This palm was very violently, and it slashed on the stele but suddenly returned, and the stele did not move at all, nor did it make a sound, as if it was only touched by the edge of the palm. It wasn't until Zhu Hong withdrew from Zhang Xu and stood up that the stele made a "cluck" sound, and the upper half of the stele suddenly shattered into more than a dozen pieces and scattered on the ground.

Although it was not the first time he had seen it, Xiao Xinwang sitting on the steps still had wide eyes, and the look of surprise and envy on his face was even worse. In his opinion, an incomparably hard bluestone tablet was actually smashed into pieces with a light palm, and this big brother was simply three points more powerful than the Hercules fairy in the legendary story.

Zhu Hong looked at the remnants of the half-section of the stone stele, but there was no smug look on his face, but showed a trace of disappointment, sighed, and muttered: "Alas, this style of 'slapping the mountain and shaking the tiger' has been practiced for so long, but it still can't reach the point of turning the stone into powder, it looks like I'm really stupid......

He turned his face to Xin Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, you just stay in the courtyard to play, and I'll go into the house to refine qi." ”

Xiao Xinwang said: "Brother Zhu, go ahead, I'll go to the kitchen and get some food, and it will be delicious when you finish practicing." ”

Zhu Hong nodded and said, "Then xiexie you!"

After entering the door, Zhu Hong sat down cross-legged on the ** on the ground and began to meditate.

Today is the thirteenth day since Zhu Hong began to practice martial arts after recovering from his injury. In the past ten days, Zhu Hong can obviously feel that his internal strength is constantly soaring, and the true qi in his body is getting stronger and stronger, and he has made more progress than he had made in the past year of hard cultivation.

Although Hua Bushi did not tell him the reason, Zhu Hong also guessed a few points, most of which were related to the miraculous healing of the serious injuries suffered by his meridians. From Hua Bushi's move to arrange for him to concentrate on practicing here, Zhu Hong knew that the master also hoped that he would take advantage of the current opportunity to cultivate well, in order to reach a higher level of martial arts.

Therefore, Zhu Hong never dared to waste his time, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, he spent all the time he could use on practicing martial arts. In the first ten days, whether it was the "Shaking Mountain Palm Technique" or the "Shaking Yue Jue", his internal strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and it was not until yesterday that Zhu Hong felt that this rapid progress had been hindered.

One of the styles of "Shaking the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger" in the "Shaking the Mountain Palm" method, he could not practice to ten percent of the heat, and he could not reach the level of "force through the stone to become powder" contained in the palm book, and after a day and a night of hard practice, it was still useless.

The broken stone tablets in the courtyard were all broken by Zhu Hong when he practiced his palm. As far as the palm power reached, the stele was smashed into more than ten pieces, but it was still far from "penetrating the stone into powder", and each attempt did not make any progress compared to the previous one.

"Shaking Yue Jue" is exclusive to the "Shaking Mountain Palm" internal strength mental method, the palm power stagnates, it means that the cultivation of internal strength has also stopped, and there is no entry at all.

Could it be that his fate has come to an end, or has he been unable to break through the bottle item for a while?

Zhu Hong was born with divine power, and his qualifications are excellent, but he is an out-and-out honest man, his method of practicing martial arts has never been fancy, and every point of progress is obtained through hard training. For the current stagnation, he has only one way to deal with it, which is to practice more attentively.

Zhu Hong was concentrated, and soon entered the realm of selflessness, and after the true qi in his body had been running for two weeks, two hours had passed quietly, and the time was almost noon.

When the internal strength reached a certain level, although he was engrossed in the practice and sat still, but under the clear eyes, his sensory perception was extremely sensitive, and Zhu Hongquan could hear any sound in the hut and courtyard clearly.

During this time of his stay, he heard Xiao Xinwang go to the front yard at the door of the hospital, and soon turned back, presumably from the kitchen, and put it on the wooden table under the eaves, and then sat down on the stone steps to play with the stones.

Zhu Hong stretched his muscles and bones, and was about to get up and leave the house and go to the courtyard to practice palm techniques again, but suddenly heard the courtyard door being pushed open, Xiao Xinwang stood up from the stone steps, and said, "Mr. Hua is early, you haven't been here for a while!"

Since Zhu Hong's qi and blood were no longer deficient and he didn't need to take tonics, Hua Bushi had never been here, and he had not been in this hospital for seven or eight days. Hearing that the master was coming, Zhu Hong hurriedly stood up, opened the door and went out.

Hua Bushi was indeed already in the courtyard, standing in front of the few half-cut stone tablets, and was reaching out to touch the broken place, Zhu Hong stepped forward and saluted: "Apprentice Zhu Hong to see the master!"

Hua Bushi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. Zhu Hong, did you break these stone tablets? In this way, it seems that your palm strength has improved a lot, and this style of 'slapping the mountain and shaking the tiger' has already reached seven or eight points. ”

Zhu Hong said: "If this style of palm is practiced, it should be able to 'penetrate the stone into powder', but the apprentice has been practicing for a day and a night, but he has not made the slightest progress, which is really ashamed." ”

Hua Bushi said: "You have been very diligent in practicing martial arts, there are many martial artists with good quality in the rivers and lakes, and you have not been able to practice your current skills after ten years of training, so why should you be ashamed?"

