Chapter 3 The Funeral Valley Beauty Meets Strange Fate, True Love Is Hard to Collect (8)
Bai Yuxue officially worshipped He Zihan as her teacher, she changed her name to Bai Aole, and began to learn martial arts and swordsmanship from her master.
This is the first time He Zihan has accepted apprentices, she attaches great importance to the education of apprentices, and has spent a lot of energy and time teaching her lovely disciple.
Normally, He Zihan always called her apprentices "Ao Lei", omitting the surname in front of her name, she felt that calling her apprentice like this seemed more cordial, which could show Master Xiàn's love for her apprentice.
Of course, in terms of teaching her disciples to practice martial arts, He Zihan is very strict and serious, she insists on formulating a training plan for her apprentices every day, and at the same time, she requires her apprentice Ao Lei to complete the training tasks according to quality and quantity every day.
In terms of the way of practicing martial arts, He Zihan used a different method, she did not directly teach Ao Lei to practice martial arts moves, nor did she directly teach Ao Lei how to practice sword moves, but let Ao Lei start by cutting bamboo.
On the first five days, He Zihan asked Ao Lei to cut bamboo on the back mountain, and also asked Ao Lei to move the cut bamboo to the valley and pile the bamboo together for building a house.
Ao Lei was born in a family of eunuchs, she was very favored at home, and she was also very squeamish, she had never done any heavy work, this time her master asked her to cut bamboo and move bamboo, which made her tired enough.
After Ao Lei apprenticed, she imagined that she would soon learn very powerful martial arts from her master, and learn wonderful swordsmanship, so that she could walk around the rivers and lakes proudly and show her superb skills to others, but she didn't expect that after the master recruited her as a disciple, he didn't immediately teach her boxing and swordsmanship. Instead, let her do hard work, so that she cut bamboo and moved bamboo in the mountains, Ao Lei felt very dissatisfied with this, but she had just become He Zihan's apprentice, she didn't dare to disobey her master's orders, and she didn't dare to complain, she buried her head. Say it. Sullenly chopping bamboo, moving bamboo, sometimes, she would take advantage of her master did not see. Throwing bamboo out of anger.
The look and actions of Aolei. He Zihan saw it in his eyes. She knew Ao Lei's thoughts, and knew that Ao Lei was very dissatisfied with cutting and moving bamboo, but she deliberately did not explain Ao Lei. As always, Ao Lei is asked to complete the task of cutting and moving bamboo.
Five days later, He Zihan asked Ao Lei not to cut bamboo anymore, Ao Lei was very happy, she thought that the hard work was finally done, but He Zihan asked Ao Lei to do more work than to carry bamboo, she asked Ao Lei to carry a bundle of bamboo up the hill, and when she reached the top of the hillside, she carried the bundle of bamboo down the hill.
Ao Lei took a closer look, the hillside would not be less than a mile, and the bundle of bamboo weighed fifty pounds at least, and carrying this bundle of bamboo on her back every day was not to walk up and down the slope once, but to walk back and forth four times.
For the first two days, Ao Lei carried the bamboo uphill and downhill, she was exhausted, and after completing the task every day, she felt back pain, her legs were stiff, and at night, she lay on the bed with her hands and feet, and felt very painful.
After the third day, Ao Lei gradually got used to carrying the bamboo, and after a month, Ao Lei continued to carry the bamboo up and down the hill, at this time, she found that the bamboo on her back was much lighter than before, and she could easily go up and down the hill with the bamboo on her back.
At this time, Ao Lei was surprised to find that her body had strengthened, and the muscles in her hands and feet were stronger than before.
For two months, Ao Lei had been doing the same thing, that is, every day boring carrying the bamboo up the hill, and then walking down the hill, four times a day, and finally, one day, the master told her that the training task of carrying the bamboo was completed, and Ao Lei breathed a sigh of relief, she thought, this time she could rest for a few days, but she was not allowed to rest, and arranged a new training task for her.
At first, He Zihan handed Ao Lei two bamboos, each one one inch thick and three feet long, Ao Lei held these two bamboo poles, and the dance was not very laborious, she felt a little fun, her master required her to dance the bamboo pole four times a day, no less than four hundred times each time.
Ao Lei danced the one-inch thick and three-foot-long bamboo pole in various postures, although she was not much interested in dancing the bamboo pole repeatedly, but after all, it was easier and more fun than moving the bamboo and carrying the bamboo before, she thought to herself: "This dancing bamboo pole is more fun than carrying the bamboo, I hope that the future training project will become more and more interesting, the master's training of the disciple must be the method of 'first difficult and then easy', she wants the disciple to taste the bitterness first, and gradually give some fun." ”
However, what she actually encountered was not as Ao Lei thought, and after a few days of dancing with a one-inch thick and three-foot-long bamboo pole, her master brought two two-inch thick and six-foot-long bamboo poles and asked Ao Lei to continue practicing, and asked Ao Lei to continue practicing, and asked to practice the same number of times.
