On a hot summer day, the flames are in the air, and the air is filled with a blazing smell.

Looking down from the Wudang stone steps at the top of Huidang Ling, the blazing air waves steamed up the air, and it looked like floating water from afar, transparent but not real.

On the stone staircase of Wudang, a shirtless white-haired man carried a boulder several times his weight, and walked on the stone staircase with difficulty.

No more, no less, this is already 10,000 ladders.

The Taoist priests in Wudang are accustomed to this scene, and since the first half of the month, this little uncle's friend, who should be a young man who should be a guest of honor, often suffers by himself.

At the beginning, the Taoist priests were curious, so they would come forward to watch, or not from a distance, but after a long time, they were used to this scene, and they passed by every day, and they would not take a second look, as if there should be such a scene on the stone ladder of Wudang.

Li Chenfeng put down the boulder on his shoulder, the stone ladder made a huge sound, and he was a little weak, he took out a sackcloth wrapped in a ball from behind his waist, and after slowly opening it, it was half-eaten ginseng.

After taking a hard bite, I didn't chew too much and tasted it, and swallowed it into my stomach. It didn't take long for the originally godless eyes to ignite again, stretching their shoulders, and the sternum made a bone "clattering" sound.

The boulder was once again carried on his shoulder, and the lean but extraordinarily powerful body began to slowly move towards the top of Wudang Mountain, with each step falling, it will be accompanied by sweat dripping, like a seed planted in the ground, which will take root and sprout one day.

The verdant bamboo forest of Wudang Mountain, located in the ventilated high place on the top of the mountain, coupled with the shade of bamboo leaves, has become the best place to escape the heat in summer.

The stone table where the bamboo forest originally drank tea and talked about poetry is still there, but there are only three of the original five stone benches left.

The four people with the highest seniority in the Wudang generation are all gathered here today when they have extra free time. Zhang Weisong, the head of Wudang, was the largest, sitting on the stone bench on the far left, and so on, Gu Qiuhe, Lin Shuang.

There were only three stone benches left, and by the time of the youngest Wang Ye, there was no stool to sit on, so he had to sit on the ground, and the bamboo forest was still exceptionally cool.

"Senior brother in charge, Wudang Mountain has been robbed recently. Lin Shuang suddenly spoke, and the topic changed a little unprepared.

"Oh? But something was missing. Zhang Weisong pretended to be surprised.

"It's not a valuable item, just a few hundred-year-old ginseng. Gu Qiuhe said with a smile.

The three of them sang and said this, Wang Ye, who was sitting on the ground, had his butt like pins and needles, and he moved his butt several times to get up, and finally gave up obediently.

Isn't he the one who stole ginseng? The great tonic that enhances temperament is naturally a good thing like ginseng. Besides, how did he know that it was a hundred-year-old ginseng, which was already the smallest one, and if he took a larger one, it was not a thousand-year-old one.

Wang Ye was glad in his heart, because he couldn't fit in his pocket, so he didn't take a big one, otherwise Brother Li would have to explode and die if he ate it.

"Little junior brother, have you found any suspicious thieves in Wudang?" Gu Qiuhe asked with a smile.

Wang Ye's heart was beating, and he turned his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "I've been squatting in the back mountain all day, how can I see it, the second senior brother asked the wrong person." ”

"That's right. Gu Qiuhe looked at the little junior brother with a nervous look, and nodded knowingly.

Our little uncle nodded and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"How's Li Xiaoyou's progress lately?" Zhang Weisong said.

"I am still training on the ladder, and now I have climbed 10,000 steps, and I am afraid that there will be more by the end of today. Lin Shuang said.

"Qiuhe, does this method work?" Zhang Weisong asked as if deliberately.

Gu Qiuhe didn't know what the senior brother in charge meant, so he took his breath and said with a smile: "It's somewhat useful, but it's still something missing." ”

The little uncle who pricked up his ears to listen heard that the crucial link was suddenly gone, and couldn't help but ask, "What is it?" ”

The three senior brothers looked at each other and smiled, making Wang Ye wonder.

"Qi!"

"Qi?" Wang Ye muttered to himself.

After that, no effective news was confided, and the afternoon tea time passed quickly, and the three real people who were chatting comfortably left together. Our little uncle Wudang also went to the back mountain.

