Forty-one, completely forgetful
"What, you lost in the hands of Mi Xian'er's little goblin?" Chen Peng's voice suddenly rose by three points. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What's so strange about this, you have also seen Miss Mi's skills, no worse than me, and she is quite wise, I accidentally fell into her way. Wu You explained.
"I think you were stunned and lost in the hands of that little goblin. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, I finally got a second place, and it's so unbearable in your mouth?"
"It's thanks to you that you won the second place, otherwise it wouldn't be in vain for my hard work? If you are eliminated today, I don't pinch you to death. ”
Chen Peng walked around the Xiuzhen Market, and then went to Qingyun Pavilion to consign the demon pestle, and walked back to the Xigeng faction's dojo unhurriedly. By the time he returned to the dojo, the last day of the competition was over. The competition on the last day was divided into two rounds, in the morning the four monks who had advanced to fight each other, after a break at noon, in the afternoon there was a competition between the winners to determine one, two or two, and a competition between the losers to determine three or four two. In the end, the top three passed the preliminary examination and officially obtained the qualification for the Xigeng faction.
Wu You won one game first, but lost to Mi Xian'er in the second game and won the second place. The third place in the preliminary examination was Hou Qianli, a monk from Xiping City, so that Mi Xian'er, Wu You and Hou Qianli were respectively the first, second and third places in the preliminary examination of Huangshi County and obtained the qualification for the Xigeng faction competition. Originally, as two winners, they must have entered the semi-finals, but there is no need to divide the winners and losers, but this is a rule that has been handed down, and every competition will be divided into one, two, three, even if it is a formal entry competition, the top five will also be ranked.
If it is completely based on strength, it should be Chen Peng and Huang Xingyuan ranking first and second, and Mi Xian'er may be ranked third, but it is not easy to say. Like today's method of deciding the final seat according to the victory or defeat of the fighting method, there is actually a little element of luck. But overall, it's also a relatively fair approach and avoids a lot of behind-the-scenes dealings. Moreover, luck itself is also a part of strength, and there are many geniuses with dazzling strength, but they often lack a little luck and fall before they can fully grow.
"Xiaopengzi, did you go to the Xiuzhen Market this time, has the task been completed?" Kui Gang saw the two brothers arguing, and interjected and asked.
"Naturally, it's done, I put the demon pestle in Qingyun Pavilion and consignment, and set a reserve price of eighteen square yuan steel, the director of Qingyun Pavilion originally wanted to draw a twenty-eight pump, but in the end it was closed at one or nineteen cents. Saying that, Chen Peng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Kui Gangdao, "This is the consignment contract." ”
"Yijiu?" Wu You shouted, "Xiaopengzi, you are too good at doing business, if I go, I can talk about Sanqi." ”
"Sanqi, are you still Angelica," Chen Peng sneered unceremoniously, "I said senior brother, who taught you this arithmetic." ”
"Ahem," Kui Gang coughed twice and said, "I taught it." ”
"Master, I didn't mean to laugh at you. Chen Peng hurriedly cleared up.
"Don't quibble, you kid. But I said Yuzi, don't blame your junior brother, your junior brother gives the main thing a little more, and he must be able to find a good buyer for us more carefully. ”
"Huh?" Chen Peng was a little dumbfounded, no wonder Wu You couldn't figure out this account, it turned out that the master who taught him was not very good.
The three of them rested for one night, and the next day they went home to Jinshui Town. Although none of the two apprentices on this trip were successfully promoted to the Xigeng faction's entry competition a year later, the results were satisfactory, after all, although Chen Peng did not advance directly, but by participating in the selection of unsuccessful monks, he also had the opportunity to advance to the final competition. And with Chen Peng's strength, there is still a great chance of passing the selection.
"Xiao Pengzi, during this time, you should first go to Cangyun Mountain to experience a period of time, and then cultivate for a period of time, alternately, after all, after three months, it will be the selection of failed cultivators, cultivation is important, and the experience of fighting is equally important. Yuzi, you should first retreat and cultivate at home for half a year, and then start to practice in Cangyun Mountain. "Not to mention that cultivation really has to be inherited, and it can avoid taking a lot of detours, although Kui Gang is also a casual cultivator, after all, he is much more experienced than Chen Peng and Wu You. And when you first step into cultivation, you must have a master with you, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to understand those classics and exercises, and if you practice indiscriminately, not only will you not be able to live forever, but you may also be in danger of your life. It's like learning, you have to have a teacher to teach you at the beginning, and you have to master the basic knowledge before you can learn on your own. Later, when you become an expert, you may not have a teacher to teach, so you can either learn from your peers or study independently.
