Jiang Feng found a small tree, broke two thick branches, handed the root to the big pillar and said, "Big pillar, let's go up." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The two supported each other, tried the soft stones, and then began to climb up. As soon as they climbed up more than 100 zhang, the two of them felt that they were getting hotter and hotter, and the stones on the ground were hot and hot like stones in the fire pit, and there was a strong smell of sulfur, which choked the tears and snot of the two people and couldn't stop flowing out. Jiang Feng and Dazhu climbed up against the hillside almost their entire bodies at this time, their knees, palms, and feet were worn out. The fiery sand, mixed with sweat, covered the wound, and the pickling was extremely painful.

Jiang Feng remembered his miserable life experience, remembered the hideous face of the enemy, and somehow burst out of a wave of energy, covering all these pains, and his body was like a swimming snake, completely ignoring the roughness of the sand and stones, crawling up.

Da Zhu looked at Jiang Feng and was slightly stunned, and shouted in his mouth: "Brother Xiaojiang, wait for me." ”

The two pulled each other all the way, and finally came to the protruding stone cliff, at this time the two of them were already blackened, ragged, and unpresented. The two looked up at this stone cliff, only to see that this stone cliff protrudes from the hillside for three or four feet, and the bottom is suspended in the air, and the steep mountain walls on both sides are full of fine and soft sand and stones, and there is no place to borrow strength.

When Jiang Feng saw this, he said to Dazhu: "Dazhu, you step on my shoulder, and after climbing up, put down your clothes and pull me up." ”

Dazhu said: "Brother Xiaojiang, you are light, you should go up, I will support you below." ”

"Okay, then be careful. Jiang Feng admonished.

Dazhu found a slightly harder place and tried his feet, and felt that it was quite stable, so he said, "Brother Xiaojiang, go on." ”

Jiang Feng stepped on the shoulder of the big pillar, the big pillar slowly straightened up, Jiang Feng grabbed the protruding stone with his hand, and jumped towards the top of the cliff with the strength of the big pillar to stand up. His fingers had just reached the edge of the cliff, but by this time he had completely lost his strength, his body was suspended in the air, his hands could no longer support it, and his fingers slipped and he fell off the cliff. The falling Jiang Feng slammed heavily on the sand and rolled down the hillside, carrying the sand and dust all the way down.

At this critical juncture, suddenly a figure flashed, and I saw Wei Laosi catching up from below. He saw the trajectory of Jiang Feng's rolling, stepped forward with a few arrows, grabbed Jiang Feng's belt, and his figure fell to a gentle place in a few flashes.

"When the time comes, let's go down and wait for the fate. Wei Laosi said loudly to everyone.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Feng woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, a big round face was in front of his eyes.

"Brother Xiaojiang, you finally woke up, Dr. Qi is really amazing, he said that you want to sleep for half a day, and you really slept for half a day. Jiang Feng came back to his senses at this time and said, "Dazhu, where are we." ”

"Brother Xiao Jiang, today you fell off the cliff, the time for the exam is coming, you fell not lightly this time, there are many wounds on your body, and you have a knock on your head. Mr. Wei sent you directly to Dr. Qi. Doctor Qi said, you are fine, but your head was concussed and you are going to sleep for a long time, and you have just been given medicine. Also, Mr. Wei said that although we didn't climb up, our perseverance was commendable, and it happened that there was a shortage of medicine pickers in the Danfang, so we were assigned to Dr. Qi. ”

"Oh, what about the others?" Jiang Feng asked

"Everyone else failed the assessment and went home. Otsuki replied.

"Mr. Qi came here just now and said that there is no need to meet today, and early tomorrow morning, let the two of us go to his study to see him. Brother Jiang, are you hungry, I just got a few steamed buns in the kitchen, I'll feed them to you. Dazhu said with concern.

"Okay, thank you Dazhu, as soon as you mention steamed buns, I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten for a day. Jiang Feng smiled bitterly.

"Okay, come, eat. The pair of brothers in distress chatted while eating, and the night passed.

After a night's sleep, Jiang Feng was in good spirits and was able to get out of bed and walk freely, and the next morning Jiang Feng pushed open the door and found that they were in a small valley, with a cool breeze in the early morning, and the mountain flowers were lush and refreshing. There is a plum forest in the valley, about two or three acres in size, although there are no plum blossoms at this time, there are kingfishers perched on it, the empty valley birds chirp, indescribable seclusion. I only heard a dingdong sound, it turned out that Dazhu called two buckets of water, and the two washed their bodies in the valley, changed into new clothes, and prepared to go to the study to meet Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi's study is not far away, in the other corner of Merlin. Jiang Feng and Dazhu walked out of the study with apprehension, and found a person sitting inside, this person was forty-seven or eighteen, wearing a blue satin robe, white face, long eyebrows, big ears, fine eyes, a short black beard on the chin, and a very comfortable, but very beautiful bachelor's hat. In the middle of the front of the hat, there is a gemstone knot that shimmers with blue light, which looks quite elegant indeed. But a pair of eyes are not as graceful as they look, to put it more simply, they look very tired, and there is no smile on their fair cheeks, but there are three points of sickness. I saw his whole body, leaning loosely on the back of the chair, and there was an embroidered pillow behind him. It was early in the morning, the sun was rising, and it was a good time to soak up the sun, but the curtains in the study were all down, and the room looked a little dark.

