"Chi Ming, Chi Ming. "Master kept calling him.

Zhiming opened his eyes and saw the kind face of his master, and when he saw that he was still at home, he realized that he was just dreaming just now, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The master said with a little reproach, "I called you many times, but you just didn't wake up." What's wrong, didn't you sleep well?"

Zhiming patted his head and said, "No, I just had a strange dream, fortunately the master woke me up in time, otherwise...... No, I still have migraines. ”

"What kind of strange dream?

"It's nothing, it's just a strange dream pieced together from a few fragments. Zhiming didn't want to say.

"Breakfast is ready, get up and eat. Master walked out.

Zhiming got dressed and came outside the house. Alain greeted him with a smile.

Zhiming answered, and was about to sit down, when the master suddenly said, "Wait, let's go through a few moves first." ”

Zhiming was stunned. Master rolled up his sleeves and said, "We haven't practiced against each other for a long time, it's rare for you to come back, I want to see the results of your cultivation in the past six months." ”

Zhiming understood, it turned out that the master wanted to confirm it to see if his skills had really improved. In fact, the several battles he had experienced before, including the competition with Zhao Yun, were all good cultivation, and at this moment he was no longer a fledgling who had just come out of the nest.

The master put on a stance, and Zhiming took a deep breath and took a stance.

"Zhiming, after you left, I've been practicing, you have to be careful. Master aimed his fists and gaze at Zhiming's chest, and the three points were in a straight line.

"Master, I haven't slackened with each other. "Zhiming doesn't plan to use divine powers.

The master preemptively swept over with a punch. Zhiming lowered his head and flashed easily.

Master called with a sweeping mantis leg. Zhiming rolled over on his side and easily avoided it.

"It's a lot faster!" the master praised him and used a series of palms.

Zhiming's skills have improved by leaps and bounds, he used to think that his master's moves were as fast as lightning, but now he feels mediocre. He easily dodged and blocked, dissolving all the chain palms.

The master turned around and swept his legs, and as soon as Zhiming lowered his head, he didn't expect the master to immediately kick out the second leg. He was caught off guard for a moment, and he was hit in the chest and leaned back.

The master used the Shadowless Fist, and Zhiming was frequently hit. He didn't expect that the tricks he had mastered would be so difficult to defend against when others used them to attack him.

Suddenly, he remembered the scene when he was competing with Zhao Yun, so he quickly swept away with his foot and tripped his master.

The master quickly got up, shouted, and another "Double Dragon to the Sea" hit. Zhiming crossed his hands to block. As soon as the master exerted his strength, he was shaken several meters away and fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" The master thought that Zhiming was injured, but he immediately stood up again, patted the dust, and smirked casually.

Master is a good-looking man, and he doesn't believe that his apprentice can withstand his heavy blows so easily in just half a year. He continued to unleash the Shadowless Fist.

Zhiming avoided his edge and jumped behind his master with his aerial technique. After all, the Soaring Technique was taught by the master, and of course the master knew its weakness, so he took advantage of the moment when Zhiming was about to hit the ground and kicked it over.

Unfortunately, Zhiming had already overcome this weakness, he landed on one leg with his back to the master, and at the same time pressed down on his entire upper body; while the master's flying leg just brushed the top of his head, his left leg that did not touch the ground quickly kicked back, impartially, hitting the master's chin, and the whole movement was very coherent and neat.

Master foamed at the mouth and fell on his back. Zhiming was afraid that his master would be injured and wanted to go over to help him.

Master stood up with a carp and said, "No need to come here, I'm fine!"

Zhiming knew that the master was a strong person, so he said: "The master is very powerful, I only realized this trick half a month ago, but I didn't expect it to work on the master." ”

The master rubbed his injured chin, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, keep coming!"

"Then you're welcome!" Zhiming was about to let go.

He hit him with a straight punch, and the master turned his head sideways, and Zhiming suddenly turned a straight fist into a horizontal punch and hit him in the head.

Despite the head injury, the Master grabbed his fist and twisted it back, while his right forearm clamped tightly around his neck, intending to subdue him with his throat locking technique.

