In the early morning, when the sky was getting dark, Feng Xue lifted up the quilt on her body, folded and put away Santa's wrapping cloth that had been spread on the ground while sleeping, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing that some vehicles had begun to appear on the road, Feng Xue picked up the killer whale pillow and walked along the path under the overpass towards the riverside square. Shang Shu Mountain is full of water, and any apartment building has river and lake views. This An area named after a pier naturally has water views.
Seeing that there were already several old men and women in the square starting to box, Feng Xue didn't stop, walked directly across the square, crossed the guardrail (good kids don't want to learn this), and came to the river. Looking at the turbulent water, Feng Xue picked up The killer whale hugged the pillow and began to dance the "sword".
Although it looks a bit girly, the tidal power of the killer whale pillow is real. When waving, the sound of the waves that seems to echo in the ears and the water vapor lingering on the killer whale pillow can make Feng Xue clearly feel it. A beauty of strength.
Waving the killer whale lightly, ripples spread in the air. Feng Xue quietly experienced the feeling of rolling up the tide, and tried to transform it into the realm of "martial arts".
…
Because he was worried about Feng Xue leaving, Liu Qi got up from bed at five o'clock in the morning after not sleeping much all night. Regardless of the soreness all over his body, he felt the edge of the overpass all the way, but happened to see the expert just getting up.
Liu Qi was about to step forward to become his disciple, but saw the other party suddenly crossing the road carrying that cute pillow, and immediately followed him out of curiosity——
He saw the expert standing by the river, holding the tail of the killer whale pillow with one hand and waving it. It was obviously just a fat-headed fish pillow, but in Liu Qi's eyes, he seemed to be able to see an extremely sharp sword. .
He wanted to remember that sword move, but when such thoughts arose, he felt that every move made by the master was so ordinary, and it looked like he was swinging a pillow wantonly.
For a moment, Liu Qi even felt that he had gone crazy, imagining a mentally ill person who got up early in the morning and waved pillows crazy as a martial arts master.
But at this moment, the expert suddenly took a step forward, rotated his waist suddenly, and held the tail of the killer whale pillow with both hands. At that moment, Liu Qi seemed to see a blue line on the front of the killer whale pillow. The sword light flew out, and there seemed to be a killer whale wandering wantonly in the sword light.
His eyes followed the sword light, and a scene that he would never forget appeared in front of his eyes at this moment -
The river is divided!
Although it only lasted a few seconds, Liu Qi was sure that it was definitely not his illusion, because the large and small whirlpools that rolled up for no reason on the river at this time were the clearest evidence.
"Master!" Liu Qi, who was still hesitant at first, finally made up his mind at this moment. He turned around and went to the breakfast shop next to the square to buy some breakfast. However, when he came back, Feng Xue was no longer by the river. .
"Where is the person? He's gone already, right?!"
A strong sense of loss came to Liu Qi's heart. It was like finding out that he had won the jackpot, but the lottery ticket could not be found.
He carried the wine he brought from home and the breakfast he just bought, and ran towards the overpass. Although he had no hope in his heart, he still wouldn't give up if he didn't take a look.
"Still there!" Standing across the road, Liu Qi saw the expert who was cleaning up under the overpass. The ecstasy in his heart made him rush over. After a series of actions that could be called a flag, he surprisingly did not get caught in the mud. The first car crashed into another world, but arrived safely in front of Feng Xue.
"Gao, master, accept me as your apprentice!"
Looking at the young man in front of him who was poking the wine bottle and breakfast in front of him, Feng Xue felt that he didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment. Liu Qi also seemed to realize that his behavior was a bit abrupt, and he didn't know how to make up for it at the same time. Kneel down and kowtow on the spot? But will that give the master a sense of coercion of "I won't get up if you don't accept me"?
Liu Qi, who had always found this kind of plot ridiculous, froze in place, but soon, a voice that sounded like the sounds of nature came into his ears——
"Stand up and take a look."
"Yes!" Liu Qi felt as if he had been amnesty for a moment. He even forgot to put down the things in his hands and stood up on the spot. Then he regretted it a little.
