Episode 1 Chaos Thunder Chapter 10 Four Elephants
Fang Jue got up and saw an old man and a woman staring at him, his head woke up, he quickly got up, grabbed his hand, and couldn't use any strength.
"Forget it, I'll do it. Xingchuan couldn't stand it anymore, and went into battle in person without saying a word.
Fang Jue looked at the scrawny old man, shook the handrail with one hand, turned it a dozen times, and a wooden bucket of water was lifted up from the well. Then, with a gentle pat, the barrel flew up, and the water poured out, and then, Xingchuan stretched out his head vigorously, and the water slapped on his face. Hoshikawa shook his head in relief, like a dog coming ashore after falling into the water.
"Huh. Comfortable. "Hoshikawa Road.
Fang Jue was not surprised, everything here was strange and amazing, the strangeness of this ancient well naturally complemented the old man's strangeness, so he had no feeling, and looked at the old man Xingchuan indifferently.
The dark curtain in the sky has been lowered, the stars in the mountains are shining, Fang Fang said goodbye: "Uncle Xingchuan, then I'm leaving, tomorrow the sect will hold the funeral of Uncle Sixiang." I have to go back. Then I'll take care of him. ”
"Hmm. Go ahead. Throw this kid to me, I promise to 'take care' of him, hehe. Hoshikawa laughed.
Fang Fang said again: "In the future, you will follow Uncle Xingchuan, if you want to listen to him, do you know?"
Fang Jue saw that her tone was gentle, and with concern, and his heart was warm. nodded and said, "Thank you, senior sister, for sending me over." He actually wanted to ask if he could meet her again, but then he thought that he was a fairy, and he was a mortal, so why bother. So I didn't go any further.
Fang Fang turned into a streamer of light and disappeared in front of Fang Jue and the others.
Xingchuan then said: "That guy Liuxuan threw you to me, it's really my wish, I am really short of people here, and finally send me a helper." I tell you, if you want water, dig it from this well, and this well will be your exclusive use in the future, and no one will rob you of it. ”
Fang was speechless.
"Go out along this stone path, three hundred meters away is my exclusive territory, of course, it is a vegetable field, and it will be under your control in the future, whether you want to plant rice, vegetables, in short, you can grow something that can be eaten. When I'm old, I have to refine medicine for those turtle sons, and I have to farm and take care of my own food and clothing. You're here, and you've been a huge help. ”
Fang Jue just listened to him talk endlessly, and he didn't speak.
"There is a pigsty next to the vegetable field, I usually raise pigs, open some meat, as for other poultry and livestock, I don't have time, one is too busy, two is lazy, if you are interested, I don't mind you raise some chickens, ducks and geese or something to improve the food." You must know that a radius of fifty miles is the territory of my alchemy pharmacy, and no one will come in. You can build whatever you want, but you can build it hard. ”
Fang Jue nodded again and again, noting down his future work, and he had a sense of foreboding. But this path was chosen by myself, and I didn't complain when I thought about it.
He hadn't eaten all day, and Fang Jue's stomach was already growling. He remained silent, trying to control his facial expressions so that no one knew that he was hungry.
"By the way, from this moment on, you have to take care of all my food and daily life, such as making a fire to cook, boiling water, laundry, and cleaning. ”
"But that well ......" Fang Jue just wanted to say that the water in that well was too heavy for him to fight.
"Figure it out for yourself, everything here can be used. All right. Now I'm going to go in and refine the medicine. You can get to work. With that, the old man Xingchuan went back to the house. Leave Fang Jue messy in the mountain wind at night.
Now 16 years old, in the past 16 years, he has never done housework, let alone farming, raising pigs, flowers and grass.
But now, the mere matter of fetching water has stumped him.
The hand of the well weighed as much as a thousand pounds. He is a mortal body, what should he do?
Fang Jue thought about it and shook his head again, although he knew that the Tianjian Mirror was in his body, he didn't know how to urge him. Although an important function of the Tianjian Mirror, learning, or copying, can help him acquire the skills that the old man Xingchuan said. But only if someone demonstrates it.
Xingchuan threw all his brains to him, he didn't even have a demonstration, and he couldn't learn it, whether the Tianjian Mirror had other functions, Fang Jue naturally had no way to know, and he couldn't even take the initiative to urge the Tianjian Mirror to appear.
Fang Jue tried many times in a row, grabbing and shaking his hand and pulling hard, pressing hard, lifting hard, and not moving. Until I was tired again and lay down, it was already late at night, and the night in the mountains was bright and starlight, but it was bitterly cold.
The shadows of the bamboo leaves swayed in the moonlight.
Unconsciously, Fang Jue fell asleep by the well, shrinking his body. The next day I woke up by the well. Two pink petals fell on his face and he woke up ticklish. When the sky is shining.
Fang Jue suddenly sat up, and the scene in front of him completely shocked him. The emerald green bamboo forest I saw yesterday has turned into a mountain full of peach trees, and the peach blossoms are full of branches, and the mountains are all pink, magnificent and dazzling.
Looking at the old wells, thatched houses, cobblestone paths, shelves and dustpans next to it, nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is that the bamboo forest has become a peach forest.
He was determined. Tell yourself: "This is the Sword Sect, this is the place for cultivating immortals, nothing is impossible." This must be the Immortal Law. ”
Less than two days after I came here, I saw a lot of strange things, and my mood was settled, and I no longer panicked.
It was almost dawn, and he actually slept by the well all night. Suddenly, I found that there was an extra blanket made of mountain animal fur on my body, and when I got up, I slipped to the ground.
