Chapter 4: The Practice Begins

In the early morning, teenagers and girls stood upright on the flat ground outside the house, and not far away, a middle-aged man in simple clothes walked slowly towards them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Run with me from now on, everybody has to keep up." After speaking briefly, the master led his disciples to the side of the steps leading to the bottom of the mountain.

"It looks like I'm going up and down the mountain and climbing the steps, why does Master say it's running?" With some doubts in his heart, Xing Yu looked at his partners on the side, but found that everyone had a solemn look on their faces, which changed from the ease and liveliness when they were resting in the bedroom. "Is this what they usually do?" Thinking of the second senior brother's advice and Qing Rong's words, Xing Yu also took a deep breath, no longer taking this as training, but as practice.

"Brush!" The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and the master's figure swept down the mountain almost instantly. "So fast!" Xing Yu was shocked, and rushed down at high speed without a start. However, when he reacted, he realized that he was the only one left here. "Damn!" As soon as Xing Yu gritted his teeth, he also rushed down the mountain. However, the steep steps, let alone running, are terrifying even if you walk, and you can't improve your speed at all. "Why is this happening?" Xing Yu looked at the people who were running farther and farther below, "Is the gap so big?" "Xing Yu is very unwilling, but there is no way to do it." Calm down. Xingyu muttered to himself. A few days ago, Xing Yu had already learned that the young people and girls here could not absorb true qi, since they could not cultivate, they could run so fast, they must have their own uniqueness, such as...... Footwork. Xingyu looked down at everyone, and a pair of agile soles were speeding up the steps.

"Actually stepped on the edge of the steps!" Xing Yu was shocked, he naturally knew such danger. If you are not careful, you will roll down the cliff and break your bones. "Do you want to speed up?" Xing Yu is a little entangled, accelerating means danger, but if it keeps going like this...... "There is no point in not accelerating!" Xing Yu's eyes lit up, he followed the master's cultivation in order to become stronger, and the same goes for other partners. The same goes for those disciples who died, how can they practice here without the consciousness of death! With a ruthless heart, Xing Yu glared at his feet, and his body almost flew down the mountain like jumping off a cliff.

"Senior Brother Xingyu has been left behind." Li Feixuan listened attentively to the footsteps beside him, and practiced with his senior brothers all day long, and the rhythm of everyone's footsteps had long been remembered clearly by him. With his extraordinary judgment, there are a total of thirty-two different steps, except for the master, there are thirty-one people, it must be that Xing Yu was left behind, since he couldn't hear his footsteps, it was obviously too far behind. "Master, it seems that you don't want to show any affection for the newcomer." Looking at the sturdy master in front of him again, Li Feixuan sighed for Xing Yu in his heart, "I hope you don't force yourself, although the punishment is severe, as long as you don't fall down the mountain, at least you can save your life." At this moment, an unfamiliar footstep echoed in Li Feixuan's ears from far and near.

"This guy ......" Li Feixuan turned his head, he wasn't worried that he would fall because of turning his head, he was already familiar with the location of each step and the degree of damage to the edges and corners, even if there were tens of thousands of steps! At the end of the field of vision, a vigorous figure gradually moved closer to this side. "Xingyu ......" Li Feixuan was deeply shocked by this new teenager, he originally thought that the latter was a thin teenager who couldn't even bear the sun, but today it greatly changed his opinion. Still, I hope you make it to the end. Although he was surprised by Xing Yu's adaptability, Li Feixuan was still a little worried. Not to mention that this mountain is more than 3,000 meters high, but they have to run with Master all morning! At such a speed, that young man probably won't be able to last even two minutes, right?

Under everyone's speed, in less than half an hour, they set off from the top of the mountain more than 3,000 meters high and were about to reach the ground. "Here we are." At the forefront, after the master slowly said two words, he gradually stopped his steps, and the soles of his feet were already standing on the ground at the entrance of the mountain. "I'll count to three." Master said slowly, "Three, two, one." With that, Master turned his body on his back and began to look at the young men in front of him. It seems that the new star feather will inevitably be punished. The fat man on the side sighed, and said with a little schadenfreude, "I haven't seen Master punish people for a few days, and I don't know if that kid can survive it." But he's as tired as a dog now, right? ”

"Fatty, who do you say is like a dog?" At this time, a white palm was placed on the fat man's shoulder, and at the same time, some ridiculous voices sounded in the fat man's ears. "Do you need to ask, of course you...... Damn, why are you here? As soon as he said a word, the fat man suddenly jumped up, looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. Stop chatting and keep running. Just when everyone was shocked by the young man in front of them, Master's flat voice sounded from the side, and then everyone saw Master start running towards the mountain again. Come on. Stopping their thoughts, everyone got up again and ran up the hill.

