Chapter 3 Entering the room, the day after tomorrow is third-rate
Xu Xing was slightly stunned and chose "Yes".
"Ding, I have successfully understood it! Congratulations on your inability to learn the second way of "Chaishan Eighteen Roads": "Herial Slash"."
Seeing the newly understood move, Xu Xing was speechless. The name of this move was indeed very consistent with Pichai.
Fortunately, Xu Xing was mentally prepared for the tricks of this garbage knife technique, so he was not too disappointed. Since he had understood the "vertical chop", he would just try this trick to chop firewood and see how it works.
Xu Xing raised half of the piece of firewood that had just been split, focused his mind a little, took a deep breath, raised the hatchet in his hand high, and slashed straight down with one knife.
With a "click", there was no obstacle, one knife to the end.
The information feedback from the system surprised Xu Xing slightly: "Because you successfully split a firewood while practicing the second road of "Chaishan Eighteen Road" and this move is highly consistent with your state when chopping firewood. You triggered the "Sudden light of inspiration, blessing and spiritual heart" and proficiency level 3! The current level is [Beginner's first practice] and proficiency level is [3100]."
Xu Xing put a piece of firewood again and slashed it with a knife, triggering the "spiritual light suddenly appears, and the blessing of the soul reaches its heart", and his proficiency increased by 3 points.
This made Xu Xing understand that "Chaishan Eighteen Road" is indeed a set of knife skills for chopping wood. As long as you work hard to chop wood while practicing, you can get a faster upgrade speed than normal practice.
Soon, in less than ten minutes, Xu Xing had already chopped a bunch of firewood and successfully practiced the "vertical split" to the level of [first-seeing path].
Xu Xing did not stop and continued to chop firewood. After more than half an hour, the "vertical chop" reached the level of [justly and familiarity].
The morning was over, and there were fewer and fewer customers coming to buy steamed buns. The woman turned around and saw Xu Xing chopping out a lot of firewood, but she was still chopping. She hurriedly advised: "Oh, why are you so honest? You have chopped so much firewood all at once. It's enough. Don't be tired. Take a break!" As she said that, she poured Xu Xing a bowl of boiling water, handed it over, and said: "Come on, have a drink!"
Xu Xing drank the water from the bowl in one breath and said with a smile: "Auntie, I'm not tired. I plan to chop all the remaining firewood here!"
The woman was a little worried and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, take a break first, the firewood you chopped is enough for me to use for several days!"
Xu Xing smiled, and did not speak anymore. He raised a log and slashed it down with a knife. It was straightforward and very relaxed.
About an hour, Xu Xing not only chopped all the remaining firewood, but also split the chopped part and the firewood into a thinner. Finally, he practiced the second sword technique of "vertical splitting" to a new level: "Due to your diligence and hard work, the second road of "Chaishan Eighteen Road" "Handling the vertical splitting" [Jobing is easy to proficient] has been completed, and has been upgraded to [Practice makes perfect]. The current proficiency is 05,000]."
Xu Xing put down the hatchet and placed the chopped firewood neatly under the eaves next to the tent.
The woman was closing the stall and hurriedly said, "Child, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it take a break, just wait for me to do it myself!"
Xu Xing replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not tired!"
The woman said, "You kid, I just gave you two steamed buns, you don't have to do so much work for me!"
While working, Xu Xing replied: "Auntie, I am just a beggar with no food or clothing. My body is dirty and smelly. No one can look down on me or care about me. It's a cold weather, I don't know when I will freeze and starve to death. If you are willing to give me food, that's the kindness of life. I'll help you with some work, that's what I deserve."
The woman sighed, "Hey, your child is really in trouble. How did you become a beggar? Where are your parents?" As she spoke, she also started to carry firewood.
Xu Xing thought about it, but couldn't remember the original memory of his parents, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know, since I can remember, I've been a beggar."
The woman said, "You are willing to call me aunt, and you are so diligent. It just so happens that there is an empty house at my aunt's house and no one lives in it. Otherwise, you will help sell steamed buns at my aunt's place in the future. The aunt takes care of your food and accommodation, and calculates your wages. How about it?"
Xu Xing came over to help chop firewood. At first, he just wanted to repay the kindness of the two steamed buns, and he didn't think much about it. After understanding the "vertical chop" knife style, his mind was more focused on practicing the knife technique.
At this time, seeing that someone took the initiative to take him in, Xu Xing would certainly not refuse. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, aunt, thank you!"
Although Xu Xing did not plan to stay here for long, it is already very good for him to have a place to settle for food and clothing for the time being.
Once the employment relationship between them was established, the relationship between them was much closer, and they were chatting while working.
During the chat, Xu Xing learned that the aunt's husband had already passed away, and only one son was Zhang Cheng, who was twenty years old and had not yet married. He worked as a constable in the county town and rarely went home. The empty room she mentioned was Zhang Cheng's room.
After packing up, Aunt Zhang burned a large bucket of hot water for Xu Xing, took out old clothes that Zhang Cheng couldn't wear, and asked Xu Xing to wash and change them.
After Xu Xing finished taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he turned from a dirty little beggar to a pretty little boy.
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up when she saw this and praised: "What a handsome little boy!"
After eating the hand-rolled noodles made by Aunt Zhang for the two of them at noon, I started to deliver the noodles in the afternoon to prepare for steaming buns tomorrow morning. Xu Xing didn't understand these and couldn't get into it for the time being.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang didn't plan to ask Xu Xing for help. Xu Xing had nothing to do. I remembered that when I entered the city in the morning, I saw a hillside not far outside the city. There seemed to be many trees on the slope. I could go up the mountain to chop wood and practice knife skills. So I greeted Aunt Zhang and went out with a hatchet.
