Chapter Twenty-Six: Martial Arts
Gu Shenwei stayed to learn martial arts from Xue Niang that day.
The two are not masters and apprentices, nor are they friends, but one teaches seriously and the other learns hard.
Gu Shenwei knew very well in his heart that Xue Niang and Miss's goal would not be just to provide a killer apprentice for Jinpeng Castle, they firmly held his handle, and they must have other plans, but before they opened their mouths to make their final requests, he would have temporary safety.
This is really a strange combination, Gu Shenwei claims to be called Yang Huan, and the spearhead of revenge is likely to be pointed at the eighth young lord Shangguan Fu, Luo Ningcha, who is the eighth young grandmother, didn't even care, Xue Niang didn't dig deeper, and easily believed this set of rhetoric, and he, a murderous year, had to rely on two women with ghosts to ensure his own safety.
There is another thing that is beyond Gu Shenwei's expectations, he is not the only one who follows Xue Niang to practice martial arts.
Jinpeng Castle's naming of female slaves is similar to that of male servants, and it is also a word selected from the "Thousand Character Text", the only difference is that the word suffix is "female".
The person who practiced martial arts with Gu Shen was called the Lotus Girl, and she was one of the ten virgins that the big-headed god bought in the way.
This is a taciturn girl, if not too serious, she can be called a beauty, she always looks contemplative, vigilant about everything around her, especially pay attention to listen to every word of the snow lady, observe every movement of the snow lady.
From Xue Niang's point of view, the lotus girl is an excellent disciple.
Gu Shenwei had never heard Yao Nu mention her.
The pointy-faced boy had mentioned how the other girls were, but there were no Dutch girls, which was extremely rare for a show-off who liked to talk about it.
Xue Niang's method of teaching martial arts is completely different from that of the Gu family, on the first day, without demonstrating a single move, she let the two "disciples" of men and women fight against each other, not to the point to the end, but to fight with all their might.
Gu Shenwei was kicked down by a sudden kick for the first move, and only then did he understand that the lotus girl was serious, and he also understood why Yao Nu was often injured before.
The lotus girl has no martial arts foundation, and with her good understanding and ruthlessness, she followed Xue Niang to practice her fists and feet in dozens of days.
Gu Shenwei wanted to hide his strength at the beginning, but in the end, he had to do his best to bring out all the strength of the first layer of harmony in order to barely reach a draw.
The lotus girl has not practiced internal skills at all, but her experience in battle is much richer than that of Gu Shenwei.
After practicing for less than half an hour, Gu Shenwei was already sweating profusely, and the breath in the dantian was surging, as if he was overwhelmed.
Xue Niang is on the side at any time, but most of them are for the lotus girl, and she didn't give advice or orders until the end of the Huan slave left on the first day:
"Forget about the tattered boxing skills you learned, and practice your internal skills. To get into the East Castle and live to be a killer, you'll have to start all over again. ”
That afternoon, Xue Niang went to serve the young lady and asked the Dutch girl to teach Huan Nu "Fuhu Boxing".
can't beat a girl of the same age as herself, it's enough to lose face, and she has to learn boxing with her one move at a time, which makes Gu Shen feel embarrassed, especially the Dutch girl's attitude is indifferent, and she doesn't say a word, as if she is extremely reluctant.
However, after returning to the Accumulation Institute in the evening, Gu Shenwei experienced another unexpected treatment.
The new hospital manager took the initiative to talk to Huan Nu for the first time, and encouraged him a few words, telling him that he would no longer have to care about the injured in the hospital in the future.
The other five teenagers also wore embarrassed smiles to welcome the return of the "sworn brother", and the tired slave even helped him dust off the sharp soil on his body, and his attitude changed so much that Gu Shenwei couldn't accept it for a while.
His focus is still on sending slaves,
As always, although he also came to show goodwill, he did not say much, and often said a sentence when he was about to be cold, giving people the feeling that he was the leader of a small group.
Gu Shenwei decided to put the matter of Bai Juan aside for the time being, he wanted to concentrate on learning martial arts, not only to enter Dongbao as a killer apprentice, but also to deal with the two women.
Jinpeng Fort is like a huge mountain of King Kong, indestructible from afar, but you can see small cracks when you look closely, Gu Shenwei has already touched a few, but it is far from enough for the great cause of revenge, he wants to continue to go deeper, until the intersection of all the cracks.
Gu Shenwei can now practice martial arts openly, in addition to eating and sleeping, he will spend almost all of his time practicing martial arts, even if he comes back from Xue Niang, he will go to the Ghost Cliff to practice harmony, and he will chase back all the wasted ten years.
Xue Niang desperately hopes that the two teenagers she will recommend can excel in Dongbao, so the supervision is extremely strict, and even interferes in Huannu's internal cultivation, she is also afraid that the tragedy of Yaonu will repeat.
Xue Niang is not like Gu Lun, when teaching internal skills, step by step, seeking stability rather than speed, she almost uses violent means to promote Huan Nu to improve her internal strength.
Gu Shenwei had to practice Harmony Jin in front of her once a day, and she poked a finger at him from time to time, hitting different acupuncture points with each blow, inputting a domineering heat to help him open up his meridians.
This is naturally very beneficial to the cultivation of internal strength, but it is also extremely painful, and within a few days, Gu Shenwei is covered with bruises all over his body, and he can't find a comfortable posture when he sleeps at night.
The daily sparring with the lotus girl is even more painful, this silent girl has an inexplicable jealousy of Huan Nu from the beginning, and when Xue Niang helps him practice internal skills alone, she regards her fellow teenagers as enemies.
Gu Shenwei has never been so hated.
