"If you want to be strong, you have to endure hardships. You can't even clamp a bean, can you?" said the old man as he picked up the stone teacup in his hand and took a sip of disdain.

"I can do it!" Yuebai immediately replied firmly, "No matter how difficult and tiring it is, as long as I can become stronger, I am willing!"

"Whether you can become stronger or not has nothing to do with whether you shout loudly or not. If you want the old decay to teach you, you must first worship the old decay as a teacher. ”

Yuebai did not hesitate, and immediately knelt down on one knee.

"I've seen ......"

But in the middle of his sentence, Elder Dome reached under his arm and stopped him.

"My apprentice is not just a good apprentice. ”

With that, the old man raised his hand and pointed to the two firewood knives not far away. Immediately, the two hatchets shook violently by some invisible force, and then they actually flew out of the wooden stake! The two hatchets spun at high speed in the air like flying knives, and flew straight towards the dome. It was as if there was an invisible thread between the two, and at this time, the Elder seemed to pull this thread violently.

However, the old man's hand never moved. Just like that, the firewood knife flew over as if it had a spirit, and some invisible thread was naturally nonsense.

Yue Bai watched in surprise as the two firewood knives suddenly stopped in the hands of the old man, and couldn't help but snort lightly.

"If you can cut down that tree with these two knives, the old man will take you as an apprentice. If you can't do it, don't think about getting stronger, and be a mortal demon honestly. As he spoke, Qiong Lao's arm was raised lightly, and his palm was flipped, and two old firewood knives were thrown towards Yuebai. Yuebai naturally caught it in a hurry.

"Cutting down trees?"

The Dome pointed to a tree outside the fence. The tree was not very large, no more than seven or eight meters high, and the thickness of the trunk was enough for two people to surround it. If there is an axe, I am afraid it will not take half an hour to cut it down. However, all that Yuebai had in his hands were two old firewood knives. It is naturally handy to use it to chop wood, but it is necessary to cut down trees...... It's all wood, but there's a big difference.

Yuebai looked at the firewood knife in his hand, and when he looked at the tree, he could only smile bitterly. It's not a lot of difficulty.

Qiong Lao added: "Remember, not one, but two, you know the meaning of old decay." ”

Yue Bai was just thinking about whether it would be easier to cut with a knife in both hands, but Qiong Lao's words immediately cut off his lazy thoughts. Holding two knives to cut down this tree, although it is an extra knife, the strength of one hand is not half a little different from the combined force of both hands. And it is not easy to make up for the shortcomings of this one-handed strength with double knives. This is undoubtedly extremely demanding in the use of strength and the coordination of both hands.

However, Yuebai only hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly clenched the two firewood knives in his hand and said, "Isn't it just cutting down trees?

Hearing the "stinky old man", Qiong Lao was unexpectedly not angry this time, but the corners of his mouth were with a malicious smile. If Yuebai notices it, he will definitely feel a chill to the bone.

"Yikes!"

Yuebai screamed and slashed at it, and then there was a huge sound of gold and iron clashing! The tree was still standing there, but the knife flew straight out!

"Ahh

Yuebai's screams immediately erupted, and his left hand was clenched on his right arm, and his right arm was actually trembling incessantly! The knife flew far away, and disappeared into the trees in the distance, but only a shallow white mark was left on the trunk!

"What the hell is this!

Yuebai scolded. He had used all his strength with the previous knife. I wanted to make a contribution with one blow, but who would have thought that the tree would be fine, but the knife was gone, and even his arm was numb and trembling from the shock, and he didn't listen to his own call for a while. The severe pain kept stimulating his nerves, and cold sweat was already running down his forehead at this time!

"Hahaha, stinky boy, the trees in this ten miles radius are all gold, stone and wood, and the texture is hard, not inferior to ordinary gold and iron. I advise you to give up as soon as possible!" said with a wicked smile, "You must have something to do when you become stronger, right? ”

The voice of the old man seemed to have some kind of magical power, and it only reached the heart of the moon. Yuebai couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

"yes. It's hard to escape, and as long as you don't do anything, you can still live well. There is no need to cut down this iron-beaten tree, there is no need to risk your life to take revenge, and there is no need to ....."

Suddenly, Yuebai felt a pain in her chest, and her decadent thoughts suddenly became disorganized.

"No, no! Something must be wrong!"

The sound of the night seemed to appear in Yuebai's ears again.

"If there is an afterlife...... I will be with you. ”

All the past and night, as well as everything experienced in the forest, suddenly came to mind, and the weak illusions of the so-called hermit were shattered into a mirror in an instant!

The five fingers of Yuebai's right hand clasped his forehead, lowered his head slightly, and then closed his eyes. His eyelids crumbled tightly, and even the skin around him wrinkled slightly. He's thinking about something, he's struggling with something. That is the confusion and decadence in the heart, that is the enemy that will stop you from moving forward and must be destroyed!

Elder Qiong looked at Yuebai's somewhat pained look, and did not continue to speak. He had used some small means against Yuebai before, which aroused the decadent desire in his heart. But if Yuebai really wants to step out of this forest, then she must have enough consciousness before that. Once he goes on, he will never be able to stop his consciousness! All this can only be done by himself. If you can't even pass this level, then stepping into this troubled world is a dead end.

