The stars alternate, and the cold goes to spring. More than a month has passed since Chinese New Year's Eve, and in addition to practicing the increasingly advanced sword art, the lifting technique performed by several people with mutual assistance has also begun to join the new training at this time.

From the beginning of this new practice, the young people realized that not all the bamboo was used to build a foundation, and not all the bamboo that was cut down was used to burn wood or make bamboo tubes for drinking water. In this new practice, the bamboo pole is an indispensable cultivation tool for everyone.

In the bamboo forest.

I saw several teenagers in a group, one of them first tied the middle of the bamboo pole horizontally to his waist with a rope, stood facing a stone wall, and walked up horizontally with his feet along the stone wall. At first, the two steps were taken by the person walking on the wall, and when he was about to lose his center of gravity and fall, the two people standing next to him immediately reached out and grabbed the bamboo pole tightly around the left and right, and forcefully supported the bamboo pole around the man's waist. At this time, the person who just walked against the wall was supported by gravity and was not controlled by his body, so he could only kick the wall and go up again, and when he reached the highest point where the two stretched out their hands, the two people threw the pole up with force, and the person turned over and fell from the air. Each person goes back and forth three times, and then the next person is replaced. After a group of people have all been replaced, the pole is placed between the two walls about 3 feet above the ground, and one person crosses the pole again, as if walking on a high pole in juggling. In Mushan's words, this practice is to practice the skills of the teenagers to lift the body and lighten the body, and the second is to strengthen the arm strength when holding the pole. At the beginning of the study, most people can only walk two steps, at most three steps, and after more than ten years, some teenagers with slightly less qualified qualifications can walk on the wall as many as five or six steps without the help of others. Walking on the high pole, the height has been raised to a height of one zhang after half a month.

In the past month, all the bruises on Zhi Ning's body have dissipated, but no matter how Hongdou and Shen Shiyi tempted them, Zhi Ning only deduced that he didn't pay attention to his feet that night and accidentally slipped down the slope. Fortunately, these two people didn't see anyone else when they arrived, although they were skeptical of what Zhi Ning said, but they slowly forgot about it as Zhi Ning got better day by day, and they didn't ask anymore.

It is worth mentioning. Twenty days ago, the old man of Mushan thought that Zhi Ning would not be able to cut down twenty-five bamboos no matter what, and he was about to send Mu Ling to tell Zhi Ning that he could follow everyone to practice the art of lifting the longitudinal technique every day after cutting down the bamboo. Who knew that Zhi Ning would deliver all the twenty-five bamboos to Mu Ling that day. The old man Mushan was really surprised. It turned out that these ten days were only used to recuperate, and as early as Chinese New Year's Eve, Ningbian had been able to cut down twenty-five bamboos.

It's a pity that Zhi Ning's martial arts qualifications are indeed average, and in order to catch up with the missing time in front of him as soon as possible. Since following the practice of Ti Zongju, Zhi Ning is the one who has dropped the most times from bamboo poles and walls. Seven days ago, the high pole has risen to one zhang two, Zhi Ning walked the pole when her feet slipped and almost fell from the air to the ground, fortunately she had the experience of falling last time, and at the moment of falling, she grabbed the bamboo pole in the air with her right hand, until several people in a cold sweat below raised their hands and shouted before they picked her down. At this point, several people in the Zhining group set a rule, and the mute girl would come first in the daily practice, in case she had an accident first, everyone would still have the strength to save her.

Zhi Ning knew that he was a bit of a drag on everyone in the group, so he practiced harder, and every day in addition to the morning exercises, he also built a high pole on the outer wall of the firewood room and between the trees outside the courtyard after the evening class. fell again and again, and the black green all over Zhi Ning's body, she held her thin body and gritted her teeth and persevered in the practice and falls. After practicing, although Zhi Ning could not walk like a fly in high places such as trees and eaves, he was as light as a swallow. The art of lifting the longitudinal is also much higher than that of ordinary warriors in the rivers and lakes.

"Sister Yun, I heard that the dumb and seems to have suddenly opened her mind recently, and the general indulgence technique has surpassed that red bean, and in three days it will be the period of competition stipulated by the hall master, do we have to guard against her?" Yin Yuan called Li Yunlan affectionately, since Chinese New Year's Eve, the relationship between these people seems to be much closer than before.

In the room, Li Yunlan heard Yin Yuan speak, and snorted lightly: "Prevent her? That has only been studying for less than a month, don't say that she is stupid and stupid, but she is talented and can cultivate geometry? That's why you see her as an adversary. ”

"But she ...... that night" Yin Yuan saw that Li Yunlan didn't seem to put Zhi Ning in her eyes at all, and said in a hurry in her heart.

