C11 Peace Town
"Junior Zhang, do you see the scenery here?" Any one of them asked, pointing to a patch of forest in front of them.
After coming out of his room, Zhang Tianxin followed him to a small path behind the kitchen and arrived in front of a grove of trees at the back of Mount Shu. Going down from the kitchen to the forest was about the same as going to the plaza at the foot of the mountain. However, there were stone steps at the front of the mountain.
"Youngest senior brother, the scenery here is not bad, but it should also be a place for me to work in the future, right?" After Zhang Tianzhi finished answering, he continued to ask.
That's right, this is the last place I'll take you to, and also the place that belongs to you when you work and cultivate in the future. Because before, you only made a living by chopping wood, so the chopping of wood in the kitchen is handed over to you.
"Thank you, little senior brother, there won't be a problem." Although Zhang Tian Shi said this, her heart was at a loss.
"Haha!" "Junior Zhang, if you have any problems, just say it out, don't put it all on your face. I know that you will still be unable to accept it now, but cutting wood is also a type of cultivation."
"Youngest senior brother, this …" I've also chopped firewood for many years, but I haven't seen any place where I'm cultivating. "
"Good, since that's the case, then take a look at what's different between what I'm chopping and what you're chopping."
Subsequently, any Fan who was holding a machete leaped towards a five Zhang tall tree. Immediately afterwards, he slashed six times at different heights and directions before landing on the ground to kick the trunk of the tree. Crack! Crack! Crack! "Crackle!" The sound came out along with the splitting of the tree.
"Amazing, Little Senior!" "Not only did you instantly cut down the big tree, but you also split it into sections." Zhang Tian Shi looked at the almost the same length of the sixth section of the tree on the ground and said.
Although Zhang Tian Shi felt that this tree was not that thick, he still needed at least ten cuts to be able to cut it down, let alone split it in half.
"Junior Zhang, this wood chopping practice is similar to how you treat this tree as your opponent. As long as you find its weakness and break it one by one, you will be able to accomplish the task."
"So that's how it is. This tree can even be cut down like this. Thank you for your guidance, little senior brother. I will definitely train diligently."
After you cut down the trees, you can move it to the backyard of the kitchen. The path that the kitchen takes to the forest is harder to walk on in the rain, so you have to be careful of your safety, as the spiritual energy here is no weaker than that of Mount Shu, so it's very helpful for you to cultivate. Also, you have to remember that you can't go to the huge cave behind the forest, which is the restricted area of Mount Shu. After giving the machete to Zhang Tian Shi, Ren Fan pointed at the depths of the forest and warned.
"Alright, I really have to thank Junior Martial Brother for his help all this time."
"Haha!" This is my responsibility as the youngest senior brother. As for what your results will be in the future, that will depend on your own good fortune. "
Any of these words caused Zhang Tianxin to no longer be at a loss. Towards this Junior Apprentice Brother who was so eager to help her, he could not help but think of Dragon Creek Mountain's masked Great Hero. From then on, he felt that there were still many good people in this world.
"… …"
"Come here, come here." After any of the Fan family had left, Zhang Tianxin, who was training by herself to chop firewood, suddenly felt a mysterious call.
"Who?" Zhang Tianzhi looked around to see that there was no one around and felt that the call was coming from the depths of the forest.
"I must have been hallucinating after chopping firewood. The one behind it is the forbidden area of Mount Shu that Junior Martial Brother mentioned. Why would someone call for me?" Zhang Tian Shi said to herself as she looked into the depths of the forest.
"… …"
In her free time, she would also go to the library to study the Mount Shu Sword Style. At the same time, she also looked forward to meeting Fang Weixue, but she would not go greet her, but would only watch from afar. Sometimes, when she was alone in the forest, she would hear a mysterious voice calling her name.
The Supreme Purity Hall of Mount Shu —
"Junior Martial Brother Wang, how's the youngster with the broken sword doing recently?" The Sect Leader asked Wang Shoufeng.
"Head senior brother, it seems that the young man was appointed to the kitchen to chop firewood. Before he came to Mount Shu, he only chopped firewood for a living, so now he is also training in the forest every day. Thus, there is nothing special about him." However, his results in the entrance exam are still quite good, so he was somehow assigned to that place. So, should I bring him back to live and cultivate with the other new disciples? " After which, Elder Wang Shoufeng asked.
"He went into the forest to chop firewood? Are there any complaints or dissatisfaction? " The Mount Shu Sect Leader did not reply, but continued to ask.
"I've never heard of it. Moreover, it seems that he is on good terms with that little ghost. Moreover, he seems to like this kind of wood-cutting practice." Elder Wang Shoufeng replied.
"Mm …" "Then there's no need to transfer it back. We'll continue to wait and see." The Sect Leader stood up and stroked his beard, as if he had some other deep meaning.
A year later, in the forest behind Mount Shu —
"Haha!" Tian Shi was amazing! I never thought that it would be so effective in a short year. Looks like your talent and comprehension ability is extremely high as well! " Any Fan who looked at a good tree branch on the ground would laugh and say, "Junior Brother Zhang Tian Shi is no longer called Zhang Tian Shi, who has a good relationship with me."
"You flatter me, Yifan. Compared to you, I'm still too far off." Zhang Tianxin, who had mastered the swordsmanship of Mount Shu not long ago, had become a swordsman. Furthermore, she no longer called any mortal who had a good relationship with her a junior senior brother.
"You're being modest. Look at you, dividing up such a thick tree trunk shorter than I did before, and you became a Swordsman in less than a year even though you didn't have any basic skills before. Most of the other people with basic skills aren't as fast as you are!" But when you were training in the sword, why did you not use a good sword, and instead used this broken sword the entire time? " Any one of them asked.
