After explaining a little to the children about the situation of Chaoyang Peak, the elders of the inner hall took them to a side hall in this "Chaoyang Lower Courtyard". The steward in charge of this side hall smiled very affectionately when he saw the elder of the inner hall coming over: "Elder Shen, have you come to assign the residence of the new children?" ”

The elder of the inner hall was not polite to the new disciple about this steward, but only nodded and said, "There are ten people in total." Two qualifications are lower, one qualification is lower, and the rest are lower. You register first. ”

The steward hurriedly took out a palm-sized booklet with the years of the last ten years. He opened the booklet, wrote down the names and qualifications of Liu Yu and the others, and then took out a palm-sized jade talisman and pressed it on each name before putting it away.

Everyone was very surprised when they saw the jade talisman passing by, and their names emitted a little white light, and they felt even more that the methods of the Qingyun Immortal Sect were mastered.

Only then did the steward smile and say, "It's written." ”

Elder Shen brought Chu Tianxiang and another person with middle and lower qualifications forward, and said to the steward: "I will take these two people to the C Academy for cultivation, and you will take them to the D Yuan with the qualifications." For the rest of the dozen, it's up to them to assign tasks depending on the situation. ”

The steward pulled the subordinate disciples to his side, and said to Elder Shen repeatedly: "Please rest assured, Elder Shen, I will definitely do this little thing." ”

Liu Yu and the other six subordinate qualifications were left in place like this, and the steward directly handed them over to a young man with a big black mole on his face who came out of the back, but he walked out of the hall with inferior qualifications.

The rest of the people were all qualified, except for Liu Yu who deliberately pretended to be nervous on his face, the other six were just teenagers, and when they saw that the attitude of the steward had become so indifferent, they felt afraid. And the future is unpredictable, and there is more sadness than fear.

Although the young man with the mole was not good-looking, he was unexpectedly good-looking. He saw that several people had ugly faces, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, you are new to the city, and the task will not be too heavy." ”

A young boy panicked and asked, "Yes, what is the mission?" ”

The young man with a mole said in a very gentle tone: "I'll first introduce you to the basic situation of our Qingyun Immortal Gate Chaoyang Lower Courtyard, and then I'll talk about it carefully." You have to listen carefully to what I am saying. ”

Several people nodded their heads again and again. It turns out that as long as you have a spiritual root, you are eligible to enter the inner hall, but this is also to be divided into three, six, nine and so on. The most special nature is the Chaoyang Peak, usually only monks who have reached the foundation building period and above are allowed to enter the mountain to cultivate. Those who are qualified or above at the time of entering the door can make an exception to enter. In addition to Chaoyang Peak, those with below average qualifications are concentrated in this "Chaoyang Lower Courtyard".

It's just that this "Chaoyang Lower Courtyard" is divided into four classes. Among them, the first class is called "A Yuan", and after entering the school, children with middle and upper qualifications can enter it to cultivate, and the resources provided by the door, such as elixirs, exercises, freedom, and the guidance of the elders, are all above the other branches. "Second Hospital" is second, and children with medium qualifications can enter, and the resources in all aspects are slightly inferior to that of the first hospital. By analogy, "Courtyard C" is for children with lower and middle qualifications, and "Courtyard D" is for children with lower qualifications.

And the children of inferior qualifications, they can only mingle with servants. can also learn some exercises, but only the most superficial, and the status is inferior, although nominally not called a servant, but the actual status is similar. These children either receive monthly tasks, or serve as close attendants to the elders in charge, or do chores in one place for a long time, in order to earn some spiritual resources for themselves. If it is said that the children with good qualifications are raised by the Qingyun Immortal Sect, then the children with inferior qualifications must support themselves by themselves.

After talking about the general situation, the young man with a mole smiled and asked them, "What is your choice?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the six children with subordinate qualifications had already spoken in unison: "We want to serve the steward, the elder and other nobles, please ask the steward to help arrange it." ”

The young man with a mole understood that they wanted to take the path of currying favor with the elders in charge and thinking that they were seeking a future, so he sighed secretly in his heart, but he promised in his mouth: "It's okay, I have a sign here, and the names of the stewards and elders of the servants are needed to write the book, so you can draw it yourself." ”

The six children were overjoyed, and hurriedly held a wooden cylinder handed by the young man with a mole, and went to the side to carefully select the stickers. The young man with a mole looked at Liu Yu again: "This kid didn't speak, I think there is another choice?" ”

Liu Yu lowered his head and said with sincere fear: "Chu Tianshu is not good at his ability, he is willing to do some chores to share the worries of the sect ......"

