Chapter 38: Apprenticeship

Kong Xi got the letter and immediately went back to start deploying speculation. At this time, there are already merchants in the market who have begun to grab shopping materials, ready to take advantage of this chaos. However, these things had nothing to do with Wang Mengxiong, he was taken by Du Xinwu to a courtyard full of magnolia and sycamore trees, and personally taught him the kung fu of the natural gate.

"The ancestor of our natural gate is surnamed Xu, because he is short, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him a short master. However, outsiders don't know the real name of Master Zu, so it's understandable to call him so. Since you have entered my natural gate, you should know the real name of Master Zu. His name is Xu Wei, a native of Guizhou. ”

Wang Mengxiong listened to Du Xinwu's story about the origin of the natural gate like listening to a story. Finally, he said the key point, which made him prick up his ears, lest he miss something.

"My natural sect is not like other sects, practicing all kinds of routines. There are only two kinds of exercises, one is natural boxing, and the other is natural gong. What we pay attention to is the natural Taoism, and the dual cultivation of both inside and outside. ”

In two hours, Du Xinwu explained all the core exercises. In the end, I was afraid that Wang Mengxiong would be greedy and chew too much, so he focused on teaching Hercules first. This is the foundation building method of the natural gate, which is especially suitable for learning from scratch.

"The jack gate on the head, the straight neck must be pressed down. The eyebrows are raised and the teeth are tight, and the shoulders are flat and up. claw fist fork waist eye, crotch lift clamp crotch; Straighten your knees and ten, and prick your toes down. Drum your eyes and look ahead, stand with your chest and belly up. Pingping gathers Dan Qi, and succeeds and is lucky. ”

Du Xinwu recited the key to Hercules Gong again, and asked Wang Mengxiong to recite and practice several times, and only let him rest for a while after being word-for-word.

Wang Mengxiong recited the song while doing the entire exercise several times according to the master's shelf, he was already sweating profusely, and listened to Du Xinwu's grace to let him rest, and sat on the ground with a butt. Fortunately, in the July weather, the ground was hot, Du Xinwu sat on the wooden bench on the side, took out a cigarette pouch and pot from his arms, filled it with tobacco and lit it, and smoked it comfortably.

"Master, I want to ask you something. You said that if you practice according to this mantra, can you generate a golden pill and become an immortal? ”

Wang Mengxiong felt that this song recipe was Cheng Dan again, and it was also lucky, similar to what was recorded in the kind of immortal cultivation novels, so he couldn't help but ask.

Du Xinwu just took a puff of cigarette, and was asked by Wang Mengxiong, choking on his throat and coughing violently.

"You kid, you think beautifully! How can we do what the emperors of the past generations have not done? If he could really cultivate to become an immortal, Xu Wei Ancestor would not pass away. It's just to train your body and be stronger than ordinary people. You have a good foundation for this body, if you start practicing now, you will be able to achieve success in ten years. At that time, you can carry forward the natural gate for the master, and if you don't become an immortal, I won't have extravagant hopes! ”

Wang Mengxiong stuck out his tongue and felt that he had been poisoned by Xianxia novels. "There are no immortals in this world, but I still have the ability to practice honestly, and no matter what I do in the future, I will be of infinite use!"

After resting, Wang Mengxiong began to fiddle with his flying knife again. When Du Xinwu saw his flexible technique, he suddenly became interested and wanted to let the apprentice show his hand. Wang Mengxiong had the intention to show off in front of Du Xinwu, and he didn't shirk it, he stood up, aimed at a plane tree four or five meters away, waved his hand, and nailed the flying knife to the middle of the trunk.

"Master, how do you see my practice with this flying knife?"

Wang Mengxiong stepped forward to retrieve the flying knife, and said happily, waiting for Du Xinwu's praise. How do you know that Du Xinwuyi pouted and gave him a roll of his eyes.

"At this level, don't say that the flying knife was taught by me, it's not shameful enough!"

"Hey, master. What's wrong with my level? It's worse than Boss Gu in Gu's class, and others are not as good as me! ”

After Wang Mengxiong finished speaking, he suddenly woke up to the meaning of Du Xin's five words, and asked with wide eyes: "Master, listen to your tone, could it be that you can also use this flying knife skill?" ”

Du Xinwu shook his head.

"Then you still don't like my ability? Master, you can't praise me, so that the apprentice can be happy! ”

The cigarette pouch and pot in Du Xinwu's hand instantly tapped on Wang Mengxiong's head, making him cover his head with a groan.

"Master, if you beat like this, you will beat the apprentice stupid!"

Du Xinwu looked at Wang Mengxiong's grinning appearance, and scolded with a smile: "Little villain, don't pretend." How hard the master has used, he knows how ruthless he is, at most it hurts, he won't beat you stupidly! ”

Wang Mengxiong smiled and took his hand away from his head. Du Xinwu pointed to the bench beside him and motioned for him to sit down, then picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it, and then raised his hand. The stone made a whistling sound of the wind, and it was in the middle of the tree where Wang Mengxiong's flying knife had just been inserted, and it was squarely embedded in the middle of the tree.

Wang Mengxiong stood up suddenly, unable to believe what was in front of him. Although this stone and the throwing knife hit the same place, the difficulty in this part is much more severe than that of using a throwing knife. Know that throwing knives have sharp edges, and you can do this with a little bit of force after aiming. But that stone is just an ordinary stone that the master picked up from the ground, and it can achieve the same effect as a flying knife, how much strength is this?

"Master, you are amazing! I didn't expect that in addition to boxing, your ability to throw stones is also so powerful! ”

Du Xinwu was very satisfied with the effect caused, and was finally able to hit this little apprentice.

"What throwing stones, this is called flying locust stones, is a skill I learned in my early years. It's just that I haven't practiced it for many years, and this skill is a little rusty. If it had been a few years earlier, the stone could have sunk deeper! ”

"Master, this is good, I have to learn this skill!"

Du Xinwu looked at Wang Mengxiong, who was suppressed, and was very satisfied with his thirsty attitude. "No problem, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you all the skills. But I'm not afraid that you will be distracted, or after you have practiced Hercules, I will teach you the same! Now that you are almost rested, hurry up and review the Hercules Gong twice, there is something unclear, just ask, the master will never hide his selfishness! ”

In the next few days, Wang Mengxiong and Gu Banzhu took leave and moved to live with Du Xinwu. Although his body is small, his mind is already an adult. Serving tea and pouring water, shouting for warmth, tongue blooming lotus, serving Du Xinwu happily all day long, teaching each other, and soon emptied his skills. After Du Xinwu confirmed it several times and knew that this little apprentice really remembered, he resigned to Mr. Sun and Mrs. Song Qing and went back to Beijing.

Wang Mengxiong was a little reluctant and kept holding his hand. "Master, didn't you say you would stay a few more days? Why are you leaving so soon? ”

Du Xinwu patted his little head and said lovingly, "Isn't this enough?" For your sake, I bothered Mr. Sun for a few more days. Now that you've learned everything, the rest will depend on the accumulation of time and hard work. Don't be a child, let Mr. and Mrs. laugh! ”

Although Mr. Sun didn't want Du Xinwu to go, he knew that he was a person who liked to move and not like to be quiet. To be able to stay here for five days is already an exception. "Shen Yuan, don't worry, I will arrange for your apprentice to go to school. Always performing in the circus, what can be done. I'm always open to you, and I'll come back whenever you want, where there will be a nuisance! ”
