Chapter 62 Choice

Izumo Mountain.

This is a mountainous area located in the central part of Wenxin Kingdom. The entire mountainous area covers an area of ​​about 100,000 square kilometers. There are thousands of peaks, the highest of which is the main peak of Izumo Mountain, Zhaixing Peak.

Zhaixing Peak is located in the east of the Izumo Mountains. The peak is 6,800 meters high. The top of the mountain was originally covered with snow all the year round, but there is only one pool named Yingyue Lake.

It is said that Shuiyue Daoist attained great enlightenment here, broke through the realm and ascended, left classics to pass on to future generations, and then became the Moon Washing School.

Now this peak has become the main peak of the Xiyue Sect. Under the action of the big formation, the ice and snow melt, and the four seasons are like spring. The surroundings are covered with white clouds, and there are ice and snow in the distance.

Outside Zhaixing Peak, there are nineteen peaks surrounding it. This is the famous Nineteen Star Peak, which is where Nineteen Tiankui is located. Between Zhaixing Peak and Nineteen Stars Peak, there are some low hills, one of which is particularly conspicuous. The walls of the peak are smooth and there is no place for climbing. The sword stands on the ground, this is Shenjian Peak.

To be precise, this itself is a mountain peak transformed into a sword - Tianxuan Mie Shenjian.

Outside the Nineteen Stars Peak, there are more than 300 peaks surrounding it. This is the main peak group, and it is also the place where most of the disciples of the Xiyue Sect are distributed.

On the west side of the main peak group, there is also a large mountain area, which is the natural area.

The natural area is not a residential area, but a hunting area, and there are a lot of monsters in it, which exist in the form of free range. Compared with the monsters that the students experienced back then, the monsters here are much stronger. It is said that there are many monsters that have transformed themselves, and even those who are distracted or above may exist.

These monsters were specially reserved by the Moon Washing Sect to train the younger generations, and they were also treated as grazing areas, harvested every year. If Xiyuedongtian is the private land of the family, then Izumo Natural Area is the place for grazing. Although it is not as stable as Xiyuedongtian, surprises often happen.

Of course, those monsters also have desires for the cultivators. When the cultivators came to hunt, they were also being hunted by the monsters. Everyone hunted each other and got what they needed, which made some cultivators die in vain every year.

However, this is the way of cultivating the Tao. Even in this era of great rule, it is inevitable to have some actions to manipulate the enemy and cause disasters, so as to motivate oneself to make continuous progress.

In fact, to a certain extent, the difference between great governance and great chaos is that the former can control those cruel and dark things within a limited range, while the latter is completely out of control.

Tang Jie and others, led by four selected disciples, flew all the way towards the main peak group. Wei Tianchong was indispensable along the way.

Qi Shaoming pointed out the scenery for them. Because of the relationship between the true biography, these two people are old horses who know the way in Izumo Mountain. Liu Hongyan only made an appointment for the true biography, and has not yet had the opportunity to formally become a disciple, so she is also not familiar with the headquarters of the Xiyue Sect.

"Welcome Peak is in front of you. This is the east gate of the Xiyue Sect. It is also the place where new disciples settle down. It is responsible for reception." Wei Tianchong pointed to a small peak in the main peak group and said, "Where do we go then?" It will be decided there."

"Where do we go?" Shi Meng asked.

"En." Wei Tianchong nodded: "It's the entrance of the distribution hall. Let Shaoming explain this. Shaoming's teacher Hongyang Zhenren is the hall master and knows the internal rules of the Xiyue Sect best. Yingke Peak is the auditorium master. He understands this better than me. After a while, we will arrive at the Yingke Peak, and he will be the young master of that peak, so everyone should flatter us."

Qi Shaoming gave Wei Tianchong a shot: "You are the only one who talks too much."

Everyone has burst into laughter.

Qi Shaoming was also polite, and immediately explained to everyone.

Joining the Moon Cleansing Sect does not mean that one can practice with peace of mind every day. Every cultivator should have his own position, and have his own tasks and responsibilities to complete. There are sixteen halls inside and outside the Xiyue School, and there are countless sub-rudders outside, each with its own duties.

Because of this, the first thing new disciples have to do is to choose a hall.

"Isn't it true that everyone is busy in the secular world every day and has no time to practice?" Shi Meng asked. He was most worried about not having time to practice. If he joined the Moon Cleansing Sect and was busy with mundane and trivial matters every day, and didn't even have the time to practice, what's the point?

"How is that possible?" Qi Shaoming said with a smile: "Actually, regardless of the old and new disciples, everyone's affairs are very free and easy. The choice is yours."

Under his narration, everyone gradually understood.

