Sword comes

If Chen Ping'an was alone, even if he went into the mountain with a heavy load, it would not be difficult to walk a hundred miles of mountain road in one day. You must know that during this period, you must cross the river and the river, and climb the cliff to support the wall, so Chen Ping'an brought the little girl in the red cotton jacket this time. , I walked so easily that I had nothing to do, so I started to practice walking. Because Li Baoping was by my side, I didn't use the kind of boxing with all my strength and spirit, but it was relatively natural, even for the sake of Taking care of Li Baoping, he also had to deliberately slow down his walking speed and reduce the distance between his steps, which made Chen Ping'an, who had finally found the trick, feel like he was suddenly beaten back to his original shape and became awkward again.

The two had walked about twenty miles at this point, and Li Baoping still had spare strength, and did not seem to be suffering, the little girl just reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "Little Master, are you practicing boxing? "

Chen Pingan stopped walking, nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Baoping asked again: "Then do you know the boxing technique you practiced, the foundation of the boxing technique, and where is the source of Qi?"

Chen Pingan was at a loss, "How do you say it? I only know that there are many acupoints on the human body. The reason why I can write hundreds of words is mainly to remember the names of those acupoints. But what does it have to do with boxing? I haven't had time to ask. There is a girl Ning who has read my boxing manual and didn't tell me. She only talked about practicing boxing. There is no shortcut, and you have to work hard to get it out. The sister Ruan you know said She practiced swordsmanship, and her family's path of luck is not easy to spread, so I didn't have a deep chat with her at that time."

In fact, the straw-shoe boy at that time felt that he was destined to finish walking in the town in his life, so he had time and opportunity to ask Ruan Xiu.

Li Baoping's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on his face, and he said with aggravated tone: "Little Master! You don't even know this, but you dare to practice boxing? Do you know that practicing boxing indiscriminately, especially foreign boxing, can easily hurt you? And fundamental vitality. Practicing martial arts is actually similar to Kanyu geographer's search for dragons and acupoints, except that geographers are looking for mountains and rivers, and warriors are looking for and excavating the treasures of their own bodies. Only when you are in the martial arts way can you really enter the room. No, no, little uncle, I have to give you a stroke on this, so that you can learn boxing well!"

Seeing her resolute expression, Chen Ping'an thought about it, and it wasn't a bad thing at all. There was an old willow tree with a crooked neck just in front of her, most of which slanted towards the surface of the stream, like an unfinished arch bridge, so he pulled Li Baoping against the trunk to rest. The little girl was out of her mind and insisted on sitting, so Chen Ping'an had to carry her to the tree trunk and stand by himself to prevent her from falling.

Sitting carelessly behind the tree, she looked like a young master who was teaching at a school for the first time. She was radiant and coughed, intending to have a good talk with this little uncle so as not to go astray. Then she can't regret her heartache to death?Li Baoping said seriously: "The reason why I know some basics about martial arts is because my family has a maid sister named Zhu Lu. She was seen by the ancestors as a talent for martial arts since she was a child, and I am very close to her. Zhu Sister Lu is also a boring person, she only likes to tell me what is in her heart, so I know what it is like to practice martial arts. It's a pity that when I was six years old, I sneaked behind Sister Zhu Lu and walked away from that man called Di Niu Zhuang Things are very fun, the tallest wooden pile is almost as high as the roof, but once I slipped on the soles of my feet and accidentally fell down. After that, sister Zhu Lu will never play with me again every time she practices martial arts in the morning and evening, and hides in the potion bucket in the house."

Chen Ping'an was a little guilty. The so-called "Sister Zhu Lu" in the little girl's mouth might be the strong girl who had two tiles on her chest and head that day. At that time, he secretly broke into the Li family's mansion and smashed two bird food with a slingshot. The porcelain jar, the maid who was protecting the little girl in Zhengyang Mountain, was the first to discover his trace, and quickly climbed over the wall and the roof, and finally jumped towards the roof where he was, reminding Chen Ping'an every time after the incident. , still think she's amazing.

