Ye Chen stayed in the fire house for several days and gradually got used to the environment here. He rested at night and had nothing to do during the day. At first, he was a little confused as to why the fire house was so leisurely. Later, he learned about it during the chat.
This is a high-level fire room that specifically serves the elders and protectors of the sect. These elders and protectors are usually in retreat for ten and a half months, and some even last for several months or a month. They have them for two years, and there are very few opportunities to cook, so they have little to do and are on standby most of the time.
Of course, those in the low-level fire houses do not receive such good treatment, because they serve ordinary disciples. Not only are there a large number of ordinary disciples, but they also eat three meals a day regularly, because ordinary disciples will not retreat for a long time, so The fire room must prepare meals for them every day, so of course there will be no leisure time.
When Ye Chen was bored, suddenly the excited voices of his brothers and sisters came from the fire room outside.
"Close the door-...close the door...Huang Datou...go and close the door." I
"Hu Xiaobo went around to see if anyone was there."
Ye Chen was stunned and looked out the window, only to see a few nimble fat people walking swiftly in the yard, mysterious and busy.
Soon the door to the fire room was tightly closed. Ye Chen walked over and looked at it for a long time until a few fat guys stopped running around in the yard and entered the fire room.
Out of curiosity, Ye Chen wanted to know what the people were doing, so he sneaked over. He was a little far away and couldn't hear clearly what the people were saying. It was mysterious?
Ye Chen listened for a while and felt that since it was so secretive, it was better not to know. He was about to retreat, but he didn't expect to make a noise accidentally.
Several people in the fire room heard the sound and looked over. When they found out it was Ye Chen, they were stunned for a moment. Then Hu Xiaobo stood up and walked over, smiling and shouting at Ye Chen. "Junior brother came just in time. I was just about to call over, but you came unexpectedly. Come in quickly."
The voice was not too loud. It was obvious that Hu Xiaobo lowered his voice deliberately. Ye Chen blinked and walked in with a well-behaved look on his face, as if he was harmless to humans or animals.
As soon as he got close to Ye Chen, he smelled an unusual smell. After inhaling his nostrils, it turned into countless warm currents and integrated into his whole body.
Looking at the other people, they also looked like they were enjoying themselves. Ye Chen was shocked. When he looked carefully, he saw a large pot of meat stewed in the iron pot on the stove, although he didn't know what kind of meat it was.
But Ye Chen can be sure that this meat is definitely not ordinary.
Huang Datou looked at Ye Chen, quickly pulled him to sit next to him, and said with a smile. "Junior brother, you came just in time, let's try how it tastes."
Ye Chen looked at the few people and laughed, and immediately understood in his heart that these senior brothers wanted to join in the evil. He did not dare to hesitate, so he had to bite the bullet and took a bite. The meat tasted good and was very chewy. After swallowing it, , a feeling of comfort spread throughout his body, making Ye Chen couldn't help but want to moan.
"Okay, after eating this meat, my junior brother will be one of my own from now on." Zhang Xiaohua looked satisfied and took a large piece of meat and started eating.
Ye Chen watched several people eating happily, but felt that something was missing. After a while, he realized that there was only meat but no wine. He remembered that he had not drank for a long time, so he took out the wine given by Long Yunfeng and said. "Senior brother, senior sister, if you invite me to eat meat, I will invite my brothers and sisters to drink. Let's all taste my wine and see how it tastes."
"Good wine, really good wine." Hu Xiaobo took a sip and couldn't help but praise it.
After Ye Chen got along with a few people, he became more relaxed and asked proactively. "Brother, I want to practice martial arts. Do you have any? I can exchange with you."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Ye Chen and said. "Junior brother, what kind of martial arts are you practicing? We have good food and good accommodation here, and no one dares to come to us to trouble us. We are so happy and carefree. Why do we have to suffer the pain?"
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, thinking that all the food you eat is stolen, and the place you live in is a thatched hut. Apart from not having to work and living a relatively free life, there is nothing to boast about. You can only eat and wait to die. There is nothing. The future is promising.
Ye Chen still wanted to conquer the world and protect his master. Such negative thoughts were absolutely unacceptable, so he had to bite the bullet and say it again. "Senior sister is right, but I still want to learn, even if it's just one and a half moves, I would like to ask senior sister for advice."
Huang Datou said looking at Ye Chen's unwillingness to give up. "Since junior brother wants to learn, it's a good thing. The people in our high-level fire room are also considered outer disciples. Junior brother can go to the Sutra Library to borrow a martial arts book for free and come back to practice. As long as it is returned within a month."
"Thank you for your explanation, senior brother. I'll invite some brothers and sisters to drink some other day to express my feelings. By the way, senior brother, what kind of monster meat is this? Tell me so that I can prepare in advance." Ye Chen said happily after hearing this. .
Hu Xiaobo took a sip of wine and said mysteriously. "Junior brother, you are wrong. This meat is just ordinary dog meat. There is nothing to prepare."
