Who is fighting

Zhongnan Mountain is [-] feet high, soaring into the clouds. It is one of the best mountains in the barren island area; above the mountainside, it is shrouded in clouds all the year round. From a distance, it looks like a fairyland.In the past, Master Zhang Zhenren, the patriarch of the Sword Mansion, traveled here and saw the beautiful mountain peaks and compelling aura, he was very happy.So he drew his sword and cut off the top of the peak, using this as the foundation to form a sect.

Back in the day, how sharp and mighty the sword that broke the peak was!

The inside and outside of the Zhongnan Sword Mansion are divided into one, the inner mansion is on the highest peak, and the outer mansion is relatively lower.According to the characteristics of the mountain, a large area was opened up and other courtyards were built.Give the disciples of the outer sect residence, and arrange to receive guests.

Idlers and others are not qualified to live in it.

In the mountain depression in the northwest of the Outer Mansion, there are rows of low stone houses, which are the residences of the handymen.The small canteen is close to the side and is also built with large bluestones.

Stepping out of the outer mansion, there is a three-foot-high stone pillar erected on the right hand side of the gate, and many advertising messages are being posted on the stone pillar.

As usual, Liang Qiufeng stopped and watched - he was literate and self-taught:

"Piaomiao Valley in Neishan is recruiting a senior gardener. It is required to pass the third level of the "Five Elements Planting Jue" and can manage medicinal materials that are [-] years old. Food and lodging are included, and the monthly salary is [-] catties of spiritual rice; the opportunity is rare, sign up as soon as possible..."

"Nanguo has eight acres of lower-level spiritual land, with excellent geology and stable yield. I have no time to manage it because I am practicing in seclusion. Now I am looking for a special lease, and the rent is negotiable. Please come to the No. 17 sword house of the inner gate to discuss in detail..."

"True disciple Long Xiangtian, due to the need for cultivation, we are now recruiting a sword servant. We require a female surname, no more than 20 years old, good image, interview for treatment..."

Liang Qiufeng read many contents with great interest. Although he himself could not meet the recruitment requirements on the news, it was also a kind of pastime to read and understand in his spare time.By the way, you can also master some market rules that may come in handy in the future, which is beneficial.Soon, he saw a notice from the Sword Mansion, and couldn't help paying attention——

"The situation in the barren island is rising again, Tiandumen is ready to move, intending to expand to the south, and everyone knows the wolf's ambition. If anyone finds out the spies, please report it to the Jianfu guards in time, and there will be a big reward..."

Is there a reward?

The young man's eyes lit up immediately, but he didn't even know who the capital was that day, so where did he go to find the spy?

"Hehe, it seems that my family is really not down-to-earth, thinking wildly all day..."

He shook his head, trying to get rid of some unrealistic thoughts, the most practical thing is to go to eat.

There is no place to eat in the small cafeteria. After receiving the food, people either go back to their rooms or eat and drink in the nearby open space.

Today is fifteen, and according to the custom, each person can get three taels of Lingmi.

——Lingmi is a special kind of rice that surpasses ordinary rice. It is the size of a peanut, oval in shape, slightly pointed at both ends, milky white in color, and has several halos rotating on the body surface, which is really charming.

Ripe Lingmi doesn’t need to be cooked, it can be chewed raw one by one, full of taste; it can not only fill the stomach, but also absorb the spiritual energy contained in it, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.As an extremely important cultivation resource, Lingmi plays an important role. When it was developed and planted on a large scale, it quickly became the equivalent of the martial arts world, just like a recognized currency in circulation.

In today's world, all major martial arts sects are trying every means to reclaim spiritual fields and grow spiritual rice.To a certain extent, the size of the Lingtian can measure the strength of the sect.

It's just that the place that can become a spiritual field must be close to the spiritual vein, the closer it is, the fatter it will be; on the contrary, the land far away from the spiritual vein can only grow ordinary food.

Zhongnan Mountain has spiritual veins, so many suitable places have been reclaimed into spiritual fields up and down the mountain.Some of these spiritual fields were distributed as rewards and became personal property; however, most of them were leased to disciples in the form of contracts, and a certain amount of rent was charged every year.As for whether the contractor farms by himself or hires others, it is a personal choice.

As for ordinary people, they can't afford to eat lingmi for leisure, and they basically live on ordinary food. As a handyman in Zhongnanjian Mansion, they can receive three taels of lingmi on the fifteenth day of each month, which is considered a very good job. item benefit.Even if you are reluctant to eat, you can accumulate more and then sell them or exchange them for things.

Liang Qiufeng entered Zhongnanjian Mansion as a handyman at the age of 15. After three years, he had accumulated a total of ten catties of spiritual rice.The Lingmi he receives every month only eats a few grains to satisfy his hunger, and saves the rest.The accumulation of less makes more, and there is only ten catties of inventory.

He has a dream, which is to save up to thirty catties in exchange for a simple method of martial arts cultivation.

Three taels a month, only three catties in ten months, which means that it will take one hundred months to get thirty catties.To spend nearly ten years, just to learn martial arts, this dream is so simple and stubborn that it is almost stupid!

