"Whoa! That's where you live. ”

"......" Xi Xue looked at his so-called "residence" and was speechless for a while, "Senior sister, you're not joking?" This...... Is it [residence]? ”

"Haha! Go, go, go. That's how everybody came over. Good night's sleep tonight. Shen Hongtu looked at the time, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon." I'll come to you tomorrow morning. You have to be mentally prepared. I'm going to you sweaty, sister. ”

After speaking, she patted Xi Ze's shoulder, "haha" and left with a laugh.

"...... Sweaty? Xi Xue looked at Shen Hongtu's back and shook his head slightly, this senior sister was really arrogant, and then he turned around and looked at his "residence".

At the foot of Xi Xue is the abyss. At the bottom of the cliff is a rumbling and turbulent river. An arm-thick chain connects the two sides of the cliff. And this chain, to be exact, is the low-hanging section in the middle of the chain. The wind in the canyon between the cliffs was very strong, and the chains that blew swayed and kept ringing.

Xi Ze stretched out his foot and stepped on the chain, trying his best to maintain his balance before taking the second step. But at this time, a strong wind blew the chains violently, and Xi Xue suddenly fell sideways, and he could only hook the chains with his feet in time so as not to fall off the cliff.

Climbing the cliff again, Xi Ze muttered a few words, "Eliminate distractions, maintain balance", and then took a second step. However, this time he had only taken three steps, and the chains were blown by the wind again, causing him to lose his balance again.

For Xi Ze, if the chains are not moving, it is easy for him to maintain balance. However, the chains under his feet were blown to and fro by the wind, and there was no regularity at all, and the difficulty suddenly increased by more than 10,000 times.

Xi Xue tried several times before and after, but it didn't work, but it made him irritable. Still with the tenacity of his will, the successive defeats still upset him a little. In the end, he didn't bother to leave, and crawled directly to the middle of the chain.

The place shook violently, and Xi Xuan's body was thrown around.

"How do I want to rest?" Xi Xue hung on the chain like a sloth, with a sad face.

As it turned out, there was no way to rest at all. In this way, Xi Xue didn't close his eyes at all this night. Hung on the chain and dangled for more than ten hours. The next morning, Shen Hongtu came to the edge of the cliff on time. For Xi Ze, it doesn't matter if he doesn't rest for a night, but not only does he not have a rest for a night, but he also dangles around, which is really a great torment for his body and mind, so his face still shows tiredness.

Shen Hongtu smiled: "Haha, I knew you must not have a good rest." Xi Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, is this my first lesson?" "The first lesson of the outer courtyard is "refining piles", what kind of name will the first lesson of the inner courtyard be?

Shen Hongtu said: "Of course not. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Before you start class, you should fill your stomach. By the way, there is no cafeteria in the inner courtyard. All the food should be found on your own. See the river below the cliffs? There's a kind of fish there, and the meat is quite delicious. There is also a kind of [Overlord Rabbit] with more tender flesh in the forest, and one is enough for you to eat for a day. ”

"Okay, then Senior Sister Lao is waiting for a while."

The so-called "Overlord Rabbit" is really worthy of the name "Overlord", and its overall body size is similar to that of rabbits on the earth, but it is the size of an elephant. The bounce is amazing, jumping hundreds of meters, very alert. In order to catch a "overlord rabbit", Xi Xue used all his strength to eat. But sure enough, as Shen Hongtu said, the meat of this overlord rabbit is simply superb, and it doesn't need to put any seasonings, it just needs to be roasted over fire to be a top-notch delicacy.

Xi Xue ate and drank to his heart's content, and when he returned to the edge of the cliff, he saw Shen Hongtu standing on the chain, carving with his head down. Xi Ze's eyes were awe-inspiring. The chains still shook regularly and disorderly, but Shen Hongtu wanted to stand on the ground, standing steadily on the chains, as if he had merged with the chains.

"Coming back?" Shen Hongtu raised his head, and with a turn of the carving knife in his hand, he put it into the knife bag on his waist, "Here you go!" It's a welcome gift from my senior sister. As he spoke, he threw the statue in his hand to Xi Xue. Xi Xue caught it with his hand, and saw that the carved one was himself, like a miniature version of a real person, and even the hair was clearly visible.

"Senior sister is really amazing!" Xi Xue sighed sincerely, "Little brother, thank you for the gift, I will definitely treasure it." ”

Shen Hongtu walked over from the chain steadily, and said, "Then, let's start your first lesson in entering the inner door now." Xi Ze said: "Wait a minute. Senior sister, may I ask what is the trick of walking and standing on chains? ”

Shen Hongtu said: "Trick? No. There's no trick to everything. Of course, maybe there are tricks. Isn't the so-called martial arts the trick that people constantly summarize in martial arts? ”

Martial arts is a fighting trick that people keep summarizing? This is really a direct reference to the essence of "martial arts".

