Chapter 1: Ascending the Mountain
Tien Shan, giant rock peak.
Juyan Peak is one of the six peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, located in the northwest direction of Lingyun Peak. The giant rock peak is the lowest peak among the six peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, but there are many huge rocks on it, and it looks very majestic from a distance. If "delicate woman" is used to describe the other five peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, then it is better to use "strong man" to describe the giant rock peak.
The mountain is full of boulders, most of them are more than two meters high, the texture is hard, the shape is different, if it is at night, look at it, the mountain is like standing full of all kinds of giants, this is probably the origin of the name Giant Rock Peak!
It's almost evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun stains half of the sky red, and it's even more beautiful to enjoy from the top of the mountain.
A young girl stood at the gate, looking at the stone steps leading from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, as if waiting for someone. But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see half a figure, and there was a faint worry in her heart. She bit her lip lightly, and her eyes looked down the hill again.
Finally, she saw a figure she hadn't seen for a long time, this person was none other than Lin Shitong, the first of the Giant Rock Peak!
Although this giant rock peak is the lowest altitude among the six peaks of the Tianshan Mountains, if you hike up it, an adult will be tired enough. And Lin Shitong looks like he is forty or fifty years old, and his figure is a little bloated, but he walks unambiguously. I saw that his steps were steady, his feet were extremely fast, and he never rested for a moment.
The woman looked fixedly, and suddenly found that there were some people not far behind Lin Shitong, these people were all children, and the largest grade was only her size, so it was naturally very difficult to go up the mountain, and Lin Shitong was left behind in a short time.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Shitong finally reached the top of the mountain, and the children were still halfway there. Rao is like this, or Lin Shitong waited for them for a long time on the halfway.
"Dad, you're finally back!" the woman happily threw herself into Lin Shitong's arms, so happy and warm. This woman is Lin Shitong's only daughter, Lin Xiaodie!
Lin Shitong gently touched his daughter's head, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you are such a big girl, why are you still like a child? Besides, it's not like Dad won't come back!"
"Didn't you say you were only going for one day, why did you come back after three days?" asked Lin Xiaodie, blinking her big bright eyes.
Lin Shitong's face changed, he snorted coldly, pointed to Chen Xiaomo, Bai Yao and others who were walking towards the top of the mountain, and said hatefully: "I don't all complain about that Gao Yang, let me suffer a dumb loss!"
Lin Xiaodie looked at the long queue and asked even more suspiciously, "Dad, is this ......?"
Lin Shitong glanced down the mountain again, especially when he saw those teenagers with poor qualifications, he was even more unhappy in his heart, and he didn't explain anything more to Lin Xiaodie, but said lazily: "You will have a few more junior disciples in the future!"
"Fluttershy, why is Master so angry? ...... the teenagers down the hill again," asks a man in his mid-thirties who seems to be honest and honest. This person is Lin Shitong's eldest disciple Liu Dashan.
Lin Xiaodie shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't know very well, but I'm afraid that in the future, these teenagers will be the disciples of our Giant Rock Peak." ”
Liu Dashan looked at the teenagers who were walking towards the top of the mountain, and he didn't know why.
"Senior brother, go and ask your father what the hell is going on. Lin Xiaodie said, "When they come up, I'll take them to the backyard first." Liu Dashan nodded, and quickly walked towards the Heavenly Spirit Palace.
After another half an hour, Chen Xiaomo and his party finally walked to the top of the giant rock peak, and as soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they lay on the ground, like dead pigs, unwilling to move any more.
It is no wonder that there is a distance of more than 100 kilometers from Lingyun Peak to Juyan Peak, and half of it is a mountain road. It took only five hours for these twenty-four teenagers to reach the Giant Rock Peak, wading through mountains and rivers in the middle, and the hardships can be imagined. And in the meantime, they have not eaten a grain of rice, and their stomachs are already growling with hunger.
Lin Xiaodie watched them all tired and half dead, and was embarrassed to let them get up immediately, so she had to sit on the stone bench and wait for them to recover slowly.
Inside the Heavenly Spirit Temple.
"Master, why did those teenagers come to my Giant Rock Peak, and how should they arrange it?" asked Liu Dashan.
Lin Shitong's face was full of displeasure, and it took a long time before he said slowly: "Those young people's villages were tragically ransacked by robbers, and their parents died. Dashan, you go and arrange their accommodation!" Lin Shitong paused, and then said: "Also, inform all the disciples of Juyan Peak that they will gather in the front yard tomorrow morning, I have something to arrange." ”
"Yes, Master!" Liu Dashan arched.
In front of the mountain gate, Chen Xiaomo and the others were still resting there. Bai Kao and a few others with better physique could barely get up from the ground, but they had just lost their parents and left the village, and followed a stranger to the top of this strange mountain, and they were inevitably a little frightened in their hearts, and they stood there one by one at a loss.
And people like Chen Xiaomo have a weak physique, and this day's trip makes him even more miserable. Moreover, in the cave under the bluestone mountain, Chen Xiaomo also experienced a process of exchanging blood, at this time he was at the time of both qi and blood, so his face was pale, lying on the ground and panting, even Ou Yang, the youngest of these children, looked better than him.
"Alright, are you all rested, if so, get up quickly and follow me to the backyard. Lin Xiaodie's sweet voice came.
Chen Xiaomo was sore all over, but he was still lying on the ground and didn't want to get up. Xiaoyu ran over and licked his cheek with his tongue, Chen Xiaomo looked around, only to see Ou Yang standing up, he was a little embarrassed, so he sat up from the ground with a spirit. Only then did he see Lin Xiaodie's face clearly.
