Chapter 45: Learn from scratch

Lin Yi temporarily lives in the south of Kunlunxu, in a courtyard, with the front door facing the north, facing the mountain road. The bluestone square slab in the courtyard, the curved corridor is swirling, and a wing room in the center is built in the air, and the bottom is supported by stone pillars, more than two feet from the ground. The corridor is surrounded by red lacquered railings, with stone steps falling to the ground in the middle, and a peach tree diagonally facing the doorway, with a strong trunk and just bones on its branches.

The doors are open on both sides of the window, hollowed out on the outside, pasted with window paper on the inside, and the eaves above are sloping and paved with green tiles. Entering the house, there is a tea table in the main hall, a two-sided couch, a wooden table and chairs, and a few potted plants on the hanging table. In the dormitory, there is a landscape screen, a red sandalwood arhat bed in the corner, a cross hanger on the side, a dresser on the north side, and a candlestick sticking out of the wall.

Lin Yi put away his luggage, opened the sliding door on the south side, and the aisle was wide under his feet, and the wind was coming. As far as the eye can see, the green vines in the backyard climb the wall, scattered with a few green pines and green bamboos, and a pebble path winds through and leads to the depths.

The environment is quiet and elegant, and he is satisfied with it, and feels that it is not bad to live a life here. I couldn't help but feel emotional, and I wanted to play the piano and sing music, but when I remembered my mother's face, I felt a faint pain in my heart, and said bitterly: "Probably in the future, I'm not interested in touching the instrument, right?"

That's it, don't think nonsense, the top priority is to practice martial arts.

Lin Yi patted his cheek, calmed his emotions, relieved himself, unwrapped the package, and put the luggage into the counter. Walked to the hall and sat down on the tuanpu, originally hungry for a few days, hungry. But since soaking in the Yao Pond, it is like gluttonous food, half a bulge in the belly, and full of energy.

"The Holy Maiden will teach me martial arts again tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'll be fine today. Lin Yi muttered to himself, and it was getting dark outside the window, so he meditated cross-legged and practiced his qi. After an internal review, the originally broken meridians have all been healed, and the two spiritual and spiritual airflows inside.

Then I remembered what Master Luo said, only to produce Neidan in order to use them to use spells similar to Master Luo's Blue Flame, I couldn't be in a hurry. At the moment, he can only transform the two forces into each other.

Lin Yiyun used the technique of yin and yang transfer, the body heat and heat were hot and cold, incomparably mysterious, and the skills became more and more skillful, until he was tired and tired, and he fell asleep for a long time.

When the eastern fog was hazy at dawn, Lin Yi woke up leisurely, turned over and got up. As soon as he finished washing, Xiaomei came over and told him to go to the holy woman.

He got dressed and went out with Xiaomei, and Fengyue and Lei Ming were already waiting outside the hall. Fengyue Tao's eyes were slightly closed, half-covering his mouth, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and asked lazily: "What skills do you know?"

"The kid has learned some escape kung fu from Master Luo, and he is not good at fists, feet, and swords. ”

Fengyue said: "Xi Wudang starts with footwork, and Luoshan is not wrong. His eyes swept to the side of the thunder, and he commanded, "Try his skills." ”

"Yes!" Lei Ming walked up to Lin Yi, his small tower-like body almost covered his whole person, and said, "Offended." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lei Ming reached out and grabbed it, and Lin Yi leaned in with his legs and drilled into its armpits. Lei Ming saw the opportunity to change his move, hemmed his right arm, easily grabbed him, and lifted him to the side.

Lin Yi was subdued by his move, and couldn't help but admire: "Uncle Lei is really good at martial arts!"

Lei Ming scratched the tiger's brain, and said happily: "After the prize, our demon clan is born to react quickly, don't fight head-on, you might as well run away first, and I'll chase after you." ”

Lin Yi immediately retreated and rushed out of the courtyard. Lei Mingqiu lowered his body, his eyes fixed, and when he ran to the gate, he raised his arms and swooped out like a tiger descending from a mountain.

Lin Yi heard the beast roaring in his ears, and then his waist tightened, and he was picked up by Lei Ming's one arm, and he said excitedly: "Come again!"

Lei Ming put him down again, let him run ten zhang away in the yard, chased him again, and caught him back in the blink of an eye. Lin Yi shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Lei's feet are too strong, the kid is not an opponent...... Come again. ”

"Good!" Thunder let him go. The two of them fled one by one, chased by the other, and went back and forth more than ten times, Lin Yi couldn't run far before he was caught, tired and out of breath, but Lei Ming had more than enough strength.

"Alright, that's it. Feng Yue stopped them and said, "Boy, your footwork has a bit of a foundation, now try your kung fu, and come with me." ”

Lei Ming blinked, Lin Yi nodded in response, followed Feng Yue out of the main hall, and walked into the east martial arts hall, there was a row of weapons on the shelf in the corner, Feng Yue asked, "What have you learned?"

Lin Yi swept his eyes, walked to the shelf, stretched out his hand and took out a four-foot long knife, and said, "Master Luo taught me to use the ring head knife for a while, and that's it." ”

Feng Yue took out another embroidered spring knife and turned around and said, "You are coming." ”

Lin Yi said a word of rudeness and slashed it off. Feng Yue held the knife in his backhand, and advanced to press up, swinging his right arm forward, and the blade swept against his knife, falling along his neck along his arm.

Lin Yi hurriedly retreated, and when he saw Fengyue turning the embroidered spring knife and slashing at his head, he raised his knife to parry. But Fengyue castrated non-stop, pushed his wrist forward, pulled down the embroidered spring knife, changed his move halfway, and swept it against his abdomen.

