In the room, the youngest Gan Lei asked Gan Yu: "What is the name of my junior brother's enemy?"
"My name is Zhang Hu'er. It seems that she was chosen by Xuanhu Palace."
When Gan Yu said this, he suddenly gave him a wary look, "Lao San, don't do this nonsense. You have caused enough trouble for Master."
"Don't worry! I won't mess around, I have rules!"
Gan Yu curled his lips and said, "You only have a few tricks. Either you will be bitten to death by a poisonous snake, or you will fall off a cliff, or you will accidentally enter a wolf's den. Apart from these dirty tricks, what other methods do you have? Don't think that everyone is a fool."
, can’t you guess it was you?”
"Tch! Fatty, I'm going to do something new this time. I'll make sure they can't guess it and make my junior brother angry."
"Brother!"
Suddenly Guo Song's voice came from behind. The two turned around and saw Guo Song standing at the door at some point.
The two of them laughed quickly and said, "Junior brother is back?"
Guo Song walked in and said calmly to Gan Lei: "That Zhang Hu'er is something I miss. I want to surpass him, so I practice martial arts hard. If he dies, my thoughts will be gone. Thank you for your love, senior brother."
, but let’s keep him!”
Gan Lei chuckled and said, "Okay! Then I'll leave it to you and kill him yourself in the future."
"Junior brother, what basic skills does master teach you?" Gan Yu asked curiously.
Guo Song scratched his head, "I don't quite understand, what are the basic skills of the two senior brothers?"
"I am this!"
Gan Yu took off his belt and hung it on the bedside and door, then lay down gently on it, "I've been sleeping with this belt for five years."
"It turned out to be sleeping on a rope!"
Guo Song exclaimed and asked Gan Lei, "Where is the third senior brother?"
"I lift stones. I lift them hundreds of times a day. I start with a weight of forty pounds."
The two of them looked at Guo Song together, "I am practicing Golden Rooster Independence!" Guo Song walked out of the room and stood on one foot in the yard, with his right hand holding the sword across his head and his left hand pointing somewhere on the tree trunk, motionless.
Gan Lei and Gan Yu looked at each other, what are they practicing?
"You two, don't disturb him and go about your business!" Mu Zhenren glared at the two of them from the side.
The two senior brothers had no choice but to go back to their rooms angrily.
Mu Zhenren silently watched Guo Song not far away, and saw that he seemed to be an old monk in meditation, paying no attention to the outside world.
He nodded and returned to his room with his hands behind his back.
On the first night, Guo Song stood for a full three hours. Of course, he could not stay still. He would stop for ten minutes at most and rest for a while before continuing. In the end, Guo Song almost crawled back, so tired that he could not stop.
He lost consciousness and lay on his bed all of a sudden, unable to move.
Ganfeng brought a bowl of medicine as thick as syrup and placed it in front of him, "Drink it! After drinking it, go to bed."
An extremely pungent smell made Guo Song sit up immediately. It was like the smell of rotten eggs from chemical plants in later generations, which made him nauseous.
Gan Yu patted his back and said with a smile: "It does stink a little, but you'll get used to it. Just hold your nose and drink it in one gulp. How about I pinch it for you?"
"I will do it myself!"
Guo Song pinched his nose, picked up the bowl and drank it without discerning the taste. Halfway through, he suddenly bent over and retched violently. Fatty Gan Lei, with quick eyes and quick hands, pressed down on his chest and abdomen, and Guo Song
Song Cai didn't spit it out.
Gan Yu quickly handed him a bowl of water. Guo Song drank half the bowl of water in one breath and took a long breath, "This taste is so fucking ecstasy. I'm about to die. Brother, I'll have to drink it for five more years."
ah!"
"Five or three years will be the same. Just get used to it. You will miss it very much in the future. Come on! Drink the remaining half of the bowl."
Gan Lei pinched Guo Song's nose and forced half a bowl of medicine into Guo Song's stomach. He chuckled, "That's how my second brother poured it on me back then. Let me try it too, haha! It's really hard to force people to take medicine."
It’s so damn good!”
Guo Song rolled his eyes in anger and was speechless.
After taking the last sip, Guo Song lay on his back on the bed and asked after a while: "Brother, what is the name of this medicine?"
Gan Yu said with a smile: "This is called the ecstasy nectar, and it's also called the broken heart jade liquid. You will soon taste its other taste."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Song's stomach began to growl, and Guo Song's lower abdomen hurt as if his intestines had been broken.
"ah!"
Guo Song yelled, jumped up, clutched his stomach and rushed out.
Gan Lei shouted from behind with a smile: "Lao Wu, you have to go farther!"
Guo Song was tortured seven or eight times that night. At the third watch, he was completely exhausted. Although his lower abdomen was still hurting, he couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep.
........
Early the next morning, his stomach was no longer upset, but every muscle in Guo Song's body was sore and unbearable, and he couldn't even lift his arms when brushing his teeth.
