When the sky was still dark and bright, Wang Yi got up, packed his things and walked towards the front yard.
His injury was not completely healed, and he was still limping when he walked. He couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the Phantom Sect. He had been staying in the house and never came out due to the injury, but today he finally got a glimpse of it.
The style of this phantom sect.
There are layers of steps at the main entrance, with rows of white pillars erected on both sides of the steps. On the last step, there is a stone plaque hanging in the air. The four sides of this flat stone exude a faint blue light.
There are three big characters written in the middle - Phantom Sect.
These three characters are elegant yet domineering, which can be said to be unique. The deployment of the Phantom Sect is like a bun, with peripheral disciples on the outside, and the habitat of its elders and introductory disciples inside.
.
The clouds in the sky permeated the entire Phantom Sect, looming and visible, within reach, but dispersing at the touch of a finger. No wonder it is said that there is a powerful person living on the top of Yunshan Mountain!
Wang Yi continued to walk forward, and he saw a surprising scene. It was still dark, but the disciples on the periphery were still busy. Wang Yi's appearance was quickly discovered by others. Most of the disciples came to court.
He nodded and passed by.
"Hey, aren't you the person that the great elder wanted to save from Li Rong? Why are you here?" A very strong young man put down the bucket in his hand and asked doubtfully. As soon as he approached Wang Yi, he asked something
There was a strong smell of sweat, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat, but he didn't care, as if he was used to it.
"What, did the Great Elder ask Senior Brother Li to save me?" Wang Yi asked in confusion.
The strong young man was stunned when he heard this and laughed, "Then Li Rong didn't mean to say that he saved you out of kindness, right?"
Wang Yi remained silent and nodded.
"Humph, let me tell you, he is not a good person. What are you doing here?"
"Senior Brother Li asked me to live in the residence of the peripheral disciples!"
"So that's it. It's not convenient for you to say more now. My residence is in the room on the east side. You can go straight ahead and turn left. I have an empty bed there, so you can sleep in my place! Wait.
I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back from my work!" After saying this, the young man picked up two buckets of water and walked forward.
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him and walked towards the east house.
"Squeak!" As soon as Wang Yi opened the door, he smelled a smell of mold and sweat. He frowned and staggered in. There were actually three beds in a small room, and
Still connected, Wang Yi did not hesitate to lay out the sheets and then walked out of the door and headed towards the back room.
He inquired about it and found out that every disciple in the peripheral area had a job to do, and the person who assigned the work was Li Rong. It could be said that in this peripheral area, he had the power to cover the sky with one hand. Wang Yi had a list of disciples in the back room.
I found my name in it and it said:
Name: Wang Yi, job: One hundred kilograms of firewood per day in the previous month, with a ten written behind it, and a red cross on top of the ten. This red cross is very conspicuous, and there are people like him in the entire roster.
There are very few people.
Wang Yi wrote down the red cross and murmured, "I'm going to ask that young man what it means when I go back tonight."
"Here, you've got this ax for chopping firewood! If you don't see a hundred kilograms of firewood in the back room before tomorrow, you won't have anything to eat." Another disciple threw the ax on the ground.
His face was full of disdain.
Wang Yi just glanced at it coldly, endured it silently, picked it up and walked out. How could he not bow his head when being sheltered by someone else? Wang Yi understood this and ignored it.
Wang Yi took the ax and walked towards the road he climbed up the mountain. He had walked on this mountain road so he knew there was no danger. However, at first glance, weeds were growing here and there were very few trees. He frowned deeply.
He raised his eyebrows and sighed, taking a sharp ax to chop down the branch in front of him.
Time passed minute by minute, and the whole morning passed in a blink of an eye. Wang Yi kept cutting. At this time, he was sweating profusely, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of sweat. There were scratches on his hands.
It had split open again, and the blood had stained his white gauze that had been bandaged.
He endured this silently. After working all morning, he only chopped more than 30 kilograms of firewood. When he returned to the house, he immediately collapsed on the bed. Now he finally knew why the house was full of mold.
The smell of sweat and sweat, and why the peripheral disciples are so busy.
After Wang Yi rested in bed for a while, he took the ax to chop wood again. He didn't come back until Xu. After a busy day, his whole body was in a state of soreness, but this hard work only gave him three
Steamed bun.
"By the way, my name is Zhang Hu. You can call me Brother Hu from now on! What's your name?" asked the young man in the daytime.
"Hello, Brother Hu, my name is Wang Yi!"
"Well, what chores did Li Rong assign to you?" Zhang Hu asked doubtfully.
"Senior Brother Li asked me to chop a hundred kilograms of firewood every day for the time being!"
"What, do you have a deep grudge against him? He actually asked you to chop wood?" Zhang Hu said in shock.
"Is it dangerous to chop wood?" Wang Yi asked. At this time, his heart was slowly rising and already hanging in the air.
"More than just danger? You may not even be able to save your life. You still don't know the situation here. There are only three woodcutting spots here. One is where you climbed that day, and the other is the back mountain.
The third place is the woods next to Yunshan Mountain.
Running back and forth up and down the mountain in this first place is simply too much. Besides, there are very few trees there. The mountain behind this second place is the breeding ground for the spiritual beasts of our sect. It is easy to be attacked and killed by this spiritual beast. This
The woods in the third place are even more evil. Disciples who cut wood used to go there, but they never came back."
When Wang Yi heard this, his face gradually turned pale, and he thought to himself, "Is this Senior Brother Li trying to kill me???"
Wang Yi asked again, "Brother Hu, there is a mark behind my name on the roster in the back room. There is a ten written on it, and there is a red cross above the ten. What does this mean?"
Zhang Hu trembled when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment and then said slowly, "Xiao Yi, Li Rong wants to kill you. Although our peripheral disciples do chores every day, they still give out some training materials every month."
The spiritual stones may be elixirs, and the red cross on the cross means that the back house has deducted ten years of your income!"
When Wang Yi heard this, his whole body trembled, and his face looked shocked. Ten years, what is the concept? Ten years of work in vain? The key is that he still doesn't know how to offend him.
"Xiaoyi, Brother Hu is not lying to you. If you want to stay, you can't eat every steamed bun. It seems that Li Rong will not let you go. Why don't you go down the mountain to meet your parents as soon as possible?
It's better to be tried and punished here! Where do your parents live in Fancheng?" Zhang Hu asked casually.
After hearing this, Wang Yi felt a stab of pain in his heart again, and said softly, "I am an orphan. I was adopted by an old man since I was a child. But in order to save myself, my grandfather... He told me that this is the only pendant I have on my body."
His should have been left to me by my parents???"
At this moment, Wang Yi held tightly the crescent-shaped pendant on his chest. At this moment, tears fell again. Zhang Hu saw this scene and quickly said to Wang Yi, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I have to do it tomorrow."
As for the work, I’ll go to bed first, why don’t you go to bed earlier too???”
"Yeah, I got it!" Wang Yi responded softly. At this time, his heart was also filled with hatred for Li Rong. He hated him for deceiving him and bullying him. All of this was unreasonable.
Because he is stronger than me.
Wang Yi made up his mind on the bed. Now that he has embarked on this path, there is no turning back, not to mention that he has nowhere to go. He wants to become a strong man just because he does not want to be bullied and just because he wants to be his grandfather.