Li Baoping wanted to know that he could not say anything about this guy who was always reluctant to admit that he was a junior uncle, "As an analogy, the coward Shi Chunjia and his family have a shop, and if they do well in business, they can make money. Make money and make a lot of money, so Shi Chunjia's shop can be one of the oldest time-honored brands in our town, but if you can't get in and don't know how to attract customers, you will soon be stretched, and the shop will definitely have to Close the door, right?"

As soon as he heard about doing business and making money, financial fan Chen Ping'an immediately "opened his mind" and said suddenly: "Everyone has some background, if you practice boxing well, you can make money from money, if you don't practice well, you will be trading at a loss. If you don't practice martial arts at all, you'll be keeping your ancestral business as your duty?"

Li Baoping thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means. Little Shishu, have you heard of a saying? It's called practicing boxing to attract evil, especially those outsiders who claim to be out of school every three years and beat people to death when they go out. The fist, the fist is fierce, the slashing and hanging, looking at the majesty, shouting and humming when hitting people, in fact, it hurts the body the most, because they have not found the pulse gate at all, they are not allowed to enter, Many talents will fall into a disease when they reach middle age. It’s hard to say whether they have an old age or not. Even if they do, it will be very desolate. Because from the first day of their practice, they are not trying to raise their qi and health, but to be a prodigal. , squandering ancestral property."

In the words of the ancestors of the Li family, this girl Li Baoping was born without a butt. The little girl in the red cotton jacket said that she was about to rise, and just as she was about to stand up from the trunk of the old willow, she was pressed back by her little uncle with a look. , Angrily continued: "So little master, you must take a warning, you must find the real method of practicing boxing, there are thousands of boxing methods in the world, the reason why achievements are high or low, and the future is big or small, just because Look at the at least two natal orifice points in each boxing technique. You can't find them. After you find them, you will see if you can find the best route and the most moisturizing points along the way. The rank of the score is not high, but as long as it is on the right path, it can also strengthen the body and prolong life, but if you take a fork in the road, the better the boxing score, the easier it is to do bad things.”

Chen Ping'an fell into deep thought, and he could feel the presence of that qi. It was like a small homeless fire dragon in his body, wandering around a large stove. Before, this fire dragon was a bit like a headless fly, ramming everywhere. , turned his head after hitting a wall, and now its range of activities is getting wider and wider, but eventually it will return to the vicinity of those Qi palaces in the abdomen, wandering uncertainly, like a child who goes out to play, and wants to go home after exhaustion, but it is not yet. Find the real doorstep.

This mysterious and mysterious air flow has never brought any discomfort or pain to Chen Ping'an. Instead, it has made the young man feel warm in the sun in the winter. Chen Ping'an's perception of the internal organs of the body is extremely sensitive from a very young age. What went wrong with her, she could soon realize that Cai Jinjian of Yunxia Mountain said in Mud Bottle Lane that he would not live long, she might think that the boy in Mean Alley was only joking, but Chen Ping'an confirmed her statement on the spot Correct.

Since he didn't notice anything wrong, Chen Ping'an just let the airflow go, and there was still a little curiosity in his heart, wanting to see which acupoint it would choose as its mansion.

Li Baoping swayed his calves, his arms crossed his chest, "It is said that martial arts are basically two words to disperse qi, very domineering, completely different from qi practitioners' qi nourishing and refining. It’s different in martial arts. When you find the original Qi, it’s like killing each pass, eliminating all the aura that originally resided in the Qi Palace, and transforming it into the earliest one. Breath, and finally the whole body up and down, the mind moves, and in one go, in the blink of an eye, the air flow runs hundreds of miles and hundreds of miles, and the ninth realm can even be as long as a thousand miles away. All of a sudden, the potential of the whole body is mobilized. Ten thousand horses, with great power, one can imagine that it is no worse than a qi trainer walking in the air."

Li Baoping: "Sister Zhu Lu said that the martial arts master, flying over the eaves and walking on the wall is nothing at all. He can also travel far away with the wind like a Qi practitioner. Afterwards, once he becomes the master of the end, he will kill those gangs whose eyes are higher than the top. Qi practitioners are like twisting the neck of a chicken, killing people with a flick of a finger."

