"Fourth Uncle Huang, how am I practicing?" Yi Jiuxiao had just finished a set of punches, his head was steaming, and after collecting the punches, he picked up a sweat towel and wiped his forehead.

"Yes, yes, your hands and feet are pretty good, can you teach me?"

Huang Si was interested in Yi Jiuxiao's light skills, and the wall was overturned, but he didn't know that it was light skills, so he called it wall climbing technique. Huang Si has been grazing in the mountains all year round, and after natural exercise, his skills are also very athletic, but it is still very difficult for him to climb over such a high wall.

"Yes, Fourth Uncle Huang, as long as you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach you, but you are older and slow to learn?"

Since then, Huang Si has followed Yi Jiuxiao to learn martial arts, starting from the most basic horse steps, leg presses, standing piles, sandbags, and snatches. Yi Jiuxiao taught seriously, Huang Si studied diligently, and the originally boring winter had a vitality.

Huang Si is in his early forties, although the life expectancy of people in this world is longer, but after the age of forty, the bones and meridians have been developed, and it is much more difficult to learn martial arts. Even so, the effect of practicing is still obvious, after a month, Huang Si feels that his legs and feet are much more flexible, and his strength seems to have increased, so he is more interested in practicing martial arts.

The way of practicing martial arts is not only to study and practice diligently, to work hard day and night, but also to have correct training methods, in addition, supplements and medicine are indispensable. The first two are clear to most martial artists, and the latter one is not very well understood, Yi Jiuxiao is a child of a family, and there is no shortage of martial arts masters in the family, and he and several of his brothers have been nurtured since childhood.

When he was six years old, his father bought precious medicinal materials and made them into a medicinal liquid, allowing him to soak his body and have the effect of washing the essence and cutting the marrow and laying the foundation. In the later period, in the process of growing up, I continued to replenish some natural treasures, such as tiger bone wine, century-old mountain ginseng, etc., to nourish the body, so that practicing martial arts would get twice the result with half the effort.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there is a popular saying "poor literature and rich martial arts", practicing martial arts is a very expensive thing, and it is difficult for ordinary families to afford it, and it is much easier to read, buy a few classic books, find a small private school for enlightenment, and then you can study hard and study hard.

The current Yi Jiuxiao is a complete poor man, to put it bluntly, he is a little shepherd boy. Although life in the Huang family is not bad, you can eat enough food, and you can eat some fish and meat every few days, but it is a very luxurious thing to use good medicine to nourish.

If you want to succeed in martial arts and become a master of martial arts, nourishment is an indispensable link. Now I can't afford it, so I can only collect it myself, but fortunately, he is not a simple martial artist, in addition to practicing martial arts, he has also read poetry and books since he was a child, studied pharmacopoeia, and understands the formula of many tonic herbs.

Go to Luowu Mountain to collect medicine, Luowu Mountain is so big, except for the north slope, the rest of the place is high and densely forested, inaccessible, there should be precious medicinal materials, why not go in and look for it, when he told Huang Si the idea of picking medicine, Huang Si's head shook like a rattle.

"Don't go, the mountains are too dangerous, don't say you're still a child, even we adults don't dare to go in. ”

"I've seen people go to collect medicine, didn't they go in?" Yi Jiuxiao was reluctant to give up his thoughts.

"There were people who went, all adults, and three or five people went in groups, and they all went to collect on the outskirts of the forest. A few years ago, there were two young men who ventured into the mountains and never came out again. ”

Huang Si has been grazing in Luowu for many years, and he has heard a lot about what happened in the mountains, he is not to scare Yi Jiuxiao, but he is really afraid that he will have an accident.

"I'm also looking for it on the outskirts of the forest, and if I can't find it, I'll come back, Fourth Uncle Huang can't worry too much. ”

"If you really want to go, you must not go inside! I can't accompany you, the cattle and sheep have to be taken care of, be careful yourself." ”

Seeing that Yi Jiuxiao had made up his mind to go, Huang Si had no choice but to tell him repeatedly.

Early the next morning, Yi Jiuxiao set off. He carried a bamboo basket with water and dry food on his back, and carried a small hoe, which was used to dig medicine.

In the early spring, the weather is still cold, but the ice and snow have melted, the grass has secretly sprouted in the mountains, there is no cloud in the clear sky, and the morning sun shines on Yi Jiuxiao's energetic face without hesitation.

Under the eyes of Huang Si, Yi Jiuxiao climbed the north slope and strode towards the mountain, after winter, he was already twelve years old. It's a lot taller than when he was first reincarnated, and his body is much stronger, plus he practices martial arts every day, and his skills are not weaker than ordinary adults.

