There was a huge humanoid statue in the center of the square in front of the Flying Sword Pavilion, and I thought that it should be the founder of the Flying Sword Pavilion.

"Jiang Chen, why are you here, I forgot to tell you, you can't walk around here, otherwise I won't be able to keep you." Huang Yue didn't see anyone for a long time, so he came over and said.

"I saw that it was beautiful, and I somehow walked and walked over. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Let's go, I'll tell you what I'm going to do today. Huang Yue said and walked towards the medicine garden.

When he arrived at the medicine garden, Huang Yue pointed to the nine large tanks and said: "Do you see these nine large tanks, there are three rows in total, three in each row, the medicine garden uses three tanks of water a day, that is, one row, you have to fill up the three tanks of water every morning, because the temperature of the water just brought back is not the same as the temperature of the medicine garden, and the medicinal herbs will die, so you have to put them for three days, and then water them when the temperature is the same, you won't die, and you can't be lazy when you carry water to the waterfall pool." ”

In the evening, Huang Yue began to cook, Jiang Chen helped wash the vegetables and light the fire, and after the old and the young finished eating, Jiang Chen cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed the pots and bowls, and cleaned up the hygiene.

Out of the stove room, he saw Huang Yue reading a book on a rocking chair sitting on the edge of the medicine garden, he walked over and stood beside him, and saw that the books Huang Yue was reading were painted with some medicinal materials, and the characteristics of these medicinal materials were recorded below.

"The fire spirit fruit in this book is different from the one in the medicine garden. Jiang Chen pointed and asked.

Huang Yue turned his face and said, "The ones in the book are ripe fire spirit fruits, and the ones in our medicine garden are not ripe yet." ”

"Do you know how to read?" said Huang Yue in surprise.

Jiang Chen said: "My parents taught me when they were there, and I recognize some of them. ”

"Then you can take this book and read it, get acquainted with the medicinal materials, and water the medicinal materials in the future. Huang Yue said.

Back in the room, Jiang Chen began to look through this "Strange Flowers and Herbs", his memory is very good, it can be said that he will never forget it, but he reads the book very slowly and carefully, and he remembers the characteristics and uses of medicinal materials very clearly.

As soon as the day dawned, Jiang Chen rushed to the waterfall pool with two large wooden barrels, scooped up the two buckets of water and swung left and right, walked for a while, and when he arrived at the big tank, there was only half a bucket left in the bucket.

In this way, by the time the three vats were full, it was already three poles a day, and Jiang Chen was tired and sweating profusely.

After breakfast, he followed Huang Yue to water and weed the flowers in the medicine garden, and listened to Huang Yue talk about the characteristics, uses and medicinal value of various medicinal herbs.

One night, Huang Yue called Jiang Chen to the room, poured out three small pills from a jade bottle, and said: "This is called the Strengthening Muscles and Bones Pill, it has no great effect on cultivators, but for ordinary people, it has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, and it is very beneficial to the body, with your current physical fitness, you can only eat one pill in three days, not too much, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it." ”

Jiang Chen returned to the room, lay on the bed, took out a pill and put it in his mouth, the pill melted immediately after entering his mouth, like a warm current flowing through every cell in his body, very comfortable, he closed his eyes, enjoyed this wonderful feeling, and fell asleep unconsciously.

The next morning, he felt refreshed, his whole body had no more strength, and he was no longer so strained to carry two buckets of water.

When he had eaten all three pills, his spirit had obviously changed a lot, and the muscles of his whole body had taken shape.

In this way, I carried water every morning, weeded and watered the medicine garden with Huang Yue in the afternoon, listened to Huang Yue's explanation of medicinal herbs, and sometimes followed Huang Yue to the back mountain to collect medicine, and watched "Strange Flowers and Plants" at night, and unconsciously it had been more than half a year.

Now Jiang Chen has grown taller, his body is much stronger, his face is not as thin as when he first came, and he can walk like a fly in the morning with two buckets of water, but his face is much darker.

One morning, as usual, he carried two wooden barrels to the waterfall to carry water, and after scooping up the water, he suddenly heard someone talking, and he followed the sound of talking, and it turned out to be five children of his age practicing swords in the open space downstream of the pool, three boys and two girls.

Jiang Chen can be said to have a soft spot for swords, and now that he sees someone practicing swords, he is very curious and yearning.

Just as he was looking at it with interest, a boy shouted, "Someone peeked at us practicing swords," and he quickly turned around and picked up the bucket and was about to leave, but those few were walking like flying, and they were not far away, and they chased after him at once.

The taller one of the several people walked in the front, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, very handsome, he stopped Jiang Chen with a sword, and said, "Who are you, why do you peek at us practicing swords?"

Jiang Chen put down the bucket and said, "I am from the medicine garden, and I carry water here every day, and today I accidentally saw you practicing swords, and I couldn't help but take a few more looks, I didn't peek." ”

"Senior Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense with him, arrest him and send him to Elder Yan of the Law Enforcement Hall to deal with him. The boy with a small height and a big head said.

"I heard Senior Sister Gao Yan say that a few days ago they went out to practice, and when they came back and passed by the top of Changfeng Mountain, they rescued a child, and later sent them to the medicine garden to do miscellaneous labor, maybe it was him, did we misunderstand him. A sweet voice said.

