Chapter Seventy-Three: The Great Apprentice

The mage's team rested at the base of the mountain for a while and then began to climb the mountain.

The dementia mage was in front, Zhen'er followed closely behind him, and then Zhen'er was Wang Fan holding Ah Hu, Kapok Zi, Yama, and Shanglin behind the palace.

The majestic Mille-Feuille Ridge had not yet climbed a tenth of the way, and the team had already distanced itself. The demented mage and Zhen'er were high up, Wang Fan and Ah Hu were chasing bravely in the middle, and the other three were struggling to climb below.

When Wang Fan pulled Ah Hu to the top of the mountain, the demented mage and Zhen'er were already sitting on the stone slab to rest. The four of them waited for a long time, and Shanglin and Ama "Whoop!" Whew! "Climbed to the top of the mountain and sat on the ground, and finally Kapok jumped up and pounced on the ground with his hands and feet and gasped for breath.

"I'm tired!" Amma gasped.

"Hey...... demented mage" The demented mage laughed loudly, and the laughter startled a flock of birds eating wild fruit on a fruit tree overhead.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now you were worried that this mage would not be able to climb the mountain, and now this mage is worried that you will not be able to go to the Blue Mist Mountain."

Shang Lin gasped and said, "Mage, we think that you are so strong because you have eaten the magic medicine of the Blue Mist Mountain. ”

"Hehe...... "The demented mage laughed again, "The magic medicine sent by the photosynthetic pharmacist is only fortunate enough for this mage to taste one bite, and the magic medicine has been eaten by the master of this mage." ”

"Why?" The boys were amazed, all they could imagine was that the elixir of the demented mage had been stolen by a bold apprentice.

The demented mage smiled: "That's the case, since finding the transformation in the Blue Misty Mountain, this mage decided to take a few apprentices to plant and study herbs in Wuling Village. The first apprentice this master accepted was named Haidong, the son of a small shopkeeper in Yelang Town. This child has been active since he was a child, and likes to play with sticks and sticks, and his parents are both understanding people, knowing that their son will not be at ease as a small shopkeeper in the future. When he heard that the master was going to take in his apprentices, he immediately sent Haidong to the door, who was already eleven years old that year.

Haidong arrived in Wulingzhuang for half a year, and accidentally fell from the cliff to the bottom of the valley when he went up the mountain to collect medicinal seeds. It was that jar of magic medicine that saved his life! The Master fed him the magic medicine every day and then used ordinary herbs to heal his wounds, and after a month passed, the magic medicine was eaten, and Haidong also came back to life.

And later, his health was surprisingly good, and he entered the palace compound of the King of Tianling as a guard after learning swords from Master Ben in Wulingzhuang for five years. Because he was physically strong, loyal, and swordsmanship, he was reused by the King of Tianling at a young age and became one of the most important guards around the King of Tianling. Although this mage has only eaten a mouthful of the magic medicine of the Blue Misty Mountain, this mage and his apprentices eat the flowers and plants they have planted every day, so they are old and strong. ”

The demented mage said as he opened the jug and took a sip of wine.

The kapok lying on the ground smelled the wine and wanted to drink some wine, but when he saw the dirty wine jug in the hand of the demented mage, he had no choice but to dispel the idea of drinking. But the smell of wine caused a "gurgling!" in the stomach. Grunt! Screaming, hunger immediately came to his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "Master, you just said that there is mountain delicacies and game on the top of the mountain, where is it?" ”

The dementia mage stood up and pointed to the lush vegetation in a low-lying valley in front of him and said, "It's in this crater!" Who would like to go with this master to the mountain god's mouth to grab some food? ”

Wang Fan stood up and volunteered: "I'll go!" ”

The demented mage laughed, "Hey! Although this flat-faced little guest is the smallest among all the distinguished guests, he climbs the mountain the fastest. ”

Wang Fan followed the demented mage into the crater.

