Chapter 18: Passing Away
Time flies, time flies, and three years pass in the blink of an eye.
Fang Yuan has grown from thirteen to sixteen, Ma Bu has also been rooted for three years, and he has also practiced basic boxing for three years, and now the foundation has finally been laid, and it is very solid.
This year also came to Fang Yuan's second medicinal bath.
Time has quietly entered the cold winter, and the school has been closed, so he has plenty of time.
On this day, according to the master's requirements, Fang Yuan first practiced martial arts and boxing, fought until he was exhausted, ate a full meal, and lay down on the bed for a while, and then soaked in the medicine barrel for a medicinal bath.
"Whew~~"
Fang Yuan let out a long breath, the aroma of the medicine on the tip of his nose was lingering, he emptied his spirit, didn't think about it, and quietly waited for the medicinal bath to be completed.
"Thoughts are empty, and I don't think about them. In order to better absorb the medicinal power, after this medicinal bath, your muscles and bones will not be able to exert strength, just like last time, I will first loosen your muscles and bones, improve your strength, and then you will go out to practice boxing with me. β
"In this way, we can make the most use of the power of the medicine and learn the new stage of boxing by the way."
Master Xu was still guarding by his side, Fang Yuan nodded, did not gnaw, and quietly absorbed the medicinal power.
"Okay, the medicinal strength has also been absorbed, and you can get up."
Time passed slowly, three hours passed in the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan's body was still weak, but fortunately, Master Xu kept to the side, scooped him up, and pinched the muscles and bones on it fiercely.
"Let's go, go to the backyard, I'll teach you the last thing left of Crane Fist!"
Master Xu's voice sounded in his ears, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed.
"Although I have been letting you practice the basics every day over the years, in fact, the essence of my crane boxing has been exhausted here, and what I haven't taught at this time is only the use of strength, and the use of soft strength and heavy strength."
Coming to the backyard, Master Xu pointed to the deep pit that had been dug in the ground, and the two small pits that Fang Yuan stepped on on the ground, and said with a chuckle.
"Now, Master will teach you the final essence of Crane Fist, the two strengths of softness and weight!"
Fang Yuan looked at it with a serious face on the side, Master Xu has always taught things first, and then guided, and this time is no exception.
"Softness, take the softness of the crane body, not blindly soft, but rigid and soft."
Master Xu played the crane fist, and between the dancing of his body, there was an indescribable artistic conception in the embodiment.
"And the strength is to take the strength of the crane's beak, although the crane is usually soft, but when hunting fish, the crane's beak is extremely fast when attacking......"
As he fought, the strength of Master Xu's body changed abruptly, from soft to rigid, and every move was filled with a fierce atmosphere.
"When you have completed the practice of rigidity and softness, this crane fist will be completed, and the remaining light skills and moves, whatever you want, as long as you can hit people, you can have an effect."
After fighting back and forth a few times, Xu Daochang put away his boxing and said seriously to Fang Yuan, who was carefully observing and studying on the side.
"Of course, now you have to start with the moves, if the moves want to produce power, they must rely on the strength, but if the strength wants to be realized, it must also be comprehended through the moves, and only when the moves are well played, can you experience these two changes in strength."
"The two seem to be one light and one heavy, but in fact they are one, you have to seriously experience the light and heavy, but you must also be familiar with the changes in your moves."
After beating several times in a row, Master Xu began to let Fang Yuan fight by himself, watching and teaching by himself.
If it is an ordinary apprentice, it must be taught slowly one move at a time.
But for this apprentice of his own............
Xu Daochang looked at Fang Yuan, who played decently in every move and style, and felt that he was really a good master, at least he did a good job of teaching him according to his aptitude!
For the whole day today, Daoist Xu was pointing on the sidelines, staring at Fang Yuan practicing his moves.
It wasn't until sunset that Daochang Xu nodded with satisfaction.
Fang Yuan learned very quickly, and this apprentice did not disappoint him!
"The so-called master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, now that your foundation has been solidified, you will completely remember the moves today, and the future practice will depend on your own."
"But remember, the basic exercises that should be carried out every day, especially the light skills that you have already achieved, cannot be left behind."
"You have to remember that moves are dead, strength is alive, and people are alive."
"As a martial arts master, I will leave everything I can teach to you, and it is up to you how far you can go in the future!"
In the night, Xu Daochang's distant voice echoed in the air, and Fang Yuan followed him half a step behind and walked into the dining hall to have dinner.
"Master, you're done teaching Senior Brother!"
A childish voice sounded from the hall, but it was the little brother who was playing in the hall who saw the two masters and apprentices who had returned.
Xu Shichang looked at the senior brother who came back with the master, and his eyes immediately lit upββββSenior brother is back, he can listen to Guo Jing's story!"
"That kid is so stupid, he can become so powerful, I'm so smart, as long as I am willing to work hard in the future, I will definitely become better than him...... It's as good as him! β
The little junior brother's eyes were shining, and he couldn't see what kind of wonderful activities were going on in his heart.
Xu Daochang glanced at his newly adopted disciple, according to the generation of the Quanzhen lineage, he is a disciple of the Shizi generation, named Changzi, and hopes that he can prosper with his lineage.
Staying up all night hurts his body, he has to keep an eye on it later, lest the little doll be ignorant and don't know how to go back to sleep late at night.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
From that day on, Master Xu's days of staring at Fang Yuan's martial arts practice had decreased, but Fang Yuan still continued his previous state of hard work.
The basic and light exercises necessary every morning, the holes in the yard are getting deeper as he grows taller, but they still can't hinder him, and it's easy to jump in and out every day.
After these kung fu practice is the practice of moves, when Xu Daochang practiced crane boxing, the external manifestation of light and heavy strength has long been deeply remembered by him, he believes that as long as he understands carefully, he will be able to practice the essence of this crane boxing.
In this refinement, six months passed in the blink of an eye, and after the cold winter passed, Fang Yuan was one year older.
And in the summer of this year, during the summer vacation, a carriage galloping from Yefu brought very bad news to the master and apprentice on the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.
"What, Hua Shun he...... Let's go? β
"Immortal Chief, I left late yesterday night, and I was only discovered by my disciples this morning."
The little guy who reported the news bowed deeply and said carefully.
Xu Daochang's body shook, and as soon as Fang Yuan wanted to help, he stood up by himself.
"Quick, take me to see it!"
"Ah Yuan, you follow me, I am close friends with Hua Shun, I have to go and see how he died!"
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Huashun and Xu Fajing are close friends, and it is conceivable how big a blow to Xu Fajing was after the death of the best friend.
Fang Yuan didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly complied, then stepped forward, helped the master, whose hair was a little gray unconsciously, and got into the carriage that came from the messenger and galloped towards Foshan City.