In the shock, Lin Yi calmed down and attacked the opponent's shoulder from above. Fengyue's long knife was raised, the blade rushed up, the ring head knife was opened, the arm was flipped, and the embroidered spring knife stabbed out, pointing at his throat.

After a short breath, he retreated and said, "The Ru Dao method has not yet been introduced. ”

Lin Yi gasped, sweated, shook his head and said, "Shame boy, please advise the Holy Maiden!"

"Let's talk about the force first, the action does not need to be opened and closed, and the trick must be understood. Feng Yue talked eloquently, "You will slash first." ”

Lin Yi held the ring head knife with both hands, and slashed it straight ahead, his upper body did not stop, and leaned forward slightly.

Feng Yue frowned and reproached: "I didn't keep up with my feet, and my posture was not right." As he spoke, he stepped forward with both feet, and at the same time raised his knife and slashed down, his body steady, upright as loose.

Lin Yi learned her posture and practiced it by herself. Fengyue put away the knife and stood aside, and after a while, he was still not satisfied, so he took a long axe from the weapon rack and ordered: "Chopping is the basis of knife art, you bring the axe, go to Thunder, and let it teach you how to exert force." ”

"Yes!" Lin Yi agreed loudly, took the long axe, ran out of the martial arts hall, and found Lei Ming in the main hall to explain his intention. Lei Ming happily agreed, led him to the backyard forest, picked a small tree, took the axe, and cut it down in two or three strokes.

The thunder split the trunk of the tree into several knots, and Fengyue also rushed to this place, standing not far away and watching silently. Lei Ming handed the axe to Lin Yi and said in an urn voice: "You come to chop wood, this is the easiest way to practice strength, remember not to use true qi." ”

"Good. Lin Yi picked up a broken log, placed it on the stump, and raised his axe to chop it, but his posture was not right, and the sawdust flew sideways, almost spraining his wrist.

He took a breath and re-chopped, only to find the blade sink into the middle of the firewood, turn his head and smile awkwardly, and pull it out with great difficulty.

"I'm here to demonstrate. Thunder took the axe from his hand and put the broken log back on. Lin Yi observed intently, only to see Lei Ming's left hand holding the end of the axe handle, his right hand holding the middle, holding the long axe high, and standing on tiptoe. At this moment, his right hand was pulled back along the handle of the axe, clinging to the edge of his left hand, and his knee was bent and he struggled to slash down.

"Click!" the wood snapped in two.

"Do you understand?" asked Lei Ming.

"Understood. Lin Yi nodded, stood in front of the stump with understanding, took the long axe, followed its example, and when he raised it to the top of his head, he withdrew his right hand, held it to the lower end of the handle, and bent down to split it. But because both hands are at the same end of the tail, the front is heavy and the back is light, one is unstable, and the person almost pounces out when he slashes in the air.

Lei Ming held him up in time, "Don't worry, try a few more times." After that, help him correct his movements.

Lin Yicheng accepted the advice with trepidation, this time his heart was horizontal, not thinking about whether the axe would hurt him, he raised it high and fell straight down, and the click of firewood split from it.

"Is this what it is?" Lin Yi looked at his hands and said in amazement.

"Hahaha!" Lei Ming laughed heartily, "You learn very quickly, but you are a martial arts seedling, do you know what is called power skills?"

"I see—" Lin Yi came back to his senses, the action just now, like smashing objects with a hammer, seemed difficult, but it was actually far less effortless than before.

Feng Yue walked behind them, and the two turned their gazes, and Lei Ming bent down and saluted.

"It's the same with a knife, holding it firmly with your left hand and controlling the direction with your right hand, and that's the trick. As she spoke, she asked the two of them to pack up their things and go back to the main hall together.

Feng Yue recalled the results of the previous test, and summarized and commented: "Your footwork is only a little superficial, and the knife technique is even more messy, if you want to help me with things, this skill is far from enough." ”

He lowered his head in shame, Fengyue pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Since I promised to teach you, I will never be perfunctory, but with your foundation, you still need to learn from scratch." Today, I will first pass on a set of Nine Palace Bagua Steps, and then teach other ...... If you dare to be lazy, I will send you down the mountain at any time. ”

Lin Yi's heart fluttered when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Lord Holy Maiden, the kid must practice hard and never be lazy!"

Lei Ming clenched his fists and stepped up: "Holy Ancestor, the little one wants to ask for a resignation, go down and bring a message to Brother Luo Xian, so that he can know the news of his disciple and have a snack as soon as possible." ”

"No. Fengyue was willing to agree.

Lei Ming turned around, patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, encouraged him for a while, and then strode like the wind and went down the mountain alone. Feng Yue watched it leave, and then with a wave of his right hand, the ice and snow fell in the air, condensing into a crystal long sword.

She held the ice sword, slashed it towards the ground, stone chips flew everywhere, and carved a three-foot square nine-palace diagram, then looked at Lin Yi and said, "Boy, you stand in the middle palace." ”

Lin Yi hurriedly stepped on the middle of the pattern, and she explained: "With your left leg as the fulcrum, your right foot can take steps in all directions around you, and there are eight changes in one step. If you take the right leg as the center, throw away the origin, and count the middle palace, the left foot can take eight directions, a total of sixty-four steps, which is the basis of this set of footwork. ”

Then he asked, "Do you know the direction of the gossip?"

Lin Yi shouted loudly: "Qiankun Kanli Zhen Gen Xundu!"

Feng Yue nodded and said: "The front is out of position, the front left is Xun, the front right is Kun, the left is Zhen, the right is Dui, the left is Gen, the back is Kan, and the right is Qian." Later, I will tell you the direction, and you will step towards the corresponding position. ”

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and memorized the direction, "Holy Maiden, I'm ready." ”
