Volume 1 Youth Chapter Recalling the Past, Taking Risks
Chapter 17 Reminiscing about the past and taking risks
"Junior brother, you are too perverted. Carrying two buckets of water and walking becomes easier each time. It doesn't look like it would fall when the wind blows. Sister, I have been here for several years, and I am only at the sixth level. I haven't reached it yet.
There is a sword that I like, but I don’t know when I will become a female swordsman in the world.” On the familiar path, Senior Sister Liuye held water and spoke enviously to Qin Junze.
"You, please stop complaining. The elders have already said that your talents are good. Don't keep comparing yourself with your junior brother. Who in the whole building doesn't know that our old building owner has accepted a monster disciple? I think he was in the washing pool back then."
The story has spread all over the place." Senior Brother Wang Hai, who looked even fatter, comforted him with a smile.
"Okay, you two, don't make fun of me. It's not like you don't know how strict my master is to me. I've been living a three-point-one-line life for more than half a year. I haven't even seen the gate for a second time. You two
But I can go back to my hometown every once in a while to eat, drink and have fun. If I don’t gain something, I won’t be able to survive in the future.”
"Yes, yes, my junior brother is the most pitiful, well-behaved and hardworking. If you have a chance, senior sister will take you out to play." Liu Ye turned away from sadness and happily stretched out a hand to stroke Qin Junze's head. He was already cute.
With her little face and willow eyebrows, and this silly coaxing tone, she looks like a child comforting a pet.
Senior Brother Li Feng has always had an upright character. He doesn't like to joke or talk. He just smiles a lot. However, what Liu Ye said just now seems to have caught his mind. He doesn't know what he is thinking.
Chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, Senior Brother Li Feng stopped, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Junior Sister Liu Ye, I remember that those who study in Tianji Tower have to pass the Wanzang Mountain assessment if they want to formally leave the mountain. Those who practice martial arts can also go to Wanzang Mountain.
Find your own opportunity in the mountains."
Liu Ye blinked his big eyes, puzzled: "Of course, senior brother, this is the rule over the years. You got started before me, so you must know it. Every year after the Qingming Festival, most disciples can apply for a collective assessment, which is called
"Walking in the mountains." Qin Junze and Wang Hai also felt puzzled that Li Feng was a little different today.
"I don't want to break this centuries-old rule, but I have something urgent to leave, and there are no sect tasks to do recently. It's still early for next year's assessment. I want to go by myself. Regardless of whether I gain something or not, I will leave as soon as I get out.
Wait until I come back to apologize to the elders."
Everyone was dumbfounded, Qin Junze hurriedly advised: "Why is this, Senior Brother Li? Regardless of whether he was punished for breaking the rules or not, I heard that several elders will be escorted to protect him during every assessment. The master also said, let me
Go check it out when you reach the seventh level. It’s too risky for you to do this.”
Li Feng shook his head: "I can't wait any longer. I have to go back, otherwise I may regret it for the rest of my life."
"Why is it so urgent? From what I know about you, junior sister, senior brother, you always have a zombie face. Nothing has ever moved you. What is going on this time?"
Putting down the long pole and bucket in his hands, Li Feng sat on the ground with an expressionless face, "My hometown is from Hangzhou. My great-grandfather started the business by doing some contract engineering, and the family is quite wealthy. However, after my great-grandfather left, my grandfather took over, and my grandfather was too much."
Justice, who does not know the slightest tact, also called on the whole city to boycott a low-quality brick dealer, saying that our family has been in business for many years, and the bricks of this shop often have problems, are fragile and unstable, but the family has a big business and a long time.
In anger, he even ordered people to smash up our house. My grandfather fought hard and was beaten to death until he became paralyzed.
Although that family was arrested by the government and sentenced to several years, I recently sent a small letter saying that the governor of Hangzhou Mingjing was changed, and the new one somehow commuted their sentences, released them directly from prison, and threatened to
To take revenge on my grandfather. The last time I went home to visit my family, I noticed something was wrong with my face. I am very worried now. I am afraid that if I don’t go back~” The more I talked about it, the more excited I became. This is the first time I have seen Senior Brother Li Feng lose his composure.
"I have decided that I will not come back this time. I will stay at home to protect my family. I know that I have to take an exam before I can officially leave Tianji Tower, but I am really afraid. Next year, I am afraid that I will have no choice but to rush back~"
Wang Hai suddenly asked: "Brother, why don't you just go back? Why go to Wanzang Mountain?"
Li Feng wiped his tears and grinned, "The original poster saved me when he was traveling abroad and was willing to take me back to study in the building. How can I forget this kindness? The application for visiting relatives has just been approved, and I have just gone back.
In one month, if I don’t go to Wanzang Mountain, there will be no mission. If I go out secretly and never come back, I will be regarded as betraying the sect. I really don’t want to embarrass the poster. What’s more, I want to protect my family when I go back this time. I will visit for two days and then leave.
