It took three days to set up the wooden shed, and another two days to weave two deck chairs using Tianshan purple bamboo found by the apes, imitating the craftsmanship of Mr.
Li Ye finally found the time to calm down, lying on the chair and meditating: Will he practice swordsmanship next? Continue to collect herbs from around and study the medicinal classics? Study "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand" that you haven't fully mastered yet?
The summer river breeze blew gently on his body, which was extremely comfortable. As long as it didn't rain in the coming days, he could sleep on the bamboo chair in the shed at night.
What the descendants of the old ape found this time was purple bamboo from the Tianshan Mountains, which is very hard and much more valuable than the moso bamboo they cut themselves. Li Ye found a thick piece of bamboo, held it in his hand and gently cut it with a knife. In less than an hour, the shape of a sword appeared in his little hand.
Seeing that the sharpness of the bamboo sword was not much worse than the wooden sword that his husband had sharpened before, Li Ye couldn't help but become interested. He lit another fire and put the sword embryo on the fire to bake gently.
When the purple bamboo was almost dry, he continued to cut it. It took more than an hour, and finally a purple bamboo sword appeared in his hand.
Li Ye subconsciously waved the bamboo sword in his hand, thinking it would be better to practice sword practice.
Only Kendo is a skill that requires a lifetime of effort to practice. Others can be taken slowly.
The wooden sword that the husband gave me was left in the cave without being brought out, so I just used the bamboo sword that was gradually taking shape in my hand.
The knife in my hand was gently exerting force, thinking about how to carve scriptures on the falling leaves. There was only one breath, how to write on the soft and fluttering leaves with no fixed shape?
With a thought, he picked up the bamboo leaves that were about to be picked up and threw them into the air. He swung the knife in his hand and stabbed the falling bamboo leaves.
However, no matter how hard it tried, changing the size of the Qi in its hand, it could not carve even a trace on the falling leaves.
He continued to carve the bamboo sword in his hand, thinking from time to time in his mind about how to use the sword in his hand to write even horizontal and vertical lines on the bamboo leaf he stabbed.
I thought that the Falling Leaf Sword Technique that Mr. Master wanted to practice by himself would be too difficult.
The old ape didn't know when he had arrived outside the wooden shed on Shitai. Looking at Li Ye who was waving the knife in his hand from time to time, he walked to the edge of the bamboo chair and lay down. He exhaled and said, "This chair is still more comfortable to lie on." Yeah, why haven’t you thought about it before?”
"Senior, why don't you move this chair to your cave and I can make up another one?" Li Ye replied.
"When you leave, won't these belong to those boys? I don't want them anymore. I have to leave here sooner or later."
"I see you waving the knife in your hand to prick the fallen bamboo leaves from time to time. Why is that?" the old ape asked curiously.
Li Ye was stunned, looked at the old ape and said, "My husband asked me to practice swordsmanship. He said that he should carve scriptures on fallen leaves as he pleased."
This time it was the old ape's turn to be in a daze, the swordsmanship was unfamiliar to him.
Looking up, he thought for a long, long time before looking at Li Ye and said: "I have never practiced swordsmanship, so I can't help you. But I saw the monk living in this cave a long time ago. It rained heavily in the summer." At that time, he was waving a piece of wood like a sword in the river outside the woods. Later, he ran to the waterfall in front of our cave and stood in the water rushing down from above, waving the piece of wood in his hand. I don’t know if he was practicing sword practice. ."
"I remember that he practiced for a whole summer, and the second summer he stopped seeing other people, and the entrance to the cave was sealed with a stone wall. How about you give it a try too?"
Li Ye, who was sharpening his bamboo sword, was shocked. Why didn't he think of going to the river to practice his sword?
He said hello to the old ape, put down the bamboo sword and knife in his hands, went into the cave to get his iron sword, and walked across the river. Xiaobai looked at Li Ye's actions and immediately got up from the ground, like a Sharp Arrow rushed forward.
He took off his clothes by the river, leaving only his black iron armor that was close to his body. With a groan, he jumped into the river and stood in the middle of the river. As soon as his feet entered the water, the cold snow water made him shake a little, making it difficult to stand. stable.
At that moment, he concentrated his energy and stabilized his body by running the "Phaseless Dharma Body". He gathered the Danyuan Qi in his Dantian on his right arm and stabbed forward with the iron sword in his hand.
What he didn't expect was that a normal sword could cut through the air and cut through cedar trees with the concentration of true energy. However, the sword at this time could not penetrate even the river water.
As the snow water rushing down from Tianshan Mountain washed away his body, he was already swaying in less than a moment.
At that moment, his true energy sank, he planted his horse firmly, and inserted his feet firmly into the sand and gravel. After a while, he gradually realized the method of concentrating his energy and exerting force. As his body sank, the river water reached his waist.
However, as soon as he wanted to swing the iron sword in his hand, the river rushed upward, and a large amount of water rushed into his mouth.
If luck forces the big mouthful of water to come out, the inner breath will rise and the soles of the feet will be weak. At the moment, the Qi should be concentrated in the center, and the feet should stand firmly without breathing.
After a while, he pushed his feet up, jumped out of the water, spit out the snow water in his mouth, took a breath, and then sank into the river again, letting the cold snow water rush past his head, his body It stands like a pillar in the water.
