Last time, it was said that Bai Zhongyu brought Zichou back to the sect and handed him over to the "outer deacon". The "deacon" was shocked when he went through the naturalization procedures for Zichou.
"Haha, you're welcome, little brother. Since the verification is correct and the inner sect Elder Bai guarantees it, of course you can become a naturalized member of our sect." Deacon Ye said with a smile.
"Thank you 'Master Ye' for your love! I am deeply grateful for Master Xian's kindness in reincarnating me!" - "Wait a minute! Just call me 'Uncle Ye' from now on."
"Uncle Ye? This..." - "Hey, remember, your cultivation level is one level lower than mine, so naturally you have to call me 'Uncle Master'? Hehe."
"Oh, thank you 'Uncle Ye' for reminding me, villain..." - "Stop it! You are not allowed to call yourself a 'villain' in the future, you must call yourself a 'nephew' or a 'junior'."
"Oh? 'Nephew'? 'Junior'? Dare I ask if this is important?" Zichou had just arrived. He originally wanted to follow the local customs, but there was no reference point to follow.
"When you join the sect, you become a family, and of course you have to talk about backup." Deacon Ye said with a smile: "But if you fail to be among the top 100 in the 'entry examination' three years later, you will still have to get out! "After saying that, there was a strange look behind him: "But with your relationship with Elder Bai, you can apply to stay..."
"Oh? Uncle Master, what do you mean...?" Zi Chou frowned slightly when he heard this: "Could it be that if you want to stay and become an outer disciple, you have to rely on connections to go through the back door?"
"No! The sect stipulates that each person has two opportunities to apply. If he fails to pass the examination, he will be persuaded to retire, return home, return to secular life, marry a wife and have children."
"Two opportunities to apply? Doesn't that mean we have to wait until after our thirties? This..." Zi Chou looked embarrassed, because he thought about having to be with a woman in the future...
"Haha, these are the rules of the sect and they will remain unchanged for thousands of years!" Deacon Ye said with a smile: "Without mentioning those things, let me first tell you what your boy's specialties are? It's easy to arrange tasks!"
"What are your specialties? Arranging tasks? This..." Zi Chou was shocked. After all, since he was a child, he could do nothing except eating, playing and reading.
Seeing that he looked embarrassed, Deacon Ye immediately made a guess and said with a smile, "You don't look like a playboy, how can you be so good at nothing?"
"Uh...Uncle Rongzhen, I don't know how to do anything but eat, drink, play and sleep with you!" Seeing the unkind look in the other person's eyes, he quickly shrank his head.
"Hmph! So you're a loser? You're of no use at all!" Deacon Ye was furious: "What's the point of keeping you? It's just a laughing stock! Get out!"
"No, no, no, no!" Zi Chou saw that the situation was not going well and quickly knelt down: "This junior also has another skill. I didn't have time to say it just now. Please, uncle..."
"If you have something to say, say it! If you have something to say, let it go! I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense!" --- "You villain, oh no, this junior... can have a photographic memory!"
"Do you have a photographic memory? Do you have such an ability?" Deacon Ye seemed to find it strange: "You kid can really grasp ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory? Try it first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Deacon Ye pushed a stack of account books on the counter over and said with a malicious smile: "Boy, did you say this yourself?"
"Thank you, Uncle Master." The young man Zi Chou bowed his hands in a mature manner, then opened the stack of account books that were about a foot thick and recorded the names, genders, ages, place of origin, and dates of employment of thousands of outer sect disciples. , type of task, amount of contribution, and state of practice should be remembered.
Seeing this short guy turning the pages quickly, Deacon Ye clapped his hands maliciously on his face, and then several men, women, and children walked out of the other rooms of the "Outer Deacon Hall" and said: : "In a moment, you will take turns testing his memory?"
"Disciple, please obey your uncle's instructions!" After everyone bowed and saluted, they noticed that there was a pile of account books not far away that had been half-read.
About a quarter of an hour later, when Zichou closed his eyes and closed the last account book, he couldn't help but said eagerly: "Uncle Ye, this junior has finished checking."
"What? So fast? Real or fake?" Deacon Ye asked in surprise: "You, you, you, and you, can you randomly pick out a few account books to test him?"
"Uh... Uncle Master, just in case..." - "There is no such thing as a chance! If he answers a wrong number, let him get out immediately, the sect does not raise idle people!"
"Yes! Boy, I'm offended! Haha/giggle/haha/quack/hehe..." Everyone drew lots to decide who would go up to "abuse" him first.
However, what surprised everyone was that no matter when they asked rhetorical questions, Zichou could always answer them fluently, but in the end he made them feel ashamed!
After all, these guys who have been working in the "Outer Sect Deacon Hall" for many years don't actually have to compete every ten years like the "Kuhaha" who compete for the qualifications of the "Inner Sect Disciple". Instead, they only need to take the first assessment. If you pass, you can stay employed for life and work until you no longer want to do it!
Therefore, many "outer deacons" including their assistants work for a lifetime. When they have accumulated enough spiritual stones, they apply to leave the sect, return to secular life, go home, marry a wife and have children, establish a family, and wait until there are "human spirits" among their descendants. Only those "geniuses" who have "roots" or even "earth spiritual roots" can enter the inner gate.
