"In this case, let Yingze practice with you in the future!"

Taizu left such a sentence, but his figure had disappeared.

"Uh-"

There were only two teenagers left in the field, one didn't know what to say, and the other was taciturn, so they had to stare at each other.

After a long time, Jing Yu scratched his head, approached Ying Ze, and stretched out a hand, "Hello, my name is Jing Yu." ”

Looking at the honest little face of the young man opposite, Ying Ze nodded and said in a low voice: "Ying Ze." ”

"Hey, hey!"

A little embarrassed, he smiled a little awkwardly, retracting his hand hanging in the air, and Jingyu didn't know what to say for a while.

"Taizu said let me carry water and chop wood with you, and you can take me there. ”

Looking at the slightly restrained young man in front of him, Ying Ze couldn't help but wonder, obviously he was a serious disciple of Taizu, and this three-star cave should be his home field, why now, he only knew how to smirk?

"Oh, okay, you come with me. ”

At this time, Jing Yu seemed to wake up from a dream, and hurriedly led Ying Ze to his usual residence.

It was just an ordinary thatched house, with several large tanks in front of the house, as well as a few pairs of flat poles and a few wooden barrels, and at a glance, three tanks were already filled with water.

"Master asks me to fill three jars of water every day, and what you have to do is fill the other empty tank. ”

"How much do you need to chop wood?"

"It's simple, there's a forest of ebony not far from here, and you only need to cut down five of them a day to complete the task. ”

Jingyu looked at Ying Ze, who was a little thin, and said with some doubts: "However, with your small body, I'm afraid you can only concentrate on completing one task every day." ”

Ying Ze didn't speak, just silently picked up the flat pole on the ground and put it on his shoulder a little awkwardly.

Seeing Ying Ze's clumsy movements, Jing Yu only felt that the distance between him and him had narrowed, and at this moment, Jing Yu suddenly felt that the young man in front of him, who looked like he didn't eat fireworks in the world, was actually not much different from him.

"You're not in the right position!"

Jingyu pinched Ying Ze's shoulders and adjusted his posture to pick up the flat burden.

Ying Ze's whole body stiffened, frowned and glanced at Jing Yu, but saw the young man's hearty smile.

"Look at you like this, I'm afraid it's not material for rough work, why don't you watch me show you today?"

"No, that's the amount of my task"

Ying Ze broke free of Jingyu's hand without a trace, picked up two wooden barrels and walked down the mountain.

Jingyu blinked, scratched his head, and didn't know what to say, so he had to follow unhurriedly behind.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, Yingze is from a noble background, and when he goes out, he is hugged before and after, walking on the mottled bluestone steps, and from time to time he will stumble, looking unstable.

"Hey, your eyes have to see the road!"

"Hey, don't always use one shoulder to pick it up!

Ying Ze was already embarrassed with the flat burden, and his heart was irritable, but Jingyu was still making noise behind him, he was annoyed, stopped at once, turned his head, and said coldly: "Can you stop talking?"

Jingyu was stunned, and his feet that were about to go down the steps were hanging in the air, a little at a loss.

Ying Ze didn't care about him, and then walked down the mountain, and walked for a while, his left shoulder was really sore, he couldn't help but remember what Jingyu said, and moved the flat shoulder to his right shoulder.

Hey, it's a lot lighter!

Ying Ze secretly glanced at Jingyu behind him, and saw him bowing his head and honestly going down the steps, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After walking for a long time, both shoulders were tired, and this mountain road really came to an end.

Looking at the fork in the road in front of him, Ying Ze stopped, and Jingyu in the back almost hit the flat head.

The two teenagers looked at each other again, but no one spoke to break the deadlock.

"Hey, where are you going now?"

Ying Ze asked in the end.

"Huh?"

Jingyu came back to his senses and was about to answer, but he heard Ying Ze continue: "Why don't you speak?"

"Didn't you tell me not to talk?"

"I ......"

Ying Ze was speechless for a while, so he had to turn his back and not speak.

"If you carry water, go to the right, and if you go down the mountain, go to the left. ”

Hearing this, Ying Ze actually felt a sense of relief, and hurriedly walked to the path on the right.

I finally got to the ancient well where I was pumping water, and finally filled the two wooden barrels with water. Ying Ze finally picked up the flat shoulder again and hit the road.

After filling with water, the weight on Ying Ze's shoulders has increased a lot, he is still young, and he has not learned the immortal Taoism, and he can be regarded as pampered on weekdays, and he is still stumbling with an empty wooden barrel, let alone now?

This time, Ying Ze let Jingyu walk in front, maybe because he could already imagine his embarrassed appearance, so he didn't want Jingyu to see it?

The road up the mountain is really long! Yingze, who was carrying two buckets of water, only felt as if his shoulders were about to break, and his whole body couldn't maintain balance at all, and every step up the steps was extremely difficult.

Jing Yu, who was walking in front, looked back at Jing Yu from time to time, and wanted to offer help several times, but he was afraid of hurting Ying Ze's self-esteem.

"Hey, why don't I help you?"

Jing Yu couldn't see it in the end, suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Ying Ze.

