Chapter 1: The Unlucky Handyman
The hundreds of millions of miles of rivers and mountains in the Tianyuan Continent are the world of warriors, and the people of the world worship the strong, resulting in fierce folk customs.
Haotian Peak in the territory of the Bauhinia Empire is the holy land of cultivation, and it is the mountain gate of the Wuwei Daoist Academy, and there are only two ways to enter the Wuwei Daoist Academy, one is to enter the gate as a handyman, and the other is to become a disciple of the Wuwei Daoist Academy.
Whenever the Wuwei Daoist Academy recruits disciples, the famous families in the empire compete to send the family disciples to the assessment, but there are very few who can be accepted by the Wuwei Daoist Academy. The main reason is that the conditions for accepting apprentices are extremely mean, and if they are not the best qualifications, they will never be accepted.
If you can't become a disciple of the sect, those with strong self-esteem will return dejectedly, and those with perseverance will sign up as a handyman, so that the elders of the sect will be happy to pass on a trick and a half.
Lin Ruo is an example of being too unlucky to be unlucky. Three years ago, when the Wuwei Daoist Academy recruited disciples, Lin Ruo took a lot of trouble to come to participate in the assessment. Unfortunately, as soon as the recruitment conference was held, a sloppy old guy who appeared in the sky said that his qualifications were not good, that he did not need to be assessed, and that he could not become a disciple of the sect, and he was forcibly brought into the mountain gate as a miscellaneous disciple.
This is not in accordance with the rules in itself, and the recruitment of disciples is reviewed by the elders; the miscellaneous servants are responsible for recruiting and arranging scheduling, but the old guy was very domineering at that time, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, he shook back the elders who came to stop him, and then clasped his nose and said, "I want this miscellaneous servant, if you are not convinced, go to Yuan Tiangang." ”
Who is Yuan Tiangang? That is the head of the Wuwei Daoist Academy, the earth-shattering giant of the cultivation world, who dares to call him by his name easily? But the sloppy old guy dares, or he dares without fear!
For the sake of a miscellaneous servant, who can go to the head of the house? Who wants to find it uncomfortable by himself? As a result, Lin Ruo's status as a miscellaneous servant was realized, and he did not even take the assessment, and directly became a miscellaneous servant.
"You're lazy again, kill you scum, smack!" Lin Ruo, who had just come out to breathe after chopping firewood, was slapped on the back of the head.
After stumbling and taking two steps, Lin Ruo fell to the ground, and two bright red blood marks appeared on the bluestone.
Lin Ruo bit her lip, looked down at her bleeding knees and slowly stood up.
"What's the matter? are you still not convinced, have you fed my red flame?" Chen Qianlin stared at her coquettishly, with the intention of continuing to go crazy.
"I just finished chopping firewood, and I'll feed Chi Yan in a while, I don't know what else the second lady has to order?" Chi Yan is a good horse raised by Chen Tianlin. If there is anyone Lin Ruo dislikes the most in Wuwei Daoyuan, it is Chen Qianlin in front of him, typical rudeness, willfulness, and a little splashy.
"If something goes wrong with Chiyan, Miss Ben will break your dog's leg. Chen Qianlin pulled the hem of her skirt and left.
Looking at Chen Qianlin's swaying back, Lin Ruo was a little annoyed, didn't he just rely on the shadow of his ancestors to bully people, he would only fight against people.
At this time, Lin Ruo had the idea of leaving, he was here to learn kung fu, not to be angry, if he continued like this, he might as well continue to go around the rivers and lakes.
Lin Ruo didn't know his life experience, and since he could remember, he was floating in the world with an old and frail grandfather. Grandpa said that he picked it up, and there was only a jade pendant engraved with his name on his body, and his grandfather died, and Lin Ruo, who had nothing to worry about, came to Wuwei Daoyuan.
Lin Ruo added the forage of the red flame and walked towards his residence with the jade pendant.
"Lin Ruo, what's wrong with your leg? Is that Senior Aunt Chen bullying you again? I'll go and tell the elder, it's too much. Halfway through, a boy of the same age as Lin Ruo came over and called out to Lin Ruo.
