The queen must start from the head

Chapter 186 The Taoist Enters the City
Outside the woods.

The people who ran out all the way hurriedly turned their heads to see if the senior sister came out as soon as they stood still.

However, the forest behind them was empty and there was no one there.

Everyone began to wait anxiously.

In the deep and dense forest, there was still no movement.

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, the big sister still didn't show up.

Sun Zi had a bad premonition in his heart.

He couldn't help but walked to the entrance of the forest with red eyes, knelt down facing the general direction of the pond, and cried, "Master, I was wrong! I know I was wrong! Come back quickly! I …”

Before he finished crying, he was hit by a chestnut on the top of his head.

Sun Zi looked up, and saw that this young girl who was about the same age as her but with an old-fashioned expression, who else could she be if she wasn't her senior sister?

She was pinching her waist with one hand and saying, "Sun Zi, I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"

Sun Zi hurriedly jumped up from the ground, turned his back and wiped his eyes, and muttered, "Who is crying? I didn't cry. I didn't do such a shameful thing like crying!"

Zhou Jingshuang didn't say anything.

She scanned the heavy cloth bags that everyone was carrying, and knew that these bags were full of frog eggs.

She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's go, our team's mission today has been completed, it's time to go back to the city!"

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a group of boys and girls were carrying a big bag, and ran all the way to the huge city standing in the wasteland without any effort.

-

Peerless outside the city.

A little Taoist priest in Taoist robes was looking up at the huge city in front of him.

"Peerless City? What a domineering name."

This little Taoist priest was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with fine features, red lips and white teeth.

The ancestor of his family, Uehara, was an enlightened person who ascended to the Yuheng District of the Upper Realm 500 years ago.

It's just that the resources in the upper world have become increasingly scarce over the years, and each small family is unable to provide spiritual objects, magic weapons and other resources for the cultivation of the children of the family.Therefore, disciples from the branch of the family like him had to come out to find opportunities on their own.

Before leaving, an old uncle of his family made some calculations for him, saying that there was a chance waiting for him in the flutter area, and pointed him to a general direction.

He followed the guide all the way to find it, and saw the huge city in front of him.

The little Taoist was not from the Yaoguang District, so he didn't know that the city was erected just last night.

At this moment, he adjusted the Taoist scarf on his head with a solemn expression, shook the dust whisk in his hand, lifted the Shifang shoes on his feet, and walked into the city.

I thought there was nothing worth seeing in such a remote place as the Yaoguang District.

As a result, the little Taoist priest was amazed the first time he entered the city.

There is no other reason, just because everything in this city is too clean!
When he was in Yuheng District, he had never seen such a clean and tidy street.

You know, even some people's homes may not be as clean as the streets.

Look at the bluestone slabs on the ground, they are so green that they can be seen in a snapshot, and the texture looks a bit extraordinary.

The little Taoist couldn't help but squat down and carefully observe these bluestone slabs.

Not far away, Bai Xiaoyun, who had just been personally appointed by Director Wu this morning and was promoted to be the director of the Southeast Block, was walking around on patrol with his hands behind his back and an armband with the Wushuang faction logo on his arm.

The aunt of a family was picking and washing vegetables at the door, and when she looked up, she saw the armband on his arm, and she couldn't help saying, "Xiaobai, are you wearing a badge on your hand? Is this a promotion?"

"Where is!"

Bai Xiaoyun smiled from ear to ear and said, "It's all about serving the people, serving the people!"

Throughout the day today, Manager Wu has been explaining the management concepts and methods of Wushuang City to the newly appointed city managers.

After listening to these contents, Bai Xiaoyun felt that he had read sage books for more than ten years in vain.

Thinking about it carefully, Director Wu is still right. To be a man in one's life, one must be determined to do great things, not to be a high-ranking official.

After all, no matter how big or small an official is, a good official is one who can make decisions for the people and take care of the common people.

When you are in charge, you should keep the phrase "serve the people" in your heart.

He chatted with his aunt for a while, and then continued to walk forward, conducting daily patrols.

Just as he was about to walk out of the alley, he suddenly saw a little Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes not far away, trying to dig out the floor tiles used to pave the floor of his own city.

Bai Xiaoyun became angry immediately, and shouted loudly, "Wu that little Taoist priest, quickly put down that brick in your hand!"

The little Taoist priest who was about to dig a brick to take home for his uncles to study was suddenly stopped by someone.

He looked up blankly, "Who is calling me?"

Bai Xiaoyun walked out of the alley with three steps and two steps in parallel, and came to him.

I saw that he deliberately raised the badge on his right arm and pointed it at the little Taoist priest's face, trying to let the other party see his armband clearly.

