Chapter 10 Everything Starts with Raising Chickens 2
The days were still the same, the uncle took everyone to mine early in the morning, but unlike in the past, there was always one person who would stay to watch the house and take care of the eggs by the way.

Four days later, fist-sized chicks emerged from their shells.

There was already a large shed on that cliff, and the shed was built according to the silkworm house in the south of the Yangtze River. The only difference is that there are pieces of slightly concave bronze mirrors on the top of the shed, which are called Yangsui mirrors. It can concentrate the light at one point, and the concentrated light is guided into each shelf by the silver-plated copper tube on the inner wall, so in the daytime, the inside of the shed is very bright, and there is no dead corner where the light cannot reach.

The chicks were moved into this shed immediately after hatching.

Two hundred chickens can be filled with only one wooden frame, and half of the remaining space is used to raise insects, and the other half is filled with pipes, with holes as thick as index fingers dug out of the pipes.

Those pipes are another experiment by Xie Xiaoyu, who plans to try growing crops without soil.

There is a medicinal material called Misty Bell Grass that is incompatible with the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth cannot be touched, so this medicinal material can only be planted in pottery tubes, and then filled with mist.

Outside the shed, the strange-looking copper kettle was burning on the stove, and clear water dripped continuously from the other end of the copper pipe.

Raising chickens, raising insects, and planting food in the future all require water. If the water is brought in from outside, the cost will be too expensive.Xie Xiaoyu had already realized when she was on the giant boat, the key was whether the river water here could be distilled and used?
After a few days, it proved that his idea could work.

Chickens, especially chickens, are far more delicate than humans. If people drink the river water here, they will show symptoms of weakness after three months, and chickens will respond in three days.

After three days passed, the chicks were still alive and kicking, as if nothing had happened.

Xie Xiaoyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

With his heart settled down, he no longer worries about these mundane affairs. For a monk, strength is the most important thing.

The way of swordsmanship is not just to meditate. It is useless just to have a thick body of true energy. The most powerful swordsmanship is to have superb swordsmanship.

It is not enough to just practice swords in a dream, no matter how well you practice, it is just a sword dance. The real swordsmanship is the killing technique that depends on the front line of life and death.

Every morning, before the others got up, he had already left the mining area.

There is a big waterfall more than ten miles away.

There is a stone under the waterfall. This stone is washed so slippery by the rushing water that it is impossible for ordinary people to stand on it.

That's where he practiced his sword.

He was standing on the rock, holding a straight knife in his hand.

His knife is very long, up to ten feet long, with half of the blade and half of the handle, and the blade can be put into the handle when not in use.

The waterfall was hundreds of feet high, and the sound of the water falling was astonishing, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't even move his heels.

Gather momentum.

Cut out with one knife.

The entire waterfall was cut off at the middle in an instant, half of the waterfall fell down with a clatter, and the other half of the waterfall seemed to be frozen in midair.

After a few days of hard training, he has acquired the essence of the "Rudian" style. When the knife is drawn and retracted, the shadow of the knife can't be seen clearly at all, only the light of the knife after the knife is passed.

Regain momentum.

Another slash...

Every day he swung his sword a thousand times here, and these thousand times were not random shots, but went all out without any reservations.

This is the training method of warriors, not the method of swordsmanship for monks, but the reason is the same. Warriors' understanding of swordsmanship is even higher than that of monks, because their swordsmanship is more pure, unlike monks' swordsmanship. s things.

Another knife was swung out.

The waterfall was cut off again.But this time, a water blade flew from the fracture.

The blade is invisible, but the water blade is visible. The water blade flies far away, gradually unfolds, and becomes thinner and thinner.

When sunlight passes through the water blade, it is refracted into neon-like dazzling brilliance.

This is a beautiful knife.

But this glamor only lasted for a moment, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Xie Xiaoyu stopped, he looked at the sky, reminiscing about the flash of the knife just now, as if he had realized something again.

It's a pity that this time it feels like a dream, a little elusive.

Suddenly there was a light "bang" in the distance, and a cloud of purple smoke filled the eastern sky, which was a signal for help.

Xie Xiaoyu was not an enthusiastic person, but after hesitating for a moment, he still rushed towards that side.

