Chapter 1 Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall
As the sun sets, the birds return to their nests, the smoke curls up, and the whole town is shrouded in a glow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
To the west of Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi Province, in a small town called Changyuan, a tall and spacious house sits next to the bluestone road, the door of the house is open, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking is constantly coming, mixed with several shouts and scolding. In the courtyard, a middle-aged man who looked like a rich man was reprimanding his son: "Yihang, you are not young, but you still don't know how to adopt temperament, every day is just fighting cocks and dogs, drilling into mountains and rivers, and wasting your time! Send you to a private school, and you will escape back after a few days, it will really make your father angry to death!" That Yihang is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who is teasing himself with a big dog with yellow fur standing up, and he doesn't look back and says: "Daddy, Mr. Zhang from the private school, he only talks about Zi and poems all day long, and I can hear a layer of calluses in my ears." The boy's father is named Li Kaishang, in his forties, black and fat, wearing a purple satin dark flower robe, lying on a bamboo chair, and said: "You just can't calm down and study hard, your father and I don't know a few big characters, I have suffered a lot of losses, I want you to take a children's exam, but you have no intention of learning, my Li family has been a farmer for generations, and it is not easy to come up with a reader!"
The young man Li Yihang ordered the big yellow dog to squat down, turned around and said: "Daddy, it's not that I want to skip class, it's really boring, and I don't want to write and ink in the article. Daddy, when it comes to reading, I don't know a word, Mr. Zhang once said, Zi said: 'A gentleman has three precepts, when he is young, his blood is undecided, and the precept is in color; How should this word 'color' be explained?" A middle-aged man in a short green cloth coat said with a smile: "Young master, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, although your Uncle De has not read a book for a few years, he has a deep feeling for this color character." As he spoke, he picked up his long axe, and with a click, split a piece of firewood. Li Yihang said: "Do you still have in-depth feelings?" Uncle De, tell me, what kind of feeling and experience method is this color?"
Li Kaishang said: "Go and go, don't listen to your Uncle De's nonsense, he will only brag, about this 'color' word, it is really not his turn to talk more." Li Yihang said: "Listen to Daddy, are you very good at the word 'color'?" Li Kaishang said: "Hang'er, didn't Mr. Zhang explain this sentence to you?" Li Yihang grinned and said: "It seems that there is, but I was meeting with Zhou Gong at that time! Later, he was picked up by Mr., and his palm was whipped more than twenty times, Dad, you see, two days have passed, and the palm of this hand is still red, swollen and swollen. Li Kaishang looked at it, sighed and said, "If it were me, I would have opened your ass a long time ago." Li Yihang stuck out his tongue and said, "My mother won't let you beat me!" Li Kaishang said: "Your mother is protecting you, how a loving mother is a loser." Mr. Zhang punished you for copying this sentence a hundred times, is this copying finished?" Li Yihang said: "I have already copied it, but I don't know why, why do you have to quit this color." ”
Li Kaishang said: "Don't tease Wangcai, come here, Daddy will explain your doubts well." Li Yihang patted the big dog, let it play by itself, walked to his father's chair, and sat on the ground. Li Kaishang said: "Hang'er, you are not young anymore, you are still ordinary playful, isn't it the same as Wangcai to sit on the ground? At this time, a woman in silk clothes came out of the east wing room and interjected: "I learned it from you, look at you, sit or not, stand or not, my son has learned a lot from you." Li Kaishang also said: "It's all because you dote on your son too much, you are not allowed to beat or scold, look at what has become now? The son is difficult to teach, the mother's fault!" Li Yihang smiled: "Daddy, don't you also marry your mother, what do I have to worry about?" Li Kaishang said: "Daddy, what am I doing hardworking, my brain is flexible, I didn't have to say kiss back then, there were many matchmakers who came to our house to introduce girls....... Mrs. Li said: "Phew, the older you get, the thicker your skin becomes." He turned to his son and said, "I didn't know what happened at that time, my brain was not very good, so I followed your father in a daze, and now it's too late to regret it." Hey, why hasn't the meal started at this time, why is Sister-in-law Xu so slow?"
