Chapter 7: Cultivation in the Water (Part II)
Night Feather didn't dare to be lazy, he found a relatively wide place under the cliff and stood upside down. When the monkeys saw it, they learned from him to do a handstand, and at once thousands of monkeys were in the valley one by one, which was also interesting.
"How can I stand up with only one finger, well, after I skillfully use my palms to stand upside down, I don't have to rush to take my time, the master said, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." Night Feather thought, and less than half an hour after the handstand, the monkeys were clamoring to go hunting.
"Although cultivation is important, I also have to eat a full stomach, otherwise if I have the strength to practice, just go with them, this group of monkeys can't beat wild boars." Night Feather thought, and then came up with a strange idea and moved forward upside down.
This is not difficult for him, since he was a child, he is lively and active, his body is more agile than an ape, plus a body of skill, although he is still very uncomfortable at first, but after half a day, he walks like flying.
In the past five days, he has been able to bounce around the mountains with one palm, but at most he can only achieve a total of six fingers of each thumb, index finger and middle finger of each hand, and it is almost impossible to stand upside down with one finger.
"Oh no, if the master comes back in a month and finds that I can't even do such a simple action, I will be disappointed, well, I have to find a way. Ye Yu thought, Master Xuan was not supervising by the side, but he took the initiative.
Command the monkey to tie his feet and neck with a rope, and then hang upside down to a tree, and let several strong monkeys pull the other end of the rope, gradually letting go of the rope.
Although the idea is good, where does the monkey have the patience, either hang him in the air with all his strength at once, or suddenly let go, so that his head suddenly hits the ground.
Half a day later, Night Feather's fingers almost broke after a few collisions, and the monkeys were also very bored, so they had to give up.
"I'm not going to hunt, I don't want to disappoint my master, I still want to fly!" Ye Yu said fiercely.
After this period of hunting, the monkeys learned to dig traps and traps, although because of their rough skills, they could only catch some small animals such as rabbits and goats, but they could also often fight tooth sacrifices.
"The master said that you can't go into the water, I'm strong in martial arts, where is there any danger? It must be good to stand upside down in the water, no matter what, anyway, the master is not around, I'll go to the water." Nightfeather thought.
It turned out that he had a special ability to breathe in water through the pores on his body, but Master Xuan didn't ask in detail, and Ye Yu thought that everyone was like this, so he didn't say anything.
He ran to a deep pool, took off the rough tiger skin on his body, threw the black knife aside, tied a large stone to his body with a rope, and walked into the water.
The water was gloomy, and he walked to a place about four or five feet deep, where a small platform protruded, and the bottom of the platform was dark and not deep, and he didn't know how deep the water was.
"It's enough here, it makes my ears hurt, wait for you to get used to it, and then take a look at the bottom of the water, cough, cultivating here is quieter than anywhere else, so I'll just practice here in the future." Ye Yu thought, and then stood upside down, it was really much easier in the water, and he leaned against the stone wall and stood upside down at once.
When ordinary people arrive here, they will be scared away just by seeing the gloomy water surface and the water snakes swimming around them from time to time. Ye Yu is bold, where can he take care of this, and he is glad that he has found a good place to cultivate.
The water was very quiet, he felt the flow of vitality in his body, felt the fluctuations of the water, and his heart, which usually took a long time to calm down, was now calm down all of a sudden.
Even in the water, carrying a big stone upside down with one finger on his back, it is very difficult, Ye Yu kept changing his fingers, concentrating on his fingertips, not noticing the passage of time at all, until he was hungry, he untied the big stone and put it on the platform.
"I'm coming tomorrow anyway, it's not good to carry this stone on my back all the time. By this time it was already dark, he thought to himself, and he groped his way out of the water, put on his tiger skin coat, and walked back triumphantly with his black knife.
The monkeys are not bad, he left a roasted rabbit for him, and he solved the rabbit by dividing it by two, but his stomach is still very hungry, I don't know why, his appetite has increased greatly recently, and he is practicing in the water today, and he is not sweating at all, and he is still more hungry than before.
It turns out that cultivating in the water is more physically demanding, how can Night Feather know this.
The group of monkeys saw that it was not enough for him to eat a rabbit alone, so they became excited one by one, pointing their fingers, meaning to say: Our prey is not much, you are not satisfied with what you have earned without work, there is no meat, only peaches, today is fine, and there will be no peaches in the future.
"I'm your king, and besides, I've shot down so many wild boars and killed so many bison before, isn't that enough?" said Night Feather dissatisfied.