Ao Lei felt that her heart was not a taste, it turned out that her master's training method was not "difficult first and then easy", but "easy first and then difficult", one inch thick, three feet long, now it has become two inches thick, six feet long, this time, Ao Lei danced the bamboo to be much more laborious than before, this is not over, a few days later, her master changed the bamboo pole again, replaced with a bamboo pole two and a half inches thick, eight feet long, Ao Lei felt, this is even more difficult.
Ao Lei held a long bamboo pole every day, dancing in various postures, she often practiced exhausted, sometimes, she especially wanted to be able to pause for two days without practicing, lie down and sleep for two days, but, her master did not allow it, and after a few days, the bamboo pole was changed to thicker and longer, three months later, Ao Lei has been able to hold a bamboo pole three inches thick and one zhang long, dancing in style.
Ao Lei originally belonged to a weak and delicate woman, she didn't expect that under the supervision and guidance of the master, she could practice so much strength in such a short time, and be able to dance such a thick and long bamboo pole, Ao Lei looked at the three-inch thick and one-zhang long bamboo pole in her hand, she felt incredible, at this time she thought, although the practice is very hard, but the harvest is still very great, and now, Ao Lei has accepted He Zihan's training method.
Of course, Ao Lei was also a little scared, she was afraid that her master would make the bamboo pole thicker and longer, if it continued like this, it would definitely be unbearable. Ao Lei was thinking about it, her master was coming, Ao Lei looked carefully at the bamboo in her master's hand, she didn't understand, the bamboo pole her master was holding was only one inch thick and three feet long, and it was the bamboo pole she used when she danced the bamboo pole for the first time.
He Zihan handed the three-foot-long bamboo pole to Ao Lei, and said to Ao Lei: "Now, you use this small bamboo pole to practice again, experience it, what is the difference from before!"
Ao Lei took the three-foot-long bamboo pole and danced the bamboo pole with a variety of graceful movements, her movements were very skillful and smooth, her posture was very elegant, very elegant, she felt relaxed and free, and she danced very freely.
Ao Lei was still practicing with a bamboo pole that was one inch thick and one zhang long just now, and at this time she suddenly changed to such a short and thin bamboo pole to practice, in contrast, she was now holding this small bamboo pole, which seemed very relaxed, and she danced the bamboo pole very happily.
He Zihan smiled and said to Ao Lei: "How is it, you feel much more relaxed, right? You must be able to feel that practicing with this small bamboo pole now is not only much easier than when you practiced with a long bamboo pole just now, but also more relaxed than when you practiced with this small bamboo pole for the first time, which shows that your physique is stronger than before, and your arm strength has also increased, and at the same time, this also shows that this three-foot-long bamboo pole is very suitable for you to use." For martial arts warriors, the use of handy weapons can better play the martial arts, weapons, is to use the handy, in the future, you will use the double sword, and the two bamboo poles in your hands are almost the same, you should make it easy. ”
"Master, the disciple's future sword, if it is like these two bamboo poles, it would be great, it will really be very easy to use, it seems that the master previously asked the disciple to practice the long bamboo pole, in order to make the disciple feel more relaxed holding the short sword, it is a kind of 'difficult first and then easy' training method, is the disciple's understanding correct?"
"Learning martial arts and swordsmanship, what kind of training method to use, depending on the specific situation, the difficulty is relative, sometimes, you need to 'first easy and then difficult', sometimes you need to 'first difficult and then easy', from practicing long bamboo poles to practicing short bamboo poles, it is more difficult to practice in the front, and it is relatively easy to do it in the back, so you feel comfortable, but then, you must 'first difficult and then easy', Master asks you to continue to use these two one-inch thick, The three-foot-long bamboo pole exercises, however, you must tie short bamboo pipes to your arms and calves, and the bamboo pipes must be loaded with sand grains, so that when you practice, you will feel very heavy and difficult, but when you practice to a certain extent, remove the bamboo pipes, you will suddenly feel very relaxed, and when you dance the bamboo poles, you will definitely dance like flowing water. He Zihan explained.
"It's a good practice method of 'difficult first and then easy', Ao Lei likes it very much, Ao Lei must have endured hardships, and she will definitely be able to practice solid real skills!" Ao Lei said.
"In the next stage, according to what Master said, you tie bamboo pipes to your hands and feet, and put sand grains in the bamboo pipes, and when you train, you will continue to increase the sand grains from light to heavy, as for how much to add, and how long to add sand grains, you arrange it yourself, before the master must be supervising your training, but now the master is not supervising you, you consciously practice, arrange it yourself, the master will come to see your training effect every once in a while, and the master believes that you will be able to practice well. He Zihan said.
"Please rest assured, Master, the disciple will definitely train with all his heart, and he will definitely continue to put pressure on himself and strive to make faster progress!" Ao Lei said.
"Okay, Master is waiting to see the results of your training, and when you have practiced the basic skills of dancing short bamboo poles, Master will teach you the secret of sword practice of the 'Xuannu Youyun Sword', so that you can start to contact the mystery of the 'Xuannu Youyun Sword', you must practice hard, don't live up to Master's kindness!" He Zihan said thoughtfully.
Ao Lei suddenly felt that her master showed a very strange look today, and she felt strange in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it meant. (To be continued......)