Alas, this one is even less aggressive...... The young man with a mole had no choice but to hand over a yellow booklet and said, "This is exactly where I need someone to do chores in my Chaoyang Lower Courtyard, so you can choose one yourself." ”

Liu Yu thanked him and took it to look at it seriously. Why are young people with moles so sorry? It's really because the three choices that Qingyun Xianmen gives to the children with qualifications are all exquisite. On the one hand, it is of course because of the important people in the inner hall, and on the other hand, I also want to see if these people with lower qualifications can supplement the lack of qualifications from the side.

The first choice is the most testing person, to receive the task by yourself, although it seems difficult, in fact, every task is sharpened from many places, once you survive with your own efforts during this period, the qualifications are poor, and there are many because of the determination to promote the foundation period. At that time, they will be sent directly to Chaoyang Peak to get the guidance of the elders and elixirs to cleanse their bodies and minds. In the future, the fairy fate is smooth, and it is very possible.

The second is to serve people, but where is it so easy to serve people? What's more, if it is in the hands of someone with a bad temper, it will be even more difficult to live. The children who choose this task are half and half enterprising and half greedy and half greedy. If it is the former, those who can endure humiliation and burden will not succeed in the future, and those who can bear it will be eliminated quickly, and Qingyun Immortal Sect will definitely not seek justice from the elders for the disciples with mere qualifications. Most of the latter can get by, but these people put all their minds on how to please them, so how can they practice seriously? Moreover, those who have succeeded in enduring humiliation will inevitably have some resentment in their hearts when they think of the past, and their loyalty to the sect is also low. The greedy are themselves the grass on the wall, and they will not be liked. Therefore, the people who made this second choice were actually the people who were least liked by the branches of Qingyun Immortal Sect.

The third item is chores, and most of the people who choose it are timid and passable, that is, the young man with a mole says that he is not enterprising. Although the achievements of this kind of person are extremely limited, it is also this group of people who are most worthy of trust in the sect. Because they dare not depart from the status quo, they are also honest and can contribute a lot to the sect. Therefore, although Qingyun Immortal Sect regretted that they had wasted the already meager spiritual root, it was also inseparable from the existence of this group of people.

The young man with the mole didn't think about it for long, and the six people who were picked first over there had already been selected. After asking the people they chose, the mole youths told them the route to the specific addresses of the elders in charge. The six thanked them and walked away quickly. Here, Liu Yu flipped through the yellow booklet and chose very carefully. It is true that Liu Yu has "an ulterior purpose", but he is not cowardly. It's just that he didn't have any thoughts about apprenticeship with Qingyun Xianmen earlier, and after arriving here, he felt that it was very treacherous inside, so he naturally didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

When Liu Yu entered the inner hall, he had already seen that there were various orchards, gardens, and medicine gardens here, and the scenery was very wonderful. If he chose chores, there must have been something related to them, so he chose one of them and went to live far away. Sure enough, after flipping through the yellow booklet, Liu Yu found what he was thinking, and two of them were quite in line with his heart.

One is to tending fruit trees in the orchard, which needs daily watering, fertilization, weeding and insect control, pruning and pruning...... However, there are dozens of people who do the same thing, and they are all managed by a single Xue steward.

The second is to work in the Baicao Garden, which requires tending to flowers and plants, taking care of them carefully, and taking care of all aspects. And there is only one person who does chores, and it is managed by a forest steward.

Liu Yu carefully compared the two chores, and finally chose the second one. So he handed the booklet to the young man with a mole and said, "Chu Tianshu is willing to go to the Baicao Garden to do chores. ”

When the young man with a mole saw it, he didn't say much, so he directly informed the location of Baicao Garden. After Liu Yu thanked him and left, his face showed some complicated expressions.

This matter of the Hundred Herb Garden seems to be good, but it is the territory of the forest steward. The old man had a very strange temperament, and many of his children had chosen this seemingly good errand before, but they were expelled by the old man after not staying for a few days. I don't know how long this one can last?

The young man with a mole is not optimistic, and Liu Yu knows nothing. He only followed the instructions of the young man, and walked all the way for half an hour, before finally reaching the outside of a garden. The door was not locked, but Liu Yu did not walk forward directly, he sensed the prohibition here. So he took out a wooden sign given to him by the young man who had a mole before, and sent it to the void in front of him.

