Volume 1 The Family Chapter 49 "Eclipse of Life and Gathering Yaodan"
"Look at the move!"
A loud shout rang out across the wilderness, and a teenager flew out of the air and kicked down! On the ground, a rough-looking shirtless man looked up at the young man, and then took a lunge, bent his left arm in front of him, and the young man's leg kicked heavily on the big man's left arm, but the big man didn't move!
At this moment, the big man's left arm pushed forward slightly, and before the young man landed, he flipped outward, grabbed the young man's ankle, and at the same time, the right arm that clenched the iron fist hit the young man's abdomen with a punch!
"When ββ!"
The iron fist hit the young man's abdomen, and a crisp sound suddenly sounded. After being punched, the boy didn't fight back, and the big man moved his left arm again and pulled the boy out.
After several weeks of spinning in mid-air, the boy landed on the ground, looking at each other warily.
"Alright, that's it." A middle-aged man sitting next to him spoke up.
Hearing this, the two stopped fighting and walked towards middle age.
"Teacher." Mu Jingxi said.
"How does it feel?" Tantai asked.
"Indeed, there is no small gap between me and him." Mu Jingxi replied.
Just now, he fought with Li Tao for more than ten rounds, and between offense and defense, Mu Jingxi was often at a disadvantage. Most of his attacks were defused by Li Tao, and Li Tao could often counterattack at the same time when defending, while on top of Li Tao's attack, he often made tricky moves, and two-stage and three-stage attacks emerged one after another, making it difficult for Mu Jingxi to deal with. What's more, Li Tao's offensive and defensive transitions are often unconscious conditioned reflexes, while he often needs to think. He knows that this is a gap brought about by actual combat experience!
"Little brother said with a smile, I just took advantage of the way I fought. I can feel that your spiritual power is much stronger than mine, and if you take a long-distance attack, or if you launch a martial art, I won't be able to bargain. I'm not afraid of your jokes, we people can achieve some in hand-to-hand combat, but it is also because our spiritual power is not strong enough to make up for it because we dare not use martial arts wantonly. Li Tao said modestly.
His words are not to praise Mu Jingxi, Li Tao knows that he is just taking advantage of the rules, martial artists often have different fighting styles, although some people are not too strong in hand-to-hand combat, but their strength is indeed extremely powerful, especially some martial artists with strong spiritual power, not only strong combat continuity, but also can rely on spiritual power to continuously launch martial arts, only those who are not strong in spiritual power will develop extremely strong fighting skills because they dare not use martial arts at will. Just like the night ghost and the cross bee, once you activate your martial arts, it will be the time of life and death!
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was noncommittal, but didn't say anything. Indeed, the combat power of a martial artist is not only hand-to-hand combat, whether it is Li Tao or the barbarian king, if he does not fight in hand-to-hand combat, with sustained strength and martial arts, Mu Jingxi is seventy percent sure of defeating them. After all, in terms of comprehensive strength, Mu Jingxi may be a little stronger than them. But Mu Jingxi's purpose this time is to practice hand-to-hand combat, and of course he will not fight like before.
"In your opinion, what is Jing Xi's hand-to-hand combat skills?" Ming Mo asked Yutai.
"Well, it's true, but it's nothing to the battle-hardened veterans in the arena." Li Tao pondered for a moment and spoke.
Hearing this, although Mu Jingxi's face was a little unpleasant, he didn't refute it, and when he fought with the barbarian king, Mu Jingxi was indeed extremely embarrassed.
"I don't know if you know the barbarian king?" Mu Jingxi asked.
"Acquaintance, what's wrong?" Li Tao replied.
"He was the one I fought before, so I wanted to ask you if you know how to wrestle."
"I see, I know a little bit about wrestling, but it's not a strong point. But I fought the barbarian king once. Li Tao said.
"Did you win?" Mu Jingxi asked.
"No, I had a conflict with him off the court, and after more than a dozen rounds, it was a draw, but I was pulled away before the winner was decided." Li Tao said.
