Chapter Thirty-Eight: Children of the Family
Since Bai Ya used the box of healing bone cream, he didn't dare to go out anymore and was embarrassed, and he has been eating and drinking in the wing. Every day, in addition to practicing the pile skills of tiger claws and mudras, it is to sleep and eat, eat and pull, and sleep.
However, the tiger claws and mudras he cultivated had changed from the original version.
Fortunately, the Vajra Mudra is okay, but the Yuanming Zen Master only modified the posture of the pile gong a little bit, so that the stressed parts of the body were changed, and the stimulated acupuncture points were adjusted. He now has no problem of being fixed at every turn, and his muscles and bones have been more comprehensively exercised.
However, the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong is different, this kung fu has been changed beyond recognition by Hui Nan, and the foundation pile gong has changed from two to four. In addition to the original lying piles and claw piles, there is also a lunge pile and an inner figure-eight horse step pile.
There are not many changes in the tiger claw moves, but the luck method has changed from the three energies of urging, penetrating and breaking to the five energies of urging, penetrating, breaking, shocking and grabbing. The first three remain unchanged, and the introduction of the latter two shocks and grappling forces makes Bai Ya excited.
The hallmark of the vibration is that when the tiger's claws land on a wooden stake more than a foot thick, in addition to the claw marks, the inside will be shaken into powder.
This introduction reminded Bai Ya of the Qigong of fighting cattle across the mountain that he had heard in his previous life, and after practicing Zhenjin, this martial art entered from the outside and reached the realm of qi. The introduction of the capture in the back is even more exaggerated, which is equivalent to capturing the dragon and controlling the crane, taking objects out of thin air, which not only belongs to the martial arts of the qi realm, but also has a very high degree.
In the texts copied by the monk Huinan, he renamed this martial art as the Vajra Tiger Fist! From a single claw technique of the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong to a complete basic fist method similar to the original Tiger Grappling Gong.
However, Bai Ya doesn't mind what this martial art is called, anyway, it is difficult to change it, and the King Kong Tiger Fist is the King Kong Tiger Fist!
In addition, the nameless mental method that Zen Master Yuanming completed the general outline, he also looked through it a few times. It's just that Bai Ya hasn't practiced yet, because there is a letter from Yuan Ming in this book, which makes him dare not practice rashly after reading it.
According to the Yuanming Zen Master in the letter, this nameless mental method was created by an ascetic monk in the Western Regions, and it is not a profound martial art. Rather, this senior monk left it for future generations to meditate and meditate regularly, which can best reduce the distracting thoughts and anger in the heart, and is a mantra used for meditation and contemplation.
Bai Ya was a little disappointed after reading it, he now completely likes to practice martial arts, and he doesn't have many distractions when he consciously practices martial arts, and this nameless mental method doesn't seem to be of much help to him. Moreover, Zen Master Yuanming reminded him in the letter that this method of mind should be practiced in a particularly quiet environment, otherwise once it is disturbed, there will be serious consequences.
The old monk didn't say what the consequences were, but with Bai Ya's understanding of him, the serious consequences he said were definitely not a trivial matter, at least not a hemorrhoid ointment that could be cured.
Therefore, Bai Ya felt that this mental method should be put into the future, if he was so irritable that he couldn't do it, he would take it out and meditate again!
Two days passed in a hurry, and Bai Ya got on the river boat as scheduled.
This boat was much smaller than the flower boat he had taken in Longxi County last time, and it was a three-sail medium-sized pointed bottom fortune boat.
In order to increase the speed of the boat, four large wheels in the shape of waterwheels were added on both sides of the hull. When starting, the wheels of the water wheel will also rotate, and the speed is not slower than the gas cruise ship that Bai Ya sat on in his previous life, almost more than 20 knots, and it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day.
When he got on the boat, Bai Ya actually saw the brother and sister in the inn again. It's just that he is now wearing a bronze mask on his face that he asked the shopkeeper to buy with help, and he doesn't go out when he is in the inn, so the two probably don't know him.
The brother and sister now have two more men and one woman and three young people around them, and they may be two or three years older than Bai Ya's body, around sixteen or seventeen years old. They were all wearing strong suits, wrist guards on their hands, and long swords at their waists, looking like warriors.
The young men seemed to be in high spirits, and they were all talking together, and the rest of the boat saw it, and they all consciously moved away.
Bai Ya's heart moved, and he pretended not to care and leaned closer, wanting to hear what they were talking about.
"Brother Lu, how sure are you of this exam?" asked a tall and burly young man with a somewhat immature face and a lot of freckles on his face.
The person called Brother Lu is the elder brother of the brother and sister in the inn. He was probably the eldest of the gang, and his expression was the most calm.
"I'm ashamed, it's already the second time I've entered the palace, if I can't be on the list this time, I'm afraid that the elders in the family won't let me continue to try!"
"Whatever my brother says, you will definitely be on the list!" Sister Lu next to him was full of confidence and shook her pink fist.
"Yes, yes, Brother Lu's family is very knowledgeable, and he works hard, he will definitely get what he wants this time!" The tall freckled young man peeked at the sister of the Lu family, and hurriedly comforted him.
"Ahem, Brother Lu rest assured, you were only unsuccessful in the last session, and this time you have been practicing hard for two years, and you will definitely be on the list!"
"Thank you Brother Tang for your words!" The young man surnamed Lu seemed to be quite convinced of this person, and hurriedly thanked him.
