"Eh--"
Lu Changming had a surprised look on his face. He slowly released his fist seals and suddenly laughed heartily and said, "I have heard of the name "Jade-Faced Gentleman" for a long time. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his name. He is an upright man."
Bai Yutang sensed that the pressure from above his head had dissipated. He spoke with a relaxed tone. Hearing these words again, he hurriedly responded, "How dare you? Who doesn't know the righteous name of "Righteous Affinity" Lu First Leader? I have admired you for a long time, and today I am wearing a mask to know what a hero is!"
"Brother Bai really thinks of me like this?"
Lu Changming looked solemn.
Bai Yutang I didn't know what he meant by this, so he hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily, "This is what I said from the bottom of my heart."
Lu Changming's solemn expression suddenly turned into ice, a hearty smile appeared on his face, he raised his hands and clasped his fists and said, "Since you and I are so devoted, how about we become brothers?"
"Huh?"
Bai Yutang was stunned immediately.
"Coming--"
Wu Yong and others below also looked helpless.
The bandits who had been introduced for a long time looked as if they were indeed like this. The bandits who had entered later looked at this scene blankly, with strange eyes.
It won't take a moment.
Lu Changming's loud laughter echoed throughout the village.
"You guys, hurry up and throw a big banquet to welcome my seventh brother "Jade-Faced Gentleman"!"
"No!"
The bandits all responded in unison.
Wu Yong, Meng Qi, and Lady Shi looked at each other, sighed in their hearts, forced a smile on their faces, and stepped forward to greet the "Seventh Brother" who came to the door!
Dong Cheng'en, White Tofu and others looked at each other, not daring to refute First Leader's face, and followed them one after another.
A corner of the valley.
"Hiss--"
Zhu Yu saw this scene, took a breath, and admired in his heart: "There is something about this"Righteous Affinity"Lu Changming--"
There are not only fights and killings in the world, but also human relations--
One less enemy and many friends will make the road easier.
Lu Changming has figured this out, no wonder he can manifest God Word"Righteous Affinity"--
Didn't think much about it.
Zhu Yu picked up the broom at the door and walked towards one side of the mountain wall. Every time he walked for a while, he saw an unseen grass plant and took off a piece of it and put it in his mouth.
[Unknown grass plant: eating it is useless--]
[Unknown grass: Contains mild diarrhea elements--]
[Unknown grass plant: Contains analgesic effect--]
[----]
Accompanied by the shouts and noises of the bandits, Zhu Yu unhurriedly cleaned the dead branches and leaves on the ground, collecting information about each unfamiliar plant.
Time passed slowly.
Zhu Yu Taking "Body Cleansing Soup" as an example, the progress of constructing and analyzing the medicinal soup of Skin Refining is visible to the naked eye.
Wait until the sunset rises.
In front of the "canteen".
The thin, dark boy who was cleaning dead branches and leaves suddenly paused, raised the corner of his mouth for a moment, and then returned to a sad look.
At this time.
A few people like Zhu Yu, who were responsible for the chores, came to the canteen chatting, smelling the attractive aroma coming from the canteen, and they all looked happy.
"First Leader is holding a banquet today, maybe there will be meat to eat."
"You are so beautiful! These cattle and sheep are raised with precious medicinal herbs, which adults don't often eat--"
"It's good to have broth--"
Everyone said something to each other and hurriedly entered the cafeteria.
This body of Zhu Yu is at the time when the body is growing, and Skin Refining needs a lot of nutritional supplements, so naturally it will not miss meals.
Enter the cafeteria.
I saw that everyone was lining up in front of a window in an orderly manner, and I could vaguely see a man wearing an apron and a sturdy figure busy in the window.
Zhu Yu is too busy to queue up.
When the people behind him lined up far away, a rough voice came along with the tempting smell of meat, "Two biscuits per person, take one more, I will chop off your claws."
"Hey, Lady Liu, we all know the rules, let's put the food in quickly, I'm a glutton and have been seduced."
