Chapter 4: The Mean
"Senior brother, this Brother Sun Dalang wants to come to our martial arts hall to learn from him."
Ma Chuan's attitude was very respectful.
Sun Jue looked at the senior brother.
It is tall, burly, and has a fierce appearance, so you know at a glance that this is the type that is not easy to mess with.
Sun Jue hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I want to enter the martial arts hall to learn art. ”
Liu Tieping bowed slightly, and an ugly smile appeared on his fierce face: "You should know the rules of our martial arts hall, right?" ”
At this time, Liu Tieping's appearance is very much like those gangsters who collect protection money.
Sun Jue sneered, but his face remained silent: "I know something." ”
"That's good, our Tiewei Martial Arts Pavilion is ten taels of silver every month, if you don't have a place to live in the county, you can live in the martial arts hall and take care of two meals."
"If you can practice your internal strength within a month, then you can be considered an entry, and you can be officially included in the door wall by the master and his old man, and become a member of our Iron Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion."
Liu Tieping said proudly: "There are three major martial arts halls in Qingyang County, but the other two martial arts halls are just teaching some crop tricks. ”
"Only the inheritance of my Iron Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion can go straight to the innate realm."
"Moreover, as long as the disciples of the sect can meet the requirements, they can be taught the secret iron smelting hand that is not passed down by the sect."
When Sun Jue heard this, his heart was calm, but on the surface, he was very cooperative, with three points of yearning, three points of excitement, and four points of joy.
Seeing Sun Jue's expression, Liu Tieping nodded secretly in his heart.
His words were not a fool, but he also deliberately concealed some key information.
Although it is said that as long as the requirements are met, the Iron Mighty Martial Arts Hall will not be stingy with the inheritance of the iron hand.
But practicing martial arts is not so easy, even Chu Tiexiong, the son of the hall owner Chu Nantian, is now only in the acquired realm.
Although it is only one step away from the congenital, this step has blocked I don't know how many people.
The iron-smelter has also become a large pie that can be seen, but not eaten.
"Senior brother, I'll pay a month's apprenticeship first."
Sun Jue took out ten taels of silver from his arms, and then respectfully presented them.
He had previously learned from the shopkeeper that as long as there was enough money, he could stay in this martial arts hall all the time.
In other words, even if he can't train his internal strength within a month, he can pay money to continue to stay here.
However, Sun Jue didn't plan to pay too much at once.
First, if you don't show your wealth, if you pay for a few months at once, you will inevitably be remembered by others.
He's a foreigner from the countryside, isn't he helpless here?
Sun Jue has never been afraid to speculate on others with the worst malice, so even if this Liu Tieping seems to be quite reliable, he must take precautions.
Second, Sun Jue is not ready to show too good qualifications.
If he has developed internal strength within a month, then he will pretend that the silver is not enough and come back in a few months.
The golden mean, while you may miss something, will also minimize some trouble.
For the mediocre, most people will ignore it.
Liu Tieping took the silver, and it was not too little.
The reason why the threshold of these martial arts halls is so low is for small profits and quick turnover.
One person earns a few taels of silver, and ten people earn dozens of taels......
"Ma Chuan, you take Sun Dalang down, and then lead him to the No. 1 courtyard, and by the way, inform him of some precautions."
Ma Chuan replied respectfully: "Yes, senior brother." ”
Liu Tieping bowed slightly, and then turned his head to look at Sun Jue: "Da Lang, you settle down with Ma Chuan today, and wait until tomorrow morning, and then I will teach you and my Tiewei Martial Arts Pavilion's introductory palm technique." ”
"Thank you, brother."
Sun Jue looked like he couldn't hold back his excitement.
Liu Tieping was quite satisfied and waved his hand: "Go!" ”
"Follow me."
Sun Jue followed Ma Chuan out, and then came to a small courtyard through a side gate in the large courtyard.
Ma Chuan skillfully pushed open a door, and suddenly a disgusting smell mixed with the smell of sweat and foot odor came out.
Sun Jue frowned slightly and looked into the room.
It was a row of Chase bunks, and four people had slept at this time.
