Chapter 4: Kiwifruit
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
To enter the forbidden land, one must pass through the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
There is a 10,000-year-old strange tree in the Medicine God Valley, and according to legend, it is the first valley master to get the divine tree in the fairyland, and there is no second tree in the Xuanwu Continent! This strange tree is also the root of the Standing Valley of the Medicine God Valley, and it grows at the bottom of the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
Every year, the Strange Tree will give birth to a batch of Strange Divine Fruits, and after this fruit is swallowed, it can make the masters at the peak of the Qi Martial Realm smoothly advance to the Xuanwu Realm and become the powerhouses of the real famous town.
There has been a proverb in the Xuanwu Continent since ancient times: "Qiwu Nine Heavens, one heavy mountain, cross the Nine Heavens, turn over and become a god." β
It can be seen how difficult it is for the Qi Martial Realm to advance to the Xuanwu Realm.
It is precisely because the Medicine God Valley has this 10,000-year-old strange tree that a group of Xuanwu Realm masters can be born every year, so that the strength of the Medicine God Valley gradually increases, so that it is famous throughout the Xuanwu Continent.
It's just that the number of fruits bred by this strange tree is not much, and it can only grow and mature eighty-one fruits every year, and there has been no exception in these years, although the old antiques in the valley have tried every means to make the strange tree more productive, and even at the expense of blood, they use the great tonic medicine to make a decoction and water the strange tree.
The strange tree was nourished by the miracle medicine, and naturally it grew wildly, creating the huge body of the strange tree, which was hundreds of zhang high, and the crown of the tree was spread out, covering an area of several miles.
It's just to the chagrin of the old antiques that although this big tree is growing wildly, the output is still eighty-one, no more and no less.
The annual output of eighty-one is a drop in the bucket for the millions of disciples in the Medicine God Valley, and the Medicine God Valley has a large number of Qi Martial Realm peak masters waiting for the nourishment of the kiwi fruit every year, resulting in the current situation of more monks and less porridge.
Therefore, the kiwifruit is becoming more and more precious in the Medicine God Valley, and the leader of the Medicine God Valley, in order not to cause a mutiny in the Medicine God Valley, selects the best among these Qi Martial Realm peak disciples every year, and through a cruel martial arts competition, the winner can get a fruit.
Leng Shaochong had just been promoted to the peak of the Qi Martial Realm this year, and he was in need of a kiwi fruit to break through the barriers of the Xuanwu Realm, and with his current strength, he had no chance of winning at all against those old Qi Martial Peak masters.
The martial arts tournament will be held in two months, Leng Shaochong knows that he has no chance at all, if he misses the distribution of this kiwifruit, he can only wait until the next year, that is to say, if he wants to get the help of the kiwi fruit to advance to the Xuanwu realm, it will mean a waste of a year's time, and his cultivation will be widened and not increased in one year.
For a disciple of the Medicine God Valley with such fierce competition, what a year means, as long as a person who understands a little bit knows this truth.
Of course, without the help of the kiwifruit, it is not impossible to advance to the Xuanwu Realm, but to use other ways, the time is much longer, maybe three years, maybe five years, and even some people will not be able to climb the mountain of the Xuanwu Realm in their lifetime.
With Leng Shaochong's ambition, he was naturally unwilling to wait, he exhausted his mind and tried all kinds of ways to vow to get the kiwifruit.
But it's not easy to get the kiwifruit, the kiwi fruit tree has the valley master personally sent someone to take care of it, there are enough eighteen Xuanwu realm masters on duty in turn, the Xuanwu realm masters are already super strong existences on the Xuanwu Continent, they don't have to walk back and forth at all, just the divine sense can easily cover a radius of several miles, under the big net intertwined by the powerful divine consciousness of these masters, even if an ant appears, they can clearly distinguish how many hairs they have on their legs.
Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to get close to the strange tree without being discovered by the guardians.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, Leng Shaochong finally thought of a way to get close to Qishu with his unremitting efforts.
The eighteen Xuanwu Realm masters who guarded the strange tree were initially divided into two groups, a group of nine, and rotated every six hours.
In recent years, the disciples of the Medicine God Valley have known that the vicinity of the strange tree is heavily guarded, and no one has ever dared to approach the strange tree, and the guards have gradually relaxed, and recently these guards have been divided into six groups in order to leave more time for the recent rest, each group of three people, and the two hours are rotated.
Since the kiwi fruit had never been stolen, the valley lord did not interfere too much with the guards' practice, as long as they kept the kiwi tree safe, the valley lord just closed his eyes and acquiesced in their actions.
This brings an opportunity to Leng Shaochong.
The unlucky guy walked along a path in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, picking a place in the shade, and suddenly found a familiar figure in front of him.
"Leng Shaochong, what is this kid doing on such a hot day, does he also know where the cold mountain spring is?"
"No, this kid is obviously not walking in the direction of the forbidden land, but in the direction of the strange tree. β
The unlucky guy was a little curious, and quietly followed behind Leng Shaochong, wanting to see what Leng Shaochong wanted to do.
This season is the hottest season in the Xuanwu Continent, and it is also the season when the kiwifruit is about to ripen, and at noon a few days ago, it was the turn of Qi Dazhuang, Pang Shijia, and Gu Yuanshan to be on duty.
The weather at noon was the hottest, there was not a trace of wind in the valley, and the whole Baihua Valley was like a huge steamer.