How can it be useful? What should I do if those people come to my house again after I leave? These are all unknowns. I can only feel at ease if I stay with them all the time. "
Liu Ye stopped talking and felt very depressed, with tears welling up in his eyes, "But, senior brother, if the elder is not here, it will be very dangerous for you to go into the mountain alone. What if something unexpected happens to your family?"
?"
"If it really comes to this point, it will be my last confession in this world. I'm afraid my family will not be spared, so I should go to Huangquan Road in advance to wait for them."
Qin Junze wanted to say something else, but he finally opened his mouth and could not say the words of retention. After all, if it were him, he would probably make the same decision.
Patting the dust off his butt, Li Feng stood up with a smile, "Why are you so pessimistic? I'm about to enter the seventh level, and I'm not far away from the requirements to enter the mountain. Maybe I can cope with the dangers inside.
." After saying that, he picked up the water and walked back.
Qin Junze and the three of them looked at each other. After getting along for a long time, they knew everything.
Qin Junze called Li Feng, "Senior brother, we support your decision, but we plan to go with you, and we can guarantee that we will take care of each other."
"Nonsense! Are you going on a trip? How can you go? It's so dangerous. What if you~
If the sect finds out about this, you will most likely be implicated by me!"
Wang Hai looked at Li Feng and said optimistically: "Senior brother, don't worry, if we all come back alive, then we will be blessed. The elders will not punish us severely. At most, we will give you a small punishment just to show off."
Qin Junze also interjected, "Yes, senior brother, and senior brother Wang Hai is good at using poison and healing, and senior sister Liu is also at the sixth level. Although I am not strong enough, I can still attack. There are more people and more power, just in case it happens."
Because if we succeed, wouldn't it be better for you and your family?"
With trembling hands, Li Feng suddenly threw away the bucket, hugged the three of them, and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, thank you."
Just because we all know what kind of person each other is, we don't say too many words.
Late at night the next day, four sneaky figures quietly left Tianji Tower, carrying baggage and weapons with them, and headed for Manzang Mountain.
Wanzang Mountain is actually not far from Tianji Tower, only three hills apart, but it is quite strenuous to walk because it is primitive and almost no one has developed it. I don’t know how old the trees here are.
A lonely mountain is surrounded by a large circular river. It is separated from the hilltop where Tianji Tower is located and other mountains in Qinling Mountains. It is deserted. It is said that because of this, the elders of Tianji Tower in the past generations will put some of their income into it, and it becomes Tianji Tower.
In the Wanzang Mountain in the building, disciples have to pass through trials before coming out of the mountain. Disciples who practice martial arts can also choose a weapon of their own, but those who are not strong enough are likely to die here. People who have never been there still have it.
Some people are afraid. Except for the older generation who stayed in the building, everyone who has been here has basically gone down the mountain to make their own names. However, Tianji Tower also has an interesting rule. Any disciple who leaves the mountain is not allowed to report to the sect, saying:
Anyone who leaves the mountain will not enter my Tianji Tower. This does not mean that you are not allowed to return to the sect, but you cannot wander outside as a disciple of Tianji Tower. This is why Tianji Tower is very famous but few people know or recognize it.
Moreover, when traveling outside the country, one is not allowed to accept disciples without the permission of the elders.
The four of them finally walked all the way to the big river. This unnamed river was nearly a hundred meters wide. During the assessment, the elders would prepare several rafts to lead them. However, Qin Junze and several people sneaked over, so there were no rafts prepared. The four people
I stood by the river and walked around. I didn't think about how to get there. I wanted to cut down a tree and make a raft myself, but the rope I brought with me was not long enough. The water seemed to be deep. Qin Junze and Li Feng were both water-savvy.
It's just that there is no way to bring Wang Hai and Liu Ye to swim there together. Since they have sneaked out in violation of the regulations, how can they just go back?
After running for a long time on the mountain road to get here, how could we crawl back without even seeing each other? None of the four of them could afford to lose face like this, and Li Feng was waiting to go home to see his family, so how could he leave!
Qin Junze sat on a big stone slab by the river, with his right hand hanging on his thigh, rubbing his left index finger and thumb secretly, sometimes switching to his right hand to hold his head, and tapping his temple rhythmically with his index finger. Suddenly, his eyes
Yi Liang said, "I have an idea. Although it's not very comfortable, I should be able to get through it without any accidents."
The three people gathered around, and Li Feng grabbed Qin Junze's hand anxiously, "Junior brother, what can I do?"
"We can find some wood long enough to stand in the water, first fix one end of the rope on the shore, and then Brother Li Feng swims into the river with a wooden pole. When the rope is tight, tie the other end to the wooden pole.
Put it in the water, so that Senior Sister Liu Ye and Senior Brother Wang Hai can slowly swing in the water along the rope. As long as you hold the rope tightly, you will not choke in the water. I finally untied the knot on the shore.
Swim over with the rope and the remaining wooden pole, and you should be able to reach the other side in four or five times."
