Chapter 54: Provocation
In the following month, Zhang Di studied the new formation patterns in order to improve the success rate of the formation disk, and at the same time studied the spirit control bracelet given to him by the old donkey's head. At present, there is still more than a month before the spring valley is about to be planted, and the top priority at the moment is naturally to get the farming matter done first, and then we can free up our hands to study the cultivation matter.
So Zhang Di didn't go out of the gate, the second door didn't step, and Tianmao studied at home.
As the weather gets warmer day by day, the cold winter is gradually gone, the beautiful spring is coming, the green trees on Qingyue Mountain are full of green trees, birds and flowers, and many Lingnong busy figures appear on the surrounding hills, all preparing for spring sowing. The mountain of Zhangdi has also been assigned a lot of new spiritual farmers, all of whom have recently been recruited by the sect, and there are four or five people who have shared the spiritual field left by the old donkey's head, and under the leadership of Song Bin, who won the first place in the assessment of the land, he is in full swing to fertilize, irrigate, dig ridges, and prepare seeds.
"Several of you work together, you are responsible for carrying water from the bottom of the mountain, you are responsible for digging ridges, you are planting thorn saplings, you, don't just stand and watch, go and get me a pot of hot tea, don't be so eyeless!" Song Bin was wearing a thin shirt, revealing his full and strong chest muscles, and was standing in the field with his hands on his waist, giving orders to the new disciples around him, quite a little complacent.
This person is nearly six feet tall, his face is as black as iron, he was born with a good body, and he farmed and practiced martial arts at home before coming to Qingyue Mountain, and stood out in the farming assessment that day. Later, he was willing to work hard to farm the fields, and he would cater to Hao Ren, so among the outer disciples of Linggu Hall, he was relatively top-notch, and he was quite valued by Hao Ren, and at this time he had been promoted to a second-grade Lingnong.
Hao Ren arranged for him to come here to bring newcomers, from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain, and distributed more than a dozen pieces of spiritual fields to the new disciples for planting, and he had full authority to manage the new disciples.
"Senior Brother Song, you are a second-grade spiritual farmer, and you have more knowledge than us, why hasn't the senior brother named Zhang Di on the top of the mountain started to work? I see that he dug a manure tank and built a bamboo frame a few years ago, what did he want to do?" A clever disciple brought hot tea and handed it to Song Bin with both hands, and asked with a smile.
Song Bin took the teapot loudly, took a sip, squinted his eyes and looked up, from here you can see the corner of the Lingtian of Zhangdi, which is bare at this time, and has not started farming, only a lonely bamboo frame is set on the ground.
He didn't know what the intention was, but he couldn't appear ignorant in front of the new disciple, so he snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "What else can you want? I am farming in this Linggu Hall, I have consulted countless experienced old farmers, I have never heard of building bamboo frames before farming, digging manure tanks, but that is all high-level spiritual farmers do, that land is only a product of spiritual farmers at the moment, I heard that last year, three points of land only planted more than 120 catties, can only be said to barely pass, just with him still wants to play advanced farming methods, I think it is beyond my strength!"
The clever disciple nodded thoughtfully, but then remembered something, and asked again: "But Senior Brother Song, it seems that the junior brother once heard Uncle Hao mention that Senior Brother Zhang is now the personal disciple of Deputy Hall Master Hao, I don't know if you have heard of this? Since this person is so ordinary, how can he be accepted by Deputy Hall Master Hao as a personal disciple?"
This clever disciple mentioned Uncle Hao refers to Hao Yan, according to the seniority, he calls Hao Deputy Hall Master Shizun, after all, Hao Ren is an immortal master, he is just the most ordinary body refiner, and there is no direct master-apprentice relationship, but Hao Yan is a dignified third-level body refiner, and it is not an exaggeration to call him Uncle Shi.
When another disciple heard this, he came up and interjected: "Yes, yes, I also heard that Senior Brother Zhang interceded with the Formation Hall Immortal Master when he entered, and that Senior Brother Zhang did not pass the farming assessment, so he passed the test directly." By the way, Senior Brother Song, you should have also participated in the assessment that day, do you know this?"
