Taoist master wants to ascend

The hammer head broke through the wind and moved around.

Qin Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly.

The thin boy was doing the Cloak Hammer 1, 2 and 3 moves. His moves were not standard and the strength was weak, but when he danced with the hammer, he was a little more fluid than the other apprentices around him.

Although he is still very young and unfamiliar to him, the fact that an apprentice who learned the hammering technique for the first time can fight to such an extent shows his talent.

This kid...

"He He……"

In the huge open space, all the apprentices were dancing with their hammers. Only Lu Zhong stood there in a daze, not feeling when the hammer in his hand fell.

The other apprentices couldn't see the difference, why couldn't he?

This apprentice of the middle school who is as thin as a chicken is actually much more fluent in the hammer dance for the first time than when he first learned it?

"Hehe, he is a good blacksmith!"

Qin Xiong's expression was subtle. After staring for a few times, he glanced at the other apprentices and turned to leave.

Lu Zhong felt a chill behind him. He turned around and saw his master. He couldn't help but feel a little cold. He immediately lost all thought of giving advice and hurriedly followed.

boom!

The sledgehammer hit the ground, kicking up dust.

"call!"

Li Yuan gasped for air, sweating profusely in the slightly cold night, but he did not feel tired, but had a feeling of unfinished business.

With the blessing of the proficient hammer technique, he had the urge to dance with the hammer happily, but he had to restrain himself.

The timing is wrong.

"Sure enough, the blessing of the training hammer is more in the hammering technique, and the master test has surpassed other apprentices!"

Glancing at Lu Zhong's leaving figure, Li Yuan felt that he was doing pretty well, better than other apprentices, but not much better.

"Still be cautious!"

Breathing calmly, Li Yuan let go of the hammer, and all the apprentices in the martial arts field also dispersed, except for a few who still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Niugui is among them.

"Too much is not enough. Although I am in high spirits, my body is still a little thinner. I was already a little overworked last night and it is not suitable for additional training today."

Li Yuan returned to the central courtyard, first did some stretching exercises, and then got a basin of water to scrub his body. It was already dark.

At this time, Niu Gui returned to the middle courtyard, but he was still standing still, sometimes dancing with his hammer, which made several apprentices who had been lying down grit their teeth and get up again.

"It's too hard..."

Li Yuan has no experience in martial arts training, but he has experience in fitness. It is no joke to hurt the body and dissolve muscles due to intense training.

He wanted to give some advice, but after thinking about it he gave up.

It's not a matter of friendship, but these apprentices are fighting for the chance to change their lives, and no one can make them give up.

“I really want a glass of watermelon juice!”

After putting on his clothes and lying down, Li Yuan recalled his past life again and fell asleep with nostalgia.

The next day, Li Yuan woke up to the groans of his fellow apprentices. Li Yuan also felt sore all over. Speaking of it, there were few in the middle courtyard who were in worse health than him.

This has nothing to do with the root bones, it is purely a matter of long-term malnutrition.

"I want to eat meat!"

Li Yuan heard his stomach growling.

The age of fifteen or sixteen is when you eat the most, and with the increased amount of exercise, it is strange that you are not hungry.

Despite being hungry, Li Yuan and several apprentices were already busy, making fires, transporting charcoal, and cleaning up the yard...

"Liu Qing, I'll chop wood."

Li Yuan opened his mouth and changed jobs with Liu Qing, who was naturally happy to do so.

"It's so dark under the lamp, I forgot this hatchet!"

Reaching out to grasp the hatchet with many gaps, Li Yuan's eyes reappeared in gray, but the light was much weaker than the training hammer.

[Break hatchet (not advanced)]

[Control requirements: None]

[Mastering the Effect: Introduction to the Wood Splitting Knife Technique]

"...a low-level person who doesn't enter the rank!"

Li Yuan shook his head inwardly, but he had no intention of asking Liu Qing to get his job back. He casually chopped the vertical firewood into two halves.

"Although it's not a hammer, the technique of exerting force is the same!"

Familiar with the technique of exerting force, Li Yuan cut the sword quickly, and in a short while he had finished chopping today's firewood. He was not idle after that, and continued to be busy with other things.

In the past month or so, he often felt that his vision was dim at this time, but now, although there are many chores, he enjoys them and is constantly familiar with the techniques of exerting force.

At the same time, he also looked towards the kitchen.

