In the depths of winter, the northern country is cold and windy, and the exhalation turns into ice. On the lakeside of a county town in H province, a goose stone path bends, runs around the lake, the lakeside is in groups of three or two, the old and young people who exercise in the morning stretch their hands and feet, face the cold wind, and train their muscles and bones.

The county seat is not big, and it is only a drop in the ocean in the thousands of territories in China, but the people of the city are still martial, and it has been since ancient times. Thousands of years of habits have been inherited, folk recklessness, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and master martial artists. Compared with the national court, everyone admires gold, drunk and luxurious, and this place is also the only remaining pure land.

Not far from the lake, is the largest high school in the county, and half of the Thai students gather here. The school is quite large, covering an area of 1,000 acres, and the flow of people is mixed, although there are many elites, there are also many gangsters and ruffians.

Jingle bells, the ringing of bells in the corridors, through the loudspeakers, spread everywhere. It's a quarter past six, school morning reading time.

Somewhere in the school, weeds are overgrown, ancient trees are towering, several hundred-year-old pines pierce the sky, and the lush needles are covered with snow, which makes the dawn even more cold. Therefore, according to legend, these eight ancient pines were planted in the Ming Dynasty during the Chenghua period, has a history of hundreds of years, the grandmaster of the Republic of China Sun Jinwei had sat under the tree for three years, realized the stele boxing method, famous in the three provinces. To this day, the descendants of the Sun family still live in the county, and the stele boxing method has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has never declined.

On the north side of the pine tree, a wall is towering, almost two meters, the blue brick is cast, the wall is painted with white ash, the top is embedded with an iron drill, the top of the drill is sharp, and it is cold to look at.

The school implements semi-closed management, and idle students are not allowed to go out lightly. In order to prevent stubborn teenagers from skipping class and mixing in class, they spent a lot of money to build this high wall, and on the day the wall was built, Waner students were trapped in the wall, except for holiday celebrations, they had no chance to go out.

At this moment, a figure flashed at the bottom of the tree, and a young man dressed in white rushed to the wall. The young man's feet were swift, one step and a half meters, and he rushed to the bottom of the wall from a hundred meters away, but he didn't take a few breaths. The sun is shining, the young man's face is distinct, the height of one meter seventy-five is definitely not a cow or a horse among the northerners, but the limbs are well-proportioned, the bones are strong, one cell and one joint are swollen and full, full of strength, at this moment, after a fast run, the face is not red and the heart is not beating, and the breathing is slow and even.

The boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing only one sportswear, and the white coat blended in with the snow. The cold wind blew his short hair, the young man was indifferent, and the scorching cold wind was biting, for him, it was just idle and did not hurt his body.

The young man came to the wall, stretched out his palm, lightly put it on the wall, jumped up with the force, kicked the soles of his feet again, and was already on the high wall, and then jumped down, his hands and feet were skillful, and it seemed that he had practiced thousands of times.

Down-to-earth, take a breath of fresh air, and the teenager's chest is happy. Not far away, the lake is rippling, and two boatmen are fishing with iron forks, cooperating with each other, one rocking the boat and the other holding the fork. The rocker ** upper body, the iron oars break through the ice, the arms wave, and the boat flies. The fork bearer looked focused, staring at the lake for a moment, the iron fork in his hand was raised, and the lake water rolled down, and a big fish of seven or eight catties was forked, drenched in blood, and he took it off and threw it into the boat.

The young man looked at the two of them and nodded secretly: "Good guys, they are all masters!" The divine power of rocking the boat is amazing, and he has obviously practiced kung fu such as the Divine Arm Skill; The eyes of the fork are like electricity, the qigong has been quite hot, the boat is fast and steady like Mount Tai, and the next plate is also solid. It's just that fishing is forbidden in the lake, and these two people are blatant, why doesn't anyone care about him? ”

According to the boy's conjecture, Ripple Lake is public property, under the jurisdiction of the county government, and fishing is strictly prohibited in law. These two people have been poaching for a long time, not a day, someone should have reported it earlier, why no one accepted it? Could it be that the public security bureau and the police station are all idle meals? The only explanation is that the two are prominent, back. Jing is also an ordinary fisherman, even if someone wants to manage it, he can't manage it, he can't manage it.

