Qiao Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard Duan Tiangu's words, and then he looked at Duan Tiangu's eyes, saw a look of longing flashing in his eyes, and nodded.

Duan Tiangu's face showed a look of joy, and there was a kind of excitement and longing that Qiao Yuan couldn't understand in his eyes, his figure flashed, and he immediately disappeared in place, and after a while, when he reappeared, there were already dozens of trees as thick as Lianjing Mountain's waist at the door of this mansion.

When Lian Jingshan saw this scene, he naturally knew why, his heart was pounding, and his eyes revealed an infinite desire to enter the realm of sinking his heart.

He hurriedly stepped forward, took out a machete from his storage bag, and with a few clicks, broke down the trees into pieces of firewood.

"Little junior brother, come and teach us how to chop wood?"

Lian Jingshan took a short time to deal with all the big trees, he looked at the piles of firewood that were piled up like a mountain, as if he saw a treasure, his eyes showed a fiery color, he quickly walked to Qiao Yuan's side, and said with a smile.

Qiao Yuan showed a rather strange smile on his face, the development of this matter was too dramatic, originally he was a junior brother, and he was brought by Lian Jingshan, a senior brother, to see his master, but it turned out that he, a junior brother, came here to teach his senior brother and master to chop wood.

However, he didn't mean to be unhappy, he just felt a little funny, Qiao Yuan stepped forward, picked up a piece of firewood, and said carefully to Duan Tiangu and Lian Jingshan.

"The first step of chopping firewood is to observe, observe the texture of this firewood, measure the length, width and height of this firewood, and weigh its weight, these points are very important, only by understanding this piece of firewood, can you chop this piece of firewood, you look at this piece of firewood, the lines are straight......"

Qiao Yuan was in front of them, although his cultivation was not worth mentioning, but this carefulness moved the two of them.

Every line on this firewood, every hole, as well as the point of falling the knife, as well as the strength of the falling knife, all these things, Qiao Yuan explained them all, and it can be said that he can no longer find any problems and mistakes.

Duan Tiangu and Lian Jingshan listened to Qiao Yuan's explanation, and their hearts were extremely shocked, if it weren't for Qiao Yuan's chopping wood today, they might not have known that this chopping wood actually hid so much knowledge in their lives.

After Qiao Yuan finished explaining, he held the knife in his right hand, raised it, fell, and with a click, a piece of firewood was perfectly divided into two pieces of uniform and regular fine firewood.

Lian Jingshan picked up these two pieces of fine firewood, rubbed them carefully, and observed them carefully, with a look of amazement on his face.

Duan Tiangu also picked up the firewood and observed, his eyes showed a bright light, as if a traveler lost in the desert had found the direction of his way, and the joy on his face was self-evident.

Qiao Yuan picked up a piece of firewood again, held a knife in his right hand and firewood in his left hand, and said slowly.

"In fact, if you want to chop a piece of firewood, you only need to master the four words of heart, eye and body, the heart is quiet, you must have no distractions when chopping wood, you can't be disturbed by other things, the eye is accurate, you must be accurate when you observe, and you must be accurate when you fall the knife, and you can't have the slightest deviation. ”

"Stable, when chopping firewood, you must be stable, otherwise it will inevitably affect the accuracy of the knife, and finally the force is even, which needs to be realized by yourself, and slowly grasp to ensure that when chopping each piece of firewood, the strength used is uniform, not when it is large and small. ”

After Duan Tiangu heard Qiao Yuan's words, there was a look of confusion in his eyes, and he was very familiar with the four words of heart, eye and physical strength.

In his early years, he had obtained an ancient book, and the ancient book mentioned the four words of mind, eye, and body, which contained a kind of Tao, but Duan Tiangu was limited to cultivation and could not understand it, and only knew that if he could understand one of the words, he could realize his own Dao, so that his cultivation would go further.

But now he heard Qiao Yuan carefully explain these four words, which had nothing to do with the Tao, all of them were related to chopping wood, and his eyes showed doubts and confusion, but after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said secretly in his heart: "The old man is difficult to understand, how can he understand a little doll." ”

Lian Jingshan naturally didn't know what Duan Tiangu was thinking, he listened to Qiao Yuan's explanation very carefully, and only wanted to realize the state of sinking his heart by chopping wood.

"Master, senior brother, that's all I know, and the rest is up to you to understand, but remember, don't use the power of a monk when chopping wood, just treat yourself as a mortal. ”

After Qiao Yuan finished saying all the things about chopping wood, he told the two of them seriously.

The two of them nodded when they heard Qiao Yuan's advice, Duan Tiangu looked at Qiao Yuan, with a look of relief in his eyes, and said seriously.

"Xiaoyuan, when I accepted you as an apprentice for the teacher, on the one hand, it was for the sake of face, and on the other hand, I had some selfish intentions, so in the past few months, the teacher has not taught you much, this is the responsibility of the teacher, but I am very pleased to see that you can study the prohibition so hard. ”

Qiao Yuan naturally knew that Duan Tian accepted him as an apprentice, and he didn't really treat him as an apprentice, which he could understand, after all, even Jingshan was a cultivator who had attained the consummation of the Dan, and he was only a qi refining cultivator.

