Chapter 7 Difficulties
Ye Xiu looked at the sky that was already faintly bright, and an extremely ridiculous thought instantly came into his mind: "I stayed in that space for a while, but it can't be more than a day, so now, it's still that night!"
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu's heart beat violently. If this is the case, then even if the old man says that his qualifications are extremely poor, with several times the time, he is confident that he can become an immortal!
Ye Xiu looked at the stone carving in his hand, and the excitement in his eyes quickly faded and became solemn. A palm-sized stone carving actually hides an infinite space, and most importantly, the time in the space is actually several times that of the outside. Ye Xiu finally realized the importance and preciousness of this stone carving. The thought of rotting the secret of this stone carving in the bottom of my heart became clear again.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, Ye Xiu could only wait for the next time to explore the secret of this stone carving, and the most important thing now was not to let others feel his strangeness.
Ye Xiu took the stone carving into his arms, and then returned to his house, he returned to the bed lightly. Ye Xiu wanted to sleep, but after experiencing this incident, he couldn't continue to sleep, and he was recalling that space and the black cat all the time.
The black cat's last expression was obviously hairy, and it was too human-like for an animal. It's like a reaction to a violation of my dignity. Ye Xiu lay on the bed and thought about a lot of things, about the stone tablet engraved with his name, about that space, about the milky white droplets, and so on. Slowly, Ye Xiu unconsciously fell asleep again.
"Open the door, waste, get up quickly!" At this time, a noisy knock sounded, directly waking Ye Xiu up from the bed. By this time it was already dawning, and it seemed that he was still asleep. Ye Xiu put the stone carving on the side close to his arms, and then opened the door.
"Hmph, you shitty finally got up, I really thought I could sleep peacefully, I'll see if you still have that kind of mind later. It was the fierce young man who joined the sect with him who patted the door, and now he had a joke on his face.
"Go and see what's going on, hum!" said a word of resentment on the young man's face and left. He is in charge of the pockmarked young man.
"It's here!" Ye Xiu said secretly in his heart, and then walked towards the compound.
"Hmph, isn't this the wasted boy who doesn't have to work? Why did you wake up so early today, I thought you could sleep until dinner. ”
"You don't know this, others are too wasteful to get up, hahaha. ”
Along the way of Ye Xiu, many miscellaneous disciples saw that he was talking badly to each other, but he didn't pay attention to it.
"I didn't expect you kid to be lazy on the first day, and immediately went to fetch water and chop firewood for 300 catties each, and when he finished doing it, he would have food to eat. As soon as Ye Xiu walked in the door, the sharp voice of the pockmarked young man came, and the blue-robed Fang Jie beside him was sitting on the stone table drinking tea.
"The disciple knows his mistake, so he goes to work. Ye Xiu was unexpectedly obedient, without the slightest dissatisfaction. This scene fell into the eyes of those miscellaneous disciples, making them feel that Ye Xiu was such a waste, weak and afraid of things.
Fang Jie looked at him, with a look of resentment, because he had been deducted from his resources for a month, and he had to come to this place to receive punishment, although the pock-faced monk didn't dare to do anything for him, but when he thought that he was going to stay in this ghost place for a month, he was angry, but he was extremely happy when he saw Ye Xiu suffering.
Ye Xiu's actions fell in the eyes of He Steward, but he was forbearing! As a steward, he was accustomed to seeing the intrigue of these disciples, and he immediately saw what many people did not see.
Ye Xiu took the axe and began to chop wood on the mountain, when he was tired, he took a rest, and then continued to chop, and so on.
"Hmph! you deserve it, it's obviously a waste, and you still don't want to work, or Senior Brother Fang Jie can see it thoroughly, come over to supervise the work, and see if you're still idle." ”
"Yo, isn't this Young Master Ye, why do you have to work, isn't there someone to help you intercede?"
Ye Xiu was ridiculed, but he didn't pay attention to it, just chopping wood vigorously. A day passed, but he still had half of the firewood cut and the three hundred catties of water he hadn't picked up.
Ye Xiu picked some fruits and mushrooms in the mountains, rinsed them by the stream and swallowed them, and when the night was darker and he was sure that there was no one, he took out the stone carvings in his arms.
When the stone carving was exposed to the moonlight, another thumb-thick silver bead melted into the stone carving, and a milky white droplet began to form and then dripped down. And Ye Xiu took out a small stone pot and put the droplets into it. He decided to store the droplets first, and it was useless to enter the space now.
Ye Xiu returned to his room, and then fell asleep. The next morning he got up to chop wood, and when the sun went down he finally finished chopping the firewood and began to fetch water.
After Ye Xiu found some mushrooms to eat halfway, he began to carry water, but at this time, he encountered difficulties. On the way to carry water, he was directly pushed by someone, and the water was sprinkled on the ground, and he had to return to the river to carry water.
