Chapter 4 Knowledge
At the foot of the mountain, Shao Kang's eyes shone brightly, looking up at Ji Changkong who was still climbing hard.
Nie Yuanshan's face was extremely solemn. Like Shao Kang, he focused his eyes deeply on Ji Changkong, with a thoughtful expression.
"The master should have seen it too." The old butler Shao Kang took a light breath, calmed down his mind, and then whispered: "He cannot jump from one rock to another, because his body is not flexible and strong enough, and he will never be able to hold on tightly at the moment of the jump and fall. Therefore, he can only find a rock that is close to him and that is just enough to move his body."
"Climbing up from this angle, the mountain is extremely steep! The distances of the scattered protruding rocks vary, some are close to each other, while others are half a meter apart! I thought that people who could not leap to the air to move direction would definitely not be able to reach the top of Qingyan Mountain, so I expected that Ji Changkong, who was weak, would soon have to give up because he could not find the rocks to leverage!
Taking a deep breath, Shao Kang looked solemn and said word by word: "But, I have to admit that I was probably wrong this time!"
After pausing for a moment, Shao Kang shouted: "Ji Changkong found a road that did not use the jumping, but only relied on the distance between the protruding bluestone and the bluestone to reach the top! There are no less than 5,000 rocks in Qingyan Mountain, and the distance between each rock is different. He just stood at the foot of the mountain and just took a random look, and found the most correct path! He did not doubt that his method would be wrong at all, and he climbed firmly towards the top of the mountain! Such eyesight and such a mind, I, Shao Kang, even asked myself!"
After looking at Nie Yuanshan, Shao Kang said decisively: "I have never seen the girl in the Jiu family, but I am sure that the girl will definitely not have such eyesight!"
Nie Yuanshan looked solemnly, staring at Ji Changkong in a daze, nodded his head lightly, and said, "Look!"
Shao Kang stopped talking, and his expression returned to calm. He only had a pair of shining eyes, but he always followed Ji Changkong who was struggling to climb.
...
One after another, cheers came from the top of Qingyan Mountain. During the time Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang spoke, all the children of the Ji family, whether in the side or the direct line, had reached the top. Like the last test, there was no big change this year. Ji Changxiao still won the championship, Ji Changsheng and Ji Changle won the second and third place respectively.
After reaching the top, the brothers of the Ji family, who were excited or lost, returned to the foot of the mountain one by one, stood beside the elders of the Ji family of Ji Yuxing, either seeking credit or seeking rewards, and talking with a smile on the thrilling moment when they just climbed the mountain.
Suddenly, the Ji family members who returned to the foot of the mountain seemed to suddenly find something funny. They laughed and pointed at Ji Changkong, who had not even climbed half of Qingyan Mountain. Seeing Ji Changkong moving with difficulty, their faces were full of disdain and contempt, and they all laughed unconcealedly.
"Haha, I knew that this guy would definitely be at the bottom. Look at his clumsy look, it's so funny!"
"Wuwu... It's about to fall down. I'm really worried about him. Hahaha, without that strength, he dares to participate in the training test. I really don't know what this kid is thinking. Don't he know what embarrassing?"
"It's so stupid. He was embarrassed by the city lord. Don't think of gaining a foothold in Qingyan City in the future! Humph, he also lost all the face of the Ji family!"
“…”
In the past, Ji Yuxing, who had always been serious, would be particularly tolerant and would not be as serious as usual. However, when he heard that Jiu Lingxue of the Yinshan Jiu family had reached the state of the Three Talents, he could not be happy at this time.
Seeing that all the children of the family had come down, and Nie Yuanshan was still there motionless, Ji Yuxing took his two sons to Nie Yuanshan with some confusion.
When he arrived beside Nie Yuanshan, Ji Yuxing looked at Nie Yuanshan strangely, and then looked at the butler Shao Kang. Ji Yuxing looked even more confused, as if he didn't quite understand why Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang looked at Ji Changkong at the same time.
With a light cough, Ji Yuxing attracted Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang's attention. Seeing that both of them looked at him unhappily at the same time, Ji Yuxing felt a little confused, so he quickly smiled and said, "This year's refining test has ended, and the rankings have also come out. Haha, the city lord rarely comes to our Ji family, and you can also give me some gifts before leaving."
"Isn't there anyone else who hasn't come down?" Shao Kang, the butler who has always been a little silence, pointed to Ji Changkong who was still climbing, and asked knowingly: "Is he not a child of your Ji family?"
