Chapter 8 Observations

After Zhang Yi saluted the tea three times and bowed nine times, the Qingshan Taoist priest nodded and signaled that Zhang Yi could get up.

Zhang Yi got up and patted his pants and said, "Uncle, are you going to ......"

"What do you call me!?"

“..... Master!!! ”

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Master, when are you going to teach me this skill?"

"To learn skills, you must first endure hardships."

Zhang Yi patted his chest and said, "It's okay, come on." ”

Daoist Qingshan sighed and stood up, motioning for Zhang Yi to go out with him.

"Taoism has five precepts, one is not to kill, two is not to be addicted to alcohol, three is not to be wrong, four is not to steal, and five is not to commit adultery. There are also ten virtues and one filial piety to parents, two loyal to the monarch, three compassion for all things, four forbearance and tolerance, five admonitions to purify evil, six to harm oneself and save the poor, seven to release life and nourishment, plant all fruit forests, eight side wells, plant bridges, nine for the benefit of the people, ten to read the Three Treasures Sutra, and always offer incense and flowers, but according to the current way of the world, if you abide by these again, I am afraid that everyone will not even have bones left, so you don't have to stick to it, but the core idea must be remembered is to do more good deeds, don't ask about the itinerary. Also, our Taoist priests are human beings, not gods, but they have a little more ability than ordinary people! Daoist Qingshan taught Zhang Yi while walking. It's just that when the Qingshan Taoist priest said the last sentence, there was a scar on the corner of his face.

"In vain! Before learning the skill, you must first lay a good physical foundation, although your physical fitness is slightly better than your peers, but it is still not enough, so you must exercise your own body first. ”

"How do you exercise? Master! Zhang Yi asked eagerly on the side.

"See that pile of firewood?"

"En" Zhang Yi responded stupidly and sweetly.

"Very well, let's split them all!"

Nani!!! (ʘᗩʘ!!) Zhang Yi looked at the hill-high pyre and swallowed his saliva.

"It's not that you are told to finish the split today, I will give you three days, and you must finish the split after three days." After the Qingshan Taoist priest finished speaking, he didn't give Zhang Yi a chance to speak, and turned his head and left.

Zhang Yi stands alone on the edge of the pyre ( ̄_ ̄; It's messy in the wind.

Zhang Yi rolled up his sleeves, took down a piece of wood that was thicker than his thighs and put it on the wooden pier, picked up the axe and went down with an axe, only to split it a little bit, picked up the axe stuck in the wood and hit it back and forth on the wooden pier several times before barely splitting it. Unknowingly, after a morning of splitting, Zhang Yi found that he had only split a tenth of it.

Is this really here to learn the skill? How do you feel cheated, as if you have been pulled to be a strong man. (￣□￣； )

Zhang Yizheng doubted his life, and when he heard the Taoist priest of Qingshan calling him to eat, he threw the axe directly and ran to eat.

When he arrived at the dinner table, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes. Ah, it hurts~ Zhang Yi's tiger's mouth has cracked, and a trace of blood flows down the palm prints.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest of Qingshan sandwiched the food for Zhang Yi and said, "Eat slowly." Eat a good meal, I'll help you with the medicine. ”

Zhang Yi ate slowly, and found that the Qingshan Taoist priest was almost only vegetarian and did not eat meat, and he was also vigorously sandwiching meat into his bowl.

Zhang Yi looked at the bowl full of meat and said, "Master, didn't the Taoists say to eat vegetarian food, why do you keep letting me eat meat?" ”

"You are growing up, you have to exercise, you need to add more protein, of course, you can't just eat meat and vegetarian, you have to have balanced nutrition. Okay, after eating, continue chopping wood. Qingshan Taoist said unhurriedly.

