Chapter 179: Strange Boy
The people here are simple, obviously not educated by Hua Tianguo's "don't talk to strangers", the young man quickly propped up the canoe and rowed to the lake, but his mouth kept talking.
"Martial arts? It's amazing! I heard my grandfather say that those who can practice martial arts are the darlings of God. It's a pity that I don't know how to practice martial arts! ”
"Grandpa Tai also practiced martial arts when he was young, but he is old now."
"I've heard people say that if you practice martial arts well, you can live forever, is it true?"
……
The young man spoke extremely fast, not giving Lin Ruochen a chance to interject at all, as if he just wanted to ask his own question, and did not think about who could answer him.
When the boat came to the shore, the boy bent down and untied the rope of the fish, lifted it with one hand, and went ashore.
With a hook in the air, a rope flew out of the bow of the ship, and a section of the chain landed exactly on a stake.
Lin Ruochen was stunned for a moment, he could see that this young man had never practiced martial arts at all, but this set of movements was extremely smooth and exquisite, even some dark martial artists might not have this ability.
Is practice perfect, or has it been instructed by a master?
The boy said that his grandfather had practiced martial arts when he was young, so he was a reclusive master.
Lin Ruochen has now reached the bottleneck of breakthrough, and when he wants to walk the world and seek insight, he can't help but move in his heart, and said to the young man: "There are many problems you said, I don't know. However, practicing martial arts, if you get the Fa, can indeed make people live longer. Little brother, can you take me to meet your grandfather? ”
"Oh, yes. It's just that our family lives a little far away. ”
The boy put the big fish on his shoulder and grinned.
"I'll take the fish for you, and you can lead the way." As soon as Lin Ruochen stretched out his hand, he grabbed the noose of the fish head of the big fish, and with a flip of his wrist, he held it in front of him. Twenty or thirty pounds of big fish struggled in the air, Lin Ruochen's arms were straight, but there was no trembling in the slightest.
The young man was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "The strength of your arm is so great!" It's bigger than Hao San in our village! ”
In the barley beside him, he picked up a coarse cloth shirt and draped it over his body, and put on a pair of straw sandals, and the boy trotted along a path by the lake towards the mountain behind.
The mountain road gradually became a little rough, and the young man was probably worried that Lin Ruochen would not be able to keep up, so he looked back from time to time. But every time he turned around, he saw that Lin Ruochen always followed him five or six steps away, and his steps were gentle. It seems that no matter how fast he runs, Lin Ruochen can always keep up as long as he walks unhurriedly.
A trace of a child of this age gradually grew in his heart, and the unique narrowness of the teenager's pace suddenly accelerated, and he ran forward, and said with a smile: "Can you still keep up?" ”
Running out for a distance of several hundred meters in one go, the young man turned around, ready to see how far he had pulled down Lin Ruochen.
But when he turned around, the boy screamed, as if he had seen a ghost.
Lin Ruochen had a smile on his face, and his right arm was holding a big fish weighing twenty or thirty catties, still five or six steps behind him!
"Impossible! How did you go so fast? ”
The young man was a little stunned, Lin Ruochen breathed evenly, the corners of his clothes did not swing, and he obviously did not run. But how did he keep up with himself?
"This is also martial arts, you can run faster and try it."
Lin Ruochen smiled faintly. This young man's speed is not slow, especially on this mountain road, when he gets down, his toes slightly have the meaning of borrowing strength to take off, his steps are light, it is definitely a clever footwork!
"That's Bibi. I don't believe you can be faster than me with this big fish! I'm the fastest in our village, be careful, I'm going to speed up. ”
The young man's competitive energy came up, ready to compare his feet with Lin Ruochen.
He didn't think he would lose, and no one in the village could outrun him. Although this brother looks very powerful, how can he be his opponent when he runs on this mountain road and holds a big fish?
The young man bowed his waist, his arms slightly opened, and his speed instantly increased to a terrifying level.
Lin Ruochen's eyes flashed.
This teenager is not simple!
When a normal person runs, he will unconsciously concentrate the strength of his whole body on his legs, and although he can burst out at a high speed in a short time, he will only be one or two hundred meters, and his steps will be heavy and difficult to last.
But although the young man's center of gravity sank slightly, his strength was evenly distributed between his shoulders and waist and abdomen, and his steps were light, and he didn't even bring much dust!
This kind of footwork, this kind of speed, even a small accomplished dark power master, it is impossible to achieve!
If there is no external force, the teenager can completely maintain this speed, more than ten miles, no problem.
Lin Ruochen's footsteps are still not slow, but between lifting his feet, the strength of gripping the ground has obviously increased. If he wants to keep up with the young man, and if he wants to maintain his current demeanor, he can only secretly take out a few points of his strength.
Lin Ruochen shook his head secretly, unexpectedly, a rural boy actually made him suffer a small loss in terms of body style.
Originally, he didn't have much research on his body technique, and what he relied on in combat was just the explosion of the moment when he drove the rain and turned into a dragon. Throwing away that unique body style, if you don't add strength, you really can't be the opponent of this young man.