Ji Yuxing looked awkward and laughed embarrassedly before explaining: "Changkong is weak. Look, he has not yet rushed to the hillside. Not to mention whether he can rush to Qingyan Mountain, but at his speed, even if he can really rush to Qingyan Mountain, it will probably take several hours later. The city lord is busy with official business, so how dare the Ji family disturb him too much."
At this time, Ji Changkong's grandfather Ji Yusheng, and his aunt Ji Wanyun and his two others came over. After Ji Yusheng came over, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to let everyone waste their time here and wait for Ji Changkong alone. He suggested with a stern face: "Why don't you go and have a meal first, I'll stay here to watch this useless guy."
"No, I'm not busy all the way today, I'll wait until I'll get there!"
To everyone's surprise, Nie Yuanshan did not go to dinner first as Ji Yusheng's suggestion, but instead frowned and insisted on staying.
As soon as these words came to an end, Nie Yuanshan stopped seeing Ji Yuxing, and did not care about all the Ji family's elders and young people. Instead, he continued to look at Ji Changkong, who was moving inch by inch by inch by mid-mountain Qingyan Mountain.
As soon as Nie Yuanshan spoke, Ji Yuxing didn't dare to say anything more even if he was reluctant in his heart. He could only praise Nie Yuanshan with a wry smile, and then spend it with him, waiting for Ji Changkong to finish the remaining extremely long road.
Ji Yuxing was still, and all the Ji family members could only spend their time there. The Ji family members who had just spent too much effort in the training were hungry and made strange screams. However, because Ji Yuxing didn't say anything, they could only endure the hunger and waste it. They cursed Ji Changkong in their hearts, and watched him move forward with difficulty as if he was snail-like.
"Brother Changkong... will he fall down?" Ji Xiaolian rubbed her belly, but said in a low voice worriedly.
"It's okay, with the city lord here, it won't be a problem if it falls down in the sky." Ji Wanyun smiled sweetly, pinched Ji Xiaolian's little face, and said with a smile.
Although Ji Wanyun doesn't like Ji Haoguang's family, she is an exception to Ji Xiaolian. Ji Xiaolian, who is only fifteen years old, is kind-hearted, innocent and simple, and is very pity-minded.
"Oh, I forgot if you don't say anything." Nie Yuanshan patted his head, as if he suddenly remembered something. He took out a bead with a soft red light from the brocade bag on his waist. The bead was crystal clear, and there seemed to be flames jumping in the ball. As soon as the bead left Nie Yuanshan's brocade bag, the temperature around it rose.
Standing beside Ji Haoguang, Zhao, who had been impatient with his expression, saw Nie Yuanshan taking out a fiery red bead, and seemed to sense something. His almond eyes suddenly widened and suddenly became bright, and his eyes stared at the red beads in his hand.
"This flame Yuanzhu was exchanged by my girl. She specially asked her aunt to exchange it from the Lingbao Pavilion in Tianshui City, saying that she was thankful for teaching her embroidery and sewing clothes. Haha, this girl has never had a mother since she was a child, so she has gotten along with you. In the future, she will ask you to go to Qingyan City to discipline her for me. This girl has listened to you. You haven't come for a few days, and she has been nagging in my ears all day long. I was almost clamored by her." Nie Yuanshan smiled and stuffed the flame Yuanzhu in his hand into Ji Wanyun's hand.
"Heaven, the flame primordial bead! That is a treasure that can increase communication ability with the holy beast Zhuque!" A child from the Ji family who knew the goods couldn't help but exclaim. Ji Yuxing, Ji Yusheng and others all looked strange in their expressions, staring at Nie Yuanshan and stuffing the flame primordial beads to Ji Wanyun.
Ji Haoguang's wife Zhao saw Nie Yuanshan pushing the flame beads to Ji Wanyun, and her eyes were about to spit out fire, and her greedy gaze could not be concealed.
"It's too expensive, I can't accept this thing!" Ji Wanyun took a step back and hurriedly avoided it.
Nie Yuanshan's face darkened and said, "I didn't give this thing. This was what Ruolan had been plaguing her aunt for several days before she exchanged it for someone from the Lingbao Pavilion in Tianshui City! If you don't accept it, Ruolan will definitely make a fuss after she goes back!"
"But...but..." Ji Wanyun waved her hands repeatedly, not knowing what to say.
"Don't come and go! You are now in the Four Symbols Heaven realm, and are communicating with the holy beast Zhuque. With the help of this flame bead, you can save a lot of effort." Nie Yuanshan forced the flame bead to Ji Wanyun and said to himself: "This child Ruolan has been thanks to your troubles in the past few years. Just a flame bead is nothing."
