Chapter 23: Cultivation I
"Isn't that rhubarb not like a male dog, can it be willing?"
"Alas!" Xiao Siyan shook his head and sighed, "Master... No, I'm also the first day of Nanshan, and as soon as the coercion is released, how can a mere hound be able to resist, but the earth dog wilted on the spot, and I was angry and gave it a look at the time - it's not promising, I don't know if I give you a beautiful girl!"
"Alas, you don't know, at that time, the flower dog's voice was hoarse and he couldn't make much noise, tsk, that's called a miserable ......" Looking at his **** expression, Mu Qing's emotions of wanting to beat him became stronger and stronger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She kowtowed to me and begged for mercy, and said that she liked Sun Orion...... I wondered at the time, don't you want to let so many young puppies go, do you have to like an old bachelor? Alas! This world is going down, and the dog's heart is not ancient......
"Then what about later, how could you fail?" Although he knew that no indescribable things had happened, Mu Qing's **silk nature still made him can't wait to know the result, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of the old ape Yun looking at the wooden slip lightly, and couldn't help but blush the old face, alas... The concentration is still insufficient! Gaffe, gaffe!
"You think I'm like something...... Uh-huh! Buying and selling like that!" After speaking, Xiao Siyan glanced at the old ape defiantly, and found that the other party was looking at Mu Jian with some doubts, and he felt bored, so he had to continue to speak:
"I was about to talk to her about the dog, but she somehow broke away and called the whole village up at once. I can only watch her go home with Sun Orion, who told Grandpa Ape to keep me from being exposed...... It's really hurt the demon heart, forget it, I'm going to help Sister Xiaobai do the task. Without waiting for the old ape to speak, he turned and went out. Before going out, I added:
"By the way, the flower dog of Sun Orion's family seems to have become a sperm!" After saying that, he disappeared from the door.
Hearing his last sentence, the old ape felt a little surprised, "I see, no wonder Sun Orion's wooden slip is missing......"
Mu Qing looked at the old ape's indifferent appearance, and was a little puzzled: "Hound Chengjing, don't we need to do something?"
The old ape was a little surprised, "What to do, this kind of people who have been raised since childhood, are no longer considered demons, after their deaths, their souls return to the underworld, and they do not enter the demon court; ”
The next time was a bit difficult, after all, Mu Qing didn't dare to ask this and that like he did with Xiao Siyan, he could only sit on the shrine and listen to the old ape reminisce about the past, and by the way, he extracted what he wanted to know from it.
Before noon, the little demons returned one after another, and the old ape did not issue any more tasks, which made Mu Qing a little puzzled, he was still very fragile now, why did the old ape stop?
The old ape didn't explain, so the little demons foraged for food on their own, and brought him fruits and vegetables in the mountains by the way, and when the little demons gathered again, the old ape's thin arm waved, and dozens of monsters, along with Mu Qing, walked "mightily" to the ruins near the broken temple - the open space in front.
Mu Qing's body was fragile, the old ape was kind enough to find a means of transportation for him-Xiao Siyan, under the vicious coercion and temptation of the old ape, Xiao Siyan reluctantly lowered his body, let Mu Qing sit down smoothly, and then steadily followed the large army and walked forward slowly.
Sitting on the little demon's wide back, Mu Qing was indescribably comfortable, and secretly swore in his heart that he must find a comfortable means of transportation in the future!
The next thing made Mu Qing a little embarrassed--after the old ape settled him, he began to explain the way of cultivation in the eager eyes of the little demons, and also tutored the little white wolf alone by the way! He couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, only caring about himself, but forgetting that the little demons also have to practice to increase their own strength, in the novels he had read, no matter which world, strength is the first thing after all, and no wonder he often feels cold behind his back--delay the cultivation of others, it should be so!
The old ape's explanation was very detailed, and the little demons listened attentively, and then he began to use yesterday's battle as an example to talk about the use of power.
"In yesterday's battle, you will probably be a little unconvinced: obviously you surpass me in strength, size and demon power at least in one aspect, but you are still beaten to the ground by my bad old man?"
The little demons stared at the old ape, and although some of them were humming angrily, their ears had already been propped up.
"To tell you the truth, if those old guys in the mountains find out about this, I'm afraid they will laugh off their big teeth -- is it interesting to bully a group of demon beasts that only make brute force? Why? Because real demons are not only opening their minds and spitting out words, but more importantly, understanding and using their powers!"
The old ape paused, but did not explain directly as before, but walked into the woods, and although the little demons did not know what he was going to do, they still got up one by one to follow.
The old ape quickly stopped in front of a big tree, Mu Qing looked at it, this tree was about fifty centimeters in diameter, extremely tall - in this kind of dense forest of ancient trees, the only result of dwarf is withering and dying!
The old ape looked up and down the tree, apparently pleased with the tree, and then he stopped in front of the trunk, took a deep breath, and shouted at the little demons, "Little cubs, take care of it!" and punched out.
With a "click", the trunk cracked wide, and with a tooth-aching creak and the crackling of broken branches, the tree fell with a bang, making the earth tremble.
