Chapter 152: Starting the Mission
In a month, there was not much progress in refining Qi, but "Bai Gong Lu Meng Shen Shen Fa" went smoothly beyond Sun Hao's expectations. When practicing Lumengjing, I was surprised to find that Qingxin Jue actually has an auxiliary effect on the practice of Lumengjing.
Ordinary monks, if they have the aptitude for cultivation, practice "Bai Gong enters the dream to refine the gods", three months will be able to know the dream, but Sun Hao has only known the dream for more than 20 days, or, it should be said, in the past, Sun Hao After practicing the Qingxin Jue, the Qingxin Jue hid Sun Hao's dream, and after Sun Hao practiced "Bai Gong's Dream of Refining the Gods", the Qing Xin Jue returned the dream to Sun Hao, making it easy for Sun Hao to do it Knowing dreams and understanding dreams.
Moreover, because of the relationship between the Qingxin Jue and Thousand Heads and Thousands of Thoughts Cutting off the Spirit of the God, Sun Hao's stage of practicing Juemeng is also quite smooth. Sun Hao imitated the dream state of a bystander very quickly, and it is estimated that he will be able to meet the requirements of dreaming and refining gods in less than a month.
The practice of talisman writing is progressing slowly. In a month, Sun Hao can only be familiar with writing about 20 characters of 1,000-character talismans. Moreover, for various reasons, Sun Hao can't write completely. It is generally restricted by the mighty power of heaven and earth, and the writing always deviates inexplicably. There are quite a few such symbols, and you can only skip them when you encounter them.
Another huge harvest of this month is that Sun Hao took care of a large number of low-level and incomplete spiritual herbs in several storage bags, and most of them recovered their spiritual energy, and Sun Hao also accumulated a large amount of alchemy materials.
A month passed, and the garrison mission of Qingmu City was officially launched, and the elders of the city called their disciples to the city to listen to the instructions.
Jinghua City is the city of Xia Kingdom, and Cyanwood City is an important industry of the sect. The disciples of the Cyanwood Sect stationed in the city are divided into two categories. From two to five years, this type of disciples, each rotation, has about 30 to 50 disciples; the other type is the elders and disciples of the sect who are stationed all the year round, and the total number of elders and disciples exceeds ten years. Eighty people.
That is to say, there are no less than one hundred and ten disciples and elders of the Cyanwood Sect stationed in Jinghua City all the year round, accounting for one-fifth of the total number of the sect.
Of course, the total number of people in Cyanwood City exceeds 50,000, a large number of servant disciples, casual cultivators, and even some mortals are attached to the Cyanwood Sect to survive. The status in Chengcheng is extremely noble.
In addition to a large number of large industries in the city, the official sect institutions of the Cyanwood Sect are mainly divided into two categories: "Internal Affairs Hall" and "External Affairs Hall".
The Internal Affairs Hall, as the name suggests, is the hall that manages the affairs of the Cyanwood Sect. It is only open to the disciples of the sect. The hall of the Qingmu sect handles external affairs, and the external affairs are disturbed and complicated. This hall has many branch halls. For example, the Danwu hall is in charge of the sect's elixir industry in Jinghua City, and the Qiwu hall is mainly in charge of the sect's refining industry. The classification hall of classes and so on.
Because this was the first time that the new garrison disciples of the Zongmen were assigned a task, the three elders of the Zongmen garrisoning the city all appeared and encouraged the new disciples who came to carry out the task.
Of the three elders stationed there, one is Qi Refining Dzogchen, and two are Qi Refining Ninth-Layer Late Elders. After the disciples of the Cyanwood Sect advance to the late stage of the ninth level of Qi refining, they will automatically leave their status as disciples and enter the rank of elders.
The Qi Refining Dzogchen Elder stationed in Jinghua City is none other than Liu Zhiyuan's master, another elder Hong Liang who is almost as famous as Yu Changming in the Cyanwood Zongzhen Futang; , but he was born in the Danqi Hall. He is the eldest disciple of Dongfang Qi, the chief elder of the Danqi Hall, and the elder brother of Sun Hao's old rival Gongsun. His name is Zhuo Yuping. Call permission.
As his name suggests, Hong Liang has a loud voice, a tall and powerful figure, rough and powerful features, and a rock-like appearance. He is also a formation talisman master, but Hong Liang and Yu Changming are two completely different types.
Because of Yukunlong's relationship, Sun Hao pays the most attention to Zhuo Yuping, who is probably Sun Hao's potential opponent. This Zhuo Yuping is not very handsome, but his appearance is very characteristic. He is tall and tall, especially with a big nose. deep.
Xu Shi noticed Sun Hao's sizing up, and Zhuo Yuping looked at Sun Hao sullenly, and then realized that Sun Hao was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain, and he stopped looking at Sun Hao.
Sun Hao didn't care either, and listened carefully to Hong Liang's arrangement of sect missions.
According to the different halls in each city, this group of disciples will also be divided into two halls to perform tasks. Among them, the foreign affairs hall has a lot of scenery, and the internal affairs hall is relatively quiet, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, most of the Zongmen disciples came to Jinghua to garrison for their contribution and cultivation resources. Naturally, they hoped to be assigned to the External Affairs Hall. Except for a few disciples with special purposes, no one was interested in the tasks of the Internal Affairs Hall.
Sun Hao is a disciple with a special purpose, so he also asked Xiao Wan to selectively report to himself the task of the Internal Affairs Hall. The Cyanwood Sect attaches great importance to its disciples, and before the mission, it will solicit the disciples' intentions. Sun Hao reported the mission of the Internal Affairs Hall, and he chose the unpopular one, but it was easy to get what he wanted.
