Luo Fu Chapter 42: The stream is clear and cold, and people’s hearts are unpredictable
Chapter 42 The stream is clear and unpredictable
"The Jade Conch Fruit is ripe at noon today. Although it is not a particularly rare item, a single Jade Conch Fruit can at least save you dozens of days of work for your current cultivation."
Dan Lingsheng, whose face was still cold and stern, conjured up a plant illusion with red triangular leaves with one hand. Apart from the red leaves, this plant is the most eye-catching The most powerful is the emerald green strange fruit shaped like a snail on the branches.
"The Jade Conch Fairy Fruit blooms and bears fruit once a year, but the fruit will fall after half an hour of maturity, and will rot immediately after entering the soil, so you have to arrive at the Jade Conch Valley near the top of the mountain before noon, and each of you should collect a Jade Concrete. Conch fairy fruit, rolled with the leaves of the biluo tree and eaten, remember that the biluo fruit is cold in nature and contains toxins, which need to be dissolved by the leaves of the biluo tree, so you can only eat one, if you are greedy, You bear the consequences yourself!"
"This mountain is so steep!" Luo Bei and the others looked at it carefully and nodded one after another, but when they turned their heads again, Luo Bei couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.
The cultivation practice arranged by Dan Lingsheng this day is to go to Tianren Peak to pick a jade snail fairy fruit that just ripened today, but the Tianren Peak in front of him is steeper than ever before. The entire mountain wall is almost vertical. A mountain path carved out of the mountain wall is like a ladder to the sky. From a distance, the mountain peak is really like a blade standing between the sky and the earth. If it is not on the mountain wall There is also an iron cable used for the handrail beside the dug mountain road, Luo Bei thought that he might not be able to climb to the top.
"Looks like the "medicinal" herb, it's not only to make the Jade Conch Fruit help our cultivation, but also to hone our will."
"Luobei!" While Luobei was thinking that, someone suddenly shouted from behind. "Senior Brother Xuan Wuqi?" Luo Bei turned around in surprise, but Xuan Wuqi was standing on the mountain road behind him, a little out of breath, with tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Why, didn't you expect it to be me?" Xuan Wuqi looked at Luo Bei and the others, and snorted arrogantly, "The test you suffered, I also suffered when I faced the wall, don't you think Can I not pass that test?"
"Senior Brother Xuan Wuqi, I didn't mean that." Luo Bei was a little stunned, he had never had any similar thoughts with Xuan Wuqi, and he was a little confused by Xuan Wuqi's words.
"Facing the wall for ten days, after being punished, you still have such an aggressive "nature". Could it be that people with advanced cultivation all shout it out of their mouths?" The Xuanwuqi Dan Lingsheng also snorted coldly.
"Uncle Master taught you well." Xuan Wuqi didn't show any displeasure, but just saluted Dan Lingsheng respectfully, "Disciple Xuan Wuqi is taught, please join this trial .”
Dan Lingsheng was silent at first, looked at Xuan Wuqi coldly for a moment, and finally waved his hand, "Go."
"Thank you, uncle!" Xuan Wuqi walked to Luobei's voice with great joy, looked at Luobei, and said in his heart, "Luobei, although I have been punished for ten days less than you, I will never I will lose to you!"
"Brother Lin Hang, why don't you leave?"
But Luobei's attention is not on him at the moment.
The Jade Conch Fairy Fruit ripens at noon, counting half an hour after ripening, Luo Bei and the others now only have more than two hours to rush to the Jade Conch Valley near the top of the mountain.
When Dan Lingsheng nodded in agreement for Xuan Wuqi to join, Luobei, Caishu and the others were ready to set off. But at this time, Luobei found that Lin Hang was standing still, his face was a little pale, so Luobei couldn't help but want to ask.
"Luo... Junior brother Luobei...you...you go first, and I will go last." Lin Hang said a little timidly.
"Why?" Luo Bei looked at Lin Hang very puzzled.
Lin Hang looked at Luo Bei, and after a while, he finally explained hesitantly. "I...I...go...I also climbed this Tianren Peak last year, but... I couldn't climb it. The mountain road is narrow and cannot allow two people to go up and down at the same time...."
Listening to Lin Hang's hesitant explanation, Luo Beibei understood that Lin Hang also accepted this practice last year, but because of his inconvenient legs and feet, the mountain road was too steep to climb up. And there is no iron chain handrail on one side of this mountain road, and it is vertical and steep. Now Lin Hang is afraid that if he walks in front and cannot climb up, the people behind will also be hindered by him, making it difficult to move forward.
It turned out that Lin Hang didn't want to drag the rest of his brothers down.
"It's all right!" Luo Bei said to Lin Hang immediately after realizing it, "Brother Lin Hang, you have practiced for another year. No matter what, you must have improved compared to the previous year. What's more, your legs and feet are inconvenient. It should be in the middle of the team, we can also help you, go up together."
