Chapter 27: The First Examination
In the spring season, flowers bloom and trees are shady.
Early morning.
Facing the cool breeze, Zhang Yi was wearing sportswear, and after washing, he walked out of the room.
He didn't sleep until he woke up naturally, but was awakened by the sound of "hum" in the backyard, even though it was not yet dawn, but after he stepped out of the door, he saw the tavern guys Li Daqiang and Liu Xinzhong, who were already practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
The flowing martial arts moves made Zhang Yi's eyes shine.
Routine!
A form of martial arts movement, which refers to the compilation of a set of martial arts moves.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang is willing to get up? This girl has run around Shiba Town twice, you lazy pig...... The strength of a blind body is not a material for martial arts training at all. ”
Yao Tiantian, who was wearing a white tracksuit, walked in from the outside with a sweat, and when she saw Zhang Yi, she immediately handed him a big white eye, and couldn't help but sarcastically.
Two laps?
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then a little embarrassment appeared on his handsome face, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to get up so early, I promise to get up early in the future and train with you." ”
Yao Tianxiao's figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, with a bit of color in his eyes, and said slowly: "You don't have to train with them, they have a foundation in martial arts, and you don't, so I will train you specially." Come with me! ”
Zhang Yi nodded lightly, followed Yao Tianxiao, who turned around and walked outside, and left the tavern.
Yao Tiantian grabbed the pink towel at the pink neck, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and followed away with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
Walk through the streets.
Amid the shouts of the vendors and the noise of the crowd, the three of them came to a sparsely populated forest in the northernmost part of Shiba Town.
In the courtyard with red walls, there are two lifelike stone lions at the door.
Yao Tiantian looked at Yao Tianxiao with a look of confusion in her eyes, and asked with curiosity on her face, "Grandpa, what kind of place is this?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
Yao Tianxiao glanced at his granddaughter and said with a light smile: "You haven't been to many places with me." ”
Walking on crutches, he came to the vermilion iron gate, Yao Tianxiao took out the key, opened the door, and walked inside.
In the large courtyard, there is a wooden frame full of sandbags on the left, and hundreds of wooden stakes nearly two meters high on the right.
And outside the door of the main house, two futons are placed.
What attracted the attention of Zhang Yi and Yao Tiantian the most was that there were neat weapon racks on both sides of the futon, and on the shelves, there were all kinds of cold weapons.
The sun is rising.
The morning sun shone on the earth, sprinkled on this cold weapon that exuded a cold chill, and the dazzling light reflected that people did not dare to look at it directly.
Yao Tianxiao stopped in front of the weapon rack, turned around and said, "Zhang Yi, what I am going to teach you is not ordinary martial arts, but to teach you the real ancient martial arts cultivation method. Before that, though, I need to test your physical flexibility, conscious reflexes, and willpower. ”
"How to test?"
Zhang Yi asked subconsciously.
Yao Tianxiao said: "First of all, I'll do a few movements, and then you do it for me to see." ”
The crutches in his hand came out in an instant, his rickety body straightened up for a moment, his steps moved at a strange frequency, and his body showed various difficult movements.
Twisting, sideways, rolling, jumping......
The strange change in body shape made Zhang Yi dumbfounded and extremely shocked.
"Zhang Yi, you can do it again and show me." Yao Tianxiao stopped moving, and when his body returned to a hunchback appearance, and the crutches flew upside down into his hand out of thin air, he said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment, then walked in front of Yao Tianxiao.
His eyes slowly closed, and the scene of Yao Tianxiao doing difficult movements just now came to mind. It's like a replay of history, and any movement, whether it's the movement of footsteps, the twisting of the waist, or the changes in the limbs, is clear and clear.
This moment.
Even he didn't realize that his memory would be so good.
The heart moves at will.
His whole body has fallen into a state of emptiness, his body twists with the shadow in his mind, his arms are open, and his upper body has been twisted to the back while his knees are facing forward, and when his waist is bent, the rollover is instantly shown by him.
"Good, good!"
Yao Tianxiao quietly watched a series of difficult actions made by Zhang Yi, and couldn't help but secretly applaud in his heart.
He knew that Zhang Yi's physical strength was very strong, but he didn't expect that the flexibility of his body would reach such a terrifying level, even compared to him, it was not much better.
"Very good body flexibility, good overall coordination." As Zhang Yi's movements ended, Yao Tianxiao nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
His arm slowly raised, pointed to the place where the sandbags were hanging, and said, "Go inside, I will control the sandbag movement outside, if you can hold on inside for half a minute without being hit, you will be considered qualified." ”
Zhang Yi smiled: "Try it now." ”
When he stood in the middle of the sandbag, Yao Tianxiao's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and an afterimage continued to rotate around the shelf, and a "crackling" sound sounded.
