on the river beach.

A small figure, fisting crookedly.

Take a closer look, isn't this in the morning, Shen Xingliu taught him boxing.

"When you fight, you have to get up from the ground so that you don't get knocked down." At this time, a voice came from behind Xiao Chizi.

"Hero, you're here,"

Xiao Chizi turned around and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Because Shen Xingliu was watching him boxing with his arms on his chest, he didn't know how long he had been watching, "I'm sorry hero, am I too stupid?" ”

Compared with the unruliness of the little wolf, the little pool is more shy. This kind of character is not bad, at least he is down-to-earth and willing to work, but I'm afraid he won't be able to stand the blow.

Shen Xingliu let out a long sigh, walked over slowly, and raised a hand to put it on Xiao Chizi's head, "You are selected by me, whoever says you are stupid, I will beat him." ”

"If it doesn't work once, then twice, three times..."

When Xiao Chizi saw the hero coming, he was still a little flustered, and he never thought that there was no sense of blame.

"Eun, shall I continue then?" Xiao Chizi's face was slightly red, and he said excitedly.

"Well, there's no need, you can practice the basics first, come on, take a horse step." Shen Xingliu pondered for a moment, this is indeed a bit of a seedling pulling.

"Eun, how long?"

As he spoke, he posed and asked innocently.

"Let's come for two hours first..."

"Plop..."

Xiao Chizi's knees weakened, but he immediately stood up again, and said again and again: "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”

Immediately after, Shen Xingliu took out a piece of gravel that he didn't know where to find it and put it on top of his head.

"Stand still, don't move," he said with satisfaction after placing the stone, "as soon as the stone hits the ground, start the timer again." ”

The small pool was covered with gravel, and he didn't even dare to breathe for the atmosphere.

"Exhale, exhale..."

Shen Xingliu is happy, what should I do if I don't breathe, I can't suffocate to death, "Well, that's it, let your breath move with your body." So that the stones don't fall off. ”

Time passed bit by bit, and after teaching Xiao Chizi the breathing method, Shen Xingliu also turned around and found a piece of dry sand and sat down cross-legged.

Although there have been signs of a breakthrough in the Sun Sutra in recent days, it is still not so easy from the experience of the previous two times.

Every breakthrough meant that he was on the verge of death once, and he gradually understood the meaning of nine turns and birth.

Damn, this is not an exercise that humans can practice.

If you don't get it right, and you really die, it's over.

Three turns, three turns...

If you want to break through, you have to constantly fight to the death.

"Hero? Are you still there? Xiao Chizi only felt the heat rolling behind him, but he didn't dare to turn around, and asked curiously.

"I'm here." Shen Xingliu closed his eyes and went to cultivate, but he also responded to him.

Two simple words seem to make Xiao Chizi sweep away the fatigue on his body, "Can I worship you as a teacher and call you Master?" ”

Although he was terrified, he still stammered and said what he wanted, even if he was rejected, he had to try it.

After being silent for a long time, two words popped out of Shen Xingliu's mouth, "No." ”

"Oh..."

Xiao Chizi showed an expression that he had known for a long time, and his big eyes lost their original brilliance, the apprentice of the hero, how can he be a genius.

As for himself, he is just a stupid boy, and he is fortunate to have the opportunity to step into the ranks of martial artists.

How can we have a different mind and climb high branches?

"Ahh

Shen Xingliu let out a long sigh and explained, "You and I are not the same way, I can't teach you anything, and you can't learn my exercises, so you can't call me master." ”

"I see, Dao? What is Tao? After hearing the explanation, Xiao Chizi was even more puzzled.

"The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, and you still need to realize it yourself."

Shen Xingliu opened his eyes and said in a soft tone: "However, you can call me Brother Shen like the little wolf." ”

"Really?"

Xiao Chizi turned his head excitedly, he didn't think that the gravel on his head had fallen, but he was still overjoyed, "Brother Shen, I'll time it again." ”

It was almost over, because the small action was about to start from the beginning, but Xiao Chi didn't have the slightest frustration.

Under the dusk, the small pool posed and stood against the gravel, as if it had inexhaustible energy.

The crew was both relieved and envious, looking at the long shadow that was stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun.

He was called back to dinner, but he didn't hear it, and he only focused on the horse steps.

......

At dinner.

Tang Xuanxuan counted the number of people, and even the little wolf who had entered the mountain to cultivate came back on time at the meal, dragging a half-dead little eight.

"Xingliu, how wrong is this number." Tang Xuanxuan snapped her fingers and counted three or four times, but there was one less person.

"Huh? What's wrong," Shen Xingliu squatted in the corner with a sea bowl and snorted into a mouthful of noodles.

"It seems that there is a small pond missing..."

Teach others to practice, why are there no more people?

Tang Xuanxuan crossed her waist and asked for someone angrily, "What about others?" ”

"Uh, hasn't he come back yet?" Shen Xingliu muttered, patted his head, and said, ", he won't still be there..."