Chen Ping'an asked with a smile: "If practicing martial arts is really so powerful, of course it's a good thing, but why isn't it so powerful? It's measured by how easy it is to kill people?"

Li Baoping was stunned for a while, then shook his head honestly and said, "Then I never thought that it was Sister Zhu Lu who said that. When she said these words, Sister Zhu Lu yearned very much, just like I dream every day to be able to Almost caught a fish."

After thinking for a while, the little girl said: "But if you think about it carefully, according to what Sister Zhu Lu said, it seems that people who practice martial arts and people who practice martial arts are not born to deal with it. A lowly karma is a pitiful creature with unqualified aptitude and unable to practice cultivation, so he is regarded as inferior and scolded the warriors as the watchdog of the secular dynasty. , is not a good thing, why do warriors roam around in the rivers and lakes, that is, chivalrous people are banned by martial arts, those qi practitioners are clearly only a small group, but they occupy countless famous mountains, rivers and caves, and they are proud of themselves, claiming to be on the mountain Immortals cultivate longevity with magical powers of magic, and are respected and supported by mortals and warriors under the mountain, which is a matter of course and righteousness."

Li Baoping suddenly laughed, "But these disputes, you don't need to worry about it, little uncle, it's very boring."

Li Baoping suddenly hesitated, and seemed to remember something, but it was a little hard to tell, and a little guilty, and finally decided to meet her frankly. She really didn't want to deceive her little uncle, and the little girl apologized with a sad face: " Sister Zhu Lu and her father, Uncle Zhu He, originally wanted to go with us to the southern border of Da Sui, but I am afraid that you don’t like them, so you will trick them into waiting for us at the east gate of the town. If Uncle He was also there, he would be able to teach the little uncle to practice martial arts, because Sister Zhu Lu has been practicing martial arts with her father since she was a child. My ancestors told me privately that although Zhu He has limited talent in martial arts, he can teach people to practice martial arts. He is a good player, and can be called a 'Ming Shi'. Even if he is thrown into those wealthy mansions with a 'presidency' in the capital of Da Li, he can still be a guest. Now that Uncle Zhu He is gone, so is Sister Zhu Lu. gone..."

Chen Ping'an quickly comforted: "It's okay, I don't have a master in my boxing practice, I only have a boxing manual. Now I don't even recognize all the words in the boxing manual, and I don't dare to practice blindly. I only practice one walk and one stand. Stubborn, but it has been confirmed that it can nourish the body and will not hurt the body. How to practice to become famous, it is estimated that I have to wait until I can read and understand the boxing manual. This is not urgent, I originally practiced boxing, not for any realm, It's just for living, I don't think so much."

But Li Baoping had obviously been on the cusp of his own thoughts, and his thoughts had gone thousands of miles, so the little girl said more and more guilty, the corners of her mouth turned down, and there were signs of crying, "The warriors practice martial arts, and the master leads them into the door to practice. Personally, but the master is very important. The door leading to the door has high and low thresholds, and after the master led the first door, he had to let it go because of his limited ability, and he was able to bring it in one breath. In the backyard gate, the situation is completely different. Therefore, the master must be a master, not just a famous master."

Small

The girl sniffed her nose, tears were about to flow from her eyes, "Little uncle, you are a once-in-a-century martial arts genius, if I delay you from becoming a master, what should I do?"

Chen Ping'an no longer cares how she came to the absurd conclusion that she is a genius. The most important thing is not to let her cry. The little girl is sad. The kind, Chen Pingan had an idea, suddenly raised his hand, put his palm in front of the little girl, made a fist lightly, and said aloud, "Close!"

Li Baoping is a smart boy with a very fast brain, he was stunned and stopped the tendency of tears to burst, "Little Master, what are you doing?"

Chen Ping'an shook his fist and laughed, "How about it, little uncle is amazing, so you can stop crying all of a sudden."

In order to comfort the little girl, Chen Ping'an also went out of his way, officially admitting that he was her little uncle for the first time.

The little girl immediately burst into tears.

She felt that it was not that she was not sad anymore, but that she was more happy than sad.

Chen Ping'an was relieved, put his hands on the trunk of the old willow tree, and then leaned over and sat beside the little girl.

