Chapter 114: Travel and Distress
"Huh?! Running out of firewood? ”
Dong Moxuan touched his head, thought for a while, and found that it seemed to be the case.
It's just that he didn't think of chopping wood, after all, what age is it............
Forehead......
It's the Three Kingdoms period, and it's really necessary to chop wood.
"It's also because the device invented by the teacher consumes less firewood, otherwise stargazing would have to go up the mountain every two days."
"On that day, stargazing was to bathe there when you came back from chopping wood, otherwise how could you ............?"
Getting things ready, Stargazer seemed to recall something and said it casually.
But she soon realized that something was wrong, and closed her mouth with a slightly red cheek.
“………… Then I'll go up the mountain first, and it is estimated that I will come back late, and lunch ...... Teacher Xuanhe, don't wait for stargazing............"
With that, Stargazer prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait!"
Dong Moxuan stretched out his hand to stop the stargazing who wanted to leave.
"If it's chopping wood............ I'll go too! ”
"Huh? Is Xuan going too? ”
Stargazing was a little surprised, after all, chopping wood is hard work, and Mr. Shui Jing has always hated it.
"That's right, after all, I've reached a bottleneck in sword training now, and I'm idle............"
Scratching his cheeks gently, Dong Moxuan chuckled and said, "And............ Let a girl go up the mountain to chop wood, and I, a boy, sit here and enjoy it............"
"I'm not so cheeky............"
Saying that, Dong Moxuan didn't know where to find an axe.
"Let's go!"
Shaking the axe in his hand, Dong Moxuan said with a smile.
“…………”
"Hmm."
After being silent for a while, Mr. Stargazing still agreed to Dong Moxuan's proposal.
Following Mr. Stargazing, Dong Moxuan also walked out of the secluded residence of Mr. Shui Jing for the first time.
Speaking of which, it is said that it has reached the Three Kingdoms era, but Dong Moxuan's scope of activities is only a third of an acre of land that is confined to Mr. Shuijing's hermitage, and in a sense, this experience is really a waste.
However, compared to the lovely Mr. Water Mirror and Mr. Stargazing, even if it is an entire era, so what?
Mr. Shuijing's retreat is in the mountains and forests, so you don't have to walk too far to replenish firewood.
In just a few minutes, you are at the woodland that can be cut down.
"When~"
Looking at the stargazing that easily cut down the trees, Dong Moxuan also followed her example, picked up the axe and cut it at a tree that looked relatively thin.
However, Dong Moxuan not only did not cut down the tree, but also almost broke his arm by the force of the shock.
"! What kind of tree is this? So hard! ”
Shaking his hand in pain, Dong Moxuan couldn't help but complain.
"These are spirit trees!"
Seeing Dong Moxuan's embarrassment, Mr. Stargazing, who had already cut down several trees next to him, explained to Dong Moxuan very patiently.
Just like most immortal cultivation novels, there is such a thing as aura, the further time goes on, the higher the concentration.
The concentration of spiritual power during the Three Kingdoms period, that is, the concentration of Honkai energy, was naturally much higher than that of modern times (except for the period and region where the Honkai occurred).
Moreover, this kind of Honkai energy is extremely mild in nature, although the spiritual power of Yu Xiuxian's novels cannot be compared, but compared to the Honkai energy in the general sense, the destructiveness is much less.
The place where Mr. Shui Jing lives is the place where Zhong Tiandi's spirit is beautiful, and the trees on the top of his mountain have undergone some kind of mutation under the infiltration of high-intensity honkai energy.
That's why it is called a spiritual tree by Mr. Stargazing and Water Mirror.
The reason why a tree can be used for so many days when stargazing is cut down once, in addition to Mr. Shuijing's invention, is more because the spirit wood itself is more resistant to burning.
Speaking of which, although the Honkai energy contained in these spirit trees is far inferior to that of the Honkai Beast, it is also a good material for making magic weapons.
Just using it to light a fire is really a bit of a tyrannical thing.
It's a pity that Mr. Shui Jing doesn't care.
After all, although there is no majesty in front of Dong Moxuan and Mr. Stargazing, Mr. Shui Jing is really a well-deserved top boss in this era.
"If you want to cut down the spirit wood, you have to attach the true qi to the axe!"
After explaining the spirit wood, Mr. Stargazing began to teach Dong Moxuan the skills of logging very patiently.
"Like this!"
As Mr. Stargazer raised and fell with his axe, a spirit tree fell into the mountain forest.
"Huh? Cutting down a tree has to use Honkai Oh no, it's spiritual power? ”
Dong Moxuan, who was temporarily in dire need of Honkai energy, obviously couldn't accept this kind of behavior that could be said to be a waste of Honkai energy in his eyes.
It's just that he has come here, and he can't just watch Mr. Stargazer work, how faceless is that?
Sighing slightly, Dong Moxuan raised his axe.
"Click!"
Cut down a large tree with great ease.
"Residence...... Actually...... Learned so quickly......"
Seeing that Dong Moxuan actually learned the skill of cutting trees after watching it once, Mr. Stargazing's beautiful indigo eyes showed a look of surprise.
"What, what's wrong?"
"The teacher told me that cutting down trees is also a kind of practice!"
No, she just wants to be lazy, that's why she fools you like this.
"At that time, I studied stargazing, but I studied it for a week............"
"Mr. Xuan...... Sure enough, it's a genius! ”
"Genius what!"
Dong Moxuan, who knew the idea of stargazing, showed a helpless expression.
"What was your situation? What about me? ”
"Do you really think that I practice swords outside every day for nothing?"
"Is it just a technique for attaching true qi to a weapon? If I don't, wouldn't it be no different from being a fool? ”
“………… Stargazing doesn't mean that......"
"I know, don't think so much about it!"
Dong Moxuan stepped forward and gently rubbed his stargazing little head.
"Let's finish cutting down the tree first!"
“……………… Well! ”
Stargazer nodded slightly.
With the help of Dong Moxuan, Stargazing quickly completed the target of felling.
"Hey, is that much needed?"
Looking at the bundle of firewood that looked a little shabby on the back of the stargazer, Dong Moxuan couldn't help but ask.
"That's all you need, the spirit wood is very resistant to burning!"
Saying this, a shallow smile actually appeared on the stargazer's face.
"It's thanks to Mr. Xuan that I was able to finish it so quickly today!"
“………… It's all borrowed from Mr. Shuijing, which is what I should do......"
Dong Moxuan scratched his cheek lightly and said, "These...... Firewood ...... Why don't I carry it? ”
"No need,"
Mr. Stargazer shook his head.
"Mr. Xuan has already helped a lot before, so leave the rest to stargazing!"
Dong Moxuan, who knew the situation of the girl in front of him, was not too persistent, and was ready to go back with her when he heard the words.
However, as soon as he stepped out, Dong Moxuan seemed to sense something, and stretched out his hand to block the stargazing.
"Wait, stargazing, do you feel anything?"