After seeing the surprised expression on the other side, he said sternly, "I called you just now. Tell yourself, what were you doing just now? Who told you to dig the floor tiles? Do you know that you are doing this?" Do you know that I can fine you for destroying public property? Since you are a first-time offender, I will let you go today."

Although it is said that a new official needs three fires to take office, but he, Bai Xiaoyun, will not deliberately do things that make others stand up.

At this time, the little Taoist priest who was sprayed with saliva all over his face widened his innocent eyes.

Who is this person?
What do the words he said later mean?Why can't he understand anything?Could it be the dialect of the Fluctuating Light District?

Also, what happened to digging a floor tile at home?Is it illegal to dig a brick these days?
The little Taoist glanced at the armband on the opponent's arm, guessing in his heart that this person might be a small city guard.

It must be that I have just arrived and haven't revealed my identity, causing the other party to misunderstand.

So he picked up the fly whisk that he had put aside before, and stood up.

He cleared his throat and said, "I am Taoist Yiwu, from Yuheng District, a disciple of the Shensuan family who ascended 500 years ago. I just came to your place today, and I saw that the bricks and stones here are different. I want to take a look, but I don't know. What's wrong?"

Bai Xiaoyun is used to the common saying, and when he first heard these polite words, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.

But if you think about it again, he is a man who speaks the vernacular now, and this little Taoist is still dragging ancient Chinese with him. Could it be that he thinks he is illiterate?Isn't this provoking his dignity as a scholar?

No, he, Bai Xiaoyun, as the chief manager of the southeast block of Wushuang City, must not lose his face.

So he raised his hands in a bow, first saluted the other party with an incomparable standard, then straightened up and said,

"When a guest comes from afar, one should know that the city has rules.

If it's not my fault, I will not agree with you.

In Wushuang city, you should do unparalleled things.

It is not the behavior of a gentleman to act like a fly. "

This doggerel directly made the little Taoist blush.

After all, it was the first time for him to go out for a walk, and he had never encountered such a thing that he didn't even give him a brick.

After hesitating for a while, the family upbringing was finally there, and he solemnly apologized to Bai Xiaoyun.

Bai Xiaoyun is not a fussy person.

Now that the situation has been reversed, and seeing the other party admitting his mistake, he waved his hand generously, indicating that the matter is over.

At this moment, the two talked about the matter, and they were similar in age, so they chatted after a while.

It is evening now, and I heard that this little Taoist priest named Zhu Yiwu has not eaten all the way.

Bai Xiaoyun enthusiastically wanted to take him to a public canteen in the city for dinner.

The two chatted while walking on the road.

"Yiwu, is it far from Yuheng District to Yaoguang District?"

"It's quite far. Even if there is teleportation, it will take most of the day. And the fluctuating area is too big, so I searched all the way here."

"Then it's a coincidence that you found our Peerless City along the way."

"Unfortunately, one of my uncles instructed me to come here."

"Oh, who is your uncle?"

"Tianji Taoist. He flew up from the lower realm of Northern Qi a hundred years ago. I heard from him that the monarchs and people in the lower realm at that time called him 'God Fortune Teller'."

"Northern Qi State? That's a coincidence, I am from Northern Qi. In Wushuang City, most of them are from Northern Qi. But now there is no Northern Qi State in the Lower Realm. I have heard of the name of Taoist Tianji you mentioned. , it seems that he has some connection with my sect..."

As a non-staff member of the Wushuang faction, Bai Xiaoyun has automatically called "My faction" on his lips.

Not long after, the two entered the public canteen while talking.

As soon as I arrived inside, I could smell the fragrant radish pork rib soup, which was so fragrant.

The two quickly sat down, prepared three dishes and one soup, brought a jug of wine, had a drink, and drank while eating.

-

At this time, the world outside gradually darkened.

In the Wushuang faction, Mu Lian was on the Gong Chuan Gong Square, checking the spiritual objects brought back by the three teams after going out.

Yue Yin's group brought back four baskets of sand crystal beasts, and the total number of strange beasts was at least a thousand.

Qiu Qianxue's group caught a thousand tricolor fish, all of which were kept in a special tank.

The last group is Zhou Jingshuang.

Because the four-eyed green-skinned frog is too large to carry for long distances, everyone in their group brought back a bag of frog eggs.

Mu Lian carefully looked at everyone's gains, and gave a "very good" evaluation.

These three spirits are the only three spirits left within a hundred miles around here.The reason why large-scale artificial breeding is not possible is that they have relatively high requirements for their respective living environments.

But these are not problems for her.

Mu Lian then asked the three leading disciples how the current population of these spirit creatures and the current breeding environment are.

After some conversations with her disciples, Mu Lian also had a measure in her heart.

