Chapter 137: Can’t Hide from Work, Summon Little Fox Demon
Ye Feng grabbed a stone and started chasing Fu Jinghong.
Fu Jinghong made an exaggerated expression and yelled, "Murder! Old Ye has gone crazy! Someone come quickly! Old Ye is killing people!"
Ye Feng chased to the gate of the ancestral temple and was stopped by several disciples wearing Yunhai Sect uniforms.
Among them was a little girl, very pretty and very familiar looking.
She was wearing a maroon dress with wide sleeves, had delicate features, and a pair of long legs that were no shorter than Yun Shuang'er's.
She has a high ponytail and a curvy figure. Although she is not as good as An Nian's 36D big girl, she is definitely not bad.
This beautiful girl is Miao Xiaorou.
Miao Xiaorou was just walking out of the ancestral hall when she saw Ye Feng holding a stone and being held by several brothers from the Zhikeyuan.
Fu Jinghong patted his chest and gasped for breath: "Crazy! Crazy! Old Ye is really crazy!"
Miao Xiaorou stepped forward and asked, "Second Brother, what's going on?"
Fu Jinghong said, "I don't know either. I just saw Lao Ye and went over to say hello to him, but he started saying something I couldn't understand at all, something about glass, Beibei Mountain, Wuliangye, and so on. Then he started chasing me... I think he must have gone crazy!"
Miao Xiaorou came to Ye Feng who was struggling hard, blinked her big eyes, and said, "Junior Brother Ye, are you really crazy? Do you still remember who I am?"
Ye Feng said, "Aren't you Senior Sister Miao Xiaorou?...Hurry up and tell these guys to let me go! I'm not crazy! This is a personal grudge between me and that non-mainstream...Second Senior Brother!"
Miao Xiaorou turned around and looked at Fu Jinghong, saying, "It's over, this kid is really crazy."
Ye Feng was stunned and said, "Aren't you Senior Sister Miao Xiaorou? I was collecting debts for you, which is why I ended up like this! You can't just cross the river and burn the bridge, then pretend you don't know me!"
Miao Xiaorou said: "I am Miao Xiaorou."
"That's it! How can you say I'm crazy? Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!"
"When you saw me before, your eyes lit up and you called me Xiao Rourou tenderly and silently. Now you call me Senior Sister Miao Xiaorou. Are you crazy?"
Ye Feng was dumbfounded.
Is it abnormal if you don't act like a bootlicker?
After struggling for a while, Ye Feng cursed and swore that he would never attack Fu Jinghong again, and then several disciples from the Zhikeyuan let Ye Feng go.
Ye Feng rubbed his aching arms and said, "Old Fu, Xiao Rourou, why did you bring so many people here today?"
Fu Jinghong smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every year at this time, the Zhikeyuan will send some offerings to the ancestors of all generations. We, the disciples of later generations, must enjoy wealth and prosperity, and we can't let the ancestors of the Yunhai Sect go hungry during the festival, right? The offerings in the ancestral hall have been sent in. These are prepared for the ancestors sleeping in the bamboo forest. I'll trouble you to deliver them to each ancestor!"
"Wait, I don't understand. You want me to deliver this pile of fruits and mooncakes taller than Xingluo Peak to all the ancestors in the bamboo forest by myself? Did you know there are over 4,000 tombs in the bamboo forest?"
Fu Jinghong said seriously, "Four thousand eight hundred and sixty-six."
Ye Feng jumped up and pointed at Fu Jinghong and shouted, "You knew there were so many things, and you still let me do it all by myself?"
Fu Jinghong smiled and said, "It used to be managed by the disciples of Zhikeyuan, so there are so many people here. But when I saw you, I remembered that Master punished you to guard the mausoleum. You are now the only person in charge of the Zhulin Ancestral Land, so of course you are doing it alone.
Old Ye, you don't know that the inner gate examination is about ten days away. In previous inner gate examinations, the Zhikeyuan was in charge. Now the Zhikeyuan is extremely busy, so I leave this to you. Remember to deliver all the offerings to each ancestor before noon tomorrow.
I'll come over to check tomorrow. If you miss one more ancestor who didn't get to eat the mooncake, you'll be fined one more month! Let's go... Let's go back!"
Fu Jinghong immediately asked twenty or thirty disciples from the Reception Hall to leave.
When these disciples found out that they didn't have to work anymore, they all smiled happily.
They all said to Ye Feng, "Thank you, Junior Brother Ye!"
"Fu Jinghong! I will definitely kill you! Not even the Jade Emperor can save you! I'm telling you!"
Watching this group of people flying away with smiles on their faces, Ye Feng stood in front of the ancestral temple and jumped up and down cursing.
Not long after flying, Miao Xiaorou slapped her head and said, "Oh, I forgot something."
Fu Jinghong asked, "Junior Sister, what's the matter?"
Miao Xiaorou said, "Some time ago, I heard from Junior Brother Xu Kai from the Discipline Academy that after Ye Feng was punished by the Grandmaster, he not only stopped working, but also cut down a lot of green pine and bamboo to build a big bamboo house! I thought I'd come here to teach him a lesson this time, but the scene was so chaotic just now that I forgot about it."
"Ah? Green pine and bamboo? No wonder I saw that bamboo building just now, and the bamboo house next to it is so special! This kid is really brave... Oh, never mind, he's already crazy, let's just let him go this time. He will be released soon, it won't be too late to teach him a lesson when he returns to the front mountain!"
At the entrance of the ancestral temple.
Supplies piled up like mountains.