The purple cloud of smoke seems to be right above the head, but in fact it is at least twenty miles away from here. Xie Xiaoyu is not very good at the technique of flying away, he only knows a very good "land flying technique".

The "Land Soaring Technique" is known as climbing mountains and wading like walking on flat ground, but that's all there is to it. The speed is only faster than that of a horse, and it cannot leave the ground.

He used to know an extremely fast escapism technique, but unfortunately he needed the natal magic weapon to perform it. Now that the magic weapon is gone, this escapism technique is completely useless.

After running for half an hour, he finally arrived at the place.

There was the sound of beasts roaring in front, and the sound of fighting. The trees on the ground were full of broken branches and fallen leaves, and many trees fell on the ground. The thickest tree required two people to hug it.

Following the sound and running for another mile, he finally saw seven or eight people surrounded by many phantoms in front of him.

These phantoms looked like wolves, with dim colors and vague outlines, as if shrouded in a fog, or formed by a series of overlapping shadows.

That is a monster.

Xie Xiaoyu slowed down, he was hesitating.

Tianbao Prefecture is a land of wealth, but it is also a land of danger. The most dangerous are three things—poisonous miasma, barbarians, and monsters.He has already experienced the power of the poisonous miasma, and now he saw the monster again.

There are also monsters in Middle Earth, but because of the large number of sects and the large population, there is no longer a wild land. Monsters have no habitat and can only linger in places with few people. Therefore, most of them are small in size, move quickly, and have no The threatening kind.

The monsters in front of them are different, they are very dangerous at a glance.

The few people who were besieged were not simple, most of them gathered around the periphery, each holding sharp knives in their hands, and a middle-aged scribe was protected in the middle. blocked out.

This magic weapon is very beautiful, I saw thousands of petals surrounding these people, and the petals were circling and flying, curling randomly.

Even if this is just a low-grade magic weapon, it is very rare, because this magic weapon can both attack and defend.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have such a magic weapon.

What he hesitated was not just whether he would put himself in it?He is still hesitating whether these people are worth saving?

As the saying goes, "every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are ungrateful."He can safely make friends with people like uncle, but it's too late for him to be wary of these people in front of him.

Xie Xiaoyu was hesitating whether to rescue or leave?Suddenly I heard that scribe shouting loudly towards this side: "This friend, if you are willing to help, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Xie Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, and looked at the man carefully.

He understood right away.

Beside the man was a short-built guy holding a mirror-sized compass in his hand.

Xie Xiaoyu knew she was negligent.

Tianbao Prefecture is full of high mountains and dense forests, and it is rare to see flat land. If you dare to go deep into the inland, you must bring a person who knows how to locate the six lines, and who knows how to change the six lines. Forget it, let him figure it out.

Now that Xingzang was seen through, Xie Xiaoyu no longer hid, and flew out.

As soon as he moved, two demon wolves rushed towards him.

Just now, Xie Xiaoyu didn't feel that these things were scary when he was watching the fun, but when he faced them, he immediately knew how powerful they were.

Originally there were only two demon wolves, but as soon as they approached, there were many wolf shadows in front of them, at least a thousand in all directions.

This thing has the power of illusion.

Xie Xiaoyu hastily pinched the method with his hands and wiped it on his eyes.

"The great method of watching the sky and penetrating the earth and the cave" is not only used to look at the breath, but also the nemesis of all kinds of psychedelic techniques.

Thousands of wolf shadows still exist, but most of them have really turned into shadows, appearing extremely dim, and the real body is suddenly revealed.

He slid a step suddenly, and the long knife in his hand slashed out like lightning.

His saber was one foot long, and coupled with its speed, the wolf had no time to dodge.

There is no trace of the knife.

The demon wolf didn't even feel anything, it was just startled and took a few steps back.

As soon as it moved, its body suddenly tilted, blood sprayed out from the neck, and there was a slender bloodstain on the neck that seemed to be fine.

In a blink of an eye, a wolf's head fell to the ground.

The other monster wolf saw its companion being beheaded, and immediately raised its head to the sky and screamed.

The pack of wolves that had surrounded those people turned around one after another.

"Go, go, this is the only chance." The scribe who was protected in the middle shouted.

The people around seemed to have a tacit understanding, and ran away without any hesitation.