The spiritual objects have been obtained, and the next step is to think of a way, how to raise these spiritual objects, and open a stable source of income for their sect.

She looked at Wu Mei and said, "Boss Wu, the disciples who are going out on missions today will all calculate their contribution values ​​according to the new disciple level regulations. Specifically, how much contribution value is calculated for each person, you take the three teams of disciples down, and add up .”

"Yes, Master."

Wu Mei responded and led Yue Yin and others away.

Mu Lian looked at the bamboo baskets, water tanks and cloth bags in front of her, and with a wave of her right hand, an invisible wind rolled up against the ground and swept them all away.

But in the blink of an eye, she disappeared in the same place including people and things.

On the way to the mission hall.

Zhou Jingshuang quietly asked her mother, "Mother, what is the 'new disciple level regulation' that Master said?"

Wu Mei thought for a while, the new regulation was just promulgated today, it's normal for disciples like them who just came back from outside to not know.

In order to let the disciples around her hear what she said, she intentionally raised the volume of her answer to her daughter.

"You just came back, and you may not know that the school has implemented a new set of disciple level regulations today. The previous divisions of beginner disciples, ordinary disciples, and closed disciples all use strength as the benchmark. The head thinks that it is unavoidable Somewhat biased. Therefore, from today onwards, the training resources and treatment of the disciples in the sect will be linked to the contributions you make to the sect. Strength can only be used as the basis point. If you want to have better resources and disciple treatment, you have to rely on yourself hard work."

In Wu Mei's view, this change in the head of the family came at the right time.

When she was preparing to move again in the western suburbs of Northern Qi State, she calculated the contribution point data of the mission hall, and found that the accounts of the mission hall were basically in deficit every month.

Later, after careful investigation, she found out that it turned out that there were quite a few disciples who were latecomers in the sect. After cultivating with their talents and a small amount of resources, they relied on their high disciple levels to keep holding the sect's cultivation resources; but these people almost never went out. To do the task, did not make any contribution to the sect.

Many tasks released in the mission hall, often no one came to pick them up.

The disciples who came to receive missions most often were Yue Yin, Jing Shuang, and Shi Tai.

If this continues, the sect will only raise a group of white-eyed wolves who only eat and don't work.

In fact, after coming to the Upper Realm, due to the lack of resources in this wasteland, the life of our sect is not easy.

Now the disciple system has been reformed again, reducing the limit of strength to the minimum, almost allowing the more than 500 disciples in the sect to stand on the same starting line.After that, the distribution principle of those who work more get more and those who work less get less is followed, which is very fair.

Wu Mei is still explaining the new disciple level regulations to Zhou Jingshuang and the others.

And in the dormitory area far away, in a room of ordinary disciples, a dozen or so young disciples were gathering.

A male disciple with a scar on his forehead said, "The head of the sect has implemented a new disciple level regulation today. What do you think of this matter?"

"How else can we look at it? How unfair! Why did we work so hard to cultivate from the yellow level to the prefecture level, and finally enjoy the treatment of ordinary disciples, but the headmaster issued an order and pulled us all into it again?" I have entered the ranks of fifth-class disciples! In the future, it is not enough to just practice, but also to contribute to the sect, it is really annoying!"

The one who said this was a young female disciple with high cheekbones, thin cheeks, and no flesh on her whole body.

From the bottom of her heart, she was very dissatisfied with the new policy promulgated by the head.

With such a good cultivation aptitude like her, why did she choose Tianxia Wushuang faction when other big forces refused to enter?

It's because the benefits and benefits given to the disciples here are good, and the sect has just been established, and the affairs are clean, and there are no messy personnel relations and nepotism.

In her opinion, if she is willing to practice in this sect, that is to give face to the head of Mu.

I don't want the other party not to coax them, this group of genius disciples, into their palms every day, but now they are actually asked to do things that only unqualified and dull disciples do!

Go to the mission hall to pick up the mission?
And then go outside in the wind and rain all day long, exhausting yourself just to earn those few contribution points?
This is simply a blasphemy and insult to talented disciples like them!

Another male disciple also echoed, "Smile is right. The new policy of the master is too one-size-fits-all. Disciples with good cultivation aptitude like us should be separated and cultivated independently. Not like other As a person, you have to follow along and do the task."

"That's right. Shi Tai, who started on the same day as me, had a strong momentum of cultivation at first, and rose from a beginner disciple to an ordinary disciple all the way. But now? It's because he is always assigned this task and that task, which delays his practice! I He started later than him, and now he has advanced to the sky level, but he is still spinning around the earth level!"

Another male disciple spoke, deliberately mentioning Shitai in his words.

Because the latter was regarded by many stewards as the leader among the three generations of disciples, this matter has always made him brood.

