Chapter 24: What a coincidence
Yinshi, also known as Pingdan, Ridan. It is the most solid and stable time for the little people to sleep in the night. After another hour, the sky will dawn, and people will wake up from their sleep one after another to start their day's work.
But in Qingluo Mountain, just after the end of the hour, two teenagers put away their sleepiness and prepared to slowly touch the top of the mountain.
Wang Fugui yawned again and again, obviously the two of them took turns to take a half-hour nap, and he was still a little unfinished.
Mo Shiping on the side also yawned a few times, but he was in a good mental state. In the past, when he was in Big Turtle Mountain, at this point in time, he should almost wake up.
Wang Fugui suddenly thought of an interesting thing, so he took the initiative to say: "Hey, Mo Shiping, I have heard the old man say before, saying that this yawning is actually contagious, and when a person yawns, the people next to him will involuntarily yawn." Looking at it this way, it really makes some sense. ”
Mo Shiping scratched his head and thought about it, indeed, he was obviously not sleepy, but he unconsciously yawned after Wang Fugui, which was strange.
However, the two of them naturally don't really delve into this issue, and it should be just a joke to dispel sleepiness.
Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui were not in a hurry, but discussed it first. Wang Fugui and Mo Shiping both felt that if they went up the mountain along the bluestone slab road built by the Imperial Spirit Sect, it would be too blatant, and there might be how many pairs of eyes were staring at them in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move. And their points are still quite high, so they don't need to risk their lives, they just need to try to avoid unnecessary accidents.
Therefore, the two decided to go up the trail for the first climb, and when they reached the open position near the top of the mountain, it was almost time to light, and then it was also the time when the competition for points was at its most intense.
So, Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui each broke a sturdy branch as a trekking pole and began to go up the steep slope.
After walking for a while, Mo Shiping, who was walking in front, suddenly frowned, his trekking pole touched a small pothole, and this pothole happened to be covered by scattered leaves, which was not easy to detect.
Mo Shiping stopped, squatted down to remove the covered leaves, carefully surveyed the small pothole, determined that it was not a naturally formed pothole, and then sighed helplessly.
Wang Fugui naturally stepped forward to check, his face was a little strange, how did this familiar pothole look like a trap he dug before.
Wang Fugui scratched his head, looked a little uncomfortable, and said with a weak heart: "It can't be the pit I dug before, right?
Mo Shiping raised his head and looked around, shook his head, and replied softly: "No, we didn't walk here when we climbed the mountain before. There must be someone else who has thought of the same method as you. Anyway, we should be careful, maybe he just hid nearby. ”
When Wang Fugui heard this, his expression immediately became vigilant, pondered for a moment, and then suggested to Mo Shiping next to him: "This should be the first pit dug by that person, it is unlikely that he will stay here, it should still be ahead." But if we continue to go like this, the enemy will be dark and we will not know the specific number of people on the other side, which will only be more disadvantageous. How about I deliberately pretend to step on a pit and roll down the hill to lure the snake out of the hole?"
Mo Shiping's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was a good plan, so he immediately echoed, and then discussed a few small details with Wang Fugui, and then quietly hid in the bushes on the side.
Then Wang Fugui deliberately rolled down the steep slope carefully for a distance, covering his body with dust, which was quite embarrassing.
"Oh! help!" Wang Fugui lay on the ground, pretending to be in pain, and shouted for help.
Mo Shiping watched quietly from the side, a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he secretly admired in his heart: This Wang Fugui's acting skills are really amazing, and he acts well.
A moment later, there was a sound of small footsteps on the hillside, and a tall young man appeared in Wang Fugui's field of vision.
"Huh?"
Wang Fugui stopped his cry for help and looked stunned for a moment. This boy is no stranger to him, it is the tall boy who stepped on several pits in him during the first round of trials. Wang Fugui still remembers that this tall young man kicked him down the steep slope with a kick, if Mo Shiping hadn't pulled him, he would probably have rolled all the way to the middle of the mountain, and life and death were unpredictable.
The tall young man naturally saw Wang Fugui lying on the ground and couldn't move, and he was also stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth involuntarily pulled up a sneer. He went straight to Wang Fugui's side, squatted down, and deliberately joked: "It's not that the enemies don't get together." You say, how could such a big Qingluo Mountain run into you again by such a coincidence?"
