Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

A few days later, three brand new houses were built. Xie Yao went to the town to bring the two apprentices back to the foot of Tianshan Mountain, and bought them new clothes by the way.

Counting by pinching fingers, it was another Chinese New Year approaching, Xie Yao didn't wait for the new year to turn, and began to instruct the two of them to practice martial arts.

Shentu Xingchong still had a solid foundation, but Ding Yue, apart from being able to play smoothly with the hidden weapon of the iron fan, couldn't even take a horse stance.Xie Yao is also patient, starting from the basic horse riding, five kinds of bow, horse, pouncing, empty, and rest.Teach him from the beginning, just like Zhu Cong taught him back then, over and over again, tirelessly.

It was snowing heavily and it was clear at the beginning of the day. After lunch, Xie Yao asked the two of them to build horses in the yard.He himself is not solid in his footwork, so he attaches great importance to footwork for his two apprentices, he is kicking inside and out, and he can't miss a move.

"What is the purpose of learning martial arts?"

"Heroic and righteous...Kill all the Tatars...Protect the weak..."

"...I'm the same as Eldest Brother..."

Xie Yao shook his head and said: "First protect yourself, then talk about helping others."

The two were tied with low stakes, and each arm was hung with a thick piece of ice. At this time, they were blushing from the suffocation, and Ding Yue especially, his legs were trembling.Xie Yao stood with his hands behind his back, standing obliquely behind Ding Yue, and said, "Legs must be steady, back must be straight, and shoulders must be flat."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed a handful of snow and hit Ding Yue's calf with his fingers.With this light touch, Ding Yue couldn't bear it any longer, shouted "Ah yo", and fell to the ground.

Ding Yue got up from the snow while wailing, and said with a mournful face: "Master, I really can't hold on anymore, just let me rest!"

Xie Yao couldn't bear to see his little face flushed from the cold, but when he thought of himself, it was because his foundation was not solid in his early years that he felt powerless now.He immediately lowered his face and said, "An extra half an hour of fine."

Shentu Xingchong was winking at Ding Yue, but was caught by Xie Yao, only to hear Xie Yao add another sentence: "Xingchong, the younger brother is not good, you will also be punished for half an hour."

"what?"

"An hour."

"Master, I was wrong!"

"two."

The two immediately shut their mouths tightly, not daring to say a word.The two of them have been with Xie Yao for a long time, although they know that Xie Yao will never beat and scold them, but if the two of them really did something wrong, and Xie Yao scolded them with a downcast face, they would not dare to do anything wrong, they could only be punished obediently .

Xie Yao felt a little regretful when he said this, the two of them were just children, and it was really harsh to ride horses in the ice and snow.But what he said was like water poured out, Xie Yao sighed and had to wait until they couldn't hold on.But to his surprise, the two survived abruptly.

Ding Yue gritted his teeth and asked, "Brother, should it be two hours?"

"...Here we are." After Shentu Xingchong said, he fell backwards involuntarily. He thought he would fall into the snow, but he was caught firmly.

Xie Yao praised without hesitation, and said: "It's a good day, keep up the good work!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his arms and carried the two children on his shoulders, one left and one right.

Back in the warm room, Xie Yao squatted on the ground to soak their frozen feet with the hot water prepared in advance to activate the meridian muscles of their legs.

Shentu Xingchong looked down at him busy, and suddenly said with tears in his voice: "Master, I will definitely listen to you from now on!"

Xie Yao looked up and saw tears in his eyes, he couldn't help saying softly: "Today, my teacher punished you severely, don't take it to heart."

Shentu Xingchong shook his head vigorously: "Master, you are doing it for our own good, I know." He wiped away his tears and fell on Xie Yao's shoulder.His mother died early, and his father was busy with socializing all day long. He had a lot of affairs in the world, so he seldom cared about him. The best relationship with him was Lord Nade.Shentu Xingchong hadn't felt warm since Juyi Village was burned to the ground, so at this moment Xie Yao rubbed his legs and washed his feet, which made the eyes of this child who never wanted to cry turn red.It's just that Shentu Xingchong would never say these words.

