Volume IV Chapter 99: The Test of the Prophet
Middle-earth Baicao Valley Wan'an Creek.
It was the beginning of spring, and everything was recovering. On the hillside by Wan'an Creek, all kinds of wildflowers compete with each other.
An old lady with a kind face was sitting in a straw hut at the foot of the mountain, weaving clothes from fine silk. A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came in with a jug of water and saw the old lady who was concentrating on knitting clothes.
The little girl's angelic, pure and immaculate little face revealed a look of doubt, she put down the bucket and said, "Mother-in-law, why do you want to weave clothes yourself, with your spells, what kind of clothes can't be made?"
An innocent girl, there are always some questions in her heart, and her mother-in-law always patiently answers them to her.
But this time, the mother-in-law just smiled and said, "There are some things that can only be done by your own strength, and you will understand when you grow up." ”
This old woman is a saint who is known as a prophet, and even this little boy is a descendant of the immortals, ranking in the immortal class. At this time, the two were quietly waiting for Xue Zong's arrival.
Ever since Renault helped him escape from Griffondor, Xue Zong always felt undignified. Isn't he cowardly and afraid? But fortunately, Xue Zong is thick-skinned enough, and there is always a way to excuse himself, and he tells himself that sacrificing local interests to take care of the overall situation is the work of a big husband. That's it, I don't feel so ashamed.
Now there is one important thing that Xue Zong needs to consider, that is, he does not know the specific location of Baicao Valley. Since coming out of the immortal realm of the underworld, he has been walking by feeling all the way, and he had asked Huang Song and the specific location of Baicao Valley before, but the master said that the place can only be found by heart, not by mind.
......
Uh, isn't that nonsense!
But as an apprentice, Xue Zong naturally didn't dare to talk back. "Hundred Grass Valley. Xue Zong muttered in a low voice, he only knew that he was in the East, and he really didn't know anything about the rest.
As he was walking forward, he suddenly saw someone practicing swords in the woods, and he happened to have nothing to do, so Xue Zong hid in the tree to watch.
In the woods of a single room, a pure and lovely girl with wheat-colored skin is wielding a sword. Looking at the girl, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, it is the age of cardamom, her cheeks are ruddy, not like an ordinary child, and there is a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows.
Xue Zong shook his head with a smile and sighed. It's really troubled times, such a cute little girl doesn't study poetry and books well, and comes to practice swords in the wild.
Xue Zong was thinking about what was on his mind, but he didn't pay attention, only to see the little girl make a move to wrap the moon in her arms, and the bamboo sword in her hand went straight to her head and smashed it. The sword body flew and spun in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Xue Zong's approach. Xue Zong was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly used his true qi to shout [Empty Mountain Palm]
In the next second, the bamboo sword flew out.
Xue Zong was unsteady on his feet and fell from the tree.
"It's really rude, it's really shameful to hide in the dark and peek at girls!" The little girl looked at the embarrassed Xue Zong with a look of disdain on her face.
You're no better, are you! Look at your elf-like appearance to be a little cute, but you look like a cold-blooded killer.
The girl seems to have a lot of opinions about Xue Zong, or maybe she doesn't like men very much, in short, she has been wearing a small face, which is a pity for the natural beauty embryo.
"You're Xue Zong, right, you're here to find your mother-in-law?" the girl said coldly.
Xue Zong frowned, how did she know that I was Xue Zong, mother-in-law, wouldn't I be a prophet?
"Child, I see that you are young, and I don't care about you, how did you know my name, can it be that my reputation has spread throughout Middle-earth?"
"Dream on you, you can be famous and must be notorious, peeking at the little girl practicing swords, with ill intentions! Also, who is the child, I am the Yuxia Fairy!" the girl said with a look of disgust and disdain.
"Hehe, Fairy Yuxia, I Xue Zong haven't heard of black jade. Xue Zong shot back.
Unexpectedly, the little girl's little face was dyed with a trace of blush after hearing this, and her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, making an angry sound of "woo". The hateful Emoxys, who actually told Xue Zong this nickname, is so hateful, the next time I meet her, I must talk to her well, and let her treat me to delicious food!
