Chapter 8: The Three Heroes
Iron Tower carried two buckets of water and walked briskly on the mountain path, with the increase of cultivation time, his Golden Bull Gong has also made great progress, and now he can return to the top of the mountain without taking a break, which was unimaginable before.
There is a line of sky in front of you, this mountain road is not only steep and abnormal, but also very narrow, one side is a thousand cliffs, the other side is an abyss, a little careless will fall down the mountain.
Suddenly, two people with leaves on their faces jumped out from behind the stones, one on the left and one on the right, and the guy on the left shouted fiercely: "I drove this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave the road to buy money." ”
"You stinky boy don't learn, but you actually learn to rob strongmen?" The tower laughed and scolded, "Don't show your original form soon!" ”
"Big brother, have you found out about this? You're amazing! The robber tore off the leaves and revealed two sly smiling faces, none other than Mighty and Lightning.
"How did you get here?"
"The two of us were bored, so we wandered around the grassland, and lightning saw you in the sky, so we hid here to surprise you." Said vigorously.
"You're not surprised, you're frightened." Iron Tower glared at him, "I don't have time to play with you right now, hurry up." ”
"Big brother, take us to cultivate together! We promise not to disturb you, nor to disturb your Master. "Vigorously begged hard, this guy really has a talent for acting, but he didn't shed tears.
"Okay!" After careful consideration, the iron tower agreed, the process of cultivation is very hard, and even a little boring, it is also a good thing to have a few more friends to encourage each other, and besides, they have nothing to do all day, maybe one day they will get into trouble, and following them is also a constraint.
"Great, our 'Prairie Three' can play together again." The two little ones jumped for joy.
"Play? I'm afraid that you won't be able to cry when the time comes. The tower smiled, but the name of "Three Heroes of the Prairie" is still quite good, it must have been vigorously conceived, this guy has a lot of ghost ideas.
"Brother, what did you promise me?" Vigorously pulled the lightning aside and asked quietly.
"What's that? I don't think I promised you anything! "Lightning is confused.
"You are afraid that the eldest brother will blame you and dare not come to him, and with my encouragement, you bravely took the first step, coupled with my three-inch incorruptible tongue, the eldest brother finally nodded and agreed. Now that you're done, shouldn't you say something? The mighty thief smiled with a smirk.
"Yours are indispensable, I'll bring it tomorrow." Lightning snorted angrily, and said that he was a good brother! It turned out to be all fake.
The tower was speechless, and thought that he wanted to learn the skills of Dali, but it turned out that he was greedy for the benefits of lightning, this kid was smart and smart, and he hoped to use it on the right path.
"Master, I have two friends who want to cultivate with me, and I relented and agreed, you won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" Back on the mountain, the tower first made it clear about it.
"How so? I'm not pedantic. The old horse laughed, "A fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, maybe they can help you in the future!" ”
The next day, the three good friends met on time.
"Big brother, this is my apprenticeship gift to you." Sweating profusely, Lightning brought a large watermelon.
Did I dip it in a powerful light or did lightning give it to me? The tower didn't bother to dig into the roots, and asked with a smile: "Where did this melon come from?" ”
"I ...... I picked it up. Lightning said hesitantly.
"You're in luck!" The tower laughed, "Where did you pick it up?" Take me to pick up a few too. ”
"I'm sorry, there's only one in total, and I won't have it if I pick it up." Lightning's face was as red as a monkey's ass.
"Lightning, don't lie to me, did you pick someone else's?" The tower stared at him.
Lightning is an honest man, not as eccentric as Dali, whether he is lying or not, you can see at a glance, his extremely unnatural expression has betrayed himself, how the watermelon came from is already very clear, the tower just asked him where he picked it from, and did not say the word "steal", this is also to take care of his face. Master once said that knowing mistakes can improve greatly, it doesn't matter if a person makes mistakes occasionally, as long as he realizes his mistakes and corrects them, he can't make a big fuss, let alone serve with sticks, his old man is a master of the Huaxia Kingdom, and there will be no mistakes in what he says.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I stole the old scalper's watermelon." Lightning told the truth, "He has a large melon field at home, and I think there are a few fewer that no one will find out, so I ......" The little guy was so sad that he couldn't speak, this was the first time in his life that he did such a disgraceful thing, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the eldest brother, which was really embarrassing.
"Brother, look at your little bit of interest, didn't you just take someone else's watermelon? What a big deal! Don't worry, the second brother will carry it for you if something happens. He comforted, "If he dares to trouble you, I will destroy all his melon fields." ”
"Bang!" Without any warning, there was a heavy blow to the head of the force, he smiled wryly, touched his numb head and stopped squeaking, it was no one else who made the shot, it was his most respected big brother.
