Chapter 4 The Old Man with a Wood Knife
"Yuebai, do you think my new clothes look good?"
"Yuebai, Dad still won't let me go down the mountain. Hmph, I hate my dad the most!"
"Yuebai, look at the best mulberry leaves I brought you. Hey, my xiaolongbao! Shut up! How can silkworms eat meat!"
......
"Night...... Ahh
It was the height of summer, and the harsh sunlight broke through the window and pierced the eyes of the newly awakened. The boy couldn't help but put his hand in front of him, so that his eyes, which had not yet adapted to the sun, eased it.
It seems like...... Something is wrong.
The boy was thinking about something when the door to the room suddenly opened.
It was a very simple wooden house, and there was not much in it, except for a bed, a table, and a few stools. It's a little simple, but it's exceptionally neat, and the desktop is even polished! At a glance, there is not a trace of dust to be seen.
Because it was an ordinary wooden door, the sound was very obvious, and the newly awakened teenager subconsciously looked over.
The door was opened by an old man who looked very old. The backbone is very bent, and the body looks a little thin. His face was wrinkled, and he coughed lightly from time to time. His eyes were small because of the wrinkles, but the boy felt a moment, a gaze that was so sharp that it sent chills down his spine.
It was just a moment so small that it seemed that even the memory would subconsciously forget it, and even the boy himself thought it was just a hallucination. Looking at this harmless old man again, the young man was even more convinced that it was just an illusion.
"Maybe it's been too stressful. ”
Although the old man looked old, his bent spine was not supported by crutches. With his hands behind his back, he looked like an ordinary old man that could be seen on the street.
"Are you awake?" he asked in a kind voice.
"Hmm. The boy nodded subconsciously and replied.
But then, the boy sensed that something was wrong. The head seems to be a little heavy, which is ......
This young man is naturally the moon white who was still a little white silkworm before he woke up.
Yuebai looked at his hands in disbelief, and then looked down at his body. I found that I had changed back to the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Yuebai's voice trembled in surprise: "Cangye is obviously dead, why?"
Seeing his reaction, the old man asked with some confusion, "What's the matter?"
Yuebai was stunned when she heard this.
"Did you eat his stuff? Is it the seven-colored fruit? Is that the old man planted?"
When Yuebai thought of this, she secretly said that it was not good in her heart. If he is caught stealing someone's things, then what awaits him next is naturally a terrible punishment.
Whipping, burning at the stake, or splitting the corpses of five horses? The more Yuebai thought about it, the more chilled her heart became.
"The fruit of transformation blooms once in 500 years, and bears fruit once in 500 years. Ripe shape-shifting fruits, even if eaten by ordinary beasts and poultry, can get the human body of thirteen or fourteen years old. This is the treasure in the eyes of the beasts and demons. Seeing that there are only the last thirty years left, but you!" The old man's voice suddenly changed from kindness to a little annoyed, and his eyes were full of anger as he looked at Yuebai.
Suddenly, Yuebai actually felt as if he was in a sea of fire, and there was an inexplicable burning sensation all over his body! It was as if two invisible flames shot out of the old man's eyes, scorching his body. It turned out that the soft bed was like a red-hot iron plate at this time. It's really burned at the stake!
Yuebai couldn't help but snort. He wanted to move, but found that he seemed to be firmly locked by some invisible force, and he couldn't move! It's not really burned at the stake, but the pain is on top of it!
"Ahh
"Humph!"
The old man snorted coldly. In an instant, I saw an invisible wave of qi surging out from the old man as the center! The entire room was like an eleventh-level storm of destruction in an instant! It was unimaginable that his thin body, which seemed to be weak and could not help the wind, could burst out with such terrifying power! This was completely beyond common sense!
Yue Bai was startled, only to feel a huge force attacking, as if he had suddenly been hit by a heavy hammer in the chest. Immediately, the whole person rushed up from the bed, slammed into the wooden wall, and then slowly slid down.
The terrifying impact suddenly rushed into Yuebai's body, and then Yuebai was black in front of him, and he fell softly again.
The old man looked at Yuebai, who had fainted again, and was silent for a long time before muttering to himself: "The unripe transformation fruit is not only useless, but also a highly poisonous poison in the world. A little silkworm demon, why...... Old friend, you said that the road of the old decay is not broken, and you brought the old decay here to live in seclusion. Now that the Transformation Fruit is gone, how can the old man do it? Or, do you want the old man to find someone to inherit? Or, demon?"
......
The sun was setting and a cloud of different colors. Yuebai, who woke up again, secretly poked his head out of the door, cautiously peeking outside the house.
