The most comfortable season in Fengyun City is not spring, but autumn, with the cool breeze blowing from the Tianshan Mountains, golden pears hanging on the trees, and the leaves by the Liuhe River about to be dyed golden.
Li Ye and Agui walked through the streets in the early morning. The quiet town had just woken up and the bustling and bustling day had not yet begun. There was only the intermittent sound of the water truck's wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs.
Without the bowl on his head, Li Ye didn't walk much faster. Each step was exactly two feet long. In Li Ye's words, as long as you are not desperate, there is no need to run wildly.
After entering the husband's yard, passing through the path shaded by purple bamboo, we came to the front of the hall where the husband likes to be quiet. In front of me is a tea table made of Tianshan ink jade. On the table is the purple sand and red clay pot that I use every day. There is a small charcoal stove beside it, and the copper pot on the stove is still steaming from the spout.
Just don't see Mr.
Li Ye did not go to make tea, but asked Agui to stay here, watch the fire and don't boil the pot dry.
After walking around, I found Mr. in the corridor leading to the kitchen.
The gentleman was under the eaves of the cloister, pulling a rope to dry the marinated beef. Each slice was very thin and evenly marinated. When the wind blew, it smelled of spices and salt.
There was a basin of meat and a meat-cutting knife beside it. Li Ye picked up the knife in the basin and asked the gentleman: "Sir, this is not the New Year, why do you need to pickle so much meat? And, this knife Why doesn’t the knife look like a kitchen knife?”
After saying that, he picked up the pieces of meat from the basin and hung them on the rope.
The husband glanced at Li Ye and continued to eat meat.
After a while, he said: "Didn't you practice boxing at the old monk's place? You only went there for a few days and you ran out?"
"You are almost done practicing. In the words of Master, you have entered the door. There will be no breakthroughs in a short period of time. Then you will come back. I will continue to practice when I go to the mountains with you to collect medicine in a few days." Li Ye replied.
The teacher nodded and continued: "Well, there is no need to rush when it comes to spiritual practice. What the old monk said makes sense. The dried meat only weighs about fifty kilograms. When you go to the mountains and you can't find anything to eat, Used for emergencies."
"My husband is very thoughtful. I have been thinking about what to prepare when I go to the mountains with my husband these days." Li Ye replied with a smile.
The husband looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "What do you like to eat? Go to the market tomorrow and buy more to take with you. After all, the mountains are harsh and you have to spend the winter there, so there isn't much to eat."
Li Ye looked at his husband and smiled and said: "Disciple knows, I will go to the market tomorrow to see what your husband likes to eat, and I will buy it too."
The gentleman shook his head and did not reply.
After the two hung up the last piece of meat, Li Ye picked up the basin and knife and walked to the kitchen.
The husband also went to the kitchen to fetch water, washed the basin and knife, and washed his hands. Then the master and the apprentice returned to the front of the hall.
Back in front of the hall, the water had been boiled. Li Ye sat down and started to warm the pot, wash the tea, wash the cups, and add tea to his husband. For a moment, the fragrance of tea filled the room.
Looking at the steaming copper kettle, Li Ye couldn't help but ask: "Sir, yesterday I accidentally punched in the heavy rain, and the punch energy broke through the rain and fog to five feet away. I don't know why? Could it be that my Fuhu Arhat Quan can also be used to practice punching energy? Haven’t you heard from the old monk Master?”
The gentleman drank the tea in his hand and did not answer Li Ye's question.
Li Ye became anxious and asked again: "Have you tried it a long time ago? Can you clear up the doubts with the disciple?"
The gentleman pointed to the cup in front of Li Yeqian and said, "Drink tea." Then he looked at the sky again.
Li Ye picked up the tea cup, still puzzled. Just as he was about to speak, the gentleman pointed his finger at the sky and said, "Wait for the rain to come!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the study. After a while, he came out with a cloth bag in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "These are gold coins brought by the owner of Hongxiu Building. You asked Agui to take some for you." Master, old monk, this is what’s left.”
Li Ye looked at the bag in front of him, thought for a moment, stretched out his little hand, opened the bag, and slowly counted a hundred pieces from it, and placed it in front of his husband.
He said seriously: "I have not paid tuition since I started practicing with my husband. Besides, I still owe you a lot of money for medicinal herbs. I will give these to you first, and then I will pay them to you when I earn them later."
The gentleman looked at the gold coins in front of him and said nothing, but looked at Agui.
He said: "Take it to the study and put it away. I will go to Tianshan with Li Ye in a few days, and I don't know when I will come back. While I am away, this yard will be handed over to you. It will be just in time to use these gold coins."
Agui nodded, stepped forward to take the gold coins from the table, then turned and entered the gentleman's study.
The teacher looked at Li Ye and asked, "How many days have you practiced in the Great Buddha Temple? What have you gained?"
"My level has not improved. I had some enlightenment under the tree a few days ago. I feel that my body is more sensitive than before." Li Ye replied.
The teacher motioned to Li Ye to let go, then stretched out his hand to check his veins, gently circulated his Qi, and looked carefully.
"If your meridians were a trickle before, now your meridians are like streams, which can accommodate more water. Do you understand this principle?" He put his fingers away and looked at Li Ye and said.
