In the early morning of the next day, Li Jiu came over early and introduced Li Chongyuan to the senior brothers, Mingxindong can be described as a thin population, there are only six disciples, in addition to the senior brother Li Jiu, that is, the second senior brother Chen Xing, the third senior brother Wuge, the fourth senior brother Wang Meng, the fifth senior brother Zhao Ya and the sixth senior sister Zilan, what makes Li Chongyuan strange is that the third senior brother Wuge is actually a blonde and blue-eyed Hu man, and the sixth senior sister Zilan is the daughter of the master Zi Wuxuan.

Senior brother Li Jiu told him that various ethnic groups near the Tianshan Mountains lived together, and some Hu people admired the Central Plains and joined the Tianshan faction. As for the sixth senior sister Zilan, it is because although the master is a Taoist priest, the Taoist priests of the Tianshan faction only accept Taoist ideas and are not bound by Taoist precepts, so they do not taboo meat and bloody marriages, and it is also ethical for the master to have a daughter. Li Chongyuan looked at everyone and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Senior brother, where is the senior sister? Why don't you see the senior lady here?" ”

Li Jiu's face changed, and he immediately said solemnly: "In the future, no one in Tianshan will be able to mention the matter of Shi Niang, we don't have Shi Niang." As for when to practice and what the progress is, the master does not ask, there is an evaluation every six months, and after the evaluation, the master will decide whether to teach the new exercises or continue to practice the original exercises according to the results of the evaluation. Since Li Chongyuan was just getting started, the task of teaching kung fu fell on the senior brother.

And Li Chongyuan's training is to carry ice cubes.

The water used to eat in Mingxin Cave is carried from a clear water pool ten miles below the peak, because the mountain road is steep, the water is easy to splash, so every time the water is poured into the skin bag and frozen into ice cubes and then carried up the mountain. I have to carry it ten times a day. And on the way, you have to practice walking with mixed yuan skills. The difficulty can be imagined.

Although this ice cube on its back seems to be hard labor, it is very beneficial to practice, the ice cube is cold and heavy through the bones, and the mixed yuan gong will stimulate the instinct, absorb the true qi of heaven and earth, protect the meridians of the body, and prevent the cold from invading. And the characteristics of the human body are that the greater the external pressure, the faster the internal breath runs, and the faster the growth of power will naturally be. Under the collision of the meridians for a long time, the second pulse of Ren Du, which was originally extremely difficult to get through, often after practicing the mixed yuan gong for three or five years, can be achieved overnight with a casual gong, and the second pulse of Ren Du will be connected as follows. The martial artists of the Central Plains often falsely rumored that the Tianshan Sect had a panacea that stimulated power, but in fact, where was the panacea, it was just that they were more suffering than others. Even the leaders of those caves sometimes carry the ice themselves to consolidate their skills, hoping for new breakthroughs.

Although Li Chongyuan's body is weak, his temperament is extremely tough. Ask for the path, pick up the skin and go down the mountain.

Needless to say, the hardships suffered along the way, and by the time the ten trips were finished, it was already dark. Hurriedly ate surplus food in the cafeteria, and fell asleep when tired.

If you persist for half a year, your physique is getting stronger and stronger, you can only carry a small piece of ice at a time, and you have to carry it until midnight to complete ten trips, and you are tired to death, but now it is carrying a huge ice cube weighing 300 catties, and you can also run on the mountain road in one phase Mixed Yuan Gong and one phase run like flying, as long as you can carry ten times in two hours, and you will no longer fall asleep after reciting, but wander around. Occasionally, I wonder what Ma Beibei and Huang Shan are doing, probably on the back ice, in fact, he was right, they were indeed on the back of the ice. It's just that Ma Beibei has excellent qualifications, and his results have far surpassed him, and even Huang Shan, although the weight of the ice on his back is not as good as him, his running speed has surpassed him.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of the evaluation, in fact, everyone is practicing separately on weekdays, and the huge snow peaks rarely meet, and it is rare to gather today, Master Zi Wuturbid, and glanced around at everyone. beckoned Li Chongyuan.

Zi Wuxun waited for him to stand still, and then pushed over with a flat palm when his chest was flat, this palm was extremely slow, even if he had not learned martial arts, he could avoid it.

Li Chongyuan didn't learn the moves, but he knew that this was the master's test of his martial arts, but he didn't dare to hide aside, so he could only push his palms against it, and as soon as the two palms touched, in an instant, a strong force rushed from the palm of his hand, Li Chongyuan only felt that his five organs and six organs were squeezed and moved, and he was disgusted and disgusted. After taking a few steps backwards, he barely stood firm, took a breath, and immediately launched a counterattack when he mixed the Yuan Gong, but this force hit Zi Wuyun's palm force like a mantis arm blocking a car. Just as the eyes of the pressed eyes turned black, the force suddenly disappeared. Li Chongyuan's strength failed, and he staggered to the ground. His face was as yellow as paper, and he couldn't stop panting.

The brothers looked at him with concern.

Zi Wuxun said lightly, "It's not good, but the first kung fu has passed, and the foundation has been laid, Li Jiu, you can teach him the second kung fu tomorrow." Okay, Seventh, you step down, the senior brothers practice martial arts, you can't wait for it, it's useless to see more. Li Chongyuan hurriedly got up and retreated. Early the next morning, Li Jiu came to look for him, Li Jiu had a bruise on his face, presumably during the evaluation yesterday, he suffered a lot, Li Jiu didn't say it, of course Li Chongyuan turned a blind eye.

