Chapter 265: Competitiveness
That night, Ren Xiaoyao was the east, and Nangong Xi, Lu Zhengtong, Zhang Wangxi, Mo Xingxing and several others were entertained.
During the banquet, Nangong Xi and Ren Xiaoyao told everyone some rules and recent news on the rivers and lakes to cheer everyone up.
When the banquet was about to disperse, Ren Xiaoyao said to Nangong Xi again:
"Master Nan, my beloved disciple Shui Zhongyue will be handed over to you, but you can't make any mistakes on the road. ”
In a burst of laughter, everyone said that there was no problem, to ensure the safety of the Water Woman. Through this banquet, everyone's friendship was also increased.
The next day, Gu Shuzi, Wei Chi Xinfeng, Che Heng and Ren Xiaoyao said goodbye to the group members and returned to the place they were going to without mentioning it.
Let's say that these five people, under the leadership of Nangong Xi, went all the way to the west.
In the first two days, Mo Xing wanted to establish prestige in this collective, find a sense of existence, often point fingers, and had disagreements with Nangong Xi, but everyone was like leaving him, not saying that he was good or bad, he felt more and more estranged from several other people, and he also restrained a lot.
Everyone had a quiet time.
On this day, the five of them traveled west along a small river, saying that it was a small river, but in fact, the water potential was not small, that is, during the dry season, the water potential was much larger than that of ordinary small rivers, but to say that it was a big river is not in line with the facts.
The five of them came to a fork in the road, two roads ahead.
To the left is to continue walking along the riverbank, and after 500 meters in front of the river the river turns a corner, and you can't see what is going on in front of you.
To the right is a wide gravel road, and not far ahead is a hill with a temple in the woods.
Follow the general direction and look at the signs to the west. Everyone was a little tired, and they didn't know how far they had to go before they had a place to eat, Nangong Xi stopped here, he wanted to send someone to inquire and then act, he hesitated for a while and said:
"Now there are two paths, and I'm not sure which one is better. Now the important thing is that everyone is a little hungry and tired, so the most important thing is to find something to eat first. Which of you is going to find something to eat to satisfy your hunger?"
Mo Xing looked at the left and right roads and the situation ahead, and he also echoed:
"Nan Zhangmen is right, there is a temple on the right, but where there is a temple, there are often people not far away, and it should not be a big problem to go there to find something to eat. ”
Basically, every time he talks and arranges things, the first one to stand up is always Zhang Wangxi. Zhang Wangxi is his apprentice, and of course he must be the first to stand up in this situation. This time, Zhang Wangxi raised his head and replied:
"Master, I'll go. Wait, I'll go find something to eat. ”
"We'll wait for you at the bend in the creek ahead, you go and come back quickly, everyone is hungry. ”
Nangong Xi gave another advice when Zhang Wangxi was about to set off.
"I'll go with Zhang Wangxi. ”
"I'm also going with Zhang Wangxi. ”
Just when Zhang Wangxi was about to leave, Mo Xingxing and Lu Zhengtong both said that they would go with Zhang Wangxi.
Nangong Xi thought that the three of them would also have a companion, young people like to be together, and the old man of me all the way, they felt restrained, which was equivalent to giving the three of them a fake, he nodded with a smile.
The three of them happily walked towards the stone road on the right. Nangong Xi did not forget to give another exhortation in the back.
Nangong Xi and Shui Zhongyue continued to walk towards the river on the left.
Let's say that the three of them finally have an opportunity to be free and completely relaxed in the past few days, and of course they will not miss it.
The happiest one along the way, the one who talks the most, and the one who has the most ideas is Mo Xingxing, the one who talks the least is Lu Zhengtong, and Zhang Wangxi is in between.
The three of them approached the hill and looked up, and saw that the temple was in the middle of the hill by the river, and the distance was only fifty meters, but standing at the foot of the mountain, if you want to see the temple, you need to look up.
The main road does not lead directly to the temple, but goes uphill from the foot of the hill on the right side of the hill.