Fortunately, the saved Lingmi can be stored at the Jianfu Rice Warehouse Management Office and exchanged for rice tickets that can be redeemed at any time.Otherwise, it will be a long time, and the dream will not be realized, and the Lingmi that is not properly stored will become moldy.

Ever since he slipped his mouth last time, Liang Qiufeng has become like a little sparrow in the circle of handymen, so he no longer opens his mouth easily.The act of accumulating spiritual rice quietly by herself has also become a secret hidden deep in her heart.

……

"What, no Lingmi distribution today?"

"Not only today, but I'm afraid there won't be any from now on."

"what happened?"

"I heard that it was Deacon Luo's idea. This Luo Paopi, who eats people without spitting out bones, is really going to attack our Lingmi..."

"Shut up, be careful not to be heard by him, and drive you down the mountain."

When he came to the small cafeteria, Liang Qiufeng noticed something unusual, and when he asked, his heart sank, and his hands couldn't help clenched into fists.

The inside story of the matter is very simple: Deacon Luo, who is in charge of the chores in the outer government, took aim at the benefits that the servants receive for three taels of Lingmi on the fifteenth of each month, stretched out his big hand, and hugged it directly, and no longer distributed it.Naturally, those Lingmi fell into his private pockets and were stolen by Tan Mo.

All the handymen dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and there was nothing they could do.Don't say go over Deacon Luo to file a complaint. If you show any indignation, you will be fired by the other party with excuses and lose your job.

The voice of discussion stopped abruptly, and I saw Deacon Luo's chubby body appearing outside the cafeteria door.With his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over majesticly.

"Hey, what does Liang Qiufeng want to do?"

"Oh, this stupid boy is about to get into trouble."

Seeing Liang Qiufeng walking in front of Deacon Luo, he hesitated for a moment, before asking: "Deacon Luo, I heard that we will not distribute spiritual rice from now on, this is your order..."

"Ok?"

Deacon Luo's face was serious, and he immediately shouted: "Liang Qiufeng, you are so courageous, when is it your turn to ask this and that, do you want to do it?"

He spoke harshly, as if he wanted to eat Liang Qiufeng.

An inexplicable blood rushed to his face, Liang Qiufeng clenched his fists even tighter, and his nails were almost dug into his palms: Maybe not having those three taels of Lingmi every month would be like missing a benefit for others. But for him, it was a heavy blow.

"What, you still dare to take action against this deacon?"

Deacon Luo smiled sinisterly, and a glint of prey flashed across his eyes.He looked obese, but he was also a martial artist with two levels of strength. He could easily deal with Liang Qiufeng, and he could beat this weak boy to the ground with one hand.

Slowly loosening his hands, Liang Qiufeng lowered his head slightly: "Don't dare..." After all, he is not the kind of simple-minded stunned young man. A conflict with a huge difference in strength is like an egg hitting a stone, meaningless.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, he began to announce: "The day after tomorrow, all of you will go to the Lecture Hall to run errands to help, and all of you will give some to this deacon spirit. If you make a mistake, don't blame me for being rude."

After all, stride away.

In fact, Deacon Luo was very upset that Liang Qiufeng dared to raise doubts in public.However, when employing people at the moment, it is not easy to explode all at once. As for after the lecture hall is over, those who need to be liquidated will naturally be liquidated.

"Hey, even a mere handyman dares to question this deacon's actions. He doesn't know how to live or die. Let's see how to deal with you in the future."

Thoughts flashed by, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Liang Qiufeng, you have poked a hornet's nest. Deacon Luo is not easy. His nephew Luo Gang is an inner disciple of the Sword Mansion. I heard that he is likely to become a true disciple."

Hearing the name "Luo Gang", all the handymen turned pale. They originally had some hearts for Liang Qiufeng, so they immediately acted accordingly:

"That's right, don't rush to catch up and apologize to Deacon Luo, maybe there is still room..."

"Liang Qiufeng, I'm not talking about you, you are too reckless, who is Deacon Luo, how can you afford to offend him?"

"No, don't make us suffer..."

"That's right, Liang Qiufeng, now we have been hurt by you."

There is an old saying that goes well: "Shoot the bird that stands out".Deacon Luo lied to his superiors and deceived his subordinates, greedy for the benefits that belonged to the handymen, but when Liang Qiufeng asked something that others dared not ask, he put himself in a situation of being isolated instead.Out of the standpoint of self-preservation, other people not only did not dare to blame Deacon Luo, but instead blamed Liang Qiufeng.

Sophisticated people have always been unpredictable!

Liang Qiufeng bit his lips, and said nothing: he has long been used to many faces and faces, but he will never accept it without a bottom line, and be that face-to-face person who can be manipulated by others.

In life, if there are some things that should be contested, we must fight with reason.Otherwise, if you get used to cowardice and your heart is like mud, you will only be trampled under your feet for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to turn over.

But a group of handymen decided that Liang Qiufeng had offended the narrow-minded Deacon Luo, and it was inevitable to settle accounts after the fall.In order to get rid of the relationship, they avoided him one after another, not even daring to talk to him anymore.Among them, there are many gloating people, just waiting to see the good show.

Invisibly, Liang Qiufeng became lonelier and more silent.

Time flies like an arrow, and soon the big day of the Sword Hall will come.
