Chapter 12: The Crowd Bets

The fat monk's face showed a hint of impatience, and he saw him raise his hand and pat his mouth, yawning again: "Yan Lidong, you should tell him about it, the cultivation time is up, I have to cultivate." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

With that, the fat monk raised his legs and stepped into the room, slamming the stone door shut. After a while, the snoring in the stone house began again.

Xiang Qi wondered very much in his heart, could it be that his so-called cultivation was to sleep a lot?

After the figure of the fat monk disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces improved a lot. And among them, a thin young monk walked in front of Xiang Qi in three or two steps, he first waved his hand at everyone, said "It's all gone", and then turned his head towards Xiang Qi, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face.

Xiang Qi saw that this young man named Yan Lidong had not yet spoken, and he put on a stinky display of superiority, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

However, Xiang Qi thought of his identity as a newcomer to the vegetable garden, so he muttered in his heart: He is a newcomer, he is a newcomer, he must refrain from forbearance, and it is better to cause less trouble.

So Xiang Qi forcibly suppressed the anger that had been ignited in his heart, his face was full of smiles, he arched his hand at Yan Lidong, and said politely: "Presumably this is Senior Brother Yan, junior brother, I have just arrived, and I hope that Senior Brother will give him advice and advice." ”

Yan Lidong was overjoyed when he saw Xiang Qi lowering his posture, but his face still had the cold look of rejecting people thousands of miles away, so he only heard him say lazily: "Before talking about the rules of newcomers, I'll give you an introduction to the situation here." ”

Next, Yan Lidong began his long "guidance" to Xiang Qi.

This is one of the two vegetable gardens of the Phantom Sword Sect, which is under the jurisdiction of the Sword Sect. Immortal cultivators are not as everyone thinks, they don't eat or drink. After the cultivation reaches the foundation building period, only then can we achieve the true sense of the valley, that is, not eating or drinking. Immortal cultivators below the foundation building period must eat once a day or every few days to replenish the necessary food and water. Except, of course, taking Bigudan. This is the reason why the Xiuxian sect exists in vegetable gardens, grain gardens, and stove houses.

The vegetables produced in this vegetable garden are exclusively for the disciples of the Sword Sect to eat. It is divided into 12 pieces, and on top of each piece is a kind of vegetable, and each of these pieces is tended by a person. And this takes care of the contents of vegetables, including sowing, weeding, pest control, loosening soil, picking, etc., but does not include watering. There are two other people who are responsible for watering on a daily basis. And one of them is the one in front of Xiang Qi, Yan Lidong.

Yan Lidong continued, now the person who is still sleeping in the stone house is the chief deacon of the vegetable garden, everyone calls him Senior Brother Hong, as for the name, he did not mention it.

Next, Yan Lidong said something that surprised Xiang Qi, Senior Brother Hong was an immortal cultivator who had successfully enlightened his spirit, and now he had a powerful cultivation at the third level of qi refining. And the others here are just like Xiang Qi, who have not yet succeeded in opening the spiritual sea. And this Yan Lidong said proudly that he had already cultivated the basic exercises to the second level of qi refining, and it was imperative to open the spiritual sea on the Spirit Hall in three months.

Yan Lidong pointed to the stone house where the snoring sound was like thunder, and then said, don't think that Senior Brother Hong is sleeping, in fact, he is cultivating. It's just that the way of cultivation is different from that of ordinary people, ordinary people practice cross-legged and exhale qi refining, while Senior Brother Hong enters the land of sleep to cultivate.

Therefore, when Senior Brother Hong is practicing, don't make a big move, if someone affects his cultivation, with his fiery temper, he will definitely beat this person and kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!

Yan Lidong was afraid that Xiang Qi would not believe it, and then gave an example, there was a guy who was responsible for taking care of the cabbage before, just because he used too much force when pulling the cabbage, he squatted on the ground, and it was the sound of "poof" squatting on the ground that woke up Senior Brother Hong, and Senior Brother Hong was furious, holding a wooden stick with a thick arm, from noon to dusk, breaking more than a dozen wooden sticks in the middle!

And the beaten man's skin was open, and it was terrible to see, revealing eerie white bones, and he was almost killed. It stands to reason that he should recuperate for a few days before taking care of the vegetable garden. I don't know if Senior Brother Hong forgot to instruct, or deliberately didn't say it, but the next day, this person dragged his stenching body, limped, and was the first to come here, waiting for Senior Brother Hong's lecture.

Speaking of lectures, Yan Lidong expanded and explained, before the hour every day, he must rush here and wait for Senior Brother Hong's lecture. And before Senior Brother Hong speaks, he must not do anything else. If you dare to violate one of them, you will be severely beaten by Senior Brother Hong!

Hearing this, Xiang Qi secretly cursed this powerful "Senior Brother Hong" many times, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that this immortal cultivation realm was the same as the mortal realm, and it also paid attention to the law of the jungle! This also strengthened the belief in working hard to cultivate and enhance one's own strength.

After going around such a big circle, Yan Lidong finally said the "newcomer rules" in Senior Brother Hong's mouth:

First, the newcomer is one of the two who are responsible for watering, and when to get rid of watering depends on when the other twelve are gone.

