Chapter 6: Life in the Backhills
Early the next morning, everyone embarked on the way back to the sect, only to see that Elder Sun's palm slowly opened, I don't know when there was a small wooden boat in his hand, the wooden boat was exquisitely made, and the five organs were complete, Elder Sun groaned a little, and threw the wooden boat into the air, and everyone saw that after the small boat rotated in the air for a little, it suddenly became huge, attracting the surprise of the new disciples around.
After everyone boarded the ship, the ship suddenly accelerated, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
On the boat, Elder Sun gave an order and walked towards the cabin. At this time, Senior Sister Li took the initiative to stand up, introduce the details of the sect to all the junior disciples, arrange everyone's residence, and advise the daily precautions...... After everything was done, Lin Fan returned to the room with everyone.
The room is not big, and there are four other children living with Lin Fan, three boys and one girl. After the five of them returned to the room, they were assigned beds, and they gathered together and chattered non-stop, but fortunately, the big ship seemed to have good sound insulation, but it did not attract curses from the next door.
In this way, after about twelve or three days of flight, the speed of the boat finally slowly stopped.
Directly ahead, a group of towering mountain peaks, straight into the sky, the pavilions and pavilions on the top of the peak are like shadows, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the details can not be seen clearly, and the sound of birds and beasts roaring is endless. A twisted stone path winds down from the peak, like a picture of the scenery, the mountains and rivers are beautiful. A sense of seclusion arises slowly.
Everyone stood on the bow of the boat, and when they saw this scene, they were all full of emotion, even the senior brothers who lived here all the year round, they were slowly proud of coming here again.
After a while, the big ship stopped at the top of the mountain, looked up, and there was an ancient building on the top of the mountain, with brilliant glazed tiles, vermilion stone pillars, and a majestic gatehouse. In the middle of the lintel, there is a golden plaque, the plaque is inscribed with the four words of "Dayan Sword School", and the stone pillar is carved with exquisite fairies and floral patterns, which is magnificent. There is a couplet hanging on the pillar, which says: "The purple mist in the Dayan Palace embraces the lion's seat, and the forest tree seeks the voice to save all beings." ”
Everyone stepped over the gatehouse, climbed the stairs, where the eyes went, the clouds and mist also slowly dispersed, looking up from afar, a huge palace stood at the top of the mountain, although it was covered by the clouds, but bursts of colorful light flickered, people couldn't help but rise to worship at a glance.
Look left and right again, there is a jade arch bridge on both sides of the main hall, the stone bridge goes up along the void, interspersed from the clouds and mist, and connects with another peak, there are stone bridges between the peaks, it is not spectacular.
"The disciple welcomes Uncle Sun back to the sect, and at the arrangement of Deputy Head Zhao, my junior brother and I are here to welcome all the uncles and uncles, may I ask Uncle Sun, these are the junior brothers who have passed this assessment?"
At this moment, two young men dressed in white floated from the top of the peak, and when they saw Elder Sun's respectful face, they hurriedly bowed down and asked.
"Exactly, they'll be handed over to you"
When Sun Yu heard this, he stroked his beard, his figure moved, climbed the stairs, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Elder Sun leaving, Li Yuanyuan, Mo Wuying, and Lin Lan also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the two young men.
"You don't have to be polite, you should go back and say hello to the master, right?
Everyone agreed, and their bodies moved, and they scattered in all directions.
"Xiaofan, listen to the senior brothers, I'll come back to you later"
Lin Fan stared blankly at the people who kept coming and going, and it wasn't until the eldest brother who was leaving called him that he came to his senses, and then he was sent to a temporary wooden house with everyone to rest.
The next morning, all the new disciples were gathered in the square.
After an unknown senior brother explained the so-called door rules to everyone for a long time, a deputy door master named Zhao Song came belatedly and gave everyone a long time, and the so-called entrance ceremony came to an end.
Lin Fan, who had just finished the ceremony, was called to a house in the back mountain that specially arranged the work of miscellaneous disciples, and a thin young man with a thief's eyebrows and rat-eyed eyes looked him up and down with contempt while knocking melon seeds, and sneered.
"You are the waste spirit root that Uncle Sun brought back?"
Lin Fan glanced at him and was silent, and the young man sneered when he saw this.
"Hey, boy, since you are a miscellaneous disciple, then you have to be under my control in the future, from tomorrow onwards, you will get me here every morning to receive the task, every day only when the task is completed, you can get the corresponding contribution points, don't care, you will slowly know in the future, how important the contribution points are in the sect." This is your task today, this is your clothes and identity token, go south, in about ten minutes you will see a row of small cabins, pick any one, that is where you will live in the future, remember, don't run around at night, the range of activities of the miscellaneous disciples can only be in this back mountain. ”
After speaking, he impatiently put a set of clothes and waist cards aside, and continued to knock on the melon seeds.
Lin Fan took note of all the young man's words, turned around and walked towards the south, and it didn't take long for him to see a row of dilapidated cabins, and then picked the one in the furthest corner and opened it and walked in.
"Ahem! This is really shabby, there is no comparison with the main hall at the front door, people are really angry compared to people!"
As soon as Lin Fan entered the door, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the old appearance of the house, and at this time, a mouse swished out from the crack in the door, bringing up bursts of dust, and Lin Fan, who was choked and couldn't be clear, hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and cursed.