Xue Zong looked at the little girl who didn't say a word, and asked again: "It's the big brother who is wrong, be good, tell my brother how you know my name, and my brother invites you to eat candy." Looking at Xue Zong's disgusting smile and this suspicious conversation, those who don't know must think that he is a bad guy who tricks children.
Hey, forget it, for the sake of the fate of the whole of Middle-earth, I don't have the same knowledge as him. Thinking of this, Xiao Yu stretched out her thin fingers like green onions, pointed to the lake in the distance, and said, "Mother-in-law said, if you want to see her, find a way to send a pot of water to the high mountains over there without any containers, if you can't do it, please go back." ”
Xue Zong wanted to ask something more, but the girl had already run into the woods at this time. By the time Xue Zong got closer, Xiaoyu had disappeared.
Mother-in-law?Help, I once heard Amoxys call the prophet mother-in-law, it can't be that the prophet asked her to come. It seems that the prophet wanted to test me.
Xue Zong walked to the lake, looked at the clear water, and made a difficulty. Bring water to the hillside without any containers? Xue Zong clapped his hands, and the kid just now only said that he couldn't use a container, but he didn't say that he couldn't use his hands.
Xue Zongxing, who felt that he was smart and powerful, rushed to the lake and went up the mountain. But the only problem is that before reaching the top of the mountain, the water leaks.
After that, no matter how careful Xue Zong was, he just couldn't do it. After tossing for a long time, Xue Zong felt that he was quite interesting, the prophet's exam questions would never be so simple, think about it, what is the way to transport water up the mountain.
His brain was spinning rapidly, and Xue Zong suddenly remembered what Ye Zi had said. The master of imperial qi can turn the qi of the five elements into a tangible one, thinking of this, Xue Zong exhaled a long breath, and stretched out his palms to start luck.
【Empty Mountain Palm】
Xue Zong shouted, and in the next second, the water surface seemed to explode, and the water splashed.
Yes, the [Empty Mountain Palm] can use the palm qi to diffuse power, and now it only needs to find a way to reunite the water to succeed.
Theoretically, it is possible, but how can we control the vitality and turn it into a tangible one. Xue Zong remembered again what happened when Ye Zi had let himself practice light gong and float on the water.
It also depends on the perfect method of mastering luck, the principle must be the same, so since this is the case, Xue Zong gathered his qi to the soles of his feet, took a few steps back, and flew towards the water's edge.
A magnificent jump, but instead of floating on the surface as he wished, he fell to the bottom of the lake with a "thud".
Although it was already spring, the lake was still cold and biting, so cold that Xue Zong shivered, and he shivered and walked to the shore, gritting his teeth. It wouldn't be that kid who wanted to be happy for himself, how could he carry water to the top of the mountain without any containers?
Xue Zong raised his eyes and looked at the hillside, the vertical distance was twenty or thirty meters, but he Xue Zong couldn't fly, so he could only take a long detour, how good is this!
On the side of Wan'an Creek in Baicao Valley, the little girl was watching Xue Zong's actions through the prophet's magic ball, and seeing that this fool was really funny, he came up with something and did not have the pride of a martial arts person at all, but it was like a clown performing a play he had carefully prepared.
"What are you looking at, Xiaoyu?" a gentle and loving voice came from behind her, and Xiaoyu looked back to see that it was the prophet's mother-in-law.
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you should really look at Xue Zong's appearance, my stomach hurts when I laugh, haha." I don't think he can do it in this life, otherwise he will definitely give up in a few days. ”
Seeing Xiaoyu, who was swearing, her mother-in-law just smiled and put away the prophet's magic ball.
touched Xiao Yu's cheek and said, "Xiao Yu, although this magic ball can see a person's actions, it can't see a person's personality, if you want to understand whether he can do something, you have to see how he does it, not how he is doing it now, do you understand?"
Xiaoyu blinked her watery eyes, her little head shaking like a rattle, and it was clear that she did not understand the meaning of the prophet's words.
However, it is true that as the prophet said, it is still too early to conclude that Xue Zong cannot do something.
