Volume 3 Zombie Chapter 125: The Sect Ranking Competition
Far away from the boundary of the Void Peak, on a towering mountain, a series of glazed bricks and tiles, beautiful buildings are densely spread all over the high mountains, with a bit of order in the chaos, there is a sense of contradiction.
Looking down from above, the entire mountain is shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it difficult to see the layout of buildings and the number of guards inside.
This thin cloud is a kind of concealed formation, which can envelop the entire mountain in the formation, and obscure all the eyes of external exploration and inspection.
It's like a white scarf, covering this huge palace complex, which looks hazy and not real.
An old man, wearing a hat and holding a fishing rod, sat cross-legged on a cliff that stretched out like a long sword, and the sword-like hanging wall was only a meter thick, which looked quite dangerous.
So, it's hard to imagine how this old man sat on this hanging wall without falling off the cliff.
Lao Suo has a long white beard, a face that is as warm as a baby's skin, it can be broken by blowing, there are not many wrinkles on his face, and he looks very young, but his long snow-white hair betrays his age.
Lao Suo's deep and vicissitudes of life stared ahead, as if he could see through the fog and be able to see the scene outside.
The long rod was slightly curved, and the white and thin line was forty or fifty meters long, and it hung down to the extreme depth of the cliff, and at the top of the line was a long black nail about a foot long, which was quietly suspended in the air.
Jiang Taigong fishing? If Lin Hong was here, such a thought would definitely flash through his mind.
But obviously, this old man is not Jiang Taigong, and Jiang Taigong may not dare to sit on the hanging wall that is only one meter thick.
From time to time, a breeze blew up, blowing Lao Suo's long beard, giving him a sense of déjà vu like a fairy.
But the strange thing is that the wind can't blow the black spikes hanging in the air, as if the black spikes are fixed.
"Master!" A burly figure suddenly appeared behind Lao Suo, as if he had stepped out of the void.
Lao Su didn't think it was strange, and nodded as if he had expected it, "Third child, what's the matter?" "The vicissitudes of life and calmness of the voice make people feel very safe and dependent.
A faint smile appeared on the resolute face of the third child, and he said calmly: "There is another year to be the big competition of the sect ranking, this time the big competition will be held in our sect, and now we need to start preparing!" ”
"Hmm!" Lao Suo nodded lightly, waved his hand, and didn't look back, and said, "This matter is up to you!" ”
"Yes, Master!" The third child nodded with a calm face.
After a while, Lao Suo found that the third child was still standing in place, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and said softly: "What's wrong?" What else? ”
The burly third man touched the back of his head, and his smile was a little embarrassed, "The little nephew seems to have gone out to practice when he is old, and now he is shouting to go out every day!" ”
Lao Su was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a little emotional, "So fast?" This little girl has grown up too! ”
"yes, yes!" The third child scratched his head, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, grandpa!" A female voice as crisp as a yellow oriole sounded from the mountainside, and then a figure soon came to the two of them.
Lao Suo and Lao San looked at this little girl who was jumping like a lark speechlessly, they just praised her for growing up, and the result was just a direct slap in the face, is it really good?
"Girl! Stand up for me! The third child glared at the woman in green clothes.
The woman was so frightened, she subconsciously stood still, and when she came back to her senses, she glanced at the third child, and said, "Third uncle, don't yell at me, I'm cowardly!" ”
She didn't wait for the third child to say anything, she ran to Lao Suo's side, followed Lao Suo, sat down, and leaned on Lao Suo's body, "Grandpa, Ling'er came to see you!" ”
"Hmmm! Shrewd! A doting smile appeared on Lao Suo's face, and he raised his hand and touched Ling'er's little head, "What's wrong?" What trouble did you give your grandfather again? ”
Ling'er's face turned red, pouted, looked at Lao Su dissatisfied, and said, "Grandpa, how can you look at me like this!" Ling'er is obediently staying in the room to practice these days! ”
"Say it! Grandpa doesn't blame you this time! The old man pursed his mouth, what kind of character is this girl, can he still not know?
