Chapter 8: Learning Martial Arts
Chapter 8 Martial Arts
The little boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain may have a new friend, so he ran to Chen Shanshui very happily, lying on the ground, and looked at him curiously.
"My name is Zhao Hu, what's your name. ”
"Chen Shanshui. Chen Shanshui replied and asked, "What's the name of that cool strong man, who are you?" ”
"Uh!" Zhao Hu didn't understand the meaning of cool, but he still understood the meaning of the whole sentence, and replied honestly, "That's my father, my father's name is Zhao Zhong, well, my father said, you will follow him to learn martial arts in the future, so I will call you junior brother in the future, you will call me senior brother." ”
After speaking, Zhao Hu looked at Chen Shanshui expectantly, obviously thinking of letting him call him senior brother.
Okay, how do you say that you will have to follow his father in the future, Chen Shanshui smiled sweetly, and said innocently: "Senior brother, good." ”
"Dad, Dad!" Zhao Hu stood up happily, ran to pull his father in front of Chen Shanshui and said, "Dad, my junior brother has called me senior brother, Dad, I will be a senior brother in the future, right?"
Seeing that the strong man still looked cool, Chen Shanshui had to stand up, honestly stood in front of the strong man, hugged his fists and said, "Meet Master, I've seen Senior Brother." ”
"Well, I'll start practicing martial arts again tomorrow. The strong man nodded, accepted Chen Shanshui's title, threw this sentence, and turned back to clean up the pots and bowls.
"yes! You can play today. Zhao Hu jumped up very happily, as if he was so happy that he didn't have to practice martial arts today.
Zhao Hu took out two sweet potatoes from the fire under the iron pot, handed one to Chen Shanshui, and sat beside him and ate happily.
Chen Shanshui took a bite of the sweet potato, felt very sweet, and said: "Senior brother, you are so happy today without practicing martial arts, is it hard to practice martial arts." ”
Zhao Hu nodded fiercely, still biting the sweet potato in his mouth, and said inarticulately: "Yes, I'm tired, I have to carry water every day, and I have to stand on a horse, when you didn't come, I had been picking for three months." ”
Looking at Chen Shanshui's disapproving appearance, Zhao Hu exaggeratedly pointed to the ten large tanks in front of the thatched house and said: "Senior brother, you have to fill ten large tanks, otherwise there will be no food to eat, so pitiful." ”
Chen Shanshui's heart rose with an ominous premonition, looking at the water tank several times larger than his body, and then biting the sweet sweet potato in his mouth, how could he feel that it tasted like chewing wax.
Chen Shanshui said uncertainly: "What you said is that it will be full in one day, did you pick it before?"
Zhao Hu actually smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, it's a whole ten jars of water, to be filled in one day, if it's not full at night, there will be no dinner, but I'll tell you secretly, these sweet potatoes are in the field in front, you can pick them secretly, and in the forest behind, there are also a lot of wild fruits, but you can't go too deep, Daddy said that it is a forbidden place, it's very dangerous, when I was punished by my father, I went there at night to find wild fruits to eat." ”
Chen Shanshui wrote it down, and he didn't realize that with his small body now, he could really fill ten jars of water in a day.
"Senior brother, can you tell me about the world beyond the mountain? Zhao Hu watched his father walk away, and suddenly leaned into Chen Shanshui's ear and said softly.
Chen Shanshui couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hu, this sturdy body is half a head taller than him, even if he develops well, his age will not be lower than him, at least six or seven years old, children generally have some impressions of the surroundings when they are two or three years old, doesn't that mean that Zhao Hu is at least one or two years old, and he was even here when he was born, and he never went out.
Chen Shanshui did not answer Zhao Hu's words, but asked strangely: "Then why don't you go out, isn't the Canghai Sect forbidding you to go out." ”
Zhao Hu shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Daddy said that there is his enemy outside, so he can't leave here." ”
Just when Chen Shanshui wanted to ask again, Zhao Hu's father had already washed the pots and bowls from the lake in the distance and walked back, Zhao Hu hurriedly made a silent action, although Chen Shanshui was curious, it was not good to ask again.
......
