The great cold has arrived, and the people have set up six native oxen, placed them in the fields outside the city, and have sent the great cold away. After the great cold, it is the beginning of spring, and it is also the time when all things sprout. The custom of the cattle is related to the agricultural time sequence at that time. It was also an extremely important sacrificial event at that time.

Deng Ji's family also has fields, but he hires people to cultivate them.

So when it comes to establishing the earth cow, Deng Ji not only has to participate, but also plays a major role.

With the improvement of his status in the county government, Deng Ji gradually had the right to speak in Deng Village. In this year's Litu Niu, he was ranked third, which also shows his current status in Deng Village. In later generations, the custom of standing the earth cow has long been lost, and Cao Peng has never seen it.

So on this day, he got up early in the morning, didn't even go to practice, and went to Litu Niu with Deng Ji.

After standing up the local cattle, there is also a big dinner party in Deng Village.

There are also relevant records in the "Historical Records-Almanac" that when people die, they will eat and drink for a while, and they will be yang, so they are called the first year.

According to the later generations, it is 'Xiao Nian'!

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people celebrated the New Year in the form of a dinner. Enter the wine and respect the elder, and write an article to thank the gentleman.

Generally speaking, the person who writes the article must be the big man in the village.

In the past, most of the articles written by Deng Village were written by the old lady herself. However, this year, it was replaced by Deng Ji......

After the dinner, Cao Peng returned home.

After reading the book for a while, under the supervision of Deng Ji, I practiced calligraphy for a while, and then returned to my room.

Sitting on the couch, he spread a few pieces of linen paper on the table, frowning and contemplating. The shape of the two-way piston bellows is drawn on the hemp paper.

Cao Peng can only draw a figure based on his own memory.

But the structure inside the bellows, he didn't know what to do......

This thing can't be easily revealed, otherwise there will be big trouble. After all, the two-way piston bellows only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, more than a thousand years apart from the present. If this thing is leaked, what will happen to Cao Peng is not clear. But there is one thing, if it does not bring enough benefits to himself, he says that he will not take this bellows out of anything...... You know, it's a baby.

Xu drank two bowls of turbid wine during the dinner, so that his mind was a little dizzy.

Cao Peng couldn't think of any results, so he hastily put away the drawings and fell asleep.

This sleep until the next day will be dawn.

The cold winter is coming, and Meng Chun will come......

The mist outside the house is a phenomenon of alternating yin and yang.

"Ah Fu, get up!"

Wang Mai knocked on the door and woke Cao Peng from his sleep.

Rubbing his eyes, he sat up from the bed.

Now in this big mansion, there is a bit of anger. After Wang Meng returned, he lived with Wang Mai in the wing room in the front yard; Deng Ji and his wife occupied one row of houses, while Cao Ji and Cao Peng occupied another row of houses. Cao Peng's room is next to the central hall, in the middle is the study, and beyond is the bedroom of Cao Ji and his wife. The reason for this arrangement is also due to the fact that Wang Mai will look for Cao Peng every day. In this way, it is convenient for Wang Mai to wake up Cao Peng, and it will not disturb Cao Ji and his wife.

Since Wang Meng came back with two horses, Wang Mai has become more and more diligent!

He volunteered to take care of the horses, tidy up the stables, and groom the horses. Every morning, I have to lead the horse to walk the horse on the river beach. In this way, in addition to the normal exercises, Wang Mai took the initiative to add a task.

Practice equestrianism!

Even with him, Cao Peng was also pulled in by him to practice riding together.

The two horses that Wang Meng brought back are really nothing in the eyes of connoisseurs.

These two horses are old horses that have been eliminated from the army! Compared with the mount that Wang Meng rode back then, it was really not on the same level.

But Wang Meng said that this kind of old horse is most suitable for the current situation of Wang Mai and Cao Peng.

The surname is very docile, and he can understand some simple passwords. For beginners, this old horse is undoubtedly the most suitable. Cao Peng tried it once, and felt that Wang Meng was right. Now that they're just starting to learn how to ride, they're really not a good horse.

Get dressed and grab the skin bag next to your pillow.

It contains some bits and pieces, which are mainly used during practice.

"Today you walk the big black, I bring the big flowers."

Big Black and Big Flower are the names of two horses.

Because one is a black horse and the other is a flower horse, Wang Mai directly gave them these two names.

Cao Peng doesn't care if it's a big black or a big flower, anyway, the two horses are quite docile, and they walk everyone the same. The two men led the horses out of the stable, then out of the gate and walked slowly around the peach forest. Go faster and faster, and start running...... The two horses also followed with a lot of spirits, at first they took small steps, and then as Cao Peng and the two began to run, their steps also accelerated.

Running to the river beach, Cao Peng and Wang Mai both warmed up and turned over at the same time.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, war horses were not equipped with double stirrups and high saddles, so when riding horses, they mostly relied on their legs to fix them on the horse.

