Since that night, Lin Yuanqing has worked during the day and practiced at night, and with Hong Er's guidance, he soon mastered the cultivation of internal strength within a month.

That night, Lin Yuanqing closed his eyes and sat on the side, Hong Er observed, only to see Lin Yuanqing's face flushed, and his clothes had a feeling of inflation and swelling from time to time, as if he was breathing like life, and slowly there was heat coming out of his body, and when the heat dissipated, his face gradually returned to normal.

Hong Er secretly said in his heart: "This kid is really talented, it takes at least three months for ordinary people to learn internal skills, and it is only a beginner, it takes half a year to fully master it, and he has practiced to such a point in a month, it's not easy." ”

Lin Yuanqing finished his work at this moment, slowly opened his eyes, there seemed to be an extra brilliance in his eyes, and his eyes became sharper, he stood up and bowed to Hong Er with a respectful face, and said, "I wonder if the master is satisfied with my practice results?"

Hong Er put his chin on his hand, and pretended to be contemplative: "Well, it's not bad, it seems that you have completely mastered it, although it is a little slower than being a teacher, but it is already very good compared to others of your age, and in the future, you will practice according to this mental method, and he will be in charge of his own strength in the future." “

Lin Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, immediately changed his face, looked at Hong Er pitifully and said, "Master, you see that I have completely mastered everything, is it time to take the next step?"

Hong Er laughed "poof", patted his head again, and said, "You kid has been thinking about my set of knife techniques all day long, Cheng, I think it's time to teach you." “

Lin Yuanqing touched his head and said, "Master, don't keep beating me in the head, if you are stupid, you won't be able to learn martial arts." “

"Don't talk nonsense, go, bring the knife to the teacher. “

"Okay!" Lin Yuanqing ran over and took their knives.

After Hong Er took the knife, he took two steps back, waved it vigorously, and said: "Originally, the Tangmen saber was a short knife two feet long and half a foot wide, lightweight, easy to carry, and could also attack quickly when fighting, while the saber on the army was a big knife four feet long and one and a half feet wide, and it was calm, full of strength when wielding, and the knife technique was simple, striving to hurt the enemy, it was originally two different weapons and knife techniques, after so many years of research, the two knife techniques were integrated together, and it can be regarded as a small success, you are optimistic, I will show you a demonstration." “

Hong Er said, shook his hand, the knife seemed to have life in his hand spinning, he held the handle of the knife, pulled a knife flower, stabbed forward flat, turned into a white light, like a meteor cut through the darkness in front of them, Hong Er's footsteps flashed and moved, the knife light kept changing around him, sometimes like the majestic river water pressed people out of breath, sometimes like a gentle breeze to make people feel comfortable, Lin Yuanqing looked at it with fascination, every time the knife light changed, he would exclaim softly.

After Hong Er put the knife into the sheath, Lin Yuanqing was still intoxicated by the shadow of the knife just now, Hong Er came over and snapped his fingers, Lin Yuanqing came to his senses, and excitedly grabbed Hong Er's hand and said: "Master, master, you were so handsome just now, and you were very fast, I was dazzled, teach me quickly." “

Hong Er smiled and said: "What's the hurry, isn't this just going to teach you, the original Soul Breaking Knife knife technique is faster and better-looking, but my knife has been lost, in order to adapt to the big knife, so I made some adjustments to the original knife technique." “

Lin Yuanqing looked at Hong Er with admiration and said, "Master, it turns out that you are so powerful, so why are you still the commander of the army? With your strength, you can completely hold an important position beside General Chen." “

Hong Er sighed and said: "Do you think everyone has always wanted to get ahead like you, since that injury, I have found out, I don't dream anymore, and I don't want to do anything earth-shattering, as long as people live, there are not so many constraints, usually bring recruits, drink and sleep in your spare time, and it's good to be free." “

After hearing this, Lin Yuanqing lowered his head thoughtfully and muttered in a low voice: "It's good for people to live, it's good for people to live... Alas... “

Hong Er touched his head and said, "Do you think of your eldest brother again?"

“。。。 If I hadn't pulled him in, he wouldn't have ... “

"Well, it's really your fault, but your eldest brother doesn't blame you, so you have to keep in mind the mistakes you made and warn yourself that you must never do it again in the future. “

Lin Yuanqing nodded fiercely.

Hong Er patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't mention these things, these days when you are practicing internal strength, I have summarized my improved Soul Breaking Knife Knife Technique, and I have written it down in this book, and each move has been annotated in detail, it is still the same, you first look at it and familiarize yourself, and then start to practice one move at a time, if you don't understand anything, come and ask me, and when you are proficient, you can find me to practice, and I will continue to go back to sleep." After speaking, he took out a book from his arms and threw it to Lin Yuanqing, yawned and walked away.

"Ahh Lin Yuanqing held the book and looked at Hong Er's back with a sad face.

