Chapter 5: The Valley of the Wasteful
After Qin Tian and others followed Wang Lin out of the valley, they walked for several miles, winding around several peaks before arriving at a rather noisy valley.
I saw rows of dilapidated wooden houses in the valley, and the strong wind blew from nowhere. When the wind blew into the valley, it made a whimpering sound, like a ghost crying and howling horrifyingly.
Such a scene is completely different from the Flower Fragrance Valley just now!
When Qin Tian saw this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Wang Lin turned around and said with a sneer:
"This place is the famous "Dongtian Blessed Land" in the Qianyuan Sect. You can practice well here. If you annoy Senior Brother Cao, you will suffer in the future!"
After saying this, Wang Lin turned around with a look of ridicule on his face and strode away.
Zeng Aniu, who had followed him here, saw this and was quite angry but dared not speak out. He could only secretly be angry.
At this moment, Qin Tian's expression suddenly darkened, and he had obviously realized that this so-called "Dongtian Paradise" was not simple.
"Cultivation! If my cultivation is strong enough, Wang Lin'an dares to bully me like this, and I still have status. If my status is high enough, like Wu Xun, with a master in charge, how can Cao Xu be so arrogant!"
Thinking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help clenching his fists.
In his heart, he has never been so eager for strength.
After stopping for a while, Qin Tian gradually calmed down, then turned around and said apologetically to Zeng Aniu:
"Brother Zeng, it's me who has caused trouble for you!"
Hearing this, Zeng Aniu scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Brother Qin, whatever you say, I don't like that group of people. Anyway, they are all here now. We can stay here for the time being. As long as we don't starve to death!"
Qin Tian couldn't help but look slightly relieved after hearing this, and he was secretly sighing in his heart.
After all, since entering the Immortal Sect, I have witnessed the cold-bloodedness and intrigues of the monks. Only Zeng Aniu has a rare and simple nature.
In the following time, the two stopped and watched for a moment, then walked straight into the valley.
Not long after entering the valley, I heard constant noises.
In the dilapidated wooden house, some people gathered together to drink, have fun, and talk loudly. Some people gathered around the square table, rolling dice and gambling.
There is also a gray-haired old man sitting in front of the window with dull eyes, as if quietly waiting for death, and his expression is extremely miserable.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
Just at this moment, a joking voice came:
"Hey, there's a new person checking in!"
As the words fell, the noisy sound in the entire valley gradually became quiet.
Many doors opened quickly, and in a moment hundreds of people walked out, surrounding Qin Tian and pointing.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian did not panic. Instead, he cupped his fists and saluted with a humble expression:
"My Qin Tian is here for the first time and has met all the senior brothers. If there is anything wrong with me in the future, I hope that all the senior brothers will give you some advice."
Everyone's eyes became even weirder when they heard this, and they all looked up and down around Qin Tian.
Just at this moment, another rough voice came out:
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
I saw a man in his forties with a beard on his face, looking at him with confusion.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian quickly spoke truthfully:
"I am a new disciple who has been arranged to live here."
When the bearded man heard this, his face was filled with disbelief:
"New starter? This is where new starters come?"
The spectators on the side immediately started talking:
"Yeah, I guess he was taken advantage of."
"These two boys are so unlucky...!"
"It's really a rare thing to come here when you just started!"
............
As the buzzing voices reached his ears, Qin Tian's feeling of uneasiness became stronger. .
Obviously, Cao Xu's arrangement is not simple.
At this moment, another tall, thin middle-aged man spoke up and advised:
"Boy, I would like to give you a kind advice. Since you are a new disciple, you should not be registered yet. Go down the mountain quickly. It is not too late to leave now."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian looked at the middle-aged man and asked with a little doubt:
"What does this senior brother mean by this? I finally joined the sect with great difficulty, why do you want to leave now?"
"Hehe! Boy, it's for your own good to let you go, so that you don't waste your life here in vain."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement.
"Yes, kid, seeing as you are young, there is really no need to waste your good time here."
"Go down the mountain early. Won't you be free and happy by marrying a few young ladies? Don't be like me who have lived for most of your life and are still stuck here clinging to the body of Yuanyang, hahaha!"
As soon as this statement came out, it caused another round of profanity and laughter.
Qin Tian couldn't help but frown when he saw this. He immediately bowed his hands again and asked the tall and thin middle-aged man:
"Please ask my senior brother to clarify my doubts."
The tall and thin man couldn't help but look solemn when he heard this, and suddenly asked in a solemn tone:
"Boy, have you honestly offended someone?"
Qin Tian didn't hide anything after hearing this:
"I have some disagreements with the person responsible for arranging new disciples."
The tall, thin middle-aged man suddenly sighed slightly:
"That's right. Do you know where this place is?"
Qin Tian couldn't help but be puzzled:
"Isn't this place one of the valleys where outer disciples live?"
After hearing this, the tall, thin middle-aged man sneered and said:
"It's a residential valley, yes, but this valley also has a name."
Qin Tian looked firm and said with twinkling eyes:
"Senior brother, it's okay to say it!"
