Chapter 132 The Wolf is Coming
Lin Du is not a person who likes to show off. She likes the process of fighting and the ending of victory. The reward of endorphins is more irresistible to her than the happiness of dopamine.
As long as you keep moving, you won't get stale.
After she no longer needed to struggle for money in her previous life, she gradually began to wonder about the meaning of her life and could not find the next goal to work hard for, so she just gave up.
Now that he had finally found an achievable goal in the world of cultivation, as well as a clear upgrade and reward mechanism, Lin Du was extremely excited and didn't want to waste even a minute.
Although she didn't like this kind of restrained and introverted martial arts, she also clearly understood that what Jiang Liang said was right. If she wanted to become stronger, she had to honestly restrain her unrestrained energy.
Direct outward violence is a human instinct, while internal restraint requires self-cultivation.
Just as civilization will eventually triumph over barbarism, the process of civilization requires persistent self-restraint and progress by all of humanity.
Constraints often make people feel like they are in heavy shackles. Jiang Liang and Yan Ye saw that Lin Du was keen on jumping on the edge of the rules, so they chose a technique that would allow Lin Du to tie himself up.
Lin Du, a wild wolf with unruly but precocious intelligence but disguised as a human, was guided and restrained by the elders who had seen through him long ago using the gentlest means possible, and he gradually transformed into a decent person who attracted the attention of everyone.
Regardless of whether she is a beast in human form or not, the exquisite collar tied around her neck not only restrains her from self-harm, but also protects her from being regarded as an uncontrolled alien and then wiped out when she is free to roam.
Lin Du's cultivation went on the right track day by day, and finally after a hundred days, he successfully reached the top of the mountain in one go.
The sun was just about to reach the zenith. It was already late spring or early summer, and beads of sweat were still crawling down Lin Du's back. When he stopped, the sweat dripped down along his hot skin. The wind was strong at high altitude, and the warm wind at the foot of the mountain became cool by the time it reached the top.
Lin Du tugged at his clothes, but did not sit down immediately. He just stood on the top of the peak and looked at the world.
Suddenly, two familiar voices came from a distance.
"Do you think that blue wolf has become smarter? I watch it every day, and today it has reached the top. It looks like we need to bring it down soon to serve as a snack for Junior Master's kitchen."
"Why do I feel that it doesn't look like a wolf..." Yan Qing took out a big knife.
"Maybe it has transformed." Yuan Ye vowed.
Yuan Ye and Yan Qing were a little blinded by the sunlight, so they swung out a knife based on their feelings and threw out a rope to bind the demon.
Lin Du sneered, folded his arms, and wanted to just move away, but he couldn't help it. He lightly received the knife energy, raised his hand to merge the knife energy into his palm, took the bundle of magic rope, and stood steadily on the top of the mountain.
"Yan Qing, Yuan Ye?"
Yan Qing was startled, and Yuan Ye leaned back in fear, with both his chins sticking out.
"Master Junior, why is it you?"
Lin Du smiled sinisterly, and the long wind made her robe flutter. She stood alone on a knife-like peak, her pale face still dyed by the sunlight, the color of snow not changing. In her hand, she held a demon-binding rope with golden spells on it. With a light flick of her finger, the rope, which was struggling desperately to bind her like a living thing, fell down obediently.
"Junior Master! I was wrong. Are you hurt?" Yan Qing was so scared that he almost jumped off his flying magic weapon.
Lin Du said sinisterly, "How could that be? That little bit of sword energy is not enough to even cut a hair."
It's not very lethal, but it's extremely insulting.
The scholar put away the knife and covered his heart, almost bursting into tears, "I used 70% of the force in that blow."
Lin Du let out a long sigh, "I don't blame you for not being able to see clearly because you came against the sun. Who will wash the dishes today?"
"Jinxuan..." Yuan Ye lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"You two have been washing dishes for seven days in a row, one at noon and one at night. Do you have any objections?" Lin Du moved to another place and hung aside to let the two men settle down. He gave each of them a slap in the face.
"I am a wolf? An extra meal in the kitchen?"
“No, no.” Yuan Ye shook his head desperately. He was so scared when he saw Lin Du’s half-smiley face that he was terrified. “It’s too far away. I can’t see it clearly. I just wanted to come and take a look.”
Yan Qing still had a question, "Master Junior, what do you practice every day in the mountains? Footwork?"
"Footwork." Lin Du said as he returned the rope to Yuan Ye. "Let's go. I'm going to cook."
Yan Qing was still recalling how Lin Du had easily blocked his sword strike. "How could Junior Master have blocked my sword energy without using a magical weapon?"
Lin Du coughed and put his hands in his pockets, "Your uncle Jiang Liang taught me this boxing method that helps strengthen your body."
Jiang Liang despised her for having only the skin in the game and did not allow her to say that she was the successor of their style of Tai Chi.
Yan Qing sighed, Yan Qing was shocked, Yan Qing was heartbroken.
He held his sword and said, "It turns out that the gap between me and Tengyun Realm is so big. From tomorrow on, I will double my practice and swing my sword 2,000 times a day."
Yuan Ye was shocked, and then his heart broke. "But if you want to swing the sword 2,000 times, I have to lift the stone tripod 2,000 times. I can't lift it, but Master is here, so we must be symmetrical."
"No, you can!" Yan Qing pressed Yuan Ye's shoulder, "Little Master is younger than both of us, and she can do it, so why can't you?"
Lin Du saw the blazing power of the King of Scrolls behind Yan Qing, clapped his hands and sighed, "You are worthy of it."
The three of them went to the dining hall together, one chopped the meat, one washed the vegetables, and one cooked.
Ni Jinxuan also came in and happily helped Lin Du.
Lin Du was scrambling with the spatula until sparks were about to fly when he heard Ni Jinxuan say, "Master Pei Qin came in person today, and my master also rushed over from Junding Mansion to receive him."
She paused, "What's the matter? Is it because of his apprentice?"
"I don't know." Ni Jinxuan diligently added firewood to her.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes, "Is his disciple Wu Xi here?"
"I came here last time, but I only met the head master. I didn't get to meet uncle-master Jiang Liang." Ni Jinxuan had always been taught by Feng Chao, so she was very familiar with the comings and goings of people in the main peak.
Lin Du sighed and shook his head. "I was wondering why a sound transmission note suddenly appeared when my senior brother was teaching me how to practice last time."
She deserves to be blamed for this, she is willing to do so!
When she came out with her three nephews carrying a few dishes, she saw a strange face sitting at the table.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes. It looked familiar, but he was unsure, so he looked again.
Yuan Ye shouted, "Uncle Junior Master! Look! This is Wu Xi who challenged you to a fight!"
Lin Du smiled kindly, "I told you to keep talking about hunting wolves, now the wolves are really here."
