Chapter 5 A Quiet Life
Early the next morning, Ding Yu came to the Chuangong Hall, which was actually an open space paved with loess, but the loess on the ground had been trampled on for decades, and it was already hard and cement.
Sixteen new disciples stood in a row, and in front of them were four second-generation disciples, in addition to Zhifang Zhiguang Zhida, there was also a Tubo person whom Ding Yu had never seen, and his Dharma name was Zhiyuan.
Zhiguang looked to be the tallest of the four, standing a little half a step ahead of the other three. After all the disciples had stood quietly, he cleared his throat and began to explain to the disciples the martial arts he had passed on today—the Vajra Demon Suppression Divine Power.
It turns out that this King Kong Demon Suppression Magic Power is very big, it is one of the seventy-two stunts of Shaolin, and it is also the most popular martial arts in Shaolin Temple, but it is also the least practiced martial arts.
Vajra is not an offensive martial art, but an outer door hard skill that exercises muscles and bones and increases strength. There are a total of 36 styles of this exercise, and the famous Crouching Tiger Pile is one of them. Among the remaining 35 poses, some of them are extremely laborious piles like the Crouching Tiger pile, and some are anti-joint force movements that can produce great pain. If an ordinary strong man does each pose for two minutes, then he will be exhausted and sweat profusely if he does less than half of the 36 exercises. If you can do each style for five minutes and insist on completing the thirty-six styles, then the Vajra Demon will have been introduced, and the practitioner's physique will be greatly improved at this time; on top of this, the longer you persist in it, the better the effect of forging the body; the general level can be divided into entry, small success, big success, after the completion of the main can actually continue to improve, but it is too slow, no one has ever done this. When the practitioner reaches the end of the exercise, there is no need to deliberately stand on the pile or twist the joints, walking, sitting and lying can freely mobilize the muscles and bones of the whole body to generate the huge force of King Kong, and the practitioner is also like the body of King Kong, and ordinary blunt force beating, punching and kicking are only regarded as beating the back.
However, there are two major drawbacks to this practice, the first is that it is easy to get started, but it is hard and time-consuming to practice it further. Ordinary people can get started in three months to six months, but it takes three to five years to practice to reach the realm of small success, and it takes more than 15 years to practice to reach the level of big success. If that's all it takes, there are always some monks with great perseverance who are willing to practice, but in addition, Vajra subduing demons pays attention to "strengthening muscles and bones and then generating divine power", and it can't produce internal force. This flaw is extremely fatal, for most Shaolin monks, in addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping during the day, they also have to participate in meditation, and some people also have to be responsible for the duties of the temple, and the remaining time to practice martial arts is three hours is very good. Instead of using it to carry muscles, it is better to use it to carry internal qi, and after practicing a few times of fists and feet, the increased force value is far greater than that of King Kong's magic power.
It is precisely because of such obvious advantages and disadvantages of Vajra subduing demons that even the monks of Shaolin Temple will practice several styles of Vajra subduing demons to improve their physique; Only a miscellaneous disciple like the fire foreman Tuo, who is unable to obtain advanced martial arts and is extremely eager to become stronger, will grit his teeth and practice this kung fu to the fullest, and finally bring it to the Western Regions, becoming one of the martial arts that must be practiced in the Vajra Gate.
In addition to the Vajra Demon Suppression Divine Power, the martial arts of Vajra Gate also include the Mighty Vajra Finger, the Vajra Prajna Palm, the Divine Palm Eight Fights, and the Shaolin Arhat Boxing. These five martial arts are stolen from the Shaolin Temple by the fire foreman Tuo, only moves and no internal strength; in addition, there are several sets of boxing techniques, some are learned by the fire foreman Tuo on the defection road, some are after the establishment of the King Kong Gate, the disciples of the disciples brought in the art of the master, but these boxing methods are all without internal strength, and they are only relatively large road martial arts, far less than a few Shaolin stunts.
On this morning, Zhi Fang and other second-generation disciples, each teaching four new disciples, first taught the first twelve types of Vajra Demon Subduing Divine Power. Ding Yu listened very carefully, and kept in mind how each movement was, how to exert strength, what taboos and so on. No matter what the status of this set of kung fu is in the Shaolin Temple, it can't hide its power, and the fire foreman Tuo can kill in the Shaolin Temple, and this kung fu is absolutely indispensable.
After the twelve styles were transmitted, Zhifang and others taught a set of Taizu long fists, that is, the Taizu long fists in Gu Long's novels, "even those who drive the cart will play two tricks", but this also shows that this set of fist methods can withstand the test of the eyes of the people.
By the time he finished explaining Taizu Changquan, nearly half of the morning had passed. Zhi Fang and the others stopped bothering with these new disciples, and found an empty place to start practicing. Ding Yu began to practice the first twelve forms of Vajra subduing demons. The body he took away was of medium to high quality, and it took two pillars of incense to finish the twelve forms, but the whole person was already tired and weak.