I only heard Shen Hongtu continue: "How to stand on this chain, walk, and even sleep without falling, this needs to be summarized by yourself." Of course I have my way, but my way may not work for you. So, take your time and figure it out for yourself. Senior sister is still very optimistic about you! ”

“……”

The place where Shen Hongtu taught Xi Xue was a waterhole. The waterhole is not large, that is, about three meters in diameter, on a huge stone block, with obvious traces of artificial digging. Pointing to the pool, Shen Hongtu said, "Sit at the bottom of the pool." Your first lesson is to stir this pool of water with your martial veins to form a whirlpool. Xi Xue said: "Stir the water with a martial vein? That's not ...... Need to link water with a martial vein? But water is invisible, how to connect? ”

Shen Hongtu said: "Water is not formless, but its shape and tiny, understand? ”

"Senior sister, you mean, link water molecules?"

"Water molecules?" Shen Hongtu had some impressions of this term, "What you want to link is the smallest particle that makes up water." In other words, only when you link a part of the water particles in the pool, control them, and create a rotating force can you stir up the pool to form a whirlpool. ”

“…… All right! "Just thinking about it can tell you how hard it is.

Shen Hongtu said: "Senior sister will give you a thorough explanation." It took ten days for the senior brother, nine days for me, and only five days for the third junior brother. Little brother, I wish you early success! Senior sister is optimistic about you. ”

Xi Xue said: "Senior sister, there must be some tricks to this, right?" Shen Hongtu said: "You guy, you are very anxious. Truth be told, there's still no trick. I've already taught you how to do it, and it's up to you to do it. If you have to say that there is a trick, it is probably the seven words [calm mind and no distractions]. ”

"Peace of mind and no distractions? It's as simple as that? ”

Shen Hongtu said: "Simple? Since you think it's simple, then I have nothing to say, senior sister. Senior sister, I wish you early success. After speaking, Shen Hongtu waved his hand and left.

"Senior sister, can I ask, why do you want to do such training?"

Shen Hongtu didn't look back, and said, "After you do it, you will naturally know." If you can't do it, it's no good to know. ”

Xi Zemu saw Shen Hongtu leave, retracted his gaze and put it on the waterhole, looked left and right to see that there was no one, simply stripped naked, took a deep breath, and jumped into the waterhole with a bang. The waterhole was about two meters deep, and Xi Ze drowned in it. Sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, Xi Ze began to devote himself to a state of concentration and entered a semi-meditative state.

Then, when the spiritual power tentacles reached out, although Xi Xue "saw" the surging water, there was no way to link it at all. The reason is very simple, the tentacles of spiritual power are too thick, and the water molecules are too small to be touched at all, so how can they be linked? It's not difficult to come up with a way, since the spiritual power tentacles are too thick, can't you make it thinner? But it's one thing to know, but it's incredibly difficult to do.

Half an hour later, Xi Xue's breath was consumed, and he had to float to the surface for ventilation.

"That is, I have to complete the link before the oxygen is depleted, or else it will fall short?" The difficulty seems to be a little more difficult than expected. But fortunately, Xi has never been afraid of difficulties. In his concept, as long as you work hard, there is nothing difficult in this world. And he has exactly that resilience and persistence.

Taking a deep breath again, Xi Xue jumped into the pool again.

Time passes in the process of exploring and trying little by little. At the end of the day, although there was no substantial gain and progress, it was not without results. At the very least, Xi Xue has shrunk his spiritual power tentacles to one-eighth of the original. It really took a lot of effort on his part.

At dinner, Xi chose to catch an unknown creature and deal with it. Returning to the so-called "residence", Xi Ze spread his hands and complained "what can I do", but he still took a step and stepped on the chain. This time, Xi Xue was not in a hurry to climb to the middle of the chain, but planned to start from the edge of the cliff first, and then get closer to the middle little by little. At least close to the cliff, he could barely walk two steps without the wind blowing the chains.

In fact, the skills and tricks of how to stand on the chain have been figured out, which is to keenly perceive the movement of the chain, and the direction of the wind, and adjust the center of gravity of the body in time, and always maintain the balance of the body. It's so simple and lightweight, but it's so hard to do. The force of the wind blowing the chains is uncertain, and the amplitude of the chains shaking is also uncertain, and there is no pattern at all. The choice must react the moment the chains change.

And all this is honed in the ability to control the body, which is more difficult to hone than the "tempering pile".

If the "boiling pile" is about absolute stillness, then the "chain bridge" is about continuous movement. This lesson in the Zangfeng Martial Arts Gym really contains deep meaning and mystery in every one. It's no wonder that the number of people recruited by the Zangfeng Martial Arts Hall is the smallest among the four major martial arts halls, but it can still rank first among the four major martial arts halls, because those who can really go out of the Zangfeng Martial Arts Hall are the elites of the elite!

This night, Xi chose not to sleep peacefully. But he had already taken ten steps on the chain and was able to barely keep his body balanced. This is obviously a huge step forward.

The next day, after a hearty meal, Xi Zexian practiced meditation for more than three hours before coming to the waterhole to begin today's practice.
