Chapter 8: Trained to resemble an ape
How much money is this stuffed by the second brother?
Li Yuan was frightened, worry overpowered joy, the Li family had been in tatters for many years, how could there be a family fund for this fat man?
I'm afraid it's all borrowed......
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan concentrated, unwilling to waste this hard-won opportunity to learn martial arts.
In these years, it is so difficult to learn the craft of ironsmithing, let alone martial arts?
"Don't be dissatisfied, such precious martial arts as the White Ape Cloak Hammer, except for me, who is willing to teach you?"
Sun Fatzi snorted and said:
"Lift the hammer and stand on the pile!"
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and kicked a prepared hammer over.
Li Yuan was a spirit, carrying the hammer, and subconsciously glanced at the gray light on the hammer before standing up at the white ape stake.
"The eighteen styles of hammering and the pile gong standing method you learned are not false, but they are missing something......
As soon as Li Yuan heard the voice, Sun Fatzi had already come to him, and his fat body leaned forward, full of oppression:
"White Ape Breathing Method!"
The big fan-like hand pressed his shoulder, and Li Yuan only felt that his shoulder and arm were hot:
"You can see and remember, I'll only demonstrate it once!"
Li Yuan was busy concentrating.
Sun Fatzi took a deep breath, and when he spit out again, the rhythm of his breathing had changed.
It was an extremely unreasonable breathing method, and Li Yuan almost lost his breath after subconsciously trying it.
But at this time, he naturally didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, and concentrated on remembering all the six breathing patterns that Sun Hao had changed.
"Lift and suck and exhale, three short and six long, one inhale and nine exhale......"
……
"When to keep the ape six breathing method when standing on the stake, and when practicing the cloak hammer, you are considered to be a beginner!"
As before, after teaching things, Sun Fatzi spoke and spoke, and after only teaching once, he turned around and went back to the house, but after a while, he turned out again and threw a booklet over:
"In addition to the breathing method, the origin of the white ape cloak hammer, pile work, and hammer method are all in the booklet, I remember, do you recognize the words? Then see it yourself, by the way, you can only watch it from me, and you are not allowed to take it out! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
Li Yuan hurriedly took the booklet, and immediately reacted:
"How's the play?"
"You still want to learn how to play?"
Fat Sun sneered, turned around and went back to the house:
"Take another ten taels of silver and teach you how to play!"
"Take it again? The second brother actually gave him ten taels of silver? ”
Li Yuan gasped.
The apprentice of the Intermediate Court has thirty copper plates in a month, and he has less than a penny of silver for three months, and ten taels of silver are sent in, if it is not for the purpose of learning martial arts, it is simply a blood loss!
As for the two-story building where his second brother lives now, the whole lease is only four taels of silver a year......
"Ape Six Breathing Method!"
Li Yuan's heartache was dripping blood, and he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest, and he remembered Sun Fatzi's six breathing methods.
If you forget a half-species, you're going to vomit blood.
Under the moonlight, Li Yuan was sweating profusely, familiar over and over again, recalling Sun Fatzi's breathing method.
After more than half an hour passed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the chill of late autumn came over in an instant.
"I've written it down, and I'll try it slowly."
Without the idea of entering the house, taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Yuan found a leeward corner in the corner of the courtyard, and consolidated the breathing method a few times before squatting and taking out the booklet given by Sun Fatzi.
"Sure enough, the person who can be in charge of the middle court is not as simple as those apprentices say......
Rubbing his cold palms, Li Yuan felt a little chill in his heart.
After tonight's experience, he didn't dare to underestimate this fat man.
His second brother stuffed ten taels of silver, and he didn't feel the slightest preferential treatment for more than a month.
He even suspected that if he hadn't shown some talent these days, this fat man would not even have passed on this breathing method to himself!
"White Ape Cloak Hammer!"
Taking a breath of light and suppressing the distracting thoughts, Li Yuan carefully opened the booklet.
Thanks to Li Lin's persistence, the predecessor was literate.
"The inside is the pile, the outside is the hammer, and the breath is the core! Using the breathing method to penetrate the pile gong and hammer method is the entry! ”
Li Yuan silently recited word by word in his heart.
In the booklet, there are pile skills and hammer techniques that he has learned these days, and there are no mistakes or omissions in one and a half moves, but they are more detailed.
For example, the inner and outer triad mentioned by Qin Xiong, as well as the origin of this ape-shaped cloak hammer.
The outer triad pays attention to the hands and feet, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips, and the inner triad, which is the heart and the mind, the will and the qi, and the qi and the strength.
And the qi in the inner triad refers to the breathing method, and if you lack the breathing method, you will get this book, and it will be difficult to practice.
Not to mention the Dacheng realm of the six combinations, it is impossible to practice the inner three.
"Beginner, proficient, small, big! The four realms of the white ape cloak hammer, I don't know what realm Qin Xiong and Sun Fatzi are? ”
Li Yuan was a little fascinated, and suddenly, he was thrilled and saw something that he was extremely interested in:
"Only when you practice to look like a white ape can you accumulate blood and become internal strength!"
Internal strength!
Li Yuan turned it again, and there was only one page behind it, and he didn't mention the style of play, nor did he mention the internal strength, which made him regretful.
"The white ape cloak hammer, easy to learn and difficult to master, inferior root bones, three hours a day, twelve hammer practice, two years or can be started, seven years or proficient......
