Inside the ear room, it feels warm and cozy.
Xiaohuan asked curiously:
"The young master will become a master of martial arts in the future. Can he fly to the sky, escape from the earth, spit fire and thunder, as written in the storybook?"
What storybook do you read?
Which martial arts master has such amazing abilities that are all over the world!
Xiaotang shook his head and smiled:
"The one you mentioned is the "immortal master". Most of his deeds are made up based on hearsay.
With the young master's talent, after three and five years of hard training, he is able to turn iron into clay, raise his hand to throw an elephant, pull down nine oxen, replace beams with pillars, surround and suppress a hundred people, and be invincible... In the martial arts, he is already the most powerful master."
Xiaohuan stared with wide round eyes, as if he was imagining that the young master was dressed in white, his horse was fast and his sword was raised, and the bandits and bandits fell in droves.
Then the scene changed, and the young master flew into the sky with his sword, his immortal aura fluttering, traveling around the mountains and rivers, catching the sun and the moon...
Xiaohuan held his round face with both hands and muttered:
"It would be great if the young master could become an immortal. I read in the storybook that if a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven! The young master has become a powerful immortal master. Hehe, I will reward Xiaohuan with a few elixirs. Xiaohuan is willing to rub the young master's shoulders and back for a hundred years!"
You are so beautiful!
Listening to this stupid girl's innocent words, Xiaotang smiled.
As my thoughts were wandering, I suddenly thought of my father's emotion while chatting.
--Dharma disaster descends from heaven, and the road to heaven is cut off.
"Immortal... there should be no such thing in this world."
Late autumn, night falls.
The cold wind is howling and the chill is overwhelming.
In the spacious and open courtyard, it is like a big stove rising, steaming and emitting heat.
Lu Sui walked slowly and punched.
I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to practicing Qigong these days, and the improvement effect is quite remarkable.
Nowadays, wherever Qi and Blood goes, the muscles are twisted like steel wires, swollen, tough and thick, almost like cowhide.
After beating Blood Exchange, Lu Sui would ask Heiwa to hit his chest, back, shoulders and thighs with a stick every day.
It's like scratching an itch, no pain at all.
"If I change my blood a few times, I'm afraid I'll be able to withstand sharp and blunt injuries with my big muscles, Bone Aspect.
But if you want to be invulnerable, you have to learn to practice external skills, and train the skin to be strong or soft, like fine iron that has been forged ten times or a hundred times."
Lu Sui punched repeatedly, and his muscles, bones, and flesh were constantly being squeezed under the majestic pressure like a heavy-bearing mountain.
Just like the process of forging iron, the hammers hit one after another, causing Qi and Blood to surge and become hotter and hotter.
[Seeing your Qi and Blood condensed like mercury beads, "Panwu Great Strength True Art" is very approving and will help you Blood Strengthening nourish your bones and go further...]
Boom!
As the punch gets faster and faster, Qi and Blood rushes rapidly, and Lu Sui can still hear the violent heartbeat coming from the body.
When you push it with all your strength, it's as dull as beating a drum!
"Unfortunately, there are not many Leopard Fetus Sinew-Changing Pill left, only two pills left.
If there are more of these powerful medicines, I, Blood Exchange, will be so fast that I may be able to shock Master Tan's jaw."
Half a stick of incense passed by in a flash, Lu Sui slowly stopped his posture, and when the pores around his body opened, the extremely rich Qi and Blood spread out.
The boiling hot air and the cold outside stir up each other, like a piece of coal entering water, making a hissing sound and sending up wisps of white smoke.
"Three hundred and sixty-nine punches! The progress is becoming more and more obvious!"
Lu Sui is quite satisfied, regardless of whether Changle County is undercurrent.
First hold your fist, improve Qi and Blood, and strive to enter the "Force Tempering" level as soon as possible.
You can put other things aside for a while.
Another day of hard training is over.
After the sweat had dissipated, Lu Sui walked into the house, called out "Xiaotang", and asked him to help him bathe and change clothes.
"Master, Master!"
Xiaohuan was still thinking about Lu Sui being rewarded with elixirs if he became an immortal, so he took the initiative to show his courtesy:
"I can also go to the bathroom and massage your shoulders and back..."
