The early morning light shines on the fertile fields of the northern frontier, and the rain and dew still linger on the tender green leaves for the last time. The birds are chirping, as if to tell all things that this area is full of vitality.
The smoke from the distant villages rose up, reflecting the distant mountains where the mist had not dissipated. The breeze blew by, blowing the dewdrops off the grass, returning to the embrace of the earth, and moistening the extended village paths.
After a while, the quiet village gradually became lively. A group of seven, eight or nine-year-old children, led by a middle-aged resolute man, ran out of the village to start a day of exercise.
This is a village on the northern border. A hundred years ago, the Emperor of Han Dynasty collapsed and the dragons rose from the land. The kings of the eight vassals in Kyushu wanted to seize the artifact. Later, the new emperor came to Dabao and quelled the rebellion. The country's power was greatly reduced. This is known as the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in history. .
The defeated forces colluded with various ethnic groups in the north to invade south. Demons, monsters, demons and monsters took the opportunity to cause chaos. The artifacts collapsed, and a large number of remaining Han people moved south. After a hundred years of turmoil, the population of the north dropped sharply, leaving only one person alive.
Due to the natural dangers of the Longjiang River in the south, the remaining Han people were able to survive in the once swampy and swampy land and regain their vitality.
Later, under the leadership of His Majesty Taizu Shengdao, the civil and military emperor, the sons and daughters of the Han Dynasty fought hard. After decades of bloody struggle, they expelled and revitalized Chinese civilization. The ancient city of Yinggan was established as the capital, Daqian was established, and the country was named Qianwu.
In order to prevent the invasion of the northern tribes, the former soldiers who took off their armor would spontaneously move with their families to the northern places, forming villages and towns. They served as soldiers in wartime and took off their armor to work as farmers.
Like military fortresses and military towns connected one after another, these northern villages and towns are like a big net or the Great Wall, spread out and standing in the vast land of the north.
Today's village is called Baihu Village and belongs to Heishan City. Ten years ago, two disarmed warrior commanders under the command of Taizu's third son, King Bei, led the former Paoze and his family members to gather together a village composed of the remaining people and other ethnic groups who had been enslaved by the northern tribes.
When registering in the military town, the two chiefs fought over naming. In the end, the two men engaged in a duel and led their soldiers into the mountains to hunt. The winner was determined by how much they hunted before dark.
As a result of God's will, after entering the mountain, the two parties met in a tiger den and found a rare white tiger.
It happened that the white tiger was injured in a fight with other beasts and its combat power was greatly reduced. The two parties cooperated to hunt the white tiger together.
After the successful hunt, the village was named Baihu Village, which was a little more meaningful than the previous names of Lizi Village and Liushu Village.
Baihu Village has more than 100 households and more than 600 people, of which children account for half of the total population. The two former leaders of this group of soldiers serve as the village chief and the military chief respectively.
Coordinate the life, production, safety and martial arts practice of the village. The village is backed by the Black Dragon Mountains. Different from the past farming civilization, the people in the village are no longer limited to traditional farming. In addition to daily farming, they also make a living by fishing, animal husbandry and hunting.
Since the war had just settled down and the population had dropped sharply, there was no class conflict over land annexation. The people in this border village were living quite a prosperous life.
These young children were all children born in this village in recent years, and the resolute man was a commander who once shed his armor, named Ning Hutou.
Ren is now the village martial arts chief, and is now preparing to lead the children to the small school field opened in the back mountain to practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies.
"Left...right...left...right..." A series of neat shouts came from the back mountain in the early morning.
"Hahaha, children, practice well. When you grow up, the old man will take you into battle to kill the enemy." Wu Changning's rough voice and the children's childish shouts echoed in the bluestone pavilion in the back mountain in the early morning. School grounds.
After about half an hour, a group of tired children lay on the clean bluestone and groaned.
Ning Hutou laughed and scolded the group of children with his feet: "You guys, get up here, you little bastards."
A child with a tiger head and a tiger brain shouted: "Uncle tiger head, just be kind and let us relax for a while."
Other children echoed and shouted, "Daddy Hutou, Daddy Hutou, please spare us!"
Ning Hutou smiled and scolded: "What the heck, you little bastards want to rebel, so get up. It's cold in spring. You little bastards are young and have thin bodies. If you want the cold air to enter your body, get up." I get up, go to the thatched cottage and get your straw mats, sit down for me, and I will show you my martial arts."