In this way, Lin Yuanqing is constantly contacting the knife technique every day in addition to working and sleeping, even holding chopsticks to compare there when eating, and going to Hong Er every night to ask various questions, and soon Lin Yuanqing will remember and master the whole set of knife techniques, and Hong Er also secretly praised in his heart.

Hong Er saw that Lin Yuanqing was almost practicing, so he called him out one night and said, "Xiao Linzi, it seems that you have completely mastered this set of sword techniques now, but what about martial arts, this kind of thing needs actual combat to improve, and you can find your shortcomings through actual combat." “

"But, master, there is no war now, how can I fight?

"Are you stupid?" Hong Er took out an iron knife and a wooden knife from behind his back, threw the iron knife to Lin Yuanqing and said, "Next, your practice will have one purpose, hit me." ”

After Lin Yuanqing caught the iron knife, he said suspiciously: "Master, are you holding a wooden knife?"

"What do you say?" Hong Er rolled his eyes.

"Then I'm not taking advantage of this, besides... “

"Don't talk nonsense. Before Hong Er's words fell, he had raised his hand and stabbed over, Lin Yuanqing was a little nervous when he made a move with Hong Er for the first time, and Hong Er made a sudden move, not prepared, and hurriedly raised his knife to open this stab, the corners of Hong Er's mouth grinned, revealing a sinister smile, his arm exerted force, and the moment the two knives touched, he turned from a thorn to a horizontal split, and swept towards Lin Yuanqing's head, Lin Yuanqing couldn't dodge, his head was swept by a wooden knife, he took several steps back, threw away the knife in his hand in pain, and grinned and covered the position where he was attacked.

Hong Er stepped forward and struck another chestnut, this time Lin Yuanqing's tears almost came out, Hong Er waved his fist and said: "No matter how painful it is in the future, you can't throw the knife away, this is the basic quality of a person in the martial arts, do you hear?"

Lin Yuanqing was speechless in pain at the moment, so he could only squat on the ground and keep rubbing his head, and after a while, he raised his head and said aggrievedly: "Master, I haven't seen this move in the knife book just now, I remember that the trick 'Immortal Guiding the Way' in the knife technique should be followed by a move in the future if it is blocked by the horizontal knife block, 'draw the knife and cut off the water', take a step back, and change the knife to pick up, why don't you make a move according to the knife technique?"

"Na, this is what you have to learn, martial arts moves are originally dead, but the person who uses them is alive, if it is just a one-by-one practice move, then what is the difference between it and the stake man used for practice, there are many variations between a set of martial arts moves, and you have to learn and use it lively. “

After hearing this, Lin Yuanqing nodded thoughtfully, picked up the knife, put on a posture and said, "Master, let's continue." “

"Hmm. “

Lin Yuanqing looked at the wooden knife in Hong Er's body, smiled slyly, and took the first step towards the left side of Hong Er's body, Lin Yuanqing saw that Hong Er was using a wooden knife, the original intention was to force him to defend with a knife, and wanted to scrap his weapon first, who knew that Hong Er didn't plan to fight head-on, only to see him on tiptoe, his body floated backwards, Lin Yuanqing slashed the air with a knife, but did not retract his strength, he turned forward with the trend, his body rotated in the air, and the knife chased Hong Er again, Hong Er nodded after seeing it, and said, "Okay!" After speaking, with a turn of his wrist, the knife drew a semicircle in front of him, put the wooden knife on the side of the iron knife, stood diagonally on his side, and exerted his arm force, Lin Yuanqing watched the iron knife cut down obliquely along the wooden knife, cut off a piece of wood, and the iron knife in his hand slashed heavily on the ground.

Lin Yuanqing saw that he couldn't hit a blow, drew the knife and put it on his side, and stabbed straight at Hong Er's left leg, Hong Er snorted, his legs were forced, his body flipped to the left, and the wooden knife pointed directly at Lin Yuanqing's eyebrows and stabbed past, Lin Yuanqing could only retract his strength when he saw this, his body leaned back, and he wanted to dodge in the posture of an iron plate bridge, but he heard a "click" sound halfway up, and there was a sharp pain in his waist, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground, and at the same time, the wooden knife was also forced in front of him, "Bang" With a bang, Lin Yuanqing only felt that it was dark in front of him, rolled backwards, stopped and lay on the ground, holding his waist with one hand and covering his head with the other, and a cold sweat of pain broke out.

Hong Er ran over to help him up, and said with a smile: "Lin Shaoxia's posture just now is very peculiar, it looks like an iron plate bridge, but it seems to have a little more elegant, is it the major's own martial arts? I don't know what it's called? Can you teach me?"

