The village is a small island that floats alone on the "forest sea", and the people who live here live a stable and stable life, but they are also destined to be isolated from the rest of the world.

In terms of isolation from the world, the advantage is to stay away from the world's strife and get peace of mind, while the disadvantage is not so obvious, long-term isolation from the world, no communication with the world, in terms of materials, no supply from the outside world, some of the things that are brought in in the village will be used less and less, maybe one day, will disappear invisibly.

Gold, silver, copper, and iron, the four most widely used metals in the earthly world, were naturally brought into the village, where gold and silver were widely circulated as money in the outside world, while iron and copper were used to make durable tools. The same is true in the village, gold is still used as money to buy and sell, but silver has disappeared, which is also very understandable, in the outside world, gold is more expensive than silver, those who entered the village, because they do not know that the village is different from the outside world, and far away from their homeland, naturally prefer to choose more valuable gold as a personal belongings, slowly, more and more people enter the village, and more and more gold is accumulated.

As the so-called scarcity is expensive, as there is more and more gold in the village, its value is not as good as the iron and copper, which are dozens of times cheaper than it.

This also makes the blacksmith a very useful profession in the village, and people have given the blacksmith a more respectful-sounding name: the caster, the master of iron-burning, furnace-casting, and casting, who melts the precious molten iron in their hands.

As an excellent foundry, Shi Zhenyun has always wanted Shi Yu to inherit his mantle, and taught him a set of boxing techniques, Shi Yu's qualifications are naturally needless to say, since he was a child, he is a good seedling of martial arts, Shi Zhenlin likes this smart, talented and high nephew very much, he believes that as long as Shi Yu follows his own learning, over time, he will be able to be better than the blue.

It's a pity that Shi Yu is not interested, he prefers swordsmanship, if he learns both swordsmanship and boxing, it will inevitably lead to Bo but not refinement, learning everything is the kung fu of a three-legged cat, which is a taboo for people who learn martial arts.

Although he can't be a "master and apprentice", the relationship between their uncle and nephew is quite harmonious, and his uncle likes to tease him since he was a child, and sometimes he even scares and scares him.

As Shi Yu grew up slowly, his martial arts continued to improve, his uncle sometimes took matters into his own hands, a little test for him, although Shi Yu was forced to do it, but he also had a certain confidence in his martial arts, the uncle and nephew "fought" like this, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

What Shi Zhenlin used was a rigid fist that was unbending, extremely brave, and coupled with his own strength, every punch was vigorous. However, in order to prevent accidental injury to Shi Yu, he deliberately put away his strength, and only a few layers of skill were enough.

With this retraction, the movement has become much slower

So Shi Yu had a chance, with the lightness of his body, to avoid his uncle's heavy punches, so that the fight between the two people became a chase race, one missed, and the other only avoided every punch, he didn't try to take his uncle's punch, but after receiving it, he knew how heavy this punch was, and he took five steps back before he unloaded the punch.

This kind of competition, in the end, Shi Yu will admit defeat in advance, this kind of play, although he will not be beaten, but he has to quickly flash and move, for a long time, it is a great consumption of physical strength.

Admitting defeat does not mean admitting defeat in the heart, for Shi Yu, the first defeat is in the hands of his uncle, and "Liangzi" is also concluded, as soon as he has the opportunity in the future, he will challenge his uncle, from the beginning, Shi Zhenlin only used one percent of his strength, to now, he has to use fifty percent of his strength to suppress Shi Yu, Shi Zhenlin watched Shi Yu grow up step by step.

While he was deeply grateful, he also lamented that time was passing year by year, and now, Shi Yu was fifteen years old and was about to welcome his coming-of-age ceremony.

Shi Yu is constantly tempering himself in the confrontation with his uncle, but no matter how diligent he is, he seems to have defeated his uncle, and it has always been like this for so many years.

He sometimes even wonders if he has never progressed, but if he thinks about it carefully, this kind of thinking is just a mediocre self-disturbance, not to mention anything else, his light skills have improved the most obviously, and he feels more and more handy, and even his grandfather has admitted his talent for martial arts.

He asked his uncle why he kept losing to him, and his uncle laughed heartily twice, stretched out his huge arms and said: "Your uncle is twenty years older than you, and he has practiced martial arts for twenty years more than you, you think it's so easy to beat, haha." If you want to beat me, practice for another twenty years, haha. ”

Shi Yu is unwilling, after another twenty years of training, he is already thirty-five, his uncle is fifty-five, one is old and frail, and the other is upright and prime, even if he wins, what is the use of fart.

