Body 13 The truth of tribulation
When the sun's rays shone on the cliff path again, Zuo Hu had already desperately moved the stones all night. The black dust on his face was soaked in sweat and turned into a thin layer of mud, which pasted on the cheeks of the originally handsome man. The clothes were also soaking wet and emitted a faint stench.
Now Zuo Hu is like a little beggar who has been wandering for half a year. The whole person is full of exhaustion and haggardness.
However, the stones in the pass seemed to laugh at him for the uselessness of all night's work, and they were still piled up.
But he can't stop, because there is still a chance, plus today, there is still a three-day deadline, and last night's time was squeezed out by sacrificing rest, as long as you grasp it well in the next three days, and strive not to waste a minute or a second. It will be possible to complete this disciplinary task.
Zuo Hu decided to fight for his breath, not for anything else, but for himself, but he was crying and shouting that he wanted to come to Chiba Palace. Isn't it just to fight for breath here? If you admit defeat now, you might as well die!
He gritted his teeth, got up from the stone where he had rested, and buried his head again.
But a mortal, whether he is courageous or ambitious, is only a mortal after all.
The body is not made of iron, and the strength will always run out. Zuo Hu moved for a day and a night, and finally couldn't support it anymore, and fell asleep in the dark night and quiet moonlight. It is more correct to say that he passed out from overwork rather than that he was asleep. Because when he woke up again, it was noon on the third day of the mission.
When Zuo Hu opened his eyes, he saw that there were three busy figures on the far mountain pass road helping him carry the mountain rocks, and he was lying among the flowers far away, and his body was carefully covered with a blanket. At first he thought he was dreaming. Hurriedly got up and looked.
But it was Xiang Ning, Liu Rui and Qin Ke who came to help him!
"You ......" Zuo Hu said happily, but he didn't know what to say, and he was really grateful in his heart, because this task could not be completed by him alone. Without spirit stones, no one would come to help him work for no reason.
However, I really answered that sentence, and adversity saw the truth. At a critical time, you have to rely on these brothers and sisters!
Xiangning was struggling to move a stone, and her originally delicate face was dirty. Hearing Zuo Hu's voice, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and ran over. He said happily, "Zuo Hu, you finally woke up, but it scared me! You know? You slept for two days and one night." β
Zuo Hu was shocked, "What? Isn't it the last day today?!"
Xiang Ning smiled, "Yes, but don't worry, with the help of Brother Qin and Miss Liu, it will be completed soon, you see, there are not many mountains and rocks." β
Zuo Hu took a closer look, and sure enough, he had opened up a lot, especially with Qin Ke's help from the monks of the fourth layer of the Qi Condensation Period, it was really very relaxed. Zuo Hu woke up and Qin Ke didn't care, and with a light pick of the long sword, the large stone was cut open like tofu, and then Liu Rui, a monk of the third layer of the condensation period, swept it with his palm, and the fine mountain stones were divided to both sides, and it was really much faster than what he did with brute force, and there were only two or three zhang of distance at the end of the road crossing, and there were big mountains and rocks blocking the way.
Seeing Qin Ke and Liu Rui working so hard to help, Zuo Hu's heart warmed. secretly thought, although Qin Ke and Liu Rui are a little unkind, they have such good hearts. It seems that sometimes things judged by eyes are not necessarily true, and Master Lan Bing must also know that he can't finish it, so he deliberately released water and asked them to help secretly. If you can't get along with him, you only need to send a minor monk to supervise it, and he will only move it himself, and he can't finish it. Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that there were still many good people in the world.
"Thank you!" shouted gratefully to Qin Ke and Liu Rui's busy backs.
Qin Ke turned his head, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Come and help, I'll go back to cultivation after I'm done." β
Liu Rui also looked back at him, but did not speak.
"Oh, good!" Zuo Hu happily responded.
Xiang Ning stared at him quietly and said, "Is it really okay?" Don't be too reluctant......"
"It's okay, how can I watch people help and rest by myself, don't worry, I'm full of energy now!" Zuo Hu smiled, and then went to move the stones.
