Since ancient times humans came out of ignorance, they have been fighting against nature in order to survive. Slash-and-burn farming, sleeping in the open, the vast wilderness is full of dangers, all kinds of wild beasts are dormant in it, in the struggle between survival and death, in the bloody struggle, human beings have slowly explored a weapon that can fight against nature, that is, martial arts.

The so-called martial arts are the techniques of martial arts. For thousands of years, human beings have never stopped exploring themselves, and after the research and development of countless sages, the system of martial arts has gradually matured. Generally speaking, it is divided into internal training (qi training) and external training, and both internal and external training can be practiced at the same time.

The internal strength is mainly to practice qi and internal strength, absorb the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, strengthen oneself, and practice to the profound, the body is a heaven and earth, and there is endless power between gestures;

External skills include hands, eyes, body steps, fists, legs, palms, elbows and knees, etc., which derives the use of "nine long and nine short" eighteen weapons. The nine lengths are: guns, halberds, sticks, axes, forks, boring, hooks, lances, and ge; The nine short are: knives, swords, crutches, axes, whips, maces, hammers, rods, and pestles. In addition, there are various hidden weapons such as flying targets and poison darts, as well as medicinal skills. There are many capable people in the world, and the weapons and tricks are inexhaustible.

Internal strength is the foundation of all external strength, if the external strength is strong and the internal strength is insufficient, the excessive pursuit of subtlety moves and neglect the cultivation of internal strength, will eventually be a source of water, a tree without roots, and it will be difficult to continue in the long run; If the external strength is insufficient but the internal strength is strong, it is like a child picking a big knife, and it is difficult to exert its power. Internal strength and external strength complement each other, and both internal and external cultivation is the right way.

Most of the warriors wore weapons, especially swords. The knife is the handsome of the hundred soldiers, is a single-edged fighting weapon used for chopping, its body is narrow and long, the blade is thick and the ridge is thick, and the lethality is huge. Sword, the ancient holy product also, the supreme and noble, the god of salt, is the ancestor of the short soldier, the weapon of close combat, since ancient times seen in the vertical and horizontal battlefield, dominate the martial arts, chivalrous and righteous, since the sword emperor of Western Chu cut a thousand people with a sword, the sword is more respected and loved by the warriors.

In a small mountain village on the border of the Tang Kingdom, a lively event is happening today, and that is the annual intra-clan competition. The Tang Kingdom was still martial, and the army was known to be famous in the world, and under this influence, most of the people also knew some shallow martial arts. Adults are even more keen to train children to practice martial arts from an early age, and if they are fortunate enough to pass the selection of the Tang Army, it will be a great joy for the glory of the ancestors.

The clansmen who get good grades in the big competition in the clan can get more food and prey, and more importantly, it is a kind of honor, and they can raise their eyebrows when they walk on the path at the head of the village, and they also have the capital to brag about their children. Young boys and children who can achieve good grades will be able to obtain the few resources in the village to cultivate, and they can also practice martial arts and practice martial arts secrets. That's the secret of martial arts, and it has an unparalleled attraction for the teenagers and children in this small mountain village.

At this time, on the gravel paved path in the village, a child of about five or six years old was running out of breath, and if you looked closely, this child had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a round face, a high nose, and a head of black hair, quite handsome.

"Xiao Yanzi, why are you in such a hurry?" The aunt on the side of the road stopped the little boy and asked.

The aunt is about forty years old, with black shiny hair and a round and plump face, and you can tell at a glance that she is a warm and cheerful person.

The boy known as "Xiao Yanzi" said as he ran: "Auntie, I'm in a hurry to participate in the big competition in the clan, it's almost too late!" “

The boy's name is Lin Yan, and he is not a child of this small mountain village. On a stormy night a few years ago, the patriarch picked him up in front of his house. At that time, the rain was fierce and the thunder was loud, and the patriarch's eyes were dizzy, and when he opened the door, he only saw a small black dot flying away in the distance, like a figure. In addition, what catches your eye is Lin Yan wrapped in a brocade quilt.