Ding Yue raised his feet and said loudly: "I'm not afraid of master's punishment, because he will wash our feet!"

Xie Yao smiled when he heard the words, pushed his feet into the water, and said earnestly: "You must know that there is a saying that goes, 'Practicing martial arts without practicing kung fu will end in nothingness'. Although this basic skill is simple and boring, it is the most important. When I was a teacher, I was just like you. You dismissed this and didn't listen to what your master said, and when you realized it, it didn't help the matter."

He spoke at a steady pace, just for the two of them to ponder while listening, Shen Tuxing nodded heavily: "Master, this disciple has written it down!" Ding Yue suddenly shouted: "Master, who is our master?"

"Remember well, the seven of them are known as the 'Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River' in the martial arts world, and Zhu Cong, who ranks second among them, is my mentor and nicknamed the Miaoshou Scholar..." Xie Yao gave the names of the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River to the two of them one by one. Yes, the two children became more and more interesting as they listened, and asked him to tell more stories about them.

Ding Yue hurriedly said: "Master, where are the masters, let's go find them!"

Xie Yao was startled when he heard the words, and only said: "It should be on Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea. If I have time in the future, I will take you to see his old man."

In the evening, Xie Yao took some fish out of a frozen stream and made fish soup for the two children.As expected, the two of them exclaimed that the taste was strange at first, but slowly accepted the fish soup. Xie Yao saw it and smiled slightly, as if he felt a little bit of the feeling of making the soup in Tianshu back then.

The two children sat at the table, asking questions while eating, and asked Xie Yao to continue telling the story.

Now that Xie Yao has become their master, of course he does not distinguish between them. He tells them about the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River, about his righteous brother Guo Jing, about his fellow apprentices, about anecdotes about the Jianghu, and finally about his mother. Shentu Xingchong was really taken aback. .

"Master, you...are you a Mongolian?"

Xie Yao glanced at him with a smile, and asked, "If I were a Mongolian, would you still recognize me as a master?"

Shentu Xing rushed to think of his father's advice before he died, hesitated for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and said firmly, "Even if Master is a Mongolian, you are still my Master."

Xie Yao was deeply moved, and told him about his relationship with Wu Ri Zhuzhan, and finally taught them both: "Whether they are Mongolians or people from the Kingdom of Jin, there are good and bad, good and evil. If the master of Shentu, you It’s good to listen halfway, if the other party is a weak woman and child, just because they are Mongols, if you kill them, wouldn’t they be no different from cruel villains?”

Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue thought about it, nodded and said: "Master, you are right, we only kill treacherous and criminals, regardless of others."

Ding Yue put the fish in his mouth, and the juice flowed all over the table. Xie Yao found a rag to wipe the table clean, and said with a straight face: "Eat well." Ding Yue stuck out his tongue and sat down quickly.

"By the way, master, since we have seven masters and one uncle Guo, do we have any masters?"

Xie Yao wanted to drink soup, but when he heard this, he almost knocked over the soup bowl.

He was stunned for a moment, then said to the two: "Well, your teacher's wife is not here."

Ding Yue asked, "Where did she go?"

"She stays with your six masters and grandma." Xie Yao said here with a depressed tone.

But at this moment, both Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue knew that they were dead, they bowed their heads, and neither dared to ask any more questions.After Xie Yao went to the kitchen to feed them, Ding Yue whispered to Shentu Xingchong: "Brother, let's listen to Master's words from now on."

Shentu Xingchong nodded solemnly: "Well, Master is the same as us."

Xie Yao stood outside the window, listening to the two whispering and discussing how to please himself, he couldn't help smiling.

※※※

Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue practiced harder and harder, Xie Yao secretly wondered what kind of kung fu to teach them.

