Chapter 19: The Girl Tending the Sheep
"Little junior brother!"
A shout, sweet, but deafening. Qin Mu woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly saw a big mouth and two rows of fangs, horizontal in front of him, and shouted in fright, "Ah!"
"Heyβ" A burst of laughter came from behind.
Qin Mu finally settled down, and only then did he see the monster in front of him clearly, the beast was half a man tall, like a horse, with a white body and a black tail, a horn on its head, sharp teeth, and four legs as claws.
When the beast saw Qin Mu looking at him like this, it turned its head to the side arrogantly as if it had a spirit, and made a dull sound like a drum.
And behind the spirit beast, Luo Er was dressed in red, tight-fitted, and bent over with a smile there.
Qin Mu secretly glanced at the spirit beast again, and saw that its body was huge, its fangs were sharp, its head was high, and its body was slightly emitting a white light, which was very majestic.
He had never seen such a strange animal, and he was a little scared in his heart, and when he saw Na Luo'er smiling, he muttered, "Senior sister, who is this divine beast?"
Luo Er smiled and said: "This is my Xiaobai, it is the horse spirit beast that the master gave me-" Luo Er said, suddenly his face was solemn, he frowned and said loudly: "It's dawn, you get up quickly, hurry up and go up the mountain to cut down trees." β
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior sister, are you going too?"
Luo Er raised her eyebrows and said: "Nonsense, of course I don't cut it, the first three years of the lineage disciples, the male disciples need to cut down trees for three years, and the female disciples need to herd the spirit sheep for three years, I started when I was ten years old, and this year is the last year." Hey, why are you still in bed?"
Although he didn't know what his senior sister was talking about, Qin Mu still hurriedly responded, carefully spared the spirit beast, got down from the other end of the bed, and got dressed.
Luo'er shouted and said, "Next." "Threw a black axe.
Qin Mu followed his hands and saw that it was a relatively ordinary wood axe, refined from pure Xuan Iron, and it was quite heavy to start.
"Ironwood is extremely hard, so take this axe and use it first. β
"Isn't it just a tree? β
Luo'er snorted and said, "You can cut it and try itβ"
Ready, Qin Mu said to Luo'er, "Senior sister, where is the place where you are herding sheep?"
Luo Er glanced at him and said, "Nonsense, it must be on the grass in the back mountain." You think the sheep eat stones. β
After saying that, Qin Mu didn't make a move, only to see the horse-crossed spirit beast turn around, glared at Qin Mu, swayed his steps, and walked out with an elegant expression.
Qin Mu walked out of the room with Luo'er, only to see that it was still early, it was still early in the morning, he walked out of the corridor and looked at the back mountain, there was a hazy thick fog floating in the mountains in the distance, and in the far east, a dawn was slowly rising.
These two people and one beast walked towards the mountain behind the emerald green peak of Wutian Sect.
Passing by the Xianmang Square of Wutianzong, on the incomparably wide white marble martial arts training field, I saw hundreds of figures sitting quietly, all of them were a group of slightly young and young girls, and at this time, they were all extremely serious with their eyes slightly closed, and the breath between their noses showed a very rhythmic feeling, and with the breath of breathing, their bodies seemed to exude a subtle light that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The morning breeze was quietly blowing, the clothes were fluttering, and the scene was quite spectacular.
"This is a Qi Sect disciple cultivating the Qi Realm. Look at the square over there, Senior Brother Song Chen, they are also cultivating-"
Qin Mu looked in the direction of Luo'er's fingers, in front of hundreds of figures, there were several stone platforms, on the stone platforms, Senior Brother Song and the other five senior brothers, also with their eyes slightly closed, sitting cross-legged, their hands in front of them, their fingers crossed, their expressions calm, as if they had entered some kind of cultivation state.
Qin Mu saw that all the senior brothers were concentrating on cultivation, but he was going up the mountain to cut down trees, and he inevitably felt a trace of envy in his heart.
He was stunned, looking at these cultivators, as if he didn't want to leave.
"Let's go, you will have the opportunity to come here to cultivate in the future-" Luo Er looked at Qin Mu with a fascinated look, said with a smile, and then pulled Qin Mu across a stone path and walked straight to the back mountain.
Yesterday, Qin Mu walked from the trail to the iron wood forest, although the road was not easy to walk, but he only felt that it would not take long to arrive. Unexpectedly, I went up the mountain with my senior sister today, but I walked on the right path, and I walked for about half an hour before I reached the foot of the back mountain.