Zhiming had already seen it, and he bit his arm hard. The master screamed in pain and immediately let go. Zhiming took the opportunity to push a back elbow against his heart, and then turned around and swept his mantis leg to trip him.

The master quickly got up and said to himself, "I didn't think I would see you for half a year, your kid's martial arts have grown so fast! ”

Zhiming said proudly: "This is my own creation, it can't be regarded as a trick, and teeth are also weapons!"

"You're a great kid!" "Master admires his wit.

"There's even more powerful!" Zhiming attacked again.

Master hurriedly parried. Zhiming pretended to punch him, and when the master was about to resist, he suddenly put his hands on the ground, and a "scissor kick" clamped his legs, and then turned over. Master was whirled to the ground.

Zhiming quickly grabbed his right foot, pushed his ankle in desperately, and then sat on his back.

I thought that the master had been subdued, but the master lifted his left heel up and kicked Zhiming away.

The master didn't care about the pain in his feet, so he rushed over and carried Zhiming on his shoulder, then knelt down on one knee and slammed his body into his knees.

Fortunately, Zhiming had been on guard, and he blocked it with his palm on his back, slowing down the strength of his master's knees. Of course, in line with the principle of competition, everyone will not do their best.

Zhiming punched him in the jaw, and the master fell backwards. Zhiming quickly stretched out his left hand and grabbed the master's right hand to prevent him from falling, and then made a "small hand back fall", rotating his body 180 degrees and falling to the ground.

Zhiming rushed forward, and was about to have a "Mount Tai Pressing Peak", but the master avoided it with lightning speed, and at the same time an iron fan leg swept over.

Zhiming dodged a backflip. Seeing that the master was full of fighting spirit, he was afraid that he would be forced to use his divine power if he continued to fight, so he signaled to stop.

The master also learned the strength of the apprentice, and he was afraid that he would lose if he continued to fight, so he had the opportunity to give him the stairs, so he said, "Since you don't want to fight anymore, forget it." ”

Zhiming smiled and asked, "Master, the 'knee top kill' just now is very powerful! How many people did you defeat with this trick back then?"

The master shook his head and said, "The good man doesn't mention the courage of the year. In fact, many of my moves were not taught by my master, but I learned them in actual combat, and they were not recognized by authentic martial arts, because if I am not careful, I will kill people, which is not in line with the principle of 'martial arts first'. ”

"I think that martial arts are important, but skills are even more important, otherwise when you go to the battlefield, the enemy will not talk to you about martial arts. The most important thing in actual combat is determination and skill, and only with the determination to win and the skillful skills applied in actual combat can you have a chance to defeat the enemy. Therefore, the moves that Master taught me in the past are all very practical, and I have practiced them all, so please rest assured. ”

"It's a pity that every one of my moves has been cracked by you. "Master is a little lost.

"There's no way, I'm afraid that I'll encounter a strong enemy like Master in the future, and I'm worried that I'll be defeated, so I'll seriously study the cracking method of every move; Didn't Master say before, 'No move in the world is perfect, and there must be an antidote to poison'. ”

"You're right, you can't memorize moves, but use them, learn to see the moves. You can see that you have also taught yourself a lot of moves. ”

"And... Master, let me show you the extent to which I have mastered the Qi veins. Zhiming picked up a stone and threw it into the air, and the stone suddenly shattered in the air.

Master was amazed and said, "This trick takes many people who practice martial arts to study for years to comprehend, but I didn't expect that in just half a year, you are already familiar with driving, and it seems that your potential is really immeasurable." ”

"Master has won the award, and Master Yan is a high-level apprentice. ”

The Master was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that it is time to tell you something. Legend has it that in Huiji County, Jiangdong, there is a sacred mountain called Ziwu Mountain, there is a 'Demon Suppression Tower' on the top of the mountain, the tower has a total of five floors, it is said that there is a priceless treasure on the top floor, and there is a monk with high martial arts living on the first to fourth floors, who is responsible for guarding this thing. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can challenge it to see if you have the ability to go to the top and take the treasure. I heard that so far, only one person has reached the third level, that is, he has only defeated two monks, but he has lost to the third place, and he has not even had a chance to meet the fourth place. ”

"Is there really such a mysterious place?Why haven't I heard you mention it before?I really want to try it!" Zhiming is not very interested in treasures, but he likes to challenge the strong, "Didn't you say that there are five layers, who is guarding the fifth layer?"

