Three months later, the examination period expired, and Lu Jing successfully apprenticed.

Zhang Sanfeng first accepted Lu Jing's apprenticeship post, then took the disciple's tea with both hands, brought it to his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and then held the tea bowl in his left hand, held the tea in his right hand, drank tea, returned the empty bowl to Lu Jing, and opened his mouth to admonish and encourage a few words.

After finishing the matter, Zhang Sanfeng looked at his new apprentice and said with a pleasant face, "You have also stood for three months, tell me how you feel?"

"My leg hurts. Lu Jing said honestly.

"And so. ”

"And my back hurts too. ”

“............”

"It's okay, take your time. Old Man Zhang was dumb for a while, and then comforted his apprentice first.

"I have already taught you the essentials, although the standing pile is only an entry, it is the foundation of all martial arts, it must not be taken lightly, each sect has its own standing pile kung fu, just to cooperate with the future martial arts cultivation, there are talented people who can even comprehend powerful moves directly from the standing pile, and the inner strength you want to practice must also fall on this. ”

However, he didn't expect Lu Jing to say directly when he heard this, "Master, just give me the right words, how long can ordinary people stand and feel angry?"

"Uh," Zhang Sanfeng hesitated, "Those who just started to stand on the stake will be as fast as a day or two, oh, there are also geniuses who can detect the flow of breath in their bodies as soon as they pose ...... pose, as for the slow ones," Old Man Zhang didn't continue, but raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Jing.

"So you always mean that you are the slowest, and how slow it can be depends on me?" Lu Jingdao.

"Slow at the beginning does not mean slow steps, there is never a shortage of late-blooming masters in the rivers and lakes, the most important thing in practicing martial arts is this perseverance, as long as you are willing to work hard......"

Zhang Sanfeng was bitter, but after looking at Lu Jing, who was filled with chicken soup and rolling his eyes, he couldn't make it up, so he could only nod and admit, "Okay, your qualifications are indeed average, and your age is not too young, so you missed the best period for practicing martial arts."

"And the poor are rich in martial arts, the cost of practicing is actually not small, at least three meals a day must have meat, don't compare with those monks and Taoists, they have other ways to make supplements, and it is said that those famous families, martial arts families will also give their young disciples regular medicinal baths, take precious pills, then the investment is even more boundless......"

Old Man Zhang said this and glanced at Lu Jing again, but saw that his newly accepted apprentice did not show too much frustration, and couldn't help but praise a word of kindness in his heart, and then couldn't help but feel sorry again.

In fact, Lu Jing himself is quite regretful, since he has come to a martial arts world, who doesn't want to practice peerless martial arts, and he will be free from now on.

But Lu Jing, who has experienced the baptism of modern education, has already seen many similar things, students in the same class, some people can learn as soon as they can, and they don't even need to listen to lectures in class, and they can easily get full marks when they take exams, and there are also some people who are studying every day, and they don't take their butts out of the stool, they work harder than anyone else, but if they are not good at it, they are not good at it, and they invest a lot of time and energy, but the result is still very little.

There is no way to do the qualification thing, but fortunately, there is not only one way, if Xi Wuzhen does not achieve Xi Wenbei, Lu Jingmen is clear about reading, he can read all the way from a third-tier town to a top4 graduate student, but he is an out-and-out small town as a questioner, and now it is nothing more than changing the imperial examination, and it is not a big problem.

Besides, this crossing is not without a little benefit, he is about ten years younger, and now it seems that he is sixteen or seventeen years old, this age is a little older to practice martial arts, but it is not too late to study, you don't see anyone until the head is full of gray before passing the examination to become a tribute.

Of course, according to the fine tradition, I have come here, and the tuition fee has been paid, it seems that it is impossible to return no matter what, Lu Jing still plans to continue to practice, anyway, he will not delay the imperial examination, even if he can't practice any masters of the rivers and lakes, it is good to use it to strengthen his body, the body is the capital of the revolution.

Seeing that Lu Jing hadn't spoken, Zhang Sanfeng sighed, "That's it, I'll pass on your internal strength mantra first, you are familiar with it, and then practice slowly after cultivating a sense of qi." ”

After speaking, Zhang Sanfeng first read the internal strength mantra to Lu Jing, and then dismantled it and explained it in detail word by word.

Old man Zhang's internal skill is called Xiao King Kong Jin, listening to the name should be Buddhism martial arts, I don't know how it flowed into the rivers and lakes, probably because Xiao King Kong Jin itself is just an ordinary exercise, and there is nothing special, and the monks did not bother to recover it, so this exercise gradually spread in the rivers and lakes, becoming one of the most popular internal skills.

