Chapter 13 Master and Apprentice

Hunters began to dismember three dead mammoths, which had three treasures: ivory, fur, and elephant fat.

Ivory is an important proof of obtaining a bounty from the Jiangxia County Civil Affairs Department, so they give priority to sawing the ivory and wrapping it carefully; then the mammoth fur, the whole mammoth fur can also be sold at a good price from the fur merchants in Jiangxia County; and finally the elephant fat, which can be used to refine elephant oil, elephant oil is known as "female treasure", which is a top nourishing product that can be used to warm the female body, which is a grade higher than the elephant oil extracted from ordinary elephant fat. Cosmetics stores are all purchased at a very high price, but the hunters in Bear Village don't plan to sell them, because the sister-in-law in the village is not enough.

By the time the hunters had packed the ivory, fur, and elephant fat separately, night had fallen, and the remaining elephant meat and bones were too heavy to carry on the mountain, so the hunters had to give up. Everything was ready, the hunters of Youxiong Village lit torches and began to return the same way, and there was still a day and two nights to return from Xiaoshitan to Dashishan, so it was already early morning on the third day when the hunting team returned to Dashishan.

Dashishan Village is shrouded in the morning light, with smoke curling and chickens and dogs smelling each other, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere of life.

"They're back!they're back!" Sister-in-law Hui Rong trotted all the way back to the village from the Raccoon Creek with a wet suit to report the news, and the village of Dashishan suddenly boiled. In the case of not many ways to live, the hunting team has become the largest source of income in the village, and every family is proud that their men can join the hunting team, but hunting is a dangerous chore after all, and if you don't do it, you will lose your life, so every time the men leave it is like a farewell, and every time the men return home safely is like a holiday.

"Brother, are you back, are you okay?" The younger brother Tugu Fan, who was standing in the welcoming crowd, smiled and stepped forward, he took a wild boar leg that Tugu Hun was carrying on his shoulder, which Tu Gu Hun hunted on the way back, enough for the family to fight a week's tooth sacrifice.

"Well, it's okay!" Spit Bone replied, just as he freed up his hand to change the remaining four steel spears tied together from his left shoulder to his right, "What's going on at home?"

"Okay!" said the younger brother softly.

"You're not going to class today?" asked Tugu Hun Qi.

"Go, why don't you go first? Tugu explained.

The brothers, you and I are talking about the family, while walking along the village road to home, on both sides of the village road can be seen with dozens of independent small courtyards separated by wooden fences in turn, the newly completed Dashishan Village has been quite large-scale, the yard of the Tugu family is located in the middle of the mountainside next to the old locust tree, far away the two of them saw their parents and two elders are standing at the door waiting for them, under the mountain wind, the father's empty right sleeve swings with the wind, looking at it makes people feel distressed.

After a while, the whole family had a hearty breakfast and then went about their work.

Tu Gu Hun first took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and then carried two jars of plum wine and half a pork leg to the master's residence.

Because Hongyi made meritorious contributions in the battle of Wolf Valley, and in less than a year, he trained such a powerful apprentice as Tuguhun, and the clansmen saw it, so the village paid for Hongyi to surround a large courtyard with stone walls on the top of the mountain, built two blue brick and red tile houses, and also equipped all kinds of furniture, and promised to give Hongyi 100 catties of corn and 50 catties of fresh meat as rations every month, in exchange, Hongyi had to teach the clansmen martial arts for free, and he also readily agreed.

"Lunges hit elbows. From afar, I heard the sound of the master shouting exercises.

"Hey!" shouted the immature children's voices in unison.

"Chop the ribs and beat them. ”

"Ha!" is another uniform children's voice.

Tu Guhun walked to the front of the courtyard gate, gently pushed the wooden door open a gap, and he saw that Master Hongyi was leading more than a dozen children of different ages to practice military physical boxing one move at a time.

"Huh, this is?" Tu Gu Hun was very surprised to see the figure of his younger brother Tu Gu Fan, and at this time he was seriously following his master Hongyi to make movements.

"Okay, you Tu Gu Fan, tell me to go to a private school, and you secretly came here to practice martial arts!" Tu Gu Hun scolded in a low voice.

"Brother Hun!" the little fat man Youxiong Le happened to see Tu Gu Hun peeking in from the crack in the door, and greeted in a lost voice.

"Brother Hun is here!"

Tu Gu Fan's body shook slightly when he heard the sound, and when he turned his head sideways, he happened to meet Tu Gu Hun and his eyes, knowing that his secret martial arts practice had been revealed, he grinned, and simply broke the jar and turned his head to continue to make movements, pretending to ignore his brother Tu Gu Hun .

"Good boy, I'll talk to you about it when I get home!" Tu Gu pushed the door in anger and muttered in a low voice.

"Brother Hun came to see us!"

The child's active nature is now on full display, and the children's attention immediately shifts to the vomiting bones who push the door in, greeting their idols with their mouths, and even forgetting that they are practicing military boxing.

"Quiet! keep moving!" Hongyi said angrily when he heard the noise behind him.

Several of the children who took the lead stuck out their tongues and quickly turned their heads to re-put on their postures.

"Stop!" Hongyi shouted, and all the children immediately relented.

"There is Xiong Le!" Hongyi said.

"Yes!" replied the little fat man.

"Good boy, come to the front of the team and lead everyone to beat the first and second sets of military body fists five times in a row. Hong Yi said with a serious face.

