I am doing construction in the cultivation world

Chapter 60 Ye’s Cousin
Ye Xiucheng has experienced a lot since he came to the Xixia Sect. First, his master Chen Deng suddenly disappeared, and the famous master didn't care about him.

Fortunately, someone from the family came in time. After knowing his recent situation, he went back and brought him a lot of money. He got through the relationship with the deacon, and managed to get the outer disciple's robe and waist badge, so he didn't have to do chores.

But because he has a master in the foundation period, the sect of martial arts did not give it separately. It seems that Chen Deng is needed to teach it. Although the people from the family told him about Chen Deng, he can't tell the deacon that the master died in his own home. right?So he just pretended to be a nominal disciple.

Later, the named master seemed to have offended some important person outside, and the sect spent spirit stones to redeem him. The named master somehow remembered him, but it was not a good thing for him.

I heard that his master who died in his own home had his soul refined by his master and was tortured to death.

And he was also disliked by his master and sent to the miscellaneous labor camp. However, because of his status as an outer disciple, his main task was only to look after the death row.

There is no practice of exercises, and I am responsible for cleaning and cooking in the death cell every day. This is actually no different from the handyman, and it is even worse. Some handymen can get the exercises, but most of the handymen do not have the qualifications. It may not be possible to forge the body successfully. Only when the Qi is condensed can the handyman have the opportunity to become an outer disciple.

Chen Deng's incident, the ostracism of his fellow apprentices, and the secret ridicule of the handyman disciples made this 13-year-old boy's personality change a lot. He is no longer as naive and ignorant as before, and he no longer trusts others easily.

He became much more gloomy.

The deacon in charge of the cell told him that he didn't need to be too kind to the long-term resident on death row, and that he could just pay for his daily meals. He said it more euphemistically, but the meaning was very clear. He just couldn't be nice to him, and he didn't deliberately follow it. , after all, no one was watching, and although the old man in the prison liked to brag, he felt that the old man had no ill intentions towards him.

Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and the chattering old man in the death cell taught him a set of exercises because he didn't add stones to the porridge.

According to his secret investigation, this old man was actually a big shot in the sect, but he didn't quite believe it when he said he was the former head.

In fact, his qualifications are really good. Under the guidance of the old man, he quickly succeeded in reaching the second level of body training.

On this day, he got up early as usual and went to the kitchen to get food. Because he had given some money, the food had improved a little recently, so he added his own food to the old man's food box, and sent the food over. .

He punched the old man while eating, during which the old man gave him some pointers from time to time, and asked him about the recent situation of the Xixia sect by the way.

As an outcast disciple of the body training period, he didn't know much, but he still asked through the people in the fire stove room.

I heard that the money bag in the sect went to the Xiaoxiao Villa with the chief of the Law Enforcement Hall, and many deacons and disciples followed. Even the sect leader went there and sent a lot of good things there. Know whether this attachment is good or bad.

The old man has been obviously a little irritable recently. He is afraid that the Xixia Sect will no longer be the Xixia Sect in the future, but there is nothing he can do because he is just a prisoner now.

After delivering the old man's meals, Ye Xiucheng had to take a few handymen to clean the mountain gate today.

He tidied up and went directly to the mountain gate. At this time, four handymen were waiting here with five brooms.

As an outer disciple, he could also choose to sit aside and watch these handymen clean up, but he did not do so. Firstly, there were spies among the handymen to exclude his senior brother, which could easily give the senior brother a reason to cause trouble for him; secondly, he It is not a bad thing to work more during the exercise period.

He was sweeping the stone steps down the mountain when a somewhat familiar voice came to his ears.

"You're welcome, old man. Even though I'm not big, I'm very strong."

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a girl who was as tall as him wearing a light blue dress, holding a large full frame in one hand, walking briskly in front, while the one behind was chasing after him with a pole. One of the mountain people who delivered food to the Huozao on weekdays seemed to be surnamed Wu, and everyone called him Old Man Wu.

The girl in front has dark eyebrows, a pair of extremely dazzling star-like eyes, red lips and white teeth, a face as bright as the moon, and a little baby fat on her face. She has a slender figure, but she is already much taller.

Ye Xiucheng remembered that two months ago, she was only up to his chest, but now she was as tall as him, and he suddenly felt like he had recognized the wrong person.

Ye Xiaoxiao had been reclusive at home and was not close to either of his siblings. Therefore, when she was ignored and ostracized by the family, he did not help her. Later, he did not know the truth about the white porcelain doll until he came to the Xixia Sect. At that time, his mother only told him that he and his master had discussed a solution. He was no longer entangled and hurriedly came to Xixia Sect. Unexpectedly, his mother almost killed Ye Xiaoxiao in order to save him.

Fortunately, my father wrote a letter saying that this cousin finally left with the immortal.