After he calmed down, he saw the small fish flowing in the river and raised his sword to stab them. Thinking of the feeling of stabbing the bamboo leaves with his sword, he took out his sword and struck at the small fish that kept flowing.
But when Wang was disappointed, he could easily stab the bamboo leaves and pine needles thrown by Mu Mu on the shore. No matter how hard he tried, he could not stab the small fish in the river.
Even if it's just a hair away, it won't be able to hit the small fish in the water.
Unwilling to admit defeat, he competed with the small fish in the river. One sword, two swords...two hundred swords...
He practiced until he was exhausted and his feet were shaking, and then he dragged his exhausted body back to the shore.
From jumping into the water, to steadying his body, breathing in the river, and stabbing out the difficult sword, he only stayed for a total of one hour. This hour was more difficult for him than a day of practice.
Xiao Bai by the river looked at Li Ye crawling out of the river and screamed with his mouth open, thinking that Li Ye was attacked by an unknown object in the river.
Li Ye lay on the shore like a dead dog. He stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Bai's head and said, "Xiao Bai, I am asking for trouble in the water. How about you go down and try too?"
After hearing this, Xiaobai whined twice, turned around and ran into the woods, towards the shed outside the cave.
Li Ye lay on a stone by the river to bask in the sun, thinking in his heart: I didn't expect that practicing in the water would be so difficult. He was as tired as a dog just standing in the water practicing sword practice. Fortunately, he was in the Golden Core realm and The "Formless Dharmakaya" that has broken through the five realms.
If it were another practitioner, I don’t know what would happen.
Suddenly, I felt a little bit resentful towards Mr., for herding myself like a flock of sheep.
While practicing Qi, I lost a piece of iron armor.
When practicing, let yourself carry the bowl with water.
When practicing swordsmanship, I told myself to carve words on the stone wall and carve scriptures on the leaves.
But he doesn’t tell himself how to practice.
I don’t know if my husband taught me this way back then.
When you have the opportunity, you must be shameless to ask your husband this question.
Feeling that I had regained some strength, I stood up, put on my clothes and shoes, and holding my sword in my hand, I slowly returned to the woods, then climbed up to the shed on the stone platform, and fell into the lounge chair like a dead dog.
The old ape was resting with half-closed eyes. He opened his eyes and looked at Li Ye while listening to the noise. He suddenly smiled and said, "I see you look good and can crawl back alive. When I went down to try it for the first time, I was given river water." Rushed into the pool below."
Li Ye was too tired to speak at this time, and replied feebly: "Senior, how long have you been practicing since then, and what have you learned?"
The old ape touched the white beard on his chin and said: "There will be no more after that. I just sat in the pool and let the water wash away for a few years, and I developed the physical body I have now."
Li Ye was startled, looked at the old ape and said, "Is this possible? You can't stand in the upper river, can you still withstand the wild impact of that waterfall?"
"I don't need to practice swordsmanship. What I practice is the physical body. When it is hard, I am soft, and when it is soft, I am hard. It took me a year to understand this truth. Later, no matter where I stand, I will let it wash away. It’s not that uncomfortable anymore.”
Li Ye stared at the old ape blankly, thinking that the man-ape was indeed incomparable. He could practice just standing there, but he couldn't stay long even standing in the river.
"You don't need to practice swordsmanship? Could it be that the water helps you practice?" Li Ye asked puzzledly: "Senior, aren't you afraid of debris in the water, such as stones, suddenly falling on you along the current?"
Hearing these words, the old ape couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said: "Little sir, there are not only stones flowing down the river in the water, but sometimes there are also branches rushing down from the upper stream. Of course it is dangerous."
Li Ye's eyes widened and he asked doubtfully: "Isn't it possible that senior has not been injured?"
Looking at him, the old ape replied gently: "How is it possible... I won't hide in the passage."
Li Ye was stunned, stroked the iron sword in his hand, and asked, "Senior, do you think I can resist with my sword?"
The old ape looked at him and said with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry? Practice in the upstream river first, and we will talk about it later."
Li Ye sighed, looked at him and said, "It seems that not only do I have to practice in the flowing water, but I also have to find a way to try it in the pool."
"Stabilize your practice in the river, and you may have unexpected harvests, at least in the pool below. It's still early." The old ape said with a smile.
After speaking, the old ape closed his eyes again, and after a while he snored, and he actually fell asleep in front of Li Ye.
Xiaobai watched Li Ye whine, which meant he was hungry.
Li Ye looked at it angrily and said, "Aren't there still fruits in the morning? You can make do with it at noon. I can't do this. I have to sleep in death and make some delicious food at night."
Xiaobai roared twice to express his dissatisfaction, turned his head, and went to look for the fruit he hadn't finished in the morning.
It had no choice but to eat meat. Since it followed Li Ye, it also learned to eat fruits and rice, and actually ate them with relish, as if it was born to eat these foods.
Li Ye looked at Xiao Bai who ran away, stopped talking, closed his eyes, and soon made a thunderous snore like an old ape...
The cliff suddenly seemed peaceful and quiet.
If this moment of time can be extended infinitely, then this leisurely moment can also be extended infinitely. A good sleep will indeed be a pleasant thing for Li Ye.
It can also restore his empty true energy.
