My Attribute Cultivation Life

Chapter 3 Situation

In the lane, Zhang Rongfang looked at the direction Xiao Qingying and the two left until he could not see them. Back, then turned to leave.

Along the way, he came across Cultivation Disciple wearing a light blue daoist robe and a white shirt from time to time.

Every time he kept having to stop, stand aside to clear the way and bow his head.

In Clear Peace Palace, Disciple is divided into Cultivation Disciple and Handy Disciple.

Strictly speaking, Disciples are temporary workers and can be dismissed at any time.

But Cultivation Disciple is different, so the rules of etiquette are very strict.

If there is any rudeness, the light ones will face the wall and think about being the hardest laborer, and the heavy ones will be beaten by dozens of sticks, or even thrown down the mountain.

Zhang Rongfang soon arrived at the washing room and began to clean up the dirty clothes brought in by buckets with the other dozen or so handymen.

Clothes, crowns, flat shoes, high boots, belts, etc., everything that needs to be cleaned will be thrown here.

After a hard day’s work, it was almost half past ten in the evening, and finally the rest was over.

As soon as it was over, Zhang Rongfang went straight to the Taoist management room with the money in his chest without stopping.

Not long after he came out of the management room, the silver purse on his body was completely shriveled, and there was only a little bit of the 2 taels of silver he had accumulated for a long time.

Relaxed, he looked ahead.

The Clear Peace Palace at night is full of lit oil lamps and candles.

In the direction of the three great halls and the dojo, there are still subtle chanting sounds, which are not the voices of Taoists, but some devout pilgrims staying in the palace chanting sutras.

It is the Infinite Heart Sutra.

Zhang Rongfang walked along the cobblestone path to the rearmost Disciple bungalow area.

The twilight drums of dong dong dong drifted from a distance, sometimes stronger and weaker with the wind.

At the same time, along with the sound of the wind, there were also bursts of the aroma of some kind of barbecue.

Zhang Rongfang swallowed his saliva involuntarily. The black-faced steamed buns he ate in the cafeteria in the afternoon were not enough for him to stick between his teeth.

Disciple’s meal is two black noodles per meal, a dish of kimchi, and a bowl of egg drop soup that you can see at the bottom of the bowl at a glance.

A steamed bun is only half a fist, which is barely enough for someone who doesn’t move, but it’s not enough for a handyman Disciple who needs to do hard labor.

Passing by a cliff cloud platform, Zhang Rongfang paused and looked down from the cloud platform.

A dark cloud fills the bottom of the mountain, the crescent moon above it shines brightly, and the mountains in the distance are silent, only the wind whistled past.

Two noble men in sables also stood in the right corner of the cloud platform, talking in a low voice, not knowing whether it was watching the moon or talking.

Zhang Rongfang glanced at the light of Dao Palace, the brown fur of the sable fur was slightly reflective under the rays of light, and it was shiny and smooth.

He had always thought that sable fur was purple, but now, he didn’t see any purple at all.

“What are you doing here? Don’t affect the layman!” A group of patrolling priests walking behind him scolded in a low voice.

The man who took the lead was tall and strong, with a black beard, holding a lantern in one hand and a long stick in the other.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a tiger crossing the mountain, with bright eyes and a lot of power.

Zhang Rongfang was secretly sighed in his heart. Disciple, a handyman, has no human rights.

On the surface, he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

“Yes. I’ll be right back.” He replied.

That tall and strong Taoist Daoist named Qishan is the Cultivation Disciple who leads the team during this period of patrol.

Zhang Rongfang had seen him several times and was quite impressed.

This person is a little over two meters tall, with a thick waist and broad shoulders, and strong limbs.

<> Daoist Qi Shanp nods to the district, watching Zhang Rongfang trot quickly moved towards Servant Disciple Bungalow, only then looked away and continued to patrol.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

During this half month, Zhang Rongfang went to and from the washing room, the homework dojo, the canteen, and the Disciple bungalow area every day.

The dry food he eats every day is completely oil-free, so he doesn’t feel any signs of accumulating attribute points at all.

You know, every time he accumulates attributes, he can feel a little bit of heat gathering in his body.

But once the consumption is too large, this accumulated heat will be significantly weakened.

For more than ten days, Zhang Rongfang had to wash the clothes in large buckets every day, which was very physically exhausting.

He knew in his heart that he had to find a way out of this state.

But everything is not without good news. After sending the money, Disciple’s second elimination went down the mountain, and his name was not in it.

This made Zhang Rongfang relax in his heart.

Daoism is highly valued in Great Ling. If you can go higher in the future, the treatment will be much better.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Clear Peace Palace sent away a group of distinguished guests who came to have a tea party, and started a new round of Cultivation Disciple screening every year.

Zhang Rongfang saw that the attribute points on his attribute column were not much at all, still 0, and he realized more and more that he couldn’t waste time like this.

But for a while, he didn’t have a good idea.

April 1183.

Zhang Rongfang carried two buckets of clothes and walked along the mountain road towards the mountainside drying yard.

It was slightly bright, and the entire Clear Peace Palace had a rectangular structure. The drying field at the back was next to the stone wall of the mountain forest, which was located outside the Dao Palace wall.

Except for the Taoists who came to dry clothes, basically no one would come here.

All around are bare woods and piles of miserable stones.

Zhang Rongfang took a few steps to take a break. On the one hand, the road here is not easy to walk. On the other hand, the fog in the mountains is thick at this time, and some can’t see the front.

Every time like this, he heard the senior brother and senior sister who washed the house say that there might be monkeys and hozens in the mountains running out to steal clothes.

So be extra careful.

When drying clothes, someone must guard them. This time Zhang Rongfang was considered good luck, and he got this fairly leisurely job.

