Chapter 18: Huachen Gate

Four or five hours later, Tianjiu raised his head, and he finally finished digesting the general content of the three books. In fact, you don't need to write down all the content, just understand the general idea.

"Minutes of Cultivation Truth" roughly introduces the basic situation of the immortal cultivation world, such as the classification of cultivation in the immortal cultivation world, the classification of demon beasts, the screening of demonic beasts and ghosts, etc., and what interests Tianjiu the most is the introduction to the five gates of Dongling Mountain.

Huachen Gate, one of the five major immortal cultivation sects in Dongling Mountain.

According to the minutes, more than 2,000 years ago, the five gates of Dongling Mountain were originally the same door - Dongji Gate, which was founded by the genius Dongji Zhenren. However, after the accidental fall of the Dongji Zhenren, the Dongji Gate was instantly torn apart, and none of its five disciples were convinced, and after a protracted battle, there was still no result, and a large number of casualties were caused.

Zuihou, under the strong intervention of the three top wealthy families in Yuling, had no choice but to divide the foothills of Dongling Mountain equally, and the eldest disciple occupied the cultivation place of the Dongji real people and established the current Dongling Gate, while the other four disciples established Huachen Gate, Tianyi Gate, Danshan Cloud Pavilion and Qianji Gate respectively.

Huachenmen was also glorious at the beginning of its establishment, and the edge was close to the self-proclaimed orthodox Donglingmen, and after decades of open and secret competition, it occupied dozens of peaks.

And after a thousand years, today's Huachen Gate has plummeted, and at the end of the road, not only the strength of the monks ranks last, but also the peaks only occupy five, namely: Elder Peak, Tiandu Peak, Yizhi Peak, Red Leaf Peak and Dengxian Peak, of course, this does not include Huachen Peak where Elder Taishang is located. There are only a dozen minerals, medicine gardens and plantations under its jurisdiction, and most of them are barren land.

There are only 5,000 Huachenmen disciples, of which the outer disciples account for eighty percent, and the inner disciples are only more than 800 people, and the rest are some miscellaneous servants and guards. As for the high-level monks, there are only less than three hundred above the foundation building period, and only five are in the Jindan stage.

Donglingmen is still brilliant and infinite, occupying sixty-nine peaks and tens of thousands of monks, among which there are dozens of old monsters in Jindan; while Tianyi Gate has sprung up, occupying forty-one peaks and more than a dozen Jindan people; Qianjimen and Danshan Yunge also occupy more than twenty peaks each, and they are all rich.

Seeing this, Tianjiu sighed for a long time, he was really on his back, he was dead and alive, Zuihou had reached a declining sect, and he was just a swineherd that everyone was afraid to avoid.

"Huachen Gate Rules" is the thickest, about 100 pages. Wrote the rules of Huachen Gate, detailed to the management of the swineherd, there are clear regulations. For example, now, Tianjiu is the only swineherd, and according to the regulations, he must hand over three hundred catties of spirit pigs every month for the sect to eat.

The monks of the immortal cultivation realm, after reaching the foundation building period, although they can open the valley without eating anything, but the spirit pig, the spirit tea and the spirit valley, commonly known as the three spirits, can not only add to the stomach, but also absorb a little aura from it, which is softer and more pure than the aura obtained from the air and the spar. It is the preferred food for injured high-level disciples and all low-level inner disciples.

As for the outer disciples, these three spirit things are luxuries, although they are the producers of the three spirits, but few outer disciples can eat three meals a day, at most they treasure them, and when they are sick or injured, they take them out to regulate their bodies.

The rules also stipulate that all Huachen disciples are not allowed to defect or go out without permission, and once discovered, they will be sentenced to death, and if they are not punished, they will be sentenced to imprisonment instead.

