Xie Wenlun gave a symbolic lesson with a cold face: "I always want to take shortcuts, but there are no shortcuts in practice?
Go back and keep carrying!"
Next, both Guo Chuxiu and Cao Hongchang memorized it smoothly, and all members of Class B were able to memorize it. Xie Wenlun said: "Everyone go back and pack up. I will take you down the mountain tomorrow!"
The students in Class B cheered: "Oh! - Let's go down the mountain!"
"Free!"
"Ugh!——" Xie Shengbin saw this and accused: "It's all your fault!"
Pan Xiaoxing was so angry that she kicked her stool: "Humph!"
Xie Wenlun scolded Lin Xiaodong in a roundabout way: "You two are the only ones in the two classes who can't memorize.
Junior sister, you should learn from good people and don’t hang out with people who don’t seek to make progress.
Some people, relying on their talents and not working hard, will be eliminated sooner or later!"
"You two will stay in Funing Hall during the day. You will carry me and leave at any time!"
Class B students cheered for joy. Cao Hongchang and Guo Chuxiu were full of envy. Xie Shengbin kept writing: "Can you two work hard! Look, Class B has already gone down the mountain. When can we go down the mountain?"
Pan Xiaoxing said impatiently: "If you talk too much, I won't take it anymore!"
Xie Shengbin left angrily, but Cao Hongchang stayed and asked Lin Xiaodong doubtfully: "How can you not know the direction of the river? Haven't you seen the map?"
Lin Xiaodong picked up the map: "I'm looking at it."
Guo Chuxiu comforted Pan Xiaoxing: "It's okay, don't be anxious, just carry it slowly."
After Guo Chuxiu and Cao Hongchang left, Lin Xiaodong asked Pan Xiaoxing: "You deliberately said you couldn't memorize it, right?"
Pan Xiaoxing smiled slyly: "Hey, you're the only one left in class two who can't memorize it yourself. The fifth senior brother wants to talk about you again, but he doesn't dare to talk about me."
"I want you to stay in jail with me."
I was very moved by Lin Xiaodong.
"Hey, we two help each other, how can I leave you alone? Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to read a map."
The two really memorized the map for a whole day in Funing Hall, and Lin Xiaodong finally finished memorizing the map.
The next day, Xie Wenlun took Class B down the mountain. Xie Shengbin and Cao Hongchang could only watch from the side, envious.
Lin Xiaodong and Pan Xiaoxing went to Funing Hall again, and the senior brother took their place.
Lin Binhai lectured Pan Xiaoxing with a straight face: "How can you fall behind?
As the head’s daughter, you have to set an example for everyone!”
Pan Xiaoxing closed her eyes and pouted impatiently.
"And you, the most talented but the worst at learning?
Do you know how many people dream of your birthday?
Don’t you know how to cherish it yourself?”
Lin Xiaodong said angrily: "I can carry it."
"You know how to memorize and you still think you're great?
Are you proud of being the last one to memorize it?
Then recite it again!"
Lin Xiaodong memorized it once, and Lin Binhai was speechless and said, "Do you have to have a teacher pushing you every day to know how to study hard?"
Pan Xiaoxing also recited it fluently, and Lin Binhai said impatiently: "Go ahead, your fifth senior brother will come back tomorrow."
The two left Funing Hall happily. Pan Xiaoxing reached out and gave Lin Xiaodong a high-five: "Yeah! You escaped! The fifth brother will come back tomorrow, and we can go down the mountain to play the day after tomorrow!"
When they returned to their residence, Xie Shengbin and Cao Hongchang were waiting. Xie Shengbin asked, "Have you memorized it?"
Pan Xiaoxing went straight back to his room: "I've memorized it!"
"Yeah! We can go down the mountain too!"
Cao Hongchang pumped his fist excitedly.
The next day, Xie Wenlun came back with the students from Class B. Xie Shengbin went up and asked, "Where have you been? Is it fun?"
