Volume 1: The Thousand Years of the Stream Volume 1 Chapter 17 The Step of the Sky
"I have killed thousands of barbarians, I have military merits, and I came here with the expectations of the guards, how did I become a cook?" Sun Zikai was chopping wood in the courtyard, and it was rare for him to complain.
Jiang Yujin sat on a small bench, holding a large bowl, there were chicken legs, pig's trotters, pine mushrooms, fragrant seeds and other ordinary delicacies in the bowl, she used chopsticks to pick up a piece, held it in her mouth, chewed it deliciously, but still couldn't help complaining: "This meat is too old, did you make it?" I used to eat only a piece of meat from the pig's trotters, and I didn't eat any of these things. ”
"Then you still eat!"
"I do!"
"Hey, eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and I want me to do the work for you." Sun Zikai wielded an axe and kept chopping wood.
"I've paid, you're my little servant."
Sun Zikai stopped, as if remembering something, walked up to Jiang Yujin, and took out a piece of oiled paper from his arms, which was wrapped in something.
"What is this?"
"Forget about this stubble, there are goods in the kitchen today, and an elder bought a batch of candy cubes, and I took a small piece for you." When I opened the oiled paper, there was a small sugar cube.
Ah——— Jiang Yujin opened her mouth and took it in.
"Sweet."
"Uh-huh, sweet."
"Of course it's sweet." Sun Zikai began to chop wood again, "Don't swallow, eat it." ”
"You know, you don't want to eat."
"How can I eat it when you have it all?"
"I'll smash it, enough for you."
"Isn't it disgusting......... Really? ”
"Phew, think beautiful!"
"Hey, who's rare." Sun Zikai buried himself in chopping wood.
They have been here for more than a month, and there are only two empty places in the outer door miscellaneous area, one is the boiling water room and the other is the kitchen, and these two rooms are the largest in the outer door.
Jiang Yujin didn't want to make herself smell like a stove, so she chose to boil water, but she didn't expect that boiling water was not easy to do, and the water of the entire sect had to be boiled here, and there was no hour to rest from day to night, and the newcomer Jiang Yujin couldn't even boil water, she could only chop firewood and chop for six hours a day to complete the required amount, which was impossible, in fact, it was also the disadvantage of those people in the boiling water room to the newcomers.
Later, it was Sun Zikai who rushed into the water boiling room and beat everyone, regardless of men, women and children, before changing the situation, but he still had to chop firewood for two hours and burn water for one hour every day.
Of course, most of the time, Jiang Yujin is only responsible for boiling water, and the firewood is split by Sun Zikai.
Sun Zikai's work is not easy to do, and it is not his turn to cook, he is only responsible for receiving goods and counting ingredients, and in the end, he still has to chop the firewood in the kitchen.
He thought that receiving the goods was a beautiful errand, but the receipt was extremely strict, and there would be four people to supervise the whole process, and those good delicacies had nothing to do with it, they were all placed in the kitchen, and sent to all parts of the sect by special people, but this could not help Sun Zikai, he could always take a small amount of food in front of everyone, and then pack it and send it to the boiling water room.
Jiang Yujin ate well, picked up a piece of meat, raised it, Sun Zikai came over and ate it in his mouth.
"Huh? It's delicious. ”
"yes, I also think that I didn't care about this mushroom meat before."
"Then I'll do more in the future."
"You're not done yet."
"It's early."
Jiang Yujin said suspiciously: "You used to be able to split mine and yours in half an hour, why does it take so long to split me now." ”
Sun Zikai didn't think about how to answer, Jiang Yujin called him a few more times, and Sun Zikai replied: "I haven't killed people for a few days, and I always feel that I can't do it with all my strength, so I simply take chopping wood as a kind of practice." ”
"You're full of murder, beast!"
"I'm a beast, Lao Yang said I'm a wolf."
"And what is he?"
"Hiss........." Sun Zikai really thought about it seriously and said, "He, yes......... Cow? Or the horse, the one in the lead. ”
Jiang Yujin said: "Hey, if I am a beast, I am a lion and a tiger!" Better than you. ”
"What? What are lions and tigers? "Of course, there are no such beasts in the Guannai, and Sun Zikai has never heard of them.
"It's a monster that's five or six times stronger than a wolf and five or six times bigger, and it's also a beast, with claws as long as chopsticks."
"You just blow it, I don't believe it."
"You still don't believe me? I saw it when I was a kid. ”
Sun Zikai said: "If there is really such a big beast, then when you see my wolf, no, I won't be a wolf, I want to be a more powerful beast, I want to be the king of beasts, so that all the beasts in the world will have to kneel and kowtow when they see me." ”
"Bragging!"
