Chapter 109: Putting to the Test
When I woke up again, I found myself sleeping in a dark cave.
A cool breeze blew in from outside the entrance of the cave, which made me feel energetic at once, and I hurriedly sat up from the ground, only to find that my master Mo Chengwu was no longer in this cave.
Standing up from the ground, I shook my somewhat groggy head and walked towards the outside of the cave.
When I first left this cave, I found that there was a huge Taoist temple under the mountain, could it be that this Taoist temple was the Dragon and Tiger Sect of Maoshan Holy Land?
Outside the entrance of the cave, I still didn't see my master Mo Chengwu, and after waiting for her for a long time, I didn't see her come back, so I had to walk towards the Dragon and Tiger Sect at the bottom of the mountain alone.
On my way down the mountain, I passed a small path, and there was a sign on the side of the road indicating that the path led directly to the Dragon and Tiger Sect.
After walking for more than ten minutes, suddenly above my head came the voice of my master's Mo Cheng dance:
"Boy, where are you going?"
When I heard her voice, I hurriedly raised my head and looked up.
I found Mo Chengwu lying on her side on the branch of a big tree at this time, looking at me with a pair of drunken peach blossom eyes.
"Master, I'm about to go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect in front to find you."
Mo Chengwu looked at me and raised the corners of his eyebrows and said:
"Who told you to go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect? I brought you here so that you can follow me to this mountain to learn the Tao, not to go to the Dragon and Tiger Sect. ”
"Okay." I nodded in agreement.
After hearing this, Mo Chengwu nodded, looked at me condescendingly from the tree and said:
"Then you can start by climbing trees." She said, then her slender fingers pointed behind me:
"Do you see that tree, from now on you are not allowed to climb it with your hands but with your feet, I will give you three days, if you can't go up...... Get me down the hill right away in three days! Mo Chengwu said as he lay down on the tree and began to close his eyes, ignoring me no more.
I turned my head to look at the tree she was pointing to, and my heart suddenly cooled.
The main trunk of that tree must be five or six meters high, not to mention that I don't have to climb it with my hands, even if I use both hands and feet, I may not be able to climb it.
Seeing this task that I could barely accomplish in three days, I looked up at Mo Chengwu and asked:
"Master, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me? How could I possibly climb up without two hands in three days? ”
Mo Chengwu, who was closing his eyes on the tree, said to me:
"The weak will only make excuses when faced with difficulties, while the strong will use difficulties to prove their abilities."
After hearing my master's words, I was silent for a while, then turned my head to look at the big tree again, gritted my teeth, and walked towards it.
I need her help so much now, if I can get her to start teaching me Maoshan Dao, then I have to climb up without my hands in three days.
Every time I thought of the way Cai Wei looked at me like a pile of dust on the ground, and the word 'waste' coming out of her mouth, even Linglong was in their hands, I was desperate to make myself stronger.
In any case, I can't give up easily.
But how should I climb this big tree in front of me without using my hands?
I stood in front of the tree, looking up at it, but I couldn't think of any way to climb it with just my feet.
Suddenly I remembered that I had seen in the movie that the monks of Shaolin Temple could use light skills to step directly on the wall, but the problem also came that I didn't know how to do light work......
I won't return, but I always have to try, so thinking about this, I pushed my heart back for a while, and then ran towards the big tree.
Running near the tree, I jumped with my first foot on the trunk, and then the second stepped on it, but before I could take the third kick, I felt like I was about to fall, so I hurriedly withdrew my legs, landed on both feet, and stood firmly.
At this time, there was a light laugh from Mo Chengwu's side, and she said with a smile:
"Come on, young man, climbing trees this way will increase your male abilities."
After hearing these words from my master's mouth, Mo Chengwu, I immediately felt a heat in my ears, so I didn't speak, and continued to run towards the tree.
To be honest, Mo Chengwu's sentence 'climbing trees like this can increase your male ability' really made me more motivated.
