Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 220: A Rare Comfort [I]

Most of the miscellaneous disciples who had just come up the mountain lived in Dengjing Peak, and they were responsible for the relatively easy tasks of going down the mountain to procure all kinds of materials and take care of the crops in the fields on weekdays.

Now everyone understands why the Fourth Elder is here in person. If it was just Dajun, the head of the dormitory, who assigned the task, the others would definitely ask what was going on, and even help Hanxiong and the others find Uncle Agen to theorize. But the fourth elder had already spoken on the spot, and it was not easy for others to say anything more.

But everyone was still very puzzled, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts who did the new two people and one dog offend?

The Fourth Elder also saw that everyone had an idea, cleared his throat and said, "Do you think that the work they do every day is too heavy and too much? Xiao Lu and Han Xiong already had supernatural cultivation in their bodies before they went up the mountain, of course, they can accomplish more things, and this will also allow them to cultivate harder! As for Wang Wang, since it was brought by Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu should be allowed to take care of it more at ordinary times. ”

How can a dog mine? Then Baoyu has to complete a double task by himself! Even if he is a monk with supernatural powers, it is very difficult. The junior fourth elder also deliberately said that the tasks led by the three miscellaneous disciples of them needed to work together, no matter who did it, it would be counted together in the end anyway. If the total amount is not completed, even if all three people are not completed.

Hanxiong is just that, this clearly shows that Xiaotian's task is also counted on Baoyu's head. Under questioning, many people knew that Baoyu's cultivation had already made four realms and nine turns, which was higher than many of the main disciples in the mountain, so it was no wonder that the task assigned by the junior fourth elder was so ruthless. He, a monk, went to the Wufu Hill to make a lot of fun and do miscellaneous work, probably the elders also have ideas.

Everyone couldn't help but show sympathy when they looked at Baoyu, and after the fourth elder and Uncle Agen left, they stepped forward and patted their shoulders to encourage them.

Only the junior fourth elder who assigned the task understood in his heart that this was specially taken care of by the second elder, and he wanted to teach the new Xiaolu a lesson. The second elder also emphasized that the sect master valued this young man very much, so he had to find a way to let him accept more tempering so that he could achieve great things in the future!

The Fourth Elder assigned the task. I haven't forgotten another serious thing, which is to teach the spirit of pioneering. After each miscellaneous disciple enters the school, he first learns the cultivation method of opening the mountain, which is usually taught by the head of the house. However, Baoyu and the other three miscellaneous disciples were extremely honored to receive the personal inheritance of the fourth elder.

The junior four elders didn't say a word, and directly imprinted a divine thought heart seal into each of their primordial spirits. From the introductory kung fu of opening the mountain to the ultimate state of martial arts, all kinds of secrets and precautions are included. They already have cultivation in their bodies, and they can slowly realize themselves in the realm of the primordial gods.

This is the authentic inheritance on Wufu Hill, far more detailed than the pioneering kung fu that has been passed down from generation to generation in Lu Village. All the keys are explained very thoroughly, including not only the cultivation method, but also the secrets of various fortunes. In other places, even if you can practice to open the mountain. It is impossible to learn so much.

The fourth elder did not favor one over the other, and left the same imprint on Xiao Tian's thoughts. If it were an ordinary dog, how could it decipher such a divine message? Such a complex thing imprinted in the mind can even cause confusion. But Wang Wang is obviously not an ordinary dog, and the divine seal left by the junior fourth elder is inherited by Wufuqiu for generations, if he can't interpret it, it won't suddenly come to mind, but he can interpret the next step of the next step of practice.

In fact, this kind of inheritance method is the most suitable for Xiao Tian, if he can't teach it with divine thoughts, how can others explain it clearly to a dog? As for whether Xiao Tian can practice to open the mountain. That's the dog's own business, anyway, the junior fourth elder only disciplines.

Although Baoyu no longer needs to practice the Founding Strength from scratch, he has also benefited a lot from receiving such a Divine Thought Heart Seal teaching, at least his cultivation and use of the Pioneering Spirit. With a deeper and more thorough understanding, it is also more powerful when it is used again.