Uncle De said on the side: "Madam, Sister-in-law Xu doesn't have firewood to cook, so you have to let me prepare it." Mrs. Li said: "Why did you go earlier, did you go to drink and roll the dice again, your mother asked you to keep some money so that you could marry a daughter-in-law, you always didn't listen, you went to mess around after you got paid, you didn't do any work, you moved neatly, I could hear the old Li Tou's stomach screaming." Uncle De said yes again and again, threw off his arms, and went down with an axe.
Li Kaishang took his son's hand and said: "Hang'er, you just don't like dancing and writing, you don't know that there is a golden house in the book, and you have your own Yan Ruyu, and there is no way to go on like this, if you don't like scriptures, then go learn some crafts to make a living." Li Yihang put away his smile and responded: "Yes, as long as my father doesn't want me to take the Xiucai exam, the child will definitely work hard." Li Kaishang nodded and said, "But there is some truth, but you really have to read more sage books to know." The word 'color' does not refer to ordinary colors, but refers to women's women's colors, this first sentence is to say, when people are young, their blood has not yet grown, don't just think that the girl is beautiful, that girl is beautiful, and you can't indulge in lust, it means to be based on academic morality, do you understand?" Li Yihang nodded, looking at his expression, he didn't know if he really understood this. Li Kaishang said lovingly: "Hang'er, you tell your father, do you have a girl you like in your heart?" Li Yihang said: "No." Li Kaishang said with a smile: "Don't you like to play with Xiaoqian, the girl of the Chen family in the east of the town, that little girl is very handsome, but it's a pity that she works every day, and the female celebrity is lacking." ”
Yi Hang said: "Daddy, don't laugh at the child, I just talked to her a little bit, but I didn't mean that." Li Kaishang said: "Hang'er, you are getting older, you should let you know that when you were very young, your father once designated a family business for you, and after knowing this, don't do something stupid to make other women misunderstand." Li Yihang was surprised and asked: "Could it be that you are married to the belly?" Li Kaishang said: "Be serious, listen carefully, the surname of the in-laws is Zhang, it is a Hanyang family, and Uncle Zhang, the father of the family, often came to our house as a guest in the early years, and when he saw that you were lively and elf when he was young, he promised his beloved daughter to you, and also created a dragon and phoenix jade pendant for you." Speaking of this, Li Kaishang turned around and said to Yahuan, who was standing at the entrance of the hall: "Xiaomei, you go and ask Mrs. to bring Yihang's jade pendant." Xiaomei agreed to go. Yihang asked: "Daddy, have you seen Uncle Zhang's daughter?" Li Kaishang said: "I haven't seen it, when Uncle Zhang designated his relatives, he didn't bring his daughter over, but I know that she is a year or two younger than you." ”
"Why don't I have any impression of Uncle Zhang, Daddy, haven't you ever been to Uncle Zhang's house?" Li Kaishang said: "You were only four or five years old when Uncle Zhang came to our house, and he came twice a year at that time, and he didn't live for a long time, so you naturally remember it." Speaking of shame, it's all your Uncle Zhang who came to our house, I haven't been to his house, he once invited us to live in Hanyang, but my father had something to do at the time, and he didn't go after calling a few times, and now I only know that he lives in Hanyang City, and is a famous local family. ”
At this time, Xiaomei walked over with a small sandalwood box with both hands, Li Kaishang took it, opened it, and picked up a small jade pendant, which was a piece of topaz carved from bending and looking back at Jiaolong, vibrant, the jade was warm and delicate, with brownish red color, very exquisite. Yihang took it and rubbed it and played with it, wiped it with a sigh, and put it on his eyes to look at the sky, which was really lovely. Li Kaishang said: "There is also a phoenix-shaped jade pendant, which is in the hands of your Uncle Zhang, these two jade pendants can be combined together to form a circular pattern, which is carefully carved by Uncle Zhang's skilled craftsmen, and you two children will be matched into a pair in the future." ”
Li Kaishang looked at his son with a happy expression, didn't seem to listen to his words, and said: "Since you like this jade pendant so much, my father will hand it over to you today, and ask your mother to string it with a rope after dinner later, but you have to cherish it, and if it is damaged, then ......" Speaking of this, he stopped, and thought: "Brother Zhang has not come to Jiangxi again in the past eight or nine years, and there is no news, I don't know how he is now?" He took back the jade pendant from his son's hand and put it back in the box, covered the lid of the box, and said: "Hang'er, the three precepts of a gentleman, do you understand them, can you do it?" Li Yihang stood up and said with a smile: "Daddy, the child is not a gentleman, it is really not easy to achieve these three precepts, but I will try my best to obey my father's will." Li Kaishang said: "Who is born a gentleman, and it is not acquired by self-discipline?" The two talked for a while, and Mrs. Li asked them to eat.