Under their feet, there were two baskets, one large and one small.

Li Baoping said softly: "Uncle Zhu He often tells Sister Zhu Lu that if you don't practice martial arts, you will be a ghost for three years. If you practice boxing to find the truth, you will punch the god of death with one punch. Once a person who practices martial arts is sick, it is more common than healing. People are a lot more difficult. Sister Zhu Lu almost couldn’t get through twice. After the first time, she didn’t recover for half a year. During that time, she was like a sick child, and she couldn’t even lift a bucket. The second time was even worse. After I heard the movement, I moved a small bench over and secretly smashed the window paper. As a result, I saw Sister Zhu Lu rolling on the bed in pain. Opened it, blood dripping, very pitiful, and finally the family invited the shopkeeper of the Yang family shop to deliver the medicine, it seems that the pain is no longer, and gradually calmed down. But the old ancestor stood at the gate of the yard at that time, did not enter the yard, shook He shook his head and turned away, seeming a little regretful and disappointed. When I asked about it later, the ancestors only said that the small life was saved by medicinal herbs, but the hope of the eighth realm was lost, so there is no need to cultivate Sister Zhu Lu too much in the future, otherwise On the contrary, it will harm her, if you are lucky enough to reach the level of prosperity, you can enter the seventh realm, but if you are unlucky, the sixth realm will hang."

Li Baoping turned his head and said worriedly: "Little Martial Uncle, don't be so sick, I don't understand anything, I will definitely be dumbfounded!"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "No, and even if there is, of course I mean in case, then don't be afraid, I can endure the pain very well, this is not bragging to you."

Li Baoping was suspicious, stretched out his hand and gently twisted it on his arm, "Little Shishu, does it hurt?"

Chen Ping'an patted her little head, then looked at the path when the two came, "Do you know when the little uncle felt the most uncomfortable?"

The little girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle.

Chen Pingan rested his hands on the tree trunk, staggered his legs, and swayed gently like a little girl. The teenager narrowed his eyes and laughed softly: "This is the second time I have gone into the mountains by myself to collect herbs. More than four years old, less than five years old, when I went out, I wanted to collect the most medicinal materials and go home, so I deliberately picked the largest big basket, and then I was exhausted before I walked out of the town. When I saw the mountain, it was still a sunny day. The rope was pulling on my shoulders and it hurt a lot, and my back was even worse. In fact, it was okay to say that I was not particularly afraid. The thing that made me feel hopeless was that The mountain looked so far away, as if I would never be able to walk there in my life. In addition, it was not long before I entered and exited the mountain for the first time, so the blisters on the soles of my feet soon rebelled, and then my uncle, I, I just gritted my teeth and cried while walking, and kept secretly asking myself, I haven't reached the foot of the mountain yet, otherwise I'll go home, anyway, I'm young, the basket is so big, the mountain road is so far, it's not ashamed to go home, my mother is sure I don't blame you."

Li Baoping was fascinated and asked in a low voice, "Little Shishu, did you give up in the end?"

The straw-shoe boy smiled and shook his head: "No, at that time I suddenly thought that no matter what, just go to the foot of the mountain, and then turn back there. Then I really walked to the foot of the mountain, and when I sat on the ground crying, I thought again. Well, why don't you go up the mountain, pick up a herb and go home? Then you start to climb the mountain again, crawling and crawling, after seeing those herbs, the whole person seems to have strength all at once, which is very strange."

Li Baoping let out a wow, and said with admiration, "Little Shishu, you must have picked a basket full of herbs before going down the mountain, right?!"

When the little girl said this, her face was full of pride.

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "No, until the sun is about to go down, and the herbs have not covered the bottom of the basket, they went down the mountain. First of all, the herbs are not so easy to find, it's difficult, he is so small and carries a big basket on his back. Walking on the mountain road is actually more difficult than collecting herbs. Second, I was really tired, and I thought that if I didn’t go, I would have to stay on the mountain alone after dark. Of course I was very afraid at that time. But I was most afraid of it. of……"

Li Baoping waited for a long time, but did not wait for the following text, and asked curiously: "What is the most afraid of Xiao Shishu?"

