Section 7: Cultivating the flesh and breaking the bottleneck by treading the waves

The more Zheng Kezang can't find a way to break through the bottleneck of "Shadow Legs", the more he can't let go, and he has already gotten into the tip of the horns and can't extricate himself! Fortunately, Liu Guoxuan keenly discovered this situation, and immediately ordered Zheng Kezang to rest for a few days, forbidding him to practice martial arts during this period. For this reason, two personal soldiers were specially sent to supervise Zheng Kezang. You must know that in the past three years, Liu Guoxuan has also asked Zheng Kezang countless times not to push himself too hard, to know the combination of work and rest, and to rest when it is time to rest, speaking of which, if there is an apprentice who does not work hard, the master will be angry with him, but if there is a person who works too hard, the master has to worry about his body, which may be the so-called happiness trouble. Every time at this time, Zheng Kezang always promised to be good in person, and when he turned his head, he let himself relax and continue to practice hard. Liu Guoxuan naturally knew about Zheng Kezang's approach, but the apprentice worked so hard, what else could he ask for as a master, although he was distressed, he didn't force it anymore. But this time was different, Liu Guoxuan was afraid that Zheng Kezang would be in danger of going mad if he continued to drill the horns like this, so he had to forcibly prohibit him from practicing martial arts, rest for a few days, and send someone to supervise.

In this regard, Zheng Kezang was helpless, but his heart was warm, of course he could understand Liu Guoxuan's painstaking efforts, although he did not think much of Liu Guoxuan's worries in his heart, but he was still extremely grateful. After thinking about it again and again, Zheng Kezang finally decided to follow Liu Guoxuan's arrangement, not because of the personal supervision of these two personal guards, but because he really didn't want to disobey his master's orders and live up to Liu Guoxuan's kindness. Moreover, Liu Guoxuan's decision also sounded a wake-up call for Zheng Kezang, although Zheng Kezang didn't think that he would really go crazy, but he also understood that it would be useless to continue to drill the horns like this, and it would not solve the actual problem.

Zheng Kezang, who was suddenly idle, was shocked to find that he didn't know what to do except practice. It stands to reason that he has been away from home for so long, he should go back to see, speaking of which, Zheng Kezang has really not returned to Yanping County for half a year, and in the past three years, Zheng Kezang has rarely gone back except for the New Year's holidays. But Zheng Kezang doesn't really have too many feelings for the Yanping County Palace, Zheng Jing has always been busy with government affairs on weekdays, and has been fighting endlessly for his great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. In addition, in this deep mansion compound, there is also a Mrs. Dong who looks at Zheng Kezang very unpleasantly, and she can't wait to expel him from the house before she is willing; Now, I heard that Zheng Jing's wife Tang is 8 months pregnant, and this unborn fetus is very likely to be his good brother Zheng Keshuang. All this added up to make Zheng Kezang even more reluctant to go back.

After thinking hard for a long time, Zheng Kezang couldn't think of what he should do, and he had nothing to do, so he could only take these two personal soldiers to wander around the barracks and pass the time.

"Hey! Ha ......" Suddenly, not far away, a uniform shout came, and Zheng Kezang walked over with two guards. From the mouths of the two pro-soldiers, Zheng Kezang learned that the sergeants who looked particularly strong in this team were Liu Guoxuan's pro-soldiers, and the two of them were also one of them. But I saw that Liu Guoxuan's team of personal soldiers were all fierce and fierce, much stronger than ordinary sergeants, and their movements were uniform during training, and they were really a good team of tigers and wolves.

Zheng Kezang took a closer look, and was surprised to find that on the bodies of these sergeants, there was a cloth bag wrapped around the waist and abdomen, the cloth bag was flat, and bulging, as if it was full of things, and he couldn't help but feel moved, and said, "Huh? What is that? Is it ......?"

"Is the prince asking about sandbags? This was conceived by the general, and the soldiers wore it for a long time to train, which can help increase their strength. A general is a general, he is really wise and powerful, and if he thinks of a sandbag casually, he can help his brothers improve their strength......" The answer of the pro-soldier also confirmed the conjecture in Zheng Kezang's heart.

