Chapter 1 Finding Fault Cultivation
"Poof, poof, poof......"
In a rather spacious hall, an old man dressed in gray, with gray hair and sunken eyes, held a saw with string at both ends of his bare shoulders, sawing a bucket of iron pine wood the thickness of a bucket.
The iron pine wood is as hard as iron, and the rope that is like a thin needle has been deeply embedded in the iron pine wood, and under the old man's back and forth, it keeps making a 'poof' sound, which is dull and thick, far less crisp and loud than the 'snort' sound of the iron saw.
On the shelves on both sides of the hall are all kinds of wood carvings, including lifelike birds, bees and butterflies, vivid fairy children, beasts and poultry of various shapes, and yaksha imps with angry eyes, each of which is a realistic anomaly, if it were not for the shrunken wood carvings, anyone would think that these are some living beings.
Just as the old man was sweating like rain and sawing wood with a rope, there was a 'squeak', and the door of the hall was pushed open a crack, and then a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old flashed in.
The young man's complexion is slightly yellow, his face is slightly thin, the bridge of his nose is slightly pointed, his lips are thin, the corners of his eyes are slightly long, his round eyes are like a starry sky, flashing with a tenacious and resolute air, and he has a gray storage bag pinned to his waist.
"Grandpa, today's roast chicken is really delicious, it seems that it was roasted by the Gao family in the east, it's really good, it's good, it's too ...... It's so delicious. ”
With gobbling up, the young man grabbed the wine jug next to him, and drank a few sips of wine instead of water, and then looked at the wire saw in the old man's hand, frowned, and said while eating: "Grandpa, you have been sawing this iron pine wood for three months, change the iron saw, and it will be sawed in an hour, really, you know that you are honing your state of mind, and you don't know that you think you are stupid?"
Seeing that the old man didn't speak, the young man didn't say anything, and then continued to eat, and when the young man ate the whole roast chicken, the rope as thin as a hair needle on the rope saw in the old man's hand suddenly broke with a 'snap'.
Such a change made the young man startled, and then stood up, signaled the broken wire saw and said quickly to the old man: "Grandpa, the green scale snake tendon is broken, the green scale snake tendon is broken." ”
"What's all the fuss, isn't it just a green-scaled snake tendon? If it's broken, it's broken, and grandpa will find another one tomorrow." ”
After a reply, the old man picked up the wire saw in his hand and looked at it, and then looked at the iron pine wood that had been sawn almost halfway, then shook his head and sighed slightly: "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!
Then he ignored it, threw the wire saw aside, his palm moved slightly, and an invisible qi was released, and the iron pine wood was immediately moved aside, the old man wiped his sweat, looked at the young man who was full of wine and food, smiled slightly, and said: "Yuan Dian, you have eaten enough wine and food, it seems that the results of finding fault today are good?"
"Hehe, grandpa, today's grandson is really good, in the face of two condensing three-layer loose cultivators, defeated one person, scared the other person to flee in a hurry, how about it?
Hearing the young man known as Yuan Dian say this, the old man nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, and Yuan Dian also let out a long breath, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Grandpa is finally satisfied." ”
The boy known as Yuan Dian is a casual cultivator in Miyang City, the capital of Ju Kingdom in the southeast of the Qionglei Peninsula, who has just entered the third layer of condensation, and his grandfather, who does not know the geometry of cultivation, has opened a wood carving workshop here to rely on each other, integrate into the mortal dust, and make a living while cultivating.
Two years ago, when Yuan Dian was twelve years old, when he followed his grandfather out to look for carved wood, he met two monks fighting the law, facing the scene of fireballs flying and ice arrows volleying, Yuan Dian directly sighed the strength of the monk's immortal family, that is, on this day, grandpa told him that he could also cultivate, and he could also become a person of cultivation, and at the same time threw him a copy.
From then on, Yuan Dian stepped into the path of cultivation under the guidance of his grandfather, and after condensing the first layer of qi, he began to find fault with his cultivation at the request of his grandfather.
The so-called cultivation of finding fault means that Yuan Dian took the initiative to find other monks of the same level to fight, and was defeated or defeated by others, that is, he was beaten or made up, but the results of the two were very different.
The consequence of being beaten and defeated is that there is no dinner, and there is no food for three days in a row, and if you beat someone and defeat your opponent, you can eat and drink as much as you like today.
In addition to the two spells, the former can ensure that he will not be remembered when he changes his appearance when he finds fault with others, and the latter, Yuan Dian is more important, every time he finds fault and is invincible, after running the Tianxing Technique, the speed is extremely fast, and he can escape and save his life.
For the results of the process of finding fault every time, almost without Yuan Dian to tell, grandpa will be extremely clear, which makes him never dare to lie, and even a few times to find fault and find the iron plate, when he sees that his life is in danger, it is grandpa who appears in time to save the day.