After dinner, Li Kaishang's family of three enjoyed the cool in the courtyard, Li Kaishang and his wife discussed, his son has no intention of studying, he should be sent to learn some crafts as soon as possible, and he will have a skill in the future, Mrs. said: "The child is still young, and Mr. Zhang in the private school can't manage him, so let's ask a gentleman to come back and teach him, and I will take care of the children." Li Kaishang said: "We are usually very busy, you have so many accounts, and I often have to work in the fields, so do you have extra time to take care of him?" Li Yihang took his mother's hand and said: "Mother, don't, as long as you don't let me face the books, the child must be sexual, and it's better for me to learn some skills from my father." Li Kaishang shook his head and sighed: "I'd rather work in the fields than study, I really can't help you." ”
After breakfast on this day, Li Kaishang said: "I heard that there is a martial arts hall in Nanchang Mansion, and many young children in and outside the city are practicing boxing and learning art there. Hang'er, are you so idle at home? Don't you always want to practice martial arts, are you afraid of hardship, are you afraid of tired?" Li Yihang said: "Daddy wants me to learn martial arts? That's really no better, this is much more interesting than facing the dizzying scriptures and ancient texts, I just don't know if my mother will give it to me?" Mrs. Li said: "Practicing martial arts is not a joke, although it has the ability to strengthen the muscles and bones to defend oneself, but it is very hard work, ten times more tiring than farming, can you afford this hardship, don't go for three or five days and come back crying!" Li Kaishang glanced at Mrs. Li and said, "Farming is harder than learning martial arts. “
Li Yihang jumped three feet high and cheered: "Mother, this is agreeing to let me go? This is my wish since I was a child, the child will definitely persevere, and never let his father and mother down!" Li Kaishang said: "You have to remember that Daddy is asking you to go to the martial arts hall, not only to learn martial arts, but also to learn the truth of being a person in the world, I once heard a friend on the rivers and lakes say that practicing martial arts can exercise muscles and bones to improve skills at the same time, but also temper and cultivate people's character, so that people can be sensitive to good and evil, good and evil, Loyalty and treachery have a clear judgment and understanding of all things in the world, so that the irritable are rational, the weak are strong, the indecisive are decisive, and the rigid are thoughtful. ”
"Daddy, do you still know any friends who know martial arts on the rivers and lakes?" Li Yihang asked curiously. Mrs. Li said: "Many years ago, there was a friend on the rivers and lakes who lived in our house for a period of time, when he told us about the benefits of practicing martial arts, your father wanted him to take you as an apprentice, that friend said, first, he has important things to do, and second, you are too young, and you will come to accept you as an apprentice in a few years. Li Kaishang coughed twice and said: "How can people say it casually, how can they do it accurately? You still take this matter to heart, I have forgotten it cleanly, we let Hang'er practice martial arts, just want him to be strong, but I didn't think about asking him to walk on the rivers and lakes." Mrs. Li said: "My mind is the same, Hang'er, you go to practice martial arts, but you don't want you to compete with others, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, and make more friends." You know what?"
Li Yihang responded: "Yes, mother, please rest assured, the child will do as you ask." Li Kaishang said: "Pack up your belongings today, and set off to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning, Hang'er, we don't have relatives and friends in Nanchang Mansion, and we have to learn to deal with things ourselves." ”
Li Yihang couldn't hide his excitement and happily agreed.
Before dawn on the second day, the Li family took care of a donkey cart, carrying Li Yihang and Uncle De, and headed straight to Nanchang Mansion.