Sure enough, Chen Shanshui's ominous premonition appeared, the next day, before dawn, the master had already knocked on the door, and after watching Zhao Hu and Chen Shanshui come out, he threw down a firewood knife, a flat pole, and two wooden barrels and said: "Shanshui will start to carry water from today, and fill five large tanks every day, Hu'er, you go and chop firewood, and split a thousand every day." ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the two disciples, sat down cross-legged on a grass, and slowly began to exhale at the sunrise, only to see a faint white qi slowly rising from the top of his head.
Zhao Hu looked at Chen Shan Shui with envy and said, "Senior brother, Daddy is so good to you, so I let you fill five large vats." ”
Chen Shanshui smiled bitterly, picked up this flat pole that was taller than his body, picked up a wooden barrel at one end, and walked towards the small lake that was at least more than a kilometer away.
For a whole day, except for the lunch time, Chen Shanshui was running between the small lake and the thatched hut, his shoulders were already grinding blood, but still did not pick up the five cylinders, not that he did not work hard enough, it was really his small body, and there was no natural divine power, he could only fill a third of the bucket of water back each time, he wanted to fill more, but unfortunately, the only time he filled half a bucket of water, he fell face to the ground directly on the way, and after gnawing a mouthful of soil, he never dared to fill so much water again.
Until dusk, there was already a strong smell of meat wafting from the iron pot, but Chen Shanshui only filled two large tanks of water.
"It's time to eat. A low voice came, Zhao Hu had already split a thousand pieces of firewood, and there was still time to stand in the afternoon, at this time he heard his father's call, and couldn't help cheering, ran to the iron pot, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the whole fat rabbit in the pot, couldn't help but drool, picked up a piece of meat, and felt that his mouth was full of fat but not greasy taste.
"Ha, Master, Senior Brother, eat meat. Chen Shanshui didn't know when he came to the pot, so he naturally picked up the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed a rabbit leg from the iron pot, and gnawed it.
Zhao Hu forgot to eat at this moment, his face was dumbfounded, and he looked at his junior brother with admiration, it was too good, he didn't fill the five tanks of water, so he dared to sit down and eat meat in a grand manner.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you. Chen Shanshui winked at Zhao Hu, then looked at the master and said, "Master's natural disciple is full of five large tanks of water, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to eat." ”
Zhao Zhong glanced at Chen Shanshui, didn't say anything, and continued to eat the meat in the bowl, which made Zhao Hu admire it even more, looking at his junior brother with adoration in his eyes, feeling that his junior brother was too powerful, and he was not afraid of his father at all.
This rabbit is the size of a piglet, and I don't know where Zhao Zhong caught it, anyway, the three of them ate very well, and when Chen Shanshui wanted to continue to complete the unfinished business after eating the rabbit, Zhao Zhong beckoned to him and said, "Shanshui, you come with me." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Chen Shanshui obediently followed the master, and some didn't understand why the master called him to his house alone.
When he arrived at the house, Zhao Zhong asked Chen Shanshui to sit on his bed, and after sitting cross-legged, he sat behind Chen Shanshui with his hands on his back.
Feeling the scorching breath on his hands behind his back, Chen Shanshui said curiously: "Master, are you teaching me luck?" But disciple, I am a body of patina and iron bones, and I don't know if practicing martial arts will have an impact. ”
A strange color flashed on Zhao Zhong's face, he didn't tell himself that this disciple's qualification was that his qualifications were rusted and iron, and he was not suitable for cultivating immortals before he was thrown here, but he didn't ask, but said: "Hold on to your mind, concentrate your will, feel the practice route of this air current, and when you carry water in the future, you will follow this route." ”
Sure enough, the master is still so cool, Chen Shanshui hurriedly experienced the operation of that air flow in the meridians, if it is an ordinary person, don't say a child, even an adult, for this kind of air flow in the complex meridians, don't say it once, even if it is ten times, a hundred times may not be able to figure it out, after all, there are countless meridians in the body, intricate, if you don't know enough about the human body, how can you easily remember
When Zhao Zhong used his qi to run in his body for a week, Chen Shanshui had already remembered that it was too simple for Chen Shanshui to start from the shoulder and neck acupoints, go around the body and then go around to the Zuyong acupoint, and then go around and back.
After Chen Shanshui walked out of the master's room, Zhao Zhong finally couldn't keep his cool face, but looked shocked, and even muttered: "Immortal genius, immortal genius, maybe he can...... No, it's too early, can't rush, wait, wait. ”
