The closer we got to the top, the steeper the path got. It was fortunate that someone built a plank path using wood. However, it became even harder to climb. A boy was in charge of dragging a girl up.
"Is there really someone living on the top of the mountain? What does he eat? "Guo Fengguang said.
"He probably planted his own crops and food," I looked at the top of the mountain. I noticed that all sorts of energy gathered here, it was a good place to cultivate. Could the person living on top be a cultivator?
Wang Lei complained, "Class leader, what kind of place did you pick? To come to the wilderness. There probably won't be any houses on the top of such a steep mountain. There are so many of us, and we have to stay here for a night. If anything happens, let's see what you'll do! "
Meng Xudong's mood wasn't very good today, it should be his family's matters that affected his mood.
"Stop talking about the class leader. Is it easy for him to arrange so many things by himself? "Hou Yangbo said something fair for Meng Xudong.
"That's right. Everyone stop talking. We're all classmates in the same class, isn't the class leader just trying to make everyone have more fun? Coming here to play, it's not like those tourist attractions, where you have to pay this and that. Coming here to play, it's more exciting, the scenery you see is also the original scenery, "the group secretary Duan Wenlei said.
Hearing that, everyone finally stopped complaining.
Liang Yongchun pulled my hand, but seemed to be very relaxed.
"Today is really weird, as long as I hold your hand, it's like I don't feel tired at all," Liang Yongchun's steps were still very light.
This was all me releasing my energy unintentionally, and Liang Yongchun got it for free. I didn't even notice it myself. Although Liang Yongchun felt that her body was a bit weird today. However, she didn't suspect me.
"You girls should all learn from Liang Yongchun, how easy it is for her to climb the mountain, what are you all like!" Duan Wenlei said loudly.
Liang Yongchun was very excited after receiving the performance. He let go of my hand, and skipped up the hill a long way, until he was panting with exhaustion. Then she waited for me up there. She had to rely on me to pull her up again.
"It's really weird, why don't I feel tired when I hold your hand, it's really weird," Liang Yongchun finally felt that it was a bit weird.
"Really? Wang Lei heard Liang Yongchun's words and chased after us with difficulty. He also reached out and took my hand.
Although I didn't purposely use my energy to help them recover their stamina, when my body moves, the surrounding energy will form a cycle around my body. Naturally, they would be able to gain some advantages.
"Hey. It was true. Huang Jingyang, you're not hiding some treasure on you, are you? How is it that I can recover my strength just by holding your hand? Students, come and give it a try. Huang Jingyang's hands can recover their strength. "Wang Lei was a troublesome girl.
"You still don't know? Huang Jingyang is a martial arts expert. He must have used his internal energy to help you recover your physical strength. You're still not satisfied. You actually called someone else. I'll only be satisfied if I exhaust all of Huang Jingyang's stamina, "Guo Fengguang was a bit dissatisfied that the girls in the class were taking advantage of me.
It was not easy to reach the top of the mountain. The Taoist temple in reality was completely different from the Taoist temple in his imagination. This Daoist temple was more like a tent than a Daoist temple. It was really too simple.
"Didn't they say that after suffering comes happiness? Shouldn't this be a grand Taoist temple? Why, why is it like this? "Wang Lei was completely dumbfounded when she saw the Taoist temple.
However, in my eyes, this Taoist temple was different from other people's. This Taoist temple was not simple. There were four simple words written on the plaque at the entrance of the Taoist temple: Seeing Dao without Roots. These four words were not simple. Normal people would naturally not be able to see it. Perhaps in their eyes, these four words were a bit unsightly. In terms of calligraphy, these four words were not much. However, I was able to see the skills of the person who wrote these four words. This was a person who had achieved Dao. These four words looked simple, but they contained a trace of true meaning.
"Isn't it natural to have friends from afar?" I heard a clear male voice come from the Taoist temple. In an instant, a Taoist priest who looked to be around fifty years old walked out of the Taoist temple.
"This Taoist priest is Zhao Ziwei. Welcome guests to our temple. The rooms in the Taoist temple have bedding. You can take it if you want, but make sure to tidy it up before you leave. "Taoist Priest Zhao was calm and collected. He had the demeanor of a transcendent being.
I tried my best to hide myself like an ordinary student. However, I still attracted Zhao Ziwei's attention.
Zhao Ziwei looked at me several times, his expression changing slightly.
I tried my best not to look at Taoist Priest Zhao and not to attract his attention. Perhaps Taoist Priest Zhao found it hard to believe that a child like me had entered the Dao. After looking at me several times, he did not look at me again.
"How are we going to sleep tonight? There are only a few blankets, it's not enough to cover us. There are so many people in our class, what are we going to do tonight? "Duan Wenlei said to Meng Xujun with some worry.
