Volume 1: The Storm on the River Chapter 4: The Double Ninth Day of the Year, Wearing a Sin Body Every Year.

"Out of the Hole"

Zhang Songxi is a Taoist priest who has just passed the knowledge of the destiny of heaven, but he looks quite young, with beautiful hair and eyes as bright as stars. Every morning, I will practice boxing by the cliff. Bai Yujing watched from the sidelines, he neither taught him nor drove him, as if Bai Yujing did not exist.

His boxing technique seemed strange to Bai Yujing, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, and undisciplined, but there was a beauty that was difficult to describe.

The sun rose in the east, the red glow fell among the treetops, Zhang Songxi's pace was steady, walking on the side of the cliff, on the edge of the cliff, there was no trace of panic. Breathe slowly, "shrink the chest and turtle back".

This trick is really like a toddler old turtle, bending its body and contracting its limbs.

After Bai Yujing watched it for three days, he completely understood that Zhang Songxi's boxing method was a turtle and a snake. One is still and one moves, like yin and yang. One slow and one fast, just like life and death.

On the fourth day, Bai Yujing couldn't help but practice this set of boxing techniques.

"Golden Turtle Drunk"

Bai Yujing turned backwards, if ordinary people were afraid that he would have fallen to the ground, but he was steady.

"Grass Snake Gray Line"

In another moment, it was like a bow and an arrow, like a grass snake ambushing, as fast as the wind.

Bai Yujing's boxing technique was natural, and he gradually reveled in it, but he didn't know that Zhang Songxi saw it all, he suddenly stepped out, came to Bai Yujing's side, and slammed out his right fist, which was the snake out of the hole. The cold wind, Bai Yujing instinctively lowered his head and closed his chest, which was the "shrinking of the chest and the turtle's back".

"Uncle Zhang......" dodged a move, Bai Yujing reacted at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought that he had secretly learned other people's boxing techniques.

Although Zhang Songxi is silent, he has a good heart, and when he saw Bai Yujing boxing just now, he looked a little like him, which really surprised him. He was sure that Bai Yujing had not learned this set of boxing techniques before, because this set of boxing techniques was his first creation, so he deliberately observed the turtle and the big snake for several years, and the fist theory of it was secretly combined with yin and yang. At Bai Yujing's age, he can grasp the charm after watching it for a few days, and he is a genius.

Seeing that Bai Yujing stopped practicing boxing, he didn't speak, and turned around and left.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and time flies.

Bai Yujing has been in Wudang Mountain for a while, and he has also seen many things during this time.

For example, Zhang Songxi is a good person, not only does he not blame Bai Yujing for learning his boxing skills, but he also takes the time to accompany him to practice boxing, although he doesn't talk much, but he often points out the main points. And from Zhang Songxi's words, he also understood that this was a newly created turtle and snake fist method.

Originally, according to the rules of Wudang, if the little Taoist priest who went up the mountain wanted to practice martial arts, he should first learn the sword and then learn the boxing.

Because the little Taoist priest is generally young and uncertain, he is easy to be distracted when practicing boxing, and he will get twice the result with half the effort at the beginning of practicing boxing, and he can't really polish himself.

But when practicing swords, it is different, first of all, the sword is a murder weapon, and if you don't pay attention when practicing swords, it is easy to hurt yourself or others, so the sword practitioner must be very attentive. Secondly, when carrying the sword, the sword needs to be stable, and if the sword is unstable, it will be fluttering lightly and messing up the moves. In this way, the subtle differences between the sword movement and the law are more likely to be highlighted, and the master can easily correct them.

Of course, this is for the average person.

Bai Yujing is extremely stable in boxing, perhaps because he already has true qi, and his body adjustment is far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, Zhang Songxi did not stop Bai Yujing from learning boxing with him, and even taught him to learn boxing in person.

Because there is not much difference between practicing boxing and practicing sword, the sword is an extension of the human arm, if the boxing is learned well, then the same is true for practicing the sword, and it will even get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, when it is said that a person has good swordsmanship, it will always be said that this person uses a sword like an arm. It can be seen that if you really want to practice swords, you still have to practice boxing first.

If the boxing method is practiced well, the whole body is as good as it gets, the limbs are unobstructed, and then the sword can be stable, flat and quiet.

Bai Yujing's boxing skills have also made great progress in this month, although he has not been able to compete with others, but in Zhang Songxi's opinion, he has already been called a hall. Although this speed is a little faster, Zhang Songxi is not surprised now, in his mind, there are always so many people in this world who are born to practice martial arts.

For example, Zhang Zhenren, the ancestor of Wudang, is said to have been just a fire-burning monk in Shaolin Temple at the beginning, and finally became a generation of grandmasters by virtue of various opportunities.

In addition to Zhang Songxi being a good person, Bai Yujing also found that the people in Wudang seemed to have opinions about Zhang Songxi, and the courtyard where he lived had not been patronized by any Taoist priest except for the little Taoist priest who delivered food in the past month, and Zhang Songxi had nothing to do every day and never visited other Taoist leaders.

Bai Yujing lived in Zhang Songxi's courtyard, and it seemed that he was also influenced by Zhang Songxi, and some small Taoist priests who were about the same age as him did not associate with him, which made him a little puzzled.