When a white light flashed, Liu Yu started again, but he didn't take three or five steps before he saw an oncoming old man. Smoking dry tobacco in his mouth, stepping on straw sandals under his feet, and the clothes on his body are also very shabby, Liu Yu has never seen such an untidy character since he walked into the Qingyun Immortal Gate. He's the forest manager?

When the old man saw Liu Yu, he took a puff of cigarette and spit it out: "The new handyman? ”

It's a new kid, but it's really a miscellaneous worker, so it's not wrong...... Liu Yu saw that Steward Lin was old, so he bowed slightly and saluted, and said warmly: "Chu Tianshu has seen the steward. ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Steward Lin's eyes, he glanced Liu Yu up and down, and said, "It's not easy to do things with me, if you can't endure hardship, don't blame me for kicking you out." ”

didn't deny this title, it seems that it is indeed the forest steward. Liu Yu followed quickly, and the more he walked into the garden, the more he could feel that the air became extremely clear. Liu Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, and felt a strange fragrance, and his whole heart was comfortable. This Hundred Herb Garden is actually a medicine garden, which is specially designed for cultivating spiritual grass in the Chaoyang Peak, so the spiritual energy inside is extraordinarily sufficient, and he suddenly came in from the outside, enjoying himself.

The layout in the garden is not as atmospheric and delicate as the Chaoyang Lower Courtyard, but it looks very natural. Not a single flower, grass, soil or stone, there is no trace of a knife or an axe. When I walked along a dirt road, I saw a clear stream of water running into the distance. On both sides of the water flow, there are small flower-like spiritual fields surrounded by low stone fences, and in each place, there are green shadows and green grass.

Walking along this road, you can see a row of thatched huts, and the front rooms are either hanging with agricultural products, or placing tools, or putting medicine shelves with large dustpans for drying medicine, there are traces of people. There was only one room on the outermost side, but there was nothing outside. Walking to the row of thatched huts, Steward Lin raised his pipe, pointed to the outermost one, and said, "You can live here, there are mattresses and everything." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes." ”

Seeing that he was obedient, Steward Lin turned around: "The spiritual grass I grow here is not something that a little guy like you who doesn't know anything can move casually. He said and returned to the house leisurely, and when he came out, he already had a few thick tomes in his hand, and threw them to Liu Yu, who was waiting honestly, "Look at them first and remember them." ”

Liu Yu took it, nodded and said, "I know, Manager Lin." Glancing down at the page, he saw that the top one was the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book", which must have taught him to identify spiritual grass. To do things in this herb garden, you really can't do without it.

Seeing that he was so obedient, Steward Lin looked up to Liu Yu a little. Although he is recognized as an eccentric, he is not a very unreasonable person. The children who came before were also pampered in their respective families, and seeing that he was usually dressed shabby, they showed contempt for him as soon as they saw him, which was already a bad heart. Then he was instructed to memorize the type of spirit grass first, but he was reluctant, and he just wanted him to teach the method first, how could he not be angry if he was so lazy and unsteady?!

This newcomer looks cold and indifferent, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is willing to do things seriously. In the eyes of Lin Steward, it is basically qualified. If everything he does in the future is sincere, he will naturally pass on the method, and when the time comes, the new kid can really become the long-term "handyman" of the Baicao Garden.

In the early morning of this day, Liu Yu held a thick copy of "Summary of Danfang", walked to the side of a flat bluestone, and sat down to study it carefully. This is the third basic pharmacology book he has read, and the first two have been mastered by him during this time, which can be regarded as a lot of knowledge.

Steward Lin went to take care of the spirit grass early, leaving him here alone to study. Liu Yu was also used to it, and turned over the pages one by one, quickly writing down the formulas and effects of various pills. Recite it silently and memorize it by heart. Half an hour later, Liu Yu put down the book and stretched his body.

Steward Lin was getting up, and spent an hour in the middle to serve the spirit grass, and Liu Yu carried out the first round of ancient book recitation during this time. When the time came, Liu Yu wanted to make a few kinds of morning food and send them to Steward Lin, if Steward Lin was in a good mood, he would instruct him to identify several kinds of spiritual grass, and he would naturally have to write them down carefully. After that, Liu Yu was driven back, continued to read, prepared lunch at noon, then cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, made an hour sprinkling, and then recited, prepared dinner, washed the clothes of the two, and continued to read until Lin Steward fell asleep, and he also slept.
