C152 Do Me a Favor
"Young man, are you busy? "Old man, I'm a bit tired from carrying water from the mountain. Can you help me to pick it up?" An old man appeared from behind and patted Soong Tianxuan's shoulder.
Surprised, Soong Tianxuan quickly turned around.
He didn't feel anything at all. Just what cultivation level was this old man at?
"Uncle..." Just as Soong Tianxuan was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered something.
Then, he said, "Sure, which mountain?"
There were more than ten mountains in the distance, some high and some low, with different risks.
"That one." The old man tapped his waist and pointed to the one in the middle.
Soong Tianxuan looked in the direction pointed by the old man and was instantly petrified. That was no mountain at all. It was clearly a towering mountain. As far as the eye could see, it was clearly the highest mountain.
"Senior, do you really have to pick a load of water and go up the mountain every day?" Soong Tianxuan said incredulously as he pointed to the carrying pole and the two buckets full of water beside the old man.
The old man was startled, but quickly smiled: "Kid, I have an old bone, would I lie to you? If you don't want to help, then don't want to help. Why are you making fun of me? "Forget it, I'm looking for someone else. The youngsters these days are getting more and more impatient."
Soong Tianxuan was a bit embarrassed. He rushed forward and grabbed the carrying pole that the old man was about to carry and said with a smile, "Senior, Senior, I didn't mean it that way."
"What does that mean?" The old man held onto his carrying pole and was about to stand up and leave.
The only reason why he could appear beside him without a sound was because this old man's strength was too high. With his soul, it wasn't impossible for him to discover him, let alone an old man without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy.
He definitely had to help this time.
"I mean, for my help, who asked you to bring water at such an age? It's really immoral, lacking in quality. " Soong Tianxuan smiled, making up a reason that even he did not believe in.
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but smile: "That's more like it, little kid. Actually it isn't that far, I picked it up from the lake and have already helped you pick out a normal route. There is only half of a road left.
"Eh …. "Fine." Soong Tianxuan was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head. This old man was really stingy. He only told a story. However, judging from his expression, he shouldn't look too nice. If he didn't agree, he might be ridiculed or something like that.
"Alright, it's a deal. This old man will go back first. Choose slowly." After the old man finished speaking, he twisted his waist and ran along the mountain path like a youngster.
Soong Tianxuan was dumbfounded. Was this still called having a bad waist? Since he ran so fast, he had already disappeared from his sight in two breaths' time. Then, what speed did he have when his waist was so good …
"Not bad, once we're up the mountain, we'll ask him why he's running so fast..." Soong Tianxuan cursed. He carried the carrying pole in one hand and wanted to carry two buckets of water and put it on his shoulder.
But in the next moment, Soong Tianxuan was speechless. The water on both sides of the carrying pole seemed to weigh ten thousand kilograms. His current Early Period of Sendai was at least fifty thousand kilograms, but he couldn't carry two buckets of water.
"What kind of water is this …?" "Why is it so heavy …" Soong Tianxuan was carrying a bucket of water in one hand, which weighed at least fifty thousand Jin.
He instantly felt that he had been cheated, sold off, and still helped to raise money.
Soong Tianxuan stood on the spot with a helpless look on his face. What kind of lousy story would he like to hear? It was obvious that he couldn't think of anything...
Soong Tianxuan bent down, put the carrying pole on his shoulder, stood up, and picked up two buckets of water. This feeling was like when he picked up two buckets of water on Mo Yun Star to water the herbs, and at that time, he couldn't cultivate, but could only use the strength of a normal person.
He didn't expect to be able to cultivate now, and he still felt the same way.
"Sigh... "Let's go, who told you to agree to my request?" Soong Tianxuan looked at Spirit of Profound Yellow who was growing up on the tree inside the Profound Yellow Pearl, then looked at the mountain peak in the distance, sighed, and took his first step.
The sun was setting in the middle of the sky.
Soong Tianxuan was breathing heavily. He was already sweating and his shoulders hurt. In the evening, he had only reached the mountainside.
"Just how tall is this mountain?" Soong Tianxuan stopped and looked around. The forest was not tall. There was a winding trail that led to the top of the mountain.
"How can I say half of it?" Soong Tianxuan cursed.
"A day and a night, only half of it …"
Soong Tianxuan took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his red face. He clenched his teeth and continued walking forward.
Slowly, clouds and mist began to gather around him, and his breathing grew heavier …
The morning sun rose and set. Along the way, he saw many animals: gibbon, red tailed monkey, squirrel, fox …
They all looked at themselves before grumbling as they left. After a while, other animals would come to look at him and pick some wild fruits for him. They would place them in front of him before turning around and running …
Finally, on the third night, he saw the light. A sense of triumph welled up in his heart, and suddenly he wanted to cry, as if he had been wronged.
"Old man, let's see if I'll beat you to death later …" Soong Tianxuan gritted his teeth and walked step by step towards the light with tired steps.
When he reached the front of the house, he discovered that it was a thatched hut. A shabby oil lamp was hung at the door, swaying in the wind.
Soong Tianxuan gritted his teeth and took off the carrying pole from his swollen shoulder. He lifted a bucket of water with both hands and poured it into the pond in front of the door.
Everything was ready, Soong Tianxuan wiped off his sweat. Look at the pool, it was the same as it was before, six feet square and very clear.
"Little kid, why did you only just arrive? Why did you have to walk for such a small distance for three days and three nights already? This won't do. How can you have such a poor physical fitness? " The old man walked out of the thatched cottage. He was munching on a piece of fruit in his hand.
Soong Tianxuan heard this and became angry. He was about to rush up when he realized that his feet were like lead and he couldn't move them. He felt sleepy, so he staggered and fell asleep.
"Sigh, young people these days. Seriously, they aren't even as good as my waist." He looked at the wild fruit in his hand, looked at Soong Tianxuan, and decided to finish the wild fruit first …
Soong Tianxuan slept for two days and two nights straight. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a thatched hut, the sunlight shining in through the window.
"You're awake?" Soong Tianxuan suddenly heard a crisp voice. He looked around but didn't see anyone. He patted his head and thought he was hallucinating.
