Chapter 454: The Woodcutter Says
The sun is setting.
On the edge of the wooden house in the Yin Yang Valley.
One man, one sword, one pile of firewood, and one pig.
The person is Jiang Yichen, who is blindfolded by reed leaves.
The sword was a wooden sword that had been sharpened yesterday morning and was now dull.
Firewood is the firewood that Leng Mei cut from the mountains and fields to burn the fire in the past.
The pig is the little wild boar.
The big round eyes stared at the sword rising and falling, and the barrel-like head couldn't help but move with the rhythm, very intoxicated.
Ah Bai doesn't know when he started to become unproductive, but he is with this guy every day.
For this guy who suddenly appeared, Ah Bai was indignant for several days, after all, as soon as this guy came, the time for the master to walk himself was greatly reduced, and the time was less, and the food was poor, so he couldn't bear it, but the master was the master after all, and the master worked hard for a while, and he deducted it, oh no, he didn't have the time to give himself some delicious food, can you blame the master? No, you can only blame this guy!
Fortunately, this guy still had a face, and he didn't let the master continue to serve and eat and drink on the bed for too long, so he honestly moved on his own, and he only changed his opinion of this guy a little bit from then on.
Since then, his life has only been back on track, and it wasn't long before he became his master and his follower.
It's a pity that the master doesn't like to see this fart worm, always hit him with things, even uses stones, and lets himself play tricks on him, and then the master even personally comes to teach him a lesson, so that he is not only bruised and purple, but is simply covered in blood, okay?
What a poor fellow.
I have never been a pig overflowing with compassion, and it can be seen that this guy is so disliked by his master that he has been punished every day since five days ago to chop 300 firewood before dinner, which really makes the pig feel pity!
Yes, not just split, but clean!
In the past, when going to chop firewood, regardless of the thickness of the firewood, the owner could always cut all the firewood into the general length without a thin branch branch, and tied it neatly behind the back, without affecting the action.
But since the master decided to punish this guy, the master always cut back less firewood every time than before, because these firewood not only have different thicknesses, but also different lengths, and the branches on the firewood are still there, and it is not easy to tie and carry it.
No, every time this guy walks back with firewood on his back, he grins and stumbles, compared to the master, it is really a waste of firewood.
So, as long as he saw his master go back to the house to prepare dinner, and did not pay attention to the situation outside, he would come to accompany the poor waste wood.
It was raised by the master, and the liver and gallbladder should be taken care of, right?
As long as the owner is not there, this pig will accompany you!
At first, this guy was quite unreliable, chopping firewood on firewood, often chopping crookedly, making small firewood fly around, what's going on?
It's dangerous, right?
This pig is right next to it!
Split crookedly, split crookedly, you still split empty!
It really scared the pig!
This guy is simply blind, okay?
Well, this guy is really blind.
That pig can only be a little further away from you, five steps, uh no, fifteen steps away!
Fortunately, this guy is thin-skinned enough, and he is brave after being ashamed, and at the end of this day, he would have to split two meals of effort, but gradually he can finish it without one meal.
Finally, I don't have to wait hungry with the owner and myself.
In addition to the increased speed, the quality is also much better, at least there is no more splitting, and seven out of ten firewood can be evenly split in half.
Listening to this guy chopping wood today, he still has his own rhythm.
With a thud, the wood was lifted to the stone by him.
Whew!
The branches on the four sides of the firewood are cut off one by one.
With two pops, the upper and lower ends of the firewood were shaved flat.
With a bang, the firewood split in two.
Da la, fell to the ground.
Then he pulled his foot to the side, and it rattled.
Then the same process was repeated.
Ah Bai didn't know what the mystery of these sounds was, but when they were connected, he unconsciously fell into the same rhythm.
First the eyeballs moved, then the head, then the body also shook, then the buttocks twisted, and the tail also flicked up, which was very sensitive.
Ah Bai knows that in the future, in addition to eating, sleeping, and walking, I am afraid that it will be much the same, that is, watching the guy chop firewood.
......
......
Boom!
Whew!
Poof!
Hello!
Da La!
Whew!
Jiang Yichen didn't know that Ah Bai had so many feelings in his heart, but the kung fu before dinner was short and long, and it was not bad to be accompanied by pigs.
Of course, Jiang Yichen's more attention is still on chopping firewood.
This is the new homework that Leng Mei assigned to him five days ago.
This homework may seem simple, but it is also a small integration of daily training including speed, reflexes, strength control, etc., which is small but extremely elegant.
Before the bang, Jiang Yichen had to accurately pull out a piece of firewood from the pyre.