"Oh~~~" (ó_ò. )

Chop...... Chop...... Split, Zhang Yi has been repeating this brainless action, there is only half a day before the time of three days, and in the past two and a half days, Zhang Yi has not known how many times his tiger's mouth has collapsed. But fortunately, there is a master, every time his tiger's mouth opens, he runs to find the master, at this time the master will first give himself some medicine and then take a yellow charm that I don't know what is drawn on it, and stick it directly on the tiger's mouth, and after a while, the tiger's mouth will not bleed or hurt. But even so, I didn't have time to complete the task that Master gave me.

Yes!!! Good gas, good gas, good gas! (#'dish ́)

At this time, the Qingshan Taoist priest came over, took the axe in Zhang Yi's hand and split it at the firewood, and in an instant, the firewood was simply split.

Zhang Yi looked at Qingshan Taoist priest with dissatisfaction and said, "Master, I know that you are old and powerful, so you don't need to show off like this. (-"-Fury)

Qingshan Taoist shook his head and said: "Strength is secondary, mainly the texture of the firewood, as long as you follow the texture of the firewood, it can be split easily." ”

As soon as Zhang Yi heard this, he picked up a new piece of firewood and looked at the difference carefully, and sure enough, he found that there was a texture on it, and remembered that there were a few times when it was easy to split wood before, and he thought it was a matter of the length of time that the firewood was placed.

At this time, the Qingshan Taoist priest handed over the axe and said, "Observe the texture carefully and follow the texture to split." ”

Zhang Yi took the axe, took a new piece of firewood and put it on the wooden pier, and after finding the texture, he tried to split it, and as soon as the axe went down, the firewood was already close to splitting.

"Yi'er, you remember, in the future, you will encounter some things that you have not encountered, first of all, remember to observe and prescribe the right medicine. Got it? Qingshan Taoist said to Zhang Yi earnestly.

"I see, Master."

"Well, then keep chopping!" Qingshan Taoist nodded with satisfaction.

After the Taoist priest of Qingshan left, Zhang Yi took the axe and chopped it again, and there was a method of splitting along the texture, and the remaining firewood was easily chopped.

At dinner, Taoist priest Qingshan said, "Starting tomorrow, I will take you to do morning classes, eat a good meal, rest early, and get up early." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yi responded vaguely while picking up the rice.

Before dawn the next day, Zhang Yi was once again pulled out of the bed by the Qingshan Taoist priest.

It's not that you're old who dares to chop wood, and you're very tired after three days of chopping, and I still have to sleep, and I have to sleep (#'Д ́)

"The plan of the day is in the morning, get dressed, wash, and I'll take you to the morning class." Daoist Qingshan directly ignored Zhang Yi's angry face.

When Zhang Yi was all done, the Qingshan Taoist priest took Zhang Yi to the stone pier of the compound and said to Zhang Yi: "Follow me, watch the instructions I give you to breathe!" After speaking, he faced east, sat cross-legged, with his feet facing the sky, palms of his hands up, index fingers and thumbs touching, naturally placed on his knees, and breathed slowly.

Zhang Yi followed the method of the Taoist priest of Qingshan, but his two feet just couldn't turn to the sky, so he finally pulled it over with his hands.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it's going to break, it's going to break, it's going to break (ó_ò. )

Zhang Yi was like this, gritting his teeth, following the instructions given by the Taoist priest of Qingshan, breathing while holding on. After the sun fully rose, the Qingshan Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and came down from the stone pier. Seeing this, Zhang Yi immediately liberated himself from this sitting posture and rubbed his feet vigorously.

"It's good to get used to it, come and do a set of movements with me in the back, or watch the breathing instructions I give you."

Zhang Yi rubbed his feet twice, jumped off the stone pier and stood next to the Qingshan Taoist priest, and followed. This set of movements is very slow, but there is a feeling of flowing water, "slowly inhale" and "slowly exhale".

Zhang Yi followed the instructions of the Qingshan Taoist priest, listened to the instructions of the Qingshan Taoist priest, and gradually felt that the soreness caused by the three days of chopping wood slowly disappeared!