After dinner that day, Hanxiong sat down on the bed and contemplated the divine seal passed on by the fourth elder. Since he has come to Wufu Qiu as a miscellaneous disciple, of course he also has to practice the kung fu of opening the mountain, and it would be best if he could successfully climb the main peak. And Xiao Tian also sat on his bed like a dog. seems to be learning from Hanxiong, but his eyes are closed and his expression is extremely serious and solemn.

Everyone wanted to laugh when they looked at Xiaotian, but they all consciously didn't laugh out loud, not wanting to disturb the new junior brother. Early the next morning, Dajun led the three junior disciples to Chopping Wood Peak, and followed a winding path down through the dense mountain forest to a steep rocky slope with strange rocks.

Except for the uncultivated fields and houses, the Takefu Hill still has a primitive appearance, and many ancient trees have grown for at least a thousand years. When passing through the dense forest, Xiao Tian rushed out and pounced on a fat bird, whose plumage was pure white with small black spots, and looked a bit like an old hen.

According to Dajun, this is the snow chicken on the high cliff, the taste is very delicious, washed and peeled clean and baked to sizzle oil, if you make a pot stew and then put a little salt, the aroma can float far away, the taste is better. There are five peaks in the huge Wufu Hill, only more than 300 people live, and even a large-scale village can not be compared, there are all kinds of birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, and there are also many medicinal fields.

The medicinal fields here are not cultivated in separate patches, but the local specialty elixir is sown in the most suitable wild environment, and when picking, it is necessary not only to look for it, but also to climb the cliff peaks and walk deep into the wild forest.

After all, this is a sect dojo that has been in operation for 500 years, and although it retains the original mountain woodland, there are no large fierce beasts. As for some ordinary so-called fierce beasts, they are not fierce in the eyes of Wufuqiu's disciples.

Several people came to the stream with snowcocks, and Baoyu kneaded the soil on the spot to refine a clay pot with mana, and cooked the chicken on a stone stove. Everyone was amazed by Baoyu's magic skills, but Baoyu himself was not here to show off, or to be able to stew a pot of snow chicken soup. When the snowcock is almost cooked, the golden oil flowers tumble with hot air, and the enticing aroma wafts far away. The aroma caused a fox to poke its head out of the bushes to watch, and when it spotted a few people, it turned around and ran.

Dajun took out a small bag from his arms, took out a handful of salt and sprinkled it into the soup, and went into the forest to pick up some wild vegetables and cook them together. Hanxiong was surprised: "Senior brother, why do you still carry salt with you?"

Dajun said proudly: "When I come to work in the mountains, I can often catch some game to satisfy my hunger, but today I forgot to bring the pot, and I also made a bite on the spot by the junior brother of Xiaolu." There is a kind of cold sesame pepper in this mountain, usually pick some dry ones, crush them and sprinkle them on the barbecue meat is the most suitable for seasoning. There is also a kind of cold bark, and the stewed broth tastes the most fragrant...... With Senior Brother Wang by your side, you can usually have a good mouth!"

Dajun introduced for a long time, how to cook all kinds of game with local materials in Wufu Hill, and he had already seen that Xiaotian was an excellent hunting dog, so Kwa Baoyu and Hanxiong had a good mouth. Everyone was drooling when they heard this, and it happened that the snow chicken was also stewed, so hurry up and eat it!

No matter how fat a snowcock is, it is not enough for three men and a gluttonous dog. After eating all the meat and soup, he smacked his lips and felt unfinished, Xiaotian wanted to catch another one, but was stopped by Baoyu. They're not here for a picnic, it's time to get down to business.

Not far from the spring, there is a mountain wall overgrown with shrubs and wild vines, bare with many jagged strange rocks, showing a deep mottled color, and the surface has a faint metallic sheen. This is a vein of wufu stone, much larger than the one Baoyu had seen outside the mountain, but it has not been mined on a large scale.

The disciples of Wufuqiu in the past generations have also taken Wufu stones here, but the traces left are not very obvious, and they are almost impossible to see if they are not careful. This situation is also completely normal, with the strength of Wufu Hill now, there are only more than 300 people living in the mountain, and not everyone runs to this place every day to mine Wufu stones. Therefore, the impact of the quarrying marks on the rock formations is not even comparable to the natural wind and snow erosion.