Looking at the girl walking towards her now, her steps are light and her breath is long. It seems that she has followed a good master, but she just doesn't know what her current cultivation level is.

Just looking at the ease with which she carried two large boxes of vegetables, she seemed to be much taller than herself.The two baskets of vegetables and food weighed at least 120 catties. He can lift them up at will now, but he can't do it so lightly.

Just when he was hesitating whether to say hello, he saw the girl put down the frame in front of the mountain gate. When the two handymen saw Old Man Wu, they stepped forward to pick up the food. In addition to cleaning the mountain door, these two people also picked up today's food and cooked it. Kitchen work.

The handyman kept the accounts for Old Man Wu. Old Man Wu nodded and thanked him with a smile, but Tang Xiao on the side was not happy.

"I said, old man, I brought you such a long way, how can you thank him but not me?"

What Old Man Wu was thinking was, my job for the day was to deliver food, and I just came slowly and came back slowly. You rushed to deliver the things to me, causing my legs to still tremble after chasing you. , I went back so early and had to do other work, thank you so much!
But the girl looked like a monk, so he could only say sincerely:

"What the hell! Old man, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, girl, for being so tight. It's been a big help!"

Tang Xiao had a small net bag woven with beautiful brocade rope around his waist, and a small white stone was tightly wrapped inside. Yes, it was that strong and honest stone.

At this moment, the role of the stone is to let him see the overlapping faces floating on the old man's face, speaking angrily what is in his heart:
"...I thank you bastard!"

She scratched her head, no wonder she didn't give thanks, she blamed herself for being quick, seeing that he was struggling, so she started directly, carelessly, obviously when he refused at the beginning, what he said in his heart was "such a beautiful little girl, At first glance, I can't resist my shoulders and can't lift my hands." I thought this point of gratitude was stable.

Tang Xiao curled his lips and said helplessly:
"Okay! Then go back slowly, old man, the mountain road is not easy to walk, so don't fall."

With a smile on his face, Old Man Wu nodded and left along the way he came. He didn't know whether he planned to go home directly or find a place to fish and rest.

Tang Xiao turned around and saw a young man standing by the steps holding a broom. The young man had delicate features, a thin body, and a faint bookish air. Melancholy, Tang Xiao's eyes light up immediately.

He stepped forward and said as if an old god was here:
"This little brother, I see you have a frown on your face. If you have something unhappy, tell me to make me happy... Bah, bah, bah, tell me and let me help you with your advice! Don't look at me like this, I'm I’m used to helping people solve their problems!”

Ye Xiucheng was taken aback for a moment, is Ye Xiaoxiao's character like this?No, is she mocking her own situation? !

Although he was not very happy and a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who felt sorry for her in the first place. He could only say with a sullen face:
"No, although I do cleaning work here, I'm still an outer disciple, so I don't need your help."

When the other side didn't lie, she couldn't hear other voices, but there was obviously something wrong with the boy's words and tone.

Tang Xiao tilted her head and looked at him carefully, as if he looked a little familiar, but if she couldn't remember the person in her golden elixir period, she probably had never seen him before. She asked doubtfully:
"Have we met?"

Ye Xiucheng frowned:
"never seen it?"

"Have you seen it?"

"never seen it."

Ye Xiucheng was a little annoyed and stopped talking to her and started sweeping his steps.

Tang Xiao became curious. Originally, he just wanted to inspect this subordinate sect from the grassroots level of Xixia Sect, and by the way, help some people who liked it to collect some gratitude points. Why did he meet a strange arrogant young man when he came there? ?

So casually threw an identification technique in the past.

-

Ye Xiucheng, male, 13 years old, second level body forging, legitimate son of the second wife of the Ye family in Tianque City.

Ye Xiaoxiao's cousin.

An outside disciple of the Xixia Sect.

Qualifications are acceptable.

-

Without further identification, Tang Xiao suddenly realized that it was his cousin. Both Xie Wanying and Xiao Zhong had stayed with the master to be nursed and upgraded. If she had been here, she would have informed him at the first sight.

That's right, that's right, when he was taken to Xixia Sect, Ye Peng even sent someone to look for him.

It seems that he was not implicated in the death of the white-faced monk and successfully joined the Xixia Sect.

She coughed to hide her embarrassment, but then she thought, wouldn't it be easier to understand this sect if she had acquaintances?
So he stepped forward and snatched Ye Xiucheng's broom, and said seriously:

"Cousin, you can't be so incapable of taking a joke! Can you tell me if you are sorry for me first?"

Ye Xiucheng's hand holding the broom tried hard, but the broom didn't move at all in Tang Xiao's hand. He sighed:

"Well, it was my fault that caused you trouble. Tell me, did you come to Xixia Sect specially to seek revenge?"

"Huh? After all, we are a family. I am not dead. We are living quite well now. How can we seek revenge?"

I have to thank you for giving me a fifth-grade magic weapon, Tang Xiao added in his heart.

