Chapter 9: The Miscellaneous Career
Time flies, and unconsciously, it has been half a year since Sun Hao entered Qizhumen. He has also grown into an eighteen-year-old boy, and after half a year, his bookish anger has almost been smoothed out. Now if Sun Hao's parents see him, they will definitely think that this resolute young man is not their son.
Sun Hao himself also felt the change in himself, but he didn't feel emotional. Only now did he understand what Liu Wei meant by the sect's laissez-faire towards himself and others.
In the past six months, he has almost worked hard to get through.
The first trouble I encountered was not eating. The sect does not raise idlers, and all disciples who have not entered the condensation period must do some miscellaneous labor in exchange for daily meals. However, the miscellaneous servants in the sect are not so easy to do, and most of them are some hard work, such as carrying water, chopping wood, washing clothes, etc. And the amount is extremely large, for example, to chop firewood, you have to cut hundreds of catties a day to be qualified, and if you don't have qualified, you won't have food.
That's just it, it can be done with some hard work, but the bullying of those old miscellaneous disciples who have been in the mountain for three or five years makes the newcomers unbearable. They form gangs, gang up to bully newcomers, impose their tasks on newcomers, and if they don't do it, they will add fists and kicks, and it is not uncommon for them to kill people. Many newcomers can't eat because they can't complete the task, and they are hungry. No wonder Liu Wei thought that Sun Hao was here to steal steamed buns, such things happen from time to time. There are even some bold disciples who use force on some beautiful female disciples, which ruins the chastity of many female disciples.
Sun Hao saw with his own eyes that a young man who came with him was beaten by several big men and vomited blood because of resistance, and was finally starved to death on the sickbed.
Although the sect has a steward to manage, this steward is surprisingly also a mortal, a disciple who has been working here for a long time. This steward is also an unscrupulous person, he colluded with a group of powerful disciples, bullied men and women, and made the entire miscellaneous area miserable, and the disciples only had the share of stammering, and did not dare to disobey. Only then did Sun Hao understand that this is a world without legal constraints, and a dead person is like a dead ant, and no one cares.
However, fortunately, Liu Wei also made some famous names here, and he took care of him, so that he didn't dare to bully Sun Hao, Sun Hao couldn't help but be grateful to this chubby roommate.
On this day, Sun Hao completed the day's tasks early, in the envious eyes of a group of rookie disciples wearing uniform cloth clothes. After a hearty meal in the dining hall, he went back to his room and practiced according to the scroll.
It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that he finished his cultivation, rubbed his numb legs, and smiled a little helplessly. In the past six months, it can almost be said that he has worked hard to cultivate aura, but the effect is not satisfactory.
He inhaled and exhaled according to the breathing method described in the book, and it took him three months to feel the presence of the aura. That soft breath was inhaled into his body by him, running slowly along the meridians of his body. He was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally cultivate his aura. Unexpectedly, this wisp of aura circled around his body, drilled out again, and made him fall from heaven to hell in one fell swoop.
It is very clear in the book that only when the aura enters the body and circles in the dantian, forming a cyclone, can it be regarded as entering the first layer of the condensation period, but I didn't expect this aura to be so strange that it no longer stays in the body at all.
Sun Hao didn't believe in evil and continued to feel the aura between heaven and earth, but no matter how hard he tried, those aura just refused to stay in his dantian for a moment.
He asked Liu Wei a little strangely, and Liu Wei told him that this was a normal reaction. Feeling the aura is only the first step, it is not too difficult, and many people here can feel the aura. But this induction of qi into the body stumped everyone. This requires a large amount of aura to be felt, or an external force to cause the aura to collide in the body and form a cyclone to be stored in the body.
But the qualifications of this group of people are ridiculously poor, how can they feel so much aura, they can only turn the aura they feel in the body every day and warm the dantian. If you are lucky, you may be able to save a trace and enter the condensation period, which is also a stupid method used by many cultivators with poor qualifications. However, the luck component of such a method is too large, and it takes too long, and if you are unlucky, you can't save half a trace of aura in your life, and you can only be empty and sad.
Sun Hao had no choice but to try his luck, but half a year has passed, and no results have been achieved. But because I sat every day, I missed the time to start the meal a few times, and I was hungry a few times.
Today's result also did not surprise Sun Hao at all, or as usual, the aura turned around in the body and disappeared quietly. He sighed, seniority is still important, those disciples of the double spirit root and the three spirit root hardly need to worry about this. They have a small number of spiritual roots, and they have a more direct aura sense with their own attributes, and they have a higher degree of fit, and they can easily feel a large amount of spiritual energy, and it only takes a few days to complete this process. I heard that the girl with the twin spirit roots completed this process in only three hours, and was praised as a genius by the head.
I really don't know how fast those single spirit root cultivators will cultivate, I'm afraid that a stick of incense can complete this simple qi induction into the body. Sun Hao shook his head a little discouraged, driving away a trace of shadow in his heart.
When he shook his head, he moved the blue crystal hanging around his neck, and his flesh hurt a little. He took the crystal off and couldn't help but look at it with some emotion.
When he was in Xuelong Village, he knew that this crystal was a treasure, and when he carried it on his body, it would not invade the cold and heat, and it would refresh his mind. He can survive this half a year, and this crystal is indispensable. Whenever he was tired from doing chores, this crystal would release a warm current similar to aura, which made him feel energetic in an instant.
