Chapter 21: The First Task (1)

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye I was a nineteen-year-old boy, and in a few months, I would be going home for the crown.

In the past three years, Master has given me "special guidance" every day, and I have learned very quickly, and my skills have become more and more agile, such as hanging upside down with golden hooks, exploring immortals and locking souls, etc.

On this day, I was hanging from the eaves when the elder brother came over and shouted at me below.

"Little junior brother! It's time to eat pull! ”

Although I hung on the eaves with my head down, my face did not change, and I replied with a lot of energy.

"Howler!"

After that, I turned over and jumped, took a forward rolling posture and spun in the air, and landed firmly on the ground, with standard movements and beautiful postures.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel proud, for several years, the master will teach the tomb robbery craft, I learn quickly, many things are at a glance, but there are always a little mistakes in practice,

For example, the last time I jumped from the house, I happened to hit the body of a little Taoist priest who swept the floor, good guy, it was the seven orifices that bleed, and it almost killed him!

On the contrary, regarding martial arts, the master does not teach at all. He said, "You can't use it to learn martial arts, just run when you meet zongzi, is it possible that you still want to compete with him?" ”

I think it's right, so I didn't continue to beg him, the inverted fighting technique is fundamentally inseparable from traditional martial arts, and the basic skills are almost the same.

The daily horse steps, handstands, upper beams and lower rooms, bending the abdomen and turning over, and sideways dodging are all to be learned, with my current skills, it is bragging to say that it is a husband, but it is definitely sure to cut four or five bandits.

My body is also getting taller, starting from my brother's chest, and now I am as tall as him, and even my legs are longer than his. The appearance is also a lot more handsome, I guess when I see Xue'er again, it will definitely be a different scene!

"Little junior brother, your skills are getting better and better!"

I clasped my fist at the senior brother and said, "Hey, hey, thank you for the compliment!" By the way, senior brother, last time I saw my sister-in-law and a little Taoist priest eyebrows, you have to be careful! ”

All the senior brothers are lay disciples, can get married and have children, his wife is a young lady in Hanzhong, it is said that this woman is arrogant and willful, quite unreasonable, and even does not let him take a concubine, and finally the two quarreled, he went up the mountain to become a Taoist priest.

When I first heard this story, it was told by the second senior brother, and I was almost unhappy at the time, I was afraid that my wife would be the first person in the Dayue Dynasty to be like this.

I thought that after saying this, the elder brother would go home to see, but it is not okay for the husband and wife to be separated like this, even if they have no feelings, they can't take a green hat! Unexpectedly, he said to me,

"Alas, forget it, the end of my life is already doomed, and now I just think about devout cultivation and raising two children to grow up."

When I heard this, he was quite open-minded! smiled secretly, didn't say anything, and walked into the Qingzhai Hall with him.

Regarding the issue of food, I have mentioned it to the master many times in the past few years, but it has not changed once, gruel in the morning, steamed buns in the evening, and meat that only exists in dreams, and it is strange to say, I haven't eaten meat for a few years, isn't it good for me, I grow so tall~

I sat down with my senior brother, there were dozens of little Taoist priests in the hall eating, I just picked up a big white steamed bun and put it in my mouth, and the master walked in,

In the past few years, Master has aged a lot, and his skin has become more shriveled and rough, but the only thing that has not changed is his bright eyes, and I saw him come to me and say to me.

"Come to the Pure Heart Hall after eating."

I chewed the steamed bun in my mouth and answered vaguely, and the senior brother patted me on the shoulder from the side and asked.

"Master, why has you been looking for you lately, isn't it annoying that something is wrong?"

"Hi .. Hmm, well, how can there be, Master saw that I was in good shape, so he just taught me a few more self-defense skills. ”

After hearing this, he pursed his lips, his face was in disbelief, and I didn't explain too much, the things of the Tomb Sect can only be known to me and the master.

I'm really tired of eating things with green roots and green leaves over the years, and I see that people are all green now! After a few bites, he lost his appetite, gently put down his chopsticks, and walked out.

The view in the clouds in the evening is very beautiful, out of the Qingzhai Palace, the opposite side is the canyon with a wide field of vision, various peaks are scattered separately, some of the mountains have trees, and some of the mountains are bare strange rocks.

In the distance, two white hummingbirds nestled next to each other fell on the big tree, chattering non-stop, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this beautiful mountain stream, reflecting the body of the white bird, illuminating the last touch of scenery before the night came.

I strolled to the Qingxin Hall, the portrait of Lao Tzu was still hanging quietly there, I followed the master's example, came to the desk and lit three incense candles, bowed to the portrait three times, and inserted it. Coincidentally, Master also walked in at the same time, and when he saw me paying homage to Lao Tzu, he smiled.

"Hehehe, don't you believe this? Why do you remember incense today? ”

I turned around and replied.