Lu Jing was not very disappointed in this, Zhang Sanfeng, an ordinary dart master, would only be hell if he really had a master, it was true that there were masters in the market, but how could it be so easy to bump into.

And the big road goods are not entirely bad, just like the new online products, only when there are more people who use them can they find bugs and improve them in time, this exercise can be so popular, at least it shows that there should be no side effects when you practice, and it is better than picking up this evil sword spectrum on the road and starting to practice in a daze.

The master and apprentice tossed for half an hour, and Lu Jing finally memorized the set of internal strength mantras word for word, and roughly figured out the meaning of each sentence.

Then Zhang Sanfeng once again pointed out the trick of Lu Jing's standing pile, and personally demonstrated the standing position and breathing, probably touching the scene, and at the end of the old man Zhang also recalled the scene when he practiced hard when he was a child, and sighed while collecting the exercises, "Back then, my master also told me that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and after practicing for a long time, I realized that it was a lie." ”

Lu Jing didn't say anything, only handed a handkerchief over to wipe the sweat of the master, and then he continued to stand on the side, and waited until the sun was setting in the west, but it was Zhang Sanfeng's unsuccessful son who hurried back from outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted that he was hungry and wanted to eat meat.

Seeing this, Lu Jing also took the opportunity to say goodbye and left, Zhang Sanfeng wanted to leave his apprentice to eat, but he was a little distressed, and after a moment of hesitation, Lu Jing had already gone out, and Old Man Zhang could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

On the other hand, Lu Jing left the small courtyard of the master's house, and did not go anywhere else, so he returned directly to his residence.

Wujiang City is prosperous, the land price is naturally high, every inch of land is expensive, and the low-level coolies such as porters cannot afford to rent a house in the city and are reluctant to rent, so most of them live in thatched huts outside the city.

After Lu Jing went back, he casually burned some porridge to fill his stomach, and then fell headlong on the bed, he went to work on the dock early this morning, and went to the master to practice when he was finished, and he didn't want to move a finger that was already tired, plus Zhang Sanfeng bluntly said that he had no talent for learning martial arts, although Lu Jing didn't feel hopeless, but he was somewhat lacking in motivation at this moment, so he didn't immediately review what he had learned today, and soon fell asleep with a pillow.

As a result, when he woke up the next day, Lu Jing found that his lower abdomen was a little uncomfortable.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that the quilt was not covered last night, and he was infected with some wind and cold, although it was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, it was not unbearable, it could only be regarded as a minor illness, but soon he noticed that his uncomfortable place was an inch and three points below the umbilicus.

Lu Jing's lessons during this time were not in vain, he knew that there was the dantian, all the meridians in the body were directly or indirectly connected to the dantian, and the internal force that people who practiced martial arts had worked hard to cultivate was gathered here on weekdays for them to mobilize when needed, and Lu Jing stood on the pile for three months, and he didn't even find the sense of qi, and the dantian was naturally as empty as ordinary people.

But now there is a bit of swelling pain in that place, which makes Lu Jing a little confused, why, will the empty one swell too?

Well, the air does expand when heated, the junior high school teacher said it, but the problem is that he thought that he didn't take out the dantian to bake the fire last night, and it didn't make sense at all.

Lu Jing scratched his head, he had only been apprenticed for a short time, although he had been studying hard during this time, but both theory and practice had just started, and he had no experience in this kind of thing, and he didn't gain anything after thinking about it for a while, and he wanted to ask the teacher, but the wharf was about to start.

Lu Jing's hard-earned income was basically used to pay for tuition, and then he was busy practicing martial arts for the past few months, and he earned even less, just barely enough for himself to eat every day, and there was nothing left, and now he was completely stopped.

So even if you contract a minor illness, you still have to start working to make money.

Lu Jing got up from the bed, got dressed, put on the bamboo basket on his back, pushed the door and left the small hut where he lived, and followed the people who gathered early into the city. Because of the toss in the morning, he didn't have time to cook breakfast today, so he could only spend four cents to buy a bowl of soup cakes at a roadside stall.

The stall owner cut the mixed dough into long strips with a knife, threw it into the pot and cooked it, and then served it to Lu Jing at the side of the stall with some side dishes and soup.

And Lu Jing didn't know why, he felt very hungry even though his lower abdomen was distended, especially when he took the noodles and smelled the fragrance of noodles wafting, he couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, a bowl of soup cakes was swallowed, and even the soup in the bowl was drunk clean by Lu Jing.

But he didn't feel full at all, so he had to ask for another bowl.