Xiang Ning hurriedly said behind her, "Don't worry, let's move together." β
In this way, Qin Ke and Liu Rui cooperated in the front to remove the larger boulders, and Zuo Hu and Xiang Ning moved the broken stones together in the back to tidy up the sunken road. The four of them cooperated with each other to finally make the road reveal its original appearance before the sun went down. It is a cliff sandwich road that leads directly to the glyph gate.
Fortunately, it was done at the specified time, Zuo Hu and Xiangning wiped the stains on their faces and smiled at each other. Look at Qin Ke and Liu Rui spotlessly. In the same way, the one who cultivates to a high level is more relaxed.
Coming to Qin Ke and Liu Rui, Zuo Hu smiled. I didn't have much intersection before, but this time I suddenly helped myself so much, and I really didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Zuo Hu said, "Thank you so much, you helped me so much, I saw that there was a wine shop in the city, why don't I come to the east, please go to have a meal, Liao express your gratitude, how about it?"
Zuo Hu looked at them eagerly.
But they didn't seem to be that interested.
At this time, Xiangning approached. said, "You'd better do it another day, if you're dirty, let's go to Lingquan Mountain to freshen up." Then go to the transaction sect and finish the task. so as not to delay the deadline. β
Qin Ke has always had an indifferent look, and Liu Rui is even more indifferent.
Zuo Hu heard that what Xiang Ning said made sense, so he said, "That'...... I have to change the day, what about tomorrow?" looked at Qin Ke and asked.
"It's better to be exempt, Master Lan Bing wants us to retreat for a month starting tomorrow. That meal is still provincial, if you want to thank you, thank Xiangning!" Qin Ke smiled coldly.
With that, he turned around and flew away, followed by Liu Rui.
"Hey......" Zuo Hu wanted to catch up, but was pulled by Xiang Ning. "Leave them alone, let's just walk slowly behind. β
"But I really want to thank them......
Xiang Ning chuckled, "Both of them are cultivation madmen, how can they spend more time eating." I want to thank them, there will be opportunities in the future. β
Zuo Hu nodded, "Well, that's right. Suddenly remembered something, "Yes, they didn't lift the ban, so flying back will be stopped by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
Xiang Ning smiled, "Don't worry, the Wudong we went to find when we came asked for a map and a ban." You don't have to worry about it. β
Zuo Protector breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, so that's ......"
Xiangning smiled, affectionately hugged the arm of the left guard, and clinged to people like a bird. "They don't have time for you to have a dinner, I have, I want you to invite. Also, the first day Lan Bing told us a lot of things, you weren't there, I didn't hear it. The master knows that we have a good relationship, and asks me to take the time to tell you again. Why don't we find a place to eat and talk after we have been to the Affairs Sect?"
"That's it!" said Zuo Hu, grinning happily.
The two of them flew back together. Go to Lingquan Mountain to freshen up a little, and then hurry to the Affairs Sect. By the time they arrived at the Sect, the warm afterglow of the sun had already sprinkled the earth. Entering through the door, I met a middle-aged monk with a goatee. It seems that they are the seniors of the affairs sect, and the two of them hurriedly make a fuss. The man asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"
"We're looking for Senior Brother Wudong. Zuo Hu said.
The man said. "Wudong has other business and hasn't come back yet, tell me something. β
"Oh, that's right, I just finished my mission, come back to say hello, and return the ban. Left Guardian took out the token and handed it to the man.
He took the token and said, "Then give me your to-do list." β
Zuo Hu was stunned, "List? Master Lan Bing didn't give me a list......
When the man heard Lan Bing, he nodded understandingly, "It turned out to be Lan Bing's person, I know, you come with me." β
After that, he walked into a room with Zuo Xiangning. I saw that the spacious room was full of jade slips, scrolls, and book books. In the center of the room was a bronze mirror the size of a grinding disc.
The man closed his eyes and stared, and suddenly with a wave of his fingers, there was a whoosh sound, and a jade slip automatically flew to him, and with a wave of his hand again, the jade slip flicked into the bronze mirror and disappeared. The bronze mirror flashed, and the picture appeared, which was the mountain pass that Zuo escorted them to carry the boulder and cleaned up.
