Chapter 19: Gaiters and Rings
"What do you want to do?"
Fat Feng tugged at the robe that couldn't keep his belly, and Gu Chen's two sly gazes made his back feel cold.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not going to sacrifice hue. β
"Poof!"
Gu Chen suddenly squirted out a mouthful of food, and looked the fat wind up and down again.
"I said, senior brother, your thoughts are too impure, besides, your place has a hue, why didn't I see it. β
"Cut, that's because you don't have eyesight, and there are more girls in our village who like me. β
Fat Feng threw Gu Chen a roll of his eyes, and turned around in place, full of sassy portraits.
Looking at the large pile of white flowers in front of him, Gu Chen's stomach churned, and the scene of a large group of women of the same figure surrounding a pile of fat meat suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I can't stand it, senior brother, don't show off, I just want you to help me sell the food I made, that's all, I really don't want anything else. β
Forcefully stroking the upturned food in his stomach, Gu Chen quickly took his eyes off Fat Feng's body.
"Ah, that's it, I thought it was a big deal, okay, it's on me. Fat Wind patted his chest.
"Okay, then let's make a decision, I will make things in the future, you take them out and sell them, and we will divide the money we get fifty-fifty. How?"
"Uh-huh" The fat wind chick pecked his head like a rice-pecking nod, not only can he eat such delicious food, but also make money, he can't ask for such the best of both worlds.
After some agreement, the two decided that Fat Wind would provide the ingredients, and Gu Chen would process these ingredients after a single day's cultivation, and then Fat Wind would take them out and sell them in the evening. As for why they had to do it every other day, after all, the two of them were still mainly cultivating, and these could only be called leisure activities, and doing so could also arouse the craving of the disciples in the courtyard for food.
In the room, with saliva hanging on the corners of Fat Feng's mouth, and his little eyes full of money, Gu Chen sat quietly eating the leftover roast chicken, looking forward to the beauty that would happen.
Time passed, and the two returned to the dormitory together after cleaning up the room.
Gu Chen lay on his back on the bed, listening to the snoring sound floating in the dormitory, his mind was full of the mysterious ancient book and the elegant and noble figure.
"Demon Flame Phoenix, Demon Flame Phoenix......"
Whispering, Gu Chen slowly fell asleep.
This night, no one saw a pink flame dancing between the eyebrows of a teenager in this dark room.
............
The next day, while the earth was still covered in darkness, an angry cry resounded throughout the miscellaneous academy.
"You two stinky boys, you haven't gotten up yet, when is it, hurry up and go to morning exercise." The elder stood in front of the dormitory door with a frown, the cool breeze of the morning made him tighten his thin robe slightly, and looked at the two disciples lying on the bed on all fours, and the anger suddenly surged.
"Uh......"
Gu Chen woke up suddenly, and at a glance he saw the angry elder, and his scalp was slightly numb.
"The teacher seems to be in a bad mood today, so don't mess with him. Muttering quietly, Gu Chen hurriedly woke up the fat wind that was still snoring.
"Hurry up, give you two minutes, and assemble outside. β
"Oh, yes, teacher. β
Gu Chen agreed as he hurriedly got dressed......
"Why is it so early today. β
Fat Wind rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up at the still dark sky.
"Fat Wind, what are you muttering, do you want to run a few more laps. The old scholar stared at the fat wind, and the grinning appearance made Gu Chen can't help but shrink his head.
"Gu Chen, this is for you, from today onwards, you have to bring it every day, including eating and sleeping, understand?"
"Yes, teacher. β
After taking the cloth bag handed over by the elder, Gu Chen almost didn't stumble, why was this little cloth bag so heavy.
Slowly opened, a huge pair of leggings imprinted into Gu Chen's eyes, and two small iron rod-like things were inserted vertically on the leggings, shining with a dark light.
"This is?" Gu Chen weighed the weight of this legging, and it was estimated that it must be ten pounds for nothing.
"This is heavy iron, dozens of times heavier than ordinary iron, but I took a lot of effort to find it. β
The elder raised his head and motioned for him to tie it up.
Gu Chen's cheeks twitched slightly, and he stiffly lifted his trouser leg and tied the heavy leggings firmly.