It turned out that in order to balance trivial matters and cultivation, the Xiyue Sect adopted the well-known contribution system.

The supply and demand in the school are all based on the contribution, and the living expenses are based on the contribution, supplemented by spiritual money, and the tasks under each class are the channels to obtain the contribution. Because of this, except for the on-duty disciples, other disciples can get contributions by accepting tasks in the main hall, as long as they can ensure their survival in the faction.

The mission model of the Moonwashing Academy is a copy of the model of the Moonwashing School, and it also allows everyone to adapt in advance.

With the strength of a moon washing disciple, generally he only needs to perform the tasks of his sect for one month, and the contributions he can get are enough to pay for a year's needs.

That is to say, one month's work is done, and the rest of the time is free to practice.

Such a beautiful job, why not do it?

"So that's how it is." After hearing Qi Shaoming's explanation, everyone felt more at ease.

The Xiyue sect is a society where people are superfluous. There are more than 100,000 masters and disciples in the sect. Among them, there are about 90,000 disciples and about 10,000 inner disciples. With such a huge manpower, and their abilities beyond ordinary people, they deal with very few affairs, and the extra time is used for cultivation and play. Even the so-called one-month work is nothing more than going to a certain place to solve a difficult problem or battle. If it is really counted as working hours, it may not even be a day.

However, it is precisely because of this that practitioners can accept this kind of life, otherwise, if they work hard to climb up, and only toil for running around, who would be willing?

The cultivators rely on force to absorb the blood of the people in the world to enrich themselves. It is only a Moon Cleansing Sect that consumes countless manpower and material resources to make sacrifices in order to achieve the current scale.

Don't think that cultivators are really making money by working on their own. The spiritual money they get every month after becoming a formal disciple is far more than what they pay. The reason why all cultivators are required to do things is mainly to restrain the sloppy temperament of the cultivators and make them accustomed to obeying the orders of the Moon Cleansing Sect, otherwise there is no organization at all, and it is useless to have a school shelf.

This is the meaning of contribution. There are many things in the Moonwashing Sect that cannot be bought with spiritual money alone, and can only be obtained through contributions. In this way, some moon-washing disciples used spiritual money instead of contributions to save themselves from hard labor—the moon-washing sect needs strong men who are willing to practice hard, but they never need strong men who don't care about world affairs.

After listening to Qi Shaoming's introduction at this moment, everyone understood.

Someone remembered something and shouted: "Huh? The last time I remembered about the Shimen faction, Tang Jie, didn't you get a thousand contributions? Doesn't that mean that you won't have to do anything for the next year?"

Qi Shaoming smiled and said, "You guys understand? It's not one year, it's five years! If Tang Jie is willing to save some money, it will take six or seven years to contribute a thousand points."

"Is this contribution so valuable?" Everyone was surprised.

"It depends on how you spend it." This time it was Wei Tianchong who answered: "If you just find a cave and drill in casually, then the lowest-level cave only needs ten points of contribution per month, no servants, Naturally, it is enough to go down the mountain to buy everything by yourself. But if you want to keep improving and go up to the upper floors, or in the Xiaoyao School, to appreciate the demeanor of all walks of life, then even 10,000 points may not be enough."

Following Wei Tianchong's introduction, everyone knew that many things in the Xiyue Sect of love are related to contributions.

Want to learn new spells? OK, take a contribution. As long as there is enough contribution, the Divine Firmament Sword Code can also be viewed.

Want to live in a cave full of aura? OK, take a contribution. The entire Izumo mountain area is surrounded by a large formation, which controls not only the risk, but also the distribution of aura. Different caves even have different auras, which are divided into five levels. The lowest level is ten points of contribution per month, followed by fifty, one hundred, two hundred and five hundred points. If you are willing to contribute 3,000 points, it is also possible to live in the Millennium Cave of the Xiyue Sect for a month.

If you want to listen to real people's lectures and teach skills, you need to contribute; if you want to go to various secret places in the sect, you must contribute; even if you want to find a piece of spiritual land in the Xiyue sect to farm by yourself, you have to spend contributions.

The Moonwashing faction is very large, and the Moonwashing faction is very rich, but if you want to get anything or any service here, you almost need to contribute.

If Tang Jie's 1,000 points are used sparingly, it will be no problem for just a few years. If he wants to live a more chic life, it will be very easy to spend all of them within a few days.

Listening to this introduction, all the disciples also looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, Yingke Peak was already in sight, and Qi Shaoming said: "Okay, everyone, stop talking nonsense, and everyone should not talk nonsense when they get to the ground. The people sent by each church have already arrived. According to the regulations of the Xiyue Sect, the disciples are not allowed to choose freely. The hall entrance will be posted by the disciples of the auditorium, and whoever is called at that time will follow. Remember, no matter whether you want to go to the hall or not, you are not allowed to make comments. The most important thing for newcomers to enter the sect is to know each other."

