Chapter 5: Past events, sadness
Soon, noon had arrived.
I returned along the mountain road, and there were no tragic figures on the road, so I probably had already gone to the spiritual kitchen.
Chu Yuan took the Qingxu step at a very fast speed. It was only half a stick of incense to reach the spiritual kitchen from the mountain road.
At this time, the serious disciples had already started to make fire and cook.
Chu Yuan stepped into it, and many disciples saluted.
It is obvious that after he defeated Li Chun, he had already received the treatment of the Child King in the Servant Area. Some disciples dodged their eyes when they saw him, and they no longer looked arrogant.
The strong prey on the weak,
This is an unchanging rule.
He was in a good mood, and these were obtained by strength. After all, everything was inseparable from the word "strength".
His eyes swept over Song Peng, and Chu Yuan withdrew his eyes as usual.
"Senior Brother Chu Yuan, why not let me go and send it to you?"
“No need.”
Seeing the eyes of some mail disciples, Chu Yuan waved his hand and said, "I have something to discuss with you. Let's wait a moment, and you'll come."
After saying that, wind blew under Chu Yuan's feet and ran towards the outer door.
Looking at his back, the disciples of the serious servants had envy and admiration in their eyes, and their emotions were complicated.
"Senior Brother Chu Yuan has improved so quickly."
"Yes, I think Senior Brother Chu Yuan's speed at entering the outer door must be faster than Li Chun."
"Shh, don't let Li Chun hear this."
…
…
After arriving at the outer sect, a female disciple was already waiting.
The girl was wearing a green brocade robe, wrapped in her graceful body, without any makeup, and stood there like a blooming beautiful flower.
"Chu Yuan?"
The girl's pink lips lightly opened, and a look of surprise flashed in her bright eyes, and a touch of complexity.
His eyes raised slightly, and the girl's delicate pretty face immediately evoked the memories deep in her mind.
The "Xiangyang Village" is more than ten miles west of Ziyang Sect. It is the village he grew up with and the village of the girl in front of him.
My childhood playmates once laughed together, and I don’t know when they became unfamiliar.
After joining Ziyang Sect, he practiced with all his heart. Today, the status of the two is very different, one is a servant and the other is an outer disciple.
The former feels in memory, the village flowers that the cowherd admires.
Chu Yuan knew in his heart that it was not his own feeling. The feeling in his heart was like a mud cow entering the sea, and soon it was sealed into the deepest part.
"Li Zijue...Senior Sister."
"Um."
Li Zijue nodded slightly and smiled, "Chu Yuan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"yes."
After the words fell, Chu Yuan was no longer disturbed by his predecessor's emotions and did not ask about his well-being. The two chatted a few times, and he ended the topic.
"Senior sister, I still have to go down the mountain to practice and say goodbye."
As he said that, he carried the shoulder pole and went down the mountain without looking back.
Looking at his back, the complexity in Li Zijue's eyes also dissipated, and his childhood had passed.
…
…
Returning to the servile labour area, several servile labourers have been waiting for a long time.
"Senior Brother Chu Yuan."
"Senior Brother, you are back. When you enter the outer sect, you don't have to look at the faces of the outer sect disciples."
"I wonder why senior brother is going to discuss with us?"
Several servants were standing in the courtyard, and the other servants had dispersed.
Chu Yuan stepped forward and looked at everyone and said, "Dear brothers, tomorrow is when resources are distributed. You also know that the servile disciples have very few resources. With the daily work, there is almost no hope of returning to the inner sect. I have a suggestion here."
"Senior brother, please tell me."
The servants met each other and looked confused.
Chu Yuan said with a serious expression: "I am responsible for helping you clean the mountain roads and wash the laundry. You can divide me into your resources with a Yuan stone or a Body Tempering Pill. Before I break through, you don't need to do these miscellaneous tasks. What do you think?"
"So that's the matter."
One of the serious servants walked out, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
"Senior Brother Chu Yuan, resources are very important to any disciple, but we are not good at it. There is no hope of entering the outer sect. I will go down the mountain in a few months. Since my senior brother speaks, the Yuan stone and body-tempering pill will be given to my senior brother, helping me catch up and also helping us servants to breathe a sigh of relief."
