In fact, both the personal experience of "Lao Daoyu" and the legend he told about "Zuhulong" all indicate the same meaning.
That is, he wanted Hong Yanwu and others to realize that, let alone the "Frustration of the Tiger and the Dragon", which could only be encountered but not sought, even if it could be found, it would still be an extremely dangerous thing, with almost no chance of death.
Moreover, although the "Zuohulong" is a sacred object, it was something that only the older generation of "Hai Bangzi" went crazy for in the past. Even if it is captured now, no one would recognize it, let alone buy it at a high price. Therefore.
"Old Swordfish" really hopes that Hong Yanwu and others can cherish their lives and retreat when faced with difficulties.
It's a pity that Hong Yanwu didn't catch this thing to sell it for money. He really had a last resort reason and it was impossible to back down. Then, he told "Old Saury" that his father was seriously ill and was in danger, waiting for help from "Frustration Tiger Dragon".
”.
He also said that if the wooden boat was going to be broken, he would go to his connections and ask for a metal fishing boat. If ordinary fishing nets could not catch the "Frustration Tiger Dragon", he would use an iron cage to bait it. In short, he had to try anyway.
The last time he tried, no matter how big the risk he took, he couldn't let his father wait for death. He just hoped that "Old Sabryfish" could show him how to find the fish.
In this way, "Old Swordfish" can fully understand that Hong Yanwu's determination may not be able to win back even nine cows.
On the one hand, it is because others have saved their lives; on the other hand, older people always have a favorable impression of those who honor their parents.
So, after being silent for a long time, "Old Swordfish" finally spit out his words. He said that if "Zuohulong" were to appear, it would be at the intersection of two currents near Snake Island after winter, but those two currents
The zodiac also changes its position from time to time, so you have to look for it temporarily to determine its specific location.
In addition, there are two very real difficulties at the same time.
First of all, the iron fishing boats all burn oil, and the current fishing tasks are heavy. Even if one can be mobilized through the secretary of the fishing village brigade to fish near Snake Island, it will still cost an extra one or two hundred yuan that day.
This is not something that can be done in a day or two. It might take a whole winter and get nothing. Who can afford such a huge expense?
Secondly, Hong Yanwu and the others are too ignorant of the sea. With their current water quality, which is the level of "dying the body" in the offshore sea, even if they can find the "Frustration Tiger Dragon", there is nothing they can do in case they fall into the water again.
, that is simply feeding the fish with your body as bait. Apart from being buried in the belly of the fish, there will be no luck at all.
Regarding these points, Hong Yanwu had to admit that what "Old Saury" said was extremely reasonable. After thinking about it, he made another request to "Old Saury", saying that they wanted to learn from "Old Saury" as "Old Saury"
"Haichengzi".
His purpose actually has two points. In this way, he can learn the water properties and increase the success rate and safety of fishing in the sea after winter. Secondly, he also wants to imitate the "old saury" to get some money from the sea so as to fish for fish.
Yu hires a boat to try to raise more funds. At least it can avoid having to sit back and have nothing to lose and save the money it brings. This is undoubtedly the only thing he can think of at the moment that can help.
"Old Swordfish" did not refuse, and his thought was very simple. Since the person who saved him had spoken, he would have to help if he could. Even if he told Hong Yanwu and the others that they could successfully capture the "Control Tiger Dragon"
There is no hope at all, but after all, "touching the sea" can still earn a lot of money. He does his best to teach others all the tricks, which can be regarded as repaying the favor.
Besides, he himself is already old and will be unable to work in a few years. He only gave birth to a daughter, and none of the younger generations of "sea bumpers" know how to respect their elders, so most of his tricks and experience are just for the bottom of the box.
If it will rot in your own stomach, what's the harm in teaching these two young people? At least it can let others understand what you are capable of.
What's more, "touching the sea" is not an easy task, it is a real hard job. As time goes by, maybe these two boys can't stand it anymore and quit. After all, they have saved two lives, so he is still
Returning the favor...
Just like that, "Old Swordfish" readily agreed. His only condition was that he had to agree on three chapters in advance.
He said that if he wanted to learn, he would never hide his secrets, but he would not be merciful and would only practice hard. If Hong Yanwu and the others cannot endure the hardships, fail to comply with his requirements, and refuse to listen to his lessons, then when the time comes
But you can't blame him for not helping.
At this moment, "Old Saury"'s attitude was both serious and stubborn, just like the way "Yuye" used to be when he took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan as his disciples.
This made both Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan feel a sense of déjà vu, especially Hong Yanwu. His decades of life experience can fully prove that only people with this kind of temper are truly capable. So both of them are extremely sincere.
He bowed to "Old Saury" and expressed his gratitude respectfully.
This kind of respect is what makes "Old Saury" the most gratified. He vaguely feels that maybe he has really met two good young people who are open-minded and eager to learn...
After all, "Old Swordfish" was old. Even after a night's rest, he was still out of breath the next day, his face turned gray, and he had not yet fully recovered from the sequelae of "diving sickness."
So he didn't go into the water during the early tide. It wasn't until after breakfast and the sun had warmed the entire "Xinghuo Bay" that he took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan into the sea and started to trick them into "sea bumpers".
"The first lesson.
As for "Xiaobaizi", although he tried his best to learn, he was firmly rejected by "Old Saury" and was left on the shore.
