Chapter 30: Devil's Training
Half a year later, Ling Feng was already able to pick up a flat load of water and walk like flying, and twenty miles of mountain road, two tanks of water was no longer a difficulty for him. At this time, the old man Scarface also asked for him, two jars of water became four jars of water, and he was not allowed to pick it during the day, and this water had to be picked at night. Ling Feng knew that the protest was ineffective, so he had to continue to grit his teeth and insist on doing it, otherwise the work of half a year would be in vain. However, the biggest difficulty for Ling Feng was not the doubling of the workload, but the fact that there were no street lights at night in that era. It's good to encounter a sunny day, and you can use the faint light of the stars to illuminate, but if you encounter a cloudy day, the sky is dark, and you can only grope forward, and you can't raise the speed at all. In this way, Ling Feng walked back and forth between the mountains in the night for another half a year, and later, Ling Feng not only became stronger and stronger, but his strength also increased exponentially, and most importantly, his senses had changed strangely, with a sensitivity similar to that of a beast, and he could recognize things at night. Only at this moment did Ling Feng understand that the old man Scarface was all for his good and was laying the foundation for him to learn martial arts.
On this day, the old man with Scarface saw that Ling Feng had almost finished practicing, so he said to Ling Feng: "Boy, I didn't see that you are quite able to endure hardships, you don't need to pick up the water, find you some easy work." ”
At this time, Ling Feng was already full of confidence in the old man Scarface, and he also knew that every day he was living now was getting closer to his dream of learning martial arts, and said happily: "Uncle Gu, you can say anything." ”
The old man led Ling Feng into an empty room and pointed to the ground. Ling Feng saw that there were two large iron basins on the ground, and in the basins were clumps of silky leather strips. The leather strips had been soaked in glue, and now they were all stuck together. I heard the old man Scarface say: "You won't have to run back and forth in the future, and you will untie these leather strips here one by one every day." I'm useful for this stuff. Ling Feng immediately responded, and began to unleash the strips. However, this is easier said than done. The most important thing is that the old man Scarface said that he can only solve it by hand, and cannot use other tools.
It took a whole month for Ling Feng to finally untie the two pots of leather strips. Looking at Ling Feng's hand again, it was already unrecognizable, red and swollen, especially his thumb and index finger, all of which were broken. Ten fingers and even his heart, Ling Feng couldn't sleep at night when he was in pain. But Ling Feng's ruthlessness came up again, and he said in his heart: My finger is broken, and I will solve it too! In order to learn martial arts, this pain is nothing.
As soon as the old man saw Ling Feng's hand, he brought him a special potion to wash his hands. This potion is also a special medicine, and after washing, the pain in the hands is immediately reduced, and the swelling is gone. The old man with Scarface brought Ling Feng two more pots of leather strips, and Ling Feng continued to untie them. When Ling Feng finished unraveling, his hand was worn out again. Scarface washed his hands with more potion. In this way, after unraveling and washing, Ling Feng untied the pimps for more than half a year. Later, Ling Feng unraveled this thing again, effortlessly, he opened it as soon as he pulled it, and he could unravel two large pots in half a day.
After the pimp was untied, the old man Scarface asked Ling Feng to chop wood again. The requirement is that each firewood must be the same size. This job was relatively easy for Ling Feng, mainly to test his eyesight and hand strength, both of which he had already practiced before. But there is still a long way to go before the old man meets the requirements of the old man Scarface. In this way, Ling Feng split Chai He for another year.
Time is like water, and Ling Feng has spent three years in the temple. Looking at the current Ling Feng, it is very different from the hairy young man when he first came. The muscles on his body are strong and solid, his body shape has become more perfect, his skin has become darker and shinier, and the whole person looks full of explosive power. His eyes brightened, his temples bulged, and he spoke with a sense of neutrality.
In the past three years, except for half a year of studying, Ling Feng has lived an almost isolated life, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by the old man Scarface, the remaining time is only enough to eat and sleep, and the person who brought him food has also changed from Huiming to the old man Scarface. In the past three years, the old monk has not been in the temple for most of the year, and most of the time after returning to the temple is also meditating and participating in meditation, basically not meeting Ling Feng much, and saying very little. The two little monks, Huijing and Huiming, also grew up, and according to Kong's instructions, they concentrated on worshipping the Buddha, and they no longer had any intersection with Ling Feng. Therefore, Ling Feng almost regarded the old man Scarface as his only relative. Although the old man Scarface was still as cold and stern as ever towards him, Ling Feng found that there seemed to be more warmth in the eyes of the old man Scarface looking at him, which may be because people have been getting along with each other for a long time.
On this day and night, three people came from outside the temple. When they came to the temple gate, one of them looked up at the words on the temple door and said to the other two: "This is it, the surname Gu is here!" Damn, clean Zen forest! He'll be hiding, and the three of us have been busy for so long. ”
The man who spoke was a fat man in a night suit with a long bag in his hand. Although standing there casually, it is like a high mountain, which makes people feel that there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.
The other said impatiently: "I finally found it, don't complain, call him out." "This man is also dressed as a night walker, with a double halberd on his back, and a fierce face.
The man who had not spoken, standing motionless in front of the temple like a javelin, as if the statue of the god in the temple had been removed, with two spears, one long and one short, stuck in his back. Combined, these two guns can become a spear of two feet and two feet, unpredictable and invincible.
At this time, the fat man in the night suit shouted to the inside: "Gu Tianyue! If someone is coming, don't you come out to see each other? ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man Scarface had already pushed open the useless broken door of the temple, stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and looked at the three people coldly.
The fat man saw the old man with Scarface, and said with a smile on his face: "Gu Tianyue, you are too uninteresting, so you hid here without saying a word." If you hadn't shown up in Hangzhou three years ago, we wouldn't have found this place! ”
Ling Feng's senses have improved several times now, and he heard someone talking in the courtyard in his dream, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the courtyard. I just heard the fat man's words. Only then did Ling Feng know the name of the old man Scarface, and when he heard that the old man had shown his traces in Hangzhou three years ago, he said in his heart: Uncle Gu must have been discovered by them when he was saving me, and it seems that the enemy came to the door. I don't know if he can beat him? These people seem to be masters, but unfortunately I don't know martial arts, and I can't help much. Ling Feng couldn't help but worry about the old man Scarface.