Unexpectedly, Ying Ze was frightened by his sudden words, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell down the steps and rolled down.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Jing Yu couldn't care much for a while, jumped out, hugged Ying Ze tightly, and the two rolled up on the steps together.

I don't know how many steps I rolled, Jing Yu finally seized the opportunity to pull the old tree root next to the stone steps, and then stopped, avoiding the end of rolling directly to the bottom of the mountain.

"Are you alright?"

Jing Yu, who finally stood up, didn't care about the injuries on his body, and hurriedly asked Ying Ze.

Ying Ze, who pinched his shoulder, shook his head, but the bottom of his heart couldn't help but appear that the two of them hugged each other tightly just now, and rolling down the steps was a picture, how to say it?

Thanks to Jingyu, he didn't press on him and asked him, "Are you okay?"

Otherwise, Ying Ze really doesn't know how to face his pure gaze, since Ying Ze has a memory, he and his mother live in a huge palace, and it is rare to see his father in the first year, since the death of his mother, his temperament has become more and more withdrawn, these years, he has never been like Jing Yu, and he pinched his shoulders and hugged him.

As soon as he thought of this, Ying Ze suddenly felt that there was something strange about Jingyu in his heart.

"It's getting dark now, so let me carry water for you, right?"

Looking at the sun, Jingyu scratched his head, but still said this.

Ying Ze glanced at the water that had been splashed clean, and he couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, and he just didn't say anything about Jingyu's proposal.

"Don't be stubborn! It's a big deal that you owe me, how about it? When you can do it in the future, you can pay me back!"

Ying Ze glanced at Jing Yu and looked at Jing Yu a little embarrassed, "After all, if I hadn't talked to you suddenly, you wouldn't have rolled down the steps." ”

Hearing Jingyu mention this again, Ying Ze couldn't help but turn his face sideways, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Okay, I owe you." ”

"Okay!"

With Ying Ze's approval, Jingyu hurriedly picked up the flat pole and wooden barrel, walked down the mountain quickly, and once again rushed to the ancient well to fill it with water, and walked steadily towards the mountain.

Standing behind Jing Yu, looking at Jing Yu's easy and skillful posture, Ying Ze couldn't help but be in a trance, how can he be so different at the same age?

"Carrying water is also skillful, you have to learn to throw the flat shoulder up and down between the ups and downs of each step, and then fall again, only in this way can you be handy, relying on brute force alone, you can't maintain balance, not to mention, at night you can have it!"

While Jingyu walked up the mountain, he also taught Ying Ze that he had picked up the experience of carrying water over the past few months, and he was very comfortable.

Ying Ze listened carefully and silently wrote down these points in his heart.

If you want to fill a water tank, you need at least ten buckets of water, and if you want to complete the amount of tasks specified by Taizu, it will take at least fifteen round-trips.

"In fact, in the final analysis, I eat well, the fifth senior brother is specially in charge of our diet, although the taste of the dishes he makes is average, but the raw materials are rare, eating it will make you grow strength, otherwise I would not be able to adapt to life here in just a few months. ”

Doubling down on tasks is also a great burden for Jingyu, who spends half a day carrying water and chopping firewood, and half a day for meditation and practice.

Although Taizu did not pass on his serious practice scriptures, he taught him a "mind and calm qi technique", which allowed him to meditate and eliminate fatigue.

"Whew-"

Looking at the five ebony trees that had been cut down in front of him, Jing Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, but when he saw that the sky was already dark, and even the stars began to rise, his face changed again.

"Hurry! Hurry up! Now that Bacheng should have no food to eat at this time, we must find him to ask for something to eat before Senior Brother Eighth leaves, otherwise we will have to starve to death!"

Jingyu's first few days on the mountain were not much better than Yingze's situation, at first he couldn't complete the task and had no food, and then he couldn't complete the task on time, or he didn't have anything to eat.

Thanks to the greedy Eighth Senior Brother, who always secretly fires himself to make supper, Jingyu can also follow the Eighth Senior Brother a little, otherwise he may starve to death.

Jingyu took Yingze's hand and rushed to the restaurant, and sure enough, he saw a man in a Taoist robe eating dumplings.

According to what the little ghost said, at that time, he had not yet dissipated his qi, he was still dignified, and he looked like a jade style, and he was a beautiful person like His Royal Highness the Nine, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw him, and even sighed to himself.

Of course, these are no longer examinable, and he should be the one who is messing around.

"Alas, Lao Jiu, aren't you already able to complete the task on time? Why did you come to rub my brother's supper again today, and bring a little tail. ”

"Eighth Senior Brother, Ying Ze is designated by the master to follow me to do the task, he is a novice, so he will naturally be later. ”

Jingyu smiled at the little ghost, and snatched the plate of dumplings in front of the little ghost.

"Hey, hey, leave me some!"

"Haha! Thank you, Senior Brother, for the gift!"

Jingyu pulled Yingze to trot for a while, and found a place where no one was there before preparing to eat dumplings with him.

"Fifth Senior Brother is very strict, if he finds out that the two of us didn't complete the task on time and dare to eat supper, there will definitely be a scolding!"

Jingyu found a place to sit down at random, patted the open space beside him, and motioned for Ying Ze to sit down as well.

Ying Ze looked at the ground and didn't speak for a long time.
