The three big men of the exiled trio walked for nearly quarters of an hour from the cliff at the edge of Minggui Peak, and finally officially stepped into the side peak base of the outer gate.
Although this mountain is bare, it is also the territory of Mo Shuang Mountain, so the teleportation arrays that are scattered everywhere are also here, and the three of them stepped into it.
With a flash of light, they were teleported to a flat area halfway up the mountain.
A village-like structure has been built here, with endless houses, all of which are standard small courtyards. Their planning and design look like the fairy version of student dormitories.
One horizontal row and one vertical row.
Forty small courtyards form four "outer gate residential areas".
It occupies two-thirds of this large flat area.
The inner disciples have their own caves to live in, which are spacious and have a free-form structure. The outer disciples do not have such good treatment. This house, built by Wang Liufu using the secret method of the five elements, is allocated to each of them in one room.
When Jiang Xia and his group of three came over, there were some outer disciples wearing the standard Taoist robes of Mo Shuang Mountain, pushing exquisite carts that were "friendly sponsored" by Kunlun Square.
Bags of rice and some bedding were delivered to four residential areas.
These daily necessities were all purchased directly by Wang Liufu from Kunlun Square. The prices were favorable and the purchase quantity was large, which added some income to the fourth brother.
"Hey, what are they doing?"
Qian Duo, a fat boy from the Southern Wilderness carrying a small bag, walked out of the teleportation array. He first looked curiously at the residential area not far away, then turned around to look at the empty flat land on the other side.
It turned out that there were about 20 to 30 people, divided into several teams, doing strange things under the scolding, supervision and cursing of a group of guys in strange clothes.
A group of people were shouting slogans and running in a line.
The people who were supervising them were very dissatisfied because they were not lined up in an orderly manner. They took a bamboo stick like a ruler and started to whip those who did not line up properly.
But no one dared to resist.
Judging from the bruised and swollen faces of some of them, they must have been taught a lesson before and only then learned the rules.
There was another group of people lined up in a square, spaced apart from each other.
He was supporting himself on the ground with his arms, his body straight, rising and falling continuously, while another instructor was holding a whip and patrolling left and right.
If you encounter someone whose movements are not standard, you will be whipped.
The last group was the strangest.
They were doing pull-ups while sitting on a few horizontal bars that had just been made from magical bamboo from the mountains.
Su, who was wearing a black outer sect robe, still had an indifferent look on his face. He folded his arms, stood by and supervised them in a straddle position.
"If you want to practice the superior immortal arts, you must first have a strong body! It's okay for cultivators, because they have spiritual energy to temper their bodies, so even if they are bad, they can't be that bad. But you mortals are powerless!
Even if I teach you the Mohist instrument-making techniques, how many of them can you make with your poor endurance?
Moreover, they all live a life of luxury and cannot stand hardship.
If you want to practice cultivation, how can you endure the pain of tempering your body with spiritual energy?
The outer sect elders have already issued an order!
Before you start practicing, you mortals must first practice fitness training, using my external fitness techniques to train your body. This is limited to one month! If you can’t do well, you will have to practice for another month!”
In front of these people.
On a large smooth rock, Jasmine, who was also wearing a small Mohist Taoist robe, was holding a large loudspeaker and lecturing these hard-working mortals in a stern voice.
With his serious expression and stretched body, he looked like a qualified foreman.
However, the scene before him reminded Lao Jiang of the student military training in his previous life. Except for the strange clothing these people wore, the awkward postures of the trainees were exactly the same as in military training.
Although this was the first time Shi Rui had seen this scene, he did not say much.
The third prince had been to his own military camp, and had seen the new recruits being trained in the same way. Strengthening the body was only one aspect, the more important thing was to train obedience.
Shi Rui secretly glanced at Jiang Xia, who looked satisfied.
He already had a guess in his mind that Lao Jiang had probably already regarded this outer sect force as his base before entering the mountain.
It was just as he said.
Look at these new outer sect disciples, they all start training with Junior Brother Jiang’s powerful subordinates as their backbone.
When I arrived at the outer gate, it felt like I was back home.
"Hey, boss?"
The three of them were looking over here. Over there, Jasmine, who had just finished scolding someone, threw the loud speaker aside and was about to go back to the dormitory, but she spotted Jiang Xia and his group with her sharp eyes.
She trotted over and stood two meters in front of Jiang Xia. She wanted to speak, but her face looked strange.
"What's wrong?"
Lao Jiang asked.
"Um... Boss, I heard that you encountered some problems in the inner gate."
