Chapter 24: The Stage of Pain (Dragon Boat Festival Ankang~)
Duan Tianxing took Li Xiang back to the main hall.
By this time, the three boys had finished standing on their stakes and rested on the sidelines.
Seeing Duan Tianxing coming, he hurriedly stood up straight, with a silent expression.
Is it really that scary?
Li Xiang glanced at Duan Tianxing and felt that the deterrent power on his body was a little heavier, but it was not so exaggerated.
It may be that there is something hidden that he doesn't know.
"Today, Li Xiang officially joined our Zhenxing Martial Arts Pavilion as a new disciple, he is the youngest of you, as a senior brother, you have to take care of him more."
Duan Tianxing stood with his hands in his hands, his voice thick and loud.
To be honest, until now, Li Xiang hadn't figured out Duan Tianxing's age.
Forty years old? Fifty years old? Sixty years old?
It's all possible.
"Yes!"
The three of them responded loudly, raising their heads and chests.
Duan Tianxing turned his head again and said to Li Xiang: "If you have any questions about the martial arts hall in the future, just ask them, and they will answer them for you." Of course, you can also ask me. β
"Okay."
Li Xiang nodded, and a soft touch came from under his feet.
It's a fire-spotted meow.
Today is the first time that it has been separated from Li Xiang for nearly half an hour, and it misses it tightly.
Duan Tianxing glanced at the fire meow, and suddenly said, "Your little elf is too dependent on you, this is a good thing, and it is not a good thing. β
Li Xiang was slightly stunned, and then remembered that he had never seen Duan Tianxing's elf, and Duan Tianxing himself didn't mention it.
I thought about the meaning of Duan Tianxing's words.
He said, "I see, I will control this degree." β
Everything is about a degree, and it's naturally a good thing for you and me to be close to him, but it's too dependent, and there will be all kinds of problems.
Li Xiang hopes that Spotted Meow can be on his own, and what he needs is a fresh life with his own ideas and will weigh the pros and cons.
For example, it can detect abnormalities in the environment and alert Lubi's swamp leaping fish.
Instead of just recognizing his orders, a fighting machine that doesn't have the slightest idea of his own.
It's good to be obedient, but it's not good to be too obedient.
Now that it is a symptom, a small bud has just emerged, and if Li Xiang can deal with it in time, he may not be able to get a good result.
- Anyway, the trainer's first pokef is important.
Spotted Meow was confused, and she didn't understand what the two were talking about.
β¦β¦
Li wanted to put the fire meow outside the main hall and encourage it to make friends with the elves of Lu Chengfeng and the others.
He still remembers why he chose Spotted Meow in the first place.
Don't give this to waste.
Firespotted Meow hesitated for two seconds, hesitantly looked at the "fierce and evil" elves, and finally decided to lean over.
It turns out.
They don't do anything to Fire Meow, and even because everyone's trainers learn martial arts together, they are quite kind to Fire Meow.
Essentially.
Most of the elves in this world are innocent by nature and will not hurt others casually.
Secondly.
It's not just humans who are afraid of Duan Tianxing.
Therefore, it didn't take long for the four elves to get acquainted and happily play around the square.
The other side.
Li Xiang officially began to learn the basic martial arts of the Zhenxing Pavilion - Collapse Fist.
Personally guided by Duan Tianxing.
After a simple warm-up activity, open your muscles and bones.
"Without further ado, today I will start teaching you the most basic movement of breaking fists, which is standing on the pile. No matter what the routine is, how to resist the opponent, this posture is especially important......"
While teaching by word and deed, he asked Li Xiang to follow suit, and whenever there was something wrong, he would open his mouth to remind him.
Or directly get started and set Li Xiang right.
Well, a lot of hands.
Li Xiang felt like he was being bone-straightened.
But through his light robe, he could feel Duan Tianxing's exaggeratedly strong muscles.
Presumably this is the so-called tendon meat all over the body, dressed to look thin and undressed with meat, right?
Li Xiang is envious of his real name.
How many boys don't like abs?
It's nothing more than a lazy dog unwilling to move.
Standing on the pile is simple.