When the children heard that they were going to demonstrate martial arts, they jumped up from the ground and ran towards the thatched cottage laughing and pushing.
The middle-aged man saw the children sitting down and spoke: "Taizu was a small soldier in the army. He relied on his bravery to kill the enemy. Step by step, he became a centurion, a captain, and finally led an army alone and led his brothers. What did we do to kill those bastards in the north? Tell me!"
The children shouted in a long voice: "Martial arts..."
"Yes, it is martial arts, not just martial arts, but also bravery and indomitable momentum."
"When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I followed Taizu in the south and north. But I didn't have the comfortable environment you have now. At that time, I didn't have enough to eat and didn't have warm clothes. Taizu created a boxing technique specifically for the brothers to help them. If we keep our bodies strong, we can keep fighting with fighting, and the more we fight, the stronger we will become."
"Kids, watch out, today I will officially teach you our Taizu's martial arts, "Martial Arts". As the saying goes, when learning martial arts, you must first learn stances, then learn boxing. If the stances and fists are clear, the sword, gun, and stick will be easier to hear." As he spoke, the middle-aged man shook his head.
"Hahaha...hehehe..." the children laughed, "Dad Tiger Head, you look like the old master in the village!"
"Shut up, you kids dare to make fun of your father." The middle-aged man glared, scaring the children into shutting up.
"Before, I have been using the tiger stakes in our martial arts to let you use your body. Now your foundation is much stronger than I was back then. I will wait for you to bring glory to our Baihu Village in the future. If anyone dares to cheat, be careful I’ll break your dog legs.”
Following the man's words, the children burst into childish laughter.
"Martial arts boxing is divided into pile methods and training methods, as well as striking methods. The pile method is the tiger stake that you have been practicing since childhood. You must first practice the pile method and get the effect, and then you can learn the practice method. When you have mastered it, Okay, only after you have achieved a small amount of practice can you practice your fighting style."
Ning Hutou said with a sigh: "Dads didn't have the conditions back then, so they directly piled up, practiced, and fought. The foundation was not built firmly, and the possibility of further progress was lost, so you must give I have laid a solid foundation, do you hear me?"
"Dad, you are already so powerful, is there anyone better than you?"
"Yes, yes, who can be more powerful than dad."
"There are many people who are better than your father. To talk about this, we have to talk about the current state of martial arts. There are four states in martial arts, namely skin training, bone training, internal organs training, and blood exchange.
Dad, I have only cultivated to the level of bone forging. When you reach the level of bone training, you can become a captain in the army. When you change your blood, you can be called a fierce general in the army. As for Taizu, how many other princes are there? I heard that it has transcended the level of blood transfusion. "
"You are different from us. Back then, your village elder and I led our brothers to kill a white tiger and fed you with its blood mixed with milk. Your talents are much higher than ours, but it's a pity that there is only one white tiger. Your brothers won’t have this blessing, well, these things are still far away from you, let’s continue.”
"There are thirty-two styles in the Taizu martial arts training method, sixteen basic styles, and sixteen martial arts moves. The training methods and fighting methods are interlinked. It is both a training method and a fighting method. Once you have mastered it, you can become a master."
"Now I will officially teach you the first two moves, the straight punch and the swinging punch. As I said that, I walked to a wooden stake and watched it. Ha..."
The man stood firm on his feet, squatted down with his legs, put his fists on his waist, and punched out. The wooden stake made a dent from the middle, and sawdust flew behind him.
The children looked shocked and gasped.
"This punch requires twenty years of skill. Boys, don't be surprised. Study hard. You will one day be able to surpass dad."
Then he walked to a bluestone slab, which was placed between two stones. It was about two fingers thick. The man also stood firmly on his feet, placed his fists on his waist, and swung his right fist from top to bottom.
Just a snap was heard, and the stone slab broke from the middle.
After finishing his work, the man smiled again and said, "Hahaha, how are you guys?"
"Dad Tiger Head is so awesome!"
"Dad Tiger Head, please teach us!"
...
The children shouted in anticipation with a bit of surprise just now.
"Want to learn? If you want to learn, stand up for me."
The children threw their straw mats aside and stood up.