Zhao on the other side stared at the flame beads, his eyes were about to pop out.
——She, like Ji Wanyun, is also in the Four Symbols Heaven Realm and plans to communicate specifically with the holy beast Zhuque. Therefore, she knows more than anyone else how helpful the Flame Yuanzhu can be to her and Ji Wanyun.
Ji Haoguang pulled his wife Zhao and glared at her fiercely. Under Ji Haoguang's stern eyes, Zhao suppressed the greed in his heart and refused to look at the flame beads in Ji Wanyun's hand.
Seeing that Ji Wanyun took the things down, Nie Yuanshan stopped talking and fell on Ji Changkong like Shao Kang.
Nie Yuanshan did not move, Ji Yuxing did not move. Ji Yuxing did not move, and the Ji family did not dare to move except Ji Yusheng.
As Ji Changkong's biological grandfather, how could Ji Yusheng move around at this critical moment?
Therefore, dozens of people from all the Ji family, whether they are direct or side-line, stayed at the foot of the mountain, accompanying Nie Yuanshan to work hard.
...This consumption was actually consumed directly to the sunset.
Dragging his heavy body, Ji Changkong was sweating all over. Under the sunset that was burning in the sky, he leaned on his weak body and with an unwilling thought in his heart, he climbed Qingyan Mountain with extremely difficult steps!
Clusters of fire clouds dye the sky. Under the afterglow of the sunset, Ji Changkong's figure was on the top of Qingyan Mountain and the sunset was the same as the sunset.
Ji Changkong was about to roar at the sky, but suddenly he found that the foot of the mountain was surrounded by people. Ji Changkong was so tired that he was almost exhausted. His face was full of surprise and his clear eyes looked down at the foot of the mountain seriously. Then he saw Nie Yuanshan, the magnificent and upright lord of Qingyan City in the crowd.
At this time, Nie Yuanshan gave him a thumbs up!
It turned out that it was because he was still there. I was still thinking that the young and old of the Ji family suddenly changed their sexual desire? Ji Changkong smiled self-deprecatingly.
Looking down at the shrinking figures at the foot of the mountain, Ji Changkong suddenly had the wonderful illusion of stepping on the soles of the world. Looking at Nie Yuanshan's thumbs up, a sense of pride that was recognized by others, and a sense of satisfaction arose.
Unable to stop the excitement in his heart, Ji Changkong suddenly forgot his own sorrow, grinned and showed his white teeth, burst out with a bright smile, and waved hard to Nie Yuanshan at the foot of the mountain!
At this moment, Ji Changkong, who had temporarily let go of his heart, seemed to have changed a different person, on the top of Qingyan Mountain, with the sunset, his smile was free and unrestrained, and his whole body was full of energy!
...
This child is really handsome! Nie Yuanshan exclaimed in his heart, surprised by the dazzling light of Ji Changkong at this moment. He felt that Ji Changkong at this moment should be the real Ji Changkong!
After a long time of dazed expression, Nie Yuanshan raised his face again and said coldly to Ji Yuxing: "It's too late, I have to go back and pay a job with Ruolan quickly. I won't have dinner at Ji's house today." Without waiting for Ji Yuxing to stay, he and Shao Kang walked towards Qingyan City with Shao Kang.
Ji Yuxingcai was about to keep him, but found that Nie Yuanshan and Shao Kang had walked a few feet away, and were stunned and felt a little at a loss.
The results of the test and refining need to be announced, and many things need to be arranged by him personally. Ji Yuxing saw that Nie Yuanshan really had no intention of having a meal at Ji's house, so he could only give up. So Ji Yuxing stopped chasing and was busy calling out the children who were test and refining today to go to the Sutra Library in batches tomorrow to select the secrets and secret skills of the heavenly masters.
...
"Master, Ji Changkong is really unable to gather his energy?" On the way back, Shao Kang suddenly asked.
"Are you thinking about taking disciples?" Nie Yuanshan sighed, looked at the butler Shao Kang deeply, and said, "The child of Changkong is a bit special, so you should give up this idea as soon as possible. Besides, Changkong is seventeen years old and cannot gather his energy. This is enough to show that he cannot become a celestial being, so don't think too much."
"This child has great wisdom, great perseverance, and qualifications are the only ones I have seen in my life! Alas, I can't gather my energy, but it's a pity that a good seedling..." Shao Kang also shook his head and sighed. When he returned to Qingyan City, he turned back from time to time to look at the top of Qingyan Mountain.
Just now on the top of Qingyan Mountain, under the red clouds, the boy who waved his hand hard in an instant left an indelible and profound impression on Shao Kang!
