The martial arts competition platform in the martial arts training ground is used as a place for the disciples in the general's mansion to learn from each other, and after listening to Xu Mo's words, the lark and a few people came to the edge of the martial arts platform.

Xu Mo asked the eight people to divide into groups of four to compete one-on-one, and the lark Zi and a few people watched these disciples compete and observed them carefully.

After the competition, they praised their strengths, said their shortcomings, and gave ways to improve, and the eight disciples bowed to the larks to express their gratitude, and then went back to continue training.

After watching the discussion of these young people, Xu Mo arranged Liu Yi and them to live in the East Wing.

It was a little late at this time, and the sunset at dusk was accompanied by afterglow.

At this time, the lark was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion on the edge of the lotus pond, drinking tea, enjoying the sunset and the beautiful scenery by the pool.

Liu Yi also walked out of the room and came to the edge of the pond, and after dinner, because he had been chasing the skylark for a day, Liu Yi went back to the room to rest first, but he was not tired at all.

Not only have I seen the martial arts of the larks in the past few days, but today I have seen that these young people who are not a few years older than themselves are also solid in kung fu.

The powerlessness of thinking about the death of his parents, and the obsession in his heart made it even more difficult for him to sleep.

He came to the edge of the pond to relax, and watched the carp in the pond in a daze.

A group of carp of various colors gathered together like clusters of flowers, Liu Yi was fascinated.

When the lark saw Liu Yi by the pond, he called Liu Yi.

Liu Yi came back to his senses, saw the lark and called him, so he walked over.

Walking in front of the lark, Liu Yi said firmly: "Master, will you teach me kung fu tomorrow?" ”

It was not surprising that the lark said this to Liu Yi, after all, he had seen Liu Yi's performance in these days.

The lark took a sip of tea and said: "Liu Yi, I know that you have a knot in your heart about the death of your parents, it is normal for you to have this request for only two days, it is good to learn the exercises of our sect as soon as possible, it is very helpful for your body and mind and even spirit, now it is not early, you go to bed early, get up at five watch tomorrow morning, and teach you the exercises of our sect for the teacher." ”

"It's the master," Liu Yi was immediately excited after hearing this, and he couldn't wait to get back to the room as soon as he got up in the morning.

The lark did not get up after Liu Yi left, but still sat and tasted tea and looked at the full moon hanging in the sky.

Just tonight, Liu Yi, Tie Zhu, Zhenghao, and Haowei all said to their masters that they wanted to learn martial arts, so early tomorrow morning, they coincidentally waited for their masters in the martial arts training ground.

Shaocheng is different from Liu Yi's mountain village, where there are no chickens, so there is no reminder of the rooster's crow, although there is no rooster crow, Liu Yi also got up early.

Because the master was going to teach martial arts today, Liu Yi was very excited all night for fear that he would miss the hour and dare not sleep.

Although he was a little tired at this time, the mood of being able to learn martial arts made him excited, Liu Yi washed up, got dressed, pushed open the door and walked to the martial arts training ground.

When he came to the martial arts training ground, he found that he was not alone, and the early morning of the fifth watch could not be regarded as the morning because there was still a waning moon hanging in the sky, and it was the time of sunrise when the moon was hidden.

Liu Yi looked a little unclear from afar, he only knew where a few people were, and when he got closer, it turned out to be his partner.

When I learned that they were also here waiting for the master to teach the exercises, I understood in my heart.

"They thought the same thing as I did. Liu Yi thought so in his heart.

However, after a while, the lark and a few people came to the martial arts training ground, and nodded when they saw that Liu Yi and the others had arrived.

Several masters of the lark looked at each other, Lin Qingchen stood up and said to Liu Yi and a few people: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, don't add more nonsense, practice martial arts first refine the body, only a strong physique can burst out stronger strength, you first warm up and open up your muscles and bones, and then your master will teach you the exercises in your respective doors, first run ten laps around the martial arts training ground, don't shout tired and stop, this is the most basic warm-up, if you can't hold on to it, go back to the sect, and then your master will double the exercise, you will start." ”

Liu Yi and the others looked a little ugly after hearing this, but they didn't complain, and a few people took steps and ran.

The area of the martial arts training ground is not small, and there is also a kilometer in a circle, and Liu Yi and the others are also children who grew up in mountain villages, and they like to run in the mountains and fields, and these distances are not too difficult for them.

Only Tie Zhu was too fat, and after running for a while, he was a little out of breath at the beginning.