Gan Lei looked gloating and said: "Lao Wu, who asked you to practice so hard on the first day and still be independent? Now you can't stand up even if I have three legs."
"You're a fat guy who only speaks sarcastic words!"
Guo Song glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "I can't move today anyway, you can go find food by yourself!"
"That's not okay. Master doesn't allow that."
Gan Lei looked at his master's room. The door was locked. He must have gone out early in the morning. He whispered: "You really can't walk. Brother, I will carry you down, but you have to go. Master's rules are very strict."
"I don't want you to carry me on my back, I will go down the mountain by myself."
Although Guo Song's arms and whole body were in unbearable pain, his legs were fine. He picked up a bamboo stick and followed Gan Lei down the mountain.
After walking for a while, the pain in Guo Song's body gradually disappeared, and he was able to hold onto trees with his arms. He asked with some confusion: "Brother, what on earth was the medicine I drank last night?"
Gan Lei smiled and said: "Everyone who practices martial arts must take medicine, but the medicines prepared by each person are very different. Some take Dali Pills, and some drink Shujing Huoluo Powder. To be honest, I don't know Master's formula."
, but I heard the boss said that the recipe prepared by Master is composed of more than forty different medicinal materials, and each of us is different. I feel that the medicine you drank yesterday was ten times worse than what we drank at the beginning."
"Then what effect will it have?" Guo Song asked again.
"Just four words, strengthen muscles and bones, you will understand later."
The two of them talked and quickly went down the mountain.
.........
Time flies so fast, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Guo Song follows Gan Lei out for food every morning, chops firewood when he comes back, then works hard to practice Golden Rooster independence, and finally sleeps after drinking the medicine.
It was like this every day, and he gradually adapted to this high-intensity life, but the longing for his wife and daughter would hit him from time to time, making him immersed in great sadness. At this time, he would practice like crazy, using
The extreme exhaustion of the body makes one forget the sadness in the heart.
This morning, Gan Lei and Gan Yu went to Qingniu Temple to sell medicine, and then went down the mountain to buy some cloth. Their Taoist robes were in tatters and had to be replaced.
Guo Song also discovered a characteristic. Although the Taoist robes they usually wear are very old, they are not tattered and have not many patches. However, every time they go down the mountain, they wear them deliberately in tatters, as if just to show others how they live in Xiangshan.
How hard it is.
But why he did this, Guo Song still couldn't figure it out. It felt to him as if there was some treasure hidden in Cuiping Peak and someone else was looking for it.
Gan Lei was away, so Guo Song had to go looking for food alone. Seeing that the weather was not very good, he simply chopped firewood before leaving.
In the words of fourth senior brother Gan Yu, labor is martial arts training, and Guo Song gradually realized it.
For example, chopping firewood is actually practicing swordsmanship. When he first went up the mountain, it took him a whole day to chop 200 firewood. A month later, he could chop 500 firewood in an hour.
But now, he can chop a thousand firewood in half an hour, and chop them with one knife, as fast as Gan Yu.
But in the past, Gan Yu would help him cut off the tree trunks section by section, but now he left them to him, asking him to cut them short one by one, and then split them into several pieces.
Guo Song dragged a pine tree that was about ten feet long and used a hatchet to cut off all the branches. With one slash of his knife, the pine tree as thick as the mouth of a bowl was chopped off with his knife. "Ka! Ka! Ka!" eight times in a row.
Cut the pine tree into eight pieces and kick it aside.
At this time, Guo Songruo felt something. When he turned around, he saw Master Mu Zhenren standing aside with a smile. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Third Senior Brother has gone out. I will pick peaches later. The peaches are already ripe."
.”
Mu Zhenren stepped forward and looked at Songmu, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"It's a little bit beyond my expectation. You can actually cut off the tree trunk with one knife?"
"A few days ago, the disciple needed two swords to cut through the wood. Since the day before yesterday, the disciple found that his strength has increased again, and he can cut through the pine wood with one sword."
"Not bad!"
Mu Zhenren stroked his beard and praised: "It's half a year earlier than I expected. How long can your golden rooster stand on its own now?"
"The most I stood for was more than an hour, usually more than half an hour."
Mu Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, "I can stand for an hour in half a year, which is faster than I did back then. It took me a year of practice to stand for an hour."
"Disciples dare not be complacent and will continue to work harder."
Mu Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to pick peaches today, come with me!"
He turned around and walked towards the west cliff. This is where Guo Song almost got lost in the heavy fog the next morning when he went up the mountain. Below is a cliff of ten thousand feet, a huge cliff, five hundred meters high, like a knife cutting it.
It is as smooth as a mirror, but there are many century-old vines growing on it, each one as thick as an arm.
Mu Zhenren jumped lightly and jumped down the cliff. Guo Song was startled and hurriedly looked down. The clouds and mist below were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. However, he saw his master hanging three feet below the cliff, holding on to his hand.
An old vine grew.
Mu Zhenren pointed to another old vine next to him and said with a smile: "Jump down and grab it!"
"What?" Guo Song suddenly widened his eyes.
