054, the dilemma of less work (I)
In the dining room, there were a number of low tables made of rough wood, each with ten wooden piers made of tree stumps, and people living in the same large room ate around the same table, with their own rice bowls in front of them. I saw Pan Gu also squatting on the wooden pier, grabbing the edge of the table with his two front paws, and almost the whole dog's face stretched into the rice bowl, gnawing on the meat and bones, not to mention how fragrant it was!
The disciples of Wufuqiu may not have seen such a scene before, looking at Pan Gu and looking at each other, some even forgot to eat their own things. At this time, the junior fourth elder had already settled down the affairs on the side of the Ascending Peak, and took two accompanying disciples with long swords to inspect the situation of each peak, and walked into the canteen and shouted: "What do you see, haven't you seen a junior disciple with a surprisingly good appearance? Eat your own food!"
With so many people gathered together to eat meat, the scene is really extravagant, according to Dajun's private introduction, this meal today is particularly rich. There are more than 300 people on Wufu Hill, and everyone can eat a meal of meat every three days, which is also very surprising. However, Wufu Hill has five full peaks, there are jungle beasts in the mountains, and the disciples have also opened up fields, planted crops and raised livestock, and are completely self-sufficient in their livelihood. The most important thing here is strong labor, and everyone has all kinds of skills.
The tempting aroma of meat wafts on the mountain peaks, and it makes people want to drool when they hear it from afar. While eating, Huwa found that some people were quietly carrying their own bread and fleshy bones into their arms, and many people had prepared a kind of sun-dried leaves in advance. This leaf is produced in the mountains, it is very large, the texture is a bit like a lotus leaf, it does not seep water or oil, and it is suitable for wrapping meat.
Hanxiong asked Dajun, "Senior brother, what are they doing?"
Dajun laughed quietly: "The canteen on Wufu Hill can be opened to eat, and all the disciples eat a lot, but they can only eat here and can't take it out, otherwise they will be punished." But today is the winter solstice, and the day is very special, and many colleagues from various sects have gone up the mountain. Wufuqiu did not receive them, it was an opportunity for everyone to make friends. Take some bread and meat out, some of them even prepare wine in private, and find a place to invite three or five initiates in the evening, and light a bonfire to talk. ”
So that's the case, no wonder there is a lot of meat today. As he spoke, Dajun also felt a stack of dried leaves in his arms, and it turned out that he was also going to pack something and take it out. Hanxiong leaned over and said, "Senior brother, can you lend me a few too?"
Dajun wondered, "You just went up the mountain today, why do you want to join in this fun." Who do you want to befriend?"
Han Xiong said with a smile: "I'm not going to make friends with anyone, I'm going to Wufu Hill with someone, and there is a girl with me, I can't let the girl's family get cold and starve on this high mountain in the middle of the night, right? ”
Dajun's eyes widened and said, "Little junior brother, you really have two hits! On the way to Wufu Hill, you have already caught a female cultivator from a certain sect." What kind of girl's house is it, can you introduce it to my senior brother?"
Hanxiong hurriedly shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about it, Senior Brother. You'd better be busy with something else. ”
Xiao Jun said with a smile on the side: "Senior Brother Dajun, like many senior brothers, claims that the happiest thing on Wufu Hill is to be able to live on the Fire Peak, and to be able to eat with all the female senior brothers and female junior brothers every day. ”
Dajun glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Senior brother, the reason why I have that kind of thought. It's because the disciples of the Fire Peak make the greatest contribution to the sect on weekdays, and of course I want to contribute more to the sect!"
The disciples on the Grinding Sword Peak are almost all sturdy men, and they are engaged in various kinds of labor on weekdays. I also have to practice such a kung fu as Kaishan Jin, and the amount of food is of course amazing. And for today's dinner, it is estimated that most people have not eaten much. For most of the bread and meat were picked up and taken away. The three days from the beginning of the winter solstice every year are also equivalent to the festival of the disciples on the Wufu Hill.
When I returned to my respective quarters after eating, the sun had set, but the sky on the high mountain had not yet completely darkened. Tiger Baby was almost the last to leave the cafeteria, because he had to wait for the pang. And Pan Gu ate all the contents of the basin, chewed and swallowed the bones, and burped several times with satisfaction.
When Huwa walked out, she vaguely heard Uncle Agen, who stayed in the canteen, as if talking to himself: "The annual day to make friends with fellow believers from all factions is a rare opportunity. But for miscellaneous disciples who have not yet achieved kung fu, it is best not to join in the fun, otherwise they will have to practice again after playing for three days and once their hard work is relaxed. ”
......
Hanxiong also went out late, and when he saw Xiaojun finish eating, he followed. Seeing that no one was paying attention in private, he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Xiaojun, why are you here?"
Even if no one heard him left and right, he was still careful when he spoke, calling Shaowu Xiaojun. Xiaojun replied: "I have been here for three years, and the eldest in the family knows it. I'm very concerned about what news the people who have come up this time have brought to the mountain, I wonder what you have heard in the country of Bamuro?"
