Chapter 617: Finding the Foot
I nodded, I didn't want to continue talking, I had been trekking hard for the past two days, and I often kept vigil alone, and now I was very tired, and I just wanted to warm up and get a good night's sleep.
But Huang Yuzhong opened the conversation, and without me asking, he said to himself: "Like you, you can only be regarded as a junior in the industry, your reputation is not obvious, and you haven't defeated many famous masters, and the Sanqing Club can't give you a rating directly." ”
Li Huaishan, who was on the other side of the fire pit, suddenly frowned: "Huh? What do you mean, we're going to be in vain? ”
Huang Yuzhong ignored him, and then said to me: "Junior rating, you must first go to the Nine Dragons Caves, can come out of that place, generally can be rated first-class, but the Nine Dragons Caves are difficult and dangerous, most people can't bear it halfway, my second uncle came to participate in the spring evaluation of the year, there are more than 50 juniors into the Nine Dragons Caves, the farthest one, also defeated in the eighth cave, and then that person was rated in the upper middle, that is, the second-rate upstream, at this level, in the junior is already very powerful, three or four years can not produce a such. ”
Li Huaishan rolled his eyes: "Don't make trouble, just Zhang Dayou can be rated as second-rate." ”
Huang Yuzhong said: "Second-rate and second-rate are not the same, I think Zhang Dayou's cultivation is a middle and lower, like him, let's catch a lot of them in our business." There may be very few people in the middle rank, and even fewer people in the middle and upper middle, and the juniors who can be rated as first-class, that is, a few disciples of famous families, others don't have to think about it. ”
Just when he said this, I remembered Zuo Youdao again, so I asked him: "Jisoul Village is not a big sect, isn't Zuo Youdao also first-class?" ”
I heard Huang Yuzhong say: "Actually, Zuo Youdao is no longer rated with juniors, but because he is a benchmark figure of the young Zhuang generation, he has left him a position of Tianzi No. 1." But I have to say, that guy is really powerful, he is now rated with the elders in the industry, and he is also the top handful in the first-class. ”
I asked him, "Have you seen Zuo Youdao?" ”
Huang Yuzhong only said "I have seen it once", and then twisted his face to the side, as if he was unwilling to mention too many things related to Zuo Youdao.
I can understand that he would have such a reaction, after all, before he came to the house, he had also suffered under Zuo Youdao's hands.
Then I asked him, "What kind of place is Kowloon Cave?" ”
Huang Yuzhong became a little energetic at this time, and then said to me: "My second uncle has never been in, and he doesn't know what it's like inside." However, I heard him say that if there is more than one person who can get out of the Nine Dragons Cave in the spring evaluation of one year, these people will have to fight each other, and only the one who wins in the end can be rated as first-class. ”
Li Huaishan couldn't help but complain: "Why are there such unreasonable rules? If the strength of several people is about the same, will the defeated people also be reduced to second-rate? ”
Huang Yuzhong said: "You don't understand this. Because everyone knows that the road to the Kowloon Caves is difficult, some people will find a companion among the other participants in order to win. The so-called same foot, that is, two people support each other and rely on the strength of the two to overcome the hardships and dangers on the way. In this way, it is easy to have a large gap in the strength of the pairs, and there have been top masters on the road with burdens in the past, and in the end, both of them were rated as first-class. It is also in order to prevent this situation from happening again, and the Three Youth Association set up a ring behind the Nine Dragon Caves, with the help of martial arts competitions to remove the inferior and retain the superior. ”
I rubbed my forehead helplessly: "This kind of rating method is really not an ordinary old-fashioned way." ”
Huang Yuzhong was also very helpless: "But there is no way to be old-fashioned, after all, it is a rule set by the Three Youth Association, and those who participate in the spring review have to abide by it if they don't want to abide by it." But now is not the time to say that, in my opinion, you had better go out tomorrow and find a decent companion. ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and I immediately got up and opened the door, and I saw two Sanqing envoys standing outside the door, just like the messengers who appeared before, their clothes, skin color, hairstyle, or figure, there was not much difference, only the facial features were slightly different.
Without my permission, the two men squeezed into the room, put a few large plates on the floor, and quickly left.
They came to deliver dinner, and I really didn't expect that a non-profit organization like the Three Youth Associations would actually provide meals to the participants.
I closed the door and quickly swept the dishes on the floor, a plate of stew, a large bowl of soup, and two servings of greens, each large enough to eat four or five people.
Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong were already hungry, and they couldn't even wash their hands before they quickly went up to eat.
I was still a little more careful than the two of them, and I sniffed the food before I moved my mouth.
The smell really scared me, not to mention anything else, the herbal smell in the beef broth alone was very wrong.
Huang Yuzhong seemed to see my doubts, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, and said to me: "The first meal served by the Three Youth Associations for the participants will put some soothing herbs. According to my second uncle, they were afraid that those who had trekked all the way would be too excited or too nervous, and they would not be able to sleep normally that night and would burn their bodies. ”
Seeing that his mouth was full of oil, I smiled helplessly and picked up my chopsticks.