"That's good!" Mu Jingxi was a little excited. This Li Tao has faced off with the barbarian king, and he must have some experience in dealing with the method of beating and grabbing, which can just help Mu Jingxi. And he also knows some wrestling and grappling, as long as he teaches Mu Jingxi, Mu Jingxi is confident that he can come up with a way to deal with it by himself!
"Brother Li Tao, please teach me some skills, and by the way, tell me about those wrestling and grappling methods!" Mu Jingxi hugged his fists.
"In that case, Brother Mu spoke, I will not have reservations." Li Tao said.
"Let's get started!" Mu Jingxi was an anxious person, and hurriedly spoke. Li Tao is also a cheerful person, and immediately led Mu Jingxi to training.
Seeing that these two people were in a hurry, Yutai Mingmo smiled faintly and left.
"Let me tell you about this wrestling method first. Although it is not my forte, I am not weak in this area, and I hope to give you some help. Li Tao said.
Mu Jingxi nodded, he could see that Li Tao was as good at punches and kicks as he was, but for Mu Jingxi, a person who didn't know anything about wrestling, even if Li Tao was just rough, it would be quite beneficial to him, not to mention that Li Tao's wrestling skills were not weak?
"Wrestling techniques are different from punches and kicks, in that they have a shorter attack distance, more techniques, and can be mixed with fists and kicks, which is considered an extremely practical kung fu. One is to inflict damage on the opponent by throwing, and the other is to use grappling and anti-joint! There are many different types of wrestling. Li Tao introduced.
Immediately, Li Tao put on a posture and demonstrated to Mu Jingxi: "In wrestling, you must first lower your center of gravity and make full use of the strength of your hands, shoulders, back, waist, and legs......"
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi kept them in mind one by one. After demonstrating some basic things, Li Tao began to introduce the common routines of demonstration wrestling: "Although there are many genres, wrestling still has some basic skills, in terms of attack, there are:
wrapping, holding, grabbing, holding, slapping, racking, holding;
kicking, hitting, falling, tearing, collapsing, stabbing, entering;
Don't, pick, hook, push, twist, kneel, lean;
Hold, play, pull, cut, resist, buckle, cover;
Hugging legs, hooking legs, inserting flashes, knife hooks and so on. β
Seeing Li Tao demonstrating his actions one by one, Mu Jingxi watched, remembered, and understood. In order to deepen the impression, Li Tao used Mu Jingxi's body as a prop to make one action after another, and used it on Mu Jingxi's body in turn, and at the same time explained the technical essentials for him. After Mu Jingxi understood, Li Tao asked Mu Jingxi to take himself as a target and conduct a drill, and when there were deficiencies, Li Tao instructed Mu Jingxi to make corrections.
Under Li Tao's detailed explanation, Mu Jingxi gradually understood this wrestling grappling. At the same time, Mu Jingxi also kept recalling the scenes of the battle with the barbarian king that day in his mind, and Mu Jingxi gradually had a clear understanding of the previous puzzling moves.
At the time of the half-unitary, it is sinking westward. The red sun enters the mountain, scattering the red on the earth, and the wilderness is as beautiful as a picture.
In this picture scroll, two figures, one large and one small, staggered and flickered in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the yellow dust flew, cutting out changing silhouettes one by one in the red ze of the ground.
The two of them handed over their feet, hooked and kicked back and forth, fought with their arms, and grabbed and pushed from time to time. The opponent's arms, neck, shoulders, back, and legs are all competing for each other's targets, and the speed of changing four or five moves in the blink of an eye is dazzling! Then the changes between you and me, gestures, and deduce the beauty of strength!
Mu Jingxi is very perceptive, and with Li Tao's detailed guidance, he comprehended those techniques in a short time! Coupled with this whole afternoon of practice, I am basically familiar with these moves. In addition, Mu Jingxi accepted Li Tao's suggestion and fused his fist and foot moves with wrestling techniques, which was already a good look. Although he is not as skilled as Li Tao, he is no longer inferior in the fight with Li Tao!
Mu Jingxi's comprehension is so high that Li Tao is also extremely shocked! Although the sparring between the two is not aimed at winning, leaving room for each other, Mu Jingxi's progress is also amazing!