Ma Chuan opened his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Sun, you will live here after that, it is noon, the sun is too big, and the senior brothers are resting." ”
"We usually practice together in the morning, and in the afternoon we have free activities, whether you are sleeping, going out to sleep, etc. There are no rules. ”
Maybe it's because they're too tired from practicing martial arts, but the four people in this room still haven't moved, and those who should be snoring are still snoring.
Ma Chuan patted on the door, and the loud noise finally woke up the four people in the room.
Facing the puzzled eyes of the four people, Ma Chuan said loudly: "This is Senior Brother Sun Dalang Sun, and I will be in the same room with you in the future." ”
After finishing speaking, Ma Chuan didn't stay long, he still had the task of guarding the door, and left directly.
The four people in the room, after looking at Sun Jue, fell down again, and they didn't mean to say hello to Sun Jue.
Sun Jue was also happy to do so, and looked directly at the empty position.
There is a window, but I sleep in the bed, and I can't feel the wind, so no one lives.
Sun Jue didn't care, looking at the bare bed, and planned to go out to get a straw mat first, so that he could sleep more comfortably at night.
By the way, I also bought some daily necessities.
Although I don't plan to stay here for long, I still have to have what I should have, and it's a big deal to take it with me when the time comes.
Just as Sun Jue was about to leave the room, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Boy, if you want to stay here, then buy a jar of wine for Ye and come back, otherwise...... Hum! ”
Hearing this, Sun Jue couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The only people who can live here are apprentices.
This person even dared to take a big and pose music in front of him?
Sun Jue turned around and saw that a rather burly young man had already stood up.
The other three people also sat on the bed, with expressions of watching a play.
Sun Jue shook his head slightly, sometimes it's like this, if you don't make trouble, trouble will come by yourself.
He didn't mean to say anything cruel, and directly crossed the distance between the two of them in three or two steps, and greeted the young man directly in the face with a punch.
This young man may have learned the palm technique for a while, and his reaction was not slow, and he immediately raised his hand to parry.
But Sun Jue's punch was just a false shot, and he swept under his feet, directly making the young man stumble, and then pressed him to the ground.
A few more grappling postures directly made the young man scream like a pig.
The other three saw Sun Jue so fierce, and then looked at Sun Jue's somewhat meaningful eyes, and suddenly looked away uncomfortably.
Seeing this, Sun Jue let go of the young man.
"Don't pretend in front of me, otherwise next time it won't be as simple as today."
Clapping his hands, Sun Jue Shi Ran walked out of the room, leaving the young man who was still lying on the ground wailing, and there were three other people who looked at each other.
Even if Sun Jue's martial arts are now gone, just with his rich fighting experience, it is not something that these young people can compare.
"With this lesson, these people should stop a little."
Sun Jue was not interested in subduing them, and then accepted them as junior brothers.
He didn't have that leisure.
The reason why he made such a brazen move was to deter these people and provoke him less in the future.
As for the rest, Sun Jue didn't care.
What to make friends and the like is not in Sun Jue's options.
……
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the apprentices in each courtyard got up early, and then came to the large courtyard in the center of the martial arts hall.
Senior brother Liu Tieping saw that everyone had arrived, so he began to teach the Iron Power Martial Arts Pavilion's introductory palm technique, the Lieyang Palm.
It sounds like a powerful thing, but it's the most basic martial arts.
This method is not only a practice method, but also a means to fight the enemy.
Perhaps in order to take care of a beginner like Sun Jue, Liu Tieping started from the beginning: "This Burning Sun Palm has a total of nine styles, and each style has three variations...... This scorching sun palm is violent, and the palm is strong......"
"But for you, if you want to train your internal strength, the first thing is to practice the moves proficiently, cooperate with the decoction and diet, increase your strength, boil your muscles and bones, hold your qi and blood, and feel the feeling of qi in the dark."
"Then with the true meaning of the Burning Sun Palm, the qi sense will be trained into internal force."
"Now I'm going to show you the Sun Palm again."
Liu Tieping began to practice one move at a time, explaining from time to time.
After that, the apprentices were left to practice on their own, and then he and some other disciples began to help correct their mistakes.
The Burning Sun Palm is not complicated, and for Sun Jue, it is a piece of cake.