Medium root bones, half a year should be able to get started, high-grade root bones, more than a month to get started! ”
Li Yuan closed the booklet.
The 18-style hammer method, the 12th practice also takes more than an hour, and it takes 3 hours to stand on the pile, and the apprentices in the middle courtyard simply don't have so much free time.
"If you practice like this, you can't stand the food before the middle court, and your body can't stand it, so you can't practice it before you practice it......"
Li Yuan sighed in his heart, and his thoughts of leaving the middle courtyard became a little more urgent.
Knowing that the apprentices in the front yard practiced for four hours a day, three days a day, he felt that his time was wasted.
If you don't take a job, you can't practice martial arts at all.
The three coins of silver given by the second brother can't withstand the consumption of martial arts.
"It's too difficult to practice martial arts, a white ape cloak hammer with no fighting method has to be taught in so many steps,
But that's just the foundation.
Medicine, not to mention, without enough meat, the progress is too slow......"
Li Yuan muttered in his heart, but he looked at the hut where the lights had not been turned off, and on the window paper, the huge figure of Sun Fatzi could be faintly seen.
"The introductory knife skills, should be enough, right?"
……
……
After sleeping for less than six hours, Li Yuan got up from the Chase bunk, he slept with his clothes closed, and he got up slightly, but as soon as he got up, there was a voice behind him.
"You wake up so early every day?"
Niu Gui's low voice came.
"Occasionally."
Li Yuan didn't look back, pushed the door and walked out.
In the early morning of late autumn, after a cold day, Li Yuan warmed up first, stretched his muscles and bones, began to stand on the pile, and consciously adjusted his breathing.
The Ape Six Breathing Technique is not complicated, but if you want to adjust the breathing habits that have been formed over the years, or even go against the wheel, how simple is it?
Li Yuan tried many times, but he felt that his chest was tight, and he couldn't even stand up for half an hour, so he couldn't hold on.
"How can a normal person breathe like this?"
Pressing his chest, Li Yuan slowed down for a while before continuing to try, afraid that he would be angry.
After doing this several times, it was already dark, and the sound of other apprentices getting dressed and getting up could be heard in the room.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing Li Yuan leave the courtyard, Niu Gui, who had not yet finished his work, couldn't help but ask.
"Excuse me!"
Li Yuan replied, and came to Sun Fatzi's small courtyard with a hammer.
The rooster crowed three times, and Sun Fatzi yawned and pushed the door out, catching a glimpse of Li Yuan, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned:
"What are you doing here? You don't think that if you pass on the Ape Six Breathing Method, you don't have to work, do you? ”
"Master Sun, the disciple wants to learn to cook with you."
Li Yuan lowered his head and bowed.
As an apprentice in the middle court, if you want to improve your food and treatment, you naturally can't get around Sun Fatzi.
He had been preparing it a few days ago, and it was for this that he bought the butcher's boning knife.
Originally, he was still thinking about climbing the friendship first, but with last night's incident, he felt that he could try a thing or two.
Even if it doesn't work, it's just a beating and scolding, and if it's done, it will solve his urgent need.
If the body is not well nourished, the nutrition does not keep up, even if there is a mastery-level hammer, it will not be able to exert a few points.
"Want to be Lao Tzu's apprentice? You're going to climb up the pole! ”
Sun Fatzi wanted to scold and laugh, but thinking about Li Lin's generosity, he still left a little leeway:
"The money your second brother gave me is not enough to be my apprentice, that's another price......"
Li Yuan didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand to his waist.
"Not leaving?"
Sun Fatzi's face was full of impatience, and he waved his hand to drive people away, but he was suddenly stunned, and his anger surged up:
"Good boy, dare to take Lao Tzu's kitchen knife? You're tight-skinned, aren't you? ”
Laugh at!
Pulling out Sun Fatzi's big kitchen knife from his back, before the latter's anger surged, Li Yuan raised his hand and held a knife flower.
On the way here, he went to the gang room and took Sun Fatzi's knife, which was a blade that was not inferior to the practice hammer.
"Huh?"
Sun Fatzi's feet, he has been a cook for 20 years, and his eyesight is naturally there:
"How many years have you been practicing knife work?"
Fat Sun was a little surprised.
The chef in the middle courtyard is responsible for the food of the 180th person, and the knife naturally has nothing to do with being small, his meat chopping knife is half a meter long, and his face is so wide, which is not what ordinary people are used to.
But that kid named Li Yuan, with a knife flower in his hand, that skillful seems to be waving his hand?
"Back to the spoon, I have practiced for a few years."
Li Yuan bowed his head and replied.
In his previous life, he served the old man, and he naturally knew how to order knife work and cook, but he was able to play so smoothly, naturally because he was in charge of the butcher's bone chopping knife.
This is also the confidence of his come.
"Good boy, this technique must have at least three or four years of hard work, right?"
Looking Li Yuan up and down, the anger in Sun Fatzi's heart gradually subsided, and his eyes narrowed:
"Do you take to heart what I said yesterday? It's not that you can't accept you as a helper, it's just that ......"
"Thank you Sun, ......"
Of course, Li Yuan knew what he wanted to say, and immediately offered the meat chopping knife with both hands:
"The disciple only wants to be full, and the rest is at the mercy of the master!"