"This...this...how can this be, in case I...."
"Did you use the magic talisman I gave you last time? It doesn't matter if you use it, I still have it with me. If you really can't hold on at that time, I will stick two magic talismans for you, for sure. It can go up. The green snail fairy fruit has such effects, we can't miss it."
"That's right, Senior Brother Lin Hang, you'll be right in the middle."
"Yeah, if we want to go up, we go up together...."
Lin Hang originally refused to go up, but when he heard what Luobei said, and Caishu, Ling Dongshan and others also said that, he stopped talking, bowed his head and walked silently to Luobei's behind.
At this moment, the amulets Luobei gave him are in his arms, wrapped tightly with a piece of square cloth.
These amulets were the last time he went to Tianzhu Peak to find herbs, and he was not willing to use them.
But what made him stop insisting was not these few amulets, but that he couldn't bear to refuse Luo Bei's sincere friendship and kindness.
The words of the other senior brothers also moved him in a way he had never felt before. He lowered his head, not because of the humble and cowardly habit he had always been used to, but because he couldn't help but was about to cry.
Lin Hang felt that after Luobei came, everyone gradually treated him better. Now everyone treats him more than ridicule, but with care and help. But when he thought this way, he didn't expect that a large part of it was also because of himself. Because he was also one of the few people who passed the cruel test, even though he lived such a humble life in Shushan, he still refused to poison the people around him.
As for the few people who passed the test, the invisible relationship is much closer than before.
Perhaps, true friendship can only be produced in a true test.
"Senior Brother Lin Hang." Just when Lin Hang was following Luo Bei and wanted to cry, along with Xuan Wuqi, among the seven people, the most active and mischievous Gong Yang Jinbo suddenly laughed He laughed, "Brother Lin Hang, you shouldn't be in the last row, you should let Junior Sister Caishu be in the last row."
"Why?" Lin Hang, Luo Bei and the others didn't think about it for a while, and couldn't help being startled.
"Because we men look at a man's butt, it doesn't matter, but if Junior Sister Caishu climbs in front, we... it seems a little indecent." Gongyang Jinbo smiled.
"Gongyang Jinbo! What are you talking about!" As soon as Gongyang Jinbo finished speaking, Caishu jumped up, "Do you want to die? Did that rodent tiger catch you last time?" Not strong enough?"
"Haha, Junior Sister Caishu, I know I was wrong." Gongyang Jinbo jumped away with a smile, begging for mercy, "You have a lot of adults, I will not dare next time."
"Hmph, next time you talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth apart. What are you calling me? Did you eat too much and become a bucket of rice? I don't remember that I arrived in Shushan earlier than you ?”
"Oh... I forgot, only Luobei can call you junior sister, Senior Sister Caishu..."
…………
"It's strange, why didn't I feel the feeling of being unable to climb this time? Could it be that my cultivation has really improved a lot?"
A group of people from Luobei marched **** the mountain path of Tianren Peak with both hands and feet. Although they were all sweating profusely and panting like a bull, Lin Hang also felt panting as if his internal organs were about to pop out of his mouth, but what surprised Lin Hang in the team was that he was not the same as last year. Climbing this mountain is like, once you climb it, you have the feeling that you can't climb it no matter what.
It's only an hour now. Although Lin Hang took two breaks on the way, he followed Luobei and has already climbed half of the height. Looking up again, after a few hundred meters, it is no longer such a steep mountain road, but a flat ridge.
So this time, without any accidents, I can already climb up.
In fact, what Lin Hang lacks most now is nothing but self-confidence and the approval of others. His aptitude is not as bad as he imagined. His slow progress in cultivation is largely due to his confidence and lack of approval from others.
As for these, Luobei has never been lacking.
Looking from behind, Lin Hang saw that Luo Bei's entire back was soaked with sweat, and he could also hear Luo Bei's heavy breathing, but Luo Bei's back gave him an extremely powerful feeling It felt like this back view alone gave Lin Hang confidence, making him feel that following Luobei, he would definitely be able to reach the Biluo Valley!
"Senior Brother Xuan Wuqi's will is really firm!"
Luo Bei doesn't know what Lin Hang thinks in his heart, Xuan Wuqi is in front of him. This arrogant and stubborn boy insisted on being in front of Luo Bei, climbing to the top. Obviously, Xuan Wuqi's physical strength will not be much stronger than Luo Bei's. But at the last section of the steep mountain road of hundreds of meters, Xuan Wuqi unexpectedly climbed up the steep mountain road abruptly without resting even once. Turn around on the slightly flat ridge and look at Luobei.
Seeing Xuan Wuqi like this, Luo Bei was also deeply motivated, and climbed up abruptly in one breath.
