In the second year of Xiping (AD 173), the two masters and apprentices started their journey, passing through Shiyi, Zhao, Maocheng, Handan, and Huguan from Changshan State. In this way, the two entered Bingzhou from Jizhou, and then entered
Among the mountains of Taihang Mountains.
In the deep mountains, there are mountains and ridges, which are the creation of nature. There is such a mountain, lonely and stunned, not leaning on all sides, not connected in all directions, it seems so abrupt, the mountain is surrounded by mist,
What makes the mountain even more majestic is that the water at the foot of the mountain is crystal clear, reflecting the steep peak. There are forests on the mountain, and the fallen leaves in the forest proclaim its antiquity and vicissitudes.
The two of them entered the Taihang Mountains. Li Yan led Zuo Aoran up the mountain and down the mountain, down the mountain and up the mountain again. He didn't know how many mountains he went up and down, and he didn't know how long he walked.
After a long time, we came to a hillside, and there was a cave in front of it. There were rocks and trees below the cave entrance, and vines hanging upside down above, covering the cave entrance. For those of you who don’t know, you couldn’t tell that this was a cave.
Li Yan came closer, picked up the vines and said to Zuo Aoran: "Come in!" Zuo Aoran entered the cave and saw that the cave was not very big, more than ten feet long. When he walked out of the cave and looked forward, it was bright.
The tiles are blue and the sky is green, and the green sugar tile houses are large. The courtyard is very big, with a main hall, east and west side halls, and a yard at the back. There are flowers that never fade in all seasons, eight-section evergreen grass, pines and cypresses, and a paradise like no other.
There was still smoke coming from the back of the hall, and cigarette smoke filled the main hall. As soon as Li Yan came in, two boys ran out from inside and saluted Li Yan: "Master, you have always been kind? Why did you come back?"
Li Yan said: "Oh, get up, I have something to do outside. Come, I will introduce you to you." As he spoke, he pointed at Zuo Aoran beside him and said: "This is my new disciple, his name is Zuo Aoran.
, he is your little junior brother. Ao Ran! Come and meet me, these are my two apprentices, this one is called Lan Yu, this one is called Lan Liang, they are your senior senior brother and second senior senior brother."
"Senior brother, you guys, Aoran, are kowtowing." After saying that, he was about to kowtow. Lan Yu and Lan Liang stepped forward and quickly pulled Zuo Aoran up. They looked at Zuo Aoran and were happy. Zuo Aoran is a junior brother, but
He is more than a head taller than their two senior brothers, wider and stronger.
Li Yan said: "From today on, you will live with your two senior brothers. You will carry water and chop wood every day, and wear a girdle around your waist and legs. I will teach you kung fu in a few days."
After talking for a long time, who is this person? Does he have the ability? He will not turn our protagonist into a useless person! This Li Yan is a worldly master, a god on the road. This mountain is called Yuzhen Mountain.
This cave is called Haoran Cave. Li Yan has a junior brother, who is also his adopted brother, who lives in Taiyu Cave in Yunmeng Mountain. His surname is Tong Yuan, his cousin is Xiong Fu. Both of them studied under his adoptive father Yu Zhenzi. Tong Yuan was good at using spears.
His famous skill is "Hundred Birds Chaotic Phoenix Spear", but this Li Yan is proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons (although there were no eighteen kinds of weapons in that era). These two brothers are amazing, but they don't teach their disciples easily, you see
Lan Yu and Lan Liang look about ten years old, but in fact they are both very old. Don’t think that Li Yan is not famous. That’s because he doesn’t like to show off, unlike Tong Yuan.
He taught three famous disciples, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren.
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by. In the blink of an eye, Zuo Aoran arrived at Haoran Cave in Yuzhen Mountain. It was almost three months ago. On this day, Li Yan called Zuo Aoran into the room. At this time, Zuo Aoran looked very good, his face was red, and he looked particularly energetic.
Zuo Aoran entered the room, saluted Li Yanyi and said, "Master, do you have anything to do with your disciple?"