Jane saw a fruit tree growing on the hillside by the road, and many red fruits hung from the canopy, and she was immediately attracted to those beautiful fruits. After walking so many mountain roads, she felt thirsty and hungry.

"I'm going to pick wild fruits and eat them!" Jen'er said as she ran up the hill.

Shanglin hurriedly shouted, "Hey, Zhen'er, those red fruits may not be edible!" ”

Jane'er: "Rub it! He climbed up a fruit tree and shouted, "I just saw a lot of birds eating fruit from the tree!" Didn't you say that as long as animals eat the fruit, people can eat it! After saying that, she picked a red fruit with her two front paws and couldn't wait to take a bite, tasted it for a while and shouted, "Hey, the fruit is very sweet and delicious!" Why don't you hurry up the tree and eat? ”

Kapok raised her face and shouted, "Hey! Zhen'er, we don't have the strength to climb the tree, please bring me some red fruits to eat! ”

Jen'er was eating the fruit on the tree and muttered indistinctly, "Okay, when I'm full, I'll have the strength to pick a few for you." However, the kapok seeds are so big that even if they eat the fruit of this tree, they may not be full. ”

Ama smiled: "Zhen'er, you are small, eat a few fruits and you will be full!" ”

Kapok and Kabayashi laughed.

Kapok Zi waited patiently for ten minutes without waiting for Zhen'er to deliver the fruit, only to see that Zhen'er was still eating the red fruit arrogantly, and he was just about to open his mouth to urge Zhen'er, when he saw Wang Fan and the demented mage each holding a bunch of plants and fruits out of the crater.

The demented mage saw Zhen'er, who was still eating the red fruit on the fruit tree, and shouted, "Hey! Princess, although the fruit is delicious, you will get angry if you eat it! Come down and try these exotic flowers and plants of this mage! ”

Zhen'er smashed her mouth and responded, "Mage, I'm not angry! I'm full, kapok, Shanglin, Ama, do you want this red fruit? ”

Kapok shook his head and said, "Zhen'er, the mage said that eating that thing will make you angry, we don't want to be angry, you come down!" ”

The dementia mage first introduced his guests to the many benefits of the food he had gathered, whetting the audience's appetite and encouraging them to taste it.

The four young guests each picked one and ate it, only Ah Hu sat in the distance and looked at the gloomy sky in a daze. The dementia mage took a large green fruit and said to him, "Hey, this distinguished guest is strange by nature, and seems to be a little sullen, taste this fairy fruit, and any troubles will disappear in your stomach." ”

Ah Hu looked at the demented mage with a serious face and said, "Mage, thank you for your care, but I don't eat any plants!" ”

Kapok Zi ate grass in his mouth and said vaguely: "Master, Ah Hu is a sunshine person, he just needs to eat the sun's rays!" ”

"What sunshine man?" The demented mage looked back and asked in surprise.

"Hey, mage, the Sunshine Man is intelligent...... Belch! Belch! Jen'er opened her mouth and a fruity gas emanated from her stomach.

The demented mage said, "Hey! Princess, you're starting to get angry! ”

The crowd laughed.

After eating the delicacies of the mountains, everyone felt refreshed, and the demented mage took his distinguished guests on the journey again.

Kapok said solemnly as she walked: "Master, although the weeds are healthy, but they can't eat enough, I have to find a country inn with good food and drink tonight, otherwise I won't have the strength to walk tomorrow, let alone climb the Blue Fog Mountain." ”

Ama immediately added: "Yes, Master, this is the first time we have climbed so many mountains, we have to eat enough tonight and sleep well, so that we can walk tomorrow."

The demented mage looked at the already dark sky and said, "Not far ahead is Pingzhuang, where we will stay tonight." This mage has long heard of a famous dish in that area, and he didn't dare to ask if he had no money in the past, but now that the king of Guhe has sent so much gold, this mage wants to taste it with all your distinguished guests tonight. ”

As soon as they heard that there were delicious dishes, the tired spirits of the young guests were lifted, and the steps under their feet immediately became brisk.
