Taoist students

Chapter 16
"Yurou, tell aunt why you insist on letting this kid into my Miaoyin Academy. You must know that most of my Miaoyin Academy are female disciples."

At this moment, in a certain attic hall of Miaoyin Academy, Aunt Zhong was sitting cross-legged on a futon, and beside her was the girl in white, half lying on the ground without the slightest sign of sitting.

"It's not that I want him to come, it's Granny Hua who said it."

Hearing this, the girl in white explained.

"Huh? Senior Hua is here too?"

Aunt Zhong let out a sigh.

"Well, Granny Hua is here too, she's in Niujiao City at the foot of the mountain."

"So that's how it is. Her old man must come here for you, a girl. I haven't seen you for many years. I will take some time to visit her old man someday."

"However, why is Senior Hua interested in this kid?"

The nun couldn't help but wonder.

"Grandma Hua said that the little cow's nose seems to be a hidden spirit root, so I asked you to bring him here out of consideration for you, aunt."

"Hidden root?"

Hearing this, Aunt Zhong couldn't help exclaiming.

"Well, I don't know, anyway, Granny Hua said so, and said that the black boy doesn't seem to have an ordinary person's physique."

The girl continued.

"This time Juechenzi really missed his mark, but it's no wonder that this hidden spirit root is naturally hidden in the spiritual veins. Unless one's own strength has reached the infant transformation state, or has the supernatural power of cultivation, it is absolutely difficult to find."

"Let this kid stay in my Miaoyin Academy first. Although his aptitude is mediocre at present, if there is a chance to cause a change in his spiritual root when he builds his foundation, then my Miaoyin Academy will have another genius. "

"Auntie, what is a hidden spirit root!"

At this moment, the girl propped up her body, sat up straight and asked.

Hearing this, the nun explained:

"This hidden spiritual root is not actually a kind of spiritual root that exists alone, but must be hidden within its own spiritual root, which is difficult for ordinary people to find."

"Before the establishment of the foundation, the hidden spirit roots will not be manifested. Only during the establishment of the foundation, by chance and coincidence, may the hidden spirit roots in the body be stimulated, thereby stimulating the complete integration of the own spiritual roots with it, and a mutation occurs. Produce some special abilities."

"For example, that kid, if he reaches the foundation establishment, he may activate the hidden spirit root, which will cause his own wood spirit root to mutate. As for how his wood spirit root will mutate, it depends on his good fortune. "

"Of course, it's also possible that his hidden spirit root has not been awakened, and he has disappeared from everyone since then. But no matter what, there is still hope. You did a good job in this matter."

The nun nodded to the girl in white, as if approving.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter, I have accepted a male disciple, and I will explain it to the head of the school later. Now tell me, did your father ask you to explain anything to your aunt this time?"

The nun changed the subject and asked the girl.

So the girl explained to the Taoist nun in every detail.

……

At this time, Dongfang Mo naturally didn't know what the Taoist and the girl were talking about, and just followed the young girl in front of him all the way to a stone road in the mountains.

"I don't know what to call this senior sister?"

Dongfang Mo asked this tall female disciple with a beauty spot between her eyebrows.

"Hehe... My name is Mu Ziyu, you can call me Senior Sister Mu."

"Mu Ziyu, she really lives up to her name, she is extremely beautiful."

Dongfang Mo was born in a storyteller, so he has the ability to praise others at his fingertips, especially knowing that young women always like to be praised.

Sure enough, upon hearing Dongfang Mo's words, the female disciple named Mu Ziyu blushed slightly. A boy in his early ten years like Dongfang Mo might not necessarily tell lies.

"Young brother can really talk, I don't know how to call him."

"Xiaodao's surname is Dongfang, and his first name is Mo. Senior sister Mu can just call me by my name."

"Dongfang Mo, senior sister should call you Junior Brother Dongfang."

"Junior Brother Dongfang is really blessed. To be able to enter my Miaoyin Academy, I think he must be a genius."

