Chapter 8: Goodbye
The next day, Li Ji got up early. He slept well last night and his energy was restored. Even his body was still a little sore. However, after three months, Li Ji was used to it. When he walked out of the room, another person walked up.
That road.
When he reached the river, Li Ji saw that someone was already helping him cross the iron rope.
As if he had seen himself back then, Li Ji raised his head and looked at the disciple crossing the river. However, the water mist was too heavy and he couldn't see their faces clearly. However, he could still tell from the screams of the young disciple.
I could tell it was a female disciple, and the scream pierced people's ears.
After a short while, Li Ji was soaked in water mist, and the sound on the iron rope became shriller, but Li Ji had to continue his homework and practice today. After thinking for a long time, Li Ji jumped
After entering the river, we swam across the river. This matter of crossing the rope can be done twice more in the evening.
The female disciple who passed the rope was Pei Yan, and the person supporting her was her father. Pei Qinhu, the current headmaster of Wangyue Peak, was so sharp that after seeing Li Ji waiting for a long time, he actually swam away.
In the past, there was some appreciation in his heart. He had no doubt that Li Ji would not forget this daily practice. Looking at his appearance and the pile of firewood standing tall by the river, he also knew what Li Ji was practicing.
But Pei Yan didn't think so. As soon as she saw Li Ji swimming over, she immediately stopped and refused to take a step forward. This stumped Pei Qinhu. How could he not know that he
How should he explain his daughter's thoughts?
After being stunned for a moment, Pei Qinhu shook his head and laughed. Pei Yan thought there was no need to leave. Pei Qinhu picked her up and jumped back to the starting point.
Li Ji, who was only halfway through the swim, was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on, but then he heard Pei Qinhu's words: "That disciple, you cross the river first."
Li Ji turned around and looked at the smiling Pei Qinhu and the embarrassed and chattering Pei Yan. Three years have passed and they have only met once. Li Ji no longer remembers what Pei Yan looks like. What's more, three years later,
Pei Yan has grown up a lot.
Li Ji responded, swam back again, bowed to Pei Qinhu, and said: "I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't mean to be lazy, it's just that I saw..."
Pei Qinhu interrupted Li Ji and said, "I know, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to come back. My daughter will have to teach you for a long time. You go over first and complete your own homework."
"Yes, uncle."
Li Ji nodded in agreement, then rested for a moment to replenish the energy consumed by swimming, and then stepped onto the rickety iron rope.
Every step he took was very slow, and the iron rope shook violently. Li Ji tried hard to stabilize his body, and his physical strength was visibly consumed, but Li Ji did not stop for a moment and walked across the smooth iron rope soaked in water.
When Li Ji went over and rested under the tree, Pei Yan was even more reluctant to go there, especially when she saw that Li Ji almost fell off several times when he walked to the middle, and all the water from the waterfall hit Li Ji.
Ji's body made it even more difficult. When she saw Li Ji and walked over, it was already an hour later, but the iron cable was only tens of meters long.
"Dad, I can't pass. I'll go back and practice hard. Don't let me pass. It's going to kill me." Pei Yan pouted and muttered quietly in Pei Qinhu's arms.
Pei Qinhu couldn't help but laugh. Their practice at Wangyue Peak was different from Tongtian Peak. They climbed up the thousand-foot Wangyue Peak every day. Although it was difficult, mortals could do it as long as they had perseverance.
Not to mention those of them who have been practicing for several years.
Even so, Pei Yan didn't want to practice. The family was noisy and she didn't want to practice anymore. Pei Qinhu couldn't do anything to her, so he took her to the place where she practiced at Tongtian Peak.
Originally, he wanted Pei Yan to experience it, so that she would know that the other pulse cultivation was difficult for them, but it seemed that after seeing Li Ji cross the iron rope, he also achieved the effect he wanted.
Seeing the frightened expression of his daughter in his arms, Pei Qinhu smiled and said, "My dear daughter, let's go over there and go home."
When Pei Yan heard this, it was alright. She moved vigorously in Pei Qinhu's arms and tried to run out. It was just to scare Pei Yan and she didn't think about what to do. It was good that she had such a big reaction.
"Okay, okay, that's it, let's go home." Pei Qinhu comforted him.
After putting Pei Yan down, Pei Yan still looked at Pei Qinhu with some vigilance, fearing that he would pull her up again, which made Pei Qinhu look funny.
Holding Pei Yan's hand, the father and daughter planned to go back.
Looking at Li Ji who was sitting under the tree and resting, Pei Yan suddenly raised her head and asked, "Dad, do they all practice like this? How long will it take?"
Pei Qinhu looked down at Pei Yan. Her hair was wet by the river water. She couldn't see Pei Yan's expression clearly at this time. However, Pei Qinhu stopped and asked softly: "What's wrong, good daughter?"
"Dad, I want to go over and have a look."
Pei Qinhu looked at his daughter as if he didn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say?"
"Dad, I said I suddenly thought about it."
Holding Pei Yan in his arms, Pei Qinhu stood there for a long time, suddenly laughed, and said to Pei Yan: "My good daughter, you have to think about it, this will pass..."
"I know, I just walked by. I don't know why you are so nagging. Are you leaving or not? If not, I will go back."
"Let's go. It's rare for a good daughter to be so courageous. How can I go back? If you give up halfway later, I won't agree to it."
"I know."
Although he said this, when he actually stepped on it, the violent shaking feeling and the splashing of the water on his body still made the still young Pei Yan palpitate. However, Pei Yan gritted her teeth and persisted.
On the other side of the river, Li Ji had already rested and started his second homework. When he was too tired to straighten his back and collapsed on the ground, he would look at Pei Yan and the others, but he never heard Pei Yan's surprise again.
voice.
The sun was already setting, and Li Ji was already exhausted. He didn't know when Pei Yan came over, or how long her legs had been weak. She almost couldn't stand up like him.
Like Li Ji, Pei Yan also had a tall firewood pile set up in front of her. But what made Pei Yan feel different was that the firewood was extremely moist. She could have lit the firewood pile when she was at Wangyue Peak.
The top layer of the tree, but here, she couldn't even light the top one. Not only was the wood picked up damp, but it was too close to the waterfall, which would increase her consumption.
Spiritual power. She had been busy all afternoon, but in the end, like Li Ji, she worked in vain.
Pei Qinhu, however, was at leisure at this time. For him, this was a rare afternoon time. The sun was shining on his body, and he was lazily watching the sun go down. He didn't have to think about anything.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Pei Qinhu jumped down from the top of the tree and landed in front of Pei Yan. Looking at his daughter who was almost unable to stand due to fatigue, Pei Qinhu couldn't help but smile and said softly
: "Good daughter, let's go back."
Pei Yan glanced at Li Ji at this time, tilted her head, and said to Pei Qinhu: "Dad, why doesn't he leave? It will be dark soon."
Pei Qinhu smiled and explained to Pei Yan: "Daughter, he is resting. When his strength recovers, he will have to walk the iron rope again."
"Ah? If you still leave, you will be exhausted."
"Oh, I'm afraid I've been traveling for a few years and I'm familiar with the road. Why are you worried? Let's go. I'm afraid your mother will be impatient."