"It's not big this time, it's small, they can do whatever they like! Yun Zheng, you don't have to worry about it. Lin Ruo smiled bitterly.
Yun Zheng is very good friends with Lin Ruo, and the two of them went forward to participate in the recruitment conference together, and Yun Zheng was accepted into the door wall by an elder of the Qingshan Branch because of his good qualifications.
Lin Ruo is in the Qingzhu Branch, Chen Qianlin is the second granddaughter of the owner of the Qingzhu Academy, and her aunt Chen Fan usually bullies Lin Ruo, Chen Qianlin learned from her aunt.
"It's not a way to go on like this. Yun Zheng said angrily.
"I don't want to stay here, I'll say hello to the old guy who brought me in a moment, say hello and leave. Lin Ruo said his decision.
"It's okay, tomorrow I'll ask Master for a leave of absence, send you away, and let my father help you find something to do. Facing Lin Ruo, who has been in the door for three years and has done nothing, Yun Zheng is also helpless.
After sending Yun Zheng away, Lin Ruo limped back to his residence. The place where Lin Ruo lives is called True Evil Valley, far away from the center of the Qingzhu Branch, living with a sloppy old guy, Lin Ruo goes to the branch to work during the day and comes back to rest at night.
Returned to the residence, cleaned up his things, Lin Ruo took out the medicine bottle and began to apply medicine to the broken knee, looking at the scar on the leg, Lin Ruo's hand was shaking, and his heart was full of anger.
"Beaten again?" the scruffy old guy walked in.
"It's not unusual, everyone else is cultivating, but I don't cultivate, some of the people who entered the sect in the same year are already middle-level martial artists and Taoist masters, and even more have reached the upper level, but I am an ordinary miscellaneous servant, and it is normal to be beaten. Lin Ruo's tone was very calm, calm with unwillingness.
"Didn't I teach you a set of exercises, how can it not be considered cultivation?" The sloppy old guy pulled the only chair in Xiang Ruo's room and sat down, squinting at Lin Ruo.
"You taught me a set of exercises? Did you teach it, did you maintain your health, or did you strengthen your body? I came to learn kung fu, not to be a sandbag. Lin Ruo lowered his trouser legs.
"Anger is a good thing, anger is the driving force, you have been in the sect for three years, haven't you?
"Thirteen years old, sixteen this year. Lin Ruo said coldly, not understanding what the old guy meant by asking.
Lin Ruo didn't know much about this sloppy old guy, but he knew that he was a special existence of the Wuwei Daoist Academy, and he didn't care about anyone, and no one cared about him.
At the beginning, Lin Ruo was assigned the status of a miscellaneous servant, and the old guy didn't say anything other than a strong sentence, you go to Yuan Tiangang. The elders in charge of recruiting disciples couldn't stop it, as for whether there were reports at all levels, and whether there were results, it was another matter.
The True Evil Valley where Lin Ruo and the old guy lived was a forbidden place, and no one usually came, even a few Tai Sui from the branch master's family didn't dare to come.
"It's been three years since I started, so let's do it! I taught you the exercises, you insist on practicing, I'll think about teaching you something. The old guy rubbed his nose with his sleeves that hadn't been washed for several years, thought for a while, and said. "That exercise has no effect at all, and I don't have the need to practice. Lin Ruo was very dissatisfied with the nameless exercises he had cultivated. "Bastard, the exercises are useless? How many beatings have you been beaten in the past three years, but you have hurt your muscles and bones? What do you think is the reason?" The sloppy old guy stood up, and with a flick of the sleeves of his robe, he fanned Lin Ruo under the bed.
Lin Ruo was slapped so that his eyes were full of gold stars, but his head was very clear, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case, Chen Fan beat himself the hardest last month, breaking a wooden stick, and then beating himself a few more times with an iron rod, and he only suffered skin injuries.
"Think slowly, what's the matter? Pack up your things and want to run? Dare to run, I'll break your legs. The old guy glared at Lin Ruo and left angrily.
Lin Ruo was a little dumbfounded, this sloppy old guy was still very fierce when he was furious. At the same time, I know that the exercises I practice are not rubbish. The most shocking thing was that Lin Ruo knew that the old guy was a cultivator, not a simple cultivator.
