Time flies quickly, Ming Xuan wiped the sweat on his face, squinted at the sun that had risen to the top of his head, it seemed that it was noon, Ming Xuan closed his momentum and stopped practicing boxing, in fact, he didn't even have the strength to swing another punch, it was finally completed, although he had already followed his grandfather's requirements, he could insist on finishing the fight all morning, but he could still only barely complete it, and there was no extra strength on his body, grandpa's requirement was to breathe smoothly after practicing the boxing method in the morning, and the body not only could not be tired at all, but also full of strength, and only in this situation could it be regarded as meeting the requirements, Ming Xuan smiled bitterly, I have been practicing for two years before I reached my current situation, how long will it take to complete my grandfather's requirements, Ming Xuan can't think about it, what he needs to do in front of him is to push this tired body, burrow into this pool, enjoy it, quickly recover some strength, he still has to go back to the house to cook, since his grandfather taught him to cook when he was 8 years old, he has always been in charge of the family at home, I remember when he first started cooking, grandpa's two almost wrinkled brows together, Ming Xuan wanted to laugh, but what was even worse was himself, grandpa ate a little and didn't eat, the rest was pinched by his nose and poured down, tears and snot kept falling, unbearable to look backBut now his cooking skills are still good, at least grandpa didn't frown anymore, thinking of this Ming Xuan couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

Soon a delicious meal was ready, Ming Xuan originally wanted to tell his grandfather about selling medicine this morning, but he found that his grandfather seemed to be absent-minded when he was eating, and swallowed back the words in his mouth, in fact, he also knew that his grandfather didn't care about this matter. In fact, he had never seen his grandfather care about anything, except for supervising him every day, he was in a daze in the water stream, and he never saw his grandfather go out.

"Mingxuan ......".

"Hmm"

"I won't go to collect medicine in the afternoon, I have something to tell you"

"Good". Ming Xuan didn't have the slightest objection to his grandfather's decision, but a wave of doubts rose in his heart, he thought about it in his heart, and was shocked: "It's bad, it must be late to come back in the morning, and I have to practice more in the afternoon", thinking of this, Ming Xuan was stupid, he didn't even have his usual good appetite, he barely finished the meal, and followed his grandfather to the falling water stream with a bitter face.

"Any idea what I'm going to say to you?". Grandpa sighed.

"I know, because it's late to sell medicine today, grandpa, I know it's wrong, so I'm going to practice ......." After speaking, he was about to go to the side to practice boxing, he knew that his grandfather hated verbosity the most, and he was even more disgusted with him making excuses.

"Huh?" Grandpa couldn't help but laugh in his heart, feeling that he was really too strict in the past.

"Come back, I won't practice today, didn't I say it, do I have something to tell you?"

"Oh". Ming Xuan was overjoyed, and ran over with a fart, as long as he was not allowed to practice boxing, there would be nothing more painful for him.

"Do you want to know the outside world?" Grandpa looked at Ming Xuan.

"The outside world, do you mean the town, I know, I just came back from the town today, and there are a lot of places to sell good food and fun" Ming Xuan was very excited when he talked about this.

"I'm not talking about this, it's a bigger world!" Grandpa interrupted him impatiently.

"Oh, I want to know!" The child is always full of curiosity about things, not to mention that his grandfather never tells him about it. It's like telling a story, so how can you not want to know.

"Outside, it's a big, big world outside" Grandpa looked up at the clear blue sky, his eyes were deep, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"You know, the place we are in is called Huoyun Mountain, and Huoyun Mountain is just a very small place located in the southernmost part of Zhongzhou,"

"Zhongzhou?" Mingxuan's vision has always been limited to the vicinity of Huoyun Mountain, where can he know so much, even if the storyteller is telling the story, he didn't go so far, and it completely broke Mingxuan's vision at once.

"Well, Zhongzhou, a very vast land, maybe in your hearts, Huoyun Mountain is a very remarkable mountain, but in Zhongzhou, it is just an inconspicuous hill, the real famous mountains and rivers are beyond your imagination at present!, and outside of Zhongzhou, there are many places that are not inferior to Zhongzhou." Grandpa looked at Ming Xuan's incredible eyes and the mouth that opened wider and wider, and didn't go on, after all, these were enough to shock a child who was less than ten years old and lived in a circle around Huoyun Mountain, and if he continued to talk about it, he couldn't accept it for a while, just let him know about it, and he would slowly understand it himself in the future.

"Is this world so big? Isn't Huoyun Mountain very big? Is there no shadow in Zhongzhou?! There are places outside Zhongzhou, oh my God, that, that...... It's so big!!" Ming Xuan swallowed his saliva and calmed down, but he was still incoherent.

"You just know this now, in short, the world is big, big!" Grandpa didn't want to explain too much to him.

"Well, it's big! By the way, grandpa, are you going to tell me this? I know......" Mingxuan finally came back to his senses.

"Of course not!" Grandpa was stunned for a while, and was surrounded by this child, almost messing with him.

"Oh......"

"Hmm...... Let me think about it...... "Grandpa can't wait to sort out his thoughts, it's a bit messy."

"Grandpa, what you want to say has something to do with my boxing and meditation skills", Ming Xuan is a little brainy.

"Well, this world is very big, and there are a lot of things covered, in this world, there are not only humans, but also beasts, not the ones you see on the mountain, but beasts with human intelligence, as well as elves, and many hidden races......." Grandpa froze, glanced at Ming Xuan, and saw the incredible eyes and the mouth that opened wider and wider, okay, wait until he digested it.