Lin Ruochen's footsteps were silent, and the young man naturally didn't know where he was, not to mention that the speed had already rushed up, and there was no time to look back.
Just rushed out all the way, along the winding mountain road, it was directly nearly ten miles away!
The trees on both sides gradually intensified, and it was already halfway up the mountain, and the young man stopped his steps, took a breath of turbidity, and exhaled a long breath.
It's almost, it's basically my limit, and if I run any further, the speed will be reduced.
You can't catch up now, can you? The young man turned around with a smile on his lips.
As soon as I turned around, a fishy smell rushed into my nostrils. The young man looked up and saw that a big fish of four or five feet was hanging in front of him, Lin Ruochen's right arm was straight, as if he had stood here without moving, and he didn't even breathe in the slightest!
"How is that possible?"
The world in the boy's heart collapsed in an instant.
How else to play? I ran desperately, and people didn't seem to have any strength at all, but they still followed behind me lightly.
You know, it's harder to follow at the same distance than to surpass!
The boy shook his head in frustration, it seemed that he was really sitting in the well and watching the sky. No wonder Grandpa always tells himself how powerful people who practice martial arts are. This brother must be a martial arts master.
I will lose even running, and I guess I really don't have the talent to practice martial arts. Thinking that he had pestered his grandfather for a long time and refused to teach himself martial arts, the young man's heart sank, and he was not even in the mood to speak.
Seeing that the smile on the young man's face disappeared in an instant, and the sparkle in his eyes that shone like stars dimmed, Lin Ruochen smiled.
"Little brother, do you think you can run fast?"
"I used to think so, but now I know that I'm so slow! I don't have the talent to practice martial arts, so it's no wonder my grandfather won't teach me. ”
The boy's voice was low, completely devoid of his previous jump.
"Huh! I can tell you that at your age, with the speed of running alone, there will be no more than fifty people in this ancient martial world faster than you! ”
Lin Ruochen's luck is not a joke. Even he vaguely felt that he might have said too much, at the age of thirteen, he could rely on his speed, so that he had to exert his strength to win, maybe he wouldn't even have the number of hands!
If you think about it more clearly, this young man doesn't even have any experience in martial arts, and it is completely by virtue of that kind of peculiar footwork, Lin Ruochen's world has even begun to collapse!
It's not that he hasn't seen geniuses, like Chen Feng, Pei Qingzhu, Heavenly Soul and others, they are all first-class geniuses. But compared with this young man, it seems to be slightly inferior.
With such a backbone, his grandfather still refused to teach him martial arts, Lin Ruochen was sure that the old man was not because of this young man's talent at all. He couldn't help but increase his interest in this old man.
"What do you say? Am I not slow? ”
The boy was a little puzzled, he couldn't figure out what level of speed he was now.
"Slow? Those who have been practicing martial arts since birth, few of them can outrun you, do you still feel slow? Lin Ruochen was also speechless, did this not let people live?
"Then I'll ask Grandpa Tai, why don't you teach me martial arts!"
The boy frowned, already a little angry, and turned around and ran towards the mountain.
He wanted to ask his grandfather in person, since it wasn't his own qualifications, why didn't he teach him martial arts!
The children in the village, everyone has learned a few hands from grandpa, but they have never even stood on a pile! Is it really like the older children in the village said, they are just children picked up by their grandfather, and they are not considered people in their village at all?
After walking for more than 20 miles, turning the mountain, a small mountain village appeared in the col in front of me.
The village is not big, nor is it small, there are about fifty or sixty households. It's already evening, and the smoke is like a fairyland.
Before they got close to the village, the children who were playing on the hillside were attracted by the big fish in Lin Ruochen's hands, and they hugged and surrounded them.
Seeing that Lin Ruochen was not familiar, this group of children was a little afraid to speak, but they chattered around the young man.
"Atai, is this the fish you caught today? It's so big, there's always twenty pounds, right? ”
"What do you think? The one that Uncle Chun fished last time was more than 20 catties, and it was definitely not as big as this one! I think it's at least thirty pounds! ”
"Atai, who is this person who helped you get the fish? I hold it in my hand all the time, and it looks so weird. ”
……
A group of children gossiping, and even a few bold, had already come up to the big fish, reached out and touched the scales the size of copper coins, and sighed.
"Don't bother me, I'm going to find my grandfather for something, don't surround me!"
The boy seemed to be very familiar with this group of children, but today he was not in the mood to laugh here, shouted loudly, separated everyone, and strode towards a small red brick courtyard behind the mountain pass.
Lin Ruochen naturally followed behind him, smiling at a group of children, but did not speak. After walking more than a dozen steps, I heard a faint voice of doubt behind me.
"What's wrong with Atay? That's not usually the case with him. ”
"Maybe there is really an emergency, it is estimated that the young man is here to find Grandpa, how about we hurry over and have a look?"
"Okay, okay, we'll sneak behind."
(Sorry, a little late.) )
