What is a weapon?

Master Qi Yuanzi had already noticed Xiao's gaze out of the corner of his eye, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his wrinkled cheeks, but he didn't speak, just beat himself harder and harder.

"That, old man ......"

I don't know how long it took to observe, but Xiao finally turned around from his gaze and asked a little timidly.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Master Qi Yuanzi turned his head to look at him, and then turned back to continue the work at hand.

"There's one thing I don't understand......," Xiao finally mustered up the courage and respectfully asked, "How did you do it, and every hammer landed on the same point accurately?"

"You strike iron?" Master Qi Yuanzi deliberately calmed down and continued to say casually: "Is this difficult? ”

"When the juniors were cutting down the pine trees, they had obviously tried their best to aim, but the accuracy was always off...... Xiao said honestly, "Originally, if the cut was accurate, the work that could be completed in one hour took the juniors more than three hours...... Therefore, I dare to ask my seniors for advice, how can I master the skills of cutting trees?"

"You're telling the truth...... Master Qi Yuanzi smiled, but he still didn't raise his head.

He was silent for a moment, and when he saw Xiao on the side, he couldn't hold his breath and was about to ask a second time, when he suddenly said:

"How do you think you cut down trees?"

Xiao was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said without thinking:

"Of course it was cut down with an axe!"

"Give up this shallow idea...... "Master Qi Yuanzi said quietly, "so that you can quickly find the trick." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao was stunned, not with an axe, what was that used for?

Is it a mind? or a head?

"What the seniors said is too profound...... Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The juniors are stupid, I really can't understand ......"

"Take the axe and go outside and swing it a thousand times," Master Qi Yuanzi said indifferently, "If you still can't figure it out after swinging it a thousand times, then ......"

"You're going to tell me?" interjected Shaw.

"No," Master Qi Yuanzi shook his head indifferently, "then wave it a thousand more times until you understand." ”

"I ......" Xiao was speechless for a while, "the juniors don't want to know if it's okay..."

"You went out by yourself...... Master Qi Yuanzi raised his head coldly and looked at him, "...... Or let the old man kick you out again?"

Okay......

I didn't learn the skills, and I got into another chore.

Xiao walked to the courtyard with his head down, took off his coat, and skillfully threw it onto the branches.

The soreness in the shoulders and arms had not subsided, and the gauze-clad flesh was in hot pain as soon as it was held vigorously, and it was a painful ordeal to pick up the heavy iron axe under such circumstances.

But Xiao had no choice but to tie his horse away, hold his heavy axe, and begin to swing aimlessly into the air.

One time......

Double-click......

Three times ......

At the same time, for some reason, the tone of the iron striking in the room suddenly changed, and I don't know if Master Qi Yuanzi changed the material of the hammering, or also changed a method of exercising gong.

The evening breeze mixed with snowflakes blew gently, and the dim sunset fell silent little by little. And Xiao in the courtyard also endured the exhaustion and pain, and had swung more than a hundred times in a row, each axe becoming more difficult than the other.

What is it...... What the hell can you come up with like this!

Is it a shallow mistake to chop down with an axe......? Not with an ax, with what?

It feels like being teased......

The more Xiao thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he swung it to the third hundredth, he couldn't help but roar and slash at the air in front of him!

Whoosh –

Sure enough, the muscles hurt too much, and the force was too strong, and the heavy iron axe suddenly slipped out of the palm of his hand and flew out like lightning!

Snort –

The iron axe eventually fell in an arc to a corner of the courtyard, sliding a long ravine over the thick layer of snow.

"What a damn ......"

Xiao slapped his head in frustration, but he still had to walk over in frustration, bend down, and reach for the handle of the axe—

"Huh?"

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, perhaps too tired, obviously aimed at the handle of the axe, but after a grasp, he pounced.

Originally, it was a casual thing, but in Xiao's eyes today, it is easy to think of the scene when he cut down trees before.

Vision...... Drop?

Xiao picked up the axe in a daze, held it in his hand and examined it carefully.

No......

It's not that simple......

Xiao stood in silence for a long, long time......

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and thoughts came like a tide, and Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"I see!"

At this time, the darkness was completely dark, he rushed to the door of the house, and subconsciously wanted to push the door open and walk in, but found that at some point, the door of the stone house was actually bolted from the inside by Master Qi Yuanzi.