However, Ding Yu did not rest, and after a little relief, he got up and played all the way Taizu Changquan, but it was like playing Tai Chi, which was not intended to be strong, first, to familiarize himself with the movements, enhance muscle memory, and second, to promote blood circulation and speed up the recovery of the body. Originally, if you can play a set of 72 ways Tai Chi at this time, it will be the best way to recover fatigue and relieve muscle stiffness, Ding Yu had been in the University of Physical Engineering in his previous life, but he didn't dare to play it, after all, the way is not easy to explain, and it would be miserable if he was accidentally suspected of being an undercover agent of other sects.
After a few long fist trips, Ding Yu felt that his strength was gradually recovering, so he went to practice Vajra again, but this time he was unable to continue after only doing six forms. This cycle was repeated several times, and the morning was over, only to exhaust Ding Yu to the point that he had no strength in his body. When it was time to start the meal, the amount of his meal was more than doubled, and the King Kong Gate couldn't help but eat meat and vegetables, and the large pieces of beef and mutton were in the stomach, and the whole person's spirit was lifted.
Suddenly, a month has passed, and in this month, Ding Yu's life is extremely fulfilling, except for going to Lao Wangtou every day to learn bones and running to the wine shop, all the other free time is used to practice martial arts. I don't know if it was the martial soul seed that brought his martial arts talent in his previous life to this body, or if this body was originally selected by the martial soul seed because of its excellent talent, ordinary people need to practice for three months to get started with the thirty-six types of Vajra Demon Divine Power, he only practiced for twenty-eight days before he got started, the whole body was thick, and the originally slightly thin body had obvious muscles and muscles, and his strength had more than doubled. The rest of the Vajra Gate's several sets of martial arts have also been passed down, and they have been practiced by him one by one.
It stands to reason that the powerful Vajra finger and the Vajra Prajna palm belong to the Shaolin seventy-two stunts, which should not be so easy to practice, how can the fire foreman Tuo only steal the martial arts moves at the beginning, and there is no internal strength. For a person like Ding Yu with a relatively developed motor nerve, his memory has been greatly enhanced for some reason, so several sets of martial arts add up to a total of more than 200 moves, and he has practiced it in less than ten days, and then it is used to form muscle memory in the next twenty days.
In comparison, on the contrary, the old king's bone grafting technique is more difficult to learn, different parts of the fracture should be connected with different techniques, and different degrees of bone fracture in the same part should also be connected with different techniques, and the strength is not easy to master, the key is an empirical problem. However, the old Wang Tou said that Ding Yude had learned his skills well, and he was better than many bone-setting doctors in the rivers and lakes. Ding Yu asked him, "Then how much worse am I than you now?"
The old Wang Tou let out a breath from his nose and said, "You give bones to ten people every day, and you will be about the same as me in ten years!" Ding Yu's heart was cold when he heard this.
The progress of the tavern was also good, and after the fat and thin Hu Shang, Ding Yu heard the news about the White Camel Mountain Order a few more times. It turned out that since the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions has been an important trade route connecting the Central Plains and Damascus and other states, and countless goods flow through this place every year, which has also attracted countless horse thieves and bandits. After countless bloody battles, these robbers finally occupied large and small territories, forming a relatively stable situation. When a caravan passes through the territory of a gang of bandits, it must pay the robbers a passage money, otherwise it will be looted or even killed. A medium-sized caravan makes a round trip, and often nearly half of the profits have to be used to pay the passage money of the various bandits.
White Camel Mountain takes out 100 White Camel Mountain orders every year, and the major caravans compete for bidding, as long as you buy one, you can pass through the entire Western Regions, and you don't need to pay any toll silver throughout the year. And how can the effectiveness of this token be guaranteed? Naturally, it is the supreme force of Ouyang Feng, the lord of the White Camel Mountain. When the token was first issued, there were 13 bandits who refused to accept it, and after a month, 13 bandits were wiped out, in the second month, 8 bandits refused to accept it, and 8 bandits were wiped out, and in the third month, 3 large bandits refused to accept it, and 3 bandits did not stay. Three months later, no bandit dared to challenge the ferocity of White Camel Mountain. After all, there are only 100 tokens, but there are hundreds of caravans, whether to be greedy for this bite or to keep their heads, even the bandits who lick blood from the knife know the trade-offs. From this point of view, Ouyang Feng, the villain, played a role of righteousness in the Western Regions
In addition to this, there is another surprise in the sake shop. A few days ago, there was a storyteller who fled from the Central Plains, stayed in the wine shop for two days, and told some stories about the rivers and lakes, including the paragraph about the sword in Huashan 17 years ago, which provided a clear time point for Ding Yu.
On the evening of this day, Ding Yu was on duty from the wine shop, and Lao Zhang, the shopkeeper of the wine shop, handed him two taels of silver per month, Ding Yu was stunned, remembering that the martial soul seed had to absorb energy at least once a month, and he only cared about practicing this month, but he didn't fight with people much. After walking out of the wine shop, Ding Yu asked in his mind how long it was the last time to absorb energy, and learned that it was tomorrow. Ding Yu secretly complained, it was already the time of the sea, and when he returned to the Vajra Gate, most of the disciples had already fallen asleep, and he had just gotten up to practice the exercises, where would he go to find someone to fight with him during this time?