The man stroked his beard and said, "Well, that's a good job. With another wave of his hand, the picture disappeared, and the jade slip flew back into his hand, he walked to a table and spread out a blank scroll, and pressed the jade slip lightly, the jade slip disappeared, and a red complex rune appeared on the scroll. Turning back to greet Zuo Hu, "Come, just sign your name on it." β
The left guard signed, and the man put the scroll away, "Alright, your mission is done." β
"Thank you, senior!" Zuo Hu and Xiangning saluted happily.
Then, with a sense of relief, he left the affairs sect.
Xiang Ning looked at Zuo Hu with a sweet smile, "Congratulations, you successfully completed the task." Zuo Hu also smiled, now that he has finished grooming his body, he has no burden in his heart, and he suddenly feels refreshed. "Thank you for that, say, what do you want to eat?"
"There's no hurry, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with Purple Maple City first, and Master Lan Bing took us to familiarize ourselves with the environment on the first day. As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Zuo Hu, "This jade slip is the domain boundary map of the Chiba Palace, from the location of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range to the walking route of the various buildings in Purple Maple City, all of which can be found inside, just put your consciousness into the jade slip, we don't have a sense of consciousness yet, and it may be difficult to check it, but it would be good to concentrate more energy for a long time." β
Zuo Hu frowned and rummaged through the jade slip, and integrated his consciousness into the jade slip according to the method that Xiang Ning said, at the beginning, a chaotic picture appeared in his mind, and then as he became more and more engrossed, he actually saw clearly, it was a map marked with the names and directions of densely packed buildings.
Rubbed his somewhat swollen skull.
"This Purple Maple City is really not small, just looking at the complexity of the map, one head is two big. β
I don't have time to go shopping, so let's find a place to practice. Left Guardian thought to himself.
The two of them walked along a main street, and when they passed a pavilion, Xiang Ning stopped.
"This is the Refining Pavilion, if you want to build a blade, you can spend the corresponding spirit stones, you can build it, or you can bring your own materials, so it can be cheaper. However, at present, there is no need for us to build blades, and it is strictly forbidden to fight to the death in Purple Maple City. β
The two continued to walk on the shopping street, and when they passed by some important buildings, Xiang Ning would explain something.
"This is the Dan Room, the pills refined in the Dan Valley will be regularly transported to the Dan Room in the area under the jurisdiction of the Eight Great Gates, there are sixteen Dan Houses in our Tianzimen area, distributed in the sixteen main streets and alleys, new disciples or dead people, every month will receive a bottle of a total of thirty Quenching Pills for free, we can use this maple leaf mark to receive. β
Xiang Ning said and took out a white maple leaf embroidered with heavenly characters and handed it to Zuo Hu.
Zuo Hu had read in the classics that the Quenching Pill was a kind of elixir specially used for the pure body of monks in the condensation period, which helped to break through the bottleneck and complete the advancement. When I was in the Xianyang Sect, this kind of elixir was bought for the cost of spirit stones, but I didn't expect that the Chiba Palace would give it away for free every month, so many new disciples, thirty pills per person, together it is also a lot of expenses, and the Chiba Palace is really profound. If you want to come to that Dan Valley, it must be a place dedicated to refining pills. On the map, Dangu is located to the north of Chiba Palace, bordered by the Dark Sect to the west and the Genji Gate to the east.
"In addition, we can also receive ten basic spirit stones in the Spirit Stone Xuan every month. β
"What are the Basic Spirit Stones?" asked Zuo Go.
"The so-called basic spirit stone is something that every monk member of the Chiba Palace can receive every month, and it is used to absorb spiritual power for cultivation, or to purchase income, as well as private trading. But except for the basic spirit stones. Monks can also go to the Sect to receive the task list, and earn extra spirit stones by completing the tasks on the task list, or they can apply to accept the secret quest of the Dark Sect, and once completed, they can get higher rewards. β
Xiang Ning paused and continued.
