After the Meng bandit incident, Hua Meng took the initiative to ask Ming Zhu Gong for his guilt, but Ming Zhu Gong did not blame him, but just asked him to quietly strengthen his defense. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hua Meng felt like he was in tears, and after a lot of thought, he rearranged the defense of Dream Island. Ordered Feng Dan to lead 20 guards and 100 family members to guard the Ming Zhu Mansion, and sent special personnel to patrol day and night. Mao Yong was ordered to lead 30 guards and 500 family members to garrison and defend in dangerous places on the four sides of the island. Fan Yinao led 500 sailors to tightly control the sea around the island.

In this way, Dream Island returned to its former safety and calm.

After experiencing the life-and-death battle of Longwei Mountain, Song Qi deeply realized the importance of martial arts, and after encountering the hostage crisis, he also felt the pain of the danger of not having martial arts.

In ancient times, martial arts were like computers and English in the 21st century, and everyone needed to learn a little, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch.

Perhaps influenced by martial arts novels, Song Qi originally thought that learning martial arts was the same as learning anything, as long as he worked hard, he could easily learn it! In martial arts novels, I often see a scholar who has no power to restrain his hands, accidentally fell off a cliff, did not die, and came out seven days later, and then had superb martial arts and profound internal strength.

But he was wrong.

Three quaint houses and a spacious playground form the basic structure of the Yumeshima martial arts arena.

The Dream Island martial arts arena is much more spacious and magnificent than the Ling family's martial arts arena, which can accommodate thousands of people to practice at the same time. After all, there are thousands of family members and sailors on the island, and they often need to be trained.

Before learning martial arts, Song Qi wanted to test his physical fitness to see if he had made any progress in the past few months. He told Mingyu about the idea.

Mingyu listened, nodded, and said, "Come here with me!" As he spoke, he walked towards the west hall of the martial arts arena.

Song Qi Lingxue also followed.

The west hall is tall and spacious, and all kinds of equipment are complete, in addition to eighteen kinds of weapons, there are also various testing equipment, and they are all quite exquisite.

I saw that on the inner wall, there were more than 20 three-legged tripods, arranged from small to large, as if it was a large team. These three-legged tripods are made of pure iron, and the three legs can be used as a gripper, which is much easier to lift than the rough stone. The weight is also finer, from fifty catties to one thousand catties, one every fifty catties, a total of twenty-two iron tripods. Each tripod is engraved with its own weight.

"Great!" When Song Qi saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and eager to try. Of course, the fifty-pound one didn't have to try again, Song Qi went straight to the hundred-pound Tieding. More than four months ago, he was able to lift a hundred catties, but he couldn't lift it above his head, and now he wants to see if he can lift a hundred catties of ding.

He came to the hundred-catty iron tripod, stepped his feet slightly, and looked the tripod up and down a few times. I saw that this tripod black light tile bright, the tripod edge engraved with the word "100 catties" in italics.

Song Qi rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands, squatted slightly with his legs, firmly grasped the two dingzu with both hands, took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth, condensed the dantian qi on his arms, and then shouted, "Get up!" The two arms instantly exerted force, and lifted Tie Ding on half of the waist.

After lifting the top, he felt that the ding was slightly lighter than the stone last time, so he had the confidence to lift it above his head. At this time, his face turned red, and his breath became thicker. He took another deep breath, and suddenly raised his hand and pushed Ding upwards, pushing the top of his head at once.

"Brother Song has lifted a hundred catties, it seems that you have made great progress these days!" Ling Xue clapped her hands and cheered on the side.

Haha, I'm also able to lift the top! Song Qi was very happy in his heart, it seems that this progress is not small!

He gently put the iron ding back down. After a short rest, he went to try to lift a hundred and fifty catties of ding. He exerted all his strength, but he raised the one hundred and fifty catties to the height of his knees. He gritted his teeth, and with another effort, his face was squeezed out of shape, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed. But no matter how hard he tried, Ding couldn't lift it anymore. He had to put Ding down. This time he was exhausted and panting.