After struggling inwardly for more than ten seconds, Yuebai opened her eyes again. His gaze was no longer wandering, he knew what he had to do, what he had to do!

"Hermit, Happy, Old, I won't stay here forever. I have what I have to do, I have what I want to protect, I have enemies I want to get revenge on!

Qiong Lao's pupils contracted suddenly. At this moment, Yuebai's back walking slowly was somewhat similar to when he was young. The old man also had a youthful and vigorous time, and he also had a full of pride and ambition! But with the baptism of the years, these are gone, and all that remains is a compromise with reality.

Yuebai's hand reached out to the bushes, and when he stretched it out again, the wood knife was already firmly in his hand.

"Elder Qiong, I hope you don't say that kind of thing again, don't let me look down on you! If you can so lightly use this knife to cut out such a wooden bed, or even a wooden house, how can I not do it just by cutting it down!"

With that, Yuebai rushed to the tree again. As if it was not a tree, but an enemy with whom he had a deep blood vendetta! The blade collided violently with the trunk of the tree, emitting bursts of penetrating gold and iron, piercing as if it were about to penetrate people's eardrums!

The tiger's mouths on both hands of Yuebai were shocked and cracked and bleeding. As soon as the tiger's mouth cracked, the knife naturally became unstable, but he still did not give up. Even if he could only exert five points of strength in his hand, even if every slash was extremely painful, even if he could only leave extremely shallow white marks on the trunk, he still did not stop his movements.

The firewood knife flew again and again, and Yuebai picked it up again and again. He is now simply not a man, but a tireless machine!

"Yuebai!

I don't know if it was the unbearable pain that made Yuebai hallucinate, he actually seemed to hear the sound of the night! There was a faint cry in that voice!

"No, that's not enough!

Yuebai didn't find out that he was actually a very persistent person in some aspects, and he could even be said to be stubborn. As long as he has his eyes on a certain goal, a terrible obsession will appear in his heart, and at such a time, he will forget everything else, fatigue, pain, time!

Yuebai's sentence "Don't let me look down on you" was deeply rooted in the heart of the old man. Qiong Lao stretched out his palm, opened and closed, and felt the rough hardness coming from his palm. His eyes looked at his dry, wrinkled palms, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"How long have you been hiding here?100 years?200 years?Have you not lived long enough?Are you still going to run away at such an age?" muttered the Elder Dome.

Looking up at Yuebai again, he was still waving his twin knives with his teeth and claws, seemingly slashing at the trunk of the tree in vain. The ping-pong is huge, but the tree is motionless.

The power of Yuebai is like falling into a black hole, and it can't stir up the slightest ripple. Not even half of the leaves on the tree have fallen.

Elder Qiong knew that if Yuebai continued like this, even if he cut it for another ten years, he would definitely not be able to cut down this tree. In this world, there are many things that can't be done by hard work alone.

However, hard work is always indispensable.

Since you don't want to escape, let the old man see how far you can go!

"Stinky boy, listen well! Hold the sword and rise, your heart will be as usual, and there will be no ups and downs。。。。。。 ”

The voice of the old man was not loud, but it seemed to have magical power, and it pierced deep into Yuebai's brain, as if it was about to be engraved in it. This sentence is all jerky and difficult to understand, but it seems to hide infinite meaning.

Yuebai, who was filled with obsession in his whole mind, suddenly appeared a clear sight. Because of this clarity, Yuebai unconsciously engraved all what Qiong Lao said in his heart. And this point of clarity was not born by Yuebai himself, but was guided! The extraordinariness of the things that the old man thought about can be seen.

Listen and listen, Yuebai's sword technique has changed invisibly. He could clearly feel that the slashing power was more than doubled with what seemed to be the same action as before!

Not only that, but there was something invisible in the surrounding space that was drilling into Yuebai's body, which actually made his body gradually heat up!

This feeling is itchy, but there is an indescribable comfort!

As a result, Yuebai's knife became faster and faster. Although it can still only leave white marks on the trunk, it is not as embarrassing as before, and the phenomenon of the firewood knife coming out of his hand has never appeared again. Although each of his knives is useless, it is more stable than the other, and every knife is more ruthless!

Just after Qiong Lao finished saying the last word, the reincarnation mirror suddenly reacted! Qiong Lao saw that Yuebai's knife speed was getting faster and faster, and it actually increased tenfold in an instant!

"What's going on? Enlightenment? No, the space around him isn't quite right. This is, time ...... It's distorted!How is this possible!"

Elder Qiong couldn't believe his eyes. Time has always been an ethereal existence, and no matter how superb the sword skills of the old man are, it is impossible to have the slightest impact on time. But now, the distorted time was so really placed in front of his eyes! This is the power of the ancient gods, even if it is just a fragment of the ancient artifact, it still has this terrifying power!

"It was expected to take forty years, but if he had this strength, it would only take four or five years for him to become a teacher. ”

......

I don't know how long it took, Yuebai's movements stopped. The body was still in a chopping position, but it stopped in mid-air and fell asleep.