"However, it's best for us not to receive the task at the moment, even if the task is on the task list of the transaction sect, it is quite difficult for us, and if we don't get it right, it will be dangerous. Master Lan Bing suggested that our new immortal pawns cultivate first, and then have the opportunity to accept the task later. β
After listening to such a speech, Zuo Hu gained a lot. It turns out that the immortal cultivators in the Chiba Palace have such a life pattern, and using this method of getting rewards as long as they pay, the immortal cultivators have formed a good cycle with the overall operation of the Chiba Palace. It's the same thing as getting paid for your work in the mortal world and then using money to support your family.
It's just that the difference is that mortals need gold, silver and jewelry, immortal cultivators need spirit stones and spiritual objects, mortals pursue promotion and wealth, and immortal cultivators pursue the way of immortality.
I often hear people say that to cultivate immortals, we must cut off the mortal dust and abandon the six desires; now in Zuo Hu's view, it is not all right, it is this or that desire that makes the immortal cultivator stand out in the mortal dust.
Zuo Hu thought about it, and unconsciously, the two came to a pavilion that looked like a wine shop, and there was a big plaque on it, depicting gold and silver, and writing the three big characters of Tianxianglou.
"The place to eat is here, let's go inside. Xiang Ning smiled brightly, and on the first day, the master also brought us here and ordered some dishes that we had never heard of before. Don't look at it as just a restaurant, there is also knowledge in it.
Looking at Tianxiang Tower, Zuo Hu suddenly remembered, when he first entered the palace, he saw that there was a wine shop, and at that time he also asked the black-shirted leading messenger, the immortal cultivator is not keen on grains, how can there be a place to sell wine and meat in this Purple Maple City? At that time, the leading envoy also sold Guanzi, saying that someone would tell us in the future. At this time, when he heard it, Lan Bing seemed to focus on explaining the place of eating to his apprentices, and he knew that there was indeed knowledge in it.
So, with the incense condensing into the door.
As soon as he entered the gate of Tianxiang Building, Zuo Hu smelled the aroma of delicious food, but in addition to the aroma of vegetables, Zuo Hu also felt another thing.
Very strong spiritual power is mixed with these fragrances.
"What are these dishes made of, and how can there be such a strong spiritual power?"
Zuo Hu asked Xiangning in confusion.
"Let's find a seat first, the meat of the lotus dace here is very delicious. β
Xiang Ning easily found a table by the window and sat down with the left guard.
The tables, chairs and benches in Tianxiang Building are clearly planned, there are a few tables of monks who are eating and drinking, and the innermost is a slightly higher railing with steps, and there are pots and stoves arranged in turn from the inside to the outside, and several cooks are busy in full swing.
There was a tall counter table in the corner of the dining room, and a green-robed monk stood up from the chaise longue and greeted Xiangning and Zuo Hu with a smile.
"Why, little girl, it's time again. He smiled and said to Xiang Ning, obviously recognizing her.
Xiang Ning smiled and said hello, "Yes, your food here is so delicious, I really want to come every day." After that, he introduced to Zuo Hu, "This is the shopkeeper Lu." Zuo Hu also said hello quite respectfully.
Shopkeeper Lu looked kind and smiled.
"Hehe, okay, there's a recipe on this wall, you can order whatever you want. β
Zuo Hu asked Xiang Ning to order a few dishes. I also ordered a few. Tired and hungry these days, he felt like he could eat a whole cow.
Handing the list of orders to a young man who was serving food, Zuo Hu began to look at the place that looked like a mortal restaurant. From the second floor, you can also see the figures of several chefs below.
From above, you can clearly see the cook's every move, so if you look closely, Zuo Hu has found a clue.
There was nothing under the stove to start a fire, and the flames steamed at the bottom of the pot out of thin air, and the cooks seemed to be controlling the size of the flame with their palms.
"They actually use their spiritual power to turn into flames to cook food!"
Zuo Hu couldn't help but exclaim.
"These cooks are not ordinary people, and each of them has the cultivation of the foundation building period. Xiangning said.
"Monks in the foundation building period, why don't they look for a place to cultivate, but they are willing to be a cooking cook here?"
Zuo Hu asked puzzled.
Indeed, as long as there are some qualifications and opportunities for people who embark on the path of cultivating immortals, they will not give up the path of pursuing cultivation, and use all possibilities and time to do things that will help them improve their cultivation.