After walking for more than an hour, the sun had risen in mid-air, Li Yihang felt bored in the car, so he said to the coachman: "Uncle, how about I switch places with you, you sit in the carriage, and I will drive the donkey cart." The coachman said, "Young Master Li, you can't do this rough work, don't let the donkey cart overturn, just take the car honestly." Li Yihang said: "Uncle De, and this uncle, don't call me any young master, just call me by my name." Uncle De smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll call you Xiaohang." ”
Li Yihang begged the coachman several times, but the coachman couldn't stand it, so he had to agree to him, driving the donkey cart was very simple, Li Yihang held the reins and whip in his hand, drove the donkey, and the coachman pointed a few times on the side, he mastered the skill, and couldn't help humming a little song happily. The coachman shook his head, happy to go to the carriage to rest.
There was nothing to do all the way, and when we arrived in Nanchang City, it was already evening, and Uncle De said: "It's dark, let's go to the inn for one night, and then go to the martial arts hall tomorrow morning." Li Yihang has never been to Nanchang City, and saw that although it was night, the lights in the city were dim, and there were still people coming and going on the streets, the shops on both sides were open, and the shouts of the hawkers came and went, which seemed to be more lively than during the day. I thought that the provincial city was really not comparable to the countryside, and it was really a long experience.
Early the next morning, when I asked the location of the martial arts hall, the shopkeeper said, "It's not far from here, go down this street, turn right and you'll be there." Li Yihang and Uncle De came to a majestic mansion according to the words, four tall wooden pillars under the eaves, the bucket arch on the beam is delicate and complicated, the vermilion lacquer door of the mansion, the copper nail the size of the teacup on the door is shining, the plaque on the top of the door reads "Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall" four black lacquer characters, the silver hook is iron-marked, the strength is extraordinary, there are two stone lions squatting by the door, it is very majestic. There was a shout from everyone inside the door.
Uncle De said: "That's it, Xiaohang, you have to listen to the words of the master in the martial arts hall, don't be naughty, your father and mother are not around, everything has to rely on yourself." Li Yihang nodded. Uncle De stepped forward, grabbed the big bronze ring on the door, knocked a few times, and stepped aside. After a while, the door slowly opened, and out came a man in strong costume, only to see his waist straight, showing a heroic spirit
The man asked, "Who are you two looking for, is there anything wrong?"
Uncle De smiled and said, "This big brother, we are here to find Master Ma, please go and tell me." The man said: "Are you looking for Mr. Ma's head teacher? It's a coincidence, his old man went to the prefect's house to drink last night, and he hasn't come back yet, so it is estimated that he will not come back today, so you can come another day." As he spoke, he wanted to close the door.
Uncle De took out a small ingot of silver from his arms, stuffed it into the man's hand, and said with a smile: "We are from the town, I heard that the masters in the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall are all very good at martial arts, and they specially came to learn art. The man checked the silver in his hand and said, "There are a lot of people who have come to our museum to learn art, and now it is full of students, why don't you go to another house to have a look." Uncle De said: "I don't learn it myself, it's just that this little child came to see the demeanor of the big brothers, and it doesn't take up any land and is not in the way." The man glanced at Li Yihang and said, "Okay, I'll go in and report it, you guys are waiting here." Li Yihang thought to himself: "This martial arts hall is really unusual, it is full, it seems that I have to practice hard, otherwise I will teach them to make fun of it." ”
After a while, the man came back and said, "Follow me." "There are two rows of weapon racks at the entrance, divided into eighteen kinds of blades such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, and sticks, and after passing the gate house, there is a large courtyard facing it, and there are fifty or sixty people practicing the routines on the field, and the shouts are loud and majestic, revealing a masculine spirit. The man led the two of them from the corridor on the side, and came to a hall called Zhongyi Hall, Li Yihang saw a plaque hanging on the beam of the hall, which read "Righteousness and Courage" four gilded characters, and the words "Gift from a certain prefect" were written below, and it was expected that Zhenwei Wuguan had done a great thing for the people of Nanchang, so that the government was also amazed, and a gold plaque was sent to encourage him. Pondering: "Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall has such a great reputation in Nanchang Mansion today, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have walked out of this museum, they are chivalrous and happy, how free and easy they are!"
