Seeing that Tang Ning didn't spit it out after drinking a sip of water, Mo Ming gave a thumbs up and praised: "Senior Brother Wang Qi, you are really good, no wonder Master will praise you in public when he sees you for the first time, it seems that you really have the potential to cultivate immortals, I haven't seen anyone who can not spit it out when they drink holy water for the first time." ”

Tang Ning naturally wouldn't say that he had actually drunk this kind of holy water before, but he had to admit that people who could drink this kind of water all year round were not mortals, in other words, he could even drink this kind of thing all year round, so what else could he not do......

After fetching the water, Tang Ning followed Mo Ming to get two sets of daily necessities such as clothes, shoes and socks, hats, towels, and finally two axes. At this time, Mo Ming explained on the side: "Senior Brother Wang Qi, according to the rules of our Taoist temple, all the registered disciples have to go to the back mountain every day to chop wood, and the master said that in this way, you can exercise your body and hone your state of mind at the same time, and only after these tests can you have the opportunity to become a real disciple and learn immortal arts!" ”

"How long does it take to chop firewood to become a disciple?" Tang Ning asked curiously.

Mo Ming shook his head and replied, "I don't know about this, but some senior brothers only cut firewood for two months and became disciples, and some have not succeeded in chopping for two years." ”

"How long have you been chopping, brother?"

Mo Ming sighed and said, "I've been chopping for a year, but fortunately, I've been in charge of receiving at the mountain gate for the past few months, so I don't have to chop wood." ”

Tang Ning said in his heart, you are likely to have been abandoned, but on the surface, he still comforted: "Master can hand over the responsibility of taking care of the mountain gate to senior brother, which shows that he values senior brother very much." ”

"I borrowed the words of my junior brother!" Mo Ming arched his hand.

At this time, Tang Ning's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he continued to ask: "By the way, Senior Brother Mo Ming, do those senior brothers who have become disciples still need to chop wood?" ”

"Of course they don't need to continue chopping wood, and we rarely get to see these senior brothers, it is said that the master urges them to cultivate very tightly every day, and only occasionally can we meet them, but we don't understand what they say, I think it's a very magical immortal spell!" Mo Ming replied with an envious face.

The next day, Tang Ning followed the senior brothers to the back mountain and cut firewood in a dense forest. In Downing's impression, generally speaking, the so-called chopping wood is actually collecting firewood, picking up those dead branches that fall off naturally or are blown off by the wind.

But these Taoist priests are really chopping wood, the kind of people who cut down a big tree, cut it into pieces and transport it back, and they are all working alone. This made Tang Ning feel very shocked, because this kind of big tree, even if two people use a big saw, it is estimated that they will have to pull it for a while, unless you use a chainsaw like a bald head. But these Mohai can be cut down in an hour by one person. This made Tang Ning wonder, could it be that the white flower snake grass water really had the effect of washing the muscles and cutting the marrow and transforming the physique?

Fortunately, Tang Ning is also a person with martial arts, although he has an axe in his hand, he is not slow to use the Ku Ding knife technique to cut down trees, but at this time he thought of another question, so he asked a Taoist priest named Mohai not far away: "Senior brother, do we come to this forest every day to cut wood?" ”

Mo Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then replied: "That's not it, we can only cut down a forest for a year, and we will change a forest after a year, but these are all designated by the master, we just need to follow the order." ”

"And how long have we been cutting down this wood?" Downing asked.

"More than two months!" Mo Hai replied casually.

"More than two months? So, why don't I see a single tree stump? Supposedly, if we had cut down trees here for two months, there would have been a lot of stumps even if the trees hadn't been cut down! Tang Ning asked curiously.

"This, that's the immortal method. Junior brother, you can remember the location of the tree you cut down today, and then come back tomorrow and you will understand! Mo Hai replied mysteriously.

Seeing that Mo Hai was reluctant to answer, Tang Ning didn't want to ask again, so he had to go back and continue to cut down trees, and then follow the army to transport firewood back, eat and sleep, but he always remembered this matter in his heart.

The next day, when Tang Ning came to the woods again, he was surprised to find that the big tree that he had just cut down yesterday had actually grown again, and it was as tall and thick as yesterday, which made him shocked, and he thought to himself, What's going on?

Seeing his confused look, Mo Hai, who explained to him yesterday, leaned over and said with a smile: "How is it, Senior Brother Wang Qi?" Isn't it amazing? ”

"It's—it's just amazing! If I hadn't marked it around here, I wouldn't have believed it was real! Senior Brother Mohai, what the hell is going on? Tang Ning asked puzzled.

"Didn't I tell you all yesterday, this is the method of the immortal family! According to Master, this forest is all imposing immortal power, so it will grow into a towering tree overnight, but there is also a limit to immortal power, a forest can only last for a year, and after a year, you have to change places. Mo Hai explained with a swaggering face.

"But why would Master waste his precious immortal power in such a place?" Downing asked.

"Then I don't know, you have to ask Master about this!" Mo Hai said casually.

Tang Ning naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask his master about such a thing, so he pondered it alone while chopping wood. Not to mention, after pondering for a while, it really made him figure out a problem, that is, he found that the kind of tree he was cutting seemed very strange, at least he had never seen this kind of tree, it looked a little like a red pine, but it was not exactly the same.

So he continued to ask Xiang Mohai: "Senior brother, what is the name of this tree we cut down?" ”

"Well, I really don't know about this, and Master has never said it." Mo Hai scratched his head and replied a little confused.

"Did we cut down this kind of tree a year ago?" Downing asked.

This time, Mo Hai nodded and replied, "That's right, it was this kind of tree that was cut down a year ago. It seems that this kind of tree has been cut down all along! ”

"Hey, that's interesting!" Tang Ning secretly said in his heart, it's a pity that he can't access the Internet here, or he should really find out what kind of tree this is.

But before Tang Ning could figure out the secret of this forest, Mo Ming, who had been familiar with him for the past few days, suddenly ran over to him and said, "Senior Brother Wang, you are really lucky, you just met a great good thing!" ”
