Chapter Twenty-Four: Strength Is Not Escape

Chen Xi knew Fu Jinglun's story, that was a cold-blooded guy who made people angry. In Zhou Jiuzhi's narrative, this guy should be a person with a hidden physical disease, so he sucked Ding Mei's internal strength to climb the Fortune Tower. If that's the case...... What kind of opportunity did this person get to become the number one in the overall list of the Inner Sect of the Little Mantian Sect?

Because of other people's affairs, Chen Xi didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

Although he had reached his cultivation realm, sleep would no longer affect him. But even so, I still feel a little blocked in my heart. Even if...... These things don't seem to have anything to do with him directly. But Chen Xi is such a person, Ding Mei was kind to him in the past, and he was willing to return it to her twice.

Just like when he was doing miscellaneous labor in the Qingwu Academy, and like every day for the past ten years, Chen Xi got up to wash before dawn. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed and breathed for half an hour, allowing his true air to flow out of the smoothest state. Then he walked out of the room and saw that the waning moon was still hanging in the sky.

This is a difficult problem that Chen Xi has to face now.

There seems to be no other shortcut to get around, so you have to keep trying. Chen Xi has never been a person without perseverance or resilience, and he never believes that Gao Qingshu asked him to pull weeds purely for fun. It is impossible for a person who can become an inner religious practice to do such a boring thing.

Gao Qingshu's disciples had all left before, indeed because they couldn't stand the boredom day after day.

Chen Xi had ten years of forbearance experience, which was boring and boring, not to mention that compared to the difficulty of cultivating in the Seven Yang Valley, even compared to the time when he was doing miscellaneous labor in the Qingwu Academy, it was much lighter.

He took a deep breath against the breeze.

Weeding

Begin!

The dust was flying, and his arms moved as fast as a spinning windmill. The only thing left was an afterimage waving his arm, which was terrifying enough. If any landlord and old rich family hired such a long-term worker, I am afraid that they will die happily. Not using the power of cultivation is the most basic requirement of Gao Qingshu. Chen Xi felt that since Gao Qingshu's arrangement must have some deep meaning, then just do it.

Because Chen Xi's physique himself is not bad, and he is even more outstanding after the tempering of the Fortune Transformation Tower, even if he does not need to cultivate, he is now a first-class master if he breaks through the rivers and lakes of Fanwu. With just one quick word, it is enough to defeat those mortal martial artists who don't know how to cultivate.

While pulling weeds, Chen Xi accurately controlled his breath. Whether you exhale or inhale, control the most appropriate amount. Some mortal warriors have long stamina and some are very short, and a big reason for this is that they can't breathe properly. For mortals, breathing is only the most basic requirement to be alive. For practitioners, breathing is of great importance.

His movements are fast, but not chaotic.

Every time I made a move, I looked at the junction of several grasses, and every time I pulled it up, I pulled out the whole grass without breaking it. This kind of eyesight is even more difficult to grasp than the degree in the hand. His hand-eye coordination has reached the point where it is almost seamless. That's talent, talent like no other.

Speaking of which, these are the simplest truths.

Breathing, hand-eye coordination.

But it is this simplest truth that is extremely important for practitioners. In terms of hand-eye coordination, a person sees and then makes a move, and the shorter the time of this process, the better the person's talent. The same water cup fell from the same height, and the person standing next to it reached out to grab it. Some people catch the cup when it falls halfway, some people catch it after the cup drops for a short time, and most people can't catch it at all.

Chen Xi belongs to that kind of ...... The one who straightens the cup when it is crooked.

He wouldn't wait for the cup to fall at all.

This is the gap between people.

The most commendable thing is that it seems that Chen Xi pulled the weeds so quickly, but the weeds he threw out were not disorderly, but all thrown in a heap. This requires precise control of hand strength, as well as accurate judgment of direction. There is no doubt that Chen Xi has all the conditions that an excellent practitioner should have!

Therefore, standing at the window of the largest thatched hut in Cuiwei Thatched Cottage and looking at his tall green tree, his face became softer and softer. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was so satisfied with Chen Xi's attitude and way that he couldn't be more satisfied. In the past, none of the disciples he brought with him were as organized and prepared as Chen Xi.

Gao Qingshu knew that he was a freak in the eyes of others, and Chen Xi was also a freak in his eyes.

Chen Xi didn't have an opinion on his training, but also expressed his opinion. But Chen Xi will not resist because of his opinions, but continue to do it seriously. A man who has to calculate and prepare for something as simple as pulling weeds...... What is not a freak?

The previous disciples were all extremely gifted, but what they lacked was patience. When pulling weeds, you are either irritable, or you blindly pursue the degree and throw the pulled grass everywhere. Irritability proves that the person does not possess good mental qualities. And throwing it everywhere proves that this man is a man without a plan.

Because it is thrown everywhere, at least it will hinder the next weeding.

Standing at the window, Gao Qingshu's face, which had not appeared with a real smile for many years, was already relaxed. He knew that he had finally found a student who was the most suitable for him to teach. And at this moment, he saw the twenty-four-five-year-old woman Ding Mei coming out of the room dressed neatly and began to pull weeds without saying a word. Although her degree is not as good as Chen Xi, and the cloth wrapped in her palm is obviously worn out yesterday, but she is better than meticulous.