I saw this Confucian scholar holding a long scroll in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Since you have arrived, come in." ”

"Yes, sir. Jiang Feng and Dazhu replied in unison.

The two cautiously walked into the study, leaning on each other, not daring to speak, and standing in front of Confucius. Confucian put down the book, looked at the two of them for a moment, and then said: "What are the names of the two of you, why do you want to worship the mountain, you can be literate, tell me briefly." ”

Jiang Feng said: "My name is Jiang Feng, Wangwushan, from Huxi Village. Because he was kicked out of the house by his stepfather, there was no way out, so he came to worship the mountain, wanting to learn kung fu and settle down. Since I was a child, my biological father taught me the Four Books and the Five Classics, and I can be regarded as having read the books of the sages. ”

Dazhu said: "My name is Zhao Dazhu, and my father is a farmer." My father once asked me to go to private school, but I couldn't remember those tadpole words, and I was kicked out by my husband. But I will write my own name ... Hehe, my father asked me to go outside, but I didn't understand, so I followed the young master of the owner here, and I also wanted to learn kung fu. ”

"Well, good. Mr. Qi nodded and said, "The Wei brothers said that you two are persevering and tenacious, and they share weal and bene. Just right for me as a medicine boy. But I have a rule here, whoever enters my disciple must first be a medicine picking boy for three years, and after being familiar with the growth environment of herbs, he can only become my disciple after passing the assessment, as for you want to learn kung fu, it is not difficult. I like fairness in my life, I don't like to owe each other, and if I want to save people, I must pay the same reward. Therefore, the rivers and lakes call me "Mr. Change Life", I have practiced medicine for 30 years, and I have saved countless heroes in the rivers and lakes, and there are many people who owe me their lives, and most of them are exchanged for their famous skills. Therefore, I am afraid that even the stunt camp of the Divine Soldier Gate is far inferior. As long as you can pay a sufficient price, you can learn anything. ”

Jiang Feng and Dazhu looked at each other and smiled, thinking to themselves: "It turns out that you don't need to go to any bullshit inner hall, there is a stunt here." The two of them looked at Mr. Qi in unison and nodded vigorously.

Qi Hanbing waved his hand first and said, "Don't be too happy, my medicine picking boy has dozens of children, and in recent years, the fighting in the door has intensified, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials, especially precious medicinal materials." In desperation, I had to increase the amount of medicine collected. You can buy them in the market, and you pick rare herbs, most of which are grown off the beaten track or in treacherous environments. In the past two years, more than ten medicine children have either fallen off the cliff and died, or died in the tiger's mouth. Therefore, it is very dangerous to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and you must also think clearly. ”

More than a dozen have died in two years, Jiang Feng and Dazhu looked at each other with a wry smile, this is too dangerous. At this time, Jiang Feng raised his head and said, "Sir, since it is so dangerous to collect medicine, Mr. will teach us some self-defense techniques." ”

Mr. Qi said: "Of course, in the first half of the year, my assistant Qi Chiyuan and Lao Fang will teach you some climbing and fighting, the way to survive in the wild, and will take you to collect a few herbs. After half a year, you can go your own way, or you can form a team of several people, as long as you collect the medicinal materials within the specified time. For every task you complete, you can come to me in exchange for fifty taels of silver, and for every five tasks you complete, you can exchange for a martial arts secret book you want. Before that, I will let you each choose a secret book to practice self-defense, but if you can't complete a task within a year, you will break your hands and feet and drive them out of the mountain, do you understand?"

"Understood. Jiang Feng, Dazhu replied in unison.

Mr. Qi waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys go down, I'm a little tired, you go to the Danfang in the afternoon to find Qi Chiyuan to choose a secret book, and then follow him to practice diligently, I will release the task on the first day of each month, and you can complete it." ”

Jiang Feng and Da Zhu shouted goodbye, and quietly and quickly exited the study. After gently covering the door of the house, the two looked at each other, and Da Zhu said excitedly: "Brother Xiaojiang, for a task, there are fifty taels of silver! This Mr. Qi is so generous, my father can't earn so much money in three years." It looks like we're going to get rich!hahahaha...."Dazhu couldn't help but dance thinking about Mr. Qi's generous bounty.

"Dazhu, I don't think it's that simple, haven't you heard what Mr. said? In the past two years, more than a dozen medicine picking boys have died, and I think this medicine is not easy to pick! Also, if you can't complete a task in a year, you will be picked off and your tendons will be broken. That means either we'll make a fortune one year, or we'll be crippled next year!"

Saying this, Jiang Feng deliberately accentuated his tone. Da Zhu couldn't help but tremble when he heard the words "crippled" and "pick off the tendons of his hands and feet", and hurriedly said: "It's really scary, let's hurry up to the Danfang to find Qi Chiyuan, pick a good secret, and practice it first to defend yourself." ”
