Chapter 50: Senior Brother Jiufang
"Jiufang Zhiming!" The name echoed in Xiao Feng's mind, he knew this person, but he didn't know if the other party would recognize him.
On the night of the lunar eclipse, a teacher from Kidd College led a team to explore the bottom of Mount Xijia.
Among them is Jiufang Zhiming.
When they came to Wuli Village at the foot of Xijia Mountain, they happened to encounter a fight between two groups of outsiders who came to the village.
In this fight, it was the Four Swords Gate, who was evil in the capital, relied on the advantage of the holy sword to overwhelm the other party.
At the time of great urgency, Jiufang Zhiming took the risk of stepping forward before the teacher arrived.
Use wit and courage to resolve the crisis in front of you, and fight with several other juniors to the death and delay time.
In the end, the plan of the Four Swords Gate to exterminate the other party and slaughter the whole village was stopped.
And the villagers rescued by Senior Brother Jiufang Zhiming that day were Xiaofeng and his fellow villagers.
The one who faced the battle with the Four Swords Gate was the Kepu people of Southern Xinjiang.
This Kepu people were involved in the matter of Fengze Mountain in southern Xinjiang, and this incident involved the murder of the emperor's eldest son that year, so for many years, the emperor was unanimously angry with them.
Until last year, the Kepu clan actually put down their bodies and begged for holy grace, and they came and went, which can be regarded as being forgiven.
At this time, when there was a competition for admissions, Nangong Zhengxuan that Xiaofeng saw was the candidate who had cultivated to a very good level in the fire department.
Nangong Zhengxuan is a Kepu person.
Now that Mother-in-law Gongliang asked Xiaofeng to deliver food to Senior Brother Jiufang Zhiming, Xiaofeng did not hesitate at all.
Because in his heart, he felt that Senior Brother Jiufang was a great hero and an example for him to learn, so he was extremely willing to meet this senior brother.
It's just that, according to his understanding, Senior Brother Jiufang should be the best in the academy, why didn't he come to be the champion when he was recruiting for martial arts competitions?
And their group has been working as a handyman in the canteen for almost two months, whether it is the East Building or Xilin, he has been there.
Why have you never seen Senior Brother Jiufang?
Although Xiao Feng had thought about this problem, he heard that the person waiting for the delivery of food in the back mountain was Senior Brother Jiufang, so his heart suddenly brightened.
It turned out that Senior Brother Jiufang went to the back mountain to cultivate. No wonder.
So Xiaofeng happily accepted the invitation of Gongliang's mother-in-law, and prepared to deliver food to the senior brother in the back mountain.
The mother-in-law sorted out the food she needed, packed up some necessary items, and filled a whole small cart.
Then she took out a piece of paper, and marked in detail where to turn, where to go up the mountain, etc., which was a simple map, and handed it to Xiaofeng.
So Xiaofeng happily said goodbye to her mother-in-law, explained the important tasks of the group, and prepared to leave everyone.
Before leaving, Gongliang's mother-in-law also told him that because it was already afternoon, the road was long, and Xiaofeng was still going for the first time, so it was inevitable that there would be a delay.
So let Xiaofeng stay on the mountain overnight and come back early tomorrow morning, Xiaofeng Ye agreed.
Then Xiaofeng pulled the cart full of items, accompanied by the breeze, and walked to the back mountain in a hearty mood.
This Kidd College was built in the northwest corner of the imperial capital, in the middle of the capital, covering a small area.
However, the entire capital was built on a plain south of a mountain range, so most of the north and west sides of the capital were surrounded by mountains, and there was no need to build even a strong one.
This Kidd College is in such a special location, so the so-called mountain behind the college is actually a small hill in the vast mountains.
Therefore, even if Xiaofeng had the map given by his mother-in-law, Xiaofeng still searched for a long time before finding the way out.
At the beginning, there were still senior brothers at several intersections to inquire and check, and Xiaofeng told the truth.
Later, the mountain road gradually became desolate, and there was no one to check it.