"It's nothing."

The straw-shoe boy shook his head and said softly, "I won't be afraid later."

The little girl kindly didn't ask any further questions.

Chen Ping'an regained his senses, turned his head and smiled at her: "I'm not telling you this to tell you how good the little uncle is. In fact, it's not unusual for the poor children in the town to come here. I say this. , I think you told me about the way of practicing martial arts today. You said it very well. It's very similar to the appearance of Mr. Qi when he saw Mr. Qi when he secretly went to the school when he was a child. You don't mean that there are no female teachers Master, I think in the future, when you come to Shanya Academy, after you read enough books, maybe you will become the first master teacher to teach in the academy."

After the little girl in the red cotton jacket heard what the little uncle said, she suddenly showed high fighting spirit and raised her fists, "Li Baoping, you can do it! You can definitely do it!"

Chen Ping'an watched silently, feeling that if Mr. Qi was still alive, he would be very happy.

But then the little girl said something that made the boy's head go big, "Because Li Baoping has the most amazing little uncle in the world!"

The boy had to pretend he didn't hear anything.

When the grass grows and the warbler is flying, the young man and the little girl sit side by side, each with good wishes.

----

In a hidden place on the other side of the stream, a man and a girl sat cross-legged and ate dry food.

The girl with sharp eyes said angrily: "Dad, Miss, following such a silly and silly guy, can you really go to the border of our Dali smoothly? I heard that there are often wars there, and there are many people who fall into trouble. Soldiers and bandits, very restless."

The man teased: "Did you forget who taught you a lesson? After practicing martial arts, the first battle in your life, you won't even say you lost, but you're still so embarrassed."

The girl said angrily, "That's because Dad, you don't allow me to run the Qi machine without authorization. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the pressure. Now I can knock over that guy in Mud Bottle Alley with one hand."

The man asked with a smile: "You, a second-level martial arts master, are you really sure?"

The girl reminded loudly: "Dad, it is the peak of the second realm!"

The man took a sip from the water bottle, shook his head and said, "You can't beat him, unless it's an end-to-end competition of martial arts, you have a chance of winning."

The girl obviously didn't believe it. The boy had just stepped into the gate of the martial arts after he died. Before, the two faced off on the roof of the Li family's mansion.

The man joked: "You are a conscience. When people fight you in the house, and when they hit you to the ground, they don't forget to pull you. They want to change to father and fight against others. If you don't put a tile on your head, it will be very kind."

"So he's stupid."

The girl sneered and said, "A person who practices martial arts, a woman's kindness, this kind of person will not live long! "

The man looked surprised and said: "You are a girl, you are not skilled in martial arts, you are not high in martial arts, but you have a set of principles. Who taught you? Anyway, I never told you these words."

The girl raised her chin, "What our second son said! Although the second son is a scholar full of strategy, he is never dissatisfied with benevolence, righteousness and morality.

The man frowned, just as he was about to have some serious reasoning with this heartless girl, he suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "Cross the river!"

The girl stood up, "Father, what's the matter, didn't you just follow the young lady quietly?"

The man's tone was not relaxed, "Someone is coming. Be careful!"

The father and daughter swept across the river and ran away.

----

Just as Chen Ping'an and Li Baoping left the old willow tree and set off on their way again, they found that they encountered a person at the end of their field of vision.

Chen Pingan first put down the basket, and then let Li Baoping stand behind him.

If it is said that in the east of the town, it is not surprising that Chen Ping'an meets anyone, even if it is a fairy, a monster, or a ghost.

But on this southbound route that is about to disappear, no matter who he encounters, Chen Ping'an dare not take it lightly.

far away.

A man who was neither tall nor sturdy came towards Chen Ping'an and Li Baoping, and saw that he was leading a white donkey, wearing a hat, a cloth bag on his side, and wrapped around his legs. Holding a bamboo stick, with a green... bamboo scabbard long sword hanging from his waist?

The man stopped five or six steps away and didn't go any further. He took off his hat, showing an unremarkable face, and said with a smile, "Are you Chen Ping'an? Hello, my name is A Liang, kind-hearted Liang ."

Finally the man added, "I am a swordsman."
