The heavens began with Huo Yuanjia

Chapter 4 The Shameful Iron Fist

"Tie Zhu, why do you want to learn martial arts?"

There are no doors and windows in this room, and the wind is ventilated from left to right, so the environment is not very good.

However, at night in the mountains, the breeze is cool, as long as you are not directly in the open air, there is a pile of grass to cover your body, and you don’t have to worry about catching a cold.

Li Yong just lay down, when he heard insects screaming outside, he heard Huo Yuanjia ask this question.

This is actually a question that Huo Yuanjia had from the very beginning. In this mountain village, the people are simple and honest. As long as he is willing to work hard with both hands, he can survive and will not be bullied by anyone.

After all, the folks in the village don't see those who look up when they look down.

Even if it was a conflict like the one before, if it wasn't for the kid's own mistakes, it wouldn't have happened.

If two villages really want to have a large-scale conflict, it can only be a major event such as a water dispute that is related to the livelihood of the village.

So Huo Yuanjia couldn't figure out why Li Yong was so obsessed with practicing martial arts.

After all, the more villagers he saw were either busy with farm work and housework and had no time to think about other things, or they had no dreams at all, only life.

Practicing martial arts does not make Li Yong's life better, at least not in this village.

Moreover, how could he be sure that he must be very good at martial arts and be able to teach him well?
In fact, apart from practicing martial arts, the two of them also talked about other things before.

The level of knowledge revealed in Li Yong's words made Huo Yuanjia not believe that he would be an ordinary villager living in a valley.

If it wasn't for Li Yong's peculiarity that made him feel curious, even if he calmed down and his temper became better now, it would not be so easy for him to decide to accept apprentices.

"There is no reason, if you want to learn, learn."

Huo Yuanjia shook his head, but changed his way of asking: "Then why do you practice martial arts?"

Li Yong said without even thinking about it: "To keep fit, of course it is also for self-protection, so as not to be bullied."

Huo Yuanjia laughed and said: "Who is bullying you, why didn't I see it?"

Li Yong also knew that it seemed that Huo Yuanjia should have seen something, and he asked so many questions all at once, obviously for another purpose, so after thinking about it, he decided not to hide it anymore.

"Master, I don't want to stay in this mountain village all the time. I want to go out! If I go out, people outside will definitely not treat me like the people in the village. If I don't have the time to help me, I will be a foreigner without money and power. People will definitely be bullied.”

This was the first time he confessed to Huo Yuanjia, even though it was half-truth, it also surprised Huo Yuanjia, he didn't expect that he really wanted to leave.

But after hearing what he said, he unconsciously thought of the outside world.

At this time Li Yong asked again: "Master, can you tell me what it looks like outside?"

No one knows Huo Yuanjia's origin, but everyone in the village knows that he was picked up by Yueci.

"Outside..." was interrupted by Li Yong's question, his memory was interrupted, he was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing good outside..."

"Then master, do you intend to stay here forever, or will you go back?"

"..." Huo Yuanjia was really caught by the question, at least at this moment, he didn't think about going back, let alone leaving here.

The leisurely life in this mountain village brought him spiritual cleansing, allowing him to completely walk out of the violent and extensive life in the past.

Of course, it also broke away from the previous decadence, allowing him to feel the hope of life again.

After being silent for a while, Huo Yuanjia said: "Go to bed first, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning. Don't think that you can escape the morning exercise if you go to another village."

"Ah?!" Li Yong was startled and immediately grimaced.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the master and apprentice began to grope out of the room in the dark early in the morning, and then prepared to start the routine morning exercise.

Speaking of which, when he was in the village before, because he didn't want to be known by Grandma Sun and Yueci, Huo Yuanjia took Li Yong to finish training early, and then went back to pretend to rest before doing farm work.

After so many days, it didn't arouse others' suspicion.

It's not that no one wakes up earlier than them, but they all choose to be in a relatively hidden place like the back mountain slope, so it's hard to meet them.

But now that they were in the next-door village, they didn't have so much to worry about, so the two of them immediately prepared to start exercising not far from this house.

However, there is a steep slope here, which is actually similar to their usual environment. According to Huo Yuanjia, he chose this place because the wind is strong and it is most suitable for horse training.

Anyway, Li Yong didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so he just listened to what he said.

What surprised them was that when they arrived at the place, they found that there was already someone here, and they could barely be regarded as "acquaintances".

Well, the one who just got acquainted is the stone collar in this village.

As soon as he approached Huo Yuanjia, he commented: "It's been at least 20 years since I started this game, but if you want to catch up, it will be impossible in this lifetime."

"Don't bring such shocking people?" Although Li Yong also knew that he was too late to learn martial arts, it would be difficult to make a big breakthrough without accidents, but he also wanted to hear good words.

Of course the stone leader over there also noticed them, but judging from the direction they were going, he knew that they were not trying to sneak away, so he didn't move where he was, and only asked from a distance: "What are you two going to do?"

"Practice martial arts," Li Yong said with a smile, "Brother, aren't you the same?"

Shitou collar snorted, and said: "Just what kind of martial arts are you practicing like this, don't make people laugh."

Huo Yuanjia had already passed the time of being competitive, so he ignored him at all, and pulled Li Yong to stand beside him.

As a result, the Shitou collar followed him for a while, then suddenly put away his posture, walked over and said: "Looking at you like this, you really have two tricks, but I don't know if you have a real skill."

Huo Yuanjia ignored him, and Li Yong gave him a funny look, thinking to himself, how could anyone fall for such a simple aggressive method?
As a result, the stone collar seemed to be full of energy, so he didn't practice his own, and pestered Huo Yuanjia to comment on it.

No matter how good-tempered Huo Yuanjia was, he was impatient, and finally turned around and asked, "This...brother, what do you want to do?"

"Fight with me!" Shitou collar slammed, and showed his fist, saying: "I have never met an opponent with my iron fist. I want to see how many punches you can resist me?"

Huo Yuanjia smiled, and only said: "I don't know martial arts..."

After finishing speaking, he continued to come over to guide Li Yong.

Li Yong thought to himself, master, can you be more serious about your old nonsense, will anyone believe such words?

Sure enough, the stone collar not only didn't believe it, but also took it as a humiliation, and suddenly yelled and grabbed Huo Yuanjia.

Huo Yuanjia immediately pushed Li Yong away, and at the same time avoided Shitou Ling's grasp, then raised his hand and said, "Friend, I don't want to fight with you!"

The stone leader didn't ask or answer, but he grabbed it again. Huo Yuanjia still chose to dodge, and then he grabbed again...

After doing this several times, the stone collar suddenly moved towards Li Yong, apparently wanting to use him to force Huo Yuanjia.

Li Yong secretly groaned in his heart, when he was still practicing the basics, he knew that he was definitely not the opponent's opponent just by looking at his body, so he could only dodge while hoping that Huo Yuanjia would come over to help quickly.

Huo Yuanjia did not disappoint him, he caught up and dragged Shitou collar, and then the two shoulders bumped each other, and then separated.

Stone collar's original target was Huo Yuanjia. Seeing that he finally made a move, he left Li Yong alone and grabbed him again after laughing.

This time Huo Yuanjia finally started to fight back, first he stretched out his hand to touch Shitou Ling's fist, then immediately followed up with a stride, raised his knee and flew Shitou Ling directly.

Shitou Ling took a few steps back, but instead of being annoyed, he grinned and said, "You still say you don't know martial arts?"