"Exams?"
Baiya Daqi, could it be that he was wrong? These people are not martial artists, but scholars who went to the exam?
However, it's almost winter now. He didn't understand the imperial examinations of the ancients, but he had also heard of the "Spring Examination" and "Autumn Examination", and he had never heard of the "Winter Examination"!
However, Bai Ya was not confused for long, and after listening for a while, he finally understood that they were going to take the exams of several martial arts halls in Chengdu.
From their words, it seems that it is very difficult to be recruited as disciples by those martial arts halls. Bai Ya guessed that these martial arts halls might be backed by the Immortal Martial Sect, and they should still be relatively famous big sects.
When they say that they are on the list, they refer to the list of apprentices posted after the martial arts exam.
Hearing this, Bai Ya felt that he should really put down his face and go to make friends with them. These people are not very old, and they will be less wary of strangers, and this is a good opportunity for him to find out the news.
"Cough, a few brothers, I overheard a few of them going to the Chengdu martial arts hall to take the exam, I don't know if I might ask which martial arts halls they are?"
Bai Ya thought of it, and faked a cough, attracting the attention of several people, and then stepped forward.
The conversation of several young people paused, and they looked at White Cliff with some vigilance. This is not to blame them, anyone who sees a stranger with a bronze mask on his face approaching, will have this expression.
"Hide your head and show your tail...... If you're talking to me, take off your mask first!" Behind the young men, a female voice that swirled like a nightingale came.
This is the only girl among the few people who has not spoken, she has been standing on the side of the boat by the railing, and when she saw Bai Ya coming, she followed. It's just that although this girl's voice is pleasing to the ear, her appearance is just ordinary, which is too far behind the charming and playful Sister Lu.
"Little sister......" The tall freckle boy was a little embarrassed, and hugged his fist towards Baiya, "Your Excellency, don't mind, the sister is just straightforward!"
It's actually a brother and sister again! Bai Ya felt strange in his heart.
Although the freckled boy apologized, the others did not let Bai Ya go, and their eyes were still fixed on his face. Especially the young man surnamed Tang, who had a sick face and looked like a beautiful woman, was the most cautious, and carefully looked at him from head to toe several times.
"It's okay, it's as it should be!"
Bai Yaken approached these people, and naturally he was mentally prepared. He quickly took off his mask, waited for them to look at it, and put it back on his face.
"Ah~~" Several people couldn't help but show surprise when they saw the situation on Bai Ya's face, and that Sister Lu exclaimed softly.
"I didn't deliberately hide my head and tail, but I had a problem on my face, so I had to be ears!" Bai Ya looked at everyone and said in a calm tone.
After two days of using the ointment, Bai Ya's face was even more terrifying than before.
Bone Healing Cream is actually a kind of decaying medicine, which will first rot the dead skin and rotten flesh after being applied to the affected area, and then stimulate the natural healing of the body. If it is combined with the Little King Kong Pill, then the effect will be even better.
It's just that Bai Ya has only used it for two days, and now he has just rotted the scars on his face, and his face looks even more shocking than before, no different from a carrion. In terms of appearance alone, you can play "Abomination" without makeup.
Such a face without a mask is disrespectful to others.
"I'm offended, please don't take it to heart!" Brother Lu, the eldest, immediately apologized and said with his fists clenched.
"Where did Your Excellency come from?" the young man surnamed Tang, who had a sickly face, went deeper and asked a question.
"In the lower white cliff, it is a person from Hanzhong, who lives in Yunlongling, and his father Bai Fu was originally a lay disciple of the outer gate of King Kong Temple. Bai Ya knew that these people didn't believe him so easily, and immediately moved out of the fake identity that Hui Nan had prepared for him.
"King Kong Temple is a great sect, why do you still want to come to the Chengdu Martial Arts Hall to take the exam?" the girl, whose voice was like a nightingale, asked with some curiosity.
"My father has passed away, and I am not used to the rules and precepts of Buddhism, so I have to try my luck in Chengdu!" Bai Ya said with a smile.
Brother Lu and the young man surnamed Tang glanced at each other, and finally stopped asking.
"In Xia Lu Yuan, this is the sister Lu Qing, who is a disciple of the Jiangyou Lu family!" The young man surnamed Lu introduced everyone, pointed to the burly freckled boy and another girl and said, "Those two are the Jiang brothers and sisters of Yinping, Jiang Wu and Jiang Nan!"
"In the Lower Tang Hunt, the disciple of the Tang family in Jiangzhou, I was offended just now, and I also invited my brother Tai Haihan!" The handsome young man with a sickly face did not wait for Lu Yuan to finish speaking, and then introduced himself.
"Don't get in the way, it's better to be cautious when you go out!" Bai Ya smiled and waved his hand, and then asked, "I don't know if you may appreciate your face, why don't you invite you to have a drink, and by the way, please also ask about the martial arts hall!"
Several young men looked at each other, and according to their original intentions, they did not want to drink with a stranger. However, Bai Ya spoke politely, and he did not hesitate to expose his ugly face just now, which was really difficult to refuse.
This is also Bai Ya's early expectation, although these young people are also intelligent, but after all, they are all young people, and their faces are too thin. If it is replaced by some old rivers and lakes, how can he have such an easy relationship.
"Okay, I'm also a little hungry in my stomach, let's go together!" Lu Yuan looked at the other people, and nodded helplessly in agreement.
