When Lin Xu himself interviewed outside the courtyard of his home in the morning, the limit was to split three stacks of bricks with one palm. However, those bricks are all finished products after firing, and you need to do your best to do it, and there is some luck involved, and you can't do it every time.

This is because the hardness of each brick is not absolutely equal, some are harder, some are worse, and some are defective, with a crack in themselves, or the outside is not obvious but the inside has been burned out. For example, the brick kiln in their village, which is still basically in the handicraft workshop type of firing process, naturally cannot guarantee the absolute finished product and quality of each piece.

Sometimes one of the three bricks accidentally encounters a harder one, and Lin Xu can't split them all with one palm, but he can do it when he encounters a slightly worse one. However, now it is sun-dried mud bricks, and the hardness is much weaker than the fired bricks.

Guan Wentao was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, put away his surprised expression, then looked at Lin Xu, and then at the broken bricks on the ground, still a little incredulous: "You, have you really practiced this? It's only been two days?"

Lin Xu nodded and said, "I also practiced a little bit today." ”

"That's also very powerful, how to practice, teach me quickly, and I will follow your practice!" Guan Wentao's eyes lit up, and his tone immediately changed to excitement and anticipation.

Originally, because of Lin Xu's words, he had planned to change his attitude from today, starting with martial arts training, practicing well and seriously, and persevering every day in the future. Now with Lin Xu's show, he burst out with great interest and confidence.

Lin Xu didn't hide it from him, so he said: "I can practice this ability, not because I only practiced the red sand hand and the rotating Qiankun palm, but also because I practiced a special internal skill, that is, the kind of special meditation and cultivation performed on TV, that I have practiced a little internal strength." ”

When Guan Wentao came to his house yesterday, he didn't teach Guan Wentao the "Secret of Holding Pu" that he had sorted out by himself, because he hadn't completely sorted it out yesterday, and he didn't know if the kung fu he created and sorted out by himself was right or not, and whether it could be done. Now it's because I've practiced and verified it myself, so I'm willing to teach.

At that moment, he explained the central theory of his "Secret to Holding Pu", as well as the feasible cultivation methods and mantras that he had personally verified in the early hours of this morning, to Guan Wentao.

It's a pity that Guan Wentao doesn't understand anything. Although he had taken a very serious attitude, he still listened a little drowsy as if he was listening to the teacher's lecture during class. In particular, Lin Xu's speech was mixed with a lot of ancient texts, which made him listen to it even more. After listening to it, it's like not listening to it, basically I still don't understand, and I can't remember a few words.

After listening, he himself smiled a little embarrassedly at Lin Xugan, and said, "I think you are too profound, I don't understand." ”

"Where don't you understand?" Lin Xu asked.

Guan Wentao was even more ashamed and embarrassed: "To be honest, I don't understand anything, so I memorized a dantian and refining qi, and I didn't remember the rest." ”

Lin Xu couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly, because he had spent so much time, it was equivalent to talking in vain. Fortunately, he only talked about a small part of it, and only talked about the central theory of the three qi of Bao Puzi and the small part that he had verified in the early morning, and he didn't talk about the things that had not been verified by his own cultivation and even some imperfections.

"That's it!" Guan Wentao suddenly had an idea, and he didn't care about the dirt on the ground, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, looked up at Lin Xu and said, "You just teach me how to do it, I don't understand those truths anyway, you don't need to say it." ”

Seeing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but smile helplessly, and said, "If you don't understand the truth inside, what the essence and spirit are, and the use of ideas, how can you practice?"

Guan Wentao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "No matter, try it!"

Lin Xu sighed, shook his head, thought about it, and first taught him to sit cross-legged, hold his hands firmly, relax his whole body, breathe naturally, hang his eyes, and look at his dantian with the glimmer of light under his eyes. Then, try to teach him step by step in the most straightforward and easy-to-understand words.

It's a pity that after teaching for a long time, Guan Wentao can't even really enter meditation, and he is always full of distracting thoughts, not to mention the formal cultivation later.

