CHAPTER XVI

Wen Maoan saw Wu Xinqiu's longing look on his face, and smiled, "This Chunming Mountain has five peaks and twelve halls, the five peaks in the spring to the peak, the summer Ying Peak, the autumn peak, the winter leaving the peak, for the four peaks disciples to practice and live, the middle of the Pingcang Peak is the twelve halls of the weekday office, outsiders often say that there are twelve halls, in fact, it is a misinformation, there are only twelve halls here, and there are no twelve halls."

The twelve halls are to preside over the daily life in the door, maintain order, preside over the smooth flow of government decrees, and provide logistical support in the door, including the palace of the posterior, the deacon hall, the medicine hall, the civil engineering hall, the legal hall, the sacrificial hall and so on twelve halls, each hall has different intelligence, the division of labor is orderly, it is in this way that hundreds of disciples in the inner door can be orderly, and not chaotic.

"Let's go, get to the door as soon as possible, and have an explanation, I didn't eat early in the morning, but now I'm hungry, haha. Wen Maoan patted his stomach and said with a smile.

Wu Xinqiu arched his hand, "I'm tired." ”

The two of them quickened their pace and went to the door, talking all the way, Wu Xinqiu knew a lot about the details of the door.

Now that he enters the door, the first thing he does is to go to the personnel hall to report, receive and make the identity token of the inner disciple, and then assign the mountain he goes to, and finally go to the back office to receive his own living needs, so from this point of view, Wu Xinqiu is quite satisfied, the management and scheduling of the inner door is much more than that of the outer door, and there is almost no management in the outer door, except for when there are disciples who can step into the inner door, they can hardly feel their existence.

The two finally walked to the door, Wen Maoan took Wu Xinqiu to the personnel hall and told him some precautions, and left, and was a little worried about this poor disciple, so he came back and told him that if he had something to do, he could come to the deacon hall to find him, the deacon hall was halfway up the mountain, not far from the personnel hall. Wu Xinqiu thanked him for his kindness, and the two separated.

The personnel hall is built magnificently, this may be the most magnificent building that Wu Xinqiu currently knows, the outside of the hall is surrounded by mist, two big pillars outside the wall, sandalwood carving, vermilion lacquer is red, outside the door, between the towers, birds and beasts are carved, dragons and tigers are ambushed, all of them have a bit of eye-catching aura.

The inner door is extremely wide, no matter the front side, it is more than fifty zhang, and it is estimated that even if all the disciples in the inner gate stand here, they can accommodate it.

However, the fly in the ointment is that although this place is wide, it is empty, it seems quite empty, there are very few disciples in the personnel hall, and now there are only three people, two men and one woman, two of whom are lying listlessly on the table, drowsy.

Wu Xinqiu didn't dare to disturb them, so he had to go to another female disciple who was not asleep to handle the entry matters, and after expressing his intentions, he took out the certificate that Wen Maoan gave him.

"Name, birthday, home address...... The woman pointed at them one by one, and the identity token was necessary to act smoothly in the inner door, so the production was detailed, and Wu Xinqiu answered truthfully.

"Are there any relatives in the door?"

"No, I didn't. ”

"Do you have valuables on you?"

"No, I didn't. ”

"Is there time for strange and fun things?"

"No, I didn't. ”

Wu Xinqiu suddenly felt that the other party's question was getting more and more wrong, could it be that these are also necessary information for making identity tokens?

"There is nothing, it seems that he is an ignorant disciple of the poor sect, what are you going to do with us like this? Alas...... I don't understand the difficulties of our disciples of the Personnel Palace. The woman shook her head.

Although Wu Xinqiu is not smart, he still understands a little bit of human feelings, and he can still hear clearly in his words, the other party estimates that he is an ordinary poor disciple who has no background and no support, and wants to ask for benefits from himself, but he has nothing, where do the benefits come from with her.

