Chen Dong was still confused, but the teenagers who were gambling all laughed.
"You guy, you actually asked such a stupid question..." One of the teenagers covered his stomach and said with a smile: "Which elder are you from? Why are you here? Don't you have any idea?"
Chen Dong said: "I am a disciple of Master Danyang. I really don't know why I came here."
The young man saw that Chen Dong's face was sincere and did not look like he was lying, so he asked doubtfully: "What mistake did you make?"
"I didn't make a mistake." Chen Dong said: "It's only my first day in Qingyun Mountain, how could I make a mistake?"
"First day in Qingyun Mountain?!"
Several teenagers were shocked and asked Chen Dong what was going on.
Chen Dong said: "I really don't know what's going on. I just passed the final assessment of the young adult class and won the first place in the competition. I came here to report today and they brought me here without saying anything."
Got it!"
Several teenagers looked surprised. You looked at me, I looked at you, but no one said anything.
Chen Dong asked: "What's going on?"
One of the teenagers said: "This is the Discipline and Punishment Department. You come here only if you perform poorly or make mistakes. The man just now is in charge of the Discipline and Punishment Department, his nickname is Liu Datou. He didn't say what mistake you made?"
Chen Dong said: "No!"
"Then you must have offended Master Danyang..." The young man shrugged: "As long as you come, you can stay here. It's just ten buckets of water every morning. It's not a big problem for us Lianjiazi.
.”
On my first day in Qingyun Mountain, I was taken to the Discipline and Punishment Department.
Chen Dong understood that it was Master Danyang who was deliberately retaliating.
Chen Dong asked gloomily: "How long does it usually take to stay?"
Although they have suffered unequal treatment, things like carrying water are actually a bit trivial.
To complain to Qin Rui because of this is a bit "making a fuss out of a molehill". What's the difference between suing the teacher at school?
Therefore, if it only takes a few days, Chen Dong will bear it and not worry about it.
It’s okay to let Master Danyang vent his anger.
It's just carrying water. It doesn't hurt your muscles and bones. It's quite fun to watch these young people.
The young man said: "It's hard to say, everyone who comes to the punishment department has made mistakes, but it also depends on how big the mistake you made. It usually only takes seven days or a month, and it can't exceed three months at most.
.”
Chen Dong asked again: "How many days are you together?"
Several teenagers answered one after another, and sure enough, some were seven days, some were two weeks, and some were a month.
The reasons were either contradicting the teacher, not practicing hard enough, or peeping into the women's restroom. Anyway, they were all minor and innocuous problems.
So Chen Dong decided to wait and see what Danyang Zhenren meant before talking about it.
Chen Dong sat down and gambled with them.
Those who can enter Qingyun Temple are from noble backgrounds and are basically not short of money, so they can have a good time and will not get angry or quarrel over a small amount of money.
That night, Chen Dong slept in one of the thatched huts.
…
When they got up the next morning, several teenagers carried buckets and asked Chen Dong to go to Qingyun Spring to fetch water.
Chen Dong also carried two buckets and headed to the destination chatting and laughing with everyone.
Qingyun Spring is ten miles away, and it is a distance that can be said to be close or far.
Isn’t it just five kilometers?
Not to mention Lian Jiazi, ordinary people don't have any big problems.
But you have to pick ten barrels.
Two barrels at a time means five round trips.
Twenty-five kilometers in total.
Still carrying water.
Even Lian Jiazi can't bear it.
The teenagers were chatting and laughing at the beginning, looking relaxed, but by the third round trip, it was a bit difficult.
Everyone was sweating profusely, panting, and didn't want to say anything.
Chen Dong was quite relaxed.
He is a first-level master and has a weak internal force that he can mobilize.
I even have enough energy left to practice the Seven Star Steps.
He still deliberately slowed down, otherwise he would have left those teenagers far away.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Dong observed the strength of several of them and found that most of them were seventh-level or eighth-level warriors, and the most powerful one was only a peak warrior.
This is strange.
From previous conversations, Chen Dong knew that they had been joining Qingyun Temple for a long time, some one year, some two years, and some even three years.
——Although Qingyun Temple recruits students once every three years, there are also people who come in through other means, either because their connections are strong enough, or because they have enough money.
How come you still don’t have any internal strength after being in Qingyun Temple for so long?
Speaking of this, several young people also expressed their bitterness.
"I'm not a martial artist at all. My father insisted on letting me come. After working so hard for so long, I'm still only a seventh-level martial artist. Master Yanlong was very angry, so he demoted me to the Discipline and Punishment Department!"
"I am quite talented. I have reached the peak of martial arts early. When I first entered Qingyun Temple, everyone had expectations for me. I also thought that I was extremely talented, but I didn't expect that I still haven't found the legendary Qi.
...Sigh, what the hell is anger, and why can’t I always feel it?”
"Hey, you don't have to be discouraged. There are many people who can't find their sense of energy. You are not the only one in Qingyun Temple? I don't have any other dreams. I will be very satisfied if I can reach the peak of a warrior..."
