Chapter 16: The Secret Medicine, Horse Steps

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi, the master said to let you go back to the room after eating!"

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, he saw a little kid with a greasy mouth running in from outside the door, and the other party said loudly.

"Okay, I got it!"

Glancing at this little kid who was only three or four years old, Fang Yuan nodded, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief after washing, and Fang Yuan hurriedly rushed to the room.

The little junior brother, that is, the little kid who just shouted Fang Yuan, had already gone out to play, so naturally he didn't need Fang Yuan to pay more attention.

But Fang Yuan, after rushing back to the room, he saw a large sealed wooden barrel in the room.

"Lie in bed and sleep for two hours."

Fang Yuan was watching, Xu Daochang's voice came from outside the door, he hurriedly turned around to look, and Xu Daochang, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, appeared outside the door at some point.

"Yes, Master!"

I can't help but listen to what the master said, besides, Fang Yuan had just eaten to his heart's content, although it was morning at this time, he suddenly wanted to sleep, hearing Xu Daochang say this, Fang Yuan immediately nodded, took off his shoes, lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

After Fang Yuan fell asleep, Xu Daochang moved a bench and sat down in the room, quietly waiting for the passage of time.

…………

Maybe it was because he was full, Fang Yuan slept exceptionally comfortably this night, feeling warm all over his body, and his bones seemed to have a tingling feeling.

Normally, Fang Yuan would sleep for forty or fifty minutes at most, but this time he slept for two hours before being woken up by Master Xu, who had been guarding the bedside.

"Okay, I've slept and refreshed, go take a shower in the basin!"

As Xu Daochang spoke, he pulled Fang Yuan up, he was still in a daze and didn't wake up completely, so he was undressed and thrown into a slightly hot barrel.

As soon as his nose inhaled slightly, the rich medicinal fragrance came to his face, and it didn't take long for Fang Yuan's face to become a little drunk.

"Relax, don't be nervous, don't stretch your body!"

Master Xu's calm voice came from his ears, and although Fang Yuan was a little stunned and stunned, he also hurriedly adjusted his state, relaxed his control over his body, and loosened his muscles.

"Well, that's it, stay honest in it, remember, you must not think about it."

Master Xu, who was standing by the big wooden barrel, nodded with satisfaction, and after the other party told him from afar, he stopped talking, and just stood quietly by the side.

Fang Yuan adjusted his state according to his master's wishes, hollowed his mind, relaxed his muscles, and quietly soaked in the big wooden bucket of water.

This bubble lasted for three hours, during which time hot water was added several times to keep the water in the barrel at a temperature.

After the water cooled down for the last time, Master Xu, who had been standing next to him, finally spoke.

"Alright, come out!"

Listening to the voice, Fang Yuan wanted to stand up, but found that his body was a little weak for a while, but the next moment, a pair of large and powerful hands pulled him out of the barrel.

After being fished out, before Fang Yuan could make a move, Master Xu wrapped him in a bath towel and began to wipe him.

"Well, it's okay, go out with me and continue to learn how to walk."

Master Xu rubbed it very hard, to be precise, Fang Yuan felt that his bones and tendons had been pinched by him, this was the end, after wiping, Master Xu said to Fang Yuan.

"Oh, yes, Master!"

Fang Yuan was stunned, then nodded hurriedly, endured the pinched and somewhat painful body, got dressed in a hurry, and followed Master Xu to the courtyard.

…………

"This time, you take a closer look and see if the muscle in my body is mobilized, and where the tendons are working."

Xu Daochang directly took off his shirt this time, and tied up his horse again, Fang Yuan was stunned, and hurriedly watched carefully.

Master Xu seems to be exerting force in a special way, so some of the muscles and big tendons on his back have been beating and bulging, and Fang Yuan, who has learned the muscles and bones with Master Xu since he was a child, knows at a glance which place is exerting force.

"I see, Master!"

Fang Yuan showed a sudden expression, and then hurriedly ran to Xu Daochang, took off his shirt, and after recalling for a while, he slowly took a horse step.

"Well, that's good!"

Xu Fajing nodded, stared at the muscles on Fang Yuan's body twice, and then stood up.

"Here, here, here, we all have to exert force, and our muscles and muscles must be mobilized."

Master Xu pinched three places on Fang Yuan's body in a row, pinching the muscles, frontal tendons and veins in those three places with a faint pain, but it was within the scope of tolerance.

"Yes, master!"

Fang Yuan agreed, and hurriedly mobilized the three pinched muscles and bones that were somewhat painful, and successfully mobilized them in just one pass.

"Well, you won't have to carry water in the next three years, horse walking is the top priority, you must practice well!"

"I will watch you practice every day until you finish practicing!"

Master Xu finally nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely practice hard!"

Fang Yuan nodded his head vigorously, his body remained motionless, maintaining the most standard posture he could achieve so far.

After coming out of the barrel, even if he was pinched by Master Xu, Fang Yuan still had a feeling that he didn't have much energy in his body, and it was precisely because of the numbness of the muscles in his legs that he could quickly put on the correct posture without feeling uncomfortable.

It's just that to Fang Yuan's surprise, he obviously felt that he didn't seem to have much strength on his body, but Ma Buzhu stood until it was dark as soon as he stood up!

"At noon, I soaked you in my secret medicine, this time it can be enough for you for three years, and after three years, you will take the next medicinal bath, and I will change it to medicinal food for you every day from now on."

"In the past three years, I will teach you all the basic moves except for pile gong, and after three years, I will teach you all the essence of crane boxing, this is all I can do, how far I can go in the future depends on yourself!"

It was dark, and it was time to finish eating, Master Xu patted Fang Yuan's head and left first.

"Whew~"

Seeing that Master Xu was gone, Fang Yuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put away his horse steps and stood up from the ground.

In this era, every master is very conscientious, and conscientiousness means strictness, so although he knows that Master Xu likes his apprentice, he has never exceeded the rules that should be followed.

He is far away, but he has always been an honest and good boy!

After standing for a whole night, although Fang Yuan's body still had the same feeling of lack of energy as when he first stood there.

But this feeling has lasted for a whole day, and he naturally doesn't care, but the pile that has been standing for so long makes him a little tired, short, tired.

"I seem to have forgotten to eat at noon!"

Walking towards the dining hall, Fang Yuan touched his stomach, and was a little stunned to find that his hunger was not heavy.

"It seems that the secret medicine of the master and the master is really magical!"

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurried to the dining hall again and again, took his own food, opened it and took a closer look, there were some pieces of medicinal herbs in it, and it was really another medicinal meal.

"It's good to have money at home!"

Looking at the medicinal food in front of him, Fang Yuan unconsciously squinted his eyes happily, picked up a large piece of chicken, and swallowed it in a big gulp.

…………

In this era, industry has risen, but in the Taoist temple outside the city, there is still no entertainment at night, Fang Yuan only walked around after eating, eliminating food, moving muscles and bones, and then returned to the room to sleep, ending the day.
