Chapter 53: The Dao's Natural Law 2

  "But even so, it shouldn't be like this, I always feel that there's something different in your hammering technique!" The young lady isn't a fool either, she can sense things from Xiao Yao's simple movements, which proves this point.

  She is just a bit careless in her nature, but she still feels very sensitive, and as long as she notices things, she won't look at them more superficially than anyone else.

  "Alright, actually my hammering technique is quite particular, it's a hammering technique from the 'Sword Casting Secret Book', and it incorporates some martial arts elements. So, if you can gain insight into the essence of martial arts from it, that's perfectly normal." Xīaoyáo replied.

  The technique of forging is certainly available. Good techniques can turn an ordinary thing into a high-end masterpiece, and even transform decay into magic!!

  And these techniques are also equivalent to a kind of martial arts secret book, which will not be easily learned by others, and naturally, it will not be easily mastered.

  Some sword casting families have their own unique hammering techniques, and the Mo family also has one, but it's just mediocre compared to those top-notch ones.

  Even so, it's not easy to master the Mo family's forging technique. Among the many people in the Foundry, only a few have mastered it, and most have only grasped it.

  So those top-notch forging hammer techniques are even harder to master, it's almost like martial arts, very few people can take it to the extreme!

  "What is the Sword Casting Secret Book? Can I take a look?" The young lady asked immediately, because the hammer method used by Xiao Yao could stimulate her understanding, so she naturally wanted to see this sword casting secret book, and maybe even understand more things.

  "I also forgot which one, but I know where it is, in the Mo family's book pavilion, there are several secret books about casting swords, and also the Mo family's own, you can go take a look when you have time!" Xiangyao didn't hide anything, he had only read those few secret books.

  However, he did not say that his hammering method was no longer one of them, but rather a fusion of the advantages of various hammering methods, with some of his own insights added, and some martial arts epiphanies.

  It's just that last bit, which will probably be the main reason why the big sister will come to a realization, however, Xiao Yao won't say it out loud, or rather, he already has.

  Everywhere can merge into martial arts, everywhere can understand martial arts!

  Xiaoyao likes one of the sayings of Taoism ——

  Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows Tao, Tao follows Nature!!

  All things are governed by the Tao and have their own definite rules!

  "I'll go take a look tomorrow, I'm exhausted today, and it's already dark outside!!" The young lady said, looking at the sky outside, but she was also wondering why she felt so tired when it had just gotten dark.

  When she realized it, she was completely immersed in it and couldn't feel the passage of time. In her words, it was just a moment!

  "Big sister, it's not nighttime now, but daytime!!" Xiao Yao smiled and put away the sword in his hand, also preparing to rest.

  "What?! It's daytime?! No way, has it been that long?!" The older sister was stunned.

  Xiaoyao nodded slightly and said lightly, "Mm, you've been standing there for five hours, practicing swordplay for two hours! Are you very hungry? Do you want to wait for me to go eat some breakfast together?"

  "Alright, anyway it's already so late..." The young lady nodded, suddenly feeling that her words were a bit off. Now she shouldn't be saying "late", but rather "early"!!

  "Uh... are you worried about me and staying with me here?" The young lady suddenly asked.

  "Hmm!" Xiangyang nodded directly, and indeed he was so.

  "Good brother! I'll be covering for you for the rest of my life!!" The big sister patted Xiangyao's shoulder, then put her arm around his and walked with him to the bathroom.

  "......, Young Miss, I'm going to take a bath..." Xiao Yao reminded her as he saw that the Young Miss was actually entering the bathroom together with him.

  This young lady must be too excited!

  "I know, sis! Let's take a bath together!!" The big sister said nonchalantly and started taking off her clothes.

  "......this isn't good......" Xiao Yao Hua Yan said, seeing that the eldest sister had already taken off her outer garment, he could only turn around and leave.

  The big sister said carelessly: "What's wrong with that? We're all brothers and sisters now. Wait, where are you going?"

  "Men and women are different!"

  "Don't treat me like a woman just because I have a slightly different body!"

  "Still, you go first, I'm not used to bathing with others, especially 'brothers'!!" Xiao Yao said helplessly, this big sister was actually so crazy, even ignoring this.

  "Shy? Haha...... silly, I was just teasing you, did you think I'd really take a bath with you!! You're doing great...... haha......" The young lady's loud and carefree laughter came from inside.

  “……”

  Wandering at the door, take a seat and run your luck to nourish your spirit. Running heart method is a good way to eliminate fatigue, it's an essential medicine for staying up all night, just need an hour, you can be refreshed.

  It's certain that Big Sister will take at least half an hour to get ready. Women always take a bit longer when bathing!!

