Chapter Seventy-Three: Heaven and Earth
Fan Longshan has been in good spirits recently, his face is full of spring breeze, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his mouth seem to be full of smiles, and even his hands and feet have gradually brought a brisk rhythm. Even when eating, I suddenly burst into laughter. First is Longyue City, then his own cultivation has reached a realm that he can't even think of, and then his family's own cultivation has made a qualitative leap. And it's all about his son, so how not to be proud.
Fan Longshan, who was watching with a quaint book in the study hall, smiled again. The mind is not in the book at all.
"Father, I'm reading a book!" Seeing that the door was not closed, Fan Xiaodong, who went in directly, saw the happy Fan Longshan, and looked at the book he was holding, and his face became strange.
"Ah, Xiaodong, it's so good that you don't have anything to do now, what's the matter with you. Hearing Fan Xiaodong's voice, he withdrew from his smile and turned his head.
"Are you really reading?" Fan Xiaodong said uncertainly with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Under the thick eyebrows, the dark eyes gurgled like beads, and I didn't know what I thought.
Hearing his son's strange words, Fan Longshan was deeply puzzled, holding the book himself, not reading the book: "Yes, isn't this a book?"
Stretched out his hand holding the book and wanted to hand it to Fan Xiaodong to read, but soon he understood that Fan Xiaodong asked what he wanted, could the person holding the book upside down be reading the book? Hurriedly retracted the hand holding the book, his old face was red, and he was a little embarrassed. Coughed dryly twice to hide the embarrassment and said, "Xiaodong, what are you doing?"
As soon as it came to business, Fan Xiaodong immediately said as if he had changed someone, and said seriously: "Father, I want to create a special department for the family, I don't know how you are." ”
"Oh, what kind of department. Fan Longshan said with interest.
"Hiding in the shadows, obeying only the chief's department, is a symbol of the patriarch's power. ”
"What do you want to do. After thinking about it for a while, I figured out the key to it, and was obviously moved by Fan Xiaodong's words.
"Divided into two departments, the Tiangang Department, and the Earth Demon Department, there are thirty-six people in Tiangang and seventy-two people in the Earth Evil, Tiangang is responsible for assassination, the task of protecting the patriarch, and the Earth Demon is responsible for finding out the news. Fan Xiaodong said the thoughts that he had already done well one by one.
"What needs to be done from me. Clearly, Fan Longshan had agreed with him.
"Tomorrow morning, let all the members of the family between the ages of fifteen and twenty climb the mountain, and remember, they are not allowed to eat breakfast. ”
"Climb the mountain. Fan Longshan couldn't figure out what kind of gourd Fan Xiaodong was buying in his mind and what he was going to do.
"Yes, climb the mountain, it's still the highest mountain in Longyue City, Longyue Mountain, return when you are close to the fog, climb back and forth, and don't stop without my order. He chuckled and sold it without explaining why
"Quick, faster, whoever can't climb enough ten times is not allowed to eat. A man in black stood halfway up the mountain, on a huge stone, with a fierce voice, holding a leather whip in his hand, looking at the Fan family members who were running slowly past him, panting and suffocating his face and reddening. Listening to the characteristics of that voice, it was obviously Wang Dong beside Fan Xiaodong.
"Endure hardships and become a master, I tell you that this mountain climb will have unexpected results for you. Another man in black encouraged him. Listening to his somewhat old voice, it should be Han Gang.
After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and there was an unexpected result, the legs that were originally a little soft were full of strength here, swept away the weak momentum, and rushed forward. They are now adoring these black-clothed people, and the pills they take out casually can greatly increase their strength, and what else doesn't believe them. Now I'm working hard and want to finish it quickly.
Everyone was flushed, their legs had already disrupted the rhythm of running forward, and their eyes were suddenly blurred, but they still didn't stop, as if they wanted to prove something.
But soon, the interest is always momentary, and if they don't climb enough to go back and forth, some people will act slowly, sweating profusely, and some people even sit on the ground with their hands on the ground, panting, their chests are very tight, and they breathe quickly, and they don't even have the strength to speak. What's more, some people stayed directly at the bottom of the mountain and did not come up again.
For these phenomena, the three of Nanyi just shook their heads lightly, obviously giving up on them
"Boss, you say, who are these people, what the hell are they doing? On the other side, there was also a group of people in black, who were tiptoeing, observing every move on this side, one of them.
"It's not an alchemist!" I have already received an order from the emperor that the pill auctioned by Tianyi Auction House is from this alchemist, and this alchemist is from the Fan family. The middle-aged man, holding a scimitar in his hand, said in a thick voice.
"What, boss, you said, that alchemist turned out to be" The man in black was obviously shocked, although I couldn't see his expression, but I think his eyes must be wide open. There was a tremor in the voice.
"Just know the way yourself. The middle-aged man turned his head, glanced at the man, frowned a little, and said unhappily.
Frightened, he said a little brightly: "Zhilu Dao, boss, what do you say he asked them to climb the mountain." He glanced at the Fan family, who was getting less and less.
"Everyone's cultivation is progressing rapidly, obviously the result of taking pills, this kind of behavior of pulling out seedlings to promote it, although it can make the cultivation skyrocket for a while, but after a long time, many drawbacks will emerge, which is not good for the future, he does this, he can further refine the residual medicinal power in their bodies, and can also let the impurities be eliminated from the body through sweat, it is simply killing two birds with one stone. After saying the most ridiculous, the man in black also had to be admired.