He picked it up, his heart warmed slightly, and he thought, that old guy still knows how to care about people, and then he thought, why don't you ask him to go back to the house to sleep when he cares about people?
Trembling, a few dews dripped on his head, Fang Jue touched it, and with a flash of inspiration, he ran to a peach tree and shook it, and sure enough, all the water droplets on the tree were ticking down, and there were quite a few.
Fang Jue became excited, ran to another tree and shook it, and large droplets of water fell like rain. He hurried back to the courtyard and brought the wooden basin, found some dense branches, put them below, and shook it, and sure enough, there was a lot of dew in the wooden basin. Because the wooden basin was too small, a large area of dew was wasted, but fortunately, the mountain was full of peach blossom trees, and little by little it accumulated in a short period of time, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
He trotted briskly with a wooden basin with most of the dew, but because he was too excited, the road was slippery, and he slid on one foot, pounced on the dog and ate, and the water was all spilled. Angry that he stomped his feet again and again, but there was no way, so he repeated the trick, and accumulated most of the dew again, this time, he became cautious, walked slowly, and brought the wooden basin to the door, and there was a handkerchief on the clothes pole outside the thatched house, and he also found it.
It had actually taken an hour, and the sky had suddenly opened up, and in the distance, red clouds were rolling and the sun was shining on the earth.
Hoshikawa woke up, stood at the door, and stretched. Discover the mirror-clear water in the tub at your feet. Puzzled, he frowned, squatted down, touched it lightly, it was cold, and muttered, "Where did the stinky boy get the water?"
He washed his face with water, shook his head comfortably, screamed comfortably, put down the washcloth, went back to the house, took out a steamed bun from a bag and nibbled on it, and sighed: "Bear with me, this kid must have been a nerd who read dead books before, and he couldn't do any work, hey, let's wait for Fangfang's stupid girl to come to the rescue." ”
Looking at the dried steamed buns in his hand sadly, Fangfang, who Xingchuan was waiting for, did not come, and he started another day's work.
Fang Jue walked along the cobblestone path in the peach blossom forest, holding his stomach, dizzy with hunger, the thatched hut had disappeared into the dense forest, and in order not to get lost, he also left marks along the way.
As he walked, a field appeared in front of him, and what made him stunned was that where there were any crops here, it was a vacant land, this wasteland was overgrown with weeds, and where was the vegetable field that Xingchuan said? Fang Jue smiled bitterly, this old man is afraid that he hasn't planted and cultivated for a few years, right?
There was indeed a pig shed next to the field, but of course, there was not a single hair in it. Not to mention pigs.
Fang Jue searched on the ground to see if there were some wild vegetables or something, but they were indeed weeds, and they were not edible at all, Fang Jue faintly saw red objects in the weeds, and when he opened them, they were scattered red fruits. He had never seen a fruit before, and it was smaller than a strawberry.
There is also sparkling dew on the red fruit. Fang Jue picked one off, wiped the water on his waist, licked it tentatively gently, the skin did not have any taste, and tentatively and gently punctured the epidermis with his teeth again, in order to avoid accidental poisoning, Fang Jue immediately left the fruit, a stream of red juice soaked out along the small mouth, and licked it tentatively again, the sweet feeling was frightening, and the taste was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
I'm already hungry.
Fang Jue put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and then slid it into his stomach, and his stomach was cool and cool.
"It seems to be an unknown fruit. It tastes so good. Fang Jue picked a few more, and ate more than ten in a row, and the feeling of hunger in his stomach decreased by a few points. Finally got some strength again.
He picked some and prepared to take them back to at least satisfy his hunger until he had enough ingredients to make a fire for cooking. But when he went back, he had not taken a few steps, and the fruit strangely dried up, and finally turned black.
"It turns out that these fruits cannot be preserved. Fang Jue looked at the faint cherry red in the ground, and could only give up this thought. Then he thought, "Anyway, this land is mine, if you are hungry, just come and eat." So he went back.
He poured out the washing water in the basin left by the old man in Xingchuan, and when he entered the house, Xingchuan was busy in full swing, adding firewood to the Ding furnace, and cutting herbs or something, Fang Jue couldn't understand it when he first came into contact, so he returned to the well and began to shake the hand of the dry well.
He had to pass this level.
One morning, nothing worked. Tired again.
It was when he was resting by the well, the wind and clouds began to change, and some dark clouds appeared in the sky that was still shining with the sun, and a gust of wind blew, which made Fang Jue shocked again.
The gorgeous peach blossom forest, as if by a small wind lifted off the clothes, the peach blossoms quickly fell from the peach tree, with the wind drifted away, in an instant, a new red maple forest will be the four elephant peak reflected red.
It suddenly changed in front of my eyes. It's maple grove.
What we have seen in the past two days has surpassed all the views of the absolute world in the past, and the worldview has been shattered and reassembled.
"Stinky boy, look at what, bring me that dustpan. ”
"Oh. Fang Jue pointed to the largest dustpan and asked, "Is this it?"
"Yes, bring it. ”
Fang Jue hugged the dustpan over, and the medicinal herbs in the dustpan exuded an unpleasant bitter smell. He tilted his head and said, "Boy, what are you doing, this is all good medicine, the best medicinal materials, and he still looks disgusted." ”
Fang Jue asked, "Teacher, why are these trees ......?"
"Four elephants. That's how Sixiang Peak came. Bamboo, peach, maple, withered. The previous owner of your divine sword, a legendary figure of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and one of the four gentlemen of Xuantian in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, this mountain was opened up by him. ”
"It's amazing. Fang Jue sighed, and had more respect for the four elephants in his heart, "What kind of tree is that?"
"It's a dead tree. Everything is withering, life is dead. ”