The three of us were hungry and cold, and our appetites were completely liberated, and the amount of food that was originally enough for four or five people was eaten by us, and Huang Yuzhong even licked up all the remaining oil in the soup bowl.
After eating, the medicinal power quickly took effect, and as soon as Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong felt sleepy, they hurried to go to bed to rest.
These medicines didn't have any effect on me, and when the two of them fell asleep, I locked the doors and windows first, and then went back to the bed, and collected the yin qi from the Netherworld Tongbao to strengthen my physique and cultivation.
Practicing together, being diligent and devastated in drama, being lazy for a day, and retreating for thousands of miles.
This is what the third master said when he passed on my five buckets of rice array, and I still dare not forget it.
I retracted the yin qi several times in a row, and it was not until I was too sleepy to bear it that I lay down to rest.
I remember that when I closed my eyes that day, the last thing I saw through my eyes was the figure of the big black and the hammer.
In fact, I don't know, whether they follow along the way, sometimes they are like this, as if they have always been by my side, and they seem to disappear from time to time for a while, I am used to it.
Anyway, as long as they're all there.
It's good to be all there......
I was so tired that I lost consciousness almost as soon as I closed my eyes.
This night's dream, as in the past, the blue sky hill sun tomb, when I saw this, I also knew that I was dreaming, and at the same time, I also knew that the location I am in now is actually in the depths of the snow-capped mountains.
It was a strange feeling, like a snow-capped mountain and a desert in one place at the same time, and a strong wind rose and rose with the wind, with cold snow and scorching sand.
When I woke up, it was already past six o'clock in the morning, but the blackness in the snowy mountains had not yet dispersed.
I glanced out of the gray window, and when I looked back, I saw Xiao Hei holding a hammer, sleeping in the corner of my bed, and Da Hei lying at the head of the bed, snoring on his chest.
I got out of bed, gently hugged the quilt together, and hugged the big and small black and the hammer to the soft quilt, Xiao Hei opened his eyes for a moment, and soon hugged the hammer tightly again, and fell asleep.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and I could tell from the footsteps that it was the two messengers who had delivered food yesterday.
In order not to wake up the others, I gently pulled the door open without waiting for the other party to knock.
The two messengers were surprised to see that I was awake, but they did not say anything, but quickly entered the house, took away the plates and bowls of the previous night, put down their breakfast, and left quickly.
When the bowl was collected, Huang Yuzhong was awakened by the sound of the bowl colliding, and he sat up from the bed with a "whirl", looking at the messenger with sleepy eyes.
Li Huaishan was also disturbed, but he just rolled over and didn't wake up. When he turned over, because the movement was too big, the pillows were rubbed under the bed by him.
I closed the door, walked quickly to Li Huaishan's bedside, picked up the pillow, carefully adjusted his neck, and let his head slowly press against the pillow.
Huang Yuzhong rubbed his hair vigorously and got out of bed.
I whispered to him through the fire pit, "Don't sleep any longer?" ”
Huang Yuzhong smiled: "I can't sleep, I have to go out with you today to find my feet." Hehe, I also want to see what kind of person you are looking for. ”
With that, he put on his shoes and ran outside to wash.
I smelled the breakfast sent by the messenger, today's meal is not medicated, the taste is very positive, and it can be seen that the Sanqing Society has raised a good cook.
Compared with dinner, the breakfast served by the Sanqing Club is not large, and I am afraid that I will not be able to control my appetite, so before eating, I will leave Li Huaishan's share.
This guy is really tired, I don't know what time it will be up today, considering that he is very lazy, even if the food is cold, he doesn't want to heat it, so I put the food in the pot first, and then from the clean blanket in the backpack, the pot is wrapped in layers to keep warm.
After cleaning up, I pressed a note on the blanket and told Li Huaishan, "This is breakfast."
It happened that this scene was seen by Huang Yuzhong, who entered the house, and Huang Yuzhong smiled at me, but didn't say anything.
After breakfast, Huang Yuzhong and I set off.
I thought it was still early, and there were not many people on the road, but I didn't expect that not long after we went out, all kinds of pedestrians gradually appeared on the path in the valley.
The Three Youth Associations should serve breakfast to everyone at the same time, and everyone comes out after eating.
Some of these people wore Taoist robes, and the occasional monk in a robe could be seen, but most of them were still dressed in casual clothes, like me and Huang Yuzhong.
Walking on the road, I suddenly had an illusion, I only felt that these people who came to participate in the spring review seemed to know each other, and I often saw them asking each other for morning along the way, and sometimes two people met and would make fun of each other.
It was only me and Huang Yuzhong who didn't care, we never greeted others, and the people around us didn't look at us when they walked past us.
By the way, in this place, I can't sense the mental power of these people, let alone see through other people's cultivation, I can't see through others, and others naturally can't see through the depth of my cultivation.