Dajun also talked about the rules of taking Wufu stone, which is nothing more than not to destroy the mountains and forests at will, to do things along the topography of the mineral veins, and not to touch the mountains and cause rock avalanches. The most important one is to choose only one place to quarry stones, and not to dig around.

Hunt around for the easiest stone to mine, and of course it's easier to get the job done. However, the purpose of Wufuqiu to let his disciples quarry stones is also to exercise the use of mountain opening energy in this process, so there is such a rule.

The axes, chisels, hammers and other tools needed for quarrying are piled up in a small stone niche between the mountain walls, all of which are high-quality treasures, and with enough strength, they can be used to chisel and split the hard rock formations. After everything was explained, Dajun finally whispered: "Wufuqiu also does not prohibit the same sect from helping each other to complete the task, I am afraid it will be a little difficult for you to do such heavy work when you just came."

If the day is approaching and you still can't complete the task, you can whisper to me, and I will find a few brothers to help. But this kind of thing, it's better not to let the elders know, otherwise it will be punished if it is too obvious. Every time, let Senior Brother Wang Wang catch some game and come back to treat everyone, as long as he survives the difficulties of the first few months. ”

Baoyu said with a smile: "Thank you Senior Brother for your concern, there is no need to help, since it is a task personally assigned by the four elders, we will definitely complete it with our hearts." ...... If there is a real difficulty, it is not too late to speak up then. ”

Dajun gave a few more words, such as asking him for advice at any time if he encounters any problems in cultivating the mountain opening strength, and if he may cause physical damage if he does not cultivate properly, he should also tell him in time, so that he can be treated. Some elixirs for refining muscles and bones can be obtained from Uncle Agen.

After Dajun left, Hanxiong said: "It's really lucky! When I bought the sword embryo that day, all the mountain goods sent by the old man who sold the sword could be used in medicine, and they were all strong muscles and bones, and Liao was damaged, which was simply prepared for cultivating the strength of the mountain. Some can be made into medicinal decoctions for bathing, while others can be refined for internal use. I'm a disciple of the Changling Sect, and I'm very good at doing this, so I don't need to ask Uncle Agen for help. ”

Of course, Baoyu knew that to practice Kaishan Jin, it was necessary to soak the whole body in hot water and take some drugs to promote the recovery of muscles, bones, qi and blood, otherwise the body would be damaged in the hard training. In the past, when the people of Lu Village and Huahai Village cultivated the strength of the mountain, these medicines were picked and refined by Granny Shui.

He smiled and said, "You can go to Uncle Agen and ask for a big wooden barrel, just find a place nearby to put it, and bathe the elixir with hot water when you have time, and there is no one in this mountain anyway." ”

The first thing they had to do was to find the best mining spot along the veins, and then concentrate on mining there, a task that was of course left to Baoyu. Baoyu chose not the place where it seemed that it was easiest to pick the martial arts stone, but the place where the aura of heaven and earth felt the best and was the most suitable for cultivation.

They brought all kinds of utensils, and as soon as Hanxiong stretched out his hand, an axe flew up and slashed towards the mountain wall. Hanxiong's Three Realms and Nine Transformation Cultivation has a very deep foundation, and he doesn't need to use his own hand to open mountains and split stones with the method of imperial objects. Baoyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Hanxiong, you can't mine like this! if you use such a technique, why do you have to come to Wufu Hill?"

During this period of time, you should use your skills to cultivate the strength of the mountain, and the drilling of the rock with a weapon is also a way of luck, and after the martial arts are completed, you can try to send out the strength through the air and enter the stone. According to the tasks assigned by the junior elders, if you can complete the daily ration, you should almost cultivate the martial arts to the extreme. ”

Hanxiong said with a bitter face: "I also understand this, but what should I do before I practice? The task doesn't have to be completed yet, does it really depend on Senior Brother Dajun and them to help? They can help for a while, can they still let people help every day? Besides, the market also has tasks, we not only have to do our own work, but also have to help it complete." ”

Xiao Tian shouted twice very dissatisfied, as if to say that it also has the power of imperial objects, and can use the axe of imperial objects to split mountains and stones, and does not need the help of Hanxiong and Baoyu. Baoyu turned her head and glared at it, signaling the dog not to be reckless. Don't easily show off your magic powers.

