A little bird landed on a willow tree at the side. Its lively eyes darted around as it watched Tianming, who had dropped a rope in the courtyard and climbed back up.
Fu Chen was paying attention to this little bird because it had already stayed for a long time.
" It's time to eat," Gao Yue's voice came over. Tianming immediately ran into the house like a puppy and eagerly helped Gao Yue to serve the dishes.
Master Ban also walked out of the small house unsteadily with a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. The reason why he said he was holding it was because Fu Chen noticed that one of his hands was a mechanical arm. The old man seemed to have encountered some problem. He frowned and walked past Fu Chen without saying a word. He entered the house and sat at the big table, waiting for dinner.
" Wow, it's so sumptuous…" Floating Dawn walked into the house and saw the dishes on the table. He couldn't help but exclaim. The meat and vegetables were very well matched.
Duanmu Rong, Gao Yue, and Master Ban stared at the two people who had swept away the clouds with their mouths agape. They were a little frightened.
" I'm so full…" Tianming rubbed his stomach with a satisfied expression.
" Go to work," Duanmu Rong said indifferently.
"Why?" Tianming asked with his eyes wide open.
" It's a rule left by the ancestor of the Mohist family. If you don't do anything for a day, you don't eat for a day. You eat as much as you do," Gao Yue said with a smile.
" But..." Tianming wanted to retort but was stopped by Fu Chen. Fu Chen wiped his mouth and said,""Tianming, there is nothing free in this world. If you want something, you have to pay a corresponding price. This is called equivalent exchange. Let's go chop wood. I'll teach you something fun in the afternoon.”
"An equivalent exchange?" Tianming used his hand to support his chin as he thought about the meaning of that sentence. Floating Dawn lifted him up and the two of them left the room while Tianming cursed.
" This kid isn't simple. He's so young, but his words are very philosophical," Master Ban muttered.
The sound of firewood being chopped in the courtyard at dawn continued. The momentum was very strong, but the effect was very bad.
?" The method is wrong." Floating Dawn stood at the side and casually hacked.
"What's wrong? "You're clearly the one who's stronger…" Tianming was so tired that he was panting.
" Look." Fu Chen took a piece of wood and placed it on the ground. He used his axe to draw a line, then raised the axe and chopped it down. The wood was split into two.
"What? You're lying to me again, so why don't you just strike me?”Tianming was no longer deliberate and was huffing angrily.
" Look carefully." Floating Dawn ignored him. He picked up another one, drew a line with the axe, and hacked down again…
" There seems to be something different from me." Tianming's eyes widened as he looked at the piece of wood that had been hacked into a mess.
"Focus!" Ge Nia's voice came from the door. Tian Ming turned around and jumped up happily."Uncle, you're awake. That's great.”
"Tianming, do you know what concentration is?”Ge Nia's voice seemed to have a hint of gentleness.
" I don't quite understand." Tianming smiled and scratched his head. He was in a good mood.
" It's to focus on one thing, to focus on one point," Fu Chen smiled and said,""Tianming, every time you strike, you only focus on one line. That way, it will be very easy to split it.”
" Understood," Tianming muttered the word " focus " as he raised his axe and chopped down." Ka-" The wood split into two halves.
"That's it." Fu Chen threw down his axe and said,"I'm not going to kill you.""The firewood is all yours. You can connect your strength and practice concentration. Hack it properly."
" You just want to slack off," Tianming shouted in dissatisfaction.
" If you want to have fun with me in the afternoon, hurry up and hack," Floating Dawn said and walked to Ge Nia's side. Master Ban also came out and stood beside Ge Nia."You can move around so quickly. You've recovered so quickly.”
"Thanks to the Mo family's brilliant medical skills, I was lucky enough to escape. I'm really grateful!”Ge Nia cupped his hands in thanks.
" Uncle Gai, I also contributed to this," Floating Dawn interrupted.
