"Yes!" Zhou Xing replied affirmatively, and Bai Huatang also nodded.
"Okay, I have encountered a rare spiritual root physique that can only be seen in ten thousand years. I, the martial arts madman, will not be reborn in this life anymore. Let's quickly become a disciple!" Chen Youren still insisted on accepting him as his apprentice, which moved Zhou Xing very much. Obviously Chen Youren knew about this kind of useless spiritual root that was rare to see in ten thousand years.
Zhou Xing said no more, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Chen Youren didn't mind that he was a useless spirit, and he insisted on accepting him as his disciple. Just like his grandfather, he must practice martial arts well and live up to his good intentions.
"Master, I myself know what non-attribute spiritual roots are. I will definitely break the so-called shackles. If God doesn't allow me, I will poke a hole in the sky with the spear in my hand!" Zhou Xing said what he was holding back in his heart. For a long time, he showed no sign of surrender and was full of fighting spirit. He looked nothing like a thirteen-year-old child.
"Okay, okay! My martial arts disciple is crazier than me. It seems that the two of us are really destined!"
Bai Huatang was also shocked. It seemed that this boy would become a great person. If he could really break away from the shackles of heaven and earth, the result would be unimaginable. He didn't know why he had a good impression of this little guy at first and was very optimistic about him.
"Uncle Master, I have found such a good apprentice for you, you have to give me a taste of the hero's blood you have collected!" Bai Huatang said with a smile.
"What a beautiful thought, Xiaoqi, don't even think about it! Go back quickly, I'm going to teach my apprentice how to practice!" This hero's blood was brewed by Madman Wu after a lot of effort, and he couldn't let it go. This guy Bai Xiaoqi was a waste.
"You're so stingy. If you don't want to drink, I won't drink. Why are you looking for so many excuses? I'm leaving!"
"Junior brother, I still have a lot of things to do. I will leave today and come to see you another day. By the way, you must get your master's wine out. As long as you take a sip, you will never forget it!"
"Thank you!" He was very grateful to Bai Huatang, who had been helping him from the beginning. He is always smiling, never puts on airs about himself, and is approachable.
"Let's go. Even though our Madman Valley is huge, I'm actually the only one here. The reason why I live here is to keep it quiet." Chen Youren said.
Walking on the path of Madman Valley, the beautiful scenery relaxed Zhou Xing's body and mind. The road paved with stones was lined with patches of flowers and plants. Madman Wu introduced to Zhou Xing that these were herbs he grew himself.
Amidst the fragrance of flowers and plants, the two continued to move forward. Suddenly, a stream appeared in front of them. At the end of the stream was a waterfall falling from the mountain. The water gasped quickly, and the falling water hit the rocks below and scattered a large number of water droplets. These water drops gathered in a deep pool below. After passing the deep pool, this winding stream flowed out. It was called a stream, but the water flow was very large and wide.
As the road continued forward, Zhou Xing looked at the scenery in the valley dizzy, thinking that it would be great to live in a place like this in the future. He silently regarded this place as his home.
When the two stopped, an extremely tall tree appeared in front of them. The tree stood like a tall tower in the middle of the woods. It's hard to describe it as a tower. It was so big that it looked like a mountain peak from a distance. , it looked so outstanding. Zhou Xing had never seen such a big tree before, and he didn’t know how it could grow so big.
"Shocked, aren't you?" Madman Wu said.
"Master, what kind of tree is this? Why does it grow so tall?"
"This is the only spiritual root in the world. It is a spiritual tree. It was left in Mount Li by a strong man thousands of years ago. He has witnessed the prosperity and history of Mount Li for thousands of years." Madman Wu introduced it to Zhou Xing. road.
"Master, he's been thousands of years old, doesn't he have spiritual wisdom? Doesn't it mean that flowers, trees, and ferocious beasts can practice transformation? He has the spiritual root of heaven and earth, can't he transform?" Zhou Xing asked in surprise. .
"He has his own consciousness now. It took thousands of years to barely form consciousness. Because of the constraints of heaven and earth, he cannot easily transform. Speaking of which, his experience is the same as yours. His conditions are so good, but there are heaven and earth. There are obstacles, but I believe you will break through." Madman Wu looked at Zhou Xing calmly.
"Don't worry, master!"
"By the way, you said he is already conscious. Have you communicated with him?" Zhou Xing asked curiously.
