Chapter IX: Inner Sect Suspicious Release
It has been more than half a month since I followed Wang Zixian to learn how to manage the medicinal fields. The two of them went from being ignorant of the first questions to now that practice makes perfect, and they have gradually become more comfortable taking care of the medicinal herbs.
Wang Xiaobao has also become familiar with the new disciples on Bright Moon Peak, and he is no longer like when he first entered the sect, always following behind the deer like a little tail.
On the winding mountain road, a girl with a bun in a bun jumped up and down the mountain like a happy little animal. The girl's skin was slightly dark, her figure was a little thin, and she was holding a wooden hand on her slender arms.
His eyes were dark and round, and his long eyelashes cast two fan-shaped shadows on his cheeks. The beads of sweat on the tip of his small nose reflected a little crystal light in the afternoon sun.
Xiaolu has been particularly fond of the job of fetching water recently. This is not because she is diligent and likes to run errands, but she simply can't stand it when Senior Brother Wang keeps telling them over and over again what they need to pay attention to about medicinal herbs. After more than half a month of familiarity, in the medicinal field,
Xiaolu has long been familiar with the habits of the few medicinal herbs. So recently, Wang
As soon as the senior brother came to the medicine field to check his homework, Xiaolu hurriedly carried a bucket and lied about going down the mountain to fetch water.
Fortunately, after Senior Brother Wang checked the habits and collection methods of Xiaolu's several herbs, although he felt helpless, he had no intention of embarrassment, and Xiaolu was happy and at ease.
After being lazy a lot, Xiaolu discovered a few good places to go. Especially walking down the mountain along Muyue River, there was a small waterfall about 78 feet high about three to five miles away from Jiaoyue Peak.
, there is a clear pool of water at the bottom.
The water in this pond is exceptionally clear, and there are many small fish and shrimps in the water. It is surrounded by lush trees, and it is in the opposite direction to the gate of Muyue Mountain, so not many people know about this place.
At first, Xiaolu just took off her shoes and socks and swung her feet to play by the pool. However, since she discovered this place, she has not met any of her fellow disciples.
Over time, the deer gradually became more courageous, and now it will never go back without having fun in the pool for half an hour wearing close-fitting clothes.
As the sun set, the deer returned to the medicine garden carrying a full bucket of water.
As soon as I walked to the door, a small figure came up to me.
"Sister Lu, you are finally back."
Seeing Wang Xiaobao's anxious look, Xiaolu's eyes narrowed, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't miss the meal. Is Senior Brother Wang leaving?"
"Let's go." Wang Xiaobao stamped his feet, "Oh no, tomorrow is twenty. You must never forget to listen to my uncle's lecture again."
When Xiaolu heard this, he immediately put on a bitter look, "What?! It's twenty again so soon? How could I remember that the tenth day of the Lunar New Year just passed a few days ago!"
"On the tenth day of the lunar month, you were late for a stick of incense and were punished by Master Ma to copy the "Kongwu Nourishing Secret" five times. Master Ma said he would take a test on you tomorrow. If you couldn't answer the answer, you would have to copy it five more times.
Until you memorize the entire article..."
The little deer rolled his eyes, looking hopeless.
The two of them went to the canteen together, queued up to receive their meals, and found a seat in a corner to sit down.
The little deer lowered his head, thinking of Uncle Ma's test tomorrow, and couldn't get any interest in eating at all.
It was meal time, and there were many disciples eating in the dining hall. Most of them, like Xiaolu and Wang Xiaobao, occupied a table in twos and threes, chatting while eating.
"The deacon disciples will be assigned next month. I don't know where I will be assigned." A young disciple with a sad face said to his companions.
"You can go anywhere, as long as you don't get assigned to Lanshan City." A fat male disciple beside the disciple whispered.
"Why? Isn't Lanshan City one of the top big cities under our Kongwu Sect? I heard that the monthly salary for working in Lanshan City is more than twice that of other small cities." The first disciple who spoke up asked with some confusion.
The fat disciple snorted, "No matter how high your salary is, you must have a life flower. Lanshan City has always been the key target of harassment by Kuangfeng Village. Three years ago, the city gate was breached by Kuangfeng Village. On that day, not a single disciple of the sect in the city died.
Also, although we later fought back Lanshan City, the riots, large and small, have not subsided in the past few years. If we were really transferred to Lanshan City, our fate might be decided there."
The fat man's words caused a commotion among the disciples around him. It was obviously the first time for many of them to hear the news outside the mountain gate.
"My family has already taken care of things for me. I will be assigned to a shop in Moshan City when the time comes. I advise you all to make plans early." The fat man looked at the expressions of his companions and smiled proudly.
Will the inner disciples be released? Xiao Lu thought in confusion.
During the entrance examination that day, Master Wu Peak mentioned "named disciples", "inner disciples" and "personal disciples", and later Senior Brother Liu also explained them to them.
It turns out that "named disciples" are also called outer sect disciples, who are specially trained by the sect to manage the industries outside the sect. After entering the sect, they do not enter the sect, but go directly to various major industries and shops as apprentices. Those who perform well are also
You can be promoted and become the person in charge of a certain industry. For example, Xiaolu's uncle went from being an ordinary outer disciple to being the owner of a restaurant.
As for the "inner disciples", as the name suggests, they are the disciples who stay in the mountain gate and learn martial arts and mental methods. This group of disciples generally do not need to participate in external affairs. Except for the new disciples who need to bear the chores within the gate, the old disciples
The job is to practice martial arts and perform some tasks within the sect.
"Personal disciples" are different. Only the apprentices of several Peak Masters can be called "personal disciples." Personal disciples directly obey the orders of their masters and leaders. Their task is to practice martial arts, and they hardly need to participate in any sect.
tasks, and also has a monthly salary that is several times higher than that of ordinary disciples.