At this time of the day, I always have to go to the back mountain to eat, as if everything has become a habit.

Li Chenfeng returned to the back mountain early, and was soaking in the pool water to clean his body, the bewitching and beautiful woman, as always, cooked salty porridge, not fast or slow, but as usual.

The shameless young Taoist priest who came to eat naturally attracted a burst of white eyes from the woman.

It seems that Wang Ye, who has long been accustomed to it, has already had a deep skin, and with a fake smile, he went to the pond.

"Brother Li, I have good news for you. Wang Ye's figure immersed in the water shouted.

The water floated, Li Chenfeng poked his head out of the water, and then slowly walked to the shore, and the explosive lean body showed out little by little from the bottom of the water.

"What good news can make you happy like this. Li Chenfeng wiped a handful of water droplets on his face.

"This afternoon, I happened to hear the second senior brother mention the method of splitting the stone. ”

Li Chenfeng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "What way?"

"Gas. ”

"Qi?" The familiar and unfamiliar words made Li Chenfeng momentarily at a loss, and he could understand the meaning there.

"It's as simple as that. Li Chenfeng said.

Wang Ye said: "Well, that's what the second senior brother said, and the rest is gone." ”

Li Chenfeng, who looked confused, got up and walked around the stone bench by the pond, and even reached out to touch it, obviously without any thoughts.

"You've been training for so long, why don't you try the results?" Wang Ye suggested.

Li Chenfeng also had this thought, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find the sword with a broken blade, and then he remembered that after falling into the water that day, he never salvaged it.

Li Chenfeng, who jumped into the pool again, found nothing at the shallow water's edge, so he could only reluctantly expand inward, although the pool was not big, but the deeper he went, and finally dived into the water completely.

The pool is clearly visible under the water, and then the faint cold light, the outline of the bottom of the pool can be vaguely seen, and the long sword with white light can be seen at the bottom of the pool, which is particularly obvious in the dark sight.

Li Chenfeng slammed into the water, changed a top-down posture in the water, and swam towards the bottom of the pool with his legs, which seemed to be only a few meters away, but the air pressure that was about to explode made people slow down.

After wasting the strength of the nine oxen and two tigers, he held the long sword at the bottom of the pool in his hand, and then hurriedly went upstream.

Poking his head out of the water, Li Chenfeng gasped for breath, walked to the shore weakly, and lay on the shore not wanting to move again.

After resting for a while, barely recovering his strength, Li Chenfeng picked up the remnant sword and came to the indestructible stone bench, wanting to have a long-lost verification competition.

Li Chenfeng held the sword in both hands, raised it high above his head, and then slashed it down at the stone bench.

There was a crashing sound, and a spark was particularly visible in the dark night, leaving a cut mark on the indestructible stone bench, but it was only a centimeter.

The huge residual force generated by the impact of the sword stone not only made Li Chenfeng uncomfortable, but also broke through the tiger's mouth in the palm of his hand, and blood was left along the palm.

Li Chenfeng, who shook his palm, stepped forward to check the efforts of nearly a month, although there were some gains, but they were too far from the goal. Not to mention the smoothness of the facet, it is very different from the situation of Gu Qiuhe at that time.

If you really make a metaphor, then one is a rough man with brute strength, and the other is a brilliant immortal.

Wang Ye circled around the stone bench twice, and said incomprehensibly: "What is wrong?"

Li Chenfeng is also worried, what people are afraid of is not their own efforts, but that there is no effect after hard work, and it is the saddest thing to stop moving.

"Either the power is still not enough. Wang Ye pinched his chin and analyzed.

And Li Chenfeng thought the opposite, since Gu Qiuhe said that it was related to "qi", there must be something related to it.

Carrying the stone across the ladder is not without effect, although subtle but obviously part of the right path, and the most important thing is "qi"!

Li Chenfeng remembered that Old Man Gu had said that the qi machine was the same thing as the "qi" in the mouth of the Gu Qiu River.

Li Chenfeng, who shook his head, overturned this idea, sat on the ground in distress, picked up the stones on the shore of the water, and threw them into the water one by one.

The stones thrown far away made a peculiar sound, and the timbre of the "bang" made a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Li Chenfeng, who turned his head suddenly, startled Wang Ye.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ye said as he looked at the man with a radiant face.

"Tomorrow it's time for us to train differently!"