It took less time, Xu Xing came to the hillside, selected the trees that were dry in winter, and used the "flat cut" technique to cut down dead trees as thick as eggs with one easy knife.
I checked the system information and when I chopped wood with the "flat chop" trick, it also triggered the effect of "a sudden appearance of inspiration, blessing and spiritual heart", which increased 5 points of proficiency.
In just about half an hour, Xu Xing had cut a large bundle of firewood, found a vine, tied the firewood, and tried to carry it, but it felt very heavy and almost couldn't carry it.
In fact, the so-called large bundle of firewood is just that compared to Xu Xing's twelve-year-old young body at this time, the bundle of firewood is only thirty or forty kilograms.
However, with Xu Xing's small body at this time, he could only carry thirty or forty kilograms of things. If it was heavy, he would really not be able to carry it.
After tied up the wood, Xu Xing looked at the system information. In addition to the proficiency of "Practice Makes Flawless" of "Practice Makes Flawless" to reach [6355000], there is also a special pending information: "Because your "Practice Makes Flawless" in the first road of "Eighteen Roads of Chaishan" has reached the level of "Practice Makes Flawless", during the practice, the effect of "Taking through the same things" was triggered. You have obtained the opportunity to comprehend the new moves. Do you understand it? [This understanding will not consume experience value]"
Xu Xing immediately chose "yes", and a wonderful feeling flowed throughout his body.
"You have realized the third road of "Sweeping" in "Chaishan Eighteen Road"!"
Xu Xing thought a little about the "sweeping" method, held the hatchet in his hand, and swung out towards a dense bush in front of him.
With a gentle "wow", the large shrub, no matter how big or small, was cut off by Xu Xing, and once again triggered the effect of "a sudden appearance of inspiration, blessing and spiritual heart". The proficiency was increased by 3 points and he was in the state of [first learning].
After trying a few tricks, Xu Xing found that this "sweep" can only cut down large areas of thin and weak planting trees, like trees as thick as eggs. If you use this move, you cannot cut them off with one knife.
It was still early at this time, so Xu Xing did not rush back, but continued to chop wood and practice knife skills. He decided to concentrate on practicing "flat chop" first to see if he would continue to trigger the effect of "touching the same-to-date".
What disappointed Xu Xing was that he spent a whole afternoon until it was almost dark and finally practiced the "flat cut" to upgrade, but he failed to trigger the "similarity" again.
However, although the desired "treatment by example" was not triggered, I also gained other unexpected surprises.
"Ding, thanks to your hard work, the first road of "Chaishan Eighteen Road" "Practice makes perfect" has been completed, and has been upgraded to [Enter the House]. The current proficiency is [010,000]."
"Ding, because you have reached the level of "Flat Cut" in "Chaishan Eighteen Roads" to the level of [Entering the Hall and Entering the Room], this technique has undergone a qualitative change, and has upgraded from non-level technique to third-level technique."
"Ding, since you have learned one of the third-rate martial arts, congratulations on becoming a third-rate martial arts figure."
Seeing the last sentence, for some reason, Xu Xing felt a strong sense of sarcasm.
However, although third-rate sounds not very good, it is at least a little better than not.
At the same time, Xu Xing's personal panel has also changed.
【Xu Xing: Acupuncture Realm (Third Rate)】
【Experience: 0200】
[Technique: Chaishan Eighteen Roads (remaining chapters)]
After reading the panel information, everything else is easy to understand. Only in the [Experience] column, Xu Xing had a vague guess in his mind, thinking that his upgrade method may be different from playing games. He does not pursue the full experience value, but should be to improve the proficiency of the martial arts he has learned. When his proficiency reaches a certain level, he can upgrade.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Xing stopped chopping wood and practicing knife. He carried the bundle of wood that had been tied up long ago and went down the mountain to go back to the city.
After dinner at night, Xu Xing rested early. In the early morning of the next morning, it was still early before dawn, Xu Xing was awakened by the movements in the yard. He leaned over to the window and looked out and found that Aunt Zhang was already cooking fires and steaming buns.
Xu Xing quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went to the yard to help.
When Aunt Zhang saw Xu Xing coming out, she smiled and said, "Oh, Xiao Xing, you are up too!"
While helping to burn the fire, Xu Xing scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, why didn't you ask me to get up and help?"
Aunt Zhang said, "Hey, you are a child. You are just a child who is lazy. It doesn't hurt to sleep a little longer in the morning! Aunt is old and sleep less at night. In addition, you are used to getting up early these years, so you can't compare to me!"
Xu Xing knew that he was indeed sleepy in the morning, so he smiled awkwardly and stopped saying anything, but he was secretly alert in his heart that he must get up earlier tomorrow morning.
The two of them were busy until the sky was light, and they steamed two steamed buns and placed them under the tent outside. Aunt Zhang opened her voice and shouted, while Xu Xing helped to get the steamed buns for the guests.
There were many guests at times, until the warm sun shone brightly. At breakfast, two young men with deer and rat came. While walking, they yawned listlessly and came to the stall and shouted, "Get two steamed buns!"
The visitor was a guest, and Xu Xing didn't care much about the rudeness of the two of them, so he wrapped two steamed buns and handed them over.
Chapter completed!