The lark was supervised by the side, watching them slow down, and then asked them to speed up, and they had to maintain their speed to achieve the effect of warming up.

Slowly time passed, the sun showed its head, and Liu Yi and the others also ran ten laps.

"Huhuhuhu" Liu Yi and the others stopped panting.

The lark said to Liu Yi and the others: "Next, we will take you to teach separately, Liu Yi come with me." ”

Liu Yi stood up, and the lark took him to another place, and on the edge of the pond in the courtyard, Liu Yi sat cross-legged with the lark and sat with him.

"This place is relatively quiet, suitable for cultivation, now upright, early morning is the most suitable for cultivation, for the teacher to teach you pranayama first, after strenuous exercise, pranayama is of great help to the body's recovery. ”

After the lark finished speaking, he taught Liu Yi a pranayama method, which is the most basic breathing method.

Taking a breath, sinking into the dantian, running around the parfait in his body, and then exhaling it several times, Liu Yi felt that his body's rapid heartbeat and other discomforts caused by running had been relieved.

Liu Yi said happily: "It really works master." ”

The lark smiled and continued: "Now that you feel a hot feeling in your body, then you can warm up, now stand up and follow the movements of the teacher to learn first." ”

He stood up, Liu Yi also stood up, the lark stood with both hands and feet, shoulder-width apart, and said: "Pay attention, see clearly, this is the basic form of Tai Chi." ”

The lark slowly began to move, and Liu Yi slowly learned one move at a time.

There are a total of twenty-four styles, and each move is slow, and there is a special charm when watching the lark fight.

。

Liu Yi couldn't say it, and he didn't feel it when he practiced it, and the two of them finished a set of twenty-four moves in one go.

The lark asked, "I think you should have a lot of questions, now ask and I will answer you one by one." ”

Liu Yi pursed his lips and asked, "Is this kung fu more powerful than the man in black?"

The lark replied: "There is no difference between strong and weak exercises, only the realm of the person who uses them and the application of the exercises have not reached the point of comprehension, so each exercise is very powerful." ”

Liu Yi nodded: "Master, I understand." ”

The lark was a little strange and said, "Don't you want to ask me if this exercise is lethal after practicing so slowly?"

Liu Yi said, "I believe in the master, and I believe that the master will not teach me useless exercises. ”

The lark nodded with satisfaction and said, "You start practicing the basic moves now, and I will teach you the rest slowly after practicing until you are familiar with it." ”

Liu Yi replied and began to practice slowly, while the lark continued to sit down and looked at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi couldn't remember the moves, so he asked the lark for advice, and the lark answered patiently.

Others, like Liu Yi, were taught a set of basic moves by their master.

Only Wu Haowei is different, he and Lin Qingchen are both meditating, and they don't see any moves, they just sit there quietly.

At sunrise, birds and insects chirp in the east, and it is the hour when the house begins to be lively, and the servants walk back and forth in the house, and they are busy, preparing breakfast, cleaning the yard, and so on.

Seeing Liu Yi and these people practicing, it was not strange, but they were just doing their own duties.

The lark looked at the sun and said, "Okay, almost, let's go to breakfast first, and take you to the city for a good walk today, and then we should leave for the sect in two days." ”

Liu Yi put away his movements and stopped, and after practicing this morning, he didn't feel anything.

But when I heard that I was going to go around the city, I couldn't help but get excited.

So I was so happy that I followed the lark to the dining room for breakfast, breakfast was relatively simple, clear porridge, kimchi, a few hot dishes, and buns.

As soon as Skylark and Liu Yi entered the room, they saw that the others were already sitting at the table.

Xu Mo saw a few people come in and said, "Smell the chickens and dance, Yun Dao Chief, you guys get up early to practice so spiritually, Xu Mo admires." ”

The lark said: "Those who practice martial arts must be so diligent in their cultivation in order to refine themselves as soon as possible. ”

"Please sit down for breakfast," Xu Mo beckoned the lark to sit down and a few people began to eat.

There was no General Xu at the table, and the lark asked Xu Mo strangely.

Xu Mo said that his father had something to do with him, and asked him to greet everyone, and the lark knew in his heart that he would not ask more.

After the group finished eating, the lark said: "Xu Gongzi, let's leave first, and a few of us plan to go to the city to take a few young people out to have a look." ”

Xu Mo said: "Those few of you will go around on your own, Xu Mo still has some things to deal with, please Xu Mo can't accompany you, Xu Mo will ask someone to bring you some silver tickets to buy some things in the city."