It's also hard.
The simple is not complicated in the action, but the difficulty is that it is difficult to persevere.
Duan Tianxing asked him to keep this position for ten minutes, no matter what the wind and grass were, even if someone tickled him, he was not allowed to move, including his mouth.
With that, he left.
What is this?
Do not supervise and rely on others to be conscious?
Li Xiang wondered if Duan Tianxing was too high on a child's self-control.
There are very few children who can honestly do what he says, right?
Staying motionless in one position for ten minutes may not be able to resist adults.
Li Xiang was slandered in his heart, but there was a popping sound in his ears.
He looked out of the corner of his eye, and could barely find that his three cheap senior brothers were really practicing with equipment that he didn't know what to do yesterday.
Wing Chun wooden stake?
Li Xiang thought of this all at once.
Also, Sanda also has leg targets, hand targets and sandbags, how can you learn martial arts here without any equipment.
"Hoo ......"
He let out a long breath, his body already starting to sour slightly.
In the end, it is a body that has only been exercising for a long time, and it is impossible to become a fat person at one time.
Be still, be still.
Li wants to relax his body and not let his muscles tense stiffly, standing on piles and hugging are very natural behaviors, and if the posture is too stiff, he will get tired quickly.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Because it was summer, there was no air conditioning in the hall, although there was a breeze blowing on the face, the wind was also hot, and the scale was small, and in a moment, Li Xiang had already become a state of sweat.
Seeing this scene, the fire spotted meow outside the door curiously leaned over and looked up at Li Xiang, meowed twice, and saw that he didn't react, so he grabbed his trouser leg with his claws.
This stinky cat!
Li Xiangqiang resisted the idea of speaking to let it go, his body tensed slightly, and he didn't dare to move.
He didn't know how long it was, maybe ten minutes earlier, maybe not.
No one came to stop him, and he couldn't see the watch in his hand from this perspective.
There are no wall clocks around.
Seeing that Li Xiang didn't pay attention to it at all, Huoban Meow felt bored and turned his head and left, looking for the fierce fire monkey.
Fire-type elves are always close to each other, after all, everyone loves summer, and to some extent, this is a common "language".
It's just a pity that they are not allowed to go to nearby venues.
Otherwise, there will be more common languages.
β¦β¦
Duan Tianxing is back.
Successfully liberated Li Xiang, who had back pain.
The latter held his waist and gasped, wiping the sweat from his head with the back of his hand.
Standing on the stake was more tiring than he thought.
"Physical fitness is not good, in addition to standing on the pile, you also have to carry out basic physical fitness training."
Duan Tianxing didn't know when there was an extra leather short whip in his hand, which he put behind him.
Li Xiang saw it, and his pupils shrank.
Don't, just went looking for a whip?
If he hadn't insisted on resting early, would he have been whipped right away?
Lie down!
Corporal punishment is possible!
Li Xiang wailed in his heart, he thought that Duan Tianxing really didn't care, let him learn or not.
I didn't expect it to be a filial master under the stick.
That's right, if Duan Tianxing's thinking was so avant-garde, he wouldn't have tested his heart in such a strange way before.
No wonder Lu Chengfeng and they were so afraid of Duan Tianxing.
No wonder the martial arts hall is so deserted, but if the thinking can be avant-garde, it will not be a clichΓ©.
-- Abusive education law, beaten if you don't learn.
I first asked if I had perseverance, and then asked if I was the reason for kowtowing or not.
The first two levels have passed, and the third level follows.
If he shook his face and left at this time, it was estimated that Duan Tianxing would not say anything, just watch him go away. After all, from beginning to end, the old man never forced him, and even gave him the right to choose.
But when he finished choosing, how to teach him was Duan Tianxing's right.
It shouldn't be too late to say "no" in time.
But......
Li Zhehan and Yin Tao, who have great expectations, how should Li Xiang explain?
The master is too devilish and inhumane, I don't learn anymore.
This reason is very good, and most parents can accept it.
Acceptable is acceptable, and disappointment is absolutely inevitable.
