() On the lush green path, Ling Chen and his senior brother named Nai Er looked left and right, marveling at the changing scenery around them.
"Hey, junior brother, look, the one here has turned purple again..."
Ling Chen's eyes drifted towards the direction of Nai'er's finger, and he noticed that the color of the woods on the right turned green for a while and then turned into various other colors, which was very strange.
"ignorance"
A few pairs of inner disciples walked sparsely along the green path, looking at Ling Chen and Nai Er with contemptuous eyes like ants.
Well, the exclaimed Nai Er pulled Ling Chen's sleeves, lowered his head and moved out of the way, allowing these two arrogant inner disciples to pass by.
Ling Chen silently watched the retreating figures of the two disciples wearing gorgeous inner sect costumes, and calmed down in his heart. Now he is indeed an ant-like existence in the eyes of these superior inner sect disciples. What can he do if he doesn't give way?
?
"Hey, let's go, junior brother! Don't get into trouble this time. They are noble inner disciples. They can strangle us to death with just a few fingers."
Nai Er sighed impatiently, lowered his head and asked Ling Chen to walk up the mountain with him...
Ling Chen nodded and followed Nai Er, but the two of them were no longer in the mood to admire the strange scenery in the inner gate along the way.
Climbing up the white, clean white jade steps, Ling Chen and the two stood at the entrance to the auxiliary courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Looking at the handyman disciple cleaning leaves by the door, the two people quickly stepped forward and asked;
"Senior Brother, may I ask where Master Mu Jin and Master Ling Yu recruit servant disciples?"
The handyman disciple who stopped looked up and saw the guy who was also a handyman, and immediately became enthusiastic and said;
"The two junior brothers are going to sign up. I advise the two junior brothers not to go. Senior Uncle Mu Jin and Senior Uncle Ling Yu are like immortal beings. A few days ago, many disciples of the Military Academy retired from the mountain sadly.
Come down. It is said that the two master uncles must meet certain conditions to recruit handymen. Yesterday, there were many outer disciples who wanted to climb up to the top. No! They have to retreat like our disciples from the handyman academy."
Nai Er looked at the senior brother holding the broom in doubt and said;
"Senior brother, don't scare us. We also want to go up there and try our luck. It's better than working hard all day in the yard."
"Come on, I won't hit you anymore. I'll tell you the location. Just go up and try your luck. Up here are the residences of the inner disciples of each faction. The locations of Master Mu Jin and Master Ling Yu are through the inner gate above.
In the community where disciples live, go up the mountainside from the back. When you get to the top of the mountain, you can see the residence of Master Mujin."
"Uh" Ling Chen looked up and looked at the lofty buildings above. There was a quiet path on the left side of the building leading to the back...
"Okay, thank you, senior brother. Let's go first. We have to sign up early." Nai Er thanked the senior brother who continued to sweep the floor.
"It's okay, you go and sign up first. If you are selected, don't forget me, senior brother." He smiled and waved to Ling Chen and the other two who looked back while sweeping the floor. Then the senior brother bent over and swept up the ground with a 'sand'.
The leaves are coming.
"Let's go, I must go up and try it today." Nai Er looked at the top of the mountain covered by rich green shade with a determined face.
Ling Chen also looked up longingly at the top of the mountain beyond the green leaves above his head. It would be best to work as a handyman in the inner gate. Maybe he could get the elixir given by his uncles then. I heard that there were many handymen's houses in the past.
By receiving rewards from inner disciples and uncles, the disciples were given elixirs and were able to break through to the spirit-gathering stage and break away from the lowly courtyard of the Miscellaneous Yard.
Although Ling Chen did not expect to receive any gifts from his uncles, if he could find a leisurely job in the inner sect, it would at least be of great help to his half-disabled body.
After passing through this intersection, the splendid Qiong Tower is located behind the white jade gate in front of you. The gorgeous Qiong Tower and jade buildings inside are located in patches among the green shades, which is quite powerful.
Ling Chen compared the magnificently decorated attic in front of him with the handyman's yard under the outer gate, and found that there was a huge difference. This was the black world where strength was respected, a true black world.
"Let's go, junior brother." Nai Er also looked at the huge and majestic white jade gate with envy, and pulled Ling Chen through the intersection on the left and turned into the path leading to the back mountain.
Walking on the path with fallen leaves flying, withered yellow leaves piled up on the entire path cut by piles of gray stone slabs. Ling Chen moved his slight steps and stepped on the withered yellow leaves, and there were bursts of "squeaking" sounds.
