Chapter Seventy-Three: Sweeping the Ancestral Hall

"Presumptuous!"

Wu Hao was still in a state of shock, when he heard a loud shout.

Then he felt a colossal pressure descending, and he almost fell to the ground without holding it on.

This time finally diverted Wu Hao's attention from the portrait of the patriarch, and then he saw that the sect elder was glaring angrily at him.

"How dare you be disrespectful to the ancestor!"

The elder of the sect blew his beard and glared at the disciples below, and then stretched out his finger and pointed: "You, you, you, you, and you! You will be punished for copying the precepts of the sect ten times, and you will be swept in the ancestral hall for a month!"

The elder ordered five male disciples in a row, and one of them was the person who was pointed, it was Wu Hao!

After saying this, the elder closed his eyes and stopped looking at the silent disciples below.

In fact, this scene happens every year. Every time I visit the Patriarch Hall, there are always some male disciples who lose their temper, and the elders are used to it.

Strictly speaking, you can't blame those male disciples.

It's really because the realm of the ancestors' Blood Fire Shura Dao is too profound. Therefore, the charm aura on their bodies has become natural, even if it is just a portrait, even ordinary inner disciples may not be able to hold it after looking at it for a long time.

What's more, these fledgling guys just stared straight at their eyes, which is quite good.

But when this kind of thing happens, of course, they can't say that it's the ancestor's fault. Could it be that the disciples lost their temper and blamed the ancestors for being too angry?

Therefore, it can only be these disciples who are out of shape who are at fault.

And every year, if anyone stares at the portrait of the patriarch, he can only be regarded as unlucky.

Of course, because he knew the reason, the elder would not really punish him heavily, but just punish him with a small punishment and a big admonition, showing the majesty of the sect.

Listening to the precepts, Wu Hao felt bitter in his heart.

But then when he heard that they were going to be punished for sprinkling and sweeping the ancestral hall, Wu Hao was very happy!

If you offend the patriarch, you should be punished, just leave this kind of rough work to him!

It was precisely because of this optimistic attitude that when the male disciples who were ordered to sweep the ancestral hall the next day went to the mountain with sad faces, Wu Hao looked full of red light, as if he was doing something honorable.

His performance made Steward Xue of the Patriarch Hall look at him several times.

Steward Xue is the old man who slept behind the tree when Wu Hao first came to the Patriarch Hall, and he is now in charge of all the affairs in the Patriarch Hall. That elder had specially instructed that he must maintain enough respect for Steward Xue.

Because this old man had made a contribution to the sect, even the sect master and the elders maintained a certain respect for him.

The matter about Steward Xue was not a secret in the sect, and it was quickly clarified after Wu Hao inquired about it.

Speaking of which, this Steward Xue was still a popular figure a few decades ago, and he was once the leader of the inner disciples, and he was even expected to be promoted to the true inheritance.

Decades ago, the Black Flame Clan infiltrated the new disciples of the Red Lotus Sect and conspired to attack the Ancestral Master Hall. It was this Xue steward who desperately protected the portrait of the patriarch when he was in danger.

He made great contributions, but afterwards he was retaliated by the Black Flame Clan, and his martial arts true qi was abolished, and he lost his martial arts path from then on.

It's really jealous.

Later, in order to settle and compensate him, the sect asked him to guard the ancestral hall according to his wishes.

Of course, his guards are only symbolic, not dependent on his force. In fact, since that attack, a strict formation has been arranged around the Ancestral Hall, and when Wu Hao first came, the door of the Ancestral Hall automatically opened, in fact, it was Xue Lao who was controlling the formation to open the door.

It is these formations that truly protect the Ancestral Hall without fail. And once the formation was attacked, many elders in the Red Lotus Peak would be able to quickly get warnings to come to support.

Wu Hao hated the people of the Black Flame Clan to death. It's these guys who hurt him, and he has no way to scan the code.

Because there were sect elders present at that time, there was still an obvious white light when Ah Krypton scanned the code, so Wu Hao didn't dare to act rashly.

He originally thought that there was an opportunity to be punished for sweeping the Patriarch Hall, but he didn't expect that since that time to worship the Patriarch, Wu Hao had never found a chance to enter the Patriarch Hall again.

The so-called sprinkling and sweeping is just to clean up the steps and courtyards on this side of the Patriarch Hall. However, the door of the real Patriarch Hall is closed all year round, and it will only be opened next year when new disciples enter.

Moreover, the Patriarch Hall is still guarded by a formation, and Wu Hao can't find the slightest chance to enter it.

It's likely that his month-long sprinkling career is really just a waste of time.

At this time, many of those disciples in the same class as him should have gone to the Baigong Pavilion to choose a suitable exercise method and start cultivating.

Because there are thousands of new outer disciples in the two academies. Therefore, the time for them to choose the exercises naturally comes first and later.

What kind of exercises an individual practices are inherently private, so everyone is alone when they go to the Hundred Gong Pavilion.

In this way, you can only choose the exercises of a few dozen people at the fastest every day, and as for the others, you will naturally have to queue for a long time. In fact, most of them made appointments in advance.

Wu Hao and these unlucky people who were punished also went to make an appointment. But their punishment is naturally ranked last, and it is almost a month after they have been discharged.

For the time being, they can't learn new exercises, so they can only start their sprinkling career with peace of mind. What made them feel even more devastated was that the water for sprinkling and sweeping must be buckets of fresh mountain spring water brought up from the bottom of the mountain, and they must not use overnight water, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the ancestors.

So they had to go back and forth up and down the mountain every day to carry water.

Of course, Wu Hao can use the mustard seed bag to cheat, but there is nothing beneficial, so he will not take the initiative to expose his mustard seed bag.

He is not a king.

However, he found that such a water exercise up and down the mountain was actually very beneficial to the cultivation of the body during the forging period. I believe that the form of the sect punishing them for sprinkling and sweeping also has this deep meaning.

Therefore, Wu Hao explained the good intentions of the sect to his brothers and sisters for the first time, and successfully handed over the daily task of carrying water to them.

Exercise, especially this kind of inefficient exercise, Wu Hao does not need.

All he needed was kryptonite.

And Wu Hao, who was free, spent more time and experience on that old man Xue. Because this old man holds the gateway to and from the ancestral hall.

Seeing that the old man was quite lonely, Wu Hao would get some wine and food as soon as he had the opportunity to brush up on the old man's favorability.

The dishes were packed by Wu Hao in the cafeteria, but they didn't cost money. But the wine was bought by Wu Hao with real money.

It's not the kind of inferior loose wine from street wine shops, but the aged "Osmanthus Fragrance" that he bought from the time-honored winery in Autumn Wind City!

This wine is soft in the mouth, with a long aftertaste and full of stamina.

You can't feel it when you drink it, but it's easy to get on your head after drinking.

In his previous life, Wu Hao had heard that this type of wine had an alias called "The Wine of the Girl's Lost Body." ”

In any case, the old man was full of spirit when he was young, but now he is living here, and he must be a sad person.

How to solve worries, only the fragrance of osmanthus!

Such a person, if you add the right atmosphere, plus wine, getting drunk is almost a sure thing.

When you're drunk, it's easy to say anything.