"Senior, open the door!" Xiao slapped the door panel with some excitement, "I understand!

"Oh, what do you understand?" shouted for a long time, and then the door of the house was slowly opened, and Master Qi Yuanzi held his majestic chest, squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao indifferently.

"I see, when you cut down trees, it's not the axe that you use—" Xiao said breathlessly, "but your own body!"

"Oh, then look. Master Qi Yuanzi calmly looked at Xiao's face and said slowly.

"It's like holding an axe, you can't catch it if you go a little forward or down...... Xiao swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "So in the final analysis, it's not the axe that can't cut the tree, it's my body!"

"Come in...... It's almost to the point......" Master Qi Yuanzi turned to the side without any surprise, "really...... It's the first time I've had to think about such a simple question for so long, and it's the first time I've met someone as stupid as you who can live for so long!"

"Hehe...... Xiao scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and walked quickly into the house.

"The reason is very simple......" But before he could sit down, he heard the loud voice of Master Qi Yuanzi behind him:

"The so-called weapon is an extension of our body!"

Did you start talking about dry goods so quickly?

Xiao's body shook slightly, but he also hurriedly sat upright and listened carefully.

Master Qi Yuanzi picked up a machete hanging on the wall and swung it out vigorously: "It can be your hand, it can be your foot!"

"Even ......" stretched the machete high above his head: "It could be your eyes!"

Xiao held his breath and concentrated, through the firelight and the smooth knife surface in the house, he could indeed clearly see the condensed pieces of dust in the dead corners of the beams!

"No matter how strong the power of the human body is, no matter how fast it is, it has some ......limitations after all," Master Qi Yuanzi said in a deep voice, "And the so-called weapon is the existence that breaks this limitation! Make you faster, farther, and stronger!"

"The reason why people in the world pick up weapons is because they want to pursue breakthroughs in strength and explore the limits of strength! And they can't learn weapons well and skillfully because they make the same mistake every one of them......

Master Qi Yuanzi stared, suddenly his eyes froze, and the firewood knife in his hand flew out like lightning, Xiao's body shook, and before he had time to react, he already noticed that the cold was rubbing against his scalp, and then he heard a crisp sound behind him.

He looked back and saw that a clay pot on the ledge behind him had been broken!

At this time, Master Qi Yuanzi slowly retracted his body and said the last sentence:

“...... None of them considered weapons to be part of their bodies!"

"The ...... of the body Part ......"

Xiao repeated in a daze.

"Therefore, the moment you pick up the weapon, what you want to do cannot be pinned on the reliance on the weapon......" Master Qi Yuanzi turned around and began to pound the iron again, and the crisp sound that he heard for the first time echoed in the stone house again.

"In the end, it will always be my own body...... Xiao spread out his palms and looked at his hands with a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, that's it," Master Qi Yuanzi turned his back to him and said in a deep voice:

"It doesn't matter if you have an axe or a stick in your hand, always remember these two points, son, believe the old man, and there will be no mistake in this way. ”

"Yes...... Thank you seniors, the juniors have been taught...... Xiao stood up, made a deep gesture at the tall back of Master Qi Yuanzi, and then turned around and wanted to push the door out.

"In addition, there is one more thing, you also listen to the old man......"

A second before the wind and snow poured into the wooden house, the deep voice of the old man suddenly sounded behind Xiao.

"Ahh......h

He was stunned, turned his head blankly, and saw that the old man didn't raise his head, but his voice was still majestic and loud, even in the face of the whirring wind and snow, Xiao could hear it clearly:

"Don't treat weapons like a piece of cold broken iron......"

"Since it is a part of your body, you must understand that it also has pain and feelings, and you must treat your weapon as if it were real flesh and blood, and treat it well......"

Xiao nodded and said, "The younger generation understands ......."

"No, you don't understand...... Master Qi Yuanzi raised his head and looked at him deeply:

"If you knew, you wouldn't have thrown the axe out in anger!"

When Xiao heard this, his face immediately turned red.

"That's it for this time, but if there is a next time...... Master Qi Yuanzi's tone gradually became cold and terrifying:

"The old man will definitely teach you a good lesson!"
