Chapter 57 Workmanship
Every morning, at the mountain gate of the Hundred Beasts Gate, there will be a group of people waiting.
Almost all of them are strong men, who work in the Hundred Beasts Gate for two or three days, earn a spirit stone and a few taels of silver, enough for the whole family for half a month, and then they don't go.
No one does it for years, five days at most, and the body can't bear it.
In the early morning of this day, the slender Jiang Xiaogu stood at the front of the team, very eye-catching.
Everyone speculated that she was a female warrior who was a body refining warrior, and because she was poor, she had to work hard.
As a samurai, she was too weak to help but be a little windy.
But from her cold demeanor, some people feel that she may not be an ordinary person.
At the appointed hour, a two-tailed ox pulled a caravan and walked down the hill in a hurry.
He Ping, a little disciple of the Hundred Beasts Gate, jumped out of the car and opened the door of the caravan.
The crowd rushed up, handed him the wooden sign and checked it, and then got into the car one after another, and sat down.
Jiang Xiaogu stood at the end of the line. The body was very high, and she struggled to climb up with some effort and sat in the outermost position.
He Ping didn't get into the car, but sat on the back of the ox, facing the body, and took out a bag of snacks to distribute to everyone. Without his need for a greeting, the two-tailed ox walked steadily towards the mountain.
"Today there is a first-class mission. He Ping said.
"Elder Yiyuan hasn't been back for a long time, and Hua Song Peak's beast nest needs to be cleaned up. We have removed the other spirit beasts, but the group of capuchin monkeys raised by the elders is too troublesome to catch. It depends on whether there is anyone who is willing to go, two spirit stones a day. β
"Capuchin monkeys, ......"
The people in the car just whispered, and no one answered.
He Ping persuaded: "The curly-eared monkey is just a little naughty, and it doesn't hurt people." β
"Last time, I just passed by Hua Songfeng, and my pants were scratched. A simple strong man whispered.
A carload of people laughed heartily, and He Ping also said happily: "Who told you to hide the dry food in front of them? They have all seen it, you should give it to them." β
"Well, when it's time to eat, I'll go and watch you finish your meal before leaving. β
A few of them seemed to be moved and hesitated, when a crisp voice came from the rear of the car.
"What are the steps of the curly-eared monkey?"
There was a sudden silence in the car. He Ping tilted his neck, and when he saw Jiang Xiaogu, he restrained his smile, "Second Order." You can't. β
Jiang Xiaogu nodded, "I can, I'll go." β
He Ping couldn't help but look at her twice, "You all signed a life and death contract, even if you die, we won't lose money." β
"No compensation. I'm not going to die. β
He Ping hesitated for a moment,
"Do you have to clean the entire Huasong Peak? β
He Ping had already seen her and understood that she was coming for the first time, and explained: "I will pick you up from the mountain in the evening, and the next day-"
"It's too troublesome," Jiang Xiaogu said, "I live on the peak, and I will go down the mountain after cleaning." β
He Ping was stunned, picking up and dropping off workers every day was for their sake, because there were many nocturnal animals in the Hundred Beasts Gate, and it was impossible to keep an eye on them at any time.
But she insisted that she had no reason to refuse.
He Ping agreed, but he always felt uneasy. He deliberately changed his route, and after sending everyone else away, he finally came to Huasong Peak.
A secluded path leads deep into the dark forest, where the fallen pine trees resemble rows of blades, and from time to time a black shadow passes through the trees.
"Thisβ"
He Ping looked down at the wooden plaque and said, "This ...... Jiang Xiaogu Woman, have you thought about it? I can arrange an easier errand for you. β
"That's it. β
He Ping shrugged his shoulders, and finally admonished: "There are a number of spirit beasts in Huasong Peak, and they all have a blood contract with their masters, if they die, we will all know." β
Jiang Xiaogu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Not only Hua Song Peak, but the entire Hundred Beast Gate. And Elder Yiyuan is the most precious of his curly-eared monkeys, and I will pick you up in five days. β
He Ping turned around and climbed on the back of the ox and rode away. The twin-tailed ox was a little faster, and the empty body bumped and bounced behind it.
Jiang Xiaogu looked at the ox cart for a while and stepped onto the path.
Two days later.
On the Spirit Hoof Peak, He Ping used water dragon magic to draw up a little water and wash the courtyard. The monotonous movements made him gradually distracted, and he couldn't help but look at Hua Songfeng.
"Hey!"
He Ningqi, the head of the Hundred Beast Sect, happened to come in, and the water splashed on his gossip robe impartially.
He Ping came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help He Ningqi pat his robe.
"I'm sorry Second Uncle, I didn't see you. β
He Ningqi pushed away He Ping's dirty rag, pulled his hem and trembled, "What's the matter with you in the past two days? was rejected by the junior sister of that peak? Do you want the second uncle to help you?"
"Second uncle," He Ping was unhappy, "Why are you thinking about these things, I'm worried about things in the sect." β
He Ningqi shook his robe and snorted, "There is Elder Junxian in the sect, and I, the head of the sect, don't need to worry about it, and it will be your turn to worry about the kid who drives the cattle." β
He Ping saw that he accidentally hit He Ningqi's pain point, so he hurriedly compensated.
"No, second uncle, that's the case. Two days ago, I pulled a workman to clean Huasong Peak. The woman was a mortal, but she asked to go, and I am afraid she would have died there. β
He Ping told the matter again, He Ningqi was also uneasy, and slapped He Ping on the head, "How can you let such a suspicious person in!"
"She didn't cultivateβ"
"There are more exercises to hide cultivation. If she steals Hua Songfeng's spirit beast, you won't be able to accompany your kid's life!"
He Ping saw that he was in a hurry, and couldn't help but sympathize with him.
As a second uncle, being a puppet leader, no elder can afford to provoke him.
He Ningqi grabbed He Ping's collar, flew into the sky, and went straight to Huasong Peak, landing on the peak in the blink of an eye, and suddenly Mu was in place, dumbfounded.
Huasong Peak is not neat and tidy before, the hay and fodder are stacked neatly, the animal cage and the beast nest are new, and the air is full of elegant flowers.
As if performing acrobatics, the curly-eared monkey stood up on its hind legs, grasping brooms, iron rakes, rags, and other objects on its forelimbs, and was concentrating on cleaning the courtyard.
There were also two curly-eared monkeys, one holding a silver plate filled with fresh spiritual fruits, which were placed on a wooden table.
The other was holding a large bouquet of flowers, carefully placed it in a bamboo tube, and used two furry paws to tidy it up.
Jiang Xiaogu was gnawing on the spirit fruit, and when he saw the two uninvited guests, he coughed lightly.
The curly-eared monkey suddenly dropped the tool in his hand, ran to the tree, and ran away.
He Ningqi and He Ping rubbed their eyes, blinked vigorously, and when they came back to their senses, Jiang Xiaogu was slowly cleaning up the tools scattered on the ground, and pretended to beat his legs.
"Are you here to check on my work?"
Do you work? Are you blind to us?
The uncle and nephew said at the same time.
