The study and practice of all courses and subjects in Lingtian Academy are arranged by you without any compulsion. As long as the money you earn on Qianlong Island can afford the monthly fee of 30 gold coins,
You can just treat Lingtian Yuan as a high-end island hotel for the rest of your life. Of course, if you want to leave Qianlong Island at will before completing the courses and training subjects here, that is a delusion.
In Lingtianyuan, in addition to studying and practicing, there are also some mandatory and optional family tasks to complete. Some of these family tasks allow you to earn money, and some allow people to earn family contribution points.
, some are both. Many family tasks even require you to return to land to complete. This is also one of the opportunities for Lingtianyuan students to leave Qianlong Island in an upright manner.
Almost all missions that require leaving the island are generally very difficult, and some are even very dangerous. Two-thirds of the family members who died during their training at Lingtian Academy died while performing missions off the island.
Lingtianyuan is a school, an army and a furnace. This place has a free and relaxed side, but it also has a strong and iron-blooded side. The temperature here can make you sublime, but it may also turn you into residue and charcoal.
If you don’t want to become dregs and ash, the only thing you can do here is to work hard, work hard, and work harder, and keep gritting your teeth to make yourself stronger, stronger, and stronger. There is no other way.
On the first night when he came to Lingtian Courtyard, Zhang Tie, as a newcomer, received his first mandatory mission in Lingtian Courtyard. When Zhang Tie was in the room, someone directly handed over the first mission to Lingtian Courtyard.
The mission letter was delivered to his room.
This mandatory task is a bit funny. It actually asks Zhang Tie to clean the house. The task lasts for a week and can earn 5 family contribution points. This is the first lesson for every newcomer who enters Lingtian Courtyard.
At first, Zhang Tie also thought this task was a bit funny. But soon, Zhang Tie stopped laughing because the place that Zhang Tie needed to clean was the Ying Ji Pavilion in Lingtian Courtyard.
The Pavilion of Sacrifice to Heroes is an ancestral hall in Lingtian Courtyard, where all the family members who have sacrificed or died while practicing in Lingtian Courtyard since the establishment of Qianlong Hall are commemorated and enshrined here.
Early the next morning, according to the prescribed time, at six o'clock in the morning, when it was just dawn, Zhang Tie came to Jiying Pavilion, this place. There was only an elderly man watching the door. After Zhang Tie arrived
, the old man took Zhang Tie into the Jiying Pavilion.
As soon as he entered the Ying Ji Pavilion, what Zhang Tie saw was densely packed with spiritual tablets, which made Zhang Tie's scalp feel numb.
"Jiying Pavilion opens at nine o'clock every morning and closes at nine o'clock in the evening. Therefore, you have to come early for cleaning in the morning, at least three hours in advance. Jiying Pavilion has three floors. There are a total of 1,183 spiritual tablets enshrined in it. You need to clean the upper and lower three floors.
The floor, railings, windows, and memorial platform should all be cleaned, and every memorial tablet should be wiped clean. You also need to clean it again after closing here at night! After you finish cleaning, I will come to check if it is not clean.
Do it again! If you encounter someone coming to worship during the opening hours of the Ying Sacrifice Pavilion, you should always pay attention to keeping this place clean..." The old man took Zhang Tie around the Ying Sacrifice Pavilion and explained to Zhang Tie how to clean it.
What should you pay attention to regarding hygiene here?
Finally, after leading Zhang Tie to the cleaning tool room and explaining the uses of those tools, the old man sighed, "Well, the latest spiritual tablet was added just two months ago.
These young people..." After saying this, the old man shook his head and left, leaving the Ying Ji Pavilion to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie suppressed the emotions in his heart and started cleaning the sacrificial pavilion. Although he had killed people and seen blood on the battlefield before, he was cleaning here, especially when wiping the spiritual tablets.
Looking at the black and white photos of young people on those stone spiritual tablets, Zhang Tie still felt a little fuzzy in his heart.
On the front of each spiritual tablet, there is a photo and a name, and on the back of the spiritual tablet, there is a brief introduction to the life of the person in the photo. A few lines of text outline a person's life - who are his parents?
, what year did he enter Qianlong Hall, what kind of deeds did he have, and why did he die young in the end.
Everyone has curiosity. After the feeling of hairiness in his heart slowly disappears, Zhang Tie can't help but take a look at the life introduction and cause of death of the person behind the soul tablet every time he wipes a soul tablet. Those engraved on the soul tablet
Unless you don't want to read it, you will inevitably see it during the wiping process.
The more he rubbed the spiritual tablets, the more he saw. Gradually, Zhang Tie felt an emotion well up in his heart that he didn't even know what it was like.
Those who died may have had different lives when they were alive, but in the end they all fell silent. The reasons for their passing were also strange and sad.
Some people are geniuses who awaken several ancestral bloodlines at a young age. They advance to the tenth level at the age of seventeen or eighteen and become strong warriors. However, in the end, they fail to listen to others' advice during the training process and forcefully try to break through.
At a certain point in his cultivation, he finally went crazy and vomited blood and died.
Some people with ordinary qualifications came to Qianlong Hall, but because they could not bear the pressure here, they were slowly left behind by others. They complained about themselves all day long and did not think about making progress. In the end, they died of worry.
Some people overestimate their own strength when they choose to accept a family mission, and end up dying during the execution of the mission because of their insufficient strength.
Some people are actually merciless and indecisive when performing certain special tasks. After sparing the enemy's life, they are killed by the enemy.
Some people died in accidents due to carelessness while performing ordinary tasks.