It sounds unique.
While looking at the red roses blooming on both sides of the path, Ling Feng couldn't help but pick one up and bring it to the tip of his nose, smelling the faint fragrance of the roses and feeling the elegance that poured into his heart.
"Junior brother, you are quite good at appreciating flowers. Look how intoxicated you are." Nai Er also picked a bright red flower and took a deep breath. Apart from the ordinary floral fragrance, he really
I can't sense anything.
"Flowers, you have to kiss them with all your heart, so that you can smell the most beautiful fragrance of flowers." Faint words came from the corner of the intoxicated Ling Chen's mouth. The strange thing was that he himself didn't know why he said these words.
I carefully recalled what I said just now, and I think it makes sense, but I just can't remember the feeling I just had. What's going on?
Suspicious, Nai Er gently placed the flower against his chest and kissed it carefully as Ling Chen said. However, after a long time, Nai Er still only smelled the same flower fragrance as before, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Looking at the depressed Nai Er, Ling Chen smiled and said slowly;
"Come on, I'm not here to see the flowers. Why are you discussing these flowers?"
"But, junior brother, why can't I smell the state you were in just now? It's so depressing..."
Ling Chen put his right hand on Nai Er's shoulder, looked at the bright rose flowers behind him, and smiled without saying a word.
The two of them then walked towards the back hill, but their backs, arms around each other, looked so upright in the sea of rich floral fragrance.
"Brother, the residences of Uncle Mu Jin and Uncle Ling Yu are quite remote. Others live in the lively and gorgeous front mountain. Although the back mountain is beautiful, there are not many people there, and the residence is not that good either.
"
After a while, Ling Chen and Nai Er walked out of the flower sea path and looked at the dozen or so wooden houses standing sparsely on the back mountain.
Nai Er looked at the back mountain and said in agreement;
"That's fine, but I heard that some inner sect disciples with advanced cultivation need this kind of elegant and quiet place to understand the great path.
Some elders of the inner sect have even been meditating for decades. The flowers and plants around them are submerged all over their bodies and they cannot move. Others should not disturb them. Maybe what they are disturbing is a breakthrough in the great avenue, which cannot be careless."
"Oh." Ling Chen nodded and looked at the back mountain. It was said to be the back mountain, but it was actually not steep. It was just a little quieter. It was isolated from the noise and bustle of the front mountain and had more of the tranquility and peace of nature.
The two of them followed the trail to a triangular intersection and looked at the direction marked by the wooden sign on the intersection. Ling Chen and the others learned that there were dozens of inner disciples of the Qing cultivator in the back mountain, and Master Uncle Mu Jin was there.
The residence is marked on the gravel path on the left.
Along this path paved with small stones, and through the purple bamboo forest in front, you can see Uncle Hibiscus's wooden house.
Ling Chen and the two walked along the path, and within a quarter of an hour, they arrived at this stunningly beautiful purple bamboo forest.
It is said that this purple bamboo forest has the effect of gathering spiritual energy. All the monks who practice next to the purple bamboo forest have improved their cultivation level faster than those who meditate in ordinary places. And it is not even a little faster. Sometimes people meditate for three months.
You can exceed the meditation time of three months in just one month.
After hearing about the wonderful effects of the purple bamboo forest, many disciples from the Servant Academy came to sign up. Ling Chen and Nai Er saw several men standing under the purple bamboo forest from a distance, including those from the Servant Academy and those from the outer sect.
, almost five or six people.
The two came to the fence surrounding the purple bamboo forest and watched silently as the two women were talking to the many registered disciples in front of them...
Ling Chen was surprised to find that the woman in green among them was the one he met in the square in the morning. She had an extremely beautiful face and a face that almost suffocated the man she saw at first sight. Although she could only see the side profile, she could not deny it.
At this moment, the seriousness and meticulous expression of the woman in green clothes looked particularly heart-warming.
At this moment, she was carefully explaining something to the serious-looking applicants in front of her... The woman in Tsing Yi turned her head slightly as if she noticed something, and looked into the eyes of Ling Chen, who was wearing handyman clothes outside the bamboo fence.
, In an instant, Ling Chen felt that he had fallen, not because of the alluring face of the woman in green clothes, but because of the extremely serious expression remaining on the woman in green clothes at this moment, which deeply attracted Ling Chen's eyes.
Well, she nodded gently to the two people outside the bamboo fence, and the woman in green continued to explain to the people in front of her how to care for the purple bamboo forest and take care of it regularly.
