Taoist master wants to ascend

"The outer three combinations have been completed, but the inner three combinations have not yet been discovered. Perhaps, one day when the breathing method does not need to be maintained deliberately, this martial arts will be considered a success, right?"

In a small room vacated by Fatty Sun, Li Yuan was still standing. He was becoming more and more proficient in the Ape Six Breathing Technique, and he could even be distracted a little while standing.

Li Yuan was thinking in his mind.

His current martial arts are divided into three parts. The White Ape Cloak Hammer lacks the fighting method, the Bing Dao Fighting Killing Hammer only has the attacking method and the killing method, and the Sickle Technique lacks the breathing method.

All in all, the most complete and familiar one is the White Ape Cloak Hammer.

"Learning martial arts is not easy!"

Li Yuan slowly closed his momentum.

These days, a skill is the foundation of a career. All walks of life are accustomed to hiding it, and martial arts is no exception.

A martial art is often divided into multiple parts. It is easy for outsiders to get some parts, but it is extremely difficult to get the whole thing.

"Li Yuan, come out to eat. This is your first time going to the inner courtyard. Don't be too late!"

From the outer room, Fatty Sun's voice came.

Li Yuan opened the door and saw steamed buns, pickles, and three salted eggs on the small table:

"Thank you, Zhang Shao!"

"It's just the beginning of the New Year, there's not much food, so I'll settle for now. When the food market opens, I'll show you my skills!"

Fatty Sun greeted with a smile.

Today, Fatty Sun was much more polite than a few days ago. Not only did he take the initiative to greet him for dinner, he also asked Li Yuan if he needed any money.

Of course, Li Yuan refused to accept anyone who came, and he piled up debts to as much as twenty taels.

"The inner courtyard."

Fatty Sun peeled an egg and ate it, feeling a little envious:

"Actually, your bones are pretty good. There are only a few people out there who are better than you. At least my bones are not as good as yours."

"No need to comfort me, Zhang Shao."

Li Yuan ate his meal quickly, and he was somewhat impressed by Fatty Sun's rapid change of attitude.

If he had been so exquisite in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to go home and open a canteen.

‘Take a warning. ’

Li Yuan thought in his mind, wiped his mouth, took another steamed bun and left the yard.

At this time, it was just dawning, and there were already apprentices chopping firewood and carrying water in the middle courtyard.

Seeing Li Yuan, several apprentices had complicated expressions, including envy and awe...

In fact, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are only separated by a wall and a door, but the attitudes of the apprentices that Li Yuan saw along the way made him think that he seemed to have risen through the ranks.

"What a stark and strong contrast..."

Li Yuan chewed the steamed buns and sighed in his heart.

Different from the previous life, in this world, at least the levels in Gaoliu County are very clear. After all, this is the place where the inner and outer cities are separated, and prosperity and poverty are separated.

Behind the forging room, there is an inner courtyard separated by a door. The first impression is that it is big.

If the middle courtyard is the small courtyard upon entering, then the inner courtyard is the fourth courtyard, which is much larger. The first thing you see when you enter is also a martial arts arena.

It is pressed with yellow mud and is thirty to forty meters square, with stone piers and wooden piles placed there.

It's not bright yet, but there are already people working hard, standing and dancing with hammers, and even sparring with each other, shouting and shouting.

These people were both male and female, the younger ones were around seventeen or eighteen years old, the older ones were in their early twenties, each of them was strong and full of energy, looking capable and capable.

"A bit like the gym in my previous life..."

Li Yuan murmured in his heart, feeling a different atmosphere.

The outer courtyard, even the front courtyard, needs work every day, let alone the middle courtyard, but the inner courtyard does not.

If we make an analogy, it is the gap between amateur warriors and professional warriors.

"Li Yuan?"

In the courtyard, a tall young man walked out.

Hearing the sound, more than 20 men and women on the field looked over. They were very oppressive. Li Yuan was okay. In his previous life, when he was doing things in the countryside, he was not stared at by a group of people.

Niu Gui, who was following far behind, was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

"He, he is Li Yuan!"

Niu Gui pointed ahead.

Li Yuan nodded:

"This senior brother has something to do with me?"

The young man had a slender figure and a resolute appearance. As soon as he came out of the field, there was a wave of greetings of 'Senior Brother Yue'.

"My name is Yue Yunjin, and I am your senior brother. The master has told me that I am here to take you to see him."

The young man looked at Li Yuan:

"follow me."

He is over 1.9 meters tall again. Does practicing the White Ape Cloak Hammer have the effect of growing taller?

Li Yuan cursed in his heart, but he remembered who this person was.

The apprentice in the front courtyard is also very concerned about the news in the inner courtyard. The one he has heard the most about in the past few months is the current senior brother of the inner courtyard, Yue Yunjin.

It was said that it was the upper bone, but now that I saw it, it turned out that it had the arms of an ape and the waist of a wasp. It was long and powerful, and it stood out among the apprentices in the inner courtyard.

"Hello, Senior Brother Yue."

Li Yuan received the greeting and quickly followed Yue Yunjin.

"Second shopkeeper..."

