"Why do you want to be like me? We boys are made of steel, and they are very hard! There is a difference between men and women, you better take care of yourself! Shaokang's tone was obviously concerned.

"Brother Shaokang, what do you mean by these words? Don't think I don't know, you're afraid that I'll learn the same kung fu as you and surpass you, aren't you? Nu Ai deliberately provoked Shaokang.

"I'm not!" Shaokang was really provoked, he sat up and hurriedly argued, "I see you sweating, I'm very distressed!" That's why my dad shortened your practice time! ”

"Brother Shaokang, do you feel sorry for me?" Nu Ai suddenly got up from the ground and said excitedly, "I'm so happy! ”

"Isn't it normal for my brother to feel sorry for my sister?" Shaokang's excitement for her was inexplicable.

"Stop fighting!" Ji Muxiu said, "Shaokang, Nu Ai wants to practice with you, then follow her wishes!" You grew up together, and you've been inseparable. What's more, Nu Ai's physique is also good, and she is a seedling who learns martial arts. Now, it's time for Shen, and after you pass the last hurdle, you can go out to graze! ”

"And the last level?" Shaokang and Nu Ai were suddenly deflated and collapsed on the ground.

"Come with me!" Ji Muxiu said, walking out of the cave. Shaokang and Nu Ai gritted their teeth and got up from the ground and went out with them.

A few zhang to the right outside the cave, there is a pit. After Shaokang and Nu Ai stood facing the pit, Ji Muxiu said:

"The pit is now two feet deep. If you can jump up from this pit, it means that the work of "three-element condensation" has been effective on this day. Practice every day, deepen a little bit every day, until you are a foot or two above your height. This kind of "jumping pit gong" is the best test of the 'three-element condensation'. After passing the level, you graze and hunt. If you don't pass the level, you just keep jumping until you jump! I won't accompany you at this level. Because the livestock of the family need to be fed, and some crops have to be harvested. Only let your mother and grandma do it, how can it be done? But Daddy believes in you! ”

After saying that, she left. Only Shaokang and Nu Ai were left, looking at each other and not knowing what to do.

"I'll come first!" Shaokang said, jumping into the pit.

Shaokang was in the pit, posing as a stake, and began to have luck. In his thoughts: Yuan Jing is like rain, Yuan Qi is like wisps of smoke, and Yuan Shen is like a veil of blur, hand in hand to break into his dantian. Shaokang only feels that there is infinite vitality in his body and is growing; and grow into power. He silently said in his heart: Give me confidence, give me courage, grow my strength, and jump up! As soon as he exerted his strength, he jumped out of the pit......

"Brother Shaokang! Hard! Nu Ai encouraged.

"Plop"! Shaokang jumped to the side, did not stand firm, and fell into the pit.

"Let's do it all over again! I didn't breathe in place just now! Shaokang was not discouraged and analyzed the reasons.

Shaokang continued to stand on the pile, inhaling like ten thousand steel ropes, and shaking his body with the force of ten thousand jun when exhaling, as if he wanted to break the steel lock. In his mind, the true qi condensed by the three elements is like a surging river, like an arrow off the string, like a horse unreined, like a tiger out of a mountain. At this time, his strength increased greatly, and he jumped vigorously. Fall steadily outside the pit.

"Brother Shaokang, you succeeded!" Nu Ai said happily, "I'm coming!" ”

Nu Ai jumped into the pit and posed as a stake. Shaokang Antun said:

"You inhale like you're wrapped in a rope, and when you exhale, you use a lot of force. Do what Daddy asks, and you will definitely be able to do it! ”

"Good!" Nu Ai agreed, and called for the 'Three-Element Condensation': I felt that the air flow was like a waterfall, pouring down from the upstream, hitting the rocks, splashing waves more than a foot high, surging. True qi poured into the female Ai Dantian. With all her might, Nu Ai jumped out of the pit and stood there steadily.

"Nu Ai! Attaboy! Shaokang sincerely praised.

"Brother Shaokang, then you are not allowed to let Daddy shorten my practice time in the future!" Nu Ai said.

"That's nature!" Shaokang smiled.

"Then let's graze!" Nu Ai also smiled.

"Good!" Shaokang agreed.

They looked at each other for a moment, and smiled knowingly.

……

After seven or eight days like this, one day after dinner, Shaokang said to the three elders:

"E-niang, Daddy, Grandma, I want to make some more wine."

"There are still some at home. Your daddy drinks, that's enough. Hou Mian said kindly.

"It's not for Daddy, it's for my brothers." Shaokang said seriously.

"They agreed that a month later, on the afternoon of the same day as their worship, they would burn incense and sacrifice wine in the old place." Nu Ai interjected.

"Kang'er, can they believe it? Once our tracks are exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Hiaki reminded him.

"Daddy, I have promised them, so I should keep my promise. And, I believe in them! "Shaokang is very confident.

"I believe in them, too, they're very righteous!" Nu Ai is helping again.

"However, you can tell them that your name is 'Still Shaokang'!" After the admonition.

"Eniang, I know!" Shaokang nodded. I thought: Listen to Eniang, that's right!

"Then grandma, let's soak the rice now!" Xu Er said kindly.

"Thank you, Grandma! Do I still have the rice wine koji I made before? Shaokang asked.

"Yes!" Xu'er said.

"That's good! Grandma. You soak the rice today, and I'll do it the day after tomorrow. Shaokang said.

"Kang'er! Rest assured! Xu'er agreed.

The day after tomorrow, after dinner, Shaokang entered the kitchen, and Nu Ai followed.

Shaokang took out a few grains of soaked rice. He twisted it with his hand and crushed it. Instructions are soaked. So he washed the soaked rice again, put it in a steamer covered with a drawer cloth, and said to Nu Ai:

"Nu Ai, burn the fire!"

"Okay!" Nu Ai began to burn the fire.

After steaming for half an hour, Shaokang put out the steamed rice and cooled it to a suitable temperature. He then poured the rice into a clean, oil-free basin with a lid and washed it away with a moderate amount of cool boiled water. Then he added water little by little. As soon as he joined, he broke up the rice, and gradually all the rice was scattered and no longer formed a lump. It is advisable to spread out the rice and leave no water in the basin.

Next. Shaokang added an appropriate amount of rice wine koji to the basin and stirred it well, then compacted the rice mixed with chopsticks little by little, and then made a hole in the middle. As he did it, he said:

"It's called 'making a nest', which is to make the rice ferment better and make wine later."

Nu Ai looked at him with admiration.

At this time, Shaokang sprinkled an appropriate amount of koji evenly on the surface, and sprinkled a little inside the nest. Finally, he carefully poured cold boiled water into the nest. He said to Nu Ai:

"You can't pour it into a full nest, just a little more than half, and you can't pour it onto the rice."

Nu Ai listened patiently and nodded incessantly.

Once poured, he closed the lid and put the rice in the pot – a decent insulated environment to allow it to ferment.