Hearing this, Ling'er's face was obviously happy, but she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be sad: "When I went to find the second grandfather last night, wasn't he there!" No one to play with me. ”
Ling'er raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Lao Suo's expression with a weak heart, and then continued: "When I was bored, I picked up the purple clay pot that my second grandfather often held in his hand and played with it, and I really only had it!" ”
At the end, Ling'er also made a 'very small' gesture with a serious face.
Then, as if thinking of something, a helpless look appeared on Ling'er's face, and then said: "I didn't expect this purple clay pot to be so careless that it accidentally fell to the ground!" ”
Hearing this, Lao Su and the third couldn't help but gasp, and asked in unison, "Broken?" ”
"Not really!" Ling'er pouted and shook her head.
Lao Suo and the third child breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that it's not broken, it stands to reason that this kind of thing that the second child regards as the root of life should have certain protective measures!
"I just accidentally smashed the handle!" Ling'er's words came one after another, which made Lao Suo and the third can't help but widen their eyes, and their faces were full of incredulity.
Immediately, the third child was the first to come back to his senses, coughed lightly twice, and hurriedly bowed down to Lao Suo, "Master, the disciple went down first!" ”
Without waiting for Lao Suo to speak, the third child disappeared out of thin air, as if there was no such person in this world.
was shouted by the third child, Lao Suo suddenly came back to his senses, his vicissitudes of life became even more vicissitudes, looked at the bell in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Ling'er girl!" ”
"Huh?" Ling'er tilted her head in confusion.
"You're making our two brothers turn their faces when they get old!" Lao Suo's tone was heavy.
"Huh? Is it so serious? Ling'er's face was bitter, "But I really didn't know this purple clay pot was so expensive!" Or, grandpa, you can help me compensate my second grandfather! ”
"Compensation? Is this a question of reparations? Lao Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then changed his words: "By the way, girl, I heard that you have reached the age to go out to practice, right?" ”
"yes!" Ling'er nodded, rolled her eyes, and whispered, "Grandpa, or I'd better stay with you!" I don't like it at all! ”
"Don't, you go, if you don't go, I'll be jumping here!" Lao Suo was startled and reflexively refused.
At the end of the words, seeing Ling'er's widening eyes, he suddenly realized that what he seemed to say was a little too straightforward, so he couldn't help coughing and persuaded softly: "Well, that's the case, the main thing, this experience is the tradition of our sect!" You can't break it, or I'll be jumping on my side! You know what I mean, right? ”
"Oh! That's what it means! I thought my grandfather hated me! Ling'er suddenly realized.
Lao Su wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally stabilized this girl.
He pretended to sigh with a heavy face, and continued: "You have also grown up, grandpa can protect you for a while, but he can't protect you for a lifetime, go out to experience, understand the world, and improve some knowledge, it is only good for you, no harm!" ”
After hearing this, Ling'er couldn't help but lower her head, as if she was thinking seriously, and after her eyes rolled a few times, she raised her head and smiled obediently: "Okay!" Then listen to grandpa! ”
"Hmmm! That's good! Lao Su breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on Junyi's face.
But the next moment, the smile on his face froze, because he saw Ling'er take something out of his arms.
It is the purple clay pot that the second child often holds in his hand, and the baby is like the root of life!
"Then I'll give this thing to Grandpa! Remember to tell the second grandfather! Ling'er really didn't mean it! Ling'er smiled obediently and put the purple clay pot in her hand into Lao Suo's arms.
Then she got up quickly, turned her head and quickly swept down the mountain, and her voice came from behind Lao Suo, "Then thank you grandpa!" ”
Lao Suo looked at the purple clay pot in his arms fixedly, and when he saw the broken handle on the purple clay pot, he couldn't help but cover his forehead and let out a bitter wail, "The old man's wine and fish!" ”
Before the words fell, a gloomy voice sounded behind him, "Big brother! ”
Lao Suo's wailing voice stopped abruptly, and he stiffly glanced back at the figure behind him, he barely squeezed out a smile, and his voice was a little dry, "Second brother! Why do you have time to come to me? ”
"My purple clay pot!" The person who came had silver hair, and a scar on his face was full of flesh, from the forehead in the upper left corner, past the center of the eyebrows, and all the way to the chin in the lower right corner, looking hideous and terrifying.