An hour of horse walking yesterday had already accumulated a large amount of lactic acid in his body, which usually was just doing routines. Now that he was in a posture, he felt that his legs were sore and weak, as if countless cow hair needles were pricking him.
But he still gritted his teeth and slowly adjusted his breathing and contracted his muscles according to the instructions of the expert yesterday.
Seeing the decent movements of the young man in front of him, Feng Xue couldn't even tell for a moment whether the other person was talented and intelligent, or whether everyone had this talent after the spread of the weird rumor that "people in the Yan Kingdom know martial arts".
But no matter what, being able to persist even when your legs are weak shows that you at least have perseverance and determination.
"Not bad." Feng Xue took the food and wine from Liu Qi's hand. The moment of imbalance almost caused Liu Qi to sit down directly, but he still managed to steady himself and said with one breath:
"Did you agree?"
"That depends on what you want to learn." Feng Xue found a real stone pier to sit down indifferently and said casually:
"If you have some basic skills, it's no problem. If you add some power skills, it's absolutely no problem to hit five with one."
"What if I want to learn real kung fu?" As an online writer, Liu Qi knew that the time to decide his fate had come, and immediately asked anxiously.
Then, he saw the corners of the mouth of the expert in front of him suddenly raised in an arc:
"Although it's true that I can't teach you everything after meeting you twice, but I won't stay in a city for more than a week, so I don't have time to carefully examine your character, understanding, mentality, etc. s things."
Hearing this, Liu Qi had no time to think and said:
"It doesn't matter, I can travel with you!"
"Let's not talk about whether you can bear this hardship. Do your family members agree?" Feng Xue poured two mouthfuls of Erguotou into his mouth and looked up at Liu Qi, who was already sweating on his forehead. After hearing Feng Xue's words, Liu Qi Seriously:
"No problem. My parents are not here. It's just that my university and previous job were in Shang Shu. I am now a full-time writer. I can work anywhere as long as I bring a notebook."
"That being said, it's not impossible, but there is one last question - can you bear this hardship?" Feng Xue had a smile on his face, but Liu Qi only felt a bone-chilling chill, as if It looked like someone was holding a knife to his throat.
"Gudong..." After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Liu Qi flashed various thoughts in an instant, and finally chose to tell the truth:
"I don't know, but I think I can give it a try. The rent of the house I live in now is very cheap, and there are still three years left before the lease expires. If I really can't persist, I still have a way out."
Liu Qi felt that it was too weak to propose a retreat, but while he didn't want to give up this opportunity, he was not sure whether he could really persist.
Instead of saying a bunch of nice things now only to back off later, it’s better to make it clear from the beginning.
If the other party doesn't accept me because of this, then it's considered a no-brainer.
Just when Liu Qi was thinking this, Feng Xue had already finished a bottle of Erguotou and burped:
"So, one last question."
"What could it be? Are you asking me why I want to practice martial arts? Should I say to keep fit or to practice chivalry?" Liu Qi had various thoughts in his mind, but Feng Xue spit out four extremely simple words. ——
"your name?"
Regarding why people from the Yan Kingdom have obvious physical enhancement after gaining martial arts talents...
Because martial arts talent is not something that has nothing to do with the body.
Just like what is the difference between sprinting talent and long-distance running talent? It lies in the ratio of red and white muscles, which is the direction of endurance and explosive power.
In the same way, if your arms are strong, you are suitable for boxing; if you have good balance, you are suitable for kicking; if you have a good brain, you can develop new martial arts according to your own physical characteristics...
Therefore, physical fitness itself is part of the martial arts talent.
As for things like Jiuyin's Absolute Meridians and Pure Yang's body, they cannot be called talents at all. Or rather, it should be said that because of this kind of physique, the corresponding skills appeared, and the sequence relationship is reversed.
It's like being born with a deformed right hand, so you practice left-handed boxing, or simply develop a set of deformed right-hand fists. You can say that the person who developed the deformed right-hand boxing is a martial arts genius, but you can't say that the deformed right hand is a martial arts talent, right?
In the final analysis, this developer's talent is not his right hand deformity, but his extraordinary understanding.
