Seven days.
This was the seventh day after Sun Yixie became a disciple of the "Two Immortals of the Sea of Clouds", and it was also the most painful seven days in his life.
Seven days ago, when Sun Yixie served Zhao Yunlong the bowl of hot fried noodles, he thought that with his cooking skills, he should be satisfied and even impressed.
Unexpectedly, the old man only tasted it and thought his cooking was too spicy, so he asked him to eat the bowl of fried noodles by himself.
Brother Sun has something to ask for, and he has no choice but to do it.
Of course, after Brother Sun finished the bowl of spicy fried noodles with tears in his eyes, Zhao Yunlong indeed agreed to accept him as his disciple.
In this way, Sun Yixie officially became the disciple of the Second Immortal of Yunhai and began his cultivation career on this "Two Immortal Island".
…………
The first day was the day Sun Yixie became his disciple.
When he finished eating spicy fried noodles, it was only in the morning, and his practice had already begun from this moment.
On this day, the task assigned to him by the two masters was to "work."
From housework such as cleaning the house, washing clothes, and cooking, to running to fetch water from a nearby water source, to chopping wood to light a fire... Anyway, Sun Yixie did all the work he could do inside and outside the house.
While doing it, Sun Yixie also thought: This may be similar to some of the practice scenes he has seen in TV series before. The masters seem to ask you to do chores, but in fact, these chores already include The basics of various martial arts such as hard kung fu, soft kung fu, palm techniques, and kick techniques can also hone one's endurance and character.
Therefore, he endured it.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening, when Sun Yixie, who was too tired to straighten up, sat down at the dinner table and started eating the leftovers of the two old men.
Then Master Zhao suddenly asked: "Boy, after a busy day today, have you gained anything?"
When Sun Yixie heard this, he thought to himself that this was an opportunity to show off his intelligence, so he went over and over again what he had been thinking about.
Master Zhao and Chen really laughed after hearing this.
After he finished laughing, Master Zhao said: "Wrong."
Sun Yixie asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
"Everything is wrong." Master Zhao replied, "If you think about it carefully, if doing odd jobs can be regarded as practicing martial arts, then wouldn't those handymen and long-term workers who make a living by doing odd jobs all year round become martial arts masters? Already?"
After saying this, he looked at Sun Yixie and saw that the other party was thoughtful, so he continued: "Let me put it bluntly, 'doing chores is also practicing martial arts', this matter is originally a matter of martial arts. One of the most ridiculous consensuses; if you ask me, it is a trick that many black-hearted sects headed by Shaolin came up with in order to exploit the labor of their disciples... As long as they "temper their character" and "lay the foundation" With such excuses, they can justifiably let the new disciples do chores for several years for nothing. If there are those who can't persist, they will use you as an excuse that you are "impatient and can't bear hardships", and even the new disciples will be punished. I don’t even teach you Kung Fu, so I’ll drive you away.”
After hearing this sentence, Sun Yixie was also thinking: It seems to make sense...
So does this really make sense?
Really.
As modern people, we can actually understand when we think about it. If we only talk about "training the body and laying the foundation", then the exercise efficiency that can be achieved by doing chores is obviously very low.
If you really want to practice cardiopulmonary function and endurance, then you can skip rope, ride a bicycle, or swim; if you want to practice arm strength, there are pull-ups and dumbbells; if you want to practice legs, you can do weight-bearing squats, leg presses...
Modern gyms have basically summarized the most efficient ways to exercise various parts of the body. This is it. If the posture is improper or the exercise is done too hard, it is easy to get injured.
And in many martial arts worlds, people are still superstitious about carrying water, chopping firewood, sweeping the floor and other activities to achieve the purpose of exercise... Who are you going to argue with this? If you do this every day, it is normal to strain your lumbar muscles.
"Then..." After Sun Yixie figured this out, he asked, "Why did the two masters ask me to do so many chores today?"
"Let's just see if you can figure out that you are wasting your efforts." Master Zhao continued, "The result is that you really thought wrong..." He paused, finished the last bite of his bowl, and put down the bowl. Then he said, "...you must be punished!"
"That's right." Master Chen also agreed, "Force him to wash the dishes."
Snapped--
At that time, Sun Yixie slapped his chopsticks on the table and stood up: "Damn it! I've been serving you all day, and it turns out that all my efforts were in vain? And I'm going to punish you because I didn't realize that my efforts were in vain." I?"
