In the barracks and school grounds, Cheng Kun's subordinates formed a circle, gathering together and not knowing what they were watching.

The battle outside the Blood Gate Pass a month ago caused a lot of casualties among the Jinyang soldiers under Cheng Kun, but after he returned safely from Broken Dragon Mountain, the military camp replenished his soldiers, so he still has more than 100 people under his command.

Standing in the middle of the crowd was Hong Chao, shirtless, standing in a lunge with his legs, holding a spear made of ash pole in his right hand, his eyes focused on the small area of the tip of the spear, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, even the sweat left on his forehead like a stream of sweat did not bother to wipe it.

At this time, it has entered the winter, and Youzhou is in the northernmost part of the Chu country, the climate is known for its bitter cold, there have been two snows in a row a few days ago, and the current temperature has steadily dropped below zero.

But it was such a cold weather, Hong Chao's upper body **, and he stood in a daze and sweated profusely. The heat from his body melted the remaining snow on the ground around him into a puddle of muddy snow.

Cheng Kun stood next to Hong Chao, his eyes staring at every subtle movement of his body, and once he saw that there was a place that did not meet his requirements, he immediately kicked over.

Hong Chao is standing on a big gun pile, Cheng Kun has simply been idle these days, it seems that there will be no more war before the end of this year, so he decided to train his soldiers well.

Among these people, Hong Chao is the one he is most optimistic about.

This guy has a simple mind, and his family has been poor since he was a child, and the hardships of life after his father's death made him fade from his childishness early, although his face is still a little young, but his psychology has matured.

What's even more rare is that these hardships have not worn away the blood in Hong Chao's heart, which is what Cheng Kun values him most. If a person who practices martial arts does not have this bloodiness, then no matter how high his martial arts training is, he is not a strong person.

And Hong Chao has been practicing diligently since he learned the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Jar from Cheng Kun, and now he has begun to bear fruit, with solid muscles and bones, and his arms have five or six hundred catties of strength, and he can already be regarded as the first master under Cheng Kun.

Cheng Kun was also ready to teach him some new things in a timely manner, the first of which was this big gun pile.

Spear art is a skill that must be mastered by martial artists who practice national arts, and the best way to practice guns and take root is to stand on a big gun pile.

The big gun pile was originally a good method created by the predecessors of Taijiquan, and then gradually spread to be used by other sects.

This method seems simple, but in fact, it is far from easy to stand in place. Just looking at Hong Chao's trembling body and his face flushed, he knew that he was not feeling well at this time.

Although the strength of Hong Chao's arms is not small, he has a flat end of the gun, but his hands are only placed at the end of the gun two or three inches at the end of the gun, and the center of gravity is outside the body, so he can't use his strength at all. At first, it was fine, but the longer he stood there, the more he felt that his arm was sore.

Cheng Kun did not allow the head of the gun to shake, and the body of the gun must be parallel to the ground, once Hong Chao couldn't bear the strength to let the head of the gun hang down, the body would immediately be firmly kicked.

It's strange to say, if someone else kicks like this, Hong Chao is afraid that he will be bitten by a mosquito, and it is hard to say whether he will feel pain. He has practiced the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Jar for so long, and his ability to resist blows has been trained.

But when Cheng Kun came like this, he felt that the place where he was kicked was like being pierced by a red-hot iron needle.

Regardless of the pain, the key is that it will be accompanied by an extremely uncomfortable itch, needless to say.

Cheng Kun didn't use his true qi either, he just used a little dark energy when he kicked out. Hong Chao was certainly in great pain, but his stiff muscles were also stimulated by the dark energy and moved.

The big gun pile is the same as other pile methods in the national arts, and the most taboo is rigidity.

After Cheng Kun finished kicking, he would shout and curse in his mouth: "Stupid, it's really stupid." Don't stand on a lump of iron, focus your mind and try to get your little muscles moving. The hand should be flat, the step should be steady, the gun should be right, and the strength should be smooth. When you can stand for more than half an hour in one breath without blushing or panting, you will be considered a beginner. ”

When everyone next to them heard this, they all gasped.

Although they couldn't see the hidden mystery of this big gun pile, they could understand just by looking at Hong Chao's miserable appearance that this kung fu was by no means as easy to practice as it seemed.

Hong Chao, the big man, only stood for a quarter of an hour today and became like this, if it took longer, he wouldn't lose half his life. One by one, they all muttered in their hearts, and the tun chief was inevitably too demanding.

