Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Outer Disciples (Ask for Collection)
With a creak, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and an old man in gray limped in.
The old man's black and white hair was intertwined, and there was a hint of chaos, this old man was the mysterious gray-clothed old man who was the rival of the two Demon Sect masters, Yinji Xuanchen.
The old man in gray glanced at Zhao Yu who was in a daze in the sun, and said coldly, "Are you awake?"
A faint sentence, like a thousand years of cold air hitting his body, Zhao Yu felt like he was in an ice cellar, he woke up like a dream, only to find that he didn't know when an old man in a gray robe stood in front of him. The old man looked at him with cold, emotionless eyes.
Zhao Yuen said with a sigh: "Why am I here, you saved me?"
The gray-robed old man said: "How can I have that ability, it was the Taoist master of this sect who saved you!" He looked at Zhao Yu, who was in a daze, and said impatiently: "Okay, you will live here in the future, you can clean the room by yourself!" and then threw something to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was stunned and took it, and found that it was a quilt, mattress or something.
The gray-robed old man turned to leave, Zhao Yu looked at his old back and said, "Old man, what kind of place is this?"
"Chaokun Sect!"
A faint voice came, without a trace of emotion.
Zhao Yu was stunned and said to himself: "Chaokun Sect, one of the five major sects of the Righteous Path?"
The following day, the gray-robed old man did not reappear.
Zhao Yu was in a daze for an hour before starting to clean up the small courtyard.
I don't know how long this small courtyard has been abandoned, and weeds are rampant. With no weeding tools, it took him a long time to get rid of all the weeds. Looking at the small courtyard that seemed to be clean in an instant, he said to himself: "It would be even better if some flowers and plants were planted in this courtyard!"
The house was still dark, Zhao Yu opened the closed window, a ray of sunlight shone in, and the room was much brighter.
He cleaned the thick dust off the table, and moved all the dusty debris to the small courtyard and placed it in the corner of the courtyard.
Laying the bedding sent by the gray-robed old man on the bed, he lay on the bed, looked at the room that had become clean and bright, and said, "This is the room!"
The next day, the gray-robed old man appeared. He looked at the renovated courtyard with a slight sense of consternation. He brought Zhao Yu some food, left his gray clothes, and told Zhao Yu to change the tattered clothes on his body, and then left on his own.
After not eating for a day, Zhao Yu was already hungry, so he gobbled up all the meals and had a comfortable burp.
The clothes sent by the gray-robed old man fit well, all gray, and the left side of the clothes was embroidered with an upright golden sword pattern on his chest.
Zhao Yu said to himself, "Could it be that this is the symbol pattern of the Chaokun Sect?" He looked at it for a while, and then felt bored and gave up.
In the next three or four days, the gray-robed old man left on his own after delivering some food every time, never saying a word of nonsense to Zhao Yu.
In the first few days, Zhao Yu still had a new feeling for this new environment, and after he walked back and forth in this small courtyard dozens of times, he suddenly felt bored, and he decided to go out for a walk.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Yu was dumbfounded.
As far as the eye can see, every tree grows tall, I don't know what it is, there are several paths in the woods, and the peaks and loops do not know where they lead. Zhao Yu asked in his heart: Is this really the Chaokun Sect, which is known as the giant of the righteous path?
He walked down the forest path, only knowing the beginning, but not the end, as if he was walking his own life path, confused and moving forward.
After walking for more than an hour, my eyes lit up, and I finally walked out of this large wood, and there was a pass in front of me, which seemed to be the way down the mountain.
On both sides of the pass stood a dignified young man of twenty-five or sixteen years, both of whom were dressed in pale yellow robes, holding a long sword, and a small sword pattern embroidered on the right sleeve, which was exactly the same as the pattern on Zhao Yu's chest.
Zhao Yu guessed that these two must be senior brothers waiting for the way down the mountain, smiled at the two, and was about to pass by.
The young man on the left shouted: "Go back! The outer disciples do not have the pass given by the elders, and they are not qualified to go to the front mountain, this is the rule of this sect, don't you know?" There was a lot of contempt in his tone, and the young man on the right smiled at Zhao Yu and did not say a word.
Zhao Yu thought to himself, "Outer disciple, what is that?" but still took back the steps he had just taken.
The disciples of Chaokun Sect are divided into inner and outer disciples.
The so-called inner disciples are those who have officially performed the apprenticeship and are accepted by the elders of the sect as disciples and teach the Dao Fa.
There are five peaks in front of Chaokun Zong, and the scenery is beautiful, which are Ruijin Peak, Aoki Peak, Bishui Peak, Agni Peak, and Houtu Peak. On top of each mountain peak lived an elder, who was the fifth elder of the sect, and each elder had dozens to hundreds of disciples under his seat. Due to the large number of disciples, many inner disciples are taught by senior brothers, and only some disciples with excellent qualifications or who please the five elders are taught by the master himself.