He looked at Zhu Hong's face, and suddenly said: "However, with the meridians of your whole body have been penetrated, and the cultivation of internal strength is no longer an obstacle, this style can be practiced to ten percent perfection, and 'penetrating stones into powder' is not impossible." ”

Zhu Hong lowered his head and said: "I think Zhu Hong is not working hard enough, I will work harder these days, I must practice this style!"

Hua Bushi said: "You can't practice this style, it's not because you don't work hard enough. You must know that if you can shatter the stone tablet, you have the ability to beat it into powder, and the reason why you can't do it for a while is because that trick made it wrong. ”

Zhu Hong was stunned and said: "Is it wrong?" But the apprentice has already carefully studied the palm book, and the moves in his hand are generally the same as those on the Zhenshan palm book, so there should be no mistakes." ”

Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "The palm book is just drawn out of the normal shape of the moves, whether the person who practices is really right, but not necessarily, so there is a saying that 'the shape is like a god'." And even if the gods are similar, there is also the 'meaning' that is more important, if the 'palm' is not enough, no matter how accurate the move is, it is still only a superficial appearance. ”

He smiled slightly and said: "Therefore, if you want to make the moves right, you must have the three essentials of form, god, and meaning, and you can never achieve it by studying the palm book, and the most important thing is the word 'enlightenment'." ”

The eldest young master's tirade was so long that Zhu Hong was like falling into the clouds, and he couldn't understand it at all, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "What does the word 'enlightenment' mean, please ask the master for advice." ”

Hua Bushi thought for a while and said, "'Enlightenment', it means comprehension, and it is not easy to say. Let me ask you first, what is the purpose of your practice of shaking the mountain palm technique 'slapping the mountain and shaking the tiger', and you want to achieve 'turning the stone into powder'?"

Zhu Hong said: "This palm style can only be regarded as ten percent hot only if it is 'through the stone into powder', and I strive to achieve it, because I want to practice martial arts." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Then you have practiced martial arts, but what do you want to do?"

The eldest young master's question was very abrupt, but Zhu Hong couldn't answer it for a while. He didn't have any big ambitions when he first practiced martial arts, just to support his family.

Zhu Hong was born in a poor tenant farmer's family, when his hometown in Anshun County, Qianjing suffered a severe drought, the crops in the field were not harvested, and his father had to sell his little sister. Zhu Hong went to Wuyang City in Xiangxi to participate in the "Five Tiger Heroes Conference", just to earn some silver taels to keep his little sister from being sold.

Later, he invested in the "Evil Dog Gate" and worshipped Hua Bushi as his teacher, Zhu Hong worked hard to practice martial arts, just to earn the fifty taels of silver every month, although these silver taels are not much, but they are enough for the parents and younger siblings in the countryside to live a life of food and clothing.

With the progress of kung fu, Zhu Hong also became interested in practicing martial arts, and once practiced hard day and night. He was born with a chivalrous heart, and he just felt that if he practiced martial arts, he could protect his junior brothers and sisters in the sect when he was fighting, which was very useful.

But what is the purpose of practicing the palm technique, Zhu Hong has never really thought about it seriously.

It was only after a long time that he replied: "Zhu Hong thinks that if he practices martial arts well, he may be able to help more people and keep them from harm." For example, when I was on the 'Green Cockroach', if Zhu Hong's martial arts were strong enough, he would not have been attacked by Lu Qiuhong, and he might be able to save Miss Yi's life, and that night when the master was attacked by an assassin, if my martial arts were strong enough, I would also be able to defend against the enemy, so as not to let the master experience danger. ”

Hua Bushi said: "In this way, the purpose of your martial arts training is just to protect your relatives and friends, but on Wanyi Island that day, in order to save those irrelevant servants Yahuan, why did you become an enemy of Yu Jun, an elder of the Huashan faction?"

Zhu Hong said: "I didn't think about it so much, I just felt that those slaves and maids were innocent people, and most of them were from peasant families, just like villagers in my hometown, so I can't let them lose their lives for no reason." ”

Hua Bushi said: "That's it, you haven't really thought about what you have to do when you practice the ultimate martial arts." If a person is reluctant to do something beyond his ability, even if what he wants to do is a good deed, it is still unwise, and it cannot be said to be right. If a person wants to have power, he must have the determination to take responsibility, otherwise it is in vain. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Zhu Hong, when you struck the stone stele, you couldn't do 'through the stone into powder', because you didn't understand the way of martial arts enough, so that although the move was used, it lacked the decisive intention due to the confusion in your heart. ”

Zhu Hong silently recited "ability, responsibility" in his mouth, lowered his head and pondered, his face was full of distress, and after a long time he said: "The apprentice is stupid, and he really can't understand anything. ”