That was Fatty Sun's place, and anyone who looked around would be severely beaten. Although Li Yuan was curious about the effect of those kitchen knives, he would not ask for trouble.

While busy, the sun will soon reach its peak.

The lunch meal at the forging shop is not bad, and the apprentices in the middle courtyard also have three steamed buns, two bowls of gruel, and half a plate of pickled radishes.

"No oil or water!"

It didn't matter whether the steamed bun was delicious or not. Li Yuan finished it in a short while. Although his stomach was full, he still felt hungry.

"The food in the middle courtyard is only enough to keep you full. If you want to practice martial arts, you have to take supplements. Otherwise, you will kill people sooner or later!"

Hungry even overpowered Li Yuan's desire to explore the weapon. With the money given by his second brother, Li Yuan went straight to the cooked meat shop, bought half a catty of the cheapest pig offal and ate it before he felt like he was pregnant. Food.

"Man, can you show me that cleaver of yours?"

Li Yuan, who was squatting in the corner and eating minced meat, went to the cooked meat shop again. The waiter greeted him with a smile. Hearing this, he looked back at the busy store and then stretched out his hand:

"Let's see."

[Butcher’s cleaver (not advanced)]

[The bone-cutting knife that Butcher Hu has used to chop meat for many years is badly worn...]

[Mastering Effect: Introduction to Sword Skills]

[Conditions for control: None]

"Introduction to Sword Skills!"

Li Yuan felt slightly happy, glanced at the badly worn bone-cutting knife, and called the shop owner with a sinister face to come over.

After some haggling, he bought the knife for one penny.

"Control!"

Looking for a deserted corner of the alley, Li Yuan half-closed his eyes. On the small gray table, the butcher's bone-cutting knife was clearly visible.

However, Zhang Wengui cannot control it.

"Although this stand is small, it can still accommodate a few weapons. But if you want to control more weapons, you have to be promoted to the Weapon Master..."

Just thinking about the harsh conditions, Li Yuan felt a little headache.

The Universiade dynasty collects taxes every autumn, and only silver is collected. Silver is expensive. Only 1,200 copper coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver, while gold...

That is not in circulation at all...

Li Yuan kept thinking about other uses of the weapons in his mind, and he tried to change the weapons he controlled.

Buzz~

When the butcher's bone-cutting knife replaced the training hammer and entered the palm of the weapon, Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone had taken away a piece of clothing.

"The pile skills and hammering skills I memorized are still there, but once the proficiency-level hammering skills are gone, the familiar feeling that I had after practicing hammering for decades is gone..."

Li Yuan leaned against the earth wall and felt:

"But it feels like I have been chopping meat for many years... It seems that the replacement of the weapons I control has little impact on me, but it seems that I can't change it at any time..."

"Can the control soldiers be replaced only every two days?"

Li Yuan felt relieved.

…

…

In the next few days, Li Yuan returned to control the soldiers. With the blessing of the proficient level hammer technique, his pile skills gradually improved, but his appetite also became larger and larger, and he had to buy half a kilogram of minced meat almost every day.

The broken silver given by his second brother will soon be bottomed out. Li Yuan has always firmly believed that the best place to spend the money is on himself.

Qin Xiong did not come to teach the cloak hammer again. It seemed that he had an escort mission, so Lu Zhong taught it on his behalf. After a few days, he also taught the eighteen hammer techniques in full.

Li Yuan didn't show any more, but he just happened to be a little faster than the other apprentices, attracting attention without looking dazzling.

…

"Li Yuan, come here and let me clean it up!"

On this day, Li Yuan, who had just finished standing, heard Fatty Sun's voice coming from afar before he could wipe his body.

When several apprentices who had not entered the room heard the sound, they immediately sped up their movements and returned to the room one after another. Li Yuan rubbed his wrists, responded, and came to Fatty Sun's small courtyard.

As the person in charge of food and drink for most of the blacksmithing shop, Fatty Sun's treatment goes without saying. He has a small independent courtyard, not only meat every meal, but also hot baths.

At this moment, Fatty Sun, who was full of wine and food, was taking a bath in the house. He didn't shy away from Li Yuan, leaning on the tub and smoking his pipe.

"I heard you're good at hammering?"

Looking at Li Yuan cleaning up the leftovers, Fatty Sun in the inner room blew out a smoke ring:

"What a pity, what a pity."

This fat man...