The Yunhai Sect is wealthy and powerful, and has never been stingy with its founder.
There were more than a dozen large boxes of apples, seven or eight boxes of mooncakes, at least thirty large boxes of roast chickens, more than a dozen large boxes of empty plates, and a sack of fine Zen incense.
Ye Feng looked at these supplies, his head hung, as if he had lost his parents.
The old man guarding the temple walked out of the hall with a smirk on his face.
He said, "Boy, you've got plenty of work to do this time. You're about to leave here, and yet you still have to do all this work! Oh, and according to custom, when you place the offerings, you have to clean the tombstone and clear the weeds from the grave."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Master Master only asked me to come to the Bamboo Forest Ancestral Land to reflect on my mistakes. He didn't ask me to work, let alone place these sacrifices. I can't disobey Master Master's orders!"
The old man guarding the temple said, "Why, you want to be lazy? Boy, let me tell you, our Yunhai Sect respects teachers the most. If you don't place these offerings, I guarantee you won't be able to leave here for the next three to five years."
"Forehead……"
Ye Feng was dumbfounded.
He knew how terrifying the old man's identity was.
Since I am the fat master, when I see him, I have to respectfully call him "Ancestor".
With just one word from this old man, let alone three or five years, maybe I could be locked up here for three to five hundred years to take care of this old guy until his death.
"No, no, no, I was just complaining. It's just 4,866 ancestral tombs, no big deal. I'll be done soon. Well, old senior, I have to get busy now!"
Ye Feng turned the black silk bracelet on his wrist and put all the piles of supplies into the black silk bracelet.
When I returned to the bamboo house, I saw Sanzhier gnawing on the big bone that he hadn't finished eating last night.
He said angrily: "You glutton, stop eating and get to work!"
Sanzhier blinked his big eyes and watched Ye Feng curiously as he walked into the bamboo forest. He didn't understand why this lazy guy suddenly became diligent.
It dropped the big bone and followed after it, jumping and skipping.
"There are over 4,800 graves, each about three meters apart. Assuming it takes two minutes to clear the weeds, place the offerings, and light three incense sticks at each grave, that would take 9,700 minutes.
One hour and sixty minutes, without eating, drinking, resting or shitting, would take six or seven days, but tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.
So, what if I could compress the time required to examine each grave to one minute? That would take about three days.
If I can compress the time to less than thirty seconds, I can barely finish all the work before tomorrow night.
What if I were to be even more daring and compress the time spent on each grave to ten seconds? The required 48,000 seconds would be 800 minutes, less than 14 hours.
If I find another helper, I can finish it in seven hours. If I find two helpers, I can completely free my hands and feet and watch them work while I slack off.
Where can I find someone? Where is the person? Who would be so stupid as to help me with the work?
As Ye Feng muttered to himself, his eyes fell on Sanzhier on his shoulder.
With an expression of immense anticipation, he inquired, "Sanzhi'er, with your appetite, you can easily outlive five grown men. As the saying goes, the greater the appetite, the greater the responsibility. I'm not asking you to outlive five adults, just two. Just help me with the work, and I'll make you some simmered bones and beggar's chicken every day."
Sanzhier's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded his little head and squeaked.
Ye Feng was amused and said, "Do you know what I'm talking about?"
Take out three plates and place them in front of a tombstone, then take out four apples, a roast chicken, and four moon cakes and place them on the three plates in order.
He said, "Place these tributes in front of every tombstone in the bamboo forest, and then..."
He took out three thin incense sticks, lit them and placed them in front of the offerings.
"Then burn incense at each grave like this! Finally, clear the messy weeds on the graves! Everything must be done before noon tomorrow. It's Chenshi now, and you only have fourteen hours! Of course, if you feel you have more time, you can also wipe all the tombstones."
Sanzhier scratched his head with his little paws as if thinking about something. After a moment, he nodded and squeaked.
"You glutton! I've made it so clear, and you still want to take this job? It seems that the competition in your beast and demon world is extremely fierce, even more intense than I imagined. You dare to take this obviously impossible job? Go away, don't disturb me while I'm working. If I can't finish it by noon tomorrow, that bastard Fu Jinghong will really punish me by making me stay here to guard the mausoleum! I also want to participate in the inner sect fighting test in a dozen days!"
Sanzhier jumped down from Ye Feng's shoulder, then turned into a green hair and disappeared into the bamboo forest in a flash.
Ye Feng didn't care, thinking that the little guy was scared away.
It was only through actual practice that he realized that it was impossible for him to compress so much work into less than ten seconds.
It takes half a minute just to take out these things, then arrange the plates one by one, light the incense, and clear the weeds...
The whole process will take at least five minutes, so don’t even think about it.
Ye Feng arranged more than a dozen tombs. Looking at the time, he estimated that at least an hour had passed.
He sat on the ground depressed and sighed.
Just then, a squeaking commotion came from the north.
Ye Feng stood up immediately and saw countless gray-haired monkeys swinging on the bamboos in the dense forest. Bamboo leaves fell wherever the monkeys passed.
Ye Feng was furious and was about to scold, but he saw Sanzhier carrying a little girl in white clothes and walking towards him. Behind the little girl, there were seven or eight other little girls and various small animals.
Ye Feng widened his eyes and saw that those little girls looked only seven or eight years old, and the oldest one was only about eleven or twelve years old.
Each little girl is very pretty, with skin as white as snow, and wears clothes made of leaves.
And behind each little girl, there are two or three long white tails.
"What's going on? A fox demon?!" Ye Feng screamed, turned around and ran away.