"After we communicated, he only has the wisdom of a two- or three-year-old. He told me that as long as he meets his chance, he will definitely succeed in transforming!"
"Yes, you have to have a chance!"
"He said that he had the opportunity to be alone, but there have been few people living here for tens of thousands of years. The only people who can be here are the strongest people in Lishan, but he didn't pay attention to any of them until you appeared. I believe You are what he calls a destined person!" Madman Wu said to Zhou Xing.
"Master, are you kidding? You and those seniors are so powerful, it's not his chance. Stop talking about me!"
Zhou Xing felt extremely sympathetic to this spiritual root of heaven and earth. Who can understand the loneliness of tens of thousands of years? It's okay not to have consciousness, but once you have thoughts, it is such a painful thing. He has to endure the constraints of heaven and earth, but he cannot transform into another form after all. He has been standing here waiting for his destined person for countless days. Can I endure this loneliness? No, you can't, you must change. No matter whether you are the one he is destined for or not, you must find your own opportunity.
"That's not necessarily true. Let's talk about it later. He has always been sleeping and only wakes up once every few hundred years. The last time he woke up he talked to me for a long time. Maybe he is really lonely!" Madman Wu said to Zhou Xing. .
"Let's go, I'll take you to where you live!" He led Zhou Xing towards the spiritual root.
"Master, do we want to live in him?" Zhou Xing pointed to the spiritual root.
"Yes, you are so smart! There is a two-story wooden house on the spiritual root. I usually live on the second floor. I will clean up that floor later. You can live there from now on!"
"Then we are just like monkeys, we have to crawl away!" Living in a tree is so fun, Zhou Xing is looking forward to it. After all, he is still young and is curious about everything.
"Don't look at living in a tree, but you will know the benefits if you live up there. It is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of Tianquan Peak where your senior brother lives is not half as rich as this one. You kid got an advantage and acted like a good boy! Crazy Wu said angrily, am I a monkey?
What's the use of strong spiritual energy? I don't dare to use spiritual energy easily. Do I have to give up such a good resource? I really feel sorry for my starry body. When I have time, I must ask the master what he can do!
Zhou Xing felt depressed and anxious at the moment, why he could encounter any good thing by himself, but in the end he couldn't enjoy it, just like the braised pork that had just been delivered to his mouth fell on the ashes. If spiritual energy could be introduced, the speed and realm of cultivation would be unimaginable, but I still can't be anxious now, there will always be a way.
"How's it going? Have you packed it up? How is this place?"
"Master, clean it up. It's a nice place. It has strong spiritual energy and is suitable for practicing. It's also very high and you can see far away. It broadens your horizons and makes your heart feel better. I like it here very much!" Zhou Xing said happily.
"Then why don't you go cook?"
"Cooking?" Zhou Xing asked, scratching his head.
"Yes, do you still want me to cook for you myself? I finally have an apprentice, so of course you do it!" Chen Youren said with a smile.
"Okay, master." Zhou Xingke was really convinced, "Where is the kitchen, master?"
"Stay on the first floor, that's all!" Chen Youren said, pointing to a room in the corner.
"Then I'll do it right away. Master, please wait a moment!"
"Wait a minute, there is no firewood in the kitchen. Go and chop some behind the valley. There is a bamboo forest behind the valley. Those black bamboos grow very fast and are very lush! I don't have an ax or anything here, so just use your gun. Well, I usually do this too, is it okay?"
"No problem, I'll be back soon, master!"
"Then go quickly, don't let me starve!"
Zhou Xing came to the bamboo forest behind the valley with great interest, carrying his silver gun. Sure enough, as Chen Youren said, these bamboos are not like ordinary bamboos. First of all, they look very thin, and the thickest one is only a handful. , and then these bamboos look very strange, they are all black, no, the bamboo poles are black, and even the Zhouzi is as black as ink. It is very lush and has strong growth potential.
Zhou Xing is really bad. There are some woods next to it. Wouldn't it be easier to cut down? And the bamboo is so thin, it looks like it needs to be cut down much better.
Without saying anything, Zhou Xing chopped it up with a silver thorn. If this silver thorn was conscious, it would be so depressing. He was actually used to chop bamboo, or for cooking. It was funny to think about it. But when the silver thorns fell on these dark bamboos, Zhou Xing realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
When his silver spear struck these black bamboos, it was like looking at iron. It was hard to penetrate even the slightest bit and was bounced back.