"I don't know this very well, I also heard from the master before, he originally hoped that I could take on the challenge, but unfortunately I was too timid to do it, and then he passed away, and before leaving, he told me that I must tell my apprentice and let him try it. At that time, before you went to Shinno, I wanted to tell you, but I felt that the time was not right, so I never said it, but now that I have the opportunity to say it, I have also fulfilled one of Master's last wishes. Anyway, I've already told you, as for whether to go or not, it's your own choice. All I know is that this is a legend that has been around for more than thirty years, and no one has ever known why this tower suddenly appeared and where these monks came from. Don't worry, there's a chance to go. ... Judging from today's situation, you have surpassed as a teacher. If you continue to fight just now, you must be the one who wins. "The master can't take care of his son, and he is proud of his apprentice's achievements.

"Master, I'm ......"

"It's okay, this is also my wish, and the mentality of being a master is the same. You'll encounter more powerful enemies in the future, so it's important to remember that no matter how powerful your moves are, they all require solid fundamentals. You finally understand today why I've been so you, right? That's why I told you to do zama steps, push-ups, and runs every day. Horse steps should be firm and kicks should be powerful, push-ups should be done to be full and punches should be strong, and more aerobic exercises should be done to have enough physical strength to fight. Your skills are no longer what they used to be, and you just need to keep accumulating experience. Experience comes from experience, don't be afraid of encountering difficulties, difficulties can hone people's minds. ”

Zhiming thanked him and said, "I must remember Master's teachings over the years!"

The master helped him up and said, "Okay, I have taught everything that should be taught for the teacher, and the rest is up to me to comprehend." After breakfast, you can go back to Shinno. ”

The three of them were seated. Alan scooped a bowl of porridge for Zhiming and said, "Eat it while it's hot, you'll have to hurry later." ”

Zhiming took the bowl, he didn't know what to say for a while, he knew that Alan must be very reluctant to let him go in his heart, just to reduce his psychological burden, he pretended to be nothing.

Alan thought for a while and said, "Brother, Master told me early in the morning about you leaving again, and I know that I can't keep you, so I can only learn to treat it with a normal heart." I hope you are safe and come back more often in the future. ”

Zhiming patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back when I have the opportunity in the future!"

"Remember, you have to come back," Alain said... Also, remember to dress next time, otherwise you won't be allowed to enter the house!"

“...... Good. Zhiming knew that she was deliberately easing the atmosphere, but he really couldn't laugh at the moment.

After the meal, Alan handed the clothes that had been prepared to Zhiming and said, "Brother, your change of clothes is inside, you have to wash and change frequently over there, and you are not allowed to be lazy." ”

"Don't worry, I will. Zhiming clasped the backpack on his shoulder and said, "Master, Ah Mei, I'm leaving, take care." ”

Alain waved his hand and said, "Take care, brother." ”

"I'll send you down the mountain. Master said.

Alan watched the master and apprentice descend the mountain until their backs were completely submerged by Lin Hai.

After walking for a while, Zhiming said, "Master, you don't need to send it, you can go back." ”

"Alright, I'll go back, you have to be careful. Remember, rise to the occasion and don't retreat. "Master doesn't seem to have taught enough, and is still earning and inducing.

Zhiming didn't say anything, just nodded, bowed deeply, and left.

Looking at his distant back, Master suddenly felt a sense of loss and thought, "No matter what world he belongs to, he is always the apprentice and son I have adopted for twenty years!"

Zhiming walked on the road with mixed feelings. The day before yesterday, he was still fighting brutally in the unbounded, but yesterday he returned home and regained the warmth of home. Today, he is leaving home in a hurry, everything seems so hasty and helpless. In fact, he could have stayed at home for a few more days, but Master thought further than him, and he hoped that he could become a soldier who was truly worried about the country and the people as soon as possible. As Master said, the road always has to go, and all he has to do now is to continue to move forward on the path of his mission.
