Chapter 010 Getting Started
The red-faced old man frowned and said in dissatisfaction, “Elder Li, does our Heng Yue Sect really have to stoop so low? To actually make an exception for the life and death of a mortal?”
Elder Li opened his eyes, his voice grew cold and said, “Elder Ma, the Sect Leader said that this matter was given to us to take full responsibility, if it is not handled well, and this punk kid really commits suicide for the second time, when his parents proclaim it, saying that our Heng Yue Sect forced the death of his family’s child, this embarrassing matter, is it not lowly? Can you take responsibility? If you are responsible, I will not care about this matter.”
The middle-aged man hurriedly rounded up the situation and said, “Alright, let’s not argue over this small matter, in this way, let’s accept him as a registered disciple first, and then send him back after ten or eight years when he fails to cultivate Immortality, in this way there will be no future trouble, wouldn’t it be wonderful?”
The brocade-robed old man suddenly said from the side, “If the other children who have not been collected follow suit, what should we do?”
The middle-aged man laughed lightly and said, “This is also good to do, after this incident, we have learned a lesson, in the future, all the children who failed the test, one by one, will use the God Transformation Technique to nudge them, planting the idea of not taking life lightly, and it won’t be enough. As for this Wang Lin, since it’s already gotten to such a mess, why don’t we just accept it, anyway, a registered disciple, it’s not a big deal.”
Aside from Elder Li, the other two elders looked at the middle-aged man with a gaze of great meaning and stopped speaking.
The middle-aged man wore a smile on his face as he secretly said inwardly, “Wang Lin, ah Wang Lin, I’ve helped as much as I can, but I’m not going to honor that piece of fine iron that your fourth uncle gave me. I’m surprised that a mortal could get his hands on such a material.”
The middle-aged man didn’t know, that piece of fine iron, was Wang Lin’s fourth uncle bought from a blacksmith by chance once, he had seen a lot of knowledge, he could see at a glance that it was extraordinary, this time, in order to be able to let Tiezhu join HengYue Sect, so he took out with the attitude of trying it out, as for the role of this baby, he didn’t know about it.
A piece of fine iron, changed Wang Lin’s fate, when this news reached his ears, Wang Lin could not believe that he was inexplicably accepted as a registered disciple.
Two days later, he sent his parents down to the Hengyue Sect, looking at his parents’ excited expressions, Wang Lin was also quite joyful inside and secretly decided to get down to earth and cultivate immortality here.
However, such thoughts changed after his parents descended the mountain, Wang Lin was called to a house that specialized in arranging the work of registered disciples, a thieving-looking yellow-clothed young man with a scornful face looked him up and down and scoffed, “You’re the Wang Lin who became a registered disciple only by committing suicide?”
Wang Lin glanced at him and was silent, the youth raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Kid, from tomorrow onwards report to me every day as soon as the sun rises, your job is to pick water, less than ten tanks and you won’t have any food to eat, if you haven’t been able to do it for seven consecutive days, I will report to the Elders and expel you from the Heng Yue Sect. This is your clothes, remember, registered disciples can only wear grey clothes, only when you become a true disciple will you be distributed other colors of clothes.” After saying that, he impatiently remained the set of clothes as well as the waist plate aside and closed his eyes to stop paying attention to the other party.
Wang Lin picked up the clothes and asked, “Where do I live?”
The youth didn’t even break his eyes and said carelessly, “Go north and naturally you’ll see a row of flat houses, give the waist tag to the disciple there and you’ll be given a room.”
Wang Lin memorized it in his heart, turned around and walked north, after he left, the youth opened his eyes and said to himself with scorn, “Actually relying on suicide to join in, what a waste.”
Walking within the Hengyue Sect, most of the disciples Wang Lin saw along the way were dressed in gray clothes, all of them were in a hurry, their faces were cold, and some of them were holding tools for work in their hands, and their looks were slightly tired.
After walking north for a long time, I finally saw a row of short houses, here gray-clothed disciples are a lot more than elsewhere, but they are still working in their own way, rarely talking to each other.
After handing over his waist tag to the yellow-clothed disciple in charge of this place, the other party didn’t even say a word and impatiently pointed to a house.
Wang Lin was also used to the cold expression of everyone here, walked to the house, pushed the door and went in to take a look, the room was not big, two wooden beds and a table, it was cleaned very well, and the degree of newness was similar to that of a home.
He chose a wooden bed that no one seems to use, put the luggage, which is lying on the bed in his heart thoughts, this Heng Yue sect although finally came in, but it is not as he imagined that he can cultivate the immortal arts, listen to the meaning of the yellow-clothed young man before, his job is to pick water.
When he thought of this, he sighed lightly and touched the stone bead in his bosom that was tied to his chest with a rope, this thing was a treasure that he cared about extremely, Wang Lin reads a lot and knows a lot of allusions, which includes the matter of the piker’s sin, he secretly resolved that he could not let anyone know that he had this treasure.
Time is not long, night falls, a body thin gray-clothed teenager with a tired look, pushed open the door of the room and walked in, he was stunned when he saw Wang Lin, carefully surveyed him, then he no longer cared about it and directly lay down on the bed and fainted.
Wang Lin didn’t care, he knew that he had to get up early tomorrow, he touched his stomach and took out some sweet potatoes from the package, this food was brought by his parents, ready to eat when they were looking for him on the road, and when they found Wang Lin, they saw that he had been enrolled in the Heng Yue Sect, and so they left all the remaining sweet potatoes for him.
The sweet potatoes were very sweet, Wang Lin ate a few bites, at this time the teenager lying across the street moved, got up and stared straight at the sweet potatoes, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and whispered, “Give me a piece of okay?”
Wang Lin immediately took out a few pieces and threw them onto the other person’s bed, smiling, “I have a lot here, if you like to eat it, eat more.”
The teenager immediately grabbed it and wolfed it down into his stomach, then rushed to the table and poured a cup of water, drained it in one gulp and sighed, “Fuck, I haven’t eaten in two days, man, thanks. By the way, what’s your name?”
Wang Lin reported his name, the teenager heard, was stunned, lost his voice: “You are Wang Lin ah, that rely on suicide to enter the Heng Yue faction of the waste ……” said here, he consciously Hao Ran, low laugh: “Buddy, my name is Zhang Hu. To tell you the truth, now there is almost nothing in the faction that does not know you, you do not blame me for saying that just now, in fact, I listen to admire you, actually can use this method to come in.”
Wang Lin smiled bitterly and didn’t argue, handing over a few more sweet potatoes.
Zhang Hu hastily took it, after eating a few bites he said embarrassedly, “Wang Lin, you’d better keep some for yourself, you’re new here, you don’t know that the weasel in the miscellaneous affairs office has a belly full of bad water, wait until you do your work tomorrow and then you’ll know, damn it, he simply doesn’t take us, the registered disciples, as human beings!”