"Thank you, young hero." Ge Nia was about to cup his hands when Fu Chen stopped him."You don't have to thank me, and you don't have to call me young hero. I'm going to be a pervert in the future. I've saved you several times anyway, so if you want to thank me, teach me the Internal Breath of the School of Political Traversing.”
"Sure!" Ge Nia did not ask what a pervert was and agreed without thinking.
"You brat!" "You've really played around with raising the price." Master Ban laughed.”
" I won't do anything that will make me suffer." Fu Chen rolled his eyes.
" Hahaha..." Master Ban laughed happily. Looking at Tianming who was still chopping firewood, he stopped laughing and said,""What an energetic kid, but he's a little strange.”
"What's wrong?" Ge Nia asked with a frown.
" There's a ball of black gas between his eyebrows. It seems like there's a hidden disease in his body," Master Ban said with a hint of pity.
" As expected, I can't hide it from Senior's eyes."This child has been placed with a Yin Yang Curse.”
"There are many types of Yin Yang Mantra.”
"The Sleeping Seal is also known as the Hypnosis Forbidden Book. It is an extremely terrifying curse. It is said that once the person is affected, it will cause the person to go crazy and eventually die.”
"What are the symptoms?" Fu Chen couldn't help but interrupt.
"It hasn't acted up yet. I don't know!"
"The Yin-Yang Art has disappeared for over a hundred years. I didn't expect that there would still be people using this art.”Master Ban sighed as if he was reminiscing about his past.
"Because it has been lost for a long time, no one can cure it. However, I believe that there is a Taoist master who once guided me who will definitely be able to undo the curse.”
"This is the reason why you left the State of Qin?”Master Ban asked.
"Yes, sir!"
"Why find a Taoist master? Just catch the person who placed the curse and let him undo it.”Fu Chen curled his lips and said indifferently.
"Brat, you're bragging again. Do you really think you're an immortal?”Master Ban glared at him and scolded,""Someone who can use this kind of curse must be very powerful. How can you catch him?”
Fu Chen stuck out his tongue at Old Man Ban and said,""When I find out who put the curse on him, I'll catch him and make him undo it. If he doesn't understand, I'll whip him…"
" Keep bragging." Old Man Ban felt that Fu Chen was deliberately trying to anger him. He ignored Fu Chen and went to his room to work on his mechanism.
"You can do it?" Ge Nia asked Fu Chen.
"Definitely!" Fu Chen guaranteed.
"Alright, I'll teach you the neixi technique of the Phantom Valley now.”Ge Nia said solemnly.
Fu Chen walked into the courtyard and said,""We'll talk about it when your injuries are more or less healed. I'm going to invent something with Tianming now.”
"Brother Chen, are we starting?" Tianming threw down his axe and ran to Fu Chen's side.
"Let's go chop some bamboo and make paper.”Fu Chen felt that it was necessary to make some paper. He was annoyed when he saw Old Man Ban and Duanmu Rong holding the bamboo slips.
"What is paper?" Tianming blinked his eyes, clearly not knowing.
" Good stuff, you'll know once you make it." Floating Dawn said as he walked out of the courtyard. Behind him, Tianming asked him to wait for him.
The two of them fiddled around for the entire afternoon. When the sun set, a few pieces of paper had already dried. Floating Dawn took them down and looked at the irregular pieces of paper. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Tianming was not suitable for inventions.
He took a dagger and cut it into a rectangular shape.
Ge Nia had been sitting cross-legged on the porch the entire afternoon, watching the two of them play around as he regulated his breathing. However, when the paper appeared, although his expression did not change much, there was an unconcealable shock in his eyes.
Gao Yue also wanted to participate, but because she had a patient to help, she was reluctantly called back to the house by Duanmu Rong. Duanmu Rong had always thought that these two had nothing better to do. As for Master Ban, he hadn't left his room for the entire afternoon. She didn't know what he was up to.