Moreover, she was pulling out the grass that grew after Chen Xi!

Gao Qingshu became more and more happy, these two disciples seemed to be better than he expected. Although Ding Mei is a little older, she is very sensible. Obviously, she knew that Chen Xi wanted to leave the inner sect to do things, so she was undoubtedly cooperating with Chen Xi in this way.

Gao Qingshu was very happy, so his face became even more gloomy and ugly when he walked out of the room.

"Too slow, too slow, too slow!

"Faster!"

"Rubbish!"

"People like you, don't say that you want to be ranked in the monthly list of the Inner Sect, even if it is the top three hundred, it may not be. No, no, no, I think highly of you, your current cultivation is the bottom two among the six hundred and eighty disciples of the Inner Sect!"

The two disciples worked silently, and one taught the sneering coldly.

This day, as well as the second day, the third day...... That's it.

......

......

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

I have to say that these days are really boring to the extreme. Every day when he opened his eyes, he began to pull weeds, and before sunset, Gao Qingshu would let Chen Xi and Ding Mei cook. An old monster who hadn't eaten for ten years turned into a gluttonous monster with no meat and no joy in just a few days......

By the mountain stream, Chen Xi watched Ding Mei carefully scrub his hands. The palms that were originally delicate and fair, but after a few days, the palms were full of blood blisters. She picks it up little by little, then scrubs it clean with water and wraps it up. Chen Xi could imagine how painful this injury would be when she continued to pull weeds, but this woman didn't even wrinkle the corners of her eyebrows from beginning to end.

Chen Xi thought of the little flower again.

A nameless little flower blooming in the ruins.

"It's ...... Does it hurt?"

Chen Xi subconsciously asked.

Ding Mei looked at him and smiled, shaking his head slightly: "It's much better than at the beginning, although it's still painful, I'm used to it." In the first two days, I was not allowed to use the power of cultivation, and there was no place in my arms, legs, and whole body that was not sore. ”

She was smiling when she said all this painful thing. Perhaps, when most women describe the pain they have suffered, they have a look of grief and pity, and they feel that they should be favored to make up for it. She didn't even need Chen Xi's help, but bandaged her two hands herself. If you were to be one of those delicate little women, you might have already looked at other men with pear blossoms and rain.

But she's not.

She's just saying one thing and doing one thing.

"You seem to ...... Very good at cooking. ”

After Ding Mei was bandaged, he sat on the rocks by the creek and watched Chen Xi fishing. There are a lot of river fish and game in this mountain, so Chen Xi doesn't have to worry about what to do. As for the lonely tall green tree, as long as it has meat, it doesn't even care if it's ripe or not.

"At the age of four, I began to find ways to feed myself, so practice makes perfect. ”

Chen Xi's bland answer shocked Ding Mei's heart.

"Four?!"

She couldn't imagine what kind of hardship it was for a four-year-old child to have to support herself. It was because she couldn't imagine it that she felt some pain in her heart. The more she didn't dare to think about it, the more a picture involuntarily appeared in her mind.

A young child who could barely run, dressed in dirty and shabby clothes, chased hares, dug grass roots, and climbed trees with difficulty to pick fruit to eat. The child fell again and again, starved again and again, but he was always so strong. There are no tears on this child's face, no sadness, only a kind of perseverance to live.

A kind of fortitude that shouldn't have been on the face of a child of his age.

Perhaps, it was because his tears were in his heart?

Ding Mei suddenly had an urge to go over and hug Chen Xi, she wanted to tell him that he would get better and better in the future.

And Chen Xi just smiled faintly: "Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you can eat enough at the beginning." No matter how unpalatable it is, as long as you think that you won't starve to death if you eat it, then it won't be difficult to eat. When I got older, I started to pursue taste. ”

He lifted his hand and caught a river fish and threw it into a bamboo basket he had made up himself.

Ding Mei couldn't bear to continue such a topic, so she shifted her direction, and after being silent for a while, she said: "Actually, you didn't need to go to the Zhao family, now that you have entered the Inner Sect, there is no need to entangle with those people anymore." No matter how arrogant the people of the Zhao family are in Qingzhou, they don't dare to come to Neizong to make trouble. Not to mention...... They can't get in at all. ”

Chen Xi looked at the bamboo basket and felt that it was enough for three people to eat, so he put away the simple fishing rod he made himself: "Sometimes, you can't forget to face it." ”

These words made Ding Mei a little puzzled.

Seeing her frowning slightly, Chen Xi jumped to the shore from the stone in the center of the creek and stretched out his hand, and Ding Mei naturally stretched out his hand to let Chen Xi pull himself up.

The two walked side by side and returned to Cuiwei Thatched Cottage.

"I didn't hide that I wanted to avenge my parents. So you have to have a strong heart...... How can people be strong?"

Chen Xi said as he walked: "That is, you can't escape, you can't escape anything." If there is even one small thing to avoid along this road, it will affect my state of mind. The next time I encounter difficulties, I can't help but wonder if I can escape? I'm still so weak, what qualifications do I have?"

Ding Mei was even more puzzled.

"Just because you're still weak, why can't you run away?"

She asked.

Chen Xi replied with a smile: "Because it is strong, it is not escaped." ”
