After laughing, Kong Bohua groaned slightly, and said: "It's okay to call me old man, I know that you still have a master, and you are not interested in medical skills, how you and I were called before, and it will be the same in the future, the relationship between master and apprentice does not lie in the details of the tongue." Cheng Kun was grateful and did not refuse.

In this way, by chance, Cheng Kun worshipped another master.

After apprenticeship, the relationship between the two was much closer than before, and the old gentleman also introduced his origin to Cheng Kun.

Only then did Cheng Kun know that the old gentleman's surname was Kong and his name was Bohua, and now he was in old age. He is not the owner of this Jishitang, but just a doctor sitting in the hall. The real owner's surname is Zhao Wenyuan, and he is Youran's grandfather. After he came to this small border city with Youran, he plunged headlong into the depths of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range, trying to find a rare medicinal herb that was usually difficult to see him.

Cheng Kun was a little surprised, he was clear about the danger of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range, this is a huge mountain range that runs through the east and west, stretching for thousands of miles, Broken Dragon Mountain is only the main peak of this mountain range, and it is also the highest peak, because it is towering into the clouds, the top of the mountain is shrouded in white clouds all the year round, and from below, it seems to be cut off by the sky, so it is named.

The depths of the Broken Dragon Mountain Range have always been inaccessible, and no one knows how many dangers are hidden in them. The quiet grandfather actually stayed in it all the year round in order to collect medicine, which shows that this is also a strange person.

When Cheng Kun asked why Zhao Wenyuan had to pick that medicinal herb, Kong Bohua sighed, and the look on Xiao Youran's face also dimmed.

"You don't know, this child is congenitally deficient, and she is deficient in qi and blood, and after she was born, the doctor judged that she would not live to be ten years old. Fortunately, his grandfather's medical skills are superb, coupled with his superb martial arts and profound cultivation, he recuperates her body every once in a while, and she has grown up safely to this day. But this is only a symptom but not a cure, my proprietor has flipped through countless medical books and classics, and found that there may be blood orchids growing in the depths of Broken Dragon Mountain, which has a miraculous effect on the symptoms of seclusion, so I came here. ”

This answer was really unexpected by Cheng Kun.

Cheng Kun didn't expect that Youran was terminally ill at such a young age, no wonder the last time he saw her, he found that her skin was fair. He thought that this was a manifestation of the natural beauty of Youran, but he never thought that it was a relationship of lack of qi and blood.

Facing the threat of death prematurely at a young age, and wandering the world with his grandfather, it's no wonder that she rarely sees the liveliness of a girl in Youran, only a calm indifference that seems to see through everything.

Cheng Kun looked at the little girl sitting quietly on the side, his heart ached slightly, and a sense of pity arose.

"That quiet grandfather has been looking for so long, has he found the blood orchid?"

"I don't know this, the owner only goes down the mountain once every month, to recuperate for Youran, and then returns to the mountain non-stop, and he doesn't tell me how the old guy is going. ”

Cheng Kun was silent, although Mr. Kong did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was already obvious, and it was obvious that there was little hope of finding Xuelan. Moreover, who can be sure that there must be a blood orchid in the Broken Dragon Mountain?

At this time, he had completely understood why the old gentleman suddenly decided to take him as an apprentice, although the lack of manpower in the medical hall was one thing, but the most important thing was to find a playmate for Xiao Youran.

Because of her weak body, she should not move much, and she can't play outside like other children of the same age, so she can only stay in the hospital all day.

His grandfather did not see anyone in the mountains all the year round, and Uncle Kong, the only companion he had, was busy treating patients every day. Youran can only stay alone in the house most of the time, accompanied by boring medical books, and I don't know how she survived this loneliness.

Kong Bohua rarely saw Cheng Kun, a child who was about the same age as Youran and knew some medical skills, so he couldn't help but be moved, and decided to take him as an apprentice, so that he could have the opportunity to come to the medical hall a few more times to accompany Youran. The happiness that other normal children can get is far away for her.

Of course, Cheng Kun would not refuse, he walked in front of Youran: "I haven't spoken to you since the last time I saw you." My name is Cheng Kun, I live in Chengjia Village in Xinfeng County, and my father is a hunter. What about you?"

The little girl looked at Cheng Kun and introduced herself: "My name is Zhao Youran, Jishitang is my home now, as for grandpa, he won't let me tell others his origin." ”

Cheng Kun touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and became more and more sure that the quiet grandfather was definitely not a very person, otherwise he would not have specially asked his granddaughter to hide his origin.

Although Xiao Youran is much more mature than his peers, he is still too tender compared to Cheng Kun, a "monster" who has been a human being in two lives. It didn't take long for her to let down her guard against Cheng Kun, who she had only seen twice in total, and happily accepted such a rare friend and led him to her room.

Perhaps, deep down, she has long longed for such a playmate.

The quiet room was not large, except for a small bed, what remained was a large bookcase, which was full of various medical books, as well as the medical notes of his grandfather and Uncle Kong, and several potted plants were placed by the window, adding a touch of green and life to the room.

Cheng Kun didn't know any of these plants, but he could also see that they were basically medicinal herbs.

There was a rare strange visitor in his room, and there was some excitement on his face. She took Cheng Kun's hand and introduced to him what books she had read in the bookcase, what were the names of the plants by the window, and how she carefully cultivated these delicate little things to life.

