In the early morning of the second day of the Tianhuo retreat, just after the first hour and the fifth watch, the mountain gate of the Xuanji Sect had already opened, and this time was a full hour earlier than before. lā

The twenty-eight miscellaneous disciples of the Xuanji faction lived in a large room, and the two rows of Datong shops were crowded with more than two dozen people, but fortunately, Liu San and Sun Shui had moved to live with the third master and the eighth master, otherwise it would be even more crowded here.

There were not many disciples of the Xuanji Sect before, and there were not many houses built on the mountain, but these thirty miscellaneous disciples came suddenly, and the head of Cang'er could only vacate the original warehouse, renovate it a little, and let these miscellaneous disciples live first.

Cang'er was originally going to take out some silver taels and buy some new houses on the mountain, but the Li Governor of Xuanwei Mansion promised to allocate 10,000 taels of silver for repairing the houses of the Xuanji faction.

So Cang Er simply put this matter on hold for now, anyway, he has a lot of things to do recently, so he can only be wronged by these miscellaneous disciples to squeeze first.

Twenty-eight people were crammed into one room, snoring, farting, and grinding their teeth at night were indispensable, plus many people did not have the habit of bathing and washing, and their shoes and socks were always not cleaned in time, so the taste of the dormitory of the miscellaneous disciples was never good.

Recently, it has entered the middle of October, although the four seasons of Xuanji Mountain are like spring, but the temperature outside has dropped a lot, and it is still a little cool at night, and the doors and windows of the dormitory of the miscellaneous disciples need to be closed at night, so the taste here is even more sour.

In this sour and warm atmosphere, the twenty-eight miscellaneous disciples whose youngest was only seventeen years old and the oldest was thirty-one years old were all immersed in their dreams and could not wake up.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door of the dormitory, and the door was kicked open, and then the cold wind of October outside the house blew in, and the moonlight like water also shone into the house.

Several miscellaneous disciples near the door immediately woke up and sat up dazedly under the invasion of loud noises and cold, and some of the timid people had already screamed loudly, while the people sleeping in the back position muttered and pulled up the quilt to cover their heads, ready to continue sleeping.

Two black shadows came in through the door, and a rough voice roared: "You lazy worms, get me up quickly! It's five watches, and you're still sleeping!"

What are you afraid of without a spiritual root? There are many people in this world who do not have a spiritual root, and what they are afraid of is self-defeating! What they are afraid of is that they do not have a skill!

From today onwards, my Fifth Master Martial Idiot will personally lead you to polish your body and learn martial arts!

I will give you fifty minutes, and those who cannot come out to assemble will be abandoned and driven down the mountain at dawn, and you will be left to fend for yourselves!"

The Song State punished fugitive slaves and abandoned slaves very severely, once caught by the government, they would have their feet cut off or their hands cut off, and these twenty-eight miscellaneous disciples all signed a deed of sale with the government, so they naturally did not want to be expelled from the mountain.

At this time, another rich male voice began to count: "One, two, three......"

Most of them were like they had blown up the pot, and they no longer felt a trace of sleepiness, and immediately got up to look for clothes, pants, and shoes.

In addition, there are some sleepy people, although they are still sleepy, but they do not dare to slack off, and they are doing the same thing in a daze.

The calmest in the room were the two handymen, who were accustomed to sleeping together, and they sat up and looked at each other, one of them slowly stuffed the one-foot-two-inch long sharp cone in his hand back into the pillow, and the other slid a sharp dagger down the crack in the wall at the head of the bed.

Both of them were extremely hidden, and the others were in a panic, and no one in the room noticed their small movements.

Outside the door, Lu Qiming gently slapped the arm of the martial idiot while counting, and tried hard to talk about the room, the martial idiot nodded, indicating that he had seen it, but neither of them said a word.

These two men were very sophisticated, and they did not rush out of the room before the other handymen, but waited until a dozen people in front of them had already left the room, and then followed out of the room, which did not seem dazzling at all.

When Lu Qiming just counted "forty-seven", all the miscellaneous disciples had already left the room, because they didn't know how to line up, everyone was crowded together, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Anger immediately appeared on the face of the martial idiot, and he shouted: "What are you doing to eat? According to the size, quickly line up into two horizontal rows! I only count eight numbers, one, two, three......"

This instruction was relatively clear, and the miscellaneous disciples immediately adjusted their formation in a panic, and tried to line up in two rows according to their size.

