Text Chapter 08 Side Door Passage
"Back to Elder Ji, the kid is willing to take charge of the tidying up of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower" As soon as Elder Ji finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng chose the latter without hesitation.
"The ninth layer of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower happens to be in charge of no one yet, since this is the case, then you are in charge of the ninth layer. Elder Ji said lightly.
"This is for you, go to the ninth floor by yourself, and don't bother me if you have nothing to do. As soon as Elder Ji finished speaking, he threw a piece of Xuantie token and a small red-skinned book to Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng had just caught the Xuantie token and a small red-skinned notebook, and Gu Qingfeng had just wanted to ask where his residence was, but he hadn't had time to ask yet. Immediately, he felt a great push pushing towards him, and Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be pushed out of the stone room. The next moment, a "rumbling" came to his ears, and then the coffee-colored stone door began to slowly close.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Elder Ji's words and demeanor just now, "He intuitively told himself that this Elder Ji was not a good person. Gu Qingfeng secretly scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask again.
This small red-skinned book originally recorded some rules in the Xiuzhen Academy, to be precise, some rules set by Elder Ji. Because all the rules in the small book are written very clearly, the staff under the jurisdiction of Elder Ji must strictly abide by and enforce them, and if they violate it, they will be severely punished.
The first rule in the small book says that before the end of the morning every day, you must complete the tasks you are responsible for every day on time, and if there is any abnormal situation, you must report it in time.
And Gu Qingfeng's daily work was to clean up the unused cultivation stone room. That Xuantie token is the key to open the door of the cultivation stone room, as long as there are no disciples cultivating in the cultivation stone room, he can use the Xuantie token to open the cultivation stone room, and clean up the cultivation stone room in time. If he is found to have failed in his duties, he will be severely fined.
However, Gu Qingfeng finished reading the entire small book, and he didn't find any explanation of what kind of situation is considered an abnormal situation?
He didn't know anything about these Gu Qingfeng, the only thing he knew at the moment was that this Taiyi Cultivation Tower had nine floors, and the place where he worked was on the ninth floor, and Gu Qingfeng didn't even know where to eat and rest now.
Although Gu Qingfeng also wanted to find out about Yue Qingyi, he didn't know where Yue Qingyi was. Xiuzhen Academy is so big, and if he finds someone, just let him walk around Xiuzhen Academy, it is estimated that he will not be able to do it in a short time.
Originally, he thought that after Yue Qingyi sent him to Elder Ji, he should also be waiting for him outside, but when Gu Qingfeng was pushed out of the stone room by Elder Ji, he didn't find Yue Qingyi's figure.
He didn't look for Yue Qingyi in the Xiuzhen Academy, and Gu Qingfeng knew very well in his heart that the less he showed up here, the better. Since Yue Qingyi can know that he has offended Duan Fenghuo, it means that Duan Fenghuo's status in the Xiuzhen Academy is not low, or that Murong Qingqing, who saved him at that time, has a high status here, otherwise the matter will definitely not be transmitted to Yue Qingyi.
When Gu Qingfeng climbed to the ninth floor of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower, the ninth floor was not as big as he imagined, this Taiyi Cultivation Tower was divided into nine floors, although this Taiyi Pagoda was not a spire, but after all, it was also a tower-shaped building, and the more it went up, the space it would naturally occupy would naturally be reduced accordingly, which Gu Qingfeng had already expected.
After reaching the ninth layer, Gu Qingfeng counted it carefully, and there were as many as thirty-six cultivation stone rooms. It took Gu Qingfeng a lot of time to figure things out, as long as the position of the Xuantie token placed in the groove of the cultivation stone room was reversed, it meant that there were disciples cultivating in the stone room. On the contrary, if there is no reversal state displayed in the groove of the token, it means that there are no disciples in this cultivation stone room, and it is empty.
There were obviously very few disciples of the ninth layer of cultivation, and after Gu Qingfeng's inspection, only the position of the Xuantie token at the door of the three cultivation rooms was reversed, and the rest were all normal.
When Gu Qingfeng understood this situation clearly, he tried to press it into a normal groove with the Xuantie token, and a low friction sound of "rumble" came, and the stone door of the cultivation stone room automatically retracted. Immediately, Gu Qingfeng saw the situation in the cultivation stone room clearly, the area occupied by this cultivation stone room was not small, and this cultivation stone room was also divided into two.
The outer one of the cultivation stone rooms was like a small basketball court, and at this moment, the ground was in a mess, and there were several marks that seemed to have been burned by fire. I don't know what kind of martial arts are practiced to be so powerful, but there is only a stone bed in the inner room, which looks like it should be a place to rest.
After Gu Qingfeng exited this cultivation stone room, he went to the rest of the stone rooms where there were no disciples to cultivate. The condition of these cultivation stone chambers is similar, and some of the stone chambers seem to have just had a rainstorm, and pools of stagnant water can be seen everywhere. Some of the stone chambers are as if a fire had just broken out, showing all kinds of traces of burning everywhere, and some stone chambers are littered with all kinds of dead plant canes.
When Gu Qingfeng made an inspection, he seemed to have understood that the tasks he should do every day were probably those things, which should be to clean the empty cultivation room every day. To put it bluntly, he was just a cleaner who was in charge of cleaning the cultivation stone room.
