Taihao sighed at Yuan Shi's kindness, and thought that Nian Yu's sister was so ill-fated, if it wasn't for Master Yuan Shi who picked her up, she might have become an unobeyed person, or a homeless child without relatives and no reason, living a life of displacement. Tai Hao continued to ask: "Senior, just now you said that you have three apprentices, who else is there besides Nian Yu and Dumb Shan?" ”

Yuan Shi said: "There is also the old man's eldest apprentice Fu Yi, but I haven't seen him for three years, and I don't know where he is now." ”

Tai Hao nodded and said, "I see, I think your big apprentice should have his own things to do, and he can't get out, so he didn't come to see you." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Master Yuan Shi a little strangely. Yuan Shi smiled: "I hope so!" ”

"Then did the old-timers pass on the secrets of "Snow Cat Fluttering" to them?" Tai Hao continued to ask.

Hearing this, Yuan Shi sighed and said: "Although the old man loves them very much, in terms of martial arts attainments, their understanding is not enough, and now is not the time to pass on "Snow Cat Fluttering" to them. ”

Tai Hao didn't know what Yuan Shi meant by "understanding", and he didn't continue to ask, he talked a lot with Master Yuan Shi, and after a while, Tian Maung came back. After they finished eating together, Tai Hao listened to Tian Maung Divine Doctor and Master Yuan Shi talk a lot about the past in the rivers and lakes, and chatted until late, Tai Hao would sometimes interject a few words, asking some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, the name of the martial arts master, etc. I don't know when it was, Taihao fell asleep:

On a dark and windy night, Tai Hao walked on a bridge with no end in sight with a sword in his hand. Suddenly, two men in black robes appeared in front of him, Taihao recognized them as two of the "Four Little Ghosts", and when he looked back, he saw the other two little ghosts in the "Four Little Ghosts". The "four little ghosts" let out a cold strange laugh, and approached the position he was standing in step by step, Tai Hao held the sword in his hand and was about to swing, but saw a small boat swimming in the river under the bridge, and the bow of the boat stood actually his own Ah Niang Yueying, Tai Hao wanted to call her loudly, but for some reason, he couldn't make a sound anyway, and his Ah Niang Yueying stood at the bow of the boat and didn't look up at him. Seeing that the "four little ghosts" were about to come to his side, Tai Hao waved his sword, and the "four little ghosts" fell to the ground with a "bang", after Tai Hao killed the "four little ghosts", when he looked under the bridge again, he couldn't find the boat just now, and he didn't know where Ah Niang went......

After Taihao woke up, he saw the morning light shining through the window, which was gorgeous and colorful. Remembering the scene of seeing his aunt in a dream just now, I can't help but feel a feeling of longing in my heart, although I have only been away from home for a few months, I have already returned to my heart like an arrow, but because of the mission, I can't return to my hometown. When he was in Shizhu City, he thought about how to leave his hometown and go to the rivers and lakes every day. But now, I really left my hometown and began to dream of Shizhu City again.

At this time, Yuan Shi came over and shouted, "Child, you have woken up. Brother Tian Maung has gone to see a doctor for the people on the beach again, you go and freshen up first and get ready to eat. ”

Taihao asked: "Senior, I had a dream just now, I dreamed of my aunt, but I couldn't find her in the blink of an eye." ”

Yuan Shi smiled: "You are homesick, child, you will definitely be homesick if you have been away from home for too long." ”

Taihao continued to ask: "Senior, will you be homesick too?" ”

Yuan Shi nodded, sighed softly and said: "No matter who you are, you will be homesick, but the old man is different from you, you know where your home is, and all I can remember is the scene with my junior brothers when I was a child." ”

Tai Hao continued to ask, "Then where is your hometown?" ”

Yuan Shi shook his head and replied lightly: "I don't remember it for a long time. ”

At this time, Doctor Tian Maung had already returned. When he heard that Taihao was awake, he said, "Child, get up quickly." Go freshen up first, hot water is ready for you. ”

After Taihao finished freshening up, Tian Maung took Taihao to have breakfast together. After everything was done, Tian Maung didn't have time to rest, and was invited by an old man again, saying that his grandson was sick and had been bedridden, and his head was burned. Doctor Tian Maung did not refuse, and hurriedly followed out.

Yuan Shi and Tai Hao basked in the sun outside Tian Maung's house for a while, and Yuan Shi suddenly asked Tai Hao: "Child, do you still want to learn martial arts?" ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he didn't know what Master Yuan Shi meant for a while. Hurriedly asked, "Senior, what do you mean?" ”

"That's right, the old man wants to take you as an apprentice." Yuan Shi looked Taihao up and down, and then said: "Last night, the old man tossed and turned, and after thinking about it for a long time, I am old, and I should completely withdraw from the rivers and lakes." But "Snow Cat Shadow" can't just disappear from the rivers and lakes, my three apprentices don't have a high understanding of martial arts, and they can't pass on "Snow Cat Shadow" to them now, but the old man found out that you must be a martial arts wizard in the future. You are affectionate and righteous, and you can save a civilian who has nothing to do with you regardless of the danger of your life, and from your character, in the future, you will definitely let martial arts flourish. ”

Tai Hao was suddenly so excited that he couldn't speak, and after listening to Yuan Shi's words, he hurriedly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Yuan Shi three times in a row.

