"You come with me!"

Father Ling got up from his chair and led Song Qi to the side of the hillside. There are several stones of various sizes www.biquge.info the slope of the hill, the small ones are two feet square, and the large ones are five feet square.

"There are a few stones here, and the weights are 100 catties, 200 catties, 300 catties, 500 catties, and 900 catties." Father Ling pointed to the stone and said to Song Qi, "You lift it, see which one you can lift." ”

Song Qi stuck out his tongue and replied softly, "Okay! He directly bypassed the ninety-hundred-pound, five-hundred-pound, and three-hundred-pound stones, and stopped beside the two-hundred-pound stones for a while, and then went straight to the hundred-pound stones. This smallest stone is also two feet square, and although one hundred is not very heavy, there is no place for a hand on this stone. Looking at this stone, he felt a little weak in his heart.

He glanced back at the Ling father and daughter, and saw that Father Ling was standing a few steps away, still expressionless, while Ling Xue had a relaxed demeanor, and at the same time conveyed her silent encouragement to Song Qi with her eyes.

Song Qi nodded, lifted his pants, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed his hands a few more times. He stood firmly in front of the stone with both feet, squatted down slightly, and groped with both hands on the stone to find a concave and convex place to grasp, and groped for a while, but did not find a place to take advantage of it, so he could only grasp both sides of the stone.

He exhaled first, then took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and condensed the strength of his whole body from the dantian to his arms.

"Up!" He grasped the stone firmly with both hands and lifted it upwards with great force, quickly lifting it off the ground and reaching knee-high height.

At this time, his brows were furrowed, his face was flushed, and the green tendons of his hands were exposed. It can be seen that he has used his strength to feed.

Song Qi continued to exert force, and the stone was increasing inch by inch, but with each inch, his face deepened, gradually turning from red to purple. The stone has been raised to waist-high height, and it is very difficult to raise it any further, and it is even more difficult to lift it above the head.

The most important thing is that in order to lift the top of his head, he must change the action of lifting to the action of lifting in an instant, this transformation is very difficult for Song Qi, if he is not careful, the stone may fall on his body.

Song Qi persevered for a while, feeling that it was really difficult to lift, so he had to give up. As soon as he let go of his hand, he pushed forward and threw the stone on the ground in front of him.

"Boom!" The stone slammed into the ground, creating a crater more than half a foot deep in the ground.

It seems that the lifting stone has not passed the test! Song Qi shook his head and sighed, inevitably a little frustrated.

"Not bad, not bad! Brother Song lifted it! Ling Xue applauded in the back.

Father Ling glared at his daughter and shouted softly, "Nonsense!" Then he instructed the two: "Go to the beach in the afternoon to test your running speed!" Then he turned around and left the martial arts training ground, entered the back door, and disappeared into the room.

"Cher, I'm afraid I won't pass the test!" Song Qi sighed.

Ling Xue comforted gently: "It's okay, this is the first test." Although I haven't lifted it above my head, I've lifted it so high, which is pretty good. And for martial arts, strength is not the key! ”

"Even so, I'm afraid the next test will be difficult!" Song Qi said worriedly.

"The next test is not difficult, I am sure you will be able to pass!" Ling Xue encouraged.

Song Qi sighed and said, "Okay, I'll do my best!" It's okay if I can't get through, anyway, I don't want to practice martial arts in the first place. Don't embarrass your father! ”

"I know!" Ling Xue said with a smile.

Song Qi's eyes swept over a slip of stones on the ground, and asked casually, "How much can you lift this stone?" ”

"I'll lift two hundred pounds." Ling Xue smiled slightly.

"Can you lift two hundred pounds?" Song Qi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. The weak little woman in front of him thought that he could knock her down with one finger, but he couldn't think of it at all! She can actually lift 200 pounds of heavy stones!

"Hmm." Ling Xue nodded, "It's nothing, I've been practicing since I was seven years old." ”

Song Qi asked, "Oh, how much weight can your father lift?" ”

Ling Xue pointed to the largest stone and said lightly, "My father can lift nine hundred catties." ”

"Wow!" Song Qi was once again surprised and couldn't close his mouth. He originally thought that Father Ling could lift five hundred pounds of heavy stones, but he didn't expect to be able to lift nine hundred and nine, which was much beyond his imagination...

In the afternoon, Song Qi followed the Ling father and daughter to the beach. Here you will test his running speed.

At this time, the wind is light and the sea is microwaved. The seashells on the beach glisten in the sun.

It was here that he landed a few days ago. He has an indescribable natural intimacy about this beach.

Running here, he has a certain amount of confidence. After all, running is not a difficult task, and he has run a lot of steps since he was a child. He has also represented his class in running competitions before. It can be said that in terms of speed, he still has a slight advantage.

At this time, a wooden stake was erected on each side of the beach, and the two wooden stakes were five hundred paces apart.

Song Qi and Ling Xue stood by one stake, while Father Ling stood by the other. A pillar of incense was placed on the stake on Daddy Ling's side for timekeeping. He wanted to see how many times Song Qi could run back and forth between the two wooden stakes in the time of a pillar of incense.

"How many times can you run back and forth in a column of incense?" Song Qi looked at the wooden stake on the opposite side and asked Ling Xue with some curiosity.

Ling Xue thought for a moment and said, "I can probably run three round-trips." ”

"What about your father?" Song Qi glanced at Father Ling on the side of the wooden stake opposite.

