”Star Seizer Battle Form —”
”Shift your right foot slightly to the right and slightly to the left.”
”Un, then kneel on the ground, lift your right foot slightly, lower your body and start taking empty steps on the right …”
”Pull back the ox-tail stance!” ”Step forward with your right foot and bend your knee into a right bow …” ”Grandfather, is this still in place?”
Inside the Peach Blossom Cave, the father and son duo did not idle around every day. Ever since Little Red Snow had started learning the 'Body Metamorphose Scripture's 12 Stages' from her grandfather, she had become obsessed with martial arts to such an extent that it had truly taken Lin Xuanzi by surprise. And every morning when the little guy woke up, the first thing he did was not to wash his face and eat, but to walk around ”Twelve Jin”. After eating, he continued practicing. He had actually persisted for more than a month.
At this time, the little guy was practicing again. As expected, it was very normal to use its hands to kill people. Pushing, pushing, pushing, falling, lifting, grabbing, bending, spinning, swinging, stretching … He actually did it perfectly. He did it naturally and naturally! He was completely focused on practicing!
Lin Xuanzi was sitting on a rattan chair five feet in front of him. His left hand stroked his beard as he nodded his head repeatedly, occasionally giving him pointers. He was holding a fan in his right hand, and beside the fan on his right was a large earth stove. On the stove was a big green slate that was an inch thick, and there was a huge wooden basin on the stone. A firewood was burning under the stove. As Lin Xu stirred, he paid attention to the water in the pot. The pot was steaming hot.
”Mm, very good, very good …” That's it, uh, that's it... Very In place... Be careful to adjust your breathing... ”
”Oh — —” After hearing his grandfather's praise, the little guy was even more enthusiastic in practicing. In a moment, he practiced all twelve moves again! Unexpectedly, he saw that the little guy's face was rosy and his eyes were glowing with vigor. However, he did not seem tired at all. There was not even a drop of sweat on his face!
At this time, Lin Xuanzi stood up and used his hands to fish around the basin. Then he bent over and withdrew the firewood from the stove.
”Xue'er, come, grandpa will bathe you …” Lin Xuanzi saw that the water seemed to be ready and turned to call Little Red Snow over.
”Oh, I'm coming —” The small house immediately ran over.
”Come, take off your clothes!”
”Ah, here it is!”
”Mm, what's there to be afraid of? There's no one here …”
”Hee hee.” ”Ah, boat, so grandpa did it all day yesterday just to bathe me … Haha, it should be fun …”
However, he only saw a few times Chaucer took off all his clothes.
Lin Xuanzi picked up the little guy and placed him into the basin.
”Ah, grandpa, you're not going to just bathe on top of this, are you?! Ah?! ”Will you cook me?” cried the little fellow, as he saw a fire under the stove.
”Haha …” Don't be afraid, Xue'er. ”Why would grandpa cook Xue'er? Ah, it's not that cold, but grandpa is afraid that Xue'er will be cold, so he lit the fire. I'll take a bath later and it won't be cold …”
”Oh-ho, oh, oh, it's hot! ”Grandpa — —” The little guy immediately sat down in the basin and began to shout.
”Hmm? It can't be? I just tried it, it's not hot, it's just good, ah, it'll be fine in a moment. ” Lin Xuanzi then slowly guided the group into the water. This time, the little fellow stopped barking.
”Mm, that's right. Here, this way, lie down... ”Put your head here …” However, Lin Xuanzi was lying the little guy in the basin. Coincidentally, there was a platform at the 'bow' and his head was placed on it.
”Wah, so comfortable grandpa!” The little fellow felt comfortable. Not playing with water with your hands.
”Eh? ”Grandpa — — Aiyo!” The little guy suddenly sat up in a daze. Lin Xuanzi was stunned. ”Grandfather, why is the water so dark?”
”Ha ha!” ”So that's why.” ”Mm, this water is like this. It's a medicine for you to bathe in.”
”Ah?” Using water to bathe? That — would it hurt? — ”The little fellow tensed again, staring at Pappy with wide, open eyes.
”Hehe, aiyo, it's not painful at all – this potion recipe was given to you by Master Withered Leaf years ago. It was specially given to you by him.” After practicing this technique for one to two months and starting from scratch, you will be bathed with this medicine every day after finishing the practice. It will help you to move your muscles and bones, lead the circulation of your blood, channel the flow of air in your body, reduce your fatigue, and make your body as hard as steel. ”Come, lie down, ah …” Lin Xuanzi slowly put the little fellow back into the water.
”Oh--” The little guy seemed to understand, as long as it didn't hurt, it would be fine.
”Un, now relax your entire body. Un, that's right, close your eyes again …” Lin Xu guided the little guy with his hands.
”Still need to close your eyes!” As he spoke, he obediently closed his eyes.
”Good!” ”Now adjust your attention...”
”How?”
”Mm. Eye to nose, nose to heart …”
”Ah?” Grandfather, you want me to close my eyes, look at my nose, and look at my heart! What do you think? What about me opening my eyes? ”
Haha …” Lin Xuanzi laughed out loud. ”Don't open your eyes, just use your mind -- focus your attention on your nose, then move it slowly to your heart and chest --
”Oh ….” The little guy seemed to understand a little, and he really did as his grandpa said, slowly relaxing his eyebrows …
Then, Lin Xuanzi pressed his finger between the little fellow's eyebrows, ”This is the 'upper dantian', and then moved it to the center of the heart, 'this is the' middle dantian ', and finally moved it to the four fingers below the navel,' this is the 'lower dantian', 'now your focus is to slowly move your attention from the' upper dantian 'to the' middle dantian 'and then to the' middle dantian ', and after that, you will start again …”
”Oh.” In his daze, the little guy really did start to get started.