"Yes!"

Everyone knows that this is Master Hongyi's punishment for not abiding by the discipline of going out of the discipline.

Youxiong Le honestly walked to the front of the team and stood still, shouting in his mouth: "The first set of military body boxing, all of them have it, ready-"

More than a dozen children pulled out in unison.

"Lunge punch. ”

"Hey!"

"Throat-piercing bullet kicks. ”

"Hah!"

The children's uniform movements, resolute eyes, and the faint murderous aura of the whole team made Tu Gu feel joyful.

Hongyi raised his head and made a gesture at Tu Gu Hun from afar, "Hun Qiu'er, come here!"

The two entered the hall one after another, and Tuguhun put the two jars of plum wine and half a pork leg on the table in his hand.

"Just came back?" Hongyi motioned to Tu Guhun to sit down and speak.

"Well," Tugu replied, "By the way, Master, why is my brother Tugu Fan here?"

"Why can't your brother be here?" Hongyi smiled and asked rhetorically, "Is it possible that you are allowed to practice martial arts, but your brother can't?"

"That's not what I mean," he said with a spitting face, "I've already practiced martial arts, my parents want my younger brother to study hard, and he will be able to find a way to live in the future for a college undergraduate or something!"

"It's not a conflict," Hong Yi said, "Reading can increase knowledge, practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, do you want your brother to be a powerless nerd?"

He was hesitant to tell his parents about his brother's secret martial arts.

"Okay, okay, your family affairs are discussed behind closed doors, but I won't refuse to come if the Tugu Clan insists on coming, won't you come today just because of this?"

"Of course not," Tu Gulu said with a sneer, "I came to visit Master." ”

"Flim tongue," the master nodded in the air, "I guess you're having some problems again, isn't the hunt going well?" Hong Yi asked as he set aside the two cups on the table, then opened a jar of plum wine, filled them separately, and handed them a cup of Tugu Hun .

"It's a little bit unsmooth!" Tu Gu said with some annoyance, and he took a small sip of plum wine, the sweet and sour liquid flowing from his mouth to his lungs, making him feel refreshed.

"Tell me about it?" Hongyi said with a sip of plum wine.

Tuguhun then roughly described the process of hunting tusked mammoths in the Banna rainforest.

"Well," Hongyi listened carefully as he drank, occasionally twisting his chin with a gray goatee, "Your vitality is depleting too quickly." ”

"Master, please give me some guidance. "Spit bones.

"This is an old problem for junior martial arts cultivators," Hong Yi replied, "I don't control the rhythm well in battle, I can't put it away freely, I don't know how to distribute my vitality reasonably, and sometimes I will use too much force and waste my vitality." ”

Hong Yi paused, his eyes seemed to be casually looking at Tu Gu Xun from head to toe, and he already knew his cultivation progress, "In my hometown, you have just stepped into the 'Stardust Level' now, everything is still early!

"Just stepped into the 'Stardust Level'?" Tu Guhun was most afraid that the master would say the word "don't worry", "Then what should I do next?"

"I don't have much to do about this," Hong Yi said, "Actually, it mainly depends on the individual practitioner, first, you have to participate in actual combat more, learn more about your own situation, and increase your experience." ”

"Well, I know that," Tukuhun nodded.

"Second, we must improve the realm, such as opening up the second pulse of Ren and Du. Hongyi said.

"Ren Du Ermai?" asked Tu Guhun .

"Yes, open up the two veins of Ren and Du, let the vitality run along the two veins of Ren Du, and form a large and small Zhoutian, which can make the vitality circulate and endlessly. Hongyi took a sip of plum wine and snorted intoxicatedly.

"Then how can I get through the second vein of Ren Du?" Tu Guhun asked.

"This is another hurdle," Hongyi said, "some people who practice martial arts are highly talented and can easily break through, and some are so talented that they can't break through in a lifetime." ”

Tu Gu Hun said: "Master, I know that you are a martial arts master, so I believe that you must have broken through the second line of Ren Du a long time ago, so you come to tell me what happened to you back then, how did you do it?"

"Hehe," Hongyi smiled slightly, "This thing is really mysterious, there is almost no experience to learn from, everyone's environment is different, the talent is not the same, and the day after tomorrow is not the same, so the way to break through is not the same, I can only suggest that you go out to experience more, to paraphrase a jargon called 'walking the rivers and lakes', and find a suitable path for your own cultivation in the process of walking the rivers and lakes." ”

"Walking the rivers and lakes?" Tu Gu was a little confused, "But where are the rivers and lakes?"

"Hehe," Hongyi said with a smile, "I'm just making an analogy, in fact, what you're doing now is not bad, read more books, study more, practice more, and go down this road all the way, you won't be wrong!"

The two chatted while drinking, and before they knew it, it was noon, and they said goodbye to the master and went down the mountain.

Out of the door, the children were playing in the yard, and when they saw Tuguhun going out, they immediately surrounded him, and at this time he could no longer see the figure of his younger brother Tugufan.

"Brother Hun, give us a set of Tai Chi, you play it well. There was a bear Jiao whispering.

"Don't, I want to watch Brother Hun play Shaolin sticks, Brother Hun is playing a good job. "The little fat man has Xiong Le, and he has words.

The children chattered and argued again, and looked back at the master, who smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll play a Shaolin stick trick for you!" Tuguhun said.
