Xiangchu Pavilion, the kitchen center of Wujimen, Xiao Lin also spent a day here. Although he was not familiar with this place, he still felt like he was revisiting his old place.
Xiangchu Pavilion is always so busy. Xiao Lin personally believes that these disciples who come to do odd jobs in Xiangchu Pavilion are actually disciples who have been abandoned by the master. They are only left with a way to survive and a so slim that they can almost be ignored. hope.
Of course, a year ago, Xiao Lin's hope was quietly ignited here, and then his dream was quietly released, and he finally became an official disciple of Wuji Sect. What Xiao Lin didn't know was that after the disciples of Xiangchu Pavilion learned about Xiao Lin's deeds, their self-confidence had recovered a lot.
Especially Zhu Fanxiang, as a spoon master in Xiangchu Pavilion, he not only practices hard and specializes in knife skills besides cooking, but also encourages everyone to learn like Xiao Lin. If you are not qualified, if you work hard and work hard, you will always succeed.
Zhu Fanxiang thought so, so Zhu Fanxiang worked hard, practiced hard day and night, and practiced diligently. After a year, his sword skills have made great progress. As expected, he is more sensitive and talented in knife skills, and he has the kind of knife skills for cutting vegetables.
At this time, Zhu Fanxiang was slicing vegetables in the kitchen. His sharp knife skills formed a curtain of light and shadow. The fine iron kitchen knife he carefully forged with a series of phantoms made others see it. I was dazzled and couldn't help but clap my hands in surprise and applause!
Zhu Fanxiang also felt beautiful in his heart. The feeling of being praised was much better than the feeling of praising others. He liked this feeling. When he liked this feeling, Zhu Fanxiang naturally thought of those shocking eyes. .
Xiao Lin's eyes were a pair of changeable eyes - the unyielding and disdainful look when he resisted himself caused a great shock to Zhu Fanxiang's psychology; and later he carefully taught himself martial arts, that friendly and warm look , which made Zhu Fanxiang feel very guilty and grateful. From that time on, Zhu Fanxiang decided to list Xiao Lin as his most friendly friend and regard Xiao Lin as his most worthy friend, because of what he did to himself. Everything comes from the heart!
Zhu Fanxiang was thinking about it when he felt someone tap him on his right shoulder. He subconsciously glanced back to the right, but didn't find anyone. He heard someone on the left say, "Hey, Brother Zhu, I see you are using your power for personal gain and stealing a lot of money." Right? You have a good physique?!"
Forehead? Zhu Fanxiang was stunned for a while, and it took him five seconds to react, "Xiao Linzi? Xiao Linzi?! Is your kid out?"
Xiao Lin felt familiar when he heard these words, and felt a little awkward. However, seeing the excited look on Fatty's face, he didn't pursue it so much. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Yeah, I just came out of seclusion today, and I'm a little curious." You... gave me the chicken drumsticks, so come and take a look!"
Zhu Fanxiang chuckled and said: "Isn't it easy if you want chicken legs? Keep it in such a way that you will feel sick after eating it for a while."
"Ah? Isn't it? Could it be that we haven't seen each other for a year? Senior Brother Zhu's cooking skills have not improved. Instead, they have deteriorated a lot? This makes no sense!" Xiao Lin said pretending to be strange.
Zhu Fanxiang said quickly: "No, no, no. No. What I mean is that the customs declaration allows you to eat enough at one time. I keep eating until you can't eat anymore and let you eat. If you are still interested in chicken legs like this, then you will do it again. There is one more thing worthy of my admiration.”
Xiao Lin chuckled. She shook her hair very passionately and said: "Just a little more. Anyway, I have too many advantages. It doesn't matter if you admire me more. I will slowly adapt to it."
"..." Zhu Fanxiang looked dull. Xiao Lin was left speechless.
"That's right." Zhu Fanxiang reacted. Said: "What do you want to do when you come to Xiangchu Pavilion?"
"There's nothing I can't do to revisit my old place. I said I miss this place so much, so why bother asking!" Xiao Lin replied casually, taking a few bites of the plate filled with prepared dishes on the table next to him and throwing them away. In my mouth, I couldn't help but praise: "The food you made is still delicious and beautiful!" Then he moved to the next target.
"You really have nothing to do?" Zhu Fanxiang said: "If you really have nothing to do, I will evict you. This is the center of the kitchen. Non-Xiangchu Pavilion disciples are not allowed to enter. Hey, don't move that one. It's for Master and Master. Prepared by the uncles..."
But Xiao Lin had already put the thing in his mouth, smashed it, and then returned to the topic: "By the way, I really forgot if you didn't tell me, I have something important to tell you. , quite important!" Xiao Lin pretended, his eyes still looking here and there, without any serious expression to say "something quite important".