"Hmph, it's still slower than me." However, in Xuan Wuqi's eyes, Luo Bei, who had no intention of competing with him, turned into deliberately competing with him.
Sweat heavy shirt.
After climbing the last few hundred meters, the first six people who climbed the ridge were all drenched in sweat!
On the contrary, at the end, Cai Shu, who looked the most delicate, just wet the vest. Obviously, Cai Shu has the best foundation.
"Hahahaha!" Luo Bei and the others panted for a while, seeing each other's distressed appearance, they suddenly couldn't help laughing together.
"That should be Biluo Valley."
Amidst the loud laughter, Luobei suddenly saw a sunken valley near the top of the mountain in front of him. Looking from a distance, it revealed a deep red color.
"It smells so good!"
"Yes, what a strong aroma!"
Before reaching the valley, Luo Bei and the others had already smelled a strong fragrance, which seemed to have a hint of sweetness, which made people feel refreshed when they smelled it.
"It's so beautiful!"
As soon as they entered this flat valley, everyone was stunned.
In the entire valley, there are green snail trees as tall as two people!
The leaves of the Biluo tree are the size of a palm and are red in color, while the dead leaves that fall to the ground are golden in color. Right now, the ground in the valley is covered with a thick layer of golden leaves, and there are basically no weeds. Because the whole valley is close to the top of the mountain, it is ventilated and dry. Walking on the thick leaves is like walking on the ground. It's the feeling of stepping on a rare blanket in a rich man's house.
There is a large area of red on the top of the head, but the soles of the feet are golden.
This kind of violent color impact deeply shocked the entire group.
"Biluoguo!"
Suddenly, Gongyang Jinbo let out a cheer, and everyone immediately found that on the same crimson branches, there were sparse, emerald green fruits that looked like snails. The skin of the fruit is very thin, and the inside reveals a water-like luster, and the sweet aroma comes from this green snail fruit.
Just by looking at the color and smelling the fragrance, both Luobei and Caishu can be sure that the biluo fruit is already ripe.
"Pick the fruit first."
Luobei immediately picked one, according to Dan Lingsheng, wrapped it with a piece of Biluo leaves, and handed it to Caishu.
Plucking Shu also picked it up naturally, and Luo Bei picked another one by himself, just wrapped it in leaves, when he suddenly heard Ling Dongshan cheering again. Looking along the sound, there is actually a clear stream in the valley, winding and flowing.
After two hours of hard climbing, the entire group was so thirsty that they were smoking. Suddenly seeing this clear stream, the group couldn't help cheering and ran over one after another.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Let's take a few mouthfuls of mountain spring to quench our thirst first, and then taste this green snail fairy fruit carefully." Gongyang Jinbo laughed and leaned down to drink water. "Wait." Ling Dongshan, who was the first to discover the stream, stopped him hesitantly. "Although the stream water is clear, I don't know if I drink it, it will be fine."
After hearing what he said, the group of people hesitated, but it was as if the heavens deliberately refuted Ling Dongshan. Not long after Ling Dongshan finished speaking, a gray squirrel suddenly came from a place not far from everyone. Jumped up and down a green snail tree, like a dragonfly touching water, drank a few mouthfuls of stream water, then jumped onto the tree and disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that there is no problem." Luo Bei and the others were stunned, but couldn't help but smile at each other.
"It's delicious!" Gongyang Jinbo was the first to take a sip, acting as if he had drunk good wine.
Luo Bei also took a sip with a smile.
"Haha~IndoMTL.com~ Let's have a drink together!"
Miao Mu simply sank half of her face into the stream, and drank heavily.
But at this moment, what Luo Bei and others did not expect was that several teenagers wearing black clothes who seemed to be a little older than them appeared in their sight.
These people seem to have come down from the top of the mountain. Looking at the clothes they wear, Luo Bei and Cai Shu can tell at a glance that they should be disciples of the shocking lineage like Zong Zhen and the others.
The Luobei group, who did not expect others to come, suddenly saw these people, and they were all unconsciously dazed.
But before they could take any action, these young men in black clothes seemed to have not seen their existence at all, and walked past them not far away, and arrived at them The upper stream of the creek where it is located.
"Brother Hongjing, the stream here is very cool, how about soaking your feet together?"
Regardless of Miao Mu and the others who are still drinking water, among the young men in black shirts, a young man with a fair complexion, slender eyebrows, and a sharp face looks at the young man next to him. A boy with a round face and narrow eyes said this, and then he took off his shoes and socks like no one else, and soaked his feet in the stream.
"Okay, let's soak our feet together." Several other people also smiled, removed their shoes and socks one after another, and soaked their feet in the stream, stirring for a while.
"These people are here to deliberately find fault!" Luo Bei and Cai Shu looked at each other, and in an instant, such an idea appeared in their minds!
