That heavy rain came and went quickly. This is the case with heavy rains in summer in the north.
Bai Ze carried his sword and went up the mountain without deliberately looking for Yuan Fang. He is practicing sword control, and the first step is to lift the weight as lightly as possible. If Bai Ze's prediction is correct, his way of practicing swordsmanship is to chop wood first, and then learn to stab a willow with a sword. Without moving his true energy, he can reach without a sharp sword and pierce the nine leaves.
Bai Ze is different. Although he also chops firewood, he uses his sharp sword energy to break wood with one sword.
Different road non-phase plan.
"Can a sword without a sharp edge still have the energy of a sword that can cut through a ten-year-old tree?" In the dense forest at the back of the mountain, Bai Ze listened to the chirping of birds and thought for a long time, then picked a sycamore tree that three people hugged and chopped it down.
"No matter what, if you want to break the wood, you need to know the sword's energy. It's useless to dream about it, let's try the sword first!" Bai Ze used his strength in his hand and slashed out with the sword, but the shock made his mouth numb, and Liu Jian almost lost his hand. out.
On the other hand, the sycamore tree only had some skin damage.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple." Bai Ze sighed, but was not discouraged. He continued to chop wood by himself. He could only hear the sound of "duh duh", which caused the birds to fly up and chirp.
For several days, Bai Ze went up the mountain to chop wood for an hour. Because he and Yuan Fang went up the mountain at different times, they did not meet.
Until the fifth day, Bai Ze was chopping firewood with his sword when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yuan Fang.
Their eyes met, Yuan Fang asked curiously: "You also chop wood?"
"Yes." Bai Ze saw Chen Yuanfang and thought that time was almost up, so he put away his sword and stood up, shook his numb right hand and asked, "How is your cutting going?"
"Well, I just broke a tree yesterday." Chen Yuanfang said. Seeing that the sword marks on the tree cut by Bai Ze were already four fingers deep, he praised: "Bai Ze, the sycamore tree you chose has the best wood quality in the entire back mountain." It’s also considered to be one of the hardest. I think you haven’t cut it for a few days, right? The sword mark is still new, but it’s already cut so deep, it’s really impressive!”
"I can't help it. I'm born with supernatural power, and ordinary trees are not difficult for me." Bai Ze shrugged, sat on the ground, picked raspberries beside him and ate them, saying: "It's just this bladeless sword that can cut down trees." It’s really not easy to get firewood.”
Seeing this, Yuan Fang also sat down, picked some sweet and sour raspberries and ate them. He sighed and said, "I've thought about this too, but do you still remember that day when we were at the edge of the pine hillock and saw you?" Master, can one level the mountains with one sword?"
"Remember, what happened?" Bai Ze asked.
"Your master said at that time," Chen Yuanfang touched the edgeless willow sword in his hand, and said: "The lower sword kills, the middle sword gathers energy, the upper sword condenses the mind, and the upper sword concentrates on the heart. I was thinking, although the sword in my hand is indeed useless But if I want to reach the peak of swordsmanship, then does the sword in my heart have to be as edgeless as the sword in my hand?"
One word awakens the dreamer.
Bai Ze was stunned for a long time, then he laughed, hugged Chen Yuanfang's shoulders, shook his head and said: "Haha! Who said you are stupid? I think you are obviously as smart as a fool! Well said! Yuan Fang, you don't have a sword in your hand. The sword in your heart must be sharp and unstoppable!"
After that, he drew his sword and slashed hard at the sycamore tree next to him.
Just hearing the sound of "Duo", the willow sword immediately penetrated one-third of the hardwood, and the cut was smooth, not as rough as before!
"Ah!?" Chen Yuanfang was startled by Bai Ze's sudden sword strike. He stood up in a hurry and was dumbfounded when he saw the power of Bai Ze's sword strike.
Liu Jian lost his hand and got stuck in the sycamore tree.
Bai Ze felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth. When he saw it, it turned out that the skin on his palm was cracked, and the huge force of the shock caused his right hand to drip with blood!
"Are you injured?" Chen Yuanfang tore off a piece of clothes, bandaged Bai Ze's wound, and complained: "Even if you have some understanding, you can't be so reckless! Look at you, your hand is so seriously injured, it seems that in three days Inside, you can’t even go up the mountain to chop wood..."
While talking, he carefully bandaged Bai Ze's wound.
"It doesn't matter, I can't cut off the wood with one sword, just because I don't have enough strength. When I break through the third level of the sea of suffering, I will come here to get the sword, and then complete the task assigned by the master, cut off the ten-year-old wood with one sword!" Bai Ze didn't care, but When he lowered his head and saw Yuan Fang caring for him carefully like a brother, he suddenly felt as if something had stabbed him in his heart.
"Good brother!" Bai Ze looked at Chen Yuanfang, patted his shoulder, and said, "One day, we will definitely visit the world of Jiuzhou and let everyone in the world remember our names!"
"Okay!" Chen Yuanfang nodded heavily and patted Bai Ze's shoulder with a firm look in his eyes: "If you want to become a swordsman, I will become a swordsman! Together, we can see all over the world of Jiuzhou!"
In the small city of Heyang in the north, in the mountains behind Liuzhuang, among the woods, two young men formed a lifelong alliance just like that!
The way of heaven is dangerous, but those who don’t know are fearless. How many young people's promises can really come true?
"These raspberries are really sour and sweet!" Chen Yuanfang grinned, with a refreshing breath coming to his face. He squatted down, picked a lot, pocketed them on his clothes, and said, "Pick some back and bring them to Master, the others, and Sister Caiyun to taste."