If this person is very angry, his voice will also be loud. If you have a loud voice, it is easy for people to think that you are aggressive. And once you make Zhao and Chen feel that you are aggressive... you may We are about to encounter a wave of over-defense.
Soon after speaking, just as the last two words of Brother Sun's words were spoken, his feet had been stepped on by Zhao Yunlong from under the table. At the same moment, Chen Haihuang had already punched him in the face. On the liver area.
Brother Sun groaned and lay on the ground at that time. Immediately afterwards, the impact of the punch penetrated into his stomach layer by layer, causing his stomach to spasm and turning up everything he had just eaten. Yes, it flowed all over the place.
"Alas, today's young people are really ignorant." Zhao Yunlong said, and slowly stood up, "Today we have exposed such a major scam for you in the world, so that you can avoid making more detours in the future. You But you want to lose your temper?"
"That's it, just lie there and reflect on yourself." Chen Haihuang also stood up and said, "When you have finished reflecting on it, get up and wash the dishes and wipe the floor clean. We will go and rest first. You have finished cleaning up. Also go to bed early, there will be something new to teach you tomorrow."
After the two old men finished speaking, they went back to their respective rooms.
As for Sun Yixie, he rested on the ground for two or three minutes before regaining his breath. He got up and wiped the dust and vomit from his face.
Then, he sat there, thinking for a long time, and finally did as the two masters said, mopped the floor, washed the dishes, and then went back to his room to rest...
…………
the next day.
The genius was bright, but Sun Yixie was kicked in the butt.
The force of this kick is exquisite. It is not heavy or painful, but it is enough to kick Sun Yixie out of the bed. He spins 720 degrees in mid-air, and then falls with a squeak. to the ground.
Of course, if he just fell to the ground, it would be nothing to Sun Yixie. After all, he was also a martial arts practitioner with excellent internal skills. Not to mention being kicked off the bed, even if it was from the third or fourth floor. You won't die even if you fall from a high building.
However... Master Chen who kicked him didn't just kick him directly, but instead kicked him after he had placed a bunch of debris of different shapes and sizes on the ground.
Like gourds, wooden spoons, chopping boards, chopstick holders, washbasins, washboards... Anyway, they are a bunch of objects that cannot be crushed, or it does not matter if they are crushed.
When Sun Yixie fell, because the person was lying sideways, the force was relatively dispersed, so he didn't suffer any injuries, but the pain was definitely... It was like stepping on a cobblestone-covered ground without shoes. It means the same thing on uneven roads.
"ah--"
Since Sun Yixie was suddenly kicked awake while he was sleeping, he was unprepared, so even if his body instinctively jerked and tightened his muscles slightly when he was in mid-air, it still hurt terribly when he fell on the pile of debris. , couldn't help shouting.
"What are you doing! Killing people?" The words that Brother Sun yelled out immediately afterward were more of a scream of fear than anger rather than out of anger.
"Hey~ Yixie, you are too lax." Master Chen stood on his bed, looking at him as if nothing had happened, and raised his finger to point to the ground, saying calmly, "If there is a knife under this, you have already Dead."
Sun Yixie was shocked when he heard this: "Nonsense! Can I not relax when I sleep? Why didn't you say that you just took a knife to chop me, and I was already dead?"
"Really?" Master Chen said, and he took out a kitchen knife from behind.
"You...you really have it with you?" Sun Yixie broke into a cold sweat at that moment.
He originally thought that the other party was really going to chop him with his next move. Unexpectedly, Master Chen turned the blade around and stretched the handle towards him: "Here, take it."
"What for?" Sun Yixie was stunned, "You want me to cook?"
"No." Master Chen paused, "I asked you to kill people."
"Ah?" Sun Yixie couldn't keep up, "Who to kill?"
"Besides you and me, there is only one person left here. Who do you want to kill?" Master Chen replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What?" Sun Yixie's little eyes widened, "What do you mean? Killing someone with a borrowed knife?"
"Who are you going to kill?" Master Chen curled his lips in disgust, "Can you still kill Zhao Yunlong? I'm asking you to 'chop him', do you understand?"
Sun Yixie fell into confusion.
"Maybe... I don't quite understand." Sun Yixie choked out these words after a few seconds.
