The dinner bell rang, Qiu Ming walked out of the door and knocked on the door of the old ~ uh~ Wang Shouzhong next door: "Shouzhong, come out to eat." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"None of us are official disciples, and Qiu Ming also has an excuse not to call Senior Brother.

After almost a minute, Wang Shouzhong walked out yawning: "Brother Xiaoming, are you going to have dinner so soon?" ”

The two walked together to the dining hall and found two long tables inside. At one table, there were old Taoists, Xiao Daotongs and a few people who were also wearing long robes, and the other table, although they were also wearing Taoist buns, were wearing short Taoist robes.

Wang Shouzhong still wanted to sit at the table of Lao Dao, but was pulled by Qiu Ming, and after looking carefully, he realized that the table was Lao Dao and his own disciples, and the ones at this table were those of them who were still in the test period.

Everyone was not surprised to see Wang Shouzhong, but in the face of Qiu Ming, they all stared, because Qiu Ming was not wearing a hat, revealing his head with only short hair stubble.

"Let's eat." After the old Tao finished speaking, he moved the chopsticks first, and the others began to eat.

The dishes on the table are very rich, there are meat and vegetables, the dishes are very large, and there is a big pot of steamed buns. It seems that the Laoshan faction can't help but eat meat, which makes Qiu Ming very satisfied, and it is much better than living in a small temple that quits idiots.

Qiu Ming felt that the senior brother of Guan Zhaitang had done a little too much, counting him and Wang Shouzhong, there were only thirteen disciples, and this must be left.

But when the chopsticks moved, he realized that there was not much to cook at all, and the other disciples could eat one by one, Qiu Ming suspected that each of these disciples was a rice bucket that quit greed!

After eating, the Taoist chief he met when he was fetching water shouted to Qiu Ming and Wang Shouzhong to follow him, gave the two of them two sets of short shirts and uniforms, as well as shoes, socks, towels and other supplies, looked at Qiu Ming's head with only stubble, and gave Qiu Ming an extra hat.

"You take these two axes, have breakfast tomorrow, and go to the back mountain to chop wood with other anonymous disciples. Don't wander around in the meditation, especially don't peek at other senior brothers' practices! Maintain harmony between brothers and sisters and respect their brothers......"

After talking about a bunch of rules, Qiu Ming found that there were not many restrictions, don't walk around, work hard, don't make trouble, don't steal the teacher, that's probably what it means.

When he returned to the dormitory, Wang Shouzhong couldn't help but ask Qiu Ming: "Brother Xiaoming, why did you say that the master arranged for us to chop wood?" We're here to learn immortal arts, so at most we can sweep the yard, right? ”

Mencius said: The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and work their muscles and bones. Didn't Master also say that I am afraid that we will not be able to endure hardships, this is the test. ”

"Yes, yes, Master must be afraid that our minds are not firm enough. But I'm sure I'll make it, how about you? ”

Qiu Ming glanced at Wang Shouzhong, wait until you chop firewood for a few days before you say this.

"Brother Xiaoming, you came to learn immortal arts, have your wives and children been settled at home?" Wang Shouzhong asked again.

Wife and children? The ancients got married early, what does this Wang Shouzhong mean, already have a wife and children?

"I have no wife."

"The eldest husband has a family and a business, and there are many people who start a family first and then start a family, so are you a golden house and a treasurer, or are you used to going to some fireworks and willows?"

The ancients only had a wife who was considered a wife, and there was no one who married a wife, but first there was a concubine, or a girl in the room, which is normal in a large family, and they are all considered unmarried young men!

Qiu Ming frowned: "Shouzhong, let's rest early when we go back, and tomorrow we have to go to the back mountain to chop wood." ”

This Wang Shouzhong's tone is still so annoying, didn't the ancient scholars make friends, didn't they start with poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Why is this Wang Shouzhong revealing debauchery everywhere~?

Well, the main thing is that Qiu Ming can't answer this topic at all, because he hasn't been to that kind of place. If you talk about theoretical moves, Qiu Ming can communicate and discuss with him, he has seen a lot of moves, although they are all in small movies in island countries.

Seeing that Qiu Ming didn't have the interest in chatting, Wang Shouzhong stopped talking. Back in the East Courtyard, he went to other people's dormitories, I don't know whether to inquire about the news, or to exchange the experience of Fireworks Lane Willow with others.

Qiu Ming practiced the family heirloom moves, and after recovering from fatigue with the Heart Sutra, he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, when everyone was washing, Wang Shouzhong was still sleeping, and when Qiu Ming called him up after washing, he yawned and came out: "What are you doing so early, the dew on the mountain hasn't dried yet." ”

At breakfast, Wang Shouzhong ate very little, Qiu Ming and the others were very full, and the Taoist temple did not have lunch.

Carrying an axe, he went to the back mountain with other anonymous disciples, and along the way, Wang Shouzhong kept talking, as if he felt very fresh. The words were full of lofty ambitions, saying that after he learned immortal arts, he would definitely surprise his family and friends.

The implication is that after learning the fairy arts, he went home to show off.

"Alright, let's chop wood here, and carry the chopped firewood back in the afternoon." After an older senior brother explained to Qiu Ming and the others, he went to chop wood with an axe.

Qiu Ming found a tree and picked up an axe to cut it. At this time, Qiu Ming knew how important the wood-cutting mastery rewarded by the side quest in the previous world was, and he knew how to lay the axe and how to cut it the fastest and most labor-saving just by looking at the tree.

Easily brought down three trees, Qiu Ming estimated, less than five minutes, this he had never thought that cutting down trees would be so easy before. The previous senior brothers all looked at Qiu Ming with some surprise, this short-haired kid, was he cutting trees before?

They only knew that Qiu Ming was from the northern frontier, and even his hair was cut, so he must have been contaminated with some barbarian customs. If they knew that Qiu Ming's short hair was because he had been a monk before, they wouldn't know what they would be surprised about, this is a Taoist temple.

As for Wang Shouzhong, he was still cutting the first tree, and after cutting the axe for a minute, he would rest for a while, and it had been almost ten minutes, and the trunk of a tree had not yet been cut to a third, but there were already many beads of sweat oozing from his head.

Looking at the other senior brothers who came first, one by one they were not idle at all, and they were all cutting down trees. Some of them were not much faster than Wang Shouzhong, but they didn't stand up and rest like Wang Shouzhong, but slashed firmly.

The senior brother who had just explained the time to Qiu Ming to go back was the hardest working to cut down trees. Qiu Ming watched that senior brother in less than a minute, and he brought down a tree with a diameter thicker than his thigh, and it seemed to be effortless.

Others may chop wood from some branches, but they are like lumberjacks, cutting trees directly, and the efficiency is faster than using a saw.

It's just that Qiu Ming feels strange that according to the speed at which these people cut down trees, the forest in the back mountain should have been cut down a long time ago, why is this forest still so dense, and he can't see a few tree stumps?

Could it be that these trees cut down will soon be able to grow?
