While the three junior brothers were arguing, the eldest brother came in and said, "Junior brothers, teacher, please help me."
The three of them stopped talking and followed their elder brother to the main peak cave.
Mu Taoist met several disciples and asked, "How are you prepared?"
The eldest brother was the first to answer: "We still lack the courage of dragon and snake, but the rest are in place."
Jin Wuhuan said: "My disciple, we have prepared the blood centipede here. We plan to go down the mountain to pick the remaining ones immediately. We can prepare them all within a few days."
Hutou also reported his preparations. He still needed two elixirs, which would take about three days.
Only the third senior brother said: "It is difficult to find things such as spiritual herbs and green clam beads. The disciples are asking around."
Jin Wuhuan immediately complained: "Teacher, Third Senior Brother has a green clam bead there, which I saw the month before last."
The third senior brother was furious: "This green clam bead is reserved for spare use. You can't give up your family wealth to someone named Wu. This time we gather together to restore the country, we will have to fight both big and small. In case one of my senior brothers is injured and needs medicine."
But there is none, where can I find it in a hurry?"
Mu Taoren sighed: "Han Zi, take out the green clam beads."
The third senior brother was unwilling to give in: "Teacher..."
Mu Taoist said: "At this time of national crisis, we can no longer only care about our own family. Han Zi, you are thinking about your master, but Wu Sheng is injured because of national affairs. In the face of great righteousness, we must weigh it clearly in our hearts."
The third senior brother lowered his head and said helplessly: "Yes."
Mu Taoist said again: "Originally, Wu Huan was asked to find Wu Sheng to help him serve the country and strengthen our strength. Now that he is here, we find that he is injured and difficult to use. What should we do? We have a way to save him.
It’s unreasonable to just watch and ignore him and delay rescuing him. Let’s go down and prepare as soon as possible so that he can practice Qingmiao Xuan Gong earlier.”
The disciples dispersed, and Jin Wuhuan came back. He did not complain to the third senior brother, but told Mu Taoist about the change of Young Master Zui's attitude towards Wu Sheng, and said angrily: "Did the teacher persuade Young Master Zui? You think so?"
When he is available, he suddenly rises to a high position. I heard that after being injured, he looks at each other coldly, and he is respectful at first and then arrogant. Isn't it heart-breaking?"
Hearing this, Taoist Mu was silent for a long time, and then said, "It's not good for me as a teacher to open my mouth about this matter, lest the young master be suspicious."
Jin Wuhuan said angrily: "Is this why the teacher refused to accept Wu Sheng's entry? Really..." He endured it and did not curse.
Mu Taoist advised: "At this moment, don't let any suspicion arise from within. Wouldn't it be Zhuan Yu who heard about Ji Sun's worries?" He then pondered and asked, "Wu Sheng is not happy?"
Jin Wuhuan said: "But he took a very open-minded view and only said that he was relaxed."
Mu Taoist nodded: "He is quite generous, and he is a talented practitioner... Go and invite him here, and I will teach him the method of cloud patterns first, so that he will not have too much to think about, and too much thinking will lead to many complaints."
Just as Jin Wuhuan was about to leave, Taoist Mu stopped him again: "Did Han Zi tell Gongzi Zhui about Wu Sheng's injury?"
Jin Wuhuan sighed: "Third senior brother wants to get the position of Sikou... Teacher, don't blame him. When he was young, his family was poor and he was bullied by the nobles. He wanted to use this to become a noble."
Mu Taoren nodded: "You go ahead."
Jin Wuhuan descended from the main peak and headed for the green bamboo forest. He was still some distance away from the bamboo house when he heard a commotion and hurried over.
But he saw Wu Sheng carrying a package and coming from the bamboo house. Next to him was a small official, who kept apologizing: "I'm really sorry, sir. We have too few people, and there are so many people who have defected. Many of them are former middle school students."
Your Excellency...move to another place first, and when we are free, we will build a large and spacious hall for you..."
Wu Sheng said: "It doesn't matter, just have a place to sleep... Brother Jin is here?"
The clerk also hurriedly saluted and said hello to Jin Wuhuan. Jin Wuhuan asked him: "What is this? Why do you want Mr. Wu to move away?"
The clerk said with a sad face: "The fisherman came to the mountain. He came suddenly. We didn't prepare a new house for him. Mr. Jin also knew that the cabin we built the most was. Where can the fisherman squeeze into the cabin? Gong Yin ordered him to come down and invite him. Mr. Wu, please be considerate and make room."
Jin Wuhuan was about to get angry, but was stopped by Wu Sheng. To be honest, it was a bit disgusting, but it would pass if he tolerated it. If the emperor and ministers from Hufang treated him too well, he would be very stressed and didn't know what to do. In return, he is now debt-free and lighthearted, which he couldn't ask for.
There were only a thousand people in the small imperial court in exile. They were calculating official positions, status, conditions, and treatment all day long. Wu Sheng really couldn't feel a sense of belonging.
Wu Sheng, the rightful leader, didn't say anything. Jin Wuhuan had no choice but to give up the idea of complaining for him and just asked angrily: "Who is the fisherman?"
The clerk said: "I heard that he was sent by the king before. He got the post of left envoy in Yingdu, Chu State, and became one of the officials. It is really rare. This time, he left his family and career to come to Leigong Mountain to work together for a great cause. .”
While talking, I came to a place halfway up the mountain. From here, I had a very wide view. At the foot of the mountain in the distance, groups of people were welcoming guests. People cheered and surrounded the visitors. On the hillside, there were also young masters. Waiting for the civil and military ministers of Hu Fang's small court, just as they did when he arrived the day before yesterday.
Wu Sheng was stunned, stopped and looked for a moment, and then started again. Although he was still far away, he still recognized that the so-called Yu Dafu was the fisherman who had entrusted him with a large sum of money to assassinate Zhao Yuan, and he was also followed by him. That's a big, strong man, that's Xiao Zhao.
The new residence was indeed small, further away from the main peak, and no longer so quiet. There were many monks around. Jin Wuhuan couldn't stand it any longer and directly suggested: "Just come and live with me."
Wu Sheng also thought it was noisy here, so he did not move in and followed Jin Wuhuan to the main peak. However, he did not live in Jin Wuhuan's residence. Instead, he chose a quiet open space nearby and built his own bamboo house.
Isn’t it just a bamboo house? Who doesn’t know how to build it?
First find a few big trees and cut them down, bury the stumps at the four corners as the base, then cut down a few small trees and flatten them, and use the tenon and tenon principle to carve them into the stumps to make beams, and the frame will come out.
All that's left is to cut down the bamboo, use rattan to twist the ropes, and bind them into floors, walls, and roofs. In order to block the cold winter wind, the walls were specially erected with two layers, the inner and outer layers, to plug up all the gaps.
Doors and windows were quickly made and installed, and a large bamboo house that was half a foot above the ground and two feet wide was built.
On the outside, I used extra bamboos inserted into the ground to create a fence and create a small courtyard. It feels pretty good.
Jin Wuhuan was a monk and became the main force in felling trees and cutting bamboo leaves. Just as Hutou passed by, he also joined in the transport. The two monks worked together, and the bamboo house was built very quickly. It was finished before dark. Completed.
They lit a fire to cook in the small courtyard of their new home and had a hearty meal. Jin Wuhuan suddenly slapped his head: "It's bad. It was the teacher who wanted to recruit Mr. Wu, but he was delayed..."
"What do you want me to do, Master?"
"Congratulations to Mr. Wu, the teacher is ready to teach Mr. Qingmiao Xuan Kung."
