Chapter 426: The Suffering of the Outer Gate
After being a child for ten years, Yan Xu's heart naturally can't be old, at most mature, so he didn't go to read a book when he finished his cultivation on this day, but went out of the yard to find Hu Niu to see how she was living, and he should also be distracted.
The outer gate is not qualified to go up the mountain, just like the courtyard of Elder Blue Feather, it is located at the foot of the mountain, and it is even farther away from the Xuyang Mountain where the sect is located, but the population is quite large, after all, the Rising Sun Sword Sect has been established here for hundreds of years, and it has already formed a considerable scale, except for the small town not far from the foot of the mountain, there are more than a dozen similar towns, and there are dozens of villages.
Most of these villages and towns are the displaced people who have taken refuge in the sect or the descendants of the sect's spiritual cultivators, so there is no official government stationed, only the spiritual cultivation of the Rising Sun Sword Sect is in charge, which shows the power of the Rising Sun Sword Sect.
The courtyard where Elder Lan Yu was located was not far from the town, and Yan Xu walked along a stone path to the town.
Although the town belongs to the Rising Sun Sword Sect, there are generally all that the town should have, inns, restaurants, merchants, blacksmith shops, carriage shops, and even green buildings.
It was the first time for Yan Xu to come here, and it was very interesting to look at the lively town, and traces of the spirit could be seen in many places.
For example, the blacksmith who projected the hammer spirit, the chariot and horse dealer of Ma Ling, the flower girl who sold flowers and so on, the spirit has been integrated into life here and is accustomed to it, so it is easy to distinguish the locals from the outsiders.
Traders from other places, even if they are of higher status, will behave somewhat unnaturally when facing the residents of the town, because you don't know if they have a powerful spiritual practice at home, if there is, if you offend the other party again, although you will not have to worry about your life, but this time the merchant can be prepared to lose all his money.
Of course, you can also come hard, as long as you can beat the spiritual cultivators who belong to the Rising Sun Sword Sect stationed in the town, they will not let go of anyone who dares to offend the sect, especially some fresh faces.
Yan Xu is a standard face, and looking at his curious eyes, he knows that he is the first time to come here, but Yan Xu's clothes are the best talisman, let alone stop him to ask, you have to stop and salute when you see those spiritual cultivators from afar.
Although the sect class can't be said to be so strict that it can't cross the thunder pond one step, it also has its rules, so don't look at Yan Xu's young grade, he is obviously a disciple who has just started, but just with the clothes that belong to the true disciple on his body, and the symbol that represents the elder of the outer sect, Lan Yu, no one in the entire town dares to be unreasonable to him, even if a steward who came to the town to purchase was called by Yan Xu, he respectfully took Yan Xu to the place he wanted to go, and he didn't dare to be rude in the slightest.
You must know that these stewards are high and powerful in front of the new disciples, which one of them is not standing in a proper manner and waiting to be trained, even if the spiritual cultivators who are in charge of patrolling the town are polite when they see them, who has ever seen them when they are so low-voiced.
Of course, Yan Xu will not become arrogant because of this, and he is also grateful for the other party's help, mainly because it saves him a lot of time, after all, the entire town is only a part of the outer gate, and the sect opens the mountain gate every three years to accept disciples, and there are as many as thousands of new outer disciples at a time, how can they all be placed in the town, so there is another courtyard group built near the town near the mountains and rivers as a place to live and practice.
Not to mention the new disciples here, there are three or five hundred miscellaneous guards alone, and he alone goes to find it, and he doesn't know how to find the Year of the Monkey.
Therefore, for the sake of convenience, the newly recruited outer disciples are based on the type of spirit, in groups of 100 people, and live in a large courtyard, which is managed by a steward with a group of miscellaneous servants.
These outer disciples have been practicing in the sect for at least ten years, and the spiritual cultivation of the same period with them is either alone, or they have already gone out, and they are the only ones who have stayed in the sect either because they are unwilling or have seen through this, and they are responsible for teaching the newly accepted outer disciples to cultivate, day after day, year after year, until they retire.
As spiritual cultivators, it is not that they do not work hard, but the quality of the spirit restricts them, resulting in many outer disciples who have practiced for one or two decades to reach the realm of the Imperial Spirit and still can't beat the inner disciples who have just started for a few years, which shows how big the blow is.
But it can't be helped, this is a gap in talent, and it can't be made up by hard work.
Just like the same athletes, some can win gold medals in the Olympics and get glory, but some can only wait for retirement to become a physical education teacher in a certain elementary school, you can say that none of them work hard, can't, but talent is such a scrambled egg, it is so realistic, it is so cruel.
Maybe they were unwilling, or maybe they accepted their fate, they chose to stay in the sect to study, and while teaching the new generation for the sect, they were also looking forward to the day when they turned over.
After all, unless the outer disciples can turn over, they will only be vassals of the sect in this life, and they will not be considered real people in the sect, which is a cruel blow to those outer disciples who have been marked by the sect.
But if you want to turn over, how easy is it, like Hu Niu, these newly accepted outer disciples, follow the discipline and practice for three or five years to become a teacher, and then need to serve the sect for ten years, and when the ten years expire, only some of the elite of the outer disciples can stay, and the rest need to go out to make a living.
And these people are wandering in the outer gate, as long as they are still playing the signboard of the sect, the annual filial piety money is indispensable, and once the sect calls or needs you to serve, you must unconditionally obey the order, otherwise don't blame the sect for not being emotional, after all, the sect is not open to the good hall, and you don't ask for anything in return for raising you for no reason, how is this possible.
However, there are not many ways for outer disciples to turn over, except for a few elites who remain in the sect, most of them can only count on their natal spirit to sublimate or mutate.
The natal spirit of spiritual cultivation is not a layer of immutability, with the improvement of the realm, the spirit will also be sublimated, but the higher the quality of the spirit, the more difficult it is to see, so the spiritual mutation and sublimation mostly occur in the lower grade of the spirit, that is, it mostly occurs in the outer disciples.
Once the natal spirit is promoted, the outer disciple will naturally turn over and become an inner disciple, and his identity and status will naturally be very different.
Of course, if there are people behind him, these are not important, otherwise how did these stewards of the outer gate come about, and the discipline who is responsible for teaching the cultivation of new outer disciples is to select the best of the cultivation from the outer disciples of the past generations, but the steward does not need to consider these at all, and the identity is higher than the discipline, so it generally depends on whether there is a backstage, and if there is a backstage, it will naturally stay, and if there is not, of course, he will leave directly.
Talent, backstage, these two things are so important no matter where they are, and they are so cruel, Yan Xu is very glad that his luck is good, not only does he have the ontology boss to follow him, he has obtained a good talent, but he is also lucky to be valued by an elder and accepted as a true disciple, he is simply too lucky, otherwise he is afraid that it is not the beginning of the hell version, even if he can get out in the end, he doesn't know how much suffering he will have to suffer.