However, they also knew in their hearts that Tun Chang was cultivating Hong Chao. Don't look at their own smacking tongues, if Cheng Kun is willing to teach, these guys will definitely break their scalps.

Hong Chao is even more so, his temperament is a little tendoned, and he has made up his mind that no matter how badly he is tossed today, he must meet Cheng Kun's requirements.

Although Cheng Kun seems to be harsh, he actually grasps the limits of Hong Chao's body very accurately. After another quarter of an hour, he asked Hong Chao to rest for a while.

Hong Chao heard that he had been pardoned, and as soon as he put the spear down, the whole person immediately collapsed to the ground, regardless of the fact that his clothes were soaked in cold snow, he only felt that the tendons on his hands and feet were twitching and kinking, and he couldn't move if he wanted to.

Seeing this, Cheng Kun walked over, easily lifted Hong Chao from the ground with one hand, and slapped his other hand back and forth on him for a while.

Hong Chao's body was like being electrified, crispy and numb, and after Cheng Kun finished patting, he felt that his hands and feet were back, although they were still a little soft, but they were a hundred times stronger than just now.

Cheng Kun is a dark and soft attack, opening up the tendons and blood veins for Hong Chaohua, don't look at him just patting so many times lightly, in fact, the mental energy consumed is about the same as that of a normal person running a marathon.

And after such an experience, Hong Chao can be regarded as understanding a little bit of the beauty of the big gun pile.

As Cheng Kun said, if you want to stand for a long time, you can't use your dead strength, although there are many muscles in the human body, but there are only a few areas that are commonly used, and the small muscles in other places cannot be exercised at all.

If you stand for a long time, these small muscles in your body will also be exercised to become stronger, not to mention the increase in strength, and you will not grow an ugly tendon meat, which will affect your agility.

What's more, this pile method can also help him straighten out the strength of his body and realize yin and yang. Only when he understands the wonder of yin and yang movement will the big gun "come to life", and when Hong Chao practices to the unity of man and gun, forming a big yin and yang, the big gun pile can stand however he wants.

Cheng Kun did not say these benefits explicitly, this is also a test for Hong Chao, if he can't endure hardship, he will naturally not see the benefits behind.

Fortunately, Hong Chao was not frightened by this pain, for him, as long as he can practice martial arts and avenge his father, what is this hard work.

After resting for a while, Hong Chao took the initiative to pick up the big gun and stood up again.

Cheng Kun watched the small muscles on his body begin to beat slightly, and the center of gravity under his feet kept shifting, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, Hong Chao's understanding was quite satisfactory to him.

After Hong Chao's pile method was on the right track, Cheng Kun trained others, these guys have good and bad qualifications, and he didn't have so much time for everyone to carefully adjust hand in hand, so he taught them a set of fist and foot kung fu.

There is nothing unusual about the boxing method, it is the capture boxing that was widely spread in the army in later generations.

At the beginning of the establishment of this boxing method, it also integrated a lot of moves from various schools, although it cut off the most exquisite pile skills in the national arts, but it was very useful to use against the enemy, and it was easy to get started.

These people under Cheng Kun's hands are also very energetic in learning, and after memorizing the routine, they ran to the side and practiced with great interest.

For a while, the corners of the school field resounded one roar after another: "Gear punching, twisting arms and legs, kicking the crotch with the fork palm, and smashing the ......" was a tiger and a tiger, attracting the curious eyes of others in the school field.

............

This scene of Cheng Kun training his subordinates was also seen by others, and they happened to be the group of strangers Peng Rou met before.

Their origins are not simple, more than 20 people are all the henchmen of the second prince Xiang Hong.

The Dingshan Army in the Blood Gate Pass made a lot of meritorious service this time, and Xiang Liang intended to commend it. Xiang Hong asked his father for this errand of the decree, and sent a group of henchmen, ostensibly to run an errand, but in fact to test the position of the Dingshan army in the dispute between the princes.

Xiang Hong didn't force the Dingshan army to support him, but he at least had to make sure that this force would not stand on the side of the boss. If that happens, it's a little scary for him.

The white-skinned middle-aged man surnamed Dai Feizhang is a loose person with no sect in the imperial capital, and his cultivation has been cultivated to the perfection of the pulse, and he even has some eyebrows in the entrance. Such a master naturally has the qualifications to be cited by Xiang Hong as a confidant.

