Chapter 80 Making things difficult
After eating in the dining hall of Xuri Peak, Shi Xuan returned to his cave and carefully read the information on the jade slips of good deeds. After all, if you want to live in the Penglai Sect, you still need to know some common sense of the sect.
This jade slip of good deeds is unique to each person. Shi Xuan has completely mastered it by imprinting his spiritual thoughts into the restriction center.
First of all, there is the issue of titles. Outer disciples are called senior brothers and sisters according to the order of their initiation. Those who are initiated at the same Dharma assembly are first classified according to their realm and then their age. No wonder Yu Ruoshui said that he has to call her Senior Sister Yu.
The outer sect disciples call the ordinary inner sect disciples as senior brothers and sisters, the true disciples as their uncles, and the Jindan masters and elders as their uncles. Ordinary inner sect disciples call true disciples the same as outer sect disciples.
Only true disciples, named disciples of the Jindan Grandmaster or elders among the inner disciples, and other inner disciples who have reached the divine soul stage are counted in the sect's inheritance. For example, Yu Linglong and Mo Yuan are the fifteenth generation. As for Yu Linglong and Mo Yuan, they have accepted named disciples, and Xie Fangwei and their generation of true disciples are considered the sixteenth generation, and their names will not change depending on the other's level of cultivation or status.
Those who have a mutual master-disciple relationship are called according to their own master-disciple relationship. If the relationship is close, both parties agree and do not need to be limited to names.
Secondly, there is the issue of dress. The outer disciples all wear black uniform robes, the outer disciples wear blue uniforms, and the inner disciples wear white uniforms. However, these are not mandatory requirements. They are only required to be worn when holding Dharma meetings, holding ceremonies, receiving distinguished guests, etc. There are no regulations on clothing for true disciples, elders, and leaders. In addition, newly recruited disciples in the Qi-entraining period among the outer disciples, who have made no faults in their one-month sect life, will enter the inner sect.
Again, the few real Yuanshen in those days, because they lived long enough and had enough disciples, based on the relationships of uncles, uncles, brothers, sisters, and nephews, passed down from generation to generation, formed some lines, and finally developed into There are four peaks: Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan and Yuheng. However, there are not many people, only a dozen people in each lineage. In addition, the longer the inheritance, the greater the alienation and the more generations, each mountain peak is now equivalent to a special hall.
Finally, there is an introduction to the peaks of the outer sect. Jiaomu Peak is the general service peak, where the task is taken over. There is also the Dragon and Tiger Intersection Building on top of it. Where the weapon is located, Shenshui Peak is the place for preaching, performances and competitions, Zhenshui Peak is the place where the outer sect's precious elixirs are grown, and Bishui Peak is the place where spiritual beasts are raised. The remaining twenty peaks are the residences of the outer sect disciples, but there are still six peaks that are empty and are only used to grow some elixirs.
In addition to the introduction of common sense, there is the introduction of tasks. The tasks assigned by the sect every month are mainly short-term tasks. Especially for disciples who have been in the school for less than a year, there will be no tasks that need to be carried out by the sect. These short-term tasks The main thing is to help them integrate into the sect, while leaving them enough time to practice, or do good deeds to exchange for elixirs, exercises, etc.
However, there are always exceptions. Among the tasks assigned by the sect, there are still five tasks that require a relatively long time to complete, at least ten days, or even close to a month. Therefore, the sect's precepts stipulate that as long as each disciple is assigned such a task once, he will not be allowed to have such a task again in the next month.
The five tasks are: guarding Yinfeng Cave for twenty days, with two days of rest in between; taking care of the medicine field for one month, with three days of rest in between; patrolling inside the gate, ten days; smelting refined iron, refined copper or other The material is thirty yuan, which basically takes more than twenty days. If you are slow, it may even take a month. However, this task is paid. In the end, you can get five yuan of the smelted material, which can be converted into good deeds. One stroke; Fire-Watching Boy, one month, there will be a reward of elixir or magic weapon after completion.