Wang Fugui looked flustered, a cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he replied hesitantly: "This big brother, you... Why did you do that?"
The tall young man is not in a hurry to deal with Wang Fugui, in his eyes, Wang Fugui is still a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board, and he still wants to play more.
The tall young man glanced at Wang Fugui, who seemed to be frightened, and said with a sneer: "Didn't I learn from you? If you are not insidious and cunning, how can you have a chance to become a disciple of the Imperial Spirit Sect?" You are not bad, and you have even reached the third round. But looking at your cowardice, I'm afraid you only have one point, right?"
Wang Fugui nodded again and again, then rolled his eyes, and said flatteringly: "Big brother, what you said is right." A person like Big Brother who is good at using strataggering will definitely be one of the last twenty people. But big brother, the more fierce the competition becomes, and a person like Big Brother who is single-handedly may not be able to take advantage. Otherwise, big brother, I'll help you with advice, before and after the saddle, all the points you get will go to the eldest brother, I don't want any points, I just ask the eldest brother to let me go. ”
The tall boy frowned and thought for a moment, thinking that this suggestion was not bad, and said to himself: "I really can't get points alone, and one more person may be of some use." ”
At this time, Wang Fugui, who heard the key news, was in a hurry, but he didn't show it, but asked in a low voice: "Big brother, did you really break into here by yourself?"
The tall young man glanced at the young man lying on the ground with disdain, and replied coldly, "That's nature. ”
Wang Fugui was determined in his heart, and since he got the answer he wanted, he would no longer continue to pretend.
So, Wang Fugui gently pinched the tip of his nose with his right hand, and said with a smile: "This big brother, I'm really sorry, I didn't make two things clear to you just now." ”
"What's the matter? What tricks are you going to play?"
"The first thing is that I have more than one point, my name is Wang Fugui, and I am really on the list, and my points are full of eighty-five points, you can check it. ”
The tall young man took out his jade slip suspiciously, sensed it for a moment, and suddenly smiled, looking at Wang Fugui with a happy face, his eyes were like a strong man who had been hungry for three days saw a table of meat, full of greed that could not be concealed.
The tall boy never expected that what he thought he was harvesting was a mosquito leg meat, but it turned out to be a big fat sheep. At this moment, he has already regarded Wang Fugui as his great fortune star, good guy, and directly sent eighty-five points to the door.
"Hahaha. Wang Fugui looked at the tall young man who was suddenly overjoyed and almost drooling, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Well, the second thing I haven't said yet, that's... I didn't come here alone. ”
The tall young man was visibly stunned, and then slowly turned his head to look, and he finally realized something.
I don't know when, a young man quietly stood behind him.
"Smack!" Mo Shiping's right hand lightly pressed on the tall boy's shoulder, and then said softly: "Honestly hand over the jade slip and go down the mountain." ”
The tall young man's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness, and he was just about to turn around to resist, but at the same time, a strong pain came from his shoulder.
Naturally, Mo Shiping increased his strength slightly.
"I'm convinced!" the tall boy frowned in pain, shouted loudly, and then immediately let go of his right hand, and a jade slip fell from his palm to the mud.
Wang Fugui's eyes were quick, he picked up the jade slip with a smile, pinched it in his hand for a moment, but his face gradually became embarrassed.
"What? Five hundred and sixty-three, Zhou Tiezhu, points... One point?!"
The tall young man named Zhou Tiezhu nodded honestly, a little crying without tears, he carefully dug pits and waited for others from the beginning of the third round, and waited patiently for so many hours, only waiting for these two people, and as a result, he also pitted himself, which made Zhou Tiezhu really unacceptable.
"That's it, a point is a point. Wang Fugui shook his head helplessly and comforted himself.
After spending so many twists and turns, planning in detail, and acting so hard, he only gained a mere one point, which also made Wang Fugui a little unacceptable.
"Okay, you can go, and don't do these immoral things in the future. Mo Shiping let go of his right hand on Zhou Tiezhu's shoulder and admonished.
Zhou Tiezhu immediately nodded, stood up quickly, and didn't have time to pat off the dust behind him, so he hurried down the steep slope to the bottom of the mountain, for fear that Wang Fugui would turn on another young man and avenge his original revenge.