Xiang Ning smiled and shook her head, they also asked Lan Bing this on the first day.
"This is a misunderstanding, whether a monk's cultivation is improved or not is not directly related to the length of the retreat, the improvement of cultivation lies in the use and refining of a monk's spiritual power, you see those cooks, they use the flame generated by the spiritual power to cook food, and constantly convert the spiritual power into flames, which is conducive to the improvement of their own cultivation. In addition, they will also receive task rewards in the affairs sect when they are cooks, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. β
"I see!" Zuo Hu nodded clearly.
In the past, Zuo Hu always believed that the only way for a monk to cultivate was to take a panacea and practice in retreat, but hearing this today, I have indeed gained insight.
During the conversation, Zuo Hu saw a cook put a white strange fish with a lotus flower on his head on the cutting board and began to peel the scales.
"What kind of fish is this, and why does it look like this?"
"Oh, it looks like they're starting to cook the dishes on our table, that is the lotus dace, this kind of carp is born with spiritual power, and the lotus dace can live for more than a hundred years without enlightenment, once the spiritual wisdom is opened, this fish can practice spells, swallow the essence of heaven and earth, and become a demon. Therefore, the carp of this lotus dace contains very rich spiritual power, and the higher the age, the more great the tonic for the monks. β
"No wonder as soon as you enter this Tianxiang Building, it is filled with such a rich spiritual power, it turns out that the ingredients they use to cook are all natural treasures! However, such a spirit fish fairy beast is very difficult to catch, how did they get it in the restaurant?"
"The shopkeeper of the restaurant in Purple Maple City will spend spirit stones to submit a task list to the Affairs Sect, and the Affairs Sect will appoint the monks who apply for the task to go out of the city, or go out of the palace to hunt, and the spirit beasts obtained from the hunting will be purchased by the major restaurants and listed as their own ingredients. The hunter gets a reward from the sect, and that's it. Xiang Ning replied, she Bingxue is smart, and in just a few days, she has figured out some basic matters.
Hearing this, Zuo Hu secretly admired Chiba Palace, no wonder Chiba Palace You can become the dominant sect of Tailuo Kingdom, such a method of governing the sect is really quite strict.
In fact, Zuo Hu made a bit of a fuss, most of these survival systems are borrowed from mortal cities, and immortal cultivators have also come out of the human world, and they have an indelible human imprint. No matter how far they cultivate, their hearts are always human, and they can never get rid of the seven emotions and six desires that people have. As long as they have human hearts, they will do similar things to human beings.
It didn't take long for the food they had ordered to be served.
Steamed dace, stir-fried rainbow beans made with the meat of the Yueshan antelope, soup stewed with Hanaxian chicken and ginseng bamboo, and red bean cakes made with chestnuts grown in the fairy land.
Looking at this delicious taste with both color and fragrance, you can know that these masters who have cultivated for the foundation building period are not only cultivating to obtain, but even this cooking skill is not simple!
Left guard tasted a piece of fish.
The meat is smooth and tender, and melts in your mouth. After the food entered the abdomen, a strong spiritual power spread to the chest and abdomen and spread to the whole body, making Zuo Hu feel at ease all over his body, moving stones, and quickly replenishing the energy expended.
Sure enough, it's a good thing!
Zuo Hu didn't care about the image of the big flowers, and Xiangning also tasted it with a happy face, and took a bite of ginseng and bamboo soup.
It was a pleasure to eat.
After drinking and eating, Zuo Hu felt that his whole body was hot. It's as if the meridians of the whole body are swimming spiritual power!
Xiangning drank tea, and Zuo Hu was still eating fried rainbow beans.
"Zuo Hu hasn't eaten enough, do you want to order a dish for you again?"
Xiang Ning joked with a smile.
"Well, I'm full, this meal is so comfortable!"
Zuo Hu stretched and leaned comfortably in his chair, making Xiangning giggle.
"Zuo Hu is really useless, like a hungry ghost reincarnated yes, hehehe...."
"You're a hungry ghost, it's really delicious, I really didn't expect that immortal cultivators can also have such a mouthful." Originally, I thought that the path of cultivating immortals was very bland, but I didn't expect to be able to taste such a delicious taste. β
Xiangning wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and smiled.