"Okay, you all understand. If you can do what I just said, you can stay and try it out for a while. You only have one chance. If you don't think about it, you can come next time."
"Uh." Everyone in front of the woman in green, look at me! I look at you. They didn't hear what they were talking about when they were distracted. They were all stunned now.
"Uncle Mu, I think it's better not to waste this opportunity. I'll come next time..."
After a while, as the people in front took the lead, everyone behind them all left in a perfunctory way...
"Junior sister, look at all these people staring at us. I'm afraid that what you said so earnestly just now has been forgotten long ago." The woman in blue on the side looked at the people leaving in a hurry and said to the woman in green unhappily.
The woman in blue squinted at Ling Chen and the two outside the bamboo fence, whispered something in the ear of the woman in blue, then opened the small door of the bamboo fence with a smile, faced Ling Chen and the two and asked;
"What's the matter with you two?"
Nai Er looked at the two women who were as beautiful as angels with excitement, and said with trembling lips;
"I...we are here...to sign up"
"Why are you so stammering when you speak? You can't speak properly." The woman in blue is no weaker in appearance than the woman in green. Seeing the excited Nai Er, she said dissatisfiedly.
Ling Chen awkwardly patted Nai Er on the back, looked at the two junior uncles face to face with embarrassment, and said;
"Uncle, don't be offended. Senior brother, he was just excited for a moment."
"Pfft" the woman in blue chuckled, suppressing her laughter and looking at the embarrassed Ling Chen and the two.
The woman in green clothes gently pushed the indecent woman in blue clothes, and then said to Ling Chen in front of her;
"Then come in and talk."
"Uh" Entering the purple bamboo forest, Ling Chen felt the aura of heaven and earth around him change, as if it was speeding up and entering his body.
The woman in green clothes closed the small bamboo fence door and introduced;
"This person next to me is your Uncle Ling Yu. You can call me Uncle Mu."
"What are you two here to sign up for? Are you Uncle Ling's Yaopu or the guards of Zizhu Forest?" Uncle Mu Jin asked Ling Chen.
"Well, I just don't know if there are any physical requirements here." Ling Chen bit his lip and looked at his hands.
Gently stroking a strand of black hair that was floating on his cheek, Master Mu Jin carefully looked at the ordinary handyman disciple in front of him.
"Hey, his hand muscles and knees were seriously injured, and his hands were almost disabled." Master Ling Yu on the side looked at the calm expression of the handyman disciple in front of him in surprise.
"Uncle, how do you know?" Nai Er stared blankly at the two immortal-looking uncles in front of him.
Uncle Ling Yu on the side looked at this seemingly ordinary handyman with confusion. There was no change in his calm face, but there was a deep impatience between his brows on his slightly heroic face.
Ling Yu still noticed it and looked at the handyman in front of him in confusion;
"How did your hand tendons and knees get injured? Why did you, a disciple of the Commissary Yard, suffer such serious injuries?"
After repeated questions, Ling Chen's head hurt. He could only squat on the ground holding his head in pain, trying to recall the past memories.
Nai Er, who was on the side, saw his junior brother's uncomfortable look and hurriedly lifted Ling Chen's shoulders and asked worriedly;
"Junior brother, how are you?"
Hibiscus also frowned slightly and lowered her head to look at Ling Chen who was squatting on the ground.
"Junior sister, help him in. His limbs are so seriously injured and he is still in the courtyard," Ling Yu said with a somewhat sympathetic tone.
"What's your name? Help your junior brother up quickly and follow me to the house." Mu Jin asked Nai Er on the ground.
When Nai Er heard his uncle ask his name, he immediately helped Ling Chen up from the ground and said excitedly;
"Uncle, my name is Nai Er, and my junior brother's name is Ling Chen. The two of us came to the inner sect with our senior brothers to try our luck to see if we can find a job. But my junior brother has health problems and he had to work early in the morning.
Come with me to clean the playground, ugh"
"Stop talking so much. Quickly help your junior brother walk to the front of the bamboo forest. There are two wooden houses not far away. You can help him in first and we will arrive later." Hibiscus who had just finished speaking was pulled aside by Ling Yu.
Ling Yu frowned slightly and whispered;
"Junior sister, why did this boy suffer such serious injuries in the handyman's yard? Just now I used my spiritual energy to detect the boy's body and found that my spiritual energy could not heal the boy's damaged tendon at all. It was rebounded by a mysterious energy.
