Chapter 2, Three Teenagers
After two hours of internal strength cultivation, it was late at night, and Yu Ping was lying in bed, which was his father Yu Xiangshan confessing to Yu Ping, even if he entered the sect, this worldly internal strength could not be left behind.
The moonlight shone in through the wooden windows of the back wall from the trees, and the simple objects in the house were faintly visible;
In addition to the sound of mosquitoes outside the house, there is also the sound of snoring on the left and teeth grinding on the right, which is very clear in Yu Ping's ears at this time, as if it is directly imprinted in his brain.
Yu Ping couldn't sleep for a long time, and when he opened his eyes, it was a dark roof, and after looking at it for a long time, it was as if he was going to press it down, Yu Ping turned over and rolled into the quilt.
More than two months ago, when Yu Ping was assigned to Luoya Mountain by the hall master called Xu Ping'an by the miscellaneous service hall, he was still uneasy in his heart, and he thought that this hall master was deliberately recruiting himself or the horse gang, and he had nothing to do with this high-ranking foundation building master, so at most, it was because of the horse gang, because Yu Ping clearly heard in the miscellaneous service hall that the teenagers in front of him were directly arranged in the guest room to wait for the test, and he had to accept the labor task before he entered the sect.
When he came to Luoya Mountain, there were already two teenagers here who came here before him, one was a tiger-backed bear-waisted, wearing a brown animal skin vest, and a dark red nameless pebble hanging from his neck, Zhang Hu who showed a mouthful of tiger teeth when he smiled;
There is also a Wang Bao who looks like a thin bamboo pole, and the appearance of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills is worthy of the weak wind, and I heard them say that there are many people who are waiting for the test at the foot of Zifeng Mountain, not far from here, who are also working harder, and even harder.
When Yu Ping came, there were three small wooden houses side by side, and Zhang Hu and Wang Bao lived at each end, leaving the middle.
After living in it, Yu Ping understood why the two of them wanted to leave the house in the middle, and Yu Ping was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but later found that as long as there was noise, as long as he used the family heirloom internal skills, his heart was peaceful, and he was no longer affected by the outside world;
Zhang Hu came from Blackwood City, which is next to Qingshan City and separated by several cities, and I heard that it is the closest to the Hengduan Mountain Range, but Yu Ping has never been there;
Wang Bao is from Qingshan City like Yu Ping, but Wang Bao is in Qinghe Town, his family is very poor, and he has become an orphan, but he was recommended by a monk of the Luoxia Sect in the world.
Three teenagers of the same age, no outsiders, living under the same roof, naturally became familiar quickly.
Wearing shorts, animal skin vest, thick legs and thick arms, Zhang Hu is the same year as Yu Ping, but he is a head taller than Yu Ping, plus the thick voice and simple appearance make it easy to think that this is a tall and brainless teenager, then it is wrong, at least Yu Ping thinks that Zhang Hu is a brave and resourceful person who speaks more decently, which should be done and what should be said are very natural and crying, of course, this is also a person worth befriending, Yu Ping can feel the sincerity from his eyes;
Wang Bao is not simple, the perennial begging life made him contact with the worldly people too early, although he looks like a monkey, he is not a reckless person, but knows how to be grateful. Although the strength is a little smaller, it is also rushing to work.
All three of them can understand the purpose of coming here, and what they are doing here.
When a trace of red light burst out of the darkness, Yu Ping opened the wooden door on time, at this time the morning sun seemed to rise from a very distant plane, but so close, and gentle, shining in this cloudy and misty valley scenery like extraordinary, the morning sun is like a giant sword swept away, the fog is like a beast rolling and struggling;
After a while, there were two squeaks of the wooden door, "Brother Ping, Huzi, thin monkey." The three of them greeted each other, which was the name of the three people after they got acquainted, and they seemed to be much more affectionate, and they were also like three small trees vigorously welcoming the morning dew.
Zhang Hu rubbed his hands, as if he could hear the sound of his hands full of cocoon flowers rubbing, "I'm sorry Brother Ping, I guess I didn't let you sleep last night." Looking at Zhang Hu with broad eyebrows and a broad face and a simple smile, he couldn't help but smile.