"This kid is really unexpected." Feeling the steady footsteps coming from behind, Master was also amazed by Xing Yu's qualifications. In this way, after a few back and forth, the sun gradually climbed high into the sky, and the air began to release a scorching breath. Gradually, beads of sweat began to appear on everyone's faces, and everyone's clothes were gradually soaked with sweat. This method of cultivation is relatively comfortable in spring and autumn, but in winter and summer, the biting cold wind and scorching sunlight cannot fully adapt to it, and even after practicing like this for eight years, it is still hot and sweaty. However, even so, their stamina has been greatly improved, and their physical strength is definitely not a problem, and the whole process is just a feeling of suffering. They were the elite selected from the hundreds of people back then, how could they be crushed by this kind of tempering!

"Hu ......" wiped the sweat from his head as he ran, Qing Rong looked at Xing Yu on the right, the young man was panting violently, and it seemed that his physical strength was more serious than her. Thinking of the young man's sunburned appearance at that time, Qing Rong couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Whoa......" gasped heavily, and Xingyu gritted his teeth and ran up the mountain. There's no way, although I've been exercising in Meteor Town for so long before, it's still not at the same level as this kind of cultivation. But ......" came to mind the appearance of Qing Rong, and Xingyu spat out a mouthful of saliva. "Even a girl like her can survive, how can I be left behind!" At that moment, I couldn't help but look at Qing Rong on the left, and the eyes of the two happened to meet each other. "Ahh Seeing Xing Yu's gaze, Qing Rong was shocked and quickly withdrew her gaze, but she was just about to run forward with all her heart, but her feet suddenly slipped forward!

"Ahh Immediately followed by Qing Rong's exclamation, everyone couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, only to see that the girl's figure was about to fall backwards. Falling in such a place is basically a person's death!

"Don't!" Xing Yu's eyes almost jumped out of his sockets, and the moment he saw Qing Rong about to fall, the tragic situation of his family being killed suddenly appeared in his mind. He really didn't want to bear the pain of losing his family anymore, how could he watch the girl fall down the mountain now! "Damn!" The body was forcibly twisted, Xing Yu ignored the pain caused by the muscle twisting, and changed the direction of his right foot that was about to step on, and kicked hard towards the vertical side of the steps! The next moment, everyone saw a figure break away from the team and rush towards the girl on the side like flying! No, it should be said that it is flying. Xing Yu's kick just now was kicked out with all his strength, and he didn't have time to calculate whether his foothold was on the steps or on the edge. The whole person is like jumping off a cliff and drawing a parabola in the air. Once he falls on the edge, not only will he not be able to save Qing Rong, but he will also slide down the mountain! At this time, Xing Yu realized that the edge of the steps had become a little smooth with everyone's cultivation and stepping. But even so, the problem before landing has been solved!

"Smack." With one hand on Qing Rong's back and the other on the crook of her leg, Xing Yu didn't have time to care about the girl in his arms, and his left foot, which was about to land, twisted and tilted exactly thirty degrees to the steps. Considering how smooth the steps were, Xingyu gave up the intention of stopping one step and adopted this strategy instead, so that even if his left foot stepped on the edge and slid down, he would quickly fall to the next step, and he would be able to keep his body steady! The sound of "brushing ......" the friction between the sole of the shoe and the steps sounded, and Xingyu's left foot finally stabilized after sliding down five steps.

"Hu ......" experienced a thrilling moment, Xing Yu let out a long breath, looked at the girl in his arms and smiled, "Are you okay?" Qing Rong looked at the boy in front of her, and the boy's smile looked extremely charming in the sunlight. Yes? Qing Rong's face turned red, and she quickly got up and said, "I'm fine, thank you Xiao Yu, you saved my life." "Hiss......" As soon as she finished speaking, Qing Rong saw Xing Yu's somewhat painful look, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong, Xiao Yu?" Are you okay? "It's okay, it's just that my waist is twisted." Xing Yu covered his aching waist, looked at the people who were still running upwards and said, "You hurry up and follow, I'm afraid I won't be able to run like I did just now." "No, I can't." Qing Rong immediately refused.

Xing Yu just wanted to say something, looking at the girl's determined expression, he couldn't help but sigh: "Whatever you want, it's just that we both have to be punished in this way, I didn't want to drag you down." "How can it be a drag on me? Obviously, I dragged Xiao Yu down. Qing Rong said with some guilt, "Don't run away, you will be punished if you are punished, let's go up little by little." "Hmm."

