Xiao Dongshan practiced lotus boxing with Chen Zhiduo while practicing the condensation technique recorded in the medical book given by Jiang Bo of the Dong nationality. Because of the condensation technique to cure the serious injury of the wrist, Xiao Dongshan regarded it as a miracle and practiced hard, and the Chaoyang Nine Qi Xuangong practiced less. Most of the front of the condensation technique is to teach the method of pranayama and internal harmony and physical fitness, which is well recorded, from the great principle of absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, to how to breathe in, how to return to the vein, and how to settle the tricks, although the more you practice, the more difficult it becomes, after all, slowly overcome. By the time Chen Zhiduo taught Lotus Boxing, he had already integrated this part, but every time he looked back and looked at it from the beginning, he would have something new, and it was really mysterious.

The back part of the condensation technique is a few ambiguous methods, it seems that the author of the book can not make up his mind, just put forward some inspiration, leave it for future generations to refer to in detail, but the method of cultivation is more unrestrained, even the sentence "absorbing the essence of the sun and moon of heaven and earth" has been changed to "the essence of the sun and moon of heaven and earth", which shows its boldness. Xiao Dongshan speculated privately: "The condensation technique recorded in this book only condenses and does not disperse, only receives and does not send, and cannot hurt the enemy, it is not a martial art, I don't have to be too restrained, why don't I follow the inspiration behind, self-creation, self-cultivation?" "His natural nature is here, and in the process of groping, he explained the back part of the Divine Condensation Technique, and even practiced some doorways.

At first, I didn't feel very good, but then I gradually felt that there was more and more true qi in my body, as if it was about to overflow, and there was a feeling of swelling pain in the dantian. At this time, I realized that it was not good, so I had to practice less condensation techniques, practice more Chaoyang Nine Qi Xuangong, and use Chaoyang Nine Qi Xuangong to lead the excess true qi in the body to the whole body, slowly digest it, and persist for a period of time, the true qi in the body is still increasing day by day, and the feeling of swelling pain is becoming more and more frequent.

Chen Zhiduo looked uncomfortable when he saw him, and asked him with concern, Xiao Dongshan thought that he was fine, and he didn't say much. When he has practiced the lotus fist, his body has been full of true qi, and he has used the Chaoyang Nine Qi Xuangong to drain it, just like taking a small melon scoop and scooping water in a big river, where is there any use! Xiao Dongshan's face was normal, and his body felt swollen and uncomfortable.

He asked Chen Zhiduo: "Big brother, do you see that I am fighting with that scar-faced woman now, what are the chances of winning?" Chen Zhiduo said: "About thirty percent, hit her by surprise, can have fifty percent...... This is her territory, and it has to be reduced by 10...... It's useless to just defeat her, the old poisonous woman is too poisonous, and her martial arts are not bad...... If you act rashly, the chance of rushing out is less than one percent! Xiao Dongshan said: "I think so too, wait for me to make more progress!" ”

This night, it was a full moon night, and the moonlight outside illuminated the entire mountain peak. "Damn, I'm going to pay for food again!" Xiao Dongshan sat on the ground of the stone room and cursed in his mouth. I don't know when he called the whipping "food money". As usual, he heard that the scar-faced woman had brought Chen Zhiduo out first, and secretly thought about the time when the scar-faced woman would mention him.

This time, the scar-faced woman came particularly quickly. As soon as she entered the door, she pointed two fingers and pointed at Xiao Dongshan's acupoint, so that he couldn't use it, Xiao Dongshan knew that there was something wrong, and he was secretly surprised. Before passing by Chen Zhiduo's room, I paid attention to it, the door was closed, and I didn't know what was going on, and when I was lifted to the peak, I saw Chen Zhiduo hanging from a big tree.

"Hahaha, another unlucky ghost!" Xiao Dongshan pretended not to know and shouted. Yin'e's mother-in-law's face sank, and she sneered: "Hmph, only one of the two can be left!" Let's see which of you will die! ”

Xiao and Chen were secretly frightened when they heard this. Yin'e's mother-in-law continued: "Two rabbit cubs, I thought that the old lady would not be a killer, and dared to fight with the old lady!" Today, I saw clearly, the old lady only needs one apprentice, and whoever of you asks me to be an apprentice first, I will kill the other person! Xiao Chen and the others were silent, secretly calculating in their hearts. Chen Zhiduo thought secretly: "I am a depressed and escapist person, Brother Xiao is a vigorous person, if one person must die, I will also die, but as an elder of the beggar gang, all kinds of martial arts of the beggar gang are in my body, once I die, several kinds of kung fu will be lost, it is a pity!" Knowing this, he also passed on the martial arts of the beggar gang to Brother Xiao! Only one set of lotus fists that are not beggars' martial arts is transmitted, which is too little! If I don't pass on the stinky rules of helping outsiders, I shouldn't abide by them! What is the right thing now? If I can get the antidote, when I recover my internal strength, I can kill it, but where is the antidote? How do I know it's the antidote? Xiao Dongshan secretly thought: "I have to design to get out, if I get away, Brother Chen will not be in danger, I went out to find help, and then come to save him!" I've been thinking about the routine for a long time, and it seems that I have to use it, but I haven't been sure about the scar-faced woman yet, and I don't know if I can beat it? Anyway, if I try, I can't beat her, I will die in battle, and Brother Chen will leave a way to live! Thinking of this, he was suddenly surprised: "Fortunately, I dug the road and got acquainted with Brother Chen, otherwise I don't know what kind of person he is, will I prevent him from harming me and harm him first?" He didn't dare to face the problem head-on, and he stopped thinking about it quickly.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yin'e's mother-in-law was surprised, and then she trembled with anger, and said, "Okay! Good! Don't be afraid of death! Have a backbone! The old lady will kill both of you, and then go to find a third person! ”

Xiao Dongshan blurted out: "Hahaha, the old woman is delusional, and she begs for fish." It's easy for me to apprentice, as long as I ...... As long as the water flows upwards and the fish can go up the tree, I will never say anything else, kowtow to the teacher, practice martial arts hard, and help you kill! ”

Mother-in-law Yin'e and all the black-clothed maids laughed in unison, and even the scar-faced woman grinned at her extremely ugly face, revealing her snow-white teeth, which could be regarded as a smile.