Dressed in pink, the hem of the plain clothes is embroidered with red petals, and the arms are covered with a long smoky purple silk. Qianqian's thin waist is tied with a purple belt inlaid with jade brocade. The jet-black hair was tied up with a lilac ribbon, and a few strands of hair fell mischievously down the shoulders, making the skin that could be broken by blowing more pale. The face is not powdered, but it is fresh and moving. Chen Xiaomo couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Lin Xiaodie glanced at everyone and found that only Chen Xiaomo was still sitting on the ground, looking at herself in a daze, Lin Xiaodie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She walked over gently, knocked on Chen Xiaomo's head, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? It's time to get up!" There was a bit of delicacy in her voice, which was very pleasant.
There was immediately a burst of laughter around, and everyone looked at the laughing stock in front of them with contempt, and Le bent over. Qian Wansan smiled the most happily, only to see him laughing and saying, "Haha, Chen Xiaomo, I think this is the end of your life!" Although Qian Wansan said this, since he reached the top of the giant rock peak, that fiery gaze has never left Lin Xiaodie's body.
Chen Xiaomo's heart was suddenly full of anger, he only felt that the qi and blood were surging in his body, and he had a feeling that he wanted to kill all these people in front of him.
"Alright, everyone stop laughing, come with me to the backyard. Lin Xiaodie glanced around at everyone and said.
In the minds of the other twenty-three teenagers, they always thought that Shan Honghua was the most beautiful, but when they saw Lin Xiaodie today, many people changed their original opinions, and they looked at Lin Xiaodie in a daze one by one, among which Qian Wansan's expression was the most exaggerated, because his saliva was about to flow out.
Lin Xiaodie glared at Qian Wansan in disgust, then looked at Chen Xiaomo on the ground, nodded at him, and then took the lead and walked towards the backyard.
Everyone no longer paid attention to Chen Xiaomo and followed Lin Xiaodie to the backyard one after another. Chen Xiaomo shook his head, and then got up and followed.
Lin Xiaodie took them to the backyard, where they saw that the backyard was extremely spacious, with lush trees, houses, and simple and elegant buildings.
There are about 100 houses in the courtyard, all of which have red lacquer carved wooden doors, but most of the houses have locked doors and a little dust on the windows, so it seems that they have not been inhabited for a long time.
Footsteps sounded outside the courtyard, and Liu Dashan walked in and said to Lin Xiaodie, "Fluttershy, Master asked us to arrange a place for these teenagers to live first, and the rest of the things will be arranged by Master himself tomorrow morning." ”
Lin Xiaodie nodded and said to Liu Dashan, "Dad prefers to be quiet, so let these teenagers live in the West Courtyard with you!"
Liu Dashan acquiesced, and then began to arrange a house for everyone. Juyan Peak is different from the other five peaks, there are more than a hundred houses here, and Lin Shitong only has eight disciples under his seat, plus Lin Shitong himself and his daughter Lin Xiaodie are only ten. Therefore, the situation of a small number of people in the house is especially obvious on the Giant Rock Peak, and it is more than enough for each person to live in ten rooms.
Next, Chen Xiaomo and the other twenty-four people were assigned to their own residences. The white sickle was arranged next to the house of Lin Shitong's ninth apprentice, Mao Pan'an, while Chen Xiaomo was arranged alone in the first room of the fourth row of houses. Because Chen Xiaomo was the last to enter the backyard, he was also the last room to be assigned. The other twenty-three just filled the first three rows of houses in the west courtyard, and no one wanted to be neighbors with Chen Xiaomo, so Chen Xiaomo had to live in the fourth row of houses by himself. Although there are fewer people to talk to in the future, it is also a little quieter because of this.
"Okay, you guys can stay here first. From now on, I will be your senior brother, my name is Liu Dashan, if you don't understand anything, you can come to me. Liu Dashan said to everyone. Then he looked at Lin Xiaodie, and said, "Oh, by the way, this is your senior sister and your master's daughter, named Lin Xiaodie, although she is younger than our eight senior brothers, she has extraordinary qualifications and superb Taoism, even if she is a strict person like Master, she usually praises her." If you encounter any difficulties in your life or cultivation in the future, it is okay to ask your Senior Sister Lin. ”
Lin Xiaodie listened to Liu Dashan's praise for her, she was a little embarrassed, and said coquettishly: "Senior brother has won the award, how dare I compare this little cultivation with senior brother!"
"Haha, your senior sister is too modest!" Liu Dashan smiled and waved his hand, and then said to everyone: "Let's go back and rest first, gather in the front yard tomorrow morning, our master has something to announce." ”
After that, Liu Dashan and Lin Xiaodie walked outside the courtyard, and everyone immediately discussed. Encountering so many things along the way, they forgot the grief of losing their parents, and at this moment, thinking of their parents who died tragically for no reason, many people cried out in grief.
There are mourners in the crowd who miss their parents, curious people who have just arrived in a strange place, and haters who hate robbers and haters, Chen Xiaomo's heart is also full of endless sadness, but he can't find a confidant friend to confide in, only Xiaoyu in his arms "meowed" twice, which can be regarded as a comfort to him!
Chen Xiaomo walked back to the room alone and lay quietly on the bed, with Xiaoyu also lying down beside him. Perhaps because he was too tired on the way, it didn't take long for Chen Xiaomo to fall asleep in a daze......