After the north slope, the mountain road suddenly becomes very rugged and winding, the narrow mountain path is overgrown with thorns and weeds, and after the baptism of winter snow, the grass and trees have withered, but still thickly covered the hillside, and the dying rhizomes are fangs and claws.

This is not a good season for collecting medicine, but Yi Jiuxiao can't help but be eager, hoping that he will have a good harvest. He searched patiently on both sides of the mountain road while walking, and the hard work paid off, and in half an hour, he found a eucommia, two gastrodia, and a Polygonum multiflori, which made him more confident, and there may be a better harvest in the depths.

Unconsciously, he walked more than ten miles, crossed two mountain peaks, and slowly approached the central area of the Luowu Mountain Range, the rugged mountain road gradually disappeared, surrounded by dense forests, Yi Jiuxiao remembered Huang Si's advice, and wanted to turn back.

Inadvertently, he saw a field notoginseng, a burst of joy overcame fear, there are even field ginseng here, will there be wild ginseng? After picking field ginseng, he decided to go one step deeper, this dark and mysterious forest is full of temptation for him, to pick good medicine must go to the depths, there are often people on the periphery to pick, there will not be too many good things. He tightened his belt, put the small medicine hoe in the basket, unsheathed it, held it in his hand, and went on.

It didn't take long for him to find a few more strains of Polygonatum and several other medicines. Yi Jiuxiao thought to himself, this Luowu Mountain is really a big natural medicine garden, there are not only many varieties of herbs, but also good quality, it seems that you will often go into the mountain to pick in the future, not only can you take it yourself, but you can also make pills and sell them to others.

Just as he was looking forward to the future, suddenly, the surroundings fell silent, and the birds in the branches and the insects in the grass stopped chirping. Yi Jiuxiao was born as a military general, and he felt so keen, knowing that a fierce beast was coming, he immediately rushed to a big tree beside him, hugged the big tree and climbed up.

In a few breaths, the fishy wind blew in his nose, and an adult colorful tiger pounced on the place where he was standing, and the grass and trees in the ground fell and the gravel flew wildly.

Yi Jiuxiao was frightened into a cold sweat, if he hadn't reacted quickly, I am afraid that he would have become the mouth of the tiger. If it was a tiger before turning around, he would not be afraid at all, but now he is just a hairy child, a wolf can barely cope with it, and he has no resistance in the face of the tiger.

The danger was not lifted, Yi Jiuxiao desperately climbed up to the canopy, this tree was more than a foot thick, more than five zhang high, and the top branches were dense, like a giant umbrella. Such a thick tree can fully carry the weight of a human and will not be broken by a tiger.

After climbing to a height of three zhang, Yi Jiuxiao stopped climbing, sat on a thick branch and gasped, his eyes looking down at the tiger. The tiger also raised his head to look at Yi Jiuxiao, a man and a tiger looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly the tiger was ferocious, with bared teeth, a grinning mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards the bottom of the tree.

I saw that the tiger hugged the trunk of the tree with its two front paws, and kicked on the ground with its two hind paws and climbed up. Although the speed is not fast, it is not slower than Yi Jiuxiao, and it looks like it is about to catch up.

Yi Jiuxiao thought to himself: My life is at stake, this tiger is on a bar with me today, you don't eat such beasts in the mountains, and I don't have much meat on me. What should I do? I can't sit still, Yi Jiuxiao was in a hurry, relying on his light body, stood up, grabbed a branch, swayed, and jumped onto an adjacent tree.

"Roar...", with a long roar, the tiger went into a frenzy, jumped off the trunk, and climbed towards the tree where Yi Jiuxiao was standing. So repeatedly, one person and one tiger fought, Yi Jiuxiao was like a monkey, jumping from one branch to another, the tiger chased from this trunk to another trunk, in a panic, Yi Jiuxiao's back basket, medicine hoe, and sharp knife all fell under the tree, becoming bare-handed.

The mountains are full of trees, and the top foliage is so dense that they are almost connected, so it is not difficult to jump from tree to tree. The tiger seemed to be tired, and even climbed more than a dozen trees, but it couldn't bear it, so it simply stopped climbing, and looked at Yi Jiuxiao under the tree, as if to say: "Boy, I'll see if you can come down." ”

Yi Jiuxiao didn't dare to come down, he continued to jump forward after a short rest on the canopy, occasionally met two fruit trees, picked a few fruits and ate them to replenish his strength, and threw the fruit core under the tree and smashed it at the tiger to relieve his anger. In this way, Yi Jiuxiao didn't know how many times he jumped on the tree, and suddenly found that he was close to the edge of this forest.