Jiang Chen looked over, and it was a girl who spoke, she was wearing long black hair, melon seed face, under her curved eyebrows were Danfeng eyes, long eyelashes, like she could speak, wearing a snow-white skirt, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.

These five are all newly recruited disciples of the Sword Pavilion last year, and they can all be described as the best of the best among the people in a million, and their talents are extremely high.

The one who started to stop Jiang Chen was called Chen Tianhao, the sixteenth grandson of Chen Yuan, the head of the Chen family in Jiujiang City.

That big head is the youngest son of Li Dapeng, the lord of Snow Plains City, named Li Zhan, and Li Dapeng likes this son very much.

The little girl who spoke last was brought back by Elder Zhai of the Flying Sword Pavilion, her name was Yan Nanfei, I didn't know that it was from the big family.

Yan Nanfei saw Jiang Chen looking at her, and she turned around shyly.

Seeing Jiang Chen looking at Yan Nanfei, Chen Tianhao shouted:

"Look at what I am, who should I be, it turns out to be a miscellaneous man. ”

"Wild boy, take a good beating of your miscellaneous, if you're peeking at us practicing swords, be careful that I gouge out your eyes. ”

Yan Nanfei persuaded: "Senior Brother Chen, don't embarrass him, he is also pitiful." ”

"Okay, for Senior Sister Yan's sake today, let you go, let's go. Chen Tianhao said.

Chen Tianhao gave Li Zhan a look when he turned around, Li Zhan Yiyi, when he walked past Jiang Chen, he kicked on the bucket, the bucket flew up and smashed on Jiang Chen's body, Jiang Chen was caught off guard, "Oops" planted a heel, and a bucket of water was poured on his body.

Chen Tianhao laughed a few "haha" and walked away.

Yan Nanfei turned to look at Jiang Chen, and saw that Jiang Chen's pair of black eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, and her heart seemed to be touched by something.

Jiang Chen stood up, looked at their distant backs, picked up the bucket and looked at it, fortunately the bucket was still fine, he scooped up the water again, and went back quickly with the water.

Since then, Jiang Chen has gotten up earlier in the morning, every morning when the sky is gray, there is always a figure rushing quickly on the way from the waterfall to the medicine garden, look carefully at him stretching his arms, he carries a bucket of water in each hand, no matter how fast he runs, the water will not flow out of the barrel a little, he is Jiang Chen who is a miscellaneous worker in the medicine garden.

After a year of uninterrupted exercise, of course, it was inseparable from Huang Yue's supply of pills from time to time, Jiang Chen's physique underwent substantial deformation, not only his bones were strong, his muscles were lumpy, and his strength increased, but more importantly, his will became stronger. This laid the foundation for Jiang Chen's future kendo cultivation, of course, this is a later story, so I won't talk about it here.

On this day, Jiang Chen filled up the water, helped Huang Yue make breakfast as usual, and was washing the vegetables, Huang Yue said: "Jiang Chen, today I will go to the refining pharmacy to send some herbs over, our honeysuckle storage is not much, you can go to the back mountain to pick some after breakfast." ”

Jiang Chen knew that Ma Yinhua was a common herb with mild attributes, and it was a necessity for refining and blending general pills, and it mostly grew in the stone crevices of Yin Mountain.

"Okay, Elder Huang, I know where there are many horses and silver flowers in the back mountain. Jiang Chen said.

After breakfast, Jiang Chen wore a straw hat, which Huang Yue taught him to weave, and walked towards the back mountain with a bamboo basket on his back, he was very familiar with the road to the back mountain, he didn't know how many times he had followed Huang Yue in a year, and he was familiar with every grass and tree on the road.

When he came to the back mountain, he climbed along a Yin Mountain stone wall to collect medicine, jumping from one stone to another, agile, like an ape, so he climbed farther and farther.

There were more and more honeysuckle flowers picked, thinking that Elder Huang would definitely praise him when he went back this time, he sat on a stone to rest, took out dry food and ate it.

Usually, Elder Huang didn't take me to such depths to collect medicine, and told me that the Flying Sword Pavilion was backed by a wild mountain range, and there were demon beasts in it, I didn't know if it was true or not, and I thought I'd better leave quickly.

He got up and carried the bamboo basket on his back and was about to go back, but as soon as he stood up, he heard a roar, his back was cold, he turned around and looked, startled, an animal like a dog, but with four ears, how did Jiang Chen know that this was a four-eared silver wolf, a first-class demon beast.

Really ran into a demon beast, what should I do, his brain was spinning rapidly, there was no other way but to run, without hesitation, he ran back, but the four-eared silver wolf was extremely fast, and it was behind Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye.

It pounced, the two front hooves grabbed on the bamboo basket, at this time Jiang Chen's soles had not yet stood firm, and the impact was too great, Jiang Chen's body rushed forward, at the critical moment, Jiang Chen was in a hurry, and untied the strap of the bamboo basket, the silver wolf grabbed the bamboo basket and flew over the top of Jiang Chen's head, Jiang Chen's body fell down to the cliff.

Jiang Chen's ears remembered his mother's words again: "Life is the most important thing." "But I'm afraid I won't be able to live this time.

He looked down, it was green below, and his body fell into it at a very fast speed, and he lost his instinct as he remembered a "pop" sound in his ears.
