The next day, the courtyard where the Taoist boys lived was swept clean and almost spotless.
Then Su Li saw the inner disciples who came to choose their companions...
"You are so young!" He sighed with the mentality of a middle-aged uncle. Each of these inner disciples looked like they were only about twenty years old. In Su Li's eyes, they were just young boys.
And although these young guys look very imposing and powerful, they obviously lack experience and seem a little too impetuous.
But this is also the meaning of Jian Zong letting them out of the mortal world to refine their hearts.
But seeing these young guys, Su Li gave up the idea of competing with those pretty girls...
This group of young men, who had never seen much of the world and had obviously never seen many women, simply set their sights on the fifteen or sixteen-year-old 'female Taoist girls' as soon as they entered the door.
Their targets are these girls, they have nothing to do with boys like him!
But he didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but he suddenly noticed a gaze sweeping towards their little Taoist boy...
Su Li immediately felt a chill on his back and hurriedly hid behind a little brother.
Not long after, the little brother next to him quietly thanked him with gratitude in his eyes, and then he was happily picked away...
Su Li looked at the cheerful man with sadness and didn't know what to say.
Maybe the way of thinking in the 'first life memory' is too dirty? But I still wish him the best!
Su Li, who had the mindset of a middle-aged uncle, looked at the group of beautiful female Taoist girls. They were constantly posing with their bodies or singing or dancing to attract the attention of the young inner disciples.
He already knew in his heart that the courtyard he was in was probably used to recruit servants and maids for Jian Sect disciples.
They will probably never see the so-called immortal fate in their lifetime. It is said that among the Taoist boys, the one who has the best success is the Taoist monk who becomes an inner disciple.
He thought about it and gave up his expectations for the present. The thinking of middle-aged people is indeed more stable and pragmatic.
He decided to wait another four years until he was twelve years old to try the qi training and breathing method taught by the Central Government. If he didn't succeed, he would go home and work in farming early. He thought he would be able to do well by relying on his past life experience.
If you can succeed in cultivation, then go to the outer sect step by step and work hard, and your life will be better than that of ordinary people if you rely on the Sword Sect.
When he was thinking about this, he never thought about what Chi Lao in the broken ring on his hand could bring to him, because the wisdom of his previous life told him: This is an 'old liar'...
If Chi Lao knew how Su Li felt about him at this time and why, he wonders whether he would be furious.
Then, Su Li watched with a very peaceful attitude as each of the young ladies either happily or shyly found the person he would serve for the next period of time, and then left happily.
The little brothers around him were all downcast, wiping away tears secretly, or gritting their teeth, all looking like "Don't bully young people into poverty."
But just when he thought that he would be like this today and return to his unchanging life of a boy servant, a sloppy-looking old Taoist priest suddenly burst in outside the door...
"Uncle Master, what are you..." The deacon in charge of Su Li and his group of Taoist boys quickly greeted him respectfully and asked politely.
Everyone looked over curiously, and all the Taoist boys showed expectant looks.
Only Su Li was mentally mature and noticed one detail naturally...
He was short, and standing at that angle, he could see the deacon's slightly crooked mouth showing a look of disapproval when he bent down and bowed his head in salute.
"No need to be polite, you should know what my situation is. This time I plan to choose a smart boy who can grind ink and make my bed for me to travel with me in the mountains. Do you have any good recommendations?"
The old Taoist priest said in a somewhat impatient tone. It seemed that he was not very patient with this kind of thing.
Su Li's heart moved slightly when he heard this. Just by hearing this demand, he knew that what the old Taoist priest needed was a boy servant who could really take care of his chores, which was completely different from the inner disciples who probably had some impetuous thoughts.
The deacon was not angry after hearing this, he just smiled and said to the old man:
"Uncle, you don't know. All these boys here are smart, hard-working and capable. Not only are they good at washing, cooking and various chores, but Uncle is also great at warming the bed when necessary."
"He actually said it..." Su Li felt disgusted in his heart. It turned out that the place he was in really had this function.
No wonder the disciples who are sent to the outer sect every year are usually boys of age and very few girls. They all seem to have been "digested internally" like this.
At this time, Su Li's mentality was very contradictory and contradictory. His memory from his 'previous life' told him that this kind of thing was wrong and very shameful.
However, his short experience in this life told him that this was normal and nothing to be surprised about. So in this contradictory state of mind, his face showed a look of indifference.
This mature expression is actually very conspicuous among a group of brats, especially when the old Taoist priest has been observing the Taoist boys in front of him since he entered the door. Su Li's performance naturally fell into his trap.
In eyes.
Then the old Taoist priest didn't know what his state of mind was, and regardless of what the deacon said, he just said to himself:
"I'm not afraid to tell you. Old Taoist, I am a disciple of the Jian Sect's Talisman Sect. This year, my life expectancy of 209 is approaching. This trip is my last chance to try my luck and find an opportunity to form a pill... Needless to say, if you follow me and work hard, you will probably follow me.
I will die together in a foreign land."
After finishing speaking, the old Taoist glanced around among the many Taoist boys calmly, and as expected, he saw many cowering looks...
Indeed, he is a disciple of the Talisman Sect of the Sword Sect. Even if his cultivation level is close to the formation of pills, he can only be regarded as a side sect within the Sword Sect, and there is no comparison with the young inner sect disciples just now.
And if you follow him, you will probably never come back, which no normal person would be willing to do.
After a slight pause, he added: "Now, who wants to come with me?"
The Taoist boys all flinched, and the young virgins even lowered their heads and paid no attention.
After all, they are still so young and still have opportunities, so there is no need to compete with others for such 'opportunities'.
And those children who were still aggrieved and resentful of injustice also retreated...
Obviously accompanying Lao Dao out is not a good choice for them.
But Su Li felt that these people were really short-sighted and stupid. In fact, compared to the young boys before, this old man who decided to give it a last try was the real 'immortal fate'!
So he raised his hand decisively and said: "I do."
"Very good, it's your turn. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to pack your things, and then we'll set off." The old man acted resolutely and made a decision on the spot, even directly deciding on the itinerary.
So under the complicated eyes of the deacon and all the friends, Su Li bowed calmly and said:
"Master Qi, the boy has nothing to offer and can set off at any time."
The old Taoist laughed immediately after hearing this: "Good boy, I like this temperament, so come with me!"