The sun gradually climbed to the highest point, and at the top of the mountain, a group of running figures gradually appeared in the field of vision of the two. "Three, two, one." The master counted three times as usual, and after looking at everyone, he immediately looked at Xingyu and the two. "You will be punished for not completing the morning practice." "Got it." The two answered. In response, Xing Yu looked at the expressions of everyone on the side, and no one had the intention of asking for mercy, only the fat man looked at Qing Rong with a worried look, it seems that the master in front of him is really a very stern image.

"Xingyu is very adaptable." The master looked at Xing Yu with no resentment on his face, and his eyes couldn't help but become a little solemn. "And his reflexes and ability to deal with them are far faster than anyone here, even though he may not even be aware of it." The scene that just happened, although he didn't look back, everything was already presented in his heart. "If this kid can survive, the future is limitless!"

"The others go to dinner, you two, come with me." The master said to the two of them, and then turned and walked away. Xing Yu and Qing Rong looked at each other for a moment, and then followed. "Click." The wooden door closed, and Master and the two of them came to a small room.

"You," Master said, pointing to the beam overhead, "jump up and hold on to it with both hands." "Yes." Qing Rong answered, and then jumped forward, and her hands were on the edge of the beam. "Pretty high." Looking at the beam above his head, Xing Yu admired Qing Rong's jumping power in his heart, and then he also learned to jump hard, barely reaching it with one hand, Xing Yu hurriedly grabbed it with his other hand, and then he felt that he had saved some strength. "Yes, that's all." The master said, and then turned and left.

"That's it?" The wooden door closed again, and Xing Yu was a little surprised, this was much lighter than he imagined. "What else do you want?" When Qing Rong heard this, she said angrily, "We have to be like this all the time, I don't know how long, it may be until the afternoon practice, or it may be a whole day, and there is no food to eat." ”

"What, no food?" Feeling his somewhat deflated stomach, Xing Yu's expression froze. "You know how to eat, you first think about how to survive it." Qing Rong said, "Master didn't let us calculate it with one hand. ”“…… Xiao Rong, have you been punished like this before? Xing Yu asked. Of course, none of us here have been penalized. Qing Rong said, "And this is just one of them, there are many other punishments, all of which feel simple and practical at first, but it is rare to die." ”

"Isn't Master afraid that we will be lazy?" Xing Yu looked at the wooden floor below and said, if you can't hold it, just jump down.

"This wooden floor is not strong, and it is full of needleboards, and if you jump directly, the wooden board will collapse." Qing Rong explained. "This is too ......" Feeling the sour numbness that had begun to come from his arms, imagining the scene of jumping on the needleboard, Xing Yu's scalp was a little numb, and then he looked at Qing Rong's hanging hands, how did such slender arms support his body for so long?

"So, the punishment is too severe." Qing Rong's face was no longer relaxed, and she looked at Xing Yu with a worried expression, "Xiao Yu, no matter what, it's okay if your arms feel wasted, you must hold on!" I don't want you to die, I have to hold on! "Hmm." Looking at Qing Rong's expression, Xing Yu's face also became solemn: "I will survive it." ”

The minutes ticked by......

"Ahem......" Resisting the feeling of an explosion in his arm, cold sweat dripping through Xing Yu's clothes on the floor below. Not only that, but the pain in my lower back became more and more intense, and it seemed that the original sprain had worsened. "Xiao Yu?" Looking at Xing Yu who was twitching with some distress, Qing Rong asked with some concern. "I'm fine." Xing Yuqiang pretended to smile and said, "Didn't you come here like this in the first place?" "Come on." Looking at Xing Yu's arms and bright red fingers, Qing Rong said softly.

"Arms, no longer conscious......" Xing Yu thought with his eyes closed and endured the pain. It's so torturous, almost crazy. Xing Yu didn't dare to look at the floor, he was afraid that he would involuntarily let go and jump down when he saw it. This is simply not something that ordinary people can bear! It's not just about overdrafting, but ...... Xing Yu looked at Qing Rong's worried expression, and remembered the scene of that rainy night, and his face became more resolute.

"I'm going to get through it!"

In this way, I don't know how long later, when Xingyu felt like a dead man hanging on it, the wooden door opened.

The master walked in and looked at the two of them, didn't say anything, walked to the side of the wall and pressed something, only to see that the side of the beam close to the two suddenly seemed to fall off, slowly tilting downward, just like that, Qing Rong hurriedly ran to Xingyu after reaching the floor first. Xingyu's feet gradually stood on the floor, but he still maintained a hanging position, not that he wanted to, but that his hands really didn't obey him.

"Ha ......" smiled weakly, Xing Yu looked at Qing Rong who was rushing towards him, and the sense of relief that hit him made him feel like he had come to heaven. It's okay to get through it. After muttering to himself, Xingyu collapsed on the ground like mud.