Wang Bao also came over, "What kind of dream did the tiger spirit have last night!"
"No, it's just that I dreamed that there was game to eat today. Why do you skinny monkey snore so hard?"
"Hahaha!"
The three of them talked and laughed and walked to the small medicine garden under the residence.
Taking care of a small medicine field is the labor task of the three of them before the entrance test.
I saw Zhang Hu quickly grab a pair of buckets on the ground in front of the house, put them on his back, and picked up two spirit hoes with his other big hand, Yu Ping and Wang Monkey also grabbed a bag of spirit fertilizer and carried it on their shoulders, and walked straight to the path next to it.
A few minutes of jungle trails will take you to your destination, a flat one-acre neat medicine field.
It is said that it is a medicine field, but in fact, it is a small tree called Huiqingguo that the sect developed in the valley with great means, surrounded by ancient trees, and it is impossible to see that there is such an acre of land here until it is close, and at this time you can still see the thick fog rolling over the valley, and a grain of water droplets slowly form on the leaves and quickly drip on the ground, leaving only faint traces on the leaves.
It is not strange to feel the wet mist on this face, and the strange valley phenomenon of red overhead.
The three of them had a very tacit understanding, Zhang Hu put down the spirit hoe, and went to the stream in the valley with a big bucket in one hand to draw water, while Yu Ping and Wang Bao pulled weeds and loosened the soil. Everyone worked in an orderly manner, and it was impossible to tell that these were three naïve teenagers, but like three old farmers who had worked for a long time were working skillfully.
Among the three, Wang Bao's physical strength is the worst, and he basically does the work of pulling weeds and applying fertilizer; Zhang Hu is basically Zhang Hu, who can run with hundreds of pounds of water in his hands; and Yu Ping is like a mobile one, pulling weeds, loosening soil, and fertilizing.
Fortunately, this Huiqing orchard has been developed by the sect and planted saplings, as long as the simple care is done, only this size, there are not many things, and it will be easier to wait for the Huiqing fruit to blossom and bear fruit, and there is no need to loosen the soil or even water after the roots are deep.
When the lush branches and leaves of the ancient trees can no longer block the sun, the sun has reached the top, and half a day's work will bear fruit, and then the labor can only wait for the valley to only have the sun's afterglow to work for an hour, because the grass pulled in the strong sun will be sunburned, and the saplings will also be affected if the soil is loosened, and the water temperature will directly burn the saplings. In fact, there are not many things, basically half a day's work is enough.
At this time, Yu Ping and the three of them picked up the tools and put them on the edge of the medicine field, and began to go to the stream to wash their hands, Xiaohu filled a bucket with water and soaked it in the stream, and the other bucket was filled with water and went to the place where he lived, and Wang Bao had already jumped back to the flat to make a fire.
Yu Ping was still slowly grinding his palms on the rocks by the stream, and the black grass juice could not be washed off on the palms, and could only be removed by rubbing on the rocks with sand or rubbing on the rocks.
When the rest of the people returned to their residences, a pot had been set up on the flat ground in front of the house, Wang Bao lit the fire, and Zhang Hu cooked; because Luoya Mountain was almost 20 miles away from the Zongmen's miscellaneous canteen, it was extremely inconvenient to eat. But Yu Ping and Wang Bao were touched by Zhang Hu's light. Just ten days and a half month to receive some millet dry goods to do by yourself. Basically, two meals a day didn't work much. Zhang Hu can't eat all the prey he hunts in the trap alone, it is much better than mixed rice and grains, especially when he is a young man with a long body.
Zhang Hu's cooking speed is very fast, and his movements are very quick, and in a quarter of an hour, he saw that the aroma in the big iron pot rushed high with the heat, and the meat in the half pot was churning up and down.