It is a very simple thing to master the Sun Palm.
However, for Sun Jue, being in the limelight is not a good thing.
So, he deliberately pretended to be similar to the apprentices next to him.
Liu Tieping passed by and saw that Sun Jue's movements were quite standard, and he was about to catch up with the apprentice who had been in school for half a month, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Subsequently, he was interested and stepped forward to guide Sun Jue.
Sun Jue also took advantage of the trend to "correct" it.
But in the following days, Liu Tieping was a little disappointed.
Because although Sun Jue's scorching sun palm is good, it only has its shape, and Sun Jue is a little old, and his physical condition is average.
Speaking of this, Sun Jue is actually a little helpless.
This body is a congenital deficit, even if life has improved a lot later, but in the end it is still a lot worse.
Therefore, Sun Jue is just making up for some congenital deficits these days.
Even if he had already grasped the true meaning of the Sun Palm at this time, there was no way to restore his body immediately.
"If you want to achieve a level where you can feel the full blood and qi clearly, you need to keep exercising and tonifying......"
Seeing that the time of a month is about to come, Sun Jue himself is still in a state where he can't sense qi.
"This body is very ordinary, and this process of making up for it needs to be done slowly, and I can't be in a hurry, so when the time of the month is up, I will leave directly."
In this Iron Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, because there are many secrets on his body, there are many things that Sun Jue can't perform.
Therefore, Sun Jue plans to leave here temporarily, wait until he makes up for the deficit of this body and practices his internal strength, and then come back to seek future martial arts.
"Moreover, this Burning Sun Palm is very simple, although the martial arts in this world are different from the previous world, but many truths are still the same, I can completely improve it, so that my foundation is more solid."
"However, these things can't be done here, there are too many people, and it's really inconvenient."
Sun Jue washed off his sweat in the courtyard, and when he returned to the room, he saw that the young man who had asked him for wine before was packing up his things.
Seeing Sun Jue come in, the young man only glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze.
Sun Jue went back to his bed and sat down.
For the other four people, Sun Jue didn't even bother to speak.
The others were also very knowledgeable and didn't stick to it.
Therefore, in the past month, they have only spoken four or five words to each other.
After a short time, the young man left without saying a word with his salute.
One of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, Li Zhuo persisted for five months, but he still couldn't practice his internal strength, so he had to leave." ”
"If I can't practice my internal strength next month, I can only leave, and my family has no money for me to practice martial arts."
In addition to the "apprenticeship ceremony" of ten taels of silver per month, if you want to make rapid progress, you can use the silver to buy medicinal soup from the second senior brother to accelerate the strengthening of muscles and bones, and strengthen qi and blood.
A pair of medicine is one tael of silver, and if you drink it every day, it will be thirty taels of silver a month, which is not something that these people can afford.
Although Sun Jue has spare money, he has never bought it.
Even if he hadn't drunk it, he knew from other people's reactions that the decoction was indeed useful.
After drinking, practicing martial arts can be compared to two or three days of kung fu on weekdays.
If you drink it for a long time, it adds up to a huge improvement.
Therefore, anyone who has better conditions at home will drink this decoction every day.
Even those with average conditions at home should drink every once in a while to speed up the progress.
The so-called poor literature and rich martial arts are vividly embodied at this moment.
Another older one answered: "If you can practice internal strength, you can really worship the Iron Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, so I plan to fight hard, find someone to borrow some silver, drink a little more decoction, and practice internal strength earlier." ”
"Then I'll fight it too."
The last one of them spoke.
Listening to the conversation between the three, Sun Jue shook his head secretly.
This decoction could naturally speed up their cultivation progress.
However, it is a three-part poison, which must have a negative impact on the body.
And the more you drink, the higher the drug resistance, and the worse the effect will be.
Ultimately, it's up to them.
Sun Jue didn't try to persuade either, don't they know this truth?
I'm sure I'd have heard of it, but they chose to do it anyway.
They just want to fight, hoping to step into the door of martial arts.
[If I didn't have the memory and accumulation of the previous life, I guess I would be similar to them. 】
Sun Jue thought so in his heart, and then regained his composure.
He already has his own plan, so naturally he won't change it easily.
