Chapter 13: Breakthrough 1
"Boom!"
A tree that had grown for an unknown number of years fell to the ground with a bang, and the sound of falling to the ground echoed through the forest, obscuring the sound of the rain and the original 'thump' of logging.
A few workers who were logging nearby glanced over and saw Bai Ming, who was a newcomer, standing by the fallen tree, and was a little surprised, they knew the difficulty of cutting down the tree.
Bai Ming cut down a towering tree with a diameter of nearly half a meter in about two hours or so after he came over, which was already a very remarkable thing.
Because he was not familiar with it, and Bai Ming also had that attitude of not going in after he came over, so after a few workers glanced at it, no one stepped forward to greet and congratulate, and silently turned around and continued to cut down the big tree in front of him.
The sound of logging was heard again in the vast forest.
Ichiro Hirasawa was closer, and when he saw that Bai Ming had cut down a big tree in a while, he hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the body of the tree that fell to the ground, and exclaimed, "Amazing!" White! Cutting down a tree so quickly, you're sure you'll be able to do it again this time. ”
The condition of the remuneration of 30,000 taels for logging is to complete a sufficient share of the work, that is, if you do not complete a sufficient share of the work, you will not be able to get the full 30,000 taels, and vice versa, you can also get paid for completing the share of work in advance.
"It's just trying to push hard."
Bai Ming put the axe down on the stump of the tree he had just chopped, and said with a panting urn on the handle of the axe, since his physical fitness continued to improve after cultivation, he had not experienced this feeling of exhaustion for a long time.
But compared to my own gains, I feel that it is very worthwhile.
The so-called paper is shallow in the end, and I never know that I have to do it.
What the ancients said is no different from what Taizu once said, and it can also be used in the cultivation of martial arts.
If you have not actually used or experienced what you thought you had mastered, it would eventually seem vain and unfounded.
Hirasawa Ichiro came over and said a few words before continuing to do his work, Bai Ming stood in place, although the vajra qi is mainly to improve the strength, but the internal force cultivated and the effect of accelerating the recovery of physical strength are still there.
As the internal qi derived from the qi in the dantian was slowly consumed, his qi strength recovered almost after about half an hour.
He picked up his axe again, cut off the thicker branches of the tree on the ground, pruned and cut them down, so that it could be dragged later. After all, it's one thing to cut it down, it's another thing to pull it back to the site of the lumberyard.
Before I knew it, the sky was getting dark, and there was no sign of sunset, but the light gradually dimmed.
The sound of rain was pouring outside, oil lamps were lit up in the lumberyard, and the dim light illuminated the house, and the bonfire in the hearth in the center was burning, and the soup in the iron pot hanging from the shelves was boiling, and the gurgling sound of the food was coming out of it.
Several people sat cross-legged on tatami mats, and Ichiro Hirasawa gave the roasted brown rice and wild vegetable rice balls to Bai Ming for two, and the baked rice balls were no longer cold, and although they didn't taste good in their mouths, they were hot in their mouths.
Compared with Bai Ming's taciturnity, Ichiro Hirasawa's communication skills are very good, and after baking and dividing the rice balls he carried, he chatted happily with a few of the original workers in the lumberyard.
The hired woman scooped up the mixed soup from the iron pot and put it in a bowl, and then served it to the workers.
Bai Ming took the chopsticks and stirred the food, blew the heat, and ate it slowly, it was nothing more than radishes, konjac and other ingredients, the cooking woman was not bad, the ingredients in the mixed cooking were cooked very thoroughly, and the soup mixed and boiled was also fragrant and rich.
It's just that Bai Ming looked at the small half of the miscellaneous cooking left in the iron pot, and sighed slightly in his heart, "Negligent." ”
It is not unreasonable to be poor and rich in martial arts, and the appetite that has increased since one's cultivation is obviously unable to meet one's daily needs by providing one's own diet from the lumberyard.
Something else needs to be done.
By the time dinner was over, it was already completely dark.
In the era when lighting was popularized and cut through the night, there were few entertainment activities after dark.
"Pyeongtaek, want to play together?" A square-faced man named Akagi greeted and asked?
"Really." When Hirasawa heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and said confidently, "Don't underestimate me, I'm known as Ichiro Ghost in our village!" ”
"Is that so?" Akagi also showed an excited smile from the gambler, "Then let me test your strength." ”
"Are you coming?"
Bai Ming shook his head and refused directly, "Thank you, I'm a little tired today and want to rest early." ”
Akagi looked a little unhappy with Bai Ming's refusal, nodded casually and beckoned another person to get the cards.
When Bai Ming left the house, he faintly heard Akagi's inquiry, "Is he so unsociable all the time?" ”
There are several huts for the construction of workers in the lumberyard, and the most important thing here is wood, and Bai Ming lives in a hut left by the former workers in their spare time.
As he passed through the hallway, he saw a woman with a lantern and an umbrella that seemed to be about to leave.
"Excuse me." Bai Ming stopped the woman, "There is something I want to take the liberty of asking you." ”
The woman who was called out was Ah Xia, the wife of a farmer living in a nearby village, and she was invited to cook for the lumberyard workers because of the delicious food she cooked.
"Can you prepare more food for me?" After Bai Ming learned about some of the nearby situation, he thought for a while and made his request, "Because my food is larger than normal, the normal amount of food in the lumber yard cannot meet me, so if you can prepare more food for me, I am willing to pay you." ”
Ah Xia's purpose in coming to the lumber yard to cook was originally to make money, Bai Ming's entrustment made her hesitate a little, but after listening to Bai Ming's promised reward, she immediately agreed.
After the agreement, Bai Ming first paid a sum of money for tomorrow's food as a reservation, and both of them were quite satisfied.
Bai Ming is satisfied that he can solve his troubles by just paying a part of the money, although it will be more expensive, but this is also something that can only be done by building on the system and order, and it is also the reason why Bai Ming was a stranger to this world before, but after entering Hachiman Town, he would rather take some risks than return to live in the wild tree hole.
Without it, it's convenient.
The wooden house had a damp and musty smell, which reminded Bai Ming of his days in the hollow of the tree, and he hung the lantern, and the moss growth was faintly visible in the dimly lit corner, and he propped up the window and began to ventilate.
The forest breeze at night blew into the house with a moist breath, blowing away a lot of the obscure rotten musty smell in the wooden house, and when the ventilation was almost done, Bai Ming lowered the window and began to spread the quilt.
After simply packing up, he began to cultivate Vajra Qi at night.
Meditation, concentration, and concentration.
The cultivation of vajra qi has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past three months, and the dantian was originally empty except for the qi species, but now it has been filled with wisps of internal qi derived from the qi species.
In fact, this kind of rapid growth made Bai Ming feel a little incredible, if it wasn't for his own cultivation by a wisp, Bai Ming would feel that he had taken some kind of great tonic.
After all, the level that Mao had only reached after more than 18 years of cultivation, he had already reached and surpassed it in only three months, and his progress was so rapid that he was even about to break through the first layer.
In Bai Ming's feeling, it's like the cultivation difficulty has been reduced, if the original cultivation difficulty may be 100, then the current cultivation difficulty may be 1.
But if you put aside personal roots, talent, intelligence, etc., perhaps the reduction in difficulty is related to some external factors.
The mind is more acute in the concentration, with a kind of third-point perception of the internal qi changes in the dantian, the first layer of vajra qi is the qi machine from the virtual condensation into the qi, derived from the internal qi, then the second layer is the usual opening of the meridians in martial arts novels.