"Yes!" Everyone answered solemnly at the same time.

During the conversation, we have reached the peak of welcoming guests.

The first thing you can see on the top of the peak is a resplendent and magnificent hall.

In front of the hall is a square paved with bluestone slabs, surrounded by carved railings and jade, and then outside are green pines and cypresses, and there are cranes flying in the air.

On both sides of the square, dozens of disciples wearing moon white robes of the Xiyue School stood on both sides. They were disciples of the auditorium. The auditorium sounds like a ceremonial part, but it is also responsible for internal order, which greatly increases the authority of the auditorium disciples. They are like the picket disciples in Xiyue College, who have the right to punish or even arrest all disciples who exceed the rules and regulations.

There are still some people standing in the center of the square, they are the governors of each hall, who are in charge of selecting people from this batch of new disciples and introducing them to the hall. If one or two talents with outstanding qualifications can be obtained, the reputation can be further strengthened.

Internal competition has always been universal.

When Tang Jie arrived, the fat man in white robes who greeted him first, without looking at the crowd, first saluted Qi Shaoming, and then said: "Zhou Jinghai has met Mr. Qi, and all the students."

Qi Shaoming said coldly: "Zhou Jinghai, according to the rules of washing the moon, you should respect first and then be inferior. Why don't you meet the four seniors who are selected first and me first? In terms of seniority, the four seniors who are selected first! You As the head of the auditorium, you actually made such a mistake?"

Zhou Jinghai's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's a small mistake, don't blame the four brothers."

Qi Shaoming is not like Wei Tianchong, he has practiced with Li Hongyang these years, he is talented and willing to endure hardships, so he is deeply loved by Li Hongyang. It was precisely because of this that even though his new disciple joined the sect, Zhou Jinghai, the subordinate of the auditorium, was also willing to flatter him. It's a pity that he didn't flatter him well. Li Hongyang is very polite, and Qi Shaoming is also extremely self-disciplined. How could he allow the people in the auditorium to make such mistakes? Zhou Jinghai slapped the horse's foot, and he was also very regretful.

The leading disciple who chose the hall laughed and said: "It's okay, our responsibility of guiding and recommending has been completed, and then I will trouble Senior Brother Zhou to take them to each hall."

"You're welcome." Zhou Jinghai hurriedly replied with a solemn face.

This time he won't make any mistakes again, and with a complete face, he said loudly: "All subordinates obey the order, all stand in a long line, and come out after hearing the registration, and the rest follow me!"

A large row of students has lined up one after another, waiting to be selected by each hall.

Tang Jie and the others followed Zhou Jinghai into the hall. There were more than ten people sitting in the hall, but they were not as orderly as outside, but seemed much more relaxed and casual. Seeing Tang Jie and the others come in, they all smiled.

Attracting everyone to enter, Zhou Jinghai said: "You are all the darlings of heaven who came out of this year's Xiyue Academy. After entering, you will be formal disciples of the inner sect, so you can freely choose which hall to enter. But after entering, you can easily You can't change the door, so you should choose carefully. These are the heads of each hall. If you have any questions about each hall, you can ask the heads. Let me introduce to you, this is Kutang Shan Xin, this is Zhou Qiong from the Bloody Battle Hall, this is Yue Chen from the Shang Hall, and this is Su Yang from the Dian Hall..."

As he spoke, he introduced everyone in the hall one by one.

A total of fourteen people followed Zhou Jinghai, ten of them were the top ten, and the rest were Tang Jie, Wei Tianchong, Qi Shaoming and Liu Hongyan.

Eighteen halls and fourteen students are doomed to a situation where there are too many monks and too few gruel. Because of this, unlike the cold voices shouting their names outside, the principals of the eighteen branch halls are all smiling. Welcome, one after another introduced the various benefits of this hall to the students.

Don't tell me, I don't know, it's really eye-opening after hearing this.

There are eight internal halls and eight external halls of Xiyue Sect, each of which has its own splendor. Regardless of other things, just speaking of the auditorium, outsiders are ignorant and think it is a hall of etiquette. Who would have thought that they would also play the role of picket and have a great authority. In the same way, others think that inner halls like Ku, Nong, Zhen, and Yao are Qingshui yamen, but they don't know that each hall has its own benefits. Among other things, this is the first month to get close to the water, and many things have to be handled from them.

It can be said that Waibatang seeks benefits from the outside, and Neibatang seeks benefits from its own people. In short, each has its own way.

Of course, these words cannot be stated explicitly, but all kinds of hints are always there. Anyway, the implication is that you will not suffer.