Ding Yu sighed, he couldn't only let the seed absorb his own energy, but he thought that the Vajra Demon Suppression Divine Power had already started, and his physique had improved a lot, and it should be nothing to be sucked once.
As he walked, he sorted out the news he had heard in the tavern in his mind, and not long after he walked out of the city gate, he suddenly noticed that there were three more people in front of him, and two people jumped out of the roadside behind.
Ding Yu is a person who has been in the dark, and he is no stranger to these deceptive acts. He immediately shook the lantern in his hand, and the candle inside burned the lantern paper, and the fire burst into flames, and he raised his hand and threw the lantern that burned into a fireball forward, intending to use the fireball to force the people in front of him to get out of the way, so that he could break out of the encirclement and avoid being attacked on his back.
Unexpectedly, one of the people in front of him saw the fireball coming, not only did not dodge, but stepped forward, raised his leg and split the lantern down, and then looked at Ding Yu with interest while lightly grinding off a few sparks from the soles of his shoes on the ground.
Ding Yu was taken aback, this kick was clearly a form in the Prajna Palm Technique, could it be said that they were disciples of the Vajra Sect? He asked tentatively: "Poor monk Vajra Sect Chang Hao, how many are the senior brothers in the sect?"
The man who had just come out of his leg laughed and said, "Senior Brother Chang Hao has good eyesight, and he is Chang Qing of King Kong Sect, and these people are also your senior brothers." He didn't wait for Ding Yu to ask again, and then said: "Brother Wei has been practicing too hard recently, and his body and bones are a little weak, so he plans to buy some meat to make up for it, but he is helpless to be shy." I learned that my junior brother had just received the moon silver today, so I came to borrow it. ”
Ding Yuxin said: "I am a fool to believe in you! It's just this kind of thing, I'm afraid there is no reason to explain with the urine sex of King Kong Gate, but it just so happens that I can't find anyone to contribute energy to the martial soul seed!"
He made a look of cringe and asked, "Little brother, I just received two taels of silver, I don't know how much senior brother wants to borrow?"
Chang Qing waved his hand and said: "I was going to borrow ten taels or eight taels, but since it is inconvenient for the junior brother to have it at hand, it is two taels." ”
Ding Yu gasped and muttered, "How can this be done! I only have these two taels in total......
"Well, junior brother, do you have something to say?" Chang Qing raised his voice and took a heavy step forward, and the other four people also took a step forward.
Ding Yu shrank again, and said with a painful face: "It's two taels, it's two taels!" said and took out two taels of broken silver from his arms, and reluctantly stretched out his hand.
Chang Qing stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "That's right, our senior brother ......"
Before he finished speaking, his outstretched right hand was grabbed by Ding Yu and pulled suddenly, and the whole person couldn't help but stumble forward, and then a fist quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, hitting the bridge of his nose suddenly, "click" sound, Chang Qing only felt that countless Venus bloomed instantly, the deep pain in his nose was unbearable, and tears and snot gushed out together.
Ding Yu broke the bridge of Changqing's nose with a punch, and while he was in pain, he stepped on the ground with a style of King Kong, took a step sideways, and knocked him away with one arm.
Seeing that the encirclement was broken, Ding Yu was about to rush forward, but he felt a pain in his back, but he was punched by Chang Man from behind. Rao is that he has already trained the Vajra Demon to the beginning, and this time he feels the pain, after all, these five people are all three generations of disciples of the Vajra Gate, and the entry is several years earlier than Ding Yu, and the heat of the Vajra Demon is even higher than him.
Ding Yu did not stop after receiving this punch, but accelerated and rushed forward, and the five third-generation disciples followed closely behind. Fortunately, the moon was bright tonight, and I could barely see the road under my feet.
Ding Yu seemed to be a little panicked, he ran straight towards an earthen wall, and the five disciples were overjoyed and scattered into a semicircle to outflank him.
After running a few more steps, Ding Yu seemed to realize that he was going to hit the wall, and his feet couldn't help but slow down a little. Chang Man, who was directly behind, exhaled and punched Ding Yu's vest again.
Unexpectedly, with the help of the moon shadow under his feet, Ding Yu already knew that he was behind him, and he deliberately lured him to punch. He himself exerted force under his feet, jumped up and stepped on the earthen wall twice, and flipped upside down behind Chang Man.
Chang Man's eyes suddenly emptied, and he knew that something was wrong, and just wanted to turn around, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then there was a whirlwind of the sky, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.
Ding Yu laughed, turned around again and ran before the other four people could close in. Chang Qing saw Chang Man fall to the ground, and couldn't take care of Ding Yu for a while, stepped forward to help Chang Man, and asked, "Senior Brother Chang Man, what's wrong with you?" Chang Man was punched in the back of the head by Ding Yu, but now he had a bit of a concussion reaction, lying on the ground and vomiting "wow".
The other three looked at each other, all shocked and angry, and one of them said, "Senior Brother Changqing, you stay here to take care of Chang Man, let's go after that kid, and never let him feel better!" After speaking, the three of them chased after Ding Yu.