Finally, when it was almost dusk, Xiao Feng came to the halfway point of a mountain, and according to the instructions on the map, he walked up for a while to reach the place where the senior brother cultivated.
But the road up was very steep, and although Xiaofeng's wheelbarrow could barely pass, his strength was no longer enough.
Indeed, the mountain roads along the way were not very easy to walk, and he still carried this cart full of things, which was not an easy task for a cultivator like him who had not yet awakened.
However, Xiaofeng was not discouraged, he simply put down the small car, then picked up a bag of food and walked up.
Xiao Feng thought in his heart, he was about to see Senior Brother Jiufang, I don't know if he would recognize him, but it doesn't matter if he recognizes him, he thinks that people like Senior Brother are really heroes and heroes, and they will not be unfavorable to him.
Just as he was thinking, Xiaofeng saw a wide area in front of him, and there was a cave right behind him.
There is also a stone tablet in front of the cave, and the stone tablet is engraved with a few words, because the sky is dark, Xiaofeng did not see what the words are.
But no matter what the word is, this is definitely the place where the senior brother cultivates.
Otherwise, in this inaccessible place, will there be someone else living there?
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng shouted happily: "Senior Brother Jiufang, I'm here to bring you food!
Xiaofeng shouted excitedly, and while walking forward, he saw a young man running out of the cave, who was slightly thin but slightly thin, with sword eyebrows and handsome eyes, and a heroic spirit that could not be hidden.
It is Jiufang Zhiming.
Xiao Feng looked at him and shouted happily: "Senior Brother Jiufang, hello, I'm here to bring you food! The car is underneath, I really can't push it......"
Xiao Feng walked forward while panting, but looked at Jiufang Zhiming looking at him in a daze, looking a little sluggish and even lonely.
Xiao Feng was a little surprised by Senior Brother Jiufang's reaction, and thought: Why did I bring him food, and he was still a little lost?
Just thinking about it, when Xiaofeng was about to put down the food in his hand, he inadvertently saw the three words on the stone tablet: Siguo Cliff.
Thinking about the cliff?!
What's going on? Xiao Feng felt inexplicable in his heart.
At this time, his mind was racing rapidly, trying to figure out what was going on: no wonder Senior Brother Jiufang was a little embarrassed when he saw him, because he was punished here, but why?
Although there was a blank on this matter, Xiao Feng deliberately diverted the topic, not wanting to be so embarrassed, so he put down the bag in his hand and said, "Senior brother, wait first, there are still things below, I'll move them over!"
With that, Xiaofeng hurriedly ran down the mountain. Only Jiufang Zhiming was left standing in place stunned.
Because there are still many goods, Xiaofeng has moved up and down two more times, and he has not finished moving.
When he got to the back, Senior Brother Jiufang saw that he was working very hard, and he also came down to help carry things.
It's just that during the whole process, the senior brother didn't speak.
The whole process was speechless, this blank made Xiao Feng feel very awkward, but looking at the gloomy face of Senior Brother Jiufang, he was obviously not in the mood to communicate with others, so Xiao Feng didn't dare to speak.
Finally everything was brought up.
It was already dark.
Xiao Feng stood at the mouth of the cave in a daze, and Jiufang Zhiming glanced at him blankly, obviously because he hadn't left yet.
Xiaofeng hurriedly explained: "Oh...... Oh...... When I came, my mother-in-law instructed me that I could spend the night on the mountain tonight and go back tomorrow morning!"
"Oh, okay then!" the senior brother listened, just nodded, without any expression.
Xiao Feng saw that his senior brother picked up an axe next to the clearing and began to chop wood, preparing to make a fire, so he hurriedly ran over to help.
After a long period of work, I finally lit the bonfire, set up the pot, and cooked the food.
Senior Brother Jiufang turned his back to the bonfire alone, looked down the mountain, and said nothing.
Xiao Feng looked at the back of Senior Brother Jiufang, and inexplicably felt that the back was so lonely and sad.
This is completely different from the impression of the big hero at the foot of Xijia Mountain.
For a while, although he didn't know what was going on, Xiaofeng still felt a little sorry for this senior.