"Wait and see!"
There was a commotion outside the courtyard, as if everyone was running in one direction, Jiang Yujin didn't know what was going on, but Sun Zikai said: "Those guys in the outer door repair office are going to play tricks on the other side." ”
"Huh? Shall we not take a look? ”
"I've seen it, it's nothing bad, it feels like it's all nonsense, and I want to go over and kick them."
"They seem to only play once a month, when have you ever seen it?"
"If you see it secretly, I'll go if I'm free."
"I'm going too."
"Then I'll take you with me next time."
"Well, I can't eat it, here you go, I still want to go and see it."
"Okay." Sun Zikai threw away the axe, pulled out the long knife on his waist, and the wind surged, after he gathered momentum for a while, he slashed a blow, and the wind spread its blade, splitting all the firewood into three pieces, and then put the knife into the sheath, took the bowl and chopsticks, quickly cleaned it, wiped his mouth, and ran out with Jiang Yujin.
The people in the outer sect cultivation began to come into contact with the cultivation level, although they also had chores to do, but it was much less than the people in the miscellaneous places, and most of the day was spent in the body quenching, and they were qualified to be called disciples.
After quenching is the condensation period, which is divided into seven stages, and after the condensation is the qi training period, at this time, the sect will begin to look for candidates for the inner door, and those with better qualifications can be promoted to the inner door and obtain better resources to facilitate the foundation building.
Sun Zikai didn't forget to complain to Jiang Yujin on the way: "I really don't feel that this aura cultivation path is very useful, from the perspective of energy level, even if it is a guy in the qi training period, it doesn't seem to be my opponent." ”
After a while, the two came to the changing platform, but the crowd was already surrounded by water, Sun Zikai grabbed Jiang Yujin and jumped on a tall tree while people were unprepared, and saw the situation of the changing platform clearly.
The people in the miscellaneous places attach great importance to this learning opportunity once a month, and some even prepare paper and pencil to draw down the movements of the disciples in the cultivation department, after all, the only way for them to study in the cultivation department is to realize the way of quenching the body, which is almost impossible, so the sect just needs them to do countless chores, but the people in the miscellaneous places always have hope.
No matter what the disciples of the cultivation department do on the changing stage, it will cause a sensation among the miscellaneous people, and after a while, the two disciples of the cultivation department will fight, but only until the point is reached, and the tangible qi can be seen on both of them, and when they evaporate, when they make a move, they can also make a noise in the wind.
Jiang Yujin watched it with relish, and sighed from time to time: "Look at that big guy, he seems to be burning all over his body, it's so powerful, the three of them can't beat one of him." ”
Sun Zikai frowned, the level of the sect's disciples was really disappointing to him, and this sect, which made him feel like he had entered a fairyland at first glance, gradually revealed the mediocrity under the golden skin.
Jiang Yujin turned back to him and said, "It's amazing, let's go to the training department." Don't we know that way of quenching the body? Just keep breathing as the book says. ”
Sun Zikai sighed, held his cheeks, and said, "I don't think the aura is very strong, I don't want to cultivate, it's better for me to realize the Tao myself." ”
"You just saw them, there are also inner gates, and there are layers of realms, the path of spiritual qi cultivation may not be as good as you at the initial stage, but its upper limit is high."
"That's right, let's go then."
said to go, Sun Zikai immediately hugged her and jumped down, and then pulled her towards the cultivation office, Jiang Yujin was confused and said hurriedly: "What are you doing, I haven't practiced yet." ”
"Do you still need to practice that thing?"
"Yes! Stupid"
From this day on, Jiang Yujin began to follow the method of breathing, began to quench the body, from the beginning of the groping of the aura, and gradually attracted the aura to nourish her body, during this period, she has not forgotten to practice the three tricks taught to her by Sun Zikai - stabbing, retreating, and chopping, and the firewood in the courtyard has become her practice object.
On this day, Sun Zikai was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the sky, it was an eagle, its wings spread, six feet long, it circled for a while, suddenly fell, just stepped on the roof next to Sun Zikai.
But it fell with a lot of force, and one of its claws accidentally got embedded in the crack between the tiles, which were all poured with medicinal juice, and they were tightly glued together, and it was difficult to peel off.
The eagle kept vibrating its wings, but its feet seemed to be bound by a thousand pounds of chains, and it could not move, and it used its beak to knock on the tiles, but it could not break the tiles.