Li Yan laughed and said, "Ao Ran! You have been here for a while. From tomorrow on, I will teach you something."
This made Zuo Aoran extremely happy. He saluted Li Yan repeatedly and said, "Thank you, master, thank you, master."
But on the second day, Zuo Aoran was discouraged because Li Yan asked Zuo Aoran to practice "big shouting". Moreover, it was a very boring training method, which was to stand alone opposite a thin wooden board and shout loudly.
Call.
Seeing Zuo Aoran's listlessness, Li Yan said to Zuo Aoran: "Aoran! What, do you think this is useless?" Zuo Aoran was silent, just looking at his master with two pairs of eyes, what he meant was
Say, it’s useless in the first place!
Li Yan was helpless and had no choice but to demonstrate by himself, otherwise his apprentice would not work hard to practice. Thinking of this, Li Yan said to Zuo Aoran: "Aoran, be careful!" Then Li Yan just listened.
Yan opened his mouth and shouted: "Ha!"
Good guy, Zuo Aoran was so shocked by his master's loud shout that his head felt like it was struck by lightning. The blood vessels in his brain crackled wildly, as if it was about to burst out of his brain. His ears were buzzing, and his eyes were straight.
My heart was pounding, twice as fast as normal, and I was a little unsteady on my feet. I just felt dizzy and confused.
After waiting for a while, Zuo Aoran regained his composure, but with this loud shout, Zuo Aoran not only knew his role, but also remembered one thing, that is, before Sun Ce accepted Tai Shici again,
He once kidnapped Mi to death and drank Fan Neng to death. Only then did Sun Ce become known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong.
Thinking of Sun Ce threatening to kill a general and drinking him to death, Zuo Aoran saluted Li Yan and said, "This is a disciple who doesn't understand the master's good intentions. Please punish him."
Li Yan laughed and said, "It's a big deal to improve after you know your mistakes! Ran'er must practice hard from today on."
"Yes, master." Zuo Aoran said.
Just like that, four years passed in a flash. Zuo Aoran made his voice hoarse from the beginning and did not move the wooden board in front of him. Not only was Zuo Aoran not discouraged, but he also knew how to find the trick on his own. Gradually, Zuo Aoran discovered
, if you want to move the wooden board with a shout, you don’t just shout with your voice, but use the energy of Dantian to move it. (Don’t think that mentioning the energy of Dantian means internal strength and qigong, it is just a kind of seal-like energy.
It’s just a resonance sound with dolphin sound.)
It only took Zuo Aoran more than three months to master the trick of drinking. Li Yan was delighted when he saw it, and thought to himself: "When I master this skill, it will be enough."
It took me a year and a half to understand it!" Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and watched his apprentice practice carefully.
Zuo Aoran started practicing with a half-finger-thick wooden board. After he could drink, Li Yan began to thicken the wooden board for Zuo Aoran, layer by layer, until Li Yan nodded and acknowledged that Zuo Aoran had mastered this skill.
The board has been thickened to about one finger thick.
Time flies like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it has been four years since Zuo Aoran arrived at Haoran Cave in Yuzhen Mountain. On this day, Li Yan called Zuo Aoran into the room. This time, Zuo Aoran looked very good, his face was red and he looked particularly energetic.
Zuo Aoran entered the room, saluted Li Yanyi and said, "Master, do you have anything to do with your disciple?"
Li Yan laughed and said: "Aoran, you have been here for more than four years. From tomorrow on, you will put down all the work you are doing and start practicing according to the requirements of your master." This made Zuo Aoran very happy.
Well, if Zuo Aoran had not insisted on being polite, Zuo Aoran would happily jump up and down and stand on tiptoe.
But on the second day, Zuo Aoran was confused. Why should he learn martial arts? Li Yan led Zuo Aoran to the backyard and pointed at the eight-mouth giant tank.
Half of it is buried in the ground, and the upper half is exposed outside. Li Yan said: "There are many people in the temple, and we are very short of water! We use a lot of water, and the few small tanks outside are not enough. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to
