Hu Xian 'er turned her head to look at Little Crane Grass, then she smiled faintly and said, "Crane Grass, don't mind it. Tenth Uncle is that kind of person. His mind is completely focused on cultivation. Even when he sees my father, he's still the same. Let's go." Little Crane Grass nodded, then he followed Hu Xian' er into the Sky Supporting Tree.
The Sky Supporting Tree was very simple. There were only a few small houses inside. There seemed to be people living in the houses, but those people didn't appear. Hu Xian 'er directly led Little Crane Grass and Ling' er upstairs.
After going up to the sixth floor, they went to a door on the side. Upon entering the door, Little Crane Grass was stunned. This was because they found themselves on a huge branch. This branch was very thick. It wasn't a problem for three people to walk on it side by side. Moreover, it was very long, directly extending outside the castle. On the opposite side, there was another Sky Supporting Tree. This Sky Supporting Tree was also very tall. It also had a branch that stretched out. These two branches actually formed a small bridge that allowed people to walk from the castle to the outside.
Hu Xian 'er didn't pay attention to Little Crane Grass's startled appearance, and directly led Little Crane Grass out of the castle. The three of them passed through the bridge, and soon arrived at the Sky Supporting Tree on the opposite side. Originally, they had entered from the door on the Sky Supporting Tree, then went down from the Sky Supporting Tree, and finally came out.
During this process, Little Crane Grass didn't see anyone. However, Little Crane Grass felt that there were people in the Sky Supporting Tree. In the two Sky Supporting Trees, there were at least six to eight people on each floor. However, these people all stayed in their rooms and didn't appear.
Although Little Crane Grass wanted to know why these people didn't appear, he didn't ask. He followed Hu Xian 'er all the way out of the Sky Supporting Tree. Upon arriving outside the Sky Supporting Tree, Little Crane Grass was stunned. He really didn't think that the back of the castle would be like this.
Behind the castle was a valley. This valley was very beautiful. It was full of green plants. There were all kinds of plants. It was like a miniature botanical garden. It was very beautiful.
Little Crane Grass carefully looked around. The plants in the valley weren't any less than the plants outside the fort. Moreover, the natural energy here was much stronger. Because of this, Little Crane Grass liked this place very much.
Hu Xian 'er led Little Crane Grass into the valley, and while walking, she said to Little Crane Grass, "Crane Grass, this valley is where some of the elders of the Hu Clan live. They don't live in the castle, because the climate here is like spring all year round, and it's very quiet, so they all like to live here. The people and plants here were all planted by those elders. Third Grandpa is also here, remember, the elders here don't like to be disturbed. If Third Grandpa really wants you to stay here to study, then don't disturb them, do you hear me?" Little Crane Grass nodded and followed Hu Xian' er inside.
Before long, the group entered the valley. There weren't any towering trees in the valley, but there were many tall trees. Treehouses were built on top of these trees, while some were built under the trees. The entire valley gave people a peaceful and harmonious feeling.
But what made Little Crane Grass feel strange was that he didn't see anyone in the valley. He didn't even sense anyone. This made Little Crane Grass very puzzled.
Hu Xian 'er didn't say anything, she just led Little Crane Grass all the way inside. Before long, they arrived at the valley and stopped in front of a small wooden house.
Hu Xian 'er reached out her hand and gently patted the small wooden layer. Then she stopped and stood outside the wooden house. There was no sound coming from inside the wooden house. This made Little Crane Grass very puzzled, because he didn't feel anyone inside the wooden house.
However, Hu Xian 'er didn't move, she still stood outside the door. She didn't seem to be anxious at all. This made Little Crane Grass even more puzzled. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, "Little Xian 'er, you're here. This is the disciple you sent to me." This voice came from behind Little Crane Grass. Little Crane Grass couldn't help but turn around to take a look.
He saw an old man standing behind him. This old man was wearing coarse clothes. He didn't wear any shoes, he was barefoot. His trousers were rolled up, and he was holding a hoe in his hand. He was dressed like an old farmer.
Upon seeing this person, Little Crane Grass couldn't help but stare. Then he felt a sense of familiarity. This was because Little Crane Grass was born in the countryside. His grandfather and father usually dressed like this. Now that he saw this old man dressed like this, he naturally felt a sense of familiarity.
At the same time, the little crane grass also noticed the soul object on top of the old man's head. It was a vine with a flower blooming on top of it. The flower was completely black and looked very strange. But at the stamen of the flower, there was a white devil's face. This made the flower look even more terrifying.
Hu Xian 'er immediately bowed to the old man and said, "Third Grandpa, you're back. Right, this is the disciple I found for you, Crane Grass. Crane Grass, this is my Third Grandpa, the Master I found for you."
