Chapter 45 Small
Putting away the wooden man, Zong Ying took Chu Lan away, but he clearly told his Taoist that he would only help her go down the mountain to collect rice once, and next time she would have to climb down the mountain and operate the wooden man to harvest and sow rice by herself.
Chu Lan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, but was a little eager to try, thinking that he would take the wooden figure and try it again in two months.
If two months have passed, when Chu Lan's qi sea has vaguely grown from "small walnuts" to "big walnuts", the rice tank has bottomed out, and she has to go down the mountain to harvest rice.
The fertile fields under the mountain are left unattended, and only the outer disciples who belong to each group eat and harvest at will, and if there is any unharvested rice that has not been harvested, it will be collected by the outer disciples on duty.
Facing the bright sunshine, Chu Lan walked briskly down the mountain along the path, the road surface was not wide, and the Lancang faction adhered to the concept of "returning to the basics", and did not use magic to strengthen the road surface, retaining its potholed original flavor, known as "conducive to improving the concentration and agility of mountain climbing disciples".
Walking on such a winding road, avoiding rabbit holes that can break people's feet and necks, and beware of reptiles swimming in the grass on the side of the road, Chu Lan walked quickly, but not in a hurry.
The trees are dense, there is no one around, Chu Lan hummed a little tune out of tune, holding the green Yimu Ding in his hand, his mind was far away and indifferent, and his five senses were naturally sharper than usual.
When he was about to reach the end of the path, through the dense mountain forest branches and leaves, Chu Lan vaguely saw that there seemed to be a tall figure similar to a wooden man shuttling between thousands of acres of fertile fields, although the movements were a little stiff, but the speed was very fast, as far as Chu Lan could see, there were already large fields of rice missing.
Today's outer disciples have come to harvest in unity?
Thinking like this, Chu Lan jumped off the narrow mountain road, took a shortcut through the grass, and walked towards the tall, stiff figure she saw closely.
The distance was shortened to within about fifty zhang, and Chu Lan frowned slightly—with her eyesight, she could clearly see that the rice was being harvested in the field, and it was not the wooden figure commonly used by the Lancang sect disciples.
Standing in the field, he spat out a whirlwind from his mouth, sucked the harvested rice from two deep hollows in his hands, and his whole body was clothed in gold and silver, and his head had two black holes and sharp teeth...... This is clearly a monster that comes from nowhere.
Chu Lan held his breath, looked into the distance, and saw that there was a very small black shadow at the end of the valley, and the black shadow was a human figure, with the black shadow raising his hands and feet, several monsters in the field made all kinds of actions, or harvesting, or releasing whirlwinds, or moving positions, they were extremely fast, and they quickly harvested the fertile fields of the valley at a speed visible to the naked eye, if it continued like this, it would not take half an hour, and the entire rice planting area belonging to the Lancang faction would be inchless.
Why did Xiaoxiao dare to grab food on the mountain of our Lancang faction!?
She was not angry in her heart, but Chu Lan's footsteps turned quickly, and the mountain road she was coming and going ran back lightly and silently - as far as she was now, it was only barely enough to beat a wild boar that had become a fine boar, and it was better to hand over the monsters in front of her who looked like they were not easy to mess with, along with the human form that manipulated them in the distance, it was better to hand them over to Zong Ying's "master" to deal with.
It's a pity that reality is always changing, and when Chu Lan ran up the mountain road less than a mile, the figures manipulating these "monsters" in the distance had already discovered her.