Lin Yuanqing grinned in pain, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Master, you are too ruthless, I wanted to use the iron plate bridge to dodge just now, but my back hurt so badly that I didn't stand firmly, and I was almost fainted by you." “

Hong Er couldn't help but smile and said: "You are a halfway monk, everyone else started practicing martial arts when you were four or five years old, and your physical flexibility is definitely better than yours, I also said that actual combat is what makes you recognize your own shortcomings, so ah, you still have a long way to go, okay, let's practice here today, you also go back early to rest, take care of yourself, and practice again after a few days of recovery." “

"No, no, no, I can, you see, my waist is not a big problem, let's continue to practice. After Lin Yuanqing finished speaking, he endured the pain and twisted his waist.

Hong Er looked at him and said, "Okay, you take a break first, and adjust the content of the next exercises, I only defend, and I can only attack when I have to, and you can use various ways to let your knife hit me." “

"Isn't the master afraid that I will accidentally hurt you?"

"The stinky boy always thinks too much, if I can hurt a hairy boy who has only been learning martial arts for less than two months, then I won't be confused. “

Lin Yuanqing didn't say anything more after hearing this, sat on the stone and rested for a while, stood up and twisted his waist, and found that he had recovered, so he picked up the knife again and rushed towards Hong Er.

At this time, Hong Er just dodged left and right, and did not fight back, Lin Yuanqing also took this opportunity to let go of his hands and feet to attack with all his strength, the two of them passed more than a dozen moves, Hong Er retreated while dodging, and suddenly felt that his back hit something, and when he looked back, he saw that he had been forced to a tree, and said secretly in his heart: "Oh no." Turning his head to look, he saw Lin Yuanqing jumping up in the air, the handle of the knife in his hand turned, the back of the knife slashed downward, Hong Er raised the hand frame knife to block, the two knives intersected, only heard the sound of "bell", and there was no scene of the wooden knife breaking as Lin Yuanqing thought in his heart, but the knife in his hand was shaken and bounced, and he looked at the wooden knife in Hong Yuanqing in surprise.

Hong Er smiled and said, "Good boy, pay attention!"

Lin Yuanqing wanted to ask something more, but Hong Er didn't give him a chance, he held the knife and slashed straight down, Lin Yuanqing could only set up a knife to block horizontally, and there was a "bell" sound, Lin Yuanqing was even more surprised, this time he was facing upwards, and from the feeling of it, it was more like two iron knives colliding.

Hong Er slashed down one after another, Lin Yuanqing only felt that the speed of each slash was getting faster and faster, and the force of the slash was getting stronger and stronger, so that he could only parry hard, and his hand gradually trembled, just when he was thinking about whether to shout to give up, Hong Er jumped up, and swung down with a knife, which seemed to be a simple knife, but in Lin Yuanqing's eyes, it was like a mountain pressing him breathlessly, no matter how he dodged, it was useless, he used his left hand against the back of the knife, closed his eyes in resignation, and waited for the arrival of this knife.

His eyes were closed for a while, but there was no impact on the knife, and he secretly opened his eyes, and suddenly there was another powerful blow on his head.

"You dare to close your eyes when you compete with others?!

Lin Yuanqing hurriedly threw down the knife and ran to Hong Er's side, hugging his arm with a smile: "Master, master, why wasn't your wooden knife cut by me just now? And I feel that the force of your cut is getting heavier and heavier every time?"

Hong Er looked at Lin Yuanqing angrily, pulled away the hand he was holding his arm and said, "Silly boy, I forgot why I asked you to practice internal force at the beginning? After fighting for so long, you haven't thought about using internal force to urge your moves?"

Lin Yuanqing suddenly realized: "I see! No wonder Master, your moves are getting sharper and sharper." “

"Of course, the internal force is like air, not only can it run in the body, but it can also be attached to any object you touch, just now I also urged the internal force to attach to the wooden knife, so it was not cut by you, as long as your internal force is strong enough, you can even launch the internal force in the air to hurt people. “

"Oh, it turns out that there is still this kind of use of internal force, I haven't thought of it before. “

"Nonsense! These are all things that you need to understand slowly, you have never been exposed to martial arts before, and no one has taught you, of course you don't understand. “

"I don't have a master, hehe, thank you for your advice. “

Hong Eryi raised his eyebrows and said, "But you're not bad, you forced me out so quickly, and I'll fight back in the next practice." “

The next day, Lin Yuanqing walked into the room with a swollen nose and a swollen face, and the head of the gang was startled when he saw him, and hurriedly asked, "Yuanqing, what's wrong with your face?"

Lin Yuanqing's face flushed, covered his face and said, "No, no, the pigs in the pigsty fought last night, I went in to pull the rack, and the pigs arched over, and my face hit the pigsty fence." “

The man looked at him with interest and said, "Then how many times do you have to be arched to be like this, and it is really fateful to come out alive, hahaha." “

The more Lin Yuanqing listened, the redder his face became, grabbed the bucket beside him and ran out.