"Yo, what's wrong, are your legs weak?" said the tall disciple who pushed Ye Xiu down.
Ye Xiu didn't get angry, got up and left, and continued to carry water, but he was pushed to the ground by several people. No matter how many times Ye Xiu was pushed, he didn't get angry, and in their eyes, he became extremely cowardly.
"Haha, it's not just waste, it's still bad goods. ”
"It's boring, you're so scared, get out of the sect. ”
Ye Xiu was harassed, but they quickly lost interest in Ye Xiu, who was silent, and they didn't make it difficult for him anymore, but the verbal insults didn't stop.
This time, when Ye Xiu was carrying water, he was directly kicked into the water, and his whole person was soaked.
"Haha, Luotang Chicken, if it weren't for the sect's prohibition of killing, I would have killed you early in the morning, and when I see me in the future, remember to avoid it early, otherwise it will not be good if I beat you seriously by mistake. Fang Jie's voice came from behind.
Ye Xiu turned around, sure enough, it was him, he left directly after finishing speaking, and he didn't look at Ye Xiu at all. I thought it was because I came out for a walk and just happened to meet him before I kicked him directly into the water.
The look of anger flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes, but the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, as he remembered the stone pot he was carrying.
Sure enough, when he took out the stone pot, it was already filled with clear water, and the milky white liquid had already been diluted and melted into the river.
Although Ye Xiu's face was full of pity, the clear water in the stone pot became extremely cold, and he could feel it through the stone pot.
"Difficulty: This droplet is going to be used in clean water?" The thought immediately took over his mind, but he still suppressed the urge to take it and decided to try it first.
In the evening, Ye Xiu took out the stone carving again, condensed a droplet, and put it into the stone pot he had taken from other empty houses. Ye Xiu waited for the dead of night before going out to bury the stone pot containing milky white droplets under a tree.
Ye Xiu took advantage of the night to catch a pheasant in the mountains, then took out the stone pot containing the water and poured the water that had been mixed into the droplets into the pheasant's mouth.
The pheasant drank the water, and instead of exploding as Ye Xiu expected, it began to struggle violently. Ye Xiu threw the pheasant on the ground. I saw the pheasant running away, much faster than when Ye Xiu caught it.
Ye Xiu chased the pheasant, and after running for a while, he stopped without seeing anything happen to the pheasant.
"It seems that this clear water has made this pheasant more violent. Ye Xiu's face was excited, he could clearly feel that the strength of the pheasant when he struggled in his hand just now had increased a lot, it seemed that this droplet was really an incredible thing.
Ye Xiu looked at the stone pot in his hand, his face showed ruthlessness, he didn't have so many scruples, and then took a sip of water.
"Hmm!" Qing Shui entered Ye Xiu's body, and he suddenly felt that the fatigue in his body had been reduced a lot, and the pain from the muscle strain in the past two days had also disappeared in an instant, and his eyes also showed irrepressible excitement.
Ye Xiu took a few more sips, then put away the stone pot, and then returned to his house and went to sleep.
The next day, Ye Xiu continued to fetch water, and the disciples along the way still mocked him. When the sun went down again, Ye Xiu finally completed his task, and he could go back to the courtyard for a meal.
Ye Xiu hadn't eaten enough in the past few days, but fortunately, he had discovered the magic of the droplets the night before, so that his body would not be too overdrawn.
Ye Xiu was ostracized by everyone, and was directly pushed away by a group of big men without even getting close to the table during the meal. Ye Xiu hid the anger in his eyes and withdrew. However, at this time, Steward He took out a meal for him alone, and Fang Jie was not here at this time.
"I was also forced to be helpless, I put some elixir in the meal, which is rich in spiritual energy, which can regulate the body. Steward He avoided everyone's gaze, handed the meal to Ye Xiu, and then turned around and left.
Ye Xiu took the food, and then returned to his house, but he smiled shamefully in his heart: "What is this matter is clear-minded, but I want to not offend both sides, how can there be such a good thing, take a bite and then give sugar to eat, hum!"
Although Ye Xiu laughed shamefully, he still ate this meal with confidence, from the beginning he said that he didn't need to work, he knew that he was tactful, and if he didn't say it well, he was a person who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, and he didn't worry that he would harm him.
"Huh?" Ye Xiu found that the function of this meal was actually very similar to that of Qing Shui, but the effect was much smaller, and he only felt that the fatigue of his body had been relieved a little.
Ye Xiu's eyes showed a look of excitement, he now finally knew that the function of the droplet could actually make the clear water contain aura!
In the middle of the night, Ye Xiu came to the place where the stone pot was buried again, dug out the stone pot, and then deposited a drop of liquid before re-burying it. The next morning, he continued to go to He Steward's Office to collect miscellaneous labor, because Fang Jie would not let him go easily, and his workload had hardly changed.
