On this day, as usual, Guo Jia was half-lying on the bed with her legs crossed, doing nothing. The door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Bai Lan who came. The child was still dressed as before, wearing snow-white clothes.
"The meal is ready. My sister asked me to come over and call you." Bai Lan said.
After Guo Jia recovered from his illness, the Bai sisters stopped bringing him food and asked him to eat by himself, saving him the trouble of carrying food around. Logically speaking, Guo Jia couldn't make a living, but Guo Jia didn't know how to cook, and he didn't choose any unmarried women in the village to be his wife, so he could go to their house to make a living before Guo Jia got a wife. I have to say that these village elders really take special care of him as an outsider. Unfortunately, he really can't get used to the life here.
"Don't you have any other clothes to change into? Aren't you tired of wearing these white clothes all day long?" Guo Jia couldn't help but complain.
"I'm happy to. Besides, don't you wear the same clothes all day long?" Bai Lan said disapprovingly.
"That's because the tailor in your village only made me a few sets of the same clothes, all made of white fabric, just like mourning clothes." Guo Jia said angrily.
"What's wrong with white? White is so beautiful. Everyone in our village likes this color. You foreigner is ignorant!" Bai Lan said unconvinced.
"Come on, we have a generation gap, let's go and eat." Guo Jia said without interest.
"What does generation gap mean?" Bai Lan asked curiously.
"My IQ is too high, your IQ is too low, you are mentally retarded, and you can't understand what I say." Guo Jia explained simply and rudely.
"What does IQ mean?" Bai Lan continued to ask.
"How did a little girl like you get so much curiosity? Don't ask." Guo Jia said impatiently.
"The teacher said that you should not be ashamed to ask questions of your subordinates. Also, don't call me little girl. I've already told you that you are younger than me, so you should call me grandma," Bai Lan said.
"Hey, you're still in high spirits." Guo Jia laughed angrily.
Bai Lan waved her fist with a smile, and Guo Jia was instantly frightened.
"Why are you eating fish again~" Guo Jia looked at the three dishes and one soup on the dining table and complained tirelessly. The three dishes are stir-fried shredded fish, pickled fish, and braised fish. The soup is stewed fish soup. Guo Jia doesn’t like eating fish. He hates the smell of fish and the chewy texture of fish. He usually refuses when others force him to eat it. He was going crazy if he didn't eat, let alone three meals a day.
"You're a freeloader and you have the nerve to complain every day. Are all of you mainlanders as shameless as you?" Bai Lian said expressionlessly.
"That's right, there are so many men who want to eat the food cooked by my sister but they still can't. You are the only one with the most problems." Bai Lan agreed.
"Alas! Alas! Alas!" Guo Jia sighed three times, holding chopsticks in one hand and covering his nose with the other, chewing slowly with a sad look on his face.
Guo Jia has been acting like this for several days in a row. Even the Clay Bodhisattva is still earthy, not to mention the arrogant Bai Lian. She was originally quite confident in her cooking skills, but now she is being poured cold water on by Guo Jia one after another. , my mood suddenly deteriorated to the extreme. I saw Bai Lian slamming her chopsticks on the table, standing up, and glaring: "You think my food is not delicious, then if you have the ability, you can cook a few dishes for me to see."
"Hey, I don't think your cooking is not delicious, I'm just wondering, do you eat fish all year round? Isn't there pork, beef, mutton, chicken, etc.?" Guo Jia asked.
"What is that?" Bai Lian asked confused.
"No, isn't it? Are there no other animals here besides humans and fish?" Guo Jia asked in shock.
"Yes!" Bai Lan replied quickly.
Guo Jia was overjoyed and quickly asked: "Tell me and listen."
"We also have rabbits and dogs here, but these two things are inedible. The dogs we raise here all have owners. The wild rabbits in the mountains can only be caught and eaten during the Chinese New Year. If you really want to Just wait until the Chinese New Year to eat other meat, rabbit meat is delicious!" Bai Lan said with a beaming eyebrow.
"This..." Guo Jia didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Guo Jia, I'm warning you, don't take advantage of those rabbits in the mountains. If I find out, I will definitely report you to the elders." Bai Lian suddenly threatened.
At this time, Bai Lan suddenly sneaked up behind Guo Jia, covered her mouth and whispered: "My sister likes rabbits the most, and she hates seeing others eat rabbit meat."
