Chapter 17: The Sloppy Old Man
After Yang Chen returned to the room, he found that Xiao Xue was looking at him with a smile on his face, and then smiled helplessly, and said, "Xiao Xue, you also heard, I am going to work at the inner door, you can stay here during this time!"
Xiaoxue nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, the slave family won't run around!"
Yang Chen nodded, and after being silent for a while, he sat down on the bed and began to breathe.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, Yang Chen woke up slowly, saw that Xiaoxue was cultivating, then stood up, took out the painting from under the bed, and turned around and walked outside.
After Yang Chen walked out of his room, he walked directly into the dense forest, trying to find a hidden place to hide the painting.
The dense forest is very large, Yang Chen wandered around in it for a long time, and then found a more secret, usually no one comes to the place, then dug a pit, hid the painting inside, and then found something around to cover it up, and then walked back with confidence.
When he returned, it was already noon, and everyone had already gathered in front of the house, waiting for Elder Wang's arrival.
Yang Chen glanced at everyone, then quietly walked into the crowd and waited quietly.
It didn't take long for Elder Wang to descend from the sky, glanced at everyone, checked the number of people, and said in a deep voice, "Now follow me to the inner gate!"
Then he led everyone directly to the inner door.
Under the leadership of Elder Wang, everyone first walked through the woods, and then walked through a tactful and winding mountain road, and it took about three hours to come to the boundary of the inner gate, from which it can be seen that this inner gate is a long distance away from the outside.
In this Heavenly Dao Gate, although the outer disciples are also on this mountain, they are only on a small cliff on the east side, while the inner gate starts from the mountainside part and goes all the way to the top of the mountain.
Many of the disciples came to the inner gate for the first time, and they looked around with curiosity, and their faces all showed yearning.
The inner door is almost the same as the outer door, except that there are some strange flowers and plants that Yang Chen and others have never seen before, and these flowers and plants exude a strange fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed when they take two sharp breaths.
It is worthy of the inner door, if I breathe and breathe here, the chance of being able to practice aura will definitely be greater!
Yang Chen sighed in his heart, glanced around, and then stood quietly aside.
Elder Wang looked at the yearning looks of many disciples, coughed lightly, and said, "Okay, after you refine the spiritual energy in your body, you will be able to become this inner disciple, and the most important thing now is to do the task in front of you first!"
After speaking, Elder Wang led everyone towards the distance, and did not continue to walk towards the inner gate, but thought about walking to the west, so that everyone could not see the panoramic view of the inner gate.
Although this made everyone a little disappointed, but at the same time, it also stimulated everyone's fighting spirit, so that they would work harder to cultivate in order to enter the inner gate.
They didn't go far, and under the leadership of Elder Wang, everyone came to the outside of the courtyard.
There are some fences outside the courtyard, all of which are tied with some bamboo, and there are all kinds of flowers and plants planted on both sides of the courtyard, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance, so that everyone instantly feels that the fatigue on their bodies is swept away, and in the center of the courtyard, there is a simple wooden house, and there is an old man in front of the wooden house, who is sitting leisurely on the rocking chair, basking in the sun with his eyes half squinted, and looks extremely leisurely.
However, none of the many disciples present dared to underestimate this sloppy old man with an ancient appearance, because the old man was wearing a cyan robe, although the robe was already a little shabby, and there was already some dirt stuck on it, but it couldn't hide the cyan color that made these people extremely respectful.
What is the concept of cyan robe, presumably there is no one who does not know, in this Heavenly Dao Gate, the disciples who have just entered the door will be told that the lowest disciples here, that is, the registered disciples, are wearing red clothes, followed by orange, yellow, green, and after green is the cyan robe, it can be seen that this old man with an ancient appearance and sloppy clothes has definitely not a low status in this Heavenly Dao Gate.
Elder Wang motioned to many registered disciples to stop, tidied up their clothes, and felt that it was almost over, before he stood outside the courtyard with a respectful face, bowed inside, and said in a respectful voice: "Elder!"
The sloppy old man opened his eyes lazily, glanced at everyone, and said with a displeased expression: "Don't you see that I'm basking in the sun?
Listening to the sloppy old man's words, Elder Wang did not show a little displeasure, and did not even raise his bent waist, and always maintained a respectful appearance.
Elder Wang was like this, and the registered disciples standing behind didn't dare to make any superfluous movements, they all stood honestly in place, looking at the sloppy old man with a respectful face.
Half an hour passed, and the sloppy old man opened his eyes lazily, sat up, stretched his waist, and said to Elder Wang, "Are these the registered disciples who came to work?"
Elder Wang nodded and said respectfully, "Elder Hui, these are all the registered disciples, a total of 67 people. Then he said to the many registered disciples behind him: "Don't meet the ancestor yet!"
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the sloppy old man with a respectful face, and shouted to the patriarch in unison.
The sloppy old man nodded, walked over, glanced at everyone, and said to Elder Wang, "Okay, you go and get busy with you now, I will arrange these disciples!"
Elder Wang bowed to him, then glanced at everyone, turned around and walked directly outside.
"Really, I have to personally inquire about such a thing! Hmph!" the sloppy old man muttered, glanced at everyone, and said to himself dissatisfiedly: "Over the years, the disciples who have been accepted are really not as good as a batch. ”
The sloppy old man's words deeply pierced the hearts of all of the people, making everyone's faces turn red.
Although the sloppy old man's words are harsh, but this is indeed an ironclad fact, over the years, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect are indeed not as good as the generation, and the registered disciples do not rely on the Qi Gathering Pill, and rely on their own penance to become inner disciples, which has not appeared for 10 years, otherwise, with the identity of the sloppy old man, it is impossible for him to say such sarcastic words about the disciple.
Yang Chen was in the back position, listening to the sloppy old man's words, his fists were clenched tightly, his heart was full of determination, he believed that he would definitely succeed and become an inner disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, not for himself, but for his parents.
As the saying goes, if you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back, but in his eyes, even if you hit the south wall, he won't look back, he will definitely knock the south wall down.
The surname is tough, strong-willed, thoughtful, cautious, and kind and simple, this is Yang Chen.
