The apprentice's life is hard, he has to get up early in the morning every day, first to walk together, exercise for half an hour, and then go to the smelting room to lay his hands, the older apprentices build some tools, like the little leopard, they will lay their hands on the side, and in the afternoon, they will learn the basic skills of smelting in the yard.

And in the evening, after a busy day in the smelting room, the remaining mess was also cleaned up by their apprentices.

"So let's just say, the previous book is right, this apprentice really has no human rights!" The little leopard held a stake the size of a bowl and knocked it in the yard, knocking on it while slandering the evil old society.

This is the routine of the apprentices every afternoon, each with a hammer in his hand, and a small stone platform in front of him, on which is a wooden stake the size of a bowl.

Yes, a wooden stake the size of a bowl, the task of their group of apprentices is to use the hammer in their hands to knock on the wooden stake on the stone platform again and again, of course, it is not for you to knock casually, there are requirements for this, each time the part of the knock is required to be at the same point, that is, your hammer has to be knocked on the place where you first hammered.

Don't think it's very simple, the stake has a bullet surname, not only a bullet surname, but also a semicircular surface, not a plane, which increases the difficulty of hammering in disguise.

"Bang, bang, bang!" a muffled sound of percussion resounded in the small courtyard, echoing the sound of hammering metal in the smelting room.

"Boys, concentrate a little, when you can knock a hole in this stake in an afternoon, I will teach you what to do next, and if you can't finish it within half a year, you will go back to your own house!"

Lao Xing Tou walked around the courtyard slowly, looking at the group of apprentices under him, and finally, gradually fixed his attention on the little leopard.

"This little baby is not very old, but his attention is very concentrated, and he has practiced martial arts, and he is a good piece of material!"

Compared with several other apprentices, the little leopard who has just been here for less than ten days is obviously superior, the power of each blow is not large, but it is enough to ensure that every blow of his own is under control, so that there will be no hammer down, the hammer head will bounce up uncontrollably, the other hand holding the stake is also very stable, and the stake on the stone platform will not move in the slightest because of being knocked down.

The only regret was that he could not guarantee that every hammer he was at the same point, and despite his best efforts, he still smashed a small bowl-shaped depression into the small wooden stake.

"Boy, don't worry, don't panic, pay attention to the stability of your right hand when you hammer, but the left hand is not enough, if the right hand is not stable, it will not be able to hit the same point!"

Standing beside the little leopard and watching for a long time, Lao Xing Tou suddenly spoke.

"Thank you, Master!" the little leopard glanced at him gratefully, and the speed of the hammer slowed down significantly, and he began to slowly appreciate the strength of his hand when he swiped the hammer.

"Look at what, if you have this kid's general enlightenment surname, Lao Tzu will also guide you, practice quickly!"

While Lao Xing Tou and the little leopard were talking, the other apprentices also involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

Unexpectedly, before he could take a look, he was scolded back by Lao Xingtou, and he buried his head in hammering one by one, but from time to time, the little leopard's keen spiritual sense could still feel it, and some jealousy and resentment occasionally fell on him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with me, I'm angry with these little cubs, it's really useless!"

Feeling the fluctuations in his emotions, the dog laughed for no reason, he has lived two lives, he is almost forty years old, and his mentality has already matured, but he can't imagine that there are fluctuations now.

Not to be envied is mediocrity!

He was a mediocre talent in his previous life, although he had already read a doctorate, but he had never been envied, and after graduation, he was mixed in the agency, and he finished playing before he had a big career, so he never felt the feeling of being envied.

Unexpectedly, he lived one more life, but he was only eight years old, and he was jealous, and he was still in the "promising" profession of ironsmithing.

"I hope these little cubs don't trouble me, otherwise, it will be really difficult to deal with!" the little leopard secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and once again sank his mind into the iron.

"This striking iron really has something in common with martial arts, how can the key points of power that Lao Xing Tou talked about before have great similarities with the key points of boxing that Wang Tianlei taught me?!"

While fighting, while thinking, combined with the boxing techniques he had learned before, gradually, the dog's mind entered a mysterious realm.

"Bang, bang, bang, knock, knock, knock!" No one noticed, his percussion began to produce a slight change, the transformation of this sound was very small, and the apprentices who were practicing like the little leopard did not notice it, and only Lao Xing Tou noticed that something was wrong.

At this time, he was facing away from the little leopard, standing next to an eleven or twelve-year-old apprentice, this apprentice was second only to the little leopard in terms of qualifications, although the skills he showed now were not as good as the little leopard, but he was also a creative talent, he was about to guide the apprentice as he had just done, but there was a voice in his ears that made him feel incredible.

At first, he thought he had heard it wrong, but when he turned around and saw the little leopard concentrate on smashing the stake one after another, he was stunned, and then, an irrepressible ecstasy surged up on his face, and he took two quick steps to the front of the little leopard, gently stepped forward, looked at the little leopard hammer and hammer smashed, and then looked at the little leopard's plain with a blank expression, Lao Xing took two steps back, and his steps were also subconsciously relaxed by him, as if he was afraid of frightening the little leopard。

Lao Xingtou's abnormality naturally attracted the attention of the other apprentices, and they also stopped their work one by one and looked over here following Lao Xingtou's gaze.

This time, Lao Xingtou did not let them continue to work, but let it go.