"Hey!" Master Chen said, "Don't you understand this?" He could only explain, "Didn't you just say that you will relax when you sleep, and that you would be dead if you were slashed with a knife at that time? Then take advantage of it now Lao Zhao hasn't gotten up yet, go and chop it down and try it."
"Huh?" Sun Yixi said.
"Don't panic, I asked you to chop it, I'll take care of it if you need anything." Master Chen said, and once again passed the kitchen knife forward.
As for Sun Yixie, he always felt that there was a conspiracy: "No... the shout I made just now may have woken up Master Zhao."
"No way~" Master Chen shook his head immediately, "He slept like crazy. He didn't even wake up when there was thunder. How can you have such a voice like yours?"
"This..." Sun Yixie still hesitated, "What if I really hack him to death?"
"Hmph... let's bury him together." Master Chen sneered, "What a big deal?"
It seemed that he really didn't think Sun Yixie could pose any threat to Zhao Yunlong.
"Okay! You said so!" Sun Yixie was also very timid at this time. He took the kitchen knife and turned around and went out to Master Zhao's room next door.
Looking at what he meant, I wanted to kill this guy yesterday... Now there was a critical moment. Master Chen asked him to do it, so if he didn't do it, it would be in vain.
To make a long story short, Sun Yixie sneaked in, opened the door and entered the house, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of Zhao Yunlong's bed.
Then Master Zhao is really sleeping soundly as Master Chen said.
However, Sun Yixie is not stupid either. Who knows if the other party is pretending to sleep? Therefore, he did not rush to take action, but first hid the kitchen knife behind his back, put his face in front of Master Zhao, and gently blew into the other person's eyelids.
If the other party is pretending to sleep, then using this method, his eyelids will shake, but the person who is really sleeping will not have any reaction to this.
As a result, Zhao Yunlong's eyelids did not move.
Now Sun Yixie was relieved. At that time, he picked up the back of the knife and swung it towards the opponent's chest.
While taking action, he also shouted from the bottom of his heart: "Rebel! Go and die!"
Bang——
The next second, Sun Yixie felt his eyes go dark.
By the time he opened his eyes again, it was already broad daylight.
This... is the topic he came into contact with today - how to naturally avoid danger and even fight back while being relaxed.
Someone must be complaining when they see this. Isn't it so special that you are so comfortable with your mind? It's not scientific.
Yes, it's unscientific, but I don't intend to explain anything more.
In addition, Sun Yixie's tasks that day did not end there. When he woke up, Master Chen asked him to "return" all the debris scattered on the floor of his room.
Sun Yixie didn't understand the meaning of "returning to one's place" at first, thinking it meant "cleaning up."
As a result, after he packed it up, Master Chen asked him: "What is 'returning'? Returning means where these things were placed yesterday, and today you have to put them in the same position, facing Nothing can be changed.”
Sun Yixie was dissatisfied when he heard this: "I've only been here for one day, can I remember where so many messy things were placed yesterday?"
Master Chen asked back: "You did chores all day yesterday. When you were cleaning the room, cooking, and washing clothes, you should have used all the things I took out today, right? It's just one day since you Have you forgotten? Are you blind or stupid? Stop talking nonsense! Go take those things out one by one and put them back in place. If you don't put them properly, you won't have dinner."
Sun Yixie was dumbfounded: Is co-writing yesterday's pile of housework a foreshadowing to test my "memory" and "eyesight"? So I have to use my brain when eating, drinking, sleeping or working? If I were to relax a little, I would be wrong again?
In short, after several attempts, Sun Yixie still failed to have dinner that day, but he successfully memorized all the details in the room.
…………
The third day.
The night before, Sun Yixie basically didn't sleep well. He was always on guard against being kicked out of bed.
However, Master Chen did not come today.
After dawn, Sun Yixie heard some movement outside and walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes.
"Huh? What's going on?" Brother Sun was confused again when he saw a hot breakfast ready on the table in the living room.
"What are you doing standing around? Come and eat." Master Zhao, who was already seated, waved to Sun Yixie.
After Master Chen brought the last side dish from the kitchen, he also took off his apron and sat down.
Sun Yixie sat down with hesitation and began to eat cautiously.
During the whole breakfast process, he was on guard against whether the two old men would suddenly splash him with hot porridge or sweep the bench under his buttocks with his sweeping legs.
But nothing happened until he tensed up and finished the meal.
