Chapter 14: Winter Goes to Spring
Chenxin has two junior brothers, the second junior brother is in the temple, dedicated to practicing Buddhism, is an introverted person, has very few words, since the old host left, there are even less, the third junior brother, perennial outside play, every once in a while will write a letter back, report a peace, according to the words of the old host, is not a person who can stay in the temple.
The three brothers grew up together since childhood, and when it comes to personality, Chenxin is similar to the third junior brother, and it is also the most pleasing, only the second junior brother of the stuffy gourd is the same as the old host, and he can stand this boring temple life.
The reason why the old abbot let the senior brother Chenxin come to take over the position of the presiding officer is also a lot of consideration, and the experience of going down the mountain for several years has made Chenxin grow greatly, and he understands that some of the two junior brothers do not understand the reason, and the Buddha and martial arts are deep in the true transmission of the old host, unlike the two junior brothers, who are walking with a limp, one recites Buddhism, and the other learns martial arts.
And there are a lot of considerations in terms of personality, and in the end, Chenxin became the abbot of the temple, and the third junior brother also put down the mountain with Chenxin.
......
Early the next morning, Zhao Xu came to the front yard in good spirits, did a simple activity, felt his arm that was not so sore, did not dare to delay time, and directly started the great cause of climbing the mountain.
Fall less, speed faster.
Zhao Xu, who is cultivating hard day by day, obviously feels his progress, which makes him more motivated......
A month later, Zhao Xu was already able to go down and up the mountain before lunch, and after eating, continue.
The speed of eating and drinking with an empty stomach in the morning is not as fast as eating and drinking in the afternoon, so the afternoon ends very early, and Zhao Xu has time for free activities.
After dinner, I came to the open space in the front yard and continued to practice, practicing Tian Wei's five-step boxing, which was a little rusty, but it was not a big problem.
After a month of hard practice in mountain climbing, Zhao Xu felt that it was very different from before when he played five-step boxing, and he was no longer a showman, but he had never fought Zhao Xu and didn't know what level he was now.
I wanted to ask the old monk, but I felt that it was useless to ask, and now I know that it is useless......
Three months later, Zhao Xu was already able to go up and down twice before lunch, once he could go up the third step, without falling once, and without taking a break halfway.
The muscles of the arms are obviously larger, and the palms are full of thick calluses, and they hate the pain of rubbing when they take a bath......
Zhao Xu doesn't care, I don't rely on this to eat with a face...... It doesn't matter.
"Xiao Xuxu, come on, come on, I'll take you to play some new tricks, No, bring it, come with me. ”
The old monk threw Zhao Xu a weight, arms and legs, even pants and tops, a batch of heavy, clothes and pants are strung with iron sheets, directly made into a clothing style, and the cover on the body is heavy and big, funny to death.
About 100 pounds......
After estimating, Zhao Xu tried to move around, but almost didn't fall to his death, making the old monk breathless with laughter.
"Okay, I'm kidding you, it's still a little early for you, take off your shirt and pants first, don't remove the ones on your arms and legs, come here. ”
Pile driving, small things, very simple, not difficult, a thousand punches......
After that, Zhao Xu went up and down the mountain with a load in the morning, and in the afternoon, he ran to the front yard under a tree and punched a pile, a thousand times......
Underestimating the difficulty, it took at least half of the night to swing the fist, the fists were all red and hot, and the bark of the tree was all lost by Zhao Xu.
This kind of cultivation lasted for a month, and he was finally able to swing his fist a thousand times before dark, and when the old monk saw this, he asked Zhao Xu to put on a special weight-bearing shirt and pants, and in this way, Zhao Xu returned to the way he was a month ago, waving his fist until most of the night......
Zhao Xu thought about giving up and sneaking away, but ...... That's too cowardly, it's not a man, and besides, the old monk doesn't know what's going on, it's very evil, whenever Zhao Xu wants to give up, the old monk will run over to encourage, talk about his heart, cheer up, let Zhao Xu maintain his mentality, and then insist on it, don't give up easily...... Wait, a series of chicken soup poured Zhao Xu is like chicken blood, and so repeatedly, Zhao Xu has persisted to this day.
It's been four months......
I don't know how she is, will she be bullied?
If there is, then I'm going to blow that person up, uh...... It's too violent, the impact is not good, and her classmates will reject her...... Then I'll secretly put a sack and beat it, it's better to be angry, it's better than doing nothing, thinking of this, Zhao Xu smiled, learning martial arts, isn't it just to protect important people, hehe, in that case, maybe she will agree to have a relationship with me.
Zhao Xu lay on the bed and thought nonsense, thinking about this and that, and finally fell asleep.
In the past four months, Zhao Xu will write to his family to report his safety, talk about his current situation, dare not complain, report good news but not worry, so as not to worry at home, Zhao Xu has not told his address, so he has not received a letter from home for so long, Zhao Xu is afraid that seeing those will shake him.
Half a year has passed......
In December, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the cultivation of mountain climbing also ended here, half a year of training made Zhao Xu feel that he was practicing the unicorn arm, the legs had never been practiced, and he was just tied to the weight, and the physique was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which was weird.
In the morning, I swept the snow with the monks of the monastery, had breakfast, came to the open space in the front yard, and continued the training of piling, but the follow-up piling was a little different, the old monk taught a simple combination, not only to punch but also to kick, the same thousand times, but only three thousand times more than before punching, and the impact of weight, the cold day also has to keep sweating, sweat freezes and melts, melts and freezes, and so practiced for a winter......
The Spring Festival is no different as usual, except that I sent a letter to my home to say goodbye to peace.
Zhao Xu, who has been out for more than half a year, is starting to feel homesick......
On this mountain, Zhao Xu has grown a lot, and he has grown a lot taller, not only practicing abdominal muscles but also pectoralis major muscles, which makes Zhao Xu feel very at ease, and the effort must be rewarded.
The old monk didn't teach him any kung fu moves, and he also explained that he didn't need these moves to form a dantian, but he needed to develop his own abilities, as for what it meant, the old monk hadn't said it yet, Zhao Xu asked, and the answer he got was that it was too early, so he didn't ask anymore and practiced with peace of mind.
After the cold winter, the snow melts and everything recovers.
The old monk and Zhao Xu were comparing in the open space in the front yard, saying that it was a comparison rather than a unilateral crushing, the old monk attacked, Zhao Xu defended, don't talk too much, just dodge, there is no move to attack, but soon the strength is very great, so that Zhao Xu suffered a lot of losses, so he no longer cares about face, and takes the old monk's attack hard, and can dodge if he can, it is too painful to take a hit.
One attack and one defense, which lasted for more than a month, Zhao Xu, who was passively beaten, also began to gradually become active, and Zhao Xu, whose strength and speed have been greatly improved, began to attack, all of which were simple straight punches and hook fists, horizontal kicks and side kicks and whip legs, there are no moves only to talk about fast and accurate, just hit the old monk, when to meet the old monk and when to end the day's cultivation, whenever it is about to get dark, the old monk will deliberately let Zhao Xu hit himself, and the water is too obvious, old monk, who do you look down on!
Zhao Xu held his breath every day, and he was always looking for an opportunity to punch the old monk, let him look down on people, and let him deliberately release water!
