Chapter 2 Yuan Lao Dao in the Zongsheng Palace

The spring in Zhongnan Mountain is still a little wet and cold, the sun just came out, Shi Lei, who didn't even have a bed quilt, couldn't bear it, so he quickly got up, warmed his body by the sun, and tried to fill his belly by the way.

As before, there was another weed feast to stuff into the stomach first, but this time it was a spice for some different flavors, and then a pot of warm fish soup to ward off the cold.

Shi Lei, who became full of vitality again, went out of the house with a big axe and went into the woods. After just two meals of weeds, he couldn't stand it, and Shi Lei was eager to get some food for people to eat and improve his sense of happiness.

Standing in front of a big tree as thick as a bowl, Shi Lei pulled out his stance and slashed down at the selected position. Although he couldn't even chop small wooden blocks well in the past, he now has this confidence, as long as he starts in this position, at this angle, this axe will definitely be able to break this big tree in two.

The axe flashed as if it had eyes, and it flashed precisely according to Shi Lei's assumption, and then Shi Lei stretched out a finger and poked it lightly at the trunk, and the big tree fell down like a jade pillar pushing the golden mountain.

This axe can be said to be fast and ruthless, I am afraid that if it is an expert who uses an axe, it will be done to this extent at most, and it is unknown whether it can be broken with an axe like Shi Lei.

Not only is there a subtle control of the axe, but more importantly, there must be enough understanding of the big tree, where its weaknesses are, and what the internal texture is, all of which must have an extraordinary understanding to achieve the effect of this blow.

Shi Lei was also very satisfied with his hand, and even couldn't believe that this was really done by himself, but thinking that this was just the magic brought by the primary authority of the system, and he would definitely be able to do more and more magical things in the future, Shi Lei calmed down a little more.

After simply tidying up the lower branches, Shi Lei began to finish the trunk according to the specifications required by the Zongsheng Palace.

With an axe, there will always be a piece of firewood that will be stripped out as Shi Lei envisioned, and then thrown by him casually, and slowly stacked into piles of firewood that have been carefully organized.

At this time, if there are outsiders, you will find that Shi Lei's action seems to have some kind of special rhythm, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Although Shi Lei only has an axe in his hand, the efficiency is the same as a full set of automated assembly lines, and the trunk is quickly divided.

Under the concoction, Shi Lei unconsciously completed his goal, and looked at the pyre with satisfaction, Shi Lei looked up to find the direction of the sun to determine the time.

"Well, it's noon......" Shi Lei muttered as he looked at the sun overhead in disbelief.

The time of immersion in work does pass quickly, and more importantly, with this body, it is really beyond Shi Lei's expectations to be able to chop firewood for several hours without stopping.

If the predecessor had this physical strength, he would not have been starved to death. It seems that the benefits brought by the system are not only familiar with plants, but also bring a lot of benefits to one's body.

With the rest of the wood to make a delicate back frame out, Shi Lei carefully sorted out all the firewood and put it on, by the way, he also wanted to test where his new physical strength limit was, but he still had the strength to finish the work, which made Shi Lei even more surprised.

When Shi Lei carried all the firewood on his back and went to check all the traps before going home, but he still didn't feel very tired, he really couldn't help the joy and excitement.

At any time, a good body is obviously the best capital, with a good body, the current poverty is only temporary, and there is always a way to live a good life.

There is such good news, even if you eat the poor weeds and fish soup in your mouth, even if the wet and cold mountain wind continues to hit Shi Lei through the cracks of the grass house, and occasionally brings some ghost crying and howling, it has not affected his fiery heart.

The next day, Shi Lei got up early in the morning, carefully checked the firewood on the back frame and did not show any moisture, then carefully extinguished the fire in the house, and had breakfast in a slippery manner, and then planned to set off.

Although he has never gone to Zongsheng Palace to sell firewood, his predecessor was a relatively devout believer, and he always went to Zongsheng Palace to worship after a while, so he is very familiar with this road.

