Chapter 7 Tempering the Body and Refining the Heart
"Look at the knife!"
“BIU…!”
During the National Day holiday, all the crops in the fields were gone, so a group of half-aged and half-aged men in the village often gathered together to have fun and play wildly.
Me, Li Xuefeng, Fan Guoqing, and Wang Keyun, all four of them have a flying knife in their hands. Behind the flying knife, half of the red scarf when they were in elementary school, is both beautiful and can increase the balance performance of the flying knife.
Although they had the flying knife I polished, the accurate head of the flying knife was really terrible and I couldn't praise it. They threw it out ten times in the middle, and the tip of the knife was very few times.
hey-hey!
I feel so proud inside.
Over the past period of time, the most obvious thing about polishing the flying knife on the "Fenbao Cliff" is that the power is significantly improved. In the past, the flying knife could be hit more than ten meters at most, but now, in addition to the flying knife, it can be stabbed more than thirty meters, and can also be accurately pierced on a tree and into two parts.
Also, my appetite has also been greatly improved. I used to be able to eat two bowls of rice, but now I only have seven parts of my fill if I go on three bowls of rice.
"Half-old man, I'll die!"
More than once, grandpa sighed. I knew that he was worried that there was not enough food at home.
Although my mother passed away, the land that the village distributed to her was still there, including the land of my bastard father who ran away from home and the land of my deceased grandmother, which was a total of more than 40 acres, all of which were mountainous.
However, my grandfather was not in good health. In addition, I was young and there were no mules and horses to plow the fields at home, so I could only send them to other people's homes for planting when I was a little farther away and steeper. There were only two acres of flat land in front of the door, which was the main source of my life and my grandfather's life.
In recent years, all the surrounding villages have suffered from severe droughts for years. Only a few villages near our Kunlun Village have good weather. These two acres of land are just enough to make my grandfather and I fill our stomachs.
If my appetite continues to grow, it will be a big deal!
There are dozens of families in the village, but my family has no cattle, sheep, mules and horses. After the holiday, most of my friends will replace the adults to stock up and release horses. I usually follow them to play.
Fortunately, during the holidays, every day when I go out to run around the mountains with my friends, I will bring some pheasants and rabbits to supplement the food at home when I go home.
I hit these with a flying knife.
"This child Tianqi, who is playing with the flying knife is so good!"
"You kid should be careful, don't be fooled at people. It will be bad if you pierce someone!"
“…”
When the adults in the village saw me, they couldn't help but remind me a few words, and that it would be no trivial to stab someone with such a accurate flying knife.
Young people generally don't last for something they play.
By the way, Wang Keyun and others were originally jealous of my flying knife skills. Even if they had flying knifes in their hands, they did not have the ability of me. In a few days, they lost interest in flying knifes.
These days, they have started playing with wooden swords and wooden swords.
Every day when they were free to stock, they rode on their own horses, waving the swords with wood pins and answering, learning from the scenes of fighting on the battlefield of generals on TV was very exciting.
I also have a wooden knife, but there are no horses at home... Whenever I see them playing like this, I am so envious. Although I can borrow horses from other friends to play for a while, I don’t have much fun.
Not rare anymore!
On the third day, I went home at noon, took a beautiful sleep, and then found a thick steel bar more than one meter long in my grandfather's pile of tools.
Others are playing with wooden swords, so I am going to build a real sword, so I won’t envy those guys to death!
"What are you going to do with this ball?" Seeing this, my grandfather, who was basking in the sun in the yard, his wrinkles on his red face became denser, and he looked like he was disappointed that I was so angry.
“…”
I stuck out my tongue and flicked out of the house with a hammer and steel bars.
Grandpa can no longer control me.
When I walked outside the village, I saw a few people with briefcases under my arms, and a Taoist priest in a long robe talking in the ruins outside the village. Wang Keyun's father and village chief were also among them. On the way into the village, there was a dusty grass-green jeep parked.
Who are those people?
Curiously, I came over and listened to what they said.
"What a pity! What a pity!"
When I walked over, the first thing that entered my ear was the words of a Taoist priest. He looked about forty years old, his sparse hair was fixed on the top of his head with a hairpin, his forehead was wide and shiny, his eyebrows were sparse, his eyes were narrow but long but very vivid, especially his nose was bent like an eagle-mouthed, his cheeks were thin, his cheeks were protruding, and his appearance was very unique and simple.
The black robe looked very wide on his thin body, and his Taoist accent spoke very standard Mandarin like a TV news anchor.
"yes!"
The one who took over the Taoist's words was Village Chief Wang.
He wore a black baseball cap and a filter cigarette in his mouth. He had a fat face and a round figure. When he saw me approaching, his brows frowned slightly, as if he hated my arrival.
The Taoist looked at me and frowned slightly. As for the other people, they just took a casual look and didn't care.