"If you don't tell me, I forgot! These days, I have eaten a lot of scallion pancakes delivered by the little sister without saying anything, and I can't help feeling sorry." Bai Ze thought of the little girl's cute smile, laughed, and said, "You pick it If you want some raspberries, then I’m going to catch fish at the bottom of the mountain! Today at noon, why don’t we meet up and have a picnic by the pool at the bottom of the mountain?”
"Interesting! Interesting!" Chen Yuanfang also laughed and said, "It's a pity that Tugen and Erdan's family is very strict, otherwise we could have called them together. In this way, you and I will work separately. You grill the fish, and I will call Sister Caiyun when I go home. Bring some salt from home by the way!"
"Go and come back quickly!" Bai Ze said without saying any more, and ran down the mountain to catch fish and make a fire.
Not long after, Bai Ze cleaned the five or six fish he had caught, lit a fire, put the fish on, grilled them, and waited for Chen Yuanfang and Caiyun to come over.
"Well, you little fairy, if you have some conscience and know how to sneak some delicious food with brother Yuan Fang, call me!" After a while, the two of them arrived. Caiyun's little face was flushed like a little girl because of running all the way. apple.
"You call me little fairy again, but I don't want to!" Bai Ze smiled and said, "I won't call you little sister from now on. I will call you little fairy. How about that?"
"Little fairy, little fairy, haha!" Chen Yuanfang put the things he brought on the pebbled ground and asked, "What is my name?" pointing to his nose.
"You..." Bai Ze smiled wilfully, looked at Caiyun, then at Yuan Fang, and said, "Just call-"
"What's it called?" Caiyun asked curiously, jumping up and down.
"Call--" Bai Ze whetted his appetite and joked: "Call me Fairy Xianggong! Hahaha..."
"You're so good, Bai Ze, you're actually making fun of me because I won't hit you!" Caiyun shouted angrily and hit Bai Ze hard on the head.
Bai Ze was in pain. He screamed for mercy and ran away, shouting: "Ms. sir, save me!!"
"Ahhh, you're so mad at me!" Caiyun went crazy and wanted to tear Bai Ze's mouth apart, grabbed him, pushed him into the puddle, and fell in, rolling together.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" Only then did Yuan Fang react, the tips of his ears turned red, and he hurriedly ran to break up the fight, but unexpectedly, he was secretly tripped by Bai Ze and fell into the pool.
"Bai Ze, you!" Chen Yuanfang was confused. He was the one who tried to stop the fight, but how could he be tricked?
"What are you doing?" Bai Ze poured some water on Yuan Fang's face, and then challenged Caiyun: "Come on, little fairy, don't cry if you are bullied by me~"
Caiyun was so angry that her teeth itched. She looked at each other and nodded with Chen Yuanfang.
Bai Ze felt that something was not good. Just as he was about to run away, Chen Yuanfang pounced on him and knocked him down in the pool. "Bai Ze, you are finished!"
"Stop! Listen to me!" Bai Ze shouted.
"Now I know it's too late, it's too late!" Caiyun angrily held up the cool pool water and poured it on Bai Ze's face.
The three of them got into a quarrel, chasing each other, laughter echoed down the mountain, and the birds were chirping.
When they were tired of playing, they all climbed ashore and lay on the big bluestone, basking in the sun and breathing heavily.
Suddenly, Bai Ze remembered something, shouted, and jumped up, "Oh no, my fish!" There was no fish anywhere beside the fire, only black charcoal was left.
"It's over, I can only go hungry!" Caiyun said.
"It's okay, Bai Ze is good at catching fish." Chen Yuanfang said, "Let's wait, he will be able to bake the fish soon, right?"
"Of course!" Bai Ze proudly held his head high.
Time is like running water, and a season passes in a blink of an eye. The long summer heat is gradually replaced by cool autumn.
On this day, Bai Ze practiced as usual in the back mountain, sitting cross-legged and meditating, practicing Qi into his body and strengthening the pure Yang Qi sea.
Suddenly, Bai Ze heard a buzzing sound in the sea of energy in his dantian, as if a certain barrier had been broken through, and the true energy in his body suddenly expanded again, as big as a back mountain.
"Huh -" Bai Ze opened his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the back mountain, which had gradually become depressed, stood up suddenly, and clenched his fists, "The third level of the sea of suffering is done! Next... is to cut off the wood with a sword. .”
Bai Ze jumped up and was already three feet away. He ran straight up the mountain and found the willow sword that had been stuck in the sycamore tree. He exerted a strong force and the sword came out of the tree.
"Ten-year sycamore tree." Bai Ze looked at the trees surrounded by the three people in front of him, concentrated, breathed out, and slashed out with one sword!
"Qiang!"
The sword roared, and a faint clear light attached to the willow sword. As Bai Ze slashed out with his sword, he cut the hanging tree in half with ease!
"The incision is smooth." Bai Ze watched the giant tree fall, touched the texture of the broken wood, smiled lightly, and said: "It's done!"
Liuzhuang, in the village chief's yard, Xie Xuan heard the footsteps hurriedly coming, smiled lightly and said: "It seems that in March, he did not boast about Haikou, he has already been able to cut wood for ten years with a sword without an edge. .”
"My little friend is truly a genius." Liu Ling finally became accustomed to Bai Ze's various horrific actions and treated him with a normal attitude, "It's just Taoist Master, when do you plan to tell my little friend to find the elixir?"
"Sooner rather than later." Xie Xuan said, taking a sip of wine, "We will set off for Heyang soon."
