Chapter Seventy-Five: The Siren's Boulder
Today's swordsmanship practice is only this move, but Lin Xi doesn't feel that it is too little or anything, after all, this move is enough for him to eat several pots, and after adding the wine atrium, Lin Xi is also ready to spend most of the next time refining the wine atrium.
"I'll teach you this trick today."
Xu Tianyi said.
Lin Xi nodded and responded, and after a while, he started the next step of practice, Xu Tianyi would not be angry about this, but looked relieved, after all, he was a student who taught himself, and he would still be a little happy.
In the following time, Lin Xi naturally continued to improve his swordsmanship, while Xu Tianyi returned to the room, not knowing what he was doing.
Soon dusk came, and Lin Xi's figure also appeared in Zhao Lao's room.
Zhao Lao didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "There are three hundred-pound boulders at the door, before it gets dark, you can start them from here, stay in the back mountain and come back." ”
When Lin Xi heard this, he also nodded and came to the outside of the wooden house.
I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
This is a hundred-pound boulder, at least two or three hundred pounds.
At the same time, Lin Xi was also very curious about how Zhao Lao moved these boulders here, and where did he get such a big stone.
Thinking about it on the other hand, for a strong man like Zhao Lao, this weight of a stone seems to be nothing, but Lin Xi is miserable.
These stones naturally have a provenance, and they can't appear out of thin air, but every time they move a big stone like this, the patriarch of the Kraken clan will cry once, because these stones are not ordinary stones, these are all treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation of the Kraken clan.
But not many people know the value of these stones, but Zhao Lao is the one who understands.
This made the patriarch of the Kraken clan almost regret his intestines.
A long time ago, Zhao Lao saved the life of the Kraken clan, it can be said that Zhao Lao is the benefactor of the Kraken clan's recreation, so naturally as long as Zhao Lao has something to ask for, the Kraken patriarch will definitely agree.
When Zhao Lao came to the Kraken Clan again, everyone was also very happy, and when they heard that Zhao Lao had something to ask for, everyone agreed decisively.
Hearing that he just wanted some boulders or something, the patriarch of the Kraken clan even made a bold statement: "You can take whatever you want, there are not many other Kraken clans, but we can give you as many stones as you want." ”
Zhao Lao was also happy to hear such a promise, but when Zhao Lao said that he wanted those precious stones that had been passed down from generation to generation, the patriarch of the Kraken clan also had a blue face, but he had promised others, so it was naturally impossible to go back, and besides, this person was Zhao Lao who had saved the lives of the whole clan, so the patriarch of the Kraken clan could only nod with tears and give away the things that had been passed down from generation to generation of his clan.
On the other side, Lin Xi, who saw these boulders, was also stunned in place.
"Scared?"
"If you don't want to, just go, I'll send these stones back later, and I'll go to someone else to get them."
"I didn't ...... No. ”
"It's just...... I've never seen such a beautiful stone, so I'm fascinated. ”
What Lin Xi said was also true, the stones of this Kraken Clan were more than a little more beautiful than ordinary stones.
The stone as a whole is sky blue, and it looks even better in the evening light.
"Whew~"
Lin Xi exhaled a long breath, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to do it.
"Hey!"
A boulder was picked up by Lin Xi.
When the whole stone was picked up, Lin Xi seemed to feel that it was not as heavy as he imagined, and after adjusting the rhythm of his breathing, he went to the back mountain.
The distance between the back mountain and the Dongwu Hou Mansion is not short, there are dozens of miles away, and if you add a circle around the back mountain, it will be at least hundreds of miles, but Lin Xi doesn't care about this, let's go first, it's a big deal to rest halfway.
Anyway, Zhao Lao can't see it.
What Lin Xi forgot was that there was time for this.
Sure enough, it was not far from what Lin Xi thought, and he stopped at the top of the back mountain.
"Damn, I didn't think this broken stone weighed at the beginning, but when I got to this mountain, the road broke and almost didn't exhaust me to death."
The stone was put under Lin Xi's ass and sat down, as if he wanted to make this broken stone suffer and humiliate.
Looking at the sunset in front of him, Lin Xi also sighed at the beauty of this scenery, and at this moment, an empty voice came in his ears, "Boy, you are resting now, but remember that there is time for this." ”
Lin Xi sat up from the stone violently.
"I'll go and forget about it."
picked up the boulder and had to walk forward obediently.
By the time Lin Xi moved the first boulder back to Zhao Lao's wooden house, the moon had already hung in the sky, and the sun had gradually lost its shadow.
Zhao Lao looked at Lin Xi and then at the boulder beside him and said, "Yes, the time is not too long, and I reluctantly go." ”
Lin Xi, who was lying on the ground, gasped and said, "Zhao ...... Zhao Ye, I really can't move...... I really can't move it. ”
"I didn't tell you not to move it all over?"
"Huh? So what you said earlier ......"
