Since then, Lu Mingtong has had new fun, every day when he wakes up, he goes to the window to see what Shi Jingtian is helping the inn clerk with.

It is probably the habit of people who practice martial arts. Shi Jingtian gets up before dawn every day, and only returns at noon with a large bundle of wood or a first-hand game—this is the condition he used to mortgage the house money. .

Lu Mingtong panicked in his idleness, and often beckoned him to have dinner together, and asked him if he had seen any martial arts masters between the two of them eating.

Shi Jingtian picked up a chopstick of wild rabbit meat and said: "Brother Lu, I go to the mountains to chop firewood and catch wild game every morning. Let alone a martial arts master, I haven't even seen anyone."

Hearing this, Lu Mingtong regretted: "I thought Big Brother Shi came so long in advance to find out everyone's details." Then he asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, what does Big Brother Shi do every day when he came to the arena so early?"

Shi Jingtian had already finished his meal with a few mouthfuls, and put the bowl and chopsticks away: "Of course I'm practicing. My father told me that I can't stop practicing for a day. Originally, I wanted to come later, but my father thought I was doing it every day. Eating too much at home drove me out early."

"..." This is really an act that only a real father can do.Lu Mingtong coughed, and asked in a low voice: "I've been cultivating in my room these few days, and it's very boring. I came to the martial arts conference, and I came here just to see a big scene. As a result, until now, except for Big Brother Shi, I haven't seen a single hero!" Sighing, Lu Mingtong clenched his fists and leaned closer to the other party secretly: "Cough, Brother Shi, when you wake up early tomorrow, can you call me by the way? I want to see See how you people in the Jianghu practice kung fu."

Shi Jingtian was puzzled, what's so good about practicing, don't you start with the basic skills of your own moves?He thought about it again, that's right, this Lu Yunyang is thin and weak, and has no martial arts foundation at all. He must have heard too many stories from those storytellers on weekdays, and he has some too beautiful yearning for the world.

"Yes, yes, but I'm used to going out at Yinshi, I don't know Brother Lu..."

Yin time?Yin Shi himself was still sound asleep with his head up.Lu Mingtong's face became hot: "It's okay, I'll get up, just call me before Big Brother Shi leaves."

Shi Jingtian nodded, and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will come to your door and call three times. If there is no answer, I will leave by myself." It seems that he is still not at ease with Lu Mingtong.

Lu Mingtong smiled and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely get up."

In the early morning of the next day, after Shi Jingtian finished washing and washing, he quietly went up to the second floor, paused at the door, and called out like a mosquito: "Brother Lu?"

No answer.Shi Jingtian swallowed his saliva and was about to open his mouth to shout a second time when the door opened.

Lu Mingtong has already tidied up, he went to bed early yesterday, and he didn't feel too tired when he woke up early this morning, probably because he has been bored in the room for too long, and he has an irresistible enthusiasm for going out.

Shi Jingtian looked down at the extra objects under him, and frowned: "This wheelchair..."

"The young master's injury is not healed, and it's inconvenient to move around. I will push him up the mountain, and Daxia Shi will lead the way."

Lu Jiutian walked out from the shadow, Shi Jingtian glanced at the stern-faced attendant, and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Okay, then let's go." He turned to lead the way, and carefully reminded Lu Mingtong: "Brother Lu , I have already told you in advance, this practice is to do the same movements day after day, there is no trick."

Lu Mingtong's eyes crooked with a smile: "Brother Shi, don't worry, even if I just come out to breathe fresh air, I feel much more refreshed in my chest."

Because of a disabled person, Shi Jingtian resolutely gave up the usual way up the mountain and chose another relatively flat road.

Lu Mingtong seldom saw the mountain road at this hour, and felt that his breath was filled with the coolness of the morning dew. He couldn't help but feel good, and when Shi Jingtian stopped at the usual practice place, his eyes widened, anticipating what would happen next Things are full of expectations.

Shi Jingtian's shoulders sank, his chest heaved, his two steady and powerful thighs stabbed the ground, and he shouted with all his internal strength: "Ha——"

Lu Mingtong clenched his fists tightly.

However, Shi Jingtian maintained this posture, motionless—in a horse stance.

Lu Mingtong blinked, comforting himself silently in his heart, he always has to warm up, maybe next moment Daxia Shi will show off his martial arts!

So he adjusted his mood and waited with bated breath.

A stick of incense passed, and Shi Jingtian still had his eyes wide open, his back straight, and there was not even a trace of sweat.

Lu Jiutian, who was behind him, looked down at him, and then Lu Mingtong remembered that Jiutian was also a martial arts practitioner. I don't know if he was as unshakable as Daxia Shi when he practiced kung fu?

"Nine days." Lu Mingtong called out, "Aren't you practicing?"

Lu Jiutian coughed and said, "Practice is practice, but it's seldom used in front of others."

Could it be that you are embarrassed?Lu Mingtong comforted: "It's okay, take advantage of this opportunity and practice with Daxia Shi." Let's see whose horse stance lasts longer.

Lu Jiutian remained silent, and no longer refused to refuse. He passed by Shi Jingtian and nodded to him.

With a howl of the sword, the long sword in his waist was already unsheathed.Lu Jiutian casually held a sword flower in his hand, and floated into the forest to practice the sword.

Lu Mingtong stared blankly at his figure shuttling through the forest, even if he couldn't see the movements clearly, he knew that this had a different meaning from the practice that Shi Jingtian said.

When the sound in the forest stopped, Lu Jiutian turned back with a sense of tide all over his body. Shi Jingtian still maintained his fair and standard horse stance, looking straight ahead.

Lu Mingtong: "..."