"Do you have such a godfather? I'm starting to wonder if you instigated Lightning to do this. "If the tower wants to kill him, this guy will fan the flames.
"Wronged! Eldest brother. You also know that I love to sleep lazy, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I had already got the watermelon back, and it was really none of my business. "Dali is extremely depressed, the good things don't have my share, the bad things are all on my head, and sure enough, I was favored when I was young, and I knew that I would call Lightning the second brother.
"Lightning, it's not right to do this, don't do this in the future, let's go and apologize to the master later." Although it is not a big mistake, it cannot be regarded as nothing happens, and it should still be educated.
"I see, big brother." Lightning humbly accepts criticism.
"Big brother, I know that I was wrong." Vigorously said with a smile, this guy is not completely without merits, just like now, no matter how the tower kills him, he has no idea of holding grudges, and after a while, he will be reconciled as before. This also has to make people have a little doubt: "Is this guy a honey badger?" How can you lose all the fine traditions of the family's stubbornness? ”
"It's good to know what you're wrong! Anyway, the watermelon has already been picked, so we eat it, and if we don't eat it, it's wasted. The tower smashed the melon open with a punch and handed them two large pieces, to be honest, the melon is not ripe yet, if it grows for another three or five days, it will be perfect.
"Good! It turned out to be a good thing for a few of you. An old ox ran out of the bushes, "Yesterday I saw you sneaking around beside the melon field, so I kept an extra eye, and this time I really got all the stolen goods." ”
"Oh no, the master is here." Lightning's face changed greatly, and he was uneasy, but he was not afraid, and he would leave as soon as he left, but it would not be good if he was involved with the eldest brother.
"Uncle, we picked the watermelon, and now that we have eaten it, it is impossible to restore it." Tie Ta did not flinch, and took the initiative to take responsibility, "Otherwise, I will pour two buckets of water on your melon field every day as compensation, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Of course you can, then my old Huang Ke will take a big advantage." Lao Huang smiled and said, "I'm not here to hold you responsible, I just want to tell you that these melons are not ripe yet, and it's a pity to pick them now." ”
Tie Ta wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth, picked up the bucket and left, "Uncle, let's go water now." ”
"Thank you very much." Lao Huang is not hypocritical, watering is a hard job, and he is really a little powerless at his age.
Since then, there is a unique scenery on the grassland, a bison with a honey badger, a fierce eagle in the water to climb the mountain, cold and summer, rain or shine, as for why to carry water, and where to pick it, then only they themselves know.
Time flies, time is like an arrow, and in the following year, the tower carries water in the morning, reads in the afternoon, refines qi while sleeping, and the courses are arranged in an orderly manner. No painstaking work is no gain, and his progress is also very fast, the weight of the sandbags has increased to one hundred catties each, and the buckets on his back have also reached six. The most wonderful thing is the warm air in the body, sometimes swimming around in the meridians like a mouse, eager to rush out of the body. Sometimes he is as well-behaved as a pig, lying in the dantian and falling asleep, and he is not willing to wake up until he works hard at night.
The tower's body has also grown a lot, both in height and weight, compared to an adult bull. Lao Ma is very concerned about the growth of this apprentice, and he is exhausted, there are many precious medicinal materials in the cave, some of which he brought from Huaxia, and some of which he picked in the snowy mountains, and the old man gave them all to the iron tower without frowning, as if these were just a bunch of worthless weeds.
Iron Tower gobbled it up and said disapprerovingly, "It doesn't taste good!" It's a little bitter, or the sweet and juicy grass is more to my taste. ”
Lao Ma knocked his head with a book and scolded with a smile, "These herbs are out-and-out natural treasures, just take one and take it down, what strengthens the body and prolongs life is simply a piece of cake, and some have the effect of resurrecting the dead!" You're good, the cow chews the peony, you really disappointed the old man. ”
"Master, I'm joking with you!" Tie Ta said gratefully, "You are reluctant to eat these medicinal herbs yourself, so you gave them all to me, and the disciple really deserves it." ”
"These things are all things outside the body, you don't bring them with you in life, you don't take them with you in death, what's the use of keeping them? If you want me to be happy, behave well. The old horse pointed to the cliff and said, "Untie the sandbag and jump over!" ”
"Master, can I do it?" The cliff is bottomless, and the tower is still a little timid in his heart.
"How do you know you can't if you haven't tried?"
"Fight! It's a big deal to fall to your death below. The tower was so bold that it took a dozen steps back, then ran forward quickly, and jumped when it was almost on the cliff. An amazing scene happened, the body of the tower flew up as if it had wings, and easily stepped over, even more than a foot away. He stood still, unable to believe that this was his own masterpiece.