"Sandbag, power...... Sandbags, ...... strength" Zheng Kezang didn't listen to half a sentence of the words behind the soldiers, and was secretly annoyed: "I'm really stupid enough, I didn't even think of such a simple method, what I lack now is not strength?" Since the strength of the internal force is convenient and cannot be broken through in the short term, why not put some effort into the physical strength? Perhaps, this is the breakthrough I am currently lacking...... "This is really, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." It turned out that the answer he was looking for but couldn't find was close at hand, but he turned a blind eye. Now, now that he has come to his senses, Zheng Kezang can naturally find several ways to solve the problem of his physical strength growing. I think that at the beginning, when Zheng Kezang was still alive, although he had never been a soldier or participated in any high-intensity training, he had never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Zheng Kezang is more or less aware of the training methods of special forces, top killers and bodyguards.

When the soldiers saw Zheng Kezang's appearance, they thought that he was interested in sandbags, and hurriedly said, "Shizi, are you also interested in the general's sandbags?" Why don't you ask your subordinates to find some and come over to show you? ”

Zheng Kezang took the opportunity to say: "I just heard you say for a long time, this sandbag is really good, and now that the master doesn't let me practice martial arts, I just need to find something to do." In this way, you go find a few sandbags and come over, and I want them to tie your waist and leggings. Go and come back quickly, and when you find it, send it to my tent, and I'll be waiting for you in the tent. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and left. Zheng Kezang returned to the camp with another personal soldier, and along the way, he was silently thinking about the next training plan in his heart.

Soon after Zheng Kezang returned to the camp, his soldiers returned with the sandbags that Zheng Kezang needed. Of course, as Liu Guoxuan's personal soldier, his first object of allegiance must be Liu Guoxiang, and even Zheng Jing can only be ranked second. Liu Guoxuan thought about it for a while, and guessed Zheng Kezang's intentions, although he felt that Zheng Kezang wanted to cultivate the power of the flesh was a bit of a waste of time, and there was no great need, it was enough to have "Shadow with the Legs", but Zheng Kezang worked hard enough, and he always had his own ideas for doing things, as long as he grasped the proportions, it didn't hurt, so there was no objection.

The sandbag in Zheng Kezang's hand was tied to his waist, abdomen, and calves and tried again, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was not very satisfied. Immediately, Zheng Kezang personally went down and commanded 2 personal soldiers to remake it. The three of them worked until late at night before they finally got it done. The newly made sandbags are more delicate, only two fingers wide and half a foot long, and each sandbag has two small holes on each side, which can be strung together with only a thin string. In this way, after each one is filled with iron sand, it can not only control the weight according to your own needs, but also facilitate the binding of the body, which greatly reduces the sense of cumbersomeness. When Zheng Kezang's newly made sandbag was presented to Liu Guoxuan, Liu Guoxuan saw the benefits of such an improvement at a glance and praised it.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zheng Kezang, who was a little impatient, found Liu Guoxuan, and after repeated assurances, he finally succeeded in persuading Liu Guoxuan to lift the ban on Zheng Kezang's martial arts training, and recalled 2 personal guards.

Zheng Kezang is like a dragon returning to the sea, a tiger entering the mountains, and plunging headlong into hard training. The new training program is a sea change from the previous one. Zheng Kezang compresses and compresses the time for practicing "Heavenly Treasure" and "Shadow with Shaped Legs" every day, and strictly conducts physical strength training in the free time: early in the morning, without using any internal force, he runs ten laps around the barracks with weights; After lunch, the frog jumps 1,000 steps and kicks 1,000 times; In the evening, dragging a bundle of 100 pounds of worn-out blades, he turned back and ran 10 miles on the muddiest beach by the sea. In order to improve the strength of his body as soon as possible, Zheng Kezang kept the sandbag on his body except for sleeping time, and continued to increase the weight after his body adjusted to the weight of the sandbag. Even when he was practicing "Shadow-like Legs", Zheng Kezang was the same.

As the days passed, the strength of the sandbags between Zheng Ke's waist and legs became stronger and stronger, and the intensity of his training became more and more intense. With such a hard training, the effect is naturally amazing, and Zheng Kezang can clearly feel that the strength of his physical body is increasing all the time. Half a year later, Zheng Kezang not only increased his height a lot, but the muscles around his body also bulged slightly, becoming streamlined, especially the eight-pack abdominal muscles, as well as the muscle groups in his legs, which were as hard as iron, containing explosive power. In just half a year, the strength of Zheng Kezang's physical body has reached an astonishing level. And most importantly, with the growth of physical strength, it also confirms the conjecture in Zheng Kezang's heart, which can indeed enhance the "ruthless" key of "Shadow with Legs". Now, Zheng Kezang's "Legs Like a Shadow" not only has a faster leg speed, but also full strength, and can already show his eighty percent internal strength.