"Could it be that after the torture of the past two days, they finally decided to teach me a lesson today?" Sun Yixie was thinking this.
"Yixie, today is different from the past two days." Master Zhao said, "Today I want to teach you a trick." As he spoke, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the door, "I I see you’ve almost eaten, come on, come with me to the beach.”
When Sun Yixie heard this, he said, "Okay, this is enough to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight!" When I go to the beach, I really want to start practicing.
"Okay!" So he immediately agreed, walked to the door in one stride, nodded and bowed and opened the door for Master Zhao, "Master, please."
Bang——
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Yunlong kicked Sun Yixie out with a roundhouse kick.
And outside the door, there are the steep and narrow stone steps...
…………
The fourth day.
Because he was slightly injured, Sun Yixie lay in bed from yesterday morning until this morning.
Seeing this, someone must have asked again: Are these two old men deliberately trying to trick people under the guise of being disciples? After being tortured like this, can Brother Sun endure it?
But Sun Yixie knew very well that this was not a malicious attack, because he could indeed feel that... he was learning new things every day, and they were all very valuable and could never be learned in ordinary teachers. thing.
For example, the trick that Zhao Yunlong taught him yesterday, although most of you will complain that it is "Invincible Hot Wheels" when you see it, it is not... it is a high-level "psychological tactic" with long-term foreshadowing.
Sun Yixie may not be very talented in many aspects, but when it comes to "crooked ways", he is undoubtedly a genius - a genius who can draw inferences from one example and learn from one thing.
Because of this, he could strongly feel a temperament in the two immortals of Yunhai that was very suitable for him to refine.
Based on the experiences of the past few days, Sun Yixie has realized in his heart: Master Zhao and Master Chen are both "the best among bad guys". If he can get their true inheritance, it will be of great help to him in the future.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the time when Sun and Huang were plotted by Chang Youfeng in the inn in Dengzhou City. If Sun Yixie had already practiced at the Erxian of Yunhai at that time, Huang Donglai would still be needed. "Netherworld Chasing Soul" to save? He won't be tricked at all.
…………
Day five.
After a day's rest, the early morning sneak attack came again.
This time, Sun Yixie was prepared... Before going to sleep, he got a thin thread that was basically invisible in the dark, tied one end to his little finger, and connected the other end to the corner of the door.
Today, as soon as Master Chen came in, Sun Yixie woke up.
As soon as the opponent approached the bed, Brother Sun stood up from the bed and suddenly struck with the "Flying Dog in the Sky" move from the Dragon Dog Boxing Technique.
Chen Haihuang was surprised and delighted by such a sneak attack. He immediately stretched out his arms and pushed the opponent down from the air with a huge force.
When Sun Yixie saw that he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, he immediately changed his moves and grabbed Master Chen's wrist in mid-air, stretched his feet forward and clamped them, and made a flying triangle.
When Chen Haihuang saw that this kid was trying to play this trick with him, he became interested, so he temporarily withdrew his inner strength, and instead of using the method of crushing with force to break the move, he cooperated with Brother Sun to enter the ground battle.
Immediately afterwards, the two began to have a sexual interplay.
It is said that "Xie Quan Dao" is the martial art that Brother Sun has practiced the most diligently and most proficiently among the Sun sect's unique skills. Compared with the "Dragon Dog Boxing" and "Punching Gate Divine Fist", this is the martial art that Sun has mastered. Brother's special skills.
However, compared with Chen Haihuang, he still pales into insignificance.
As we have said before, in this martial arts world, due to the existence of internal strength, there are almost no people who use this kind of fighting method similar to mixed martial arts, and when it comes to the competition between masters, this method is useless; Sun Yi At first, Xie only used this set of tools to bully his opponents in the first few rounds of the Young Heroes Conference, but when he met a true master like Song Zhixiu, he couldn't touch him at all.
However, Chen Haihuang took this fighting method to a new level.
If a person with high internal strength also fights in this way, then he can make a qualitative change in many moves in mixed martial arts; many submission techniques that originally took a certain period of time to be formed... may become instantaneous, and can even be used instantly. Killing moves.
Of course, when dealing with Sun Yixie at this moment, Chen Haihuang didn't use this kind of move. He also deliberately didn't use his internal strength. He just relied on ordinary tricks to defeat Sun Yixie in a short time.
