more important reason. She was knocked to the ground by the wings of a flamingo, which could be comparable to a monk in the foundation period, and she was forced to pick up the feathers of a flamingo, and her internal organs were severely damaged. Her breathing for a moment only restored a trace of blood to her pale countenance, but it did not help the injuries inside.
As soon as she entered House 009, she couldn't support it anymore, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", her face was instantly as white as paper, and she fainted on the ground. The little ant anxiously stepped on her shoulders and tugged at her hair, but she couldn't wake up.
At this moment, the little ant found that the white part of the lotus petals on Xue Ying's wrist slowly developed a layer of white halo, enveloping Xue Ying's whole body, making her face ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This process lasted for a whole hour, the halo dissipated, and the white lotus looked a lot weaker, and the red lotus was dazzling.
"Eh," Xue Ying murmured softly.
"Xiao Ying, you finally woke up, scared me to death, no matter how I tossed just now, you didn't wake up!"
Xue Ying got up from the ground, walked slowly to the bed step by step and sat cross-legged, "First brother, I feel that my injuries seem to have eased a lot. ”
"Well, I see that it was the White Lotus who saved you, you see, it has shrunk a circle now. ”
Xue Ying looked at the past, and the situation was just as the little ant said. Originally, the red and white colors of the whole lotus flower were divided into two colors, and now the red is more than a circle larger than the white.
Xue Ying stroked the white petals and said softly, "Thank you for helping me heal, I will find a way to recover you and not let the red petals devour you." ”
She then laughed at herself, "First brother, although my current injuries have eased, I still need to recuperate for one to two months, so as not to hurt the foundation and not be conducive to future cultivation." I can't cook you barbecue for two months. ”
"It doesn't matter. Aren't you going to the Spirit Grass Garden, I can go to the Spirit Grass Garden to steal the Spirit Grass. Hehehe, although the taste of the spirit grass is a little worse, it contains rich spiritual power, and I can reluctantly accept it. Xiaoying, don't worry, you can't starve me, hehe. ”
Xue Ying smiled weakly, "Okay, I'll breathe for a while, and we'll go to the Spirit Grass Garden to report." ”
"Hey, there's a note of transmission. ”
"Xiaoying, the queen mother learned about what happened to me last time in the crater, and sent someone to take me back immediately, it's too late to say goodbye to you, we are destined to meet again. The voice of Huangfu Mingzhu was flustered and anxious from the transmission note.
"Mingzhu is simple, innocent, not suitable for the life of the sect, but it is better for her to leave. I wanted to send her a message, but it saved a lot of effort. First brother, there are two of us left to depend on each other!"
"Xiaoying, I will never leave you!"
——
"Senior brother, I'm Xue Ying, and I just took over the task of taking care of the elixir spirit grass for three months. ”
"Well, you are in charge of the easternmost yellow lingzhi, bichon grass, and hydrangea three kinds. Weeding and pesticide sprinkling three times a day, you look at the arrangement, I will go to the acceptance after three months, and you will compensate for any wilting. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
"This is the entry and exit token of the Spirit Grass Garden, you can choose to live in the thatched cottage of the Spirit Grass Garden, pay attention to the situation of the elixir at any time and take care of it nearby, and this place is full of spiritual energy, which is beneficial to your cultivation and healing. ”
The Danfeng disciple is really extraordinary, Xue Ying has been treated by the white lotus, and meditated and pranayama, and there is no abnormality in the appearance, but it is still easily noticed by him.
"Thank you, brother, for mentioning. ”
Xue Ying came to the Lingcao Garden in the rear, and saw that the entire medicine garden could not be seen at a glance, with all kinds of medicinal herbs, bathed in the sun, competing to stretch their bodies. Each one occupies an acre, and a sign with their respective names and growth habits is erected in front of it, making it easy for the disciples who receive the task to see.
From the east to the west, their rarity gradually increases, and you can smell the fragrance of the herb when you breathe it out.
Being here, Xue Ying felt that the pain around her body had been alleviated a lot, and she went straight to the easternmost part and found the three types of herbs she needed to take care of according to the brand.
Yellow Ganoderma lucidum resembles a mushroom, the head is spread out like an umbrella cover, it is yellow-brown, soft and smooth to the touch, the lower part is cylindrical, about three inches high, the whole body is white, tight and hard. The brand specifically indicates that Huang Lingzhi likes yin and fears yang.
The Bichon grass is cute and cute, and the leaves twist each other to give it a light yellowish brown color, and it is easy to identify as a sleeping bear. It is extremely vigorous, can survive in any conditions, is the easiest to maintain, and has no special requirements.
The third type of hydrangea resembles the sunflower, which is half a human in height, the flower resembles a disc, and grows towards the sun, but the color of the flower is purple, the stem is long and has small burrs, and the daily water requirement is high.
Xue Ying kept them all in her heart, but she was still a little uneasy, and told the little ants, "Brother Yi, I will sprinkle water to weeds and insects according to the regulations, and you have to help me monitor their spiritual power flow in real time, do you know?"
"Hehe, promise to complete the task!, so can I go find something to eat now?" The little ant looked at the spiritual herbs and elixirs all over the yard, and he couldn't bear it anymore for a long time, and he was ready to go.
Xue Ying sneered, "Snack goods, go quickly, pay attention to find some unattended elixir, don't cause trouble to others." At the same time, be careful to hide yourself!"
The little ant patted his chest and assured that after jumping off Xue Ying's shoulder, he quickly integrated into the Spirit Grass Garden and disappeared, and Xue Ying devoted herself to work, she enjoyed this rare relaxing and comfortable time.
Since the trial of the Xue family, she has been in a tense state of life, and has experienced life and death several times, although she has never regretted it, and really likes this feeling of adventure and excitement, and a short physical and mental rest is also what she needs.
"It's nice and comfortable!"
Time passed little by little in Xue Ying's daily repetitive labor and healing, and the little ants kept foraging for food, and this day ushered in the first lecture of the disciples of Danfeng's foundation building period since Xue Ying arrived at the Spirit Grass Garden.