At this moment, he was looking at Lao Suo's arms with bloodshot eyes, as if he saw something that broke his heart, "Why are you here?" And it's broken? ”
Hearing this, Lao Su smiled awkwardly, "Second brother, listen to my explanation!" ”
A big knife suddenly appeared in the hand of the scar-faced old man, his eyes were blood-red, and he stared at his eldest brother angrily, as if he was looking at an enemy who did not share the sky.
"Wait, you put the knife down first, you listen to me!" Lao Su was suddenly anxious and waved his hand again and again.
"Big brother, if you don't give me an explanation of this matter, we will have a fight today!"
"Come, let's put down the knife first and say slowly, don't put the knife on my neck! It's uncomfortable! Did You Know? ”
After a while, the two old men sat cross-legged on the hanging wall, the second brother's face was full of flesh and frowning, and a mountain machete was set up next to him, looking pensive.
Lao Su swallowed his saliva, felt that his mouth was dry, he couldn't help rubbing his dry throat, and said: "That's the way it is, the bell girl doesn't have a heart, don't pursue this matter for my sake!" ”
"Okay! Now that you have spoken, big brother, I am not to blame for the past! The second brother's wrinkled brows finally relaxed, and he gestured two fingers at Lao Suo, "Two flying fish, one pot of wine!" ”
Hearing this, Lao Suo's eyes suddenly widened, one hand trembled to cover his chest, and scolded: "You stinky boy, take advantage of the fire to rob? Don't do it! ”
"Then I'll go find the bell girl!" The second brother wanted to stand up with the knife in his hand.
Lao Suo hurriedly stopped him, grabbed his arm, and said, "Deal!" But you have to promise me one thing! ”
"What's the matter?" The second brother frowned, with a look of vigilance.
Lao Suo curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Give that girl a little lesson, let her go out to practice quickly, don't stay here!" ”
"Oh!" The second brother suddenly realized, pointed to Lao Suo and said, "Big brother, are you afraid that she will pester you?" Since she was a child, she has caused you a lot of trouble! ”
"Ahem" Lao Suo was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again: "You know, don't hurry up!" After speaking, he grabbed his hand into the void, and a wine jug suddenly appeared in his hand, threw it to the second brother, and grabbed the fish basket next to him and threw it over, "There are exactly two of them!" ”
"Okay!" The second brother's face was happy, he took the wine jug, the fish basket and the broken purple clay pot, and hurriedly agreed, waving his hand, "This matter will be revealed!" ”
After speaking, he held three things and disappeared in place in an instant.
Lao Suo looked at the disappeared second brother, shook his head, and sighed, "This old boy, this girl!" If you want to eat, tell me, why bother with these moths! After saying that, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, obviously he was also enjoying it.
The figure of the second brother suddenly appeared in a courtyard on the high mountain, and just as he appeared, Ling'er's crisp voice came from his ears, "Second grandfather, it's done?" ”
"It's done!" The second brother happily agreed, and beckoned Ling'er to come over, "Let's go, let's have a pot of flying fish pot!" ”
"Yay!" Ling'er happily agreed, and happily followed behind the second grandfather.
"Hey, by the way, girl Ling, it looks like you have to go for this experience!" The second grandfather took the time to turn around and said to Ling'er seriously.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ling'er shook her head indifferently, and then said happily: "As long as the second grandfather doesn't blame Ling'er for accidentally breaking your purple clay pot!" ”
The second brother rubbed Ling'er's little head dotingly, and his face full of meat softened, "I don't blame you!" ”
"Hee-hee!" Ling'er smiled coquettishly.