At this time, Mu Ziyu not only thought of the other two male disciples of Miaoyin Academy, but they were both geniuses who met once in a thousand years.

"Senior Sister, thank you. Xiaodao is here for the first time. I wonder if Senior Sister can explain to me the rules of Taiyi Dao Palace and Miaoyin Academy."

Dongfang Mo changed the subject and asked.

"It's natural, even if the younger brother doesn't ask, I will tell."

"Taiyi Taoist Palace is a practice sect of our human race located in the Western Regions. There are nearly [-] disciples."

"It is divided into three courtyards in total, namely Nanlu Academy, Beichen Academy, and My Miaoyin Academy."

"Among them, the Nanlu Academy has the largest number of people and the widest distribution, with thousands of people. My Miaoyin Academy is relatively second in number, with as many as 1000 people, but most of them are female disciples, and there are only two male disciples... No, now including you, junior brother, there should be three people."

"Only Beichen Pavilion has the rarest number of people, but only a few hundred people."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Dongfang Mo asked in puzzlement.

"Because the Beichen Academy is mainly responsible for refining alchemy, refining weapons, refining talismans, and arranging formations, etc. And these people often need special talents and spiritual roots, which are extremely scarce, which leads to the fact that the number of them is only a few hundred people."

Mu Ziyu explained.

"I see."

Dongfang Mo nodded.

"Junior brother, when you first arrive at Miaoyin Academy, you can go to the Pavilion of Things to receive my Taiyi Taoist Palace Ancestral Tablet, ten Bigu Pills, a first-level Qi Na Qi Code, and ten spirit stones for entering the sect for the first time."

"These spirit stones and bigu pills are not available every month. Only new disciples have a chance to receive them once."

"I don't want to talk about the role of this spirit stone, but my junior should know that if I want to get it in the future, I have to accept the mission of the sect by myself."

"As for the Bigu Pill, one pill can be used for three days, and one spirit stone can be exchanged for three Bigu Pills at the Pavilion of Things. Spirit stones can be exchanged for four."

"At the beginning of every month, the elder Chuangong will give a routine teaching in the Miaoyin Palace. The purpose is to explain the obscure and difficult points to the new disciples. The elder Chuan Gong asked for advice."

"In my Taiyi Taoist Palace, there are not many sect rules. The only thing my junior remembers is: those who deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, those who betray the clan, will be executed."

"The same sect can kill each other, if it is light, it will be expelled from the sect, and if it is severe, it will be beheaded to show the public."

"In the sect, private fighting is prohibited. If you want to learn skills, you can go to the martial arts platform designated by the sect to compete."

"When you first enter Taiyi Taoist Palace, all disciples are treated as disciples of the outer court, and they are treated equally. There will be an opportunity to become a disciple of the inner court once a year. What you need to know is that the disciples of the inner court are treated much better than the disciples of the outer court. Shi Shijie won’t tell you in detail, but you will know when the time comes.”

Mu Ziyu said lightly.

Later, along the way, Dongfang Mo even asked his many puzzles one by one, and Mu Ziyu answered patiently.

This gave Dongfang Mo a general understanding.

Until after a stick of incense.

"Here we are, this is the Pavilion of Things."

With that said, Mu Ziyu had led Dongfang Mo to a small attic. Mu Ziyu walked in first, followed by Dongfang Mo.

I didn't expect this place to be very lively, with many disciples coming in and out.

However, all of them are female disciples, and most of them are young disciples.

Mu Ziyu led Dongfang Mo here, which attracted everyone's attention.There is no other reason, everyone is puzzled why there is a man here, even though he is only a boy in his early ten years old.

You know, Miaoyin Academy is not like the other two academies, you can enter and leave at will, because the head of this academy has regulations, without notification, the disciples of the other two academies are not allowed to enter and leave at will, especially male disciples.

This is the first time for Dongfang Mo to be stared at by so many Yingyingyanyans. He usually prides himself on being shameless and thick-skinned, but for some reason, at this moment, his face is blushed by these charming and graceful girls, and he looks a little embarrassed .

