Chapter Twenty-Six: The Poor Monk

After walking around the Baiyun Cave for a while, it was already dark, and it was estimated that it was time to eat. The monks of the third qi stage can't open the valley, and they only eat one meal for ten days to ensure their physical needs. In order to mingle with everyone, it is still necessary to go to the canteen to eat. Slowly pacing, came to a bamboo garden, the external environment of the canteen is good, bamboo fragrance with the fragrance of rice, will enjoy it. The canteen is not big, with a long table about a dozen zhang long and wide, with a vegetable basin on it, and a monk with a "duty student" ribbon stands behind it. The male cultivators lined up to get the food, each of them had something like a bowl, and the dishes they liked to eat asked the students on duty to take a spoon and put the dishes into the bowl, and the dining hall was very quiet, no one made any noise, and they left the hall after the food was in hand.

The students on duty didn't look at Junbao who came in, and no one came up to ask, and the monks in line glanced at it at most, and then they acted as if there was no Junbao. Damn, what kind of situation is this, all of them are like zombies with no expression, no language, they don't speak when ordering, but use their hands to point, stretch the bowl forward, and as soon as the food is loaded, they move to the next vegetable basin, until the last vegetable basin. There is no record in the entry instructions, Jun Bao pulled a monk who was just about to leave the hall, "This senior brother, what are the rules of this dining hall? The monk looked at Junbao with a smile on his face, "Go and ask about the total duty." He cherished his words like gold, and turned around and left.

Junbao is looking for the total duty day in the room, and I didn't see anyone hanging the "total duty day" ribbon at all, and I saw that the house was full of people who didn't care about it, and I knew that I couldn't ask a reason for it, so I went out to find it, but I couldn't find it. Bypassing the canteen, there are kitchens, grain depots, vegetable depots, oil depots, firewood depots, etc., and finally I saw the rooms of the people living in the last row of houses, and looked down the rooms to see if there was anyone, and when I saw that there were people in the largest room, I pushed the door in.

This man is a big fat man, sitting on a high stool drinking and eating, he should be a person in charge, right? Junbao asked again with a smile on his face. "The monks of this Baiyun Cave eat here, I am the security manager here, the Lu manager told you, you can't eat in vain, the food here is a real meal, it is completely different from your secular food, these are all planted by our canteen monks with hard work, hoping to change some spirit stone flowers, so you must have spirit stones to eat, I don't send idlers." You are a newcomer, you have a monthly spirit stone every month, you can eat here for ten meals, and after you make a monthly order, you will come to me to pay for the meal. I don't want your spirit stone for this first meal, I will invite you to the kitchen. The big fat man sat down and said the rules slowly, without raising his eyes a few times.

After saying that, he took out a bowl from the cabinet against the wall, which was exactly the same as what Junbao had seen in the dining hall. "This is a special bowl with a billing spell, you need to pay a deposit of ten spirit stones, considering that you are a newcomer, my hall stipulates that you can borrow money, you will be rewarded after completing the task in the future, you will return it then, take your token," there are matching utensils in the bowl, no wonder I didn't see any food in my room. Junbao doesn't want to stand out from the crowd, everyone is from newcomers, and they are not subject to some exploitation, but it is not a normal thing. took out the identity token he had just taken and handed it to the security manager, this token was put into a container in a jar by the security manager, and after a while, he took out the token, "Okay, you owe a total of eleven spirit stones to the canteen, you have to hurry up to get the task to earn the spirit stone, if you can't return it when it expires, you will be paid off by the canteen with labor services, and the students you see on duty are about to pay off their debts, so you can serve in the canteen." If you are far from repaying the money, you will go to the back mountain to plant spiritual fields and raise spirit animals, which is very hard, you have to work hard to pay off your debts as soon as possible. ”

This is too cheating, I didn't do anything, I owe eleven spirit stones, and the spirit stones in the orb are enough, but Junbao doesn't want to expose the secret that he has spirit stones. After the money is paid, let's go to dinner and see what the food in the cultivation realm is. Back to the dining hall again, draw the gourd in the same way, the bowl is not big, it can't hold much, even if it is full, it is not enough for any monk to eat, if you want to be full, you have to eat a few more meals, you need to spend more spirit stones. Look at the dead look of everyone, you can understand that whether it is eating or on duty in the canteen, they are all miserable, the lower the cultivation, the more inseparable from the diet, this canteen uses this trick to let the low-level monks serve them at a low price for many years!