"Brother Song, it's already very good to be able to lift a hundred catties! Learning martial arts is not all about strength! Mingyu comforted on the side.

Song Qi glanced at Mingyu and then at Ling Xue, feeling funny in his heart. How come these two people say the same thing?

"Mingyu, which tripod can you probably raise?" Song Qi asked Mingyu with a smile.

Mingyu said: "I can probably lift two hundred catties." ”

It seems that Mingyu's strength is slightly smaller than Ling Xue's. Rao is like this, which still surprises Song Qi. He didn't expect that a soft richest daughter would have so much strength? Could it be that this era is all Hercules?

Ling Xue prompted: "Sister Mingyu has also been practicing since she was seven or eight years old. ”

Song Qi nodded. It seems that everything is practiced. Originally, women and strength were completely different things, but after training, these two things that were out of reach actually merged together. In this way, if I exercise diligently, I should be able to reach the realm of lifting 500 catties.

A smile appeared on his face at the thought of this.

After that, they walked out of the West Hall and returned to the wide playground of the martial arts arena, and officially began to practice martial arts in Dream Island.

"To learn martial arts, you need to strengthen your muscles and train your bones first!" Ling Xue pointed at her like a master and took the trouble to explain, "This must start with squatting and horse walking. ”

Ling Xue said, first making a demonstration of squatting and horse steps. Song Qi squatted down in the same way, stretched out his hands, and squatted down with his legs as if sitting.

"Keep your feet steady, your legs flat, and your waist straight!" Ling Xue spun around next to Song Qi, pointing, reaching out to pat his back from time to time, raising her leg and kicking his foot, "Your feet should be like roots, don't move or tremble." ”

Squatting was a great challenge for Song Qi. After squatting for less than a quarter of an hour, my legs and feet began to tremble.

"Hold on!" Ling Xue said solemnly beside her.

"Okay!" Song Qi panted and agreed.

After squatting for another quarter of an hour, beads of sweat oozed from Song Qi's forehead, his face was flushed, the green tendons on his neck were exposed, his legs kept trembling like chaff, trembling and shaking, and suddenly he leaned back and fell to the ground.

"Am I stupid?" Song Qi lay on the ground and said not without shame. He was really ashamed, as the last apprentice of the master, he didn't know martial arts, and he went out to make people laugh to death. Alas, it's a pity that the master went early, otherwise, he, a closed disciple, would not be as poor as he is now.

"No, no, no, maybe I'm teaching the wrong way." Ling Xue stretched out her hand to pull Song Qi up, and said with a smile: "I taught it with the method that my father taught me, first squatting on the horse, then standing on the pile, and then boxing, that is the method of teaching children." ”

"That's right, Brother Song is not young, and his muscles and bones are not so flexible, so he should be taught in another way." Mingyu had been watching from the side, with a smile on her face, and then she interjected: "It's better to try it the other way around, punch first, and then squat when the punch is over." That's when it's much easier. ”

Song Qi got tired of fighting a carp, and smiled at Mingyu: "Okay, how do you teach, how do I learn." ”

Ling Xue also felt that this method was feasible, so the two of them skipped the squatting step and directly began to teach Song Qi boxing. They broke down the boxing routines into one move and one style, and demonstrated them step by step in front of Song Qi.

Although the method has changed, it is much simpler than squatting on a horse, but Song Qi still can't understand it, and he needs to repeat it many times before he can learn a trick. Often tired and exhausted, with backache and leg pain. For a few days, nothing was gained. At this pace, when will you be able to learn martial arts?

"Could it be that all the martial arts novels are deceitful?" Song Qi's heart was half discouraged, "It seems that I am really not the material for martial arts!" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's like this at the beginning, stick to it, and you can slowly master it." Mingyu comforted.

Fortunately, the two teachers, Mingyu and Ling Xue, were very patient, never disliking him for being stupid, and there was no hint of ridicule. Song Qi couldn't bear to live up to the kindness of the two, and forced himself to dispel the idea of giving up martial arts that had just arisen, and continued to smell the chickens and dance, practicing diligently day and night...