Seeing this group of people run away, Xie Xiaoyu was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.He came to rescue people, but the rescued people actually used him as a bait, a pawn.

But at this moment, he has no time to think about other things, the most important thing is to save his life.

His footsteps slipped again, and he slashed out.

The knife was still as fast, and the other monster wolf still maintained its posture of looking up to the sky and howling, but its vitality was gone.

Swing the knife, swing the knife again.

Xie Xiaoyu's mind went blank, swinging the knife had already become a subconscious reaction.

This is what he gained from being locked up with those gangsters. During the half a year in prison and the half year on the spaceship, he didn't dare to sleep at all, because once he slept, he might be violently killed.He only dared to take a nap while squinting, while maintaining a posture ready to strike at any time, and immediately counterattacked if he was attacked.

That's not how people live.

He used to feel miserable and didn't even want to recall that inhuman life, but now he found that this year was not in vain.

Without that experience, how could he have such an almost instinctive reaction?

Another knife was swung out.

Another demon wolf fell to the ground.

The remaining demon wolves did not dare to approach him, and surrounded him from afar.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he moved to the open space step by step.

These demon wolves are different from ordinary wild wolves, they are very strong, even if he leans against a big tree, he is not safe, and in the woods, the long knife cannot be used at all.

In the past, his first thought was to escape, or else he would take advantage of the terrain. He saw a cliff on the way just now. It was a good place, at least he didn't have to worry about being surrounded by enemies.But now, he is willing to kill a bloody road.

What happened in the past year has made him understand a truth, if he wants to live a peaceful life, he must first have the strength to deal with unexpected disasters.

Suddenly, a scream came out from the mouth of one demon wolf, and other demon wolves rushed from all directions at the same time.

It is the leader of the wolf pack who gives the orders.It is not the monopoly of human beings to bully the few with more, and animals also understand this truth.

Xie Xiaoyu didn't move, he knew that he only had one chance to use the sword, and he had to kill all the monster wolves with one stroke, otherwise, as long as a monster wolf rushed over, he would definitely die.

Those demon wolves have front and back, obviously they also know to line up, they may be killed at once.

In the blink of an eye, the nearest wolf ran within three feet, and even swooped up.

The knife finally moved. The sharp long knife cut through the air and made a buzzing sound. It was not as shocking as thunder, but it was also chilling.

The brilliant knife light became one piece, as if an arc of light surrounded his body, and the wolves that swooped up were all cut off at the waist.

Outside the arc of light is a blood ring, the blood ring spreads out evenly, it is as thin as paper, but as sharp as a blade.

The pack of wolves behind them bumped into the blood ring one after another.

The blood ring was far less sharp than the blade, but it was enough to cut into the flesh.

The chaotic footsteps and the noisy howling of wolves stopped in an instant, and there was only a series of soft thumping sounds, and wolf carcasses fell to the ground one by one.

Xie Xiaoyu was still holding the long knife tightly, not daring to relax in the slightest. When he was in prison, he had suffered a lot, thinking that others had already been beaten to the ground by him, but he didn't expect that person to pretend to be dead, and took advantage of the opportunity when he turned his head. , poked a hole in his chest with a chopstick.

A sound of metal cracking reached his ears.

The blade split.

This is not a treasured knife, let alone a magic weapon. He spent five taels of silver to have it made by a master blacksmith, and the material used is only ordinary fine steel.Just now he slashed out with all his strength, and the blade barely endured it, but the blade was too fragile, so it shattered.

Looking at the canine-toothed blade, he secretly rejoiced that the blade shattered after the pack of wolves fell, otherwise he would have been in danger.

Ordinary weapons still can't be used, and a magical sword must be obtained.

But it also made him a little tangled,

"Six Rufa" is the art of controlling Qi and moving the sword.Flying swords travel thousands of feet across, traveling back and forth for several miles, it is by no means this kind of close-quarters combat where all within a foot is deadly swordsmanship.Did he get a flying sword anyway?Or get a dharma sword that is the same as the straight knife in your hand?

If it's the former, he doesn't have enough true energy, and he can't control it at all.If it's the latter, he is just learning from the training methods of warriors to understand the true meaning of swordsmanship, and he doesn't plan to go close to fight. It's useless to get such a magic sword.