"What night, after this half-month of cultivation, it is easy for me to deal with her, and I still need Sister Yunlan to deal with her?" Go and go out, what kind of heart do you blindly follow, Qiao'er watched Yin Yuan talking about Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Yunlan's face immediately became gloomy, immediately interrupted Yin Yuan's speech, and then coaxed several people out.

Qiao'er watched the other people go out, then went in and closed the door, and when she turned to look at Li Yunlan, she saw Li Yunlan sitting at the table alone and gritting her teeth fiercely, not noticing that there were only two of her in the room. Qiao'er sighed secretly in her heart, took two steps forward and sat on a wooden bench with Li Yunlan, and slowly patted her left hand on Li Yunlan's shoulder.

"Sister Yunlan, can't you forget the night of Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Li Yunlan, who had just been silent in her memories, suddenly heard Qiao'er speak, her face was shocked, and she said hard: "What Chinese New Year's Eve, I have long forgotten everything, you don't mention these things to me in the future." ”

Hearing Li Yunlan say, Qiao'er chuckled lightly: "Sister Yunlan, you are just hard-mouthed, where are we still, they were just coaxed out by me, and only the two of us sisters are left here." ”

"Oh?" Listening to Qiao'er's words, Li Yunlan looked around like waking up from a dream, and sure enough, there were only two of them left in the room.

"Sister Yunlan, you and my sisters don't need to hide it anymore, if you have any concerns, just say it and listen to the little sister. Last night, in my dream, my little sister heard you shouting that you want to fight, what are you going to kill, the Shen family is full of doors. ”

"How can I talk nonsense, last night, last night...... I. Li Yunlan said

"Sister, don't talk about this yet, this time the art is as the hall master said, and the person who wins the championship can take a copy of himself like the Wood Spirit Venerable. Sister, aren't you impressed by this? Qiao'er deliberately lowered her voice and said to Li Yunlan.

"Motivation is motivation, but with my strength, there are still many strong opponents on the side of the man in the first room, how can this sect achieve his wish with my strength?"

"Hehe, it's good that my sister has a heart in her heart, as far as my little sister knows, the department where the man on our island is located is the spy shadow department led by the Wood Spirit Venerable. And the place where the hall master said that there is still a lack of respect is the Buwu department that leads my woman. Sister, think about it, if you let a man be the head of the department, how will you lead a group of our women in the future. That is to say, the elder sister only needs to rank high among the women in the art to be very likely to be selected by the hall master. As for this woman, the martial arts of my sister among the dozens of us are outstanding, and it shouldn't be difficult to win the championship, but, just. ”

"Just what, you say?" Li Yunlan was deeply shocked by what Qiao'er had just said at this time, and when she saw her at this moment, she immediately became anxious in her heart.

"It's just that the cheap maid surnamed Shen and the red bean martial arts next to her are not much weaker than your sister, sister, you still need to be careful that the two of them are, in case they take the radical, we won't have a good time in the future."

"yes, if I happen to be facing the two of them in a row, it will be a little bad." After listening to Qiao'er's words, Li Yunlan's face suddenly became sad, and she muttered.

Suddenly, Li Yunlan seemed to have figured out something, grabbed Qiao'er's arm beside her and said, "Qiao'er, you have told me so much, you must have thought of some way to solve this matter for me, quickly, tell me quickly." ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Qiao'er's eyes, and she slowly said to Li Yunlan: "Sister Yunlan, my little sister mentioned this matter to you to give you ideas, but my little sister also has a reluctant request to say before talking, I hope you can help my little sister after the matter is completed." ”

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Sister Yunlan, the little sister knows that the cultivation of martial arts is not your opponent, so she doesn't dare to ask for the position of the Zun Ministry, I just ask you to help the little sister find someone after you take the position, and the little sister will definitely help you sit in the position of the Wu Zun Department at this step."

"Looking for someone? There is still someone on this island that you need to find, which boy is that? ”

"Uh...... Oh, sister, are you helping me? Hearing what Li Yunlan said, Qiao'er, who was stunned for a while, immediately said to her shyly.

"Okay, okay, I agreed, don't say that you helped me sit on the throne of the ministry, but you didn't help me, just by virtue of your help me today, I will definitely help you find this person." Li Yunlan replied affirmatively.

"Sister Yun, I've been observing for a long time in the past few days, we just need to ......" As she spoke, Qiao'er looked vigilantly around the room, and said in Li Yunlan's ear.

I saw Li Yunlan listen to it for a long time, and then said with some hesitation: "What if I meet the man's rival tomorrow?" ”。

"Alas, Sister Yunlan, I'm a good person to the end, I'll go to find someone familiar with my room later and let him help you eliminate some strong opponents when he falls." Qiao'er stroked her forehead and whispered.