However, he didn't know what to do, Fan Xiaodong killed four birds with one stone, he only said two points, and there were two points that he didn't guess
"Old Han, the man in black over there must be someone from the royal family, and he has been watching there for a long time. Feeling that there was always someone behind him, after careful observation, in the name of Nanyi's assassination god, how could he not know, and immediately asked Han Gang on the side.
"Yes, the young master has already learned the truth, and there is a communication Yu Pei to inform me, don't let us take care of him. Han Gang had obviously discovered them a long time ago, and he was just carrying out Fan Xiaodong's orders, but he didn't expect that Nan Yi would be able to find out, and he couldn't help but be impressed by him
Longyue Mountain, near the edge, a figure stood proudly, his eyes slightly closed, obviously, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, for the clansmen who kept running around him, no matter what he asked, he would run with them, and suddenly his eyes suddenly opened, and the sharp light, through the black veil, shot straight to the top of Longyue Mountain through the thick fog, except for the fog or fog, there was nothing. Retracting his gaze, a Sichuan character appeared between Fan Xiaodong's eyebrows, "What's the matter, I obviously feel that someone is peeping, why isn't it? Is it my hallucination? No, since I practiced the "Five Organs Divine Technique", my ears and eyes are clear, and my feeling is very strong, how can there be an illusion, it seems that this Longyue Mountain is really mysterious, and I will come to break through when I have time." There must be no hidden danger in the family. ”
Retracted his mind, waited for a long time, and no one came up again, so he turned into a clear breeze, like an arrow from Xuan, the speed was so fast that it made people smack their tongues, and soon disappeared.
"Ha Luha, this kid, I like it, the sensitivity is so amazing, but after a glance, I was discovered. If he has a spiritual root, it will be even better, and he can join my sect. On the top of Longyue Mountain, on a boulder, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged and muttered to himself. Then he closed his eyes, held the spirit stone in his hand, and cultivated.
On the square in front of Fanfu, there was a crowd of people again, and the difference from last time was that this time the clansmen were all sweating profusely, out of breath, some collapsed to the ground, some sat on the ground, and some were weak although they were standing.
Fan Longshan, who was standing on the square, the three elders, and Fan Xiaodong, Nanyi and others who were dressed in black.
glanced at the clansmen below lightly, and turned around and said, "Xiaodong, what to do next." ”
'Father, how many of your people have run ten times?' Looking at the compatriots below, a smile hung on the corner of Fan Xiaodong's mouth, looking at their performance, it seemed that his goal had been achieved.
"One hundred and sixteen people in total, here's the list. He checked the number of people and handed him a list.
Looking at the list of names, even the rankings were arranged, I was deeply satisfied, nodded slightly, and said to the list: "The following names are read to the backyard, Fan Dong, Fan Jia read one hundred and eight names in one breath." ”
"The remaining eight people, who had finished the race, and who had not read it, came to see me when they came out. After speaking, he took Nanyi and the three of them to the backyard.
The people who read the name, at this time, still had the feeling of exhaustion just now, they were all alive, smiling, and walking towards the backyard.
And everyone who didn't finish the run was all depressed, and what's more, some people slapped themselves a few times, hating themselves for not being angry, and they gave up such a good opportunity.
Looking at the one hundred and eight clansmen with hippie smiling faces in the backyard hall, Fan Xiaodong frowned, and shouted, "Give me a serious face." What kind of system does this look become, do you think that after running the whole process, you are better than those people outside? To be honest, some of you can't even beat the people outside, but you only finish it with enthusiasm and perseverance. ”
The words were said mercilessly, which made everyone lose their spirits, lowered their heads, and their faces were hot, feeling ashamed.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Fan Xiaodong coughed dryly twice and continued: "From the first place to the thirty-sixth place. ”
"Brush"
Thirty-six people, with a strong wind, came out of the column at the same time, without the slightest drag, held their heads high, and shouted in unison: "Arrived." ”
The reaction was fast and neat, so that Fan Xiaodong was deeply satisfied: "From now on, you will go in and out together, train together, and the number of Tiangang on the thirty-sixth day will be called the Tiangang Squad, which is specifically responsible for assassinating and protecting the patriarch." Listen only to the orders of the people. ”
The people will understand. Fan Xiaodong's loud voice suddenly came out.
"Understood. The momentum was so great that Fan Xiaodong was stunned.
"Fan Dong is the captain, Fan Jia is the vice captain, I will follow him to train in the future, and he will be your master in the future. He pointed to Nanyi Road beside him. Nanyi is known as the God of Thorns, and he happens to be their master.
Everyone was stunned, and the thirty-six clansmen hurriedly knelt down on one knee: "See the master." ”
"Young Master, can I?" Nan Yi didn't agree, but asked. Seeing Fan Xiaodong nodding, he took on this glorious and arduous task: "Get up." Wait for me tomorrow in the back mountain. ”
"The remaining seventy-two people are the Earth Demon Squad, which is responsible for finding out the news, Fan Yi is the captain, Fan Bing is the deputy captain, and they are training with Han Lao. ”
Soon, everyone left with a smile after worshipping the teacher, waiting for the next day's training.
After everyone left, the other eight people walked in excitedly.
"Do you want you to come, because you are indomitable, you never give up, even if you can't climb, you are still persevering. And alchemists need such a spirit. Fan Xiaodong went straight to the point and explained directly. After all, he is leaving, even if he refines more pills for the family, there will be a day when he will be exhausted, and only by passing on the alchemy technique will it be passed on.
"This is the alchemy method and some of my experiences, you can see it yourself, you can discuss it with each other, if you don't know how to write it down, I will give you a unified answer. Seeing that everyone was speechless in shock, Fan Xiaodong put things on the table and turned to leave.
