"Now, I'll tell you the correct attack stance." Mu Liubing's expression was solemn, his expression was stern, and he said meticulously: "The right arm is drooping, the right hand holds the knife, and it is placed on the outside of the right leg, and the left arm and palm should be in a posture of letting go or blocking the attack, so as to create cover conditions for the right hand to slash and stab." ”

"You can also use your left hand to shake around in front of the enemy's eyes, or throw something at the opponent, or suddenly feign an attack to distract the enemy and make a decisive sword." Mu Liubing kept gesturing as he spoke, demonstrating for Dou Zhanlong.

Dou Zhanlong's eyes widened, concentrating, and tentatively rehearsing.

"There's one last one thing to pay special attention to." Mu Liubing cleared his throat, looked at Dou Zhanlong's movements, nodded again and again, and continued: "When holding the knife, always keep your knees slightly bent. First, it is easier to move and balance, and second, it is necessary to hide the knife in your hand behind your legs when your opponent stabs you in the ribs or throat. ”

Dou Zhanlong comprehended, kept changing his posture, and mastered the essentials of knife skills.

Mu Liubing breathed a long sigh of relief, patted Dou Zhanlong's shoulder, and said, "Attacking with a short knife, you must also accurately grasp the parts of the frontal attack and the negative attack. ”

"Say, I'll listen!" Dou Zhanlong was full of enthusiasm and interest, and he looked at Mu Liubing intently and said.

"The parts of the frontal attack are, throat, abdomen, heart, wrist, forearm and leg." Mu Liubing said sonorously without pause: "The parts of the reverse attack are, the left and right kidneys, the major cervical artery, the throat, the subclavian artery, and the fifth vertebra below the apotic spine. ”

Mu Liubing said as he stretched out his short knife and practiced on Dou Zhanlong's body.

Dou Zhanlong pursed his lips, felt a lot, and said with a more solemn face: "I probably understand that the key to the finger knife lies in two points, one is that the attack method should be ever-changing, and the other is to conceal the motive to avoid revealing the direction of the attack. ”

Mu Liubing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly brightened, and said with admiration: "Your kid's understanding is indeed very high!" ”

"Prize!" Dou Zhanlong's face was humble, his eyes looked at Mu Liubing with deep meaning, and he said with a heavy breath: "Thank you seniors for your selfless guidance." ”

"I'm optimistic about you kid!" Mu Liubing sighed slightly, his face was a little hesitant, his eyes were full of sadness, and he said, "I'm old, and I don't have the strength to protect and use the power of the finger knife. ”

"Don't say that!" Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath and said with a solemn look in his eyes: "Good things will not disappear, they can only become deeper with the precipitation of time." ”

"It's rare that you have a talent for this!" Mu Liubing looked at Dou Zhanlong with a look of relief, and said, "If you want to practice superb sword skills, you also need the cooperation of hard qigong." ”

Dou Zhanlong can also be regarded as a martial idiot, but when he heard about the hard qigong, his spirit doubled, and he said eagerly: "Senior, it is really hidden!" ”

"It's time to let go!" Mu Liubing's tone was low, and he said in a somewhat depressed voice: "Your kid has good qualifications, you have to study hard." ”

"I promise, I'll do my best." Dou Zhanlong raised his head and swore solemnly.

He remembered the power of the finger knife, and couldn't wait to learn some hard qigong, so he looked at Mu Liubing with an anxious expression, looking like he was gearing up.

Mu Liubing's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Dou Zhanlong with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!" ”

"What do you mean?" Dou Zhanlong's heart full of hope fell down suddenly, looked at Mu Liubing suspiciously, and said with some disgust: "Could it be that the seniors are playing with me?" ”

"Actually, you've already practiced hard qigong!" Mu Liubing's face was calm, and he said in a calm voice.