Why are you joining in the fun of this girl's movie?
Lu Sui glanced sideways, grabbed Xiaohuan's round face, and gently pushed it aside:
"You are not suitable. Such "professional" matters must be left to Xiaotang."
Xiaohuan pursed his lips and felt aggrieved:
"Master, you are so underestimating me! Xiaohuan may be able to do it. Female red is good at knitting! Sister Xiaotang can do it, so can I!"
The numerical scale between the two of you is really very different.
Lu Sui looked helpless and had no choice but to say:
"Xiaotang, I'm going to the bathroom first. I'm very tired today. I need to soak for a while to relieve my fatigue."
Xiaotang's cheeks were slightly red, as if there were hidden meanings in Lu Sui's words. He nodded lightly and said:
"The slave will come soon. My aunt sent some styrax and frankincense from the courtyard. I will give some to the young master to try later."
Lu Sui strode out of the house, leaving only Xiaotang and Xiaohuan.
"The young master practices diligently and takes a bath to slow down his energy. It's troublesome to serve him."
Xiaotang comforted softly:
"You are sometimes careless and careless. If you make the young master unhappy, you will easily get scolded."
It turns out that I wasn't thoughtful enough.
Xiaohuan smiled happily, patted her chest and promised:
"Hmph, sooner or later the young master will see my hard work and change his mind about me!"
Xiaotang nodded in response, and took out a few boxes of supplies for later use from the locked red lacquered high cabinet in the ear room.
"Incense box, toilet water... Hey, sister Xiaotang, why do you still have a small bottle of balsamic oil?"
Xiaohuan took a look and asked curiously.
"I will apply it to the young master to lubricate... the skin for easy massage."
Xiaotang looked slightly unnatural, and hurried away with the lacquer tray in both hands.
I'm afraid that if Xiaohuan keeps asking more questions, I might get clues.
I was speechless all night and fell into a deep dream.
Until three poles high in the sun, Lu Sui stepped into the east wing of the outer courtyard.
As the weather got colder, frost killed all the grass, and withered yellow locust leaves fell all over the courtyard.
The nursing staff were cleaning and shoveling away the dust with dustpan.
"The young master is here."
When everyone saw Lu Sui, they quickly saluted.
My young master has become successful recently and has become Changle County's most famous young hero.
Usually in private, when everyone is chatting, they can't help but compare the young master and young lady of Five Great Trades.
Lu Sui can't be said to be a dandy who bullies others by fighting with hawks and dogs, but he can definitely be regarded as an embroidered pillow who hangs around in smoke and willows with no knowledge or skills.
Compared with Zhou Jing, the eldest son of Yaxing who has already taken care of his father's business; Yongning Prefecture, the famous four martial arts show;
As well as the few young owners of the carriage and shipping companies who personally escorted the cargo and fought off the saber bandits, they were undoubtedly dwarfed by comparison.
In addition, Lu Yulin has great prestige, which makes it even more like a "tiger father and dog son".
Now Lu Sui has finally earned some face for the Lu Family.
The servants in the mansion also admired him sincerely and wished they could follow him.
Like Heiwa in Dou Xiaowen's courtyard, he has followed Lu Sui in and out of the martial arts gym, training every day, and his martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds.
Let other nursing homes be eager to take their place.
"Uncle Wen, Zhan'ao came to see you."
Lu Sui shouted, opened the curtain, and saw Dou Xiaowen sitting in the room, with a charcoal pot at his feet, a dry tobacco bag in his right hand, and took two puffs.
"Young master, practicing Qigong diligently is as simple as eating and drinking.
It has only been a while, but my muscles, bones, and frame, Breath, Qi and Blood, have grown a lot."
Dou Xiaowen said with a smile, without much surprise.
He had heard from Yang Kunbing two days ago that the eldest young master Root and Nature was well-equipped to be an incense burner.
Compared to this news, Lu Sui's great progress in martial arts seems insignificant.
"It's all thanks to Uncle Wen to lead me in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to practice today."
Lu Sui sat aside familiarly.
In the entire Lu family, he had the easiest time getting along with Dou Xiaowen.
Master Chai is a boring gourd, and Yang Kunbing has a sense of distance.
