The sun sets.
Next to the wooden house in Yin Yang Valley.
Each person has a sword, a pile of firewood, and a pig.
The person is Jiang Yichen blindfolded by reed leaves.
The sword was a wooden sword that was newly sharpened yesterday morning but is now blunt.
Firewood is the firewood that Lengmei cut from the mountains and fields in the past.
The pig is the little wild boar Ah Bai.
The big round eyes stared at the rising and falling of the sword, and the barrel-like head could not help but follow the rhythm and was very intoxicated.
Abai didn't know when he started to become hopeless, but he was with this guy every day.
For this guy who suddenly appeared, Abai couldn't calm down for a long time. After all, as soon as this guy came, the master's time to walk him was greatly reduced. If the time was less, he would forget it. The food was also short, so he couldn't bear it. But the master After all, it is the master. The master works hard for a while, deducts, oh no, has no time to prepare some delicious food for himself. Can you blame the master? It can't be done, I can only blame this guy!
Fortunately, this guy still wanted to show off his face and did not let the master continue to serve and eat and drink on the bed for too long, so he honestly went to the ground and moved around on his own. It was only then that I changed my mind about this guy.
From then on, his life got back on track, and soon thereafter, this guy became his master and his follower.
It's a pity that the master didn't like this follower very much. He always hit him with things, even stones, and even let himself play tricks on him. Later, the master even personally taught him a lesson, leaving him with more than just bruises all over his body. , it’s just covered in blood, okay?
What a poor guy.
I have never been a pig with overflowing sympathy. It can be seen that this guy is so disliked by his master that he has been punished to chop three hundred firewood before dinner every day since five days ago. It really makes the pig feel pity for him. !
Yes, not just split, but clean!
When I went to chop firewood in the past, regardless of the thickness of the wood, the owner could always cut all the wood into equal lengths without any twigs branching off, and tie them neatly behind the back without affecting the movement at all. When you get home, cut it in half to make a fire and it will be clean.
But since the master decided to punish this guy even more, the firewood he chopped back every time was always less than before, because the firewood was not only different in thickness and length, but also had thin branches on it. Now, if you can't bundle it well, you can't carry it on your back.
No, every time this guy walked back with firewood on his back, he grinned and stumbled while walking. Compared with his master, he was really useless.
Ever since, whenever he saw his master returning to the house to prepare dinner and not paying attention to what was going on outside, he would come to keep the poor loser company.
You are raised by your master, so your liver and gallbladder should be in harmony with each other, right?
As long as the master is away, this pig will accompany you!
This guy was quite unreliable at first. He would just chop firewood, but he would often chop it crookedly, causing small pieces of wood to fly around. Why?
Very dangerous, right?
This pig is right next to me!
Just chop it crookedly, you still missed it!
It really scared this pig!
This guy is simply blind, okay?
Well, this guy is really blind.
That pig can only stay away from you, five steps, uh no, fifteen steps away!
Fortunately, this guy was thin-skinned and brave enough to learn his shame. As the day progressed, it would have taken him almost two meals to chop, but gradually he could finish it without even one meal.
Finally, the master and I no longer have to wait hungry.
In addition to the increased speed, the quality is also much better. At least there is no more empty splitting, and seven out of ten firewood can be split evenly in half.
Today I heard this guy chop wood with his own rhythm.
With a bang, he set the firewood on the stone.
Swish, swish, swish!
The twigs and branches on the four sides of the firewood were cut off one by one.
With two popping sounds, the upper and lower ends of the wood were shaved flat.
With a sound, the firewood was split into two pieces.
Ta la, he fell to the ground.
Then he pushed it aside with his foot, making a squeaking sound.
Then the same sound process is repeated.
Abai didn't know the mystery of these sounds, but when they were connected together, he unconsciously fell into the same rhythm.
First the eyes moved, then the head, then the body swayed, then the butt twisted, and the tail swung up, which was very exciting.
Abai knew that in the future, besides eating, sleeping, and walking, there would probably be more to him than just watching guys chop firewood.
…
…
Boom!
Swish, swish, swish!
Poof!
歘!
Ta-la!
Ouch!
Jiang Yichen didn't know that Ah Bai had so many thoughts in his heart, but the time before dinner was short but actually long, and it was not bad to have a pig with him.
Of course, Jiang Yichen focused more on chopping firewood.
This is the new homework assigned to him by Leng Mei five days ago.
This homework seems simple, but it is also a small integration of various trainings including speed, reaction, force control, etc. done every day. Although the things done are small, they are extremely sophisticated.
Before the thud, Jiang Yichen had to accurately pull out a piece of firewood from the pile.
