Chapter 9: Conditions for Joining the Sycamore Sect

"Okay, you wait here first, I'll go up and tell you, but ......"

The young man guarding the mountain didn't finish his words, but Lei Sheng understood what he meant.

"I don't have anything of value on me now, but don't worry, if I grow the grain, I will definitely take out a hundred catties to honor the senior brothers. ”

The young man guarding the mountain smiled proudly: "It's easy to say." ”

"Dare to ask what the senior brother is called?"

"Xu Qingshan. ”

After Xu Qingshan reported to his home, he instructed several other young people guarding the mountain: "You guys are guarding here, and I will come back immediately." ”

With that, he turned and left.

After waiting for half an hour, Xu Qingshanfang led an old man with half-white hair down with a respectful face.

As he walked, he said: "That kid really has nothing special, but he is still young, and I don't think he has much ability, so you really don't need to go on this trip yourself." ”

The old man ignored Xu Qingshan, and when he came to the entrance to the mountain pass and saw Lei Sheng with an immature face, he couldn't help but walk closer and look Lei Sheng up and down with a dewy look in his eyes.

Lei Sheng arched his hand to the old man as a sign of respect.

The old man didn't ask anything, and said directly to Lei Sheng, "Come with me." ”

After Lei Sheng followed the old man to the north for a while, the old man suddenly sighed with emotion: "You are the only apprentice who came to my Wutong Sect at such a young age for more than a hundred years, is that Xu Qingshan extorting food from you?"

Lei Sheng said: "It's not blackmail, it should be." ”

The old man smiled: "You are reasonable, since it is not easy for me to go down the mountain this time, should you also show something?"

Lei Sheng was slightly stunned, and immediately understood: "As long as you find me a good piece of land, I can give you a hundred catties of grain as a reward." ”

The old man explained: "There is no difference between good and bad land, only people are industrious and lazy, the land is the same, and the land around Wutong Mountain is different from other places, as long as you are willing to spend your strength, you can produce more food within the scope of Wutong Mountain, and as long as you complete the qualification to enter the mountain within a year, in order to commend the disciples who have turned wasteland into fertile land, these fields will not be completely occupied by the Wutong Sect, and will be distributed to the disciples according to the proportion of one-fifth of the year's harvest in the future." ”

Lei Sheng nodded knowingly, thought of a question, and asked, "What if there is no harvest for a year?"

The old man said confidently: "This kind of thing will not happen in Wutong Mountain. ”

"Why is that?"

"When you are qualified to worship the mountain gate, you will naturally know, now what you have to do is to gather enough 1,000 catties of grain and the 100 catties of grain given to me within a year, but there is a sequence, I don't care whether you grow 1,000 catties of grain or not, the 100 catties promised me must not be less, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”

Lei Sheng nodded, and asked again: "Now is not the planting period for fine grains, you can only grow some coarse grains, and the kilograms required for fine grains and coarse grains are the same?"

"Same. ”

"What about vegetables and grains?"

"It's not within the planting requirements, when you open up the planting land, I will come to check, if the planting conditions are met, the mountain gate will uniformly distribute the seeds planted, but ten catties of seeds will be exchanged for one hundred catties of grain in the future." ”

"What if the grains don't get anything?"

"I said that there is no such thing as no grain harvest, this kind of thing has never happened, but if you can't hand over a thousand catties of grain within a year, then the wasteland you reclaimed will belong to the Wutong faction, if you don't give up, then you can continue to reclaim the wasteland, and so on, do you understand?"

Lei Sheng nodded: "Understood." Can I get a helper?"

The old man looked at the women beside Lei Sheng: "We only want the result, but you are the only one who can sign the agreement." ”

After the two sides reached a verbal agreement, the old man led the people to a wasteland overgrown with weeds at the foot of Wutong Mountain.

Along the way, they passed through many fields full of grain, and many young people were toiling in the fields.

Of course, there are also a few elderly figures.

Lei Sheng walked around the wasteland assigned to him, and found that although the land here was also barren, it was much stronger than the land in other places he had seen in the past month or so.

At least weeds can grow here.

Lei Sheng walked up to the old man and said, "Now you can sign the agreement." ”

The old man looked at Lei Sheng with interest: "Look at how your little doll turned in the field just now, could it be that you can farm at such a young age?" ”

Lei Sheng smiled embarrassedly and didn't explain anything.

The old man took out two agreements from his bosom and asked, "This is the agreement, can you understand it?" If you don't understand it, you can go to the city and find a literate person to identify it." ”

Lei Sheng glanced at the agreement, read the content above, and after finding no problems, he said: "No need, the Wutong faction is a famous faction, so it won't deceive me as a child." ”

The ghost knows what kind of sect the Wutong faction is, but at present, it doesn't look like a decent family at all.

However, judging from the course of more than a month, Lei Sheng found that there is not so much morality to talk about in this world, and most people are very selfish in order to survive and get food that can prolong life.

And there are many robbers in this world, as if there are bandits everywhere.

Compared with those bandits, the Wutong faction's practices are indeed much more decent, at least I'll tell you ahead.

The old man handed Lei Sheng a ballpoint pen.

"Can you write?"

Lei Sheng took the ballpoint pen in a daze, although it has been three years since he came to this world, this is the first time he has seen this kind of pen, to be able to invent this kind of pen at least shows that the world's technology is not backward, but why is the environment in this world so barren?

"If you don't know how to write, just press your handprint. ”

The old man misunderstood Lei Sheng and reminded.

Lei Sheng's thoughts were pulled back, and he wrote his name on the two agreements horizontally and vertically.

Then give one to the old man and keep one for himself.

"The agreement will take effect immediately, so you won't be delayed. The old man turned around and was about to leave.

Lei Sheng suddenly asked again, "Where do we live?"

The old man pointed to the wasteland: "You can build a thatched house here, you currently have the right to use it for one year, if you become a disciple of the Wutong Sect, you can enjoy the right to use this land forever." ”

After saying this, the old man stopped and turned to leave.

Xiao Ju asked, "What are we going to do next, do we start pulling weeds?"

Lei Sheng said: "Don't be in a hurry, I'll make some tools out, and you guys will first go around to familiarize yourself with the familiar terrain and see if there are any new discoveries." ”

The six women dispersed according to their words.

Lei Sheng walked alone to a place where the mountain was exposed, and then vigorously broke down several rocks.

Then he took a rock in each of his left and right hands and began to rub it vigorously.

Under his strong friction, the stone became sharp and sharp, and it could be turned into a murderous weapon.

He rubbed out a dozen stones, then found some tough weeds, tied them horizontally to a tree trunk, and made a handrail diagonally.

A simple plow was made by Lei Sheng.

Then he made seven more stone rakes.

Once the stone rake was ready, he began to circle the base of the mountain.

He found a grove of trees, and then split the trees with his hands, and chopped down enough timber to build a large house next to the wasteland that would be large enough for seven people to sleep.

With all this done, the sky also darkened.

Maybe he was used to all kinds of magic of Lei Sheng, and he didn't feel anything strange about all this Lei Sheng did, but he was very at ease.

Had a good night's rest.

The next day, when it was dawn, the six girls got up and shouted that they were going to open up the wasteland.

Lei Sheng put the plow on his body and let Xiao Ju hold it behind him.

Then he began to move his calves and swished to run.

In a short time, nearly an acre of wasteland was plowed by him.