Just as he was searching for words and sentences on how to speak, Shi Jingtian finally moved.

Lu Mingtong raised his head, but saw that he hammered his shoulder, walked to the side of the tree, looked around, and said to himself: "Well, this one is good." Then he took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and Concentrating all the strength in his fists, he began to hammer the tree trunk clumsily and persistently.

Lu Mingtong was dumbfounded: "He... what is he doing?"

Lu Jiutian squinted his eyes: "Master, it is obvious that he is smashing trees."

"I know...then why did he smash the tree?" Lu Mingtong's heart twitched, and a terrifying thought came to his mind. During this journey, Shi Jingtian did not see any tree-cutting props, no, not only this way, Every day when he came back from chopping firewood, his back was empty!

"Could it be...Could it be that every day when he went up the mountain to cut firewood, he chopped down the tree with his bare hands?"

When Shi Jingtian moved, he was concentrating on it. Lu Mingtong's exclamation behind him couldn't disturb him. He just frowned, held his breath, and focused all his attention on the tree in front of him.

The trunk of that tree was thicker than Lu Mingtong's waist, Shi Jingtian hammered silently with his head down, and the thick trunk began to have cracks and depressions extending from the middle to the outside.The branches all over the tree trembled weakly under his ravages.

Boom, boom, boom.

I don't know how many times I repeated it, the big tree finally fell to the ground with a bang.

Lu Mingtong was dumbfounded, secretly thinking about how much strength it takes to do this.He involuntarily shifted his gaze to Shi Jingtian's hands, which were tightly wrapped with a layer of gauze, which should be used in usual, not clean and tidy.

Shi Jingtian squatted down, folded off the good part of the branch three times and five times, raised one foot, stomped heavily on the trunk, broke the trunk in two, picked up the good half, He smiled and said, "That's good, it's just right to go back and make a wooden pier for Er Gouzi."

Lu Mingtong couldn't speak anymore, and went down the mountain with him.

When Shi Jingtian returned to the room, he asked Lu Jiutian with lingering fear: "Just now I saw that the strength of Hero Shi is terrifying. Do you think that people with this strength can be counted in the majority in the martial arts conference?"

Lu Jiutian thought for a long time, and said, "It's not too much. Daxia Shi has deep internal energy, and he is by no means an idler. He not only chops trees with his bare hands in the morning, but also can be seen from his usual posture of standing, sitting, and lying down, with a strong foot and strong strength." Infinity. He has such power just empty-handed, but he has never seen him take out his own weapon, and Jiu Tian can't figure out his true strength."

Weapons... Lu Mingtong rubbed his chin to recall, from the first time he saw Shi Jingtian until now, he did not see any weapons that he took out. This time, even chopping firewood up the mountain was done with both hands. I don't know what it is The reason is that the magic weapon is too publicized to dare to appear in the world, or is it deliberately to whet the appetite of others?The martial arts conference really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingtong was even more passionate. Just Shi Jingtian had shocked him so much, not to mention the martial arts conference where capable people come forth in large numbers!What a grand occasion it must be for the heroes of martial arts from all over the world to gather and compete.It's shameful that I'm a majestic and powerful person, and when the martial arts conference is held, I still spend my time here because of this small injury on my buttocks!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and suddenly howled: "Bean sprouts, come in!"

"Yes!" Lu Douya hurried in, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Lu Mingtong hugged his shoulders fiercely, his pupils seemed to be burning with fire: "Pack up your bags and get ready to go on the road immediately!"

Lu Douya was dizzy: "Ah? Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go!" Lu Mingtong raised his hand and knocked on his forehead: "Wulin Congress!"

"Brother Shi!"

Shi Jingtian was helping groom the horses in the stable when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Jiutian rushing towards him.Seeing a package on Lu Mingtong's lap, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Brother Lu, where are you going?"

"Go to the martial arts conference!" Lu Mingtong laughed.

Shi Jingtian said in shock: "But the martial arts conference is still more than ten days away! Brother Lu went in so early, the inn must have been fully occupied, or they are all profiteers who charge sky-high prices. Brother Lu still thinks about it and stays for a while Bar."

The Martial Arts League has already prepared a residence for Feng Yunshi and his group, Lu Mingtong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry about this, Brother Shi, I have a distant relative who happens to live there, and he will come to receive us."

"That's good." Shi Jingtian glanced at the wheelchair: "But Brother Lu, your injury... ah, I forgot to give you the Dieda wine in my room, I'll get it right away!"

"No need!" Lu Mingtong stopped him: "The doctor prescribes a lot of ointment, but Brother Shi, you still have to stay here for a few days. I think the conference is coming soon. Since Brother Shi wants to participate, don't waste time on this kind of brush." On the matter of chopping firewood by the horse." He took out a small silver bag from his luggage: "I haven't officially thanked you for helping me get back the purse last time, but Brother Shi accepted this, which is enough to pay your future rent. Hope Brother Shi has a smooth journey and can show his skills in the martial arts conference, we will see you in the future!"

Shi Jingtian hastily waved his hand and refused: "Brother Lu, you're pissing me off, I will never accept this money." Seeing Lu Mingtong's insistence, he backed down and said: "Well, even if you owe me a favor, wait When I encounter difficulties, you come to help me again."

Feng Yunshi's status is special, remembering Feng Ji's lessons learned, Lu Jiutian frowned, subconsciously said: "Master..."

Lu Mingtong raised a hand to signal him to be quiet. Even though he was once trapped here, his eyes were still calm, showing a burning color: "In this case, Brother Shi will remember this agreement. As long as I, Lu Yunyang, can help , will definitely die!"

"Brother Shi, we will meet later!"
