Chapter 4 Learning Literature and Martial Arts

The snow had long since stopped, and the moon was high and bright, and the moonlight shone into the courtyard and on the body of the handsome young man.

Ah Xiu didn't know how to describe his current emotions, whether he should feel sad or happy. When he could first feel that he was a human being, his whole body was stiff, and his mouth still smelled of blood. Who am I? Ah Xiu fell into a collapse for a few days because of this question, he roared loudly, beating himself, and his desperate memories made his head hurt sharply.

Ah Xiu thought that there was nothing worse than this, amnesia, cold, hunger, he almost decided that he would die in such a humiliating death, there was no hope, the only thing he was glad that he was thirsty and could still grab the snow and put it in his mouth. Fainting again and again, struggling to wake up again and again, why didn't God let himself die like this, was it because the torture he had suffered was not enough? Ah Xiu asked himself more than once, asked God, and kept cursing.

But now Ah Xiu has changed his mentality, it seems that the Lin family's ancestors and grandchildren are also destined by heaven to save themselves, so that he can survive until the last day.

"It seems that God still has some use in keeping me. Ah Xiu said alone with some self-deprecation.

"Big brother. Xiao Yun's voice came.

Ah Xiu turned his head and saw the little girl walking towards him with a cotton coat.

"Big brother, why don't you sleep at such a late hour?" Xiao Yun walked up to Ah Xiu and asked, and yawned after speaking, which was very cute.

"I ...... Can't sleep. Ah Xiu sighed.

"What are you thinking, can you tell me?" Lin Xiaoyun tilted her head and smiled.

"Nothing, just a little unhappy. "Ashu said.

"Are you still worried that you can't find the past?" asked Lin Xiaoyun.

Ah Xiu nodded.

"Actually, big brother, you should think so, although you have forgotten the previous things, but you have also forgotten the previous pain, haven't you, you are so young, it is better to start from scratch. Lin Xiaoyun said.

Ah Xiu smiled, noncommittal, but enjoyed having someone to comfort him.

"I listen to Xiao Yun, go to sleep, you have to teach me to read tomorrow." "Ashu said.

Early the next morning, Lin Xuewu returned to the city, and after seeing off the second uncle, Xiao Yun sat in the courtyard to watch Ah Xiu learn kung fu.

"The old man's best thing in his life is the knife", Lin Wancheng looked at the half-cut firewood knife in his hand, his eyes lit up, and then said: "Let's start with this set of cloud-breaking knife learning, you see." ”

As he spoke, he saw the old man walking steadily with his feet and holding a knife in both hands, which was very powerful. After a few poses, the feet began to move, with the firewood knife in the hand, the body turned with the knife, the tiger was vigorous, and the dance was very good-looking.

Ah Xiu looked carefully on the side, and saw that Lin Wancheng's hair was fluttering, and the sword shadow was continuous, and he wanted to memorize the moves with his heart, but the old man's body was too fast to see clearly.

After about 30 tricks, Lin Wancheng received the move, and the horizontal knife stood in the courtyard, majestic. But Ah Xiu found that the old man's nose and sideburns were already sweating, and he knew that Lin Wancheng was not young, and now his physical strength was not as good as it was back then, and he was a little physically exhausted after dancing with a knife, and he was very moved.

Lin Xiaoyun walked forward quickly with a towel at this time, handed it to her grandfather to wipe her sweat, and brought up the water that had been prepared a long time ago, then turned her head to look at Ah Xiu, and said with a happy face: "Big brother, how is it, grandpa's martial arts are the most powerful." ”

Ah Xiu hurriedly nodded yes.

Lin Wancheng blushed and said: "Xiao Yun, don't talk nonsense, grandpa knows a few pounds and a few taels, if it is another one or two decades earlier, the old man asks himself if his kung fu is okay, these years are not good, people are old, and kung fu has long been put aside." ”

"Who said grandpa is old, grandpa is young now. Xiao Yun expressed dissatisfaction with her grandfather's self-deprecation.

"Yes, grandpa, you are old and strong. Ah Xiu also praised.

"Okay, you two", Lin Wancheng scolded with a smile, turned his head to Ah Xiu and continued: "You have seen all the thirty sword techniques just now, now let's learn one move at a time." "Talking about a move, talking about a move, Ah Xiu is listening and practicing, very serious.

Seeing that the sun was slanting to the west and the sky was a little dark, Ah Xiu was already able to memorize the thirty ways of the Cloud Breaking Sword Technique, and he had a bit of a look when he practiced one move and one style.

Lin Wancheng looked at Ah Xiu, who was still practicing knives, nodded, and said to Xiao Yun with satisfaction: "This kid is really a little smart, and it takes one day to connect this set of knife techniques to this appearance, it's not simple." ”

"Of course, Brother Ah Xiu is as smart as his grandfather back then. Lin Xiaoyun was obviously very confident in Ah Xiu, and slapped her grandfather on the back with her foot.

"You girl", Lin Wancheng stroked his granddaughter's head and continued: "I've only known each other for a few days, so I'm looking at your big brother." ”

"Grandpa, I'm cooking. With that, Xiao Yun ran into the kitchen and ran away with an excuse.

