Pagoda Immortality

Chapter 14 Carrying Water

Dangdangdang...

Lu Li, who was still practicing, was suddenly awakened by a harsh sound.

Up to now, he has been practicing in the Time Palace for more than fifty days, which is equivalent to four or five days in the outside world. What is gratifying is that he finally broke through the metallic barrier of the second acupoint and finally saw it. A glimmer of hope.

When he stood up and took a look, it turned out that it was already getting dark outside. Lu Li knew that he was about to start taking the mission.

The tasks of handyman disciples do not require going out like the formal disciples, and there is no danger. The work they do is almost all work that assists the formal disciples in their cultivation, such as chopping wood, carrying water, cooking, cleaning, weeding in the medicinal garden, etc. Category.

Lu Li stood up and tidied up, and found that he didn't feel tired at all after staying up all night. After much deliberation, he could only attribute it to the fact that the main body was sleeping, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

In this way, he can stay up all night without restraint every night.

After leaving the room, Qin Shouren and Chen Zhong just came out. The three of them exchanged a few words and walked towards the small square of the handyman hall. Like them, the handyman disciples from various courtyards came out one after another.

Arriving at the small square, Lu Li found that yesterday, Deacon Wenhong was standing on the steps directly north of the square with one hand behind his back, looking coldly at everyone, and couldn't help but lower his head.

Next to Wen Hong stood a thin, groveling young man in a light blue gown.

When someone saw the young man, they couldn't hide the look of disgust in their eyes, and whispered, "What a bastard." Lu Li glanced at the man in surprise and said nothing.

Qin Shouren walked up to the man with curiosity on his face and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

The man was startled when he heard this, and quickly made a gesture of silence. Then he stared at Qin Shouren and frowned, "You kid, why do you look so wretched? Stay away from me."

"You!" Qin Shouren was very angry and thought to himself, 'You are good-looking. ’ He rolled his eyes at the man and retreated to Lu Li’s side.

After a while, everyone had arrived. Deacon Wen Hong glanced at everyone and then said, "Today is the first day of August. According to the rules, tasks will be reassigned today. Once you receive the task, you are not allowed to change it within a month until next day." Until the first day of the month.”

"Everyone, line up and step forward!"

After finishing speaking, he said to the 'dog leg' beside him, "You are responsible for the registration."

The 'bastard' quickly saluted with a smile and said yes, then sat down at the registration desk and shouted with all his might, "Everyone line up for me and come forward one by one."

Seeing everyone lined up, Wen Hong yawned and seemed to have not slept well. After giving a few instructions, he turned around and entered the lobby.

Seeing Wen Hong leaving, seven or eight people immediately walked out of the team and rushed to the front of the team.

"Brother Zian, I want a fishing mission, fishing..." one person said impatiently.

"Boss Sun, I also want to fish."

"..."

"Don't be anxious." The 'bastard' responded with a smile, while intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the aggrieved people in line behind him, "Since you choose to follow my grandson, I will not treat you badly... ....”

When Lu Li heard this, he immediately understood that this person was secretly forming a clique and giving all the easy jobs to his own people.

"Ni Monkey, how about... let's hang out with him too?" Qin Shouren also understood the meaning.

The tall man standing in front of Qin Shouren looked back at Qin Shouren and said meaningfully: "Junior brother, if you come to Qingyang Sect to hang out, that's it. If you want to go further, I suggest you not to go."

Qin Shouren was stunned and asked quickly: "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?"

The man smiled and said, "Junior brother, I don't know. Although Sun Tzu An's favoritism job is good, 70% of your contribution will be deducted. In other words, your contribution is only 30%. In fact, The contribution you get is far less than the hard work..."

"Of course, if you are afraid of hard work, then forget it."

So that's it.

After listening to this, Lu Li and the other two people all understood.

Sun Tzu An's "people" quickly completed the tasks, and the team kept moving forward. Soon it was the turn of Lu Li and the others. At this time, most of the tasks had been picked, and the rest were basically hard work.

Seeing that Lu Li and the others were newcomers, Sunzi An rolled his eyes and began to induce them, saying that he could help them arrange easy work. Lu Li and the others already understood what was going on. They were not here for leisure, so He politely refused.

Sun Tzu An's face suddenly became very ugly when he heard this, but he didn't want to get angry on the spot. After sorting it out, he threw out three tasks for three people to choose from. Although the contribution of these three tasks was high enough, veteran handymen would basically not touch them.

Qin Shouren picked and chose the task of cleaning the Zongmen Square.

Lu Li looked at the only two tasks left, hesitated for a moment, and chose the water-carrying task. Although it was a bit harder, the contribution was not low, with a total of three hundred points a month.

Finally, there was Chen Zhong. When it was his turn, he had no choice but to take a job chopping wood. They grew up in the mountains and thought that these jobs were not difficult for them.

After receiving the task, the three of them chatted for a few words and then went to work.

Lu Li found a pair of buckets in the utility building, carried them on his shoulders, and walked towards the east of the Handler Valley.

According to the requirements, he needs to fetch water from the Bishui River one mile east of the Zaoyu Valley, and then send it to the pool at the top of Cuiyun Peak in the west.

Lu Li is now at the first level of Qi training, and his movements are much lighter than before. After a while, he saw a ten-zhang wide river in front of him. The water in the river is very clear. This must be the Bishui River.

There is no regulation on the task of carrying water every day, but it must ensure that five of the ten pools on the top of Cuiyun Peak are full, because the pools on Cuiyun Peak are used by the entire Miscellaneous Hall, and daily life depends on it.

As for the water used in other parts of Qingyun Sect, no one is needed to carry it, because Qingyang Sect had already set up a water supply system when it was built, but this Miscellaneous Valley has no water supply system, in order to train miscellaneous disciples.

This bucket is not a normal bucket either. It is more than ten times larger than a normal bucket. If two buckets are filled, it is afraid that it will be no less than 500 kilograms.

Lu Li tried it, and found that he was a little tired after only filling one-third of it. He did not dare to fill it anymore, and rushed back with a long shoulder pole, walking and stopping all the way. It took him a full quarter of an hour to reach the foot of Cuiyun Peak in the west.

Looking at the extremely steep mountain road, Lu Li wiped the sweat from his face and muttered a few words before rushing up.

Halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard a sound of chopping from the jungle on the side of the road. A sturdy young man was swinging an axe vigorously. He used all his strength with each axe, but could only shave off a little skin from the dark tree trunk.

Lu Li walked over and asked in confusion, "Fatty, is your axe not sharpened?"

Chen Zhong saw that it was Lu Li, turned around and handed the axe to Lu Li with a depressed face, "Try it."

Lu Li took the axe and looked at it, and then touched it lightly with his thumb. Just a light touch, he almost cut his finger, and couldn't help but said with shock, "This axe is so sharp?"

"Yes, this axe is already very sharp, but this ghost tree is harder than iron. At first, I thought it was easy to chop three trees a day." Chen Zhong scratched his head, looking depressed.

"Haha, take your time, don't rush." ​​Lu Li patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder, shook his head, and went back to carry the pole up the mountain.