"Remember First Leader's kindness, otherwise you guys would have starved to death!" Lady Liu muttered a few words, only to hear two crisp sounds, and the crowd began to move.
After a while, Zhu Yu was placed in the queue.
A rough-looking man, who looked more like a man than a woman, looked at him and said, "New here? What position do you hold?"
Zhu Yu nodded and replied, "I received the position of "Street Cleaning"."
Lady Liu paused for a moment while scooping up the soup, and then hummed. "I knew that old guy couldn't stay any longer, and I didn't even think about it. The world is so chaotic, and his village is probably gone, so how can he come back home in such a good way?"
As he spoke, the spoon gently circled the cauldron and poured it into the Zhu Yu soup bowl. In the oily broth, there lay a palm-sized bone with some stubble hanging on it.
"Thank you Lady Liu."
Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, nodded his thanks, and then left with the soup bowl.
"Little Black monkey is quite polite--"
Lady Liu looked at the slender figure, muttered something, and continued to cook, shouting from time to time.
Others were just envious when they saw the meat and bones in the Zhu Yu soup bowl, but no one made any comments, because as long as they are new, they will get this treatment for the first time.
Zhu Yu found a deserted place and sat down. Without thinking too much about the change in treatment, he broke off a piece of bread, dipped it in the broth and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, a mixed salty and fishy smell rushed into his taste buds, making him frown. He didn't know whether it was the effect of the talent "Enduring Hardship" or the retrieval of the original physical memory of the body.
After chewing it twice, Zhu Yu felt it was very fragrant and his appetite was whetted. Pieces of flour cakes continued to enter his belly. Soon, the two large pieces of flour cakes and broth were all gone into his belly, and only the white meat and bones were left.
Zhu Yu patted his belly, picked up the clean beef bones and left the canteen.
This greatly disappointed many people who did not leave after eating. Niu Gu is a good thing. Grinding it into powder can be a great supplement.
Several people sighed and left.
"The little thing is quite thoughtful." Lady Liu crossed his arms across his chest and looked at this scene, his face trembling with anger.
Wait until the sunset recedes.
The lights were brightly lit in the center of the valley, and the noise of shouting and shouting was a little louder.
Zhu Yu glanced at it, holding the weeds in others' eyes, and quickly returned to the wooden house, took a frying pan, and arranged the grass plants one by one according to the prescription analyzed by True Sight Eye.
"Bitter Butterfly Grass two points, White Flower Root one plant, Mugwort Leaf three points--"
Simply clean the grass plants one by one, put them into the frying pan according to different portions, add a few more firewood, and go out carrying a rattan basket.
Half an hour later.
Zhu Yu carried a basket of washed sand and gravel back to the wooden house, took out the frying pan that had been turned off and was filled with light heat, poured the cooked Small Body Cleansing Soup liquid into a bowl, checked to confirm that the medicine was working normally, picked up the wooden bowl and drank it in small sips.
Feeling the steaming heat in his abdomen, he no longer hesitated, took off all his clothes, walked over to the basket containing gravel, picked up a handful of gravel, pressed it on his chest, and rubbed it vigorously.
Just for a moment.
There were dense scratches on his chest where his ribs were exposed, and streaks of bright red flowed out.
Zhu Yu Feeling the heat from the abdomen gathering towards the chest, he nodded slightly, picked up the sand again, pressed it against the unscarred skin, and rubbed it -
Repeatedly, even the top of his head, face, back, lower body, and soles of his feet were not spared. In just a short moment, he seemed to have rolled down a mountain, with countless small scratches all over his body.
It's so densely packed that it's scary to look at it at a glance.
I don't know if it's because of numbness, or if "Enduring Hardship" has an effect.
In the end Zhu Yu couldn't feel any pain. According to Stone Grinding Method's records, Divine Sense used Divine Sense to activate a weak Qi and Blood entrenched in the heart, and let it slowly move downward from the top of the head, warming and tempering the skin inch by inch.
Whenever Qi and Blood consumes some, heat will be incorporated into it to restore it. During this continuous consumption and recovery, Qi and Blood can be seen with the naked eye to be stronger and more refined.
