Liu Qingyi looked at the group of disciples in green clothes with envy, and then listened to the man in purple named Tang Mu telling everyone about the sect rules. They basically said they were not allowed to fight among themselves, not go down the mountain at will, and not bully good people. etc.
After Tang Mu finished speaking, he ordered Deacon Xu to take everyone to settle down, and then left the lobby hand in hand with Li Xiangyu.
Liu Qingyi followed Deacon Xu dumbly and led the group of Tsing Yi disciples out of the Heavenly Beast Hall, climbed half the hillside, and came to a valley in the forest.
Four densely packed rows of small wooden houses were built on the slopes on both sides of the valley, arranged neatly like farmhouses. A large stone pillar at the entrance was engraved with the three characters "Lingxiu Valley".
When Liu Qingyi saw Deacon Xu arranging accommodation for the Tsing Yi disciples one by one, but it was still his turn, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Senior brother, where am I?"
Deacon Xu glanced at Liu Qingyi and said, "Follow me." Then he led Liu Qingyi out of the Spiritual Cultivation Valley and headed straight for the Heavenly Beast Hall.
Returning to the Heavenly Beast Hall, Deacon Xu took him to a side room in the hall, got him a piece of gray clothes to put on, and took him a gray nameplate to hang around his waist.
Liu Qingyi patted the somewhat unlucky gray nameplate and followed Deacon Xu step by step. The group left the Heavenly Beast Hall again, walked to the right for more than ten steps, and came to a low bungalow.
Deacon Xu took out an iron key he carried with him, opened the door, let Liu Qingyi in, pointed to a bed next to the door, and gestured: "Well, you can stay here. You can put your things away first. Let's settle things down and then come and work with me."
Liu Qingyi looked into the inner room and saw a row of beds, placed one after another on both sides of the room, with only an aisle left in the middle. She felt cold and thought to herself: "Mother, it's actually a big bed." .”
Seeing Deacon Xu turn around to leave, Liu Qingyi quickly grabbed him and said, "Um...Senior Brother Xu, although you and I are gray-clothed disciples, we are still half-immortals, sleeping on this big bunk. , it’s too cruel to people.”
"Half an immortal?" Deacon Xu repeated this sentence with a sly smile. Seeing Liu Qingyi's indignant expression, he said somewhat preachingly: "Since you recognize yourself as a half immortal, you should have the aspiration to be born as an immortal and practice as a human being. People, where can I live without living?”
Liu Qingyi put down the package on his back, looked at Deacon Xu eagerly and said, "Senior brother, I'm not used to a group of people sleeping together. I see there are many vacant rooms in the spiritual valley, why not arrange one for me to stay in? "
Deacon Xu shook his head and said: "That's for the Tsing Yi disciples. It's against the rules for you to live there. Besides, there is abundant spiritual energy everywhere in Tianshou Mountain. What's the difference between a Datongpu and a small wooden house? You are so obsessed with things outside your body." , which is very detrimental to spiritual practice!”
Liu Qingyi lowered her head and held Deacon Xu's hand without letting go. She still said plausibly: "Although I am practicing, I still like to live alone in a small wooden house."
Deacon Xu sighed and said: "You have too many delusional thoughts, which may be very detrimental to your practice..."
Liu Qingyi's voice became louder: "I can't sleep well, and I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to my practice. I would like to ask my senior brother, how can I move to the Spiritual Cultivation Valley?"
He saw Liu Qingyi wrapped around him like a piece of brown candy, holding his hand and never letting go. He also heard his voice rising up, as if he was quarreling, so he hurriedly said seductively: "Being a disciple in Gray Yi requires a bit of hardship. Fortunately, a fixed ten points of merit are recorded every month, which other disciples cannot even think of."
"It's actually good, you didn't tell me earlier." Liu Qingyi thought, sat down, and finally let go of Deacon Xu's hand.
Deacon Xu got rid of Liu Qingyi and saw him sitting by the bed. He was afraid that he would be obsessed with him again, so he turned around and walked away without looking back, leaving Liu Qingyi sitting in the room alone in a daze.
The little civet cat has now got off Liu Qingyi's shoulder and jumped up and down on the big bed, turning its head from time to time to observe the silent Liu Qingyi.
"Since there are benefits, it doesn't mean that we can't live here." Although Liu Qingyi didn't know what the ten merit points were for, the deacon surnamed Feng sounded like he was extremely valuable.
It's just that the treatment conditions of this gray-clothed disciple are very different from what he imagined, and he is like a handyman in this sect, which really makes him feel depressed.
Thinking of the so-called ten points of merit, Liu Qingyi cheered up again, took some spiritual food and fed it to the little civet. He also used some dry food to satisfy his hunger. He lay on the bed and rested for a while, then picked up the little civet and got up to go out. , went to the Heavenly Beast Hall to look for Deacon Xu.
When they arrived at the Heavenly Beast Hall, Liu Qingyi saw seven or eight people coming back, one or two of them were swearing and making a lot of noise.
I heard one of the tall disciples dressed in black say: "It's really unlucky. I went to Baihua County to select spirits. Qi Yingying in Baihua Fairy Valley was so eloquent that I don't know what kind of ecstasy was poured into those people in Baihua County. , several of the top ranked Qi Ling seedlings chose Baihua Fairy Valley, which made my trip in vain."
