Chapter 1 Extraordinary
Chapter 1 Extraordinary
The time came to noon, and the golden sunshine passed over the city wall, leaving a shadow in the ancient city of Changqing County..
Although the sun is shining, spring has just begun and the weather is not necessarily violent..
On this street called Fruit Street, as usual, there are many vendors and stall owners selling goods along the street. There are also some jugglers on the street shouting loudly, attracting many pedestrians to watch..
On the street paved with blue-gray stone bricks, an enlarged and widened brown-yellow carriage slowly passed by, its wheels grinding against the ground, making a crunching sound..
In the carriage, Su Heng slowly opened his eyes.
He had just had breakfast less than an hour ago, but now he was sitting in the carriage, smelling the smell of pancakes, fresh pastries and various fried foods in the air, but he felt a faint feeling in his stomach again. Feeling hungry, I couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva..
Unknowingly, it has been more than five years since he traveled to this world called the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has gradually begun to adapt to the life here..
When he just traveled through time, Su Heng was also extremely ambitious..
Relying on the knowledge in his memory, he made soap, refined salt, and purified high-strength wine, helped the family develop the industry, and earned a lot of money. He also eagerly wanted to practice martial arts, longing to be able to control the martial arts world and become a master of martial arts.……
Um，
It's a pity.
Su Heng's dream of becoming a martial arts master only lasted three months..
Although there are so-called martial arts, Zhuang Gong, artistic conception, etc. in this world, they focus more on conditioning the body rather than fighting with others. Those so-called first-class masters in the world can hardly defeat an armored man holding a spear with bare hands. warrior.
After knowing that this world was not even considered low-level martial arts, Su Heng's passionate desire to become a martial arts master was slowly extinguished. He had been working hard for such a long time, and now he finally traveled through time and became a rich man. Young Master, you can’t enjoy life to the fullest.
This enjoyment of life lasted five full years.
It wasn't until a certain incident happened three months ago that Su Heng was surprised to discover that he was actually……
“The law！”
The neighing sound coming from outside the carriage interrupted Su Heng's thinking, and the carriage that was driving steadily on the road slowly stopped..
“What happened? "Su Heng asked through the car curtain..
The driver of the carriage was named Li Si. He was short in stature but shrewd and capable. He won the trust of Su Heng's father, Mr. Su. Therefore, he became Su Heng's personal bodyguard and was almost inseparable when he was outside..
Li Si stood on the carriage, raised his head and observed for a while.
After a while, Li Si's voice came, "Someone found a body in the well, and people from the yamen are investigating. Many people were watching the excitement, so the road was blocked..”
“Just go around." After hearing this, Su Heng didn't think much about it..
“drive！”
“drive！”
Li Si waved his whip and drove the carriage around the street ahead..
The carriage left from Guozi Street and entered another slightly cooler Wutong Street with many big trees planted on both sides..
Amidst a neighing sound, the carriage stopped again.
This time it was not an accident, but they had arrived at the destination of their trip..
Li Si got off his horse and opened the door curtain. Su Heng then slowly stepped out of the carriage and stood firmly on the ground. In front of him was a tall gray-white courtyard. The plaque in front of the door was bathed in the mottled shadow of the sycamore tree, which read "Pure" "Yang Martial Arts Hall" with four flying dragons and phoenixes.
in front of the gate，
A female martial artist wearing white training uniform has been waiting here early..
The female martial artist is about 27 or 27 years old. Although her appearance is not very stunning, her fair face is attractive. Especially her figure is bumpy. Through the loose training clothes, you can see her chest and buttocks. The silhouette looks full of capital and mature temperament.
“Junior Brother Su." The female martial artist's name is Ning Wantong, and she is the daughter of the owner of Chunyang Martial Arts School..
This Chunyang Martial Arts School once had a prosperous period in Changqing County, but now in the Zhou Dynasty, the overall atmosphere emphasizes culture over martial arts, and it is indeed difficult to gain any fame in martial arts in a short period of time. Chunyang Martial Arts Museum, naturally and slowly declined.
In recent years, it has become extremely difficult to even maintain it..
It was Su Heng's participation and a random amount of money that helped the martial arts school tide over the difficulties..
When she saw her big benefactor coming, Ning Wantong's face was naturally full of smiles and her attitude seemed very eager..
“Senior Sister Ning." Su Heng nodded slightly as a greeting..
Under the leadership of Ning Wantong, the two walked through the entrance hall, passed a beautiful garden, and then came to a separate courtyard on the west side. Under Ning Wantong's service, Su Heng changed his clothes, also wearing pure white. practice clothes.
