I, the only superpower on earth - Chapter 218 Qi Nourishing Technique
The term “medicine species” deeply attracted Xi Gu’s attention.
Although the language of this world is different from that of Earth, the systems can be translated into each other. In particular, the characters are similar to ancient Chinese characters, which are phonetic characters or ideographic characters with phonetic functions.
Therefore, the word “medicine seed” in this world is also the result of the addition of the two words “medicine” and “plant”, which makes people think a lot.
Especially the tone revealed in the conversation between those servants made Xi Gu feel that this word was closely related to the secret that no one of the disciples of Qingsong Temple survived.
However, even though the word was spoken, the servants seemed to be quite taboo about it. Without any further discussion, they walked out of the range of Xi Gu’s spiritual perception in muttering, and gained nothing from it.
“…
“…I can collect more information in this area in the future. Anyway, I still have a long time.”
Xigu laughed.
And right in front, under the bamboo forest of Qingsongguan, there are several wooden lofts standing upright in the shadow of the night trees.
The shadows are blurry.
For some reason, it feels a bit eerie.
…
The student dormitory in Qingsongguan is Datongpu.
After the five teenagers were brought here by the servants, the other servants stayed. Only an old man with a shrunken figure wearing a light blue burqa stayed in the dormitory.
The pupil of one of his eyes is completely white, and the other eye can still move a little. The wrinkles on his face are densely covered, and he looks like he is at least sixty or seventy years old.
After the servants left, the old man stood in the center of the dormitory with a hunched back and a hoarse voice. Then he clasped his hands and said respectfully to the young men:
“Fellow Taoist priests, this is the dormitory from now on… There are two dormitories in a loft, both with bunk beds. Each room can accommodate up to eight people… I am the caretaker of this loft, call me Wang Menzi That’s it… If you, the little Taoist priests, have any instructions from now on, you can ask me to do it… I usually just clean the house… If you have any questions, you can ask me…”
What he said was so confusing and shaky that the young man who was still interested in asking him many things lost interest.
Just when the old man named Wang Menzi was hunching his back and preparing to leave tremblingly, Xi Gu suddenly stopped him.
“–etc.”
Wang Menzi raised his head, his wrinkled face showed no expression, and the only intact eye stared at him drowsily.
“I would like to ask, are there several other lofts next to our loft, and are they also student dormitories?”
Xigu asked, touching his chin.
Wang Menzi replied:
“They are all places to live…students need to live…and there are many students…”
It was still an unclear answer.
There are two eight-person lofts in one attic, which means that one class can accommodate forty or fifty students?
But Xi Gu continued to ask.
“Do all the students in our class live in these attics?”
Wang Menzi continued to be confused, not knowing whether he was nodding or shaking his head:
“…students all live in the same place where students live…these attics are where they live…”
After saying that, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Xi Gu, he bowed to several young men and then exited the dormitory step by step.
Looking at his back, Xi Gu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xigu thought thoughtfully when he thought of “Su Yujie” who disappeared after being taken away by Taoist Kihara.
Then, just after Wang Menzi’s footsteps clearly stepped out of the corridor, a voice came loudly from beside Xi Gu.
“Alas! That old man looks really useless. Do we, Qingsongguan, use people like this to guard the gate?”
Xi Gu looked back and saw that it was the tiger-headed boy. After confirming that Wang Menzi had left, he finally complained loudly without any scruples.
“yes!”
“Moreover, they are obviously from a fairy family, but they still live in a common shop, and are almost bullied by the handymen… It’s completely different from those storytellers in the streets, and the fairy tales in the story books, and the fairy families who wield swords for thousands of miles!”
Several other teenagers also echoed, with frustrated expressions on their faces.
He was obviously selected by Qingsong Temple and could practice immortal magic from now on. However, he was first bullied by the servants and then taken to rest in a dormitory like a monk’s room. The gatekeeper still looked stupid. Demented old man – such ups and downs made these young men’s mentality somewhat unbalanced.
“Forget it – speaking of it, we haven’t gotten to know each other yet!”
The boy who spoke first put one hand on his waist and waved the other hand to change the topic.
“Let me start by saying that my name is Wang Mengqing. I am from Hanjiang City in the west. I came here to make a comeback because of the flood – but my family is still a big merchant! The newly opened bank in this city was bought by my father!”
The clothes on this young man are indeed the best among all the people, which attracts the envious eyes of other young people. According to other people’s statements, their family circumstances are far from being so comfortable.
“My name is Zhang Miao, I am a farmer outside the city. Today I went to the city with my parents to sell vegetables…”
“My name is Li Changhe, and my family is a hawker…”
“I……”
Either they were traffickers or farmers outside the city.
It was similar to Xi Gu’s initial expectation—only people with average family backgrounds or non-locals would find it difficult to understand the inside story of Qingsong Temple.
It’s Xigu’s turn.
Several other teenagers stopped talking and looked in his direction.
There was a bit of embarrassment and a bit of anticipation on his face.