"After practicing in the outer gate for more than ten years, I have exhausted my savings, and I am up and down my body, only this supreme treasure, I can no longer take it out, and it is precisely because of it that I can promote my cultivation and step into the realm of qi refining. Wu Xinqiu said lightly.

When the other two people who were asleep heard this, they also got up, "What treasure?" The three of them stretched out their heads and leaned over, curious to see what kind of mystery each other had.

Wu Xinqiu smiled and said, "It's just a sincere enthusiasm for cultivation." ”

The three of them were annoyed, they just wanted to ask for some benefits, but they didn't expect to be teased by a new inner disciple, the other party was just a disciple of the first level of qi refining, and there was no backstage in the door, so they dared to be so arrogant.

"Smack!" one of the fatter men slapped the table and rushed up, "Are the new disciples so arrogant now?" With that, an aura spread out in all directions, making Wu Xinqiu's clothes hunt.

"It's not arrogant, what you say is just the truth, if you don't believe it, you can just retract what you just said. Wu Xinqiu still maintained a faint smile in his mouth, neither humble nor arrogant.

The fat man's eyes narrowed, like a gap, "Since it's a fact, then it's good, Chunlan, quickly handle the entry matter for this Senior Brother Wu, don't let him wait for a long time, I see that he has the word autumn in his name, which is exactly the same as Qiulai Peak, so I will arrange for him to go to Qiulai Peak." ”

Wu Xinqiu frowned, not knowing what the other party's arrangement meant, the woman snorted coldly, "Wu Xinqiu, male, twenty, the fourteenth generation disciple of Qiu Laifeng, the token is ready, and he will keep it for himself." ”

The token is made of black wood, the whole brand is pitch black, engraved with a big Huang word, the lower right corner is engraved with "Wu Xinqiu, the fourteenth generation disciple of Qiulaifeng", it is quite soft to touch, but it is slightly folded, but it is still a little hard, the token exudes a trace of aura, if there is nothing, if it is the previous self, I am afraid that it is difficult to sense it in the hand.

Seeing that the other party doesn't seem to treat him very well, there is no need for him to stay here anymore to look at other people's faces, and arched his hands, "Thank you, say goodbye." He didn't ask the other party what the other party would do next, so he left in a hurry and went to the palace to receive his sundries.

He didn't expect that in the inner gate, he would be as snobbish as the world, he thought that the people who cultivated immortals had no worries about food and clothing, indifferent to fame and fortune, and were only in practice, only seeking immortality, but he didn't expect that there were still such people with bad conduct, even if they were famous and decent, there were many such people.

"Senior Brother He, this kid is so impulsive, are you going to let him go?" The other man just now was dissatisfied, the three of them were disciples of the Personnel Palace, even ordinary disciples didn't dare to talk to him like this, but how could he know that this disciple who had just come in was still so disrespectful to himself.

He Jingwu waved his hand, "Not really, if you want to deal with him, do you need to do it yourself?" Yuankui, your heart is still too small, and you are still a disciple of the Deacon Palace, so you still need to hone more." ”

Li Yuankui smiled, "Since Senior Brother He has a number, then Yuankui is naturally relieved, that kid is only a mere level of qi refining, and he has no foundation in the door, and he dares to be so arrogant, if he doesn't teach him some hardships, he is afraid that he will look down on our twelve hall disciples." ”

The two sneered.

Most of the disciples of the Twelve Halls are also selected from the disciples of the Four Peaks, and most of these disciples are the best in the sect, and it is they who can preside over the daily life of the sect.

After walking for a long time, Wu Xinqiu arrived at Qiulai Peak, and he muttered about Qiulai Peak, Qiulai, Qiulai, is he really related to this peak?

"Stop, who are you? Which peak disciple, look at your face, I have never seen it, what are you doing here in my Qiulai Peak?" a man said.

Wu Xinqiu arched his hand and said: "In Xia Wu Xinqiu, he is a disciple of the newly ascended inner sect, and he was assigned to Qiulai Peak by the senior brother of the Personnel Palace, which is the proof of the following." "Respectfully hand over your identity tag.