"Zuo Hu doesn't just learn to eat, I'm bringing you here today in the hope that you can learn more about the real life and cultivation of immortal cultivators. At present, we are all at the initial stage of the Qi Condensation Period, and the highest level of cultivation is the fourth layer of Qin Ke's Qi Condensation Period. The main cultivation task of the Qi Condensation Period is to exhale spiritual power, and to put it bluntly, it is the stage of accumulating spiritual power. Whenever the spiritual power in the meridians is saturated, the so-called bottleneck is encountered, and the way to break through the bottleneck is to advance, and the process of advancement is the process of condensing the meridians and being reborn. Therefore, if you want to advance during the condensation period, you must continue to accumulate spiritual power in your body. β
After that, the palm of her hand flipped over, and at some point, there was an extra jade slip in her palm.
"This is the practice of washing the marrow and Naling, the master wants me to hand it over to you, among the four of us, only Qin Ke is practicing his own family exercises, if you also have your own exercises, you can also not practice the marrow washing Naling in this jade slip. β
Zuo Hu took the jade slip of the Na Ling Mind Method.
He felt that it didn't matter, his cultivation was only one layer of the Qi Condensation Period, and in order to find a suitable cultivation method for himself, the mental formulas he practiced were too complicated, and it was rare to have a more specific practice to provide, so why not accept it.
Xiang Ning said, "Master Lan Bing wants us to practice and retreat on our own, and we will see obvious progress after a month. She also said that time is pressing, and in two years, she will enter the Purgatory Valley for elimination and cultivation, and those who are eliminated will be sent to the border mountain range: so the reality is still very cruel. The left protector should be careful. β
When he heard Purgatory Valley, Zuo Hu's face changed slightly.
Sure enough, there is a place called purgatory, and two years is both long and short. You have to have a good performance to not be eliminated. Seeing Zuo Hu's distraction, Xiang Ning knew that he was also worried about it. comforted, "Don't worry too much, in two years, there will always be all kinds of opportunities waiting for us." β
Left Guardian nodded.
After he was full of wine and food, he paid two spirit stones.
and incense condensed out of the Tianxiang Building.
"How are you going to plan this month? Zuo Hu asked.
"I'm ?...."
Xiangning lightly tapped her chin with her fingers, pretending to think. "I'll cultivate with you. β
"What? If you follow me, won't you become my follower?!"
"You're just with the fart, people can't think of how to plan for a while, so they just partner up with you...."Xiangning pursed her pink lips.
"Okay, seeing that you are so pitiful, let you partner with me, but don't disturb my cultivation. Zuo Hu put on the appearance of a big brother teaching a little sister, and said proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes. If I don't disturb the hero's cultivation, you can reluctantly help the little girl!"
"Well, okay, let's go, let's open a cave retreat in the wilderness. β
Xiangning nodded happily.
The left guard was holding a jade slip in his hand, which was the jade slip that Lan Bingtuo Xiangning had given him to use to receive the pills and spirit stones of each month in the Danfang and Lingshi Xuan. Retreats require these things to complement each other.
"Let's go and get the basic spirit stone and pill first. Zuo Hu said.
Xiangning shook her head and said, "I've already received it, you can go, I'll go to the outskirts of the countryside to choose the retreat cave first, and I'll send you a message after choosing, come quickly." β
"Okay. β
The two went their separate ways.
Danfang and Lingshixuan were very close to each other, and the province ran more, and the left guard received a bottle of quenching pills and ten top-grade spirit stones.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the Dan room, he happened to meet Qin Ke who came out of Lingshi Xuan.
Zuo Hu greeted him with a smile. "Hey Qin Ke, it's such a coincidence.... I just had a big meal with Xiangning in Tianxianglou, and I knew that you hadn't retreated yet, so I called you together. After that, he put his hand on Qin Ke's shoulder and showed closer. Zuo Hu really wanted to make him a friend.
But he didn't think that Qin Ke would retreat back and take a step back. The hand that left the protector wanted to get close to, pounced. The smile froze.