Jiang Yichen's hands are ordinary people's hands, so the firewood drawn from the pyre at a time will only be one instead of two, but the number of pyres is decreasing, and with his extraction, the appearance of the pyre will also change.
When the firewood makes a sound when it comes into contact with the surface of the stone, Jiang Yichen needs to judge whether the sound is light or heavy, clear or turbid?
If you whisper, it means that the firewood taken out does not get wet.
If the sound is a little heavy, it means that the firewood has been stained with water even if it is not wet.
It is clear, which means that the firewood is generally intact, there are no cracks, and it has not entered the sand.
Otherwise, it is turbid.
In addition, the level of this sound can also be used to confirm whether the mass measured by hand is correct.
If the deviation is small, it means that the tactile and auditory judgments are the same, and after the four swords cut off the thin branches on the firewood surface, the two swords at the upper and lower ends only need to be cut thinly.
If the deviation is too large, then you have to cut off the longer two sections to ensure that the firewood is about the same length.
And the first four swords and the last two swords need to be completed in the air in an instant, and the speed of this sword is not difficult for Jiang Yichen, but it is necessary to control that the firewood will not be taken away by this force when each sword is chopped, and the fineness of the force control is self-evident.
With the foundation of the first six swords, it is relatively simple for this seventh sword to be divided into two.
But only relatively speaking, Jiang Yichen also spent five nights of hard training, and familiarity makes perfect, so that each sword could divide a firewood in half.
The step of chopping firewood has ended after the seventh sword is slashed, and its sense of rhythm is a certain rhythm derived from Jiang Yichen's immersion in this state and blended with the laws of nature.
Jiang Yichen himself didn't notice this, and Leng Mei, who was seriously preparing dinner, hadn't noticed it, only Ah Bai was the first to find out.
In short, the new subject of chopping firewood seems to be a rough job, but the requirements are extremely delicate.
The intention is to mobilize the various senses of the body to fill all the visual functions of the original eyes and communicate with the outside world.
The reason why it is said to be filling is that the eyes are not omnipotent when communicating with the outside world.
Eye communication can go wrong.
The presence of viewing angle errors and natural factors can deceive the eye, such as a mirage.
When Jiang Yichen was ambushed by Yin Li, Yin Li's glimpse steps made Jiang Yichen unable to see his traces, and Jiang Yichen also relied on fully mobilizing his senses, hearing, and smells of the surrounding environment after closing his eyes, and capturing the abnormal movements in order to defeat the enemy with one blow.
Of course, it is extremely inconvenient to communicate with the outside world without eyes, if not impossible.
After all, the eyes are the most intuitive way to communicate with the outside world, and they can respond directly in the next moment, without having to form an image in the mind through hearing, smell, or feeling.
What Jiang Yichen is doing now is to let other senses communicate intuitively with the outside world through training, or to form the fastest response after letting other senses communicate with the outside world, that is, instinct.
......
......
The days in the Valley of Yin and Yang are monotonous and boring.
Nothing seems to have changed.
But everything seems to be quietly changing.
Leng Mei could clearly feel that Ah Bai in his arms had gained a small pound of flesh, but his body was not fat, but strong.
Jiang Yichen's daily confrontation with Leng Mei has never stopped regardless of wind and rain, and I don't know when Leng Mei's swordsmanship of the third-rate swordsman can no longer win.
can only change to a pair of wooden double thorns to re-crush Jiang Yichen.
During this time, the poison of the blinded sand was only flare-up once.
During this third episode, the pain in the eyes lasted less than one cup of tea, and compared to the second time, the pain was halved and the treatment effect was remarkable.
Ten days later, the fourth attack of the blinding sand poison was delayed, and the blinding sand Gu worms in the eyes had been almost eliminated.
It took five days for Jiang Yichen to wake up in his sleep at night from the pain caused by the attack of the blinding sand poison.
This time the pain lasted for a shorter time, and it was not enough for Jiang Yichen to alarm Leng Mei, who was already asleep.
When Leng Mei changed Jiang Yichen's dressing in the early morning of the next day, Jiang Yichen was surprised and pleasantly surprised to find that he could already feel the light outside the house.
It's a pity that when Leng Mei took a stone and put it in front of his nose, his eyes were still just chaos, and he couldn't see the shape and size of the stone, so he couldn't see the beauty again after many years.
Jiang Yichen can only continue to treat and train with peace of mind, waiting for the day when he will truly see the light of day.
It wasn't until three days later that the Yin Yang Valley finally ushered in a drastic change.
ushered in the third living person in addition to Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen!