Second, before noon, the newlyweds should run to the stove three miles away and bring the lunch of the people.

Third, Senior Brother Hong will often arrange for newcomers to do some other things.

After listening to these "unspoken rules" for newcomers, Xiang Qi was reluctant in his heart, but who made him a newcomer, so he calmed down his impulsive mood, persuaded himself, and reluctantly nodded and accepted.

In the end, Yan Lidong glanced at Xiang Qi meaningfully, and said earnestly: "If newcomers want to have a better time here and suffer less, the most important point, do you know what it is?"

Xiang Qi was contemplative, and after a moment, he shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Yan Lidong's lips pursed slightly, and he said meaningfully: "Obedient!"

After saying this, he looked up at the sky, changed his words, and then said, "I'm watering the pepper field today, it's not too early, you should go quickly! I'm going to find a secluded place to cultivate." ”

Looking at Yan Lidong who was walking away, Xiang Qi's words of "Why don't you go and water" were swallowed alive by him.

Xiang Qi glanced at Yan Lidong's swaying figure, and suddenly understood Yan Lidong's daily watering, it turned out that this watering was done by the newcomer alone, and he didn't have to do it!

Why didn't Yan Lidong do the work of two people? Could it be that just because he came early and he came late, he could bully himself like this?

Xiang Qiqiang suppressed the anger in his heart and warned himself that he was still a newcomer, so bear with it for the time being. So, he reluctantly picked up the flat burden and went to carry out his daily routine.

Xiang Qi inquired a little, and he also knew that the water source was in a mountain col two miles away from the vegetable garden, and this mountain road was quite rugged and extremely difficult to walk.

Next, this person warned Xiang Qi that it was best not to have more than half a bucket of water in the wooden barrel, even if the bucket was full when he set off, there would be at most half a bucket left in the vegetable field.

Finally, he took a look at Xiang Qi's thin body and bones, and sighed sympathetically: "If you want to water a piece of land, you need two hundred buckets of water, that is to say, you need to turn back at least two hundred times, looking at you look weak, tonight's punishment is inevitable! However, don't worry too much, in the first month, none of the newcomers can be exempted from punishment." ”

Xiang Qi chuckled a few times disappreciatively, and after thanking this person, he also rushed towards the water source.

That is, as soon as Xiang Qigang left, a few people gathered next to the pepper field to be watered.

"Come, brothers, how about we take a gamble?" said one of the tall young men.

"Okay, Senior Brother Chen. Or is it that project, how much water can this kid pick up?" the short boy standing beside Xiang Qi during the lecture spoke with great interest.

"Yes, I'm still sitting in the village, zero bucket of water one pays one, half a bucket of water pays two, one bucket of water pays three, one bucket and a half water pays five, two full buckets of water one pays ten, or the old rule, less than half a bucket is counted as zero, how?" The young man surnamed Chen said the odds quite fluently, presumably he had been planning for a long time.

"Okay! I'll bet half a bucket of water for a day. As soon as the young man surnamed Chen finished speaking, someone immediately couldn't wait to speak. Since they had just entered the sect, they rarely had the opportunity to get spirit stones, so this bet was often a daily routine.

"I'm betting on buckets of water for five days!" said the short boy, not far behind, with a sly look on his face.

"Just you chicken thief! Bet so much at once, you won't be afraid of losing your ass!" The young man surnamed Chen glared at the short boy with a resentful gaze, and said resentfully.

"If Senior Brother can't afford to lose, how about I sit in the bank?" said the short boy with a sneering face.

After the young man surnamed Chen snorted coldly, he also looked at the other people, and said impatiently: "How many of you are remanded?"

"I also bet on zero buckets of water, three daily. After one of them spoke, the young man surnamed Chen's face turned green, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, only to see him rolling his eyes again and again, gritting his teeth, eager to swallow this life alive!

"I bet on a bucket of water, two daily. "The penultimate man is also done.

As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on this last person, and the young man surnamed Chen urged even more impatiently: "Old Suntou, every time you bet, you are slow, and you are like a woman!

The forty-year-old middle-aged man known as "Old Sun Tou" was full of hesitation, and after pondering for about a cup of tea, he said with a resolute expression: "Every time I bet, I have never won, and now I still owe more than 100 daily days." This time, I also bet on the wrong door, I bet on two full buckets of water, ten daily!"

As soon as Lao Suntou's voice fell, the small circle of five or six people exploded like a pot and became lively.

"Old grandson, are you crazy? You actually bet two full buckets of water? You see that kid is as thin as a monkey, and I don't know where you got your confidence! Haha. ”

"That's it, that's it, the old grandson always loves to send charcoal in the snow, look, look, Senior Brother Chen's face is full of joy!"

"There is an old grandson, Senior Brother Chen, this dealer is too easy to sit on!"

"You don't make any trouble, the old grandchildren are all old-timers who have been gambling for 30 years, where is your turn to point fingers? But, old grandson, are you sure you didn't invite me to ask for it? It's really funny that a skinny newcomer dares to bet two full buckets of water! Haha......

The last sentence was naturally said by the young man surnamed Chen, and after he finished speaking, I saw him laughing wildly.