And the others who came with Dai Feizhang were the people of the Tiger Ben Army, one of the two great guards of the imperial capital, they were all from families, but they were not from the main family. The guy who looked at Peng Rou with obscene eyes before was a branch disciple of the Chen family who came out of five suits.

Since the contemporary Emperor Chu found such a peerless talent as Tiangehou Peng Yuan from Yulin Wei before he ascended the throne, other princes have followed suit and become close to the people of the Tiger Ben and Yulin armies early.

And when those families saw this scene, they also sent their own branch disciples or descendants into these two armies, looking forward to which prince they could form a good relationship with.

Although these sons of the family who were sent to the army did not have a high status in the family, the arrogance that the sons of the family should have was not less at all. One by one, their eyes are above the top, especially now that Xiang Hong has the posture of entering the East Palace, which makes them even more arrogant.

Even though I knew in my heart that it was not easy for the Dingshan Army to guard the border pass for so many years, on the surface, he put on the appearance of the eldest and my second.

After they came to the barracks, they were not in a hurry to announce the decree, but wandered around to find out the truth, fortunately they greeted Ren Rong in advance, otherwise they would have to be arrested as spies.

However, there is an extra "alternative" in this group of people, Chen Jiazi was defeated because of Peng Rou's eye arrow before, and he is much more honest than his companions. However, the other tiger guards didn't realize that Peng Rou was terrible, and just laughed at him for being too timid, and he was scared like this by the eyes of a beautiful woman.

Chen Jiazi's anger rose at their ridicule, and he didn't explain anything, hoping that these guys would also be ruthless. He can see it now, this Dingshan army is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and it is better to be low-key.

Xiahou Yu, a concubine of the Xiahou family, was a little interested when he saw Cheng Kun's men practicing their fists and feet, and he smiled at his companions and said, "How do you see how those people practice, can they compare to our brothers of Hu Benwei?"

The companions all laughed: "It's just a fist and embroidered legs, if you can kill the Huns with this ability, it can only mean that those Hun cubs are too weak, if you change to our brothers to guard the border, I'm afraid that within three years, you will be able to fight for the credit of a wife and a son." ”

Listening to the meaning of his words, guarding the border passes is not only not hard and dangerous, but a good errand to earn credit.

"It's extreme, it's extreme, isn't that the truth? It's a pity that you and my brother can only practice this ability in the imperial capital, and it is rare to show it. Everyone echoed the voice.

Dai Feizhang, who was the leader, listened to these kids' tone so rampantly, and his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

Although he has the highest martial arts in this line, he has not accumulated prestige because of his humble background. He was also happy to see these boys receive some lessons, anyway, with him watching from the sidelines, there would be no big trouble.

That Xiahou Yu said again: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to do an errand now, it's better for you and my brother to make a bet, let's go out and practice with that tun chief, bet that he can hold up a few tricks under my hands, and the people who lose the bet will get together and invite the big guy to have a good meal." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, good idea.

Someone said: "Xiahou Yu, since you proposed, why don't you go up and practice with that guy yourself, no matter who wins or loses at that time, you don't have to pay for dinner." ”

Xiahou Yu scolded with a smile: "It takes so much effort for the master to eat a meal, no matter who let me say this, you must remember to place a bet in advance, don't want my side to win, you are still arguing here." ”

"Go, go, you don't have to worry about these things, you don't want to capsize in the gutter yourself. ”

Xiahou Yu looked disdainful and walked towards Cheng Kun.

Although he is conceited, he is not a brainless person, and the reason why he is so confident is only because Cheng Kun looks a little tenderer. Just looking at his face, he really doesn't have the majesty of a master, making him mistakenly think that this guy is just a small character in the Joyama Army.

Although he is only the son of the Xiahou family, the nine-fold "Qianyu Yun Thunder Jue" in the family has also been practiced to the fifth level, opening up the six meridians, and it is more than enough to clean up such an inconspicuous tun chief.

He walked to the position five meters in front of Cheng Kun very confidently, raised his hand and said: "This brother, I saw that you just demonstrated the boxing technique to practice your subordinates, and I was happy to see the hunting heart, and I want to compete with my brother, and meet friends with martial arts, I wonder if Brother Tai can agree to my rash request?"

Cheng Kun looked at him, his expression seemed to be smiling, but he agreed very simply: "This is very good, I am worried that I can't find a good opponent during this time, and my hands are itching." ”