The two came to the practice room.
The practice room is divided into two floors, facing north and south, and is spacious and bright..
In the practice room, the floor is paved with solid wood, and various wooden stakes, sandbags, etc. needed for exercising strength are placed in the corners. At this time, just after noon, there are seven or eight young disciples in the room who are practicing pile work. A senior brother with a dull face pointed out their shortcomings in posture seriously..
From one static action to another static action.
Every change of movement was accompanied by hums and hehes. The voices of seven or eight people sounded in unison, which could be considered loud and clear..
Su Heng paused briefly on the first floor, his eyes passing over these young disciples..
Then he and Ning Wantong came to the second floor.
Compared to the first layer.
The second floor of the practice room is much more open..
Except for a small wooden table in the middle, a few futons, and a mural hanging on the east wall, there are no additional decorations. Sunlight shines into the room through the open window, and you can actually see it. fine dust in the air.
Sitting cross-legged next to the wooden table was a bald middle-aged man with a slim figure and a height of only 1.56 meters, but with bright eyes and a very energetic look..
This man’s name is Ning Zhibai, the owner of Chunyang Martial Arts School, and also Su Heng’s nominal master..
Of course, nowadays, fewer and fewer people in the Zhou Dynasty are willing to work hard to practice martial arts, and martial artists do not have any special status. Moreover, Chunyang Martial Arts School was brought back to life because of a sum of money funded by Su Heng. Therefore, in the past, When they get along with each other, it seems that Su Heng's status is more respectable..
Seeing Su Heng coming, Ning Zhibai also took the initiative to stand up with a smile on his face..
“Master Ning." Su Heng nodded slightly, and the two sat down opposite each other..
“How are you practicing recently? "Ning Zhibai took the initiative to chat. Ning Wantong on the other side made a pot of hot tea for the two of them, then bowed and left..
“Everything is fine." Su Heng thought, "There are just some things in practice that I still don't quite understand..”
“What's the matter? "Seeing that his big benefactor was serious,.
Ning Zhibai also straightened his back subconsciously, with an expression of listening carefully on his face..
“There are a total of five levels of Pure Yang Kung. After practicing to a high level, it can not only benefit from cold and heat, and be immune to all diseases, but also extend life to a hundred years and be full of energy. But is it just that? Is it possible through some special method, or Use the medicine to reach a deeper state and gain incredible power." Su Heng stared into Ning Zhibai's eyes and asked seriously..
When Ning Zhibai heard these words, his original serious expression gradually turned a little speechless..
Even so, the young master Su in front of him was someone he could not afford to offend. Ning Zhibai took a sip of hot tea, sighed helplessly, and then said seriously, "In this world, anyone who can One can be considered a good player if he has many enemies..If you can beat an armored warrior with bare hands, you can be called a first-class person. The so-called master can only defeat ten armored warriors at the same time..
Although Pure Yang Kung Fu is a long-established technique, it cannot help you break through the limits of the human body. What is more important is to regulate your breath and walk on the path of righteousness and peace..
There is no so-called skill in this world that can allow people to break through their limits.
Even those powerful masters in the world are powerful for only two reasons..
One is that they are talented, and the other is that they spend all their time and energy on martial arts training and engrave all kinds of moves in their muscle memory, so they can fight faster than their brains when fighting with others. come first.”
“Is that so? "Su Heng stared into Ning Zhibai's eyes, a little disappointed, but he could also see that his cheap master was not lying..
“You demonstrate the Chunyang Kung Fu, and I'll see how your recent practice progress is." Seeing Su Heng wanted to ask again, Ning Zhibai could only quietly change the subject..
Su Heng nodded, drank the tea in the cup, and then stood up from the futon..
Pure Yang Kung Fu is divided into pile kung fu and breathing technique.
The so-called Zhuang Gong is a series of static movements recorded in Pure Yang Kung, sometimes paired with specific formulas..
There are a total of twelve shapes in the pure Yang Gong, starting from the three-body shape of hands and feet together, elbows and knees together, and shoulders and hips together, to the final shape with the body slightly tilted, arms stretched up and down, the back of the head, neck and spine A line of floating clouds.
If the switching between movements is coherent and natural, and the breathing is smooth, the pile skills of pure Yang Gong will be considered qualified..
As for the breathing method, there is nothing special about it, and it is even simpler..
Normal people's breathing only passes through the lungs, so it appears short and rapid during strenuous exercise. However, with the help of some special formulas and breathing methods, the gas can infiltrate into the abdominal organs, making the breath appear long and powerful. This method is different from Su The singing skills of some of the high-pitched singers I have come across before are somewhat similar..