After he walked around the ninth floor, Gu Qingfeng finally found his residence in a corner, which was a small stone room of only a few square meters. Elder Ji also lived in a stone room, but his small stone room was not comparable to the stone room where Elder Ji lived at all. The only difference is that the door of this stone chamber is made of wood.
This place may only be about the size of the rest room in the cultivation stone room, but there are only a few more things in this stone room than the cultivation lounge. In addition to a stone bed, there are several cleaning tools leaning on the side of this stone room. A wooden barrel, a huge broom, a rusty shovel, and a dustpan took up a fifth of the stone chamber.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had a place to live, although it was in the cultivation tower where people came and went, it was relatively remote. The only thing he wanted to know was where he ate and washed.
Go and ask Elder Ji, Gu Qingfeng would never dare to go. He deliberately ran to the door of the small stone room on the eighth floor, which was also a wooden door, and when he knocked on the wooden door, a horse-faced man with a thinner body than him appeared.
Gu Qingfeng saw the impatience on the horse-faced man's face at the moment, and he hurriedly asked politely, "Senior brother, I am in charge of cleaning the ninth floor stone room, and I just arrived at the Xiuzhen Academy today, can you tell me where the place to eat is?"
"The one who told you to clean the cultivation stone room has something to eat?" the horse-faced man replied disdainfully, and then with a "bang", the wooden door was closed again.
Gu Qingfeng never expected that he was just asking a question, this horse-faced man's attitude was so bad, he could only prepare to continue to go down to the seventh layer to ask. The area of the eighth layer was much larger than that of the ninth layer, and occasionally disciples could be seen entering and leaving the cultivation stone room, while on the ninth floor, Gu Qingfeng could not see any disciples entering or leaving at all.
"Wait a minute. At the top of the stairs, Gu Qingfeng was shouted.
"Are you calling me?" Gu Qingfeng turned around and saw a young man who was obviously much older than him in appearance, this young man's complexion was a bit like the male protagonist in Xun Qin Ji, and the actor also had the same surname as Gu Qingfeng. This young man should have just come out of the cultivation stone room. I saw him smile at Gu Qingfeng, obviously not malicious.
Gu Qingfeng also understood in his heart that no matter what kind of disciple he cultivated here, his status was much higher than that of him, who was a handyman. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had no intention of asking such people at all, nor did he plan to talk to these disciples more. In the Blue Moon Country, the people who can enter this second-class cultivation academy basically have extraordinary backgrounds, no matter which one it is, the current Gu Qingfeng can't afford to offend.
"You should be in charge of cleaning the cultivation stone room, right? The boy asked directly.
"Senior Brother Hui, yes, I just arrived at Xiuzhen Academy today, and I don't know where to eat yet, so I came down to find out. Gu Qingfeng hurriedly replied.
"I see that not only do you not know where to eat, but you don't even know the rules in the Taiyi Cultivation Tower. In the future, remember that the handyman of this grand staircase cannot walk, once you are met by those disciples or elders who have a heart, you will have to retreat even if you don't die. ”
After listening to this young man's words, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be surprised, there was no mention of this rule in the little red book, he just came down from the ninth floor, it was the big staircase, and now he can still be safe, it seems that his luck is not bad. But if there really is such a rule, if the boy does not remind him in time, no matter how good his luck is, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape punishment.
"Thank you, senior brother, for telling me bluntly, otherwise I would be in danger. Gu Qingfeng hurriedly thanked the other party.
The young man couldn't help but smile, "It's nothing, I used to clean the cultivation stone room, I did it for five years, and then I cultivated to the second layer of condensation, and then I was favored by the cultivation academy, and then I became an official disciple of the academy, and now I am at the fourth layer of condensation." If you work hard, you may be able to be like me in the future. But you remember, in the future, when you enter and exit the Taiyi Cultivation Tower, you can only walk through the side door. ”
After speaking, the young man's hand pointed to an extremely hidden small door, "There is the side door, there are every floor of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower, after you enter, you can go directly to the back of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower." There is a place to eat at the back of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower, but you have to earn the money for the meal yourself, and you remember not to go to Elder Ji, otherwise you will die, good luck. ”
After the young man finished speaking, he didn't tell Gu Qingfeng his name, and walked down the stairs by himself.
Gu Qingfeng could see that the other party did not intend to get acquainted with him. However, these points of guidance given to him by this young man are also equivalent to saving his life, and Gu Qingfeng has a very good impression of this young man in his heart.
Seeing that there seemed to be footsteps coming from the big staircase again, Gu Qingfeng hurriedly walked to the small door in the corner, opened the door and quickly flashed in. Behind the small door was dark, with only a narrow staircase passage. Gu Qingfeng walked all the way down the stairs, and when he came out of the stairs, Gu Qingfeng found that he was already at the back of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower.
The back of the Taiyi Cultivation Tower is also the inside of the Xiuzhen Academy, but there are very few people who come, and there is only a curved and slender passage. On both sides of the passage were some towering trees, and in the middle of the shadows of the trees, you could still see the many disciples of the Xiuzhen Academy coming and going. There were also some disciples who deliberately got into this trail and hurried along the trail.