Jasmine secretly glanced at the bruises on Jiang Xia's face that had not yet disappeared, and she lowered her voice, as soft as a mosquito:
"I heard, I heard that you, boss, were so lustful that you dared to flirt with the elder of the sect? I also heard that Elder Shi Yan is a peerless beauty, but boss, how could you do this?
You’re not usually like this.”
"I……"
Jiang Xia wanted to explain.
But when the words came to his lips, they turned into a helpless sigh.
It is true that good news never comes out, but bad news travels far and wide.
It had only been a few hours, and even the people outside the sect knew about his affairs. Even if he used his butt to think, Jiang Xia knew that someone must be fanning the flames.
His reputation is completely ruined.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Go get my spare chip and prosthesis."
Jiang Xia patted his empty left arm and said to Jasmine:
"Please clean up three more houses for the three of us. We will live here permanently from now on."
"No need to clean up, boss."
Jasmine pointed to the misty mountaintop higher up and said:
"Old Wang has already prepared a private room for you three at the top of the mountain. He said that Elder Sanbao also lives there. Please go meet him and have a chat."
"Okay, go ahead. Don't keep calling him Lao Wang. He is a monk after all. It would be terrible if others heard us calling him 'OK'."
Jiang Xia took a cigarette, put it between his lips, and gave an order. Jasmine immediately turned around and left to get the boss's spare chip and prosthesis.
Shi Rui and the little fat boy were sent to the top of the mountain to settle down.
Ten minutes later, in Jasmine's courtyard, Jiang Xia opened his eyes again. The chip was reset, allowing him to use the familiar communication frequency band again.
The return of the prosthetic left hand also made Lao Jiang feel more secure.
"Data migration protocol initiated."
He gave the order without expecting a response, but unexpectedly, a stream of data was soon transmitted to the new chip database.
This means that the chip that Shi Yan took out from his brain is still activated. I really don’t know how Shi Yan charged it.
But what is certain is that Shi Yan absolutely cannot understand how this thing works.
The data transmission process ended after a few minutes. The silver iron sheet next to Lao Jiang's ear flashed a faint light, and he immediately issued a new instruction.
"Start the original chip formatting protocol."
As the light flickered beside their ears, Jiang Xia and Moli thanked them and walked towards the door. However, just as they walked out the door, Ruyue's faint voice was heard in the chip communication.
"Boss, I heard about your situation."
Jiang Xia was too lazy to explain now.
He lit another cigarette melancholy, and at the moment he lit it, he heard Ruyue say in a low voice:
"Boss, if you really need that, I... I can... you don't have to... I know... that... How about tonight, I'll go to you..."
"Stop!"
Jiang Xia exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at the dusk in the sky, and said helplessly:
"When I really need you, I will come to you. Now, just practice peacefully and don't talk about this anymore, okay?"
"Um."
Ruyue responded softly, and the communication was closed.
——
At the same time, at the top of Shangtong Peak of Moshuang Mountain, in the cave of Elder Shi Yan, her second disciple Luo Yan was chattering while cleaning the room for her master.
This is the elder.
The appearance looks bright and beautiful.
But the clothes and decorations scattered around the bedroom made her look just like a stay-at-home girl.
"Master , I'm not saying anything bad about you, but I heard from Biyue about today's situation that Junior Brother Jiang was clearly ambushed by someone. I just went to the main hall to check.
There is still a trace of residual spiritual power there. I can detect it, so there is no way you can't detect it.
Why take this opportunity to make such a big reaction?"
Elder Shi Yan's second disciple, like Bi Yue and Xiu Hua, is a very beautiful woman, and this Senior Sister Luo Yan is also very tall.
When standing up straight, he is about 1.85 meters tall.
Those long legs were definitely over one meter long. When she walked, she looked like a beautiful red-crowned crane. She was dressed like her master and other sisters, wearing a long skirt and a veil.
While cleaning the room for her sloppy master, she advised:
“I have never met Junior Brother Jiang, but what he did at the foot of the mountain shows that he does not care about the impression he leaves on others, so his reputation is ruined.
But Master, you made such a big deal out of this, letting everyone in Mo Shuang Mountain know that you were teased by the new disciple. This is not good for your reputation at all.
Master, are you confused again?"
"Well?"
Elder Shi Yan, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, stared blankly with her big eyes, then looked back at her apprentice, who looked like she hadn't woken up yet.
She definitely didn't hear a word of what Luoyan said just now.
At this moment, her attention was not on her disciples.
Instead, on the delicate chip in her hand, at the tips of her slender fingers, there was a faint arc of electricity beating, and its power was maintained at the weak level of brain waves and was very stable.