As for Lu Yulin, it can be said that father and son are very close to each other and quite distant from each other.
It belongs to the more classic "Chinese-style relationship between the patriarch and the weak only son".
This is still based on the premise that Lu Sui intentionally adds "familiarity".
"Old Donkey Yang came to congratulate me, and I was surprised when he called me."
Dou Xiaowen sighed:
"I didn't expect that I, an old man with half my body buried in the ground, could teach such a good young master like you."
Lu Sui smiled implicitly.
Although the "animal friends" such as turtles, snakes, monkeys, and gray cicadas in the ancient temple shrines have greatly helped him practice martial arts.
But it is also inseparable from my hard work and wisdom.
All gains are deserved!
"Uncle Wen, I have something to ask you to advise me on."
Lu Sui didn't beat around the bush and asked directly:
"Master Tan wants to teach me how to kill, so I asked Hundred Victories Martial Arts School's senior brother Zheng Rong to show me blood and practice my courage.
I'm worried about how I can choose the right weapon."
Dou Xiaowen twitched his eyebrows and said slowly:
Tan Jingzong of "Hundred Victories Martial Arts School" is known as "Seven-Transformation Shadowless Legs" and is known as "Southern Leg King" because he comes from Guan Nei.
The eldest young master followed him to hang the curtains, so he must have practiced his footwork and body skills well."
"Lances and sledgehammers are the next best choices because they are long-strength and short-duty weapons that use force to subjugate people. It takes a lot of effort to use them."
Iron halberds and wooden halberds are weapons in the army. They must wear armor, ride horses, and charge with the formation to show their power."
"Thinking about it this way, it's best for the young master to use short weapons, which are suitable for practicing swordsmanship."
Dou Xiaowen is an old Jianghu after all, with unique and sharp vision, he continued:
"But the sword is too light and is weak in cutting. It is easy to suffer losses in head-to-head encounters. Secondly, it is difficult to deal with armored warriors and masters who are skilled in horizontal training."
"If you want to use a sword, you must first use a "hidden" approach so that the enemy does not take obvious precautions; second, add methods that can kill a group of enemies, so as not to fall into an encirclement and suppression, and be unable to use your weapons."
Look, this is called professional!
Dou Xiaowen's analysis of the pros and cons, Lu Sui deeply agrees:
"So, Uncle Wen, can you teach me the best choice?"
Dou Xiaowen looked like an elder who was asked for red envelopes during the New Year, and said with a smile:
"The eldest young master has left me here to catch the autumn wind.
That's all, I happen to have a suitable weapon..."
Dou Xiaowen said as he stood up, walked into the back room, and opened the big wooden box where the treasure was stored.
After rummaging around for a while, he came out holding a black satin cloth belt.
Before Lu Sui could ask a question, Dou Xiaowen raised his hand and twitched, only to hear a very light "clang" sound.
With a flash of green light, the coiled "belt" suddenly straightened and turned into a three-foot-long green blade.
Dou Xiaowen held it in his palm, flicked his wrist casually, and the green light swayed.
Lu Sui, who was sitting on the Nanguanmao chair, felt as if he was being stimulated and had chills on his back.
Then, he looked down.
Click.
The corners of the hardwood table are dropped to the floor and the cuts are smooth.
"So sharp! This is a soft sword that can be worn around the waist!"
Lu Sui's eyes flashed with surprise.
Killing someone with a soft sword is indeed sinister!
"How is it? Are you satisfied, young master?"
Dou Xiaowen flicked his wrist again, and the blade of the sword, as thin as a cicada's wing, rolled back, wrapped around the crook of his arm, folded his arm, and gathered all its edge.
"Uncle Wen really understands my intention! This soft sword is very appropriate!"
Lu Sui nodded repeatedly, not hiding his affection.
Dou Xiaowen put the soft sword hidden in the satin that looked like a belt on the table, tapped it a few times with his fingers, and sighed:
"This sword is called "Finger-Wrapping Softness". It is made of jade-grained steel that is repeatedly folded and forged. It is different from common materials such as fine steel, iron iron, ladder steel, and ice-cracked steel.
The young master may not be aware that jade-grained steel is extremely tough and light. With special smelting techniques, ten pieces can be combined into one to achieve a combination of strength and softness.