After laughing, Yin'e's mother-in-law stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Dongshan's chest, who pretended not to understand, and said, "Boy, this is what you said yourself!" The water flows up, and the fish can go up the tree, so worship the old lady as a teacher! Xiao Dongshan said: "What's the matter! Can you still make the water flow backwards and let the fish go up the tree? If there is, I will be convinced, and I will never regret it! ”

Yin'e's mother-in-law said: "Okay! The water flows upwards and can be seen at any time, but it is not difficult to watch the fish go up to the tree! However, now that summer has fallen, the fish will not go up to the tree. This fish only goes up to the tree in spring and autumn, and if it is too hot in summer, won't it be hot and dry on the tree, and if it is too cold in winter, won't it freeze on the tree? Wait a little longer, I'll take you to see it in autumn, and when you see it with your own eyes, if you want to regret it again, the old lady will gouge out your eyes first, and cut your tongue! Xiao Dongshan thought about it, and sure enough, he had only eaten that fish in spring and autumn. He pretended to be unconvinced, and said: "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, but seeing is believing, and I am convinced." I was secretly happy in my heart: "It will drag on for some more time, and when I practice the Lotus Fist again, I will have more chances of winning." ”

At this time, an old black-clothed maid said: "Master, although the weather is hot now, there are still fish on the tree, but there are fewer of them, and they can still be found, I saw them a few days ago!" When Yin'e's mother-in-law heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay! Without further ado, now the three of you will take him to see it! She pointed her hand and pointed at the three people: the scar-faced woman, the old maid in black, a young but fierce-looking maid in black. The young man came up and grabbed the rope on Xiao Dongshan's body, and Xiao Dongshan muttered: "Don't touch me, I will go by myself!" He scolded in his heart: "Troubled old woman! Don't let me delay any time! He said to Chen Zhiduo again: "This unlucky ghost, if I really apprentice, it would be good to use it as a sacrifice, huh...... Stinky and coaxing, pull it and wash it first! He turned his head and said to Yin'e's mother-in-law: "This is clean, I really want to apprentice, just cut him in two and make a starter!" Yin'e's mother-in-law said: "What kind of entry?" Haven't heard of it. Xiao Dongshan said: "You occupy the mountain as the king in vain, I don't understand this!" I won't be innocent if I kill him, and I will serve your disciples wholeheartedly, and I don't understand this? Keep it for me! Yin'e's mother-in-law said: "Little thing, there is still some evil spirit!" It's good for the old lady's appetite! Come on, drag it out and wash it well! Sure enough, two old black-clothed maids came over, put down Chen Zhiduo, and dragged him to the bath. Chen Zhiduo already understood at this time that Xiao Dongshan had no choice but to try that opportunity, he wanted to get out of the mountain and escape. If he had escaped, he would have no fear for his life. This wash is not only to protect himself from being slaughtered like waste before he escapes, but also to make himself comfortable and take a big bath.

The old woman in black pointed the way and took the lead. Xiao Dongshan looked disappreciative and followed her, and the scar-faced woman and the young black-clothed maid followed behind Xiao Dongshan left and right to prevent him from escaping.

The four of them walked more than 100 zhang, and they had reached the side of the peak, and after passing a stone gate, they saw a small pingtai. On the platform, two black-clothed maids stood guarding a pulley with a large bundle of thick rope at one end and a large basket tied at the other end, which could accommodate three people. Xiao Dongshan looked around, and saw that the hanging basket was a cliff that fell straight down, and the other side was not clear to see, and there was no way down.

The elderly woman in black in the lead said, "We have something to go down!" I'll be back later! Got it? The two blue guards said, "Yes! The old woman in black turned around and said, "You go down first!" The scar-faced woman and the young maid took Xiao Dongshan into the basket, clamped one left and one right, and when they sat firmly, the rope began to be put on it, and Xiao Dongshan only felt that it was slowly descending. After a long time, I saw another small platform below, which descended to the ground, and the scar-faced woman stabilized the hanging basket, and the three of them stepped out of the basket together. Xiao Dongshan looked back, and it turned out that sitting on the basket was the steepest section of the mountain. The three of them waited for a while, and then the old black-clothed maid was put down on top, and the four of them went down again.

This time, it was the old man who led the way, Xiao Dongshan followed, and the scar-faced woman and the young man were delayed. The four of them walked for a while, the mountain road became steeper and more dangerous, the two maids found tree branches to make crutches, but the scar-faced woman walked on the ground, Xiao Dongshan deliberately shouted: "Oops, oops, it's dangerous!" Oops, I almost fell! It's scary! Untie the ropes for me, so I'll have to fall to my death!" Oops, it's so dangerous, I fell to my death, and you are also a death! The old man listened to what he said well, and looked at the scarface woman, who nodded. The old man untied Xiao Dongshan's rope, and the young man said: "Don't play tricks, otherwise I will stab you with a sword A transparent hole!" ”
