Chapter 12 The Day of Release
Finally Li Mu was comfortable, he stretched his waist, and said very comfortably, "Okay, you can go to the back mountain now, cut five hundred catties of firewood per person, and finish it before sunset, if you can't finish it, you won't have dinner today."
"No, there are two axes there, you can go immediately" Li Mu closed his eyes again and said.
Now there are still two and a half hours before sunset, and it is impossible to cut five hundred catties of firewood in such a short period of time, and this Li Mu is obviously deliberately cleaning them up.
Although it was impossible to complete, Wang Chen still had to do it, and they couldn't leave Li Mu with any handle.
Wang Chen found two axes in the corner of the wall, the blades of the axes were a little blunt, I really don't know how long it will take to cut five hundred catties of firewood with such an axe, let alone two and a half hours, even if two and a half hours are not enough for them.
Wang Chen and Wang Daniu walked towards the back mountain. The back mountain is a dense forest, very secluded, quiet and terrifying, as if there is some danger hidden. They came to a stop at the edge of the woods, not daring to go too deep.
Picking up an axe, picking a tree with a smaller caliber, they cut it down, and the two of them worked together. The axe weighed about five or six pounds, and it was not something ordinary people could bear to swing continuously for half an hour, Wang Chen's arms were sore, and his shoulders were red and swollen. Wang Daniu's situation is slightly better.
"Da Niu, aren't you tired?" asked Wang Chen.
"I'm not too tired, my family makes a living by collecting firewood, so I went out to chop firewood," Wang Daniu said with a smile.
Wang Chen said with some complaints, "Then Li Mu is really ruthless, how can we finish this job today, I think he is deliberately looking for fault."
"Well, I think so too," Wang Daniu nodded hurriedly and said. He agreed with what Wang Chen said.
"Even if we can't finish cutting, we have to cut it, let's hurry up and work," Wang Chen looked at his somewhat red and swollen shoulders and said helplessly.
Time passed in a flash, a ray of afterglow was sprinkled on the back mountain, Wang Chen and Wang Daniu had also finished their work, and they went back with a sad face and a few firewoods.
In the miscellaneous room, Li Mu was sitting on his old chair and eating a bowl of rice, with three chicken legs on it, which didn't seem to be the size of a person. He ripped off a mouthful of chicken, his mouth full of oil.
Seeing Wang Chen and Wang Daniu coming back, he said vaguely, "Your task has not been completed, and there is no dinner today."
Wang Chen looked at the bowl full of rice in Li Mu's hand, his face was full of black lines, Nima, do you want to eat so openly, and the food is so ugly, your meal is obviously three people. Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Chen didn't say it.
Wang Chen: They were already very tired, and since they didn't have anything to eat for me, they went to rest.
Lying on the bed, the bed squeaked, as if it was about to fall apart at any time, Wang Chen didn't dare to turn over, for fear of accidentally breaking the bed.
"Wang Chen, where are you from, why did you come to this Ascending Immortal Sect," Wang Daniu asked.
Wang Chen rested his head on his hands, he looked at the sky through the gap in the roof, and muttered, "I'm here for a few people."
"They must be your closest people," Wang Daniu was stunned when he heard this, and he asked again.
"Well, the three of them are my brothers, we are separated from each other, we have not heard from each other, and I am going to find them. She is the girl I love, but she was taken away in front of me by a powerful sect, and I have come to learn this practice and bring her back in the future."
Wang Daniu's heart was full of emotion, how could he not be like this, he wanted to learn this cultivation method to protect the people closest to him.
"I have a sister, my sister has been very good to me since she was a child, but we have a group of bandits, the bandit leader coveted my sister's beauty and plundered my sister, and I will marry my sister in a month, and now there are only more than 20 days left, I came here to learn some skills and go back to protect my sister" Wang Daniu said as he said with two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes.
"But now it seems that I can't learn any skills," Wang Daniu said dejectedly.
"Da Niu, don't be discouraged, although we are here now, you have to believe that although we are now inner disciples, one day we will become inner disciples, as long as we are willing to work hard," Wang Chen encouraged Wang Da Niu and said. In fact, he is also comforting himself in his heart.
"Coo" Wang Chen's stomach rang out angrily. Wang Chen suddenly smiled awkwardly.
Wang Chen continued, "Wang Da Niu threw something. Wang Chen took it and saw that it was a steamed bun.
"I just have two steamed buns left, so I'll make do to fill my stomach tonight," Wang Daniu said with a smile.
Wang Chen said sincerely, "Thank you, Da Niu"
The night passed quickly, a ray of sunlight shone into the house, fell on Wang Chen's face, it was already Chenshi, because he was too tired yesterday, Wang Chen and Wang Daniu were still sleeping.