The outer disciples do not have a master, so they naturally do not need to worship the master, to put it bluntly, they are miscellaneous laborers, specializing in some chores in the back mountains of the sect, and they are not qualified to learn the exquisite immortal arts in the sect, and they have the lowest status in the Chaokun sect. Compared with the outer disciples and the inner disciples, they all sound like disciples, but the treatment is indeed a world of difference.
The two young men guarding the mountain, the one on the left is named Shi Du, and the one on the right is Bai Xiao, both of whom are inner disciples of the Chaokun Sect.
Shi is a disciple of Aoki Peak, and Bai Xiao is indeed a disciple of Elder Bishui Peak, and the two of them are on duty today to guard the back mountain pass to prevent the outer disciples from taking the opportunity to blend into the front mountain.
Zhao Yu was stunned and was about to go back, when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. When he looked back, he saw that it was a short, stocky boy who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. The young man had a fat face and a smile on his face. Behind the fat boy stood three young men in their twenties, looking at Zhao Yu with a smile.
Seeing Zhao Yuleng in place, the fat young man scratched his hair, and said with a straight smile: "My name is Fat Head", he pointed to the three young people behind him and said: "That tall and thin one is called Ma Pole; that one with a thief in the eyeballs, who looks like a profiteer, is black-hearted, and his father is a businessman, and his whole heart is black; as for the other one who looks without the slightest emotion, and is as cold as ice, is the cold-faced Yama. We're all in the back mountain kitchen, what's your name, which part is it?"
After the fat head introduced, Ma Pole and Black Heart almost scolded, and the two of them secretly scolded this stupid fat man in their hearts for how could he introduce people like this, this is the introduction there, which is obviously hurting people. The young man known as the cold-faced Yama was expressionless, standing in place without saying a word, not caring at all about the fat head's evaluation of him.
Zhao Yu looked at the clothes they were wearing exactly the same as his own clothes, and naturally had a little affection for them in his heart, and naturally knew that most of them were nicknames when he heard their names, and said with a smile: "In Xia Zhao Yu, I have only been here for a few days, and I don't know which part I belong to." ”
As soon as Zhao Yu said this, the fat heads were dumbfounded.
Although the outer disciples of the Chaokun Sect cannot be compared with the inner disciples, they also need to be introduced, and the righteous path giants are not just casual people can come in, and a spy who accidentally mixes into the Demon Sect will be troublesome.
Ma Zhu said impatiently: "Why are you so strange, you don't know which part you are, who brought you up the mountain?"
Zhao Yu said: "I don't know, I was seriously injured at the bottom of the mountain, and I am here after waking up." ”
Black Heart shook his head on the side and said, "Incredible, incredible!"
Zhao Yu looked at these people and looked at himself like monsters, and said, "After I came here, I have seen an old man in gray a few times. He brought me food once a day, I don't know what his name is, he seems to have a little inconvenience in his legs and feet. ”
The fat head, the black heart, and the hemp pole said in unison: "Old man Gray Chen!"
After hearing this name, an inexplicable expression appeared on the face of the cold-faced Yama, as if it was painful. However, this expression was just a flash, and the fat heads didn't care, and they didn't see it in their eyes.
Zhao Yuqi said: "Is his name Old Man Gray Chen? I really don't know this, too, he wears gray clothes every day." ”
The black heart said with a smile: "Now you have a good errand!"
Zhao Yu said: "What?"
Blackheart said: "It's nothing, you'll know later." ”
Zhao Yu is like a monk who can't figure his head.
Ma Zhu said: "In the future, we will have more time to deal with, so come to the kitchen to find us if you are fine." We can tell you more about the sect, so that you can accidentally get into trouble again. ”
Zhao Yu thanked them, and the four of them shook their hands to signal that they were not polite.
Since Zhao Yu was not familiar with the environment of the back mountain, and there were tall trees everywhere, Fat Head decided to send him back after asking him where he lived, and the three of them didn't say anything and went back on their own.
On the way back, the fat head who was not good at words told Zhao Yu some things about Chaokun Sect, and Zhao Yu was dumbfounded. This made him feel a lot more good about this stupid-looking little fat man.
In the next few days, as soon as Fat Tou had free time, he went to Zhao Yu's residence to find him.
In the first few days, the old man Gray Chen still sent food to Zhao Yu as usual, for fear that he would starve to death.
Until one day, when the old man Gray Chen saw the fat head in Zhao Yu's residence, he first shook it for a moment, and then left a sentence and left.
"I didn't think you knew this little guy, with him, I don't have to worry about you being starved to death in the future!
Zhao Yu looked at the back of the old man Gray Chen, looking dazed.
The fat head patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, I'm here, I won't starve you!"
The next day, the old man did not bring food again. Zhao Yu had to go to the kitchen in person to beg for food from the fat heads.
