The conducting teacher was not worried but happy: "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

"I will never wade in excrement water, it's too disgusting!"

"So what you're saying is that you want to disobey military orders?"

"Military order?" The Nascent Soul was startled.

Taoist teacher: "What do you think the special training is for? After the special training, you will be sent to the wild land to join the demon-slaying team. The wild demons are rampant, and there is no chance of winning if you fight alone. You must fight as a unified army. .”

Nascent Soul monk: “But we are Nascent Soul.”

The monks are at a high level, and Yuanying Zhenren is already an elite. Especially for small and medium-sized sects like Miaoyin Sect, those above the level of gods are elders, and Yuanying is the top power below the elders.

How can such a noble person obey military orders like a soldier?

The Taoist teacher was happy: "Nascent Soul is amazing? During the World-Destroying War, even if I went to the wilderness, I had to abide by military orders and obey the orders of my superiors. To tell you the truth, the composition of the demon-slaying team in the wilderness does not entirely depend on cultivation. Strength is more important than decision-making ability. It is not uncommon for someone to be a captain in the early stage of Nascent Soul, to lead someone in the middle stage, to reach the peak, or even become a god."

The Yuanying monk was stunned.

Against the background that cultivation strength determines everything, the words of the Taoist teacher are indeed very impactful.

"Military orders in the army are greater than heaven. If you violate military orders, you will be imprisoned for half a year, and you will be deprived of your cultivation level. You have to think clearly." The Taoist teacher stared at the other party.

The Yuanying monk was silent.

Ordinarily, he is a member of the Miaoyin Sect, and the Taihao Sect has no right to deal with him.

But since everyone has been ordered to participate in the special training, it means that all sects have already reached a consensus. Moreover, as this teacher said, under the World Destruction War, everything is different from usual.

Gu Wuyou couldn't help but interject: "Then there's no need to wade in the feces, right?"

The Taoist teacher glanced at Gu Wuyou: "Yes, it is indeed unnecessary. But otherwise, how can I guarantee that you will obey the command under any circumstances? The excrement is dirty, but it is better than the death circle. Although I have quota for reduction of personnel, it is not easy for everyone to cultivate to Nascent Soul, so it is always good if one less person dies."

Reduction of personnel quota...

"It is said that most of you have participated in the experience of Shenxu Peak. So tell me, did you have the confidence to win when facing the White Demon?"

The monks were silent for a moment and shook their heads.

Mao's victory was certain, and at first everyone even thought that the entire army would be annihilated.

"The white devil is cunning enough, and the wilderness is even more dangerous. He may face the crisis of extinction at any time. At that time, the commander will have to sacrifice some people to preserve his strength. So what will happen if the sacrificed monks refuse to obey the order?"

"The battle to destroy the world is related to the survival of Middle-earth. Personal interests must give way to the overall situation. If you can't do it, just give up your cultivation and become an ordinary person."

The monks... were certainly not convinced by the Taoist teacher's words.

Taoist priests and monks are actually the most selfish.

Whether they steal secretly or rob openly, they are all about seizing the creation of heaven and earth. They don't care that the world may eventually become extinct due to the loss of too much creation.

Nowadays, the Taoist teacher said that he must sacrifice for the overall situation. It is strange that the monks can accept it.

We all understand the truth, and monks are not afraid of death, but to be honest, no one likes to be cannon fodder. Even if he must die, he should die in a grand manner that shocks the world.

"Continue!" the Taoist teacher shouted violently.

The monks quickly rallied, and those who had been opposed before became obedient.

There is no telling whether he will be sacrificed in the future. If he violates military orders now, he may immediately have unbearable consequences.

After a day of training, the monks are not tired... Nonsense, standing in line is nothing to a group of Nascent Souls. But everyone's mood is obviously not high, because they are all shocked.

They do not think that they must be the one who is sacrificed.

But the status of a monk that I was once proud of, especially the pride of being an elite after being promoted to Nascent Soul, has now faded a lot.

Gu Wuyou and Yingying walked back together.

"The White Demon is so abominable." Yingying sighed, "It would be great if there was no White Demon. I, a Yuanying Daoist, still have to obey military orders and may even be sacrificed..."

Gu Wuyou: "Sister, you are wrong."

Ying Ying: "Haha, don't fool people with that 'I won't be cannon fodder, who will?' argument. I don't have the problems of the Holy Mother."