"If you can't jump through this, isn't that year's kung fu in vain?" Lao Ma had seen the world and was not surprised at all, "Tie Tower, what do you think is your most powerful weapon?" ”
"Of course it's bull's horns." The tower replied without thinking.
"Bring that tree down." The old horse suddenly pointed to the bucket-thick baobab tree on the edge of the cliff and said.
Without saying a word, the tower rushed over and shook its head, and the horns of the ox slammed into the tree, and the leaves gargled down and fell to the ground, but the trunk only scratched a little skin. He stiffened his horns and stabbed again, and the tree made another loud "bang", and the leaves "rustled" and swayed, as if to laugh at him for not eating, and not even having the strength to tickle.
The tower was annoyed, and the horns opened the bow left and right, and the number of collisions was too much, and his scalp was numb, and his eyes were full of stars.
The old horse shook his head and shouted: "The output should be fierce, the strength should be loose, the virtual attack should be real, and the soft should overcome the rigid." ”
Of course, Tie Ta understood that this was an extremely clever internal strength method, and he couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed in his heart, and he was impetuous, which was a taboo in cultivation. He took a deep breath, shook his head sharply, and then quickly retracted his strength, and the horns of the bull dug into the trunk of the tree without making a sound, as if it had only pierced a layer of window paper.
Lao Ma nodded and smiled, this kid is really a wizard who practices martial arts, and he can understand everything.
The tower's confidence increased greatly, and after practicing this method for half an hour, the large tree debris was splashed everywhere, scarred, and finally fell down "crackling".
"The martial arts in the world are unbreakable, but the horn is always flesh and blood, and only by practicing it like iron can it exert its greatest power and reach the realm of one force and ten meetings." The old horse took out the white jade muscles and smeared them on the horns, "Put down one today, tomorrow it will be two, and gradually increase every day in the future, when can you put down ten trees in one go, this set of iron horn skills can be regarded as a slight success." ”
……
The monthly meeting of the Golden Lion Tribe, the Carnivorous Alliance, is being held.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been more than a year and almost two years since the establishment of the Carnivorous Alliance, and with the joint efforts of everyone, it has played prestige, confidence, and brilliant results, which is worth celebrating." "But we must not be proud, we should continue to unite, only in this way can we ensure that the herbivores do not dare to resist, and everyone's life will be better and better." ”
"Under the wise leadership of the God of War, we will definitely be invincible and invincible." Looking up at the male lion on the heights, the hyenas, leopards and crocodiles all felt great pressure, but they also really admired his ability, and now life is indeed much better than before.
"Is there anything else you guys are up to? If you don't have it, just disperse! The god of war closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
Chasing Feng complained with an aggrieved face, "God of War, Steeltooth's subordinates always come to rob my prey, I don't care about giving him face, who knows that this group of bastards has become more and more presumptuous, you come to judge." ”
The god of war was furious, "Steel Fang, is there such a thing?" When we formed the alliance, we made a rule that the muzzle of the gun should be the same as the outside world, and no internal strife should be allowed, have you forgotten? ”
Everyone is an adult, and if you are dissatisfied with me, you can come out and fight it alone! I know that the complaint is really a bad seed, and it is a shame that the Carnivorous Alliance has the existence of your leopard. Steel Fang glanced at Chasing Wind disdainfully, and said respectfully: "God of War, I have so many subordinates, and I don't know who did it. But don't worry, I will discipline you strictly when I go back, and I won't let anything like this happen again. "Steel Tooth's respect is not pretended, she really doesn't dare to be naughty in front of the god of war.
The god of war nodded with satisfaction, this is what you want, no matter how majestic you are outside, it is best to be a man with your tail between your legs in front of Lao Tzu.
"The leader of the herd, Dashan, is quite hostile to our Carnivorous Alliance, and likes to meddle in things. God of War, what countermeasures do you have? "The long-mouthed person doesn't talk much, and rarely speaks at the meeting, but this time he actually opened the golden mouth.
"Yes! This guy thinks of himself as the leader of the herbivorous world with a bit of brute strength, and often has trouble with us, and even wounded one of my men two days ago. Steel Tooth agrees.
"I've also noticed what you said, Dashan is one of the best in the grassland, if it's not necessary, it's best not to go head-to-head with him, if you don't do it, you'll suffer." The god of war said, "But we can't be indifferent, blindly forbearance can only fuel his arrogance, tomorrow to find a way to kill two bison, should give him a warning, this is called killing chickens and monkeys." ”
"The god of war is wise."
"The god of war is mighty."
A sound of praise for virtue sounded under the cliff.
