Concentricity

In late autumn, the recruit training was finally coming to an end.After three months of practice, Mo Jinyan's martial arts has naturally become more refined, and he stands out among the recruits.

What is rare is that Meng Changling's performance also impressed everyone. Not only did he complete the drill tasks assigned by the coach without making a sound, but in order to improve his skills, he often practiced spontaneously after everyone had a rest.After rushing to catch up, his skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he has been able to keep pace with ordinary soldiers.

Of course, Mo Jinyan was also practicing with him.In order to improve his skills, Mo Jinyan, in addition to practicing the martial arts taught by the instructor, he will also find time to practice the martial arts taught by Master Zhuang.

One day when he checked his luggage, he saw the boxing score that Yu Simian had left for him.I have been practicing the boxing and stick techniques taught by Master Zhuang before, and I didn't have time to ponder this boxing book. Now when I took it out to read it, I found that this book is infinitely mysterious.He recalled the scene when Yu Simian practiced kung fu back then. Although the moves were simple, the continuous force seemed to overwhelm mountains and seas. It must be a very good boxing method. Now that he has entered the martial arts school, this boxing method is no longer as difficult to understand as a heavenly book. , and began to learn this set of boxing techniques.In any case, art is not overwhelming, let alone it was given to him by Yu Simian, the more he learns, the closer he feels to Yu Simian.

Every night, after the sky is completely dark, the noisy training ground becomes empty.After the two had dinner, they went to the training ground to continue practicing. It was dark, and no one would come except the night guards.At the beginning, the guards intervened and told them to go back to rest. After a long time, knowing that the two recruits were practicing on their own, they didn't care much.Once Wen Jian, the chief coach of the recruits, came out to watch the night and found that the two were practicing secretly without sleeping. He stopped them and reprimanded them, but he did not force them not to practice secretly.

The autumn night is as cool as water, the galaxy is like water, hanging on the sky above the head, and it is dark all around, except for them, there is no one else.The night was silent, except for a few barking dogs, only the whistling wind remained.Mo Jinyan practiced the White Crane Fist once, and then practiced the boxing methods on the boxing manual from beginning to end. He had learned all the moves on the boxing manual a few days ago, and what he had to do now was to practice repeatedly until he became proficient.

After practicing boxing, Mo Jinyan looked up at the dark blue sky, the stars were like chess, dotted and twinkling, as if they were whispering, his thoughts drifted, and he suddenly thought of this time last year.At that time, I was huddled in the narrow boat with Yu Simian, enjoying the starlight, pillowed on the river, listening to the sound of fish diving into the water, talking about commonplace things, but it was so sweet and joyful.Now that he is reincarnated as a human being, where is Brother Yu? Is he doing well? Do you still remember the silly boy who once saved him and admired him?

"Brother Jinyan, are you alright? It's time to go back." Meng Changling's voice sounded, awakening Mo Jinyan who was in a fugue.They are now acquainted and begin to call each other brothers.

Mo Jinyan came to his senses: "Okay, let's go, let's go back."

Meng Changling ran over and walked back side by side with him: "Tomorrow we will have an assessment competition, do you think we can win?"

Mo Jinyan said: "Don't worry, just try it and you will know."

Meng Changling took a deep breath of cool air: "I hope it won't hold you back."

Mo Jinyan said indifferently: "You just need to use your skills as usual, and leave the rest to me."

It was such a simple sentence, but Meng Changling felt so proud. He hugged Mo Jinyan's arm a little excitedly, and shook it vigorously: "That is really grateful. But there is no need to force it, I can do it with ten army sticks suffer."

Mo Jinyan said: "I have already won the opportunity, how can I waste it in vain. Don't think too much, it doesn't matter."

Meng Changling nodded: "Yes. Thank you, Brother Jinyan."

Mo Jinyan shook his head in the dark.He is the one who can see Meng Changling's progress most clearly. This person is originally very smart. Although he is a bit sour and timid, he is really fast at learning. I have learned to think twice before I act. Many times, the ideas I put forward are often much more innovative than this rough man. After all, I still drank a little more ink.Mo Jinyan felt that this person was not hopeless and could be a friend.So after others alienated Meng Changling, he took the initiative to take him and raise him.