The second level of the Mixed Yuan Gong is far more complex than the first one, the first is actually forced by external forces, and the breath is used to guide the internal breath to run on its own, but this second level of the exercise is to guide the inner breath to walk the meridians with the mind, and the method of practicing from the second to the ninth level is becoming more and more complicated, not only the walking meridians are very different, but even the time of practice is also particular. The advantage is that since the second mixed yuan gong, you can also practice other martial arts, because the acquired vitality has been stabilized, and practicing the martial arts will not hurt the innate vitality.

Therefore, after the senior brother Li Jiu taught him the second exercise, he taught him a set of wind and thunder palms. This set of wind and thunder palms seems simple, there are only twelve styles, but each style is divided into mother fist and sub-fist according to the heavenly and earthly branches, and can be derived into sixty styles after arranging them in turn, with many variations. Therefore, it is also called "the wind and thunder palm of the heavenly stem and the earth". The longer you practice, the deeper your understanding becomes. This wind and thunder palm has three realms: just wind thunder, soft wind thunder, and wind thunder.

When I first practiced this skill, I gradually heard the sound of wind and thunder whistling when I made a move, until it was like Jin Ge breaking through the air, which was just wind and thunder. After the sound of breaking the sky gradually became inaudible, and then silent but fast as a ghost, it is for the soft wind and thunder, practice to the realm, then the sound of wind and thunder is dispensable, as you like, when you make a move, you are just when you are weak, and you are soft when you are strong. The changes in rigidity and softness are unpredictable, and practicing to such a realm is to turn wind and thunder.

Although there were not many Wind and Thunder Palm moves, the changes were extremely complicated, so it was not until fifteen days later that these martial arts skills were memorized. After Li Jiu finished teaching him, he hurriedly cultivated by himself.

Every day, in addition to running the mixed yuan gong to the back ice under the mountain, Li Chongyuan is practicing the wind and thunder palm.

This time, the back ice is different from before, it used to be filled with water in a skin bag and frozen into ice. This time, however, he used the power of his palm to knock down the ice cubes from the cliff at the edge of the pool, put the ice cubes into the skin, and then used the Wind and Thunder Palm moves to move his palms like the wind, punches and kicks, and hit the ice cubes into ice ballast, which then turned into water, and then froze again.

Each time, it took a thousand hits to turn into water, and both hands were red and swollen and painful to the bone marrow, and by the time the ten ice backs were finished, it was already midnight. It's not that he didn't want to give up, but every time he wanted to give up, his parents' loving faces would appear in front of him, and he immediately mustered up the courage to persevere. Time flies, and a few months later, as his skills get stronger, the homework of carrying the ice is completed earlier and earlier, and Li Chongyuan also has time to practice on the peak.

On this day, he came back from the ice to see the sunset in the west, a touch of sunset hung in the sky, reflecting the large and small snow peaks near and far such as gilded silver, he couldn't help but shout good, walked to a clearing, moved his body for a while, and then tied his body and feet, tightened his hips and chests, and put on the momentum of wind and thunder. He shouted: "The golden drums are ringing in unison!" turned around and rode a horse with two legs and squatted in the crotch pose, struck out with both palms, and then shouted "Dark clouds cover the top!" and slapped down with one palm, hitting the stone slab on the ground, and the ice ballast stone chips scattered in all directions. The mouth does not stop, and the hands do not stop. Knock the wind and thunder all the way down. But I heard the wind whirring in my ears. The more I fight, the more comfortable I feel. slapped the wind and thunder dozens of times in one breath. After the fight, one closed the momentum, sweating hotly, and the whole body was full of Tai. I couldn't help laughing and said, "What a thunderstorm!" Before the words fell, there was a "sneering" laughter behind him.

Looking back, a young girl was standing behind, and it turned out to be the sixth senior sister Zilan.

Zi Lan had just come back from practice, dressed in a pink suit, her cloud-like hair was tied with a goose-yellow handkerchief, she was carrying a long sword in her hand, and her creamy white face was slightly flushed, looking beautiful under the caress of the sunset. Although Li Chongyuan is just a teenager and has no love thoughts, he can't express the joy in his heart when he sees it. Li Chongyuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Zilan smiled and pointed her finger at the door of his head, and said with a smile: "Children can actually sell melons and boast about themselves." After only practicing dozens of times, I sweated like pulp and panted like a cow. What kind of wind and thunder is this, it has its shape in vain, and it has no meaning. "There is a smile in his eyes.

Although Zilan is Zi Wuyun's daughter, she is by no means the slightest coquettish, one is that Zi Wutur's heart is as flat as water and she never spoils her daughter, and the other is that Zilan is extremely kind and soft-hearted. Since Li Chongyuan went up the mountain, out of the nature of her daughter's family, she has treated Li Chongyuan as a little brother.

This time I met by chance on the road, and I saw Li Chongyuan practicing with a cute and cute attitude, and he was proud. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Li Chongyuan said unconvinced: "Senior sister, you said that my Wind and Thunder Palm has its shape in vain, you have no intention, can you try it?"

Zilan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Little brother, come, take a look at Sister A's strong wind and thunder." With that, he put down his sword and walked on.

I saw that she was concentrating slightly, and then her palms came out together, which was the first type of "golden drum in unison". Although the moves are the same, the momentum is very different from Li Chongyuan's "Golden Drums Singing in unison". The momentum between the moves is magnificent, the fists and feet sweep through the air and make a "woo" stirring sound, and after a few moves, the momentum is even stronger, and there is a "sigh" Jin Ge breaking the air, faintly with the power of a tiger roaring and a dragon's groan. The violent aura swept away the ice and snow within a radius of dozens of steps, turning into snow powder and sprinkling it on the sky. The air flow even forced Li Chongyuan back a few steps. In an instant, the wind and thunder have been slapped dozens of times, and the land has been raised, and there is silence between the heavens and the earth for an instant, only the "rustling" sound of snowflakes quietly falling.
