Chapter 34: Apprenticeship
"Master, please bow to the apprentice!" Ling Xu said respectfully.
"Hey, hey, get up. The old man lifted Ling Xu up with both hands.
"That's right, old doll ......" Ling Xu realized what he had missed, so he changed his words: "Master, my surname is Ling Dan, my surname is a single name, I don't know what your old man's surname is!"
The old man straightened his head and said: "If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, the old man is Xie Tianao, who is called the King of the Eagle in the rivers and lakes!"
Ling Xu looked at the old man's high-spirited appearance, and secretly smiled: "I haven't heard of ......" and then asked, "Master, can you teach me the trick of improving the toughness of your body in a short period of time?"
"Little apprentice, do you know the Heavenly Eagle Gong?"
Ling Xu shook his head helplessly: "I don't know." β
Xie Tianao thought for a moment, and then like a surging river, he kept saying: "Tianying Gong is a unique and profound technique created by the old man who has walked the rivers and lakes for many years and created through various experiences in the rivers and lakes.......
Listening to Xie Tianao's incessant preaching, Ling Xu seemed to feel that there were countless flies buzzing in his ears, so he interrupted Xie Tianao's words: "Master, just tell me the trick!"
Xie Tianao's white eyebrows tightened slightly, and he suddenly said sharply: "Why are you so impatient, what I said are all excellent exercises, as long as you learn one of them, you can make your own toughness break through a step, so let's teach you the simplest and most practical plundering whirlwind!"
Ling Xu heard that it was simple and practical, and clapped his hands again and again.
"The old man will practice first, little apprentice, you can watch it!" Xie Tianao said and practiced, his arms open like wings, and his feet gripping the ground like eagle hooks. Turn over on the left and flick your tail on the right. One move and one style, just like an eagle with wings spread, sharp and vigorous.
After a while, Xie Tianao received with a fluent and energetic movement, although he was already an old man, but his every movement was shown with ease, and his momentum was like a rainbow.
Xie Tianao put his left hand behind his back, stretched out his right hand and said to Ling Xu peacefully: "You come and do the essentials of my actions just now, and I'll take a look." β
"Huh?" Hearing Xie Tianao say this, Ling Xu was dumbfounded, because Xie Tianao's move just now was so fast that even his own eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of his move, let alone make it according to the script, Ling Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Master, your old man's move is so fast, Ling Xu can't tell it clearly!"
Xie Tianao smiled, pointed at Ling Xu's forehead and said: "Hehe, you kid, as a teacher, you are not the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, how could you not see clearly, it is clear that you didn't pay attention to it, I will use the slow move drill to show you now, you follow it." β
"Oh!" Ling Xu replied respectfully.
The heavy snow outside the Biyun Cave is still falling silently, but the cave is full of the atmosphere of the old and the young happily practicing martial arts, Ling Xu is tired of practicing the moves taught by Xie Tianao over and over again, I don't know how long it took, Xie Tianao has already lit a fire in the center of the cave, and the fragrance of barbecue wafted into Ling Xu's mouth and nose, Ling Xu looked in the direction of Xie Tianao, he was holding a hare he had just caught roasting there, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Xie Tianao suddenly raised the oily, fragrant rabbit meat that was roasted and smoothed at Ling Xu and shook it: "Little apprentice, do you want to eat it?"
Facing Xie Tianao's temptation, Ling Xu's eyes were about to straighten, after practicing for so long, his stomach was already hungry, so he nodded again and again: "Yes!"
Xie Tianao put the meat back on the stand and continued to roast it, stood up and said, "Seeing that you have been practicing for so long, why don't you use the plundering whirlwind you just practiced to attack me, if I feel satisfied, I will share your meat to eat, how about it?"
Ling Xu saw that there was meat to eat, and he had already abandoned everything in his eyes, and said with his hands in his fists: "That disciple is offended!"
His arms were as open as wings, and his feet were gripping the ground like eagle hooks! Ling Xu skillfully unfolded the Sky Eagle Skill move and attacked towards Xie Tianao.
"Huhu!" In the blink of an eye, Ling Xu flashed behind Xie Tianao at a ghostly speed, turning over and pounce...... A move full of body flexibility hit Xie Tianao, but they were all dodged by Xie Tianao's faster body one by one.
After a while, Ling Xu was already in full swing, sweating like rain, but Xie Tianao still breathed slowly, without the slightest feeling of exhaustion.
"This ......" Ling Xu couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Xie Tianao didn't have a drop of sweat on his face, "Master, you have been fighting with me for so long, I'm almost tired and lying down, why are you still so vigorous?"
Xie Tianao smiled and said, "Because you didn't use the Eagle function to the right point!"
"Sticking to the point?"
"Yes, I know your moves very well, and being a teacher is to use the order of your moves, so you can resolve them one by one without much effort. β
Ling Xu suddenly felt that he was being put on the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ha, Master, you are so cunning!"
Xie Tianao stretched out his left hand to Ling Xu and said in a duel appearance: "Since you already know my intention and motivation, as long as you can touch my right hand behind me this time, even if you win, come, attack me!"