Prison filling is to go to the Huachenmen mine to mine ore on a voluntary basis, of course, mining ore is not only tiring, but also may encounter poisonous snakes and beasts, and even encounter demon beasts, that way, for low-level qi refining disciples, it is tantamount to death. It is mentioned in "The Experience of the Spirit Pig" that the life and death of the outer disciples are very weak in the eyes of the sect, and there are no less than dozens of people who die in the mine every year, and there are almost no high-level questions.

In the door rules, there are also no killings in the same door, no contempt for elders, and the most surprising rule is that those who reach are respected, and there is a difference between inside and outside. As long as the person who cultivates to a higher level is an elder, and the person who is at the same level is an elder brother. And the inner disciple has absolute power, except for experience and cultivation, there is no need to do any miscellaneous work, any inner disciple can discipline the outer disciple, even if this outer disciple is much higher than the other party's cultivation.

If you want to enter the inner gate of Huachen Gate, there are three main ways, the first is the annual selection of Dongling Mountain, the second is the recommendation of the high-level of Huachen Gate, and the third is that you are a ninth-level Qi refining monk under the age of thirty.

This valley is the outermost Shili range of Huachen Gate, not within the protection of the sect array, the mountain peak in the east is the Dengxian Peak of Huachen Gate, and the other three sides are barren mountains, which do not belong to Huachen, and Huachen has no right to develop it, unless Huachen wins the ownership of the peak. I heard that there were a lot of demon beasts inside, and it was almost impossible for low-level disciples to come out alive if they entered.

It is also mentioned in the door rules that there are extremely powerful prohibitions around each mountain peak, and even there is a set of small prohibitions on the periphery of this valley, disciples below the sixth level of qi refining must not go out on their own, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

"Spirit Pig Experience" is the most practical for Tianjiu, it is a detailed description of the habits and captivity methods of the spirit pig, as well as insect and disease prevention and so on. Almost everything is too small, everything is covered. Tianjiu speculated that this should have been written by a senior swineherd.

After Tian Jiu learned about this, his stomach rumbled again.

However, he was not in a hurry at all, he already knew in the "Experience" that this valley was full of yams, and it was said that it also contained a trace of aura, which tasted slightly bitter, although the aura did not play much role for low-level cultivators, but there was no problem with it to feed the stomach, so in the past, the spirit pig did not reach the required number, and the confiscated rations had no effect on the swineherd here. Because of these yams, the sect almost never distributed food here, but symbolically brought some small grains by the law enforcement disciples every two months, just to improve and adjust the food.

Tianjiu hurriedly divided the piglets into more than a dozen pig houses, and cut dozens of catties of small thread grass around the hillside and put them into each pigsty.

According to the "Spirit Pig Experience", if the spirit pig does not eat for too long, it will be hungry, as long as it is hungry once, from then on, it will no longer grow. Each pigsty is planted with small line grass, outside the hillside is all over the mountains, this grass is the favorite of the spirit pig, the piglets only need to eat a little bit, and half a month later, the piglets grow to more than ten catties to go up the mountain to mow the grass, because at this time the growth rate of the grass in the pigsty is far from keeping up with the piglet's gnawing speed.

The reason why Tianjiu wanted to go to the hillside to mow the grass just now was because the small thread grass in the pigsty had already been eaten up by those spirit pigs that Old Man Mi took away.

The spirit pig is actually very easy to raise, as long as it is full of food and drink, don't rain insect bites. As long as they are not too lazy, the spirit pig can grow to twenty or thirty pounds.

After doing all this, Tianjiu dug up a dozen yams in the field, built a pile of firewood, and roasted the yams. After a while, the fragrance of roasted yams filled the valley, and Tianjiu sat on the ground and began to eat it.

Suddenly, a small thing jumped out of his broken backpack and let out two crisp "quacks" sounds.

"Huh, little frog, are you still in your bag? I forgot you, are you hungry?" asked Tianjiu as he gnawed.

The little frog nodded, staring at the yasca in Tianjiu's hand.

"Uh, aren't you eating dead bodies? Eat this too?"

