Chapter 168 The Tradition of Little Green Mountain
Chapter 168 The Tradition of Little Green Mountain
"But Xiaoxiao, do you know the rules of our Little Green Mountain lineage?"
"rule?"
The girl scratched her head and looked over, somewhat bewildered.
Although she was brought back to the Sword Sect by two Immortal Venerables.
But I know very little about Xiaoqingshan.
I've never heard those two immortal venerables mention it on their own initiative.
On the contrary, it was the senior sister from the Pill Hall who gave a few reminders.
That place is a place of sorrow.
Each time she went there, it made her sad.
Xiaoxiao's understanding of Xiaoqingshan is limited to this.
I know nothing else.
Therefore, the so-called 'rules' that Liu Meng mentioned are completely unfamiliar terms to her.
It's totally unclear.
"Yes! It's the rule!" After the little fox finished speaking, he deliberately didn't continue. Instead, he put a piece of jerky in his mouth and chewed it, intentionally whetting Xiao Xiao's appetite.
"What...is it a very strict set of mountain rules?"
It seems that on some mountain peaks, the rules are very strict.
There are many rules and regulations.
If a disciple breaks the rules, he/she will be punished very severely.
This was something she overheard her senior sister Dan Tang mention.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Now, hearing the little fox say that, I suddenly remembered.
Could it be that the rules on Little Green Mountain are the same?
That peak master is an extremely strict person.
Could he be that kind of... rigid and dogmatic... old immortal?
Xiao Xiao pictured an old man with a furrowed brow and a serious expression in her mind.
If that's the case, then I really should become a disciple of Xiao Qingshan one day.
Life on the mountain won't be any harder than it is in the herb field, will it?
She couldn't help but shiver.
But then I thought about it again.
I understand a little now.
That's probably how it is, that's what I think.
It was precisely because of that strict immortal venerable.
Only then could they be nurtured, those two immortal venerables, and the kind and lovely senior sister before them.
Otherwise, they might not be so kind and respectable.
Xiao Xiao felt that she had finally understood.
She thought about it for a long time.
The little fox beside me finally finished eating the jerky.
I took a sip of the sugar water.
Only then did he slowly and leisurely begin to speak.
"The rules of Little Green Hill are..."
Xiao Xiao quickly focused her attention and turned to look.
I was fully focused, waiting for my senior sister to speak.
She said, "The disciples who join later are responsible for miscellaneous tasks on the mountain, and they must obey their senior sister's every word! They cannot disobey her!"
"Say, 'I'll listen to your advice'?"
Xiao Xiao felt lost and confused.
This is a little different from what she expected.
Shouldn't we obey our master's every word?
How did she become a senior sister?
"Yes! That means that once you're up the mountain, you'll do whatever your senior sister tells you to do."
"Ah, is that so..."
"And then you're also responsible for...starting the fire, cooking, fetching water, chopping wood, watering the flowers, sweeping the floor..."
It seems they anticipated Xiaoxiao's doubts.
Before she could ask, the little fox spoke up.
"This is cultivation! It's something every disciple has to do after they come up the mountain! They have to keep doing it until... the next disciple after you enters the sect!"
"Ah, is that so..."
"Yes, yes, if you don't believe me... after you enter the sect, go ask Senior Brother Xu Nian. Ask him if I'm doing this now, if I'm... so diligent."
As the little fox spoke, its cheeks flushed slightly.
Perhaps it's because the weather is too hot and stuffy.
Although it is already autumn.
But it's still hot!
It's not shame or embarrassment.
She continued.
"This isn't exploitation or bullying; it's just... it's..."
For a moment, she couldn't think of any words to fool her junior sister.
I was furious.
My third senior sister never told me about this.
She didn't teach her!
How can I explain this?
Just as I was having a headache, I suddenly heard Xiaoxiao speak.
The girl tentatively asked in a low voice, "Is it so that the new disciples... can temper their character?"
The little fox blinked its eyes.
His eyes lit up. "Yes! That's it! To temper one's character!"
Previously, she had hoped that Xiaoxiao would become a student.
Now, they are determined to win!
We must get Xiaoxiao into the business!
Once you get her started, this kid will brainwash herself!
Then you won't need to fool people yourself!
They do everything themselves!
At this moment, the little fox seemed to have already seen the day when it would lie down and do nothing!