Although Zichou knew nothing about this at first, it did not mean that he was a fool. On the contrary, after quickly browsing these account books, he suddenly had a plan in his mind, which was to take on the least tasks and earn the most spiritual stones. Of course, the account books also involve "sect contribution points", which is so important!
The reason why "Sect Contribution Points" are important is that they can not only be used to exchange for "Kung Fu Techniques", "Secret Techniques", "Magical Weapons", "talismans", "Elixirs", and "Spiritual Beasts", but also It can be used to apply for retreat in the "Ancestral Master Hall", and even invite elders to protect the Dharma when you advance to fight against the thunder calamity!
This was simply unbelievable, and made Zichou, who had no idea about it, his heart beat wildly, and he couldn't help but weakly said: "Uncle Master, what is my mission?"
"You still need to ask? Of course you will be my 'first assistant'!" Uncle Ye laughed heartily: "The accounts handed over by all of them will be reviewed by you first. After verification, they will be reported to me. I will then Report it to the 'Inner Gate Deacon Hall', and the task will only be completed if the accounts are reconciled, do you understand?"
"Junior understands!" Seeing the other party's sly smile, Zi Chou summoned up the courage to ask loudly: "Dare I ask my uncle, what is the contribution of this junior? Monthly salary..."
"Haha, that's easy to say. Since Uncle Bai, the 'Inner Sect Elder', personally recommended it, then I, Ye, can't help but give me face." Executive Ye thought about it:
"Well, let's calculate it based on 'basic salary + subsidy'. The basic salary is 10 spiritual stones, three bigu pills, two powerful pills, one Qi training pill, plus one sect contribution point per month. Of course, if you If you can complete the tasks of all of them, then it’s not a bad idea if I give you three times the salary?”
"What? This...is this impossible?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. After all, there were more than a thousand outer sect disciples on the surface. In fact, those who had voluntarily left the sect and returned home were even more numerous. several thousand? There are more than ten thousand! Even the welcome and delivery still need some preparation!
As a result, just a few of them are not enough. If they want to complete the reconciliation with the "Inner Gate Deacon Hall" in time, I am afraid that the number of people will have to be increased ten times!
Therefore, no matter how much this new kid can "see ten lines in one glance and have a photographic memory", it is impossible to compare one to ten, so three times the salary is still too little!
However, Uncle Ye can also take care of this. After all, as an "outer deacon", he can change the rules at will within the scope of his authority.
In fact, in addition to the "Deacon Hall", the outer gate also has many "entrances", such as the "Alchemy Hall", "Weapon Refining Hall", "Talk Making Hall", "Law Enforcement Hall", "Lingzhi Hall", "Immortal Brewing Hall", "Spiritual Beast Hall", "Auction Hall", "Array Formation Hall", "Martial Arts Hall", "Waimenfang City" and other "deacons" may be in charge.
Compared with the "outer gate", the "inner gate" has basically added the "Yingbin Pavilion", "Sutra Collection Pavilion", "Hun Leng Pavilion", "Treasure Pavilion", "Discipline Academy", "Elder's Pavilion" "Yuan", "Deacon Hall", "Meeting Hall", "Xuanbang Release Hall", "Dangerous Forbidden Area", "Specialized Cave", etc., are of a higher level than the outer gate.
This was originally known to everyone, but because Yin Chou had just arrived, he didn't know what was going on, and the monthly salary given to him by "Uncle Ye" was in a "storage bag" that could not be opened. After all, he had not yet achieved the "induction of qi" "Enter the body", the "cyclone" has not yet been generated in the Dantian acupoint, so the magic power cannot be released, so we have to worry.
However, the sect has already had countermeasures for his situation, which is to distribute a "Sect Manual" to each person, which briefly describes the general situation of the cultivation world, the origin of the sect, the rewards and punishment regulations for "outside disciples", etc. Focus on explaining how mortals with "spiritual root qualifications" should "introduce Qi into the body"?
This is great for Zichou at this stage, and it is just right to describe it as "helping him in times of need". So, he said goodbye to Master Ye and went back to the "temporary cave" specially arranged by the sect for the outer disciples to rest. After all, he had been frightened for many days and his nerves had collapsed!
It is said to be a "temporary cave", but it is actually just a row of tall and rough stone houses, each about five feet high, two feet wide and three feet long. There is also a small yard outside with some unknown flowers and plants. Each stone house has only one stone bed, one stone table, and two futons.
Apart from a heavy stone door, this kind of stone house doesn't even have a window, let alone dishes and kitchen utensils, but there are thousands of them in total!
Some stone houses have been unoccupied all year round. Not only are they covered with thick moss, but even the flowers and plants in the courtyard at the door have grown into towering ancient trees!
However, after visual inspection, Zichou discovered that most of the stone houses circled together within a radius of ten miles were uninhabited!
"This new junior brother, do you need help to open the 'storage bag' for you? The price is cheap, only two/one spiritual stone is enough..."
Just when Zichou had just received the "storage bag" from Master Ye and was looking for the "Stone House" according to the "waist tag" issued by Master Ye and the house number, the few men, women, old and children who were still assessing him, They all swarmed up from behind and showed their hospitality in unison, as if they would not give up until they achieved their goal.