From the tone he heard in the previous phone call between Li Xiang and his father, it was not difficult for him to hear how much Li Zhehan expected him to learn martial arts.
How eager Ms. Yin wanted him to learn the art of life-saving.
Li Xiang was reluctant to let them down.
Because of them in their previous lives, they were disappointed too many times......
More or less you should be proud.
So, Li Xiang gritted his teeth and began to conduct basic physical fitness training under the guidance of Duan Tianxing.
It's a pity that he still thinks highly of himself.
Duan Tianxing's training was almost as much as training a high-level elf, very excessive.
Li Xiang is doubting whether this thing will teach his disciples, how can he train people to death on the first day?
But every time he couldn't hold on and fell, Duan Tianxing would stand beside him and let him get up.
If you don't get up for the first time, don't beep with you more, and shake your hand is a whip.
It's like Nima driving cattle.
But every time Li Xiang thought that he had beaten his skin open, he turned his head to look at it, and he would find that he could already cry in pain, but his skin was still only red.
There is no black green one.
What is this? Beat the meat or not the skin?
Li Xiang was speechless, so he could only grit his teeth and insist.
The head was knocked and the money was paid, and the bitterness was self-inflicted, and he was arrogant and felt that he wanted to return to his roots, but now that he looks, Li Xiang really had the idea of running away.
But he also knows that if he escaped this time, he will regret it in the future.
Li Xiang hates taking regret medicine the most.
After practicing this, he also understood why Duan Tianxing wanted to use a whip.
Because practicing martial arts is too painful, if no one is persecuted with greater pain in the back, then it is impossible for an eleven-year-old child to insist on practicing the whole course.
And this kind of physical pain doesn't mean that if you finish it today, you won't use it tomorrow, and it will be over.
It may stay with you for the rest of your life.
Talking about willpower with a child who is not mentally complete and never giving up is not directly effective with a whip.
In the distance, Huoban Meow saw Li Xiang being beaten, and he was about to rush over to dry Duan Tianxing.
It's just that he didn't run a few steps, and he was held down by elves such as fierce fire monkeys.
They advised Spotted Meow not to die.
However, how can Firespotted Meow listen?
In the end, it had to be Li Xiang, who was tired of being a stupid dog, to order it not to come, and it stopped moving.
For this reason, Li Xiang was whipped by Duan Tianxing again, saying that he should not be distracted.
What a little kitten pit!
Li Xiang wanted to cry without tears, because he was sweating all over.
β¦β¦
Thereupon.
All morning down.
Li Xiang directly stuck half of his body to the wall, so that he could not let himself fall, as if his body was drenched in the rain, his clothes and skin were sticky, and his eyes were hot and painful.
Duan Tianxing said that if he dared to sit or lie on the ground, he would take the initiative to come over and receive two whips.
Li thought what else could he do, so he had to support the wall.
It is not advisable to break the jar and break it.
I rested for about five minutes.
Duan Tianxing said: "Duan Yu, Lu Chengfeng, you take him to the bathroom." Wang Dong, go to the warehouse to find a set of low-size clothes for him, and ask for a full set. β
"Yes!"
The three of them who trained on their own promised.
Duan Tianxing turned his head and left, "I'll be waiting for you in the cafeteria." β
Until he walked away.
Only the three of Duan Yu dared to approach Li Xiang.
"Senior brother, how is it, can you hold on?"
Lu Chengfeng squatted on the ground, looking up at Li Xiang, who lowered his head, with a sympathetic face.
"If you can't hold on, cry out, it's a little more comfortable."
"It's good to get used to it, that's how everyone comes over."
Wang Dong didn't care about the sweat on Li Xiang's body, and patted him on the shoulder, "Master, this person has a knife mouth and a knife heart, remember not to fight against him, dare to talk back, you will die." β
Duan Yu didn't say a word, and directly lifted Li Xiang's arm to his shoulder.
Seeing this, Lu Chengfeng reached out to take his other arm.
The two of them were tired from even talking, and Li Xiang, who looked like corpses, lifted up and walked towards the west.
Wang Dong went to the warehouse.
Again, involuntarily, but this time it was not coercion.
