The billions of miles of rivers and mountains in the Tianyuan Continent are the world of warriors. People all over the world admire the strong, which leads to strong folk customs.
Haotian Peak in the Bauhinia Empire is a holy place for cultivation and the gate of Wuwei Taoist Academy. There are only two ways to enter Wuwei Taoist Academy, one is to work as a handyman, and the other is to become a disciple of Wuwei Taoist Academy.
Whenever Wuwei Taoist Academy recruits disciples, the famous families in the empire rush to send their disciples for examination, but there are only a few who can be accepted by Wuwei Taoist Academy. The main reason is that the conditions for Wuwei Daoyuan to recruit disciples are extremely harsh.
Excellent qualifications will never be accepted.
If they are unable to become disciples of the sect, those with strong self-esteem will return dejectedly, while those with perseverance will sign up as handymen in order to please the elders of the sect and pass on their moves.
Lin Ruo is an example of someone who is extremely unlucky. When Wuwei Taoist Academy recruited disciples three years ago, Lin Ruo went through all the trouble to come and take the assessment. What was unlucky was that as soon as the recruitment meeting was held, someone suddenly showed up.
The sloppy old guy said that his qualifications were not good enough and there was no need to take the test, so he could not become a disciple of the sect. He pretended to be a handyman disciple and forcibly brought him into the mountain gate.
This was against the rules, and the recruitment of disciples was reviewed by the elders; the general affairs office was responsible for recruiting and arranging the assistants, but the old guy acted very domineering at the time, and with a wave of his sleeves, he drove away the elders who came to stop him, and then
He pinched his nose and said, "I want this handyman. If you are not convinced, go find Yuan Tiangang."
Who is Yuan Tiangang? He is the headmaster of Wuwei Taoist Academy, a giant in the world of cultivation. Who dares to call him by his name easily? But the sloppy old guy dares to dare without any scruples!
Who can go to the boss for a handyman? Who is willing to go to the boss without feeling comfortable? As a result, Lin Ruo's status as a handyman was confirmed. He didn't even take the assessment and became a handyman directly.
"You're lazy again, I'll beat you to death, you scum!" Lin Ruo, who had just finished chopping firewood and came out to take a breath, received a slap on the back of the head.
After stumbling for two steps, Lin Ruo fell to the ground, and two bright red blood marks appeared on the bluestone.
Lin Ruo bit her lip, looked down at her bruised and bleeding knees, and slowly stood up.
"What? Still not convinced? Have you fed my red flame?" Chen Qinglin stared at her eyes and drank sweetly, with the intention of continuing to get angry.
"I've just finished chopping firewood and I'm going to feed Chi Yan later. I wonder if the second lady has any other instructions?" Chi Yan is a good horse raised by Chen Qinglin. If Lin Ruo dislikes who he likes the most in Wuwei Taoist Academy,
That was the Chen Qinglin in front of me, who was typically unruly, willful, and a little bit aggressive.
"If there is any problem with Chi Yan, I will break your legs." Chen Qinglin pulled the hem of her skirt and left.
Looking at Chen Qinglin's swaying back, Lin Ruo was a little annoyed. Wasn't he just relying on the shadow of his ancestors to bully others? He only knew how to fight against others' power.
At this time, Lin Ruo had the idea of leaving. He was here to learn Kung Fu, not to be angered. If this continued, he might as well continue to wander around the world.
Lin Ruo didn't know his life experience. As long as he could remember, he followed an old and frail grandfather around the world. Grandpa said that he picked it up and only had a jade pendant with his name engraved on it. Grandpa died without any worries.
Lin Ruocai came to Wuwei Taoist Temple.
Lin Ruo added Chi Yan's fodder, touched the jade pendant, and walked towards his residence.
"Lin Ruo, what's wrong with your legs? Is that Senior Aunt Chen bullying you again? I'm going to tell the elders that it's too much." Halfway through, a boy about the same age as Lin Ruo came over and called to Lin Ruo.
.
"This time it's not a big one, it's a small one. Let them do whatever they like! Yunzheng, you don't have to worry about it." Lin Ruo smiled bitterly.
