Chapter 10 The Daily Arrangement of the Five Tiger Gates
6 to 6 with a one-hour lunch break, from the initial discomfort to the slow habituation.
Gather at 6 o'clock in the morning, warm up for half an hour, and learn martial arts for an hour and a half. Because it was a one-on-one teaching, Chen Gou'er didn't dare to slack off at all, after all, his slightest mistake was seen in the eyes of the outer disciples who taught him "Tiger Shape Fist".
Half an hour for breakfast, and then at eight o'clock in the morning, go to the farm on the outskirts of the village to check in and work until one o'clock. Take a one-hour lunch break, and go to Wenqu Academy at two o'clock to study until five o'clock. When she first came here, Chen Gou'er couldn't even believe her eyes.
"This is the Bunqu Academy...... That's right, right?" asked Chen Gou'er as he found a passerby.
"Yes, inside is the Bunqu Academy. Passers-by nodded, and then entered the courtyard where the 'Wuhu Village Private School' hung up.
"New miscellaneous disciple?" On the first day of class, not only was it still one-on-one, but the class was also taught by an outer disciple about twenty years old, "When you enter the Five Tiger Gates, you enter the rivers and lakes, and you must not only understand the rules of the Five Tigers, but also understand the rules of the rivers and lakes." Every day in the future, I will teach you this part of the knowledge one by one. For the remaining two hours, the class will be arranged according to your level of education. ”
To put it simply, this is a correspondence class, giving him all kinds of study materials, and then explaining them briefly, and more often asking him to go back to self-study in the evening. If he encounters something he doesn't understand, he comes to ask the next day, and there are teachers in each subject who can solve his doubts.
"By the way......" the outer disciple looked at Chen Gou'er with a smile, "After graduation, you will receive a state-recognized junior high school diploma. As for high school...... If you can become an outer disciple within these three years, then the inner sect will naturally send you to the high school in the town. Of course, your book and tuition fees for these three years are all free, as long as you are still a miscellaneous disciple!"
"Disciple benefits so much?" Chen Gou'er couldn't believe his ears.
"Wuhumen is not short of your tuition and miscellaneous fees. The outer disciple said proudly, "Of course, the main reason is that our Five Tiger Sect is the fifth largest sect in the rivers and lakes, and we have many industries, and most of the profits are used to build the sect and give back to the disciples." If you change to another ordinary sect...... Hehe......"
For ordinary sects that can recruit over-age disciples, it is estimated that the food and clothing of the disciples will be a problem, and the welfare will naturally not be talked about. Hearing this, Chen Gou'er suddenly rejoiced that he did not choose a recommendation, but stayed as a miscellaneous disciple.
"But is it really okay for me to study for three hours in the afternoon?" Chen Gou'er was a little worried, "Isn't it generally better to work more?"
"We are Wuhumen, and we don't lack that money. The outer disciple smiled, "You're only twelve years old, and five hours a day is already a lot. Rest assured, wages won't be disadvantaged to you. If you change from a miscellaneous disciple to a miscellaneous servant, then you will not be able to run away for eight hours, but since you have the suffix 'disciple', then you will naturally have to be treated differently.
If you don't understand the rules and rules, you will definitely get into trouble and even encounter danger in the future. Martial arts are not clear, then you must not commit the act of violating the prohibition with martial arts, since you have entered the rivers and lakes, then the rules you should know must be remembered. ”
After school at five o'clock, but before six o'clock, exercise for an hour. In the words of his outer disciples: "Good physical fitness is the basic condition for practicing martial arts." If it falls in the wind, then no matter how advanced the martial arts are, it is no different from waste. ”
"Teacher, is there any internal strength in that door?" asked Chen Gou'er with some excitement.
"Have you watched too many martial arts TV series?" the outer disciple smiled, "In this world, there is no internal strength." Don't look at the rivers and lakes in this world, but those depicted in the TV series may not be true. ”
In the past ten years, many people have been learning martial arts from the inner strength of the inner method, but when they heard that there was no such thing in the door, many people gave up practicing martial arts. He wanted to see if Chen Gou'er was like this.
In other words, the tiger claw skill that can crush other people's bones...... Is it pure brute force?" Chen Gou'er thought for a moment.
"Have you ever seen someone else use the Tiger Claw Skill? In fact, it is not right to say that it is brute force, the Tiger Claw Gong of the Five Tiger Gate was born from the Wudang Tiger Claw Grabler, which roughly belongs to the martial arts of the grappling class, and it was originally a soft martial art.
It's just that our ancestor thinks that since it is called Tiger Claw, it should take the fierce route. So in 20 years, he explored a set of hard skills, and at the same time improved the routines of Tiger Claw Gong to create his own Tiger Claw Gong.
Like another martial art "Tiger Mighty Body", it takes a long time to practice hard skills, combined with various drugs, and finally learn this set of tiger claw skills of the Five Tiger Gates without leaving secret injuries.
The tiger's claws are invincible, steel can be bent, not to mention bones. In the final analysis, hard work is the basic skill, and it is the same as standing on the pile to improve the stability of the lower body. Although there is no internal strength, the essence of martial arts is actually in this external strength. The outer disciple said proudly.
It was also from the Q&A on the first day that Chen Gouer knew why the apprentices of the Five Tiger Sect started at the age of six. Six years old is a good age to lay the foundation, three years of foundation, three years of martial arts. Those who meet the standards become inner disciples, those who do not meet the standards are outer disciples, and those who do not meet the standards either become miscellaneous disciples in exchange for a chance to come back to life, or obediently leave the sect.
In other words, the twelve-year-old outer disciple of the sect, after six years of training, has a physical fitness that is not much higher than Chen Gou'er, not to mention the potential or talent, but it is the most likely to go further.
But it is inevitable that there will be one or two who miss the age, but are talented. Therefore, this is the reason for relaxing the collection standards for miscellaneous disciples and allowing people under the age of fourteen to enter the sect as miscellaneous disciples.
"In other words, don't look at the three years, unless you are talented, it is difficult to become an outer disciple...... You have to be mentally prepared for this. As Edison said, 'Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.' But that one percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the ninety-nine percent of sweat.'
For the rivers and lakes, one percent, or even one thousandths of a talent, is more important than ninety-nine percent, or even nine hundred and ninety-nine thousandths of a sweat!" the outer disciple said earnestly.
"Anyway, I still have three years to go, right?" Chen Gou'er smiled when she heard this, "I don't need to spend these three years alone, how do I know how bad my talent is?"
"Haha...... That's the truth. The outer disciple was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this little guy is a wonderful person.
After 6 o'clock, dinner was held, and then free time, but since it was a dormitory for four people, the result of the internal negotiation was that the lights went out at 10 o'clock. If you don't want to sleep yet, you can do it, but you can't disturb other people's rest.
Generally speaking, during the period from seven to ten o'clock, you can study, continue to practice martial arts, and even go to the library in the village to read books. There is even money for other entertainment, and three hours are free anyway. You can take one day off a week, apply with the Tiger Cub, and you can rest after passing, and this day is a paid holiday.
Whether you want to continue to learn martial arts and practice literature on this day can be explained when you apply, so you need to apply to the Young Tiger Pavilion.
Unknowingly, after Chen Gou'er became a miscellaneous disciple, he had been living in Wuhumen for ten days. On this day, Xiao Yi, who had been away from home, returned, registered at the entrance, and walked towards the living area of the inner disciples......