"Thank you......"
Li Xiang thanked the two of them.
β¦β¦
To the west of the martial arts hall is a shower room and a bathhouse, which is full of the style of a large bathhouse in the eighties and nineties, with white square tiles and iron pipe faucets.
Firespotted Meow hates water, even hot water.
So it waited outside with the fire monkeys.
"It's a pity that Senior Brother, Senior Sister is not here, otherwise you can enjoy Senior Sister's personal service."
On the bathing table, Li Xiang was lying on his stomach like a dead pig, and Lu Chengfeng rubbed his back again.
Duan Yu stood on the other side, rubbing Li Xiang's hands and legs to relax his muscles.
"Teacher, sister?"
Li Xiang raised his head slightly.
Lu Chengfeng's face became inexplicably proud, "That's right! One of the most delicate flowers in our town star pavilion! Senior Sister Baiji! β
"Where's the senior sister?"
Li Xiang asked with a sideways face.
Lu Chengfeng took the bath towel and rubbed it and said, "Where else can I go, I went to school in other places." β
"Trainer Academy?"
"No, Culture University, Yu Bar Department. Senior sister is twenty-three years old this year. Lu Chengfeng showed a mouthful of white teeth to Li Xiang.
Twenty-three-year-old elder sister......
Li Xiang turned his head and glanced at Duan Yu, and asked again, "How many apprentices does our master have?" β
Duan Yu was rubbing Li Xiang's biceps, and when he heard this, he said flatly: "Originally, six, add you seven." β
"Yes, I guess you should be a closed disciple."
Lu Chengfeng nodded.
Li Xiang was puzzled, "Closed-door disciple? Why? He...... The master didn't tell me ah, a closed disciple or something. β
"If you can say that there are ghosts!"
Wang Dong walked in from the outside, and pointed behind him with his thumb, "I'll put the clothes outside for you." β
Li Xiang thanked him loudly.
Lu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Senior brother, it's normal for you to be unfamiliar with the master's temper, he doesn't like to talk very much, unless it's a particularly important matter, he generally won't talk about it, or he will talk about it very late." β
"And how do you knowβ"
"Master, he has a string of jade pendants, which is a big jade divided into seven pieces, every time he accepts a disciple, when he finds a suitable opportunity, he will give a piece out, add you, the seventh piece, gone."
Duan Yu answered silently on the side.
Li Xiang was surprised, there is still this kind of operation?
"Moreover, the master is old, and when the few of us grow up, he can just retire."
Wang Dong took the initiative to pinch one of Li Xiang's legs.
Are these people so considerate?
Could it be that what happened yesterday was a dream, or did he misunderstand and really just visit?
Li Xiang was comfortably served by these three people, and he was a little suspicious that he was too tired and hallucinating.
It's so friendly, these three.
"How old is the master, and how old are the other brothers? What about you? β
He was determined to ask something to come out.
"The master is fifty-one this year. The second senior sister Qi Sunsun, 20 years old, went to school at Yuda Breeding College. β
Duan Yu is like a ruthless answering machine, "Third Senior Sister Jiang Shangrou, eighteen years old, is in the Yuda Training Academy. After that, I was fifteen years old, studying at Qingcheng No. 1 High School, and I was going to be a doctor. β
He glanced at Li Xiang.
Three senior sisters?
And the quasi-god started and went to a cultural school? Being a doctor?
Li Xiang didn't understand Duan Yu's thoughts very well, but this was someone's private matter, and it had nothing to do with him, and he was not qualified to intervene.
Lu Chengfeng said: "Next is me, your fifth senior brother, who is thirteen years old this year, studying at the Qingcheng Basic Trainer Academy-"
"I'm my brother!" Wang Dong interjected dissatisfiedly.
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, "Eh, you wait for me to finish talking first, is this matter very important?" What about your fifth senior brother and me, I want to go to the film and television academy, I want to be a martial arts star! β
Speaking of this, he kicked the air twice, whirring.
Wang Dong glanced at his lips with a disdainful expression, and then said to Li Xiang with great interest: "Senior brother, I am the fifth senior brother, I am also thirteen years old this year, and I am in the same class as him." β
He pointed at Lu Chengfeng.