Even if he is Jingshan's apprentice, Yi Chenfeng has the cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, what qualifications does he have to become Duan Tiangu's apprentice, but Duan Tiangu has a strange temper, has always been stubborn, and his cultivation is profound, most people will not say it explicitly, but they will definitely discuss this matter secretly.

Therefore, Qiao Yuan was still a little happy in his heart when he heard Duan Tiangu say this, after all, this was Duan Tiangu slowly beginning to recognize Qiao Yuan.

"There is still more than a month to go before the sect competition, you go to the Forbidden Array Tower to hone and hone. As a teacher, I hope you can break the enemy with a ban on the big competition, so that you can make a long face for my May Peak. ”

Duan Tiangu said with a look of encouragement in his eyes, he originally didn't want Qiao Yuan to participate in the sect competition, after all, this was a competition between disciples, if it was about seniority, Qiao Yuan was a generation higher than some elders in the sect, wouldn't it be a shame to participate in this kind of competition.

But now that Qiao Yuan can enter the realm of Shen Xin, he knows that as long as Qiao Yuan is provided with the conditions to study the prohibition, Qiao Yuan will definitely go very far on the way to the formation in the future, so he proposed to let Qiao Yuan participate in the big competition, and he will use the ban to break the enemy.

He believed that with Qiao Yuan's forbidden talent, it would not be a problem to shine in the sect competition, and he really wanted to see what Yan Chenzi's expression was at that time.

It was the first time Qiao Yuan had heard of the Forbidden Array Tower, after all, his understanding of the May Peak was limited to the understanding on the map, and he had never been to most of the places in the May Peak, listening to the name of the Forbidden Array Tower, it was not difficult for Qiao Yuan to guess what kind of place it was.

Lian Jingshan saw Qiao Yuan's expression, and said with a smile.

"Little junior brother doesn't know where the forbidden array tower is, senior brother will send you there. ”

Qiao Yuan nodded, and after saying goodbye to Duan Tiangu, he followed Lian Jingshan towards the bottom of the mountain.

The Forbidden Array Tower, as the name suggests, is a tower built by forbidden and formations, and its appearance is made of inkstone, the main material for arranging formations, and is divided into eighteen layers.

The first nine layers only have prohibitions, which include four types of prohibitions for attack, auxiliary, and defense, as well as many combined prohibitions, while the last nine layers are the coexistence of prohibitions and formations, and the complexity of the forbidden formations will increase dozens of times for each upper layer.

It itself is a heavy treasure of May Peak, but it is usually used as a place of trial, and there is also a forbidden array list on the tower, and all the disciples who enter the trial in the tower will be recorded in the forbidden array list with their names and the number of layers they have climbed the tower.

And the disciples who enter the forbidden array list, after being promoted to a certain ranking, will also receive corresponding rewards, so in May Peak, most of the disciples are not higher or lower than the cultivation, but the ranking of the forbidden array.

Lian Jingshan took Qiao Yuan to the mountainside, and walked directly towards the back of May Peak, which was a dense forest, and the two of them walked not far before they saw a black tower at the end of the forest.

This black tower is octagonal, towering there like a tower to the sky, each of its floors has dozens of zhang high, a total of eighteen floors, under the rough look is nearly a thousand zhang high, go to the front to see, it is even more spectacular.

When Lian Jingshan and Qiao Yuan came to this forbidden array tower, there were more than ten disciples in front of the tower who were pranayama on their knees, Qiao Yuan saw the tired look on their faces, and he could guess that they should have entered the forbidden array tower and had just come out.

When a few disciples saw Lian Jingshan coming, they quickly stood up and stepped forward to salute him respectfully.

Lian Jingshan nodded and smiled at them, then explained two words to Qiao Yuan, and left in a hurry, everything about this forbidden array tower, when he was on the way, Lian Jingshan had already told Qiao Yuan, including the forbidden array list that recorded the ranking.

Qiao Yuan stepped forward to greet those disciples one by one, his attitude was very humble and polite, these disciples saw that Lian Jingshan and Qiao Yuan were very close, and they had a guess in their hearts, but one of the disciples saw Qiao Yuan's cultivation, and said with a kind smile on his face.

"This junior brother, you have only refined qi cultivation, why did you come here to test, although this forbidden array tower will not be in danger of life, but it is also possible to be injured by the attack prohibition in it, I advise you to go back to cultivate to the foundation building period first, and then come to the forbidden array tower." ”

When the other disciples heard this, they found that the spiritual power fluctuations on Qiao Yuan's body were indeed in the Qi refining period, although they didn't look at the cultivation in the Forbidden Array Tower, they only looked at the ranking, but if the cultivation was too low, I was afraid that they would be injured by the ban before they studied the ban.

Therefore, they all opened their mouths, persuading Qiao Yuan to go back to cultivate until the foundation building period and come here again, there was a disciple in the middle stage of foundation building, and even opened the wound that he was injured by the ban to show Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan had a wry smile on his face, looked at the string of names on the black tower, pointed to these names, and said with a chuckle.

"Aren't Qianqian and Chen Surou on this forbidden array list both Qi refining cultivators? they can all enter and get ranked, why can't I?"

When a few people heard this, they were a little speechless, if it weren't for Qiao Yuan's reminder, they would have forgotten that Qianqian and Chen Surou were qi refining cultivators, and then, under everyone's gaze, Qiao Yuan slowly walked into the gate under the black tower.
