Chapter 8 Return to the Abode
Song Mingting quickly walked through the woods towards his senior brother's monastery, but when he passed by a monastery, he suddenly stopped. The door of the monastery was wide open, and there was a tall poplar tree in the courtyard. Under the tree,
There is a large bluestone, and there is a person lying on the bluestone. The man is disheveled, lying lazily on the stone, squinting his eyes, and drinking wine in sips. Next to it are a plate of peanuts, a plate of beans, and a plate of beans.
Dish of thin meat.
The warm sunshine surrounded the poplar flowers and flew to Song Mingting's nose, which was warm and itchy. At this moment, Song Mingting felt as if he had become two people again. His real self was sinking at the bottom of the deep lake, with the corners of his eyes reddish and his nose sore.
Yes, he only thought about meeting his senior brother, and he actually forgot that he had another senior brother.
This is his second senior brother Chu Kuangge. His second senior brother is a lazy guy with an extremely lazy personality and he doesn't care about cultivation. He smiles playfully all day long. From the time he met him, he always seemed to be enjoying himself. And he was the second senior brother.
The senior brother is not only lazy, he also loves wine very much, almost to the point where he can't be happy without drinking. Of course, his second senior brother is not unmotivated, but all his efforts to improve are spent on studying how to make wine, and he spends most of the day.
, either drinking, or studying how to make better-tasting wine.
Just like an alien!
He has a careless personality, doesn't pay attention to cultivation, and often drinks secretly. Any master who encounters such a disciple will inevitably have a headache. His master has a good temper, but sometimes he will be messed with by his second senior brother.
He could only shake his head and smile bitterly. There were seven senior brothers in total, and the second senior brother was usually the one that Master worried about the most. So when he was a child, he didn't like this second senior brother very much, because he felt that he often made the master angry, which was very troublesome.
.
In addition, they are basically two different people and cannot even talk to each other. In this case, it is even more impossible for the two of them to become close. So later, after he began to become stronger, he and Li
The relationship between Qingque and Wei Kuangyuan has become closer, and their relationship is not much closer than it is now.
Even until the demonic attack on the mountain, he didn't quite know what kind of person the second senior brother was. Later, he wanted to understand, but he never had the chance, because the second senior brother died in the demonic attack on the mountain.
, and it was to save him - he never thought that such a heartless second brother would sacrifice himself just to save him.
This incident has always been firmly stuck in his heart, so much so that he has been immersed in deep regret for more than a hundred years.
At this time, Chu Kuangge in the courtyard also saw Song Mingting. He was a little surprised, but his natural carelessness made him quickly ignore the surprise. He gestured to Song Mingting from afar with the wine bottle in his hand, and said hello with a smile: "
Oh, it’s rare that you come to my place today? Do you want to drink some? Let me tell you, this is the famous apricot blossom wine, it’s delicious!”
Song Mingting's heart was complicated, but all the surging emotions were at the bottom of the dark inner lake. No matter how hard he struggled, there was still deathly silence on the surface of the water. He wanted to speak, but found that he could not speak at all, so in the end, he
Without speaking, he walked directly to Chu Kuangge and sat down.
This time, Chu Kuangge was even more surprised, but he was not someone who liked to get to the bottom of things, so after the accident, he quickly took out a bowl, poured the wine with a smile, and handed it to Song Mingting. Song Mingting took the bowl.
, and Chu Kuangge, you and I drank one sip after another.
Someone was drinking with him. Chu Kuangge was obviously a little excited, so he kept talking while drinking. Song Mingting on the side only listened carefully and did not speak. The atmosphere was harmonious.
After a while, Song Mingting finished his drink and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Second Senior Brother, I'm leaving." His tone was strange, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time and had forgotten how to speak.
Chu Kuangge was already very satisfied that Song Mingting could have a drink with him. Hearing this, he waved his hand: "Go, go." Song Mingting stood up and left.