"I want to ...... after I graduated. Go to Yunzhou to make money and start a company! β
That's why you chose migrant workers?
It's also too ......
Li Xiang was speechless, he found that Duan Tianxing's apprentices really had everything.
It's a pity that his old seventh setting is repeated.
He turned his head, but saw that the three of them were all looking at him directly, looking quite mad.
"What's wrong?"
"Senior brother, it's your turn!"
The three of them said in unison.
Get.
Li Xiang closed his eyes and said, "I'm eleven years old this year, and I'm about to go to the Basic Trainer Academy, and I'm going to be admitted to the Advanced Trainer Academy." β
His tone was calm, but his heart was extremely firm.
Once again, he must live a wonderful and happy life!
But when they heard his words, the three of them looked at each other, as if they had received some terrible information.
Duan Yu hesitated and said, "Senior brother, why don't we think about it again?" β
"Yes, yes!"
The other two nodded.
Li Xiang was slightly stunned, "Consider? What is there to consider? β
Duan Yu turned his head sideways, not daring to look at Li Xiang's expression, and said, "This, the master's martial arts hall, needs to be inherited by you......"
Well?
Well???
"Wait a minute!" Li Xiang straightened his waist with a carp, and then fell back in pain.
"What did you just say?"
He resisted the soreness in his body and asked.
Seeing this, Duan Yu simply stopped hiding it and said loudly:
"Senior brother, the six of us have a clear goal, so this martial arts hall needs you to inherit it, and Zhenxing martial arts needs you to carry it forward! You deserve it! β
"That's right!"
"That's it!"
The other two little boys accosted each other.
οΌοΌοΌ
These three are playing with him?
Li Xiang frowned slightly, he was not naΓ―ve enough to believe the nonsense of these three people, three guys who didn't even dare to speak out loud in front of their masters, talking about who would inherit the martial arts hall?
When Duan Tianxing is dead? The three senior sisters don't exist?
Where to get the three of them to decide oh.
Even if it's 10,000 steps back.
These three people are indeed true, they want him to inherit the martial arts hall, but what does that have to do with Li Xiang.
In his previous life, with this kind of opportunity in front of him, he might be so happy that he would fly.
Such a large piece of land, such a large courtyard, if it can be inherited, wouldn't it be developed?
But nowβ
I'm sorry, but it's my favorite to break the shell, and everything else stands aside.
"I can't thank you enough for the kindness of several senior brothers, let's talk about it, let's talk about it."
Li Xiang replied extremely perfunctorily.
But all three could see that he was clearly refusing.
"Senior brother, think about it again! This is a martial arts hall! β
Lu Chengfeng stepped forward to persuade and gently pinched Li Xiang's back, "Look at it, is this bath comfortable?" β
What is the relationship between inheriting the martial arts hall and scrubbing?
"Let's talk when I'm free, talk when I'm free."
Li wanted to forcibly prop up his body, but he thought that these people had suddenly discovered their conscience.
A world where magical creatures like elves are the mainstream, don't be a trainer, and come back to inherit the martial arts hall and take on the responsibility of making it flourish?
Is he crazy or is the world crazy?
"Senior brother, don't be in a hurry to leave!"
Lu Chengfeng pressed Li Xiang back to the bathing table.
Li Xiang's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted without pain.
Angry, he immediately glared at Lu Chengfeng and said, "Are you here again?" My memories that were about to disappear are coming back! β
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he immediately smiled and retreated, "Just kidding, junior brother, don't be angry......"
Li Xiang slowly got up, "Okay, I'm very grateful to the three senior brothers for their help today." The skills of the senior brothers are very good, and I will definitely find an opportunity to thank them and say goodbye another day. β
With that, he walked under the shower, rinsed off the dirt off his body, and walked out with a towel around his waist.
Only three people were left looking at each other, full of chagrin.
They are still too anxious, if they can wait a little longer, when Li Xiang has a sense of belonging to the martial arts hall, maybe it will be successful.
"Alas......"
The three of them sighed in unison.