Duan Yiyang from Class B curled his lips and shook his head, disappointed and said: "It's not fun, go to the back mountain."
"Going to the back mountain?"
Xie Shengbin was discouraged, "I've been looking forward to it for nothing!"
Xie Wenlun met Xie Shengbin and greeted, "Follow me."
Xie Shengbin followed Xie Wenlun's residence and asked, "What's wrong, uncle?"
Xie Wenlun untied the package on his back, put it on the table, and said: "This is the reward for this outing. No one in the two classes can get it. I will secretly give it to you when the time comes."
"what is this?"
Xie Shengbin stretched his neck and looked around. Inside the package was a giant clam as big as a basin, as white as jade.
Xie Wenlun said: "Take everyone down the mountain to get to know the medicinal herbs. When I leave, I will take out this clam and tell everyone that whoever can open it will get the pearl inside."
"But this clam was collected from the extremely cold place in the deep sea. It is impossible for these registered disciples to open it with only one month of cultivation.
How are you doing with the Shen Yue Sword I gave you?"
Xie Shengbin stuttered: "I recite the Water Sutra every day, but I don't practice much."
"Um."
Xie Wenlun nodded, "It would be best if you could open the clam in front of your brothers and sisters. If you can't open it, no one will give it to you. I will give you the pearl in private."
Xie Shengbin was overjoyed after hearing this, grinning and thinking: "When I get this deep-sea pearl, I will definitely teach Lin Xiaodong a lesson!"
The next morning, Class A students packed up their bags and followed Xie Wenlun down the mountain and around to the back of the mountain.
The spring on the mountain is in the backyard of the Taoist temple, and only the master can enter. The water in the spring falls along the waterfall on the back mountain, and accumulates at the foot of the back mountain into a pool, named Linzhou Pool.
Xie Wenlun took a few people to the edge of the pond and pitched a tent, saying: "Follow me, I will take you to see common medicinal materials."
Some people walked in the forest behind the mountain for a day and stayed in a tent at night. The next morning, before packing up and leaving, Xie Wenlun unpacked the bags on his back and placed the clams on the big rocks.
"This is the reward for coming down the mountain this time. The clams come from the extremely cold places in the deep sea. There are pearls condensed by the cold air inside. For us disciples of the Lingquan Sect, they are the most suitable raw materials for refining treasures."
Hearing that there were deep-sea pearls, several people became excited. Xie Shengbin smiled secretly: "Stop dreaming. This pearl is mine. I'll give you a chance. If you can't open the clam shell, you can't take it away."
Pan Xiaoxing's eyes shone: "Pearls?
how is it like?"
Xie Wenlun smiled and said: "You will know it once you open it. Whoever can open it will own it."
Xie Shengbin volunteered and raised his hand: "I'll do it!"
"Okay, you come, but you can only use the magic weapon issued to you, and you can't touch the clam with your hands."
Xie Wenlun stepped aside.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaodong thought: "You can't touch it with your hands, which means using magic power to pull the magic weapon and pry the clam apart."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but snicker secretly, "These registered disciples don't have the magic power for a month. It's really not easy to control a sword to open a clam, but it doesn't trouble me."
Everyone hid aside, Xie Shengbin shook his finger, and the Shen Yue Sword at his waist was slowly unsheathed, suspended in the air, trembling slightly, and flew towards the Tridacna.
"Hey!"
With a light chuckle, Xie Shengbin prepared to use brute force. Shen Yue's sword "dinged" and slashed on the back of the clam. It actually cut out sparks. He couldn't help but stare, "Why is it so hard?"
Xie Wenlun said: "This is a thing from the deep sea. Of course it is hard. You will definitely not be able to rely on brute force. You have to find a way to pry it open."
After hearing this, Xie Shengbin took a long breath, turned his sword sideways, and stabbed the seam between the two shells of the clam.