"What's so important? Oh, stop eating, talk about it first, and then eat after you finish talking!" Zhu Fanxiang said quickly.
"It's the sect selection competition. It's equivalent to the preliminary round for the competition for the newbies of all cultivation sects in the world. Do you think it's important or not?" Xiao Lin said with a serious face.
"Important... important!" Zhu Fanxiang looked confused, "This very important matter was announced to the public a few days ago by Tao Zun, saying that seven disciples will be recommended to the semi-finals, and the remaining nine places will be determined by all All the disciples of the sect come together to compete, which is called the 'audition'. Haha, not to mention, there are hundreds of our Wuji Sect's eighth generation disciples at least, so crowded together it feels like a huge crowd."
Hundreds are also called a sea of people... Xiao Lin did not discuss this profound topic with him for the time being, but continued: "Yes, all the disciples of the whole sect can participate in this 'audition', don't you want to participate?" ?Even if you can’t make it into the top four, it’s good to make it into the top 16, and you’ll be able to grow your reputation!”
"Me?" Zhu Fanxiang was stunned for a moment and said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I think I shouldn't participate, right? Our Xiangchu Pavilion disciples are of mediocre qualifications. If we go there, we can only make jokes and compete for money." What are the top 16? The weak 16 are just about the same!"
"Sweat..." Xiao Lin wiped his forehead and said, "Don't belittle yourself, okay, how are you doing with your Wuji Heart Technique now?"
"I have realized the second level a few months ago!" Zhu Fanxiang couldn't help but feel a little excited when he said this Wuji Heart Technique. From the first level to the middle of the second level, Zhu Fanxiang felt that he was full of energy. It improves your energy and strength, and you can cut vegetables more powerfully, more efficiently, and more sustainably. You can cut vegetables continuously for half a day without any side effects such as back pain and leg cramps. I remember that my feet became numb after being cut for a while. Even for heavy tasks such as fetching water, he used to be out of breath after just a few steps, but now he can run two miles in one breath without panting at all. Thinking of this series of benefits, Zhu Fanxiang became more motivated to practice the mental method.
"Second level..." To be honest, entering the second level of mental skills is only equivalent to the level of an entry-level disciple. If you go to participate in that competition, you might really only be able to get a weak sixteen, Xiao Lin thought. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then you also learn the art of sword control and flying sword?"
"I know a little bit about sword control, but I can't command the flying sword alone. Look, this is my flying sword!" Zhu Fanxiang took out a silver kitchen knife that looked like an extra long and widened one.
Three black lines immediately appeared on Xiao Lin's forehead: "This... is this your flying sword? Senior Brother Zhu, not only are you very tall, but you are also tall with your flying sword. Junior Brother, I really admire, admire! But... "Xiao Lin paused for a moment, and then said: "But this so-called flying sword looks like an extended kitchen knife?!"
"Hehe..." Zhu Fanxiang smiled honestly and said: "It's a bit similar, but I got used to it, it looks comfortable, and I can control it and fly. Don't look at it. It's not as good-looking as the fairy sword, but it's a little more powerful. It's no worse than an ordinary fairy sword. This is the weapon and magic weapon that my master asked someone to forge for me." Zhu Fanxiang caressed the silver kitchen knife lovingly, as if caressing the breasts of his beloved woman, fascinated.
"It turns out that Master gave it to you, hehe... Since you already have a weapon in hand, why not participate in the audition and give it a try, just like trying the magic weapon that Master gave you." Xiao Lin continued to encourage.
"But, I really can't do it!" Zhu Fanxiang's cowardice came back again. "I have only entered the second level. Most of the disciples have entered the third level, and there are even many on the fourth level."
"It doesn't matter what level he is, he must be able to use it! Even if a person who doesn't know how to fight has the supreme magic, it's still not equal to zero?"
"I'm not very good at using sword techniques either..." Zhu Fanxiang lowered his head.
"Holy shit!" Xiao Lin couldn't help but want to beat this fat guy. Why was this guy so arrogant when he bullied me? He didn't expect that he didn't even have the courage to participate in a competition. "Okay, you don't know the sword technique, do you? Then how did you practice the 'Dragon Slaying' I taught you?"
"Dragon Slaying Slash?" Zhu Fanxiang became energetic again. The expressions on this guy's fat face were so rich, "Dragon Slaying Slash, I can make 21 consecutive slashes at most, and under normal circumstances I can make 18 slashes." Angry, what do you think?"
"Twenty-one knives?" Xiao Lin was secretly surprised. This guy's skill was much better than his own. "Well... if you can casually hit 18 knives, then you are pretty good." . But what if you want to talk big? Come on, show me a show!"
