Ordinary people can also be extraordinary
Chapter 7 Getting Started
"Brother, can I ask you something?" Zhang Chen saw a young man passing by. He also lived here and seemed to be a new disciple.
"Okay, okay. I've only been here for three days, so I may not know much. You guys are also just getting started." The young man bowed and said to Zhang Chen and the other three.
"Yes, we just arrived and are unfamiliar with the place. We are also afraid of accidentally breaking some taboos." Zhang Chen asked him for advice.
"You are worrying too much. Only new disciples and menial disciples live here. Formal disciples and immortals all live there." The young man pointed to the towering mountains.
"A menial disciple? Aren't there immortals here?" Zhang Chen thought that all the people he would see here would be immortals who could fly into the sky and hide in the ground like Sun Quanhu.
The young man laughed and said, "How is that possible? Immortals also practiced from mortals step by step, and they were not born immortals. So before they truly become immortals, they still need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate like mortals. That's when those menial disciples are needed. Immortals won't do these trivial things."
"I see. So what should we do now? Senior Brother Qin brought us here and just told us to wait, but he didn't say how long we had to wait." Zhang Chen continued to ask.
"We don't have to wait long. I heard from other disciples that the deadline for newcomers to start their studies is the end of this month. We will then be arranged to study in Chaoyang Palace. After we finish our studies, senior brothers from various peaks will come to select disciples. Only then will we truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals." The young man said with a look of anticipation.
"By the way, I just saw the sky full of rosy clouds in the Welcoming Hall. Do you know which new disciple it is?" The young man turned to look at the three people and asked.
Zhang Chen and Bai Yunyun both looked at Wang Dong.
As soon as the young man saw the two people's actions, he immediately understood everything.
"So it's this brother. I can tell at first glance that you are extremely talented and have an outstanding temperament. You are truly a dragon among men! My name is Li Song, and I'm from the Li family in Bahrain County." After Li Song finished speaking, he wanted to step forward and continue the conversation.
“Who is the dragon among men?”
Suddenly, a cold voice came. A young man wearing a purple robe and a jade crown came slowly. The purple robe was embroidered with a five-clawed dragon, and the dragon's body was woven with gold thread. When he walked, he walked like a dragon and a tiger, which was really majestic. There were five or six people around him, and he slowly walked to the side of several people.
"You see the Second Prince, and you don't even salute him," a young man beside him shouted.
Zhang Chen and his companions looked at each other in bewilderment. A prince? The oldest they had ever seen was the mayor and General Zhu. A prince was too strange to them. It might be more useful to say that the mayor was here.
"Forget it. We are not outside now, so there is no need to talk about these rules." The young man in dragon robe waved his hand.
"My name is Xiao Yi, and I am the second prince of Daqing. Where are you from?"
"The three of us are all from Youshui County. My name is Zhang Chen, this is Wang Dong, Bai Yunyun," Zhang Chen introduced to the second prince.
Li Song suddenly said, "Second Prince, this brother Wang Dong is the one who caused the whole sky of the Welcome Hall to be filled with rosy clouds just now."
"It turns out to be Brother Wang Dong, it's a pleasure to meet you," Xiao Yi said as he cupped his hands, his expression looking a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Li Song continued to introduce Wang Dong, "Brother Wang Dong, this prince also caused a glow in the welcoming hall when he came, but he is a little worse than you. We all thought that the prince was the best among the newcomers this time."
After hearing this, Xiao Yi's face suddenly darkened, but he quickly adjusted himself and complimented Wang Dong. Zhang Chen saw this and frowned slightly.
“By the way, have you eaten? The cafeteria has a time limit and it will be closed after the time is exceeded.” Li Song said to several people.
He had just come back from having dinner there. When he first arrived, he missed the time and thus missed dinner that night.
Thinking of this, the three of them suddenly felt hungry. After asking for directions to the cafeteria, they said goodbye to everyone and hurried over.
After they left, Li Song smiled slightly and thought to himself, "If they go there at this time, the fat guy in the cafeteria will definitely not give them food. If they offend Wang Dong, he will be in trouble."
Li Song recalled that when he first came here a few days ago, he didn't have time to eat dinner at night. He went to the cafeteria to get food but was perfunctorily treated by the fat steward. He was furious. He was supposed to be a god, but he didn't expect to be bullied by a cook.
When I arrived at the cafeteria, I found that no one was eating inside, and the disciples in charge of distributing food were also clearing the tables and cleaning up.