The little demons were afraid of being affected, so they fled one after another, and only regrouped after the tree fell to the ground, and the eyes that looked at the old ape also became a little awe-inspiring.
The old ape clapped his hands and ordered the little demons to look at the trunk section. After the little demon finished reading it in turn, the old ape gave an order: "Now, no matter what method you use, each of you must prepare a two-foot-long wooden stake for me (about 23cm from Zhou to Qin and Han Dynasty), and gather on the grass after half an hour!"
The little demons hurriedly took action, claws and teeth, using everything, some still wanted to learn from the old ape, gathered strength, and slapped it with one palm, but only a shallow claw mark was left, and then looked around and left, and began to be tired of hard logging.
Mu Qing also took advantage of this opportunity to step forward and look at the stump standing alone on the ground at the moment. I saw that the wood was extremely compact and fine, and the layers of dense annual rings were so dense that Mu Qing's eyes could not judge the age of this tree at all, and if he felt it a little harder, it was almost harder than a stone, Mu Qing couldn't help but think: If this kind of tree is put on the earth, I don't know what price it will sell for!
Then he slapped himself in the face, and then he looked closely, and then found that the section of the tree was relatively flat, and the texture of the tree condensed in the place where the old ape hit, and then radiated and spread backwards, like an explosion, tearing the entire trunk apart. Seeing this, he couldn't help but be in awe of the thin and withered old ape.
Outside the woods, the old apes are lying on the grass with their legs crossed enjoying the spring sun. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to stay in the woods.
After about two hours, the little demons were really tired like dogs, Mu Qing couldn't bear to see it, and he was even more curious about this kind of tree, how hard and sturdy the wood is, so that this group of goblins who can even cut through the rocks are tired like this!
There were only a few youkai on the grass who had completed their tasks, and they were lying on the grass panting for breath at the moment.
The old ape was not surprised by this, and as if the result was what he expected, he walked into the woods with his hands behind his back. There was already a place lying on the ground at this time, and only a few of them were still there, slowly rubbing the trunk with their paws, but Mu Qing felt that it was more like an unconscious move, because those few had already closed their eyes due to the excessive consumption caused by the violent action in the early stage.
The old ape waited for them to regain some strength and began to gather to explain.
"As you all know, this is a xiao, a wilderness tree, and the wood is particularly tough. And this tree has grown here for tens of thousands of years, and you know how tenacious it is. I ask you to do this so that you understand: do what you can!"
"Of course, this is not for you to learn to give up, but for you to learn to control your strength and rhythm. With your strength, you have already cut off the wood in an hour, but why are only a few of them completed? It is because you are competing in front of you and using too much force, resulting in the weakness of the back! If you control your strength and speed well, you can easily complete the task!"
"Okay, this is to tell a truth, so that you can understand and apply it for yourself in the future. You regain your strength first, and then move the stake to the clearing. ”
With that, he walked to the tree, first closed his eyes and stood still, then relaxed his body to adjust his breathing, and when he opened his eyes again, a shallow shadow had extended from his right hand. The old ape's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he moved quickly along the body of the tree and waved his hand, an afterimage flashed, and the old ape was already at the end of the tree at the moment, with his back to everyone as if he was looking at the scenery, and the straight tree body behind him was scattered into wooden piers of similar length and width!
At this time, the eyes of the little demons are no longer respectful and can be described, they are simply fanatical worship, as if they were burned by these blazing heat, the old ape coughed in a low voice, and said in a low tone: "This is just the application of the demon qi out of the body in the middle stage of the demon pawn, and you will naturally master the application at that time." If you have enough demonic power and control over your power, you won't be able to cut through an ancient tree in the spirit stage, but it will be easy to deal with this kind of branch. ”
With a slight wave of his arm, a thigh-thick branch fell to the ground, with a section as smooth as a mirror, like a tree stump on the ground. The breeze blew, blowing the gray hair on his body, and he looked like a lonely master like snow.
Mu Qing's heart was shocked and mixed with envy, this is the high realm of pretending, being able to use the power skills of the next realm freely, and by the way, it can also deter and encourage this group of goblins, it seems that the old ape who is not good-looking on weekdays is not as simple as Xiao Four-Eyes said, and he lives to a dog at an age.
"Alright, let's all rest, hurry up and get the wood outside and wait......!
Although the voice still sounded so harsh, Mu Qing felt that there was something missing from the old ape's voice.
A group of wolf cubs didn't care about this, and the monsters who were still lying on their stomachs or lying like dead dogs jumped up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood after the old ape showed such a hand, and happily rolled the wooden pier out.
When Mu Qing walked behind the old ape, he found that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface, at this time, the old ape's whole body was trembling slightly and violently, and the hands behind his back were bruised, and they were clenched together, if it weren't for the just right gust of wind before, the little demons would have discovered his fragility.
Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and held the old ape with both hands, only to see that he was sweating profusely, his brows were almost wrinkled together, and his teeth were still making a "gurgling" sound, he looked back, and through the dense woods, he could vaguely see the active figure in the sun, and then he said to the old ape with confidence: "It's okay, they are all out, you shouldn't be able to see this place from the outside." ”