"Ah, senior brother, are you kidding me? What we eat is just ordinary dog meat. How come it emits a huge amount of spiritual energy when we eat it in our stomachs?" Ye Chen said with some disbelief after hearing this.
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't believe it, several people laughed loudly, and then said. "This is because thousand-year-old wild ginseng is added, and it has nothing to do with the meat. So, junior brother, don't think about treating us. We can just hide some secretly until an elder wants to eat it next time."
Ye Chen said worriedly after hearing this. "Senior brother, this is not good. What if we are discovered?"
After several people listened, they laughed again, and Hu Xiaobo said proudly. "I'm happy today, little junior brother. Let me tell you something. We are very particular about what we eat in the fire house. We eat leftovers for elixirs. Don't touch the main plant. Cut the meat with a ruthless knife. Remove the bones and leave a third of the rice. We need more rice for the elixir. Mix it with water, little junior brother, do you remember it?"
Zhang Xiaohua and Huang Datou also said proudly. "These are some mantras that we have summarized over the years. As long as you eat according to these, nothing will happen to you. Okay, that's it. Let's get over it tonight."
Ye Chen left here in a daze, slowly returned to the house, fell directly on the bed, and fell asleep.
This sweet sleep was extraordinary. Ye Chen got up from the bed, washed himself, got dressed, then walked out of the fire room and walked towards the Sutra Pavilion.
The Sutra Pavilion is located halfway up the mountain, in a green area.
There were crowds of people at the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion. Some were coming out from the Sutra Pavilion after selecting secret books, and some were about to go to the Sutra Pavilion to borrow them.
Ye Cheng took a look with some excitement. There were some majestic and huge Buddhist scripture pavilions there. As he was about to walk in, a cold voice came from in front of him.
"Stop, that wild boy from there actually dares to break into the Sutra Pavilion."
Ye Chen was slightly startled. He stopped and looked up. Three people appeared directly in front of them. They didn't look like good people at first glance. They were probably looking for trouble.
The leader, a sinister young man, was staring at Ye Chen and said with a gloomy look on his brows. "You're a handyman disciple, what are you doing here? Maybe you want to steal something. Hand over what you have on you and let me check it out."
"I don't have time to talk to you here," Ye Chen said rudely with cold eyes. "There are still good dogs out of the way. Get out of my way now. I don't have to argue with you."
Zhang Chuan and the others were immediately furious after hearing Ye Chen's words. The two followers were even more angry and were about to step forward to teach Ye Chen a lesson, but were stopped by Zhang Chuan.
Zhang Chuan took a deep breath and said with a slight smile. "I really didn't expect that a handyman disciple who is like an ant would dare to speak rudely to me."
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Chuan and the others and sneered. "Why should I give my things to you? Who do you think I am?"
"Originally I just wanted a few spirit stones and that was it, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful and stubborn, so don't blame me for being cruel." Zhang Chuan looked at Ye Chen jokingly, with a cruel look on his face. smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chuan's body moved and he took a step forward, his hands suddenly turning into claws.
"Brother Chuan, kill this bumpkin who doesn't know the heights of the sky." Two of Zhang Chuan's followers shouted from the side.
Ye Chen frowned and snorted coldly. "Since you are seeking death, I will give you a ride."
brush
The sword has been unsheathed.
"You are looking for death. If you dare to draw a sword, I will destroy you." Zhang Chuan was furious when he saw that Ye Chen not only did not beg for mercy, but dared to draw a sword against him.
With a roar, he grabbed out a claw and displayed it with great force. The wind suddenly rose, and a spiritual claw mark rushed towards Ye Chen with shocking power.
"Hmph, if you want to rob me, you have to pay the price." Just when Zhang Chuan's paw prints hit, Ye Chen said with a cold snort. "Swordsmanship."
Suddenly, the long sword in his hand flashed with white light and shot out, shooting towards Zhang Chuan like a meteor.
boom
The long sword shattered the claw marks in the air and hit Zhang Chuan directly on the shoulder, sending Zhang Chuan flying out and nailing him to the ground.
"Ah..." Zhang Chuan screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face was extremely pale.
When Zhang Chuan's two followers saw this, they were stunned for a moment, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they looked at Ye Chen stupidly.
I saw that Ye Chen was wearing the clothes of a fire house. He was obviously a low-level handyman. How could he have such a high level of cultivation? Why hadn't he seen it before? Could it be that some genius was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and deliberately harmed them.
Ye Chen didn't care what the others thought, but stepped forward and pulled out the long sword from Zhang Chuan's body, put it in its sheath, and walked directly into the Scripture Collection Pavilion.
"Bastard, bastard, this despicable and shameless scum, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and sneaking up on me, is not a hero at all. I will take revenge for this." Seeing Ye Chen leave, Zhang Chuan stood up with a curse.
The two little followers were awakened by Zhang Chuan's cursing voice, hurried to Zhang Chuan's side, and spoke cautiously. "Brother Chuan seems to have a lower level of cultivation than you, but he is better than you. It seems weird at first glance. In my opinion, we should go back to find Senior Brother Zhang Shan to take action and avenge us."