She had used this method to charge the chip before.
But just now, the elder felt that some subtle changes had taken place in the chip in her hand, not on the surface, but inside something that was difficult for her to understand.
It seemed as if something had been pulled out of the chip.
It is just data information, completely different from other things in Ku Mu Realm. It is similar to divine thoughts, but invisible and intangible.
For the master weapon maker, this is also a very new thing.
After returning from the main hall today, Elder Shi Yan has been studying the chip and its supporting components, but so far, she has no clue.
After all, this thing was different from all the magic weapons she had seen. It looked very much like the secret beast-taming needle used by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and also like the evil spirit-controlling technique of the ghost-cultivating sect, the Qihuang Valley.
But it's still different.
Shi Yan was completely unable to use her advanced knowledge of weapon making to understand the thing in front of her.
"Luoyan, you can leave in two days."
The elder turned her attention back to the chip in her hand and said without turning her head:
"Take your new disciple and travel around the Southern Wilds. By the way, help me deliver some things to Yandang Pond and give them to my good friend Zhenshan. When you were still young, I took you to meet her.
Then, no matter what you do, stay there for half a year, and then bring your disciples back to participate in the sect competition.
I have already told Bi Yue and Xiu Hua that they will also set off in the next few days to travel to the North to experience the world of monsters."
“Master!”
Fairy Luoyan, who was picking up a black gauze gown, said dissatisfiedly:
"Last month, you also sent Senior Sister Chenyu away for half a year, and now you are telling us all this.
Master, although you are usually confused, you are always very organized when it comes to big things.
I don't believe you're acting on a whim.
Something must be going to happen, right? Master?
You sent the four of us and the new disciples away ahead of time just to keep us out of this...ah, I get it!
The reason why you got so angry today and took your anger out on Xiao Ruier and that little fat boy is the same reason.
If you send Jiang Xia and the other three away, you will be the only one left at Shang Tong Peak!"
Luoyan became more and more worried as he spoke.
She stepped forward quickly and grasped her master's wrist.
He said with a worried look:
"Master, tell me honestly, do you feel something is going to happen? Don't pretend to be asleep! Speak!"
"What could it be?"
Shi Yan was annoyed by her disciples.
He simply waved his hand, showing the authority of a master, and shouted loudly:
"I am a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Realm, and I have many magical treasures to protect me. Even if I face the Dao Seeking Realm, I have the power to protect myself. You are just a small cultivator in the True Existence Realm, what are you worrying about?
If I tell you to go out, you go out.
I asked my master to predict for you that a few years after you reach the Ku Mu Realm, the spiritual energy will become active, and the chances of encountering rare treasures when you travel outside will also be greatly increased.
This is for your own good.
While you are still young, go out more and broaden your horizons. This practice is not just about seclusion. There is no harm in walking around. Hurry up and pack up for your long journey.
I will be in seclusion tomorrow, so I won’t see you off.”
After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves. Luo Yan, who was about to say something else, had his mouth and nose sealed, and was sent out of the cave by flowing light. The door of this exquisite three-story building also slammed shut.
No matter how the falling geese knocked against the doors and windows, no sound could be heard.
"Alas, the children have grown up and are not easy to deceive. They are really troublesome. Why are they so smart? Isn't it better to be a little confused?"
Shi Yan complained a few words.
She picked up the chip in her hand, placed it in front of her eyes, and recalled the process of taking this thing out of Jiang Xia's brain. She felt the eagerness to try it out that was unique to the Mo family.
or……
Put this thing into your own mind?
Once this thought came up, there was no way to suppress it.
The Mohists are all like this, full of curiosity about the unknown, and the fastest way to understand a new thing is to accept it and use it.
Anyway, all the supporting items have been removed from Jiang Xia’s mind.
She only took one look and knew how to put it in. For a cultivator in the Divine Realm, there was no need for an implanter. She had many ways to easily complete the chip installation.
However, before taking action, Shi Yan had not forgotten another thing. She yawned lazily, closed her eyes, and sent out her spiritual thoughts to explore Minggui Peak first.
Seeing that Jiang Xia and the other two had been settled, he felt slightly relieved.
He then turned his mind around and, like a sword, rushed straight to the back mountain where the punishment for sins was to be held.
"Liu Chu! Come out! Dare to do bad things and dare not open the door?"
"You've played tricks on your senior sister! Do you know that I was almost flirted with by that ignorant young man today? The innocence that I have protected for three hundred years was almost ruined by your bad junior brother!
Don't play dead!
Come out to me! "