"That's not what I meant." Gu Wuyou waved his hand, "Why do you always want to be sacrificed? If you are the one giving orders, you can only sacrifice others."

"You mean..."

"In terms of cultivation speed, you are only worse than Li Dan... No, now you have surpassed Li Dan, so an absolute elite like you should naturally be a leader and lead the team to kill the white demon. It is not your turn to sacrifice.

.”

"But people have said that leading a team does not entirely depend on strength."

“Are your decision-making skills poor?”

Yingying wanted to say that she was not as good as you anyway, but she swallowed her words back. Who said that she was not as good as Gu Wuyou? He had more tricks, and this monk was not the kind of indecisive person.

Besides, Gu Wuyou is not yet a Nascent Soul, so he is not qualified to go to the wilderness.

"So I have to strive to be the captain?"

"Wrong." Gu Wuyou shook his head, "There are leaders above the captain. You should climb up step by step. Just being a captain is not enough."

Yingying smiled noncommittally.

Being the captain is enough, no higher level is necessary.

According to the Taoist teacher's explanation, the higher the position, there is basically no opportunity to personally participate in the battle, and the main responsibility is overall command. Yingying does not want to be sacrificed, but at the same time, she does not want to hide behind and watch the fun.

The captain is the most suitable, as he can participate in slaying demons without worrying about being sacrificed.

Even if you give them all heads, they won’t even replace the commander!

Yingying had an idea and her mood quickly became comfortable.

The two separated on the road, and Gu Wuyou returned to his residence.

I saw a tall figure outside the courtyard gate from a distance.

"Fat man...no, Zhao Kuo!"

Gu Wuyou hurried over and looked at Zhao Kuo happily.

"I've met senior brother." Zhao Kuo bowed and saluted.

Gu Wuyou curtly returned the salute, stood up on tiptoe and patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder: "Why are you being so polite? Let's go into the house."

Yes, although Gu Wuyou has grown taller in the past two years, Zhao Kuo has obviously grown better. He is now taller and bigger, standing there like a wall, blocking the wind.

The two walked across the yard and entered the room.

Zhao Kuo pulled out a rag from his sleeve and started wiping the table without any explanation.

Gu Wuyou was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Clean up the house."

"No, my room is quite clean. Besides, if you come to me to play, why don't you wipe the table first... Do you have the legendary mysophobia?"

Zhao Kuo has mysophobia...it seems impossible.

Gu Wuyou still remembered that this kid picked up the chicken legs from the ground and gnawed them.

Zhao Kuo: "Playing? No, no, senior brother misunderstood. I came here to take care of senior brother's daily life under the orders of the Taoist Academy."

"Take care of me...you're teasing me, right?"

Everyone in the Miaoyin Sect, including Yuqing and the elders, are self-reliant and have never been taken care of.

Firstly, the monk sect does not allow ordinary people to enter, so it is impossible to have servants like a wealthy family. Secondly, even the lowest-level foundation-building disciples are serious monks, and they should not be taken advantage of.

People call for orders.

The chores are for the entire sect, not an individual person.

Besides, doing chores is exercise.

Of course none of the above matters.

The monks who have integrated into the secular world are essentially the same as the Taoist monks who lived thousands of years ago. Their lives are very simple. The higher their cultivation level, the less material needs they have. There is not even decent furniture in the room, and they can just sit casually during rest.

Zhao Kuo: "I don't dare, I'm really here to take care of my senior brother."

"But I don't need it."

"That's your business." Zhao Kuo wiped the table, "Just like this table is indeed not dirty, but I have to wipe it since I was ordered to do so. Senior brother may not know it when he first comes here, but the Taoist teachers are all taken care of by special personnel.

.”

According to Zhao Kuo, taking care of teachers' daily life is one of the training contents for new students, just like doing chores.

Gu Wuyou: "However, I am not a Taoist teacher."

Zhao Kuo: "Senior brother enjoys the treatment of a teacher."

"You mean..."

"This house, as well as other surrounding courtyards, are the residences of Taoist teachers. Students are not eligible to move in."

Only then did Gu Wuyou understand why he and Yingying had to separate halfway.

It's very simple. Just like when Lu Xuan made an exception and moved into the elder's villa, Gu Wuyou was treated differently from others from the moment he entered the Taoist temple.