In the face of such a grandfather who controls the overall situation, only Yuan Dian, who has cultivated at the third level of condensation, guessed that his grandfather was at least a monk in the foundation building period, otherwise it would be impossible to be extremely clear about all his actions, so he had more confidence in the action of finding faults, but grandpa strictly ordered him to only find the stubble of a monk of the same level, and he was not allowed to find someone higher than his cultivation, unless his cultivation stepped into the fourth layer of condensation and entered the middle stage of condensation.
"In the middle of condensation, I want to reach it as soon as possible. Every time he thought of this, Yuan Dian would secretly encourage himself.
In the two years since he stepped into the cultivation realm, Yuan Dian naturally knew some things about cultivating the truth, condensing qi and small shrimps, everywhere; building a foundation of big crabs, rampant and unscrupulous; knotting Dan is like a dragon, controlling a qiē, as for the monks above the knot pill stage, Yuan Dian has heard of some, but has never seen it, that only exists in zài and imagination.
The 331st phase of the Qi Condensation Period where he is now is divided into four phases: primary, middle, post, and consummation, with a total of 12 layers, and Yuan Dian has just entered the second half of the early stage of Qi Condensation, and there is still some distance from the middle stage?
"Yuan Dian, starting tomorrow, you have to change it and set your target on the three sect monks who are like small shrimps. ”
"What, grandpa, those are the three major sects!" Hearing grandpa say this, Yuan Dian stood up from the spot suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at his grandfather with surprise.
The three small shrimp sects mentioned by grandpa refer to the Quyang Sect in the Ju Kingdom, the Flying Demon Mountain and the Qinwang Sect dominated by the Ju royal family, they are the real masters of the entire Ju Kingdom, as a sect group, they are extremely powerful, there are hundreds of Qi Condensation Stage monks of the same level as him alone, and there are Yudan Stage monks in the sect.
The most important thing is that these sect monks are often in groups, large and small, strong and weak, almost no one is alone, Yuan Dian also once played their idea, but seeing their uniform costumes, the pace of three or five together, finally gave up this idea with interest.
Sect monks are different from loose cultivators, they are more powerful, more organized, find fault with loose cultivation, at most offend one or two people, find fault with sect monks, that is a whole body, a bad one will cause great trouble.
When Yuan Dian told his grandfather about these concerns, his grandfather showed the disdain that often appeared, and said to Yuan Dian as if he were nothing: "Don't worry, there are only a few sects that look like shrimp, there is nothing to be afraid of, just go to find fault, and grandpa will carry it." ”
Again. Seeing his grandfather so domineering, Yuan Dian also grunted in his heart.
In his memory, whenever he described some powerful monks he saw, his grandfather was full of disdain, and even ignored it, as if it was the elders of the three major sects of the Ju Kingdom standing in front of him, he would not roll his eyelids, but that kind of disdain seemed to be brought by nature, every time he saw his grandfather's expression, Yuan Dian would mutter: "Does grandpa really have his own confidence?"
Just as Yuan Dian was thinking about how to complete the task arranged by his grandfather tomorrow, his grandfather's words came to his ears: "Yuan Dian, two years of low-level training is enough for you, from tomorrow, you have to accept a new cultivation method, otherwise there will never be a day to come out, and there will never be a time to be strong." ”
Without waiting for Yuan Dian to reply, Grandpa looked at the various wood carvings on the shelves around the living room, and whispered thoughtfully as if teaching Yuan Dian: "Yuan Dian, the world of cultivation is bigger, Ju Country is just a small place that can't be smaller, you can never become a strong person when you stay here, and when you go out, you will find many things that make you ashamed of yourself, the most important thing is your family mission, your responsibility, and your ......."
Speaking of this, Grandpa suddenly stopped speaking, stopped speaking, looked at Yuan Dian, a trace of pain appeared on his face, and then shook his head helplessly, as if he was in deep thought.
Seeing his grandfather's expression, Yuan Dian didn't open his mouth even though he had all kinds of questions in his heart, because he knew that even if he asked, it would be in vain, and his grandfather would not tell him.
He is no longer a child, and it can be deduced from Grandpa's words that he does not belong here, and that he has his own hatred and mission on his shoulders, and when the time comes, Grandpa will tell him all about it, either in the middle of the condensation, or in the later stage or even more distant days, but not now.
Looking at Yuan Dian, who was also in deep thought, Grandpa sighed softly, patted his shoulder softly with his calloused palm, like dead wood, and said with love: "Yuan Dian, good boy, you will know in the future, tomorrow, tomorrow continue your cultivation of finding fault, remember, this time, the target is the monks of the three small shrimp sects." ”
Hehe, such a scene was designed at the beginning, and that was because I was not admitted to high school when I graduated from junior high school, and I studied carpentry for a while, but I only studied for a month, and then I obediently repeated it.
Oh, I used to be a carpenter, and what I can tell you is that the carpenter's apprenticeship exam is to make small benches, the kind that have four legs, and the kind that is the most difficult to do, because you can't use an iron nail.
Hehe, our story has begun, friends, a lot of support!