The tall, thin middle-aged man shook his head and laughed at himself:
"The disciples in the sect here call it -----The Valley of the Wasted Man!"
"Valley of the Wasted Man"
When Qin Tian heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
After all, the name doesn't sound like a good place.
Sure enough, the skinny middle-aged man opposite explained in a deep voice:
"This valley originally had no name. It was chosen as a place of exile by the sect because of its harsh environment and thin spiritual energy.
Due to the restrictions of the sect rules, those who have not reached the sixth level of Qi training are not allowed to go down the mountain to practice privately. However, those disciples with low qualifications who have failed to break through to the sixth level of Qi training after decades of practice are exiled here by the sect. Let it go on its own, no longer care. "
Hearing this, Qin Tian understood. He quickly raised his head and glanced around with a wry smile on his face. Sure enough, he found that everyone present was quite old.
At this time, the middle-aged Qiu Xu continued with helplessness on his face:
"As the development progressed, some of the outer disciples in the sect accidentally made mistakes or offended the sect's senior officials, and they would be arranged here. And due to the limited environment here, it is even more difficult to advance in cultivation. .
As for the bounty missions, most of them are extremely dangerous for disciples below the sixth level of Qi Refining! As time went on and they were trapped here, everyone gave up their intention to practice. As time went by, this place was jokingly called the "Valley of the Wasted Man" by the disciples of the sect. "
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't help but feel angry. He didn't expect that there was such intrigue within the sect.
"You are also unlucky. I have been waiting here for many years, and this is the first time I have seen a new disciple being arranged here. Please tell me who you offended, so that everyone can help you as a reference."
At this time, there was another person in the crowd who smelled of alcohol and had a wine bottle in his hand and asked curiously.
"That man calls himself Cao Xu, but I don't know where he comes from."
Qin Tian said with a slight chill.
"Cao Xu? You actually offended someone from the Cao family?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a burst of discussion:
"Be careful after this, kid, and try not to leave the valley if nothing happens!"
"Everyone in the Cao family will retaliate, and we can't afford to offend him!"
"You boy are really unlucky!"
.............
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian's heart couldn't help but sink slightly. But he was still curious and asked:
"I dare to ask you fellow seniors, where is Cao Xu?"
When the middle-aged Qiuxu heard this, he immediately explained with a solemn expression:
"Cao Xu is a member of the Cao family in Wuyin Peak, and the ancestor of the Cao family is Master Yunze, one of the four golden elixir masters of the Qianyuan Sect. Where do you think this Cao Xu comes from!"
Qin Tian was only solemn at first, but when he heard the name of the Cao family in Wuyin Peak, he was suddenly shocked.
Probably because according to what old man Xuan Lie said, he was killed by the Cao family of Wuyin Peak back then.
At the moment, it seems that the Cao family is really not a good thing.
From now on, the Qianyuan Sect must be extremely cautious in everything they do!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian's expression couldn't help but become uncertain.
Seeing this, everyone in the field knew that he must be in a very agitated mood at the moment, so no one made a sound to disturb him.
As time passed, the crowd slowly dispersed.
It was still the same as before, drinking when it was time to drink, rolling dice when it was time to roll the dice, and bursts of noise echoed through the valley again.
Zeng Aniu on the side was optimistic, and he was a little embarrassed to be surrounded by people just now, so he never said anything.
After a long time, Qin Tian raised his head slightly and looked around the valley. When he saw that everyone had returned to their depraved state, his brows wrinkled at first, and then quickly relaxed.
Once you have come, make peace with it. After finally embarking on the path to immortality, how can you give up so easily!
Thinking of the hardships of wandering here, the expectant eyes of his parents in his hometown, and his heroic words when he left, Qin Tian secretly made up his mind, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.
In the following time, the two walked around and came to a row of uninhabited dilapidated cabins, and each chose one as a place to live.
There were cracks on the door of the wooden house, and the door beams were covered with cobwebs. It had obviously been uninhabited for a long time.
Seeing this, Qin Tian stretched out his hand and pushed gently.
With a "clang" sound, the wooden door fell down, sending up a burst of dust.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but frown. When the dust cleared, he slowly walked in.
I saw that the house was not big, with only a table, a chair and a bed. The floor was covered with a thick layer of dust. The wooden walls of the house were in dilapidated condition. They were crumbling under the strong wind coming from the valley entrance, making an overwhelming "creep". "Voice.
Such a scene makes people wonder whether they would be buried alive by the collapse of the house if they slept until midnight.
And this is where he ends up in the Qianyuan Sect.
I'm afraid old man Hu Lie didn't expect that he, who was considered to be a talent, would experience such a dramatic turn and be thrown into the "Valley of Wasted People"!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself:
"This environment is really simple!"
After pondering for a while, Qin Tian immediately started to sort it out.
After living in a small fishing village for fifteen years, most of the fishermen's fishing boats were built by themselves, so Qin Tian naturally knew a little about carpentry skills.
After a lot of cleaning and repairing the wooden house, it was already dark by the time it was completed.
Because so many things happened today, it can be said that there were many twists and turns, and Qin Tian's mentality was up and down. He was already exhausted physically and mentally, so he fell asleep soon after falling on the bed.