Seeing that the cooked rice was ready to eat, Xiao Feng prepared the dinner, and then said respectfully: "Senior brother, dinner has been prepared, let's start eating!"
Jiufang Zhiming exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to relieve all the depression, then turned around, walked over, and said briskly: "Okay, start eating!"
Xiao Feng saw that his senior brother was in a better mood, and while serving dinner, he persuaded him: "Hey, that's right, senior brother, what's not to think about!
The senior brother smiled bitterly, sat down on the ground and began to eat.
Xiao Wei relieved the embarrassing atmosphere and said, "Senior brother, if there is anything, you can say it, it's good to say it!"
Senior Brother Jiufang listened and glanced at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng saw a shining bonfire dancing in his eyes, as if he was struggling inside.
Senior Brother Jiufang smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, it's actually nothing! Today I thought it would be Pingning Feng or Kunwu Xiaoyu coming over, and at the same time bringing Master's letter." ”
"Letter, what letter?" asked Xiaofeng.
"It is a letter of pardon, and a disciple who is thinking about the cliff has the opportunity to apply for a pardon from the deacon hall every three months, and his master is usually responsible for applying for it.
Only after obtaining a letter of pardon can you leave the cliff, otherwise you will have to stay for another three months, until the end of one year. Senior Brother Jiufang said.
Xiao Feng suddenly understood, and understood why Senior Brother Jiufang was so disappointed when he saw him. for he brought no faith.
He thought about it again, no wonder he didn't come to deliver food to Senior Brother Jiufang today, it turned out that the two seniors mentioned by Senior Brother didn't have a letter of pardon, so he couldn't bear to come to see him......
For a while, Xiao Feng felt a little distressed in his heart.
"Senior brother, how long have you been here?" Xiao Feng wanted to find another topic.
"It's been nine months!" Senior Brother Jiufang said expressionlessly.
Xiaofeng listened to it and regretted asking such a thing.
But looking at Senior Brother Jiufang's lost eyes, dissatisfaction rose in his heart, and he said indignantly: "What kind of thing is it that makes them so ruthless, they want to lock you up here for so long!"
Senior Brother Jiufang shook his head and said, "Don't blame others, it's my own bad behavior, when I traveled abroad, I caused a big disaster, I thought about it, and it should be!"
Xiao Feng saw Senior Brother Jiufang's forbearance, and felt even more sorry for him, and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
Suddenly, Xiao Feng thought of what Senior Brother Jiufang said just now, he had been punished, and he had been thinking about it for nine months.
Nine months?!
Wasn't that the time of last year's Higa vision?
Could it be that Senior Brother Jiufang was punished because he blocked the Four Swords Gate at the foot of Xijia Mountain?
So Xiao Feng asked tentatively, "Senior brother, you said that you were punished because you traveled outside and got into trouble, right?"
Jiufang Zhiming nodded.
Xiaofeng asked again: "Then do you regret it? If you didn't get into trouble at the beginning, you won't be punished now!"
When Jiufang Zhiming heard this, his heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at Xiaofeng, and his thoughts rolled.
But immediately, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to regret, someone stopped him at the beginning and let himself not be strong, but there are some things that you have to do, do you understand?"
Xiao Feng nodded, and was even more sure that the other party was implicated because of the matter under Xijia Mountain, so he encouraged and said: "Well, I understand what you mean, the big husband has something to do and something not to do! Senior brother, you are a big hero!"
Jiufang Zhiming looked at Xiao Feng's admiring expression, a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Hehe, thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to say good things to comfort me, I'm actually fine!"
When Xiao Feng heard this, he was afraid that Senior Brother Jiufang would think that he was just talking casually, so he hurriedly explained: "No, Senior Brother, I didn't just say a few good words to comfort you, but on behalf of those who have been helped by you, on their behalf?
When Jiufang Zhiming heard this, he was stunned, looked at Xiao Feng with a suspicious face, and asked, "What did you say, the people I helped? What do you know?"
Seeing this, Xiaofeng immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth, and chuckled in his heart......
