In the evening, Yin Zhiping left the valley where he lived, wanting to hunt birds and beasts outside the valley and come back for dinner.

The valley where he now lives is not very large, but because there is a natural cave in the leeward part of the mountainside, and there is a mountain spring flowing in the valley, it is more convenient to get water, and the living conditions are better than elsewhere, so he uses it as a place to live.

However, because this valley is not big, after more than ten days, he has almost caught and killed the birds and beasts hidden in the valley, and the rest have fled in fright, so that now there are no birds and beasts in the valley that can be inhabited. If he wanted to hunt now, he had to go out of the valley.

Out of the valley, he was not in a hurry to look for birds and beasts for a while, but walked around leisurely and casually, while paying attention to whether there were any birds and beasts hiding or passing by. It's not good to live alone, and you have to do everything yourself. It often takes a lot of effort to cook a meal, from collecting firewood to shooting down prey, until it is finally grilled and ready to be eaten.

Yin Zhiping is not a person who is accustomed to living a hard life, he can endure it when there is no condition, and he can also struggle in hardship. But if conditions allow, he also hopes to be able to enjoy himself and make his life easier and more comfortable.

At this time, thinking of the pain of having to cook by himself every day, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "Strange Dao, since ancient times, those who have lived in seclusion will accept some disciples and children to serve around them. As the saying goes, 'a disciple who has something to do does is to do his work', and the disciples who are accepted are used to do these trivial chores. Cooking, collecting firewood, sprinkling and sweeping, fetching water can all be handed over to the disciples or boys to do. And away from these mundane things. Recluses can also be able to concentrate more on cultivation without distractions. ”

Thinking of this, Yin Zhiping suddenly remembered a five-character poem he had learned when he was in school in his previous life. The title of the poem "The Hermit is Not Encountered" was written by Jia Dao in the Tang Dynasty, and the poem said: "Panasonic asked the boy, and the teacher went to collect medicine." Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and do not know where. ”

He used to read this poem and felt that it was a description of the artistic conception of a hermit, in the poem, the white clouds are higher than the hermit, and the pine is a metaphor for the hermit's bones. Writing about the search is not encountered, and the admiration for the hermit is more and more set off. But then I remembered. I read it silently. But he just said the word "boy". It seems that no matter how noble the hermit is, there must be a boy around him to serve, unless he has reached the realm of Bigu where he can eat and drink dew and not eat the fireworks of the world. There was no need to eat at that time. But there will be no more such mundane things.

But in terms of Yin Zhiping's current skills. At most, it can only last for three or five days without eating. If you have saliva to drink every day. Or you can last for ten days and a half months, but in any case, you can't go without food for a long time. "Bigu" is a legendary realm. He's a long way from it now.

"If I want to live in seclusion in Huashan for a long time, it seems that I also need to find a boy to serve me, and push the trivial chores such as cooking to the boy to do. Away from these mundane things, I was able to concentrate more on my cultivation. ”

However, he is not a person who likes to be served, and in his previous life, he was used to living alone, and he prefers to live a free life alone. It's just that this ancient world is in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, but it is comparable to the modernity of his previous life. In the previous life, there were all kinds of life conveniences, direct supply of water and electricity, shopping can be done without going out, directly online orders, express delivery services to the home, delivered to the door. If you are hungry, you can order all kinds of takeout, or make your own instant noodles, as well as a variety of quick-frozen convenience foods. Anyway, compared to ancient times, everything is very convenient.

But in this ancient world, if you live alone, you will have all kinds of inconveniences, and you have to do everything yourself. "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing", it sounds good, but in fact, it is all kinds of hardship. He can also enjoy the bitterness, but if the conditions allow, he naturally hopes to be able to live a more relaxed and comfortable life.

"The boys of the people are all willing to follow, or they simply beg for help to come to the door to do these kinds of work. As long as the hermit who follows can occasionally pass on the skills of both hands, these children are often inexhaustible for the rest of their lives. Speaking of which, it is also a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer. However, no matter how it is, it is still a bit of a trick to deceive other boys to do coolies. I can't do such a thing, so it's better to just spend money to hire one, and the price is clearly marked, but there is no deception. I spend money on services, and I also have a clear conscience. ”

In fact, he has now accepted two disciples to get started, and in line with the principle of "having something to do with the disciples", he can also recruit his own disciples to do such things. But he didn't think about it at all. In ancient times, he couldn't accept this kind of way of teaching each other between master and apprentice, and treating his own disciples as miscellaneous servants. It is said to test the mind, first to work his mind and to work his muscles and bones, but in the final analysis, he can't get rid of the suspicion of treating his disciples as free labor.

What's worse is that at the beginning of the entry, they don't teach any skills at all. It takes a few years of hard work before it is officially taught. This situation, especially in the world, is very many people who have entered various shops as apprentices. In the martial arts, this situation is not uncommon.

Suddenly, a pheasant flew up from the grass on the left, and Yin Zhiping was playing with two stones in his hand, and when he saw this, he immediately took off his hand and shot one. The stone flew like a meteor, and with a "bang", it hit the pheasant's neck and broke it directly, and the pheasant fell down without even making a wail.

Before the pheasant landed, Yin Zhiping had already dodged over and reached out to catch it. I picked it up and took a look, but I felt that this one was inevitably thinner, and I was afraid that it would not be enough to eat. And tonight the prey is enough, and tomorrow morning there is no need to bother to run more, so I will continue to look for the prey.

After walking for a while, he suddenly moved his ears, and heard the faint sound of shouting and fighting from the west, and listened more closely, and the sound of blades breaking through the air. Immediately, his heart moved, slowed down, and began to work lightly and approached the past.

After walking more than ten feet, he had seen two figures hovering and fighting in the afterglow of the setting sun among the rugged mountains and rocks in the distance. After seeing the two people fighting, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The two figures, one of them was slender, dressed in white clothes like snow, but each hand held a black long sword. The two swords were black and dull, like two pieces of withered ebony.

Yin Zhiping recognized these two swords, they were the two swords of the gentleman and the lady, and the person holding the sword, he recognized it even more, it was the little dragon girl, but for no reason he ran to this Huashan. And the person who was fighting with Xiaolongnu also surprised him very much, but that person was Ouyang Feng, the western poison. (To be continued......)
