Chapter 9 In the Past(1/2)
Wudang Mountain is one thousand six hundred feet high, steep into the clouds, hundreds of beasts running and thousands of flowers blooming, and it is a blessing spirit land that is one of the tops and ends of the Nanzhan Continent.
The breeze blows across the hills, and the sound of young children reading and literacy is endless. There are also Taoist children holding a wooden sword in their hands and serving short daggers at their waists, running around the mountains and sharpening their knives.
Today's Wudang Mountain is as usual. Since its re-emergence ten years ago, the entire Wudang seems to have not changed much.
The environment in the mountains is still leisurely and quiet, giving people a sense of being out of nothing.
The sound of reading, the sound of horns, the shouts of Taoists, and the scolding of teachers.
In this scene, in this southern continent, which has now changed, perhaps only Wudang Mountain still retains its original appearance.
"Xu Sannian, you are stable, and I drove the wild boar over."
"I...I know, the rope has been tied to the tree by me!"
"Here's here, the boar is here."
"Hurry, pull the net, pull the net! ~"
"Xu San misses you quickly!"
"I...I know!"
In a shallow forest, seven or eight Taoist boys held the rope in their hands and looked at the wild boar running towards this side in the distance, with a very nervous look, and the tension was mixed with a hint of joy.
The meat on Wudang Mountain is not enough to eat!
There is only a little meat distributed in the canteen every day, which is not enough for all Taoist boys to distribute. For small Taoist boys like them, who are ranked low, can only eat a bite of meat when performing the half-moon sacrifice.
Although the master of his own tutor is very rich, the master does not seem to have the intention to improve the food for everyone.
Incapable of this, such as Xu San, a Taoist boy like Li Yinglong who is not very hard-working in his daily practice can only run to the mountains to play wild food to ensure that he has oil and water in his stomach.
"Hey! Hey!"
"The boar has entered the hole!"
"Take the rope! Take the rope quickly!"
"I pulled it!"
"Put hard!"
"Come on everyone's work. This beast has hundreds of kilograms of good meat, enough for us to eat for three days!"
"Come on!!!"
Seeing the wild boar break into the trap set by a group of people, the Taoist boys excitedly tightened the rope. Although they were likely to be escaped by the wild boar, no one expected to think about it like that!
Why?
Want to eat meat!
The half-aged boy also has to do boxing and stand stance every day. He doesn’t have much oil or water in his stomach on weekdays, so he just points to these wild game to eat!
Five minutes later.
As the first Taoist sect used all his strength and was dragged to the ground by the wild boar, the entire "scroll array" began to collapse. As the thick-skinned wild boar leaped, its figure gradually disappeared into the dense forest.
The Taoists saw this scene and saw tears in their eyes.
"The two-day arrangement was in vain again!"
“I want to eat meat.”
“Woooooooooooo…”
“I want to….”
The Taoist priests who had exhausted their strength were lying on the ground, looking very depressed. During this period, there were a few who persisted until the end and refused to give up. The ones who were the most persistent, were now dragged by the wild boar's brute force and were covered in scars.
Arms, elbows, thighs, naked feet and other parts.
Hunting failed, but life still has to continue.
After a while, a Taoist boy lying on the ground stood up, patted him, walked to his friend and stretched out his hand.
"Xu San thought, get up! The wild boar ran away and we have to find something else today!"
"I'm so hungry that I'm out of strength..."
“I’m hungry too…”
"What should I do? At noon today, the cafeteria seemed to have only radish broth, salted cabbage, and steamed buns..."
“I want to eat meat.”
“I want to….”
"First go to the cafeteria to have a meal to fill your stomach. When we get to know something else later!"
"good!"
A pair of brothers and brothers looked at each other, then they both cried and supported each other and walked up the mountain.
They are not the only ones, most of the Taoist boys in the shallow forest are like this.
Since Zhuo Yihang became the head of the tutor, Wudang may have made many changes secretly, but those changes have nothing to do with these little Taoist children.
The Taoist boys who were raised by Wudang since childhood still lived a poor life like the ones who were in Lan Li and his family.
Wudang has no objection to this.
Of course, children need to be trained from an early age. If Wudang prepares everything they need, then the ones raised in the future will only be a group of inhumans.
Everyone works together and uses their brains. After harvesting, they gather together to eat meat happily.
During this period, you may suffer some fatigue or minor injuries, but this is a very good exercise for the future of children living in Wudang Mountain since childhood.
Let them develop the idea of "do it yourself and have enough food and clothing", instead of relying on others for everything.
But these departed children did not realize that there were actually people following them all the time.
On the treetops where they set the trap, two men wearing Wudang Taoist robes and delicate faces were watching their limping steps with greater interest.
"Senior Brother Yihang, you said that when we were in our generation, there were people following us from time to time."
Seeing the Taoist boys walking out of the dense forest, Lan Li, who was leaning on the trunk, took out a wine pot from her waist, took a sip, and looked at Zhuo Yihang with a smile on his face.
"There should be...?"
Zhuo Yihang's words were a little uncertain. At this time, the eldest brother was wearing a black and white fish Taoist robe as the head of Wudang sect: "When I just took over, the second uncle did not leave anyone to me, so I couldn't ask him about these trivial matters."
"Oh!"
"why are you laughing?"
"fine."
Lanli shook her head.
Taoist children are hope and the inheritance of Wudang. When they are released, people will naturally follow in the dark.
Lanli may not know about it when she woke up, but after living in this matter for so many years, Lanli can see through this similar tradition.
I just find it a little funny, and I feel that I was very bored at the beginning.
"Senior Brother."
"Um."
"Are there any good seedlings among this generation of Wudang disciples?"
"Well? Why are you asking about this? Why, you, the dignified Wudi City Lord, are you finally planning to go back to the mountains to open the lecture?"
In a teasing tone, Zhuo Yihang looked at Lan Li's figure and savored it.
Let Lan Li return to Wudang?
That is naturally impossible!
Lan Li would not agree, and Zhuo Yihang himself would not allow it.
Not to mention the other person, he only said that Lan Li is currently in control of the entire Wudang Mountain economic lifeline. The three thousand Taoist children in the inner sect, tens of thousands of deacons in the outer sect, and those masters living in seclusion in Wudang Mountain need the Wudang field controlled by Lan Li to supply resources.
The position of Wudi City is inseparable from Lan Li. Since the end of Wudang's closure, the forces in the secular world of Wudang Sect have also been handed over to Lan Lili for management.
The initiator of this proposal is Wuwai, the senior brother in front of Lan Li.
The reason why Wudi City has developed so smoothly over the past ten years is inseparable from the reputation and help from Wudang Mountain.
In short, compared to those outside deacons, Zhuo Yihang is still new to his junior brothers who grew up under his nose like Lan Li. Otherwise, when a group of people in the sect wanted to take over the mercenary union in Lan Li's hands, they would not have been rejected by Zhuo Yihang in one sentence.
The breeze blows down the leaves.
"Teaching apprentice..."
After stretching out a hand and grabbing the leaves flying in front of him, Lan Li thought for a while and suddenly chuckled: "My own two are enough for me to worry about. Senior brother, please stop putting a burden on me."
"How much work is the capable?"
"Forget it."
Lan Li shook her head and said, "It's almost noon. The master is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. Senior brother and I are with you?"