"This broken sword was left to me by my father. He also accompanied me through many trials and tribulations along the way. Moreover, I've already gotten used to using it." Although Zhang Tianzhi answered without thinking, in her heart she couldn't tell anyone that this was the Jade Sun Sword, the ancient divine weapon. At the same time, she felt that those ordinary swords could not compare to this sword.
However, up until now, Zhang Tian Shi still could not see anything special about the broken sword other than the fact that it was broken.
"Is that so? Then your broken sword is definitely not ordinary." "Also, you saw that the weather today is not bad, and I also saw that you were here for a year and your whole body was getting moldy, so I took you out to roam around." As any mortal spoke, he pulled Zhang Tian Shi along with him as they walked down the mountain.
"Ah?" "It's against the rules of the Mount Shu Sect to believe that Mount Shu has not received an order!" Zhang Tian Shi said.
"Aiya! Wouldn't it be great if we could sneak out without being discovered! " After saying that, any one of them secretly pulled Zhang Tianzhi away from Mount Shu.
The Supreme Purity Hall of Mount Shu —
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, there are several citizens of Peace Town at the foot of Mount Shu seeking help from Mount Shu." One of the Mount Shu disciples cupped his fist and said to the Sect Leader.
"Did something happen?" The Sect Leader asked.
"I heard from those people that there were a lot of accidental disappearances in the town and the deaths happened. That's why I'm here to ask Mount Shu for their help."
"What about the living dead?"
"I heard they said that the living dead were people who accidentally died, but they suddenly came back to life. Moreover, their temperament became violent, and they would bite anyone they saw, as if they had completely lost all reason. Furthermore, those who were bitten by living dead people would first die, and then suddenly become live dead people. So now, the people in the town no longer dare to go out casually, and the number of living dead has already reached over a hundred people. These living dead would wander on the streets at night, but in the daytime, they would suddenly disappear, and at night, they would appear from who knows where. "
"This is a serious problem. How did the local mayor and military officers deal with it?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, the local mayor also accidentally died, and a lot of the officers who were bitten or wounded by the living dead in the beginning did become living corpses, so the remaining officers didn't care about protecting their lives at all."
"Alright, quickly send an order for Ye Hua Qing and Fang Weixue to bring the Mount Shu disciples to Peace Town to check out the situation and help the people. If there's anything important, report back immediately."
Peace Town —
"Reporting to the leader, there are already 117 people who are alive and dead. We have already captured many of the people who escaped from their homes in the village, and we have prepared all the families that are still in the village. The civilians who were sent to Mount Shu for help have also made some progress, and Mount Shu has already sent their eldest disciple, Ye Huanqing, to lead other Mount Shu disciples into this trap." A black-clothed man said to the leader of the black-clothed men who wanted to capture Princess Shi Mu.
"There aren't enough survivors yet. Continue to capture and create the corpses. Those Mount Shu disciples must be well-received. Do not let the lord down!" The leader said.
"Yes sir!"
"… …"
"Yifan, where is this? Why aren't you going back at night? " On the other side of the Peace Town, Zhang Tianzhi asked any mortal.
"I heard that there have been a lot of strange things happening in Peace Town recently. I was bored to death recently so I brought you here to take a look. I might even be able to exterminate demons and protect the citizens."
"… …"
"Everyone listen carefully, this time we are here under the orders of the Sect Leader to help the citizens investigate the matter of the living dead, so you must take care to protect yourselves from being bitten or injured by the living dead." Ye Hua Qing, who was standing outside the gate of the Peace Town, said to everyone.
"That's right, not only do we have to protect ourselves, but we cannot harm the living dead either. Although these living dead people have lost all sense of reason and are able to bite anyone they see, they are still civilians and it is not certain whether they have truly died or not. So, we need to investigate the sequence of events, and at the same time, find a way to save them." Fang Weixue said from the crowd.
"Sister Yin, don't be afraid. I will definitely protect you." Amongst the crowd, Shangguan Li whispered to Yin Chenglan, who was in high spirits, and whose appearance and figure was not much different from Fang Weixue's.
"Thank you Senior Shangguan, you should protect yourself first." Yin Chenglan cupped his fist and replied to the official's salute.
"Cheng Lan, this is the first time I've brought you out. I heard that the living dead are quite dangerous, so after encountering them, you should try your best to hide behind us to protect yourself." Fang Weixue said to Yin Chenglan.
"Don't worry, Shijie Fang. With my current strength, I can protect myself, and I won't hold you back." Yin Chenglan said.
Fang Weixue then said to the official courteously in a slightly more serious tone, "Junior brother Shangguan, you also have to hide behind us, otherwise, if something happens to you, it would be difficult for Big Senior and I to report to the Sect Leader. Plus, we didn't recommend you to come on this mission, but you insisted on coming and listen to Big Senior and me, okay?"
"What Shijie Fang said is right. You have to stick close to us." Ye Hua Qing also spoke to Shangguan Li.
"Don't worry, Shijie Fang and Eldest Senior Brother, I'll definitely be obedient and help protect your Junior Sister Yin. Moreover, I've insisted on coming here myself, even if there's something, I won't let my dad blame you." Shangguan Li replied.
"… …"
"Miss, I heard that Peace Town hasn't been safe recently!" Are we really going? " The little leopard with weird yellow hair said to Princess Shi Mu.
"Nonsense!" Now, I have to take advantage of Father and Mother's ignorance to quickly find the Beasttooth Pendant and bring it back. " Princess Shi said as she looked at the red stone in her hand.