After spending a long time, Guan Wentao reluctantly opened his eyes and stood up, patted the soil on his pants behind him, and said a little dejectedly: "Forget it, it seems that I am not practicing meditation and meditation, and I can't sit still at all." ”

Lin Xu was also quite helpless for Guan Wentao, but unfortunately Guan Wentao couldn't understand it himself, he couldn't be still, and he had no better way to help Guan Wentao. Just like when he was in elementary school, he has been helping Guan Wentao study, but no matter how much he helps, Guan Wentao's grades have always improved limitedly. After thinking about it, he persuaded: "Don't be discouraged, the breathing method used to cooperate in the "Shaolin Xingqi Thirteen Potentials" you practiced also has the effect of refining and refining qi and cultivating internal force." It may take a little longer to practice alone, but as long as you keep practicing, you will succeed one day. ”

Guan Wentao nodded and said: "Okay, I'll practice this honestly in the future! I remember which novel I read also said that martial arts are 'not much more expensive'!"

After that, he suddenly sighed, looked at Lin Xu and said, "However, you can't be compared." You said that you studied well, and practicing martial arts turned out to be a genius, and it was really better than a human being to death!"

Lin Xu smiled a little embarrassedly and didn't say anything. But in the end, it is the nature of a young man, even if he is more mature and stable than his peers, at this time, listening to Guan Wentao's heartfelt praise, he can't help but feel a little complacent in his heart. I thought that I didn't say that the internal strength was created and researched by myself, otherwise wouldn't it scare him.

Guan Wentao is naturally optimistic, and when he practiced internal skills just now, he was always unable to enter a state of tranquility and was hit, but with Lin Xu's persuasion, he also wanted to open it in a blink of an eye. After a moment, he smiled again and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's play for a while!" You say, let's just go here, or find another place to play?"

Lin Xu thought for a while, returned the question and said, "Say it!"

"Hmm!" Guan Wentao thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to the ditch to play?"

Lin Xu nodded when he heard this: "Okay." ”

The ditch in Guancun is actually a very narrow lake. Because it is too narrow and long, like a ditch, the people in the village do not call it a lake but a ditch. There is no specific name, just a ditch. The ditch was divided into four sections, two on the west side of the village and two in the middle of the village. It is said that it used to be a river, but due to the lack of flow at the source, coupled with the drought, some places in the middle were cut off by sediment or artificially, and it became a ditch with stagnant water.

The two sections to the west of the village run north-south, and the two sections in the middle of the village run east-west. The two ditches in the middle of the village also divide the village into the front village and the back village. The people on the south bank of the ditch are the front village, and the people on the north bank of the ditch are the back villages, and the village is often called the north of the ditch. The two ditches in the middle of the village, the water in them is the shallowest water, and someone in the village has contracted to plant lotus roots in them, and every summer, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is very beautiful.

There are many water sources in the two ditches to the west of the village, and I heard that there is a spring under the ditch on the north side, so although the source of the upper river has been cut off early, it has maintained a depth of five or six meters at its deepest point for so many years. And although these two ditches are divided into two sections, and a road is cut off by the villagers in the middle, a road is also built under the road below, and the water sources of the two ditches are interconnected.

Guan Wentao said that he went to play in the ditch, referring to the ditch on the north side of the west of the village. Although there are more water sources in the two ditches, the banks of the ditches in the south are very high and steep, two or three meters above the ground, and four or five meters in the high places, which is difficult to go down. In the north of this ditch, there is a section of the ditch bank that is very gentle and easy to go down, so the children in the village usually go to this ditch to play in the ditch.

In the summer, they go to the ditch to fish, catch tadpoles, catch frogs, swim in the water, and in the winter, they go to the ditch to paddle the ice after freezing. Then look for any frozen fish on the surface of the water, and smash the ice to catch the fish. There are also many woods along the ditch, naughty climbing trees to dig birds, or shooting birds with homemade slingshots below, each with its own way of playing. The favorite place for children in the village to play is this ditch.