This requires extremely strong waist and abdominal strength, and it requires a certain amount of flexibility.

If it was a month ago, Cao Peng really couldn't do it.

Now...... He could barely sit on his horse and jog slowly. In contrast, Wang Mai has made great progress and can gallop on horseback.

It's been almost 20 days since I came to Deng Village!

Cao Peng could feel that his body was slowly getting stronger......

After riding the horse for a while, Cao Peng stopped. He threw off the reins, stood on the embankment and began to punch. It's a bit strange today, there is no one on the other side of the river. A few days ago, the old man who appeared on the other side of the river every day did not come today. This also made Cao Peng feel more or less unaccustomed.

After a set of punches, I practiced Baduanjin as usual.

After the eight-duan brocade practice, the old man still didn't appear!

Maybe, he has something to do today, and he won't come? Cao Peng didn't know why he suddenly missed the old man. Maybe I'm used to watching the old man, so suddenly there is no one, and I don't feel comfortable for a while. This man is a little cheap.

I used to feel uncomfortable being watched by others, but now that no one is peeping, I still feel uncomfortable.

Cao Peng adjusted his mood and continued to practice with Wang Mai.

"Brother Tiger Head, what I'm going to teach you today is called 'Dragon-shaped Bone Searching'."

Wang Mai was sweating profusely, and only wore a shoulder-shaped underwear called a half-arm.

He listened attentively to Cao Peng's explanation, and asked questions from time to time.

"Strength, emphasis on bone strength, also known as the power of the kidney element, the power of innate power...... In fact, to put it bluntly, this dragon-shaped bone search contains two elements.

First, hip ...... Oh, this is the location. ”

Cao Peng said, going over to hold Wang Mai's lumbar spine position and the muscles on the pelvis.

In traditional martial arts, this position is called dantian, also known as the middle section.

"The hips can exert force, and the waist and hips can open and close, which is one of them; Second, the whole body Gu family muscles are connected...... Here, this is the dantian force I mentioned to you two days ago, which can reach all parts of the body smoothly without any internal friction, which is called 'Jinlu' through. ”

Cao Peng hasn't practiced to that level yet, so naturally it's impossible to exert himself.

The truth was too profound, and he and Wang Mai couldn't explain it clearly, so they had to use the simplest way to teach.

"You see, we don't usually feel the muscles in the dantian area...... Unless you've sprained your back. But if you practice it, you can experience the strongest strength contained in these deadliest joints in the body. This power is called the primordial beast power, the power of true instinct...... Brother Tiger Head, if you can practice boxing and be able to strengthen the dantian, you can increase the strength of at least two hundred catties......

You probably can't imagine it.

Well, when you hunt with your uncle, you must have seen tigers and leopards when they rush to hunt for food. The speed, strength, and coordination of the beast when hunting are all activated from these parts. With this kind of strength as the backing, it is said that after fighting and killing the territory, he will definitely be able to take the head of the general. ”

Wang Mai listened carefully, and followed Cao Peng, making various actions from time to time.

Those eyes, shining brightly, nodded again and again......

"Practice martial arts and practice boxing, talk about the two qi of dragon and tiger.

You may not have seen a dragon, but you must have seen a tiger. Isn't the strongest tiger the spine and waist hips? With the ability of a dragon and a tiger, how can you not be strong. ”

As he spoke, Cao Peng suddenly twisted his hips and punched out.

Wang Meng saw it clearly from the side, and couldn't help but shout: "Good punch!" ”

To be honest, Cao Peng's punch didn't have much power. However, it produces a ferocious aura that makes people feel palpitations......

However, after the punch, his whole body seemed to be out of strength.

After all, this body has not been trained well, simulating such a punch in a previous life, almost exhausting all the energy.

Wang Mai also knew about Cao Peng's situation, and hurriedly said, "Ah Fu, you can rest for a while." You've just said so much, I can't even comprehend it at once...... Take a break, I'll figure it out myself...... Well, the dragon-shaped bone search, the breath of the dragon and the tiger...... Is it like this? ”

Wang Mai spoke, imitating Cao Peng's appearance just now, and threw a punch.

In terms of strength, his punch was much more powerful than Cao Peng's punch just now. But Wang Mai could feel it himself, and his punch did not have the momentum that Cao Peng had just now.

"Ah Fu, I really regret it now!"

"Regret what?"

"When that old Fang Shi was in Zhongyang Town, why didn't I study hard with him?

Alas, I knew that he had such great ability, and I would learn from him whatever I said. Now that I think about it, I really regret it! ”

Even if you learn, you won't be able to learn.

These things are the essence of those martial arts masters in later generations, and the old scholars of this era probably don't understand it.

Cao Peng could only nod awkwardly.

"Fate...... Brother Tiger Head, fate! ”

Wang Mai, looking very depressed!
