Chapter 386 5 Spiritual Roots Little Waste 66
After walking along a wide bluestone avenue for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding buildings and scenery gradually changed from prosperous to desolate. Even disciples rarely passed by. Finally, some people could not help but express their doubts.
"Brother Wang, how much longer do we have to go?!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Wang, why is it getting more and more desolate as we go along?"
Wang Xu did not answer every question like he did on the way. He just told them to hold on as they were almost there. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally led everyone to stop in front of a dilapidated gate.
He asked everyone to wait where they were and he went forward to knock on the door and take over.
Soon he and another green-robed disciple came out, "This is the New Student Hall for Outer Sect disciples. From now on, you will all be under the charge of Senior Brother Li Fugen. If you have any questions, you can come to him."
Wang Xu believed that he had done his best, and with the mentality of getting rid of a hot potato, he quickly left and returned to his own peak to report.
As soon as he left, everyone became even more uneasy.
Li Fugen was a fat middle-aged man with a round face and eyes that sparkled like a mouse.
He glanced at the crowd. Although he was surprised that so many outer disciples suddenly showed up, he was secretly happy to have so many more laborers.
He was worried that no one would develop the wasteland at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, but now it seems that someone is cultivating it.
After confirming that there were twenty-six people, Li Fugen led them into a deserted courtyard in Xinsheng Hall with a cold face.
"You will live here from now on. Ten people per room. Men live in the room on the left, and women live in the room on the right. The sect requires everyone to wear uniform clothing. Now put your bags in the room as quickly as possible, and then come out and line up to receive clothes."
There are three rooms in the yard.
Seven girls lived in one room, and the remaining nineteen people were divided into two groups.
Three minutes later, everyone came out of the house quickly.
Seeing that no one was delaying, Li Fugen nodded with satisfaction, led the way and took them to get clothes and jade cards representing their identities, then briefly explained the rules of the New Student Hall, and took them to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and then asked them to go back and rest and gather at 8 o'clock tomorrow.
Back in the yard, some people couldn't help but complain that they felt it was not as free as before. Su Ziyu glanced at Qiao Ning, and Qiao Ning immediately walked over and kicked the person who was talking nonsense.
"Little Twelve, are you itching for trouble? Do I need to remind you again what to say and what not to say?"
Xiao Twelve was immediately startled and said that he was wrong.
After the two of them made such a fuss, everyone who was originally feeling uncomfortable suddenly became alert. This is not the mortal world, and their every word and action may be under surveillance by others.
No one dares to bet on the consequences if they say the wrong thing.
Su Zi asked others to take good care of his sister, and then went back to the house to rest. Qiao Ning and others followed suit, and no one went out to wander around out of curiosity.
The next morning, everyone gathered.
They discovered that one person was missing, and it was the grain merchant's son, and immediately reported it to Li Fugen.
Li Fugen didn't take it seriously at all. "It's less, so what? Why are you making such a fuss? This place is different from your mortal world. Human life is worthless. Besides, you are all outer disciples. If you die, you die. No one will care."
Everyone shuddered.
It's not just his contempt for human life, but also his worry about his own situation.
Li Fugen knew that they had not yet fasted, so he had people distribute boxed lunches to everyone. "It is only because the master is kind that you outer disciples can have boxed lunches. Eat quickly, because I have things to do after you finish eating."
When Su Zi was about to get the lunch box, he was stunned for a moment.
My goodness, this Luoshen Sect is pretty advanced, they even have boxed lunches, and surprisingly, they have two meat dishes and one vegetable, even fish-flavored shredded pork and Kung Pao chicken! !
"System, tell me honestly, there are no time travelers in the Luoshen Sect, right?!"
Isn’t it you, the time traveler?
Thinking of the host's passive attitude of preferring to be a cook rather than a matchmaker, the system became angry and said, "Host, don't underestimate the power of the natives."
Su Ziyu looked skeptical at the system's denial.
But he soon had no time to dwell on this matter. Su Yaoyao had a big appetite, and this lunch box was only enough to fill her teeth and would not fill her up at all.
She shook her brother's sleeve for help, "Brother, I'm hungry!"
Su Ziyu had finished his own portion as well. He signaled his sister to be patient and raised his hand, "Brother Li, do you have any extra lunch boxes? I have a big appetite and I'm not full."
"No, everyone has a fixed diet every day."
Li Fugen glared at Su Ziyu unhappily. Based on his performance after the meeting yesterday, he thought this man was smart, but he didn't expect him to be a brainless foodie.
"Eat, eat, eat, that's all you know. The lunch boxes are free, right? You haven't created any value for the sect yet, so how dare you ask for food?"
Li Fugen cursed all the way and threw a group of people to the foot of a barren mountain that looked like a mass grave. He pointed at the large patch of weeds and said, "Your task today is to reclaim the land. If you don't finish, you won't have any food to eat."
After that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Ning and the others were angry but dared not say anything. After they had walked away, they hurriedly surrounded Su Ziyu and asked, "Brother Su, what should we do next?"
Su Ziyu was also helpless.
I didn’t expect that even in the world of cultivating immortals, I still have to farm and dig for food in the ground.
Looking at the pairs of eyes casting their gazes at him, Su Ziyu had no choice but to get everyone moving, with groups of five forming sections to start pulling out weeds.
At this time, Su Yaoyao's advantages are reflected.
Pulling weeds is strenuous work, but she was strong enough to quickly finish a large area.
But the downside is that she gets hungry quickly. Plus, she wasn't full to begin with, so Su Yaoyao soon became so hungry that she saw stars and almost fell to the ground.
Su Ziyu immediately placed the people aside and began to search around for something edible, otherwise the people would starve before all the grass was pulled out.
Soon, he identified that a weed in the field was actually a wild vegetable.
So he asked everyone to be more careful when pulling out weeds and collect wild vegetables. Qiao Ning took people back to his residence, took the little dry food that was left, and asked people to move the unused pots and pans in the yard to the wasteland.
Su Ziyu cooked a big pot of wild vegetable soup.
Originally, they wanted everyone to have a bowl if they were hungry while working, but Chu Er and his friends were worried that Yao Mei wouldn't have enough to eat, so they asked her to eat more on the pretext that she wasn't hungry. The other five people looked down on the wild vegetable soup.
The last big pot of wild vegetable soup almost all went into Su Yaoyao's stomach.
Li Fugen did not show up at noon. It was not until long after lunch time that someone finally arrived. The lunch box he brought was already cold and hard, and he looked like he was asking for a beating as if he didn't want to eat it or not.
Su Zi wanted to reassure everyone not to care about each other's attitudes, but to think about solving the problem.
He mobilized everyone to light a fire and reheat the food. This time he left the lunch box to his sister, and then took the initiative to walk up the barren mountain while everyone was resting.
Qiao Ning originally wanted to go along, but Xiao Twelve had a conflict with one of the other five people over work, and he had to act as a peacemaker.
This barren mountain is a bit like the back mountain of Xihe Village, but it is a bit more weird than the back mountain. As soon as Su Ziyu entered, he could feel his body temperature drop sharply, and he felt uncomfortable as if he was shrouded in danger.
There were no roads in the woods, so Su Ziyu had to clear his own way. He didn't plan to go deep, so he just walked around the edge and found that there were actually quite a few things to eat here.