Hong Liang is the elder in charge of the city, and he arranges the tasks of the disciples.
The sonorous voice arranged the whereabouts of the disciples one by one, "Sun Hao, Tong Xiaowan, internal affairs hall, missions, patrols on duty, once every six months, once every two months, within two months, patrol the city no less than twice a day ..."
This duty patrol mission of the Internal Affairs Hall is the easiest and easiest mission. Qingmu City is a place where monks gather together. To be honest, the order is very good, and patrol missions are almost dispensable. This kind of mission is the most suitable for Sun Hao up. Xiaowan had a lot of things to deal with in Jinghua City, so she also chose this task. In a group of two, they need to rotate for two months every six months, and also need to rotate for four months a year.
However, depending on the actual situation, at that time, Xiaowan only needs to pay a little price, and Sun Hao does not necessarily need to actually patrol the city. Sun Hao and Xiaowan can completely spare time to deal with their own affairs.
Tong Li, on the other hand, was assigned to the Foreign Affairs Hall according to Sun Hao's instructions. Tong Li and about a dozen other disciples were incorporated into the Law Enforcement Team of the Foreign Affairs Hall. The most beautiful task. It is said that the biggest task of the law enforcement team is to "earn face" for the sect.
Compared with other tasks, there are only six disciples who undertake patrol tasks, which is very small. Sun Hao and Xiao Wan were assigned to the first group, and the next month after the task was handed over was Sun Hao's task time.
In the first few days, Sun Hao and Xiao Wan did not dare to be careless. They patrolled around the city twice a day, each time for an hour, very serious and responsible.
After a few days, Sun Hao and Xiao Wan found that there was no one in the Internal Affairs Hall to supervise them, and there were no elders or disciples to check on the completion of their tasks. They couldn't help but relax a lot. The patrol time dropped from one hour to half an hour. It was later discovered that no one objected to his behavior.
And then, under the faint reminder from the disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall, Sun Hao and Xiaowan suddenly understood, and at the price of 20 low-grade spirit stones for a month, they contracted out the patrol mission of their own sect through the Internal Affairs Hall , that is to say, Sun Hao and Xiao Wan have a total of eight months of patrol missions a year, and one hundred and sixty low-grade spirit stones are settled.
For Sun Hao who is carrying hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, this is simply a drop in the bucket.
It was such an easy and enjoyable task to do.
What Sun Hao didn't know was that Lingshi was hard currency in Jinghua City. A piece of low-grade spirit stone, brought to the outer city, can keep a mortal family from worrying about food and clothing for ten years. The lowest level of currency in the Xia Kingdom is copper coins, followed by silver taels and gold. Gold is the low-grade spirit stone. Moreover, the rate of exchange of low-grade spirit stones for gold is frighteningly high. Even in Jinghua City, where every inch of land is expensive, a piece of low-grade spirit stones can also make a lot of money. A mortal family makes a fortune.
Zongmen disciples like Sun Hao are the biggest benefactors in the eyes of casual cultivators and handyman disciples. Therefore, the unspoken rule is that the sect tasks of Cyanwood Sect disciples are usually packaged and contracted to handyman disciples or It's a casual cultivator. As for the formal disciples of the sect, as long as they can pay part of the spirit stones, they can go about their own affairs.
To perform sect missions, there is a degree of contribution to the sect. Zongmen disciples also have a monthly salary according to their status. For example, Sun Hao, as a direct disciple, the monthly salary is 20 spirit stones, and as a secret disciple, there is an additional 20 spirit stones hidden income. After paying the task reward, there is still a surplus. Of course, ordinary inner disciples such as Xiao Wan only have a monthly salary of ten spirit stones. Paying this task reward is a loss for the month.
Sun Hao was puzzled by such unspoken rules, and Xiaowan told Sun Hao with a smile, "Those who get a monthly salary don't do things, and those who do things are recruiters. This is almost a common practice in Xia Kingdom, from the mortal dynasty to the monks of the Zongmen... ..."
Xiaowan also told Sun Hao two stories, which made Sun Hao dumbfounded, and felt that the society of Xia Kingdom was really complicated.
Xiaowan said, it is said that a few years ago, there was an arrogant law enforcement monk in the law enforcement team of Jinjian City. Because a small family failed to pay the management fee in time, this monk frantically slaughtered all the members of the small family because of a disagreement. Afterwards, the crowd was heated and the common people complained. The other three dynasties discussed it together. Golden Sword City thoroughly investigated and found that this monk was recruited temporarily, and he was actually a demon monk. Therefore, the four dynasties jointly punished this monk severely. Hearing about a demon cultivator who has infiltrated the righteous way, the common people clapped their hands and cheered, calling for four great righteousness.
Later, the Four Sects clearly stipulated that it is okay to recruit monks to perform tasks, but it is not allowed to recruit demon cultivators.
But who knows, shortly thereafter, the law enforcement team of Raging Fire City had another situation. One of the law enforcement monks was deceived and abducted, defrauding a lot of spiritual stones from several small cultivation families. Fleeing with the spirit stone, as a result, several female cultivators from the cultivating family dragged their daughters to the city of Raging Fire, crying and making a scene. The common people paid attention to it. The monk was recruited on a temporary basis. Although he was not a demon cultivator, he was actually an evil monk. Therefore, the four dynasties jointly severely punished this evil monk who had sneaked into the righteous way. . <