Niu Gui's eyes were full of envy, but he could only watch helplessly. After a while, someone on the field waved:

"Boy, come here, let the senior brothers see your martial arts progress..."

…

"There are four entrances to the inner courtyard. The first two entrances are the residences of the apprentices. The back is the kitchen and the pharmacy. The master's residence is at the back.

These two people cannot enter the hospital without instructions! "

Yue Yunjin led the way without looking back, warning them of the precautions.

Li Yuan listened carefully and wrote them down one by one.

"Disciples in the inner courtyard, one tael of silver per month, and a bowl of 'health soup' every day. It is given out after lunch every day. Remember to come and get it. If it is not enough, a bowl of thirty cash will be given.

There are also other medicinal soups. If you have enough money, you can get as many as you want..."

Is this the treatment for apprentices in the inner courtyard?

"Is this health-building decoction a medicinal tonic for apprentices in the inner courtyard?"

Li Yuan did not miss the opportunity to ask. The information in the Intermediate Court was too limited, and there was no place to inquire about many things he wanted to know.

"There is no separation between medicine and martial arts. Medicinal diet, medicinal supplements, and medicinal baths are all very important auxiliaries when practicing martial arts..."

Yue Yunjin paused, stopped at the door, bowed and said:

"Master, Li Yuan is here."

"Um!"

There was a voice in the house, and Li Yuan entered the room in response. In the bright room, Tang Tong was sitting upright, holding a teacup, with a white face and beardless hair, and half-black hair.

"Disciple takes leave."

Outside the house, Yue Yunjin bowed and left.

"Go ahead."

Tang Tong raised his hand and landed on Li Yuan's shoulder. The latter felt his eyes blurred, and immediately his shoulders and arms felt sore, and he felt as if all the bones in his body were shaking like electricity.

Internal energy? !

Li Yuan thought about this word, and Tang Tong also let go of his hand with a smile on his face:

"You're a bit weak...but this shows that your talent is high enough!"

"Ah? Aren't bones and talent the same thing?"

Li Yuan rubbed his shoulders, feeling surprised.

He didn't react at all at that moment, and when the hand was placed on his shoulder, all the bones in his body shook. This hand really shocked him.

"The bones are the bones, the talent is the talent, of course they are not the same thing."

Looking at Li Yuan, Tang Tong took out a booklet from his arms:

"This is the way to play the White Ape Cloak Hammer. You can figure it out for yourself. In seven days, I will personally test it for you."

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

Li Yuan took it with both hands.

"If you don't understand anything or if you have any needs, you can go to your Senior Brother Yue. Also, once you enter the inner courtyard, you will be my disciple, and you will be called Master from now on."

"Yes, master."

Seeing Tang Tong pick up the tea cup, Li Yuan hurriedly bowed and backed away. When he came to the door, he raised his head and said:

"Master, Mr. Zhang invited his disciples to the forging room yesterday. I don't know..."

"Those who learn martial arts should have a sense of proportion in their hearts. Is it worth asking someone about this little thing?"

Tang Tong took a deep look at Li Yuan and waved his hand:

"Go ahead."

"Thank you, master!"

Li Yuan clasped his fists and left.

There is no control in the inner courtyard, and no one is supervising. It is more free than imagined.

Li Yuan left the inner courtyard, glanced at Niu Gui and other new apprentices who were standing in the martial arts field with a sad face, and walked quickly to the forging room.

Compared with the White Ape Cloak Hammer's fighting style, what he is more urgent about now is the promotion of Zhang Binglu and Lao Zhangtou's answer to his hammer.

…

On the second day of the new year, no one was working in the forging room, and only two of the thirty stoves were on.

When Li Yuan arrived, he saw only a few apprentices struggling to pull the bellows and serving two burly men who were forging iron with their upper bodies bare.

Sparks flew and hammers continued.

"Is this making iron?"

Li Yuan watched from a distance.

In the fire caused by the bellows was a red-hot iron ingot. The two big men each took turns beating it with hammers.

Their movements were very skillful. When the hammer fell, their feet would spin with force, and they used their bodies to drive the sledgehammer down hard, but it was the White Ape Cloak Hammer.

However, it is not that every blow is superimposed. Instead, after every eleven blows, the force will be lost, and then the first blow will be struck again.

Obviously it is still a little short of Xiaocheng.

"Guo Pu and Pan Bo entered the forging house in the sixth year of Yongping. It has been twelve or three years now. They have not yet understood the outer three combinations. The eighteen-style cloak hammer can only hit eleven hammers..."

Li Yuan turned around, and Zhang Ben walked in with his hands behind his back. Looking at the two strong men with muscles rising, he felt that iron could not make steel:

"Really stupid as a pig!"

Glancing at the two strong men with deformed movements, Li Yuan hurriedly raised his voice: "These two senior brothers have much more energy than me, which shows that their bones are very good..."

"What's the point of having a bone?"

Zhang Ben hummed twice and pointed at the burning fire:

"Boy, do you want to try a hammer?"

"this……"

Noticing the resentful looks in the two strong men's eyes, Li Yuan hurriedly shook his head:

"It's never too late to chop wood before sharpening your knife. It's never too late to pick out a good hammer first, what do you think?"
