Alienated Martial Arts

Chapter 4 Youshi
"It's not good for you to practice like this. It's easy to strain yourself, and you've gone astray."

Suddenly, a voice with a faint smile sounded from behind.

Wei Tao put down the stone lock, and saw a slender young man in blue shirt standing under the shade of a tree, looking at him with his hands behind his back.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" He cupped his fists and bowed, giving a slight salute.

"You are the teacher's new disciple." The blue-shirted youth nodded Ruoyou, and reached out to pick up a bigger and heavier stone lock.

"Stone locks are not only used to exercise arm strength, but also grip strength, wrist strength, waist strength and leg strength, as well as the skills of stepping, evasive reaction, and even the movement and changes of Qi and blood. You can use it to carefully grasp and observe."

"This is the Youshiquan I learned when I was traveling abroad. It is specially practiced with Shisuo. Although it has no power potential, it is of great benefit to the practice of Hongxianquan. You can take care of it."

As he spoke, he tossed it up gently.

"You Shiquan's starting hand is divided into snatch and swing,

There are also front throws, back throws, straddle throws, back throws, etc.,

Palm joint, finger joint, arm joint, elbow joint, shoulder joint, etc.

The most important thing is to sense the force it brings to you, and make the body respond most appropriately in an instant, so that you can more carefully control the changes in Qi and blood when exerting force..."

The stone locks danced up and down around him, whistling and generating wind, but it also gave people a combination of rigidity and softness, round and flawless beauty.

After a while, the young man in the blue shirt flicked the stone lock firmly on the ground, without any fluctuations in his voice, "This boxing technique is based on the meaning of swimming stones rotating and rolling in the water. If you regard the water as your moving body What about blood, do you understand?"

"Thank you, brother, for your pointers."

Wei Tao came back to his senses and bowed again.

After getting up, he found that there was already a circle of people around, and at the same time he saluted the young man in blue shirt, "I have seen you, senior brother, thank you for your guidance."

It turned out that this was the big brother Tan Pan, and it was the first time I saw him appear in the martial arts gym since he started as a teacher.

"Xiao Pan is back, how is the situation outside?"

Master Zhou's voice came, and he, who almost never left the inner courtyard, also came to the training ground.

Tan Pan's face became serious, "I just have a few things to report to the teacher."

"Well, let's come in and talk."

Master Zhou coughed lightly, his eyes wandered around, and then fell on a tall and strong man who was most likely to be noticed, "Peng Yue, take someone to the street to buy some wine and vegetables, and I will greet you at noon." Senior brother takes the wind and washes away the dust."

Peng Yue nodded, and in the expectant eyes of all the registered disciples, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction, "Junior Brother Wei, come with me for a walk."

The two took the money from the steward of the martial arts hall and went out. They soon came to the restaurant where Master Zhou was used to eating. After ordering a table of noodles, they sat on the second floor by the window and waited slowly.

On the side of the restaurant is a large bluestone square.

Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there will be spontaneous gatherings here, and various small vendors who set up stalls will cover the entire square, and even extend all the way along the long street.

However, today is not the time to go to the market, and the Qingshi Square is also full of people, and its scale is even larger than that of the rally.

This abnormal situation immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

"Gods and Buddhas are born, King Ming is born."

"Golden light shines from the ground, and red lights shine from the sky."

"Purify people who are honest and trustworthy at home, and those who get the talisman water can cure diseases and evils."

Indistinctly, all kinds of chanting sounds are transmitted from the open space in the center of the square like silk and bamboo.

Wei Tao squinted his eyes to observe carefully, and saw an old man with a childlike face and white hair, with the cooperation of several boys and girls in white clothes, distributing paper talismans to the crowd of onlookers. cheer.