The chair in the center of the hall was empty, and on the lower seat sat a sturdy man in his forties, with broad shoulders and round waist, and his demeanor was very mighty. The man in the power suit who led the two into the hall said: "This is our Wu Jiaotou, and he will sit in the second place in our Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall." Uncle De pulled Li Yihang forward, made a gesture, and said: "Wu Jiaotou is good, this is our boy, since he was a child, he has been shouting to come to Zhenwei to learn art, his father and mother saw that he was still young, and he didn't agree, until he just turned fourteen years old this year, and he was noisy again, so he had to come to apprentice." ”
Wu Jiaotou put down the teacup, hummed, and said: "I think this kid has strange muscles and bones, and his aura is compelling, and he is a good material for learning martial arts, the sooner it is developed, the better." However, you are late, our current batch of students is full, and there are still many people outside the hall waiting for the next class. Uncle De said: "Sect Leader Wu, you can also speak in this hall, please think of a way, be accommodating, and the matter of tuition fees is easy to discuss." Wu Jiaotou waved his hand and said: "We opened the hall to teach apprentices, the main purpose is to maintain social peace and righteousness, and the second is to exercise the spiritual will of the students, charging this tuition, just to maintain the normal expenses of the martial arts hall, we are by no means making a living from this, don't be mistaken." ”
Uncle De said: "That's, that's, Hang'er, don't kneel down and kowtow, Sect Leader Wu has made an exception to recruit you as a disciple." Wu Jiaotou said: "Don't be busy kowtowing first, because there are too many people who come to study, all new students must participate in a six-month basic training in martial arts. Li Yihang thought to himself: "What you said is not very reliable, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, it is best not to kowtow, I will know how your kung fu is after six months, if the level is not good, I am not willing to worship you as a teacher." Wu Jiaotou took out a piece of paper full of cursive characters from the sleeve of his left hand and handed it to Uncle De, Li Yihang stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck and looked, it turned out to be a fee list, Uncle De saw it in his eyes, hesitated slightly, and said: "The total amount of room and board tuition in six months is twenty taels of silver, if you participate in the improvement class and the elite class outside the class, you need to charge separately, which ...... This is ......" Wu Jiaotou said: "What, does it feel high? This is just the operating cost of our martial arts hall, not counting the salary of our martial artists, in other words, we are all working in vain to teach new students, and these six months of basic training are to select outstanding students, and our museum will teach and focus on cultivation." Coming out of the gate of our Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, all of them are elites, all of them are talents, the big and small officials in Jiangxi Province, the Qianzhuang Dart Bureau, and the provincial capitals and nobles are powerful, who is not rushing to get one or two......"
Looking at Wu Jiaotou's flying and gushing appearance, Li Yihang suddenly felt that the muscles of his cheeks and tongue were more developed than the muscles on his arms and calves. Uncle De echoed vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion has such a reputation, and it all depends on Sect Leader Wu's unreserved dedication to teaching." Wu Jiaotou said proudly: "The disciple who went out from us, which one is not grateful to us?" Uncle De took out a few ingots of silver from his arms to make up twenty taels and put them on the table, when it was the tuition fee, Wu Jiaotou waved his hand, and someone came to take it away, he said to Li Yihang: "What is your boy's name?" Li Yihang said, and he said: "Since you come here to study, you must listen to the instructions of the teacher and abide by the rules of the museum." Li Yihang nodded.