Seeing this, dozens of women around immediately laughed like silver bells.

Mu Ziyu shook his head and smiled, explaining:
"Junior brother, don't mind, there are very few male disciples here on weekdays. This is the things pavilion where my Miaoyin Academy accepts tasks. Next time, junior brother can come here to receive tasks by himself."

Then Mu Ziyu led Dongfang Mo through the crowd and came to a quiet side hall.

This side hall is not big, and the furnishings are simple. There is only a big cabinet in the center, and there is a middle-aged woman under the cabinet.

At this time, Mu Ziyu came to the middle-aged woman and said:
"Senior Sister Li, this is a new student from Miaoyin Academy, come here to receive the ancestral card."

"Hey, why is it a man?"

The dark-skinned middle-aged woman looked at Dongfang Mo in surprise.

"This Dongfang Junior Brother was brought by Elder Zhong himself. I don't know the details."

Mu Ziyu explained.

"So that's it, come here, this is your thing."

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman nodded, and then took out a black bag that seemed to be made of animal skin from the cabinet behind her, and handed it to Dongfang Mo.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Li."

Dongfang Mo quickly reached out to take it.

"Okay, you can take a look at things later, I will take you to see your residence now."

Saying that, Mu Ziyu didn't stop, turned around and left with Dongfang Mo.

The two walked out of the Pavilion of Things, walked through a small path, and after a cup of tea, they came to a remote cave on the mountainside.

"There is no one in this cave for the time being. Junior brother can live here. Although it is a bit remote, it is better than quiet. It is a good place for cultivation."

"By the way, I forgot to tell Junior Brother Dongfang that if you have mastered this secret code of receiving energy, opened up your own spiritual veins, and can breathe and breathe spiritual energy, you can go to the Palace Gate Shufa Pavilion to exchange spirit stones for magical powers. According to The spirit stones exchanged for are also different depending on the level of magical powers."

"Thank you, Sister."

Dongfang Mo sincerely thanked Mu Ziyu for his help along the way.

"Thank you, no need, I have to go back to perform the task of guarding, so there will be no delay, and I will come to visit my third male disciple of Miaoyin Academy when I have time someday."

Mu Ziyu covered her mouth and smiled, as if remembering something interesting.

Dongfang Mo shook his head, knowing that Mu Ziyu was teasing him.

"Waiting for Senior Sister to come anytime."

Immediately, Mu Ziyu moved his feet, and his body was as light as a swallow, and disappeared on the path after a few breaths.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo turned around, looked at the one-foot-high cave behind him, pushed open the gate of the cave, and walked in with great strides.

What caught the eye was not the pitch black as Dongfang Mo had imagined, but a faint white light. It turned out that on the stone wall of the cave, there were several night pearls shining with white light.

This thing is worth a lot of money in the ordinary world, but I didn't expect it to be used as a lighting here.

Dongfang Mo looked around and found that the cave was extremely simple, with a large stone room in the middle and two smaller side rooms on both sides.

The stone room in the middle has a stone table, two stone benches, and a stone bed.The side chambers on both sides are even more empty, and I don't know what they are used for.

Dongfang Mo couldn't wait to sit on the stone bench at this moment, opened the animal skin bag, and dumped everything in it on the stone table with a "crash".

Among them was a lavender token, a bundle of bamboo slips the size of a palm, ten milky white stones the size of a fist, and a porcelain vase the size of a finger.

Dongfang Mo first picked up the token and looked carefully. It was engraved with "Taiyi" on one side and the word "Miaoyin" on the other side. Presumably this was the Zongmen's token.

Then he picked up the finger-sized porcelain bottle and uncorked the bottle. Dongfang Mo smelled it and found a faint fragrance coming from it.This should be the ten bigu pills. If his prediction is correct, this thing is just like its name, and it is used to replace the usual rations. According to Mu Ziyu, one pill can last for three days.

But when Dongfang Mo cast his eyes on the ten white stones, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and a feeling of deja vu came over his heart.