“Not bad, not bad." After several sets of pile skills, Su Heng felt faint sweat on his forehead. Ning Zhibai handed over a clean white towel next to him, with a look of sincere admiration on his face, "In the process of practicing martial arts, you are Very talented.”
“If you can study hard and practice hard, you can also become a great master." Ning Zhibai said with emotion..
After saying this，
Before Su Heng could answer, he laughed to himself..
“However, even being a Grandmaster means nothing to you..”
For ordinary people, practicing martial arts is barely a way out. But the Changqing Su family is not only rich in wealth, but as the eldest son of the family, Su Heng is destined to inherit such a huge family business. This is a good thing that not many people can envy. matter.
“Master Ning, I want to be alone for a while." Su Heng took the towel, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then whispered to Ning Zhibai..
“Well, that's fine." Ning Zhibai didn't think too much about it..
He just said in a very easy-going manner, "If you have anything else, just call me downstairs..”
“good.”
Su Heng nodded.
After Ning Zhibai left along the stairs, Su Heng turned around and looked at the slightly mottled murals on the wall..
The content on the mural is very simple, and can even be described as empty. In the center of the picture is a red sun, with white clouds rolling around it, as if a strong wind is roaring. In the distance, you can vaguely see some green mountains outlined with thick black brushstrokes..
The paintings of the Zhou Dynasty pay attention to the use of form to describe the spirit, and to have both form and spirit..
If you look at it from this perspective, the mural in front of you can only be regarded as inferior, and there is not much that is outstanding..
But it happens，
When practicing Chunyang Kung Fu, Su Heng can always gain some insights while staring at the mural in front of him..
For example, right now, Su Heng was looking at the mural in front of him. He was clearly bathing in the warm afternoon sunshine, but he felt a strong wind blowing inexplicably. It was as if he was standing on the top of a dark and gloomy mountain, with the mountain wind howling and lead clouds above his head. Rolling, the sun rises, and the glazed golden light shines out……
“call！”
Su Heng's chest rose and fell, he closed his eyes, and slowly came back to his senses from the artistic conception of the painting..
When he opened his eyes again, lines of gray-white fonts appeared vaguely in front of him, forming an attribute bar..
【Name: Su Heng】
【Height: 1.85 meters】
【Weight: 215 pounds】
【Kung Fu: Pure Yang Kung Fu (Fifth Level)）】
【Attribute points：10】
This simple attribute column suddenly appeared after Su Heng practiced Pure Yang Kung Fu, and after Su Heng's verification, he was basically able to confirm that the attribute points in the column were positively correlated with weight. In other words, , for every kilogram Su Heng’s weight increases, he will gain one attribute point..
As for why Su Heng suddenly wanted to practice Pure Yang Kung Fu……
The reason is quite simple.
For more than five years, Su Heng enjoyed life, indulged in sex, gained weight, and lost his will. He originally planned to practice martial arts to change his daily routine, recuperate his body, and increase his energy and blood..
But I never thought that just a few days after I came into contact with Pure Yang Kung, I would find that I had the golden finger that was five years late..
What Ning Zhibai said was right..
Su Heng is extremely talented in martial arts and is expected to become a great master..
In less than three months, he had perfected the Pure Yang Kung Fu. Although Su Heng didn't know what Ning Zhibai's state was, judging from the conversation just now, it seemed that Ning Zhibai was very good at the Pure Yang Kung Fu. His attainments should be far inferior to his.
because，
After practicing to the fifth level.
Su Heng felt more and more that his body was like an inflated rubber ball, with a feeling of fullness that had nowhere to vent. He could already vaguely detect another realm of Pure Yang Gong, which was a completely different new world. But However, there is a thick oil film separating it, which is like seeing flowers in a fog. You can only feel it but cannot step into it..
It is precisely because of this that Su Heng guessed that Chunyang Gong had a sixth level, or even a more advanced level..
Just wanting to break through to the sixth level requires some kind of special "medicine" as a stimulus. Su Heng came here this time because he wanted to get information about this "medicine" from Ning Zhibai. But it was a pity. Yes, after a conversation, Su Heng had no obvious gains..
“Ning Zhibai probably really doesn't know, but I have a second way." Su Heng's eyes were blank, staring at the attribute panel in front of him..
Exercises column.
A gray-white "+" sign faintly appears after the fifth level of Pure Yang Kung..
Su Heng concentrated his attention and lightly tapped on the "+" sign. In an instant, a suction force appeared out of thin air. The ten attribute points that Su Heng had finally accumulated blurred and then disappeared..