Yunzheng was very close to Lin Ruo, and they attended the recruitment meeting together. Yunzheng was accepted by an elder of the Qingshan branch because of his good qualifications.
Lin Ruo was in the Qingzhu branch, and Chen Qinglin was the second granddaughter of the master of the Qingzhu branch. Lin Ruo was usually bullied by her aunt Chen Fan, and Chen Qinglin learned from her aunt.
"There's no way to go on like this." Yunzheng said angrily.
"I don't want to stay here anymore. I'll say hello to the old guy who brought me in later and leave." Lin Ruo said his decision.
"That's fine. I'll take a leave from Master tomorrow and send you away. Let my father help you find something to do." Yun Zheng was helpless in the face of Lin Ruo, who had done nothing for three years after entering the school.
After sending Yunzheng away, Lin Ruo limped back to his residence. The place where Lin Ruo lived was called Zhenxie Valley, which was far away from the center of Qingzhu Branch. He lived with a sloppy old guy. During the day, Lin Ruo arrived
I go to work in the branch hospital and come back to rest at night.
After returning to his residence and packing up his things, Lin Ruo took out the medicine bottle and began to apply medicine to the broken knee. Looking at the scar on his leg, Lin Ruo's hands were shaking and her heart was filled with anger.
"Been beaten again?" The sloppy old guy walked in.
"It's not surprising that everyone else practices, but I don't. Some of the people who entered the sect in the same year are already middle-ranking martial arts masters and Taoists. What's more, some of them have already reached high positions. They are just ordinary handymen like me, and they are beaten.
It's normal." Lin Ruo's tone was very calm, with a hint of reluctance in it.
"Didn't I teach you a set of exercises? Why doesn't it count as practice?" The sloppy old guy pulled the only chair in Xiang Ruo's room and sat down, squinting and looking at Lin Ruo.
"You taught me a set of Kung Fu? Was it for health? Or for strengthening my body? I came here to learn Kung Fu, not to be a punching bag." Lin Ruo put down his trousers.
"Being angry is a good thing, anger is motivation. You have been in the sect for three years, right? Are you in your teens this year?" the sloppy old guy said unhurriedly.
"I started when I was thirteen, and I am sixteen this year." Lin Ruo said coldly, not understanding what the old guy meant by asking this.
Lin Ruo knew very little about this sloppy old guy. He only knew that he was a special existence in Wuwei Taoist Academy. He didn't care about anyone, and no one cared about him.
When Lin Ruo was assigned the status of a handyman, the old guy said nothing but a strong statement, "Go find Yuan Tiangang." The elder responsible for recruiting disciples couldn't stop him. As for whether it was reported to all levels and whether there were any results, it was another matter.
The True Evil Valley where Lin Ruo and the old guy live is a forbidden area. No one comes there, not even the Tai Sui of the branch master's family dare to come.
"It's been three years since I started, so be it! You keep practicing the exercises I teach you, and I'll think about it before teaching you something else." The old guy rubbed his nose with his sleeves that hadn't been washed in several years, thought for a moment and said, "That skill
The method has no effect at all, so I have no need to practice it." Lin Ruo was very dissatisfied with the nameless method he practiced. "You bastard, the method is useless? How many beatings have you received in the past three years, but have you ever hurt your muscles and bones? You
Why do you think it's because of that?" The sloppy old guy stood up and slapped Lin Ruo under the bed with a flick of his robe sleeve.
Lin Ruo was slapped so hard that stars popped out of her eyes, but her head was very clear. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed like this. Last month, Chen Fan beat himself the hardest, breaking a wooden stick, and then hit him again with an iron stick.
He was beaten several times, and he only suffered superficial injuries.
"Think about it slowly, what? Pack your things and want to run away? If you dare to run, I will break your legs." The old guy glared at Lin Ruo and left angrily.
Lin Ruo was a little dumbfounded. This sloppy old guy was very angry when angry. At the same time, he knew that the skills he practiced were not rubbish. The most shocking thing was that Lin Ruo knew that the old guy was a cultivator, not a simple cultivator.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out. If he couldn't figure it out, just don't think about it. Lin Ruo shook his head and climbed into bed to continue practicing.