Seeing the two of them whispering, Bai Lian became furious and said angrily: "Do you want to eat or not? If not, get out of here!"
The two of them sat down to have a good meal. While they were eating, Guo Jia secretly looked at Bai Lian a few times. He didn't expect that Bai Lian, who was usually cold and arrogant, had such a cute little temperament, and he felt a little more fond of her. He thought that if I didn't escape from Penglai Cave in the end, I might as well marry her. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a shameless grin, but he quickly covered it up.
After the meal, the three of them cleared the dishes together. Guo Jia suddenly remembered that there is a custom of young people practicing martial arts here, and couldn't help asking Bai Lian: "Um, Bai Lian, are you going to go up the mountain to practice martial arts with your master later?" Bar?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Bai Lian frowned.
"Well, you see, I've been sitting around at home doing nothing lately. I'm really bored. It just so happens that I'm quite interested in martial arts. How about you introduce me to me and let me be your junior brother?" Guo Jia said dragging her chin.
"That's not possible. Our sect only recruits female disciples. If you really want to become a disciple, go to other sects and see. Maybe there will be some old man with no eyesight who is willing to take you in." Bai Lian said with a strange expression.
"Wow! What you said is too harsh. Maybe I am a martial arts wizard." Guo Jia said shamelessly.
"I'm just telling you the truth, your bones are not that good and you are not the material for martial arts training." Bai Lian said bluntly.
"But I can study hard and practice hard." Guo Jia said shamelessly.
Bai Lian scoffed.
"Speaking of which, will the elders be unhappy if I go to the mountains to practice martial arts?" Guo Jia asked cautiously.
"As long as you don't burn, kill, and loot, the elders won't care what you do." Bai Lian rolled her eyes and said truthfully.
"Okay, I'll go with you later. Just take me to a valley with a sect." Guo Jia said to himself.
"Whatever you want." Bai Lian said with an indifferent expression.
"Sister! I also want to practice martial arts. Can you take me there too?" Bai Lan heard the conversation between the two and immediately started cheering.
Bai Lian rubbed Bai Lan's head and said softly: "You are still young. In a hundred years, my sister will find the best master to teach you, okay? Be good."
"But Guo Jia is younger than me, why can he go?" Bai Lan said unconvinced.
"You are different from him. People on land grow up quickly. He is already considered an adult. Compared with him, you are still a child. Besides, no mountain sect will want him anyway, so you don't need to be jealous of him." Bai Lian comforted.
"Unfair! It's really unfair!" Bai Lan complained with a pout.
The conversation between the two made Guo Jia furious. He actually thought he was a martial arts prodigy.
After a stick of incense, Guo Jia followed Bai Lian to a grand canyon surrounded by mountains. This is the largest mountain range in Penglai Cave. It spreads for dozens of miles and occupies a quarter of the entire Penglai Cave. land. Although there are many peaks here, not every mountain has a sect. Only the mountain with a mountain gate archway at the foot of the mountain is a mountain with a sect.
"Okay, I'm going to find my master. The road leads here. If you want to become a master, just go climb the mountains with mountain gates. I have a hunch that you will climb many mountains today." Bai Lian had something to say. Point the way.
"Okay, okay, don't be rude to me. Let's just say goodbye here and see you at dinner." Guo Jia replied.
the next day.
Bai Lian put a bowl of freshly stewed fish head and tofu soup on the table and said to her sister Bai Lan, "Call Guo Jia to come over for dinner."
"Yes." Bai Lan nodded and trotted all the way to Guo Jia's house, which was only a hundred meters away from their home. When she opened the door, she saw Guo Jia lying on the bed with her legs in the air. She looked very tired. Bai Lan came. Then he reluctantly sat up and asked, "Is dinner ready?"
"Are you sick? Do you want to go to the village to see the doctor?" Bai Lan, who didn't know the truth, asked kindly.
"I'm not sick, I'm just tired." Guo Jia said truthfully.
"How was your apprenticeship yesterday?" Bai Lan asked curiously.
"Well, no sect is willing to accept me yet." Guo Jia said awkwardly.
"Puff." Bai Lan covered her mouth and laughed evilly.
"..."
At the dinner table, Bai Lian also asked, "Hey, how is your apprenticeship going?"