Ling Xue shook her head and said, "My father hasn't tested it. But when I usually run, my dad is more than half as fast as me. ”

"More than half?" Song Qi looked at Ling Xue in surprise.

Ling Xue nodded: "Of course, it can't be that fast within one or two hundred steps." I mean, after 500 steps, my dad was more than half as fast as me. ”

"Oh! I see! Song Qi understood that Father Ling was known for his stamina.

"Start preparing!" Father Ling's voice came from the opposite side. The voice came from five hundred paces, still loud and powerful.

"Okay!" Song Qi bent forward with one foot, stretched out with one foot, his hands almost on the ground, and bent down beside the stake here in a starting position.

Ling Xue saw this posture and thought that he was overly nervous, so she reached over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting, "Don't be nervous! ”

Song Qi looked back and smiled: "It's okay!" I'm still sure of running. ”

Father Ling asked loudly again, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready!" Song Qi agreed loudly.

Father Ling took out the flint, lit the fire, lit the incense, and then waved his hand and ordered loudly: "Start running!" ”

When Song Qi heard this, he kicked back hard with his hind legs, his body quickly stood up, and his whole body jumped out like a leopard.

As soon as Ling Xue blinked, Song Qi was already a hundred steps away, and she couldn't help but cheer loudly: "Brother Song, you are so good!" ”

Father Ling on the opposite side couldn't help but light up his eyes when he saw Song Qi's running speed.

Song Qi ran wildly all the way, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the trees and reefs moving back quickly, and the sound of the wind swept backwards from his ears. After running two hundred paces, he regretted it a little. This is the rhythm of sprinting, and you can't run for long at this speed. Long-distance running still relies on perseverance and endurance.

If Ling Xue can run three times between a pillar of incense, then he can run at least two round-trips. Two round trips are equivalent to two thousand steps.

If you keep running at this speed, I'm afraid you'll get tired and lie down without running one round, where will you have the strength to run two rounds? I'm afraid that the incense has not burned yet, and I will go into shock.

Thinking of this, he deliberately slowed down his running. For a moment, the running speed dropped to half the starting speed.

Ling Xue thought that he couldn't run anymore, and shouted desperately in the back: "Brother Song, persevere!" ”

Song Qi ran to the wooden stake next to Father Ling and turned around and ran back. As he turned around, he noticed that a third of the incense had burned out.

Half a round trip and a third of it burns, doesn't that mean I can only run more than one round trip?

Song Qi couldn't help but speed up again.

As soon as this speed went up, beads of sweat immediately poured out of his forehead, his heart beat faster, and his breath was short. To be honest, the first lap was relatively easy, while the second lap was quite difficult. By the time he ran to the stake on Ling Xue's side, he was already sweating profusely and panting.

Ling Xue cheered him on the side and said, "Brother Song, persevere!" Persistence is victory! ”

Song Qi ran to the side of the stake, turned around with difficulty, and continued to run to the opposite side.

At this time, his eyes, nose, and mouth were covered with sweat. Through his sweat, he vaguely saw that there was not much left of the incense stick on the other side.

Halfway through the run, he felt that his steps were heavy, and he really couldn't lift them, let alone run with a step. Truth be told, he's pretty much staggered.

If it weren't for the tension of a string in his heart, he would have liked to fall comfortably on the beach, spread out on all fours, and enjoy the washing and soaking in the sea.

You can't fall down, you can't stop. He kept reminding himself in his heart.

At this time, he clenched his teeth, frowned, and looked hideous. His eyes were fixed on the pillar of incense in the distance, staggering, and staggering towards it.

At this time, Ling Xue also ran beside him, constantly cheering up. However, this does not inspire more speed and stamina.

Father Ling stroked his beard under his chin and nodded slightly. I can't see that this kid still has a perseverance and tenacity.

Finally ran to the stake, and saw that the incense was still a finger long, Song Qi wanted to stop and rest, but a voice in his heart told him that the incense would not be extinguished, and he would not stop!

He turned around with great difficulty, and staggered back the way he came.

"It's time! Stop! He hadn't run out twenty steps before he heard the sound of Father Ling calling a halt from behind him.

The voice, like a rest, stuck to his heart. As soon as his nerves were relaxed, the whole person completely lost his strength, and for a while he felt that the sky was dark, his body shook a few times, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

As he had just imagined, he spread his limbs without any scruples and lay on the beach with his back to the sky, ah, it was so comfortable! The cool warmth in the sand suddenly surrounded him from all sides, and quickly penetrated into his body, dissipating fatigue from his body to the sand at once. All limbs and bones are very comfortable. He heard the echo of the sea crashing on the shore not far away, gently massaging and soothing his tired soul and body like an invisible soft hand.

At this time, he enjoyed the pleasure of relaxation to the fullest, and there was no frustration in his heart. After all, I've done my best, so let it go whatever it turns out.

This was followed by tests for softness and responsiveness.

The softness test is mainly to test the flexibility of the muscles and bones. Father Ling asked Song Qi to do all kinds of difficult movements, such as splitting forks, bending over to touch his toes, bending his fingers backwards, and so on. Song Qi is indeed old and hard-boned, and it is difficult to unfold.

The reflexes test is mainly to test his various reflexes. In terms of reflexes, Song Qi is still barely okay.

After four tests, Song Qi could feel that Father Ling was very dissatisfied with his qualifications, because he himself was not satisfied. The most important thing about martial arts is strength and flexibility, and in these two areas, his qualifications are particularly low. He no longer had any hope of learning martial arts. Anyway, he didn't expect Daddy Ling to take him as an apprentice...
