Chapter 20: The Weirdos
(Thanks to Momo, Diyang, and Huangliang for their generous rewards)
Zhao Lingtai walked in the outer gate of the Sword Sect, looking a little strange.
He climbed the stairs, one moment in a daze on the road, the other he went into the woods, he reached out and touched the old trees, and the next he squatted down, looking at the grass on the ground......
No one knew what he was doing, and no one paid attention.
Because the peak master Jiang Shanghan spoke: As long as Zhao Lingtai does not violate the door rules, other things, what do you like.
After the novelty of the beginning, many outer disciples lost the meaning of "onlookers" and began to work on their own.
Being in the Sword Sect, in fact, every day is very busy, as soon as I wake up in the morning, except for eating and resting, I am practicing swordsmanship the rest of the time.
Every morning and afternoon, there is an hour period for each of them, and almost all the outer disciples will gather in the sword training hall, line up, and practice sword by move. In addition, it is free time, but diligent people will not waste it, and they will go to the pure places in the mountains, or alone, or groups of three or five friends, and work hard to cultivate.
It is not easy to become an immortal, and no one wants to waste a good youth.
While you're having fun, others are practicing swords;
When you eat and drink, others are practicing swords;
When you're slacking, someone else is practicing your sword......
In the end, when others are high-spirited and beautiful, you can only watch from the audience, lonely and melancholy, like a little minion that no one cares about.
As it is, it has long been deeply imprinted into the bones of every Sword Sect disciple and melted into the blood, just like the words that the head Lin Zhongliu will say at the annual Sword Sect ceremony:
"You only know the majesty of Master Zhao's sword light and the nineteen continents, but you haven't seen the loneliness of him repeating his sword thousands of times a day!"
The hardships on the path of cultivation are present in every disciple, and as for a "strange person" who suddenly appeared, it is really not worth the distraction and attention of this.
When it comes to quirks, people who cultivate immortals abound.
Zhao Lingtai is Anu's apprentice, and after Jiang Shanghan's insight, he naturally ruled out the suspicion of undercover - besides, no undercover agent has done this.
Stop and stop all the way, and when we reach the halfway point of the mountain, it is already noon, and it is time for lunch.
Halfway up the mountainside of Zuo Lingfeng, it belongs to the settlement of outer disciples, and the sword house, the room, the sword training hall, etc., are all set up here.
In the Lingtai, the disciples' food, clothing, shelter and transportation are provided by the sect, and they do not need to spend any coins. Of course, every once in a while, the sect will also have tasks released, divided into two types, one is to choose to receive it freely, and the other is to be designated to be distributed and completed by disciples.
This is a typical relationship in which obligations and responsibilities complement each other.
Smelling the smell of meat, Zhao Lingtai walked towards the cafeteria. There are already many disciples gathered here, each carrying a lunch box, lined up in a line, and takes turns to serve food.
Zhao Lingtai also walked over, and he, who was not wearing sect clothes, immediately became the most special one in the team.
Like a stone thrown into the water of a lake, the sound of discussion rippled like ripples, one to ten, ten to hundred...... It didn't take long for everyone present, including the disciples, including the staff, to know that Zhao Lingtai was an apprentice accepted by Uncle Anu, and he was also holding a special waist card with the serial number "four".
This waist card can not only eat in the room, even if you enter the inner door, there is no obstacle.
Because Zhao Lingtai didn't bring tableware, the staff also specially provided him with a pair, and the amount of food was more than that of others.
After saying "thank you", Zhao Lingtai took the food to a table next to him and sat down and ate slowly.
The food at the outside door is much better than that of the labor below. Whether it is rice or dishes, it contains nutrients, and eating it can quickly replenish physical strength and nourish qi and blood.
In fact, it was not the first time Zhao Lingtai had eaten, after he arrived at the iron shop, every meal was sent down by the staff of the outer door.
This is the treatment of Anu.
Anu would not go to the room to eat, and after Zhao Lingtai was added, he asked for two meals.
Zhao Lingtai looked quite elegant when eating, chewing slowly, this was a habit he had always developed, and some of the disciples around him who were secretly watching were disappointed. In their opinion, they thought that Zhao Lingtai, who was born in labor, would be rude and make people laugh.
"I've seen you, you've become Uncle Anu's apprentice?"
A crisp voice sounded.
Zhao Lingtai looked up and saw Xu Jun, she should have just finished practicing the sword, her cheeks were flushed, adding a bit of coquettishness.
"Yes. β
Zhao Lingtai's answer was very concise.
Xu Jun put down the lunch box and sat opposite Zhao Lingtai.
This move caused an uproar among the surrounding disciples, and their eyes widened.
My Fair Lady, a gentleman, in the outer door, Xu Jun is extremely popular. It's just that she has always disliked being lively, and her temperament seems cold, which discourages many gay men.
"Be an apprentice, learn to forge a sword?"
Xu Jun asked again.
Zhao Lingtai shook his head: "I don't like striking iron. β
Xu Jun blinked: "Do you want to learn swords?"
Zhao Lingtai said: "Sort of." β
"Then why don't you get started as a disciple......
Speaking of this, Xu Jun suddenly remembered that the Sword Sect only conducts the selection of new disciples every three years, and now the time has passed. Thinking of the fact that Uncle Anu couldn't cultivate the Tao and didn't know how to swordsmanship, Zhao Lingtai followed him, so naturally he couldn't learn swords.
After thinking about it, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Actually, if you hold Uncle Anu's waist card, you can come to the Sword Hall to listen and learn the sword." β
Zhao Lingtai smiled: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, thank you for the reminder." β
Xu Jun said: "Actually, you don't need to say it, you will know after you understand the situation." β
"That's different. β
Zhao Lingtai's demeanor was very serious: "By the way, my name is Zhao Awang, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"My name is Xu Jun. β
The girl responded politely.
The name "Zhao Awang" is not brilliant, and even vulgar, but the word "Awang" reminds Xu Jun of the thought, she once had a dog, named "Awang"; the girl thought it was just an ordinary puppy, often held in her arms, helped it bathe, and talked to it about her heartβmany, many things that could not be told to others, including her father.
The puppy even looked at her body......
It wasn't until that night that Xu Jun knew that the puppy was not ordinary, and it was likely to be a dog demon with strong cultivation strength.
It turned out that he could understand everything and see everything clearly......
Every time he thought of this, Xu Jun felt panicked, his face was red and his ears were hot, and he felt ashamed.
However, if it weren't for Ngawang, she would have been poisoned in Dutou Town, and she would have died on the streets like her friends......
So speaking of which, the dog demon is her savior again.
The heart is very contradictory and complicated.
Fortunately, the dog demon was injured and left that day, and he should not come back, which avoids the embarrassment when he meets again, otherwise, Xu Junzhen doesn't know how to face it.
"I'm full, you use it slowly!"
Zhao Lingtai said, picked up the tableware and went to the side to get water and wash it, and then returned it to the room before leaving.
Go down the mountain and go back to the iron shop.
