Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 50 Why ask for your name when we meet?
The next morning.

Chu Jiang first filled the gourd with wine, and then took the pole into the mountain.

More woodcutters came into the mountains, and there were also many hunters.

Chu Jiang, like an ordinary woodcutter, collected firewood along the way.

He came to the place where the Zhuguoshu was. Many people had been here, and there were also snakes, insects, and footprints left by wild beasts nearby.

The heavy rain had just stopped and the footprints were very clear.

The fruit has just grown, there are nine in total, and they are still far from mature.

This kind of small fruit trees are everywhere. If it were in the past, naughty children would kill them with a stick.

Nowadays, we are basically busy collecting firewood and hunting, and no one will be bored to deal with an unknown fruit tree.

I'll tell Da Xiong when I get back in the evening.

He left the Zhuguoshu and collected firewood along the way.

When we came to the bamboo forest again, the bamboos here became thicker, and some of them were as thick as thighs, which were comparable to ordinary small trees.

In today's world, trees as thick as a thigh can only be regarded as small trees.

Chu Jiang searched in the bamboo forest. The few thick bamboos were strong, but not tough enough and too thick.

There are a lot of small bamboos, many of which are suitable for fishing rods, and almost all of them can withstand a force of more than a thousand kilograms.

He slowly sifted through each piece, testing the bamboo's ability to withstand.

Until evening, he selected five bamboos that could withstand more than 3,000 kilograms of force, which were considered top-notch in this bamboo forest.

But when it comes to fish in the Qi Training Realm, three thousand catties is still a bit short.

Wait a little longer?
Chu Jiang thought, if you give them time, they may become better, but they may also become thicker and no longer suitable for fishing rods.

After thinking about it, I chose the worst one and kept the rest for growth.

When fishing for monsters in the water, the main thing is to look at your own energy.

If the true energy is powerful and directly wrapped with the true energy, even a branch can catch the monster.

It was dark, so we headed back the way we came.

Suddenly, the aroma of wine came from afar, and his energy actually fluctuated.

A wine that can react with infuriating energy?
It's a quiet day today, no good omens.

Doubtful in his heart, he jumped on the firewood, held the bamboo, and strode forward.

After a while, they came to a dense forest and saw a young man in brocade, holding a sword, sitting by the fire, holding a white jade wine gourd, and was drinking.

The fire was burning, and there was a branch inside, filled with a unique aroma.

The young man also saw him. The two looked at each other. The young man's eyes fell on his wine gourd: "Woodcutter, it is fate that we meet each other. Let's have a drink together?"

"Young Master invites you, how can you refuse?"

Chu Jiang put down the firewood and sat down: "I only have ordinary shochu. Don't dislike it, sir."

"This is just an ordinary drink." The young man smiled slightly and handed over the white jade gourd.

Chu Jiang took the gourd, took a sip, and frowned: "It's been mixed with water."

The young man just swallowed a sip of wine and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, I got two drops of this wine by chance. Even though there were only two drops, one drop made me sleep for several days and nights.

If it is not mixed with water, you cannot drink it. Now that it is mixed with water, many people cannot drink it. "

Chu Jiang put down the white jade gourd. The wine was supposed to be brewed from spiritual liquid.

Unfortunately, too much water was added, which diluted the spiritual energy inside.

I thought it was a chance, but unexpectedly, it was just a taste.

However, this young man was smart and knew that he couldn't bear the spiritual liquid, so he diluted it.

"Your shochu is really of poor quality." The young man was also quite disgusted: "It's worse than the wine I mixed with water."

"I am a woodcutter in the mountains. A sip of wine is enough. How can I distinguish between good and bad?" Chu Jiang said.

"Ha." The young man laughed and said, "This world is not peaceful. Go back earlier in the future."

Chu Jiang smiled faintly, his ears moved slightly, and he noticed something coming: "I was about to go back. It's late at night, and I don't want to stay here."

"The thing I'm waiting for is coming soon. When it arrives, you can leave before it's safe." The young man smiled lightly and said, "You can take a sip of my drink without pouring it out. It seems you have some foundation."

"Oh? Why do you have to leave later?" Chu Jiang asked doubtfully. "I have some peach branches. If you burn them, the fragrance will burn, which can attract special beasts." The young man said, "I have burned them, and the beasts are already nearby. If you leave, you may suffer harm from them."

"No wonder the young master invited me to drink." Chu Jiang suddenly realized.

"When that beast comes, you can leave. I will kill it and leave." The young man said.

Chu Jiang's expression moved slightly and he said, "Master, have you ever heard that luring a snake out of its hole may attract a big snake?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "How big can it be?"

Chu Jiang was silent.

Wow
The weeds swayed, and an afterimage rushed out. The speed was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to see clearly.

Sonorous!

The young man drew his sword instantly, and a sword flower bloomed, which looked a little dazzling against the firelight.

Jingle
A crisp sound came, the sword and claws collided, the young man's expression changed, and he slipped out.

Retreating to Chu Jiang's side, the long sword instantly pierced the ground. With the help of the long sword, he barely stopped.

"The big snake is coming." Chu Jiang said calmly.

Of course it's not a real snake, but a huge leopard.

The shoulder height is already 1.56 meters, which is much stronger than the original gray wolf.

The leopard's eyes were fixed on the young man, its fangs were thick, and it leaped forward and pounced on the young man.

The young man's face hardened, he faced the leopard again, and shouted at the same time: "Woodcutter, go ahead and stay away from the fire."

Chu Jiang glanced at the fire and saw that the unique branch was a peach branch.

A jingling sound sounded, sword lights intertwined, and sharp claws fell like raindrops.

Every time they collide, the young man will tremble.

puff
After another collision, the tiger's mouth cracked and blood fell down the sword.

The leopard smelled blood and became more ferocious.

"You woodcutter, go quickly and go to Taolin Town to report that my Peach Blossom Divine Sword Li Donglai was killed by a leopard."

The young man shouted urgently and swung his sword with light, intertwining into a peach blossom.

bang
scoff!

The powerful air wave impact and the sharp sword scratched the leopard's skin, but that was all.

Li Donglai hit Li Donglai with huge force, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled next to the fire.

Chu Jiang praised: "Peach Blossom Divine Sword? The peach blossom just now was very beautiful."

Roar

The roar resounded, and the leopard rushed straight towards it, its sharp claws like sharp blades, glowing with cold light.

Just as Li Donglai was about to leave, Chu Jiang picked up a burning branch and held it out gently without making a sound.

puff
Under Li Donglai's horrified gaze, a ray of golden light bloomed, and the branch actually pierced the leopard's throat.

puff

The leopard landed heavily on the ground, kicking up dust.

"you……"

Li Donglai opened his mouth, but his throat was dry, as if it was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.

Chu Jiang stood up, took his white jade gourd and took a sip: "It's late at night, young master, it's time to go back."

After that, he stood up, picked up firewood, and left with the bamboo.

"If you dare to ask the name of your benefactor, Li Donglai will come to your door with heavy gifts." Li Donglai shouted quickly.

"There is a woodcutter in the mountains. His tranquility extends his life. Why bother to ask his name when we meet him."

A long voice came.

Li Donglai stood up and chased after him, but only the voice came from a distance: "I don't like light fur, commoner clothes and awning shoes, no matter spring or autumn. People laugh at me because I have a humble life and a busy world. After all, what do I want? Things are fluffy on the outside, but they are square in the pot. There is no price to pay for discussing the style of this sect. Who knows, if you are happy doing nothing, you will not envy the princes..."

"This is... the direction of the county seat? Is he the woodcutter that the county magistrate is looking for?"
