Chapter 3: Trouble
Bang.
"Sleep very soundly, get up for Uncle Ben!"
Xiao Pingzhi, who had not fallen asleep, only heard a loud noise, accompanied by the swish of the wooden door of the grass house, and walked in from the outside with a bearded man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he glared fiercely at Xiao Pingzhi, who was confused and had bloodshot eyes.
"You are the new handyman? From today onwards, dig up enough five ginseng plants a day and hand them over to me, otherwise Uncle Ben will tear you apart!"
"This senior brother, Xiaosheng, Xiao Ping......"
Xiao Pingzhi hurriedly got out of bed, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and stood respectfully to the side, but before he finished speaking, the bearded man's eyes were fierce again.
"Whisper, little fart, I think Uncle Ben is too loud, right?" the bearded man stepped out, and his fierce aura rushed straight to Xiao Pingzhi's face.
Xiao Pingzhi only felt a fierce intent coming towards him, looked at the other party's burly body, and said with some suspicion: "Senior Brother Lin Sen only asked me to fill five jars of water a day, and he didn't explain that he had to dig up five ginseng plants. ”
"The extra ginseng is for my junior brother!"
Dahan snorted coldly, and looked at Xiao Pingzhi's gaze more and more unkindly, it was the stinky boy in front of him who robbed him of his junior brother Chen Wen's miscellaneous service qualifications.
Xiao Pingzhi was silent, the thoughts in his mind turned quickly, he was bullied when he first came to this immortal's sect, and he felt a little aggrieved.
can see that the other party is burly, with a fierce face, his body is thin and weak, a mortal, obviously unable to resist, and is about to open his mouth to defend himself, when an angry roar comes from outside the door.
"It's you who robbed me of Chen Wen's qualifications!"
Different from the bearded man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, at this moment, a young man with a white face like jade and even a little charming walked outside the door, his eyes fell on Xiao Pingzhi's face, and he was violent.
"Qualification?substitution?......" Xiao Ping looked puzzled.
"Give me the pretend, yesterday wasn't your new miscellaneous service!" Chen Wen clenched his fists and glared at Xiao Pingzhi.
"It's none of my business, you think I'm going to come to this place?"
Xiao Pingzhi saw that the other party's chest rose and fell violently, as if it was about to explode, although he felt aggrieved, he still pushed back unceremoniously.
"Broken place?!" The bearded man and Chen Wen said in unison, their faces full of incredulity.
"What do you know! I've been frugal all these years, and I've saved up two years of spirit stones, two years, two whole years!"
"I only gave filial piety to Deacon Lin yesterday, and this is in exchange for a qualification to enter the miscellaneous service! I didn't expect to be interfered by you. This hatred, I don't share it with you!"
"Oh......"
Xiao Ping, who was groaning, subconsciously spoke, ignoring Chen Wen's wonderful expression, and finally understood what Senior Brother Lin meant yesterday, and this tattered miscellaneous office, is there any other secret?
A careless word completely angered Chen Wen.
I saw him blushing, took out a page of paper from his arms, threw it directly on Xiao Pingzhi's chest, and shouted hysterically: "Tomorrow afternoon, you and I will fight to the death in the back mountain! If you win, I will admit it! If I win, you get out!"
Xiao Pingzhi looked at the paper that had slipped to the ground and was covered with dense blood-colored killing words, only to feel murderous, and he felt furious in his heart when he saw it, especially when he heard the other party say a decisive battle, he gasped and fell asleep.
"Immortals are immortals, senior brother, don't your hands hurt?" Xiao Pingzhi kicked the blood book with his foot, shook his head and said, "What are you kidding, I won't go." ”
"I ...... You ......" Chen Wenzheng was about to go crazy again, only to feel the ground tremble, and I don't know when there was an extra person beside him, who was looking at the two uninvited guests with a smile.
"Chen Wen, I told you clearly yesterday that this matter really has nothing to do with him, and I will return half of the spirit stones, why are you still shouting here? ”
The person who came was none other than the deacon of the miscellaneous department, Lin Sen, and I saw him wave his hand lightly, setting off a tornado, and easily swept away the two of them.
"Deacon Lin......"
Chen Wen's face changed, he took a few steps back, wanted to say something, but held back, and finally glanced at Xiao Pingzhi resentfully, and then left with the bearded man.
"Thank you, brother. Xiao Pingzhi hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed deeply.
"It's okay, junior brother will be a member of my miscellaneous service department in the future, but after crossing this realm, you have to be careful. Lin Sen had a harmless smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't forget to remind Xiao Pingzhi of today's task before leaving.
Xiao Pingzhi thought about it and felt that his senior brother's words were very reasonable, Chen Wen's gaze when he left was too vicious, and for the sake of safety, he decided that he should not leave this miscellaneous place easily.
After this trouble, Xiao Pingzhi lost the mood to sleep, walked out of the grass hut, faced the rising sun, and began the days when he carried water at the Xiaolingzong miscellaneous servants.
The continuous Qilian Mountain, the mountain peaks are densely packed with trees, you can't see the edge at a glance, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a sea of forests from a distance.
Carrying the somewhat heavy wooden barrel issued by the handyman, Xiao Pingzhi rubbed his shoulders, his whole shoulders were already sore, and he felt a faint pain.
Xiao Pingzhi, who was thin and weak, was tired and speechless, and he leaned against the towering ancient tree under the sweat like rain, panting heavily.
Feeling his thinness, looking at the water spilled all the way, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, and took a little time to rest, he silently followed the method he remembered last night, feeling the aura between heaven and earth.
