Chapter 20 Snowy Night

“A truly strong person can eat, move, and sleep anywhere.”

"Do you want to be strong or be useless?"

After saying these two sentences, Li Zhiyuan and Yin Shuang left the training ground.

It was obvious that the two senior brothers did not care much about the accommodation problem of these new disciples. They just threw these people into Longshou Mountain. It didn't matter even if these people really died in the cold wind.

Dying in the cold wind only proves your weakness.

The Vajra Sect does not need weaklings.

“Why…why!”

Some new disciples collapsed on the spot.

"Didn't you come here to learn from me? Wasn't it just a test? Why are you pushing me to death? On what grounds? On what grounds do they have?"

The collapsed disciple was screaming in pain, but no one cared about him at the moment.

Anyone who could stand the immense pressure from the two Vajra Warrior statues, enter the Vajra Gate, and spend an entire afternoon running through the entire Guolong Ridge, and who could persevere to this point, had a determination far beyond that of ordinary people.

So they simply don't bother to pay attention to such meaningless words.

They just want to prove that they are strong and qualified to stay in this Vajra Gate.

So they almost immediately rushed towards the axes piled on the shelves in the distance.

"At least start the fire first!"

This was the first thought that came to the disciples' minds.

The weather is cold, so of course we need to light a fire to keep warm. This is a very simple truth. Although the senior brothers have left now, at least they have left them an axe.

As for the wood used for burning... isn't it everywhere in this forest?

"We have to hurry! Otherwise we won't be able to get firewood if we're late!"

Zhu Youwen also quickly grabbed an axe and even gave one to Du Wuyi. But just when Zhu Youwen was about to hand the axe to Du Wuyi, he saw that Du Wuyi did not move at all.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Just burning fire may not be effective."

Thinking back to his previous hunting experience in the wilderness, Du Wuyi couldn't help but shook his head.

When the weather gets cold, it's almost an instinctive idea to warm yourself by the fire, especially when there is a pile of axes in front of you and a lot of wood waiting to be cut.

But based on Du Wuyi's own experience, if you simply light a fire, it will not be able to withstand much of the cold. After all, in the cold wind, the warmth brought by the bonfire is just a drop in the bucket.

"At least we need a place to shelter from the wind so we can spend the night... huh?"

At this moment, Du Wuyi suddenly saw that in the corner of the training ground, there were many new disciples gathered there.

Standing between them was the disciple named Liang Youdao. Du Wuyi still remembered that he was one of the few disciples who had entered the sect with some martial arts skills, and he was also one of the first to arrive at the Longshou Mountain training ground.

"Don't rush to collect firewood! Our energy is limited!"

Among the disciples, Liang Youdao raised his arms and shouted.

"Instead of everyone going out to collect firewood, why don't we all work together to build a shelter? I'll make some planks! Who of you will follow me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, four or five new disciples responded immediately, and then the group rushed directly to the pile of wood and began to process the wood and make planks.

It was at this time that the other new disciples came to their senses.

Yes, this seems to be the real intention of the senior brothers. Otherwise, there would be no need to leave them so much wood in addition to the axes.

"This is a test of us. Can we remain rational in a crisis?"

Many new disciples thought so, and they all felt that they had already understood the intentions of their senior brothers.

The opening meal was to let them learn to control themselves in the face of desire, and the long run afterwards was to see if they could persist in the harsh environment.

So, even in this situation where they were thrown into the deep mountains and forests, the two senior brothers were probably doing this for their own good.

"If there's no dormitory, build it yourself!"

These newly initiated disciples all had this thought in their minds. However, this workload was clearly not something that could be accomplished by one person. The axe in their hands was fine for chopping wood, but it wasn't a very useful tool for turning those neatly stacked logs into planks.

So in order to build a sheltered dormitory as quickly as possible, they quickly organized themselves into groups.

Only on Du Wuyi's side, there was only Zhu Youwen.

It’s not that no one approached Du Wuyi, but after seeing Du Wuyi’s face, these people turned around and left.

Just looking at the way he didn't even turn his head, it was as if he was avoiding the plague god.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youwen was speechless for a long time.

Obviously, among these new disciples, Du Wuyi's reputation is not very good. After all, before Du Wuyi even entered the sect, he had already blocked the door and killed a fellow disciple.

Everyone saw that scene with their own eyes. The beggar named Liu Sijiu had practiced the Red Sand Palm, but he was still stabbed in the throat by a stick.

Even though Du Wuyi later said that he acted out of personal vendetta, there were still many new disciples who did not hear it. They only knew that Du Wuyi had the blood of his fellow disciples on his hands before he even entered the sect.

"Um...brother."

Seeing that Du Wuyi still did not move, did not chop wood to make a fire, and had no intention of processing the wooden boards, Zhu Youwen, who had already been shivering all over from the cold wind, could no longer wait.

"If you have nothing else, I'll..."

"Go."

Du Wuyi waved his hand and remained standing there motionless.

Just looking at his absent-minded look, it seemed as if he was observing something carefully.

Zhu Youwen also looked in the direction Du Wuyi was looking, but over there was the flat ground of the training ground. Apart from the whistling cold wind, Zhu Youwen didn't feel anything.

So, Zhu Youwen, unable to bear the cold, finally left.

Du Wuyi, who stayed where he was, observed for a moment, then slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the ground.

On the seemingly flat ground, Du Wuyi actually felt faintly some traces of footprints.

These were not fresh footprints, but footprints left behind who knows how long ago. The footprints themselves were very shallow, but there were quite a few of them, and when they overlapped, they could actually be considered a path.

These footprints were obviously not left by these new disciples.

But think about it, Longshou Mountain is the training camp of the Vajra Sect, so they are definitely not the only ones coming here to train.

So, did the people who came here before, those previous batches of predecessors, also live in the wilderness?

"Go over and have a look!"

Following this secret path, Du Wuyi moved forward all the way, even leaving the empty training ground and going outside the training ground, deep into the mountains and forests.

The light from the training ground was getting farther and farther away, and it was getting darker and darker. This made Du Wu instinctively pick up the axe in his hand, ready to guard against possible danger at any time.

But at this moment, the outlines of several wooden houses appeared in Du Wuyi's sight.

There seemed to be six or seven wooden houses in total. Although they looked a bit crudely made, they still looked like houses. At least they were enough to block the wind. They were even better than the dilapidated temple where Du Wuyi had stayed.

“There’s actually such a place?”

Du Wuyi was overjoyed.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even look at these dilapidated houses, but for Du Wuyi right now, this is the best place to live he has found in recent times.

But at this moment, another person appeared in Du Wuyi's sight.

"My name is Guo Huaigu, nice to meet this fellow disciple."

The new disciple named Guo Huaigu first clasped his fist towards Du Wuyi.

Then, a pair of eyes narrowed.

"The area ahead is not within the training grounds. Why don't you go back first?"

 Please collect the new book and read it. Thank you.