Song Bin's face changed when he heard this, and he crushed the teapot in his hand with a click. Is there anyone better than him, he was the first place that day, and he completed the hoeing assessment at the earliest, after he handed in the results, he stood proudly in the shade to watch the other disciples hoe, and remembered very clearly at that time, the field was so tired that he fainted in the field, not only did he not complete the task, but also hoeed out the blood of his own soles, which is simply a waste!
But this is such a person, but there is an immortal master of the formation hall to intercede, and he can pass the test, and he can become a personal disciple of the immortal master after farming for more than half a year, and this kind of thing simply makes him jealous.
"What is the intention of Deputy Hall Master Hao? To accept such a person as a personal disciple, is there any fairness in heaven? According to the seniority, don't I have to call him uncle?" Song Bin's face was cloudy, and he scolded in his heart.
When several new disciples next to him saw him with such a face, they all knew that they had accidentally said the wrong thing, so they hid far away one by one and buried themselves in work, for fear of touching his moldy head.
Song Bin suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw the expressions of the disciples, he became even more angry in his heart, and said secretly: "These people are so inflammatory, if they can't overpower Zhang Di, how can they bring new people in the future? Although I, Song Bin, am the first among the new disciples, do I have to be robbed of the limelight by that guy?"
No, no! Deputy Hall Master Hao arranged for me to come here to bring a newcomer that day, and asked me to pay attention to Zhang Di's every move, which shows that Deputy Hall Master Hao must have a deep meaning in accepting him as a disciple, I have to go up and have a look, try the depth of this guy!"
Thinking of this, he waved his hand, threw all the pieces of the teapot in his hand on the ground, and shouted to the new disciples: "Don't farm, come up the mountain with me!" Now that the whole mountain is under my management, I naturally want to go and see how that Senior Brother Zhang is farming, and if there is anything unique, do you say?"
"Yes, yes. Those few people echoed and understood, this Senior Brother Song was going to find trouble, and their newcomers also wanted to see the excitement and see what the mysterious Senior Brother Zhang was capable of, so their faces showed enthusiasm.
"Let's go!" Song Bin lifted the spirit hoe and strode away first, and several people behind him glanced at each other, and followed with empty hands very tacitly.
Everyone knows in their hearts that now the two tigers are fighting, and they can't stand in the wrong line, if they go with a hoe, then it is clear that they want to help Senior Brother Song, and go empty-handed, that is not to help each other, and then we will see the situation.
The group soon came to the courtyard of Zhangdi on the mountain, and Song Bin raised his breath and shouted: "Senior Brother Zhang, brother Song Bin is visiting, are you in the house?"
There was no response in the house, and after a long time, just as he was about to shout again, the door opened, and he walked out with his hair disheveled, a coat, and red eyes, as if he were taking a nap.
Song Bin was even more disdainful, looked up at the sun hanging high, and sneered: "Senior Brother Zhang is so elegant! The sun is on his buttocks, and he is still sleeping." ”
Zhang Di stood at the door, his eyes fell on him, he looked coldly for a moment, and then swept over the people around him, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Song, I don't know what happened to you?"
"That's right, Deputy Hall Master Hao ordered me to lead the newcomers here and plant the spiritual field, just now they mentioned Senior Brother Zhang, and they all said that you dig a manure tank on this hill and build a bamboo frame, I don't know how you farm, I want to come and learn it. I don't know if Senior Brother Zhang can easily give advice?" Song Bin clasped his arms with both hands, and his eyes were provocative.
"I'm not interested, please go back!" Zhang Di said coldly, turned around and walked into the house.
"Senior Brother Zhang, please wait a moment, why refuse people thousands of miles away!" Song Bin chuckled, his figure jumped suddenly, stretched out his slap from behind, and slapped Zhang Di's shoulder.
In Song Bin's opinion, his current physique is stronger than all the new disciples in the Linggu Hall, he has eaten Linggu for most of the past half a year, and he went to the Refining Hall to practice martial arts, at this time he is already the second level of refining the body, and it is naturally not a problem to deal with such a thin guy as Zhang Di, so he wants to make him ugly in front of everyone.