"What kind of person is this? Gathering people to form an association in broad daylight, and making it so powerful, aren't you afraid that the city guard will send troops to directly suppress it?" Peng Yue frowned, and drank the rough tea in his cup in one gulp.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the restaurant came over with two huge food boxes, "Master Peng doesn't know something, this old fairy is said to be the protector of the Red Lantern Festival, and he traveled here to set up an altar specially for The people of this city practice the law and pray for blessings."

"Praying for blessings, does this old gentleman really have supernatural powers?" Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and took a sip of tea.

"Well, we don't dare to talk nonsense about this." The shopkeeper of the restaurant lowered his voice, "However, just this morning, in front of many people, the Taoist priest in white cured a sick child who was coughing up blood with talisman water on the spot. , so a lot of people gathered all of a sudden and ran over to ask for amulets."

Peng Yue asked, "The patient who is coughing up blood, does the shopkeeper know who it is and where he lives?"

"I don't know about that. I just glanced at it from a distance at the time, and there are people in the store."

Peng Yue nodded, pulled Wei Tao up and left without saying a word.

Go back to the Red Line Martial Arts Hall.

Wei Tao carried the food box and entered the inner courtyard with Peng Yue.

At this moment, he finally understood why so many registered disciples were so looking forward to this errand.

Because after entering the inner courtyard, he was left behind.

Although he was only helping to pour the wine and set the dishes, just listening to the conversation between Master Zhou and a few official disciples had already given him a lot of rewards.

Not to mention that when he was drunk to the point of drunkenness, the senior brother Tan Pan called him forward again, and specially instructed him on the key points of Youshiquan training and moving Qi and blood, and many things that were not clear suddenly became clear. cheerful.

After the meal, Wei Tao came to the martial arts field again to continue the unfinished training in the morning.

He carefully recalled the essentials of practicing stone locks that senior brother Tan Pan said, and then picked the smallest one and held it in his hand.

The palm, the back of the hand, the fingertips, the forearm, touch again and again, fall again and again, I don't know how many failures can be exchanged for a real success.

Compared with the transfer of qi and blood that cannot be directly sensed and grasped, the practice method of You Shiquan is actually much simpler, but it takes a long time to practice and grind in order to be able to complete a complete set of movements proficiently.

It wasn't until the sun went down that he basically mastered several coherent movements for exerting force.

But there is still a long way to go before he can understand it proficiently, and even connect it with the method of transporting qi and blood at the beginning of Hongxianquan.

"call……"

Wei Tao let out a long breath of foul air, went to the well and fetched some water, then wiped his body briefly with a wet towel.

Just as he was putting on his clothes and preparing to leave, he froze there suddenly.

The golden symbol quietly appeared in front of his eyes, and besides the seven gold coins accumulated, there was another column of information strangely added.

On the left are two lines of small print.

Name: Youshiquan.

Status: Beginner and practicer.

There is also a light blue progress bar on the right.

The progress displayed so far has just started, not even ten percent.

After staring at the status bar in front of him for a while, Wei Tao's heart suddenly moved, and he caught a flash of inspiration.

If it wasn't inside the martial arts hall, he would almost scream out.

If he had only seen gold symbols and gold coins and had no reaction before, seeing the status bar now, he immediately remembered what it was.

Isn't it a turn-based idle martial arts game designed by him typing codes before traveling?
As long as it is turned on on the mobile phone, a game gold coin will be added to the user every time, which can be used to improve the character's ability cultivation speed, and gradually change from a small sapling at the beginning to a towering tree.

In the game interface, when you click on the character ID, the status bar will appear, and you can see the progress bar of each skill you have selected. This is what Wei Tao is most familiar with, and it is also the main reason that reminds him of this game.

He put down the washbasin towel in his hand and sat down on the bench beside the well.

His mind was completely immersed in the status bar in front of him.

Then I was surprised to find that a line of writing actually appeared in the status bar.

Whether to consume a gold coin to improve the training speed of Youshiquan.

It turned out to be true! ?

Wei Tao concentrated his mind and directly tried to click on the "yes" option.