Jiang Yichen's hands are those of an ordinary person, so he can only pull out one piece of firewood from the pile at a time, not two. However, the number of firewood piles is decreasing, and as he pulls out, the appearance of the pile will also change. If there are changes, if he wants to ensure that he doesn't empty his hand every time, he doesn't need to bother to count, but he has to be aware of the changes in the pyre.
When the firewood comes into contact with the surface of the stone and makes a thumping sound, Jiang Yichen needs to judge whether the sound is light, heavy, clear or turbid?
If you do it softly, it means that the firewood taken out is not wet.
If the sound and color are a little dull, it means that the firewood has been stained with water even if it is not wet firewood.
If the sound is clear, it means that the firewood is generally intact, with no cracks and no sand or soil.
Otherwise, it will appear turbid.
In addition, the level of the sound can also be used to once again confirm whether the mass measured by hand is correct.
If the deviation is small, it means that the tactile and auditory judgments are consistent. After the four swords cut off the twigs on the surface of the firewood, the two swords at the upper and lower ends only need to cut a thin section.
If the deviation is large, the longer two sections will have to be cut off to ensure that the firewood is of the same length.
The first four swords and the last two must be completed in the air in an instant. The speed of the sword is not difficult for Jiang Yichen, but he must control the firewood not to be carried away by the force when each sword is struck. The sophistication of control is self-evident.
With the basic foundation of the first six swords, it is relatively simple to split the seventh sword into two.
But that was only relatively speaking. Jiang Yichen also spent five days and nights practicing hard. Practice makes him perfect, and he was able to cut a firewood general in half with each sword.
The steps of chopping firewood have ended after the seventh sword was struck, and its rhythm is a certain rhythm derived from Jiang Yichen's immersion in this state and blended with the laws of nature.
Jiang Yichen himself was not aware of this. Leng Mei, who was preparing dinner carefully, had not noticed it yet. Only Abai noticed it first.
In short, the new task of splitting firewood seems to be a rough job, but it requires extremely fine work.
The intention is still to mobilize various senses of the body to fill all the visual functions of the original eyes and communicate with the outside world.
The reason why it is said to be complementary is that the eyes are not omnipotent when it comes to communicating with the outside world.
Eye communication can go wrong.
Perspective errors and natural factors can cause the eyes to be deceived, such as mirages.
When Jiang Yichen was ambushed by Yin Li, Yin Li's Glimpse Step made Jiang Yichen invisible. At that time, Jiang Yichen closed his eyes and fully mobilized his senses, hearing, and smell of the surrounding environment to capture the unusual movements. Defeat the enemy with one blow.
Of course, although it is not impossible to communicate with the outside world without eyes, it is still extremely inconvenient.
After all, the eyes are the most intuitive way to communicate with the outside world. They can respond directly in the next moment without having to use hearing, smell or feeling to form an image in the mind before reacting.
What Jiang Yichen is doing now is to train other senses to communicate intuitively with the outside world, or to form the fastest response, that is, instinct, after allowing other senses to communicate with the outside world.

The days in Yin Yang Valley are monotonous and boring.
Nothing seems to have changed.
But everything seems to be changing quietly.
Leng Mei could clearly feel that Ah Bai in her arms had gained another kilogram, but his body did not look fat, but rather strong.
Jiang Yichen's daily confrontation with Leng Mei never stopped no matter the wind or rain. I don't know when Leng Mei, a third-rate swordsman, could no longer defeat him with his swordsmanship.
He could only change the pair of wooden thorns to crush Jiang Yichen again.
During this period, the poison of the blind sand only occurred once.
When the eye-obstructing sand poison attacked for the third time, the pain from the eyes only lasted for less than a cup of tea. Compared with the second time, the pain was reduced by half, and the treatment effect was remarkable.
Ten days later, the fourth attack of the eye-destructive sand bug did not come yet. It seems that the eye-destructive sand bug has been almost eliminated.
It took five full days before Jiang Yichen was awakened from his sleep at night by the pain caused by the attack of blind sand poison.
This time the pain lasted even shorter, and it was not enough for Jiang Yichen to disturb Leng Mei, who was already sleeping soundly.
When Leng Mei changed Jiang Yichen's dressing the next morning, Jiang Yichen was surprised and surprised to find that he could feel the light coming from outside the house.
It was a pity that when Leng Mei took a stone and placed it in front of his nose, his eyes were still in chaos. He couldn't tell the shape and size of the stone, so he couldn't see the beauty again after so many years.
Jiang Yichen could only continue to treat and train with peace of mind, waiting for the day when he would truly see the light of day again.
It was not until three days later that drastic changes finally occurred in Yin Yang Valley.
The third living person besides Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen was welcomed!
