Chapter 67: Training to Be Like an Ape (Eight Updates, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
How much money did the second brother stuff?
Li Yuan was frightened, and his worry outweighed his joy. The Li family had been in ruins for many years, how could he still have any wealth to give to Fatty Sun?
I'm afraid they are all borrowed...
Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan concentrated his attention, unwilling to waste this hard-won opportunity to learn martial arts.
These days, it is so difficult to learn the art of blacksmithing, let alone martial arts?
"Don't be dissatisfied. Apart from me, who else is willing to teach you such precious martial arts as the White Ape Cloak Hammer?"
Fatty Sun snorted and said:
"Raise the hammer and stand at the stake!"
As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked a prepared hammer over.
Li Yuan was excited, holding the hammer, subconsciously glanced at the gray light on the hammer, and then stood up from the white ape stake.
"The eighteen postures of the Hammer Technique and the Standing Technique of the Pile Kung Fu you learned are not false, but they are lacking something..."
As soon as Li Yuan heard the voice, Fatty Sun had already arrived in front of him, his fat body leaning forward with full pressure:
"White Ape Breathing Technique!"
A big hand like a cattail leaf fan pressed down on his shoulder, and Li Yuan felt a heat in his shoulder and arm:
"You should read it clearly and remember it, I will only demonstrate it once!"
Li Yuan was busy concentrating.
Fatty Sun took a deep breath, and when he exhaled it, his breathing rhythm had changed.
It was an extremely unconventional breathing method. Li Yuan almost lost his breath after trying it subconsciously.
But at this time, he naturally did not dare to be distracted in the slightest, and concentrated his attention, memorizing all the six breathing patterns that Sun Hao changed.
"Inhale and exhale, three short and six long, one inhale and nine exhales..."
…
"When do you maintain the Ape Six Breathing Method while standing and practicing the cloak hammer, you are considered a beginner!"
Just like before, after teaching something, Fatty Sun kept his word. After teaching it only once, he turned around and went back to the house. But not long after, he came out again and threw a booklet over:
"In addition to the breathing method, the origin of the White Ape Cloak Hammer, pile skills, and hammering techniques are all in the booklet. I remember, do you know the words? Then you can read it yourself. By the way, you can only read it here, and you are not allowed to take it out. !”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Sun!"
Li Yuan hurriedly took the booklet and immediately reacted:
"How about fighting?"
"You still want to learn how to fight?"
Fatty Sun sneered and turned back to the house:
"I'll take another ten taels of silver and teach you how to play!"
"Take it again? Second brother actually gave him ten taels of silver?"
Li Yuan took a breath.
An apprentice in the middle school earns thirty coppers a month, and less than a penny in three months. If he is given away ten taels of silver, if it were not for learning martial arts, it would be a waste of blood!
The entire two-story building where his second brother lives now costs only four taels of silver a year...
"Ape Six Breathing Technique!"
Li Yuan was bleeding from heartache, and he didn't dare to be distracted at all, forcing himself to remember Fatty Sun's six breathing methods.
If you forget one and a half things, you will really vomit blood.
Under the moonlight, Li Yuan was sweating profusely, recalling Fatty Sun's breathing method over and over again.
A full half an hour passed before he took a deep breath, and the chill of late autumn suddenly came over him.
"I've memorized this breathing method, and I'll try it slowly later."
Without any intention of entering the house, Li Yuan took advantage of the moonlight to find a leeward corner in the corner of the yard, practiced his breathing technique a few more times, and then squatted down and took out the booklet given by Fatty Sun.
"Sure enough, the person who can be the master of the courtyard is not as easy as those apprentices said..."
Rubbing his cold palms, Li Yuan felt a little chill in his heart.
After what happened tonight, he didn't dare to underestimate Fatty Sun.
His second brother stuffed him with ten taels of silver, but for more than a month, he didn't feel any preferential treatment.
He even suspected that if he hadn't shown some talent these days, the fat man might not even be able to teach him this breathing technique!
"White Ape Cloak Hammer!"
Taking a breath and suppressing his distracting thoughts, Li Yuan carefully opened the booklet.
Thanks to Li Lin's persistence, the predecessor was literate.
"The inside is a pile, the outside is a hammer, and breathing is the core! Using the breathing method to penetrate the pile technique and the hammer method is the introduction!"
Li Yuan silently recited each word in his mind.
In the booklet, there are the pile skills and hammering techniques he has learned these days. There is not a single move missing, but it is more detailed.
For example, the inner and outer triad mentioned by Qin Xiong, and the origin of this ape-shaped cloak hammer.
The external three-in-one cooperation emphasizes the integration of hands and feet, the integration of elbows and knees, and the integration of shoulders and hips. The internal three-in-one integration refers to the integration of heart and mind, the integration of intention and energy, and the integration of energy and force.
The qi in the inner three combinations refers to the breathing method. Without the breathing method, it will be difficult to practice even if you get this book.
Not to mention the Dacheng realm of Liuhe penetration, it is impossible to achieve the inner three unity.
"Beginner, Master, Small Success, and Great Success! The four realms of the White Ape Cloak Hammer. I wonder what realms Qin Xiong and Fatty Sun are?"
Li Yuan was fascinated. Suddenly, he was excited and saw something of great interest:
"You can train until your body looks like a white ape, then you can accumulate blood and become internal strength!"
Inner energy!
Li Yuan turned over again and found that there was only one page at the end. There was no mention of playing style or inner strength, which made him quite regretful.
