"You can't be clean, are you?"

Jingyu saw that Yingze didn't sit for a long time, and remembered that he had heard people say before that those sons and brothers in high-ranking families had a disease called "cleanliness", and they couldn't help but get a little dirty on their bodies.

Jing Yu put down the plate in his hand, thought about it, took off his robe and spread it on the ground, and then grinned at Ying Ze, "You can sit now, right?"

Ying Ze was embarrassed by Jingyu like this, and sat down next to him with a red face.

"Come on, let's eat, Senior Brother Eight's cooking skills are much better than Senior Brother Five!"

Jingyu handed the plate to Ying Ze, and suddenly patted his head, "Oops! I forgot to find the eighth senior brother to get chopsticks!"

Jingyu stuffed the plate into Yingze's hand, stood up, and said to him: "I'll go back and get the chopsticks now, you wait for me, I'll take two plates of vinegar in the restaurant by the way, it's best to dip the dumplings!"

After speaking, Jingyu turned to leave, looking at the young man's sturdy back, Yingze's eyes flashed with some kind of obscure brilliance, making his whole person look more and more profound and mysterious in the night.

Jing Yu, who secretly ran back to the restaurant, saw a person standing there, thinking that the eighth senior brother hadn't left yet, so he ran forward and said hello, "Hey!

The man turned around when he heard the movement, and Jing Yu saw that it was actually the fifth senior brother who was so strict on weekdays that he didn't smile!

"Five, fifth senior brother, it's so late, why are you here?"

Jing Yu glanced at the fifth senior brother with some humility, and asked a little stumblingly.

"I heard that you are covered in injuries, so I am going to send you some ointment. ”

"Huh?"

This time it was Jingyu's turn to be surprised, he knew that the fifth senior brother not only cooks but also makes medicines, and this restaurant is actually a medicine hall, but, it's just, shouldn't the fifth senior brother be punished for him?

"Okay, it's getting late, eat the dumplings of the eighth child, go to bed early after taking the medicine, if you can't complete the task tomorrow, one of the two of you will definitely starve!"

Listening to the words of the fifth senior brother who seemed to be stern but actually implied concern, Jingyu's heart warmed, nodded again and again, and waited until he was sent away, and then ran into the restaurant to get two pairs of chopsticks and two dishes of vinegar, and then ran back to Yingze.

"Oh, let's eat it!"

Jingyu handed all the chopsticks and vinegar to Yingze, sat down and stuffed a dumpling into his mouth.

Although such a plate of dumplings is not enough for two people to eat, Yingze eats very little, saying that Jingyu has done all the work, and he should eat more.

When the two returned to the room after eating, Jing Yu remembered that this house was temporarily built for him by Senior Brother Seven, and there was only one bed in total.

"Or do I sleep on the ground?"

Jingyu thought about it, there was really no good way.

"Let's take the medicine first, I see you're seriously injured. ”

Ying Ze didn't dwell on this problem, but was quite concerned about Jingyu's injury, he protected him like that and rolled down the steps, and then picked up water and chopped wood, and the wounds were probably cracked.

"I'm out of the way. ”

Jingyu scratched his head, and after Yingze mentioned this, he felt that it was indeed a little painful.

"Take off your clothes, I'll give you the medicine. ”

Ying Ze took the ointment from Jing Yu's hand and said to Jing Yu.

"No, I can reach it myself. ”

"How is this possible? Even if you can reach it, how can it compare to how well I can give you medicine?"

Jingyu blinked, lowered his head and unbuttoned the clothes on his body, took off his shirt, and showed his wheat-colored muscles, and a youthful breath spread in the hut.

Ying Ze was stunned, but he didn't say much, he picked up the medicine and wiped it off his wound, this ointment was not as pungent as the ointment next to him, but only had the refreshing smell of grass and trees.

"Shhhh

As soon as Ying Ze gave Jingyu medicine, Jingyu immediately grinned in pain, and the ointment given by the fifth senior brother was quite strong, and the wound was as if it was burning.

"Bear with it, since there is a reaction, it means that this medicine is excellent. ”

Ying Ze saw that Jingyu was a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but pursed his lips and blew lightly for him, the lights on the table were like beans, and there was a different kind of warmth rippling in the room.

At night, Ying Ze let Jingyu sleep on the bed on the grounds that he was injured, and he slept on the ground with a layer of quilts at will.

Jing Yu thought that he was extremely tired, and after a while, Ying Ze heard the sound of his extremely even breathing.

But Yingze couldn't sleep, first, he was not used to it, and second, he was a little confused and dazed about the future.

His mother is a mortal, occasionally with the emperor of the mortal world, after a night of spring breeze, the pearl womb secretly gave birth to him, so although he is the emperor's son, but among many brothers is the least powerful one.

His mother was originally a mortal, and she died early, he was alone, where would he be better off in the Nine Heavens?

This time he was sent to Taizu to study art, and he really couldn't guess his emperor's thoughts.

After thinking about it for a long time and no result, Ying Ze turned over and looked at Jingyu who was sleeping on the bed, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

The next day, Jingyu and Yingze got up and still went to fetch water and chop wood, this day, they started early, Jingyu had enough time to teach Yingze the skills of carrying water.

