Chapter 445: Teaching People
The next day, Tao Zi got up early on purpose.
When she opened the door, she saw Xu Chengcheng standing in front of the door, holding a washbasin and a towel in her hands. When she saw her open the door, she immediately said respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Sister."
She glanced at Li Xiu, who was munching on sunflower seeds not far away, then at the pile of sunflower seed shells beside him. After a long silence, she asked, "How long have you been guarding here?"
Xu Chengcheng lowered her head slightly and said, "It hasn't been long. Senior Sister, do you need to wash up?"
Tao Zi said with a headache: "No need, we don't have such rules here, go and do your own thing first."
She hesitated for a long time before she said yes and turned to leave.
Li Xiu finally spoke: "I saw her standing here early in the morning, and she refused to leave no matter how hard I tried to persuade her. It's really strange. It's rare for a casual cultivator to have this habit."
Tao Zi said helplessly: "I guess her former master had this habit."
He looked over curiously and said, "Speaking of this, I find it strange. Do you know this person? How could you let her in without even going through the mind formation?"
Tao Zi sat on a chair to the side, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said, "I've seen him before, he's a nice guy, but he definitely can't get past the heart formation."
Li Xiu let out a sound, and his expression became more and more curious.
She explained, "This man's master wasn't very good, a complete jerk, but he was a master at controlling his apprentices. Xu Chengcheng was taught by him to be a bit pedantic and vicious, but she had a good nature. In the end, she killed her master and kept apologizing."
He thought quietly for a while, and couldn't help but complain: "This is awkward."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "She thinks she killed her master rationally, but emotionally she feels pained and can't get over it."
Li Xiu became more curious: "How do you know this?"
"The little ghost's previous owner was her master."
He: “…No wonder you know it so clearly.”
Tao Zi smiled and said, "From the little ghost's memory, it can be seen that this person is extremely talented, and his temper is not a big problem."
Li Xiu hummed, took the melon seeds she hadn't finished eating, and said, "You should go check on those ghost cultivators."
The physical cultivators have Lu Shaobai and Zhou Qiandan in charge, so there are no big problems. However, the ghost cultivators are different, and they are in a lot of trouble right now.
Tao Zi responded and picked up the whole bag of melon seeds beside him and took it away.
Li Xiu stayed for a while, then finally packed up the trash and left in a bad mood.
When they arrived at the place where the ghost cultivator was, a group of people were surrounding Xu Chengcheng and mocking him, "That's quite good. You're showing your courtesy so early in the morning. That's quite impressive."
"Look at how skilled he is. I'm afraid this isn't his first time serving someone."
Tao Zi frowned and said directly: "Be quiet."
Those people then noticed her arrival and all quieted down, but everyone was still standing there in a sloppy manner.
She said in a calm voice: "After Xu Chengcheng, she will be the senior sister of all of you."
One of the ghost cultivators suddenly looked up and said, "That's not right, Fellow Daoist Tao, I chose to be an elder, not a disciple."
Tao Zi didn't even bother to glance at him and said, "Elder, don't just stand here. Go find Elder Huaseng and practice your skills."
The ghost cultivator's expression turned grim, and she continued, "I can't teach elders, I can only teach disciples."
After weighing the pros and cons, the ghost cultivators who chose to be elders snorted coldly and walked towards the direction of the flower monk.
Xu Chengcheng stood where she was and said respectfully, "Big Sister."
Tao Zi nodded calmly and said, "From now on, you will be fully responsible for the ghost cultivators. If they are disobedient, you will be punished directly."
She immediately said yes.
She added, "Okay, you guys fight first, and I'll take a look at the situation."
The atmosphere was already eerie before these people started to take action, and once they started to move, there were all kinds of ghostly howling sounds, which was extremely annoying.
It’s probably because the disciples of the Ghost Sect taught well that they weren’t too eerie before they took action.
Tao Zi thought about the contents of the Ghost Record.
The Ghost Record is a very strange martial art. It can be divided into multiple exercises for study. It is better to say that it is a book rather than a martial art. It is a book with multiple chapters. However, all its contents combined together form a powerful martial art.
She thought about it and decisively selected two or three sections to teach them, one of which was how to hide the yin energy that ghost cultivators possessed.
By the time she finished thinking, the group of ghost cultivators were already lying on the ground howling, only Xu Chengcheng was still standing, but he also looked injured.
Tao Zi shouted impatiently, "Shut up! You've been beaten like this by a bunch of people at the same time. What right do you have to cry?"
Those ghost cultivators shut their mouths reluctantly.
She said calmly, "I'll give you three days to find a senior brother, a junior brother, a senior sister, or a junior sister."
The ghost cultivators' eyes were rolling around, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Tao Zi added, "In three days I will teach you how to conceal your Yin energy. If you don't want to learn, you can get out."
After saying this, she left.
After receiving the news, Li Xiu felt quite speechless and said, "Sister Tao, aren't you being too direct?"
She cracked some melon seeds and asked, "What do you think is the purpose of these ghost cultivators entering the Yisan Sect?"
"Stealing skills... No, it should be cultivation."
"Yes, in cultivation, they only value strength."
Li Xiu looked at her in bewilderment. She continued, "They have no rules and are used to being lazy. The more polite you are to them, the more they will push their buttons. It would be better to make your stance clear from the start so they can find their place sooner."
He thought about it again and again, then nodded and said, "That's right. Once they are defeated, they will naturally develop a sense of belonging and become well-behaved."
As he spoke, he became excited and said, "Sister Tao, I'll go talk to Hua Seng and ask him to find an excuse to fight with them whenever he wants. This will help them behave better sooner."
Tao Zi said casually: "It's up to you, as long as they are spared."
The trouble with independent cultivators is that they have no rules and no sect concepts, so they have to rely on fighting.
During these three days, Hua Monk defeated them one by one and was very happy. The cries of those ghost cultivators became quieter day by day.
There was no other way. If they started to make a fuss and disturbed Yue Qingya or Cheng Wuchou, they would have to warn them. In comparison, Xu Chengcheng, who rarely beat them, was simply a kind man.
After a while, Xu Chengcheng became the backbone of the group.
On the third day, when Tao Zi went to see them again, they had become very well behaved, although of course, they also had many wounds on their bodies.
She smiled and said, "Have you learned all the rules of Yisan Sect?"
What rules?
Those ghost cultivators looked at her in confusion.
Xu Chengcheng said respectfully, "I've learned this now. You must not make noises without reason, and you must not attack people within the sect without reason."
During this period, the ghost cultivators were beaten because of these two points, but only Xu Chengcheng made a summary.
Tao Zi smiled slightly and said, "Just learn it and start practicing today."
The ghost cultivators' eyes lit up. This was exactly what they were aiming for. As long as they learned it, they could run away at any time. After all, they had no master.
