A year later.

In the bamboo courtyard, a small figure comes and goes, like a butterfly wearing flowers and flying, light and elegant.

Before long, the figure stopped, revealing a childish little face, and his eyes were as bright as stars. Xiao Nan exhaled deeply, and his little hand was withdrawn from the left and right, changing from movement to stillness, and slowly closing the effort.

This is the crane-shaped pile in "Twelve Ancestors Fist", imitating the flying crane and exercising the lightness and changes of the body, and it is the foundation of polishing the muscles and bones in the quenching stage.

Similarly, there are deer, rabbits, cows, apes, bears, turtles, fish, snakes, eagles, phoenixes, and dragons, a total of 12 kinds of pile methods.

Each pile method is divided into dynamic and static exercises, with a total of 24 practice methods. Xiao Nannan practiced the kinetic power in the crane-shaped pile.

After practicing these 24 piles, you can exercise the muscles, blood vessels, bones and viscera of the whole body. Until the muscles are refined like iron, the blood is refined like mercury, the bones are refined like jade, and the intestines are refined like thunder, it is the acquired perfection and the quenching of the body is complete.

"Anan, tomorrow will be the enlightenment of the witch path, you have to fight for your mother. ”

Lanxi served a bowl of thick soup, and the meat was fragrant. She beckoned to Xiao Nan, "Come on, come on, my mother stewed a bowl of tiger bone soup for you." Come and drink it, replenish your body, and behave well tomorrow. ”

"I know my mother!"

Xiao Nan trotted over, smiled and drank the soup, but muttered to himself, "A bunch of little kids." I have been human beings in two lives, and in terms of talent and talent, I can't compare to them!"

Although he thought so in his heart, he was a little bottomless. He looked up at the mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but think of the words of the cheap master when he touched his muscles and bones.

"Well, the meridians are just formed, the root bones are general, the congenital occlusion, the five elements are incomplete, the bones are not stable, and the cultivation is still early. ”

"Xiao family doll, I see that you are not cultivation material! Lao Tzu advises you, or put out your thoughts, be honest, safe and steady, and make a living in Nanli in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Learn more knowledge, but if you have a skill, you can naturally take good care of your mother, and don't be clever in the future, don't live up to the hard work of the drunken man Xiao Jiu!"

Don't...... I really don't have the material for cultivation? He clenched his fists and looked at his mother with a resolute gaze.

Relying on knowledge and skills, you can't survive in this cruel world where the law of the jungle eats the strong.

"No matter how difficult it is, I must practice!"

......

During this year, Xiao Jiu did not come back.

When it comes to the events at that time, the people of the Nanli tribe only remember that the Fengming Festival was one day earlier than in previous years. After a little surprise, they threw themselves into the carnival of the festival.

Although the high-level officials of the Nanli Hall were puzzled, after sending several people to investigate but found nothing, they also stopped investigating and no longer pursued it.

The Nanli tribe spends the year in a peaceful and serene atmosphere. In a blink of an eye, Xiao Nan was three years old. At the age of three, according to the customs of the Nanli tribe, it is necessary to carry out the initiation of witchcraft.

The so-called witchcraft enlightenment is to evaluate the children's qualifications, judge whether they are suitable for witch cultivation, and then conduct enlightenment training for gifted children to cultivate witchcraft.

"Ye Xiaowu, Lao Tzu bets that the Xiao family's doll will definitely not be able to break the stone hammer today!"

A young man with disheveled hair reclined at the door of the wrought iron mill, with a stalk of grass in his mouth, spoke slowly.

His name is Xiao Liuzi, and he is a well-known gangster in Nanli, who is idle all day long, mostly in gambling houses and black market gangsters.

"If you lose the bet this time, the handicap of the gambling house at night will be counted on Lao Tzu's head. However, if Lao Tzu is lucky to win...... How about writing off the debts owed the day before yesterday? Ye Xiaowu, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"Hey, Xiao Liuzi, are you really a fool to me Ye Xiaowu?" The thin black young man opposite him spread his hands, looking like "I'm an idiot", hehe sneered.

"The stone hammer in front of the wrought iron workshop is less than 1,200 catties, even if it is pushed and broken from the side, it is not a three-year-old doll can do it, so gambling with you is not a sure deal!"

Xiao Nan stood in front of the stone hammer and looked carefully, ignoring the two "fools" beside him. He stood on tiptoe to compare the height of the stone hammer, and his small figure seemed insignificant in front of the tall stone hammer.

This stone hammer is afraid to be four feet long, about 1.3 meters in the previous life, the whole body is polished with unknown stone, the surface is rough, full of edges and corners, with a kind of hideous.

He looked at it for a moment, then reached out and touched it on the stone hammer. It's a little cool to start with, and the uneven surface is more like some kind of quaint pattern.

"Within three years, that is, before the age of five, it is really difficult to lift such a giant hammer!" Xiao Nan looked up at the handle of the hammer and sighed.

However, the cheap master has already said that he must raise the stone hammer within three years before he can accept himself as an apprentice. Such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it can't be argued!

However, how can there be any good things in this world that can be obtained without hard work and at your fingertips, and you must pay hard work and sweat to achieve the harvest. ”

He took a long breath, grabbed the handle of the hammer, and pushed it hard. Sure enough, it was the same as when I tried it for the first time half a year ago, and it was the same as every attempt in the past six months.

The stone hammer does not move.

"Hahaha-haha-ha-" A burst of arrogant mockery came. Xiao Nan followed the sound and saw that it was a group of children of about the same age.

The leader was a sturdy and tall man, wearing an expensive tiger skin jacket, and was pointing at himself and laughing. A group of children around them laughed and laughed, and they all looked at them with mocking expressions.

"Hahaha, I heard from my mother the day before yesterday that an ant actually tried to knock down a towering tree, but was exhausted to death. ”

"This story tells us to measure our own abilities, and not to be too ambitious and overestimated. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I finally understand it and see it with my own eyes!"

The tall child spittled and proudly showed off to the others, pointing at Xiao Nan and laughing: "You say, does he look like that ant?"

"Like!" replied a group of children in unison.

"Brother Tiger, I don't think it's just like it, you look at his thin appearance, it's clearly a little ant!

A snarky voice sounded, it was the cockscomb-headed boy standing behind the tall child, he pointed at Xiao Nan and laughed wildly, looking like only the tall child was looking at the horse.

"Childish!" Xiao Nan snorted. As an adult, he really can't afford to fight with a group of three-year-olds. He wiped his hands and turned to leave.

"Wait! Okay, you arrogant little ant! You dare to ignore us! Do you know who I am, do you know who our tiger brother is?"

The cockscomb child felt disgraced and rushed up unrelentingly.

"Oh, who are you?" Xiao Nan looked at him calmly, his eyes like he was watching a big horse monkey performing.

"Tell you! My name is Wang Shi, and my father is the deputy leader of Nanli's guards, the Purple Sword Wang Man!

The cockscomb child pointed at Xiao Nan with an arrogant face.

"Tell you, our Tiger Brother is even more powerful! Do you know the commander of the hunting team, and I will scare you to death if I say it!"