Qi Dazhuang was lying naked under the strange tree, constantly wiping his sweat, and muttered and complained: "This thief God, I want to kill Lao Tzu here." β
Gu Yuanshan also sighed and said: "In this hot weather, who is not going to stay where it is cool, besides, the disciples in the Medicine God Valley, who dares to fight the idea of Qishu, if you want me to say, we don't have to stay here anymore, just go home to escape the heat." β
Pang Shijia said weakly: "Don't complain about the sky here, no matter how hot it is, we must also be loyal, in case something goes wrong, none of us can afford it, spread this kind of weather, count a few brothers unlucky, save some effort, survive these two hours, we can relax." β
Gu Yuanshan shook the folding fan in his hand and said lazily: "That's what I said, if you have to keep your duties, let's boil slowly." β
Qi Dazhuang licked his chapped lips, swallowed the saliva that had finally accumulated, and said with longing: "If only there was a bowl of iced sour plum soup." β
Before Qi Dazhuang's words fell, a slightly immature voice sounded in time, but in Qi Dazhuang's ears, it was like the most beautiful fairy sound in the world.
"The three uncles, you are still here to guard the strange tree on such a hot day, you have worked hard, the little nephew has come to bring the three uncles iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat. β
"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, Leng Shaochong This guy came to please the three guardians at this time, he is absolutely uneasy and kind, it is very likely that he is trying to plot kiwifruit. The unlucky man stared at Leng Shaochong's figure and thought in his heart.
The unlucky guy didn't dare to get too close, those guys, including Leng Shaochong, were not ordinary characters, he hid behind a mountain rock in the distance, held his breath, and quietly poked his head out, observing every move of several people.
Pang Shijia looked at Leng Shaochong, who was walking slowly, and couldn't help frowning, this kid can't be a plan, right? Thinking of this, Pang Shijia didn't raise his vigilance.
Qi Dazhuang didn't have this kind of concern, jumped up from the ground with a bang, swept in front of the person like a gust of wind, snatched the soup bucket in his hand, and laughed: "It turns out that Shaochong, or you kid has a heart, and you still think about your uncles at this time." Haha, even if you kid has a conscience, the uncles didn't hurt your kid in vain!"
Before the words fell, Qi Dazhuang removed the lid on the soup bucket with one palm, opened his mouth and inhaled, and a light red dragon suddenly rushed out of the soup bucket and rushed directly into Qi Dazhuang's mouth.
Seeing Qi Dazhuang drinking his special sour plum soup like a dragon sucking a whale, Leng Shaochong showed a faint smile: "Uncle Qi, your old man drink it slowly, the little nephew is ready to have enough sour plum soup, this bucket of sour plum soup is enough for the three uncles to quench their thirst." β
Qi Dazhuang drank bitterly, threw the soup bucket to Gu Yuanshan, who was waiting anxiously, patted Leng Shaochong's shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Boy, what you did, wouldn't you have something to ask us old guys." β
Leng Shaochong chuckled lightly and said respectfully: "Senior Uncle Qi is really wise, the little nephew does have something to ask the three senior uncles." β
Qi Dazhuang pursed his mouth: "I know that your kid won't burn this pillar of incense for nothing, say something happily, but Lao Tzu's ugly words are ahead, you kid must not fight the idea of kiwifruit, this matter is not something that Lao Tzu can do." β
Leng Shaochong smiled slightly: "What Uncle Qi said, it is to give the little nephew 10,000 guts, and the little nephew will not dare to spy on the kiwifruit." β
"Without further ado, what the hell is going on. β
"That's the case, the little nephew is now refining an elixir that enhances the power of divine consciousness, and now there is a lack of a material soul awakening grass, I heard that this kind of herb is only available in the dense forest of the back mountain, the little nephew's strength is low, and he doesn't dare to enter it alone, I want to ask the three uncles to help, help the little nephew to find a few plants in the dense forest of the back mountain, the little nephew is grateful. β
The unlucky guy couldn't help but pout, isn't it a forbidden land, Lao Tzu is just the strength of the three levels of the Qi Martial Realm, so he dares to enter it one by one, you kid is the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm, and he doesn't dare to enter alone, he is really a timid guy.
Although he secretly despised Leng Shaochong in his heart, the unlucky guy still didn't make a sound, listened carefully to the conversation of several people, and saw if Leng Shaochong could ask a few masters to escort him.
Hearing Leng Shaochong's words, Pang Shijia couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly scolded himself for being too careful, this guy was a junior apprentice of the Qi Martial Realm, how dare he plot the Kiwi Fruit in front of his three Xuanwu Realm masters.
Pang Shijia picked up the soup bucket handed over by Gu Yuanshan, took a sip of the cool sour plum soup, and said unhurriedly: "Boy, are you crazy, Houshan is the forbidden land of the Medicine God Valley." β
Gu Yuanshan nodded and said: "Boss Pang is right, you kid should have heard of the danger of the Houshan dense forest, even the super powerhouses who surpassed the Xuanwu Realm and the top masters of the continent did not dare to go deep into it." Don't you know how the former master of the hall disappeared?"
Leng Shaochong smiled slightly: "The little nephew naturally knows that the predecessor of Wu Changkong is to break through to a higher realm and go to the back mountain and dense forest to find opportunities, but he will never return, otherwise even if the Qi family refines the first holy weapon in the Medicine God Valley, it will not be the turn of the Qi family to be in charge of the instrument hall." β
"Damn, I know that the back mountain is extremely dangerous, and you kid still wants us to accompany you on an adventure, what kind of heart do you kid have!" Qi Daqiang asked loudly.