Wang Village continued: "The ruins of more than ten acres can show how spectacular Kunlun Taoist Temple was. I still remember the scene here when I was a child, which is a pity!"
Listening to their conversation, it is obvious that the Kunlun Taoist Temple was before this ruins.
"President Liu, what do you think? Your association really wants to rebuild Kunlun Taoist Temple. Our village must strongly support it. Recently, the county leaders strongly advocate the development of tourism. I think that if you build some Taoist temples in the ruins of Kunlun Village, you should not completely restore them to their original appearance and attract many people from the city to come here to travel."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a briefcase under his arms. I had seen him several times, and it seemed like he was a leader in the village.
When the Taoist heard the leader's words, he seemed a little unhappy in his eyes, but it was fleeting. "With the strong support from your countryside, this is even better!"
After a pause, he sighed and said, "Yes, it was so difficult to restore the Kunlun Taoist Temple back then. The predecessors spent thirty years to build the Kunlun Taoist Temple in it. Although life is better than before, it still cannot be restored in less than ten or eight years."
"This is a great thing. If you really want to restore Kunlun Taoist Temple, every household in our village can work hard." Village Chief Wang rubbed his hands aside, and his tone could not hide his excitement.
"Okay, then I will thank Village Chief Wang first!"
The Taoist also looked very pleased when he heard the words of Village Chief Wang. Then, he changed his subject and looked at me and asked, "Whose child is this?"
Village Chief Wang casually replied: "It's the old blacksmith's grandson!"
"He's a good seedling!"
The Taoist looked at me carefully and suddenly said something inexplicable. Village Chief Wang and the village leader looked at each other and said nothing.
Is Kunlun Taoist Temple going to be rebuilt?
These people quickly left by car and sat on the "Fenbao Cliff" in the middle of the ruins. I suddenly felt a sense of melancholy for no reason.
Will the ‘Fenbao Cliff’ be taken away by these people?
Even if they couldn't get rid of it, they rebuilt Kunlun Taoist Temple here, and in the future, I would not be able to easily get in touch with the "Fenbao Cliff".
...
After thinking for a long time, I shook my head and felt that I had thought a little too much. Rebuilding the Kunlun Taoist Temple could not be rebuilt in one or two days. Let’s talk about the future.
clang…!
Under the scorching sun, I shook my arms and started working.
Every time I hit, the feeling of dizziness in my head was always controlled by me within a range that I could bear, and the cool breath in my body was not controlled by me.
Although the sun is poisonous, my whole body quickly becomes transparent and refreshing from the inside out.
It has been a month since the thunder and rain that day, and now, I have discovered that the magic of "Fenbao Cliff" has been almost a month. During this period, I have polished seven or eight flying knives continuously and found some knocks on the door.
While beating the steel, my spirit and body are also magically tempered, especially my spirit, and all perceptions of the outside world are becoming clearer and clearer.
...
Fight! Take a break!
That's it, after dinner, I continued to beat the "sword".
I can't have fun with each other!
I like the feeling of making a blacksmith on Fenbao Cliff, and I like the changes that I bring to my body afterwards.
The sun sets soon. Tonight, the sky is full of dark clouds, no moon, and no stars. Maybe it is because I am very at ease around Fenbaoya, or maybe I forgot time and forgot to be afraid because I was too devoted. I didn’t notice that it was dark at any time.
“…”
My attention became more and more focused. Later, I could even subtly sense that after every time I dropped the hammer, a mysterious thing penetrated into the "sword" on the Fenbao Cliff, changing its characteristics bit by bit.
I have never done something so attentively when I grew up.
In my body, the cool breath was circling up and down, and when it reached the two eyebrows between my forehead, it was the most active. This was also the most refreshing moment for my mind.
The whole Fenbao Cliff gave me a sense of intimacy, accompanied by my clearness and clarity of my head became more and more obvious.
...
Gradually, in my world, there was only the hammer in my hand, the "sword" in my eyes and the "Fenbao Cliff" in my heart. I wonder if it was an illusion, but even the shape of the "Fenbao Cliff" buried deep underground was, I gradually felt the general outline.
"clang……!"
Another hammer fell.
"Boom..."
The hammer was still very light and the sound was very small, but a sudden thunderous sound was made in my mind, especially between my eyebrows, which suddenly exploded.
What's wrong!
Before I could think too much, the stars in front of me were everywhere, but the light in my mind was filled with light and everything was empty.
This moment.
Time seemed to have stopped, and I clearly captured that the "Fenbao Cliff" under me shrank sharply and turned into a purple light, entering the middle of my eyebrows. In my belly, there was also a purple light pouring into my eyebrows.
And my body was suspended in the air, surrounded by purple rays.
The next moment.
The purple glow gathered into my body, and my body fell straight down.
“…”
Chapter completed!