A thin disciple dressed in black next to him said: "What do you want to do when you go to other people's fields and compete with them? When I came to Juntian County this time, I let them choose first. I never thought that one of them would be left for me. "After the thin disciple finished speaking, he smiled slightly and seemed to be extremely satisfied with what he had done.
A disciple in purple clothes on the other side said angrily: "This time, all the people from Baihua Fairy Valley came to Hongshan County. The witch named Feng Min brought several female disciples from Baihua Fairy Valley. , all the way to the spirit selection ceremony, he openly seduced a group of spiritual initiates, and most of the ones who ranked high in the competition were chosen by him and the others, which is really annoying. "
Next to this purple-clothed disciple, another purple-clothed disciple said happily: "Who says it's not the case? The Hundred Flowers Immortal Valley is doing the same thing here in Zuoji. Now it's good, there are a lot more in my Southern Realm Immortal Sect. Things that are neither male nor female.”
When the tall black-clothed disciple who spoke earlier heard this, he thought that the scene was extremely funny, so he laughed loudly. The rest of the people also laughed, but the four new disciples standing in the lobby had some embarrassed expressions on their faces, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
At this time, Deacon Xu was seen hurrying over with a few pieces of green clothing in one hand and a tray in the other.
Liu Qingyi followed suit and helped Deacon Xu distribute clothing nameplates to the new disciples, and then took a few of them to the side room to change clothes.
After everything was arranged, Deacon Xu took Liu Qingyi with him and stepped aside to wait in silence.
The tall disciple dressed in black began to explain the sect rules to several people, and announced the sect's mission and merit points, and finally ordered Deacon Xu to take a few people down to arrange accommodation.
Liu Qingyi followed Deacon Xu and led several disciples to the Spiritual Cultivation Valley to settle down, then left the valley again, but did not return to the Heavenly Beast Hall, but chose another direction.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two came to a yellow building. There was a plaque hanging on the upper floor with the words "Lingshan Hall" written on it.
Deacon Xu turned to Liu Qingyi and said, "Junior brother Liu, I guess you're hungry too, let's fill your stomach first." After that, he pulled Liu Qingyi in.
Liu Qingyi retracted her hands and kept still. She looked into the Lingshan Hall and saw that many people had come to the corner of the hall. They were all disciples in green clothes. She teased: "Brother, I think this place is noble and elegant." , is the place where Tsing Yi disciples should stay for meals. As Gray Yi disciples, it’s better to live in Datongpu and eat solid food. I happened to eat just now, so I’m not hungry yet.”
Deacon Xu laughed strangely and said, "You are overthinking. Do you think you are sitting with them and eating the same thing? You are really flattering yourself."
After saying that, he pulled Liu Qingyi to a dining hall window and said inside: "Deacon Feng, get us two serving meals."
A middle-aged man's smile appeared at the window and he asked: "Two people?"
Deacon Xu said hurriedly: "Yes, this is the new Junior Brother Liu, who is working with me in the Heavenly Beast Hall."
The middle-aged man known as Deacon Feng glanced at Liu Qingyi briefly, said "Oh", and soon handed over two wooden boxes.
Deacon Xu carried the wooden box, led Liu Qingyi to a corridor in the side hall of the hall, pulled over two meditation futons, randomly selected one and sat on it, handed one of the wooden boxes over, and said with a smile : "You're hungry, don't hold on, fill your stomach quickly."
Liu Qingyi took the wooden box with a righteous look on his face, "I did use dry food just now. I'm really full. If you don't believe me, touch my belly."
Deacon Xu didn't even raise his head, he just poured the food from the wooden box into his mouth and muttered: "Eat, stop chirping, I'm a little annoying to you."
Liu Qingyi opened the wooden box and took a few bites. He felt that the food tasted very special when chewed in his mouth. There was even a vague aura surrounding his teeth, which was similar to the taste of the red-mouthed fish in Humiao Village. He couldn't help but be very surprised and asked: "This servant meal is actually spiritual food?"
"What else?" Deacon Xu tilted his head and glanced at him.
"What those Tsing Yi disciples eat is also spiritual food?" Liu Qingyi was even more curious.
"That's natural. The spiritual food they eat is a top-quality specialty product of this county, and ordinary people can't eat it." Deacon Xu said vaguely.
Liu Qingyi sighed in her heart at this moment. It was really unbelievable that the spiritual food, which was originally extremely rare in the mortal world, was now treated as ordinary food by the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect, and was even divided into high-grade and low-grade food.
After thinking about it like this, he, like Deacon Xu, sat on the futon in the corridor with his legs half curled up and started to eat. He said he was full just now, but now he ate all the spiritual food in the wooden box very sparingly, and during the process he also picked out a lot for the little civet to try.
For a long time, the two of them stopped sweating profusely. Deacon Xu took out a small wooden stick and shaved his teeth. He looked at Liu Qingyi and said, "You have a lot of special spiritual foods in Lan County. You have tasted a few of them." ?”
Liu Qingyi raised his head, "Just one or two kinds, have you heard of the red-billed fish?"
Deacon Xu shook his head and thought for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "There are a lot of fish spiritual food sent as tribute from various counties. I don't like eating it, and I can't remember its name. I ate a few of them in Bolian County before coming here." The taste of sub-fish spiritual food seems to be similar.”
