Hearing what people said, and praised him a few words, although Shen Mo really wanted to go to the martial arts training ground, he could only accept this task. Thinking that he had encountered a beast tide yesterday, Shen Mo asked the inner disciple for a knife. I wanted a bow, but they didn't have one here. Even the knife was searched for a long time before I found a rusty and rotten knife. The Litian Sword Sect advocates swordsmanship, and everyone is proud of practicing swords, who can dance with a sword? Shen Mo looked at it, fortunately, they didn't need a sword to chop wood, he simply took a woodcutter to protect himself.

Following this group of miscellaneous disciples, Shen Mo came to the back mountain. The mountain roads here are rugged, overgrown with weeds and trees. He thought he was cutting wood here, but the seven handymen said that they would have to go back to the mountains. It is too close to the sect and is a place for grazing. When chopping wood, the movement is too loud, for fear of scaring the sheep, affecting digestion, and losing fat.

Hearing them say this, Shen Mo didn't know whether it was right or wrong. Although he likes to watch "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" very much, he is really not familiar with sheep. However, he thinks that when the sheep are eating, someone next to them is chopping wood with a machete "tom tom", which may really make the sheep uncomfortable. He is very caring, and when he encounters such a group of caring people, Shen Mo naturally approves of walking far away and then chopping wood.

Those miscellaneous disciples were also very happy to see Shen Mo being as good as a stream, so they laughed with Shen Mo one after another. Finding that he was particularly interested in some anecdotes about the Heavenly Sword Sect, they specialized in this aspect of the legend. Sometimes, Shen Mo would also interject a few words and ask them if they were not careful enough. Because he felt that maybe these stories contained other secrets, and maybe he could find the secret book of immortal cultivation that had been lost by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Listening to their stories, Shen Mo felt that he had learned more about the Heavenly Sword Sect. This reminded him of a story, a new interpretation of the story of a woodcutter and a sheep herder:

One: You are a chopping wood, he is a sheep herder, you talked with him for a day, his sheep are full, where is your firewood? The woodcutter can't afford to accompany the sheep...

- Please give up your ineffective socialization!

Two: You are chopping wood, he is herding sheep, you talked with him for a day, if you learn the sheep herding skills, it turns out that the sheep are herded like this, he learned the skills of cutting wood, it turns out that the firewood should be cut like this

- Threesomes must have my teacher, and they will always remain in the state of an empty cup

Three: You are a chopper of firewood, he is a herding of sheep, you talk to him for a day, and he decides to exchange his sheep with your firewood, so you have sheep, and he also has firewood

- Equivalent exchange, don't look down on anyone, I am born to be useful

Four: You are a woodcutter, he is a sheep herder, you talked with him for a day, he introduced his customers who bought sheep to you, you introduced the customers you bought firewood to him, so your respective businesses are getting bigger and bigger

-- Resource integration is very important

Five: You are chopping wood, he is herding sheep, you talked with him for a day, you decided to cooperate together to open a whole sheep shop, your firewood roasted sheep is very delicious, his sheep is natural, a few years later your company went public

- There is no perfect individual, only a perfect team

......

In fact, when faced with the same thing, if the mentality is different, the result will be different. Shen Mo felt that he had gained a lot today. One of these miscellaneous disciples was almost fifty years old, three were in their forties, and the most talkative was a tall and thin man in his thirties. Originally, their family was not bad, and they knew a lot of things about the Duobao Kingdom and the Heavenly Sword Sect. Now they are here, at least for almost twenty years, and can they pass the time while they work?

It's like walking now, talking at the same time. It's just that their gossip is just to pass the time, and under Shen Mo's conscious guidance, he has obtained a lot of valuable information from their words.

After following these people around and around a mountain, Shen Mo couldn't take out much from the mouths of the people here, and suddenly found that they were far away from the sect, so he asked, "Is this too far away?"

"It's not far, sometimes we run farther than here, farther away than there is more dry firewood. Uncle Wang, the eldest, said. After chatting all the way, Shen Mo knew what the oldest and the most talkative person were called.

"Actually, you can cut some branches, or it won't take long for them to dry out, and you won't have to run so far. Shen Mo thought that it might be better to build some trees and save some dry firewood.

"I think you're right, and it's easy to chop wet. The talkative Wang Dang nodded, they were accustomed to chopping dead branches when they cut wood, and they never thought of cutting wet branches.

"Yes, yes, you have time, the kitchen is waiting to be used, how can you have time to chop wet. Hurry up!" Uncle Wang glared at Wang Dang, telling everyone to hurry up and work, and don't forget the most important thing. Then he said to Shen Mo: "You don't have to worry about them, just watch if there is any danger." If you see a beast coming, just call everyone together. ”

With that, they scattered and began to chop wood. On the way, Shen Mo had already heard them say that in the earliest days, the outer disciples were to protect them from being attacked by fierce beasts when they were chopping wood, and at that time, there were usually two or three outer disciples when they came out. However, after so many years, the scope of activities of the Heavenly Sword Sect continued to expand, coupled with the fact that he often hunted to improve his life, and there were no large beasts within a radius of twenty or thirty miles. But for the sake of safety, they usually send an outside disciple to stand guard and sentry, and also give them work by the way.

Seeing them scattered into the dense forest, Shen Mo had nothing to do, and wanted to walk around, but their dry food was still here. It's lunch, and if it's dragged away by a small animal, everyone will go hungry. People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. What's more, chopping firewood is not an easy job, and you have to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads in the afternoon. Thinking of this, Shen Mo could only sit next to him honestly and help them watch the dry food.

Thinking that in the martial arts training ground, the new disciples might already be following the instructor to start practicing, Shen Mo was very anxious. He was already older among his new disciples, and if he didn't hurry up and practice, he would miss the age of eighteen, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to make progress. He couldn't think of what he was practicing in the martial arts training field, and he didn't waste time far away, so he simply practiced the basic skills on the earth——- squatting horse steps.

After squatting for about a stick of incense, Shen Mo felt that his bones were soft and numb, but he continued to insist. After another half a pillar of incense or so, he couldn't hold on anymore before he stood up. Moved his body, hammered his sore legs, and took a sip of water. At this time, he also remembered those outer disciples, who had been chopping firewood for a long time, and he didn't know if he was thirsty or not, so he went up to a big stone next to him and looked around, and when he looked at it, he suddenly found that he had not heard the sound of chopping wood.

It was so quiet that there was no sound except for his breathing, and the occasional bird call or two. Shen Mo put his hands to his mouth and shouted to the right: "Uncle Wang, do you drink water?" he remembered that he had left from this place.

"Drink water, drink water......" echoed in the valley, and no sound could be heard again. Hearing the continuous echo, Shen Mo felt a sense of loneliness.
