When he got up early in the morning, Li Yun whistled, and Xiaohuzi quickly ran to his side and rubbed on him affectionately. Li Yun loves the little tiger very much, takes good care of it, eats meat for it every day, and even sometimes uses medicinal solutions to temper its body, and the good conditions make the little tiger grow into a strong dog. It is tall and graceful, with well-developed limbs and powerful limbs, and its coat color is a bit like that of a wolf, gray and white, with a shining luster, like a cheetah ready to pounce on its prey. In the past two years, he has often run out on his own, bringing back a hare or pheasant from time to time to show off, and he is already the king of animals in the neighborhood.

"Let's go!" Li Yun brought dry food and water bladders, carried bows and arrows and scimitars, held spears in his hands, and tied daggers to his legs, and ran towards the mountains like a little hunter, and opened the way in front like a little tiger.

In the mountains in the early morning of autumn, it is already very cool, there is a thin layer of light mist floating in the mountains, and the undulating mountains are ethereal in the fog from a distance, like a fairyland of Yaochi! The footsteps of "click, click, click" shattered the silence of the morning, trampled on the dewdrops, startled the finch, and a man and a dog raced like this, running excitedly towards the front.

After running for about half an hour, Li Yun came to a hidden small valley, and Li Yun stopped. This valley is not large, with a radius of about 40 acres of land, surrounded by mountains, and it is warmer than the outside. There is a waterhole on the south side, which is crystal clear and the swimming fish are clearly visible. There is a small cave on the sunny slope of the north, the hole is about three meters deep and about two meters high, just enough for Li Yun and them to accommodate one person and one dog. The inside was simply leveled, with some hay and a straw mat, and a futon, stone platform, and simple daily necessities. This was discovered by Li Yun during a long-distance run in the field half a year ago, which is inaccessible and beautiful, and Li Yun likes it very much, so it has become his training base.

Li Yun first ran the Cave Void Sutra for nine weeks, and then played the 36 styles of Tai Chi, so that the meridians of the body were unblocked, and the muscles, bones and joints were moved, which was regarded as loosening the meridians and muscles and bones, and making some preparatory movements. Next, Li Yun used boxing, palming, marksmanship, knife, and archery all the way, and began the daily training of martial arts.

Thirty-six styles of Xingyi long fist, each style has nine movements, the action is mainly to take the fierce route, open and close, give full play to the height and strength advantages, and the power is overwhelming. This Xingyi Changquan, with internal strength, is a martial art that integrates inside and outside, and is not confined to boxing, it is really a comprehensive body martial art. It makes full use of the characteristics of various parts of the body, and combines the head, legs, palms, fingers, knees, feet, back and the use and tactics of the whole body, and also imitates the attack actions of animals such as tigers, leopards, eagles, snakes, etc., which are unpredictable and all-encompassing! Li Yun exerted himself on the edge of the pool, his whole body was like steel and iron bones, the fist wind was whistling, sometimes like a tiger descending the mountain to pounce, sometimes like an eagle flying in the sky, hitting the fast, only to see a group of figures, the last pedal, the ground shook the mountain, the surrounding branches trembled, and the birds fled far away!

After a short break, Li Yun slapped the clouds again. Maybe it's because of the sloppy Taoist who was born as a military general, the martial arts he taught were all extremely fierce, and the same is true for this row of cloud palms. There are a total of eighteen types of Paiyun Palm, each of which has a special qi route, which does not change heavily, and through the operation of qi and blood through special meridians, the power of the whole body is beaten, and the power is huge. The main difficulty of this row of cloud palms is to open up the meridians of the whole body, which is not the slightest difficulty for Li Yun. Li Yundong's Void Sutra entered the late stage of the Qi training period, the internal qi was strong, the meridians of the whole body were smooth all over the world, the heart turned at will, the cloud palm was exerted, the whole body seemed to have a layer of air cover, both palms slammed out, and a big tree with a thick bowl mouth broke in response!

Li Yun also continuously practiced the Flying Dragon Marksmanship, the Overlord Knife Technique, and the Lianzhu Arrow Technique, all of which were born from battlefield fighting, long-range attack and close combat, and thousands of armies were easy! But seeing that the gun is like a swimming dragon, the knife is dominant, the arrow is like a bead, and the man and weapon are one, you can't resist it! If the veteran of the battlefield sees it, he will also be surprised that the ancient brave generals are reincarnated, and the head of the enemy in the army of ten thousand horses is like probing for things! Li Yun also practiced the flying knife technique, and his dagger threw hundreds of shots at close range, which was also unguardable!

After Li Yun's martial arts practice, he was very happy, and he felt unfinished! He savored it carefully, today's training in various martial arts is very different from the past! The meridians are unblocked, and the coordination of internal qi and movement is smoother and perfectly integrated; Because of the enhancement of perception, the control of the strength of various parts of the body is more subtle, the transition between various movements is more free, and the response is faster; It also seems that the strength of the body has almost doubled, and the power of the moves has been greatly improved. Li Yun felt that martial arts had also entered a new level, and it could be said that he had already achieved a small success. No loss of five hellish years of hard training!