The lightning flashed and thundered, Xiao Lin Yan was so frightened that he cried, the patriarch, a bachelor who has been single for fifty or sixty years, really can't coax the child, so he has to learn to gently hold Xiao Lin Yan in his arms like a woman in the village, shaking and coaxing, making grimaces to tease him, an old man who is over half a hundred years old does this kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, it is a little coke. It's strange to say, after a while, Xiao Lin Yan stopped crying, looking at the patriarch giggling.

At that time, when the patriarch picked up Xiao Lin Yan, he hung a gold longevity lock around his neck, engraved with a unicorn pattern on one side, and inlaid with a treasure jade on the other side, with the word "Yan" engraved on it. Since I don't know the surname of the child's parents, most of the people in the village have the surname Lin, so the patriarch named the child Lin Yan.

At that time, there were a lot of jokes about the name, most of the people in the village had not been to school for a few days, and they didn't know a few big characters, and the word "Yan" was really a bit complicated for them, and they had been calling him "Xiao Yanzi" until he was three years old.

Later, when the child grew up, he had to have a big name, so the big guys got together to discuss. Some say that if you change it, you will be called Lin Yanbei, and some say that you are a big boss, isn't this fire? Who is old and coarse, the two fire characters stacked together are inflammatory and illiterate. In the end, I have to say that the patriarch is worthy of being the patriarch, there is still a little ink in his stomach, and the final word is a group of illiterates. Since then, Xiao Linyan's name has been decided. But the people in the village are used to being called, so the nickname still calls him "Xiao Yanzi".

Lin Yan has lived in the patriarch's house since he was a child, the villagers in the small mountain are simple, he grew up eating hundreds of family meals, the uncles and aunts in the village all regard Xiao Lin Yan as their own children, and if there is anything delicious, he will greet Xiao Lin Yan to the house as a guest, as well as his brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters play with Xiao Lin Yan, his childhood is not lonely. But at night, when he sees other children being led home by their parents, he will feel lost in his little heart, and he will also think of his parents, how can they cruelly abandon themselves? But after all, it is a child of a few years old, and it is over to think about it.

The patriarch has no children and no daughters, and suddenly there is a little grandson like Lin Yan, who is naturally doubly cared for. When Xiao Lin Yan could speak, he opened his mouth and called "grandpa", and the old man drank two taels of soju happily. Later, Xiao Lin Yan learned to walk, and he ran around the village up and down, and the patriarch was always worried that he would bump into him all day long.

Later, Xiao Lin Yan often saw the uncles and uncles in the village going out hunting, and his big eyes were full of longing, pestering the patriarch to teach him martial arts.

If you want to learn martial arts, you must first do a good job of basic skills. Xiao Lin Yan has been practicing Zama steps since he was three years old, leg skills, waist skills, and arm skills, no matter whether it is hot in summer or cold in winter, Xiao Lin Yan gets up on time to practice in the small courtyard. Every time he saw this, the patriarch had to sigh at his persistence and perseverance, this child was a good seedling of martial arts.

In fact, Xiao Lin Yan's idea is very simple, after practicing martial arts, you can go out hunting, and when the patriarch and grandfather are old, you can take care of him yourself, and you can also protect the people in the village, they are so good to themselves, and they must protect them from harm.

Xiao Lin Yan is six years old this year, after three years of training, he looks thin and thin on the outside, his strength is not small, he can lift dozens of catties of small grinding plates, in his own words, this is the result of cultivation hehe!

The village is not big, and he trotted all the way, and after a while, Xiao Lin Yan arrived at the martial arts arena of the big competition in the clan. It is said that it is a martial arts field, but in fact, a wooden platform is set up in the open space, and the clansmen go on stage in turn to compete, and if they fall off the stage or take the initiative to admit defeat, they will be judged to lose.

Xiao Lin Yan, who was present, searched in the crowd, and saw the patriarch in the middle at a glance, and ran over happily: "Grandpa the patriarch, I'm here!" “