The martial idiot was very dissatisfied with the two rows lined up, and casually pointed to a few people and asked them to switch positions with each other, until the two rows of people in the front and back were basically the same in height, short, fat and thin, and then stopped, and at this time, the two miscellaneous disciples who hid weapons had been broken up and divided into two different rows.

All the miscellaneous disciples looked at the Fifth Master Wu Idiot and the Sixth Master Lu Qiming opposite in the moonlight, on such a cold night, both of them wore only a sleeveless Xiaokan, a pair of strong pants, and thin boots, as if they didn't feel cold at all.

Most of the miscellaneous disciples had heard that these two masters were the two most powerful masters on Xuanji Mountain, except for the Great Immortal Master and the Second Immortal Master, but they didn't expect that they would come to train themselves in person.

There are some positive people in it who feel very excited, and of course there are negative and unhappy people, but since they have been sold into slavery, the master can say whatever he wants, at least polishing a good body, it is not all bad.

Wu Idiot looked at this group of miscellaneous servants coldly, tall, short, fat and thin, most of them were above the middle-aged people in terms of appearance, it seemed that Song Nengzhi County still had a certain sense of awe for the Xuanji faction, and when selecting servants, he tried to pick some servants who were good in size, size, and appearance and sent them to the mountain.

Wu Idiot snorted coldly and asked, "Ladies and nephews, are you sleepy?"

Most of the people were scolding, can you wake people up so early, can you not be sleepy, can you not be cold? But everyone replied in unison: "Not sleepy, not cold!"

The martial idiot shouted: "Okay, I appreciate your momentum! Although you don't have the qualifications to cultivate, as a Xuanji disciple, you can't be bullied when you go out, you must have a strong physique."

Starting today, you will be divided into two teams, led by me and your six masters, for a winter-long intensive training.

Anyone who can successfully persist until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will be issued a deed of sale, dissolved from slavery, and become ordinary disciples of the sect, and will serve in the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Really!" someone asked in disbelief.

The martial idiot's eyes glared: "Am I still going to lie to you?" But those who have not passed the training can only be slaved in the Xuanji Sect for life!"

Many disciples cheered, and the martial idiot said coldly: "Don't be too happy too early, I'm worried that you won't even survive today!"

After speaking, Wu Idiot led a team of fourteen people and handed over another team of fourteen people to Lu Qiming, and the two quickly selected the captain from their respective teams, and these two people coincidentally were the two who had hidden weapons before.

The martial idiot shouted: "Do you remember just now saying that you are not sleepy and cold? Now take off your coat and run down the mountain with me and the sixth master, immediately!"

There were a few hot-blooded men among the miscellaneous disciples, who immediately took off their coats, threw their coats on the ground, and stood there wearing only a middle coat, and the other disciples also hurriedly took off their coats.

The martial idiot yelled: "All of them, rush down the mountain with me!" After speaking, he was the first to run down the mountain.

The two teams of miscellaneous disciples immediately rushed down the mountain, and Lu Qiming followed the back of the team to press the formation, and anyone who was sneaking or slippery or couldn't run and fell behind, he would go up and take a big kick on his buttocks, kicking them so much that they almost didn't believe in life.

All of a sudden, the moonlit mountain road was filled with the sound of running footsteps, wheezing, and bursts of screams.

At this time, Tianyi, Tiansan, and Tianwu, among the three generations of disciples, had already been in Tie Yumo's small courtyard for almost a quarter of an hour, Tianyi was a little better, and Tiansan's and Tianwu's bodies had begun to shake.

Tie Yumo was holding a stone lock on the side, and when he saw them like this, he said coldly: "Don't tremble, let you combine the breathing method with movements, you still can't learn it, you must enlighten me today, otherwise you won't have breakfast!"

Tian San and Tian Wu only felt tears rolling in their eyes, and the master rarely treated them so harshly, it seemed that he had not done a good job.

The two children tried to remember how Master had taught them before, but they never got the point.

At this time, Tianyi's breathing began to become heavy, and it was still a little strange at the beginning of Tiansan and Tianwu, and the senior brother usually stood longer without panting?

After a while, the two children finally understood that it was the senior brother who was helping them, and the two of them began to breathe with Tianyi's breathing rhythm, and gradually their arms and thighs were not as sore as before, and their bodies no longer swayed.

