The sky was slightly brighter in the distance, and I rubbed my tired and sore hands.
Apply ointment and perform exercises to unblock and maintain the meridians of your hands.
Back at the camp, the disciples in charge of logistics were already preparing breakfast.
When all the disciples got up, Zhang Ke led him to finish the morning lessons. When everything was ready, it was already the third quarter of Yinshi.
After leaving the camp, Lu Zhang looked at the terrain in front of him.
But there are cliffs everywhere, with varying heights. Although the trees are lush, they are not easy to cut down and transport.
He couldn't help but frown and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, what's wrong with this!"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly and called the disciples, dividing them into five groups.
First, take out the prepared pulley block, winch and other items.
This was researched by him and Chen Ze in his spare time in the past, and was all based on dreams.
From time to time, he tests whether what he sees in his dreams is real and valid, and there are many gadgets like this.
The cliffs on all sides are about seven feet high from the ground, and the depression in the middle is where the camp of Zhang Ke and others is located.
It occupies a very large area and is shaped like a horseshoe. The direction of the gap corresponds to the mouth of the valley, so the locals also call it "Horseshoe Valley".
Instruct everyone to fix the pulley, winch, and ropeway on the cliff, and arrange the support under the cliff.
Xu Shiwu led some new disciples under the age of 15 to operate pulleys and winches.
More than a dozen disciples were arranged under the cliff to stack the transported yellow cedar trees neatly.
Zhang Ke, Fang Xiaohong, Qi Man, and Lu Zhang each led nine people, divided into four groups, and went to the cliff to cut wood.
Yellow fir is a kind of tree with a straight trunk and few branches. It has a wide range of uses, so it is widely planted.
Zhang Ke couldn't help but swallowed when he looked at the yellow cedar tree in front of him that was as thick as a barrel and seven or eight meters high.
Wearing a linen shirt for work, leather gloves on his hands, and a fine iron axe.
Looking at the lush forests around him, he shouted:
"Yo~ho~ho!!!..."
The rich voice floated in the mountains and forests, and loud shouts came from elsewhere.
Zhang Ke laughed, picked up the ax, and struck hard! "Hey!"!
The body of the fine iron ax is colorfully patterned, and the blade is sharp. The ax head hits the yellow fir tree hard.
But it only cut into half an inch, and this was because of the fine iron axe.
Zhang Ke chopped down the yellow cedar tree vigorously, breathing "hey" from time to time.
Each ax must hit the same position, and the true energy in the body moves spontaneously.
This kind of spontaneous movement method has only been achieved in the past two years.
He originally wanted to practice being able to concentrate, think about nothing else, and have a consistent spirit, but he didn't want to have unexpected gains.
The yellow cedar tree made a cracking sound and fell down.
Zhang Ke wiped his sweat, took a few sips from the water bottle, and continued cutting down another tree.
Time passed little by little, and every few days, an inner disciple from the mountain came over. After registering, he took away the yellow fir tree in a storage bag.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zhang Ke was chopping down trees.
Suddenly I heard a woman's voice, I put down my ax and looked away.
Not far away, he saw a dozen people gathered together, and someone was waving to him.
I wiped my sweat, put the ax away, and walked closer.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Senior Sister Ding! Why are you here!"
Senior Sister Ding’s name is Ding Xiaoxiao, the senior sister of Taoist Academy with the character Dizhi Yin. It is said that her ancestors have the True Lord Yuanshen alive.
Her eyebrows are like green mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, and her eyes are full of charm.
Even the green robe cannot block the enchanting figure exuding youthfulness.
At this time, there were several people surrounding him. From what Zhang Ke saw, they were all outstanding figures from Tianqian Taoist Academy.
Ding Xiaoxiao was watching the disciples of Wuziyuan working.
However, cutting, lifting, transporting, stacking, and counting all perform their own duties.
There were also a few people carrying burdens and circulating among the disciples who were working.
In the camp, some younger disciples were also busy.
There are food preparations and repair tools, and the overall look is in good order.
He nodded secretly and saw Zhang Ke walking over, sweating profusely and with a towel around his neck.
The muscles on his body were knotted, and his wheat-colored skin was soaked with sweat, as if it had been oiled, and a masculine aura hit his face.
Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and his face turned a little red.
He turned around uncomfortably and said, "Junior Brother Zhang has done a great job in this village!"
Zhang Ke slightly noticed that he rarely saw female disciples on weekdays, which was a bit abrupt.
With a smile, he casually found a short shirt and put it on.
Wiping his sweat, he said, "Senior sister, how come you have time to come here?"
Ding Xiaoxiao said: "My junior sisters and I went to Langya Stream to collect herbs. We passed by here, come and take a look!"
He paused and said, "I saw that it is very fast and convenient to lift yellow cedar trees over there. What is that?"
Zhang Ke smiled and said: "Oh! Those are some auxiliary devices made by junior brother to facilitate work. What, senior sister, are you interested?"
One of the people who came with Ding Xiaoxiao said: "Junior Brother Zhang doesn't know something. Senior Sister Ding usually likes the art of trapping information the most. If it's convenient, can you take a look?"
Zhang Ke knew the person who spoke. He was the senior brother of Yiziyuan, his name was Fan Chunlai, and he came from a well-known family.
At the age of twelve, he awakened his innate supernatural power, "Destroying Divine Light", and became an unofficial disciple of the Yiqi Sect.
He will enter the mountain just after the Taoist examination, so he has always been very arrogant. Although he spoke politely at this time, his tone did not allow for refutation.
Zhang Ke smiled and said: "It's a little trivial, let's go, I'll show you all!"
He led everyone to use the ropeway to go up a cliff.
The ropeway is a rope specially used for disciples to go up and down the cliff.
A total of five roads were arranged around it, otherwise the cliff would be several feet high from the ground and it would be really troublesome to take a detour.
Zhang Ke pointed at the pulley and said: "This was made by me and senior brother Chen Ze to set up the pulley block.
The pulley is used to lift heavy objects up and down. Next to it is a winch, and the winch is used to lift the object.
It’s simple to operate, saves time, effort and convenience, how about it! Not bad!”
Ding Xiaoxiao tried to operate it, and it turned out to be effortless.
In an instant, I thought of many places where I could use the pulley.
I couldn't help but praise: "Junior Brother Zhang's set of pulleys is really well designed!"
He said seriously: "Junior brother Zhang, can you sell me the design drawings?"
Zhang Ke knows that things like pulleys are actually not difficult. You can understand the principle just by taking a look.
Ding Xiaoxiao said this just out of respect.
He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Ding is so polite. It's such a trivial matter. I'll send the drawings to Senior Sister when I get back!"
He looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon, and I have my junior sisters waiting outside.
Why don't we get together and treat Senior Sister to a meal when we arrive at Junior Brother Zhang's dock?"
Zhang Ke laughed loudly and said: "I wish I could have asked for it! Several senior brothers also have a simple meal together.
Everyone is busy on weekdays, let’s have a good chat today! I happen to have good wine here!”
Fan Chun came and applauded the others. They were all practitioners, and they were in the wild, so it was easy to prepare.
More than ten wooden pillars were built on the ground, a canvas was covered over the head, and the ground was cleaned.
I cooked Linggu porridge, cut some cooked meat, and served it with some fruits.
Ding Xiaoxiao brought more than twenty junior sisters over, drinking and chatting. They were all young people, and they all let go after a while.
After dinner, Zhang Ke saw that the juniors were like bees, bragging and spanking around the junior sisters.
He was so cheerful that he knew he had no intention of working anymore, so he simply announced that he would not work in the afternoon and would just play as much as he wanted.