Slowly, these apprentices also saw the mystery of the hammer in the hand of the little leopard, his speed is not fast, and the strength is not, but the strange thing is that with each of his strikes, the part of the hammer head is the same point on the stake, under a blow, the contact parts have to sink down, and the most important thing is that the frequency of the little leopard's striking seems to be fixed, and the action of the hammer is becoming more and more skilled, and in the end, it is like flowing water, giving people an incomparably harmonious feeling.

For the attention of others, the little leopard was as if he had not seen it, in fact, he really did not know, his mind was completely immersed in this state.

I don't know how long it took, only to hear a strange sound of "click", the little leopard's movements paused suddenly, as if awakened from a dream, the original dazed eyes instantly returned to normal, only to find that the stake on the stone platform in front of him had been knocked through by him, a hammer-sized hole appeared on the stake, and the abnormal sound just now was made by his hammer hitting the stone platform below.

At this time, he finally noticed the situation around him and couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's-!"

"Little leopard, you come with me, everyone else, give me the fuck back, continue to practice-!" Old Xing Tou forced the joy in his heart, roared, and the other apprentices returned to their positions one by one like cats whose tails had been stepped on.

The little leopard's performance just now was indeed magical, but in their eyes, it was only magical, even strange, what can a group of teenagers and half-grown-olds understand?

Lao Xing Tou is different.

He knew the state that the little leopard had just entered, this is called epiphany, epiphany, that is, suddenly, he realized the great truth, and his understanding in a certain field became extremely profound, which is epiphany.

This kind of epiphany has nothing to do with qualifications, only relying on fortune and luck, some geniuses and heroes, even if they are poor in their lives, they can't have an epiphany once, and there are some stupid people who can have an epiphany several times in their lives and achieve extremely high achievements in a certain field.

Lao Xingtou has never entered the state of epiphany, but this kind of thing has spread very widely between heaven and earth, as if it is a fairy fate in the wild history of novels, I have never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run? I have never seen a pig run, at least I have heard of a pig as an animal!

Isn't the state and effect of the little leopard the epiphany he once heard of pigs, oh wrong, heard of?

Thinking about this, Lao Xingtou's heart fluctuated for a while, and his eyes when he looked at the little leopard suddenly became much softer, which scared the little leopard enough.

"This old man doesn't have any special fetishes, right......!"

It turns out that this old man doesn't have any special fetishes, just love.

"Come here, sit down!"

Entering the room, Lao Xing pointed to the stool on the side with a pleasant face.

The little leopard wanted to sit very much, but after thinking about it, he still stood there after all, and said respectfully, "In front of the master, where is there a small seat!"

"I didn't expect you to be a person who keeps etiquette!" Old Xing Tou glanced at the little leopard with some surprise, "It's not like you're born in the mountains!"

The little leopard smiled, "Although the little one was born in the township, he has also studied poetry and books for a few days, and he naturally understands some of the principles of dealing with people!"

"I've been learning poetry for a few days!" Old Xing's face moved, "Do you recognize words?!"

You must know that in this world, literate people are very few, just like the old society back then, the proportion of illiteracy is extremely high, that is, the old Xingtou in front of him, he knows no more than a hundred words, as for the word, probably can write his own name, which is already good, and in the mountain village where the little leopard lives, there are even fewer literate people, so the little leopard said that he was literate, but it was completely unexpected by him.

The little leopard smiled abruptly, looking a little embarrassed, "These are my brother-in-law's skills!" As he spoke, he told Wang Tianlei what he had done in the village, and Lao Xingtou was moved when he heard it.

"I see, it's a visionary person, no wonder I heard that in recent years, there is a small village near this Qingyangji that is very prosperous, I think it's your village!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the little leopard, and when he saw that he was happy, he said, "How did you feel just now, isn't it amazing!"

"Oh, yes, it's weird!" the little leopard was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Lao Xing Tou was referring to, and hurriedly said, "It's just-!"

"It's just that now that I look back on it, it's very difficult, and I can't find the feeling I had before, right?!"

"Yes!" the little leopard nodded hurriedly.

"Don't look at me, I don't have as much chance as you, I've never had an epiphany, I've just heard people say it!" Seeing the little leopard looking at him with a look of hope, Lao Xing was embarrassed for a while, "However, after this incident, you should have great experience in this hammering method, just stay here as an apprentice, but you have been wronged, I heard that you have learned martial arts, but it is true!"

"It's true, my brother-in-law used to be a soldier, and I practiced boxing and internal qi with him!" The little leopard's heart moved, and he said truthfully.

"Have you also practiced internal qi?!" Old Xing Tou was surprised again, originally he heard that the little leopard had practiced martial arts, but he only thought that he was practicing ordinary external skills, but he didn't expect that he had actually practiced internal qi.

"Have you cultivated your inner qi?!"

"I've already practiced it, but it's still short when I practice, so-!"

Before the words fell, Lao Xingtou's left hand reached out and grabbed his right hand in his hand, and then, a scorching internal breath entered from the veins of the little leopard.

The little leopard's expression changed, and before he could come to his senses, the fire qi in his body had already counterattacked.

"Hey, good boy, it turned out to be the internal qi of the fire line!" Sensing the counterattack of the internal qi in the little leopard's body, Lao Xingtou's face became more suspicious, and as soon as the internal qi rushed, he broke the inner qi of the little leopard.

This is also the result of the little leopard's deliberate restraint, otherwise, with his cultivation, he can also resist it.