At this time, he had already put on a cloth dress at the head of the bed. After the transformation, he looks very delicate. Maybe it's because the body is a white silkworm, and the skin is as white as snow, and if it is seen by other women, it will definitely be envious to death. Even if she is just wearing this kind of ordinary people's clothing, Yuebai still looks very delicate, giving people the feeling of a poor scholar.
The area around the hut was full of trees, except for the clearing, the fence, and some common furniture, and it still seemed to be in the forest. The old man stood quietly in place with two firewood knives in his hands. In front of him, there stood a thick tree trunk more than a man tall!
Just as Yuebai was still wondering if he was going to carry out a human activity called chopping wood, the old man suddenly moved. Yuebai only saw his right hand in a trance, and the thick tree trunk suddenly soared!
Then, I saw that his hands and the two firewood knives were blurred for a moment. That's not because there is a problem with Yuebai's eyes, but the old man's movements are so fast that Yuebai's eyes can't keep up!
Yuebai only saw the giant tree jumping and spinning in a burst of sword shadows, getting smaller and smaller. Sawdust splashed, and a half-man-high hill quickly piled up on the side!
Yuebai couldn't keep her mouth shut in surprise at the moment. This kind of knife technique can only be described as a divine skill!
"Wow, this old man, that's amazing!"
After a few efforts, it was a giant log, but now it has become a bed! Yes, it is a bed! There is no separation between the table top and the four legs, so it is so hard to split with two firewood knives, no! It is a bed carved!
The firewood knife is still a vulgar thing for chopping firewood at this time, and it is clearly a carving knife in the hands of a master craftsman. Yuebai even saw that on this bed, there were also exquisite patterns carved with flowers blooming and birds flying!
"So that there is a place to sleep at night. The old man muttered to himself silently.
"This, this, this ......"
Yuebai couldn't describe the shock in her heart at this moment. This...... Is this what a human being can do? Those two knives, are they really firewood knives?
Yuebai looked at the two knives again. There are a lot of tiny blunt cuts on the blade, and the blade also looks a little rusty, obviously a pair of old knives. This appearance really can't be associated with any divine weapon.
"Are you still watching? Why don't you quickly carry this bed in?" the old man suddenly looked back at Yuebai and said, and a few rays of light were reflected on the blade of the firewood knife not far away.
Yuebai's heart was violently raised, he actually didn't know when he had discovered it! Thinking of the previous painful experience, Yuebai couldn't help but shudder, the old man didn't even hear what he said before.
"What? stupid? I told you to carry you in, or do you kid want me to carry you in?"
"Ahh
Hearing the old man's last sentence, a chill that penetrated through the muscles and bones instantly surged into his heart! Yuebai immediately ran over in a panic and moved the "freshly baked" bed into it, for fear that the old man would be angry.
Yuebai firmly believes that if he really angers this old man, it will not be as simple as burning at the stake. The previous Giant Tree Eight Achievements were his example. Those two knives are used on themselves, so they can't be chopped into raw silkworm pieces?
Yuebai dragged the bed into the house. The body obtained after eating the Shape Fruit is obviously much stronger than the one obtained by applying the secret method, and it doesn't take much effort to hold a bed at all.
The old man slashed at the air beside him again. There was only a muffled click, and a smooth cut appeared on the trunk of a giant tree twenty meters high! Looking at the old man and the giant tree, there was a distance of more than ten meters. With a knife in the air, this giant tree with a diameter of two meters was cut off from the middle!
The tree then fell sideways, just in time to hit the wooden house. The wooden house was also extremely strong, and Yuebai in the house felt a huge earthquake in the whole house, and immediately fell down in embarrassment, but the house did not look like it was about to fall down except for the earthquake.
At this moment, there was a screeching sound of a sharp blade cutting outside the house.
"Could it be ... ”
Yuebai was about to run out of the door to take a look, but a smooth knife mark suddenly appeared on the wall on the side of the wooden house. Then, a wooden plank the size of a door panel with an extremely flat cut was cut from the wall and fell straight down.
Yuebai's movements were naturally stopped by this sudden change. When I turned my head again, I saw that outside the gap in the wall, I saw not a forest, but ...... Walls, wooden walls!
Was there a room next door?
I only heard the old man in the next room muttering to himself: "Jinshi wood is easy to use, and you can make a strong house just by relying on the hardness of the tree itself." As he spoke, the old man's foot lifted upward, and a door panel of almost the same shape and size as the notch closed tightly, and this was obviously the door. As a result, only a bewildered moon white was left in the room.
"This ...... Or is it people? Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"
"Why are you still stunned, what about the bed!"
"Ahh