The second day was a sunny day, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, the wind was breezy, and the air was filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums.Three hundred new recruits gathered on the training ground, waiting for Lord Qianhu to come to inspect and give a training speech.

This is the second time Mo Jinyan has seen Qianhu Zhongyong. The last time was when Zhongyong came to mobilize recruits when he first joined the army and before the drill started.Mo Jinyan was very impressed with Zhong Yong, who was white-faced and beardless. He was no more than 30 years old. It is said that he used to be a Jinyi guard in the imperial court, but for some reason, he was released to Fujian as a thousand households.

The reason why Mo Jinyan was so impressed with him was because Zhong Yong's authentic Northland accent evoked the deepest memories and nostalgia in his heart. That accent was clearly exactly the same as Yu Simian's.He even had an impulse to ask Zhong Yong if he knew Yu Simian. Of course, this was just an impulse. It was obviously impossible for Zhong Yong to know Yu Simian.

After Zhong Yong gave some words of encouragement, he announced the start of the competition. The drummer beat the big drum, and everyone took their positions to start the competition.The competition is divided into four parts, wrestling (unarmed combat), card knife, long spear and bow and arrow.One item is tested every day, and it is divided into four days.The competition system adopts a round-robin system, two-to-two matches, until the point is reached, the winner draws lots and continues to fight until the final victory, that is to say, the final winner is the real strong, because he has to fight from the first competition to the last one game.

Mo Jinyan's goal is No.1, not the first in a single item, but the first in four items. It's not that he wants to show off, but he knows that this group is all recruits, and they are not really strong. If even the recruits Even if he is unable to win, on the battlefield in the future, what ability will he have to kill the enemy and take revenge.

The first game is wrestling.Although they are recruits, they are all from military households, and they all have a more or less foundation in martial arts. It is not an easy task to win all the way.

Mo Jinyan didn't try his best at the beginning, he just used the gladiatorial skills he learned in the army to compete with others, and won five games in a row, all of which were easy.In the sixth round, Mo Jinyan faced Song Qi who had a bye in the previous round. For many people, it was extremely lucky to have a bye and go directly to the next round. Even if there is no bye, it is also very difficult to be eliminated.

And in the first game after his bye, he met Mo Jinyan. It should be said that his luck was not very good. The only consolation is that he got enough rest in the last game and can deal with Lien Chan with all his strength. Don't say anything in five games.As far as Mo Jinyan knew, Song Qi was the most capable person to compete for No. 1. He originally wanted to wait for the last round to meet Song Qi again, but he didn't expect that it would be several games earlier.It's better to advance, at least there is enough physical strength to deal with it at this time.

Almost all the soldiers who hadn't competed flocked to the outside of Mo Jinyan's and Song Qi's competition field, and a group of military officers sitting outside the practice field stretched their necks and looked: "What are these people looking at? The last round has already begun. ?”

A hundred households walked over with their hands behind their backs, raised one hand and waved it: "No, it is said that the two most powerful contestants this time met in advance, so everyone went to watch the excitement."

Wen Jian put down his teacup: "Where's Zhuang Xu?"

Someone replied: "I ran away a long time ago, saying that I went to watch his brothers compete."

A hundred households said with a smile: "He is like a monkey today, jumping up and down without stopping. It turns out that his brothers are going to compete today."

Zhong Yong happened to come over from behind: "Is that brother Zhuang Xu going to have a competition? I've heard him praise it hundreds of times, let's see."

So all the facial features came to the arena surrounded by Zhong Yong.

Mo Jinyan and Song Qi had already fought each other, because they both knew the strength of both sides, neither of them tried to test it, and they showed their true skills right from the beginning.Mo Jinyan's White Crane Fist and Arhat Fist were used together, while Song Qi used his family's boxing method.Strictly speaking, Song Qi's strength is comparable to that of Mo Jinyan, and he even took advantage of the fact that he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is used to fighting with others.Mo Jinyan didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, and calmly and calmly saw the moves. The moves of the two were not fancy, but they were very practical. Every move was so powerful that everyone outside the field was terrified.