The jade slips of good deeds also have the important function of storing good deeds, but the sect prohibits disciples from giving good deeds to each other, and they must go through good deeds tasks to obtain good deeds.
When Shi Xuan was reading the jade slips, someone happened to be visiting outside. Qing Song, the handyman, reported to Shi Xuan that they were two monks and another female monk from the adjacent palace. Shi Xuan stood up and went to open the door, and at the same time told his maid Qinglian to make tea.
The two monks who came were Qi Guanyu, who ranked third in the out-of-body stage, Miao Daiyun, who ranked last in the nineteen-year-old stage, and Shen Hongwen, who ranked second in the Qi-nourishing stage.
Qi Guanyu is tall and rough-looking. He is thirty-five years old and has been in the out-of-body stage for seventeen years. Miao Daiyun is twenty-six years old, enchanting, extremely charming, and has entered the out-of-body period for five years.
Shen Hongwen only started practicing Taoism when he was twenty years old. He is twenty-eight years old this year and can be considered a late bloomer. He dresses like a scholar and has an upright look on his face.
Seeing Shi Xuan coming to open the door, the three of them saluted Shi Xuan with smiles on their faces, and then Qi Guanyu stepped forward and said, "We all live in Xiangyang Peak, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so we took the liberty to come to visit. Please don’t mind, Junior Brother Shi. This is Junior Sister Miao Dai Yunmiao from Xinyue Peak. You admire Junior Brother Shi very much, so you beg to come with us.”
Shi Xuan responded with a smile: "Where is it? Senior Brother Qi, Senior Sister Miao, and Junior Brother Shen can come to Shi. It's really brilliant. Please sit inside."
Inviting the three of them into the hall, as soon as they sat down, Qinglian made tea and brought it to them.
Shi Xuan chatted casually with the three of them, while secretly sizing up the three of them. Qi Guanyu was very generous and righteous in his words, while Miao Daiyun was flirtatious, with a strong sense of temptation in every word and smile. Shen Hongwen He behaves like a gentleman and always speaks great truths.
After talking for a while, Miao Daiyun first looked at Shi Xuan charmingly, and then mentioned it in a nonchalant manner: "Speaking of which, during the Dharma gathering, Uncle Mo took great care of Senior Brother Shi."
Shi Xuan suddenly realized that these three people really thought that Mo Yuan had a close relationship with him, so they were not afraid of Meng Yuchang's revenge and had a good relationship with him before other people who were watching. He thought so in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm: "That's how Uncle Mo is fair and strict. This is the image of our Penglai sect."
Miao Daiyun despised Shi Xuan in her heart and said clichés, but she did not give up. She walked to the position next to Shi Xuan with the tea cup. Although she was not next to Shi Xuan, she spread the sweet fragrance from her body and continued at the same time. Jiao said angrily: "I don't see Uncle Mo doing that to other disciples."
Naturally, Shi Xuan still gave him a lot of empty talk and nonsense. Even if Qi Guanyu, Miao Daiyun, and Shen Hongwen took turns to fight, they would never let go. Who knows why Mo Yuan helped him? If publicizing this angered him, it would be a disaster.
In the end, the three of them had no choice but to leave angrily. Qi Guanyu patted her chest at the door and said to Shi Xuan: "Your junior brother Shi and I, Qi Guanyu, hit it off as old friends. We are brothers. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask. As a senior brother, I will definitely respond to your requests."
Miao Daiyun also said coquettishly: "Junior Brother Shi, we will have to get closer in the future."
"Senior Brother Shi, if you have any instructions, just ask me, Shen Hongwen." Shen Hongwen spoke uprightly.
After bidding farewell to the three of them, Shi Xuan told Qingsong, Qingzhu, Qinglian and Rose not to disturb him after cleaning up the hall, and then went back to his room to practice.