"My rash attack like this will only hit the master's hand, so let's use the Ten Thousand Things Determination Technique to deal with him!" Ling Xu closed his eyes and concentrated, his hands hurriedly sealed, and soon he had already sensed the flow of the breath of all things, and then suddenly smelled the aroma of the barbecue meat becoming more and more intense, so he had an idea and shouted loudly: "Master, the meat is burned!"
Xie Tianao turned his head, and at this moment, Ling Xu used the Heavenly Dao All Things - Transformation and Shadow Changing Body Method, and almost at the same time as Xie Tianao turned his head, Ling Xu approached Xie Tianao's side at lightning speed, and the position where Ling Xu was standing before was left with only a void body remnant slowly retreating.
"Smack!" After a crisp loud sound, the corners of Ling Xu's mouth raised, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Xie Tianao's right hand was slapped by Ling Xu's fierce slap and retracted his hand again and again: "Ouch!
Xie Tianao gently patted Ling Xu's head and said, "You kid, you are actually cheating on your teacher, you are very disrespectful!"
Ling Xu sneered: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating!"
Xie Tianao was deeply puzzled by Ling Xu's shape-shifting and shadow-changing move just now, and sighed: "Little apprentice, what kind of kung fu did you just use, the speed is so fast, even the old man can't reach it!"
Faced with Master's question, Ling Xu thought for a while and replied, "Don't hide it from Master, Ling Xu once met a noble person, he called Xiaoyaozi, and I taught me all my skills.
Xie Tianao's eyes were about to pop out when he heard the words 'Xiaoyaozi', and he grabbed the scarf around Ling Xu's neck and shook it vigorously: "What...... What? You're saying that your kung fu was taught to you by Xiaoyaozi?"
Ling Xu was frightened by Xie Tianao's actions, frowned and asked softly, "Master, do you have any deep hatred with Xiaoyaozi's predecessors?"
Xie Tianao realized his gaffe, straightened Ling Xu's scarf, closed his eyes and said: "I'm sorry, the teacher has lost his temper, Xiaoyaozi didn't have any deep hatred with me, but was a close friend in my life, but he didn't hear from him after saying goodbye that day, I heard that he was wandering the rivers and lakes, but I couldn't find any news of his whereabouts, little apprentice, do you know where he is now?" Xie Tianao saw that Ling Xu had met Xiaoyaozi, and his face showed a rather excited look.
"It wasn't an enemy. Ling Xu exhaled lightly: "Xiaoyaozi's predecessor is a southerner, the first time I met Xiaoyaozi's predecessor was on a back hillside not far from my house, he said that he was looking for a thousand-year-old ice silkworm to cure his illness and save a friend of him, I told him that the thousand-year-old ice silkworm lives in the cave of nothingness in the extremely cold land, and before I could tell him that the cave of nothingness is the forbidden land of my clan, he disappeared, and then he even succeeded in getting the thousand-year-old ice silkworm!"
Xie Aotian suddenly raised his head and sighed, "Is it the stinging poison in Tianxin's body?"
"Who is Tianxin?" Ling Xu asked puzzled.
Xie Aotian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: " Tianxin is a confidante of Xiaoyaozi, because in a battle Tianxin in order to protect Xiaoyaozi and blocked the enemy for him to release a poison dart with poison, the sting poison is extremely poisonous, it should be carefully refined by a senior alchemist, since then the sting poison on the poison dart has been existing in Tianxin's body, every time the poison attacks, Tianxin is so painful that he dies, Xiaoyaozi can't bear Tianxin to endure that pain, visit the world's famous doctors for medical advice, but has not been able to completely eradicate the stinging poison in Tianxin's body, presumably you met him that time is to find a thousand years of ice silkworms to cure Tianxinγ β
"It turns out that Xiaoyaozi's predecessors still have such a story. Ling Xu told Xie Tianao about the story of meeting Xiaoyaozi again on the Bridge of Frightened Birds, and Xie Tianao said with a little grievance: "Since that stinky boy came to my Frost Clan, he didn't come to me, the eldest brother, it's really not righteous enough." β
"Hehe, Master, don't blame Xiaoyaozi seniors......" At this time, Ling Xu suddenly asked, a smell of burning, and hurriedly said, "Not good! This time the rabbit meat is really burnt!"
Xie Tianao hurriedly came to the stand, took off the half-fragrant and half-burnt roast rabbit meat, sent it to his nose and tried to smell it, and shook his head in enjoyment: "It's so fragrant!"
Ling Xu drooled while watching, and said again and again, "Master, can you give me half of it?"
Xie Tianao nodded: "Well, if you touch my right hand, naturally half of it will be given to you, this rabbit meat smells very fragrant, it is only a little burnt, come and come and this half is yours!" Xie Tianao finished speaking, pinching the roast rabbit body with both hands, and it seemed that the rabbit meat was torn into two pieces and handed it to Ling Xu without difficulty.