Just between the two fighting, Li Tao grabbed the flaw, reached out and grabbed Mu Jingxi's leg, and grabbed Mu Jingxi's collar with the other hand, and then his waist and arm exerted his strength and lifted Mu Jingxi high, and then Li Tao twisted his waist, pushed with both hands, and threw Mu Jingxi out, and in an instant, Mu Jingxi retracted the other leg that was not restrained, and kicked on Li Tao's chest at the same time as being thrown out!
"Bang!"
Mu Jingxi was thrown out of two feet and fell to the ground, and Li Tao was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground by Mu Jingxi.
"Haha, happy!" Mu Jingxi looked up to the sky and smiled.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A burst of applause came, and the two looked at it, only to see that on the small earthen bag in the distance, Yutai stood with a smile at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"Sir."
"Teacher."
The two hurriedly said hello. Yutai Mingmo nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Mu Jingxi's fighting skills had improved a lot.
"Let's practice here today, it's getting late, and we have to go back." Yutai Mingmo said with a smile.
Hearing this, as soon as Mu Jingxi wanted to get up and leave, Li Tao hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Two benevolent fathers, if you don't dislike it, can you have dinner here." β
Seeing Li Tao staying, the master and apprentice glanced at each other.
"Although there is nothing to entertain, but this is a piece of my heart, and I hope I don't refuse." Li Tao thought that the two of them were disgusted, and hurriedly said.
Seeing this, the master and apprentice both smiled, they were not coquettish lovers, and they did not mean to dislike it. After all, when the Henggong Mountains were mixed, all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits were used to satisfy hunger. Seeing Li Tao's sincere eyes, the two simply refused and responded.
Seeing that the two agreed, Li Tao suddenly blossomed and hurriedly welcomed the two home.
Bringing tables and chairsβin fact, there were only a few tree stumps, and Li Tao invited the two to sit under the grass hut next to the bedroom, and made a fire, and then ordered Li Lan to entertain them, and then Li Tao trotted all the way away.
"I don't know where Brother Li Tao is going?" Mu Jingxi asked curiously.
"About a mile from here, there is a small village of more than a dozen families, and my brother said that he couldn't neglect the two benefactors and go buy something and come back." Li Lan replied.
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice glanced at each other, but they felt a little embarrassed.
After a while, Li Tao ran back out of breath, holding two live fish in his hands, and he didn't care about resting, so Li Tao began to be busy, killing chickens and fish, washing vegetables and cooking rice, and took out a piece of washed slate as a pot, and scrambled five eggs for Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice. Looking at Li Tao's rugged appearance, he was doing these jobs at this time, and he felt a little happy.
When it was ready to be served, the four of them made eight dishes. A roast chicken, a stewed chicken, a fish soup, a scrambled egg, and four vegetarian dishes, although the tools are indecent, but the portion is full. These dishes actually used up all the oil in Li Tao's house, and it can be said that in order to entertain the two, Li Tao was really bleeding. Looking at these dishes, although it is not a beautiful view, Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice can feel a piece of their hearts.
During the meal, Mu Jingxi knew what it meant to be rough, although he hated those red tapes since he was a child, and was reprimanded by his elders for his indecent appearance, but compared with Li Tao, he was still much more elegant. But Mu Jingxi likes Li Tao's "indecent" very much.
"By the way, why doesn't Sister Li Lan go to the table." Seeing Li Lan alone, Mu Jingxi asked.
Hearing this, Li Tao's brother and sister were a little embarrassed, although Li Lan's illness was not contagious, but the two were still worried that they would be disliked by Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice, so they would have such an arrangement.
Yutai Mingmo knew what the two of them were thinking, and said, "It's okay, come here." β
Seeing this, Li Lan also went to the table at Li Tao's signal, and the brother and sister were a little moved, and every guest at home on weekdays wanted to stay away from Li Lan, but they didn't expect Mu Jingxi's master and apprentice to be disliked. After dinner, Li Tao accompanied Mu Jingxi and the two to talk.