Yuan Shi said: "You gave the old man an apprenticeship, and you will be my Yuan Shi's apprentice in the future, stand up quickly, from today on, I will teach you every trick and style of "Snow Cat Fluttering"!" ”

When Taihao heard that he was going to pass "Snow Cat Fluttering" to himself, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He paused and asked Yuan Shi, "Master...... Master, am I dreaming? Why does it feel so sudden......"

Yuan Shi smiled: "This is not sudden, in fact, from the first time I saw you, the old man felt that you must be a martial arts wizard." Moreover, you are still Ah Yue's grandson, I have only loved Ah Yue as a woman in my life, and I will pass on this "Snow Cat Flutter" to you, Ah Yue's spirit in the sky, and I will not blame me, I suddenly left her...... However, there are three things you have to keep in mind, the first thing is that you can't use the cheats of "Snow Cat Flutter" to show off; The second thing is that we must not let the cheats fall into the hands of bandits; The third thing is that after you learn the moves, remember to review them every day, because if you don't have enough internal strength, you will only be able to practice martial arts moves, and it will not be of much significance. ”

Tai Hao nodded again and again and said, "I wrote it down." ”

Yuan Shi pondered for a long time, and took out a book wrapped in brown paper from the innermost undershirt of his jacket. Yuan Shi opened the brown paper, inside is a blue book, the cover reads "The first volume of the Cat Ancestor Divine Skill", Yuan Shi opened the cover, and saw that the first page was written with four big characters "Snow Cat Fluttering", he handed the book to Tai Hao, and said: "This secret book is the teacher, I will hand him over to you today, you must keep it." ”

Tai Hao took the cheats with both hands, opened a few pages and looked at them, there were pictures of each move drawn in it, and the accompanying text was written next to the moves. Taihao also wrapped it in brown paper and put it in his arms.

Yuan Shi continued: "There are a total of nine moves in Snow Cat Flutter, mainly punches and legs. Although you haven't learned martial arts, but you haven't learned the benefits of whether you have learned it, you can practice according to what the teacher said. I'll teach you the moves first, and then you'll have to repeat them every day, so don't be lazy. ”

Tai Hao asked again, "Master, how long will it take me to learn?" ”

Yuan Shi said: "It depends on how fast or slow you learn, nine moves, I will teach you one move every day." Then, you just have to repeat the practice every day. It's easy to learn martial arts moves, but it's hard to know how to use them. When you meet the enemy, how to see the moves, and which moves can suppress the moves used by the opponent, requires your understanding and experience. ”

Tai Hao nodded as if he didn't understand.

Yuan Shi stood up, walked to a door, and continued: "The first trick of "Snow Cat Fluttering Shadow" is called 'Catching the Wind and Catching Shadows', and the teacher will call you first, and you will treat this door as an enemy. I saw Yuan Shi clenching his hands into fists, standing with his feet one foot apart, first punching at the empty space on the left side of the door, jumping behind the door with a quick step, and directly pounced on the door. Yuan Shi said: "This trick 'chasing the wind and catching the shadow', you have to hit the air first and then pounce, which is the simplest move in "Snow Cat Fluttering". After speaking, let Taihao practice alone again. Seeing that Taihao finished practicing this move, Yuan Shi shook his head and said: "The fists and feet are weak, although the trick is clear, but if you can't beat the soul of this trick, it's useless, you have to practice it seriously." At the moment, Taihao has been practicing that trick, and the first time he learned martial arts, Taihao practiced to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first trick "Chasing the Wind and Catching the Shadow", and began to teach him to play the second trick "Dark Fragrance and Shadow". On the third day, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first and second moves, and began to teach him to play the third trick "insinuation". On the fourth day, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first, second and third moves, and began to teach him the fourth trick "Amazing Shadow". On the fifth day, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first four moves, and then began to teach him the fifth trick "Follow the Shadow". On the sixth day, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first five moves, and began to teach him the sixth trick "barking with the sound". On the seventh day, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first six moves, and began to teach him the seventh move, "Cup Bow and Snake Shadow". On the eighth day, Yuan Shi first asked him to review the first seven moves, and began to teach him the eighth trick "Ji Ji Gu Ying".

On the ninth day, Taihao took the initiative to review the first eight moves, and Yuan Shi taught him the ninth trick "without a trace". Yuan Shi told him: "This ninth move, if the other party can't crack this trick, this trick will be hit, and the other party will die without a trace." ”

Taihao learned these nine tricks, smelled the chicken and danced every day, bravely improved, and gradually improved his force.

Taihao has lived on Niangniang Beach for more than half a month, and Taihao seems to have forgotten to go to Pinghe City to serve as the deputy general of the city, although he is still worried about Daxi, Nianyu, Jiaoyu, Gusheng, and Shaoling.

On this day, Yuan Shi handed over a letter to Taihao. Said to Taihao: "We have been here for more than half a month, and they must be anxiously waiting for you to go back." Apprentice, you have learned martial arts very quickly and are very familiar with them, so you should go to them. After seeing Nian Yu and the dumb man, give them this letter, Nian Yu doesn't know how to read, you can read it to him. ”

Tai Hao said: "Don't hide it from Master, I have missed them a lot recently, won't Master go together?" ”

Yuan Shidao: "As a teacher, I won't leave, so I live here in seclusion with the Tian Maung brothers......"