"When will I do hard qigong?" Dou Zhanlong's eyes rolled, he thought for a long time, his eyes were blank, and he said, "Senior, don't sell it to me, okay?" ”

"Do you remember when you were unconscious, I told you to breathe deep and slowly?" Mu Liubing's face was weird, and he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Then adapt to hard qigong." ”

Dou Zhanlong's eyes were shocked, he frowned incredulously, and said in frustration: "Why don't I feel anything at all?" ”

"Hahaha!" Mu Liubing looked at Dou Zhanlong's stupid appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Fool! The cultivation method of hard qigong is very simple, but if you want to stimulate energy, it is not a simple matter. ”

"What do you mean by senior?" Dou Zhanlong tilted his head, looked at Mu Liubing with curiosity on his face, and said, "What is the method of hard qigong to stimulate power?" ”

Mu Liubing's eyes were deep, and he said in a strange voice: "The stimulation method is a very painful process!" ”

Dou Zhanlong looked at Mu Liubing pretending to be mysterious, with a stern look, and couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, looking at Mu Liubing in fear, unable to speak for a long time.

"If you're scared, there's still room to maneuver." Mu Liubing lowered his voice, a look of contempt appeared on his face, and said, "You give me the answer." ”

Dou Zhanlong recalled the scenes of chopping wood, practicing knives, and starving, and hesitated in his heart, and couldn't make a decision for a long time.

But when he thought of Zhu Qian'er and Snow Lotus, Dou Zhanlong's spirit doubled, and he swore to Mu Liubing: "As long as my predecessors are willing to help me find Snow Lotus, I am willing to do anything." ”

Suddenly, Mu Liubing took out an arm-thick iron rod, waved it in front of Dou Zhanlong, and said: "If you want to stimulate the power of hard qigong, there is only one way, and that is to fight in a row, and constantly attack all parts of the body through guò, forcing out the warm current in the body, so that you can master hard qigong proficiently and mobilize energy at any time." ”

Dou Zhanlong looked at the big iron rod with panicked eyes, his face was embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, raised his head firmly, and said, "Okay, I'm willing." ”

Although he hesitated, he clearly knew the truth that only by suffering hardship can he become a master. The pain in the body is temporary, and if you give up rashly, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

"Then I'm coming!" Mu Liubing's eyes were shocked, the power of the iron rod was unimaginable, and it was not something that anyone could withstand at all.

Mu Liubing held the iron rod with both hands, his legs were slightly separated, he picked up his arms, and fell suddenly, hitting Dou Zhanlong's back hard, making a dull sound of "bang".

Dou Zhanlong's brows were furrowed, there was a feeling of Mount Tai pressing on the top, his body was heavy, he couldn't move, and the pain of drilling his heart rushed into his heart, which was unbearable.

With another dull sound of "bang", Mu Liubing slammed his backhand stick and landed directly on Dou Zhanlong's abdomen.

"Poof", Dou Zhanlong spat blood from his mouth, his face was ugly, his body trembled, and he was about to fall to the ground at any time.

"Can you hold on?" Mu Liubing hesitated, looked at Dou Zhanlong with a worried face, and said in a soft voice: "If we can't bear it, we can temporarily interrupt." ”

"No!" Dou Zhanlong took a deep breath, looked at Mu Liubing with firm eyes, and said stubbornly: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, I can hold on." ”

"Okay." Mu Liubing frowned, waved the iron rod again, used all his strength, slapped the back of Dou Zhanlong's neck heavily, and said: "When the iron rod has intimate contact with the body, you have to find ways to stimulate the power of hard qigong, force out the warm current in your body, and turn it into a protective barrier to protect your body." ”

Dou Zhanlong opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath, pursed his lips, closed his eyes, and was ready to be beaten at any time.

"Bang bang bang!" With a dull sound, Dou Zhanlong's forehead was sweating, his face was pale, and a pair of huge hands were clenched into tight fists, resisting the heavy iron rod to the death.

Dou Zhanlong changed his breath again and again, sometimes taking a deep breath, sometimes taking a long breath of relief, clenching his teeth, and truly feeling the huge energy of the iron rod.