Seeing this, Wang Bao scooped up a piece of yellow and white porcelain bowl with a spoon, stretched out the one that couldn't be washed off, and simply didn't bother to wash the hand stained with black huhu grass juice grabbed it and bit it into his mouth, and then scalded his teeth and cracked his mouth, and the way his hand rubbed on his clothes caused Yu Ping and the two to laugh for a while, and the three of them were not polite, three times and two divided by two for a while, even the soup was drunk, Wang Bao burped a few times, wiped his hand on his mouth, pushed open his own door, and must have gone to sleep.
Zhang Hu will go to other places in the mountain to walk after eating, and the traps are more and more put to see if there are new prey, etc., Yu Ping does not need to rest, sometimes he will accompany Xiaohu to check the traps, learn how to hunt, Xiaohu also explained carefully, and even lay on the ground to sniff the excrement of the beast, and then his eyes narrowed, he was already confident, but Yu Ping did not learn this trick, he preferred to make comparisons at this time through the surrounding environment such as traces on the ground; sometimes Yu Ping sat quietly by himself and read only a few books.
Such a day is also leisurely, and the three of them get along very well, just like their own brothers, just waiting for the test to come.
But sometimes trouble comes your way.
One day at noon, the three of them were cooking game on the floor, and it was fragrant.
"No wonder you don't have to go to the cafeteria, you cook here privately. A yin and yang strange voice sounded, especially the two words of private were particularly heavy.
"Brother Bai, why don't you come together! Yu Ping replied.
"Hmph, whoever is a brother to you, let me tell you, sooner or later, I will become an official disciple, and it is not impossible if I don't tell the sect, so be it! You will hand over one at noon and one at night, no, two. Bai Chang said unceremoniously.
This Bai Chang is actually the same as Yu Ping, and he is just a miscellaneous servant under Zifeng Mountain, I heard that it has something to do with it, he has done this kind of thing many times, not only does he not have to work in the miscellaneous servants of Zifeng Mountain, but he must possess it when he sees any good things.
"We can't catch that much, let's talk ......," Wang Bao explained in a low voice.
"That's your business. Hmph!" Bai Chang said as if he were unforgiving.
"That's it, Senior Brother Bai, we still have one left every day, or we'll give it to you when the time comes. Yu Ping said.
"Am I bargaining with you?" Bai Chang snorted coldly.
"What kind of green onion are you, you haven't been weaned when you come out to mix, get out!" Zhang Hu couldn't hold back his anger, and roared and grabbed the spatula and rushed towards Bai Chang.
"Yo, you still dare to do it?" Bai Chang shouted with a high momentum.
But I saw Zhang Hu fly up and kick Bai Chang a few meters away and fall to the ground, bending over and covering his stomach and lying on the ground motionless like a shrimp.
"Next time, believe it or not, I'll cook you in a pot. Zhang Hu said loudly with a spatula.
"Senior Brother Bai, this sect is also reasonable, or let's go to the Miscellaneous Service Hall together. Yu Ping said unceremoniously.
"You wait, I'll make you look good. Bai Chang, who had just been hunched over and lying on the ground motionless, heard this, and quickly got up and ran, with cruel words in his mouth.
After Bai Chang ran away with a rolling belt.
"We're all right after beating him?" asked Wang Bao as he picked up the bowl and asked without appetite.
"Such a person is underbeaten, only beating can solve the problem, eat, come once I beat once. Zhang Hu said.
Sure enough, later, Na Bai Chang didn't dare to come to the cliff mountain alone.
As the day of the assessment draws closer and closer.
What Yu Ping and the three of them talked about the most was what was the assessment standard for entering the sect?
"Brother Ping, what would you do if you didn't have a fairy fate after the test?" asked Wang Bao when Yu Ping and the three of them were chatting together on the floor in front of the house?
"I don't know or think about this question yet, what about you?" asked Yu Ping rhetorically.
"I don't know, but the person who introduced me said that I was very sure, but I don't like to fight and kill, or I will mix with Huzi in the future, just take care of the food, and the old man also said that he was in charge of the food, so I came. ”
"Haha! " Zhang Hu on the side laughed heartily.
"I like to fight, but this immortal cultivation is not the life I want, there are too many constraints, eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine is a great joy in life. Zhang Hu continued.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the official test of the sect.