Sun Zikai looked at the young eagle obsessively, its vigorous and powerful wings, flying freely without fettering, sharp claws and beaked dementors, striking the sky and arrogant Huanyu, and its sharp eyes seemed to be able to kill all weak things.
The eagle was trapped and free, it kept struggling, its wings were shaking, but it couldn't get up unless it broke its claws. Sun Zikai wanted to jump up to help it, but after a few breaths, the eagle began to flutter its wings vigorously, and at the same time, there was a slight cracking sound from the roof, and with a sound, the tiles cracked, but the whole piece of wood and stone tiles were tied to the eagle's talons.
The eagle kept flying, flying towards the sky, from time to time suddenly turning around, flying to one side, the body turned upside down and whirled, after a few struggles, it seemed to adapt to the weight on the claws, and began to rise to the sky, it was really like a black thorn piercing into the sky, and the wind flowed in its perfect lines.
Sun Zikai saw that he was tempted, immediately jumped on the ground, stepped on the wind and rose, as the black eagle rushed down the mountain, in the fourteen cities, learn to soar like an eagle, it rotated, he also turned, it rose sharply, he also rose, the wind was used as art by this beast, and Sun Zikai also learned to use the wind, to control the wind, and the eagle finally got rid of the shackles on the claws and regained freedom.
After a long time, he said goodbye to the black eagle and flew back to the bottom of the mountain, he stepped out, the wind moved, his feet became claws, and his legs became wings, he stepped between the mountains and rocks, no longer as before, jumping around only by strength, but following the wind, stepping on the wind, sliding against the wind, and gradually, his arms also became wings, and he changed from jumping to flying, soaring as he pleased, pressing his hand, like an eagle's claw holding down the sky, and soaring into the sky.
He fell back to the ground and ran into Jiang Yujin's small courtyard for chopping wood, and Jiang Yujin was walking the way of breathing, groping for aura, and seeing Sun Zikai coming excitedly, Jiang Yujin asked, "See you have food?" ”
Sun Zikai hurriedly said no, and said that he had realized a set of body methods, and asked her if she wanted to learn it.
Jiang Yujin refused again and again, saying that he hadn't fully understood the aura yet, and he hadn't even started quenching his body.
Sun Zikai said: "It doesn't matter what those spirits do, practice, no matter what, it's all practice, don't let those rules and regulations restrict your freedom." ”
Jiang Yujin still didn't want to learn, feeling that she had already touched the door of aura cultivation, and she would be able to quench her body immediately. Sun Zikai asked her not to regret it, and then danced in front of her, following the wind, her feet fell to the ground like air, she moved in the shadow, turned back but moved sideways, leaned forward but rose into the air, completely free but saw the orderly flow, it was the wind, the wind was not seen in the eyes, but the wind was everywhere.
Jiang Yujin immediately regretted it, and pulled Sun Zikai to death to force him to teach himself.
"If you don't teach, you don't learn what you say."
"Sun Zikai, teach me!"
"Don't teach!"
"I've paid for it!"
"You! All right... Then this set of body methods is worth a lot of money. ”
"Half a block, no, a third of a piece, no, a quarter...... A fifth of a piece of gold, how's that. ”
"That's what you said!"
"Once the word is spoken, the horse is hard to chase."
"Okay!" Sun Zikai said proudly, with this set of body methods, your three actions will be alive, and you will be able to kill people for a hundred attempts. ”
"Your mind is full of murder, beast!"
"I am the beast, and I am the king of the beasts!"
"Phew! Did you give it a name? Jiang Yujin asked.
"Of course, it's good."
"It's not good."
"It's good," Sun Zikai said, "Just like an eagle, even if it is tied with talons by a thousand pound chains, it can still rise into the air, once it breaks free, the whole sky is its free place, this is a set of walking in the sky, stepping on the wind!" ”
"It's not good."
"Then what do you call it?"
"Hmm......" Jiang Yujin circled around Sun Zikai, "I want to call it...... Wind...... Wind ......"
"Hehe, don't you want to..."
"Fuyao is drunk!"
"What's Fuyao?"
"It's the wind, too..."
"Drunk? It's hard to hear. ”
"Deduction!"
"From now on, it's just helping... What's going on? ”
"Forget it, let's take a good step, you realize, you name it." Jiang Yujin bit her lip and said in a low voice.
Sun Zikai said: "Fuyao is very good, and your name is very good. ”
"Really?"
"Well, come on, I'll teach you, learn that you're good at killing."
"Phew! Kill again! ”