A month passed in a blink of an eye. Ming Qingyue and other Qi-entraining stage disciples had also entered the inner gate a few days ago, and then a sensational news spread. She was spotted by Yu Linglong on the same day and was accepted as a disciple. As long as she reached the Soul stage, , it is logical that he is a true disciple. Shi Xuan could only secretly smile bitterly. He was reluctant to call her senior sister at first, but now he has to call him uncle.
At the same time, Jie Wei also officially became Yu Linglong's registered disciple and entered the inner sect. Yu Linglong also said that as long as she breaks through to the Qi-entraining stage, she can become her disciple.
Don't think that Yu Linglong has many disciples just because she accepted two disciples at one time. In fact, before that, she only had one disciple - Leng Rumei, one of the true disciples. She is called the Snow Fairy by many disciples and practices Taoism. It has been more than fifty years since I reached the Soul Stage, and I am now in retreat. It is said that after I leave the retreat, my Soul will be complete, and then I will go out to look for opportunities to become an elixir.
During this month, Qi Guanyu and others visited frequently at first, but as Mo Yuan ignored Shi Xuan, their visits became less and less. At the same time, Shi Xuan also felt the indifference of other disciples. I think I judged the situation and made a choice.
However, as Ming Qingyue, who often visited Shi Xuan during this period, was accepted as a disciple by Yu Linglong, the attitude of those disciples towards Shi Xuan greatly improved, which really allowed Shi Xuan to see what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships.
Fortunately, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan's attitude towards Shi Xuan has remained the same and has not changed, which makes Shi Xuan quite pleased. As for Zhang Haiping, although it cannot be said that his attitude has changed drastically, there is some gradual indifference. After all, Zhang Haiping has always been towards Shi Xuan. There is a knot in the heart.
In addition, Shi Xuan successfully refined the Cold Wind Sword, Wild Wind Sword, Whirlwind Sword, and Hurricane Sword among the Six Swords of Cutting the Wind. Only the last two swords, the Yin Wind Sword and the Heart Wind Sword, have not yet understood their secrets. The first four swords of "Six Swords of Zhanfeng" are only average and can be called first-rate or second-rate. The reason is mostly due to the last two swordsmanships, and the word "Zhan" for Zhanfeng also falls on these last two swords. superior. Therefore, Shi Xuan is not in a hurry and just practices more every day.
Another major event is that those disciples who acted as cover-ups at the Dharma gathering were expelled from the sect, including Wang Yuan. However, the inner disciple Qin Yu was judged to have inappropriate questions and was only fined to face the wall for two years.
This day is the first day of every month, the day when the sect assigns tasks. Shi Xuan and all the outer disciples came to the Shanggong Room to wait for the arrangements of the outer sect deacon.
Because Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan wanted to stand with other female monks who had made good friends, there was no one around Shi Xuan. There was no other disciple. Those people stood far away, for fear of getting involved with Shi Xuan.
Is it true that as Yu Ruoshui and the others discovered, Ye Xiangan, the deacon in charge of assigning tasks, has a close relationship with Meng Yuchang, or that Ye Xiangan has a close relationship with Meng Yuchang's follower Ma Yuanjing.
As tasks were assigned one by one, it was finally Shi Xuan's turn. Ye Xiangan was a short, middle-aged man with a short beard. He looked at Shi Xuan with a half-smile, his eyes full of ridicule and contempt. Shi Xuan's heart sank slightly. Then he saw him say: "Shi Xuan, responsible for guarding Yinfeng Cave."
It was something that was expected, but Shi Xuan still felt angry. However, this was an arrangement within the sect's rules, and the noisy words just suited their wishes.
Shi Xuan stood silently in the corner, restraining his emotions, and suddenly heard Ye Xiangan's slightly mocking voice: "Yu Ruoshui, guard the Yinfeng Cave."
"Zhou Dielan, take care of Zhenshui Peak Medicine Field."
Furious, Shi Xuan clenched his hands tightly, causing harm to his friend! Meng Yuchang, Ye Xiangan, this debt will be recovered one day!
————Under pressure, I actually reached a thousand words per hour.
