the next day.
Early in the morning, when Ka Xiu was repairing the wall, an old face full of wrinkles suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the hole in the wall.
"My dear disciple Sun, you succeeded in the first attempt?!"
The person who came was none other than the teacher’s teacher, Master Oumai.
"Yeah." Card Xiu had nothing to hide. Since Master Ouma came to ask, it must have been Teacher Lisha who told him.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Suddenly, the old face outside the hole smiled like a chrysanthemum, its wrinkles and black age spots squeezed together.
"Good boy! You are so lucky!" Oumai sighed a little, because hard work and talent can only account for half of the bottleneck of the Wind Elephant Secret Martial Arts, and luck must account for at least the other half. Decades ago, Oumai tried four times to break through this bottleneck, and Lisha also failed to break through twice in a row.
Once the breakthrough fails and the internal conflict of Qi and blood becomes disordered, the secret warrior will need at least two to three months of recovery before he can break through again. Generally speaking, a warrior has seven chances to try to break through. Once the eighth time is reached, the probability will be infinitely close to zero.
Like Card Xiu, he and his senior brother Haig were the only two people in the entire Feng Xiang Sect that had successfully succeeded in the first attempt.
In the secret room, Ka Xiu smiled while holding a brick in his hand.
He doesn't have any tendency to attribute his luck to the fact that his strength and talent are far beyond ordinary people, it's just self-knowledge.
"Luck is also a part of strength..." Oumai sighed from outside: "Here, pass the brick to me to help you..."
Just like that, with the help of Master Oumai. It only took Ka Xiu half an hour to patch up the white wall of the secret room. Although it looks a bit ugly now, as long as the white ash is applied later, the appearance will be absolutely the same as before.
He looked at the flat wall and nodded with satisfaction.
Next to him, Master Oumai said slowly: "Would you like some snuff?" He took out a silver-white rectangular snuff box from his arms. The box was engraved with flowers and inlaid with several opal stones.
This stone is colorful and warm.
Snuff boxes contain snuff, not cigarettes. Snuff is made from fine tobacco leaves, borneol, mixed with mint and other spices and herbs, ground into powder, sealed and aged in a cellar. The outer box is a kind of handicraft.
Sometimes it's more like collecting them rather than using them.
"No, I can't get used to it." Card Xiu shook his head. With his keen eyes, he saw that there seemed to be a line of small words engraved on the metal inner wall of the snuff box: "To my dear Omer McGinnis."
"Is this a box a friend gave you?"
"No." Ouma smiled and said, "She's my wife."
There was a hint of reminiscence on his face: "My wife gave it to me forty years ago. At that time, I took her throughout the Red Lebanon Federation and even went abroad together. We saw all kinds of things. Food, customs and customs of more than a dozen countries..."
"Hey, why are I telling you this? Let's go, let's go!"
Ouma took a puff of snuff and quickly patted the powder on his hand. Immediately walked out of the door of the newly repaired quiet room.
Ouma almost walked on the front foot, and Lisha arrived on the back foot.
She wore a set of pure white clothes today. Her complexion seemed much better than before, and her cheeks were rosier and redder than before.
Lisha slowly glanced at the repaired wall on the right: "The work was quite fast, it was repaired in less than an hour."
"Hehe." Ka Xiu scratched his head and smiled.
"Just right, let's complete the final steps."
Lisha picked up the wooden barrel in her right hand, which was filled with white ash.
"Teacher, I'll come."
Ka Xiu trotted over and took the barrel. Aim at the conspicuous piece of dog skin plaster on the wall and apply it evenly.
The master helped build the wall, and the master helped mix the dust, which was good.
He applied the white ash even more vigorously.
Birds were chirping crisply outside the house, and the early morning sunlight shone in through the windows, leaving several long golden rectangular frames on the ground. Ka Xiu stood in a square frame and smeared while squatting.
Lisha stood in another golden sunlight square, leaning against the wall, tilting her head slightly, and stood watching quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Teacher, what is the name of Master Ouma's wife?"
Ka Xiu wiped a layer of plaster on the wall and asked suddenly.
"My master wife, of course you should call me master wife."
"No, no, that's not what I asked. What I wanted to say was the name." Card Xiu applied two more layers of white dust while speaking.
"Name? Isabel Cassini." Lisha thought for a moment: "To be precise, your Master Omai did not have a wife in name. Your master's wife died when she was twenty-six years old, and she still There was no time to marry Teacher Oumai." She paused when she said this: "From that day on, Teacher Oumai swore not to marry for the rest of his life..."
"Master Oumai is also a man with stories..." Card Xiu thought to himself. He stopped talking and just kept painting plaster on the wall.
In the afternoon, the quiet room had just been renovated and the smell was quite strong. So Lisha and Ka Xiu came to the training room and taught here for the time being.
On the empty and flat floor, the two of them sat cross-legged.
Lisha thought for a moment and said slowly: "Any martial art has its own framework. For example, our sect's Wind Elephant Secret Martial Arts, the Wind Elephant Basic Fighting Technique is its underlying framework. From now on, whether it is the first level of Wind Elephant Fist, the Storm Chapter The second level of the Elephant Chapter is based on this. This is the right way to go from simple to complex, from a tree trunk to a leafy tree!"
"In addition to such a righteous path, there are also auxiliary skills that suddenly spread and developed from a certain point. This skill is like the thorny vines wrapped around the branches, which can effectively increase the lethality of the tree and resist natural enemies. Of course, this This is its beneficial side, but its bad side is that the vines will compete with the big tree for nutrients. If you pay too much attention to the vines, the big tree will wither..."
Lisha glanced at Ka Xiu who was listening carefully: "The Blue Wind Airflow I am going to formally teach you next is just such a vine. You must stick to your heart and master this double-edged sword. Before you are forty years old, you will only have a taste of it. That’s it, don’t study too deeply. It’s not too late to come back and try again when you reach the level of a fighter. One year of being in a high position will be more effective than ten years of hard work before.”
Ka Xiu nodded and said he would keep it in mind. He has actually been exposed to the Blue Wind Airflow technique for a long time, but at that time he only practiced the basics. Those who have not reached the level of a boxer are not qualified to truly practice Blue Wind Qi Flow.
"Ahem." Lisha coughed twice and drank some water.
"I have told you before that Blue Wind Air Current is a technique I learned from the main theme of the Wind Elephant Fist Gust Wind chapter. It also adheres to the main purpose: the mind is as clear as a stream, and the wind and land cannot be stopped. Since this skill is still incomplete, so You can’t get any feedback while practicing. Once you succeed, you will instantly master the blue wind air flow, unlike the Wind Elephant Fist, which is done step by step.”
"So you have to be patient next time..."