"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
"Wow, I'm so kind to comfort you, but you still mock me as a sparrow?"
"No, no, I mean, it's too painful to have Qi, become a master, and then climb up step by step. It is said that there are disciples who have been in Qingyun Temple for more than ten years, and now they are just one
, only the level of a second-level master!"
"Of course, there are also those who are really talented. They broke through not long after they first entered Qingyun Temple, and then they rose step by step as if they were cheating. For example, Huang Fuzhen, the 'Newcomer King' among the last disciples, is now a seventh-level master.
Got it!"
"Isn't it? These elders are only ninth-level masters. This Huangfuzhen is indeed the most talented disciple of Qingyun Temple in the past ten years..."
Several young people talked endlessly about Qingyun Temple.
Chen Dong also understood a lot of things.
It turns out that "qi sense" is really a very evil thing.
Although most of the disciples of Qingyun Guanzhao have checked their qualifications in advance, when it comes to the "qi sense" step, one-third of them are still rejected.
Even if you have the sense of Qi, upgrading has become a difficult task, and one-third of people are stuck at level one or level two.
The remaining people continue to move up, but how far they can rise depends entirely on their qualifications and luck.
The last "Newcomer King" Huang Fuzhen has been in Qingyun Temple for the fourth year and has reached the level of "Seventh Level Master", which is already considered very powerful.
However, such people are rare after all.
Generally, if a disciple has a level 4 or 5 master, he can become a disciple.
I dare not say that I am invincible outside, but at least I will be respected wherever I go.
You know, the ten elders of Qingyun Temple are only ninth-level masters.
The ninth-level master is the pinnacle of masters and is only one step away from the master, so it is also called a half-step master!
There are ten half-step masters like this in Qingyun Temple.
In short.
Qingyun Temple ranks among the top ten in Yanxia Continent, and it definitely deserves its reputation!
Chen Dong was speechless while listening, thinking that he was about to break through to the second level master, so wouldn't he already belong to the "minority" in Qingyun Temple?
Putting it this way, I still have a good chance of winning the top three in the rookie competition a year from now.
Chen Dong couldn't help but feel a little proud.
But when I think about myself as the disciple personally selected by the sloppy Taoist, I feel normal again.
If he didn't have any skills, it would be impossible for a sloppy Taoist to fall in love with him.
Don’t lose the face of a sloppy Taoist!
…
Several teenagers were still talking non-stop, but Chen Dong remained silent.
He was carrying water on his shoulders, walking on the Seven Star Steps under his feet, and the skills of the wonderful books of heaven and earth were running in his body.
In the newcomer competition a year later, Chen Dong will definitely live up to the expectations of the sloppy Taoist!
…
Time flies, and a month has passed.
Chen Dong is still in the punishment department of Qingyun Mountain.
In the past month, people from the Discipline and Punishment Department have come and gone. Sometimes there are more than a dozen people, and sometimes there are only three or four people.
But no matter who comes, it will not affect Chen Dong.
He is like the Dinghai Shenzhen in the Department of Punishment.
The people around him changed one after another, but he was the only one who remained unmoved when greeted and sent away.
Chen Dong was originally quite calm.
I thought that Master Danyang would punish him for a few days and let him go up the mountain.
As a result, there has been no movement until now.
Chen Dong finally couldn't calm down anymore.
He joined Qingyun Temple for two purposes, one was to use Qingliancao, and the other was to be with Xiao Xiao.
Forget about the green lotus grass, you can only get it after a year.
But Xiao Xiao, after going through a lot of hardships, he finally joined Qingyun Temple with Xiao Xiao, thinking that from then on he would be able to live together day and night...
In the end, there is still a big mountain between us?
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
…
This day.
Chen Dong vaguely felt that he was going to break through to the "Level 2 Master" level.
He decided that after breaking through the "Level 2 Master", he would go to Liu Datou and ask him how many days he would have to stay in the Punishment Department.
If Liu Datou didn't know and couldn't ask the real person Danyang, then don't blame Chen Dong for calling Qin Rui!
Having made up his mind, Chen Dong was in high spirits.
Sitting cross-legged in the thatched hut, Chen Dong kept absorbing the breath of heaven and earth, and transferred it to his Dantian through the operation of the strange books of heaven and earth.
A little bit, a penny.
"ah……"
Suddenly, an extremely comfortable shout came from the thatched house.
All the muscles and bones on Chen Dong's body were also crackling, and some smelly sweat and dirt slowly flowed out from all the pores.
Chen Dong's face was flushed, his heat was rising, his whole body seemed to be full of strength, and his limbs and bones were filled with endless strength.
Breakthrough, Level 2 Master!
Chen Dong opened his eyes suddenly, and two rays of light shot out quickly.
There was still noisy outside the door, some teenagers were having fun, and no one knew about Chen Dong's changes.
No one cares about Chen Dong, and Chen Dong doesn't care about them either.
Chen Dong jumped out of bed lightly and walked towards the house where Liu Datou lived...
