Mingyu picked up some firewood and took a closer look, and was surprised.
"Did you see it?"
Zhaixing asked with a smile, "Do you remember how long it took you to cut it like this?"
"I'm really ashamed. It took me two months to chop wood like this."
Zhaixing smiled slightly, "There are many stupid people in the world. When I recruit disciples, I recruit geniuses. You are considered a half-genius, so you can have the opportunity to chop wood."
You have been chopping for two months before you understand how to chop firewood.
This Yu Wenxia is considered a complete genius, so he understood how to chop firewood in five days."
Taoist Master Mingyu held the firewood with an envious look on his face. Master Zhaixing said this, obviously he wanted to regard Yu Wenxia as his disciple, and his statement of "half genius" also showed that Master Zhaixing was absolutely not
I will accept myself as my disciple.
Taoist priest Ming Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly, that's all, if I have the fate to follow you, you should be content.
Your lord's swordsmanship is not something someone with my qualifications can inherit.
"On the fifth day, he was able to use the feedback of the true energy to find the weaknesses of the wood texture. Yu Wenxia's qualifications are really scary..." Taoist priest Ming Yu said with a smile, "Congratulations, sir, for finally finding a suitable successor!"
Zhaixing smiled and said: "Teach him how to peel and chop, and tell this kid where to eat! It will save him from scolding me for being stingy! Humph, I wanted to starve him for a few days, but I didn't expect this kid
The bastard brought so many supplies, and even the food was better than the kitchen! It’s really annoying!”
Taoist priest Ming Yu suppressed his laughter. It was quite interesting to see these two astonishing geniuses, one big and one small, clashing in the air.
Everyone thinks that Old Man Zhaixing is punishing Yu Wenxia, but who can know his true thoughts?
...In the back mountain of Zhaixing Pavilion, Taoist Master Mingyu came to the woodshed again.
"Young Master Yuwen, how are you feeling these days?
Are you tired?"
Mingyu asked with a smile.
You are finally here... Xia Yu cheered in his heart, put down the sword in his hand, and saluted, "I have met Taoist Master Ming Yu.
I think it’s okay, I’m a little tired, but I can get used to it.”
"That's good."
Mingyu smiled and said, "I was in a hurry that day and forgot to tell you where to eat. You haven't been hungry these days, have you?"
"It's okay, I will bring my own dry food."
Xia Yu smiled and was secretly depressed. Grandma, I didn’t remember it until now. It was definitely the old man who picked up the stars on purpose! He’s so small! Ming Yu nodded, “When it’s meal time today, someone will come and take you there. You
Just eat with those other people."
Having said this, Taoist Master Ming Yu waved his hand.
Click! The door of the woodshed suddenly closed.
Taoist priest Ming Yu casually drew out his sword.
Xia Yu was stunned and subconsciously took half a step back, "Master Ming Yu, what does this mean?"
Taoist Master Ming Yu smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous...if I attack you, it's useless for you to be nervous."
"Uh..." Xia Yu smiled awkwardly, "Taoist Master Mingyu is really good at joking, how could you take action against me."
"You have done a good job of cutting firewood recently..." Taoist Master Mingyu said, "It's just that the use of firewood is different. The firewood is enough now. You can't chop it like this in the future."
Xia Yu was stunned. He just chopped firewood. Why did he come up with such tricks?
And isn’t the purpose of firewood just for burning?
What kind of cutting is not cutting?
Under Xia Yu's confused gaze, Taoist Master Ming Yu picked up a piece of wood, flicked his wrist, and cut out the long sword.
Swish, swish, swish, three swords, a few pieces of firewood fell to the ground with the broken edges tilted and forming a diamond shape as a whole.
Then, he picked up another piece of wood and slashed it with his long sword.
After a few strikes, there were several triangular pieces of firewood on the ground.
"Young Master Yuwen," Taoist Master Ming Yu said with a smile, "from now on, half of the firewood needed every day should be of this shape and the other half of that shape, not the previous one."
Looking at the rhombus and triangular pieces of wood on the ground, Xia Yu was a little confused. What was he doing?
Make blocks?
But soon, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Cutting firewood?
How is this cutting firewood?
This was clearly a swordsmanship! It was indeed chopping at first, and the movements were very simple. Taoist Master Ming Yu did not give any hint. After all, you can only chop wood like this with a sword.
But now, it was clearly cutting and slashing! Xia Yu could clearly see every tiny movement of Master Ming Yu. Although it was simple, it contained the supreme principles of swordsmanship.
So that’s it! Xia Yu couldn’t help but feel ecstatic in his heart. He originally thought that Old Man Zhaixing was deliberately making things difficult for him by chopping firewood with his sword, but he didn’t expect that he was teaching him the art of swordsmanship! At this time, if Xia Yu didn’t understand Old Man Zhaixing’s intentions anymore,
Then what kind of smart guy does he think he is?
Just find a piece of tofu and hit him to death! It’s right when you think about it. How could the old man reaching for the stars let go of a genius like him?
As for a genius like himself, Old Man Reaching for the Stars certainly needs special treatment.
It's just that... this special method is too painful! Thinking of this, the depression in my heart is swept away.
Xia Xia Yu quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you very much, Master Mingyu. I wonder if you can do the demonstration again."
Taoist Master Ming Yu naturally understood the meaning of Xia Yu's gift. He nodded with a smile, did it to Xia Yu a few more times, and said: "Although chopping firewood seems simple, if you want to chop it well, you need to understand it carefully. Do you understand?"
"
"Junior understands!"
Xia Yu cupped his hands and said tentatively, "Taoist Priest Mingyu, I want to trouble you with something."
"oh?
Do you want to see the adults?"
Xia Yu nodded, "Exactly, I want to... thank Master Zhaixing in person."
Taoist priest Ming Yu waved his hand, "No need, I will meet you when the time comes. You can just chop wood with peace of mind."
"Yes, I will definitely chop wood well."
"Well, is there anything else?"
Xia Yu thought for a moment and said: "In the past, my junior was frivolous with Meng Lang and offended Senior Zhaixing. Senior took me in regardless of the previous grudges. I am really grateful. However, I do have unavoidable reasons. I hope I can have the opportunity to apologize to Senior Zhaixing in person.
.”
Taoist priest Ming Yu nodded, "I remember it, and I will convey this to the adults for you."
"Thank you, Taoist Master Mingyu."
...After Taoist Master Ming Yu left, Xia Yu took a long breath and lay down on the pile of firewood with his whole body relaxed.
He has never felt so comfortable since joining the welfare year.
It turns out that all the targets and all the obstacles are tests that Old Man Reaching for the Stars puts to himself.
I am really a fan of the authorities. How could a character like Old Man Reaching for the Stars be so petty?
Thinking of this, Xia Yu laughed to himself.
Xiao Hei jumped out of the space and was very happy for Xia Yu, "Are you feeling happy now?"
"Cool!"
Xia Yu couldn't help laughing, "Finally, all the hard work was not in vain!"