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't understand, if I didn't understand, I didn't want to, Lin Ruo shook his head and climbed into bed to continue cultivating.
Calming down and practicing the nameless body strengthening exercises, Lin Ruo felt a warm current swirling in his body, which was very comfortable. No matter how tired he was during the day, as long as he practiced the exercises, the exhaustion would be gone, which was also the reason why Lin Ruo had been cultivating.
As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Lin Ruo got up, since he couldn't leave, he still had to do the work.
After filling several water tanks in the water room, Lin Ruo came to the front yard for roll call. The miscellaneous disciples were called every morning, and they could eat only after the roll call. Looking at the fat and fat handyman steward's mouth closed one by one, Lin Ruo first despised it in his heart, is it a little interesting to talk for half an hour every morning like chanting scriptures?
"Lin Ruo, Senior Aunt Chen is short of a servant, so she asks you to come over by name, and after you go over, you will deal with the things over there, and the things here will also be completed. Hu Yuan glanced at Lin Ruo and commanded, with a gloating smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I can't be busy!" Lin Ruo went out, and went to serve the vicious woman by himself, there was definitely no good life, so it was better to make a decision now.
"Do you dare to disobey the arrangement? Someone came, caught me and beat me hard, but I didn't find that this kid was still a stubborn species, and beat me until I was convinced. Hu Yuan was furious, Lin Ruo was provocative, this was ignoring his authority to manage things.
"Stop, what kind of noise is it in the morning. A majestic voice came in from the gate, and a purple-robed man appeared at the door with his hands in his hands, and the person arrived before the sound came.
"I've seen the Sorting Master. "All the miscellaneous servants are prostrate on the ground, Lin Ruo thinks about kneeling or not, he is just a miscellaneous servant, not a disciple of the sect, why kneel?
"Who are you and why don't you kneel when you see this seat?" Chen Fu stared at Lin Ruo and asked, an invisible momentum rushed towards Lin Ruo.
"Although I, Lin Ruo, am a handyman, I am also a man, a good man stands up to the sky, and the master of the branch is not among the princes of heaven and earth, so he does not kneel. Lin Ruo knew that he was going to be unlucky, but he didn't want to kneel down Lin Ruo, even if he was punished.
"You are Lin Ruo? Very good! Very good! This is your token, from today onwards you will be a disciple of the Wuwei Dao Academy, as for who your master is, I will talk about it later." Chen Fu took out a token and threw it to Lin Ruo, turned around and left.
Looking at the token engraved with his name in his hand, Lin Ruo was a little dumbfounded. He has become a disciple of the Wuwei Daoist Academy? What shocked him the most was that the master would say this sentence later.
Wuwei Daoist Academy accepts disciples, all of them are selected by the master, where is there no reason for the master to become a disciple? Lin Ruo wanted to ask, but Chen Fu had already left. Holding the token, Lin Ruo stretched out his hand and flicked it a few times to distinguish the real from the fake, and then grabbed his hair hard to determine whether he was dreaming or not. I also knew in my heart that even if I was a disciple, I was also a disciple who shook off my hand without a master, but my name had changed.
"Lin Ruo, there is only one Lin Ruo in the Qingzhu Branch, ah! Hu Yuan has seen Senior Brother Lin. He muttered to himself, and found that there was no one named Lin Ruo in the Qingzhu Branch, Hu Yuan knew that the branch master was not mistaken, and understood that Lin Ruo was about to turn over, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to please.
"I've seen Senior Brother Lin. "The other miscellaneous disciples are also indebted to please.
"It's true that I'm a senior brother, but I don't have a junior brother like you, didn't you want to subdue me just now?" Lin Ruo stretched out his right arm and punched Hu Yuan's eyes.
For a snob like Hu Yuan, Lin Ruo was extremely annoying, looking at the flattery that made people vomit, he suddenly couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.
"Senior brother, don't fight, I know it's wrong. Hu Yuan didn't dare to fight back and began to beg for mercy.
"Hey, Lin Ruo, your ability is great. A sneer came in the doorway.