However, it was indeed Zhou Tiezhu who thought too much, because Wang Fugui didn't think about revenge on him at all. If it was Wang Fugui in the past, he would not let go of Zhou Tiezhu easily when he had the opportunity, but since he met Mo Shiping, Wang Fugui himself didn't find out, and he quietly underwent some inexplicable changes.
For example, the current Wang Fugui will not retaliate against Zhou Tiezhu, because Wang Fugui himself also feels that it was he who dug the pit in front of him to incur Zhou Tiezhu's revenge, and it is reasonable to come and go. However, this does not mean that Wang Fugui is a good talker. That young man named Yuwen Cheshui, if there is a chance, Wang Fugui will definitely take revenge without hesitation. Of course, there are also those who forced him to be cornered in the first place, and he will not let go. If someone bullies him, he will double down on the bullying back. If someone treats him well, he will double it back, this is the truth that Wang Fugui believes now.
...
At this time, Yuwen Cheshui, who was walking alone in the mountains and forests, was thinking about whether to simply go to the dojo on the top of the mountain and wait, and when the time came, he would beat one away. It's just that Yuwen Cheshui dispelled this idea after thinking for a while, for no other reason, just because it was too boring.
Suddenly, Yuwen Cheshui, who was covered in a black robe, stopped, and a middle-aged man in a white sword stood quietly beside him.
"Second uncle, is there something wrong?" Yuwen Cheshui frowned lightly and asked. Obviously, the boy didn't like to be disturbed at this time.
The white-clothed swordsman looked a little solemn, and said in a deep voice, "It's time for us to return to Dongsheng Shenzhou." I just received a jade slip from the family, your brother Yuwen Jinshan, who was defeated in the recent battle for the same realm. ”
"Impossible!" Yuwen Cheshui's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out.
The white-clothed swordsman, who was the second-in-command of the Yuwen family, just sighed softly and didn't say much. Not to mention that Yuwen Cheshui didn't believe it, even he didn't believe it. But in the jade jian, it was his brother, the current patriarch of the Yuwen family, who told the news himself.
At this moment, Yuwen Cheshui looked hideous, clenched his fists tightly, and said word by word: "That guy, how can he lose... How can I lose to someone other than me?"
The white-clothed swordsman paused for a moment and continued, "So, we should also return to the clan earlier, and you can also embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible. After all, in this world, there are people outside of people. ”
Yuwen Cheshui frowned, pondered for a moment, and replied, "When the third round of trials here is over, we will return to the Eastern Earth Divine Prefecture." ”
"Oh, why?" The middle-aged man was a little strange, he had always thought that Yuwen Cheshui had fun participating in these trials, but now the middle-aged man felt that it was not just because it was fun.
Yuwen Cheshui gently tugged at the corners of his mouth and explained, "There's another very interesting guy, I haven't fought him yet." ”
The white-clothed swordsman frowned slightly, in a small place like the Southern Regions, there was actually a young man who made Yuwen Cheshui find interesting. That young man must have an unusual background.
However, the white-clothed swordsman did not object, so it was up to Deyu Wen Cheshui to make trouble. After all, it's just a mere southern region, except for a Wei Li who can see it, who else is worthy of him handing over a sword? Besides, even if that young man really has something to do with Wei Li, is the Yuwen family behind him just a decoration?
Yuwen Cheshui looked up at the east, and it was always difficult to accept that his brother Yuwen Jinshan would be defeated, because his brother was known as the first person of the younger generation of Dongsheng Divine Continent, and he had always regarded his brother as an opponent who had to be defeated on the path of cultivation.
"Is it really a battle of the same realm?"
"Well, it is said that it is a young man who calls himself the Red Wolf of the Flame Calamity, and he is also in the Six Realms. ”
...
At the foot of Qingluo Mountain, Wang Fuyun was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he fell asleep on the bluestone mountain road unconsciously.
At this time, Wei Li, a national teacher in a black robe, quietly appeared in front of him, gently took off the black robe, and covered the little boy.
Wei Li stopped, looked up at the bright moon in the dark night, and said thoughtfully: "The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of mortals. ”
He began to understand a little why the old Confucian had been obsessed with that little bit of fireworks in the world.