True or not, this tree I have to climb.
No other way.
Because only by worshipping under her door and learning Maoshan Taoism will I be able to protect the people I care about around me from being hurt at all, as well as myself.
After repeated attempts and failures, it was not until I was sweating like rain and panting like an ox that I stopped for a while, sat on the ground and rested.
But fortunately, the effort is rewarded, and after my continuous practice, I can only step on the trunk of the tree for two steps at the beginning and now I can step on it for three steps.
In fact, there are some things that seem difficult to accomplish by ourselves, so we are all daunted and stop moving, but many things that seem difficult for us can be completed as long as we are willing to take the first step bravely and work hard.
'Everything is difficult only at the beginning' and 'God rewards hard work' are definitely not just comforting words.
After resting for a while, I got up from the grass again and ran briskly towards the tree.
……
At the end of the day, I had only one meal in between, and it wasn't until night fell that I sat down to rest.
This day almost exhausted me and lay down, my legs were numb, I had no strength at all, I sat on the ground panting, sweat soaked through my clothes, and my body was sticky and extremely uncomfortable.
The only consolation I can now take four steps in a row on the trunk of a tree, though.
It was at this time that Mo Chengwu jumped down from the tree, walked up to me and said to me with a smile:
"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
"Master, I'm ...... Can I take an extra two minutes of rest? I wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked at her and asked, I had just sat down and hadn't recovered yet.
Mo Chengwu looked at me and said:
"Yes, as long as you can find me in this mountain, you can continue to sit here and rest." She said as she turned and walked briskly forward.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and get up from the ground and chase after Mo Chengwu.
She walked with me for more than ten minutes before stopping in front of a small stream.
"Master? We're eating here? I looked at Mo Chengwu and asked.
Mo Chengwu made a silent movement, and then she walked to the front of the stream, and then took out a few silver needles from her body, seeing that she was looking for a good time, she shook her hand, and the silver needles suddenly shot into the stream.
Then several crucian carp the size of a palm floated up from the bottom of the water.
After seeing Mo Chengwu's casual flick just now, I was dumbfounded, how long did she practice this trick before she reached the peak like today?
"You go and pick up the fish, and we'll bake and eat it."
When I heard this, I hurriedly went down with my slippers and picked up the crucian carp on the shore.
"You go pick up some more dry firewood, and I'll light a campfire."
I hurriedly did so.
……
The bonfire was lit, and Mo Chengwu took some green leaves from somewhere, wrapped the cleaned crucian carp, and then put them on a wooden stick soaked in water and handed it to me to roast.
"Bake on low heat for about 40 minutes, don't roast too much." Mo Chengwu looked at me and asked.
"Well, by the way, Master, you often live alone in the deep mountains and wild forests?" I looked at Mo Chengwu and asked curiously.
Mo Chengwu, who was watching the bonfire, heard my words, looked at the bonfire and said:
"No, I've got it with me." As she spoke, she took out a bottle of liquor from her bag, opened the lid, and took a big sip.
"Master, you drink less wine, drinking too much wine will hurt your body." I watched Mo Chengwu persuade.
After Mo Chengwu heard my words, he smiled in a low voice and said:
"It's better to hurt your body than to be sad, how can the pain in your body compare to the ...... in your heart?"
I don't know the true meaning of her words, but I can guess how much she must have been hurt by others before, and it hurt so much that she now borrows alcohol every day to kill her sorrows.
"Master, have you ever been hurt before?" I asked.
Mo Chengwu glanced at me and asked:
"Is there anyone in this world who hasn't been hurt?"
Her words immediately reminded me of my ex-girlfriend Cai Wei, I love her so much, but she hurt me completely.
Really, I can't let go of it all until now, every time I think about it, it feels like there are long needles pricking in my heart, and I can't breathe in pain.
There is nothing saddder in the world than being betrayed and hurt by the person you love and trust the most.