The mood became a little unhappy, the cultivation realm is cruel, everyone in order to cultivate, that is to do everything, earn more spirit stones, in exchange for resources, this is still civilized, killing people and goods, that is the way to make a fortune quickly. Presumably, the sect also uses this means to stimulate low-level monks, don't vainly try to get pies in the sky, go to plant spiritual fields and raise spirit beasts, I'm afraid it's the lowest-grade task, there is no danger, but the benefits are also small. It seems that I also have to find some tasks to do, of course, I can do my best, and I will be exempted from killing the Void Slashing Golden Pill and the like.

The food in this cultivation realm is indeed better than the food in the secular realm, most of it is ordinary energy ingredients, and it contains a certain amount of spiritual energy ingredients in it, and there are also toxic and ineffective ingredients, but the proportion is very low, it is easy to detoxify after eating it, and it is easy to absorb aura, which is indeed helpful for cultivation, but this is only useful for low-level monks, and high-level monks have all opened the valley, so they don't need to eat ordinary spiritual rice and spirit animals to strengthen the absorption of spiritual energy and improve cultivation, in fact, it is useless to eat it.

After eating this high-priced meal, I returned to the small courtyard No. 37. The three rooms in the courtyard have "lights", and this "light" is emitted by the illuminated candle stones, and the light is stimulated by true qi. The light is dim and unknown, that is, it is stronger than the light of the worldly small candles, belch, poor a few low-level monks, most of them are to save some money to buy the spirit stone of the candle stone, the introduction needs to know that all the items used in daily life, you have to spend the spirit stone to buy, what is the price, you don't know, just look at the canteen, you understand, everyone is not easy, don't bother them today, the ghost knows if they are the same as the one they met in the canteen, they ignore the look, no one wants to do the hot face and cold ass.

Lying down in the empty living room, I briefly thought about the situation that I might encounter when I saw the master tomorrow, I got up at the right time, pushed the door and went out, the monks in the three rooms of the courtyard had already gone out, and it was estimated that they were going to earn spirit stones, they were really hard, they could only use the evening to practice on their own, and the best time for cultivation had to work. After a simple wash, I rushed to Yuqingyan.

When I came to Yuqingyan, the sky was still dark, and the stars were lit up, accompany me to Xiuzhen! The whole courtyard group was already brightly lit, noisy, mixed with the sound of laughter and play, this woman's nest is like this, in order to avoid suspicion, Junbao went directly to the outside of the hall to stand and wait. After a short time, dozens of female cultivators came to wait outside the hall in groups, talking and laughing. In addition to embroidering one or two or three golden double-petaled pink pearl plums on the cuffs, the difference in the number of flowers found indicates the level of cultivation, and it turned out to be like this, so that it is convenient for the low-level monks to correctly understand the cultivation of the high-level monks, and it is also convenient to call each other.

This group of female cultivators doesn't look very old, but Junbao understands that most of them are older than themselves, and some are much older, and the female cultivators all attach importance to their appearance, and maintain their appearance at about 30, which is the choice of most female cultivators. You can't pretend to be too much, it's unstable. Seeing that there was still a dumbfounded male cultivator standing outside the hall, wearing a black male cultivator with a little toad embroidered on his cuffs, he was very young, he was definitely not taking a plastic surgery pill such as a Dingyan pill, no low-level male cultivator would use the precious spirit stone to buy this kind of pill, there was no need at all! The female cultivators stared at him curiously, looking up and down, from time to time they exchanged their heads and ears, whispered, and from time to time burst out some irrepressible laughter, waving their pink fists, chasing and playing around. Junbao stood alone on one side, dozens of them on the other side, they were judgmental of themselves, and they had a tendency to see through all their beards and tails, which was really uncomfortable!

Fortunately, I also saw an acquaintance, Xia Sijing, she winked at Junbao to say hello. Sun Lizhen who I saw yesterday continued to be cold, there was no one within three feet around, I could see that she usually had no friends, and the one surnamed Liang she met when she entered the mountain gate was also there, she looked at Junbao a few more times, I don't know what she was thinking, and the corners of her mouth showed some smiles, which made Junbao inexplicable, Lao Tzu is not handsome, what are you smiling at me? Could it be that she is hungry and does not choose to eat? There is still a quarter of an hour to go, and Jiang Yifang has not yet been seen, and Sun Lizhen looked at Zhong Leak, and shouted to this group of female cultivators, "All silent, the whole team enters the hall!" She shouted, the scattered crowd took their places, their expressions became solemn, and in the process of queuing, Junbao was squeezed to the back, and the queue was lined up, respectful and orderly, and the fish entered the hall