"Boy, your response today is pretty good." After subduing Sun Yixie, Chen Haihuang said leisurely, "But if I were you, I would hold a handful of sand in my arms and confuse the other person's eyes before taking action. "
"Hmph... then you wait." Sun Yixie said, "I may prepare something more interesting than sand tomorrow."
"I may not come tomorrow." Master Chen said with a smile, "Anyway, just be on guard. Once you get used to 'guarding against thieves for a thousand days', you will become someone who can't be killed even if someone slashes you with a knife while you are sleeping." ”
"Okay~ Just be careful." Sun Yixie said he would not lose.
…………
Day six.
In the early morning, in a quiet house, Sun Yixie held a cloth bag filled with pebbles in one hand and gently and slowly pushed open the door of Master Chen's room with the other hand.
Although Brother Sun doesn't know how to use concealed weapons, with his arm strength and the bonus of internal strength, the force of throwing a large handful of stones is enough for the opponent to drink a pot.
The key is that in the small space indoors, this kind of attack is probably harder to dodge than the scatter of a shotgun.
Sun Yixie was very confident in his plan and vowed to defeat Lao Chen today.
Step by step... Brother Sun stepped into the door very carefully.
But he had just taken two steps forward when, in the darkness, a cold object pressed against his temple.
"I knew you were going to be the guest today." The next second, Chen Haihuang's voice came from behind the door.
Sun Yixie slowly turned his head: "Master, what are you pushing against my head?"
When he asked this question, he actually did not realize the seriousness of the problem, because according to his stereotype, in this era, he would not be threatened by hot weapons, so he instinctively thought that the thing pressing against his temple was just Some kind of blunt-ended cold weapon.
"Short gun." But Master Chen's answer was short, but terrifying.
"Short..." Sun Yixie repeated these two words while taking a sideways glance at the cold color reflected by the metal and wood barrel under the illumination of the moon.
"What the hell?" Brother Sun was shocked when he saw that the other person was holding a gun. He hurriedly stepped aside, "Master, don't be kidding me! It's no joke if this thing goes off."
"Haha..." Master Chen smiled and slowly moved the muzzle of the gun away, "He is a young master from a wealthy family after all. I knew you knew this thing."
Sun Yixie had almost stopped thinking at this time: "Master, where did you get this short gun?"
"Damn, what can't be stripped off those Japanese pirates and pirates?" Master Chen replied, "Do you think you are the only one who has drifted to this island for so many years?"
After he said this, Sun Yixie reacted: "Yes... there are many things in this room that cannot be made with raw materials on the desert island. That means that not only people have come here, but also ships have come here." Get over it."
Thinking of this, Sun Yixie thought of something else, and then he said: "Uh... Master, then those people who have been to the island..."
"Don't worry, we are not cannibals. We can't kill all the people, right?" Master Chen knew what Sun Yixie was thinking, and he replied calmly, "We have killed some. Yes, and they are all bad people, you see... we didn’t kill a good person like you, right?"
"What about those good people in the past?" Sun Yixie asked again.
"I left by boat." Master Chen replied.
"Ah? So this island is connected to the outside by boat?" Sun Yixie asked in surprise.
"No way." Master Chen replied, "But sometimes there will be big ships passing nearby. At that time, Lao Zhao and I can row the small boats on the island to get to the big ships and put the people who have drifted on the island onto the big ships. Exchange some supplies with the other party and then bring them back."
"Oh..." When Sun Yixie heard this, a stone fell from his heart.
Originally he was still worried about whether he could return to the Central Plains after studying here, but now that he heard this, he felt much more at ease.
"Okay, stop asking questions." Master Chen quickly interrupted Sun Yixie's thoughts, "Do you know why I used this to control you today instead of making a sneak attack with my bare hands?"
"Are you trying to tell me that no matter how high your martial arts is, it is not as good as a foreign gun? As long as it can kill the opponent, it is still a 'martial arts'?" Sun Yixie continued.
"Oh~ I'm actually right." Master Chen was also a little surprised, "Okay, boy, you have a very high level of understanding. Then I think... it's time for Lao Zhao to teach you 'that'."
…………
The seventh day.
That morning, Sun Yixie finally "walked" to the beach, fully fed and uninjured.
As Chen Haihuang said, Master Zhao is really going to start teaching Brother Sun martial arts today.
And this martial arts will also become Sun Yixie's unique and famous skill in the future.