"The White Ape Cloak Hammer is easy to learn but difficult to master. It has low-level bones. You can stand for three hours a day and practice the hammering method twelve times. You may be able to get started in two years, and you may be able to master it in seven years...
If you have a medium root bone, you should be able to start in half a year, and if you have a good root bone, you can start in more than a month! "
Li Yuan closed the booklet.
It takes more than an hour to practice the 18-style Hammer Technique, and the 12th practice, and three hours to stand still. The apprentices of the Intermediate Court simply don't have that much free time.
"Practice like this, even if you eat the food before the middle school, your body will not be able to withstand it. You will be exhausted before you can practice it..."
Li Yuan sighed in his heart and became more eager to leave the middle courtyard.
Knowing that the apprentice in the front yard practiced for four hours a day and supported him for three days a day, he felt that his time was wasted.
If you don’t take a break from work, you won’t be able to practice martial arts at all.
The three coins given by the second brother cannot withstand the consumption of martial arts training.
"Practicing martial arts is too difficult. A White Ape Cloak Hammer with no fighting skills has to be taught in so many steps.
But this is just the basis.
Medicinal supplements, not to mention medicinal supplements, without enough meat, the progress will be too slow..."
Li Yuan murmured in his heart, but looked at the small house where the lights were still on. Fatty Sun's huge figure could be vaguely seen on the window paper.
"The entry-level knife skills should be enough, right?"
…
…
After sleeping for less than six hours, Li Yuan got up from the Datong bunk. He slept with his clothes on. He got up slightly at first, but as soon as he got up, there was a sound behind him.
"You get up so early every day?"
Niu Gui's low voice came.
"Occasionally."
Li Yuan didn't look back and pushed the door open.
It was a cold day in the early morning of late autumn. Li Yuan first warmed up and stretched his muscles, then started to stand and consciously adjusted his breathing.
Yuanliu Breathing Technique is not complicated, but how can it be simple if you want to adjust or even reverse the breathing habits formed over many years?
Li Yuan tried many times, but felt tightness in his chest. He couldn't stand for even half an hour before he couldn't hold on.
"How can a normal person breathe like this?"
Pressing his chest, Li Yuan waited for a while before continuing to try, fearing that he would lose his breath.
After doing this several times, it was already bright, and the sounds of other apprentices getting dressed and getting up could be heard in the house.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing Li Yuan leaving the courtyard, Niu Gui, who had not finished his work, couldn't help but ask.
"Ask for leave!"
Li Yuan replied and came to Fatty Sun's courtyard with the hammer in hand.
The rooster crowed three times before Fatty Sun yawned and pushed the door open. When he saw Li Yuan, he couldn't help but be slightly startled:
"What are you doing here? You don't think you don't have to work because I taught you Yuan Liu Breathing Technique, do you?"
"Master Sun, my disciple wants to learn cooking from you."
Li Yuan lowered his head and bowed.
As an apprentice of the Intermediate Court, if you want to improve your food and salary, you can't go around Fatty Sun.
He had been preparing as early as a few days ago and bought the butcher's bone chopping knife just for this purpose.
Originally, he was still thinking about building friendship first, but after what happened last night, he thought he could give it a try.
Even if it doesn't work, it will only take a beating and scolding to survive. If it works, it will relieve his urgent need.
If the body is not well maintained and the nutrition is not kept up, even if a proficient level hammer is added to the body, it will not be able to perform well.
"Want to be my apprentice? You can climb up the ladder!"
Fatty Sun wanted to scold and laugh at the same time, but thinking about Li Lin's generosity, he still left some room:
"The money your second brother gave is not enough to be my apprentice, that's another price..."
Li Yuan said nothing, but stretched his hands to his lower back.
"Still not leaving?"
Fatty Sun's face was full of impatience, and he waved his hands to drive people away, but suddenly he was stunned, and his anger suddenly surged up:
"Good boy, how dare you take my kitchen knife? Your skin is tight, right?"
laugh!
He pulled out Fatty Sun's big kitchen knife from his waist. Before the latter's anger rose, Li Yuan raised his hand and held it in his hand.
On the way here, he went to the kitchen to get Fatty Sun's knife. It was a weapon that was not inferior to a training hammer.
"Huh?"
Fatty Sun was stunned. He had been a cook for twenty years, so he certainly had good eyesight:
"How many years have you practiced knife skills?"
Fatty Sun was a little surprised.
The cook of the Central Courtyard is responsible for the meals for No. 180, so the knives naturally have nothing to do with smallness. His meat cleaver is half a meter long, and his face is so wide, which is not what ordinary people are used to.
But that boy named Li Yuan, with a sword in hand, seemed to be waving his hand skillfully?
"I've been practicing for a few years now."
Li Yuan lowered his head and answered.
Having served the old man in his previous life, he naturally knew a little bit about knife skills and cooking, but the reason he was able to do it so smoothly was because he had mastered the butcher's bone-chopping knife.
This is also the reason why he came here.
"Good boy, this technique requires at least three or four years of hard work, right?"
Looking Li Yuan up and down, Fatty Sun's anger gradually subsided and he narrowed his eyes:
"Do you remember what I said yesterday? With your knife skills, it's not that you can't be hired as a helper, it's just..."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Sun..."
Of course Li Yuan knew what he wanted to say, and he immediately offered the meat cleaver with both hands:
"Disciple just wants to eat enough, and for the rest, just follow the master's orders!"