After a long time together, the monkeys were not afraid of him, and when they heard him defend like this, they were even more excited, and some said that they couldn't remember clearly, and the past didn't count. Some said that everyone is a collective, if according to his statement, then the incompetent little monkey has never made a contribution, should he starve to death?
Thousands of monkeys tossed, and Night Feather had no choice but to say that he would bring some food back tomorrow, and those monkeys would not give up when they heard it.
"Today I saw a lot of swimming fish in the pool, the big ones are four or five feet long, and the small ones are about a foot long, and I should have brought some back. Ye Yu thought, he tossed and turned in the cave for a while, the more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, "Why don't you do it tonight, you can also make a night out, anyway, there are stars and moon in the sky, I can just touch it."
So he turned over and got up, took out the black knife, and woke up the four or five monkeys guarding the entrance of the cave, "I'll go and go back, don't make a fuss." He commanded.
Those monkeys were sleeping soundly, and they were suddenly woken up, and they were immediately angry, but when they saw that it was Ye Yu, they didn't dare to attack, and of course they didn't give him a good look, hummed a few times, and said: You can go, why do you want to alarm my old man.
"These monkeys, how can they disrespect me more and more. Ye Yu said curiously, it turned out that it was no wonder that he had been with this group of monkeys for a long time, and he never lost his temper, and the monkeys' fear of him disappeared day by day, so he naturally slowly regarded him as an ordinary member.
The evening breeze is blowing, blowing on the body is particularly comfortable, and every pore of Night Feather spreads out all over his body, feeling the aura between heaven and earth and the changes in the vitality in his body.
"When you breathe with heaven and earth, it is the unity of heaven and man, and it must be very comfortable. He thought as he walked, and soon reached the waterhole, took off his tiger skin coat, and jumped into the water naked with a knife.
It was dark all around, he pulled out his knife and condensed it in his hand, and the knife immediately flashed with blue light, shining on the surrounding swimming fish, "Hehe, a saint-level warrior is good, not to mention anything else, fishing at night can come in handy." He thought triumphantly.
The fish liked the light, and suddenly saw the light appear, and swam towards him one by one, Ye Yu used the scabbard of his left hand to knock on the head of the big fish, one by one, and knocked over three large herring fish five feet long in a blink of an eye, and the fish was slippery, and could barely hold it in the water.
"This knife is placed here, no one will take it anyway, I'll come and get it tomorrow. Ye Yu thought, he put the knife on the small platform where he cultivated during the day, and deliberately pressed it with a stone, and then dragged the three fish up cautiously.
"Haha, look at how smart I am, well, the master said that the night is quieter, and the cultivation effect is better, I'll come back after eating and spending the night, alas, this dress is worn and taken off, it's too troublesome, I'll put it here first." Nightfeather said to himself, and he found a stick to thread the three big fish, and walked back triumphantly.
When they returned to the cave, they woke up the five guarding monkeys, and as soon as they saw that Ye Yu had brought back three fish of such a size, the complaints in their hearts were immediately thrown out of the clouds, and they were busy one by one, taking out the fire preserved in the cave, and lighting a fire directly in the cave.
The monkeys cut the fish into pieces with rough stone knives, and without the help of Night Feather, the fragrant flesh soon spread out of the hole. At this time, it was raining again in the sky, so the aroma did not alarm the monkeys outside.
The first time I ate grilled fish, the taste was naturally extraordinary, the five monkeys ate one by one with bulging stomachs, they almost ate a fish of nearly 100 catties, the monkeys actually didn't eat much, most of them went into Ye Yu's stomach, and even he didn't know how his small belly could hold so much meat.
"Okay, let's divide the remaining two fish with everyone tomorrow, and I'll bring a few fish back every day in the future, which is enough." Night Feather said, the monkeys were already asleep, and they didn't know what he was talking about.
"My stomach is uncomfortable, I'll sleep first and then go to cultivate, it's raining outside, God must have asked me to lie down first. Night Feather casually made an excuse for herself, and then fell asleep.
He slept until dawn, and when he woke up, it was already dawn, and it was pouring rain outside, and lightning was thunderclapping in the sky.
"Oops, it's not good if the water goes up. Thinking of this problem, Ye Yu hurriedly got up and ran to the river to take a look, and sure enough, the flash flood broke out, and the tiger skin coat had been washed away by the water.
"Woohoo, my treasure sword!" Ye Yu screamed, ignoring the monstrous turbid waves, jumped directly into the pool and touched around, he couldn't see anything in the turbid water, where could he touch it, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.