The sound of crutches thumping sandbags rang out.
Like the wind blowing wheat waves, hundreds of sandbags began to move, among which more than a dozen sandbags surrounded Zhang Yi and hit Zhang Yi accurately.
Five seconds later.
"Bang ......"
Zhang Yi's back was hit, and as his body staggered, other sandbags suddenly came one after another, constantly hitting his body.
A few seconds later, Zhang Yi had been knocked to the ground.
"Haha...... It only lasted five or six seconds, which is a shame. Yao Tiantian pointed to Zhang Yi's embarrassed appearance lying on the ground, and smiled back and forth.
As the sandbag shaking stopped, Zhang Yi stood up with a wry smile on his face, and after walking out, he looked at Yao Tianxiao and said with a wry smile: "Senior Yao, this is too difficult, the speed of the sandbag attack is too fast, and there are too many of them, it is difficult to dodge." ”
Yao Tianxiao said, "Tiantian, you go in." ”
Yao Tiantian gave Zhang Yi a playful look, and then strode into the sandbag group.
As Yao Tianxiao controlled the rapid movement of the sandbags, Yao Tiantian's face was calm, and her steps kept dodging and moving, and half a minute later, when all the sandbags stopped shaking, she walked out with a proud face, looked at Zhang Yi and said triumphantly: "See?" This girl's reflexes are much stronger than yours. ”
Zhang Yi gave Yao Tiantian a thumbs up and exclaimed, "It's amazing." ”
Yao Tianxiao said: "Zhang Yi, every day in the future, I will let you exercise your reflexes in it, when you can walk on the ground inside, come and go freely, and persist for more than three minutes, it is considered qualified." ”
Zhang Yi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, listen to Senior Yao." ”
Yao Tianxiao nodded slowly, and after taking Zhang Yi to the wooden stake, he said: "You pick four wooden stakes, lie on them, I put a fifty-kilogram sandbag on your back, you have to hold on for two hours, this is the best way to test your willpower." Also, work on your arm strength and leg strength. ”
Zhang Yi looked stunned and wondered: "I don't have anything to hold under my waist?" ”
Yao Tianxiao shook his head and said, "No." ”
Zhang Yi nodded silently, then climbed onto a wooden stake, and as his body bent up, his hands quickly pressed on the other two wooden stakes nearly two meters away. With his feet apart, Zhang Yi put his other foot on the other stake.
"Tiantian, there is a hundred-pound sandbag over there, put it on his waist."
Yao Tianxiao said in a deep voice.
"Okay!"
Yao Tiantian showed a sly smile to Zhang Yi, who turned his face sideways, and then moved over a hundred-pound sandbag and put it on Zhang Yi's waist.
Time passed little by little.
At first, Zhang Yi was full of strength, and he was able to hold on easily.
But as ten minutes passed, he felt the force of his body falling more and more, and his arms faintly smelled sore.
Half an hour later, he felt a swelling and sore taste in his arms, and even his legs had begun to be sore and weak.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down the bridge of his nose, and sweat flowed into his eyes.
"Do you want to use the vitality liquid in the dantian? If you don't use it, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long. ”
"No...... If a vitalized fluid is used, the accuracy of the test is lost. ”
"I need to know the most real condition of my body, this is the most accurate test of my willpower......"
"Persistence, I believe I can last longer."
"Stick to ......"
“……”
In the blink of an eye, an hour and a half has passed.
Zhang Yi, who was lying on the stake, trembled slightly with his arms and legs, and his waist was pressed below the top of the stake by a hundred-pound sandbag.
With the hard support, Zhang Yi's face has become pale, his eyes are also full of bloodshots, and there are faint traces of blood oozing from his clenched teeth.
"Stick to ......"
There was only one sentence left in his mind.
Every second, he felt like a century had passed.
Two hours later.
"Bang ......"
Zhang Yi's body finally fell from the stake with his arm weakened, and the hundred-pound sandbag smashed on him, his numb and sore body was stunned and didn't feel anything.
Yao Tianxiao walked in front of Zhang Yi, shook his head and sighed: "With your physical strength and strength, it is not bad to hold on for two hours, but it still disappoints me." Two hours is your limit, but if you can break it, I'm afraid you can hold on for ten more minutes. ”
Zhang Yi squirmed his lower lip and nodded gloomily on the ground.
Yao Tianxiao smiled lightly: "Don't be discouraged, this is your first time, maybe you can hold on for three days and three nights under the pressure of a thousand-pound item in the future." Okay, it's already noon, you don't have to go to the old devil's hospital this afternoon, go back and wash, rest, and in the evening, I will teach you the cultivation exercises. ”
Cultivating exercises?
Zhang Yi's heart moved slightly, he had cultivated the "Rejuvenation Technique", if he practiced the two exercises at the same time, there would be no conflict, right?