After the competition, Lin Yuanqing began to practice harder, and even when he slept and dreamed, his mind was full of scenes of fighting with Hong Er, constantly optimizing his moves and internal force consumption.

One night, Lin Yuanqing looked a little listless to go to Hong Er, Hong Er asked, replied that he didn't wake up, he didn't think much about it, the two just passed a few moves, Hong Er noticed a little wrong, shouted to stop and asked: "Xiao Linzi, how many hours have you slept every day recently?"

Lin Yuanqing said puzzledly: "Well, this is uncertain, if I still have the strength to go back every night, I will record the optimization of the moves I comprehended that day, and then compare it with the master's knife spectrum, and I will sleep when I am really sleepy, master, what's wrong?"

"How many days in a row?"

"Yes, I don't know why, it's especially easy to get sleepy these days, but it's okay, every time I get sleepy, I urge my internal force, and I instantly become energetic. “

After hearing this, Hong Er said, "Don't practice, you go back to sleep, and come to me when you don't get sleepy." “

After hearing this, Lin Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Master, it's okay, I'm just sleepy, as long as I use internal force, I won't be sleepy at all, it's still important to practice." As he spoke, he urged the internal force, but his eyes turned black and he fell.

Lin Yuanqing, who was in a coma, felt that there was a heat wave in his body rolling, gradually heating up, as if to melt him, when he wanted to shout loudly, this heat wave instantly cooled down, becoming extremely cold, feeling like falling into an ice cave, freezing him shivering, these two energies are constantly changing, slowly dividing into two strands, colliding and entangled, bound to devour each other, every collision will make the pain abnormal.

Suddenly, a very familiar warm current flowed from his back, slowly separating the entangled energy in his body, and wrapping the two energies, allowing them to slowly merge together, Lin Yuanqing also slowly woke up at this time, he turned his head with difficulty, and found that Hong Er was sitting cross-legged behind him at this time, holding his hands against his back, closing his eyes and exercising, and transporting the internal force into his body.

Lin Yuanqing slowly opened his mouth and said, "Teacher... Tutor... “

Hong Er interrupted him with a frown, and said sharply: "Don't speak!

Lin Yuanqing stabilized his mind and followed what Hong Er said.

After a long time, Lin Yuanqing felt that the two energies in his body were completely fused together, and they became familiar internal forces again, slowly flowing into the dantian and becoming calm.

Hong Er withdrew his hands and stood up, Lin Yuanqing only then found that Hong Er was covered in sweat, and his clothes were all wet with sweat.

Lin Yuanqing wanted to stand up, but found that his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't use his strength at all, and he just wanted to urge the internal force, but he was held down by Hong Eryi, and heard Hong Er shouting: "Do you want to die?!Do you know that you almost went crazy just now?!"

"That... Master, what do you mean by going mad?"

“。。。 “

Hong Er found a stone and walked over and sat down, and said helplessly: "I blame me for this, I didn't make it clear to you, the thing of going mad is simply another way of saying death." “

"Huh?!"

"This is complicated, let me give you a simple explanation of the internal force, everything in the world has two sides of yin and yang, there is day, there will naturally be night, there is sunshine, then there will also be shadows, people are also like this, there are two kinds of energy in the body, there are two kinds of energy in the body, ordinary people can not feel it at all, and we who practice martial arts are able to feel and mobilize these two energies through cultivation, internal force is obtained by constantly combining these two energies, you can understand that hot water and cold water are mixed together, it becomes warm water, and this warm water is what we call internal force。 “

"Well, I did feel two energies just now, one extremely hot and the other extremely cold. “

"Well, originally for ordinary people, these two energies are sleeping, and we martial arts practitioners need to forcibly guide them to generate internal force, so that we will face the danger of energy out of control, although I told you before that internal force can restore your physical strength, but the meridians in the human body, Spirits can't be restored using internal forces, but they are needed to control these energies, and if you force them when you are extremely tired or when you are suffering from internal injuries, this will cause the energy to get out of control and go crazy. Hong Er paused when he said this, and then said: "Originally, judging from your current internal force cultivation, I don't think there will be such a risk, I wanted to wait for your internal force cultivation to grow a little more before telling you, have you been cultivating since you went back at night recently?"

Lin Yuanqing scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Eh, I was originally a halfway monk, and I naturally can't catch up with people who have practiced martial arts since childhood, others can be a teacher at the age of fifteen or sixteen, do I have to wait until I am in my thirties to become a teacher, I am unwilling." After saying that, he clenched his fists.

Hong Er stood up after hearing this, his face softened a lot, and said: "You remember what I often say, people can only do anything as long as they live, don't waste your previous efforts in order to catch up with a little time, you can rest for a few days, and then come to contact me when your spirit is completely recovered." “

“。。。 “

"Don't talk nonsense!

"Oh... “