A loud "bang" sounded, waking Wang Chen and the two from their sleep, only to see that the wooden door was missing, smashing on the opposite wall, and Li Mu stood at the door with an angry face.
He scolded angrily, "It's three poles a day now, you are still sleeping, and you have been a pig all your life"
"Senior brother, we were just too tired yesterday and accidentally overslept," Wang Daniu said apologetically.
"You two are still tired, do you know how much I worry about your business, I didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, I didn't complain about you, you complained first" Li Mu said with a sad face.
Do you want to be so shameless, you dare to say that you are tired, you snored all night yesterday, and said that you didn't fall asleep, can you be more shameless. Wang Chen scolded angrily in his heart.
Li Mu scolded and breathed a long sigh of relief, he was tired of scolding. He said, "Today in front of the main hall of Tianmu Mountain, the time is coming soon, you guys go quickly."
Wang Chen and Wang Daniu glanced at each other, and they were puzzled in their hearts, how could this Li Mu be so kind. Shall he be healed?
"Remember, you go early and come back early, and when you come back today, you will each have to pick up ten jars of water and chop two hundred catties of firewood," Li Mu said again.
It seems that this Li Mu's nature has not changed. Wang Chen and Wang Da Niu walked towards the main hall.
The front of the main hall was already full of people at this moment, and these people were clearly distinguished, one was white, one was blue, and one was gray. This time, all the disciples had a share, because there was a big incident not long after.
In front of the main hall, there is a high platform, and the entire high platform is covered with red cloth.
At this moment, there were eleven people standing on the high platform, most of them were middle-aged men, they stood quietly on the high platform, not angry but mighty. These people are all heavyweights on Tianmu Mountain.
There are four people on the left and right, these eight people are all elders of the Punishment Hall, three people in the middle, one person on the left and one on the left, one of these two people is Dan Lao Zhou Feng, Fu Lao Zhao Buzhu. The middle one is the highest person in Tianmu Mountain. The lord of Tianmu Mountain.
"Have you seen it, the fifth person on the left is Dan Lao Zhou Feng, he is my idol, Elder Zhou is already a Sanpin Dan Master, you must know that the Sanpin Dan Master is a rare existence in the Tianyun Continent, how many forces are vying for it, I am determined to be a Dan Master" This person said with a light in his eyes.
"Just like you, you still want to become a Danshi. The fifth person on the right is the talisman master Zhao Buzhu, he is also a third-grade talisman master, you must know that there are fewer talismans than Dan masters in the Tianyun Continent, especially the third-grade talisman masters" The other person retorted.
Another person said unhappily, "Come on, what can a talisman master do, he just draws and paints the past all day long, and it doesn't help much when fighting with others, so it's better not to."
"Hmph, you dare to slander the talisman master," the man snorted coldly. For a while, he scolded the man.
"Senior brother, those newcomers are too unetiquette, do you want to teach them a lesson" An inner disciple said to Liu Yan respectfully.
Liu Yan glanced at it, and he said lightly, "There are elders here, they have already seen all this in their eyes, and it is not our turn to call the shots."
"It's Senior Brother, I know I'm wrong," the man replied with a very respectful expression.
Another inner disciple asked, "Senior brother, why is it that even the mountain master is here today?"
"Have you forgotten, there is still a month to go before the Eight Mountains Competition, this time it is about the reputation of our Tianmu Mountain, if we end up in the last place, our Tianmu Mountain will be merged into the other seven mountains, how can the mountain lord not come to such a big event" Liu Yan said.
"Senior brother, don't we have you in this year's big competition, your strength has reached the ninth layer of Guling, and your strength among the eight people is also very strong, how can we end up in the last place"
"Yes, senior brother, maybe we might even get the first place this time."
"Can you speak, what is possible, with the ability of the senior brother to win the first place, it is very certain"
These people were gossiping and flattering Liu Yan, although Liu Yan knew in his heart that they were sycophants, but his heart was still quite useful.
"All calm down, next we are about to release the Dan, the inner disciples each put a first-grade seven-pattern Xuanyuan Dan plus a high-grade spirit stone, the outer disciples have a solid spirit pill plus a medium-grade spirit stone, and the registered disciples have a melting spirit pill plus a lower-grade spirit stone," Dan Lao Zhou Feng said.
"There is still a month to go is the Eight Mountains Great Competition, it just so happens that this time coincides with our Ascension Immortal Sect to accept disciples, I hope you can cultivate with your heart, you are the hope of the future of our Tianmu Mountain, related to the future of our Tianmu Mountain, no matter what your future is, but you always have to remember that you are the disciples of Tianmu Mountain, this time the Melting Spirit Pill for you can help you quickly enter the ranks of cultivation, I hope you can make good use of it"