Mu Liubing's expression was solemn, his forehead was sweating, his eyes looked at Dou Zhanlong with concern, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Can you still hold on?" We can rest for a while. ”

Mu Liubing looked at the time, it had been three hours in a row, even if it was a god, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

As soon as the words fell, Dou Zhanlong's eyes turned black, his whole body was weak, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"Now start using the mantra of hard qigong!" Mu Liubing threw away the iron rod, picked up Dou Zhanlong, and said in an eager voice: "Don't interrupt your breathing rate." ”

Dou Zhanlong had a feeling of skin opening all over his body, endured the severe pain, inhaled again, exhaled, and "swooped" a huge warm current, embraced into the lower abdomen, and quickly spread to the limbs.

It turns out that the breathing method of hard qigong can only stimulate warm currents when the body is extremely tired.

Mu Liubing's eyes froze, he dragged Dou Zhanlong's arm with both hands, dragged him straight into the house, threw it into a large round barrel, and quickly stripped off his clothes.

After the warm current, Dou Zhanlong was confused, his body was tired, and he entered a deep sleep.

"Get some good sleep." Mu Liubing said as he sprinkled the herbs into the barrel, "Now is the time to take a big nap. ”

Dou Zhanlong's eyes were closed, his head was slightly sideways, hanging to the side, his face gradually turned bloody, and he snorted from time to time.

Soon, a day and a night passed, Dou Zhanlong slowly opened his eyes, looked around, looked down and found himself naked, and shouted loudly: "Senior, senior, where are you?" ”

Mu Liubing walked in from the outside unhurriedly, with gray hair and a rickety figure, and said, "It's early in the morning, what are you shouting?" ”

"Senior, why is your hair all gray?" Dou Zhanlong's eyes were stunned, his eyes were shocked, and his voice squeaked and said, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"One day and one night!" Mu Liubing instantly aged a lot, his face was wrinkled, his face was haggard, and he said in a hoarse and weak voice.

"So long?" Dou Zhanlong's face changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, quickly covered the important parts, his voice was eager, and he said with a panicked face: "Why don't you wake me up?" I've got to get to the Snow Lotus! ”

Mu Liubing leaned over, walked to Dou Zhanlong's side, and said with a solemn face: "Don't worry, the snow lotus hasn't opened yet!" ”

Dou Zhanlong retreated into the barrel in disbelief, looked at Mu Liubing with puzzled eyes, and asked with concern: "Senior, how did you become so old all of a sudden?" ”

"Huh!" Mu Liubing said disapprerovingly: "This is what I should be." ”

"You mean your age?" Dou Zhanlong's mind was confused, his sentences were confused, and he didn't know how to express his meaning.

"I'm almost eighty years old!" Mu Liubing coughed twice, and said with some emotion: "The previous appearance was all maintained with the qi in the body, and now, the knife skills and qigong are taught to you, and I have nothing to regret." ”

Dou Zhanlong's eyes were slightly red, he sighed, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "Senior, thank you for your trust and help in me, but I must find the snow lotus and take it away." ”

"I know." Mu Liubing gasped and said in a hoarse voice: "The snow lotus will be open from three o'clock tonight to nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and you have time to prepare." ”

"What you say is true?" Dou Zhanlong's face was surprised, and he said incredulously.

"Kilowatt remember, the snow lotus must not fall into the hands of the Eastern Station." Mu Liubing's face was stern, and he said weakly: "Snow Lotus is the lifelong pursuit of Dongfang Station, and I will never give up willingly." However, a snow lotus can only save a person's life and maintain a person's appearance. ”

"Senior, is there any grudge between you and Dongfang Station?" Instinctively told Sù Dou Zhanlong that there was some kind of unknown relationship between Mu Liubing and Dongfang Station, and he was an extremely tall chess piece among them this time.

Mu Liubing sighed deeply, his face was melancholy, and his eyes fell into contemplation.