Luo Er led the way in front, walking with great ease, and the red petite figure swayed between the mountain paths, extremely brisk. Not to mention the horse-crossed spirit beast, the live wave is abnormal, one will jump forward, one will jump back, one will moan, one will roar, it is very excited and brisk.
Qin Mu followed behind, and also walked briskly on the mountain road, looking down, he saw that the emerald green peaks stood tall and tall, and the nearby mountains were half shorter, which was quite proud.
"It's here. β
The two came to the forest where Qin Mu cut down trees yesterday, Luo Er pointed to a meadow next to the Iron Wood Forest, and said with a smile: "I will graze the spirit sheep in the grass over there, you can come to me if you have anything." β
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Senior sister, what is the Changling Sheep?"
"The Elder Spirit Sheepβ"
Changling sheep, in Wutianzong, is a kind of sheep that is more than one person tall and covered with white hair, and it is very simple to raise, just rush to the mountain to eat wild grass. Therefore, not only the female disciples of the martial cultivation vein are doing this kind of work, but even many female disciples of other veins have also chosen this kind of easy cultivation.
Changling sheep, although it is a low-grade spirit animal, but the goat milk it produces is a good thing with aura, and drinking a cup every day can strengthen the body and enhance aura. Half of the goat's milk milked every day was directly used in the kitchen of the disciples of Wutianzong, and half was taken to the town below the mountain to exchange for some spirit crystal silver or something.
From the folk to the Xiuzhen Sect, whether it is the common people, or the rich and noble, everyone must drink a cup of this Changling goat's milk.
Moreover, the Changling Sheep shears the Changling Hair twice a year, which is not only a material for the entry of refining, but also a good material for keeping warm. In Wutian County, if the women didn't have one or two clothes made of Changling wool, they would have no face to go out in winter.
"What, don't you have a spirit sheep there?" Luo Er introduced Qin Mu to the specialties of Wutian Sect and looked at him with interest.
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "I can't hide it, I really haven't seen it." β
Luo Er smiled and said, "Okay, you come with me!" I'll take you to meet Changling Sheep, it seems that you haven't eaten breakfast yet, just in time to drink a cup of Changling Goat's milk." β
"I-may?"
Coming out of the Iron Wood Forest, what appeared in front of Qin Mu's eyes was a large area of green grassland. There are large areas of grass growing on the mountain, so it is specially used to breed Changling sheep. On one side of the meadow was a small wooden hut with fifty long-spirited sheep in a fence outside.
It took a lot of time to take Qin Mu up the mountain, and the Changling sheep was already so hungry that they screamed in the fence.
Luo'er took Qin Mu to the outside of the fence and said with a smile: "See, these are Changling sheep, you wait first." β
After speaking, Luo Er stepped forward to remove the bolt on the fence gate, took out a green jade plaque from his arms, shook it at the long spirit sheep, and walked towards the grass. And Qin Mu followed closely behind, staring at the jade plate in Luo'er's hand with interest.
Under the summons of the jade plate, fifty Changling sheep walked out of the fence in an orderly manner and followed behind Luo'er.
"This jade card is a kind of beast card, do you see these runes-" Luo Er said, bringing the jade card to Qin Mu's eyes and letting him take a closer look.
On top of the jade plate, there were some red runes drawn, and when Luo'er used it, those red runes were still slightly glowing, and Qin Mu looked at this jade card with great novelty.
"This is the lowest-level beast control magic weapon, which can control some behaviors of docile demon beasts. For example, if you want to control these long spirit sheep, but if you want to control those vicious demon beasts, you need more advanced beast control magic weapons. β
Luo Er said with a smile, and Qin Mu was stunned when he listened to it.
The so-called beast control magic weapon, for Qin Mu before rebirth, these things only exist in ancient mythology, since coming to this other world, those divine beasts, immortal arts, elixirs and other mysterious things have become reality, and these things still need Qin Mu to re-understand little by little.
In the Wutianzong Sheep Farm, everyone has a fixed grazing place, so Luo Er directly led these Changling sheep to a slope. She hung the beast card on an ironwood in front of the slope, and took Qin Mu to find a comfortable place to sit down.
And the Changling sheep scattered on their own, eating grass very obediently around them.