Tightening the rope, Gu Chen tried to lift his legs, and it was like two heavy rocks hanging on his legs, and it took a lot of effort to barely lift a little.
"Teacher, isn't this too heavy, I can't even move my legs. Looking at the old student with a bitter face, he felt helpless.
"Why aren't you stupid, is your puppet power an ornament? Although this heavy iron is heavy, as long as the puppet force is injected, the weight will naturally be reduced a lot. β
"Oh? Gu Chen hurriedly followed what the elder said and mobilized the puppet power in his body.
Whoa!
As two silver rays of light flashed on his legs, the powerful pressure suddenly lightened.
"Hah, that's true. β
Gu Chen tried to take a few steps, and finally smiled, but the joy did not last long, and after a small trot, bitterness climbed up his cheeks again.
Just after such a short period of action, Gu Chen could clearly feel that the puppet power in his body seemed to have consumed a small half, and the injection of puppet power into the heavy iron could certainly reduce some weight, but this heavy iron was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the injected puppet power all the time. At the moment, I have to run a short distance with this legging, and at this consumption rate, it is estimated that the puppet power will be exhausted before half a lap.
"Teacher, how can this heavy iron consume the puppet power so quickly. β
A hint of ridicule flashed in the old man's eyes, his face straightened, and he said: "Nonsense, if you don't consume it, you still cultivate a fart, I said that you kid have so much nonsense, let you wear it." β
"Oh, yes, and this, which I spent half a day building for you. β
After reaching into his arms and groping for a long time, the old man took out two delicate ring-like ornaments, each of which was linked by a small iron chain with five rings, and this size was unusually matched with Gu Chen's ten slender fingers.
After receiving the two rings, Gu Chen suddenly felt that his head was big, this was clearly made of heavy iron, and it looked like the style was still worn on his fingers.
With a long breath, in the eyes of the old man Yan SΓΉ, Gu Chen put these ten rings on his fingers in turn, which was slightly different from the heaviness of the leggings, although these rings also had some weight, but they were still within his bearing, but the small iron chain connected to the rings really made Gu Chen cry bitterly.
The fingers wearing the ring can no longer be opened and closed under the restraint of the chain, and they are always accused of being within a range, and what is even more troublesome is that once they are forcibly opened without paying attention, there is a tingling sensation coming from the place where the ring is, so that the ten fingers are completely trapped in a range of motion.
He also pulled out a trace of puppet power to wrap around his ten fingers, and Gu Chen cried and said, "What is this, I can't even move my hands." β
The elder directly filtered out this complaint, and replied without pain: "This thing is very useful, and you will naturally know it in the future." Okay, why are you two little rabbit cubs still stunned, waiting for Lao Tzu to cheer you on, why don't you start quickly!"
"Yes!"
The old man's raised fist made the two of them startled, and they turned around and rushed out.
Still the same as before, Fat Wind ran in front, Gu Chen followed closely behind him, but now there was an extra layer of burden, which made Gu Chen run particularly hard, not only to maintain speed, but also to keep injecting puppet power into the leggings, a little slack, it was a heavy force coming.
"Whew, whew!"
After running less than half a lap, sweat soaked Gu Chen's clothes, gasping for breath, and the silver light on his legs flickered intermittently, and every time the puppet couldn't keep up, a large cloud of dust and smoke would be brought up under his feet.
Although Fat Feng had been running in front, Yu Guang still glanced at Gu Chen from time to time, and when he saw Gu Chen's speed gradually slowing down, he also slowed down slightly, and came to Gu Chen's side, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Senior brother, the old man is really good to you, it didn't take long for him to give you a gift, haha......"
Glancing at the fat wind who was standing and talking without backache, Gu Chen lifted the wet hair in front of him, and said, "If you like it, then I'll tell the teacher in a while, and let him send it to you, it's comfortable to wear!"
"Uh...... Don't!" Fat Feng hurriedly waved his hand, his face full of horror, "We don't have the power to be puppeted, if we really want to be put on these things, it is estimated that we will be paralyzed directly on the ground, so you should enjoy it yourself." β
After speaking, Fat Feng ran away with one step, for fear that Gu Chen would throw the heavy iron on his body to himself.
"Hehe, this senior brother. β
Gu Chen shook his head and continued to run hard......