Baoyu discovered one thing, the place arranged for them by the junior four elders was quite unique, and there was no trace of other Wufuqiu disciples in the area halfway up the mountain of Chopping Wood Peak. And Baoyu's fellow brothers on the Grinding Sword Peak usually have their own jobs to do, and it is indeed inconvenient to come all the way to help, and it is too easy to attract attention.

Baoyu saw the clue, but he didn't know the real reason, this was deliberately arranged by the second elder and the fourth elder, so that they could suffer a lot in this place where they couldn't even see people, and it was not easy to find someone to help in private.

Baoyu smiled and said to Hanxiong: "You don't have to worry about this. The four elders have already said that the tasks of the three of us are counted together. You just need to cultivate the strength of the mountain, and usually only use your own strength to mine with an axe, and you can mine as much as you can, as for the rest of the tasks, it is not difficult for me.

Mr. Changling asked you to come to Wufu Hill, although he didn't say that you would definitely be able to climb the main peak, but you also thought so in your heart, right? I'm still waiting for Joon to leave Takefuqiu. We can climb the main peak together!"

Hanxiong listened very well and said apologetically: "You have successfully cut the road, and you can go to the main peak at any time if you want to." With your perfect cultivation of the Four Realms and Nine Transformations, you will also be able to complete the task. It's been a hard time for you these past few months!"

During the following period of time, Hanxiong cultivated the mountain opening energy every day, first of all, he had to sit down and use the qi machine to sense the energy in the form and god, which was easy for a monk to master. What is really uncomfortable is to use and exercise this strength with an axe and chisel. This is hard work, just like a person who can already fly, but let him insist on exercising and walking on his feet.

Hanxiong doesn't mine much stone every day. But when he saw Baoyu make a move, he was relieved, and the stone mined by Baoyu was enough to complete the task of the three of them. What really surprised Hanxiong was not how powerful Baoyu's cultivation mana was, but that Baoyu didn't use other magical spells at all, but was using martial arts.

Baoyu slashed out with an axe, and the strength turned into the edge of the axe blade penetrating into the stone wall, turning along the wrist, which could cut the tough mountain rock into various shapes. The second elder deliberately asked Baoyu to endure hardships, and he also knew that he couldn't count on Hanxiong or Wang Wang. But this did not stump Baoyu, before he left Lu Village, he used the mountain axe to split out the Baizhang Mountain Road, and he worked harder every day than now.

What Baoyu said to Xiao Jun, of course Hanxiong also knew that if he wanted to climb the main peak, he must also find the corresponding state of mind in his own way, just like a miscellaneous disciple who has just gone up the mountain, don't rely on his former identity and cultivation, and cultivate the mountain from scratch in a down-to-earth manner.

Baoyu admires Hanxiong's temperament, this person seems to be very straightforward but not stupid, and he is both enthusiastic and down-to-earth.

And Hanxiong not only admires Baoyu, but also admires and appreciates it indescribably. He felt very embarrassed that he couldn't complete many tasks every day, but he let Baoyu do almost three people's work alone. In the future, if he has the opportunity, he must repay and thank this Mr. Xiaolu, and now he is obedient to Baoyu on Wufu Hill.

As for Xiaotian, although the dog didn't open a single stone, he was not idle all day. It is in the process of condensing the demon pill, which can simulate the power in the form and god, and the introductory kung fu of cultivating the mountain opening energy. Xiao Tian will also sit and practice every day, and then run to the secluded mountains and forests to stretch his muscles.

The original body of a monster is often stronger than that of a monk, Xiao Tian obviously regards it as a way to exercise the original body, and it does not need to soak the whole body in elixir from time to time like Hanxiong, and it has not eaten less elixir since childhood.

As the days passed, it began to snow on the Takefu Hill. These three miscellaneous disciples went all the way to the halfway point of the Wood Cutting Peak every day to quarry stones, and handed over the best quality stones to Uncle Agen on the back of the Grinding Sword Peak. Baoyu also made two small baskets out of tough rattan, just enough to fit on Xiao Tian's back, and some smaller stones could be used to carry the dog. They walked back and forth on the mountain road, crossing the suspension bridge between Mojian Peak and Chopping Wood Peak every day, and the other disciples were amazed when they saw it, and some even looked at Xiaotian and secretly sighed that it was obviously a dog, why did he run to be a cow and a horse?
