The breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of coolness. Yunfei felt more and more uncomfortable as he walked, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fang, why don't we go to the woods where we were yesterday?"
Fang Gu said as he walked: "That forest is very close to Dragon Slayer Peak. Do you want to disturb Master's cultivation?"
"No." Yunfei said quickly: "I don't mean that." After saying that, he asked again: "Then where should we cut down the trees?"
Fang Gu pointed in an ethereal direction ahead and said, "It's still early. I'll tell you when we get there."
The mountain road was extremely rugged and covered with weeds, making it very inconvenient to walk. If Fang Gu hadn't led the way, Yunfei would never have dared to walk down it alone. After walking for about half an hour, Yunfei was already tired.
He was panting, and the machete in his hand seemed to have been used a little harder. His right hand couldn't help but feel numb, and he didn't even have the strength to hold it tightly.
Fang Gu turned around and saw Yunfei sweating profusely, so he said, "Let's take a rest! There's no rush anyway."
Yunfei shook his head and said, "Brother Fang, I can still persist."
Seeing Yunfei's stubbornness, Fang Gu smiled slightly and said: "Exercising the tibia will not be effective in a day or two. If you continue like this, not only will you not be able to exercise, but you may fall down from fatigue. Listen to Brother Fang and sit down and rest."
rest."
Yunfei nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Fang." As he said that, he put the heavy machete beside him and sat on a piece of clean grass.
Fang Gu smiled slightly, sat next to Yunfei, and stared at the mountain road in the distance. Looking down, he saw Dragon Slayer Peak standing tall and straight, and the nearby peaks were shorter than one, which seemed quite proud. Countless trees grew on the mountain.
From a distance, the grass and trees look more like being in an ancient forest. But there are birds chirping in the forest, and the clouds are fluttering under the breeze, adding a bit of fairy spirit.
After meeting Nei Fei, he rested for a while and his breathing gradually calmed down. He looked at Fang Gu beside him and asked, "Brother Fang, I want to ask you a few questions."
Fang Gu turned his head and replied, "Just ask me anything else! As long as I know, I will definitely tell you."
Yun Fei asked: "Why is this place called Dragon Slayer Peak?"
Fang Gu said: "I heard from the master that a demon dragon appeared here three thousand years ago. The demon dragon was huge and could not be stopped by manpower. Within a hundred miles, not a single blade of grass grew, and all birds and beasts died. Later, the ancestor passed by this place and used mysterious magic.
, slaying the demon dragon with his sword in one fell swoop, but he was also seriously injured. When he was emerging, he told the five disciples that although this mountain range had no grass or trees, it was full of spiritual energy. If he could advise the sect at this moment, he would surely do so in the future.
Prosperity.”
Yun Fei nodded and said: "It is for this reason that this place is called Dragon Slayer Peak."
Fang Gu said: "Yes." After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Let me tell you a secret. It is said that after the death of the demon dragon, the inner elixir did not disappear, but fell into the mountains. Five disciples
After searching for a long time, there was no harvest, so the matter was forgotten by people in the world. I heard that the inner elixir is full of spiritual energy. If it is obtained, it can be refined into a powerful magical weapon. Our lineage has the right time and place, and if we are cutting
When I was playing firewood, I discovered that even if I don’t practice superior magic, I can still dominate with that magic weapon.”
Dominating one side? Yunfei never thought about it, he just smiled slightly and said: "Brother, since this place is called Dragon Slayer Peak, why is our sect called Piaomiao Sect?"
"Life is fleeting and fleeting." Fang Gu replied: "The founder must have seen through this and took this name."
Yunfei nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "Brother Fang, I originally thought that I could practice magic by becoming a disciple, so why do I need to cut down such trees?"
Fang Gu smiled slightly and said: "I didn't understand it at first, but I didn't know the reason until I was practicing magic. Since you want to know, senior brother, I will tell you that practicing magic is based on true energy and controls the winds in the world.
Elements such as fire, water, thunder, etc. are then condensed into spells and released. If one's own physique is not good enough, the body may collapse before the spells are condensed."
When Yunfei heard this, he nodded suddenly and said: "I understand, I must train hard in the future."
Fang Gu smiled slightly and said: "It can't be said to be hard training. After all, Taoist magic emphasizes internal training of true energy, unlike magic magic..."
Yunfei's body trembled and his expression changed drastically.
Fang Gu asked in confusion: "Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Fei came back to his senses and said quickly: "No, it's nothing. I just thought about the legendary devil when I heard you talking about the devil. It's so scary."
Fang Gu shook his head and said: "The devil does not refer to the devil, but a kind of practicing magic. The magic they practice is mainly based on the body. In order to make rapid progress, they will do whatever it takes..."
Yun Fei interrupted: "Elder brother, please talk to me about the devil's ways when you have time! I've rested, so let's go chop down the trees!"