The man took a closer look at the sign and nodded, "The sign is good, junior brother, come with me." ”

"I'm tired of my brother. ”

"Senior brother doesn't need to be too polite, a certain surname Jiang, his name is high, and he is also a fourteenth generation disciple in the door, and he has been getting started for more than ten years. Before, like my junior brother, I spent a few years in the outer door, but I was lucky, after an epiphany, I broke through the Tao, and then entered the inner door, but my qualifications were limited, and my cultivation did not grow up, so I couldn't reuse it in the door, and I could only patrol the mountains on weekdays. ”

Jiang Gaoyuan looked almost twenty-six or seventeen, Wu Xinqiu smacked his tongue a little, a few years of practice, a day of epiphany, the qualifications are really not comparable to this kind of people who rely on the help of others to gather strength and succeed, and the other party is like this, the qualifications in the door are still not high, so what are those high-qualification disciples who have to become.

"Senior Brother Jiang is humble. ”

Jiang Gaoyuan smiled, "Senior Brother Wu, who have you offended? The other party actually wants to arrange you on the side of the Sacrifice Cliff, the conditions on the side of the Sacrifice Cliff are difficult, you are far away from the teacher, it is inconvenient to come and go, and ...... There are often big insects, tigers and leopards, junior brother, you ......"

Wu Xinqiu frowned, it turned out that the disciples of the Personnel Hall were here to stumble on themselves, "In the next just entered the door, the personnel are not clear, I don't remember that I have had a festival with people, but where I live, the door has its own scheduling, and I don't dare to be picky, but the people who cultivate, food, clothing, housing and transportation, are all cultivating, so how can I worry about such hardship." ”

Just based on Wu Xinqiu's words, Jiang Gaoyuan suddenly had a good impression of Wu Xinqiu, although he didn't know who he had a holiday with as a disciple of the Han Sect, so that the other party would target him like this, but he felt that with his state of mind, he was not a simple person, and it should not be difficult to deal with the past.

Jiang Gaoyuan took Wu Xinqiu to the sacrificial cliff, sure enough, this sacrificial cliff is not a good kind, it is located in a very remote place, almost outside the peak, the bare dozens of zhang square radius of a flat land, except for the stone, there is nothing else, a dilapidated hut stands abruptly in it, the hut is not big, it is all built with thatched wood branches, it seems that the summer does not avoid the heat, the winter does not resist the wind, the heat does not shade the sun, the rain does not cover the water, a bleak scenery.

Behind the house is a dense forest, these trees are old, because no one has come to cut down, one by one, one by one, staggered, as if the whole forest trees are squeezed together.

It's almost two miles away from the nearest house in the door, and almost all the way is walking on a steep road, and the road is not easy to walk, when they come all the way, they are all open roads, Wu Xinqiu sighed for a while, "Alas, it's really hard." ”

Jiang Gaoyuan smiled, "Does Senior Brother Wu regret it now?"

Wu Xinqiu shook his head, "Regret it or not, this is not something I can decide, but if the other party feels that this little hardship will make me retreat, it will inevitably be too much to look down on me, and I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles I have encountered on the path of cultivation, what is this." ”

That's a good point, but since the other party wants to knock and knock you, how can he only set up such a small obstacle for you? Still too young, Jiang Gaoyuan shook his head, "It's not early today, Senior Brother Wu, you should practice as soon as possible, you are a new disciple, you will go to the Fengshang Scripture Pavilion tomorrow, and the door will have its own arrangements for you when the time comes." ”

Wu Xinqiu nodded, and the two said goodbye.

Looking at the vast expanse under the cliff, the lofty mountains in the distance, and a wind blowing, Wu Xinqiu thought of a poem that did not fit the occasion:

The son of the rhino canal jade sword, a young man with a white horse and a golden bondage.