This soft sword was made specifically for use in the underhand killing method... it just goes well with the eldest young master's martial arts."
Lu Sui Picked up the "belt" and took a closer look. The head of the sword was made of a round buckle, and the mouth of the sword was made of plain copper. It had no carved patterns and could be coiled or folded.
The "scabbard" is a special sandwich belt lined with soft leather, and the sword body is hidden in it without any clues.
He shook it with a little force, and the coiled sword automatically popped out, turning into a frightening murder weapon.
"Finger-Wrapping Softness, what a good name! As light as nothing, but invincible!"
Lu Sui praised and turned to look at Dou Xiaowen:
"Uncle Wen, can you give up your love? Over there in the accounting room, I can spend thousands of taels of snowflake silver, even if I live and work frugally for the next month, I will be willing to do so!"
Lu Sui did not rely on his status as a young master, so he treated Dou Xiaowen as a "house slave" and took away Finger-Wrapping Softness at will.
Lu Yulin wouldn't dare to be so negligent, let alone him.
Furthermore--
When you are below others, treat yourself as a human being; when you are above others, treat others as human beings!
This is a truth that Lu Sui has experienced deeply in his previous life.
"The eldest young master is seeing someone else. Since he likes it, just take it.
This mouthful of "Finger-Wrapping Softness" is useless if I keep it in my hands. It will only collect dust and eat dust. It also needs regular oiling and maintenance..."
Dou Xiaowen's eyes are full of vicissitudes of life, as if expressing nostalgia.
Is there a story here?
Lu Sui asked curiously:
"Uncle Wen, you practice horizontal training, how come you have such a good soft sword?"
This question directly scratched Dou Xiaowen's itch.
Older people are always happy to reminisce about the past, especially in front of younger generations.
"That happened twenty years ago. When I was in my prime, walking Nine Ridges and Ten Mountains, I fell in love with a woman and wanted to marry her to be my aunt."
Dou Xiaowen said softly:
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, eldest young master. I've been wandering around in flowers all my life, never touching a leaf. It was only that time that made me want to start a family."
Lu Sui couldn't help but make up a ridiculous piece of content.
Such as family opposition, breaking up the marriage; carrying deep hatred and being unable to promise...
"I originally wanted to take her to elope, stay away from the Nine Ridges and Ten Mountains, and become a happy couple."
Dou Xiaowen's tone is full of regret:
"Unfortunately, she was stopped by her husband who was over fifty years old..."
"..."
What a sudden turn, what a huge amount of information!
Lu Sui originally thought there was a tragic love affair, but unexpectedly Uncle Wen turned out to be an "adulterer".
"That's all, that's all, don't mention the old things."
Dou Xiaowen said freely:
"Except for this "Finger-Wrapping Softness", there is one more thing that comes in handy.
Young Master, I'll take you to Old Donkey Yang's place to enjoy the autumn breeze, so you can catch the rain and dew!"
"Old Donkey Yang That guy has the most treasures, and he usually doesn't want to show them off. Young Master, you are accomplished in martial arts, so it is reasonable to ask him to give you a small gift."
As Dou Xiaowen got up, Lu Sui followed suit.
The two of them rushed towards the west wing and soon arrived at Yang Kunbing's residence.
"Old Donkey Yang! Get your set of "Listening to Spring Rain in a Small Tower" quickly..."
Dou Xiaowen took the lead, and before anyone could cross the threshold, the sound came into the courtyard.
Lu Sui follows behind, waiting for another "harvest".
"Old Wolf Dou, you are still so noisy! You have done so many immoral things in your life, why don't you die?"
Yang Kunbing was feeding the donkey. When he saw Dou Xiaowen coming as an "uninvited guest", he wanted to rush out.
But his eyes flashed, and he saw Lu Sui following behind him, and sighed:
"Old Wolf Dou, what do you want "Listening to Spring Rain in a Small Tower" for? The young master Root and Nature knows everything. There is nothing he can do well in learning. He has to use flying knives and hidden weapons."
The other weapon matching the soft sword is actually a flying knife?
Lu Sui is surprised.
In this way, I can be regarded as a "double sword"!