But at the same time, the effect that could be improved by the previous physical strength training has also reached a limit, and it seems that the potential of his physical body has been tapped. But Zheng Kezang is still a little unwilling in his heart, not for anything else, just because his "Shadow Legs" did not give full play to his internal strength. Zheng Kezang fell into a long contemplation again, but this time it didn't take him too long, and Zheng Kezang, whose thinking had been broadened, only took three days to think of a way.

On the second day, when the tide was high, Zheng Kezang came to the shore, faced the tide wave after wave, and performed "Shadow with Legs" with all his might, kicking out his legs heavily...... That's right, this is the new method that Zheng Kezang thought of, since Yang Guo successfully practiced under the waterfall, why couldn't Zheng Kezang practice in the waves. However, it is really difficult to practice in this way, at the beginning of the practice, Zheng Kezang did not go too far from the shore, and the sea water was only not over his calf, in this case, Zheng Kezang faced the stormy waves, and just kicked out the first kick, he was slapped into the water by the waves, and the great power of nature is really not so easy to resist. Zheng Kezang, who had expected it, was not discouraged, got up quickly, and then faced the SH waves, and went all out...... was knocked back and got up again, Zheng Kezang endured the severe pain around his body, and tried again and again......

After more than half a month, Zheng Kezang was finally able to face the angry waves and kick out the first leg with all his might, and landed steadily, without being knocked away by the waves. But Zheng Kezang was still unstable, and the second wave of water roared again, and the result was naturally self-evident, and Zheng Kezang was once again slapped back to the shore. However, having already taken the first step towards success, Zheng Kezang became more confident and continued to devote himself to the great cause of penance.

One-legged, two-legged, three-legged...... Finally, Zheng Kezang was able to perform "Shadow with the Legs" without the slightest influence on the shore that did not reach his calves, but more than half a year had passed.

A year later, Zheng Kezang was able to perform "Retreat Like a Shadow" on the shore of the waist and abdomen. But Zheng Kezang did not stop, because his "Shadow Legs" can only exert more than ninety percent of his internal strength now.

The sea water has not passed through his armpits, not over his neck, and even over the top of his head, Zheng Kezang's "Shadow-like Legs" has not yet been fully completed, and it is only a little bit close, and it cannot fully exert its internal strength. It's really just a little bit close, but it's just a kick in the door. But it was this kick in the door, but it was like a big mountain, horizontal in front of Zheng Kezang.

Another point has to be mentioned, that is, Zheng Kezang's water nature has also improved by leaps and bounds, and now he can even achieve the legendary internal breathing, and he can also move freely in the seawater. If it weren't for that, how could Zheng Kezang continue to cultivate in the sea water above his head, facing the angry waves?

Zheng Kezang is naturally unwilling to stop here, even if he is only one foot away, if he can't break through, in Zheng Kezang's view, this is also a failure. However, a new problem has arisen, in the deeper water, although Zheng Kezang relies on his extraordinary water movement with ease, the first leg is easy to say, but then there is nowhere to focus, how can he continuously jump out of the sea and face the angry waves? If you just train the first leg, this completely violates the continuous essence of "Shadow Legs", what is the use of practicing?

It was Liu Guoxuan who woke up the dreamer with a word, and even sent a warship to help Zheng Kezang cultivate. This method is very simple, that is, let the soldiers on the ship throw wooden planks to the sea from time to time, although the planks will float with the seawater, but finally Zheng Ke has a foothold hidden in the deep sea, and he will naturally be able to continue to cultivate. In this way, Zheng Kezang launched the final sprint, and finally succeeded in cultivating a year later. In the performance of "Shadow with Legs", Zheng Kezang can not only exert his full internal strength, but also be able to retract and release freely, as he wants.

Moreover, after three years of sea penance, Zheng Kezang's light skills have made earth-shaking progress, especially in a small range of flashing and moving, even Liu Guoxuan under full strength is inferior. Combined with the internal strength characteristics of Baiyun Smoke, when Zheng Kezang runs his body method to the extreme, he will even leave a few afterimages, making the enemy even more unable to detect the virtual reality.