"Zhan Zhuang."
"promise."
"Come on, stand firm with your fists upward, and hold two fists on your waist. Okay, come on, punch your right fist forward from your waist, turn your waist, follow your shoulder, and rotate your right fist forward and punch forward, As strong as the fist."
"Okay, good, left fist, right fist..."
After a while, a neat sound of "hey ha" came from the playground.
The children have a solid foundation due to years of hard work and running, and they get into the groove after a while. The middle-aged man corrects the children's wrong actions from time to time.
A group of birds landed on the green branches, tilting their heads to look at this group of strange things. From time to time, they heard a few crisp calls. The sun in the distance seemed to slowly rise from the green mountains, dispersing the last traces of early spring. The cool air shows a vibrant scene.
After practicing for about an hour, the middle-aged man asked the children to stop.
After hearing this, the children immediately became staggering and lay on the ground.
"Get up, get up. Why have you forgotten what I taught you? Get up and stretch your muscles. Don't stop right away."
After hearing this, the child struggled with his sore and sore body, got up from the ground, and began to stretch his body and muscles under the guidance of the man.
After a cup of tea, the children who had stretched themselves rested for a while in the small school yard. After cleaning up the small school yard, they walked down the mountain under the leadership of Ning Hutou.
Small villages spread out from afar. The warm sunshine in early spring drove away the mist that shrouded the mountains and forests, and the quiet villages became lively in the early morning.
Busy people can be seen everywhere in Tianmo. Children are jumping and walking on the path leading to the village. From time to time, they shout respectful names to the busy adults who lower their heads. The adults either laugh or smile in return of the affectionate address. .
Children are like birds returning to their parents' arms after a hard morning's work.
Ning Hutou also led the two children back to a yard in the small village. Near the yard, a big black dog lying at the door of the yard suddenly raised its head and rushed out, wagging its tail and surrounding the three returning dogs. The individual went round and round.
"Master, you are back. Are you tired? Come drink some water and rest for a while."
A middle-aged woman sitting on a bench in the courtyard, wearing linen clothes, with a big belly, and a somewhat beautiful appearance put down her sewing work and greeted the third son who came back.
Ning Hutou hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman who was about to get up to pour water.
"Xiu Niang, why don't you get some sleep? You are not in good health to begin with. Stop doing these needlework and rest more. I will go out later to see if there are any prey in the forest and pack something to supplement your health."
"Oh, how can I sleep? Our little guy is getting more and more noisy. He won't let me relax for a while and always wants me to walk around."
"Come on, let me see if this little guy misses his daddy." After saying that, he put his big head on the woman's belly.
The two children who walked in next to him looked at each other, grinning widely and giggling.
Wait for the two adults to finish warming up.
The simple woman took out a few eggs from the dustpan and gave a few to each of the two children.
"Tao'er, Feng'er, you have been practicing all morning. Are you hungry? Mom has boiled some eggs specially for you. Eat them quickly."
The two children reached up to catch the eggs. He said "Thank you, mother." Then he sat next to Xiu Niang, peeled the eggs and ate them hungrily.
"After you two have finished eating, help your mother feed the chickens, geese and pigs, and then go to the back mountain to graze the cattle. Don't forget to cut some pig grass when you come back at noon, and go to the mountains to get some firewood in the afternoon."
"Okay daddy."
"You two have already learned what I was taught in the back mountain today, but the way to practice martial arts is to wear terrazzo. You can't go without practice for a day. One day of practice will make you lose strength, and one day without practice will make you empty."
"Wow, dad is so educated!" the two children pretended to admire.
"Go, go, these two bastards dare to make fun of your father, get out of here, get out of here."
"No." The two children nodded, and after saying that, they ran into the house with a narrow smile, picked up the sickle, the basket and the gourd filled with water, went to the cowshed, took the big ox and walked out.
"Dahei, come back, you are responsible for guarding the house."
The big black dog, who was having fun and was about to follow the two brothers out after hearing this, turned around intelligently and lay down at the door again. His two big eyes looked at the owner in the yard and outside the yard, which was quite interesting. Spirituality.
"These two brats are becoming more and more unruly. We have to find an opportunity to let them know how powerful their father is."
The embroiderer smiled when she heard this and called out the door: "Come back early, you have to review your homework when you come back."
