Chapter 8 Beginners
When Kou Jiannan saw him, his eyes lit up, and he thought that this younger brother had already walked like a fly before he learned light skills, and he was really a good seedling for learning martial arts.
"Zilong, my brother knows that you have the talent to learn martial arts, but you have to lay a solid foundation in order to give full play to your kung fu, so today I will start by practicing the basic skills. The first step is to stand on the pile. "Kou Jiannan didn't plan to give Zilong any swordsmanship exercises at first, what he wanted was for Zilong to lay a good foundation and hone the foundation before he could start to formally learn martial arts.
Without a foundation, learning martial arts is like a castle in the air. Only by laying a good foundation and taking one step at a time can you become a true martial arts master.
Kou Jiannan nodded excitedly when he saw Zilong.
Kou Jiannan was satisfied, and said: "The basic posture of standing on the pile, horse step." “?? Zilong didn't know what Kou Jiannan was talking about, he knew that his foundation was very poor, so he had to start from scratch, and he didn't complain, he unfolded his posture, stood firm, and opened his horse steps.
Horse step is just the simplest stake in martial arts. The moves are simple, but if you maintain the posture of standing for a long time, it is very tiring, of course, the effect of standing is also very significant, which can well exercise the stability of the lower plate, as well as the muscles of the legs, coordination and so on.
"Stand like a pine!"
Kou Jiannan also opened his legs, squatted down, and unfolded his posture.
"I'll stand with you. ”
Kou Jiannan didn't say how long he would stand on the pile, first, he didn't know the foundation of Zilong's body, and second, what stood on the pile was not only the body, but also the willpower.
If the willpower is strong, the duration of the stake will will naturally be long.
"Good. ”
Zilong agreed, but did not consider the length of time to stand on the pile as Kou Jiannan said. Instead, he carefully tied up his horse steps and sat down.
At this moment, it was just early in the morning, and the sun was shining on Kou Jiannan and Zilong's faces, which was very mild and did not have much heat. However, when the time comes, the weather will gradually get hotter, and the standing pile will be even more painful.
Ordinary people can't stand on the pile for too long at first, but for someone like Kou Jiannan who is advanced in martial arts, a morning will not be a big deal. And for Zilong, half an hour is very difficult.
Moreover, Zilong was originally a beggar, and his nutrition since he was a child was not very good. Although I live in the mansion now, I have indeed made up a lot of nutrients during this time, and I have a good rest, but the time is still very short. But fortunately, Zilong has a magical body, and he feels that his legs seem to have tens of millions of catties of gravity, and his legs are as stable as Mount Tai, but out of the instinctive reaction of his body, the sweat on Zilong's forehead keeps falling and ticking on the ground.
"If you can't stand it, stand up and relax. Kou Jiannan was afraid that Zilong would not be able to support it, so his heart softened, and he said to Zilong.
However, Zilong didn't seem to hear it, his eyes were round, and he looked straight ahead, his eyes were full of stubbornness and firmness. Under such eyes, Kou Jiannan didn't know how to dissuade him, so he had to squat to the side, hoping that Zilong wouldn't have an accident.
An hour was about to come, but Zilong still maintained the posture just now, not knowing whether he was completely numb or continued to hold on with extremely strong willpower.
However, it can be seen that Zilong's face became a little pale, and his legs began to tremble, this scene made Kou Jiannan feel very distressed, but if Zilong insisted, how could he, as the eldest brother, let Zilong give up?
Practicing martial arts is not only about the physical body, but also about willpower.
"Bang dang!"
Suddenly, Zilong's legs bent, his body fell to his knees uncontrollably, and he fell heavily to the ground, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and he fell to the ground, unable to move. Kou Jiannan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Zilong.
Kou Jiannan stretched out his hand to check Zilong's condition, originally, Zilong's limbs were numb, and his whole body was extremely sore, but he could feel that his strength was actually increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the magic power transmitted by the holy skeleton to Zilong's body quickly repaired Zilong's body.
"How do you feel?" Kou Jiannan asked with concern as he hugged Zilong in his arms.
"Big brother, don't worry, I'm fine. Zilong replied.
Outside the courtyard, a figure like a jade was looking at the scene in front of him, and there was indescribable distress in his eyes. But Qu Yu didn't stop Kou Jiannan's approach, but watched quietly on the side, his hands clenched. Qu Yu knows that what is needed to practice a good kung fu is perseverance, hard work, and talent. The three are indispensable, and if you stop it yourself, it will only harm Zilong.
"Rest for half an hour. ”
Hearing this, Zilong nodded, but he didn't force himself. Practicing martial arts, one loosening and one galloping is the right way, and Fangcai's own body has reached its limit, and there is no need to continue to persevere.
After resting, Zilong only felt unbearably thirsty, and was just about to go to drink some water when he saw Qu Yu striding towards him.
watched my sister-in-law take out a silk handkerchief from her arms and wipe the sweat on her forehead very seriously. Zilong's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears, where did he think that Qu Yu had been watching him all the time, and his sister-in-law was so concerned about him.
"Drink some water, take small sips, and don't choke on yourself. ”
Zilong couldn't speak, as soon as he spoke, he was afraid that he would cry, and when the time came, he would attract the laughter of his sister-in-law and brother-in-law, so he had to nod heavily, took the water bottle, and drank it in small sips. At this moment, in Zilong's heart, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are like relatives.