For example, Kutang Shanxin smiled and said: "People only know that Kutang is the treasury of the world, but they don't know that besides the treasury, there are also grain depots, medicine depots, utensil depots and other heavy depots. Some things have been stored for a long time. , there will inevitably be damage, and those that are unusable must be discarded. But in fact, they may not be completely useless, and it is a pity to throw them away. It is precisely because of this that disciples from all walks of life need to be strict."

What he said obviously meant that the disciples should strictly check it, but he implied that there were benefits to be gained from it. Moreover, Kutang controls the world's heavy warehouses, so it can be said that there are all kinds of resources, and you can just keep what kind of warehouses you want. The work is also free, and there is a fixed amount of contribution available for one month of rotation every year. A considerable part of the inventory that is discarded in the month is returned to the disciples.

The same situation exists in other halls, and even halls of war such as Pioneer Hall and Bloody Battle Hall have their own advantages.

The bloody battle hall Zhou Qiong said: "Every time there are monsters in the surrounding mountains. My bloody battle hall belongs to the war department. As the main combat force, I can't be idle all day long. When there is no war, I need to find those monsters to fight. Let's fight together. If there is too much consumption, there must be logistical supplies, and there are also benefits on the battlefield.”

After all, as expected from the war department, he spoke more directly. Let me tell you directly, participating in our war department can organize the largest number of groups to wipe out monsters in the mountains. Although the risk is a bit greater, the benefits are also more, and there will be logistical support in the end. If you win, you will get the benefits of the monsters, which is equivalent to double harvest.

All the disciples looked at each other in dismay.

In fact, in their minds, this Moonwashing Sect should be a place of immortality. Everyone who joins the Sect is their own family. They take on tasks every day if they have something to do, and practice when they have nothing to do. They live a happy and relaxed life.

I never imagined that it would be like this now, even entering the hall would have to argue, and looking at the appearance of the group of people in front of me, it seemed that they were regarded as prey, and everyone was fighting for it.

When he was at a loss, Qi Shaoming smiled and said: "If you can't make a decision, I will make a decision first and set an example. My teacher Li Hongyang, the leader of the auditorium, I am not talented as a disciple, so I can't go elsewhere , continue in the auditorium."

As he spoke, he had already stood beside Zhou Jinghai.

Liu Hongyan interfaced: "Realist Yuliu has decided to accept me as a disciple, so I should go to the Law Hall."

As he spoke, he went to the side of the governor of Nalutang.

Wei Tianchong touched his head and said: "My master is quite the opposite. He said that it is difficult to grow by relying on a big tree, and he asked me to choose a hall by myself, but it must be a foreign hall. You can choose, but you can't choose the altar."

Everyone was speechless at the same time. Sure enough, the favored disciples were treated differently from the unfavored disciples.

But for an apprentice like Wei Tianchong, he should be trained outside.

Thinking about it now, Wei Tianchong said, "I choose Fengtang."

Already three people have been chosen, and the rest of the disciples are no longer polite and choose their own halls one after another.

Cai Junyang chose the Pioneer Hall. The Pioneer Hall is one of the three halls of the war department, and it is also the most dangerous hall. It's not surprising, and only in this place can Tang Jie give him the role of solving all difficulties.

Li Yunfan, an outstanding student of Xiyue College in the same period, he chose the hall, which is also a hall with more battles, but it has a greater degree of freedom.

Yu Hengwei, a student famous for his strong defense in the academy, went to the selection hall.

Soon, the elite students of this period of Xiyue College chose their whereabouts one after another, and only Tang Jie remained in the end.

As the most famous student of Xiyue College, who was recommended by Ming Yekong, everyone is concerned about his movements.

Bloody Battle Hall Zhou Qiong couldn't help shouting: "Tang Jie, come into my Bloody Battle Hall, I will give you a small team, and give you the right to hunt freely in the Izumo Mountain Area!"

It is extremely rare for a rookie to be the captain immediately.

A person next to him said: "I heard that Tang Jie's formation method is of a good standard, you should come to our formation hall to study it. Tang Jie should not underestimate this hall, the formation method research consumes a lot of resources, and only our formation hall can provide it. "

"Then it's better to join my medicine hall. If you have resources, you will have a state, and if you have a state, you will have everything!" An old man with a white beard shouted. It's rare that no one dares to talk to him when he talks. There is no way, the medicine hall has most of the top medicines in Wenxin's country. If you offend him, you can't get along in the future.

At this moment when there are different opinions, Tang Jie suddenly smiled and said: "I appreciate your kindness. But I have made up my mind on this matter. I choose..."

Everyone watched Tang Jie together.

"Secret Hall!"