Although Xi Gu’s remarks did make them very angry at first, later on, they were somewhat impressed by the young man’s courage to take action against the servants.
At this time, as long as Xi Gu is willing to change his attitude and get close to them, these young boys will surely end all their unpleasantness with him happily and start chatting happily.
But Xi Gu just looked at them sideways and smiled coldly:
“I, Li Yuanshu, come from Xichuan Prefecture. If we didn’t live in the same sect, how would you know my name?!”
After saying that, he threw away his baggage and took up the innermost seat of the bunk, closing his eyes and ignoring the teenagers.
Whether it was Wang Mengqing or the other young men, their expressions were all dull.
“this……”
“Who is it?”
“Forget it, forget about him… We came in on the same day, and we will be classmates from now on. We have to rely on each other…”
“Yes! Except for some people…”
The disturbing young voices were noisy in my ears, and soon they became quiet again.
But Xi Gu turned a deaf ear to this.
His spiritual thoughts continued to spread outward, and the range of twenty-three feet expanded to the extreme, and finally touched the depths of the bamboo forest, a place covered by shadows.
“There’s also an attic…
“It’s just that there’s no one living there…”
…
In the next few days, new students continued to pour into Qingsong Temple. However, compared to the first day when five people were recruited in a row except “Su Yujie”, there were fewer students to choose from every day. many.
But even so, after the three-day “Opening Ceremony” expired, there were seven more classmates in the attic. Twelve people were recruited in one “Opening Ceremony”. Xi Gu captured the Korean with his spiritual perception. The joy in the corners of Deacon Cheng Yi’s eyes and the muttering in the corners of his mouth.
“It seems that this time, I will be rewarded by the Master…”
There was an attic with two rooms, six people living on one side, and one more person living on Xigu’s side, so it was a little more crowded than the first day.
But still not as good as another loft.
Shortly after the “Opening Ceremony” expired, Xi Gu sensed that a man in gray with a “danger radius” of thirty-five feet came in from outside Qingsong Temple with a group of rustic-looking students wearing coarse cloth. .
The number of students in this group even reached seventeen, almost filling two full rooms of another attic.
When the man in gray clothes first came in, he had a deep joy on his face just like Han Chengyi.
But soon, after he was out of Xi Gu’s perception range, he didn’t know what he learned, and became furious again, and hurriedly walked towards the main hall of Qingsong Temple.
Of course, according to Xi Gu’s perception, the young man named “Su Yujie” has never stayed in any of the ordinary lofts in the surrounding area. As for the attic in the deepest part of the bamboo forest, there was no one there.
…
On the second day after the two attics were filled, twenty-eight disciples were led by servants to the main hall of Qingsong Temple.
This day is the disciple’s “entrance ceremony”.
That was a middle-aged man in green clothes, and he was also the most dangerous protagonist in Xi Gu’s perception, with a “two hundred feet” spiritual perception radius.
The man’s eyes were deep, and he led the disciples in the main hall, first to worship the statue of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, then to the statue of the ancestors of the Xiantian Dao, and finally to pay homage to the tablets of the ancestors of all generations.
After everything was over, the master of the temple drifted away without saying anything more to all the disciples. But the power of Lingkong Buxu has already caused many disciples to discuss and yearn for it.
However, what Xi Gu cares about is not the temple owner, but “Su Yujie” who followed him all the way.
Soon, the “entry ceremony” was over.
…
Some time passed next.
During this time, Xi Gu, together with twenty-eight other students, learned to read and write in the school building in Qingsongguan.
There is still no sign of “Su Yujie” in the school.
Although they are all students with “three points of Tao Qiao”, reading and writing are not innate, so many people still need some training.
Xi Gu has the memory of his previous life, can read some words, and has a “data master”. In the past few months, he has integrated the writing system of this world into his cognition, and soon showed his extraordinary ability in reading and writing.
This incident was reported to the superiors by the school teacher.
After the other six classmates, who had already accumulated a lot of experience and had laid a solid foundation through study, passed the test – Xitani and the other six were brought to Kihara Taoist who appeared again.
Compared with the day of the “Opening Ceremony”, the Taoist’s face was obviously much rosier, and according to Xi Gu’s perception, his “danger radius” also exceeded fifty feet and reached the level of sixty feet.
…
It’s clearly quiet indoors.
Taoist Kihara looked at the seven teenagers sitting on the futon in front of him. He was satisfied, nodded and said to them:
“Congratulations to all of you… The seven of you have now passed the school test. You are considered to be literate in writing. No matter how difficult it is to misjudge the arts and sciences, you can become the official disciples of my Qingsong Temple.”
As he spoke, Taoist Kihara stroked his beard.
“Today, you can embark on the path of spiritual practice.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and seven classics flew out from his sleeves, falling in front of seven teenagers with different moods and expressions.
Xi Gu took a closer look, and there were five characters written in the language of this world on the book:
“The Technique of Nourishing Qi”!