Ying Ze is also smart, under the guidance of Jingyu, he quickly mastered the key to "one volt together, one rise and one fall" when carrying water, plus he grew up in the heavenly palace since he was a child, although his body looks thinner, but the foundation is not comparable to Jingyu, a halfway monk. Yes, the speed of his progress is simply shocking to Jingyu.

However, although Yingze made rapid progress in carrying water, he encountered difficulties in chopping wood.

It turned out that although Taizu stipulated that only five ebony trees should be cut down every day, this ebony had a great origin.

This ebony is a variant of ebony wood, and the rumored ebony is a rare sacred tree.

Legend has it that this sacred tree has a dragon wrapped around it, and because of the dragon's entanglement, this tree grows extremely slowly, and because of this, this wood is tight and is a good wood.

And Taizu got a black Jiao wood out of nowhere, and thought of a way to cultivate "ebony", although the quality of this wood is not as good as that of black Jiaomu, but the growth cycle is much shorter than that of black Jiaomu.

But ebony is a variant of the sacred wood, and it has a spiritual rhyme in it, so this seemingly simple tree cutting is actually another mystery.

This wood is hard and difficult to cut is only one of the points, more importantly, this ebony has a characteristic, if you don't use enough strength to leave traces on this ebony, then the ebony will all the force you use to shock back, so that the palm blistered, not to mention, the tiger's mouth is also easy to be cracked.

And if they use too much force, the axes in their hands are only ordinary axes, and they can easily be damaged, and they can only receive three axes a day, so it is obvious that brute force will not work.

Ying Ze suffered precisely in this regard, and he was always unable to accurately grasp that delicate balance.

Seeing that Ying Ze was helpless about chopping wood, Jing Yu felt normal, after all, it took him more than ten days to master the way to deal with this ebony, if Ying Ze could achieve something at once, where could he put his face?

However, he still tried his best to teach Ying Ze how to chop wood, but this matter was indeed quite difficult, and Ying Ze couldn't grasp it all for a while.

When Jingyu offered to help, Ying Ze sternly refused, he came to learn art, if everything was done to others, how could he learn the real skills?

Seeing that Ying Ze would rather be hungry than accept his help, Jing Yu felt very admired for him, and seeing that Ying Ze was a little anxious, he passed on his "Heart Cultivation and Calm Qi Technique" to Ying Ze to help him exercise his mind.

"How can this be done? This is given by Taizu, you taught it to me privately, aren't you afraid that Taizu will blame you?"

"It's not in the way, you were originally learning art under the master, and this method of cultivating the mind and calming the qi is not a subtle method, if it is passed on to you, the master will not mind. ”

Hearing Jingyu say this, Yingze was moved in his heart, and he didn't refuse again, but decided that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely repay Jingyu.

There are no years of cultivation in the mountains, and the two of them carry water and chop wood every day, but time flies.

Ying Ze has a light temperament, although the time and moon in this mountain are boring, but there is more freedom than the days in the heavenly palace, which is something that others can't insist on, but for him he is happy.

As for Jingyu, after being ordered by Taizu, he also had his own opinions on this seemingly ordinary matter of carrying water and chopping wood, and he didn't think it was a waste of time.

Besides, now that there is Yingze as a companion, this day is also free.

On this day, the two of them were called to the front of the seat by Taizu, and learned that their self-cultivation had been achieved, and they were ready to let the two of them enter the Spiegel Terrace to undergo the final test.

"Jingyu, what the hell is the Spiegel Terrace?"

Walking on the steps down the mountain, Ying Ze couldn't help but ask Jingyu.

"I don't know, but I've heard many senior brothers say that the Spiegel Terrace is an extremely difficult test, and they have suffered a lot in it. ”

Jingyu blew the broken hair on his forehead, both worried and excited about the upcoming test.

"But don't worry too much, you have to have confidence in yourself!"

Jingyu is an optimist, with his head resting on his hands, falling on the grass, squinting at the sun in the sky.

Ying Ze nodded thoughtfully and sat down next to Jingyu.

The breeze blew, Ying Ze's long hair was blown up, and Jing Yu suddenly stretched out his hand to penetrate Ying Ze's black hair.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your hair is so comfortable. ”

Jingyu sat up, leaned very close to Yingze, and looked at the face of Zhong Tiandi on the other side, and couldn't help but be a little stupid.

"Ze, you must be careful when you enter the Spiegel Terrace tomorrow, the situation inside is unknown, and we may be separated. ”

Jing Yu called Ying Ze affectionately, Ying Ze was a little distracted for a while, after getting along for so long, there was something strange between him and Jing Yu, but he didn't dare to be sure of the thoughts in his heart, and he didn't dare to rashly ask Jing Yu's thoughts.

"Yu?"

Ying Ze shouted tentatively.

"Huh?"

Jingyu leaned in again, and both of their eyelashes began to rub against each other.

"Be careful tomorrow!"

When Ying Ze said this, he immediately turned his head away, and there was a deer in his heart.

"Okay!haha!"

Jingyu's hearty laughter came from his ears, and he only felt that the sun in the sky was exceptionally bright.