The sun was setting, on this day, Xiao Pingzhi tried his best to fill two tanks, during which fortunately there was dry food to supplement his strength, otherwise he might not even be able to pick these two tanks, fortunately, he dug up a ginseng plant on the way to carry water.
Back at the miscellaneous office, he handed over the ginseng he dug up to Senior Brother Lin to thank him for the early morning relief, which surprised Lin Sen greatly, and praised Xiao Ping's sensibility, but sensible is sensible, the task has not been completed, and there is still no food.
As soon as he returned to the thatched hut, the tired Xiao Pingzhi fell asleep on his head, until the gurgling sound of his stomach came into his ears, and he struggled to get up, revealing persistence in his eyes, enduring hunger and exhaustion, and sitting cross-legged on the bed to feel the aura of heaven and earth.
"Although this kind of life is exhausting, it is finally a way out, I don't believe that others can be psychic, I can't!"
In the early morning, Xiao Pingzhi was woken up by the bell, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know when he fell asleep again last night, he only felt that he was feeling the aura of heaven and earth in his sleep, and after gritting his teeth and getting up, he continued to carry water.
One day, two days, three days...... The days in the Miscellaneous Servants were repetitive and monotonous until a month passed.
In the past month, he has mingled with the other senior brothers in the miscellaneous service department and got along well, and his originally thin body has become stronger.
Even the task of five cylinders a day is easy for Xiao Pingzhi now, and the rest of the time, he spends his time on comprehending aura.
In the evening of this day, Xiao Pingzhi took a short rest after picking up water, and when he was meditating cross-legged, his body suddenly shook, and he suddenly felt that in his limbs, there seemed to be a trace of invisible breath condensed from the flesh and blood and flashed away.
Pregnant!
Xiao Pingzhi opened his eyes excitedly, and his exhaustion was swept away. I think of the conscientious work in the past month, eating less and sleeping less, except for completing daily tasks, the rest of the time is spent on understanding the aura.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and at this moment, Xiao Pingzhi, whose body was trembling, was greatly invigorated, and even hummed a small tune happily on the way back to the grass house.
"Senior brother, come here!"
Xiao Ping was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "Senior brother, what good things did you catch today?"
"Shhhh ”
Xiao Pingzhi walked towards Lin Sen, who was shouting, and as soon as he got closer, Lin Sen grabbed him and brought Xiao Pingzhi to his side.
"Close the door. ”
There are already senior brothers standing at the door of the thatched hut on standby, and there are other senior brothers who are responsible for guarding, with a clear division of labor and skillful movements. Obviously, this is not the first time they have done such a thing.
Xiao Pingzhi, who was surrounded by several senior brothers around him, immediately smelled a refreshing fragrance, and when he inhaled his nostrils, it turned into countless warm currents, blending into his whole body, and then looking at others, his expression was full of comfort.
Xiao Pingzhi's spirit perked up, and he saw that there was a three-inch long immortal ginseng in front of him, this immortal ginseng was crystal clear, full of aroma, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
It seems that tonight, eat ginseng?
"Wait. Lin Sen glanced at Xiao Pingzhi, and said angrily: "Take out all the guys who eat." ”
As soon as the words fell, a group of senior brothers quickly took out a small plate of chopsticks from their bodies, stared at the fairy ginseng in front of them, and waited quietly. Xiao Pingzhi also stretched out his hands and held them, staring intently.
I saw Lin Sen raise and fall with his hand, dividing the crystal clear immortal ginseng into equal parts at an extremely fast speed, and a small piece appeared in front of everyone.
"The rest of the soup is now eaten. ”
Xiao Pingzhi had never eaten ginseng, his heart was pounding, and he took a bite hard, the ginseng melted in his mouth, and after it was integrated into his body, it hit a stronger sense of comfort than before, making his face flush.
A senior brother laughed and said, "Senior brother, this is the five-hundred-year-old ginseng that the big people in the sect want to use to stew soup, how about it, it tastes good, right?"
"Senior brother has only eaten for a few days, and you can understand the miscellaneous service department in the future!" also echoed with a smile.
"Now, you know the benefits of this miscellaneous office. Lin Sen patted Xiao Pingzhi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "We don't have anything else, if you want to say that this natural treasure, there will be a lot of it in the future." ”
Xiao Pingzhi, who ate a hundred years of ginseng, was drunk, only to feel dizzy, hot and dry, and even a burst of white mist on the top of his head.
"Today I already have psychic feelings...... In the future, I will become a disciple of the outer sect. Xiao Pingzhi said in a daze.
"Whoever wants to be a disciple of an outer sect, how good it is to stay here. ”
Senior Brother Wang said proudly, "Our cultivation has long been able to become disciples of the outer sect. But, who wants to go, haha. ”
"Senior brother, are you sure you won't stay?" Lin Sen patted Xiao Pingzhi on the shoulder again, and said with emotion: "How many people have broken their heads for entering the thief ship in the miscellaneous service, and the junior brother has just gotten on the thief ship, and he is about to get off the ship in the blink of an eye." ”
"Senior brother, can this thief ship sail to immortality? If not, I have to get off the ship. Xiao Pingzhi licked the corners of his lips, and his eyes were confused.
Phoenix?
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into laughter.
"No matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, and they are not reluctant. Happy today, in order to celebrate the early success of the spiritual ......"
Before Lin Sen finished speaking, he took out a fragrant spirit fruit from his arms in a daze.
"Huh?"
"Hahaha......"
Everyone's faces were pale, and their eyebrows fluttered.
