The next morning, my mother-in-law went to the fields early, leaving only Shen Zui and Wan'er in the room.
Wan'er dressed neatly today, wearing a collared jacket, trousers, and a loose skirt.
She took Shen Zui's hand, opened the door, and came to the front yard. Although the place was not big, it was more than enough for the two of them to practice sparring.
Shen Zui also changed into coarse linen clothes. Apart from his handsome face, he was no different from a rice farmer in the field.
"Wan'er, from today on, I will introduce you to the path of martial arts practice. Remember not to be careless at any time, and to be cautious everywhere."
Shen Zui spoke seriously and Wan'er listened carefully.
"First hold the boxing frame. The so-called boxing frame refers to the opening position of the boxing technique. I am not familiar with martial arts. I know that the boxing technique was practiced briefly in the Changshengmen when I was a child.
But the boxing techniques and moves I will teach you today are all those I have practiced before, and I also know all the tricks, so you can rest assured. "
Shen Zui said and acted at the same time, lunging with both legs, left leg in front, right leg behind, left palm straight, right hand making a fist and placing it horizontally on the waist.
"This set of boxing techniques is called "Mountain Chisel", and it was passed down from generation to generation of the sect. However, we major in immortality, so few people care about this set of boxing techniques, and it has been shelved for many years.
When I was a child, I was more interested in martial arts. I pestered a guest in my family who practiced martial arts to teach me for a while. "
Mu Wan'er posed as if she was intoxicated.
Seeing something wrong, Shen Zui came over and put her arm in the correct position.
The so-called martial arts mostly focus on boxing, and other leg techniques are not good enough.
Therefore, practicing boxing means trying to be perfect in every move and style, so that you can punch like a dragon and step in all directions.
Once mistakes or unreasonable boxing moves are formed into a habit, at least it will affect the improvement of martial arts, at worst it will hurt the body, and even make a small mistake in a duel that must win, and someone will seize the opportunity to kill him.
After seeing that there was no problem with Wan'er's boxing, Shen Zui continued: "Now imagine that there is a hot air in your Dantian, and you guide this hot air from the bottom up of the Dantian, through the abdomen, and stay on the chest."
After hearing this, Wan'er kept her posture motionless, and then began to meditate in her mind.
But the more she wanted to enter a state of forgetfulness about things and myself, the less she could achieve it.
In this freezing season, sweat dripped from Wan'er's forehead.
"Don't think too much, forget everything around you except yourself."
Shenzui's words came from her ears. Wan'er nodded and tried a few more times.
Finally, for the last time, the fire dragon in the dantian seemed to be really alive, and began to move its head and tail. But every time Wan'er tried to guide it upwards, the arrogance was extinguished.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed.
The girl who had never been exposed to martial arts was holding on to the same boxing stance for a long time in the cold wind.
I don't know if the sweat on my forehead is due to looking at the fire dragon in my dantian, or because I have been holding a boxing stance for a long time. It is almost constantly flowing down my temples and down to my chin.
"Okay, let's get here first in the morning. Haste makes waste. Your body is just an ordinary person, and excessive practice will only destroy your body."
Shen Zui came over and helped Wan'er wipe away her sweat.
"Am I stupid?" Mu Wan'er looked like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head and not daring to look at the man in front of her.
Shen Zui shook his head, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of the girl's delicate nose, "Do you really think martial arts is so easy to practice? You can get started casually? Although my sect is the best in the immortal world with its immortality, there are also people in the sect who are more talented in martial arts than immortality. disciple.
None of them had to go through all kinds of hardships before they could enter the palace. How many people died in silence and silence. "
Speaking of this, Su Zui's voice became deeper.
"Okay, I understand." Mu Wan'er continued to face Shenzui, "I'm going to wash my face first, and then go take a look at the newly built thatched hut."
"Ok, I will wait for you."
After a while, Shen and Mu came side by side to the woods nearby.
Carpenter Li's affairs at home have been settled and he came early today. This is what Granny Chen saw when she got up early and went to the fields. She came back and told Wan'er.
When the two arrived at the selected address, they saw that the foundation had been laid, and all the pillar materials that had been cut, trimmed, polished, and perforated were erected perfectly.
Wan'er greeted Carpenter Li first.
Carpenter Li, who never liked to talk much, simply nodded towards the two of them, and then directed the young people from home or from other places who often watched him work to start building the side walls of the house.
Carpenter Li also selects these walls from trees one by one, and then connects them using mortise and tenon techniques. As long as the houses he builds, they are always renowned for their sturdiness.
And unlike others, Carpenter Li always erected "four courtyard pillars" when building his house.
That is four pillars, plus a main beam.
This is true no matter how big the courtyard is. Then directly add the side walls and paint or modify them.
In just over half an hour, several side walls were installed. Shenzui looked around and saw that it was indeed a work of art.
However, Shen Zui and Mu Wan'er also discovered Li Er's presence.
He was currently wearing a heavy cotton-padded jacket and a felt hat, squatting on a slope not far away. He did not come over to help build a house like before.
Seeing Shen and Mu, Li Er just glanced at them coldly and never looked at them again.
"It would be nice if we could keep the well and the river at bay." Shen Zui thought silently in his heart, but after all, there was still an uneasy feeling that made it difficult for him to deal with it for a while.
"Shenzui, at this rate, I'm afraid it will be completed within a few days."
"Yes, we will be able to move into a new house before the end of the year. By the way, there is a big party tomorrow. Why don't we buy some things that can be stored in advance? After all, the New Year is coming soon."
Wan'er agreed, "This is naturally good, otherwise it will be difficult to buy things before the new year, and there will be too much to buy, and you might not be able to get it all at once."
Shenzui nodded, "In that case, get up early tomorrow and go."
The two looked at each other for a while, then said goodbye to Carpenter Li and everyone else, and returned to the thatched house. In the afternoon, they accompanied Granny Chen to do some needlework in the house, chatting and laughing, and the day passed.
At dawn the next day, the golden rooster crowed. Wan'er was dressed neatly and smiled at Granny Chen and said, "Grandma, we are going to the market today. Is there anything you want to buy?"
Granny Chen shook her head, "Not really. I haven't bought anything in the past few years. After all, I am a villager. We have food and drink. You can buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough money, grandma has it here."
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from under the pillow and prepared to open it.
"Oh, mother-in-law, we are not asking you for money. Then let's buy it according to the situation. You don't have to leave food for us at noon. It should take us a long time."
"Okay, you have been in the village for a long time, so you might as well hang out outside more."
"Goodbye, mother-in-law."
Shen and Mu walked out of the hut hand in hand and came to the market.