Li Daoye's heart moved slightly, his cleaning movements slowed down, and he raised his head in confusion:

"What's the shame of being in charge of the spoon?"

"There's something I just learned about."

Fatty Sun casually smoked his pipe outside the bathtub, lowered his voice, and said with a smile on his lips:

"Qin Xiong is good at martial arts and good at wine and meat, but the best thing is he is a womanizer!"

"ah?"

Li Yuan's heart moved.

"It is said that he has one in Chai Yufang. I heard that his surname is Niu. He is slim and pretty..."

Fatty Sun joked a little:

"I heard her surname is Niu?"

"Surnamed Niu?"

Li Yuan's mind changed and he remembered someone:

"Niu Gui?!"

After being slightly shocked, Li Yuan came to his senses.

He was a little disappointed that the quota was determined by default, but he didn't take it too seriously. A time-honored brand that has been passed down for more than 200 years would have collapsed long ago if there was no way to advance.

Not this time, but also the next time.

Worst of all, he also learned martial arts a year or two ahead of schedule, which is not a loss...

"Our Forging Shop is a time-honored brand with more than 200 years of history. It has its own process for training apprentices, but as a rule, Qin Xiong will not be the one to teach you martial arts..."

Putting down his cigarette bag, Fatty Sun stood up from the tub with his big belly, wiped it casually a few times, put on his clothes and walked out.

"I see……"

Li Yuan was slightly absent-minded.

Some are curious about what Fatty Sun wants to do.

Could it be that he accidentally bumped into this fat man’s eye?

Or……

"There is only one quota for each courtyard to join the inner courtyard this time. Therefore, more than a month ago, Niu Gui joined the middle courtyard. Do you understand?"

Fatty Sun smiled half-heartedly, wanting to see the boy's unwilling expression.

Li Yuan lowered his head: "Thank you, Master Sun, for the tip."

"Aren't you disappointed?"

Fatty Sun was a little disappointed: "You are obviously the best performer, but you can't go to the inner courtyard. Don't you have resentment in your heart?"

"There is some loss, but not much. As for resentment..."

Li Yuan's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and answered honestly:

"This opportunity was not mine in the first place, so why should I resent it? At least I learned martial arts..."

Fatty Sun suppressed his smile and stared at Li Yuan for a while before smiling: "It's quite interesting..."

"This fat guy..."

Li Yuan was very worried because he was being stared at. Is this Fatty Sun probably not good at martial arts?

"Unfortunately, you are still wrong."

Fatty Sun blew his pipe and said calmly:

"Although the White Ape Cloak Hammer is not the best martial arts in the shop, how could it be passed on to you so easily?"

"Not complete?"

Li Yuan reacted.

"Of course, there are all the moves, but only the moves and skills. Even if you have the best skills, you can't even get started if you don't have three to five years!"

While Fatty Sun was speaking, his fat palms fell on Li Yuan's shoulders.

Li Yuan wanted to hide, but wherever he could, severe pain and chill rushed into his heart almost at the same time.

"Your bones are pretty good, barely above average, below average, right? It's a pity that your bones are a bit weak..."

Li Yuan's back felt a little cold, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

The moment he was pressed by that big hand on his shoulder, he felt like a lamb falling into a tiger's mouth, unable to control his life or death.

At this moment, I couldn't help but gasp, and my heart was beating fast.

How could this fat man who was fawning and smiling next to Qin Xiong be so powerful? !

"Why, are you surprised that I know martial arts?"

Fatty Sun quite enjoyed the shock and astonishment of others:

"Why do you think I have such a fat position as the captain of the Central Court? My martial arts, hum..."

Isn't it because your brother-in-law is the second shopkeeper?

Li Yuan cursed in his heart, but he could only act like he was listening.

"The White Ape Cloak Hammer can be divided into internal and external parts. It can be divided into three parts: large and small. It is also divided into training methods, fighting methods, and breathing methods."

Under the moonlight, Fatty Sun, who had lost his smile, said lightly:

"Now, I will teach you the 'Ape Six Breathing Technique'!"

So complicated?

Li Yuan was a little startled:

"Why are you teaching me?!"

"I'll teach you a lesson. If you want people to look at you differently in this world, you either have to be talented or you have to have a plan...

You are a mediocre person, how could it be because you are so talented? "

Fatty Sun took a few steps and turned around with his hands behind his hands. Under the night, the smile on his fat face could still be seen:

"Of course it's because your second brother stuffed me with money!"