Zhu Fanxiang nodded, and took out a huge potato from the vegetable basket next to him. He concentrated for a second, then gently threw the potato into the air, and then swung the kitchen knife in his right hand out instantly. As if for just a moment, the potato fell back. into the hands of Zhu Fanxiang.
Xiao Lin only felt that a screen of knives flashed before his eyes, and then disappeared. He thought this guy didn't make a move, so he said: "What? You made a mistake? If you make a mistake, just start over!"
Zhu Fanxiang stretched out his left hand holding the potato and said: "It has been chopped with twenty-one cuts. There are a total of twenty-two potato slices here."
"..." Xiao Lin was so surprised that he was almost speechless. He thought to himself, this guy is already showing off. He obviously used twenty-one knives, but he said that the maximum was only twenty-one knives. Xiao Lin was ready to push him again: " Damn, who asked you to cut potatoes? I want you to show your sword energy, eighteen sword energy, come on!"
"I think the sword energy is more powerful, so let's go to the yard to compete!" Zhu Fanxiang casually asked a onlooker to look at the kitchen, and followed Xiao Lin to the yard. Behind Xiao Lin was a group of onlookers - in fact, he and A handyman disciple like Xiao Lin.
Standing still in the yard, Zhu Fanxiang held the silver kitchen knife tightly in his right hand, and the "Wuji Heart Technique" was rapidly running in his body. The silver kitchen knife was immediately filled with silver zhenqi. One second, two seconds, three seconds... Zhu Fanxiang was still lucky... Four seconds, Five seconds, six seconds...
Xiao Lin couldn't help it anymore and shouted: "If you had managed to survive for so long in actual combat, you would have been chopped into eighteen pieces!"
Zhu Fanxiang's heart moved, and he felt that what he said was too reasonable, so he swung out the silver kitchen knife, and dozens of silver knife auras rushed straight towards the door of the courtyard. In fact, the waves were as turbulent as floods - Zhu Fanxiang succeeded!
"Oh, Senior Brother Zhu is so awesome..." The crowd of spectators clapped their hands and cheered.
Zhu Fanxiang succeeded, this is Xiao Lin's true thought! With such strength, Zhu Fanxiang would be qualified to participate in the competition for the top sixteen, but it took a little longer. "The time you spent preparing to slay the dragon was too long. Can it be shorter?"
"The maximum number of quick attacks is eighteen! Usually there are only a little more than ten!"
"...Eighteen moves are enough, how many more paths do you want? What is needed in actual combat is speed. You can defeat the enemy with one move, or you can be killed by the enemy with one move. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I get it! Junior brother, you are so thoughtful!" Zhu Fanxiang said with admiration.
"Okay, now, can you participate in the audition competition?" Xiao Lin turned to this topic again.
"But... my mind is second..."
"Don't worry about the level of your mental skills, just use your strength! If I say you can do it, you can do it!"
"But, after all, I am just a disciple of Xiangchu Pavilion! My main task is to prepare meals for everyone..."
"The ideal is noble and worthy of respect, but can't you do something else while cooking?"
Zhu Fanxiang lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes constantly flashing.
Xiao Lin sighed and said: "Senior Brother Zhu, don't think that because you are just a disciple of Xiangchu Pavilion, you will belittle yourself and dare not participate in the selection competition. Your idea is extremely wrong. If a person wants to make a difference, he must first To think highly of yourself, you must have self-confidence. A person who has no ideals and is willing to be a grass will always be stepped on by others, and he will only become a grass that will never be discovered; and a person with lofty ideals will only be stepped on by others. Even if a person is trampled on and ignored when he is just a seed or a sapling at the beginning, he will continue to struggle and thrive, and will eventually become a towering tree. At that time, he will be seen by others. Will be recognized by others. And do we want to be a grass that will always be ignored and trampled on, or do we want to be a towering tree that is now weak but destined to reach the sky? I think everyone wants to To be a big tree, but to be a big tree, you must have the spirit of a big tree. As long as we dare to struggle and fight hard, we will have the spirit of a tree, and we will become seeds like a tree, and we will eventually be discovered and recognized by others; if If you are just timid and cowardly, you can only be a grass that will always be ignored! Is this your wish? "
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, not only Zhu Fanxiang was so excited that his whole body was trembling with excitement, but even the disciples of Xiangchu Pavilion who were watching were thoughtful.
"My wish is to become a towering tree. No one wants to be a grass that is trampled on and ignored!" Zhu Fanxiang said with excitement, "I want to live like a tree, live, and be able to be looked up to and relied on by others." , even death can become a pillar."
Looking at the surrounding disciples of Xiangchu Pavilion and his junior brother, Zhu Fanxiang said with a smile: "We must all work hard and fight bravely like Xiao Linzi! We should not belittle ourselves, we should all live like trees!"