The two buckets of clothing weighed sixty pounds, and he had to pick at least fifteen buckets back and forth, which was only part of the robes.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Rongfang wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to continue on his way.

At this moment, in the fog in the front left, there were faint voices.

“. Didn’t come, what’s the matter? Did you get suspected by her before?” said a depressed young man.

“I don’t know. Probably not. She was having a heart-to-heart with me last night,” another female voice replied in panic.

“Anyway, I’m going to town to buy this time. You are responsible for creating opportunities. Give me this thing and put it in her bottle gourd before I set off.” The male voice lowered as much as possible.

Zhang Rongfang’s heart froze. It wasn’t the first time he heard someone speak in private, but this time. There seems to be something wrong.

In Dao Palace, because the wind is strong, once the wind is down, the sound from a dozen meters away, even if it is suppressed, can still be heard to some extent.

And the parties are often not easy to detect.

Zhang Rongfang stood still for a moment and slowly stepped back.

There is generally no one here. Since the other party is secretly discussing this kind of thing, if he is discovered, the consequences may not be good.

Then he heard some explanations one after another.

He didn’t want to take care of this kind of thing, and he didn’t have the ability to take care of it, but just when he was about to turn around and wanted to leave, a name suddenly entered his ear.

Xiao Qingying!

Zhang Rongfang stood still, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

After a pause, he continued to step back for a while, and then he deliberately hummed the Taoist scriptures and walked ahead with his clothes on.

The voice drifted far forward, and soon he reached the position just now, and he really didn’t hear the voice.

Obviously, the two who were secretly talking heard him approaching and left early.

Zhang Rongfang was thinking about it as he rushed forward.

He didn’t know who the speaker was, but he remembered the voice. In addition, the speech mentioned that he was going to the town to buy medicine. It seems that Xiao Qingying should be plotted against on the way to the town to buy.

Then as long as she finds out when she is going to town, she can secretly remind her to report.

After reporting the letter, if something happened, then on the one hand, he could repay Xiao Qingying’s favor last time, and on the other hand, he might still be able to.

Zhang Rongfang’s expression remained still. , went to the drying yard as usual, and put all the clothes on the drying pole with another Disciple, and pulled and patted them neatly in rows.

He didn’t go to report the letter immediately, but still guarded the drying yard. He ate the black steamed buns he brought with him in the middle, and didn’t pack up his clothes until the sun went down in the afternoon.

It’s been a busy day until I finish my homework tonight, when the twilight drum is about to start.

Zhang Rongfang quickly got up from the dojo and moved towards Xiao Rong who was about to leave.

Xiao Rong is the preacher who is in charge of all Disciple homework. His status is higher than that of ordinary Cultivation Disciple, equivalent to the deacon in Clear Peace Palace. Only under Palace Lord, Supervisor, and Palace Lord.

He is also Xiao Qingying’s biological father.

Xiao Rong This person has a beard face, and he always carries a bottle gourd on his body, but there are usually very few drinks in it.

It is rumored that he is an alcoholic who is not just in name only, but also in reality, but he is rarely seen drinking.

At this time, Xiao Rong saw that a handyman Disciple got up and rushed towards him in the dojo. The pace was quicker, and he also paused for a while.

“Anything?”

Zhang Rongfang showed cup one fist in the other hand and saluted. After bowing, he said, “Disciple Zhang Rongfang, I have seen Master Mingguang.”

“Anything?” p>

“Come on, the drums are going to play again.” Xiao Rong has a mild temper and doesn’t have any bad thoughts on Disciple.

His Dao name is also called Mingguang, and he has an officially certified Master title, so his honorary title is generally called Master Mingguang.

“That’s right, Disciple went to the mountainside to dry clothes during the day.” Zhang Rongfang didn’t hide anything, and truthfully told everything he heard.

As for how to judge, he believes that Xiao Rong has his own judgment.

As he talked little by little, Xiao Rong at first’s somewhat sloppy expression gradually became solemn.

After Zhang Rongfang finished speaking, he pondered for a while, glanced at the Disciple that had long since dispersed around him, and waved his hand.

“Are you sure you heard correctly?”

“Yes!” Zhang Rongfang solemnly nodded.

“If you were to hear the sound of the morning again, would you be able to distinguish it?” Xiao Rong asked.

“It should be possible! I didn’t dare to confirm.” Zhang Rongfang disapproved.

Xiao Rong looked thoughtful. Then he carefully looked at the Disciple in front of him.

“This matter is very important. You have thought about it. If you slander other Disciples, you will be punished with fifty canes. With your body and bones, there is basically no way to survive.” He spoke again.

“Disciple doesn’t dare to make a half-sentence.” Zhang Rongfang said seriously, “Actually, Xiao Qingying Senior Sister helped Disciple once in the alley next to Profound Heart Hall. Disciple has always remembered Be careful. Originally, if it was someone else, Disciple should not have dared to rush out to report it, but I heard that Senior Sister Xiao was involved, Disciple would not dare to worry at all anyway.”

Zhang Rongfang’s face is sincere and frank, no matter in his past life or now, he has the same character, gratitude and grudges are clear. Gratitude will be rewarded.

So this remark comes from the bottom of my heart and speaks with conviction.

Hearing this, Xiao Rong’s eyes moved slightly. Disciple’s composition is not very good. Among them, there are people like this person, who can speak clearly, think clearly, and have kindness and righteousness. It is extremely rare.

In the Disciple of Disciples, most of them are abandoned sons from nearby towns who were sent by various families to occupy Taoist status.

Many of them have been trained in how to serve others before coming here. As for reading, literacy, clear articulation, and clear thinking, there are not many.

These days, not everyone is qualified to read and write. Even if the rich peasants and rich households have this spare money, they must have this time and energy.

Not to mention such kindness