Chen Peng naturally had no objection, and borrowed Kui Gang's Yuan Steel Knife and prepared to go to Cangyun Mountain. However, he also felt a little pity in his heart, and now he felt that the demon pestle was more in line with his own fighting method, but it was stored in Qingyun Pavilion and sold.
Before leaving, Wu You pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Pengzi, I hid a gourd of wild fruit wine in the hollow of a crooked-necked tree about a hundred zhang southeast of our camp, you can help me see if it is brewed at that time." In addition, on the crooked neck tree, I dried three smoked deer legs, you can see if they are broken, if not, you can eat them quickly. There is also a cliff on the west side of our camp that has been walking out for five miles, there is a cliff, there is a waterfall on the cliff, and there is a bluestone under the waterfall that has not been exposed to the sun for many years. I haven't picked it for three months, and the fungus should have grown a lot. If you have time to go there and take a look, I will pick and dry all the stone ears on the bluestone, and when I also go to Cangyun Mountain to practice, we will eat together. In addition, about ten miles northwest of the camp, there was a cliff on which a herd of rock sheep lived. I'm not telling you to eat mutton, although rock mutton is delicious. There are more than a dozen ewes in this group of rock sheep who can produce milk, the first few times we went to the mountains to experience, if it was not the right time, the time of milk production was staggered, or it was an outsider, I didn't take you there. But I've calculated, this trip into the mountains should be just when those female rock sheep are producing milk, you can go and squeeze some boiled and drink. But more importantly, you can help me make some cheese, and we will eat it together when I go into the mountains to practice, and I haven't eaten it for more than two years, so I miss it very much. ”
"Stop, stop," Chen Peng listened carefully at the beginning, but later he even asked him to squeeze the goat's milk, and if he wanted to listen to it again, there was really something to come about, "These things will be said when you go to the mountains to experience after you come out of retreat." The fruit wine can be rebrewed if it is sour, and the deer leg can be smoked again if it is broken, and I am not in a hurry At this time, I still hurry up to cultivate and prepare for the competition in three months. After speaking, Chen Peng was afraid that Wu You's mouth would say something again, so he flew away.
Cangyun Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles, and Chen Peng and Wu You had only been to a small part of the mountain. Now that Chen Peng has entered the mountain, the fruit wine, deer legs, and goat's milk are lingering in his mind, and Wu You's words continue to appear in his mind like a mantra, which is simply too demonic. Subconsciously, Chen Peng avoided the camp where the two of them had rested every time they practiced, bypassed, and walked deeper into Cangyun Mountain.
At this time, it was autumn, and the leaves in the mountains had gradually turned yellow, and Chen Peng didn't have the heart to hunt those wild animals to eat, but just picked some wild fruits in the mountains to eat, and only started to hunt and kill them when he encountered spirit beasts. And even if he kills the spirit beast, he won't cut the meat to eat, after all, now the grass and trees are withering, in case of a wildfire, he is not afraid, but the beast in the mountain will be killed.
Walking and stopping along the way, Chen Peng didn't care about him, and forgot to go back to Jinshui Town, he has been cultivating in this mountain, just watching the sunrise and sunset, and when he sees the sun rising every day, he picks up a small stone on the ground and puts it in his pocket, completely forgetting the noise in the world.
"One, two, three...... , Seventy-two, I have accumulated seventy-two small stones in this pick-up, so I have been in Cangyun Mountain for seventy-two days, oops, the master also said that after a period of training, I will return to Kuifu to cultivate, but I forgot, in another eighteen days, the selection of unsuccessful monks will begin. ”
Time flies, seventy-two days have passed unconsciously, Chen Peng didn't feel anything at all, if he hadn't been idle today, he poured out the small pebbles in his pocket and counted them before going to bed, he couldn't have imagined that he had been in the mountains for so long. However, these seventy-two days of cultivation are also a little helpful to Chen Peng, after somehow entering this realm of selflessness, these days have actually allowed Chen Peng to open up the pulse in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and his vitality has deepened again.
"Let's go down early tomorrow morning, but I've been wandering around the mountains these days, and I don't know where I'm now. It seems that tomorrow will only shine in the direction of the sun, and we will continue to walk south, and we will talk about it when we get out of the mountain. ”
In the mountains in autumn, it is still cold in the middle of the night, but it is not an obstacle for Chen Peng at all, even if he immerses himself in ice water, it will not cause any damage to his body. Early in the morning of the second day, the sun had just risen from the sea of clouds, and in an instant, the golden snake was ten thousand ways, and the end was extremely magnificent, but Chen Peng also saw this scene often, and he was amazed at the beginning, and now it is no strange.
Looking at the direction of the sun, Chen Peng quickly determined the direction and rushed towards the south, and saw a black shadow jumping on the top of the tree in the mountain woods, like a spirit ape.
