Chapter 28 Sect Mission
"This... Forget it, in the future, junior brother will always know, let me tell you a little bit first." Li Zong hesitated for a while, but he did not refuse.
"This sect has always said that there is a small competition every year, and a trial every three years. The small competition is the matter of each branch. It is just a general test of the disciples of this branch's cultivation and mastery of magic and secret techniques, and then will be based on the situation. Some elders will issue certain rewards. Although there are not many benefits to this kind of competition, the general situation is peaceful. As for the three-yearly competition, it is completely different. One hundred core disciples of the whole sect will be decided, and their names will be engraved on the sect's Taiyin monument for all disciples to pay their respects. More importantly, these core disciples will be specially trained in the sect for the next three years. The higher the ranking, the more rewards you can receive. Of course, the comprehensive test results of the big comparison directly determine how much resources each branch can occupy in the sect in the future. Even the spiritual masters will pay attention to the big comparison test. Excellent. As far as I know, the nine infants lineage has been at the bottom of the comparison test for more than ten years in a row. In this way, your nine infants have naturally obtained the least sect resources, but the more so, the more The more difficult it is to turn over. Moreover, although this competition is hosted by a spiritual master, the real fight between spiritual disciples is such a ferocious thing. In the competition, it is common to accidentally injure someone or even kill an opponent by mistake. .So this is a big comparison test is a life and death, and some people call it a 'blood fight'." Li Zong said a lot of words in one breath, and Liu Ming, who was listening directly, nodded repeatedly.
"Well, Xiaobie, Dabie's affairs are similar to what little brother knows. It's just that what about the trial of life and death, this little brother only hears people mention his name occasionally." Liu Ming asked again.
"The trial of life and death is a matter that only involves our Barbarian Ghost Sect, but a trial jointly organized by the five great sects of the Great Xuan Kingdom. It also determines the strength of the various sects, and finally decides whether the various sects will be in the Great Xuan Kingdom. It is a kind of ranking competition. Therefore, this trial is cruel and fierce, far beyond the imagination of these disciples such as me. If someone is injured or killed in the big competition, it only happens occasionally. Then in the trial of life and death, the disciples of various sects can survive Those who come back are often less than half of the real front line of life and death. Over the past few hundred years, this sect has not performed well in the trials of life and death, and he is often ranked last." Li Zong said with a sigh.
"This life-and-death trial is so dangerous. How are the disciples who participated in the competition selected? Most disciples would not be willing to take the initiative to participate." After listening to Liu Ming, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. .
"Hehe, even though this life-and-death trial is extremely dangerous, as long as you can come back alive, the benefits you can get are beyond what you and I can imagine. As far as I know, most of the teachers, uncles, and uncles in each branch are now. The disciples who have seen the trial of life and death in the past. Therefore, ordinary disciples do not have this qualification even if they want to participate. Those who can participate in this trial can only be the top ten core disciples on the Taiyin Stele. And as long as they can get the top ten Position, any disciple will soar to the sky, and in the remaining one year, he will receive the best training in the sect at all costs, so as to obtain greater benefits for the entire sect in the Great Xuan Kingdom." Li Zong replied without thinking. road.
"So that's the case, thank you Senior Brother Li for your guidance." After listening to Liu Ming, he thought for a while, and immediately thanked him sincerely.
"Haha, it's nothing, I also met my junior brother very much at first sight. By the way, when you go to the sect's routine quest later, if you want to pick a better quest, you might as well report my name and give it to you in secret. There is a little benefit in assigning tasks to deacons, and then I will be able to do what I want." After Li Zong laughed, he winked at him again, showing a bit of humor.
Liu Ming smiled, and thanked the "Senior Brother Li" again, and joined a long queue who no longer stayed.
At this time, in the hall on the first floor, people came in and out from time to time, but the team moved very fast, and soon it was Liu Ming's turn.
In front of him was a slightly bald middle-aged man wearing a deacon costume.
But Liu Ming didn't have any spiritual stones to bribe the deacon in front of him. Naturally, he wouldn't mention Li Zong's name. He just handed over the nameplate he had prepared and said honestly:
"I'm a new entry disciple, and I'm here to lead the sect on a routine mission."
"Oh, it turns out to be the new junior brother, let me see what tasks can be done now." The bald deacon was very kind. After taking the nameplate, he immediately began to quickly consult a thick book next to him.
"Right now, the only ones suitable for new disciples are chopping wood in Tianzhu Peak and farming in Nanling Valley. I don't know which one would like to choose?" The Bald Deacon made a slight movement in his hand, then raised his head and asked.