At the same time.
It also makes Zhu Yu's control over Qi and Blood more subtle.
I don't know how long it will take.
When Zhu Yu woke up from practice, it was already dark outside. He looked at the layer of blood scab condensed on the lower body surface and stared at himself in the light.
[Mi Sheng"Zhu Yu"]
[Age:15/52]
[Realm: Nurturing God Seed: Skin: "7%", Talent: "1%"]
[Attributes: Body 0.7, God 0.7 "24"]
[Talent Skill: Enduring Hardship]
[Status: Weak]
One night passed.
Skin Refining Realm increased by 7 points, developed skills by 1 point, physical strength by 0.2 points, and spiritual growth by 0.1 points.
Among them, the divine enhancement is due to the further running-in of the ring with the body. As the body grows stronger, the speed will be faster.
"Not bad--"
Zhu Yu nodded with satisfaction, took off the panel, and slightly felt the changes in the skin's toughness. Just as he was about to fetch water to wash up, he suddenly remembered what the old man Lady Liu called Old Man Mu said.
Too clean may be an eyesore--
Thinking back to the fact that those who did the chores were all very sloppy, I paused, turned around and walked out the door. Looking at the still dim sky, I picked up the hoe in the corner, took out yesterday's Niu Gu from my pocket, put it in my mouth and started grinding it little by little.
Martial Arts Arena is located in the center of the valley.
Zhu Yu soon arrived at the field, looking at the potholes that had never been seen before, feeling a surge of anger in his heart for no reason.
You don't need to think about it.
These potholes must have been caused by the bandits drinking and practicing against each other last night!
"The only way to achieve Superior Person is to endure hardships!
Zhu Yu took a deep breath, recited a few words silently, suppressed the anger in his heart, regained his sad look on his face, and filled in and compacted one by one with a hoe.
Time passed little by little.
A red sun rises in the sky. The bandits who drank and ate meat last night and returned happily started a new day of life.
Some carry knives and guns to patrol for the shift, some ride horses to patrol, visit places, and inquire about information, and some travel lightly and collect tolls for the shift--
And those doing odd jobs like Zhu Yu also started to get busy.
Those who carry water carry water, those who chop wood chop wood, those who build roads build roads--
Wait until the sun is high.
"Hu--"
Zhu Yu filled in the last pothole and compacted it, straightened his waist, spit it out Niu Gu in his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief, and his back suddenly became rickety as if it had shrunk.
Because of "Enduring Hardship", he didn't straighten it out and let his body make the choice. Just like that, he silently walked towards the cafeteria.
It's not far from the canteen.
From a distance, you can see a broad, muscular man eating white flour steamed buns and chewing the bones with minced meat. He laughs and shouts from time to time, but there is no sound of "remember the good things of First Leader" that he often said yesterday.
Zhu Yu didn't come forward, and Lower Vehicle squatted in the shade of a big tree with other menial workers, waiting for the bandits to eat.
After digging for a long time, the sweat mixed with dust stained Zhu Yu completely black. It can be considered as a complete integration into the group doing chores.
From time to time, someone would chat with him, talking about trivial things such as where there were traces of snakes and he should pay more attention, and when he went to carry water from a stream and encountered a pheasant, but he didn't bring a bow and arrow, etc.--
It didn't take long.
The bandits who had eaten and drank enough turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.
The hungry Zhu Yu and others walked in quickly.
Not a moment.
Lady Liu's loud voice sounded again.
"Blessed are you bastards. The steward has ordered that First Leader and "Jade-Faced Gentleman" are sworn brothers with different surnames. You are also very happy, and everyone can get a piece of flesh and blood."
Amidst the cheers, Lady Liu cursed, occasionally mixed with the words "remember the goodness of First Leader".
No surprises.
Lady Liu didn't recognize Zhu Yu, so he gave him a medium-sized meat bone and told him to get out.
Zhu Yu didn't care, he sat in the corner and took a sip of the broth. It still tasted the same, delicious!