Soon, Song Mingting came to another monastery. Two tall men stood at the door of the monastery. Both of them were wearing plain white sword robes with some ink sword patterns on the corners. They stood on the left and right in front of the door.
, like two door gods. One of them was a little surprised when he saw Song Mingting: "Mingting, why are you here? Did something fall here?"
Song Mingting shook his head. The two men in front of him were his elder brother's sword boys, named Song Mo and Shi Yan respectively.
They return to the Sword Pavilion to urinate and become true disciples. The inner disciples are equipped with sword boys as personal servants. There are two inner disciples and four true disciples. As their status increases, the number of sword boys will increase.
For example, after an inner disciple is promoted to an inner elder, the number of sword boys will increase to four, and if a true disciple is promoted to a true elder, the number of sword boys will increase to six. In addition, the number of sword boys for the peak master is eight.
, and there are twelve sword boys in charge.
The sword boys were all trained since childhood. They were literate at a young age and each had their own strengths. Except for their basic skills, they were not much different from the inner disciples and true disciples in other aspects. But it was the difference in their basic skills that made them only
You can become a sword boy, but you cannot become an inner disciple or a true disciple.
This is not because they are snobbish in the sword pavilion, because the mediocre skills of the sword boys are doomed that they will not have much success in cultivation, and the scarcity of cultivation resources requires that the sect cannot waste cultivation resources on people with mediocre qualifications.
.
For example, cultivating a true disciple to a moderately powerful person may only require one training resource, while cultivating a sword boy to a moderately powerful person may require dozens or even hundreds of resources.
The latter is dozens of times that of the former! And this is just to train a person to a small level of strength. In subsequent training, the gap in the training resources required for the two will be even greater! This is only the second, and more importantly, the sword
Tong's bones are destined to prevent them from reaching very high heights, even if they spend a huge amount of cultivation resources!
Therefore, no sect would do such a stupid thing, because it is equivalent to digging one's own grave. And the sword boys also voluntarily become sword boys, because the sword boys do the work of slaves, but they are also incompatible with the true inheritance.
Disciples and inner disciples have a closer relationship. For true disciples and inner disciples, the sword boy is not only a servant, but also someone who has grown up together and a confidant in the future. Therefore, true disciples and inner disciples
They never skimp on resources to train their own sword boys, and for sword boys, even if they only get a claw from the hands of true disciples or inner disciples, it is enough for them to benefit from endlessly.
Moreover, in fact, the sect is also happy to see this situation, because the only shackle that restricts the sword boy is the root bone, and the root bone can be improved, so it is not completely impossible for the sword boy to achieve great achievements. Facts
In the history of their return to the Cangjian Pavilion, there are indeed many sword boys who have achieved achievements that are no less than those of ordinary true disciples. The most outrageous one has even stood at the pinnacle of the monastic world. Therefore, the sect is happy to see
of this phenomenon.
This is why the sect stipulates that sword boys are called sword boys, not messy titles like sword slaves. Because a very important point in practicing Taoism is to have spirit, and being called a slave is a very draining thing.
If a person loses his mind, he will not be able to achieve great success in cultivation.
Therefore, in their Guicang Sword Pavilion, the status of the sword boy is not low. Although it is worse than the inner disciples, it is stronger than the outer disciples. In fact, it is not just their Guicang Sword Pavilion, but most sects are like this. And if they follow the right
People, the status of the sword boys may even be higher than that of the inner disciples or even the true disciples - just imagine, would the sword boys in charge have a worse status than the true disciples?
Song Mo and Shi Yan are his elder brother's sword boys. They have served his elder brother since they were young. They have watched him grow up and cannot treat him like a servant. On weekdays, he always treats him as "brother Song Mo"
, "Brother Shi Yan" calls them. In addition to Song Mo and Shi Yan, his senior brother also has two sword boys, named Lang Hao and Yunzhi respectively.