Now that his own strength has been cultivated, when he can step on it, he will take out the opponent and step on it.

However, this person has never thought that the martial arts cultivation resources he holds with peace of mind every day may be earned by his classmates who are not as good as him.

The scarred face at the beginning suddenly brought up a topic, "Have you ever thought about it, we have now reached the upper realm. The upper realm is so big, there are so many enlightened people, and there are even immortals. There must be no shortage of famous masters here." Pie. Maybe we can..."

He didn't say what he said later, but everyone else knew what he was going to say.

The Wushuang sect in the world does not know how to cherish and respect talented disciples, but other sects may not be like this.

Trees move to death, people move to live.

The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places.

Leaving the Wushuang faction, there may not be a bright road waiting for them outside.

Someone couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "This is indeed a solution."

Just when everyone started to discuss how to leave Wushuang City and go to other places, the door of this room was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

"Who!"

Everyone in the room was shocked and stood up one after another.

What they said just now can be said in private by yourself. If it is spread, other people in the sect may be able to drown them with a single mouthful of spit.

"Say it! Why don't you continue talking? My Wushuang sect is not good, and my temple of Wushuang sect is small. I can't afford you great gods! You really are not the same kind of people, so you don't want to enter this sect! If you are so dissatisfied with the new order, then I will make the decision for you now, you people can leave here now! Go, you can go right away!"

The person who said this angrily was Yuan Xiu who was in charge of managing the dormitory.

She just came here today for daily inspections, but she didn't want to but overheard this group of people talking nonsense, saying how bad the head and sect are.

At first, Yuan Xiu thought it was not good to eavesdrop like this, and wanted to walk away.

But she couldn't help burning up with anger when she heard it.

She never expected that those people who chose to leave when the sect moved were all white-eyed wolves, and she didn't want to have such unfamiliar white-eyed wolves among the remaining disciples in her own family!
These people belong to the sect to eat and drink, to live in the sect, and even the cultivation resources are provided by the sect.

But even so, they are still talking bad things about the head and other members of the sect behind their backs.

Yuan Xiu couldn't figure it out even if he sharpened his head, how could a person be so bad? !
When the ten or so disciples saw that it was Yuan Xiu who came, their hearts tensed at first, but then they realized that Yuan Xiu was the only one who had heard their words and barged in.

This shows what?
This showed that only Yuan Xiu was the one who broke through what they were talking about tonight.

At this moment, the celestial disciple who had belittled Shi Tai just now took a step forward, stared at Yuan Xiudao, "I heard that you are also a celestial warrior, Guanshi Yuan. I have gained a lot of experience in cultivation recently, and I want to be with you as Guanshi Yuan." I wonder if it is possible to compete and learn from each other?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other people immediately moved their feet, blocking Yuan Xiu's escape route, and even the door she kicked open just now was closed.

Seeing this group of disciples staring at him eagerly, Yuanxiu felt that something was wrong.

Her face turned serious, and she asked in a cold voice, "What exactly do you want to do? Could it be that your own scandal has been exposed, and you still want to kill people?!"

That heaven-level disciple pulled out a thin knife from his waist, and said with a cold light in his eyes, "I just want to compete with Guanshi Yuan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Yuan Xiu with a knife in his hand.

The strength of the latter was all brought up by pills, and she had no experience in fighting people. Seeing that the thin knife was about to cut her neck, she was dumbfounded, and she couldn't move when she stood still. Do not move.

It was too late to say, but it was so fast, at the moment when the thin knife was about to cut Yuanxiu, the extremely sharp blade was pinched by two slender fingers, and it was difficult to penetrate even an inch.

Only then did everyone see a blue figure slowly revealing its figure beside Yuan Xiu.

Everyone in the room turned pale with shock at first, and then hurriedly dropped the weapons in their hands, bowed their heads and knelt down, and shouted in unison, "See the master!"

Yuan Xiu, whose body was softened by fright, also looked at Mu Lian in astonishment.

She had no idea that the head of the sect was by her side just now, and she thought she was almost dying.

"Dangdang!"

Mu Lian threw the long knife in her hand in front of that celestial disciple.

She said coldly, "You are not worthy of using a knife at all."

At this time, that heavenly disciple didn't dare to look up at all, and didn't even dare to pick up the knife.

There was an eerie silence in the house for a moment.

Be it the disciple with the scar on his face just now, or the thin female disciple with perverted personality, all of them dared not vent their anger at this moment, and knelt quietly on the ground, waiting for the master to deal with him.

They were almost certain that the headmaster should have heard everything they said before.

How would she punish them?

Is it expulsion from the sect?Abolish martial arts?or directly...

Before Mu Lian spoke, their hearts were already in a mess.