Wu Jiaotou said to the steward behind him: "Arrange a bed for this little brother, settle down and take him to Huang Zheng Huang Jiaotou." He said to Li Yihang: "Huang Jiaotou is notoriously strict here, you have to suffer some hardships." Li Yihang said: "If I'm afraid of hardship and tiredness, I won't come." ”
The two followed the steward to a large room in the backyard, only to see that the house was a large bunk, and more than 20 mats were laid side by side, Uncle De covered the mat and bedding for him in the empty bed, put the items, and said in a low voice: "Young master, you have lived a much more comfortable life, this situation is your own choice, you must survive these six months, don't show your father and mother." Li Yihang said: "Don't worry, Uncle De, as long as you don't go to the school, there is nothing that can be difficult for me." Uncle De said: "I'm afraid that you are too young and will be bullied and beaten, you have no relatives and no reason here, but no one stands up for you, everything needs to be careful." Li Yihang said: "Don't say that this place is so terrifying, isn't it unreasonable to be in the provincial capital?" Uncle De lowered his voice again: "I see that the people who study martial arts here, all of them have evil expressions, but they are not good people, they are like classmates in your private mat in the school, and they are all weak scholars. Here is only one sentence: The eldest husband can stretch and bend more!" He took out five taels of silver from his bosom and said: "Your father's estimation is wrong, and now there are only these broken silvers left, but fortunately, you don't have to worry about food and housing, and you can save some money." Uncle De will come to visit you every month. ”
Sent away Uncle De, Li Yihang followed the steward to the martial arts training ground, at this time everyone had dispersed to practice, the head of the Huang sect was a capable man, his face was thin, he did not smile, listened to the steward said a few words, looked at him a few times, and his face was expressionless. Li Yihang thought to himself: "Oops, this Huang Sect Leader is more difficult to trade than that Wu Sect Leader, it seems that people with real skills have strange tempers, but they have to be careful what they say and act." ”
Unexpectedly, Huang Jiaotou beckoned to him, Li Yihang walked up a few steps, bowed respectfully and shouted: "Disciple Li Yihang, meet Master Huang!" Huang Zheng nodded and said: "When you come to our martial arts hall, you must have the consciousness of enduring hardships, if you can't bear it, pack up the quilt and roll back for me as soon as possible." Li Yihang said: "Yes!" Huang Jiaotou said: "If you want to practice kung fu well, the basic skills must be solid enough, don't think about what moves and routines to practice at the beginning, and honestly lay a foundation for me." He turned his head to a young man who was about nineteen or twenty years old and was practicing leg playing: "Kun Zheng, you will take this new green head, don't make any mistakes." The young man ran over and answered, "Yes, Master Huang, please rest assured, just leave it to me." Huang Zheng snorted, turned around and went back into the lobby.
The young man said: "My name is Liu Kunzheng, what is your name?" Li Yihang said: "My name is Li Yihang, the leisurely and leisurely, the long-whale swallowing the voyage." Liu Kunzheng said: "Look at you, you don't look like a scholar, don't show me here, you remember for me, it's easy to be beaten up if you talk like this here." Li Yihang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, thank you Senior Brother Kun Zheng for your advice, fortunately you didn't beat me." Liu Kunzheng said: "Although I won't beat you, you will hate me very much, because I will make you suffer a lot." Come on, press the leg first, this is the basic of the basics, just practice this on the first day. He stepped forward and stretched out his right foot to kick the inside of his calf left and right, and Li Yihang's legs were separated.
Liu Kunzheng said: "Split your legs!" Li Yihang spread his legs as far as possible, his body could no longer stand upright, his upper body leaned forward, and his hands touched the ground. Liu Kunzheng said: "No, no, no, open a little more." Li Yihang showed a painful expression and said: "It's the maximum, and it's going to explode again!" Liu Kunzheng said: "Yes? I don't believe it, let's take a look." The instep of his foot hooked at the ankle of his right leg, reached out and pressed him on the shoulder, Li Yihang's long cry of "ah", it can be regarded as tragic, but the people around him didn't even look over here, this scene is too common, and everyone who comes in to practice martial arts has gone through this stage.
Liu Kunzheng said: "Your kid's scream is too exaggerated, and no one is as loud as you." Li Yihang snorted a few times, and said bitterly: "Senior brother, you hooked me unexpectedly, and the strength in your hand is heavy, so this is ...... Just...... Ouch, senior brother, press lightly with your hand!" Stretched out his foot and pressed Li Yihang's thigh, and said, "Hold back." Li Yihang couldn't help but let out a dull sound in his mouth, but he didn't shout again.
Liu Kunzheng said: "Master Huang said: 'Any martial artist should start from the basic skills, and really lay a good foundation before he can be regarded as stepping into the door of martial arts', this kung fu is not a day or two can be practiced, many martial arts practitioners are obsessed with the tricks of the tricks, blindly pursue and imitate, and finally vulnerable. It is because they ignore an important part of the kung fu training process, basic skill training. Li Yihang slowly got used to the tearing pain, and asked in a low voice: "How long does it take to practice such basic skills?"