"Stay away from me, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, light!" Qin Ke said coldly,
Zuo Hu was stunned for a moment, but still smiled, ".... Don't be like this, we're all brothers in the same sect. Besides, you have helped a lot, and I should thank you..."
"Help, I'm not so idle!If it weren't for Xiangning giving me and Liu Rui a hundred spirit stones, I wouldn't have bothered to go!" Before Zuo Hu finished speaking, Qin Ke sneered and pushed him away and walked away.
His face stiffened slightly, and he let Qin Ke push himself forward. The smile has not faded, and it looks a little desolate. "It turns out... That's it...."
........
After Xiang Ning chose the cave house, he sent a message to Zuo Hufa. But when it was dark, he walked slowly.
Xiang Ning grinned and stepped forward and gave him a small punch. "You're really unpunctual, no wonder the master wants to punish you. ~ I found two adjacent caves, it's very good!" She said to herself, but she didn't realize that Zuo Hu was in a depressed mood at this time.
"I was punished by the master, and you look down on me, don't you?!" Zuo Hu's voice was a little hoarse, and there was a hint of resentment in asking.
Xiang Ning was taken aback. It was originally a joke, but after listening to Zuo Hu's words, he took it seriously. He hurriedly smiled and said, "No... No.. I didn't mean that, I.. Just kidding. β
"You didn't look down on me, did you pity me?!" Zuo Hu asked again with some aggressiveness.
Xiangning felt that something was wrong. Zuo Hu is not the kind of person who can't joke, something must have happened.
So he timidly asked, "You... What's wrong?
"What's wrong? You spent two hundred spirit stones to ask those two people to help me, keeping me in the dark like a fool, making me naΓ―ve enough to think that they were really here to help! Overestimating your own personality charm, you still ask me what happened?" Zuo Hu laughed miserably.
Xiang Ning was stunned. immediately woke up, and secretly blamed Qin Ke and Liu Rui for not keeping his word, and obviously promised himself not to be publicized. She knew that Zuo Hu had strong self-esteem, and if she wanted him to know that she would spend spirit stones to help him, there would definitely be a psychological burden, so she concealed it.
"So that's it, but it's nothing... I just want to help you. β
"If I hadn't helped you, would you still help me?.... Do you want to repay the favor as soon as possible so that you can get rid of my waste? If so, I don't need to!"
After listening to such heartless words, Xiang Ning was also angry in her heart, and she kindly helped him, but she helped out the sin. So he puffed up his little face and said, "I don't bother to repay you! I lent you the two hundred spirit stones, but I have to charge interest!
Zuo Hu was agitated by Xiang Ning's anger, but he came to his senses.
I have no reason to lose my temper at Xiangning. The reason for the gaffe is just that I am too inferior in my heart.
hurt the only person who really helped him, and felt a little remorseful in his heart, and couldn't help but give himself a slap, "I really deserve to fight!"
After a long time, Chong Xiang Ning Cave Mansion cautiously shouted, "... I'm sorry, Xiangning...."
In fact, Xiang Ning had been peeking at Zuo Hu through the crack in the cave door, and when she saw that he had given herself a slap in the face, not only was her anger gone, but she was also a little distressed. After waiting for a while, I opened the door again and walked out slowly. Came to him and looked at Zuo Hu with resentment.
"I'm sorry, I..." Zuo Hu lowered his eyebrows and apologized again.
"Alright, alright... There is no need to apologize .... How can there be such a stupid person, hit yourself yourself...."Raised his hand and stroked his left cheek.
"Don't do this again in the future....", Xiang Ning gently admonished. I don't know if he should stop beating himself in the future, or stop treating other people's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs.
Zuo Hu just nodded hurriedly, "Hmm...."
Xiang Ning smiled, "Go back to the cave mansion to cultivate, see you in a month." β
"Hmm...," Zuo Hu replied again, "You go back first." β
Xiang Ning smiled, turned around and went back to the cave, closing the door. Zuo Hu stood silently at the door for a moment, and smiled.
I figured it out. In life, it is impossible to make everyone like you, but as long as there is one person who is sincere to him, this is enough.
He turned around and entered the cave next to him and closed the door.
