Chapter Eleven: The Grades of Martial Arts for the First Time
When it was dawn, Zhang Sui got up and went to the courtyard to exercise. He saw Lao Lu laughing and talking to Widow Liu. Widow Liu heard this and pushed Lao Lu. When she saw Zhang Sui walking out of the room, she quickly saluted him and said
"Young Master, get up. Breakfast is ready. You can eat it when you finish your activities." Zhang Sui nodded. Widow Liu also turned around and went to work.
Lao Lu came closer and said with a smile: "I thought that the second master would sleep in after what happened yesterday, but I didn't expect to get up so early."
Zhang Sui replied: "Fortunately, although I slept late yesterday, I couldn't fall asleep at 0:00 in the morning, so I just got up and moved around." After that, he started his daily exercise.
Lao Lu marveled at the side and said: "Second Master is not a mortal after all. He just took a life yesterday with his own hands. I thought I didn't sleep all night, but I didn't expect that I acted like a normal person. It's so powerful! I remember the first time I killed an enemy.
, I vomited for a long time, and I didn’t feel relieved for several days. Later, after killing too many people, I no longer felt anything.”
Zhang Sui was doing push-ups and didn't talk to him.
Lao Lu came forward again, squatted next to Zhang Sui, and said with a smile: "How about I teach you the training methods in the army? In fact, the effect of your exercise is not great. Only the coordination of breathing methods can
I wonder if Second Master is willing to learn how to increase your strength faster?"
Zhang Sui looked at Lao Lu's attentive look and knew that he must have something to say to him. He stood up to take a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Lao Lu speechlessly: "We have a close friendship. If you have anything to say, just go ahead and tell him."
Tell me, why are you trying to beat around the bush?"
Lao Lu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Master, don't you want to go to the clan school to study with Mr. Meng? There must be someone around to run errands. Lao Lu, I am old and have difficulty moving. Why don't you tell the clan and let me help you?"
Is that boy Fang Xiong coming back to run errands for you?"
Fang Xiong was the son of Widow Liu. He originally ran errands with Zhang Sui and was sent to the farm after getting into trouble.
Zhang Sui looked at Lao Lu and smiled: "Aunt Liu asked you to come to plead for mercy?"
Lao Lu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That's my idea. I'm too old to walk."
Zhang Sui looked at him sideways: "I don't think you are getting old, but you want the old tree to bloom!"
Lao Lu smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Sui waved his hand and said: "Okay, let me talk to the clan leader Zhang Bing. After all, it was because of my words that he broke his head. Seeing my performance now, the clan elder should give me some face."
Lao Lu thanked her repeatedly. Widow Liu who was busy and pricking her ears quickly ran over and knelt down to thank her. Zhang Sui quickly grabbed her and said: "It was my fault that Nobita was sent to the farm. Now I am begging for mercy."
Coming back is what I should do, you don’t have to do this. Besides my friendship with Lao Lu, I should also find a way to get him back."
Widow Liu glanced at Lao Lu and wondered when he had developed a deep friendship with Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui said to Lao Lu: "Since you want to live a good life with others, please ask the elders in the clan to help. What will happen if you keep delaying like this? Be careful that someone will get there first and talk to the clan to marry him off. With you,
Regretful."
Lao Lu shouted: "Let me see who dares, I will chop him alive!"
Widow Liu blushed and kicked Lao Lu. Lao Lu immediately became honest and said repeatedly: "I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll ask my old man to talk to the clan. I'll definitely have some face. If it doesn't work, I'll do it."
I will go to the ancestral hall and make a big fuss." Widow Liu said anxiously: "You still dare to make a fuss. You are so old and you are so shameless!"
Lao Lu quickly apologized and begged for mercy: "No more trouble, I'll go and beg for mercy."
Zhang Sui looked at Lao Lu's appearance and sighed. After seeing the murderous and fierce Lao Lu yesterday, today's Lao Lu is really eye-catching!
Zhang Sui ignored the two of them and continued today's exercise plan. Although there are many changes in spells for physical exercise in "The Book of Wishful Desires", he can't learn them now, and water from far away can't quench near thirst. Now he still needs to exercise his body well. When encountering
You can also run away from danger faster. Otherwise, if you have the magic to reach the sky, you will be killed by others because you can't run away. It will really be a shame for the owner of the golden finger.
Lao Lu and Widow Liu were bored for a while and then sent her away. When they came to Zhang Sui's side, they watched him waving the skipping rope to the ground.
Master, how about I teach you breathing techniques?"
Zhang Sui stopped to take a breath and asked, "Can this army be spread abroad?"
Lao Lu curled his lips and said: "It's not some profound method. Once you practice it, you will strengthen your body and increase your strength. It's not an undisclosed secret of those high-ranking sects. It's okay."
Zhang Sui asked curiously: "What are the effects of practicing those high-level martial arts skills? Can you step on the snow without leaving a trace and jump three feet?"