Li Yun lived here for the next ten days, further perceiving and consolidating the new realm. Xiaohuzi is still free to move, and he also brought Li Yun some game, and the fish in the waterhole are also delicious. The topography of the valley makes its small environment very different from the outside, warm but not cold, and the pool water is a bit warm like a hot spring. Li Yun practiced when he woke up, ate when he was hungry, soaked in the water when he was tired, watched the shadow of the floating clouds and ponds during the day, and watched the stars in the sky at night, as if he had returned to the most original state in the early days of human beings, carefree, in harmony with man and nature, and inadvertently began to move towards the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

Ten days later, Li Yun rushed back to the temple with Xiaohuzi. Seeing the temple door open, he knew that the master, who had been away for three months, had returned, and ran towards the main hall excitedly, still shouting "Master, Master". In the past two years, the master has been away for a few months every year, and each time he will bring some medicinal materials and other things, this time he doesn't know what he will bring back, Li Yun's heart is also faintly looking forward to it.

The sloppy Taoist came out of the hall and saw Li Yun, and said with a smile: "Apprentice, let the teacher see what progress you have made?" "Huh?" He couldn't help but take Li Yun's hand, and the internal qi circulated in Li Yun's body to check it, and laughed: "Not bad!" Not bad! You have made a big breakthrough this time, get through Zhou Tian, and enter the late stage of Qi training! Your Taoism and martial arts will have a qualitative improvement, which can be regarded as a good foundation, as long as you continue to improve in the future, you will have great achievements! His tone changed and he said, "The teacher also predicted that you might be about to break through, so I prepared a few things for you to see!" After speaking, he went into the house and took out a few things, and Li Yun's eyes immediately lit up.

A black and shiny spear, the head of the spear is fusiformal, the barrel has a pattern, about two meters long, cast in fine iron, weighing about sixty catties, and cannot be used by people who are not powerful. A scimitar about one meter long, with a thick back, a shiny blade, and a weight of forty catties. A set of bows and arrows, at first glance, is made by masters, the strength and flexibility of the bow body and bowstring are very strong, the twenty arrows are sharp, and the overall streamlining performance is very good.

Li Yun picked up this and put down that, he couldn't put it down. After the breakthrough, his strength increased, and he was worried that he didn't have the weapon in his hand, and now the weapon that the master brought back was really timely! He said to Master gratefully, "Thank you so much, Master! The disciple is ashamed and has no way to repay him! After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the master three times.

The sloppy Taoist pulled Li Yun up and said, "Don't worry too much about it!" That's all the teacher can help you now, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future to train you into a talent! He said again: "Apprentice, you are now a little successful in both Taoism and martial arts, but you can't fight against a master!" Your kung fu is all practiced, and you lack the experience of fighting, especially life and death, and you lack blood! It's time for the next phase of training! ”

"We're going to have a wilderness survival trial ahead! You don't have the comfortable life you have now! You have to hone your body in a tough environment, exercise your qualities, fight to the death against ferocious beasts or vicious gangsters, and use the limits between life and death to quickly improve! ”

The Taoist pointed to the depths of the vast Yunling Mountain Range in the distance and said, "Let's start with the Yunling Mountain Range!" At first, I will teach you all kinds of knowledge about survival and fighting in the wild, and then you will rely on yourself to survive and hone on your own! ”

The master and apprentice prepared at home for a few days, brought some simple clothes, backpacks and dry food, took Xiaohuzi, bid farewell to Li Yun's parents and family, and braved the wind and snow to rush to the depths of the Yunling Mountains in the tearful farewell of Li Yun's parents. Wang couldn't help crying, he said to Li Xiang: "The child is so young, do you think he can endure those hardships?" Will he be in any danger? I'm so worried! Although Li Xiang was also very worried, and there were tears in his eyes, he still comforted his wife and said: "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a master!" Although the child is small, he has great ability, and his master is also a master, so he will be fine! I'll be back soon! ”

However, he said that the master and apprentice walked in the mountains for a while, and Li Yun said to the master: "Master, I found a small valley in the mountains three months ago, which is very suitable for quiet cultivation, do you want to go and see it?" The sloppy Taoist asked Li Yun to lead the way to the small valley, observed the terrain, and said, "I have found a good place for you to cultivate, like a paradise!" Let's stay here for a while, and I'll explain the exercises in the later stages to you, and help you consolidate your realm by the way! ”

For the next few months, the master and apprentice stayed here. Under the teachings of the master, the content of the scriptures in the later period of Li Yundong's Void Sutra has gained a deeper understanding, the subtleties of martial arts have also been more profound, and the direction of future efforts has also become clearer. Li Yun cultivated the Cave Void Sutra in the morning and evening, and began to try to feel the vitality of heaven and earth, swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, and enhance his divine sense; During the day, continue to polish your body, enhance your functions, hone your martial arts, and familiarize yourself with new weapons. Gradually, his weapons were used like his own body, and the unity of man and weapon reached a new realm. The temperature is getting lower and lower, and in the process of using internal qi to fight the cold, Li Yun's internal strength is increasing, and his body's adaptability is also increasing.
