Different from yesterday, this time not forming a foundation under the swift waterfall but cutting wood. Teacher Ding asked me to bring 1000 large logs with consequences if not met before sunset then it is not allowed to eat for three days.
So I went to the forest below to find the big tree as requested, I hit the wood with my fist without caring about the pain of my knuckles that have been reddish and scuffed up to fall.
After that I still needed to carry the wood to the top to be collected, back and forth with such a long distance and the heavy burden I carried almost my entire body was numb.
The specified time limit ends.
"This is not enough" said teacher Ding when he realized the wood I brought was not touching the number one thousand, even half.
"I'm sorry, teacher...."
"You can't eat for three days, go home."
Teacher Ding was not even moved in the slightest by the pile of wood, the result I had given. I looked at him lethargicly as I gathered the remnants of energy to support this body and returned home, though the sweat flowed like river water.
My tiredness has become more and more so in the last two days. This pain is even worse than what happened yesterday, on my bed I try to endure this suffering and hope to improve when the day has changed.
The next day teacher Ding gave me a new direction, where he asked me to learn a movement called the thousand-lightning step.
This movement itself consists of 5 parts which when mastering the whole it can allow a person to move freely and very quickly even the eyes are difficult to follow the movement of the person. I'm obviously very interested because this is the first time teacher Ding has given martial arts techniques.
"Another month will be the spring exam. You master the first part in a month and remember the previous two exercises you also have to do every day in turn,"
"This disciple will obey."
"I can't give directions for a while because I have to go somewhere, so make sure you've mastered the thousand-lightning step when I get back." continued Ding's teacher again.
Although I was wondering what he should do first he left since I lived here eight years, but my focus now is to train as quickly as possible.
"Good teacher ... Thank you teacher."
"Go, today you can leave the top."
*****
Even without teacher Ding's supervision, I went through training and also applied the consequences he had ordered before leaving. I had to endure being hungry for twelve days due to the punishment and not the slightest intention to violate, in a state of starvation even my spirit exploded and managed to reach the level that teacher Ding wanted.
The training under the waterfall did not put any more pressure, I was able to endure under it until the day ended even a few days ago my foundation was perfectly formed. So also the practice of cutting and collecting wood that I can cut a thousand more wood in a day.
The great thing is that the trees here still look a lot.
As for the thousand lightning steps I learned already until the final stage of the first. Today I am determined to master the first stage completely. The difficulty level itself I took the initiative with the exercise of moving on the muddy ground, I think this will help me a lot.
TAP— TAP— TAP—
"Flame...."
"I finally succeeded" I said praising myself.
I took a break, leaning under the tree. The stomach that started rumbling felt so annoying that I decided to look for food around.
After that, I remembered the eternal spring water, meaning to refresh myself also the bright day and I decided to go there.
Today I'm going to spoil myself, I thought.
Arriving there, without caring around I take off my clothes and enter the pool. I leaned against the lips of the pond while closing my eyes, when the coldness would seep into my body suddenly the sound of someone's screams could be heard.
"Who are you?" ask the person with a loud scream.
This beautiful woman has long black hair, decomposed behind her back.Hol black eyeball looks shiny, with a tattoo of three blue stripes on her forehead.
She looks like a woman who is only in her thirties with a body that has a perfect curve, her chest can not be covered entirely by the arm while the other hand covers the bottom even though it is still below the surface of the water.
"You don't want to answer my question?"
My mind is focused on admiring the beauty I see. My nose was running fresh blood and I could have sworn that this was the first time I saw a woman like her.
Could this be the time? Act like an animal?
"Wait a minute I can explain...."
"Shut up!" the reply looks very windy.
BYAAARRR—!
Without waiting for a long time he broke the calm surface of the pond until it formed a big wave in all directions away from it and as if it was going to go towards me, opening these eyes wide. The coldness of a killer that he emits is more than enough to press, my reflexes jump to the outside of the pool and immediately go away as fast as possible.
"I will definitely search and tear your body apart!" the strangulation I still heard even though the distance was far away.
The mist necklace, the thousand-lightning step I just used considering that this was the only way to escape. Unfortunately I forgot the clothes I was wearing before on the edge of the pool, running very fast without a thread.
Upon arrival at home I deftly wear clothes, but my various thoughts make this body does not stop shaking. At a glance I looked into the glint of his eyes and thought that if I didn't escape, there would be no tomorrow.
"Why didn't the teacher tell me that someone else knew the source of the eternal spring?" muttered.
What about the clothes I left behind? If the woman recognized him and he was also part of the Heavenly Hill Pavilion, then sooner or later he would find me. The misunderstanding between us must have gotten worse because I ran away without any explanation.
As a result of soaking and running without wearing clothes, the cold that existed pierced me stronger. My health cannot deteriorate, but even sleep cannot. Not knowing what to do to calm down, I began to meditate, sitting cross-legged and concentrating on the subconscious and gaining inner calm.
Not only was it a matter of conflict between the two of us but the natural beauty of the scene that her body was describing was still clearly stored, it also deeply disturbed my very young mind.