"Don't worry, we'll just play all night." Hou Yangbo said from the side.
Meng Xudong furrowed his brows, but did not say anything.
"Class leader, you don't have to believe Huang Jingyang's words. Maybe Huang Jingyang was just guessing? Why don't you go back and ask your parents about these things? I'm sure they have their reasons. It might not be what you think. "Hou Yangbo knew what Meng Xudong was worried about.
Meng Xudong nodded. "Today's matter is all thanks to the two of you."
"I'm the group secretary, it's my duty to organize the students." Duan Wenlei said.
Taoist Priest Zhao was the only one living in the temple, so the food storage was very limited. After all, it wasn't easy to bring supplies up to the peak. There were many vegetable plots near the house. There were many vegetables planted there. However, it was only enough for Taoist Priest Zhao to be self-sufficient. Dozens of us came at once, so Taoist Priest Zhao's food storage was not enough.
My classmates had some junk food in their bags. The taste was not bad, but the amount was clearly not enough to fill their stomachs. We used up a lot of energy on the way here, so we had almost finished all the snacks. Our stomachs were already growling.
"You can take as much food as you want, but I don't have much food here. I'm afraid it won't be enough for so many of you. "Taoist Priest Zhao was straightforward, but the conditions here were really tough.
"I brought some noodles up here." I took out several packets of noodles from my bag.
"Huang Jingyang, how did you know to bring noodles up here?" Guo Fengguang asked strangely.
"This mountain is so steep, no one can bring too much stuff up here. There are so many of us here, so there won't be enough for us to eat, "I said.
"That's true." Guo Fengguang nodded.
However, even with the packets of noodles I brought up, it wasn't enough to satisfy everyone.
"Cook more soup. Even if you aren't full, you can drink some hot soup," Meng Xudong said.
Taoist Priest Zhao waved his hand at me, indicating for me to come over.
I walked over suspiciously. Guo Fengguang wanted to follow me, but I stopped him.
"I have something to do outside. Don't come over." I quickly stopped him.
Guo Fengguang didn't know what had happened. However, he still obeyed my words.
I knew that Taoist Priest Zhao had seen something from me.
"I planted some sweet potatoes here. Although it's not harvest season yet, it's not far away. If I dig them out now, they will be enough to satisfy your hunger, "Taoist Priest Zhao said.
"You don't even have a water source here. How did you grow these vegetables?" I asked.
"Don't you see the big water tanks in the yard? They are the ones I used to collect the Rootless Water. This water can be used for both food and vegetables, "Zhao Daozhang said as he pointed at the water tanks under the eaves in the courtyard.
I raised my head and saw that the tanks were filled with water. I nodded. "I see."
I was still a bit worried. "If we run out of water and there's no rain, what can we do?"
"It's not like that hasn't happened before. However, there's always a way to overcome it. You should have your own way! "Taoist Priest Zhao said.
"Me?" I looked at Taoist Priest Zhao in surprise.
"Don't look at me. We're on the same path, "Taoist Priest Zhao said, looking at me with a smile.
I also raised my head to look at Taoist Priest Zhao. It turned out that Taoist Priest Zhao had already seen through me.
"Let's go." Taoist Priest Zhao took a hoe from under the eaves. Then, he handed me a dustpan by the door. Fortunately, I was quite tall, so I was able to pick up the dustpan properly.
There wasn't a lot of fertile soil on the mountaintop, so the vegetable fields were very small. The surrounding weeds and bushes were crazily trying to snatch the nutrients from the fields. It wasn't easy to grow crops in such a place.
Moreover, there was no water source on the mountaintop, so the vegetable fields needed to be watered frequently. They had to rely on the big water tanks in the Taoist temple to store water. However, I suspected that the big water tanks in the temple were just decorations that Taoist Priest Zhao had used to deceive people. Since Taoist Priest Zhao could see through me, his cultivation wasn't low. He could use Daoist techniques to move water. If his Daoist techniques were profound, he would be able to move clouds and summon rain. There was no need to rely on those big water tanks. Moreover, the vegetable fields in this mountainous area couldn't store water. I was afraid that those water tanks wouldn't be enough.
"Little Daoist, you're so young, but your Daoist roots are so deep. You're a dragon or phoenix among men. However, Daoist techniques are only minor Daoists. People who cultivate Daoist techniques cultivate both life and death. The Dao of immortality is the true Dao. Little Daoist, don't be led astray, "Taoist Priest Zhao said.
I was startled. This Taoist Priest Zhao was too powerful. He could read my thoughts. I stared blankly at him.
"Little Daoist, don't be surprised. I've been through this before. These are all mistakes that I made when I was cultivating Daoist. I just wanted you to learn from them." Taoist Priest Zhao seemed to see my surprise.
I was startled. Now, I knew that Taoist Priest Zhao had guessed.