Looking up and looking around, after a brief tidying up, Lin Fan picked up the axe behind the door and walked towards the forest not far away, he just took a look, today's task is to cut down a hundred trees.
I found one at random, raised my hand to cut it, and found that the tree was not strong, and I could only scratch a shallow scratch on it with all my strength, and after changing a few in a row, Lin Fan found that the trees around it seemed to be like this, and only two were cut down after a morning, and the arms were already thick and swollen.
"You can't cut like this, even if you cut for ten days, you won't be able to complete today's task. ”
At this moment, a young man dressed similarly walked over from a distance, and when he saw Lin Fan who was cutting down trees hard, he seemed to be unable to bear to speak.
Lin Fan was stunned when he heard this, and looked up, only to see that the young man was thin and dark-skinned, and he looked slightly older than Lin Fan.
"You're a new miscellaneous disciple, right? I'm also a miscellaneous disciple, my name is Zhang Hu, and I'm seventeen years old this year, what about you?"
"Senior Brother Zhang, my name is Lin Fan, fourteen years old, I just came to report today"
"You can't cut it like this, all the trees on these mountains are much harder and thicker than the trees outside because they have been contaminated with spiritual power for a long time, and it is difficult to cut this mortal iron in your hand no matter how hard you use it. The boy explained.
"Listen to what you mean, do you have a way? Brother Zhang, help teach me!"
Seeing this, Lin Fan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zhang Hu's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Hey, buddy, do you have anything to eat? Fuck, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm starving. ”
I saw that Zhang Hu walked in, found a stone, sat down, looked at Lin Fan with staring eyes and asked.
"Do you want to eat my jerky?"
Seeing this, Lin Fan hurriedly took out a package from his arms and opened it carefully, which was the jerky that his eldest brother bought for Lin Fan before, and Lin Fan, who was reluctant to eat it, kept it in his pocket.
"Wow, there's still meat, buddy, thank you! Woo... It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten meat for a month. ”
Zhang Hu stared at the jerky in Lin Fan's hand with bright eyes, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and hurriedly took it, gobbling it up, his mouth was wrapped in jerky and full of ground, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
After a while, there was not much left of the jerky that was wiped out by Zhang Hu, he took a sip of water, picked up the last piece and wanted to feed it to his mouth, just saw Lin Fan staring at the jerky in his hand, Lin Fan's stomach also happened to scream out of place, Zhang Hu was a little embarrassed, put down his hand in disgust, handed the jerky in his hand to Lin Fan, and said embarrassedly.
"Brother, I'm really sorry, I'm so hungry that I ate up your jerky without paying attention, and this last one is left, if you don't dislike it, you can eat it?"
"It's okay, I'm not hungry, you can eat"
"You really don't want to eat it, then I'll eat it, good brother, you will be my good brother Zhang Hu in the future!"
After listening to Lin Fan's words, Zhang Hu hurriedly grabbed the last jerky, eliminated it by dividing it by two, drank a big sip of water, touched his bulging belly, and laughed with satisfaction.
"Brother, I just heard you say, your name is Lin Fan......?
As soon as he said this, Zhang Hu consciously said that the words were inappropriate, and he smiled wryly and continued.
"Brother, don't blame me, to be honest, now all the sects are talking about you, almost no one doesn't know about it, in fact, I admire you a lot, I am also a metallic first-grade spiritual root, I can only be a miscellaneous disciple here, you can still insist on not giving up your cultivation, it's not easy. ”
Lin Fan smiled bitterly, and didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so he hurriedly asked, "You haven't said yet, how can this tree be cut down?"
When Zhang Hu heard this, he didn't say much, he felt it in his pocket for a long time, took out a long cloth bag, carefully untied it, and there was a dagger with very rough workmanship inside, and Zhang Hu handed it to Lin Fan like a baby.
"No, try it. ”
Lin Fan looked at the knife in Zhang Hu's hand, the dagger didn't seem to be able to be described by the word dagger at all, and it was more appropriate to call it an iron block. I couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's just this broken iron? It's not opened, are you sure it can cut down trees?"
"Hehe, you won't know if you try it, try it, try it. I saw that Zhang Hu smiled mysteriously and encouraged Lin Fan to try.
Lin Fan took the dagger suspiciously, raised his right hand high, closed his eyes, and cut his heart horizontally, and slashed towards a big tree next to him, only to hear a muffled sound of "dong", and then looked at the big tree, and an inch-deep opening between them was introduced.
"Hehe, what's the matter, it's amazing, don't look at this dagger ugly, this is what I spent ten contribution points to ask the senior brother of the outer door to help me carve a spiritual pattern in class, this is not an ordinary knife, now it is extremely sharp." Zhang Hu proudly introduced the dagger to Lin Fan, but when he said ten contribution points, he couldn't help but feel a pain on his face.
"Hurry up and cut it, don't be seen by the king at the door, or it will be confiscated." ”
After speaking, Zhang Hu hurriedly urged Lin Fan to cut down the tree, so the two chatted with Zhang Hu about the anecdote of the sect while cutting the tree, and before it was dark, Lin Fan had already cut down a hundred trees.