Lao Lu laughed and said: "Didn't the Second Master ask me before? There are no such people in the army, and those high-ranking sects can't do it. Their skills are indeed better than those in the army. I
When we were in the army, several of our commander's guards came from the Mengshan sect of Jiannan Dao. They were not very young, but their skills were very impressive, and they were almost at the fourth level. "
Zhang Sui asked curiously: "How do people who practice martial arts distinguish their grades? Tell me."
Lao Lu said: "It's very simple to say that warriors are divided into seven levels, and each level has some characteristics. For example, people in our army, after practicing for several years, will basically have the skills of about three levels. Those sect disciples have advanced skills."
The skills of people can generally reach the fourth level. As for the fifth level, they are the first-level elders of ordinary sects. If you want to take charge of a sect, you must be a master of the sixth level, otherwise you will not be able to control it. As for the seventh level, it is the legendary
It is said that he can climb on the ground and cross water, and he can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves, but this is just a legend and no one has seen it. I asked the disciples of the Mengshan Sect and they have never seen it, but according to their statement,
Their leader can control the sword with Qi, but he can only hold on for two or three breaths, so he is not considered a seventh-grade swordsman."
Zhang Sui asked: "According to this level classification, does a low-level person have no choice but to admit defeat when meeting a high-level person?"
Lao Lu laughed and said: "How is that possible! Rank can only be a general distinction. According to what you said, if there is a dispute among those sects, it is enough to come out and compete to lower the rank. Then why fight and kill? You know there is no
No one is invincible. Even if a sixth-grade master enters the battle formation, he can still be killed by us third-grade masters. We just have to pay a certain price."
Lao Lu touched his chin and said: "Just like when I was in the army, I had many fights with those Mengshan sect. When those guys came, their eyes were higher than their heads. Although they were all in the fourth rank,
In the end, we were beaten to the ground before we were able to look at us. But I have to say that those sects still have some skills, and their kung fu is very difficult, especially a little girl named Meng Zhen, whose kung fu is long and short swords, hey
!”
Seeing Lao Lu's nostalgic look, Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Don't you have any stories?"
Lao Lu looked shocked. He glanced at Widow Liu in the distance and whispered: "It turned out that I was taught a lesson by her several times, but in the end I still won the game, hehe." He carefully took out the black weapon in his sleeve.
Short blade, "This is her short sword." Lao Lu said proudly.
Zhang Sui became more and more curious and asked in a low voice: "It seems that there is something going on between you two. Why didn't you get together in the end?"
Lao Lu smiled bitterly and said: "I am the ninth disciple of the leader of the Mengshan sect. I am a military warrior. Even if I am interested, my status is too far behind. In addition, I am too old and she is too old. Later, I became lame in my right leg during the mission.
, I simply returned to Kunzhou." After saying this, he looked sad.
Zhang Sui didn't know how to comfort him, so he just patted him on the shoulder.
Lao Lu sighed: "It has been almost ten years since I returned to Kunzhou. Counting the time, her children will probably be running around all over the place." His face was still a little unwilling. Zhang Sui looked at his expression and said for a while that he was not worthy, and for a while
And I feel unwilling to do so, haha, man!
Zhang Sui interrupted Lao Lu's expression of longing for the old relationship and said: "Aren't you going to teach me the breathing method? Tell me quickly, I have to go to Zhang's house later to mention Nobita's affairs. After that, I have to go to the family to learn, so as not to disturb Mr. Meng.
I feel like I’m being negligent.”
Lao Lu came back to his senses, repeatedly said yes, and explained some tips on breathing methods to Zhang Sui in detail in conjunction with his movements. Zhang Sui followed his explanations and demonstrations and kept imitating and trying. In less than half an hour, Zhang Sui
Just master it and have it in shape.
Lao Lu sighed: "You are a scholar after all. Your brain is easy to use, and you can master the kung fu in a short time. I beat him with a whip for half a year before I learned how to master Nobita. He is really an iron-headed man." He looked like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
.
In Zhang Sui's opinion, this set of breathing methods that match the movements is not very difficult. The key is to master the coordination and rhythm between movements and breathing. If you are not careful, it is easy to get distracted.
Since Zhang Sui merged the memories of several people, his brain has become particularly good. His photographic memory cannot be compared to that, but it is not far behind. So after Lao Lu explained it a few times, he memorized the tips and cooperated with them.
The movements can be mastered in a short time.
Zhang Sui practiced it several times and felt that it was much more intense than his own set of exercises. It was not just physical movements, but mainly the mind had to constantly think about the coordination of breathing. After one set, he was sweating profusely, but the improvement was not very obvious.
I guess I just started exercising in this way and the effects haven't been seen yet.
Seeing that he had done it twice completely, Lao Lu stopped him from continuing and said to Zhang Sui: "That's enough. You just started practicing in this way. The number of times should not be too many. You can increase the number after your body slowly adapts. Otherwise it will be easy."
It’s harmful to the body, and haste makes waste.”
Zhang Sui also knew this, so he went back to his room to wash up.
After finishing breakfast, Zhang Sui greeted Lao Lu, caught up with the carriage, loaded it with the things he needed to go to the clan school, and then drove straight to Zhang's house. On the way, he also bought some buckwheat cakes and a box of southern sea food.
