Although the sun was blazing on the shore, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were still uncomfortable with the cold. After they landed on the shore, their first action was to immediately run towards the fire.
While warming themselves by the fire, their buttocks kept shaking up and down, as if they were sending telegrams. The corners of their mouths were blue, their bodies were covered with goosebumps, their teeth were bared and their mouths were cracked, looking like they were in agony.
It was the afternoon three days later. On this day, they relied on their amazing endurance and physical strength to soak in the sea for seven hours at a time starting from the morning tide without even eating lunch, and finally exceeded their quota.
"Old Knife Fish" request.
Under the unbearable gaze of "Little Baizi", "Old Saury" felt extremely surprised that they could do it in such a short period of time. But then, not only did he not show any appreciation on the surface, but he also
He said it deliberately in a contemptuous tone, as if he wanted to attack them.
"How's it going? Does it feel good? It took three days to do it, but it's a bit late."
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan showed no emotion or dissatisfaction at all. They both answered honestly with trembling teeth.
"This bowl of rice looks really unpalatable."
"Old Swordfish" nodded at their answers, but still didn't give up, and then began to test further in a threatening manner.
"I have to tell you in advance. You will have to practice 'Zha Mengzi' later. You have to know that the deeper you are from the sea, the lower the temperature below. When it reaches eight or nine meters, the water below is simply
It's bone-piercing. What's even more dangerous is that the water pressure will be very high, squeezing you all the time, making your ears and nose extremely painful. If you don't do it right, your eardrums may be ruptured, and the feeling is terrible.
It’s far from being comparable to the current level. In comparison, this is just trivial. Think about it again, do you still want to continue practicing?”
Fortunately, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not disappoint him on the other hand. After suffering so much, they were not weak at all.
Hong Yanwu said hurriedly, "Practice, why don't you practice? You got through it this way, too. Besides, if you can't stand this, won't you be unable to go to the sea in winter?"
Chen Liquan’s answer was the simplest. “There are no hardships that cannot be endured, only blessings that cannot be enjoyed.”
"Old Swordfish" then smiled slightly, feeling relieved that they had passed their initial test, and even felt a great sense of relief.
Because famous teachers may not necessarily produce great disciples, you must first make sure that what you want to teach is good material for blacksmithing.
As expected, he did not miss the mark. Not only were these two boys very modest and pragmatic, but their determination and perseverance were far better than their physical strength and understanding. This gave him a more certain certainty that he could train them to be the best.
"Haichengzi"
He is almost certain that as long as they can pass the "Zha Meng" test, they will not lose to him back then!
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who had only rested for an hour on the shore and had something to eat, quickly returned to the sea at the urging of "Old Swordfish".
Because in the plan of "Lao Daoyu", the golden season of the year for "Hai Bong Zi" will officially begin at the end of June. It is quite necessary for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to become familiar with the "Zha Meng Zi" technique as soon as possible.
If they practice a day earlier, they will gain more.
Moreover, you frequently dive into the cold seabed and go to the hot shore to bask in the sun from time to time. This frequent alternation of cold and heat is also a great exercise for the human body.
The biggest advantage of this is not only that they are less likely to catch a cold, but also necessary training to be able to go into the sea after winter. Only in this way can their bodies truly adapt to the cold weather.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and "Old Saury" didn't want to waste any more time. He was so excited that he must teach Hong Yanwu and Chen Laoqi the technique of "Zha Mengzi" in the dark. So as soon as he entered
In the sea, he took the lead and started to demonstrate the movements.
The movements of "Old Swordfish" may be said to be the most standard on the entire northwest coastline.
I saw him bending over, with his head facing down, his palms together, his arms stretched straight down, his feet together, his legs straight, and his body suddenly plunged into a vertical streamline shape. Those beautiful movements in one go were eye-catching.
It just felt satisfying.
And his explanation of technical points is also very clear.
He said that the real "Zha Mengzi" must be done by kicking the butt out of the water and holding the legs straight in the air.
Because only in that way can the body be stretched into a stick, and the body stretched like a stick can dive into the bottom of the water like a cannonball. As long as the movements are standard, you don't even need to paddle or kick, and you can almost reach the bottom by relying on the force of the rapid descent.
But if you cannot do this, it will be troublesome. Not to mention the high resistance, it will greatly affect the depth of the dive. It is also very common for the nose to choke with water.
In fact, there are many people who are good swimmers and have good physical strength, but they can't reach even a chopstick deep, and they float up with a whirring sound, as if their stomachs are filled with air, and even holding big rocks is useless. The reason is
It's just that they can't master the "Zha Mengzi" action.
For such people who cannot live and die as "Hai Bongzi", "Hai Bongzi" also have a unique and slightly discriminatory name - "Hai Bongzi".
It should be said that in the heart of "Old Saury", what he was most worried about was that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were stumped by "Zha Mengzi" and could not pass this final hurdle.