As long as Xiaoxiao becomes a disciple of Xiaoqingshan, as long as she goes up to the top.
Then you don't have to do anything.
What was it like to sweep leaves, or boil water for cooking?
You don't need to do it yourself anymore!
Then it will all be Xiaoxiao's problem!
"Good junior sister! What else would you like to eat? I'll go buy it for you!"
The two of them just bought a lot of things.
We've been eating for over half an hour.
But it only cost one ingot of silver.
There's still one ingot of silver left.
Xiao Xiao's originally happy face turned bitter upon hearing these words.
"Senior sister, Xiaoxiao is really not going to make it. She has already eaten a lot."
"Oh, you've only just begun! Come on, let's go get something else to eat!"
Before Xiaoxiao could refuse.
The little fox took her hand and continued walking forward.
I went to buy more food.
I've already digested everything I ate.
My stomach is empty.
I need to eat more.
Besides, if you can't eat staple food, you can eat sweets.
Anyway, the two things aren't stored in the same place.
The staple food is from one place.
Sweets are a place.
Eat different kinds of food.
After having a full meal of staple food, it's time for dessert.
Once you're full from sweets, the main course will be mostly digested.
Why think so much!
Just eat and that’s it!
……

"Boss, is this really going to work? I have a feeling that girl has some kind of cultivation! Her strength is unfathomable!"
In a dark alley.
Several figures.
One person poked their head out and stared at the two figures walking on the street outside the alley.
The next few people gathered together.
The short man with shifty eyes had a bitter expression on his face.
"Boss, what if that girl is a direct descendant of some powerful family, or a disciple of some major sect? If we offend her, we're doomed."
Those around him were also somewhat worried.
The bald man in the middle waved his hand with a smile.
"Not really."
Seeing everyone's confusion, he smiled and spoke.
“Have you ever seen any direct descendants of a powerful family who only take silver? Such guys are just idiots from wealthy families who are neither high nor low. There’s no risk in kidnapping them and extorting money from them.”
The bald man had no expression on his face.
I was speechless.
I was just worried about offending someone I couldn't afford to mess with.
That's why they targeted the two of them.
The two girls were both quite young.
The short one looks silly and not very smart.
The tall one also had an innocent look on his face.
They probably don't have much strength.
And judging from his clothes, they were actually quite ordinary.
He is definitely not a member of a prominent family, nor a disciple of a major sect.
That powerful person left these two little girls walking alone on the street.
There really are protectors of the Way.
It has been around for a while.
So, it's definitely not.
At most, he just has some minor family connections.
A nouveau riche who ran away from home.
He held two silver ingots in his hand, as if afraid others wouldn't see them.
She was afraid others wouldn't know she had money.
If I'm not mistaken, she has more than just silver on her.
There are probably spirit stones too!
It's something that everyone needs!
Grab him!
Stealing spirit stones!
Then kidnap her and extort money from the forces behind her!
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
After the bald man finished speaking...
My brothers around me are still a bit worried.
You look at me, I look at you.
Finally, it was the short, shifty-eyed man who spoke up.
"Will that work? I really feel that girl has cultivation."
"It's alright. She has cultivation, but so do we brothers. At such a young age, at most we're only at the advanced stage of Body Refinement. A few of us at Body Refinement level can't handle such a little girl?"
The group of men were originally bandits from the mountains outside Yangcheng.
But recently, demonic cultivators have been causing trouble, leading to a surge of refugees, and the local people have either left or fled.
Even passing merchants couldn't make much money off them.
Some people, upon seeing their brothers, immediately committed suicide.
They didn't even give him a chance to speak.
If you're willing to risk your life, what money do you have left?
Of course there is none.
So there is no way.
The only option was to descend the mountain and head towards the Sword Sect.
I saw a pair of fat sheep while passing by the market.
How could I possibly hold back?!
We must extort a hefty sum from them!
Unfortunately, the brothers around him were all cowards.
They are really incapable of achieving great things!
After thinking for a while, the group realized that none of them had any spirit stones left, and they were almost out of silver as well.
If this continues.
There's nowhere to sleep at night!
They could only find a cave on the mountain to rest for the night.
My heart pounded with fear.
I was terrified of encountering a lone wolf or a tiger while I was sleeping at night.
Or perhaps other wild beasts.
After careful consideration, a fierce look appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Let's do it! This is the one!"