The lark said: "Xu Gongzi doesn't need this, we still have silver taels on us, Xu Gongzi doesn't need to worry about us." ”

Xu Mo naturally couldn't let a few life-saving benefactors pay for themselves in his own place, and a few people couldn't screw Xu Mo so he didn't have to break the bank.

So the larks went out of the house and walked out of the street with Xu Mo's intentions.

Xu Mo walked out of the dining room and came to the West Wing after the lark and the others left, and walked into his room, which was very simple and simple.

When I entered the door, I could see the bookshelf behind the bookcase, with thick books on it, and Xu Mo didn't move when he looked at the thick books on the bookshelf.

Seeing the diligence of the lark people practicing today, he remembered that reading seemed to be the only main business in the past.

The father has three children, he is the youngest, the eldest son has fought in the frontier and built a military industry very bravely, and the daughter has already married a wife and has a happy family.

He is the youngest son, General Xu doesn't want him to learn martial arts and join the army, he only hopes that he can get fame and no longer have to go through life and death on a war horse.

"But can I really gain fame with this knowledge?" How many Confucian scholars in the world have gained fame?" Xu Mo asked himself.

He touched his wrist, where there were still the marks of the kidnapping, and although some of them had dissipated, the experience of being kidnapped was still vivid.

Xu Mo turned around and knelt down to face the bookcase, and there was a book on the bookcase, on which was written Confucian Sword Dao.

This is a book of swordsmanship hidden in the library of the palace, although the general is a martial artist, but he is very appreciative of literary knowledge, which is also the reason why he hopes that Xu Mo will gain fame.

The foundation of the country is inseparable from the talents of civil and military affairs, and it is also for Xu Mo to establish a library pavilion.

This sword duel has been in the library for a long time, but it has not been turned since coming to the library.

The steward of the Gu Library Pavilion said: "This book is a remnant of the exercises obtained by chance, and it is not completely practiced, and it will only be three or two percent, and it is not of great use." ”

After listening to it, Xu Mo remembered the name of the book vividly, and he also had an impression.

He also read the books of the Library, and there are naturally martial arts methods, but they are all from the martial arts and some of the boxing and weapon books.

Xu Mo is good by nature and doesn't like to kill, so he just wants to find a book that can give him the ability to protect himself.

If you can't protect yourself, how can you save your life, and if you don't protect your life, how can you serve the country?

Xu Mo muttered: "Confucianism and Taoism sword technique, this name is very wonderful, although it is the remnant of the spectrum and my intention, why do you need to practice it if you don't want to kill the enemy but only protect yourself," Xu Mo opened the book and read it carefully.

Liu Yi and his entourage were strolling on the street at this time, and the west of the city was a lively market, with all kinds of street performances and juggling, and the stage teahouse was also very lively.

Several people walked out of the General's Mansion and came here, stopping to watch a street performance.

I saw a big man with his upper body, and he was lying on a needlebed made of steel needles all two fingers thick.

Two more big men lifted a large stone slab the height of a fist and lifted it up.

The weight of the slate made it a little difficult for both big men.

The slate rested on the chest of the big man lying on the bed of needles.

Then another strong man spat with both hands, shouted loudly, raised his hammer and smashed it down.

The slate cracked apart, and the strong man shook off the dust on his body and stood up.

The strong man showed his back to the audience unscathed, and the audience immediately burst into cheers and applause.

The strong man arched his hand to the people around him, put a piece of pork on the needle bed, and the pork immediately pierced through a thousand holes.

A special person came up to ask for a reward with a copper bowl, and a few people also gave a few copper plates.

The men then began to perform in other ways.

Liu Yi couldn't understand why the big man wasn't injured, so he asked the lark, "Master, why isn't this uncle injured?" ”

The lark pondered for a while and said: "There are many ways not to get hurt, such as this strong man has practiced the hard qigong of the foreign family, and he who specializes in practicing the hardness of the body can resist this kind of injury, or it is possible that this slate and needle bed are fake." ”

Liu Yi was a little disappointed when he heard the master say that there might be a fake.

At this time, several strong men have already begun to breathe fire, and they don't know what kind of liquid is sprayed in their mouths, spraying the torches, and a beam of flame shoots out directly, which is very beautiful, and the audience is also very applauded.

This kind of performance was so common in the city that the lark said, "Let's go somewhere else," and the group left the crowd and went somewhere else.