"I don't believe that, but I have a lot of respect for him, and he's a great man." I have a lot of respect for people who have done great things to the world, and sometimes I don't say it on my lips, but I think so in my heart.

"Call me so early today, but what's the matter?"

Master walked to the wooden couch and sat down, sighed, I wondered a little, why did I sigh again, so I asked.

"Master, what are you?"

"It's okay, thinking that you will be leaving in three months, I feel very uncomfortable as a teacher."

I grinned widely, "Hahaha, Master, you are the same as your lover, and you are not numb." “

I wanted to make him happy, but I didn't expect him to ignore my words at all.

"There's not that much time left, so tonight, you can go down and try it."

"!? Tonight"

Seeing him nod solemnly, I was sure of what he said, and I had promised Master earlier that I would go and retrieve the bones of several uncles for him, which was also my first mission to join the Tomb Sect.

I was the only one who could go down, and everything had to be done independently. I used to look forward to going every day, and I always asked Master when I could go down, and Master's answer was the same, "The time has not yet come."

Today, as soon as I said that I could go, I was a little panicked, after all, it was the first time, no matter how good the theory and foundation were, it would not be the same thing when it came to actual combat.

Looking at Master's determined eyes, I also nodded heavily.

"Well, tonight, you bring all the tools, and I will show you the place, remember, if you can't do it, you must retreat, your life is the most important thing!"

......

When I got back to my lodgings, I began to organize my equipment, a delicate wooden shovel, a pubic claw, a rope to tie up the corpse, a black donkey's hooves and glutinous rice, and I brought hemp rope and a hemp bag. It's definitely going to be used to hold the bones!

Drinking a sip of rice wine stolen from the master, I felt that the whole person was a little fluttering, hum, from now on, Lao Tzu is also a tomb robber, phew, what a tomb robber, he is a serious "underground worker!" ”

The moon was on the brow, the night was already deep, and a few tsundere crows in the distance also stopped after a howl. The room was quiet, as if all the living creatures had fallen asleep.

Master pushed open the door and walked in and said a word to me.

"Let's go."

I stood up, grabbed my rucksack and headed outside. Master walked in front, descended the steps, and went straight to the bamboo forest. I can't help but chuckle when I see this!

The nightmare of that year has always lingered in my heart, and the route Master took was the direction in which I went down to peep in that dream! Following him, he played with the green bamboos one after another, and stopped after walking for a while.

I saw the master standing in front of the last bamboo forest, turning his head, putting his feet on the ground a little, and said.

"This is it, we went down from here, you can start digging, remember! No matter what happens, it's all about saving your life! Also, we ran into zongzi that year, and I don't know if he is still alive, if you see it, you need to return quickly, don't fall in love! ”

I saw where the old man was pointing with his feet, the same place where I squatted and peeped in my dreams! I wanted to ask, but when I saw the old man's serious appearance, I gave up this idea and nodded, "Yes, disciple remember!" ”

After that, I shook off the backpack and took out a delicate small wooden shovel from it, which was watered with copper water, not to mention hard and sharp, I squatted down and used the fixed plate and gold digging method taught by the master, and started the civil engineering work with a shovel and shovel.

The so-called fixing gold method is to hold the shovel horizontally, and then stretch out the soil forward, the first two shovels, back a shovel, and one shovel on the left and right. When shoveling back, you should shake your hands vigorously, and bring the soil out from under the crotch by the way, which is a very practical method of making holes.

The first time I did something like this, I seemed excited and flustered, and I couldn't help but hurry, and I was a little out of breath after just picking more than a hundred shovels, and by this time my body was already halfway in. Master kicked me from behind in anger.

"Stinky boy, how can I teach you! After entering the hole, you have to start to widen the hole, or you will suffocate to death in a while! ”

Hearing Master's words, I quickly gave myself a mouthful, I actually forgot such an important process, and then quickly opened the hole not to dig in front of me, thirty or fifty shovels down, the thief hole around me is much more spacious, and the sense of oppression is not as strong as at the beginning.

I felt a little at ease, changed my posture and continued to dig forward, about a foot or so, only to hear the sound of "dang", the back seat shocked my tiger mouth numb, I thought I had dug up the stone, so I quickly dug it out with my hands, it doesn't matter, directly dig down a tomb brick!

The tomb bricks are extremely exquisite, the whole body is cyan, and there are some lines on it, it should be a stone mural or something! I was so happy to see this! Quickly turn around and shrink back and crawl out.

Crawling out of the thief hole, I habitually patted the soil on my body, in fact, it is useless, it will be dirty after a while, the master took the tomb brick in his hand and looked at it, nodded, and confirmed that it was right.

I picked up the rucksack on the ground, tied it to my chest, and said to Master.

"Master, go in vain!"