As long as this beast hangs here with the card, this group of long spirit sheep will only move around in this forty acres of grassland, and will not run around. And the Changling sheep raised by other disciples will also run to her to graze because of the different attributes of the beast control card.
It's just that every day, after these Changling sheep are eaten, Luo'er has to sprinkle some spiritual powder on this grassland, otherwise, with the amount of food of these Changling sheep, this small forty acres of grass will be eaten by them in less than half a month.
The two found a shade tree and sat down. Qin Mu was still staring intently at the seemingly magical beast control magic weapon, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.
"If only I had one of these beast control magic weapons, it would be best to overtake a huge divine beast-"
"Drink it. When Qin Mu was in a daze, he suddenly heard Luo'er say loudly, and then saw Luo'er take out a bottle of Changling goat's milk without knowing where.
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Where did this come from?"
When Luo'er heard this, she smiled, patted a bag in her arms, and said, "Take it out of my Qiankun bag." β
When Qin Mu heard this, his expression was stunned, and he thought to himself that this bottle of Changling goat's milk had a liter to say the least, how could this bag that didn't look big fit it.
"Senior sister, are you lying to me, this bag is so magical?!" Qin Mu stared at Luo'er suspiciously.
"Hmph, take it and drink it first, you're still afraid that your senior sister will hurt you. After Luo Er finished speaking, she stuffed Changling goat's milk into Qin Mu's hand, and then said, "I don't know the Qiankun bag? The Qiankun bag is a magic weapon specially used for storage-well, do you know the ring?"
Finally heard a magic weapon that was still relatively familiar to Qin Mu, Qin Mu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "I have seen the Na Ring, and I have seen three of them. After saying that, he immediately felt that he was not so superficial.
"The effect of this Qiankun bag is similar to that of the Na Ring, except that the Na Ring can't hold living things, while the Qiankun Bag can, so I will put some food and spiritual pets into my Qiankun bag, and put the magic weapon into the Na Ring-"
After listening to this, Qin Mu paused and said, "You-you also have a precept?"
"Hehe, it's a secret. Luo Er smiled a little mysteriously.
Qin Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I heard Senior Brother Song say that you have a giant white rabbit spirit pet?"
After hearing this, Luo'er looked stunned and said, "Giant White Rabbit, they actually describe my little Bai'er like that!"
When Qin Mu heard Xiao Bai, he immediately came to his senses and said, "By the way, what about the spirit beast you just had? β
Luo Er patted the Qiankun bag with a smile and said, "It's Xiaobai, my spirit pet is called Xiaobai'er, it's different." Xiaobai usually doesn't come out, and today is the first time it has come out to let off steam. β
"Oh, no wonder it's so hilarious. Qin Mu said with a smile.
"Behind this meadow, there is a forest of thousand feathers, from where some tigers and leopards often run out to catch the long spirit sheep, only then will my little white come out, Xiaobai is specialized in tigers and leopards for food. β
"Eating tigers and leopards?" Qin Mu opened his mouth wide, and he was afraid in his heart, seeing that the body of the horse-handed spirit beast was not big, and he still made a living from tigers and leopards.
"Yes, my little white is very powerful. And my little Bai'er is very lazy, and I guess I'm still sleeping at this timeβ" Luo'er said, shaking her head helplessly.
"Oh, yes!
Before Luo'er could finish speaking, with a "rumbling", a large mouthful of Changling goat's milk was drunk by Qin Mu, and suddenly a painful expression appeared on his face.
"Why- so sour?!"
Seeing Qin Mu's hoarse grinning, Luo'er couldn't help laughing, and said, "This Changling goat milk is what I prepared for Xiao Bai'er to drink, and it likes to drink milk that has not been processed-ha." β
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, half stunned, super speechless.
"What about improving your spiritual power? Don't have diarrhea. β
Qin Mu muttered silently in his heart. On the side, Luo Er had already smiled and bent over.
"It's not too early, I'll go first, there's still a tree to cut downβ"
Luo Er held back a smile, held back her mouth, and said, "Little junior brother, don't be angry, it's the senior sister's negligence." It was a pure accident, and I'm giving you good milk tomorrow. β
When Qin Mu heard Senior Sister's words, he showed a timid look on his face, and his eyes were staring at Luo'er, and he was about to say something, when he suddenly seemed to think of something, he hurriedly got up, said goodbye, and hurriedly ran towards the Iron Wood Forest.
Behind him, Luo'er smiled again and bent over.
"What a cute little brother!"