It's not that he didn't try to absorb this warm current, but this warm current is not aura at all, he uses the method of absorbing aura to absorb it, and there is no reaction at all. I just feel full of energy every day, and sometimes I can't even sleep. After several unsuccessful attempts, he didn't try again, but just wore it close to his body every day and kept it carefully.
He believes that this crystal is just a mortal treasure, which can only bring people back to their spirits and is of no great use. At most, even if it is a good gem, it cannot be compared with the spells of the immortals. But he didn't know that in the cultivation realm, restoring the spirit could only be done by some top-notch magic weapons.
Now Sun Hao doesn't know so much, but he stuffed the crystal into his clothes with emotion, and continued to feel the aura hard, hoping to enter the condensation period one day.
Just as he was cultivating hard, there was a sudden commotion outside the house, and the trace of aura that he had just sensed was gone. He stood up angrily, and was about to go out to take a look, when he suddenly heard Liu Wei's voice, "How can Senior Brother Gao Bo have the leisure to come here, I don't know what I want Senior Brother me to serve." ”
A somewhat shrill voice replied, "Senior Brother Liu doesn't dare to talk nonsense, I'm not here to hang out." This time, I was given a task by the boss, asking me to find two people to clean up the garbage for Dan's pharmacy. It's a good errand, brother, I took care of you, so I came to you. In case you find one or two waste pills from that pile of ashes, it is not impossible to enter the condensation period by chance. ”
"Oh, then I have to thank my brother, my brother's kindness is unforgettable. Liu Wei's voice seemed a little weird.
"Little things, it's all small things, hahahaha......"
Sun Hao listened to the words of the two, and his heart moved. This is a good opportunity, his cultivation has not progressed, if he can go to the alchemy room with Liu Wei this time, maybe he can find a way to break through the difficulties in front of him.
Just as he was thinking, Liu Wei had already bid farewell to Gao Bo and pushed the door into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, he found that Sun Hao was looking at him with blank eyes, and knew that the conversation between the two of them outside was overheard by Sun Hao, so he smiled and said: "Look at what, as long as it is a good thing, I will definitely take care of you, who let me look at you eye to eye." ”
Sun Hao smiled a little embarrassedly.
"It's just that this matter is not a good thing, I have to make it clear to you, don't look back and regret blaming me. Liu Wei turned his back and said in a deep voice: "This Gao Bo is not a good person, he was originally a miscellaneous disciple like us, and the master saw that he was unhappy, so he beat him." Who knows what shit luck he took, but he broke through to the first floor of the condensation period and entered the outer door, and now he is giving orders in front of me like a dog. When the master saw his deteriorating appearance, he wanted to abolish him, but he was helpless where his identity was pressing. I still have to give him a smile every day, it's really hateful to think about. ”
"Oh, it seems like a bit far, but remember, this man's words can't be trusted. Liu Wei patted his head and said: "This time he is clearly coming for me, probably to avenge the revenge of the year." He was worried about my influence among the miscellaneous disciples, and he was afraid of offending people, so he didn't dare to attack me openly, so he stumbled me and arranged this hard work for me. You must know that the work in the alchemy room is not easy to do. Thousands of catties of furnace ash have to be transported to us from the back mountain, and they cannot be discarded at will, and they must be dug and filled. Usually the outer disciples use magic to transport, but now Gao Bo sent it to me, if I were alone, I wouldn't be able to finish it for three days and three nights. ”
Liu Wei continued with some concern: "Don't listen to what Gao Bo said, what is it to find waste pills from the ashes." Not to mention that you can't find it, even if you find it, you must not take it, the waste pill is poison! There was once a disciple of the outer sect who mistakenly took the waste pill, do you know what happened? Even his body exploded and exploded into a pile of minced meat, and he couldn't die. So you remember, the waste pill must not be eaten!"
Liu Wei said a lot of words, his mouth was a little dry, he drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and asked with a smile, "Are you still willing to go with me now?"
"Go! Why not?" Sun Hao gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Senior brother has always been taking care of me, and I have never been able to find a chance to repay my senior brother, which has always made me feel uneasy. Now I have finally found a chance to repay my brother, if I don't go, I will be no different from a beast. ”
Liu Wei looked at Sun Hao with some surprise, and laughed after a long time, "I, Liu Wei, have tasted enough of human warmth and coldness since I entered Qizhumen, and I have seen enough of the intrigue between people, I have long been disheartened, I didn't expect that there are still people who can be willing to be coolies for me, and I haven't been a fool in the past few years." You're a good kid, my lord didn't misread you. Hahahaha......"
Smiling and smiling, the corners of Liu Wei's eyes were a little moist.
Sun Hao was also a little moved, since he entered the mountain, thanks to the care of this chubby Liu Wei, he has always remembered it in his heart. Today, seeing that he is being calculated by others, he can't help, so he can only accompany him to do coolies. If he is an outer disciple, he can help Liu Wei push away this task, and it is possible to help Liu Wei solve this great enemy.
For the first time, Sun Hao had a great desire for strength, and only when he became strong could he protect himself and the people around him. He secretly made up his mind that he must enter the condensation period as soon as possible, for himself and for Liu Wei.