This time I can see clearly, the temple is 400 meters uphill from the foot of the mountain, and to go up to the temple, it is all uphill, but there is really a faintly visible path to go up.
The path was lined with weeds and bare branches, with the occasional bush of thorns and a few pines.
Mo Xingxing had a whim, to go around the slope from the right side of the mountain, and go to the temple to see once, and then pass horizontally, the distance between the two is not too big, it is better to go to the temple first, and then pass.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find something to eat at the temple. He also has a little personal idea, let the three of them set off at the same time, and he can also test which of the three has better internal strength and light body kung fu.
Seeing Zhang Wangxi walking towards the right road, Mo Xingxing stopped him:
"Brother Zhang, Brother Lu, stop. ”
The two stopped their feet and looked at him together, Zhang Wangxi asked:
"What's the matter, Brother Mo, have you discovered any new world?"
Because along the way, Mo was happy to say a lot, and there were often new discoveries and opinions.
"What did you discover the New World? I mean, we don't necessarily have to go to the mountains to find something to eat. ”
Lu Zhengtong also felt strange when he heard his words, and asked with a smile:
"You can find food on the other side of the mountain? Can you find food in this barren mountain and wilderness? Brother Mo, don't be kidding, let's hurry up, there are still an old and a young waiting for us to find food. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not talking nonsense. Mo Xingxing pointed to the temple on the mountainside, "Don't you two see? There is a temple on the mountain, and there is always a Bodhisattva in the temple, right?"
"What does it have to do with the presence of a bodhisattva in the temple and our search for food? ”
Zhang Wangxi urged.
"You don't understand that. The bodhisattvas in the temple really have something to do with our search for food. Mo Xingxing smiled slyly, "We don't have anything to eat, there are always people to worship the Bodhisattva in the temple." ”
"The bodhisattvas in the temple may have eaten better than us, and the offerings in the temple were more than the fruits we had eaten during this time. Isn't this going to Guanyin Bodhisattva's birthday? I guess that there are fasting meals and fruit offerings in this temple, and if we take them back, they won't be able to eat the same. ”
After listening to his words, the two remembered that it was really going to be Guanyin Bodhisattva's birthday.
It is really unclear whether there is fasting and fruit offerings in the temple. If everyone walks less, Nanzhang and Shui Zhongyue will also starve less.
The two of them looked at Mo Xingxing, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, whether to go or not. Go ahead, but I'm afraid that there is nothing in the temple, so I run in vain, and if I don't go, if there is something in the temple, I will miss it, and I don't know how many more roads I have to walk to find something to eat.
Zhang Wangxi looked at him with suspicion and said with some concern:
"It's okay to go, but if there is no food, wouldn't we have made a detour, then the master and Shui Zhongyue won't have to wait for a long time before they can eat. ”
"You didn't look closely. You see, the way we're going is going uphill from here, it's a slope road. And we go straight up to the temple, and then go horizontally, which is a right angle, although it is a little farther, it is not much. What's more, when we arrive at the temple, we will go through the road and converge with the road we are taking, which is a flat road, which will be more labor-saving. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a windfall?"
Mo Xingxing pointed to this triangular route and mobilized the two young heroes.
The two looked up again in the direction of Mo Xingxing's finger, and felt that they couldn't make much of a detour, so they said in unison:
"Okay. Let's try our luck. ”
"It's been a long time since I've moved my muscles, so it's okay, the three of us set off from here at the same time to see who arrives first. Whoever arrived first would not be allowed to take anything when he returned, and the two who arrived later would take it back. ”
Lu Zhengtong and Zhang Wangxi haven't had this kind of strength for a long time, and everyone is young, and they all have a competitive and competitive mind and a desire to surpass others. Especially the person who won today, he has been able to blow in front of the moon in the water for many days, and when it comes to kung fu in the future, the other two will only have envy.
Once again, the two said in unison:
"Okay, let's do it. ”
"I'll shout slogans, give orders, and we'll get started. ”
The three of them stood on the same starting line.
Mo happily shouted:
"Three, two, one, let's go!"
The three of them shot towards the temple like arrows from the string.