He squinted at his uncle, who also looked at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "What, if you don't accept it, you don't accept it!"

Shi Yu snorted softly, he would go home and continue to practice hard, and he set a small goal for himself: to defeat his uncle before his coming-of-age ceremony.

One night, Shi Yu, who lost to his uncle again, had a dream, in which he was fighting with his uncle again, but this time, his uncle was not his opponent at all, and his uncle punched, Shi Yu disappeared immediately, and then appeared behind his uncle again, patting him on the shoulder, with a sneer on his face.

Uncle was patted on the shoulder, startled, panicked and punched in the back, Shi Yu disappeared again, after a long time, the uncle was already sweating profusely, panting, but always being swept behind by Shi Yu, being dizzy, Shi Yu laughed proudly like a demon on the side.

It wasn't until he woke up with a smile that Shi Yu knew that this was just his own dream, recalling the picture in the dream, everything was still fresh in his memory, in the dream, he avoided his uncle's steps, like an afterimage, his body was like a flat boat floating in the big waves, swaying from side to side, but as steady as Mount Tai, even if he fell to an incredible angle, he would not fall to the ground. Coherent, like a ghost, like a ghost, the shape is still in the shadow, making the opponent unguardable.

Since waking up with a smile, the rest of the night has been sleepless, Shi Yu carefully pondered this strange footwork, thinking about whether he could practice it and use it for me.

The next day, he began to practice, standing on a stake that was only enough for one foot to land on the ground, starting from the basic exercises, thinking while practicing, talking to himself like a psychotic all day long, forgetting to sleep and eating, and often dodging, like being punched by someone suddenly, however, this dodge is not the same as the ordinary one, the ordinary dodge, the body moves, and the legs also move, but his current dodge only moves the body, the feet stand in place, and the amplitude of the body flashing has reached an exaggerated angle.

At the beginning, Shi Yu couldn't control this kind of dodge well, a mistake was like a rush on the ground, fortunately he was quick with his hands, and immediately used his hands to support it, avoiding a dog gnawing mud, so as not to fall so ugly, but, gradually, Shi Yu gradually mastered the trick, and gradually became handy, flashing to the left, flashing to the right, like a tumbler. But people who don't understand see it and think it's a madman.

Shi Yu didn't expect that he would practice the effect so quickly, he smiled knowingly, and was a little complacent in his heart, and gave this magical martial art a name, called: Lost Steps.

In fact, Shi Yu's rapid progress is due to the great similarity between the Lost Trace Step and Light Gong, both of which are heavy and flexible, heavy and light martial arts, he already has a foundation of light skills, plus the hard practice during this time, the two complement each other and contribute to the success of this new martial arts.

Eight or nine times out of ten, the day of the coming-of-age ceremony is getting closer and closer, I haven't fought with my uncle for a long time, Shi Yu is a little nostalgic, this time I am busy practicing alone, I don't have time to find my uncle to practice, now the martial arts have been practiced, it is a mule or a horse, it's time to pull it out and try it. He decided to challenge his uncle.

It was a cold autumn season, and it was drizzling in the sky, but the uncle's foundry room was as warm as before, and the rain explained the intention, and the uncle was just busy and agreed at will, but he waited until he finished the work in his hands.

A hunting knife in my uncle's hand has begun to take shape, and it only needs to be finely polished and ornamented to become a sharp and graceful knife.

Shi Yu watched his uncle make a knife, and it was a morning, and the warmth in the room made him sleepy, but fortunately, his uncle was finally busy, ready to fight with Shi Yu, Shi Yu's sleepiness was removed, and he was ready to fight.

Shi Yu didn't hide a hand, and as soon as he went into battle, he took a lost step and circled around his uncle.

And Shi Zhenyun's side, watching Shi Yu make a maze step, although there were no waves on the surface, he was taken aback in his heart, he didn't expect Shi Yu's light skills to have progressed to such a point, and made a mental preparation, and used seven points of strength at the beginning, wanting to see if Shi Yu could catch it.

Shi Yu relied on his flexible body, constantly avoiding his uncle's fist style, it can be said that he was at ease, and he was extremely satisfied with this lost step, he already had a chance to win, but he didn't chase after the victory, and when he was a little tired of playing, he won with one blow.

Uncle was defeated by Shi Yu for the first time, shocked, did not forget to ask Shi Yu why his martial arts increased in a short period of time, Shi Yu also told his uncle about his lost steps, and the two still talked and laughed, and spent an afternoon.
