I work as a cook in Xuanmen

Chapter 7 Lize
The days of helping in the kitchen are boring and long. In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since I came here, and it’s time to get paid.

As soon as Rong Xuan arrived at the kitchen in the morning, he said, "The low-grade spiritual stones will be distributed today. Uncle Master will go to the Secretary's Office with us to collect them later."

"Oh, you can arrange it, I don't know how to get it."

I held a pot of sweet potatoes and threw it into the wooden basin with great effort, and used a stick made of wood to clean it in it.

After eating the fasting meal, the other disciples who had eaten the fasting meal left the hall one after another. Rong Xuan and Rongling and I stayed behind to clean up. Rong Xuan asked the other three disciples to collect the spiritual stones first and then come back to replace us.

It was already the end of the day when we were busy, and we saw the three of them returning to the kitchen.

When Rong Xuan Rongling and I arrived at the Secretary's Office, there were not many disciples here.

"Rong Xuan."

After calling his name, Rong Xuan stepped forward to receive the spirit stone, and Rong Ling also received it.

I didn't see him calling my name for a while.

I stuck my head in and asked the disciple who had found the spiritual stone, "Why isn't there mine?"

"Master-uncle's share was taken away by the sect leader yesterday. He said he was afraid that you would spend money indiscriminately, so he would save it for you first." The disciple who was being questioned blushed and replied with a groan.

"Apocalypse... No, my master has left seclusion?" I almost yelled by mistake. In this Xuanqing sect where the master's destiny is greater than the sky, this is a big sin.

No, my salary was stolen by him. I stared angrily, "I...where is he? I'm going to get it back."

Rong Xuan pulled me and glanced around, "Uncle Master, the sect leader is usually in the Zongzheng Hall..."

After hearing about Zongzhengdian, I ran to the stone slab where Li Yun took me to sit last time and stood on it, but the stone slab did not move.

I tried jumping a few times, but still indifferent. I came down to study for a long time, but I couldn't find any clues.

The passing disciples all covered their mouths and snickered. I grabbed Rong Xuan who was chasing me and said, "What's going on? I was sitting fine last time, but now I can't move."

"This can only be activated by a monk at the elixir-formation stage or above. My great-nephew is not that capable yet."

I looked up at the cliff, which was so high that it was impossible to climb up it.

"You can send a message to Li Yun and ask him to take me, or you can find your uncle and master."

Rong Xuan lowered his eyes for a while and then said, "I just sent a message to the master. He said that he would have to wait for a while. Why don't you come back to the hall with me and come back later when the master comes?"

"It's okay. You all have received the spirit stones, but I haven't. I'm just waiting here. I want to ask old man Tianqi to find out."

"He caught me in the mountains. I don't blame him. He didn't let me go home to see my parents. I don't blame him either. But he actually wanted to keep the spiritual stones that I had earned so hard for so many days. How could I swallow them?" Take this breath."

As I talked, I wanted to cry again. No, crying can't solve the problem, and I don't want to make myself so weak.

Weakness can be bullied!

Seeing that he couldn't persuade me, Rong Xuan had no choice but to leave alone.

Although I have been in Xuanqing Sect for a month, I know very few people. Most of the people in the sect are immersed in cultivating themselves, and they don’t even say hello when we meet.

At this moment, I am standing here, but I am more conspicuous. Most of the monks gathered in the square are in the late stage of Qi training and early stage of foundation building. The disciples with low cultivation level like me are usually wandering around the mountain gate.

It just so happens that I have a higher seniority, so most people will walk around when they see me.

But as long as we are human, there will be greed, anger, stupidity, pride and suspicion, just like now, a crazy woman rushed towards the square.

"Hey, why are you here? You can only go to the square after practicing on the fifth level. Don't you understand the rules?"

I raised my eyes and looked over. I didn't provoke her here, and I usually stayed in the kitchen, so naturally I didn't know many people.

I thought it was better to do less than to do more. I couldn't beat her and I was afraid that I would be hurt, so I took a few steps back and said, "I'm waiting for Lize."

She laughed out loud as if she had heard a big joke, "Master Lize is the one you can call by his first name? I think you just joined the sect and don't understand the rules." I was struck by her again and again. The third move made her angry. He couldn't beat her, so he had to take a few steps back, "Are you in charge of the square? What am I doing to you by standing here?"

"Why can't I understand what you are doing?"

As she spoke, several other disciples came up behind her. One of them pulled her, "Jingwei, please stop losing your temper. I haven't messed with you. You have lost the monster yourself and cannot complete the task. Why blame others, at worst we can go there again later, it’s no big deal, if this matter gets serious, it will inevitably end badly."

"It's easy to say. After using so many multi-dimensional elixirs, the monster still ran away. You don't make me feel bad!"

It turns out that you have no place to vent your anger, so you can pick on the soft ones. Hum, I can’t beat you now. When I become more powerful in the future, I won’t take care of you.

The girl who had just comforted her came over and said, "I'm sorry, Jingwei has a bad temper. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't take it personally."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Go away now, madman.

I waved my hand, wishing they would stay away from me.

"My name is Jingyi. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will tell you."

I waved my hand, "It's okay, I'm waiting for someone here."

Jingyi and others apologized and took Jingwei back. They could still hear Jingwei laughing loudly at me for waiting for Lize.

"You didn't hear that she called Master Lize by his name."

"Oh, it's none of your business. Why are you worrying so much?" Jingyi was still trying to persuade her.

But I have a better impression of this girl Jingyi. She speaks in a leisurely manner and is polite to others.

Several people had just walked a few steps when they all stopped and bowed to the figure floating down from the sky, "I've seen the master."

"Jingwei went to Siguo Cave and was imprisoned for a hundred days to initiate the second level punishment."

Lize's cold tone determined Jingwei's guilt, and he slowly walked up to me, clasped his fists and bowed, "I've seen my uncle, please follow my disciples to the Zongzheng Hall to meet my master."

Although Lize is wearing the same long blue gown, he has a unique charm. His movements and gestures have a gentle and elegant temperament that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

It's as long and handsome as Rong Xuan said.

But he also has clear rewards and punishments and is selfless.

I stared at Li Ze's face intently, and he coughed a little shyly before pulling me out of my daze.

Jingwei stared at me with big eyes and looked at me in disbelief. She had just recovered from the fear of being punished and imprisoned in the cave when she saw Lize saluting me. Only then did she realize that she had offended someone she shouldn't have provoked today. people.

Jingyi took two steps forward to ask for mercy, but when she saw that Li Ze didn't even look away, she took another step back.

I turned around and walked to the stone slab, ready to climb on it, then turned around and said, "Why don't you spare her this time?"

"Uncle Master, don't plead for her. If she doesn't change her temper, something big will happen sooner or later. Thinking through her mistakes can help her let go of her annoyance and dispel her inner demons."

"If not, it will be more difficult to end up going astray in the future."

I misunderstood. This person really thinks about others. Now he sees Jingwei's impetuous behavior and wrong thoughts. He wants her to reflect on her own mistakes, not to stand up for me.

The Zongzheng Hall is as spacious and bright as ever. Compared with the last time, this time I was no longer in a daze like the first time. I raised my eyes and slowly glanced around.

All the other seats at the top were empty, except for old man Tianqi, who sat alone in the center.

"My dear disciple, you are anxious to meet your master, but you don't know why?" Old man Tianqi looked at me with a smile along his beard.

I looked at the back of Lize as he left. When he was gone, I said, "You old man, you are disrespectful and want to give me back my spiritual stone. I only have a few spiritual stones in a month, and you want to take it away." snort."
