Chapter 45: Movement and stillness
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhang."
Yesterday, Lu Qing introduced them to the three of them. All the Taoists in the Taoist Temple were the master's disciples, so they were all called "senior brothers".
Those who start first are called senior brothers, and those who start later are called junior brothers, no matter men, women, old or young.
And I haven't heard of any of the senior brothers who have just started accepting disciples.
"The cliffs in the back mountain are steep and it's not easy to carry water. You go collect firewood first."
Zhang Duchu pointed at Ling Qing and Zhang Zhe and then looked at Zhu Guang.
"As for you, you have thin skin, tender flesh, and fat head, but I don't know if you can bear the pain."
"Brother, you can bear the pain, you can bear the pain."
Zhu Guang said quickly when he saw this.
After finally being able to officially join the Immortal Sect, he didn't want to be like Wang Sheng, who was fooled away by a simple spell because he couldn't bear the hardship.
"Well, I wanted to keep you here to help in the kitchen. In that case..."
"But as per senior brother's instructions, I am willing to help." Upon hearing this, Zhu Guang quickly stopped senior brother Zhang from talking and said with a smile.
As I said before, Zhu Guang has a round figure, a fat head and big ears, and is green and white.
Obviously, this life has been very comfortable since childhood.
With his plump appearance, no one would believe him if he was not a foodie.
For him, helping in the kitchen is much better than chopping wood and carrying water outside in the wind and sun.
It’s not like he’s taking the path of beating his body. It’s hard to say whether he can survive it for a long time.
Even though it is just as tiring, it is more comfortable to eat while standing guard than to face the tree bark.
"In that case, you can come with me later and you two can choose a tool."
Senior Brother Zhang said with a smile, obviously seeing through his thoughts.
"yes!"
Ling Qing and Zhang Zhe looked with envy at Zhu Guang, who had a festive look on his face. They each chose a pair of hammers and walked up the mountain with their axes.
"I didn't expect this fat man to be really lucky." Zhang Zhe joked on the way.
"Why don't we have the blessings he has?" Ling Qing also said with a smile.
Along the way, Ling Qing and Zhu Guang got to know each other a lot, and they were able to make some small jokes.
However, neither of them is too envious, each of them has his or her own destiny.
Besides, the job of chopping wood is quite suitable for two people.
After leaving the backyard gate, we followed a steep and rugged path down the back mountain. We separated from the water fetchers on the mountainside and walked across a single-plank bridge to Chaishan Mountain.
The name of Chaishan Mountain was also heard from people. All the firewood in the temple was obtained from here. It was also said that the trees on this mountain had no other use except for burning fires, so they were also called chamois trees.
Lingqing and the others took a few steps to catch up with the senior brothers who had gone ahead.
Among them are not only the uncle and nephew of the Li family and some talented people, but also some senior brothers in the dungeon.
Then Liu Yun was assigned to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden, and he was not with everyone else.
But I heard that manure must be applied to the vegetable garden, so it’s no wonder that Liu Yun complained.
When they reached Chaishan Mountain, they followed the example of others and found a tree separately.
Lingqing put the hemp rope aside, picked up the ax and struck at the root of the tree.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound like a bell sounded, and the bark of the tree did not move at all.
At the same time, a force bounced off the axe, causing his hands to go numb and his bones to become soft and tender. He almost couldn't control the strength and fell to the ground.
The same goes for Zhang Zhe on the other side.
"Hahaha~" The others laughed when they saw this.
Only then did the two of them realize that they were just showing off and not taking any action.
Most of the people who took action were the senior brothers who had entered the profession early.
After a while, the man named Li Li came over and said to the two of them: "The wood in Chaishan is very hard. We all climb up the tree first and chop some twigs.
If you want to cut down the entire tree, you have to wait for a while and get familiar with it."
"Thank you." The two thanked him after hearing this.
Seeing that they had no fun watching, the others climbed up the trees to chop firewood.
"It's okay, don't be angry, no one has any ill intentions, this is how we all come here."
Li Li was afraid that the two of them had grudges, so he walked up and said.
When the two of them saw it, it was indeed the case. Even the junior brothers were just showing off nearby, just waiting to see their fun.
When he saw Li Li coming over to explain to the two of them, he started walking up the mountain to find some stronger trees to chop.
"It doesn't matter, let's just tease others together next time." Zhang Zhe raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"That's right." Ling Qing agreed with a smile.
"Good, atmospheric."
Li Li gave a thumbs up and said with a mysterious look: "Let me tell you something again, try your best to chop wood, and try to carry as much wood back as possible in one trip.
You can carry as much strength as you have, and you can carry as much as you can. Don’t worry about your strength.”
"Thank you, Brother Li." Ling Qing and the other two were thoughtful after hearing this, then came back to their senses and thanked them again.
After listening to Li Li's words, Lingqing put the ax on his waist, grabbed the tree with both hands, and jumped up the tree like a spiritual ape.
What he gained after upgrading Wu Qinxi to the expert level was not only the attribute value, but also the martial arts experience expected from the expert level.
Now his skills are comparable to those who have practiced martial arts since childhood.
Of course, this is compared to the warriors a year ago when there were no time fragments.
Now people like Tian Yong and Zhang Zhe have developed their internal strength after going through several dungeons.
Since the appearance of dungeons, martial arts can be roughly divided into two types.
One is to exercise qi and blood, exercising muscles, bones and skin externally, and one breath internally.
But this energy is not used to attack, but to prevent the energy from leaking after being held in the mouth.
One is the static method of moving the inner breath, puncturing the meridians and acupuncture points, and rubbing the inner breath.
When it is in operation, it can increase physical strength internally and sharpen weapons externally.
The Wuqinxi of Lingqing Academy is a dynamic exercise that trains Qi and blood, while Tian Yong and Zhang Zhe obtained the static exercise of moving the inner breath in the dungeon.
However, both dynamic and static skills are not the same. Instead, there is stillness within movement, and there is movement within stillness.
It's just a different preference.
After opening the bridge between heaven and earth and entering the realm of innateness, there is basically no big difference.
Moreover, fighting style and training method are not the same thing. Being able to practice does not necessarily mean that you can fight, and being able to fight does not mean that his kung fu level is high.
Lingqing climbed up the tree, sat down on a branch, selected a branch as thick as an arm, picked up the ax and chopped it down.
He used the stick technique that he had redeemed in the Special Affairs Department before, the "smashing and smashing" technique.
"Click~"
Looking at the gap cut on it, Ling Qing felt happy.
"There is a door!"
The branch looked about the same thickness as his stick, and its hardness wasn't much different.
You must know that his wooden staff is made of iron birch and can withstand bullets.
Fortunately, the ax is sharp, otherwise it would be hard to say.
Since Li Li said he would spare no effort and use all his strength, there is no need for him to lie.
Chapter completed!
