Chapter 45 Climbing a mountain is also a martial arts practice
As soon as the time came, the fat man took his two partners and prepared to go to the mountain, before entering the mountain, they specially went to Bian Liangcheng to purchase, and the fat man bought two large packages full of things, and carried them on his back like two hills, which looked very funny.
The three men got into the carriage and drove all the way north, and when they came to the mountain, they dismounted.
The mountain was only 300 zhang long, and it was also covered with lush trees, and no one came, but as soon as they came to the mountain, a man's voice came from their ears: If you want to see him, you can't use any martial arts, and climb to the top of the mountain with your bare hands.
Looking at this big mountain, the three of them made a difficulty, the mountain is considered some cliffs, if you want to climb to the top of the mountain with your bare hands, I don't know how long it will take, it is a great test of their physical strength and energy.
Li Chunfeng and Lao Niu are okay to say, with the physique of a fat man, they can pant for two steps without martial arts, let alone climb this steep mountain.
In order to take care of the fat man, Li Chunfeng and Lao Niu took the initiative to share his two packages, as soon as they took the package, their faces were fine, and Lao Niu kicked him on the ass and scolded: "What are you carrying in this dog's day, it is so heavy, it will cost twenty or thirty pounds to say the least." ”
The fat man then kicked back and said, "Your package is full of some wine gourds, which are full of royal wine stolen from my father, and Xiao Lizi is full of some jerky, if you are too heavy, give it to me, you don't have to carry it, and you won't have your share in drinking in the future." ”
When Lao Niu heard that it was good wine, his face immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "I carry my back." ”
Waving to the two partners, Li Chunfeng said, "Don't waste time here, we must climb to the top of the mountain before dark." ”
In the palace, Jin left and right just finished the work in hand, stood up from the chair, ready to take a drink, and instructed the next person to go to the warehouse to get some imperial wine, after a while, the next person ran back dejectedly, Jin left and right only then learned that his imperial wine was stolen by the third son, the angry nose was crooked, and scolded loudly: "You rabbit cub, this imperial wine Lao Tzu is not willing to drink a sip, it was all stolen by you, and when you come back, Lao Tzu has to break your dog's leg." ”
When the people saw the prince so angry, they knew that the third prince was in trouble again, and their legs trembled with fright, but they also understood that the prince loved the third prince the most on weekdays, and every time no matter how big a mistake he made, he just scolded and scolded him, and he was never willing to fight.
Before he had taken a few steps, the fat man sneezed a few times, and I don't know who was scolding him behind his back.
When the three of them entered the mountain, they found that there was not even a decent road, and there were weeds and rocks everywhere, and if they were not careful, they would fall off the cliff and fall into meatloaf.
The cliff here is extremely steep, and every step up the climb will take a huge amount of physical strength, and before they have reached the halfway point of climbing, they can no longer support it, he hung on the edge of the cliff, panting and said, "No, I really can't hold it anymore, let me rest for a while." ”
But where is the place to rest on this cliff, Li Chunfeng urged: "Fatty, you are holding on, and you will soon reach the top of the mountain." ”
But the fat man really couldn't hold on, he wanted to use martial arts to fly to the top of the mountain, but was stopped by Li Chunfeng, helplessly, he took out a thick rope, climbed to the fat man's location, tied one end to the fat man's waist, and the other end tied to his waist, so that he could catch his own strength to help the fat man pull up, the old cow saw this, and also concocted the same method, with the help of their two partners, the fat man's body was really lighter, and he was full of strength to climb up again.
In this way, the fat man was a lot lighter, but after suffering Li Chunfeng and Lao Niu, they were already carrying heavy things on their backs, and with the fat man's oil bottle, their movements were even slower, but fortunately, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain before dark.
As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they immediately lay down on the ground from exhaustion, gulping heavily and dressing roughly, not noticing that there was a handsome middle-aged man standing next to them.
This man is dressed in white clothes and fluttering, looks like he is about 30 years old, seven feet tall, his face is like a carving, his facial features are distinct, angular and handsome, but people who practice martial arts cannot judge age by appearance, they seem to be young, but in fact they don't know how many years they lived.
When the three of them reacted, the man didn't know how long he stared at them, and then they immediately stood up, looking at the handsome man in front of them, the fat man took the lead and the three immediately bowed down and bowed, and they said respectfully: "Meet Senior Wei." ”
Wei Mengchen was expressionless, and he didn't pay much attention to the respect of the three of them, but said in a reprimanding tone: "After the three of you went up the mountain, you only cared about resting, and you didn't even notice that I appeared, if it was an enemy, you would have already moved your head, and you can't slack off at any time, did you hear it!" ”
The three of them were frightened enough by Wei Mengchen's momentum, stood up straight, and hurriedly nodded yes.