Although the martial arts he has learned are diverse, there are many kung fu that cannot be passed on to the outside world, such as the Six Meridians Excalibur and the Quanzhen sect.After more than half a month of observation, Xie Yao found that Shen Tuxing was suitable for taking a vigorous path. He used a double ax to take advantage of it, so it was better to pass on the Nine Suns Divine Art that he had learned.As Ding Yue is good at using iron fans, he will naturally teach Zhu Cong all of his kung fu, but he will not favor one over another. Although he has only practiced a small part of the Nine Yin Manual, it is not difficult for him to ask Guo Jing for the complete book. .

Xie Yao secretly made up his mind, and began to teach the two of them the basic handicap.One yin and one yang complement each other.The two of them are still young, and it won't be too late to teach them these two special skills when their skills are solid.Therefore, Xie Yao first passed on to Shentu Xingchong the nameless boxing method he had realized in Shaoshi Mountain, and then taught Ding Yue the moves of splitting tendons and bones, and let the two of them practice slowly from simple to difficult.

Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Xie Yao took his two children to a small town and asked them to choose what they liked. By the way, he bought a carload of books from the bookstore, preparing to teach them how to read.Inner strength and mental method focus on comprehension, if you don't know a few big characters when you practice, how can you practice to a high level of martial arts.

Fortunately, Shentu Xingchong had learned a lot in Lin'an Academy earlier. While studying by himself, he tutored Ding Yue at the same time. The two of them endorsed in the morning and practiced in the afternoon. The days passed quickly.Xie Yao watched them practice kung fu every day, and thought of the kung fu he unintentionally used when he fought against the three masters of Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong and master Yideng that day.

There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and boundless martial arts.

What Xie Yao has learned in his life is already appalling.It is true that it is wonderful to learn from others, but it cannot be avoided that the refutation is impure. If it is not for his deep internal strength, he may be in danger of becoming obsessed.What's more, these martial arts are always left by the predecessors, not my own perception. No matter how I practice, I still can't reach the peak state of the unity of heaven and man.Since the Nirvana Furnace, his martial arts practice has surpassed the five masters, and his martial arts are also realized by others, so why not create a new path and become a school of his own?

Thinking of this, Xie Yao couldn't help clenching his hands, feeling eager to try and unable to hold back.

On New Year's Eve, the three masters and apprentices sat around the fireplace and ate dumplings. Shentu Xingchong volunteered to fight with Ding Yue and asked Xie Yao to point them out.After more than a hundred moves, both of them were tired, Xie Yao waved at them, turned around and took out a pair of fine steel axes and a fine iron folding fan.

Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue said happily, "Master, is this your New Year's gift for us?"

"See if it's in your hand?" After finishing speaking, he threw both hands and threw the weapons to the two of them respectively.

Shen Tuxing charged a four-level horse, raised his hands, and caught it firmly from left to right; Ding Yue played a trick, turned around and spread the folding fan with a "swipe", covering half of his face, and blinked: " Master, am I handsome?"

Xie Yao smiled and reached out to rub the top of his head. Ding Yue immediately screamed like a pig, and went into the room to find a comb to fix his hair.

After the three of them had played enough, Xie Yao said seriously to them: "From tomorrow onwards, I will go to Yujing Peak for retreat as a teacher. You two must not cause trouble at the foot of the mountain. Practice martial arts well and don't let yourself go."

Shentu Xingchong was puzzled, "Master, how long do you want to retreat? There is no food on Yujing Peak, do you want me and my junior brother to bring you food every day?"

"No, that mountain is too high, it's too dangerous for the two of you to go up." Xie Yao thought for a while, "It shouldn't be long, don't worry, I will come down the mountain to find you anytime."

The two of them heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that it didn't take long.

Firecrackers and firecrackers were set off outside the door, and the two children snuggled up in front of the door to watch the new year. Before they were born, the two had already fallen asleep.

Xie Yao stepped out of the room, carried Shentu Xingchong and Ding Yue back into the room, washed his hands and face, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and gently closed the door, before leaving quietly in the face of the wind and snow.