When the lamp was in charge, Ah Xiu and the three of them were eating around the table, and Lin Xiaoyun sandwiched the dishes for Ah Xiu and said, "Big brother, you must be tired after a day of kung fu, eat more meat." ”

Ah Xiu smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not too tired, this activity is much more comfortable." ”

"Ah Xiu, how do you feel after practicing this day?" asked Lin Wancheng.

"Well, I think it's quite interesting. "Ashu said.

Lin Xiaoyun interjected: "Grandpa, isn't it very powerful if the eldest brother has learned all your kung fu?"

Lin Wancheng glanced at his granddaughter, and said angrily: "Do you think that practicing martial arts is so simple, no matter how good martial arts are, if you don't practice martial arts for three years and five years, it will be useless." ”

"Oh. Xiao Yun's face flushed and replied in a low voice.

"However, as the saying goes, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step', and besides, Ah Xiu, this kid is really smart, and after practicing like this for a few years, he will definitely be able to have good kung fu. ”

"Then let the big brother live here for a few years, and when he has practiced well, he will go to the city again. Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said.

Before Lin Wancheng could answer, Ah Xiu said first: "No, Xiao Yun, I have to go into the city as soon as possible, I can't always eat and drink here for nothing." ”

"You ......", Lin Xiaoyun was angry, pouted, inserted the chopsticks into the rice hard, and muttered in a low voice: "People don't dislike you." ”

Ah Xiu ignored Xiao Yun and said to Lin Wancheng: "Grandpa, that, what will we learn tomorrow?"

Lin Wancheng said slowly: "Old man, I have a set of boxing techniques, and I will teach you tomorrow, but what, although you have learned the moves, you still have to practice diligently on weekdays, with your intelligence, if you are willing to work hard, you will be able to enter the Fanqing realm in three or two years." ”

"Fan Qingjing", Ah Xiu was sure that it was the first time he heard this word, and immediately asked, "What is that?"

Lin Wancheng replied: "I don't know when there was such a statement, anyway, since I learned martial arts from my master when I was a child, my master told me that there is a Fanqing realm, which is a martial arts realm for people who practice martial arts." ”

"Martial arts realm, what realm is that?" Ah Xiu was a little dazed.

"In fact, it's very simple, the world's martial arts have their own strengths, and the relationship between the sects is complicated, I don't know which dynasty and which generation have added a set of realm sayings, in order to inspire all martial artists to go further. Lin Wancheng thought for a while and then said: "The so-called 'Fanqing Realm' is actually a preliminary realm of martial arts, as long as you can generate internal strength through various means, you can be regarded as entering Fanqing Realm." ”

"I see", Ah Xiu asked again, "Is there any realm above the Fanqing Realm?"

"Of course there is, there are also Xuan Mind Realm, Out of Dust Realm, Canghai Realm, Cloud Realm, etc., I don't remember clearly. Lin Wancheng replied.

Ah Xiu listened with great interest, and immediately asked, "What is the realm of this Xuanxin Mirror?"

"You can make full use of the internal force generated by the Fanqing Realm, turn the internal force into strength, and produce the true qi that can be controlled by yourself, which is the Xuan Mind Realm. Lin Wancheng paused and continued: "When you can release your true qi and hurt people in the air, you will also reach the realm of coming out of the dust." ”

"The internal force is strengthened, and the true qi is released. Ah Xiu muttered to himself, frowning, trying to figure it out.

"Hehe......" The old man looked at Ah Xiu's appearance and smiled and said: "You don't have to think so much now, you have only been exposed to martial arts for a while, and there is still a long way to go, and when your kung fu arrives, you will naturally understand." And even if I have lived most of my life, I can only understand the realm of the earth, and I only know a name in the realm of the upper realm. ”

Ah Xiu let go of his thoughts when he heard Lin Wancheng say this, and asked again: "Then what realm are you in now, grandpa, can you really let your anger out?"

"I?haha......" The old man laughed twice and said: "It's the first time I've heard someone say that I'm a master of the Dust Realm, the old man, I've practiced all my life, and I can't integrate the true qi, and the current realm can only be between the Fanqing realm and the Xuan Mind realm." ”

"Oh. Ah Xiu was a little surprised, the old man's lifelong kung fu was barely regarded as reaching the Xuanxin Mirror, then he had just begun, and the future was a little bleak, but after a little thought, he felt that there were still a lot of things worth exploring, which was not bad, and his confidence swelled at the moment, and he asked: "Grandpa, what kind of masters have you seen in the rivers and lakes for so many years?"

Lin Wancheng thought for a while and said: "If you want to say that I have been doing the dart game for so many years, I have not been to the south and the north, and I have seen many martial artists, but most of them are in the Qing Realm, and it is rare to really enter the Xuan Heart Realm. However, I heard others say that there seems to be a master of the Dust Realm hidden in Lingxiang City, which is not far from Shangling. ”

"Lingxiang City. Ah Xiu secretly wrote it down, yearning for it in his heart.

After dinner, with the help of a small lamp, Lin Xiaoyun began to teach Ah Xiu to read, and Ah Xiu learned very quickly.
