Chapter 70: The Suffering of Spiritual Service
"Lin Mu is a disciple of Tenggui Island's Dharma Protector, and he is here to do things for the predecessors of Zhuji, and is responsible for the distribution of food, clothing, and monthly allowances for your group. In the following October, all the spirit stones you picked were handed over to Lin Mu. The rest of the excavated associated deposits are also available to them if necessary. You must be careful and do not slack off!" Turtle Qiling stood beside Lin Mu and said to the twenty young men in front of him.
"Meet the forest!"
"The forest is so ......"
Looking at the human beings in front of him who looked terrified and competing to show goodwill, Lin Mu stroked his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "I'm only here to cultivate, you don't have to be afraid, everything is as usual."
A group of people looked at each other and were relieved to see that there was no evil in Lin Mu's tone.
The gatekeeper turtle seemed to be accustomed to their temperament, and smiled at Lin Mu: "Although you came by the order of the Dharma Protector, you can't come and go directly after all. These twenty spirit servants are in charge of a mine, and they have their own leaders to worry about you, so you just need to protect them when they are in danger. ”
Lin Mu heard the sound of his words, and only mentioned "just guard", but did not mention what happens after the death and injury, it seems that the status of these spirit servants in Fugui Island is very low......
After the explanation, the gatekeeper turtle left by himself, and all the spirit servants saw that Lin Mu had nothing to say, so they all said goodbye and left, leaving only the man in his forties with the best complexion.
"Lin Tou, the villain is their leader, you can call me Mu Yong. ”
Seeing that Mu Yong spoke to a certain extent, not as restrained as the rest of the people, Lin Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he was able to spend less effort.
"Lao Mu, you don't have to be polite, the demon clan doesn't have those rules in the world, and ordinary disciples are called by their names when they see the Zhuji Dan monk. I'm here to cultivate, and I'm familiar with the underground environment, and I'll have a lot to rely on you in the future. ”
Mu Yong thought that he also understood the situation of the demon clan, and knew that those small titles would not anger the other party, so he smiled and said: "There are still rules, and small attention is." I stayed, just to ask Lin Tou, how much money will be withheld this month, is it seven or three or sixty-four?"
Lin Mu was stunned for a while, he could probably understand the meaning of Mu Yong's words, it was nothing more than filling his own pockets and deducting the money and food of the people below.
Although he has just set foot in cultivation, he is still a monk after all, right, and he can use some gold and silver that is only useful in the mortal world to embarrass them?
Seeing that Lin Mu was puzzled, Mu Yong patiently explained: "Lin Tou doesn't know, this Fugui Island is different from other residences, there are a lot of demon soldiers and demon generals, and the intelligence is not high, the drill does not know the severity, and the weapons and iron armor are greatly consumed every day. These weapons and iron armor need to be purchased by the sect with silver taels and purchased in the mortal world. ”
"Not only that, but also the monthly food for our spiritual servants is a big expense. But after all, the sect is a demon cultivator sect, not to mention that the mortal world is weak, and the monks who guard the mortal world are not as shrewd as the human race to make money, so the gold and silver income of the sect has always been very scarce. ”
Lin Mu was still extremely incomprehensible, so he asked: "Although the demon cultivator has no way to operate, it is not so difficult, right? I can take out some spirit stones at will to exchange gold and silver, it is enough to ensure the daily use, right? I have also seen the spirit servants on Tenggui Island, and their monthly income is not as urgent as usual. ”
Mu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "The spirit servants of Fugui Island, where can they be compared with the spirit servants of Tenggui Island! Even exchanging spirit stones for gold and silver is strictly forbidden by the sect, after all, spirit stones are the foundation of the sect's cultivation, and gold and silver are only used by us foreign spirit servants." ”
At that moment, Mu Yong was powerful and explained it in detail, and Lin Mu also understood the root cause.
Most of the spiritual servants of Tenggui Island are directly controlled by the mortal forces of the sect, and they are innocent, and they have been cultivated since childhood, and their loyalty is high, and they are regarded as their own family members. The rest of the small part are the sons of powerful people who have befriended the mortal forces, and these people have a higher status, and they can even be compared with ordinary disciples.
The son of a general like Li Tianyi, because the General's Mansion and Tengguihe Mansion are considered to be equal trading relationships, and their power is also extraordinary, so even the status of Li Tianyi is rising.
These powerful children enter the sect mostly to learn some spells, and their families will naturally not lack their food and clothing, nor will they come to ask for the little monthly money distributed by the sect, and even take the initiative to give a large amount of gold and silver, and at the same time make friends with those spiritual servants around them.
In this case, the spirit servants of Tenggui Island will naturally not suffer from life, even if it is a girl like Bai Yi whose family is just an ordinary person in the world, the food and clothing are extremely generous.
But the situation of the spirit servants of Fugui Island is very different.
The spirit attendants on Fugui Island, a small number of them are the same as the spirit attendants on Tenggui Island, responsible for the distribution of tasks on weekdays, serving the demon cultivation masters, and the lives of these people are also very good.
The vast majority of the remaining spirit servants are mortal miners recruited at will, responsible for digging spirit stones and transporting materials to the human world.
These people, including mortal refugees, and also the head of the family who can't support the family because of family hardship, come to the sect to work through the mortal forces of the same sect, and from the beginning, they are destined to be squeezed by the middleman once.
After coming to the sect, the sect has a shortage of gold and silver, and it is not much for the month, after all, this is something that has been known in advance, although the money is small, it can finally ensure that the family has no worries about eating.
On Turtle Island, many of the demon soldiers were damaged because of their brute force. In this way, in this Turtle Island Patrol Palace, many demon soldiers who have excess spirit stones, but have no silver to buy armor, have become the largest buyers of spirit stones for silver.
The exchange of spirit stones and gold and silver between internal disciples is naturally not restricted by the sect.
has no strength, no status, but there are still things that the demon soldiers need in their hands, and the spirit servant has become the object of exploitation by the overseer demon soldiers.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fear of exploiting it too much, so that no spirit attendant dared to come to the plight of Tengguihe Mansion, I was afraid that these people would live even worse.
"Even so, since the sect wants you to do things, it won't even embarrass you for eating, right?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask when he saw that everyone was pale.
Mu Yong smiled bitterly: "If you only care about one person, then the rest of the monthly income is naturally extremely sufficient, but who has no family, who has no parents, wives and children, we can save a mouthful of food here, and their life at home will be less embarrassing." Alas, it's not bad to work here, otherwise just rely on the few acres of thin land at home, excluding the rent and taxes, it will only be enough for the family to make ends meet!"
Survive!
The words that I used to hear in my ears seemed so shocking when they really happened in front of me.