Although the eldest brother is very strict with himself, Zilong doesn't know that the eldest brother is for his own good.
Half an hour is only a blink of an eye. Fortunately, Zilong's body also recovered very quickly, not as tired as just now, because of the magic power in his body, Zilong only felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and at this moment, he felt that there seemed to be infinite strength in his body.
"Come with me. ”
Kou Jiannan said to Zilong.
Naturally, it is impossible to end martial arts so simply. After that, there are many more steps.
Zilong kept up with Kou Jiannan's pace, and from a distance, he saw that outside the courtyard, there were hundreds of erected wooden stakes, each of which was one or two meters apart, and some were about ten centimeters, crisscrossing and distributing outside the courtyard. Seeing this scene, Zilong was extremely surprised, he had lived in the courtyard for so long, and he had never found out that there was a stake array here.
"It took me two weeks to finish, and I was going to use it for myself, so I'll give it to you. These stakes are wobbly. ”
As soon as the words fell, Kou Jiannan slammed on the ground, and then his body flew towards the sky, stepping on the wooden stake steadily, the wooden stake swayed back and forth, but it had no effect on Kou Jiannan.
The total length of the wooden stake was about two hundred meters, but Kou Jiannan flew more than two hundred meters in an instant. Zilong only felt that Kou Jiannan's body was as light as a swallow, and every step was extremely steady and relaxed, as if the foot was not a shaking stake, but a flat bottom.
This scene made Zilong even more admired Kou Jiannan in his heart.
"When you can be as light as a swallow on a stake and as fast as a fly, I will teach you how to move. Kou Jiannan flew down from the stake and looked at Zilong.
"Go up from that little stake to the first stake, hold on, don't fall down, just fine. Kou Jiannan pointed to a low wooden stake, about a few tens of centimeters, from where he could step into the stake array. According to Zilong's body method, it is absolutely impossible to fly directly with Kou Jiannan.
"Okay!" Zilong nodded, stepped on the first stake, and stepped on it.
Zilong originally thought that this was not difficult, after all, he saw Kou Jiannancai's relaxed appearance, but only when he really did it, Zilong felt extremely difficult, his body staggered, and he could stand firmly.
"Calm, composed, don't panic!"
Just when Zilong's body swayed back and forth, about to fall. Kou Jiannan's voice sounded, making Zilong quickly calm down, the swaying body was gradually flattening, one foot standing on the stake, the other foot hanging in the air, both hands flat, maintaining the independent posture of the golden rooster.
The body staggered from the beginning to the motionless now. This scene shocked Kou Jiannan's heart. Although he had known for a long time that Zilong was an out-and-out martial arts prodigy, it was only seven or eight minutes before and after mastering the balance, which still shocked Kou Jiannan fiercely.
He thought that his martial arts talent was extremely good, but he definitely couldn't do it like Zilong, who could keep a flat mark on a wooden stake in a few minutes. For the first time, it took him half a day to keep his balance completely.
"Yes, just keep it up. ”
Zilong's eyes were closed, and all his attention was on the balance of his body. Wooden stakes, it does not mean that there is no problem if you can stand, once you don't pay attention, the body loses its center of gravity and flat marks, and it is easy to fall off the stake. At this moment, Zilong is in this state.
It was already noon, and the scorching sun was shining on Zilong's face. Zilong only felt hot and upset, and his originally calm and calm state of mind was shattered at the moment, and his body standing on the stake shook for a while.
"I can't hold it!"
Kou Jiannan flew down and hugged Zilong, and Zilong smiled at Kou Jiannan: "Big brother, I'm causing you trouble again." ”
"It's good that you're able to stand for an hour for the first time, kid. Next time, keep up the good work. Kou Jiannan said with a smile, such a result was completely beyond Kou Jiannan's expectations, it was really good to be able to do this, which made Kou Jiannan very satisfied.
"At noon, get a good rest. There will be other training in the afternoon. Kou Jiannan said to Zilong.
Hearing this, Zilong's face showed a resolute look again, and he nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely train hard." ”??“ Well, work hard!" Kou Jiannan also nodded, and helped Zilong back to the house to rest. The noon break is generally an hour, Zilong is lying on the bed, he only feels very tired, in Fang Cai's training, he has been tired to a great extent, and Zilong doesn't want to move.
After a while, he fell asleep. When I woke up again, I was woken up by the smell of food. He saw that Qu Yu's sister-in-law was carrying the food and putting it on his table, Qu Yu did not wake up Zilong at first, but sat on the side and quietly watched Zilong sleep with a gentle expression.
The reason why she didn't wake up Zilong at the beginning was because she hoped that Zilong could rest for a while. However, Zilong opened his eyes, looked at Qu Yu, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law." ”??“ After eating, my sister-in-law specially made it for you. ”
Speaking of eating, Zilong felt that he was indeed hungry, and a wave of hunger came to him, looked at the food on the table, nodded, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”
The food on the table was not ordinary vegetables, rice or anything like that. All of them are nourishing meat, as well as expensive yellow rice, which are very beneficial to the body, so you can imagine how much effort Qu Yu has put into it.
Where did Zilong eat any meat when he was a beggar before, let alone eat meat, he rarely saw it. Being able to eat enough as a beggar is already a great blessing. At this moment, looking at the full food on the table, Zilong felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