Shen Xingliu swallowed the noodles in the bowl in two or three bites "in a daze", and then pulled Tang Xuanxuan and went to the river beach.

On the edge of the river, under a round of jibbous moon.

Even though the tide was ankle-high, the small pool remained motionless.

"Xiao Chizi, why are you still here? It's all high tide. Tang Xuanxuan immediately ran over and was about to pull him back.

But he refused: "Miss, wait a little longer, and I will finish today's cultivation." ”

"What kind of cultivation?" She looked suspicious and glanced at Shen Xingliu, who was scratching her head in embarrassment, "Okay, did you do it?" ”

"I can't blame Brother Shen, I'm too stupid," Xiao Chizi exhaled and said, "It's a two-hour horse step, and it won't work for a moment." ”

Hearing this, Shen Xingliu nodded again and again, "The son can be taught." ”

"Hmph, no matter what you are, one or two of them are martial arts maniacs."

Tang Xuanxuan was so angry that she stomped her feet, puffed out her cheeks, and crossed her waist and left.

"Brother Shen, eldest lady, is she okay," Xiao Chizi said weakly.

"Hey, leave her alone,"

Shen Xingliu knew her character very well, how could she be really angry because of this, "It's you, if we come late, you will be washed away by the river." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he pointed out, and a line of fire immediately came out from his fingertips, swimming zigzag towards the direction of the small pool.

"Whew! Wow! ”

The line of fire swept across the river, but instead of being extinguished, the tide was divided into a circular blank area.

With the small pond as the center, three feet around, a wall of fire actually rose.

The rest of the flames were wrapped around Xiao Chizi's ankles, and then his waist, chest, and arms were all covered by a circle of fire.

"Calm your mind, relax your whole body, and feel the flow of breath in your body with your heart." Shen Xingliu stood on the bank of the river with his hands in his hands.

Xiao Chizi was a little excited at first, and when the flames came, he was even a little scared, but when he thought that this was Brother Shen's fire, he still didn't move a step.

Who knew that the flames did not hurt him in the slightest, and also warmed his cold body, which was already soaked in the river.

Listening to Brother Shen's words, he slowly closed his eyes.

A warm current rises from the lower abdomen and gradually flows to the veins of the whole body, warming most of the body, as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring pool.

"Whew..."

Xiao Chizi inadvertently exhaled a breath of turbidity, although he felt that his whole body was slimy, but his body was indescribably free.

Shen Xingliu on the shore nodded, I really didn't expect that the first time I helped someone wash the marrow and cut the bones, it would have such an effect, and it seemed that I would have to use it more in the future.

Most of the flames were absorbed by him, but some escaped.

It seems that he is still limited by talent.

Rao is like this, and it is enough for Xiao Chizi to be happy for a while.

"When the time comes, you can take a shower here first, and we will go back to dinner." Shen Xingliu saw him squirming and pinching, so he laughed softly and turned his back.

"Boom..."

After a while, there was a sound of splashing water behind him, which rang for about a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Chi, who had finally been cleaned, tied his belt, stepped forward, and said worriedly, "Is there still dinner?" ”

"Yes, of course."

Ahh

Why is Brother Shen so sure, he made the eldest lady angry just now.

Suspicious, the two came to the compound.

Shen Xingliu twitched his nose and opened the lid of the pot, and there were two bowls of noodles warm inside, "Oh, let's eat, I've eaten it." ”

The noodles are already a little lumpy, but it is difficult to hide their deliciousness, and Xiao Chizi doesn't understand, why is he angry and still leaves us food?

And Brother Shen seems to have known about it for a long time, alas, let's eat noodles.

......

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, Xiao Chizi and Xiao Wolf got up before anyone could call.

The crew tinkled to repair the ship, while the two little ones tempered themselves.

However, Shen Xingliu had two dark circles under his eyes, and he knew that he was studying the "magnetic mask" with Tang Xuanxuan, and those who didn't know thought it was...

Compared with yesterday, the little wolf's running speed has been improved, but the small pool is also comparable, and the two of them are surprised by each other's changes.

Later, it was even better than the race.

Shen Xingliu didn't have time to care about the two of them, he sat cross-legged, activated his internal force, and after running for a few weeks, he immediately became refreshed.

After taking them to box, he started to be a shopkeeper, only feeling that teaching others was more tiring than practicing by himself.

This may be another small reason why he is reluctant to accept apprentices, anyway, both of them have found a suitable method for their own cultivation.

By the way, check out the restoration work of the ship, which is almost finished, and it will be launched tomorrow.

"Little Wuzi, come over here." Shen Xingliu shouted at Ruan Xiaowu, who was busy.

Ruan Xiaowu had just gotten off the boat and came running with a puff of smoke, "Daxia, are you calling me something?" ”

Without replying, Shen Xingliu smiled slightly, just glanced at him.

He had already used the method of contemplating qi, and saw that the qi on the latter's body was not as majestic as when it was in the third grade, but it was a little more pure.

With such a pure breath, it seems that Guo Qi is right, Xiao Wuzi's hands are clean.