Ye Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the handyman not far away with his eyes drifting towards him, pulled Tang Xiao further away, and then asked:

"What's the matter with you? Just tell me!

Although I'm not doing very well now, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it for you.

Let me first say that I cannot do anything that will harm the sect. I swore an oath when I entered the sect. "

Tang Xiao blinked. It looked like he was telling the truth. He didn't expect that Ye Xiucheng's personality was quite different from his mother's. He thought he was just a trouble-making playboy.

"My master has been too busy with his studies recently, so I sneaked out to hide, and I don't know any other monks. Your Xixia Sect seems to be a good place to hide for a while."

"Hush! Stop talking nonsense! I don't belong to the Xixia Sect! I'm just an outer disciple!"

Ye Xiucheng interrupted.

Tang Xiao blinked, nodded, and asked in a low voice:
"Then can you take me in for a few days?"

Ye Xiucheng rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

"No one else wants a master like this, but you're still tired and running away, okay! Just stay away for a while, and I'll go back and get ready. I'll bring you some handyman clothes, and you can follow me in."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Tang Xiao nodded happily.

Bai Buran, who was far away in Yufeng Mountain, was studying how to compile a weapon spirit technique for Xiao Zhong, when he suddenly sneezed.

……

Dressed up as a handyman, Tang Xiao followed Ye Xiucheng into the outer gate of the Xixia Sect, and arrived at a very remote residence.

"I'm usually the only one in this small courtyard, and no one will come. If you want to go out for a stroll, you can only wait for me to be free. Don't run around alone on weekdays, so as not to be discovered."

"Uh-huh."

Tang Xiao nodded, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure that had been following them quietly retreating.

It looks like a handyman, no handyman here should know me, right?I've only seen Yue Guanshan, the two elders and a few deacons... who are staring at the little brother of the Ye family!

She walked around the small yard of Ye Xiucheng twice with great interest. The yard was almost the same as a small farmyard, with a crude prohibition protection. A few herbs needed for body training were planted in the yard. Although the quality of the herbs was not satisfactory, but The care seems pretty good.

These medicinal herbs are not rare even on the Doll Mountain, she became playful, opened the restriction set by Ye Xiucheng casually, and then went in to pick and choose among the medicinal herbs.

"This can be used as a sachet, and it can be added to the stir-fry at night. Oh, this is of no use. Why does this grow like a weed?"

She was pulling out the herbs while commenting on them. Ye Xiucheng who was watching from the side was picking at his toes and his face was visibly red. He was angry at first sight. The deacon of the herb hall didn't give him the herbs he wanted. They said it was sold out. He went to the mountains to find it by himself with a lot of effort. He took good care of it for more than a month before it became like this. Ye Xiaoxiao's little hands were pulling it here and there as if choosing vegetables. , all suffered in a blink of an eye.

This girl really came to take revenge on him!
He was very depressed, but he was not good at attacking her, so he could only say with a gloomy expression:

"Come out after you've finished venting your anger. There are still some vegetable seeds inside that haven't sprouted yet."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the house, he was thinking about how to let the old man teach him more powerful restraints, so that his medicine would not suffer again in the future.

Thinking of not being able to sleep in the next few nights and having to go to the mountains to find medicinal materials again, he was extremely depressed. It seemed that Ye Xiaoxiao would cause trouble for himself in the future, so he had to keep an eye on her, and hoped that she would live for a few days and finish her work Qi will leave obediently, otherwise he can only find a way to drive her out again.

Tang Xiao stood in the courtyard, looking curiously at the young man's embarrassed back, remembering the only Ye Peng who smiled at Ye Xiao, he couldn't help but sigh.

……

At this time, outside a cave in the inner gate, a pock-faced young man dressed as a handyman was standing respectfully in front of a monk in the condensation period.

This person is a new disciple of Taoist Lianfeng. Although he has not yet established a foundation, he has good qualifications and is very good at getting things done. He is very filial to Taoist Lianfeng.

Because Taoist Lianfeng's status in the sect fell a lot due to Chen Denghai, Taoist Lianfeng didn't like to see Ye Xiucheng very much, so this new apprentice, together with the deacons under Taoist Lianfeng, gave Ye Xiucheng many small Shoes to wear.

"really?"

"The younger one followed him all the way. He did lead the person to his own courtyard."

The condensing monk narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"It's fine to secretly improve the food for that person in the dungeon, but now he dares to secretly lead an outsider into the sect. Does he think this is his home? Just an outer disciple."

As he said that, he turned and looked at the Deacon Establishing the Foundation beside him:
"Senior Brother Song, an outer disciple brought someone into the mountain without permission. Can you expel him?"

"Not enough, it depends on the origin of the person he brings, if it is someone from the Gu clan or someone related to the demon clan, hehe."

"Hmph, then the person he brings must be one of the two."