Bai Yujing also took the time to ask Zhang Songxi about this during a boxing practice, but Zhang Songxi's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he walked away, and did not accompany Bai Yujing to practice boxing for three days, which made Bai Yujing dare not ask again.

Quan Qingzi said that the fast is one month, and the slow is half a year, and most of the year has passed all of a sudden, and it has entered the late autumn.

Fortunately, ten days ago, he sent someone to send a letter, in addition to reporting safety, the letter also talked about a major event, Xu Hai and Ye Ma and other Japanese robbers finally surrendered under the official army. However, their affairs are not over yet, and there are still many Japanese ronins with excellent martial arts in the Jiangnan area, among which there are extraordinary masters, and they may have to stay for a month or two.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, it is the time to climb high and look into the distance.

Bai Yujing was in Tianzhu Peak, and although he didn't have any relatives, he still bowed to the northwest three times. Although Wuzhi Mountain is gone, it will always remain in his heart.

As for Zhang Songxi, Bai Yujing found out for the first time that he didn't go to practice boxing early in the morning. Originally, in the past six months, whether it was windy or rainy, or lightning and thunder, he would practice boxing on the side of the cliff and the cliff. In the scorching heat, there are often heavy rainfalls, raindrops like curtains, and lightning strikes under the pressure of darkness, but Zhang Songxi has not been interrupted. At that time, Bai Yujing was really worried that he would accidentally fall off the cliff.

But today, he came to the edge of the cliff early and practiced boxing several times, but he didn't find Zhang Songxi. What's going on, Zhang Songxi's boxing practice has never stopped, why didn't he come today?

He went back to the yard and searched every corner, but he didn't find Zhang Songxi, as if a big living person suddenly disappeared.

Bai Yujing wanted to go to other Taoist leaders to ask, and thought that Zhang Songxi would definitely not go to visit other Taoist leaders, so he had to give up.

Inexplicably troubled, Bai Yujing simply practiced boxing.

This practice reached noon, "Ah-" The courtyard door was pushed open, and before the word "Master Zhang......" could be spoken, Bai Yujing realized that it was the young Taoist priest who had been bringing them food.

"It's time to eat. The young Taoist priest skillfully placed the dishes and chopsticks on the stone table aside.

Bai Yujing was in a bad mood and had no appetite, so he just glanced at it casually, and suddenly found that there was only a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did you only send one meal?"

The young Taoist priest glanced at Bai Yujing lightly and said, "This is prepared for you alone." ”

"What about Senior Brother Zhang?" Bai Yujing asked.

"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, Senior Brother Zhang made a mistake, and he thinks about it in the Houshan Asking Heart Hall at this time of year, so he didn't prepare his meals in previous years. "That young Taoist priest has a look that you don't even know.

"What did Senior Brother Zhang make wrong?" Bai Yujing exclaimed.

But when the young Taoist priest heard that Bai Yujing didn't seem to know about this, how dare he say more, and hurriedly retreated.

Although Bai Yujing wanted to hold him and ask about something, he thought about it, since people didn't want to say it, what could he do.

"Why don't you go to the Temple of Inquiry. Bai Yujing thought of Zhang Songxi's gloomy expression that day, and couldn't help but shake his head, he looked at the food, and he didn't have any appetite. The mood became more and more disturbed, and I couldn't help but go back to my room and fall asleep.

Ordinary people will definitely find it difficult to fall asleep if they have a bad heart, but Bai Yujing went to bed and fell asleep directly, which is the beauty of the fetal breath meridian. As Chen Tuan Ancestor said, "The dragon returns to the Yuan Sea, and the yang is hidden in the yin." People say that they sting the dragon, but I sting. "The heart fire sneaks into the kidney water, yin and yang are handed over to the dantian, so all the troubles are returned to nothingness, and the true qi in the body spontaneously runs Zhou Tian.

Bai Yujing slept until the fourth watch of the same night.

He was woken up by a man touching his nose, and he couldn't see who it was in the dark, but he felt that this person was short in stature and had slender fingers. Beside him, there was a slightly taller figure.

At this time, he should have screamed, no matter whether Zhang Songxi came back or not. But for some reason, Bai Yujing just struggled, and his slender hand instantly retracted, as if he was a little worried that Bai Yujing would wake up. Seeing this, Bai Yujing couldn't help but continue to pretend to be asleep.

And a voice came from outside the door: "Senior Brother Zhang, people from the Demon Sect have repeatedly appeared in Xiangyang Mansion recently, there is nothing wrong with you here, right?"

After this voice, Zhang Songxi's cold voice also came: "Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother is originally from Wudang, so naturally he will not do anything sorry for Wudang." ”

"It's good for the junior brother to remember this, don't live up to what the master said on his deathbed. Demon Sect thieves, everyone in the rivers and lakes will kill them!" The voice seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Songxi's answer.

Zhang Songxi didn't answer the man's words again.

After a while, seeing that there was no sound outside the door, a female voice suddenly sounded in Bai Yujing's ears: "Ping'er, what were you doing just now?"

"Mother...... Nothing ......" replied in a somewhat immature voice, it should be a little girl.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the moonlight followed the figure in. Only then did Bai Yujing see that it was Zhang Songxi, and next to his bedside was a mother and daughter.

"Are you awake?"
