The Mercenary Association has set up strongholds in various dangerous places in the Four-Star Continent to provide a place for mercenaries who go out to experience and perform tasks to take a short rest. This can also be said to be the more humane aspect of the Mercenary Association.
The members of the Lieyun mercenary group are all practicing. In a few days, it will be time to snatch the Lunar Eclipse Cauldron. These passionate men are working hard to make a big fight.
During these days, Qingge took advantage of her free time to teach Huzi some simple fighting skills.
Fighting is not difficult to learn as long as you master the essentials, but ancient martial arts requires a lot of effort.
To put it simply, fighting relies on skills and physical strength, but ancient martial arts relies on perception and understanding.
"Huzi, come here."
After Qingge finished speaking, he walked to a tree, turned around and looked at the tiger who followed him, and said: "Chop this tree with your bare hands."
"It's simple." Huzi rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, about to take action, but the soft singing voice made him grimace, "Don't use spiritual energy."
"No need for spiritual energy?" Huzi turned around, eyes widening in disbelief, "Sister Wuming, did I hear you right?" How is this possible?
Qingge's face was expressionless, as cold as frost, "Cut this tree down before the sun sets. If I find out that you have instilled spiritual energy, you won't have to ask me to teach you in the future." After the sound fell, Qingge walked in with Ji Yue in her arms.
Bamboo house.
Huzi squatted on the ground depressedly, holding his face with both hands, looking helplessly at the big tree in front of him. Although the tree was not strong enough, it was about the size of a leg. If he used spiritual energy, not to mention a palm, he could do it with just one finger.
There will be no residue left on this tree.
"Huzi, what's wrong?"
When Asuka and Tu Lieyun came back from outside, they saw Huzi staring at a tree in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, are you back?" Huzi stood up happily, glanced at the tree next to him, and then said with a slumped face: "Sister Wuming wants me to chop this tree with one hand without using spiritual energy."
"Listen to her, you won't be wrong." Tu Lieyun was silent for a long time before saying.
Asuka looked at Huzi and laughed, with a look of gloating, "Huzi, come on, I'll get some snacks later."
Huzi's eyes were shining, OK, OK...
Tu Lieyun entered Mei Qingchen, and the snake burial room planned how to win the Lunar Eclipse Cauldron when surrounded by enemies. Asuka walked into the room under the expectant gaze of Hu Zi's eyes, took out a plate of snacks, and knelt cross-legged.
In the shade at the door, I took a bite of a strawberry soft pastry, squinting my eyes and looking at Hu Zi with enjoyment.
Torako looked at Asuka and blinked.
"Why don't you go chop down the tree?" Asuka asked puzzledly.
Huzi looked at the snacks in Asuka's arms and swallowed.
Asuka followed his gaze and looked down, suddenly realizing, and then looked at Huzi with a look of disgust, "Huzi, you misunderstood, I brought out the snacks just to let you smell it. Strawberry shortcake will make you fatter if you eat it.
Let me deal with this kind of thing that harms people's hearts. You're welcome. This is what a sister should do."
Huzi: "..."
Huzi curled his lips and turned his head, looking at the strong tree and wanting to cry without tears.
In the large bamboo-wood room, Snake Burial, Tu Lieyun and Mei Qingchen gathered around the bamboo table. Mei Qingchen covered her chest and coughed non-stop. After a few heartbreaking words, she coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
Snake Burial sat at the table with his eyes lowered and said nothing.
"Qing Chen, why is your illness getting worse and worse?" Tu Lieyun frowned and asked worriedly.
Mei Qingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Brother Tu, don't worry, he won't die yet."
"As long as you can control your own body." Tu Lieyun said: "For several years, you haven't told me what disease you have. You only said that you can't die."
"I'm fine." Mei Qingchen said, "I heard that the nameless girl is teaching Hu Zi Kung Fu?"
Tu Lieyun nodded and said: "Hu Zi is now well tamed, but you have been a little cold towards Wu Ming recently. Since you like her, why bother to be hot and cold."
"It's not that I want to be hot or cold, but I also don't want to hurt her."
When Mei Qingchen spoke, her eyes were a little dim, "Although my body is not strong enough to survive, getting close to her will only drag her down."
"This is just your idea." Tu Lieyun said,
Mei Qingchen felt mixed emotions in his heart and didn't know what to say. He turned to look at Snake Burial, but Snake Burial took out a crystal clear medicine bottle filled with red liquid from his sleeve and handed it to Mei Qingchen, saying in a low voice: "
Drink it."
"I won't drink it." Mei Qingchen frowned, looking at the medicine bottle with particularly disgusting eyes.
"I'll leave it here. You can drink it or not as you wish."
Snake Burial decisively turned around and went out. Tu Lieyun looked at Mei Qingchen, then at Snake Burial, a little confused...
The sun sets in the west, and the sunset is red again.
The fallen leaves were in colorful colors, and the sound of the waves was still there. After practicing Qingge, I opened the bamboo door. When I looked up, I saw a young man chopping down trees with his hands.
There were several wounds on the side of Huzi's hand, and the flesh and blood were a little blurry. Every time he cut towards the tree, dark red blood stained the trunk. When the dull impact sound was heard, Huzi would frown in pain.
.
When Asuka saw Qingge, she stood up and said, "Torako has been chopping all afternoon. If I continue chopping, there will be no results, and my hand may become crippled. It's better to just forget it." When speaking, Asuka felt a little unbearable.
Although she was a bit careless on weekdays, and she would scold Huzi when they met, no one felt more sorry for this teenage boy than she did.
Qingge ignored Asuka and just walked to another strong tree. This tree was as big as two people hugging each other. Qingge lowered her eyes, and a sharp cold light in her eyes was fleeting. She struck like lightning, like thunder.
Opening, the palm wind bursts like a fire knife, and the big tree covering the sky in front of him fell to the ground with one palm, split into two.
Huzi, who was cutting down the tree, paused. At this time, he felt a little powerless and wanted to give up.
He also found it hard to believe that one person could cut down the tree with his own strength...
But when he turned around and saw a tree that fell next to Qingge, there seemed to be fanatical fireworks blooming in his eyes, blazing, rich, and boundlessly gorgeous.
That is the yearning for the word hero when I was young and frivolous. The tenacious soul is always ignited at a moment's notice, using life as power to color the sky.
Huzi turned around, his eyes were red and determined, and he chopped down the tree with one palm after another as if he was desperate for his life.
Although the tree in front of him was undamaged, the boy was unmoved.
Asuka's body was stiff and her limbs were tense. The plate with the snacks slipped out of her hands and fell to the ground. The snacks were scattered in the grass.
Qingge looked at Huzi and was sincerely happy for him. She saw with her own eyes the transformation of a young man.
Qingge walked to Asuka's side, and the two reached the stream. Asuka squatted down, picked up some water with both hands, and sprinkled it into the stream...
"In my eyes, Hu Zi is just a child who will not grow up. I have never seen him with such firm eyes as today. I am very pleased and also feel sorry for him." Asuka patted her face with the water in her hand and turned her head.
