Volume 2 The dust is not over, but the new path is still there Chapter 6 The Library Pavilion
After two years of hard work, Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua finally waited for the day of the first half of the mountainside, and of course, there were other brothers and sisters, but there were not many, only four.
On this day, they packed their bags and were led by He Ming to march towards the mountainside.
After two years of tempering, Luo Hua has less of the temper of the son, but more heroism and perseverance.
As for Wang Linchuan, it can only be said that in addition to the change in his appearance and his maturity, his personality has hardly changed, maybe he refuses to grow.
And that senior brother named He Ming, if you look at it from behind, you almost think that he is an adult.
Originally, two years ago, he could have chosen to go up to the halfway point of the mountain to practice martial arts, but in order to accumulate merits, he insisted on delaying the time, and there are very few people who can have this kind of thinking at this age, so he is not willing to live under others.
When they first heard this rumor about He Ming, Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua were really surprised, they fought so hard at a young age, is it so important to practice martial arts?
Later, they finally understood that in the Wuji Gate, it is divided into the inner gate and the outer gate, but the status is worlds apart, the inner gate is the core of the sect, and the resources in the door are naturally inclined to the inner gate, and it is self-evident that they can become inner disciples.
In addition, outer disciples like them who have just practiced martial arts are not allowed to go down the mountain at will, unless they can become a teacher, and the premise of becoming a teacher is to do a task for the sect, if the time is exceeded, or if the task cannot be completed, they may be expelled from the sect.
The road was calm and silent, everyone had their own concerns, but when they were about to reach the halfway point of the mountain, it was a different picture, and the square halfway up the mountain was full of people and noisy, and I am afraid that the vegetable market was nothing more than that.
The rivers and lakes are not only outside the door, but also inside the door, this is the rivers and lakes.
He Ming took the group to a row of huts at the back of the square, assigned a house, one for each person, and then handed out a few pamphlets to several people, which were the door rules and a brief introduction to the accumulation and exchange of merits.
After everyone wrote down their room number in their hearts, they said goodbye, and after that, they each entered their own huts, Luo Hua was assigned to room A, and Wang Linchuan was assigned to room C.
Entering the room, Wang Linchuan briefly looked at the room, a bed, a quilt, a few sets of changing clothes, a table, a chair, a teapot, two cups, a stove on the table, and the rest were brooms and garbage shovels.
Wang Linchuan has always liked cleanliness, so he cleaned the room first, in fact, there was nothing in the room, just a little dust, after a while, he finished cleaning, and then he went out of the house to wash his face, returned to the house, and fell asleep deeply.
Knock! knock! knock!" There was a knock on the door outside the house, Wang Linchuan woke up, hurriedly opened the door, and let the person in, who else was this person Luo Hua?
"You guy, it's really leisurely, those guys who came up with us have already gone to eat, let's go too, it's late, maybe there will be no food." ”
Wang Linchuan looked at the sky, it was almost evening now, and he should have slept for at least an hour.
"Okay, let's go now, I'm so hungry, by the way, what do you want to eat?"
"We'll see when the time comes!"
When I arrived at the dining hall, I saw a sea of people, and the smell of rice was fragrant, which made people salivate.
When I walked in, I saw a few stalls lined up, and there were several large tables with all kinds of dishes on them, which were dazzling, and I didn't know which one to choose, but if I looked closely, there was very little meat, and few people ate meat.
When they inquired clearly, they felt cold. Vegetarian food and rice and porridge are provided free of charge, excluding valuable botanicals, which are full, and meat and herbs are purchased for a fee.
As soon as they heard this bad news, Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua, who were accustomed to eating meat at the bottom of the mountain, suddenly turned blue and breathed a little heavier, but there was no way, the two of them made rice and a few vegetarian dishes, and found a table to eat.
During this meal, the two of them did not say a word face to face, in fact, they cursed the sect in their hearts for eighteen generations, if the deacon elders in charge of punishment of the sect knew, it was estimated that they would have to be hung for three days and three nights to relieve their anger.
Those who curse the sect to such an extent because of the bad food are probably the only ones.
After eating this meal, the two returned to their residence unhappy, and at this time, it was getting late, and both of them arrived at Wang Linchuan.
Luo Hua said: "Xiaochuan, will we change to vegetarianism in the future? Luo Hua spoke the hearts of most of the disciples of the sect.