"By the way, Brother Mu, I don't know how old you are this year?" Li Tao asked.
"Thirteen." Mu Jingxi replied lightly.
"What?" Li Tao was taken aback, Li Tao had felt that Mu Jingxi had an extraordinary background before, after all, seeing that he looked so young, but he actually stepped into the Jiuyao realm, there should be a strong background behind him, but anyway, it was really amazing to be able to enter the Jiuyao realm at a young age, such a talent, but he felt that Mu Jingxi should be sixteen years old, but he didn't expect that this young man was only thirteen years old!
"I thought you were at least sixteen, but even though you're almost tall, I thought you were shorter than your peers." Li Tao wiped Han, his voice trembling a little. What is the concept of a person who entered the Nine Yao Realm at the age of thirteen? That's a realm that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime!
"Hehe, don't be surprised, this kid just has more pills from snacks and made up for it." Ignoring Mu Jingxi's eyes, he said with a smile.
Li Tao nodded, it is true that some children of big names have been able to practice advanced exercises since they were young, and they have taken many heavenly and earthly treasures to help them cultivate, but the youngest Jiuyao Realm powerhouse with normal cultivation that he has seen over the years, that is, the son of the city lord of Huacang City, relying on his talent far beyond ordinary people and the support of his family, he also reached the Jiuyao Realm at the age of twenty.
"However, it is not impossible that his master is this gentleman." Li Tao thought.
"It's you, it shocked us, but twenty-two, and without the advantage of the exercises, and the support of the pill, you can actually enter the Jiuyao Realm, I have to say that you are very powerful." Mu Jingxi exclaimed.
Hearing this, Li Lan's face suddenly became not very good-looking, Mu Jingxi didn't know what to do, and asked carefully, "Did I say the wrong thing?" β
"Haha, I don't blame you, that's right, I am indeed in the Jiuyao Realm, but I am not a normal cultivator." Signaling Li Lan to leave, Li Tao said to Mu Jingxi.
"Oh?"
"Actually, two and a half years ago, I was just a martial artist in the late stage of the Martial Master Realm." After a pause, Li Tao's expression was a little gloomy, and he said: "Xiaolan has been weak since she was a child, two and a half years ago, that is, when she was sick, I thought that it would be the same as before, and it would not be long before I got better, but ......, that is, in order to cure the disease, I began to look for work everywhere, but I couldn't make up the money for the medicine at all, so in desperation, I went to the big arena and took the pill they gave...... Don't be surprised, in fact, there is no way, otherwise where to make money, then Yi Mulan Xiang in order to train racers, often look for us locals, one is to know the roots, the other is easy to control, they signed a contract with us to train us to become Jiuyao Realm martial artists, and as long as we don't die, we will perform for them for twenty years. Li Tao was a little heavy.
"What did they give you?" Tantai asked at the end of the year.
"A spirit level elixir called the Lost Life Gathering Pill, its effect is to overdraw a person's life force, and it can turn a person in the Martial Master Realm into a Nine Yao Realm martial artist within three days. However, the person who takes it will stop at this level for the rest of their lives, and their lifespan will be shortened to 20 years. Most of the racers in the arena have taken it. Li Tao said again.
Hearing this, Mu Jingxi was also shocked, he didn't expect this Li Tao to make such a big sacrifice for Li Lan.
"Wouldn't it be that even if you cure your sister, you will continue to participate in the competition?" Mu Jingxi said.
"Yes, unless you can give them enough ransom money, who would dare to disobey the Mulan Fragrance Garden? That's ...... end," Li Tao said with some despair.
"Is there a solution?" Ming Mo asked Yutai.
"I heard that if I can invite a high-level alchemist, there is a chance of resolution, but how can I have that ability, unless there is some great opportunity, I ......"
"Teacher, you can't help it?" Mu Jingxi asked.
"I'm not omnipotent, I specialize in art, although I know some medical science, but I can't do it for pills." The end of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's good to cure my sister, I haven't told her these words, please keep it secret!" Li Tao said open-mindedly.
Hearing this, both of them nodded.
