Chapter 36: Diligent Practice
Xia Yuan is hard to say in other places, but among the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple, he is definitely the most diligent.
The official disciples of Shaolin Temple have always been in the temple, and even if Xia Yuan wants to compare, he can't compare, and he can't even see people.
Xia Yuan had already washed up around five o'clock every morning, he brought dry food, and when all the lay disciples were sleepwalking in Zhou Gong, he came to the depths of the mountain alone, and began a day's morning exercise on the way.
In the early morning, after Xia Yuan finished practicing internal qi, he began to practice external strength. According to the plots of some novels and movies he had seen on Earth before, he tied his legs to sandbags to increase the pressure on his legs, and tried to practice light exercises as soon as possible.
In addition to the cultivation methods in this other world, Xia Yuan also added many modern training methods. For example: push-ups, squats, palm presses, pull-ups, frog jumps, sit-ups and other modern methods of exercise. Of course, it's a modern workout with spices. As for whether it is useful or not, even Xia Yuan himself can't figure it out, it seems to be useful, and it seems to be useless. Anyway, Xia Yuan has never given up this exercise method.
When Xia Yuan was practicing light exercises, he didn't stop in his hands, one time to open the mountain palm, and another to promote the cooperation of martial arts. When you can save it, you can only run, and when you run, you can't even parry. Occasionally, Xia Yuan would find a waterfall to practice the iron cloth shirt. It's called a dark place. Xia Yuan often brought himself close to a coma. If he hadn't been very good at water, I'm afraid he would have drowned in the water next to the waterfall.
Xia Yuan often practiced for a day, and his lunch was solved by the dry food he brought, and he didn't return to the disciple's house until dusk. Sometimes, the practice of martial arts is too much, and he even forgets the time for dinner. By the time he came back to his senses, even the restaurants on the street had already closed, so he had to find a way to get some food and wait for some roadside stalls. Otherwise, the next day, he would not have the strength to cultivate.
Once, Xia Yuan also practiced martial arts too much. That day, Xia Yuan had been practicing martial arts because of his comprehension, and by the time he reacted, he was already close to a shift. At this time, let alone dinner, you can't even see people. They all went back to the house early to rest.
Xia Yuan was dumbfounded, although there are a lot of wild things on the mountain, Shaolin Temple has a clear rule that hunting wild things are not allowed, and ordinary people can only hunt. If all those who practice martial arts go hunting, then the prey will soon be exhausted. This is equivalent to cutting off a way of life for the people in the vicinity. Therefore, the Shaolin Temple has a rule that once a poacher is found, he will be beaten with 30 rods. This is only the main prescribing of these lay disciples. Apart from them, there are no people in the rivers and lakes who will hunt here.
Xia Yuan weighed in his heart whether he was hungry and uncomfortable, or he was punished and embarrassed. After weighing it for a long time, Xia Yuan did not come to a conclusion. The main thing is to be punished, and even the master's face is thrown together, which is not a trivial matter. However, being hungry is also a very uncomfortable thing. Later, Xia Yuan couldn't help it, he threw away his worries, anyway, this time, as long as he wasn't discovered. At that time, as long as you are not caught on the spot, you will die and refuse to admit it.
Xia Yuan made up his mind and headed for the mountains again. The night road in the mountains is not easy to walk, he has no torches, and his own cultivation has not reached the realm of seeing the night as day, which is at least possible by obtaining the Qi cultivation realm. In the past, the mountain road he traveled back and forth was fixed, and he was already familiar with it, so naturally he didn't need to spend more work. Now, he is looking for food, and naturally he is in a lot of trouble.
Xia Yuan searched for a long time, and it was close to the second watch, but he still didn't find even a trace of wild animal activity. He was a little disheartened, and he was going not to look for it, so he went back to the disciple's house directly.
Just when Xia Yuan was about to give up his useless work, the heavens seemed to have played a joke on him, and a flash of fire passed through the corner of his eye, almost making Xia Yuan think that he had an illusion. In the middle of the night, it is deep in the mountains and old forests, how can there be fire? Moreover, it seems to be a fire caused by a fire.
Could it be that someone set it on fire? Xia Yuan shook his head, amused by the thoughts that popped up in his heart. This is the Shaolin Temple, who dares to set fire here. Moreover, even if it was set on fire, it would not do any harm to the Shaolin Temple.
Could it be that it's just to disgust the Shaolin Temple? That price is too heavy! What idiot would do that? The prestige of the Shaolin Temple is not in vain. If you really want to provoke Shaolin Temple because of this matter, it means that the person in charge of that force is two hundred and five. But those who can get qualified to offend Shaolin Temple on the rivers and lakes will definitely not have this kind of two hundred and five.
Just when Xia Yuan laughed at himself that he was already a little nervous, his thoughts gradually tended to be like conspiracy theories. The whole person did not lift the guard just now, but still remained cautious, and slowly dived towards the place where the fire appeared. Xia Yuan firmly believes that a hundred times of caution may be a misunderstanding, but one negligence can kill him.
Xia Yuan quietly sneaked to the place where the fire originated without making a sound. During his time in Shaolin Temple, Xia Yuan recalled the previous battle process, summarized the previous combat experience, and hoped to grow. Xia Yuan found that in addition to his lack of combat experience, he also knew nothing about stealth and concealment.
That's a big problem!
On the rivers and lakes, in addition to winning and running fast, you also have to learn to hide. If you are chased and killed, in addition to being able to escape, you must also hide well, so that the enemy cannot find the slightest trace. Xia Yuan, if it weren't for the fact that Master Kuang had stopped the King of King Kong Temple before, they would have been caught by King Kong Temple's King of King Kong Temple by virtue of their hidden skills of revealing themselves in front of ordinary people. As for the outcome, it is unknown. Anyway, Xia Yuan wouldn't believe that the so-called Demon Gate would be easier to talk than decent.
Of course, with their current strength, if there are no exercises like hiding, they will be caught sooner or later.
At that time, if it weren't for the coincidence of Xia Yuan and others, and the so-called protagonist halo shrouded in it, it would have fallen into the hands of decency, and life might not have been easy. After all, man is the spirit of all things. On the other hand, humans are very cunning creatures, and they have a lot of so-called edge ball ideas.
Ever since Xia Yuan learned the whole story of the last incident from Master Empty Suffering, in addition to being amazed at the luck of the three of them, he was looking around for books on stealth and concealment. (Books, not exercise cheats.) Because the Shaolin Temple does not pay much attention to this aspect, (after all, it is the first major faction, that is, it has courage and is not afraid of being hunted down and killed.) It's just that I don't know if there are cheats or something. Master Kongku found some books on this subject that he had left a long time ago, and lent them all to Xia Yuan.
Master Kongku knew that Xia Yuan still needed knowledge in this area.
After Xia Yuan thanked Master Kongku, he has been concentrating on learning. Judging from the current situation, Xia Yuan's cultivation is still very fruitful.