Zhuang Xu watched with horror, concentrating on every change on the field, he didn't even notice that Zhong Yong came over.Zhong Yong put his hand on Zhuang Xu's shoulder: "These two pawns on the field are pretty good at it. There are such masters among the recruits this time. Congratulations."

Zhuang Xu stared at the field with piercing eyes, without turning his head, he stretched out his hand to fiddle with the hand on his shoulder, and said casually, "That is, and I don't care whose family it is."

Zhong Yong didn't care about it, and continued to put his hand on it: "Really? Is your child on the court?"

Zhuang Xuzheng felt that this person was so annoying, why he kept putting his hands on his shoulders, and just wanted to get angry, when he looked back, he found that it was Zhong Yong. Come." In front of so many people, not wanting to refute Zhong Yong's face, he bowed unwillingly.

Zhong Yong giggled and said, "There's no need to be formal, just watch the competition."

Zhuang Xu was really rude, he turned his head away and continued to pay attention to the movement on the field, as if Zhong Yong didn't exist.

It was noon, and everyone hadn't eaten lunch yet. Mo Jinyan had been busy all morning and competed with Song Qi on an empty stomach.The martial arts of the two are comparable, Mo Jinyan's Shaolin boxing is flexible and changeable, while Song Qi's family boxing is steady and steady, you punch, I kick, back and forth, they are actually the same, and there is no winner burden.

The people off the field watched with gusto and commented.In the late autumn weather, Mo Jinyan broke into a cold sweat because he was hungry.Zhuang Xu looked at it and frowned.Zhong Yong said from the side: "It looks like your brother is going to lose."

Zhuang Xu frowned: "Hmph, it's hard to say who will win." Of course he didn't think that Mo Jinyan would lose.

Suddenly, the scene changed, and everyone felt a blur in front of them. Mo Jinyan's moves had changed at some point. It was no longer a flexible Arhat Fist, but a seemingly simple but full of stamina. And this kind of boxing just happened to have an excellent restraint effect on Song Qi's moves.People off the court whispered and praised.Only Zhong Yong showed surprise in his eyes: This move looks extremely familiar, as if he saw someone doing it?

Within ten moves, the two jumped out of the circle, Song Qi clasped his hands together and said, "I'm defeated."

Mo Jinyan also clasped his fists and said, "It's a fluke!"

Immediately Zhuang Xu was as happy as a child, and ran up to put his arm around Mo Jinyan's shoulders, shaking and thumping: "Good brother, you are really good!"

Mo Jinyan smiled embarrassedly, this is not the first name.

Zhuang Xu yelled to the outside: "My lord, am I right? My brother is the best."

Zhong Yong shook his head with a smile, turned around and left with several military officers without speaking.

Mo Jinyan said: "Brother Xu, Master Qianhu has left, don't you need to accompany him?"

Zhuang Xu wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't care about him. Is there any competition next? With whom? I'll cheer you on."

Mo Jinyan rubbed his belly: "Brother Xu, I'm hungry."

Zhuang Xu slapped his head: "I'm so confused, let's go, go eat, and continue in the afternoon when you're full. You must get a first name today."

Mo Jinyan smiled and said, "That's for sure."

Meng Changling held the robe for Mo Jinyan, and kept guarding at the side. Seeing Zhuang Xu talking to him, he dared not come over.Mo Jinyan thought of something, and waved at him: "Brother Changling, let's go, let's eat."

Meng Changling ran over and handed over the clothes in his hand, Mo Jinyan put on the outer robe, and tied the belt of the lower robe indiscriminately: "Brother Xu, Changling performed very well today, we should be able to escape punishment."

Zhuang Xu turned his head and said to Meng Changling: "Your coach Wen also mentioned to me that you have made great progress recently. I don't think he intends to punish you anymore. Young man, work hard." With an old-fashioned look, It's like saying how old you are.

Meng Changling blushed: "Thank you Lord Baihu for your suggestion." I don't know if it was because Zhuang Xu praised him, or Mo Jinyan called him by his name directly.

After lunch and a short rest, the competition in the afternoon continued.Because the strongest opponent has been removed, the following competition will go smoothly, and Mo Jinyan won the first place in the first day of wrestling without any surprise.
