Zhu He

Although the head of the sect is upright and expects his disciples to be upright as well, but this is a huge sect with different personalities, and being envied and respected by other sects after leaving the sect, how can everyone be as he wishes?After staying here for a while, Jiaci felt that at least the disciples of the Ministry of Water were not as kind as Yu Miao said...

Each of the Qinghemen's eight divisions is in charge of a piece of affairs within the sect. Some are in charge of daily life, such as the Jinbu, responsible for the guarding and protection of Qinghemen; ; the star department is to enforce the gate rules, reward and punish disciples who have made mistakes or made meritorious deeds, and so on.There are also those who are in charge of spiritual practice, such as the Ribu, which manages various spirit stones and elixirs;

Although cultivators will be able to fast after a certain period of time, the plant ingredients produced in the spiritual fields are not comparable to ordinary grains and miscellaneous grains. From seeds to water sources to nutrients, they are all extraordinary, nourishing qi and vitality, different spiritual grains Spirit fruit will have different effects after eating.Of course, higher-level ingredients are more difficult to grow, and require more effort and time. On weekdays, the disciples of the Water Ministry do most of their spare time to take care of the thousands of acres of spiritual fields.

But the land is planted by them hard, and they have to share it with the disciples of the whole sect when they eat it. The quantity must be counted regularly, and no one can take an extra share. The complexion of the elder Poge, from which the occasional grievances in the hearts of the disciples of the Ministry of Water can be expected.

But since the arrival of the two Chang family brothers, several of the disciples have been able to be lazy.The days and nights in the cultivation world are a bit longer than those in the human world. Jiaci can't tell how much work he has to do every day. He only knows that he and his brother will get up and get busy just after dawn, unlike those practitioners who work hard. There are magic spells to help from time to time, and blessings depend on two hands. Naturally, so many spiritual fields cannot be taken care of, so I can do as much as I can. After the thirty water tanks are full of water, I have to chop firewood again. , Ten bundles of grounding, and then weeding, plowing, watering, often it is dark after busy work.

But what comforts Jiaci is that although he has done a lot of things, his physical strength has also grown a lot, and his strength has also increased.When I am tired from work, I can sit on the ground and rest for a while, and then I can walk like flying. I can carry four buckets on my thin shoulders and run without panting at all, and the water will not spill. It is both bitter and happy.

But compared to his ease, the elder brother who has no strength to protect his body seems very tired. Jiaci sees that he can basically do everything by himself, but even so, the accumulation of chores is still Jiaci and Chang Wang had no time to deal with it.I knew in my heart that it shouldn't go on like this, and I would only exhaust my brother and myself to death in the end, but you want Jiaci to run in front of those people with righteous words and yell at them "I don't do it anymore", but Jiaci dare not, he This person has little experience and little courage. How can he dare to yell at those people who have eyes on their heads when they see thieves in the market without making a sound.

What should I do if I can't resist?

Bear with it.

Fortunately, Jiaci still has a helper, and that helper is none other than Yu Miao.

Why is Yu Miao willing to help Jiaci over and over again? One of them is of course because he is kind, but there is another point... Yu Miao is also cowardly. He is even more cowardly than Jiaci. Staring at him and crying, he doesn't look like a boy, he's just a pitiful person, if he doesn't bully him, he bullies anyone.

It is probably because of this kind of sympathy that Yu Miao can understand Jiaci's situation especially, and he will come to help him whenever he has free time on weekdays.

But he only works alone, even if he exerts all his strength, the effect is very limited, sometimes his eyes are red with exhaustion, not to mention how desolate, besides, those seniors who are busy with big things often let Yu Miao go Run some other jobs for them, which can barely even give the blessings of the gift.

It was as if at this moment, the two of them finally worked together to water an orchard, and when they turned around, they saw two people in light blue robes coming from afar.

Seeing them, Yu Miao quickly put down the bucket and said hello: "Senior brother Yue, brother Liang."

Chang Jiaci also quietly lowered his head.

Senior Brother Yue is tall, he stepped forward two steps, looked down at Yu Miao and asked with a smile, "Little Junior Brother, why are you here?"

Yu Miao Na Na: "I... I am watering."

"Watering? But I remember that this is not your job today. Have you sorted the remaining spiritual grains in the warehouse?" Another brother Liang also asked.

Seeing Yu Miao faltering, Brother Liang sternly sternly.

