Perhaps because the hot water in the bath accelerated blood circulation, Yuyi slept soundly that night and got up early the next day.
He quickly finished washing up, ate the steamed buns that Su Qiang sent over, and silently recited the sect rules he had read last night. He quickly recalled the general outline, then said hello to Su Qiang, and then came to the martial arts training ground.
"Why hasn't Yuyi arrived yet?"
There was already an orderly queue at the martial arts training ground. Diao Ruxiao seemed to be a little impatient with the waiting, so she asked casually.
"On the first day he started, he didn't see any elders in his eyes. I think he can be disqualified!" Zhang Daniu saw that Diao Ruxiao was displeased, so of course he didn't forget to hit him again.
Not long after, Yu Yi appeared. This time he was in good condition and did not stand staggering. However, he was late for a long time and was out of breath. He obviously ran quickly. Diao Ruxiao shook his head helplessly and said: I don’t know how this guy passed the test. Every time he gathered, something would go wrong.
"You kid won't rely on your luck to pass the test, so you can inflate yourself." Zhang Daniu walked up to Yuyi, looking like he was provoking trouble.
"I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect you to come earlier!"
Yu Yi stuck out his tongue. According to the schedule of most modern people, getting up around 7 o'clock is considered very early. However, the ancients got up earlier. After all, he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue with Zhang Daniu.
Zhang Daniu naturally heard Yu Yi's small complaints, but he did not continue to pester. Normally, whatever Zhang Daniu said, Yu Yi would retort and make a fool of himself in public, but this time the other party didn't even refute anything. He was actually not used to it.
Diao Xue was now wearing a white robe and a man's outfit, which was what she usually wore during training.
Wu Chenggong glanced at Yu Yi, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Lei Chunze smiled at Yu Yi, expressing some sympathy. As for Huang Shumin, her face was serious, as if someone owed her a lot of money.
Diao Ruxiao paced back and forth in front of the team, scanning everyone present from the corner of his eyes, as if everything was within his control.
"First of all, let me introduce you to your senior sister and senior brother!"
Diao Ruxiao introduced Diao Xue and Zhang Daniu to the rest of the staff in turn, or they were introduced together. Zhang Daniu got a little carried away and felt that Diao Ruxiao was trying to match him up with Diao Xue, so he stood closer to Diao Xue, but Diao Xue Xue pushed him away with disgust on her face, making everyone laugh.
"Then comes the task assigned to you yesterday, which is to recite the sect rules."
As soon as these words came out, the scene became quiet again. After a long time, no one took the initiative to recite on stage, so Diao Ruxiao started to recite. Almost everyone could recite it, but they stuttered, and some even fell down, which made a lot of jokes.
After passing this level, Diao Ruxiao asked someone to bring an iron rod over, put it in Zhang Daniu's hand, and motioned to Zhang Daniu to show him his skills with the iron rod.
At first, it could be judged from Zhang Daniu's facial expression that he was struggling to hold it. Then he took a deep breath and his expression relaxed, as if the gravity of the iron rod was reduced after inhaling. Then he waved the iron rod, each time. The sticks are very windy, and if the stick head occasionally touches the surrounding soil, a small pit will be formed. Sometimes he would spin in circles, sometimes he would jump up and strike with the stick, and he would hold the stick with one hand and attack continuously. Especially at the end, he would continuously attack the same position. His strength and accuracy of positioning all amazed Yu Yi.
Before that, Yu Yi only knew that Zhang Daniu was a cart driver and knew some whip skills, which was just a superficial skill. Now that he saw such stick skills, he got to know Zhang Daniu again.
"Yu Yi, what do you think of Zhang Daniu just now?" Diao Ruxiao looked at Yu Yi and asked a question.
Yu Yi has never been exposed to these and does not understand whip techniques. Naturally, he cannot comment on anything. He can only respond, "It's amazing!"
Diao Ruxiao shook her head and then asked Wu Chenggong.
"I think the stick technique is not mature enough and the movement is not smooth enough. At the same time, after the move is made, the stagnation in the collection of moves is a bit serious." Wu Chenggong has sharp eyes. In addition, there are elders in his family who are good at stick techniques, so he has more knowledge. extensive.
"As expected of a general, that's right!" Diao Ruxiao smiled while stroking his palms.
"Yu Yi, step forward and get that iron rod again."
Yu Yi felt that Diao Ruxiao was making too much of a fuss. It was indeed his shortcomings to test his knowledge of stick skills, but it was not impossible to pick up an iron stick.
Seeing Yuyi approaching, Zhang Daniu smiled slightly and handed the iron rod into Yuyi's hand. Yuyi picked it up with one hand. He thought it was no different from an ordinary iron rod, but after taking it, it felt heavier than lead. His body sank quickly and he dropped the iron rod to the ground.
Yu Yi was a little dumbfounded. He could hear the laughter of the friends around him. At this moment, he wanted to find a gap and turn in immediately.
"This iron rod is heavier than your cauldron. It doesn't matter if you can't lift it. That's what I'm going to tell you next." Diao Ruxiao stepped forward to help Yu Yi and patted the soil on his body. , which eased the awkward atmosphere at the scene.
Because Yu Yi borrowed other tools to lift the cauldron, Diao Ruxiao never knew Yu Yi's true strength. After this incident with the iron rod, he fully understood.
"Actually, you rely on brute force to lift heavy objects, but after all, human beings are mortal and have limits, so the power brought by muscles is also limited. What I want to tell you is internal strength, the joints of the whole body are well connected , the strength is collected in the Dantian. When exerting force, the whole body's strength is gathered at one point, and its power is even higher. Those who have achieved great internal strength can lift hundreds of kilograms of weight on nothing. Their strength is taken from the Dantian, and it cannot be used up. It’s inexhaustible.”
Diao Ruxiao's metaphor of internal energy is very vivid, which gave Yu Yi an initial understanding of the concept of internal energy. No wonder the brave men in ancient times were extremely powerful, such as Bawang Juding and Li Yuanba's double hammer. It turned out that they They are all insider experts.
"In addition, it is the use of weapons. There are marksmanship with guns and swordsmanship with swords. Different weapons have different ways of using them. If you use the master, you can move the weapon quickly with lightning, forming a wind wall, and the surrounding area will not be invaded by bows and arrows. "
"Next to speed, pay attention to increasing the burden on your body at ordinary times, and transfer your internal energy to your feet, which can make you as light as a swallow. The so-called thirty-six tactics are the best. If you are fast on the battlefield, it will have miraculous effects. Of course There will also be some flattery and machinery, which can also increase the speed of retreat when used.”
"The next step is to use your eyes. In the eyes of experts, all your actions will be slowed down. At the same time, your next attack will be in their eyes, and it will be a preemptive attack in the future."
Diao Ruxiao probably said a few points. The summary is that internal strength, speed, eyesight, weapons, etc., all affect the level of force.
The disciples were all listening attentively. Diao Ruxiao nodded silently and said, "Everyone, please go back and think about what I said today. It's still a cloudy day to gather here at this time!"