During dinner, Tianming placed the paper on the table as if he was presenting a treasure. He was extremely proud of himself.
"What is this?" Master Ban asked curiously.
" Paper," Tianming laughed and replied excitedly.
"What can I do?" Master Ban asked again.
" Uh…" Tianming was stumped. He didn't know either."What's the use?"
Fu Chen took the Russian paper and wrote a few crooked words on the paper. He continued,""It's better than bamboo slips. Bamboo slips are so heavy. This thing is very light and beautiful. It's bound into a book and convenient to carry around.”
" Bada, bada, bada..." Duanmu Rong's face showed surprise for the first time when the chopsticks fell to the ground. Old Man Ban was dumbfounded, and Gao Yue had an incredulous expression. Ge Nia was still calm. Although there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he continued eating at a leisurely pace.
" Haha…" Tianming had just laughed a few sentences when he was pulled to sit by Fu Chen. Fu Chen whispered,""What are you laughing at? Hurry up and eat!"
Tianming's eyes lit up, and the two of them began to sweep up the clouds again…
When the three of them woke up from their shock, the dishes on the table were already gone. Two hungry ghosts were holding their stomachs and squinting their eyes in amusement.
"Are you really an immortal?" Master Ban pointed at Floating Dawn and asked.
" Of course." Floating Dawn had a strange expression.
"Then why don't you know martial arts?" "Is there a god who doesn't know martial arts and was injured by others?" Master Ban asked suspiciously.”
" Brother Chen's poetic sword is very powerful, very, very powerful." Tianming was unhappy.
" Why don't you perform?" Duanmu Rong's small face showed a rare look of curiosity.
" No, the power is too great, it will hurt everyone," Fu Chen said this, but he muttered to himself in his heart,""A performance? Did it feel good to be exhausted? It was not easy to accumulate some internal strength to use for escaping.”
" Brother Chen, go out and perform for them." Tianming had become a useless teammate.
" Stop acting," Ge Nia said."If I'm not wrong, your martial arts are indeed very powerful, but it consumes a lot of internal energy. You don't have any internal energy cultivation at all, so you want me to teach you the neixi method of Haunted Valley.”
"Uncle Gai, you're still the best. You saw through it just once.”Fu Chen smiled and cupped his hands.
" You're lying to me again, kid." Tianming was furious. He didn't even address Chen as Brother.
"Who lied to you?" "Do immortals have to know martial arts?" Fu Chen said with a smile. Have you seen immortals?"
" You…you…" Tianming was speechless. Indeed, did immortals know martial arts? No one had ever seen an immortal.
" Kid, what other interesting inventions do you have? Tell me." Master Ban didn't believe him at all. He had always thought that Fu Chen was a disciple of some secret sect. It was just that this kid didn't want to say it. Of course, Duanmu Rong and Ge Nie thought so too.
" Of course there are a lot, but I can't remember at the moment." Fu Chen scratched his head and said,""Wait until I remember."
"Bragging again!" Tianming walked out angrily.
"Where are you going?"
"Practice-"
Thus, in the small courtyard of Mirror Lake Medical Manor, there would be a youth chopping firewood, doing push-ups, walking on a rope, making paper…
Another young man caught a colorful bird out of boredom and kept it in a cage. Occasionally, he would meditate and occasionally tease the anxious bird in the cage.
Gao Yue walked out of the courtyard. This time, she didn't carry the Biting Basket. Tianming told Fu Chen that she was going to chop another pillar and also went out.
Fu Chen smiled as he followed Tian Ming out. By the lake, the girl was worshipping someone. The young man quietly approached and tripped over a tree branch. He awkwardly lay on the ground and greeted the girl with a smile.
The young man who was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws sat by the lake with the quiet girl, sharing their thoughts about their families, seniors, country, and war…
The wind blew through the treetops, and the lazy youth lay on the tree branch, looking at the two people by the lake and smiling very happily...