Because according to his words, "Little Baizi" is still too young and too thin, with sunlight shining through every bone in his ribs. How can he withstand the water flowing from the old ocean? If he teaches
Yes, that is committing evil.
Naturally, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not want "Little Baizi" to put himself in danger, so even if "Little Baizi" was not happy, he had no ability to object under the unanimous opinions of the three of them, so they had no choice but to go to the nearby store with their grievances.
I was hunting birds in the woods and collecting firewood.
Everyone knows that the first prerequisite for "touching the sea" is to have good "water nature".
"Old Swordfish" had seen Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan swimming yesterday, but because it was already dark and he was dizzy, he couldn't see accurately. So after entering the sea, the first thing he did was let them
Toured again.
The swimming skills of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were practiced in a wild lake near the capital. Strictly speaking, the postures are not very standardized. But "Old Saury" is not a professional swimming coach. In his opinion, these two boys are actually very good at swimming.
Quite good.
First of all, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan's physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. They can paddle powerfully and quickly. Moreover, when they take their arms out of the water and pat them down, they are also quite clean and neat. The clean and neat here means that they do not produce much water splash, which is really true.
It takes some effort.
But this does not mean that their swimming style is without challenges. Because their swimming style is completely competition-style freestyle, which focuses on speed and uses both hands and feet. They can only sprint quickly for a few hundred meters or a few hundred meters.
And "Hai Bangzi" needs the most long-term, non-stop fighting, which is not hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, tens of thousands of meters, but an endless marathon. Moreover, "Hai Bangzi" has to keep his hands flying.
When you go out to do other things, you must not use your arms to swim.
So the first lesson "Old Swordfish" taught them was to teach them how to swim with only two legs while holding objects in their hands.
In fact, this aspect only requires adjusting the swimming posture. It was easy for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to pass. It didn't take them long to master the two unique swimming methods of "Hai Bangzi" - leaving their arms idle and using only their legs.
The power of breaststroke and freestyle.
In addition, in order to facilitate positioning on the sea surface and adjusting the diving angle after finding sea objects, the "Hai Bangzi" must also master the ability to "tread water on the spot" in the sea without any support.
To do this requires some skills and is a bit difficult, because the waves are constantly flowing and turbulent, which is unusual for a still water lake.
However, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan greatly exceeded the expectations of "Old Swordfish". Within an hour, they were able to float on the sea with ease and maintain their position.
To be honest, "Old Swordfish" was really surprised. He didn't expect that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were like two geniuses who "touched the sea". Because even people who grew up by the sea couldn't master it without practicing for three to five days.
He did it so well that he himself learned it after practicing for a long time.
This inevitably made him more sincerely interested in teaching skills. He really wanted to see how far these two boys could learn.
But having said that, the real reason is not that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are so intelligent. They actually took advantage of having learned wrestling from Yu Ye.
Because the most important thing in the "Hai Bangzi" profession is to have two strong legs, and most of the basic skills "Yu Ye" has given them are in the legs. Considering the actual situation, I am afraid that there is really no "Hai Bangzi"
"Zi"'s legs can be as strong and strong as theirs.
Moreover, the essence of "wrestling" is to learn to control force. You must first stand up straight without falling down before you can throw others. All kinds of stumbling blocks and footwork are also the study of how to keep the chassis stable in various forces.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are people who have both strength and have mastered many techniques of using force.
To put it bluntly, they are just like Zhang Wuji who has practiced the "Nine Sun Magic Skills". With a solid foundation, they can practice any martial arts much faster than others. As the saying goes, "One method can be used to master all methods." Learning through the body
, especially the skills and techniques mastered.
However, even though they easily passed two levels in a row and received a few compliments from "Old Swordfish", some problems could not be solved by learning quickly and having a good foundation. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were very high-spirited and soon passed the third level.
It suddenly stopped in front of me.
Because although the following requirements of "Old Swordfish" are simple, they are really unbearable.
The old man said that to be a "sea bumper", you must be able to "rely on the water" and be able to stay in the sea for a long time. A good "sea bumper" will want to come up as soon as he enters the water. How can he get stuck in the water?
To something more?
Moreover, the surface and underwater are completely different worlds of ice and fire. As an over-training to adapt to this temperature difference, the last thing they have to do today is to "soak".
"Old Swordfish" said that according to their physique, they are absolutely not allowed to go ashore within more than an hour before lunch, otherwise they will fail. Moreover, after lunch, they have to go into the sea to "soak" again, and they can stay in the sea for as long as they can.
.Finally, the criterion set for them to pass this level is that they must be able to "soak" on the sea for at least six hours at a time.
Everyone who swims in the sea knows that outside of the season, people often feel unbearably cool when they go to the sea. Even if the temperature is above 30 degrees, and even if people lie on the beach and it is extremely hot, once they go into the sea, it is completely different.
Those with weaker physiques will soon run up to bask in the sun. And if you keep swimming into deep water, this feeling will be even stronger.
If your body is not strong enough, and if you have not been immersed in the sea for a long time before training, then trying to do this will definitely be a painful experience that is worse than death. Moreover, you have to go through a fire every time you land.
torture.
So, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan watched helplessly as the "Old Saury" left them in the sea, and when they swam to the shore, they looked at each other with bitter faces...