The little frog nodded again, and licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue.

"Well, I won't give it to you. You've done me so badly, to raise pigs in this place where birds don't, and you want me to give you food? There are so many sweet potatoes in the field, you can just pull one and eat it yourself, and I will never stop you. Tianjiu ate and poured the roasted haode yakam to his feet.

The little frog shook his head vigorously and pointed to the roasted yams.

"Oh, you want to eat this roasted food? Oh, you're so funny, you see that I, a poor young man, have nothing to eat or drink here, no one to teach me to cultivate, and I don't know how to go back. You're still robbing me of food? I didn't roast you and eat it, so I'm worthy of you. Stay where you are cool, don't get in my way. Tian Jiu deliberately smacked his mouth and said in a loud voice.

The little frog held his head with his feet and lay pitifully on the ground, as if crying.

"Come less, come again! I won't give you food, unless you exchange something for it. We have taken out a copy of the Inner Soul Heart Sutra for everything we wanted, do you have it? If not, go to the side. ”

The little frog's body shook even more.

"Hmph, it's useless to cry. I swear that I will pluck the goose in the future, and I will never make a losing business. ”

The little frog slowly stopped and looked at Tianjiu aggrievedly. With a plop, he spit out a small bead the size of a grain of rice, which was dazzling.

"Huh, what is this? Is it a baby? Dead frog, you really have a baby? haha! laugh at me!" Tianjiu jumped up happily, he just deliberately teased the little frog to play, who knew that the little frog was really hiding something, although he didn't know what kind of treasure this was, but seeing the little frog's reluctant appearance, it was definitely not far off.

"Come, let me see, what other treasures are you hiding?" Tian Jiu picked up the little frog with his thumb and forefinger, brought it to his eyes, and looked at it carefully. He poked the white belly of the little frog with his finger, which was soft and soft, no different from an ordinary little frog, except that the two dark circles under his eyes were particularly dazzling and awkward.

"Hey, I didn't see anything, can you spit out some more or pull something out of the baby?"

The little frog puffed out its mouth and shook its limbs vigorously, as if protesting what Tianjiu had done.

"Okay, since you took out the things, I reluctantly exchanged them for you. Well, these few roasted yams are yours. Tianjiu threw the little frog on the ground and pushed a few yams to its side.

The little frog cooed and ate it.

Tianjiu studied the 'millet grain' while eating roasted yams, but he was always unable to do it. He decided to wait until the next time the little frog was hungry to tease him, and he might not know how to use it.

In this way, he looked at the little frog with eagerness, and the little frog's anthropomorphic expression almost completely understood every word of him. All of this made Tian Jiu feel that the little frog must be a spiritual creature, and it was not simple.

The little frog squinted at Tianjiu's eyes, hurriedly turned around, turned his back to Tianjiu, and ate again......

After filling his belly, Tianjiu went out of the house and carefully browsed the surrounding scenery.

All around, the towering peaks are tall and majestic, compared with the peaks seen on the earth, I don't know how many are higher; on the peaks, the giant trees are lush and green, reflecting most of the sky into dark green, leaving only a small piece of blue suspended at the top of the Lingzhu Valley; in the Lingzhu Valley, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and many unknown flowers and plants are competing to open; a small river is dotted with shadows among the flower clusters and bushes not far away, and from time to time there is a tinkling sound of flowing water; several small hills lie horizontally in the valley, and occasionally a few small animals like hares pop out of them, they look at Tianjiu, an alien monster that suddenly appeared, they were silent for a while, and swished, and disappeared on the edge of the small riverBirds with brilliant feathers chirp in the grass and trees, and flocks of wild cranes pass overhead from time to time, leaving behind the sound of empty and entwined songs......

I have to say that this is a very beautiful place, if it were on earth, maybe it could be called a fairyland on earth.

Tianjiu lay on the grass tiredly, although the sun was shining, his heart was gloomy.