Unfortunately, the minced meat bones are sheep bones and are not as effective as Niu Gu.
After eating and drinking enough, Zhu Yu packed up the mutton bones, picked up the hoe and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hey, why didn't that little guy come--"
After finishing the meal for the last person, Lady Liu was confused for a moment, but then put it behind her. It was not surprising that "Cloud Mountain Stronghold" disappeared occasionally, and people she had only met once were not worthy of her thoughts.
Zhu Yu collected some grass plants from Small Body Nourishing Soup. Soon after returning to the wooden house, he picked up a broom and started busy in the afternoon.
Remember what Old Man Mu said.
You can be slow in other places, but you must not be slow in front of the big man's courtyard, and even faster!
As the sky gets darker.
Zhu Yu cleaned the courtyard where he previously lived. As expected, he saw White Tofu and Mi Ya'er again.
The two of them were enjoying the shade of the trees in the courtyard. They just glanced at his arrival and stopped paying attention.
Neither of them could recognize that this man with a dirty body, a stooped back, and a sad and weather-beaten face could be Zhu Yu.
For some unknown reason, when Zhu Yu saw this scene, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit. The fatigue from the earlier work was like a mud cow sinking into the sea. He was still very tired and miserable, but it was far from unbearable.
"Eat the bitterest of hardships, then you will be Superior Person--"
After muttering a few words in his mind, he neatly cleaned up the broken leaves, picked up the broom and walked away.
Wait for him to leave.
Lu Wanrong hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Brother Bai, are we Cloud Mountain Stronghold going to do something big?"
"Huh?"
White Tofu's brows suddenly jumped and he asked doubtfully, "The village is calm and peaceful, why did the girl from the Mi family say that? Could it be that she heard some rumors?"
Lu Wanrong shook her head quickly and explained, "I saw that Master Liu has been tanning Golden Wound Medicine, Grass Return Pill all day long today to treat internal and external injuries. I had some guesses, so I came to ask Brother Bai."
"This way--"
White Tofu's eyes were clear, he pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, so I'll just tell you."
"Three months later, First Leader's sworn brother planned to kidnap a prisoner. We, Cloud Mountain Stronghold, were responsible for protecting his retreat, so we asked Physician Liu to prepare some wound medicine in advance to prepare for emergencies."
"Prisoner robbery?"
Lu Wanrong was stunned. She thought Cloud Mountain Stronghold was going to attack other forces to see if she could get some bargains, but she didn't expect this to happen, so she immediately stopped trying to join in the fun.
"This man has a great background. It is said that he is the coach of the Martial Suppression Army--"
White Tofu was in high spirits, talking about how powerful that person was and what his reputation was--
These have nothing to do with Zhu Yu.
After eating two Yellow Cake, drinking a bowl of broth, carrying a broom, I returned to the cabin as usual and immersed myself in Stone Grinding Method practice again.
That's it.
The days passed calmly day by day.
Zhu Yu's back became increasingly stooped, his face became more and more sad, and his pupils also had a bitter numbness, but the skin wrapped in that layer of black dirt was undergoing drastic changes.
"Immortal Tomb", Underworld Grounds.
A certain mound and wooden house.
The trees and Earth Spiritual Energy floating in the air swarmed towards the second floor of the wooden house, and there was a faint whistling sound.
At this time.
A pale white light burst out from a lush field, moved a few times, and landed on the head of a black Black Stone about Fang Yuan in front of the wooden house.
It manifested into the size of a baby's fist, with a milky white body. It looked like a small mantis carved from Mutton Fat White Jade.
--
squeak--
Black Stone trembled, and a head like a turtle with two large fangs in its mouth poked out, barked at the mantis a few times, and looked at the second floor of the wooden house with dark eyes.
The wait didn't take long.
Wearing a green robe embroidered with Flood Dragon Pattern, with delicate eyebrows and a solemn face, the young man walked out slowly, looked up at the gray sky, stretched, and chuckled, "More than a month has passed, and it's finally time to harvest--"