"Don't worry, senior brother, we will send it tomorrow's Yuanshi and Body Tempering Pill."
After leaving the spiritual kitchen, Chu Yuan's mood was also quite complicated.
The errand disciples accepted his proposal. He was responsible for cleaning the mountain roads and washing laundry. This was a considerable amount of work, but he urgently needed body tempering pills and Yuanshi, so he had to come up with this worst.
His approach was only a little polite than Li Chun.
Chu Yuan knew very well that even if he was not responsible for the miscellaneous work, he only needed one word, and these miscellaneous workers would still give him the resources.
But no matter where you are, the hardest thing to pay back is human favors.
Back in his room, Chu Yuan continued to sit cross-legged and run the "Basic Method". Compared to half a month ago, he had a clearer sense of the vitality between heaven and earth.
The higher the level of the Dharma, the higher the cultivation level, and the clearer the energy in the sensing of heaven and earth.
"After all, it is the most common method. If there are more advanced methods, it is probably easier to sense the vitality."
It pulls the vital energy into the body, flows through the limbs and bones, and after tempering the muscles, it penetrates into the dantian.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his tempering speed had become faster.
The dusk is dark and there is nothing to say all night.
In the early morning, the golden crow rose eastward, and the bright sunshine enveloped the entire mountain range. A faint mist floated on the Ziyang Sect, and the scenery was pleasant.
Inside the house, sitting cross-legged on the simple couch.
With the thin blue cloth robe, Chu Yuan could already feel a hint of morning chill.
Opening his eyes, since he broke through the second level of Qi training, his pressure suddenly decreased, and his energy became more and more concentrated. He did not feel tired after practicing overnight, but was quite comfortable. He felt a little sticky. He looked down and saw that his body was covered with a layer of gray unknown liquid at some point.
Sniffing the nose is like a rotten overnight meal...
"Is this an impurity that is excluded from my body?"
Chu Yuan was not very clear about this, but he didn't understand it at all.
I vaguely remember when I first started, the elder once said that it is a good thing to excrete impurities in the body during Qi training. Qi training is to allow monks to polish their foundation, transform themselves, and tap their own potential. As for the extent they can be tapped, it depends on the monks themselves.
He couldn't stand the smell, so he hurried to the spiritual kitchen and rinsed it.
In an instant, I felt refreshed.
It was still early, and the servile area was already cold. Chu Yuan took a broom and stepped on the bluestone road. Today, he wanted to clean up many places, including his own area in total.
Stepping on the clear and empty steps, the vital energy flows into the meridians of the legs, walking like the wind.
There was no one on the mountain road for the time being, and Chu Yuan also let himself go, holding a broom with a strange step, and every time the broom was pressed, he could take away a bunch of dead leaves.
"Elder Park's words opened a window for me. If he is not strong, how can he practice swordsmanship and other things be powerful? Just put the cart before the horse."
After half a month of practice, he felt that he had mastered himself in the second level of Qi training to a subtle state, and this feeling was beyond words.
In this regard, he called it control, controlling every inch of his muscles.
Time passed quickly, and my thoughts were moving in an instant. Half an hour passed, and there were more labourers on the mountain road.
Today, some of the errand disciples were happy and worried. The cleaning speed was very fast, and half of the area had been cleared, and there was enough time.
Moreover, he did not waste the cleaning time, and he used it to practice the Qingxu step.
It is estimated that the only one who can do this in the entire servile area is himself.
"In a few days, the leg tempering will be over. At the critical moment, Yuanshi and Body Tempering Pills must not be missing. If I can succeed, I can go to the outer door in advance."
As we look forward, time always passes slowly.
As noon arrived, the mail disciples threw down their brooms and rushed to the spiritual kitchen.
The spiritual kitchen was full of words, and as the elder arrived, Elder Park was very serious and had hardly seen him speak much on weekdays.
After the resources were released, some disciples were very happy, while others sighed bitterly.
Chu Yuan also got eleven Yuan stones and eight body quenching pills as he wished, including the cleaning fee given to him by seven servants.
He could vaguely realize the sadness, bitterness and helplessness of the servants at that time.
"Chuyuan!"
Staring at the thin figure, Li Chun gritted his teeth.