Shaking his head, ignoring the two of them, the young man walked quickly and went straight to the pavilion in the west of the lake. The pavilion is built according to the lake, small and exquisite, there is a stone table in the pavilion, a chessboard, and nothing else.

An old man at the table, black hair like an arrow, beard like a needle, black palm as big as a grinding plate, when he saw the young man enter the pavilion, the palm of his hand poked out, grabbed the young man's shoulder, the young man remained silent, let the old man's arm on it, the shoulder sank and unloaded, the force has been removed, the cloud is light and the wind is light, not stained with fireworks.

The old man smiled slightly: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I have grown again!" ”

The young man smiled: "It's easy to say, I practiced hard day and night, and finally cultivated the chalcedony to the second layer, and it lived up to expectations." ”

The old man nodded: "Young and arrogant, don't be too happy." Chalcedony nine turns, you have only practiced to the second layer, the future is thorny, and there is still a long way to go. Remember, chalcedony turns nine times, nine transformation dragons, less than the peak of the ninth layer, vainly claiming to be dominant. ”

The young man stared and thought, "Master, according to your meaning, the chalcedony gong is divided into nine layers, but since the apprentice practiced three years ago, he practiced day and night, sleeping less and doing more, and he really didn't suffer less, and he just stepped into the second layer the day before yesterday." The chalcedony skill is difficult to be like a layer, and if you go on like this, your temples will be white, and you will not be able to finish it. ”

The old man snorted, "What do you know, the more difficult it is, the more precious this skill is." Do you practice martial arts to eat and drink soup, relaxed and freehand? If you don't suffer very hard, it's hard to be a master. ”

The young man smiled and said: "Master, it's not that the apprentice is afraid of hardship, but that he is afraid of limited qualifications, and if he can't practice martial arts, he will ruin your old reputation." ”

The old man said angrily: "You are a disciple I personally screened, and you have gone through many tests, how can you be idle?" You say that you are not qualified, are you questioning the vision of a teacher? ”

The young man smiled: "How dare you, how dare you." Master, I will discuss something with you, in half a year, it will be the college entrance examination, and the school will be strictly controlled, so I am afraid that I will not have a chance to come out again in the future. ”

The old man asked, "What do you say?" ”

The young man said: "Recently, the apprentices have skipped too many classes, which has attracted attention. After repeated orders to teach, I found out that I was absent from class and was dismissed directly. Although it is harmless to read or not to read this bird book, there are parents in the family, and even if the apprentice is not good, he can't make his parents feel cold. So, I was forced to be helpless, so I had to bite the bullet and sit on the cold bench for half a year. ”

The old man expressed his understanding: "It's okay, I have passed on all the chalcedony exercises to you, and the road ahead depends on personal practice." The key to practicing and practicing is to practice words, sitting, lying down, and stopping, exhaling and breathing, all of which are exercises, but they have nothing to do with leaving school. Anyway, wait for me to pass on the last three moves of your monument-breaking boxing method, the fate of master and apprentice, and it's all here. In the future, when you step into the third floor, you can come to Yunting Villa to find me. After finishing the words, he opened the posture, performed the three-style boxing method, the fist stopped the work, suddenly came to the interest, walked out of the pavilion, split out with a fist, and hit a boulder in the middle, and the fist fell into the stone crack, all for dust.

The young man was speechless, "Master, good boxing skills, fist strength and stone crushing, how powerful is this?" ”

The old man said lightly: "It's nothing, but half a ton of strength." ”

The young man shouted, "Half a ton, isn't it a thousand catties?" I used to read novels where martial arts masters punched and killed bulls, and in my opinion, that's it. ”

The old man smiled: "What is the fist arm bull worth? This world is big, there are many masters, and there are many capable people. I can't understand it when I tell you now, but when you succeed in martial arts in the future, step into the red dust, and get in touch with it yourself, you will understand. Okay, I've demonstrated the martial arts, how much can I learn, do what I can. It's not too early, so I went for the teacher. He didn't even glance at the young man, turned around and left, a few ups and downs, and disappeared.