This shocked Zhou Xing. What kind of bamboo was this? It was so hard. Even though he had only used three-thirds of his strength, the tree as thick as a bowl should have broken immediately! My dear, what a ghost, is this some kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth?
"I still don't believe it. I can't even chop down a bamboo tree."
Zhou Xing yelled, and used the silver thorn to chop up the bamboo again, which was as thick as Cai Damu's finger. This time he used five points of strength, but the result was not like what he had just done, and he was hit again. So far away.
It still doesn’t work. Did you see a ghost today? Zhou Xing still didn't believe it, and this time he used eight levels of strength and struck hard.
This time the small black bamboo reacted, and a slash appeared on it.
"What?" Zhou Xing's eyes widened, but it still didn't work. This black bamboo is harder than black iron.
Zhou Xing is really convinced this time. It seems that I won’t be able to finish the meal today. It must be that lunatic who wants to laugh at me! No, it must not be like this. This will make him laugh to death.
Zhou Xing was not one to admit defeat, and he did not hold back this time. He used all his strength to chop at the thin bamboo. Facing the splitting spear, the bamboo still did not break.
"when."
Only a clear sound was heard, the silver gun was bounced far away by the powerful recoil, and Zhou Xing was also knocked to the ground. At this time, the silver thorn finally cut into the bamboo. Zhou Xing didn't know whether he should be happy or in pain. His full blow couldn't even chop down a bamboo.
However, Zhou Xingzhou did not give up, and struck with all his strength again and again. Only when it got dark did the tiny bamboo snap. Looking at the result of several hours, Zhou Xing's smile was uglier than his cry!
He was exhausted at the moment, so he dragged his spear back to the tree house, and of course the tiny black bamboo! When he returned to the house, he was completely stunned.
I saw Madman Wu sitting at the table, holding a fat chicken from nowhere in his left hand, and a wine glass in his right hand. It smelled like good wine. Zhou Xing looked at him with almost angry eyes.
"How's it going? Master, I'm still waiting for you to cook. Why did it take you so long? But the master is starving!"
"Master, it seems that we won't be able to eat today's meal!" Zhou Xingna said to Chen Youren after he spent a lot of effort to cut the bamboo.
"No, I'm full, you can figure it out on your own!" Chen Youren finished eating the chicken and drank the last glass of wine.
"By the way, Xingtian gets up early to chop bamboo!" Madman Wu laughed.
Zhou Xing still had the energy to find something to eat. After Chen Youren left, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. This was the most comfortable sleep he had had in these years, because he was very tired, but there were other reasons as well. The days of wandering are over for the time being. From now on, he just needs to learn skills and avenge the Zhou family. There is no need to think too much about other things. Of course, his biggest wish is to break the shackles of heaven and earth and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts.
The next day, when Zhou Xing woke up, it was just dawn, and the fish belly was just turning white in the east. It was a beautiful day, but I was so hungry! Today I have to chop the black bamboo, and I have to ask the master what it is later, but judging from the master's arrangement, there is no harm in chopping the black bamboo, and it can improve your strength and exercise your body. This is really weird. The practice method!
After briefly freshening up, Zhou Xing walked to his master's room to greet Chen Youren.
"Master, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry!" Zhou Xing asked pitifully.
"You can't blame me for not cutting down the firewood earlier!" Chen Youren said with a smile.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. A disciple will come to bring you food in a while. Do you think I used to cook and eat by myself? I don't have time! But in the future, the bamboo will still have to be chopped. Let's chop it first today. Fifty!"
"Master, please spare me. Is that bamboo the spiritual root of heaven and earth?" Zhou Xing pretended to be pitiful.
"The black bamboo is called black bamboo, but it is not a spiritual root of heaven and earth. It is just a special mutated variety. It is as hard as black iron and has extremely strong vitality. This month, go ahead and chop the bamboo!"
"I see, I will try my best!" Zhou Xing said firmly.
Sure enough, after a while, a disciple brought breakfast and a set of clothes, which turned out to be the same as the gray clothes of Baihuatang. Zhou Xing was embarrassed, saying that he and the seven spiritual peaks The elders also have the same status. At this time, he was not very happy, but felt a lot of pressure. Because he feels very small, he still can't wear such clothes, but he has strong confidence and can only go further under strong pressure!
"Can you please bring me a set of clothes for an ordinary disciple?" Zhou Xing said to the disciple.
