Chapter 8: The Ten Stages of Martial Disciples
Xiaohe Village Martial Arts Training Ground.
This area is one of the two or three largest buildings in Xiaohe Village.
It is divided into two places: the outer martial arts field and the inner training institute.
It is better and more spacious than the old blue brick and tiled house of the village chief's house, which is also located in the center of the village, showing the importance that the villagers attach to their ancestors, martial arts training, and literary practice.
It's the turn of summer and autumn, and it's scorching during the day and slightly cold at night.
Xiaohe Village is located in Yanzhou, which is located in the northern region, and close to the mountains, the sky is bright and cool in the morning, and the spacious bluestone practice dam in the center of the village is half a person high, and young men and women come to exercise in twos and threes.
Swinging fists and squatting horses, shouting and cheering.
Sweat and diligence.
These are all teenagers who have a bit of talent for martial arts, and have the opportunity to be admitted to the town's martial arts training hall, want to pass the county exam, become an imperial martial artist, and finally move towards a bright future.
Others are just exercising, and they are generally late when they are not too demanding.
And only for half a day.
More young people who come to exercise every day are busy repairing the road lately and don't have time to come.
When Sanya Yuexi followed Erhu Yuejin to wear a loose short beat made of half-new green cotton, it was still early.
The rest of the casual exercisers hadn't arrived yet, just a circle of teenage boys and girls who couldn't help but whisper and look at the two siblings who were obviously under age.
"Coming to practice martial arts at such a young age?"
“...... I heard that I have a lot of strength, and my younger brother has been bullied several times in the past few days, and he is clamoring to come to martial arts in advance...... "Some people are eager to try and want to find an opportunity to help their younger brother find a place to get back."
"My cousin is also ......"
There are also several teenagers in the family who have not been robbed of food, or who have been robbed and have not complained: "Erhuzi is indeed fast and flexible, and his brain is also bright, but I haven't heard that he likes to bully the children in the village?"
The ten-year-old Erhu is still very famous among the older children in the village.
Not only is the dress always slightly different from other village children, but also the psychological shadow left by peers when they first learned the Three Classics, plus they are compared by other people's children from time to time.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party could play and learn, he would also have a cheerful and generous personality.
I have long been ostracized by children of the same age.
"It's not ......" was about to explain when it was interrupted.
"All the morning exercises come to the right dam, and the stone lifting test area in the left dam is vacated, Zhang He! Meng Mu! The two of you organize the morning training of your own age team! The women's team comes to me!" A clear female voice loudly arranged everything on the martial arts training ground.
Soon, the more casual exercise was in order.
It is divided into three small areas.
"Sister Meng Qing!"
"Sister Meng Qing!"
The martial arts training field was quickly divided into three teams, the younger teenagers were in a team of eight, basically about twelve to fifteen years old, and the older teenagers were in a team of five people, with different ages, and the oldest looked like he was twenty years old.
There were also six teenage girls who formed a team.
Coupled with Meng Qing, the heroic girl who commanded the detachment, there were a total of twenty martial arts teenagers and girls in the field, and this was the official number of students gathered by the village martial arts at this moment.
There are not many people.
After being tidy, it seems that the martial arts field is a lot more spacious.
"It's Xiao Jin and Xiao Xi of the Yue family!"
The girl with a gentle attitude was dressed in a white martial arts training uniform, and walked heroically from the martial arts training ground to Yue Xi and the two, with vigorous steps.
Waving his hand and motioning for the two of them to come with her, he said as he walked, "My second uncle will come in a while, and yesterday he said that you were going to come to school, but I didn't expect you to come so early!
Meng Qing's eyes fluttered when she smiled, with a bit of a nascent girlish demeanor, which made people feel very good, and asked the two: "What, I like to practice martial arts very much?"
Yue Jin nodded vigorously.
Yue Xi's expression was calm.
She just came to school, and she didn't like it or not.
Meng Qing only felt that the two of them were nervous, and couldn't help but say a few more words to ease each other's emotions:
"Martial arts training is not a simple matter! First, you must be diligent, second, you must be able to endure hardships, and third, you will know in a while, anyway, we will get along for a long time in the future, unless you go to school in the town. ”
"Sister Meng Qing, why don't you go to town?"
Yue Jin naturally knew Meng Qing of the village chief's family, the other party was three or four years older than him, just as he was famous in the village middle school, Meng Qing was also in martial arts, and I heard that his talent was very good.
"Because of my second uncle!" Meng Qing explained to the two children very seriously.
"The only two martial arts hall owners in the town, like the martial arts of martial arts, are all beginner-level second- and third-pattern martial arts adults, although the only martial arts master of the town is stronger than my second uncle is a four-pattern martial artist, but it is better to learn from my second uncle, and there are few martial arts scholars in our village!"
As he spoke, he winked and laughed at the two of them.
Let Yue Jin feel a lot closer.
The kind smile diluted the majesty of a substitute teacher brought about by her command of the martial arts order just now, and the tension in Yue Jin's heart was relieved, and when he looked sideways at his sister who was still calm and waveless, the corners of his mouth twitched again.
The last bit of tension is gone.
"Okay, let's test first!
Meng Qing said and took the two to the Shiju District.
The test of the two brothers and sisters of the Yue family aroused the curiosity of the formal students of the martial arts, after all, these two brothers and sisters are not unknown in the village, and everyone knows that the eldest two tigers know that some scumbags will always have pain in their hearts.
Tong Sanjing's learning speed has not been surpassed by anyone in the village so far.
Not to mention the smaller one.
It is said that just a few days after she came back, all the children in the village who had not officially entered the martial arts school had been bullied by the other party nine times out of ten, which made the eyes of some brothers and sisters of formal martial arts students look at her very complicated.
But because Meng Qing, the niece of the martial arts chief, is one of the three strongest martial arts at present, the teenagers only maintained a posture of onlookers.
Moreover, seeing a little girl who is more than half the age younger than them, not everyone can do it.
At most, I plan to warn each other after school.
My younger brothers and sisters are covered in mud every day, and from time to time their noses and faces are swollen, and they go home as if they have taken a bath in the mud......
When Meng Qing began to routinely explain to the new students, he listened to them solemnly in an instant.
The scene was quiet.
Only Meng Qing's bright voice preached powerfully:
"Before becoming a martial artist, they were all martial apprentices!"
"Martial apprentices are divided into ten sections, and the standard for entering the village martial arts school is that you have the power of the first stage of the martial apprentice before the age of ten, or the power of the second stage of the martial apprentice before the age of twelve, or the power of the fourth stage of the martial apprentice before the age of fifteen... Otherwise, you can only ...... with the school"
"The requirements for martial arts in the town are higher, and only seventh-stage martial apprentices under the age of sixteen are accepted......"
"A martial artist only needs to lift a stone weighing two jun on behalf of a section and a half-pillar incense time, a stone lift of the second stage is three jun heavy, and a stone lift of four jun in the third section is a stone lift with the power of one stone, all of which are half a pillar of incense to qualify. ”
"In addition to the weight gain of two jun per section of the stone lifting in the fourth to sixth sections, a pillar of incense is qualified, and there is also a ...... of squatting horses."
"After the seventh stage, the stone lifting increases to four stones, and the power of each of the eight sections and nine sections increases by one stone, and the stability time remains the same, in addition to squatting on the horse, it also increases the basic fist and foot test ...... in the martial arts."
"I won't mention anything else for now. ”
Meng Qing's voice suddenly became a little louder,
"In short, the stone lifting force measurement and the bow force measurement are the first level of the martial arts students, but they can't pass it, and the other test qualifications are not available!