He was at a loss for this, and a wave of irritation and unconvincing ensued him, and he wanted to overpower the Dutch girl.
When learning Fuhu Boxing, this goal is difficult to achieve, Gu Shenwei is not very good at fist and foot kung fu, and he entered the door of Xue Niang nearly two months later than the lotus girl, but when Xue Niang taught the knife technique ten days later, the situation was different.
As the annual date for Dongbao to recruit new apprentices approached, Xue Niang had to teach as many martial arts as possible in a short period of time in order to catch up.
"People who practice martial arts, fists and feet are the foundation, the body is light and healthy, and then learning other weapons will naturally come naturally, but the fists and feet are only the foundation, don't expect to use it to fight with others, no matter how good your fists and feet are, holding a sharp blade will only make you stronger. Someone defeated a sword, gun, sword and halberd with his bare hands, and that was because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, not because his fists and feet were better than weapons. Remember, you have to be a killer and kill people for a living, and your opponent is not chosen by you, but by the patron, so you must not think of beating the knife with your fist, only beating the knife with the sword, and winning the fist with the sword. ”
Xue Niang herself practices iron finger kung fu, which is not very suitable for her theory, but she is not a killer, and she doesn't want to be a killer, and she serves the young lady in the courtyard of the deep mansion all the year round, so she really doesn't need a sword much.
Gu Shenwei is familiar with the family knife technique, but he has already said that he can't learn it at home, so he deliberately hides it.
Fortunately, Xue Niang doesn't care, she teaches the actual combat knife technique, there is no fixed routine, a total of eighteen styles, each style is very simple, or chop or slash or stab or grid, there are few changes, but after practice, Xue Niang asked the two of them to combine the eighteen styles by themselves, and they can evolve countless new moves.
Xue Niang said that this set of knife techniques is the "Iron Mountain Knife Method", which is one of the martial arts that the Iron Mountain bandits rely on to cross the desert.
Gu Shenwei felt that the Tieshan knife technique was not as subtle as his own knife technique, but it was easy to learn and understand the change, and he occasionally added one or two moves to the Gu family knife technique when combining the eighteen styles, and it was also smoothly connected, and sometimes there was an unexpected effect.
This is a difficult point for the lotus girl, before that, she has not even held a real knife, just familiar with the knife posture and force method used for several days, so in the fight, she is far behind, sometimes the gap is too big, Xue Niang has to personally enter to fight against Huan Nu.
As a result, the lotus girl became more silent and gloomy, and every time Gu Shenwei came, he saw that she was already practicing the knife, and she still kept the knife in her hand when she left.
Gu Shenwei's Harmony Jin is also progressing rapidly, a month has passed, he has broken through two levels in a row, and the Yin and Yang strength have reached the second level.
Since entering Jinpeng Castle, Gu Shenwei had never felt so good, and his confidence in revenge had greatly increased, although he was still separated from his ultimate goal by thousands of mountains and rivers, he could already faintly see the highest peak.
He wants to become the strongest killer and take revenge on the killers.
When the daughter of the big head god is bored, she will come to see Xue Niang to teach martial arts, of course, she still has to be separated by a screen, many of her habits in the Iron Mountain have been forced to give up, only this one is more and more insistent, not only men other than her husband are forbidden to look at her, even the ordinary women in the castle can't see her true face.
It is said that the young lady also wears several veils every day when she asks her mother-in-law for peace, and it is not difficult to understand why the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is so bad.
When Gu Shenwei practiced the Iron Mountain knife technique with the Dutch girl, the young lady would sometimes comment a few words, and the four personal maids would use the words to reminisce about the happy times in the past with the young lady.
From these verbose memories, Gu Shenwei found that Miss didn't know any martial arts at all, Iron Mountain was not a real place name, where the bandit camp was located, it was called Iron Mountain, and Xue Niang was not a real nurse, she only joined the gang when Miss was a few years old.
It was autumn on the day that Dongbao recruited the Killer Apprentice, and the first frost of the year had fallen the night before, and the sky was overcast, but the air above the peak was fresh.
Xue Niang personally took Huan Nu and the Lotus Girl to Dongbao.
There are many buildings in the fort, the alleys and alleys are vertical and horizontal, like a labyrinth, if it is not led by someone, it is difficult for outsiders to walk an inch, and the time to enter the fort is not too long, Xue Niang knows the complex path well, Gu Shenwei is not surprised by this.
The East Fort is the same as the West Fort, there are countless courtyards, Xue Niang took the two into a very small courtyard, and many places in Jinpeng Castle, the small courtyard that has gone through a hundred years of wind and rain has been dilapidated, but the named gentleman behind the long table maintains his majesty, which makes people feel that the strength of Jinpeng Fort is not in the house.
Mr. Named glanced up at the comer, who was the first batch of new apprentices, and who had not yet left an ink on his book.
"Which hospital?"
"Eight young masters. ”
"Name. ”
"Dutch girl. ”
......
Mr. Named asked, the content was complicated, and even what martial arts he had learned were recorded one by one, and the questions were all answered by Xue Niang, and Gu Shenwei and the lotus girl only needed to wait quietly on the side.
All went well, and the Dutch became the first recorded killer apprentice of the year.
At this time, two or three new apprentices came, and the small courtyard seemed a little crowded.
It was Gu Shenwei's turn, everything was going well, Huan Nu's name had been written in the book, only the last few items were missing, but there was a mistake when asked about the martial arts he had learned.
"Has he learned internal skills?"
"Well, I learned a little bit of introductory exercises. It was Xue Niang who answered for him, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Mr. Registered lowered his head, crossed out the records in Huan Nu's name in the book, then raised his head and said:
"He can't get into East Fort. ”