Although the mountain road was difficult, it still couldn't stop the eagerness in Shi Lei's heart, and when he arrived at the Zongsheng Palace, the other woodcutters had just arrived.

The person in charge of buying firewood was a kind middle-aged Taoist priest, although the woodcutters were all old faces, he was still carefully checking the firewood, and when he saw Shi Lei carrying the mountain-like firewood on his back, he was a little surprised, so he nodded with a smile and continued his work, of course, he didn't let go of Shi Lei's firewood.

I saw that Shi Lei's firewood was extremely uniform in length, all of them seemed to be carved out of a mold, and the surface was also very smooth, and there was not a trace of wood thorns in sight, as if a carpenter had carefully processed them one by one, which really made people more satisfied.

"I'll use this little brother's firewood today, I think everyone should have no objections, right?" The middle-aged Taoist priest pointed at Shi Lei and said to the others, seeing that everyone else had no opinion, he nodded at Shi Lei with a smile.

"I'm tired of this little brother, come with the poor." After the middle-aged Taoist priest finished speaking, he walked into the courtyard first, and Shi Lei hurriedly carried firewood on his back and followed.

"I didn't expect this little brother to be a fine person." A middle-aged man sighed.

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen firewood chop so neatly, just like a carpenter has specially cleaned up. It's not unjust to lose this trip. Another woodcutter, who looked not too old, also sighed.

"I just don't know how long it takes this little guy to make so many good firewood? If this is good every day, we should go somewhere else to find a buyer.

Ay...... It's hard to find a good patron like Zongsheng Palace. The last woodcutter got the point.

Originally, it was just a few of them competing, and the level of each other was about the same, and the middle-aged Taoist priest was also kind-hearted, interested in taking care of everyone, and would pick the best one to buy every day, and also maintained a balance.

Now that a young man has suddenly come out, he is much better than them, although they are a little distressed that they have lost this good deal, but they have to admire the level of others, so it is inevitable that there will be some entanglements in their hearts.

"What do you want as a reward, silk cloth, copper coins, or grain?" The middle-aged Taoist priest asked in a harmonious voice.

"I choose food." Shi Lei replied without hesitation. As far as he lives, it takes a lot of trouble to get the money and spend it, and the food is reliable, which is what he needs most at the moment.

"Wait a little bit, and go get it." The middle-aged Taoist priest seems to like to do it himself, so Shi Lei's impression of this person is even better.

"There's a chief of labor."

When Shi Lei was looking around at the surrounding buildings and scenery, an old Taoist priest in good spirits walked over, this full of silver threads and long white eyebrows, but his body was very light, and he looked a little bit like a fairy wind and bones.

"Good way." Shi Lei hurriedly avoided to the side and bowed. In any case, in the face of such an elder, the necessary courtesy is certainly indispensable.

"Huh! Interesting, interesting, the little doll must have experienced something very interesting. The old Taoist priest walked in front of Shi Lei but stopped, and looked at Shi Lei carefully, making Shi Lei feel like he had seen through all the secrets at a glance, and he couldn't help but be a little vigilant.

"Uncle Yuan." The middle-aged Taoist priest happened to come out and hurriedly went to the old Taoist priest to give a salute.

"Yo, it's Xiao Chunfeng." The old Taoist priest replied with a smile, almost making Shi Lei next to him laugh, and the middle-aged Taoist priest also looked a little embarrassed.

"I almost forgot to get down to business. Let's go. The old Taoist priest didn't dwell too much, looked at Shi Lei again, nodded, shook his head again, walked away, and soon disappeared from Shi Lei's sight.

At this age, his legs and feet are as sharp as his current self, so Shi Lei can't help but guess whether this old Taoist priest will be the legendary master.

After experiencing things like crossing and system possession, Shi Lei inevitably had more awe of some mysterious things.