Bai Lian's tone of voice sounded a bit like a joke. Guo Jia couldn't help but frown, and replied unhappily: "It's not done yet."
"Then how many mountains have you climbed?" Bai Lian did not hear Guo Jia's unhappiness and continued to gloat.
Guo Jia was silent for a few seconds and then told her: "Seven seats."
"Puff." "Puff." When Bai Lian and Bai Lan heard this, they covered their mouths and snickered at the same time. They were indeed sisters, and their expressions when they smiled were very similar.
Guo Jia sighed helplessly and laughed at himself: "I can't help it. Why do I have poor qualifications? Even those martial arts masters look down on me."
"Then will you continue going tomorrow?" Bai Lan asked.
"Of course, I always have a beginning and an end when doing things." Guo Jia said without thinking.
The next day, Guo Jia came to the foot of the mountains again. The result was similar to yesterday. The so-called martial arts masters rejected him one by one. The sects he visited included those who practiced boxing, some who practiced kicking, and some who practiced Qigong. There are also people who practice palm skills, in short, there are all kinds of people.
Those sect masters all rejected Guo Jia because of his poor foundation. They didn't even let him take the entry test and advised him to learn other skills. Although Guo Jia was not very interested in martial arts, being rejected by so many people aroused the stubbornness in his heart.
However, he only climbed three mountains today before he felt that his physical strength was too much. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he planned to go back to rest early, but halfway through, he suddenly remembered that Bai Lian had said that in addition to the nearby peaks, there were some small sects deep in the mountains. Door.
So, Guo Jia decided to try his luck deep in the mountains, maybe he could find a sect willing to accept him. After passing through two valleys, he discovered a mountain gate. The stone carving archway of the mountain gate was engraved with three powerful characters: Jue Sword Sect.
Guo Jia raised his head and watched for a while, thinking in his mind: This sect seems to be for practicing swordsmanship~ (Guo Jia suddenly thought about his heroic sword dancing), it looks very good, go in and take a look.
Ten minutes later, Guo Jia panted up the top of the mountain and arrived at the door of the Juejian Sect. He found that there was not even a gatekeeper disciple here, so he rushed in without thinking much. I originally thought that this sect that didn’t even have gatekeepers must be a small sect, but when I walked in, I saw that the training room, armory, wing room, ancestral hall and other facilities were all available. It was more impressive than any sect I had been to before. Guo Jia felt a little scared. Such a powerful sect would not want him.
However, for such a large-scale sect, Guo Jia wandered around for a long time without seeing a single person. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. Guo Jia searched everywhere he could find, but still couldn't find anyone. He started to go to the sect. The omniscient system asked: Where have the people in this sect gone?
Answer: Out.
Guo Jia couldn't help but was speechless. It seemed that his work was in vain. The sky was getting dark at this time. Now he would probably have to walk at night when going down the mountain. Guo Jia thought about it again and decided to stay here for one night and go out to explore in the morning. Road, no one is here anyway. This mysterious female formation is extremely mysterious. Not only can it simulate day and night, but the time difference is exactly the same as the outside world. I don’t know what the principle of operation is. Even the omniscient system cannot analyze the foundation of this formation. Guo Jia can’t help but sigh. The ancient metaphysics of our country is broad and profound.
Guo Jia found a good side room, put his head up and fell asleep. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep. He had been tired for the whole day.
At midnight, a majestic-looking old man in linen climbed up the mountain and entered the sect, which was deserted except for Guo Jia. Judging from the way he strolled around, he was obviously very familiar with the terrain here. , when passing by the disciple's wing, he suddenly stopped and was startled.
The old man in sackcloth looked suspicious and walked towards the bedroom where Guo Jia was. When he found Guo Jia sleeping, he was very surprised. He walked over and looked at Guo Jia a few times and said to himself: "Such a face, whose doll is this?"
Guo Jia was sleeping soundly and had no idea that someone had barged in. He neither snored nor grinded his teeth while sleeping, and only made slight snoring sounds. This was even noticed by the old man in sackcloth, which was really incredible. The old man in sackcloth angrily pushed Guo Jia with his hand and scolded: "Boy, who allowed you to sleep here? Are there any rules?"
However, Guo Jia slept deeply and showed no sign of waking up. The middle-aged man in Mai snorted coldly and said to himself: "Forget it, I will teach you a lesson tomorrow morning."