After calming down and practicing the nameless body-building exercises, Lin Ruo felt a warm current swirling around his body, which was very comfortable. No matter how tired he was during the day, as soon as he practiced the exercises, his fatigue disappeared. This was the reason why Lin Ruo kept practicing.
As soon as the sky dawned, Lin Ruo got up. Since he couldn't leave, he still had to work.
After filling several water tanks in the water room, Lin Ruo came to the front yard and called the roll call. The handyman disciples were called every morning, and they could only eat after the roll call. He watched the fat and fat servant steward's mouth open and close.
Yes, Lin Ruo despised it in her heart. Is there any point in talking about it like chanting sutras for half a quarter of an hour every morning?
"Lin Ruo, Senior Aunt Chen's place is short of a servant. I asked you to go over by name. After you go over there and deal with the things there, the things here must also be completed." Hu Yuan glanced at Lin Ruo and ordered, with a gloating smile on his lips.
"I'm too busy!" Lin Ruo risked his life and went to serve that vicious woman by himself. He would definitely not have a good life, so he might as well make a decision now.
"You dare to disobey the arrangement? Come here, catch me and beat him hard. I didn't realize that this kid is still a stubborn guy. Beat me until he is convinced." Hu Yuan was angry. Lin Ruo was provoking this.
It is a disregard for one's own authority in governing affairs.
"Stop, it's inappropriate to make noises so early in the morning." A majestic voice came from the gate, and a man in purple robe appeared at the door with his hands behind his back, arriving before anyone else could.
"I've seen the branch master." All the servants were prostrate on the ground. Lin Ruo was thinking about whether to kneel or not. He was just a servant, not a disciple of the sect, so why should he kneel down?
"Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" Chen Fu stared at Lin Ruo and asked, an invisible momentum rushing towards Lin Ruo.
"Although I, Lin Ruo, am a handyman, I am also a man. A good man stands upright to heaven and earth. The master of the branch is not among the masters of heaven and earth, so I do not kneel." Lin Ruo knew that she was going to be unlucky, but Lin Ruo did not want to kneel down, even if it meant being punished.
Nor do I want to.
"Are you Lin Ruo? Very good! Very good! This is your token. From today on, you will be a disciple of Wuwei Taoist Academy. As for who is your master, we will talk about it later." Chen Fu took out a token and threw it to him.
Lin Ruo turned around and left.
Looking at the token with his name engraved in his hand, Lin Ruo was a little dumbfounded. Has he become a disciple of Wuwei Taoist Academy? What shocked him most was that the master would say this again in the future.
When Wuwei Taoist Temple accepts disciples, it is the master who selects the disciples. How can one become a disciple and not have a master? Lin Ruo wanted to ask, but Chen Fu had already left. Holding the token, Lin Ruo stretched out his hand and flicked it a few times to distinguish the true from the false.
, and then scratched his hair to make sure he was not dreaming. He also understood in his heart that even if he was a disciple, he was still a disciple without a master, but his name had changed.
"Lin Ruo? There is only one Lin Ruo in Qingzhu Branch, ah! Hu Yuan has met Senior Brother Lin." He muttered to himself and found that there was no one named Lin Ruo in Qingzhu Branch. Hu Yuan knew that the branch master was not mistaken. He understood.
Lin Ruo was about to stand up, so she quickly opened her mouth to please him.
"I've met Senior Brother Lin." The other handyman disciples also bowed to please him.
"It's true that I am a senior brother, but I don't have a junior brother like you. Didn't you just want to defeat me? I'll defeat you first!" Lin Ruo stretched out his right arm and punched Hu Yuan in the eye.
.
For a snob like Hu Yuan, Lin Ruo was extremely disgusted. Seeing the flattery that made people vomit, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"Senior brother, stop fighting. I know I was wrong." Hu Yuan did not dare to fight back and began to beg for mercy.
"Oh, Lin Ruo, you are very capable." A sneer came from the door.