"There is no end to the practice of basic skills, as long as you follow this path, you have to repeat it all your life. Liu Kunzheng circled around him, straightened his body, and pressed down hard. Li Yihang gasped and said, "I'm asking...... Ask when you have practiced the basic skills...... Can you teach the moves you made just now?" "What I just practiced is called elastic legs, which is also a basic skill, don't worry, the foundation is laid, and I will pass it on to you." Okay, you just don't move, grit your teeth and hold on for half an hour. ”
At that time, it was early spring, the ice and snow melted, and the temperature had not yet warmed up, but Li Yihang was already oozing sweat beads on his back, and his face was facing the east, and the sun was shining on him, dazzling and flowering, and he wanted to turn around, but his legs were very weak and sore, and he had the strength to move his legs? I don't know how long it took, but finally my legs were no longer weak, and my confused body fell to the ground limply. Li Yihang woke up in shock, opened his eyes, and immediately stood up and pressed down again.
At some point, Liu Kunzheng walked behind him and said, "Boy, I see that you are lazy." Li Yihang hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I ......" "Don't be silent, I'll let you rest after practicing for a while." Li Yihang thought to himself: "Fortunately, Senior Brother Kun Zheng is not a very unreasonable person, and he fell down knowing that I couldn't hold on." ”
In this way, Li Yihang started to practice splitting legs, practiced splitting horizontal forks, followed by strong forks, positive leg presses, and side leg presses, at the end of the day, Li Yihang felt that his legs were not his own, and the pain at the root of his lower limbs was unbearable. Liu Kunzheng said: "Okay, let's go to dinner and go to bed early at night." Li Yihang sat on the ground and said, "I can't walk, senior brother, you go to eat first, and I'll come later." Liu Kunzheng said: "You have to hurry, it's late to finish work in the kitchen, and you're going to be hungry." Li Yihang's underwear was already soaked with sweat, the twilight wind blew, and he faintly felt a little chill, but he was really unable to move, and sat for a long time, the surrounding scenery gradually blurred, and there were more people on the martial arts training ground. He slowly struggled to get up, relying on the memory of noon, he came to the kitchen in the dark step by step, but saw that the door was closed, Li Yihang secretly shouted: "Kuye!" walked forward, knocked on the door and shouted: "Open the door, open the door!" But when he saw that the door was locked from the outside, and it was pitch black inside, he was stunned for a moment, and a glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.
Li Yihang had no choice but to drag his tired body back to his residence, there were already many people in the room, and he saw that these people were all older than him and very tall. The room was dark and damp, mixed with the filthy smell of sweaty athlete's foot, and I couldn't help frowning, silently walked to the innermost bed, took a set of clean clothes and took a bath in the bathhouse. The bathhouse does not provide hot water, he shivered with cold water, and said in his heart: "It is good to be at home for a thousand days, it is difficult to leave home, and when I came out, I realized that it was so hard, I used to be comfortable at home, and now I should also suffer some hardships." Thinking again: "Since you have embarked on this road, it is impossible to endure less hardship, only to face difficulties!" Thinking of Professor Zhang's famous sentence, he read it out loud: "Heaven descends on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and ......" Reading and reading, he really felt that his spirit was greatly lifted, his body was not so tired, his legs seemed to be full of strength, and even the ice water poured on his body was hot.
When he returned to the room, it was already early in the morning, Li Yihang was so hungry that his stomach growled, and he suddenly remembered that Uncle De didn't give me money when he left, but he didn't know if he could go out to the street now? He saw that some beds were still empty, and he thought that the owner was going to the street to play, and thought: "I'll go outside to find something to eat, Nanchang City is so lively, there must be vendors selling snacks outside." He took the money out of his gift bag, took out small pieces of silver, and put the rest back. As soon as he stood up, suddenly his eyes darkened, and several people surrounded him, Li Yihang raised his head, it turned out to be a few teenagers in the same room, and he saw that they all looked bad, so he said: "Hello senior brothers, is there anything wrong?" One said: "You still want to go there so late?" Li Yihang said: "I missed the meal time, and I want to go out to buy some food, but I don't know that the door of the martial arts hall is still open?"