At this time, Yu Ran was much more lively than before, and he didn't stop talking. And Cheng Kun also played a good role as a "listener", responding with two words of praise from time to time. You only felt that she had said everything she hadn't said since she was a child, and she couldn't say it in her heart.

Usually she rarely has the opportunity to say so much, but two blushes appeared on her face, her panting was a little short, and beads of sweat were oozing from her sideburns.

Cheng Kun saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, he didn't expect Youran's body to be so weak, but he was just a little anxious to speak, and he was tired like this.

He didn't understand much what Mr. Kong said, but after observing it for a while, he also came to his own judgment.

In his opinion, it is clear that there is a problem with the immune system, coupled with insufficient bone marrow hematopoiesis, resulting in physical weakness. It doesn't seem to be a serious illness, but it's actually more troublesome, because it's not a lesion in any part of the body, but a direct root problem, and I don't know where to start if you want to solve it.

Therefore, even if the medical skills are as superb as Mr. Kong and Youran's grandfather, they are helpless against Youran's illness, so they can only try all kinds of ways to replenish her vitality. But this is only an itch in the boot, and it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

Cheng Kun is not a doctor, and he can't think of any good way. It's just that although he can't replenish his vitality like Youran's grandfather, he can find a way to enhance Youran's physique.

There are so many kinds of national arts in later generations, but whether it is an inner or outer family, in the final analysis, it is to let the practitioner strengthen his body. This point, Xingyi boxing master Guo Yunshen said very clearly in the book "Can Say Xingyi Quan Sutra", Xingyi Quan has three steps of kung fu: easy bones, easy tendons, and easy marrow. In fact, it is not only Xingyi boxing, but also other boxing methods.

He is going to teach Youran a set of boxing techniques, through a way similar to Hua Tuo's five bird plays, through daily practice, little by little subtly enhance Youran's physique, Baji boxing is too strong, not suitable for Youran, but there is a crane-shaped boxing that is very suitable for her.

Crane boxing is a type of Shaolin five-form boxing, and this set of boxing techniques is also known as five-form and eight-method boxing. Its content includes: dragon, tiger, leopard, crane, snake five types of fists, including dragon shape training god, tiger shape refining bones, leopard shape training, snake shape training qi, crane shape refining refinement.

This set of boxing techniques is steady and gentle, concentrating and concentrating, which is beneficial to improving the function of various organ systems in the body.

"Brother Cheng Kun, Brother Cheng Kun ......"

The voice in his ears, Cheng Kun woke up from his contemplation. He was momentarily fascinated and called out to him several times before waking him up.

"Brother Cheng Kun, isn't Youran too noisy, Youran is usually not like this, I don't know why I said so many things at once today. The little girl looked a little aggrieved, the fingers of her two hands kept stirring the corners, she finally had a friend, and she was afraid that Cheng Kun would hate her.

"How could it be, just now I was wondering if there was any way to help Youran train her body better. Youran, is it good for my brother to teach you a set of boxing techniques, and after practicing this set of boxing techniques, you may be able to go out and play like other children. ”

Zhao Youran's eyes showed a longing light, but it quickly dimmed: "Thank you, Brother Cheng Kun, but it's useless." In the past, my grandfather also wanted to teach Youran to cultivate the inner strength and mental method, but my body was not enough blood and qi, and I couldn't even complete the first step of building a foundation. ”

Cheng Kun was not surprised by this, Tang Zhong also told him about the cultivation of the inner family exercises. Although the inner family exercises are as demanding on the body as the outer ones, they must at least have enough blood and energy. At the beginning of the foundation building, men should refine and refine qi, and women should refine blood and qi, which is also known as "capturing the white tiger" and "cutting the red dragon". Only when the essence and blood are vigorous can it be transformed into the first wisp of true qi through the mental method.

Zhao Youran is like a candle flame in the wind at this time, it is very difficult to maintain the burning, and if he takes out a few more firewoods, I am afraid that he will die immediately.

Cheng Kun shook his head with a smile and said to Youran: "The boxing technique I taught you is different, it can't help you practice true qi, but it can strengthen your body." ”

Zhao Youran was a little skeptical, but she didn't want to refuse Cheng Kun's kindness, and if she could, the temptation to be able to play like other children was too great for her.

After Cheng Kun saw that Youran agreed, he personally performed the crane boxing. For a while, he seemed to have really turned into a crane, with no one around him, raising his neck, spreading his wings, and lifting his claws...... It has both form and spirit, and is vivid.

Cheng Kun's hands are in the shape of "crane pecking", and the muscles on both sides of his back are bulging, like the wings of a crane, fanning, and between the rotation of his legs, there seems to be no shadow.

This is one of the most distinctive forces of the crane boxing, the famous southern boxing master Huang Feihong in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is good at the tiger and crane double shape boxing and the shadowless foot method, the body is fast, it is amazing, it is used in this style of "white crane bright wings". Cheng Kun was injured at this time, otherwise he would have been faster.

Zhao Youran on the side looked a little stunned, she couldn't see the murderous intention hidden under Cheng Kun's beautiful movements, but she felt that this set of boxing techniques was too beautiful like other children, and she suddenly became interested.

Well, even if it's not as good as Brother Cheng Kun said, you have to learn it yourself.

In Zhao Youran's heart, she already regarded this as a dance.