When Little Crane Grass heard Hu Xian 'er, he immediately knelt down. However, Hu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't kneel. I'll make it clear to you. You're not my disciple yet, so you can't call me Master. Just call me Third Grandpa. When I think that you can become my disciple, then it won't be too late."
When Little Crane Grass heard Hu Yuan, he didn't kneel down. Instead, he bowed and said, "Yes, I've seen Third Grandpa."
Hu Yuan nodded. Then he turned his head to Hu Xian 'er and said, "Xian' er, since you're here, you can go back. I don't have anything good to entertain you. Go back." Hu Xian 'er nodded. Then she bowed to Hu Yuan and turned around to leave.
After Hu Xian 'er left, Hu Yuan turned his head to look at Little Crane Grass. At this time, Little Crane Grass was still wearing a scholar's robe. Hu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Kid, go inside and change your clothes. How are you going to work with those clothes? Your family has already sent your clothes over. They're in the cabinet. Go change." Little Crane Grass nodded. Then he opened the door but didn't go inside. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan nodded. Then he took the hoe and entered the wooden house. Then he placed the hoe in a corner of the house. After that, Little Crane Grass followed him inside.
The wooden house wasn't very big. It was only about 20 square meters. The furnishings inside the house were very simple. There were two single beds. One bed had a set of clothes on it while the other was a bare bed. Moreover, it looked very new.
In between the two beds, there was a cabinet. This cabinet was made of wood and had four doors. It was very big, about two Mego meters in size and a meter in width.
Near the door of the wooden house, there was a small table. Next to the table were two small round wooden stools. Next to the table were several boxes with fruits in the corner of the house. There were several farm tools in the corner.
The old man walked to the small table and sat on the small round stool. Then he took out a fruit from the box and ate it. Little Crane Grass walked to the cabinet and opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, he discovered that it was filled with coarse clothes that the old man wore. They were very big, so he couldn't wear them.
He then opened the lower cabinet. There were some clothes in the lower cabinet. These clothes were also made of coarse cloth, but they were much smaller than the ones above. It seems like they were prepared for him.
Little Crane Grass immediately took out a set of clothes and changed his clothes. At the same time, he also took off his shoes and placed them to the side. He walked barefoot and rolled up his trousers.
Hu Yuan has been quietly watching Little Crane Grass's movements. Little Crane Grass's movements were very natural. Moreover, after putting on those coarse clothes, it didn't feel uncomfortable at all. This made Hu Yuan's face show a trace of surprise.
Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass and said, "Kid, have you worn these clothes before?"
Little Crane Grass stared blankly, then she looked at Hu Yuan in confusion and said, "I've worn it before. I used to wear this kind of clothes in my village. Later on, when I went to school in the city, I changed to these clothes. I feel that these clothes are more comfortable to wear." Then she looked at Hu Yuan and chuckled.
When Hu Yuan heard Little Crane Grass, he nodded and said, "Alright, it's good that you've worn them before. Kid, I want to make it clear to you that my family doesn't care about this place. They also won't give me anything to eat. Do you see these fruits? These fruits will be your food in the future. However, the ones in the box aren't. You have to pick your own food. In this valley, as long as you can find it, you can pick it. But there's one thing, you can't make a fire. This valley doesn't allow people to make a fire. Do you understand? "
When Little Crane Grass heard Hu Yuan, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't think that there would be such a strange rule in this valley. However, he still nodded and said, "Yes, Third Grandfather, I understand."
Hu Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, you can go out and familiarize yourself with the valley. Right, you can also bring back some food. If you can't find anything, then you can come back and eat the fruits in the basket. But let me tell you, today is the only day. After today, you'll have to find your own food." Hu Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, you can go out and familiarize yourself with the surroundings.
Little Crane Grass nodded, then he turned around and walked out of the door. Hu Yuan looked at Little Crane Grass's back and muttered, "Kid, I hope that you can pass this test. That way, this old man will have a successor." Then he closed his eyes and sat there quietly.
Little Crane Grass didn't care too much. He came out of his room and walked around the valley. Before long, he found a pool. Little Crane Grass immediately went over. He saw that there were several wooden barrels on the side of the pool as well as several gourd ladles that could be used to hold water. Little Crane Grass walked over and picked up a gourd ladle. He scooped some water and drank a mouthful. The water was sweet and tasty.
Little Crane Grass drank a mouthful of water with satisfaction. Then he carefully looked at the small pool. The pool was about 100 square meters in size. The water was very clear, but he couldn't see the bottom. It seemed very deep. In the middle of the pool, there was a spring. There was a column of water that was constantly churning.
Little Crane Grass looked to the side. There were a lot of footprints on the side of the pool. It seems like people often come here. Little Crane Grass didn't care. After putting down the ladle, he walked towards the valley.