"What, chopping wood, farming?" Liu Ming almost thought he had heard it wrong.
In his opinion, most of the so-called sect tasks should be tasks such as standing guard or mountain patrol, how could it be related to the two things that he heard in his ears. .
"I know that Junior Brother has some doubts, but after taking the task, you will naturally know what's going on." The bald deacon was not surprised by this, but said with a hint of mystery on his face.
"Then choose farming." Liu Ming was still full of doubts, but he could only choose one of them.
In any case, he once planted half an acre of miscellaneous grains in a place like Fierce Island.
"The routine tasks of farming must be completed within three days, otherwise it will be regarded as a failure."
Hearing the words, the bald deacon picked up his nameplate, pressed it down somewhere on the book, and said it proficiently.
After Liu Ming took the nameplate, he left the team in confusion, and then he remembered that he didn't know where the so-called Nanling Valley was.
He wanted to go back and ask the deacon again, but saw that another disciple had already stood in front of him, and the elders of the entire team stood up again, and couldn't help shaking his head.
But when he turned his eyes, he suddenly saw that Li Zong was still staying near the gate before leaving, his eyes lit up and he walked over.
"Junior Brother Bai, which routine task did you take? Don't feed the spirit beasts, that is the most troublesome task!" Li Zong greeted Liu Ming as soon as he saw Liu Ming approaching.
"Senior Brother Li, it's great that you haven't left yet. What I'm leading is not to feed the spirit beasts, but to farm the fields. But I don't know where the Nanling Valley where the farm is located is."
"Farming! Well, this task isn't too good, but it's not too bad either. Nanlinggu, so, I have a map of the sect that I drew myself in the early years, and it is useless to keep it now, so I will send it directly Give it to the younger brother." Li Zong thought for a while, then took out a map drawn with animal skins from himself and threw it to Liu Ming.
"Thank you, brother, you're welcome. By the way, brother Li. What the hell is going on in this field? Since there is a bigu pill, does this sect still need ordinary food?" A joy, a thank you, and a bit of doubt.
"Hey, when I first heard about this sect's mission, I was just like you. Don't worry, as soon as you get there, you will naturally understand what's going on, and maybe you can fall into some of it. It's good." Li Zong heard the words and smiled, but he didn't answer his question directly.
When Liu Ming saw this situation, it was naturally difficult for him to ask further questions. After thanking the other party again, he said goodbye and left.
As soon as he walked outside the door, a small cloud of ash was condensed by the one who cast the spell, and the one who cast the soaring technique flew away.
According to the instructions on the map he just got, Liu Ming flew over several hills in a row and finally landed in a small valley.
Not far in front of where he landed, it was a square field with a size of more than 100 acres.
Some people dressed in inner disciple costumes were waving light silver hoes on the fields, as if they were busy doing something like an ordinary farmer.
When Liu Ming was looking at him in a daze, suddenly a light cough came from behind him.
Although the sound was not loud, there was no sign of it beforehand, and Liu Ming was immediately startled, and he hurriedly turned his head back.
I saw a dark-skinned old man appearing behind him at some point, bowing slightly, holding a charred dry tobacco stick in his hand, looking at him expressionlessly up and down.
"New apprentice!"
"Yes, senior?"
Although the other party was inconspicuous, for some reason, it gave Liu Ming an indescribable sense of depression, which made him involuntarily call himself a junior.
"Hmph, how could those guys in the Deacon Hall send a rookie like you here, and treat me like a place. Forget it, take this thing and be in charge of one of them as usual. Within three days, you must I was in charge of hoeing the field, and it was half a foot deep, and there was not a single weed. If you can't finish it, get out of here immediately, and don't let the old man see you here again in the future." The old farmer said coldly, and went to After touching his waist, he somehow took out a high-yin-can-can hoe and threw it in front of Liu Ming.
This scene made Liu Ming stunned.
"What are you looking at, don't hurry up and go to work. This is a storage talisman, and you can't use it if you are not at the level of a spiritual master." After taking a step, a black cloud appeared under him, and he held it up and flew away into a dense forest next to him.
"Storage Amulet"
At this time, Liu Ming didn't know that the other party was really a spiritual master. After muttering a few times, he leaned over and took the silver hoe on the ground in his hand, daring to walk towards a nearby uninhabited field.
This large field of acres may not seem to be large, but it is full of weeds with a height of a foot or so, filling almost every inch of the place.
After Liu Ming moved his hands and feet slightly, he raised the hoe with both hands and fell down hard.
