Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 5: The most in-demand product
Medicinal baths, medicated wine, and incense.

That lady went through this with him every day.

By the third day, Xu Zhiqiu's injuries had recovered a lot.

As long as your legs and feet can move, you naturally can't sit idle.

He pushed open the door and came into the yard, but suddenly shuddered.

"This beast blocking the door..."

I saw a gorgeous tiger lying in the middle of the yard. It was sleeping soundly and its snoring sounded like a drum.

They probably tied an iron chain around its neck because they were afraid that the beast would rush into the house and kill people.

He actually raised a tiger as if it were a local dog.

Xu Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, but was not scared in the end.

He tiptoed around it and quietly walked out of the yard.

Outside the courtyard is a large garden with many buildings.

Small courtyards with independent entrances are arranged in rows.

There are four rows in total, with fifty to sixty schools in each row.

Sometimes, maids in cool clothes and pretty looks would come in and out of a courtyard, carrying baskets or posing in a coquettish manner.

There was a sign hanging on the door of each courtyard. Xu Zhiqiu looked closely...

It is actually arranged according to the grade of heaven, earth and yellow, and each character is ranked up to number sixty-four.

A simple calculation shows that there are at most 256 courtyards here.

There are many door padlocks, which should be vacant.

He turned around to look at the room he was in. There was also a number engraved on the wooden sign on the door -

"Tian Zi No. 1?"

Xu Zhiqiu was happy.

Didn’t you realize that we’re still a hot commodity?
A rough calculation shows that such a large garden covers at least hundreds of thousands of square meters.

The Hehuan Sect is a henhouse that is really powerful.

"Sir, how did you get out? Come in with me!"

The maid Qu Niang happened to come to "visit" and was immediately frightened when she saw Xu Zhiqiu appear at the door.

He quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him into the yard without any explanation.

Then he picked up a whip from somewhere and started whipping the tiger lying in the yard.

The big insect that was beaten cried out,
After giving the "neglectful" beast a good beating, Qu Niang regained her original tender and charming demeanor and complained to Xu Zhiqiu:

"There will be a patrolling disciple passing by every quarter of an hour. If they see you sneaking out, not only will you suffer, but I will be punished as well."

After spending these few days together, Xu Zhiqiu got to know her a little better.

Although this woman looks seductive, she is not a decent person.

But at least she's a talkative person, so maybe I can get something out of her.

After all, even if you want to "jailbreak", you have to understand the terrain first, right?
In that case, it would be bad to give her the cold shoulder again.

How about saying a few nice words to flatter him?
Xu Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but pinch his sleeves:

"Uh... these past few days, thanks to Sister Qu... Sister Qu for taking care of me..." He stumbled over his lies, "I... I am grateful... grateful..."

Qu Niang stared at him blankly, then suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she fell backwards and was out of breath:
"My lord... you are so cute when you pretend to be so pretentious."

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu gritted his teeth.

Damn it, I just can’t play the game of deceiving others’ hearts!

Just ask directly:
"What the hell is this place?"

"My Lord, you are such a fool. If you want to know something, why don't you just ask me directly..."

She pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, pressing the weight of her upper body hard on Xu Zhiqiu's arm.

"This is Miaoyuan, a place dedicated to cultivating furnaces and tripods for inner disciples or sect leaders."

Then he pointed to the distant horizon, where there was a row of buildings lying low at the foot of the mountain.

"That's the Desire Garden, which belongs to the outer gate." "Outer gate?"

Xu Zhiqiu also learned about this when he was reading a few days ago.

The Hehuan Sect is divided into two sects, the inner and outer sects. Most of the outer sect disciples are prostitutes.

Many actors and actresses were former prostitutes in brothels, and their composition was mixed.

Among them, the ratio of male and female disciples is half and half, with a total of about 700 people.

It is worth mentioning that the "Yuning'er" who had defeated him dozens of times before was a disciple with a very prestigious status in the outer sect.

There are far fewer inner sect disciples, less than thirty in number.

However, all of them are the best of the best and have excellent talents, and are the true descendants of the sect.

More importantly, they are all female disciples.

Such a "unconventional" rule of accepting disciples,

It is said that it was decided by the Grandmaster of the Hehuan Sect eight hundred years ago, an old lady named "Madam Jinling".

Xu Zhiqiu was secretly keeping an eye on things.
Since the sect is divided into inner and outer parts, can we understand it this way... the closer to the outside, the closer to the exit?
Qu Niang seemed to have seen through some of his thoughts.

"I am just a little maid, my status is not even as high as that of an outer disciple. Fortunately, I am trusted by the superiors, so I was sent to serve the master..."

Then she hugged his arm and begged him coquettishly:

"I hope you will be more compassionate to me for my dedication to serving you, and not have unrealistic expectations that would cause me to be punished."

Xu Zhiqiu thought to himself, don’t try this on me!
He ignored her and walked to the courtyard wall.

He stood on tiptoe and clung to the edge of the wall, with his eyes slightly above the top of the wall, looking out.

"Why is that?"

He pointed to the distance, which was the No. 35 courtyard of Xuanzi.

There a maid kneeled on the ground,
Behind her, three black-robed law enforcement maids took turns whipping her on the back.

Although it was seventy or eighty meters away, Xu Zhiqiu could see it clearly.

Every time the whip was lashed down, it left a bloody cut.

The howling sound could be heard clearly from a long distance away.

"It should be that the tripod is broken..."

Qu Niang also climbed up the wall and looked over there.

Her face was gloomy, and she looked quite sad, as if she had put herself in the other person's shoes.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned to explain it to Xu Zhiqiu.

The so-called broken cauldron, to put it more subtly, was the "property loss" of the sect caused by the maid's poor care.

In this case, the maid who was in charge of the care would naturally be held accountable.

The whip used for flogging was not an ordinary whip, but one made of cow tendon with densely packed iron barbs at the end.

One whip blow and the skin and flesh will be torn apart.

If the beating is too severe, twenty or thirty lashes can be enough to kill someone.

Like the person being tortured now, you could hear her screaming twice at the beginning, but then the noise became quieter and quieter.

After a while, he was motionless like a corpse.

Even the skin on the back was torn apart, which was unbearable to look at.

Finally, the maid's body was dragged away.

A long dark brown bloodstain was left on the ground.

"What should we do with the broken furnace?" Xu Zhiqiu asked.

Qu Niang was quietly wiping her tears beside her and replied:

"The broken inferior furnace will be sent to the Desire Garden for the outer disciples to handle. As for how to handle it..."

She didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't say much after hearing this and turned around and went into the house.