  Actually, this place was also divided into male and female bathrooms. There were also female workers here, who could handle tasks such as polishing and decorating, and they did a better job than men.

  However, women generally do not engage in physical labor and do not need to wash immediately. They often use other public bathhouses or their own rooms. The Mo family's bathhouse is not the only one; each courtyard and workshop has its own.

  The men's bathroom at Zhongjianfang has always been "in short supply", so it was simply merged.

  Half an hour later, the big sister inside suddenly let out a scream, which made Xiao Yao immediately get up and prepare to rush in. However, he stopped himself, thinking that he should ask about the situation first, otherwise if he rushed in rashly and the big sister was not dressed, she would kill him instantly.

  It soon proved that Xiangyang's idea was correct!!

  "Carefree, I didn't bring any clothes!!" The young lady's voice came out after a moment.

  "I thought you were being robbed or something! Why yell so loudly..."

  "Come on! Can't you call me? Can't you hear me?! Hurry up, go get my clothes for me!!" The little sister's small tyrannical aura burst out from inside.

  Carefree didn't listen and instead said: "Troublesome, I'll teach you a move. Use the soft power of the Mo Family Fist to wash your clothes!!"

  "Come on, sister told you to go get it then just go get it, sister won't and doesn't want to wash clothes!!" There was a bit of anger in the voice of the big sister.

  "Sister, you're a woman!" Xiao Yao said with annoyance.

  "What's wrong with that? I just don't want to wash clothes!!" The big sister's anger increased a bit more.

  "Sister, I want to say that it's not convenient for me to take your clothes. Think about it, I'm a man, if it were an overcoat, that would be fine, but those undergarments..." Xiao Yao said helplessly.

  "Little brother, I know what you want to say, but even if I washed the clothes, they would still be wet, how can I wear them!" The big sister said in a tone similar to that of the carefree one.

  "You should have said so earlier! I have a way to deal with this, let me teach you a little trick to dry your clothes quickly. In the future, when you encounter an unexpected situation, you'll have another trick up your sleeve!" Xīao Yáo said with a smile.

  "Go on..."

  "Wash your clothes, wring them out, and put them on..." said with a carefree and leisurely tone.

  "What the...! What kind of method is this!!" The big sister got angry, is this little brat playing me?

  "Listen to me, I'm not done yet! The key part is next. You use your inner power to dry the clothes. As for how, I believe you'll figure it out."

  Inner energy is a good thing, can ward off cold, can dispel heat, and can also dry clothes...

  “……”

  The big sister has no voice, and Xiao Yao continues to meditate with her eyes closed!

  After about a quarter of an hour, the big sister came out from inside, and her clothes were already washed and dried. This little trick, as long as she clicked on it, she could grasp it.

  "Great idea! Where did you learn this?" asked the young lady to Xiao Yao.

  He stood up leisurely, patted his clothes, and walked in while saying, "This is often used by martial artists outdoors, your elder sister hasn't experienced it, that's why she doesn't know!!"

  "So that's how it is. How did you... have you been to the wilderness?" The young lady asked curiously.

  Xiao Yao paused for a moment and then said: "I don't want to hang clothes or collect them, I'll just wash them while taking a bath and dry them afterwards, it's very convenient!"

  “……”

  In fact, Xiaoyao didn't really learn it because of this. He read some books and understood, but he also had the trouble of not wanting to collect and hang clothes. It's not that he's lazy, it's just that sometimes his clothes are hung here, but he's already gone to the other side to do something, so he needs to run back and forth.

  He took a quick bath and came out in less than ten minutes, just when the young lady was still savoring the sword moves she had just grasped.

  "Go, let's have breakfast, I'll treat!" Xiao Yao slung his bag over his shoulder and headed forward.

  "Alright, I'll have some Xiaolongbao..." said the young lady after a moment's thought.

  "No problem!!"

  Xiaoyao agreed very readily, making people think he was very generous, but...

  "My goodness! Is this what you call treating me?" The young lady stood in the Mo family's kitchen, looking like she had just been slapped.

  Xiao Yao nodded and said: "Hmm!! There's everything here. You young ladies and gentlemen are very picky, each of you has many requirements, so... there's everything!"

  "This doesn't need your explanation, I'm giving you this opportunity to have breakfast with me. You don't go out to eat, just eat at home. Do you think it's worth the chance I'm giving you?" The young lady pointed at Xiao Yao and asked.

  "Of course, it's worth it, young lady. The breakfast outside is absolutely not as delicious as ours here, don't you believe me?" Xiao Yao didn't mind at all, even if he was being looked down upon by the young lady.