"All things have spirits, born in accordance with the way of heaven, exist according to the law, pursue the world, continue to explore and explore in the long river of history, pursue the ultimate, comprehend the heaven and the earth, and beg for the Tao. Gradually, they mastered the Tao of Heaven and Earth, and each achieved something, and people became adults, and beasts became beasts. Human beings gradually in the process of comprehending heaven and earth, and gradually formed the Tao, Confucianism, Buddhism three sects, each leading the way, the essence of the mystery, when you grow up in the future, you will naturally know, now say with you, you can't understand the ......." When Mingxuan came to his senses, grandpa came again.

"Then what does it belong to my boxing and meditation practice?" Ming Xuan finally got a little started, although he was still shocked in his heart, but he was finally able to restrain himself.

"Belong to Taoism, Taoism is divided into three branches, Qingyang Mountain, Liuyun Valley and Xiaoyao Gate, each has its own specialty, but in the avenue is the same way, I worship under the Qingyang Gate, Chang Zi generation, the road number Chang Ming, the common name Gu Liufeng, you learn the natural martial arts of Qingyang Mountain, is the basic martial arts of the general disciples to learn the physique, the fist is called Liquan, and is also known as mud boxing, practice it is like boxing in the mud, it is difficult to block, as for meditation, it is just a simple breath, to accept the aura of heaven and earth, replenish the qi of the whole body, and adjust the spirit of the heart."

"Oh, no wonder......" Ming Xuan is a long insight now, it turns out that his grandfather's name is Gu Liufeng, the road name is Chang Ming, and the boxing method is called mud boxing, this name is really appropriate!

"In pursuit of the way of heaven, the world divides it into four levels according to the advancement of people, the first level of cultivation, known as the cultivator, also known as the martial artist, is mainly to exercise the body, has laid a good foundation for the purpose; the second order is to cultivate the mind, known as the cultivator, also known as the capable, is to cultivate the internal force, with the purpose of cultivating qi; the third level is the cultivation of the truth, known as the cultivator, also known as the true one, is to store the essence and save the spirit, the fourth order is the cultivation of immortals, known as the immortal cultivator, also known as the immortal, in order to contain the immortal qi, from the Tao and out of the Tao, the ultimate of cultivating the immortal is to cross the tribulation of the conjoined body, feathering and ascending to the immortalMake a legendary myth!!Ahem...... Ahem......" Grandpa said eloquently, and with the advanced explanation, his voice gradually became high, affecting his body, and he couldn't help coughing, although his eyes were full of excitement, but there was also a desolation that could not be concealed. This is something that Ming Xuan can't realize.

"Wow! Feather Ascending Immortal!Really???!" Ming Xuan jumped up excitedly, it was incredible!

"Hmm" Grandpa's health has not yet recovered, and he is reluctant to explain more.

"What about me?!What about me?!What level am I now?!" Ming Xuan couldn't help but think of himself, isn't what he practiced the martial arts of Qingyangmen, that also belongs to this stage.

"You?" Grandpa looked at Ming Xuan's excited expression, and couldn't help but be angry and funny,

"If you can practice clay fist to the extent I ask for it, then you will be considered to have entered the door of the martial artist."

"Ah!" Ming Xuan couldn't help but be frustrated, it turned out to be so difficult, he had worked hard for two years, and he didn't even enter the door.

"Don't be too depressed, the so-called physical cultivation is to stimulate the potential of the person himself, as he grows older, the physical condition will naturally go up, and the Cheng dù you are doing now is converted into the strength of the body, which is already comparable to a strong fifteen-year-old child, so it is not bad" Grandpa didn't want to hit him too much.

"Oh" Mingxuan felt a little better, but he still couldn't let go of it for a short time.

"The martial artist stage is very important, it is the stage of laying the foundation, the so-called high-rise building from the ground, what kind of height can be reached depends on the firm Cheng of his foundation, the so-called martial artist first order, the physical strength alone has reached the strength of ordinary adults, the second order of the martial artist, it is equivalent to the strength of a strong adult, then the third order of the martial artist is already beyond the general public, every time you have to advance, the strength of the body will rise in a proportion, mainly in strength, Speed and agility, this feeling can only be understood but not spoken, and you will know when you reach this stage later."

"How do you know if you've advanced?" Ming Xuan was obviously at a loss, after all, accepting a new thing requires time and experience accumulation.

"There will be an explosive increase in the body's functions, which can be clearly felt, and before that, you will also feel a bottleneck, and you will understand it at that point."

"That" Mingxuan still has a lot of questions to ask.

"You will slowly understand these things in the future, what I want to tell you now is, are you willing to learn martial arts and cultivation?" Grandpa interrupted his question impatiently, and cut straight to the point.

"Haven't I already been learning?" Ming Xuan had a question in his head, for children who were less than ten years old, too many concepts had not been formed.

"That's just for you to strengthen your body, if you are willing to learn martial arts, the difficulties you will encounter in the future will be more than ten times more than the current one, and there is also a danger to your life, you see that you are just practicing boxing and meditating every day now, which is the most basic, and it will be even more difficult in the future! If you are not willing to learn, you will live happily in Huoyun Mountain in the future, and you will live well with your current state." Which one would you like to choose?" Grandpa tried to explain his choice as clearly as possible, so that he could make a better choice.

"Ugh"

"You don't have to rush to give me an answer now, wait until you think clearly before you sue me." What he said today is far beyond Ming Xuan's imagination, it is better to wait for him to think clearly before deciding, after all, this is to determine his future, and he will not regret it in the future.

Grandpa turned around and left, leaving Mingxuan, who was still there, not knowing whether he was contemplative or in a daze