"Little brother, how many times have I told you that on the third day of each month, the Ministry of the Moon will send people to check the amount of spiritual fruits in the Linggu of the Ministry of Water, and each person must sort them clearly and record them in the account every day. No one should be lazy. If something goes wrong, the relevant disciples of the month will be punished by the master. Why can’t you figure out which errand is the most important and which is the least? You run very hard because you don’t know where you are. .”

After being scolded for no reason, Yu Miao's eyes immediately turned red.

"I...brother, I have already counted all the spiritual fruits in the Linggu, and the accounts have been reconciled...I just want...to help Jiaci..."

Listening to the trembling explanation, the expressions of the two people on the opposite side were not so good, nor did they wrong others' debts.Senior Brother Yue just nodded casually, then cast a disdainful glance at Chang Jiaci, and said, "The senior brothers are just worried that you will suffer a disadvantage. I'm really afraid that if senior brother doesn't look at you, one day you will be kicked out like that Shen, oh, no, I'm afraid you don't have that ability."

As if they had told a funny joke, the two senior brothers looked at each other and sneered a few times, then felt that Yu Miao was so free, so they might as well do more work, and set aside another piece of land for him to work with Jiaci in the future.Then he swung his sleeves and swept into the spiritual orchard, leaving only the two poor, cowardly and dumb teenagers looking at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Jiaci asked softly, "Who is the surname Shen?"

Yu Miao opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Jiaci recalled it by herself: "Is that man called Shen Xixiu?" It was the man who was tied up and thrown on the ground when he first arrived at Qinghe Gate. Jiaci had a very deep memory of him.

Seeing that Yu Miao was about to burst into tears, Jiaci's mouth became more and more chaotic: "That man...that man killed the big monster in our village, he can be regarded as my savior, he is not a bad person, um... "

In the end, Yu Miao covered his mouth when he was half-speaking.

"Don't talk nonsense! He's a bad guy!"

Jiaci's eyes widened with a strange expression on his face.

Yu Miao understood the emotion in his eyes, shook his head nervously and said: "His matter... I don't know, I was in the gate not long ago, and he was kicked out by then, so...don't mention him casually." , and don't ask others. The master said, he is a disgrace to our Qinghemen..."

After confirming that Chang Jiaci nodded again and again, Yu Miao slowly let go of him.

Chang Jiaci touched his sore mouth, turned around and saw the large unwatered spiritual field added in the distance, while lamenting, he couldn't help thinking of that tall figure in his mind.

... When will this day be the end?

Most of the palaces inside the Qinghe Gate stand on the edge of the cliffs. Looking from a distance, they are precipitous and magnificent, surrounded by clouds, just like a palace in a fairy mountain.Among them, the stone house where the door master Dong Qinghe lives is the highest peak, with green pines standing tall and quiet.

It's just that there is a cliff behind the residence, the place below the cliff is far less peaceful and clear than other places, the place is overgrown with weeds, deserted and drowsy, and only a breath of sky light falls miserably, stealing a bit of brightness.

And this place is the back mountain inside the gate, where the Qinghe Gate is used to detain disciples who have made mistakes.

Dong Qinghe stopped in front of a stone gate in the back mountain, and said to Qingyi Qingyue and the two servants behind him: "You two are waiting here, I will go back as soon as I go."

"Yes, Sect Master."

The stone gate rose slowly in front of him, and Dong Qinghe walked inward with his hands behind his hands in the blackness, and came to a stone room after passing through several zigzag caves.The room is a little crude, with only a stone bed and a stone table, a candle is flickering on the table, and a lifeless man is lying on the bed.

As if sensing a movement, the man opened his eyes faintly. When he saw the person by the door, his gaze moved. Before he could say a weak "Master", he swallowed it back stiffly before he could think of something.

Dong Qinghe stepped forward slowly, and with a flick of his sleeves, there was a stone bench next to the bed. He lifted his robe and sat down, glanced at the wounded man, and asked, "Is it better?"

Shen Yuanxiu had already washed off the blood stains on his face, revealing his next heroic face.He nodded to Dong Qinghe: "It's much better, thank you...thank you, Master Dongmen." I don't know whether it was because of internal injuries or changing the name that caused his mood swings, and he couldn't help coughing violently as soon as he spoke. .

Dong Qinghe said: "I still need to rest more."

But Shen Yuanxiu struggled to get up: "I know what the East Gate Master came to mean, I just want to say, whether you believe me or not, the murderous beast in Changjia Village has nothing to do with me."

Dong Qinghe looked at his pale face and sighed: "I understand, I believe you."
