Chapter 2: One of the Thirty-six Thieves, Liu Deshui

"Here we are."

"You're going to live here."

Li Muxuan carried his luggage on his back and walked to an old courtyard under the leadership of a Sanyi gatekeeper.

The courtyard did not look imposing from the outside, the plaster on the walls had mostly dried out, revealing the weathered green bricks inside, and the roof tiles were covered with a thick layer of moss.

It can be seen that this yard has been around for some years.

Crunch...

The courtyard gate was pushed open.

Li Muxuan followed the disciples of Trinity Sect into the walk-in.

Looking around, the first thing he saw was a row of large water tanks taller than him, about half a foot high, and if they were filled, it would be difficult for even two adults to pick them up.

On the right side is a pile of stacked sacks, I don't know what they contained, but most of them were rice, flour, wheat and other grains.

Finally, there is a white-haired child with a firewood knife in his hand.

And the other party also heard the movement, turned his back to look at the door, and his eyes happened to meet Li Muxuan.

Time.

The air came to a standstill.

In the end, it was Li Muxuan who took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Under Li Muxuan, come here to participate in the assessment."

Looking at the white-haired boy in front of him, Li Muxuan put down his luggage and saluted with his hands in fists.

He had recognized who this man was.

It is one of the ten future bosses in the Inhuman World, who is nicknamed Lu Jin, who has been flawless all his life.

At the same time, because he is a more famous character in the comics, Li Muxuan still knows more or less about his life, such as the most classic sentence, I killed the old master.

Of course.

After all, laugh and laugh, don't take Lu Jin seriously, and don't take the Eight Wonder Skills of Tongtian.

Although he is often deflated, his record is slightly stretched.

You can look at the entire Inhuman world.

Lu Jin's strength can at least squeeze into the top 20.

"In Xia Lu Jin, like Brother Li, he also came here to participate in the assessment of Trinity Gate."

Lu Jin spoke.

"When I first arrived, I didn't know anything about it here."

Li Muxuan followed the conversation and asked, "Dare to ask Brother Lu, what are the rules of this lower courtyard, and what do you need to do every day?" ”

In fact, for the assessment of Trinity Gate, he already knows what is going on after reading the comics, but if everything is known, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

"There are no special rules."

Hearing this, Lu Jin said frankly: "Here every day is to do the work of cleaning and washing. ”

"Then prepare the daily firewood and water for the use of the mountain."

Between words.

The two of them turned their eyes to the rows of large water tanks on the side.

Roughly calculated by Li Muxuan.

There are three rows of water tanks, each row of five, which adds up to fifteen.

It doesn't sound like much, but it doesn't fit the size of a tank, and it takes at least thirty buckets of water to fill one tank, or four hundred and fifty buckets to fill it all.

But fortunately, Trinity doesn't look at strength when it comes to accepting apprentices.

These water tanks are not placed here to squeeze child laborers in the lower yards, but as part of the assessment.

In the middle of my mind.

A panting sound came.

"Whew... Whew..."

Li Muxuan turned to look.

I saw a little fat man in a white shirt and black suspenders walking into the door, carrying a bucket of water with two big hands, and swaying to the water tank.

Then he lifted the bucket above his head.

There was a bang.

The clear spring water is poured into the vat.

When I was done, I seemed exhausted.

The little fat man's body trembled, and one staggered to the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing that he looked like he was about to die of exhaustion, although he was not familiar with it, Li Muxuan still asked with concern: "It doesn't matter if this brother is okay, right?" Do you want to call the senior brother at the door to come and take a look? ”

"No... Out of the way. ”

Hearing this, the little fat man hurriedly waved his hand, "I'll just rest for a while, don't bother Senior Brother." ”

Seeing this, Li Muxuan didn't say anything more.

After all, people don't care.

Which onion is he?

Ask him to be nosy here.

At this time, Lu Jin stood up and introduced the two of them: "Brother Li, this is Brother Liu Deshui Liu, I have only done some of the work here, and most of it was done by Brother Liu." ”

"Brother Liu, this is Brother Li Muxuan Li, just like us, they all came to Trinity to participate in the assessment."

"I've seen Brother Liu."

Li Muxuan clasped his fists and saluted the other party.

"You're welcome."

Liu Deshui struggled to get up and salute back, and then said straightforwardly: "Thank you Brother Li for your concern just now." ”

"But I don't have any other good qualities as a person, what I am best at is strength and perseverance." As he spoke, he raised his clenched thick fist, as if he was full of energy.

Li Muxuan nodded.

As a traverser.

He still knows a little about Liu Deshui in front of him.

After all, the other party is one of the thirty-six thieves in the future.

Although in the comics, Liu Deshui did not enter the Trinity Gate in the end, this does not mean that the other party can't do it.

It can only be said that the other party is not suitable for Trinity and one door.

It's like sending liberal arts students to the Olympics.

Let the athletes delve into history.

What Liu Deshui is good at is strength and perseverance, which are indeed called advantages, but the Trinity Gate is obviously more focused on ingenuity, or most of the Xuanmen are more ingenious.

"Like Liu Deshui, it is really more suitable for practicing horizontal kung fu."

Li Muxuan secretly said in his heart, but he did not persuade the other party to give up the idea of worshipping the Trinity Gate.

After all, he and the other party have only known each other for a long time.

Interpersonal communication is the most taboo, and the words are shallow and deep.

If you say too much, it will make people think that you have bad intentions and other plans.

Moreover, as long as a normal person has self-esteem, who wants to admit that he can't do it? Who can accept that they can't hear from other people?

Push yourself and others.

No one likes to be denied by others.

That's it.

After greeting Liu Deshui and Lu Jin for a few words, Li Muxuan didn't say anything more.

After turning around and putting down the luggage, he began to join the ranks of the two of them fetching water and chopping firewood, until the sun set, and the people of Sanyi Gate took away all the water tanks and firewood before returning to the room to rest.

And in the process.

As a traverser, Li Muxuan naturally knew that the assessment of Trinity Gate was focused on observing whether they were sincere.

And he can wrap himself up with that.

is just like Li Muxuan in the comics, packaging himself as a sincere person like Lu Jin.

Now he only needs to package himself a little deeper, pretending to be the original 'evil boy' of 'Li Muxuan', so even if Trinity Sect sends someone to his hometown to do a background investigation, he will probably be able to pass this assessment.

However, Li Muxuan did not do this.

It's about following your heart.

Rest when you're tired.

Drink water when you are thirsty.

When you have the strength, you keep working.

The main one is a casualness.

Although the behavior looks no different from Li Muxuan in the comics, it is actually very different.

The predecessor was deliberately disguised as a sincere gesture to cater to Trinity and Zuo Ruotong.

Now Li Muxuan is really being himself.

Even if this sincerity and sincerity are inconsistent with previous acts in the eyes of others, it is bound to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

But Li Muxuan still decided to be himself!

In his opinion.

It is easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive people.

As a traverser, from God's perspective, it is not difficult to deceive Zuo Ruotong in this assessment.

But it's not about whether it's hard or not.

It's about whether you should or shouldn't.

It was true that he wanted to get in touch with the cultivation methods of this world, but his cultivation experience in his previous life made him understand.

The ultimate goal of monasticism.

It's truth-seeking.

If it's truth-seeking, why do you have to fake it now?

Isn't that a sacrifice of the basics?

That's why.

Li Muxuan chose to follow his heart.

As for whether the Trinity Gate will accept him or not.

That's Zuo Ruotong's business.

Anyway, he won't disguise himself for this and pretend to be 'sincere' in the eyes of others.