As if he hadn't seen it, Tie Yumo picked up the second stone lock and pushed it up together, but there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

In Su Xing's small courtyard, Tian Er, Tian Si, and Tian Liu were also practicing, but they were not Zama Bu, but stood in the courtyard with their hands and legs apart, and used breathing techniques with their eyes closed in the direction of the moonlight.

Su Xing stood aside and guided: "Yes, just breathe like this, let the essence of the moonlight gently moisturize your eyes, after absorbing the essence of the moonlight for half an hour, the sun will soon rise, and we will absorb the purple qi from the east."

As long as we persist like this every day, our eyesight and true yuan power will soon be improved! Children remember that alchemists must have a good pair of eyes in order to practice the best elixir!"

Cang'er put down the pen in his hand, moved the back of his neck that was a little stiff, and said to Sun Shui, who was still transcribing on the side: "Apprentice, it's not early, the fifth watch is almost over, you go back to rest, you can't transcribe the plan and accounts in the afternoon, you have worked hard these days." ”

Although Sun Shui's eyes are red, but the brush under his hand is still steady, the beautiful Xiaokai is writing quickly on the paper, he is very happy in the past two days, since he sold himself into slavery, he thought that there is no chance to hold the pen again, he feels very happy to be able to hold the pen again in these two days.

The master treated him very well, and returned the deed of sale to him on the first day, and gave him a bottle of "Qi Gathering Pill", and after taking it, he was cured of all the secret injuries he had been a servant for several years.

Now that the master has a place where he can use Sun Shui, as a scholar, how can he not die to repay the teacher's kindness.

Cang'er shook his head and said, "You kid, everything is fine, but you won't take care of yourself, listen to me, go back and rest." ”

After speaking, Cang'er blew out the oil lamp on the table and went upstairs to rest.

Sun Shui sat in the dark room, tears had soaked the placket, but he didn't leave, and after the sound of snoring came from upstairs, he quietly lit the oil lamp, just dimmed the lamp, picked up the account and continued to copy it.

Jun Mo also got up very early, and began to practice his "Haoran Righteous Qi Technique" in front of the moonlight outside the window, and when the momentum of his whole body climbed to the highest state, he returned to his desk, turned on the oil lamp, spread out the rice paper, and wrote ten warnings in a row.

Jun Mo disturbed all the Haoran righteousness into the words, and after the ten ink treasures were written, even he himself felt very satisfied with the ten ink paintings.

After admiring it carefully, Jun Mo said to himself: "I don't know if these ten characters can be sold for 300,000 taels by the second senior brother? If so, then the start-up capital of the Xuanji Chamber of Commerce will be much more." ”

Han Ai kept talking to himself, sometimes using his original voice, sometimes using a small copper whistle, and sometimes using ventriloquism, talking happily.

Three ways to speak, three different topics, can not interfere with each other, the content of each topic is very novel, incisive, except for the voice and intonation are a little weird, there will be some occasional stumbling and stuttering, basically does not affect communication.

The Yi prisoners and Zhou Yong, Liu San, the green cow and the gray kite had already begun to work in the medicine garden, the Yi prisoners were pinching the vines, moving flowers and pollinating the flowers, and Liu San and the green cow were plowing a new land outside the flower garden.

Zhou Yong made a shrill rat call, attracting many rats hiding in the ridges of the medicine garden, and the gray kite kept pecking at these nasty rats with its mouth and claws.

Zhou Heng has always been very hard and serious, since the economic pressure of the Xuanji faction was relieved, the third senior brother brought him more good jade, which made him ecstatic, and immediately stuffed all the talismans and finished talisman treasures in his cabinet to the third senior brother, so that he could see how much money he sold in exchange for more materials for making runes and charms.

Then he began to make runes like crazy, and sure enough, after the jade quality improved, the power of the runes increased a lot, and his skills were also constantly enhanced.

Xia Yi had already shot 3,000 arrows and adjusted 20 bows, all of which were commissioned by the Mabu Inspection Department of Wanshui County, and he was willing to pay 25 taels of silver for each bow.

In the past, Xia Yi didn't look down on these silvers, and it has been more than half a year since he promised this matter, and he hasn't done it yet.

But since that day's revival meeting, Xia Yi has made these bows in a few days, and only waited for the time to go up the mountain to pick them up.

Everyone in the Xuanji Sect is much more active than before, and everyone wants to contribute to their own sect.

Because they firmly believe that our efforts are only for a better tomorrow.