The next tone Wei Mengchen's tone softened a little, and said: "Although you slacked off, but you didn't use any martial arts, you still climbed to the top of the mountain before dark, you can be regarded as passing the first layer of the test, you can find a random place to rest on the top of the mountain for one night, and the next test will be tomorrow." ”
In fact, Wei Mengchen was very satisfied with the performance of the three of them, and supported and helped each other, which was the real purpose of his test of the three of them.
The three of them looked around, except for Wei Mengchen's two wooden houses, the rest were some trees and wood, how could there be a place for them to live, fortunately, they were used to sleeping in the open air, a bunch of bonfires, they found some leaves to cushion on the ground, fell to the ground and fell asleep.
On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, they ate something, and they were ready to start building a wooden house, who knew that Wei Mengchen unknowingly appeared beside them again, this time the three of them were prepared, and found his figure early, stood up straight, and greeted respectfully.
Wei Mengchen didn't say much nonsense, and directly said the content of this test to the three of them, and said: "From now on, you have to go down the mountain and up the mountain once a day until it lasts for half a month, and you can't use internal force either, complete it before dark, if you can't finish it, you can pack up your things and get out." ”
The fat man was a little unconvinced, they came to learn martial arts, not to climb the mountain, what's the point of doing these things?! As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to refute, he seemed to have a slap in the face, and the pain made him immediately cover his mouth.
Wei Mengchen reprimanded: "If you are not satisfied, you can pack up your things and get out of the house immediately, I will never force you to stay, if you want to stay, you will honestly do what I say." ”
This time the fat man didn't dare to say anything more, this Wei Mengchen was simply too domineering, and he didn't give people a chance to quibble at all.
When Wei Mengchen left, the two partners went over to comfort him, and Lao Niu patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, fat man." ”
I saw the fat man covering his face and crying: "Why am I the unlucky?" ”
Li Chunfeng looked at the bottom of the mountain, but he didn't have a sad face, encouraged the two partners, and said, "Fatty, don't complain, let's hurry up!" Senior Wei asked us to do this, and there may be his reason, just think of it as practicing martial arts, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we will definitely get through it. ”
Since you can't use martial arts, it's quite difficult to go down the mountain, so you can only climb down little by little, but the speed is still a lot faster than when you go up the mountain, and it also saves a lot of physical strength.
When he came to the bottom of the mountain, the fat man sat on the ground, gasping for breath, saying that he didn't want to climb up, but was kicked by Li Chunfeng and said, "Don't talk nonsense, rest for a while and continue to climb." ”
The three of them rested for a while, and then started the journey of climbing the mountain, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain before dark, their physical exertion in the past two days was too great, and they simply did not have the strength to build a wooden house again, but it was not a way to always live outside, Li Chunfeng rested for a while, gritted his teeth, and got up again to start cutting trees, and the old cow also went to help.
Although the fat man was reluctant to move, he saw the busy figures of the two partners, and he couldn't bear it, so he struggled to stand up and went to help.
In the next half a month, they climbed the mountain while building a house, and slowly got used to it, three brand new wooden houses were not only built, and their physical strength has been greatly improved, the fat man has also lost a lot of weight, and it is no longer as difficult to climb the mountain as before, and more importantly, they feel that their internal strength has actually improved, is this the benefit of climbing the mountain every day?
On this day, they were finally able to move into the wooden house, and the three of them also drank a little wine to celebrate, and asked about the aroma of the imperial wine, Wei Mengchen actually walked out of the wooden house.
Seeing this, the fat man hurriedly handed over a gourd of wine, Wei Mengchen took the wine, looked at the three boys in front of him, and sighed very emotionally, these days, they have advanced and retreated together, and have never given up on each other, they really envy their friendship, Wei Mengchen had not sworn poisonously before, he would not accept any apprentices, and the truth would have taken them under his own door.
Taking advantage of the fact that the three boys were not drunk, Wei Mengchen came to the fire and said to them: "Presumably your rations are running out, give you three days to go down the mountain to purchase, but you must come back on time, if it is late, you know what will happen." ”
When he learned that they had three days to go down the mountain, he was very happy, and the fat man was the most happy, and he immediately agreed.
On the second day, the three of them went down the mountain early, all the way to perform light skills, and soon came to Bian Liang City, came to the largest restaurant here to prepare for a big meal, who knew that he was blocked by a small house, he saw these people in front of him dressed in tatters, thinking that it was called Huazi, so he wanted to drive them away.
The fat man pointed to himself and said, "You don't know who I am?" There are not a few people in the entire Bian Liang City who dare to speak to me like this, even if I don't pay for my meal in your shabby restaurant, your boss will be very happy to welcome us in. ”
Who knew that the little guy's attitude was very arrogant, and he spat at the three of them, scolding: "Phew! Who do you think you are? Look at your tattered appearance, could it be the little prince in the palace? Get out of here, or I'll have your dog's leg broken. ”