"I haven't gotten these boulders before, but now that the stones are there, I'll change my mind."
Hearing this, Lin Xi also smiled happily, he didn't want to move this broken stone today, and he almost didn't send it away.
This Kraken Clan's treasure stone has a special feature, that is, he will increase his weight little by little over time, from dozens of catties at the beginning to hundreds of catties later, and then from hundreds of catties to dozens of catties, so this is the reason why Lin Xijue's beginnings were not very heavy.
Lin Xi's willpower is quite good, and he doesn't know how many times he has rested, but he still took the stone around the back mountain.
The road up the mountain is difficult, the road down the mountain is even more difficult, you must always pay attention to your feet, to prevent yourself from slipping, and to prevent the stone from rolling down the mountain, if you roll directly to the destination is fine, but I am afraid that if the roll is not good, roll to which corner, it will not be more wasteful time.
After a while, Lin Xi was still lying on the ground and didn't want to move at all, his whole body was sore now, and Zhao Lao saw Lin Xi like this and went back to the wooden house to find something, and when he came back, he already had a cup of unknown things in his hand.
"Drank it."
Lin Xi took it and looked at it, and found that the things in the cup were pitch black and didn't look like something that people could drink at all.
glanced at Zhao Lao, and then at the contents of the cup.
Zhao Ye shouldn't hurt me, but is this thing really something that people can drink?
After hesitating, Lin Xi gritted his teeth and drank it all.
Flavor...... It can be said that it is indescribable.
It's like the rancid smell that has been there for a long time, and it's like water made from moldy fruit, but it's hard to describe in words.
After seeing that Lin Xi finished drinking, Zhao Lao returned to the wooden house to prepare his own dinner, and asked Lin Xi if he wanted to eat something here.
Lin Xi shook his head and responded, now he is tired and can't look good, how can he still have the strength to eat, plus the unknown glass of water he just drank, which makes him even more reluctant to eat.
Lin Xi continued to lie on the ground, his hands and feet relaxed, and Zhao Lao didn't care that he went back to the house to do his own thing.
By the time I got back to the hospital, it was already late.
As soon as they stepped into the hospital, Xiao Quan and Xiao Ling'er asked, "Little Hou Ye, have you eaten?" ”
"Have you eaten?"
Lin Xi nodded and said that he had already eaten, and now he wanted to take a good rest, so after chatting with Xiao Ling'er and Xiao Quen, he went back to his room.
"Little Hou Ye is really hard all day long, I feel so tired just looking at it, let alone doing it."
"Indeed, I seem to be more tired in recent days, and I look tired today."
"It's really distressing to look at."
"Uh-huh."
"Besides, we can't help much, so we can only silently support him behind our backs, and arrange three meals a day to wash his clothes."
After Xiao Ling'er finished speaking, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Xiao Quen, who was on the side, also nodded.
Now the relationship between Xiao Qu and Xiao Ling'er can be said to be getting better and better, and they almost have nothing to say, first, after experiencing the previous incident of defending Tianshi, and second, they don't want to distract Lin Xi because of their reasons.
Lin Xi, who returned to the room, was also tired and fell asleep.
The next day, although Lin Xi was tired after a hard day, he still got up very early, as if yesterday's incident had not happened.
waved his arm, and a feeling of soreness came directly from his back, "Hiss......"
"It's sour."
I was not in a hurry to complain too much, and with the gourd on my back, Lin Xi went to the back mountain to collect morning dew.
Without holding the boulder, Lin Xi felt that it was really very easy to walk this mountain road, as if the distance that was originally going to be walked could now be completed in just one step.
But thinking of this, Lin Xi became painful again, because he was going to come up with that damn stone again this afternoon.
Why don't you change your position today? Maybe it's easier to change positions.
Thinking about it, Lin Xi had already walked to Zhao Lao's wooden house.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to collect the morning dew today?"
"How can that be, that little weight still can't bother me." Lin Xi said stiffly.
"That'...... Why don't you change from one to two today? ”
Hearing Zhao Lao's words, Lin Xi immediately waved his head and hands: "Actually, that stone is already very heavy. ”
Zhao Lao smiled, "You try your previous trick now." ”
"Which trick?" Lin Xi asked.
"Draw your sword."
Lin Xi immediately put on a posture and prepared to try it, is it really so magical? Just one day can make a huge difference in that move?
The move is still very fast, but it doesn't seem to have changed.
Lin Xi questioned: "Zhao Ye, it doesn't seem to have changed much?" ”
"Did I say anything would change?" Zhao Lao said.
“…………”
"I just wanted you to show you how to do it."
"Your mother......" Lin Xi almost scolded, but fortunately endured it in the end.
"That'...... Zhao Ye, I'll go first. Lin Xi didn't know if Zhao Lao had heard what he had just said, so he could only leave first.
After Lin Xi left, there was originally only a small crack on the ground, but after the wind blew, two appeared in an instant, and the other crack was obviously a little bigger than the previous one.