Wang Linchuan said: "What can I do, I remember that when we came, my father-in-law never gave us silver taels, and what I am afraid of is that the husband is not guilty and is guilty." ”
Luo Hua said: "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten a few bites of rice, I have no taste for this meal, it's a pity to abandon it, don't eat it, I don't have the strength." ”
Wang Linchuan touched his head, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Yes, let's go to the square tomorrow to have a look, I heard that there is a task there, and you can do the task to earn silver." ”
Luo Hua said excitedly: "Okay, I'll go back to sleep first, something will call me." ”
In fact, Wang Linchuan was also very hungry, and he didn't eat a few bites of food, but he didn't show it. The night passed quickly, and the two came to the dining hall early, ate some vegetarian dishes with rice porridge, blinked, and took a few bites, which was considered to have been eaten.
The two hurried to the square again, at this moment, the square is more lively than the canteen, only to see that the task list is full of tasks and give rewards, and the task list is crowded with people, all kinds of discussions, ridicule, ridicule, sighs are connected together as if they are in a vegetable market.
Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua squeezed through the crowd and came to the vicinity of the task list.
"Where did the stinky child come from, only a few years old, dare to come here, let's go home and eat milk first!"
"Haha!" A burst of laughter swept by, Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua ignored it and took a closer look at the tasks on the list.
I saw that the serial number was written on it, and it corresponded to the task.
"Hunt a leopard with money, take a leopard's gall, ten taels of silver", "Assassinate someone, a hundred taels of silver." ”...... There are many kinds of tasks, but there are no exceptions: they all require martial arts.
Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua suddenly withered, who said that you can go to the rivers and lakes with a sword?
Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua squeezed out of the crowd and were just about to leave, when a group of people came in front of them.
Six people, a group of people cleanly restrained them in three times and five divided by two, and even wanted to speak out was stopped by the group of people, and the eyes of the people around them seemed to have long been strange, and no one came out to speak, and no one came out to do chivalrous deeds.
The expression of watching a play is always more wonderful than the expression of acting, and there may be people waiting to fall into the well.
A group of people quickly completed the search of them, but unfortunately they wanted to make some oil and water but found the wrong object, and in the end, one of them was even more angry: "Poor ghost, go farther, don't block the financial path of the masters!" It seems that the rivers and lakes in the sect are not peaceful, and it is estimated that similar things will be staged everywhere.
After the two were searched, they were both annoyed, but they were helpless, they couldn't beat them, and they reported them, which was even more impossible, otherwise why did the people around them choose to watch the show?
The two swore that in the future, they would let the group of people pay back tenfold, don't those people like silver, then let them hand over the gold, keep the silver, if there is no gold, then be aggrieved and take the silver, the two thought indignantly.
After returning to the residence dejectedly, the two of them started nagging again and scolded Wujimen, but fortunately, no one else was present at this time, otherwise the two of them would have suffered again.
By chance, the two of them remembered the booklet, and looked at the booklet carefully, and found that the disciples who had just reached the halfway point of the mountain could receive the two exercises for free, and as for wanting more, it depended on the contributions and merits to the sect.
The two found He Ming, who introduced them to a deacon, who wrote them a letter of recommendation and sent them away.
The two came to the library with a letter of recommendation, only to see that the library was set in an inconspicuous cave, and they didn't know what was going on inside.
At the entrance of the library was a table and chair, on which sat an old man, gray-haired, looking down intently at a book.
Probably hearing the footsteps of the comer, the old man raised his head at the moment of their arrival, looked at Wang Linchuan and Luo Hua, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but he said calmly: "It's new, right? ”
Luo Hua handed over the letter, and the old man looked at it: "The letter is correct, you can go in, but you can only stay for two hours, and you must choose two exercises within two hours, if you don't come out after two hours, I will personally go in and drive them out;
"Understood, Elder, we're going in, goodbye!"
"Wait, come with me. Under the leadership of the old man, the two walked into the cave, only to see a few night pearls inlaid on the stone wall in the cave, the sight is good, and they can still read books, which can't help but make the two of them amazed.
The three of them came to a door, and the old man said, "Now if there is anything you don't understand, hurry up and ask, and give you a quarter of an hour." ”
"Elder, may I ask what kind of exercises should I choose for the first time to learn martial arts?" Luo Hua said. "If you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old; when you practice martial arts, you should first practice qi and blood, so that the qi and blood are smooth, and after the qi and blood are smooth, you can get twice the result with half the effort and reduce the danger of going mad; there are many exercises in this sect that are about practicing qi and blood, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, you can go in and find it yourself; oh, by the way, take the exercises to me when you come out and register them, and return them in a month; okay, is there any other problem?" the old man looked a little impatient.
"It's gone. The two naturally saw the old man's impatience, and naturally they would not be bored.
The old man opened the door, and the two finally entered the mysterious library.
