Skilled in managing a house

In the cave, Shangguan Ning has been living with the big-nosed old Taoist. At night, the old Taoist snores so loudly that she cannot fall asleep at all. She can only wait for the old Taoist to wake up during the day and she goes to sleep.

After she wakes up, she will find a new pot of cucumbers and several bottles of water in the cave.

However, there is nothing but cucumbers, which makes Shangguan Ning wonder. Even if we are Taoist priests and need to be vegetarians, we don't need to eat cucumbers every day. Can we change the taste? Sometimes she wonders if the old man secretly eats other things while she is asleep, just giving her cucumbers. Otherwise, why can the old man grow so thick and strong, like a cow? Is this a figure that can only be achieved by eating cucumbers?

After three days, Shangguan Ning could only move his Qi but could not move to attack the wooden man. By the fourth night, she felt that she had almost recovered, and her true energy had actually improved during the recovery period. It's not clear what the reason for this is.

In her opinion, this old man with a big nose is simply a weirdo, and he is also the strongest person she has ever seen.

The old Taoist usually wouldn't talk to her, except when sleeping or sitting by the fire eating cucumbers.

The wooden man was still standing there, seemingly waiting for Shangguan Ning to recover before continuing his attack.

Shangguan Ning felt that she was almost done now. She stood up with both swords in hand. She first glanced at the old Taoist and said, "Senior, do you still mean what you said?"

"When does a poor Taoist say his words don't count, you can just take action." The big-nosed old Taoist said without looking back.

Shangguan Ning secretly said in his heart that the greeting he had understood before could already hurt the wooden man. The last skill I learned was because I was using it for the first time, so I accidentally suffered internal injuries. Nothing will happen to him this time, and he is expected to destroy the wooden man.

Full of confidence, she brought her swords together in front of her face, bit the tip of her tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

Blood mist sprayed onto the two swords, and the swords suddenly glowed with a faint red light. Shangguan Ning spread his swords to the left and right, then threw them into the air.

The two swords spun quickly and soon turned into two circling fire dragons. Above the fire dragons, this time they emitted a red-gold light.

"break!"

Shangguan Ning shouted loudly, pointed his hands forward, and the two fire dragons rushed straight towards the wooden man and swept away.

"call!"

"call!"

The two fire dragons emitted hot air currents, which went straight towards the wooden man. After hitting the wooden man, they immediately began to circle around the wooden man. The wooden man immediately ignited, sending out bursts of smoke.

Seeing this, Shangguan Ning couldn't help but feel overjoyed. To be honest, this kind of scene could only appear in dreams before, but he didn't expect that it would actually happen today.

After a while, the flames and red-gold light on the two fire dragons began to dim, and Shangguan Ning also felt that his own energy was a little weak. With a thought in her mind, the fire dragon disappeared, and the two swords were retracted directly and fell into her palms.

The wooden man in front was still burning. In Shangguan Ning's opinion, if not burned to ashes, it would probably be about the same.

However, at this moment, a dark yellow mist suddenly emerged from the wooden man's body. As soon as the mist appeared, the flames gradually extinguished. The wooden man standing there seemed to have been burned out. What was left was all black and charcoal, but it had not fallen down or broken anywhere.

Seeing this, Shangguan Ning couldn't help but turn around and look at the big-nosed old man. The old man still had his back to her, just eating cucumbers without seeing his expression.

Shangguan Ning frowned and said, "What's going on?"

"The heat is not enough." The old man said lightly.

Shangguan Ning curled his lips, obviously not believing it. If you hadn't done it secretly, how could the fire not be enough? How could a wooden person withstand such a burning?

The old Taoist who had not been talking to himself for the past two days started talking to himself again at this moment, "Fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood creates fire, fire then refines gold, metal then overcomes wood, and wood creates fire again, and the cycle continues, endlessly... "

Hearing the old Taoist act like this, Shangguan Ning quickly listened carefully and sat cross-legged.

In Shangguan Ning's mind, a picture quickly emerged. In the fierce fire, a sharp sword was forged. This sharp sword cut off the wood, and added the wood to the fire, making the fire more intense. Afterwards, the sword was tempered in the fire and became even sharper. The scene repeats over and over again, the fire gets stronger and stronger, and the sword becomes sharper and sharper.

"Yes, that's it! Wood is the root. After making fire, temper the sword to make the fire and metal stronger. Although the wood has not become stronger, it has been getting weaker, but if you want to cut down a forest with a sword, that is Impossible. Only by taking advantage of each other's strengths can we achieve balance. Wood is more, and fire and metal are less. When wood, fire, and metal are balanced, it is the moment of success..." Shangguan Ning muttered in his heart.

Thinking of this, she suddenly found that the energy in her body surged again. This surge made her Dantian somewhat unbearable, so she hurriedly concentrated on moving her Qi, letting the Qi flow along her meridians and throughout her limbs and bones.

The big-nosed old man who had never looked at Shangguan Ning turned his head to look at her and said lightly: "A child can be taught..."

Bishui Manor.

In the villa in the backyard, Zhang Yu was sitting in Lei Ge's study, carving non-stop.

In the past four days, Zhang Yu has finished carving the pair of gloves according to the drawings, and is currently sketching the jade inlaid on the clothes according to the drawings. At this moment, he was about to finish carving, leaving only a piece of jade on the left cuff.

Soon, Zhang Yu stopped and was finally done.

He put his clothes aside, put the Seven-Star Knife on the table, and stretched out.

To be honest, carving two objects was really tiring. Zhang Yu didn't leave the room for four days. That is to say, after the carving is completed, you can have a good sleep and eat something.

There is a bathroom in the study room, and there is a lot of food. There are several pots of soy sauce beef, all for Agou. As for Zhang Yu, he just had to eat two bags of instant noodles.

He was about to stand up. At this time, Agou, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and barked vigilantly, "Woof woof woof..."

Hearing Agou's bark, Zhang Yu immediately became cautious and listened carefully, but did not hear any movement.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the door lock rang, and the door was immediately pushed inwards.

"Who?" Zhang Yu asked sharply.

Immediately afterwards, he could see a middle-aged man standing at the door. This middle-aged man was wearing a white suit. He was very fair and handsome, with a charming smile on his face. , which makes people feel mysterious and intimate.

Even Zhang Yu couldn't help but secretly praise that there could be such a handsome man in this world.

But fortunately, he still knew that this was his own territory, and the other party broke in suddenly.