Li Ye nodded and said, "No wonder I feel stronger these days. I guess that's why I punched in the rain."
The gentleman took the knife that cut the flesh just now, wiped it slowly with a soft cloth, and said, "Didn't you ask what kind of knife this is? An ordinary knife is about three feet long. This knife is one foot and five inches long. It is an ordinary knife." It’s half the size of a knife and weighs no more than two kilograms.”
After saying that he handed it over, Li Ye caught it with both hands and looked at it carefully. He saw that the knife was black and bright, brighter than his own armor, but lighter than the armor. There were faint cloud patterns on the blade, and the blade was like autumn frost, showing the coldness. cold.
The husband took it, lightly chopped at the fallen leaves outside the hall, and then put the knife away. Agui ran out of the hall and picked up the leaves that fell on the ground. He saw that a few leaves had been broken into two pieces. The broken parts were neat and smooth, and the hair was broken by the blowing blade.
Li Ye took the leaf from Gui's hand, stroked the incision, and thought to himself: Can he do it with such strength? "
The gentleman seemed to know what Li Ye was thinking. He put away the knife and said, "This knife has no name. I got it by accident. I took it out just because I had to have a weapon when I went to Tianshan to collect medicine. This knife is not suitable for you. I will find another sword for you. Once you learn Arhat Fist, you can also practice my swordsmanship."
Li Ye was delighted after hearing this and replied: "This will cause trouble to Mr."
Just as he was talking, the sky suddenly closed with dark clouds, a strong wind blew, and heavy rain poured down.
The husband glanced at Li Ye and said softly: "Look carefully." After that, he stood up, pushed away the chair, waved his sleeves, and walked into the wind and rain.
Li Ye and Agui watched with their eyes wide open. They saw their husband holding a black knife. The moment they stepped into the rain, there was a faint light surrounding them. They walked unhurriedly to a stone in the middle of the yard. In front of the stage, he stood still, raised his right hand, and swung his sword towards the bamboo forest ten feet away...
A sword energy passed through, forming an air current in the heavy rain, and chopped on a purple bamboo that was dancing wildly in the wind. Putting down the knife on the stone platform, the gentleman walked back to the front of the hall.
Unhurriedly, taking two feet at a time, just like Li Ye usually walked, Mr. returned to the tea table, sat down, picked up the copper pot, and added water and charcoal. The Zizhu that was cut in half in the distance did not fall down until this moment.
Agui was so stunned that he forgot to close his open mouth.
Li Ye turned around and noticed that Mr. Yes's robe and hair didn't even have a drop of rain hitting them. Thought: Is this the legendary body-protecting Qi?
The teacher looked at Li Ye's thoughtful look and said: "This is the strengthening of the true energy, called Gang Qi. It stands to reason that after you build the foundation, you can release the true energy, but I don't want you to bully others with your skills, so I didn't teach you Practice. Since you realized it yourself in the rain, you can try to practice the true energy to leave the body and the strong energy to protect the body."
Li Ye felt happy, left the tea table, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed into the storm.
Li Ye, who was thinking about how to move the Qi in his meridians like Mr. Li Ye, was soaked in the rain as soon as he rushed out into the rain.
But he didn't care at all, instead he was filled with anger in his Dantian. He moved his body like a horse, his front hand was like a bow, and his horse's steps were steady, and he performed the Crouching Tiger Arhat Fist in the courtyard.
Fuhu Luohan Fist means to control the dragon and tiger, refine oneself and mind, reconcile yin and yang, gather the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth, carry out the masculine energy, and the power of the soul, like the Vajra Arhat, invincible and indestructible.
When I first got up, the violent wind and rain hit my body, making it impossible to stretch my fists and feet, and my energy could not move outside the body as usual.
After being punched once and then a second time, the meridians all over the body seemed to have awakened, and a faint amount of true energy rushed out of the body. With each punch, there was a stream of white air that struck with the force of the punch. Rain and fog. It's just that the heat is a bit short, so it can't protect the body with Gangqi.
When the fight got aroused, Li Ye picked up the black knife that his husband had placed on the stone platform, punched the knife with his fist, punched with his left hand, and swung the knife with his right hand, not caring about the distance between the swordsmanship.
Suddenly, the punch in front of my house yesterday appeared in my mind. All my energy gathered in my right arm, and I followed the example of my husband and slashed out with all my strength towards the bamboo forest...
This sword was not amazing, and even when his husband talked about it many years later, Li Ye could no longer remember it.
However, this sword gathered all the true energy of Li Ye's third level of foundation building, condensed the essence of Li Ye's Fuhu Arhat Fist introduction, and gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at this moment.
This knife cut through the heavy rainstorm, condensed a white sword, and cut into the purple bamboo forest two feet away.
I saw more than a dozen purple bamboos in the storm, cut in half, and fell neatly to the ground, just like the rice harvested in autumn.
Li Ye was stunned when he saw the sword he swung.
Watching Li Ye cut through the rain and fog with his knife, both Mr. and Agui were stunned and speechless for a long time.
Li Ye put away his fist, put away his knife, and stood blankly in the rain.
At this time, the storm in the sky washed away his thin body, and large raindrops dripped down the unknown blade to the ground.
A piece of black hair tied with a silk thread had spread over her shoulders. Although there were raindrops, it was blown away by the strong wind.