Fang Gu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"
After walking on the rugged mountain road for half an hour, we came to a valley. In this small valley, at a glance, everything was made of gold, stone and wood, and they were unusually tall. Yunfei looked at the thick bowl.
Trees, asked: "Brother Fang, you won't let me cut down such a thick tree, will you?"
Fang Gu chuckled and said, "Junior brother, we just arrived at the edge of the valley, and the tree you want to chop is inside."
"Ah!" Yunfei asked worriedly: "Aren't the trees inside thicker than those outside?"
Fang Gu shook his head and explained: "The trees inside are dense and lack nutrients, while the trees outside are sparse and full of light." After that, the two walked into the valley. Fang Gu pointed to a golden stone tree next to him and said, "Look
, the ones here are much thinner than outside!”
When Yunfei saw it, he saw that it was indeed much thinner. The trees in front of him were only as big as his fist. He said with confidence: "That's good. I can definitely cut down three trees in one day."
Fang Gu smiled slightly and said: "Don't talk big now, you will know how difficult it is later." After speaking, he asked again: "Do you remember the way here?"
Yunfei nodded and said, "I still remember."
"That's good." Fang Gu said: "I'm going back first. In the past three months, you have to insist on three trees every day. After cutting down, put them here. Your eighth brother will take these trees to the woodshed and chop them down."
After you finish, remember to help Lao Ba carry water, and as for chopping firewood, you can do it in a month!"
"Yes, senior brother." Yun Fei said in a solemn voice, "I will do my homework well."
Fang Gu smiled slightly and said, "I'm leaving first." After saying that, he turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he said again, "Remember, I'll go back for lunch at noon."
Watching Fang Gu's figure gradually disappear from sight, Yunfei shook his head and murmured: "Is it so difficult to cut down three trees?" After saying that, he looked up and down, held the machete tightly, and used all his strength
Have the strength to look down.
Just hearing the sound of "dang", the machete fell on the metal, stone and wood. It felt like a hard stone, and the wrist was numb. Then, the machete went away and fell to the ground. The body staggered and almost fell to the ground.
.Yunfei stabilized his body and cursed in a low voice: "What a broken tree, it's so difficult to cut down."
Yunfei didn't believe that he couldn't cut down such a small tree, so he picked up the machete again and chopped down the golden stone tree. This time, the same result was obtained. Because he had no strength, his whole body fell to the ground, which was quite embarrassing.
After a while, he stood up from the ground, picked up the machete again, and swung it away.
After the first two experiences, Yunfei learned wisely. When cutting, he did not use too much force, but used skill. There was only a crisp sound, and a white mark the size of a fingernail appeared on the golden bark.
, although his wrist was a little numb, he did not let go. With this, he had a plan, held the machete tightly, and started doing his homework.
This morning, Yunfei was very busy. Because the machete was too heavy, he had to take a break every time he chopped. As a result, the chopping speed was much slower. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, but the sight in front of him was
Although most of the trees were cut down, they still did not fall down. However, Feiyun understood why these trees were called golden stone trees. The outer skin looked like gold, but the inside was as hard as stone. Even the colors were somewhat similar.
It wasn't until noon that Yunfei finished cutting down the first tree. Looking at the Jinshimu that fell to the ground, a wry smile appeared on his lips. He originally thought that the homework was easy, but it turned out to be extremely difficult, beyond his imagination.
If we continue at this speed, even if we cut down until dark, we may not be able to finish cutting down the remaining two trees.
The noon sun shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, revealing spots of light. Yunfei stood up, glanced at the way back, gritted his teeth, and held the machete in his hand again, making a decision in his heart that even if he didn't have lunch, he would
The remaining two golden stone trees must be cut down before dark.
Time passed quickly, and the sound of Yun Fei chopping down trees could be heard in the valley. At this moment, he looked even more embarrassed than at noon. His coat had been taken off, leaving only a vest, revealing his bare shoulders. He couldn't help but sweat.
As the water flowed out, he still worked hard to chop and chop, as if he had forgotten everything around him.
Finally, the sky darkened. Yunfei had just finished cutting down the second golden stone tree. It wouldn't be long before the valley would be shrouded in darkness. Even if he wanted to continue, he would not be able to complete today's homework. He raised his head and said secretly: "
What should I do? If I go back like this, senior brother will definitely look down on me."
"Elder brother will not look down on you." Fang Gu appeared behind Yunfei at some point, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good job. Although you have not finished your homework, it doesn't matter. I believe you will do it."
Make better results.”
Seeing that Fang Gu did not blame himself, Yunfei said words of encouragement and choked with sobs: "Senior Brother, I will definitely do better."
Fang Gu nodded, glanced at the sky, and then said: "You didn't eat at noon, so you must be hungry! Let's go back and eat."