Some people had grudges with others before coming to Qianlong Hall, and eventually died at the hands of their enemies.
Some people, after coming to Qianlong Hall to cultivate for several years, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and they are satisfied with their ambitions. They go home to meet their former partners and show off. Finally, after getting drunk, they are plotted and killed by jealous people among their former partners.
Some people in the Qianlong Hall relied on their extraordinary family status to bully their junior fellow students, and were eventually killed by deliberate mistakes during sparring.
Some people, young and old, violated the rules of Qianlong Hall and sold information about Lingtian Court under the temptation of outsiders, and were eventually expelled from the house.
Some people were trapped by the love between men and women in Lingtian Court, and finally committed suicide.
Some people don't even have a death certificate written on their soul tablets. They just disappear after entering the underground world or going on a diving adventure in the sea one day, and have never been seen again...
…
After wiping those spiritual tablets over and over again, Zhang Tie broke out in cold sweat. Those 1,183 spiritual tablets were simply a textbook written by 1,183 living lives to tell you how to leave Qianlong Hall alive. Zhang Tie finally knew
Why are there not so many clear rules and precepts in Lingtian Courtyard? Why is the first task I received after entering Lingtian Courtyard is to clean this place? Because all the clear rules and precepts in Lingtian Courtyard are dedicated to the Ying Pavilion. Every spiritual tablet here,
Every name, every story, is a mirror for you to reflect on what you have done.
In the next week, Zhang Tie basically spent time in the Jiying Pavilion. He came here at six o'clock every morning to start cleaning, and after the place closed at nine o'clock in the evening, he cleaned it again carefully.
Just returned to Songtao Pavilion. Most of the time during the day, when no one came to worship, Zhang Tie stayed in Jiying Pavilion and stared at the spiritual tablets, thinking about the stories he saw on the spiritual tablets.
After those lessons, I couldn't help but ask myself - if I were in that situation, would I have made the same mistake? Why would I make such a mistake? How can I not make such a mistake?
This is a process of constant torture and reflection on one's own heart. Every day, although it seems extremely boring to outsiders to stay alone in such a gloomy place, Zhang Tie still gains different things every day. From such torture and
During the introspection, Zhang Tie found that his mind had become more clear and harmonious, and his whole character had matured a big step.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye...
On the night before he finally left Jiying Pavilion, Zhang Tie carefully cleaned and wiped every corner and every spiritual tablet in Jiying Pavilion, arranged his clothes, washed his hands, and lit three sticks.
After bowing three times to the spiritual tablets on the first floor, he inserted the lit incense into the incense stand.
"Brothers and sisters, I have been here with you for a week and will not come tomorrow. Thank you all for your teachings to Zhang Tie these days. This place is not big enough. Zhang Tie promises that he will never come here to compete with you in the future.
That’s it, Zhang Tie will definitely come back to give you some more paper money during the holidays, so that you can have a lot of gold coins to spend wherever you go.”
"The boy is teachable!"
A voice sounded from behind Zhang Tie. The old gatekeeper of Jiying Pavilion, who had fallen asleep long ago at this time, unexpectedly came behind Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie turned around and saw the old man who looked a little rickety stroking his beard.
Smile to yourself.
"Boy, your consciousness is good and your conscience is not bad. If you encounter difficulties in the future, come here and have a look. Think about it quietly. Except for death, there is no major difficulty in the world. As long as people live, there will be solutions and hope.
If you are really going to die, then there is no point in saying anything..." The old man looked at Zhang Tie, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Tie gently.
"Yes, I remember!"
"Well, let's go back. We won't be here tomorrow and it's getting late. Let's go to bed early!" The old man said, patted Zhang Tie on the shoulder three times, then turned and left.
…
When Zhang Tie returned to his residence in Songtao Tower, it was almost 12 o'clock. After washing up, Zhang Tie lay on the bed and went to sleep. He had just slept for a while. For some reason, Zhang Tie suddenly remembered what that guy Tang De had told him before.
There is a fairy tale. The protagonist of that fairy tale is a monkey. It is said that when the monkey went to learn a skill, the fairy master also knocked it on the head three times. Then the monkey was blessed and understood the meaning of those three blows.
, so he quietly went to find his immortal master at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and sure enough he got the true message.
Could it be that the old man patted himself three times on the shoulder just now meant this? Thinking of this, Zhang Tie suddenly lost all sleep. Could it be that the old man was some kind of outsider hidden in Qianlong Hall? He patted himself three times just because he wanted to know more about it.
Are you as smart as a monkey?
After sleeping until about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Zhang Tie got up from the bed, got dressed, and with a hint of excitement, he quietly came to Jiying Pavilion in the dark a few minutes early.
Zhang Tie was drying outside Jiying Pavilion for a long time, and listened to the chirping of insects for a long time, but there was no movement. Finally, he couldn't help but go outside the hut where the old man slept. After listening carefully, he found that the old man's snores were rhythmic one after another in the hut.
Zhang Tie stood stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled dumbly, returned to Songtao Pavilion and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Zhang Tie woke up, took his family disc and rushed to Ling Tian on the second floor of the Zhongbao.
Academy mission release center.
In the past few days, because this mandatory task occupied all of Zhang Tie's daytime time, Zhang Tie's plan to evolve his ancestral bloodline was delayed. Once this task was completed, Zhang Tie's time became relatively free and relaxed.
He felt that it was time to find time for his ancestral bloodline to complete the evolution. Zhang Tie was full of expectations for this evolution... (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