Because anaerobic diving is not difficult to say, and the secret will be revealed once you learn it. But on the other hand, it is easier said than done, and some people just can't master it. If they really can't learn it, then it can only be said that God will not reward them.
This is a bowl of rice. Even he has no good solution.
But when he really tried it, he realized that his worries were completely unnecessary and even ridiculous.
Because in fact, the technique of "Zha Mengzi" goes back to the ability to control the body and strength, which is what Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are best at.
And don't forget, among the basic skills that "Yuye" asked them to practice in the past were "holding the big top" and "somersault".
When these two boys were twelve or thirteen years old, they could already walk using their hands for support, and even turning a hundred somersaults was just a trivial matter. Therefore, for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, with their old skills, they could do it
This action is actually quite easy.
As a result, Hong Yanwu, who had the fastest grasp of "trips" and moves when learning wrestling, passed it in one try, dived into the sea like a fish, and caught a handful of sea sand. Although Chen Liquan's understanding was worse, he was able to do it the third time
It will also happen during testing.
In this way, the two of them completely shocked the "Old Saury".
He really didn't expect that these two boys were just like people living in the sea. They seemed to be born to be "sea bumpers". No matter how difficult the skills seemed to ordinary people, they could master them once taught. This is really true.
It was the only one he saw in his life.
So at this time, he became more courageous. He took Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to swim to a reef in the shallow water area of "Xinghuo Bay".
It’s not for anything else, the main reason is that the water here is almost three feet deep (in jargon, one foot and five feet), and you can see that the underwater rocks are covered with “thorn pots”.
You know, "Hai Pengzi" has just learned "piercing Mengzi", and he must first learn "piercing" and "piercing the pot". "Lao Yuyu" brought Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan here just to see them "piercing".
"How much energy is there in the process of "piercing the pot".
The so-called "thorn pot" is actually the name of "sea urchin" itself. Books call them "sea urchin".
Although it can’t be sold for much these days, it’s quite delicious. When you break it into pieces, you’ll find golden flesh like orange segments inside, which is fragrant and fresh. It’s said that this stuff is extremely nutritious, and people say one can eat it.
An egg. The foreign devils are particularly greedy for this kind of thing, especially the brown sea urchin from the Liaodong Peninsula of our country, which is not second to the rest of the world.
Frankly speaking, "Hai Bangzi" doesn't take fishing for "thorn pot" seriously because this thing grows in a shallow water environment and is easy to spot. It can be seen from a long distance, and it is relatively easy to catch.
But it's not completely without danger, because these little hedgehog-looking guys lying lazily on the rocks are not cute at all. They have at least 10,000 hateful thorns on their bodies, and they will all become abnormal.
It was so sharp that the palms trying to catch them were pricked with scars.
And they also have a magical ability. As long as the thorn tips penetrate into human skin, they will automatically break off and leave the thorn tips in the human skin.
It would be extremely unlucky for anyone to be stung, because the thorn tip will melt into water within a short time and cannot be picked out even with a needle. This water is poisonous and can cause pain and itching, and the person will be stung within a few days.
A big and painful lump will bulge out of the place. There are many "sea bumpers" who are just starting to learn how to prick, and when they practice using "prick pot", their hands will be pricked like toad skin.
Therefore, the correct way to catch these things is that you must wear gloves and have quick hands. Otherwise, as long as the "thorn pot" feels that your hand is trying to catch it, it will "brush" to the reef, allowing you to catch it all at once.
If it doesn't get up, its thorns will start to rise up, which will probably hurt people.
According to the original plan, "Old Saury" originally wanted to explain this knowledge first, and then give the water mirror and gloves to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan so that they could try it out in the water separately.
The main purpose was to see how they used "Zha Mengzi". But he never expected that an unexpected situation would happen. The surprise that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan brought to him for the third time today was so unbelievable that he was completely stunned.
Not enough to say a word.
What's going on?
Qingqing Hong Yanwu's favorite bite among seafood is "sea urchin". The water today was particularly clear. When he discovered that there was a "thorn pot" like a big bowl on the rocks under the sea, he couldn't control it on the spot.
He was so excited. He didn't even allow "Old Saury" to speak. As soon as he greeted Chen Liquan, the two of them plunged into the sea in a flash.
As soon as "Old Saury" was worried that they would be stabbed and injured, the two men returned to the sea, each holding several "thorn pots" in their hands.
They were using their bare hands. Not only did they not show any signs of pain, they were actually quite excited, as if they were holding a few fluffy chicks.
Can "Old Swordfish" still get dizzy?
He didn't know that Hong Yanwu had practiced "Pai Da Gong", and he didn't know that Chen Liquan could also "split muscles and crush bones". He just felt that there was something incomprehensible about the two of them.
An extremely unreliable idea even popped up in my mind.
These two boys are not the biological sons of the Dragon Prince, are they?