Hanxiong shook his head and said, "I told my father that I want to travel and practice, and I will also go to Wufu Hill to open my eyes." My father told me that if I could stay in the mountains and be a miscellaneous disciple for a year, then I would really be able to grow my skills. If there's something going on at home, he'll send someone to inform me. It's been more than half a year since I left Changlingmen, and nothing special has happened at Bamuro National High School. Even if there is one recently, I haven't heard of it. ”
Xiaojun couldn't help but be secretly disappointed, the other person was on the Wufu Hill, and he had actually been waiting for the news of Bamuro Kunichu. The secret envoy of the father's queen faction should have come, and according to the original agreement, he was mixed in with this year's group of people who went up the mountain. The envoy will arrange for him to return to the country of Bamuro, and then he will be succeeded as the new king.
When he left Bamuro Country three years ago, Houxiao's physical condition was still a top secret in the country, and few people knew about it at the time, but Shaowu was definitely clear. However, his father asked him to stay away from the national capital, and even left the Bamuro country, and ran to the Wufu Hill as a miscellaneous disciple, and asked him to climb the main peak as much as possible to meet the sword sage himself. It's a pity that three years have passed, but he has not been able to do it!
Now that the appointed day has arrived, Shao Wu can no longer stay on the Wufu Hill, even if he does not fulfill his wish, but the state affairs are important, he has to return to the country according to the original plan. When he saw Hanxiong, he thought that Hanxiong was the messenger sent by his father, but he didn't expect Hanxiong to stay as a miscellaneous disciple, and he didn't expect his judgment to be wrong.
Xiao Jun didn't say anything, and asked again, "Senior Brother Hanxiong, why are you walking so fast, why are you in a hurry?"
Hanxiong: "Didn't you just say that there is a girl's family in my companion this time, and I have to take care of it." ”
Xiao Jun snorted: "Heavy color and light friends!"
Hanxiong said with a big grin: "How can I, Hanxiong, be a person who values sex and ignores friends? That girl is also my friend, and I have been taking care of her on the mountain for these two days, so won't I eat and live with you every day in the future?
At this time, Huwa led Pan Gu from behind and said, "Hanxiong, don't worry, Miss Xiao Sa knows that we are on the Grinding Sword Peak, and she will definitely come over." If you wander around the mountain, you may get off the road, just wait on the other side of the rope bridge. ”
Hanxiong: "There are two rope bridges on this mountain, where am I waiting?"
Huwa: "We came from the side of Chopping Wood Peak, and she also saw it, if you really want to find you, it is estimated that she will come from that side." ”
Hanxiong: "Do you want to go along?"
Huwa shook her head with a smile and said, "I won't go, the responsibility of taking care of Miss Xiaosa and accompanying her to play in Wufu Hill will be handed over to you." I'll go back to the house to rest for a while, and by the way, I'll ask Senior Brother Xiaojun about many matters on the Wufu Hill. ”
Hanxiong listened very well, so he ran to the bridge leading to the wood-cutting peak and waited for the little sprinkler girl, he brought not only bread and meat, but also a thick coat that had been turned out of the luggage, and also took away the newly collared bedding, saying that he would find a place to sit at night, otherwise the cold in the mountains would be too heavy.
The rules of Wufuqiu are very interesting, on the day of the winter solstice, the monks of various sects who go up the mountain to join in the excitement are not allowed to step into the residences of the disciples, so as not to disturb everyone's cultivation, and Wufuqiu does not care about eating or living. But the more than 80 people who came to the mountain today are not unreceiving, and the disciples of Wufuqiu can greet and make friends on their own.
So these days the mountain will be very lively, such a big mountain, there are many suitable places for camping, everyone get together in twos and threes, find a sheltered place under the mountain rock, light a bonfire to talk about anecdotes from all over the world, and exchange cultivation experience.
When Joon returned to the house, everyone else was gone. He didn't go to join in the fun because he had something on his mind, and Hou Li's secret envoy should be on the mountain, but it was not easy to find each other after dark. He planned to turn back and forth a few more times on the four rope bridges that circled the mountain tomorrow, waiting for the secret envoy to appear. He was very worried that if the envoy did not come, it was very likely that the situation in the country would change, and he would return home on his own in three days.
Xiao Jun was sitting alone on the bed silently thinking about his thoughts, and the tiger baby walked in. Before the tiger baby entered the door, she had confirmed that there was no one else in the courtyard, and left the pan gourd at the door, and if anyone came in, she would call out at any time.
There was no light in the house, the light was dim, and when the tiger baby walked in, she was holding an object in her hand. The object gradually shone brightly, shaking Xiaojun's eyes. Xiao Junmeng looked up and saw the thing in the hand of the tiger baby, showing a look of surprise and joy, and then stepped forward to bow to the ground and wanted to salute.
This is a great gift for him to meet his father, because what the tiger baby is holding in his hand is the token of Hou Li, which is equivalent to Hou Li's own visit. The tiger baby cast a small spell to make the token glow, and only Shao Wu could see it at the moment, without saying a word.
Seeing that Shaowu wanted to kneel and worship, Huwa hurriedly put away the token to support him, and whispered in a divine voice: "Senior Brother Xiaojun doesn't need to be polite, I am entrusted by others to have something to say to you." (To be continued......)