One day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ximen Yun didn't dare to come out and asked his younger brother Ximen Yu to ask Mingyu to meet at the Lanyue Pavilion in the seaside corridor.

Mingyu didn't know what he meant, frowned, and asked Ximen Yu: "What's the matter with your brother, so mysterious." And we've been seeing each other every day these days, what's the hard thing to say? ”

"I'm just a messenger, I don't know if it's ugly. You'll know it all if you go. Ximen Yu said with a smile.

"Well, your words have been brought, now you can go!" Mingyu smiled, said, and sent tea to the guests.

"Don't, don't!" Ximen Yu didn't leave, "If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll be beaten." ”

"Take it. How thick your skin is! Raised eyebrows quipped from the side.

"Sister Mingyu, just have pity on me." Ximen Yu smiled all over his face and begged Mingyuyang, "You just move your toes, even if you raise your feet and go back as soon as you get there." ”

"Forget it, there's really nothing I can do with you." Mingyu sighed, turned his head to the eyebrows and said, "Let's go." ”

Raised eyebrows smiled and nodded. The two followed Ximen Yu out of the house, turned to the left, and walked towards the beach. This Lanyue Pavilion is about half a mile away from the Ming Zhu Mansion, and the Ximen Yun family is very close.

Walking through a jujube forest, I saw Ximen Yun pacing around the pavilion from a distance, turning his head to look this way from time to time.

"Sister Mingyu has arrived!" Ximen Yu imitated the voice of the eunuch and shouted to Ximen Yun in a scream.

Ximen Yun had already seen it, and came out of the pavilion at this time. Ximen Yu retired to Mingyu very interestingly.

Ximen Yun made several colors to Qiaomei and signaled her to retire as well, but Qiaomei was not interested, like a shadow, and did not leave Mingyu an inch.

Ximen Yun had no choice but to laugh and lead the two into the pavilion.

Mingyu didn't sit down, she raised her eyebrows, glanced at Ximen Yun, and asked, "Ximen Yun, what is the matter with you making such a mysterious fuss?" ”

"Nothing." Ximen Yun said with a smile, "I'm going to Duo'an Mansion on a business trip this time, and I'll bring some things for you to see by the way." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pink satin pleated skirt, a fan with a famous genius inscription poem, a pair of jade earrings, and a string of pearl necklaces from the bag next to him.

Ximen Yun put the gifts on the stone table one by one, introduced them to Mingyu one by one, and said, "Mingyu, this is the gift I have selected for you for several streets, I hope you like it." ”

"Ximen Yun, thank you for your kindness! But I can't accept these gifts. Mingyu stretched out his hand and pushed it over, refusing. She thought to herself, a woman accepting a man's gift means that she is interested in him, she is not interested in him, of course she can't accept it, otherwise he will have a misunderstanding, wouldn't it be bad.

"It's my little heart." Ximen Yun thought that she was just embarrassed to accept it, so she pushed it over again with a smile. "You'll just take it."

"Ximen Yun, thank you! These gifts are too expensive for me to accept! You'd better give it to someone else. Mingyu pushed the thing over, turned around and walked away.

"This is my gift to you. If you don't take it, you can't give it to anyone else, you can only throw it away! Ximen Yun blushed and muttered, holding up something to throw it.

Mingyu's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't look back. For a moment, Ximen Yun thought that Mingyu had changed his mind, and a smile appeared on his face, intending to go up and take two steps to grab Mingyu.

But in the end, Mingyu didn't stop, but left without looking back.

He made a grimace at Ximenyun with raised eyebrows, and lightly threw down a sentence: "The thing is yours, if you want to throw it, you have to keep it!" Then he turned around and followed.

Ximen Yun looked at Mingyu's departing back in a daze, came back to his senses after a while, swept his hands to the table fiercely, and swept all these gifts to the ground with a bang...