"Senior brother, do you have any food now? We are new disciples." Zhang Chen asked a young man who was cleaning the table.
"No, the time is up, let's go early tomorrow," the young man said and waved his hand.
"I saw the time posted on the door was 3 p.m., and it's not time yet. How come it's gone?" Wang Dong was a little dissatisfied.
As he spoke, he looked towards the windowsill and asked, "What's that thing covered with cloth under the windowsill?"
As he said this, he pulled off the cloth cover with his hands. He found that the chicken, duck, fish and meat were neatly arranged underneath, and they were still steaming when he opened the lid. The three of them were drooling at the sight.
"What are you doing?" Just then, a fat, broad-shouldered and strong man came out from the kitchen, his face full of fat, which trembled as he walked, and stared at them.
After approaching, he said to them: "It's past dinner time now. If you want to eat, come earlier tomorrow."
“I see the time posted on the door hasn’t come yet.” Wang Dong whispered, looking at the other person’s physique, not daring to look at him.
"I said we're here, and I have the final say in the cafeteria." The fat man looked at them and said nonchalantly.
This fat man had a savage look on his face. He also smelled heavily of alcohol, and it seemed that he had been drinking a lot.
The errand disciples cleaning the surrounding area also had a look of sympathy on their faces. This fat man was the manager of these errand disciples. He himself had no qualifications for cultivating immortals, but he had a younger brother who had established his foundation. Therefore, he was arranged here to manage the errand disciples. He often exploited them, and they dared not speak out.
"Do you know who he is?" Li Song walked in and said to the fat man.
“Do you know that the sky in the Welfare Hall was filled with rosy clouds just now? It was all because of Brother Wang Dong. When the time comes, Brother Wang Dong will definitely be accepted as a direct disciple by the elders. If Brother Wang Dong says something then, even your brother will be in trouble.” Li Song pointed at Wang Dong and spoke to the fat man with an expression as if he was watching a good show.
The fat man was shocked when he heard this, and he was sober. He had been in Qingyumen for quite some time, so he naturally knew the significance of the glow in the welcoming hall. It was just that he had drunk a few more cups today and forgot to arrange someone to observe. Just like Xiao Yi and some other talented people a few days ago, he had already arranged for someone to deliver food to them, so he would never let them come to eat by themselves.
He was not sure whether there was really one of them who caused the glow in the Welcoming Hall. For such a thing, he would rather believe it than not.
"Let's ask someone to check it out later," the fat man thought secretly.
After figuring this out, he walked out immediately.
"Oh my god, look, my brain is confused after drinking a few cups of cat urine. I really deserve to be beaten." As he said this, he slapped himself in the face several times.
"Come here, everyone, and bring up the delicious food and drinks." The fat man directed several errand disciples.
This scene stunned everyone, and Zhang Chen once again deeply realized the treatment of those with good qualifications.
The three of them sat at the table feeling a little uneasy. They looked at each other and didn't pick up their chopsticks for a while.
The fat man thought that they had not forgiven him yet, so he made up his mind and said to one of them, "Cui Mingchong, go to my room and get the jar of wine on the shelf next to the bed."
The servant named Cui Mingchong was also shocked when he heard this, because that was Fatty Shi's favorite. The jar of wine was the magic wine given to him by his brother. It could not only strengthen the body, but also repair hidden injuries. A mortal who drank this wine could live to the end of his life without illness or pain.
After a while, the wine was brought, and the fat man poured a bowl for the four of them and himself with a painful look on his face.
"This is Shi's fault. I'll clean it up first as an apology to you all." Fatty Shi tilted his head back and drank it down, still savoring the taste in his mouth.
Seeing this, the four of them didn't know what to say anymore, so they all picked up their bowls and took a sip.
As soon as the wine entered his stomach, Zhang Chen immediately felt his stomach warm and his whole body felt indescribably comfortable. His originally tired expression also became energetic.
"This wine is extraordinary!" Zhang Chen said silently in his heart.
The four of them felt the benefits of the wine, their bodies felt better, their moods became happier, and they also found the fat man next to them pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, let's just leave it at that. Wang Dong, Bai Yunyun, what do you think?"
"Yeah," they were eating the food and drinking the wine happily, and had long forgotten the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
Li Song felt very relieved when he saw Fatty Shi's extremely painful expression.
"I told you to look down on others with your dog eyes."
At the same time, he looked at Wang Dong and thought: "It can also leave a good impression on Wang Dong, killing two birds with one stone."