However, he saw Lin Xuanzi picking up the little guy's right hand with his left hand, the index and middle fingers of his right hand together, his two fingers carrying two gusts of true energy as fast as lightning. From ”Hand-Taiyang — Hand-Taiyang — Foot-Yang — Hand-Taiyang — Hand-Taiyang — Hand-Taiyang — Hand-Shaoyang — Hand-Zoyang — Foot-Jueyin — Governor Meridian — Meridian
The little guy's eyes were closed, his cheeks were rosy, and the corners of his brows were relaxed. It seemed extremely comfortable!
As for Lin Xuanzi, he was surprised. He originally wanted to use his own true energy to open up Little Red Snow's meridians, and with this potion, the effect would be obvious. Just as he entered, when he arrived at ”Yang Ming”, he could clearly feel another stream of air flowing around him, and he was sure that this stream of air was coming from Little Red Snow's body. Moreover, the Qi sensing technique was very obvious! He was shocked! He wanted to stop immediately, but he was afraid that he would hurt the little fellow. With a slight tremble of his fingers, the force was reduced to half. He then completed a full cycle.
This was indeed out of Lin Xuanzi's expectations. The little guy had just practiced the 'Twelve Embroidery,' and it had only been a little more than a month. Logically speaking, he should not have developed his Qi sense so quickly, it would have taken him at least three to six months to produce a weak Qi sense. And just now, he had clearly felt a stream of energy flow through the little guy's body. His heart was filled with wonder! He saw that the little fellow seemed to be asleep at this moment. His right hand would often reach out towards the little fellow's abdomen. There was indeed a stream of air, and the sensation was very distinct!
”A miracle, a miracle!” In his heart, he was secretly surprised. However, there was a look of pleasant surprise in his eyes.
He immediately grabbed the little guy's hand and walked four rounds in one breath before stopping. He realized that the water had started to cool down and that it was about time. Lin Xu lightly patted the little guy's body, ”Hey, Xue'er. Alright!” ”Get up!”
”Oh …” It seemed as if he had just woken up. He sat up and opened his eyes. He was brimming with energy and vigor! Lin Xuanzi saw all of this in his heart.
As soon as the little guy put on his clothes, he started jumping and jumping. His little mouth kept shouting, ”So comfortable, grandpa …” Then, he swung his frame and actually prepared to practice again.
”Sigh, Xue'er, do not be greedy for achievements. You must rest when you need to. You can just practice once every morning and once every morning. You can recite the rest of the words. — — It has been a long time since you recited them!”
”En —” The little guy obediently turned around and ran over to the table to sit down. He picked up a book and started reading it seriously. Lin Xuanzi turned his head to take a look, but the little fellow was holding the 'Body Metamorphose Scripture' in his hand. He smiled faintly and shook his head before carrying the basin of water into the cave and pouring it into a corner.
Thus, the little guy would practice his mental cultivation method every morning and night. At night, Lin Xuanzi would use the medicine to soak in the water and use his own inner force to help Little Red Snow clear her meridians. Little Red Snow was liking that feeling more and more. Lin Xuanzi was also very happy, because the little guy had improved significantly almost every day! Just as he was about to teach him ”Eight Stage Jin” in another month to build a good foundation for the little guy's skill in the future … …
Time flew and in the blink of an eye, it was already December.
Today, after breakfast. Little Red Snow was currently at her desk, reading and writing. She was indeed reciting from the book. Grandfather said that sooner or later, he would practice kung fu and study during the day.
”Hey, Xue'er, grandpa went to Uncle Yang's house, ah, study hard, don't run around. ”Please don't go to the cave entrance, huh?”
Lin Xuanzi would go to the Yang family every day, and the sun would come back on time in the afternoon. The crops will not be harvested until next year. So I had to go and get some vegetables every day. When they were going to live here, the Yang family wanted the father and son to live in the ”Zhen Yuan Escort Office”. However, Lin Xuanzi had his own concerns, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had many eyes and ears, and Little Red Snow was still young. Besides, there had been a case in Henan, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had decided to stay here. In order to avoid any mishap, not only would it implicate him, it would also implicate the Yang family.
”En, I understand!” Little Red Snow seemed to be looking at him very seriously.
Lin Xuanzi patted the little guy's head, turned around, and left the cave.
After grandpa left, the little guy threw the book onto the table and started practicing martial arts again. He felt rather bored after walking around once. After all, the child would repeat a few movements every day. This familiarity was completely new to him.
He just wandered around the floor with nothing to do.
Although the weather was a bit cold today, the sun was shining outside.
The little guy unconsciously walked to the entrance of the cave and slowly stuck his head out.
”Oh my god! Oh my god!” He quickly covered his eyes and quickly retreated back to the table. Then he picked up the pen and threw it on the table again, muttering to himself, ”When will I be able to fly —?”
A pair of eyes, however, kept rolling around.
”Eh?” His eyes lit up. He turned around and ran into the cave. He lived in this cave and was obsessed with training and training every day, but he never turned back to this cave.
He passed through the dense peach trees and arrived at the cave behind. I thought there would be fun here. He panted as he ran to the entrance of the cave, but then he fiercely retreated a few steps. This was also a cliff. Although it wasn't as tall as the one in front, it was still more than two Zhang. The only difference was that the opening was a bit smoother than the front.
The little fellow was speechless. He turned his head to the side, only to find that there was a slope on his right, which was connected to the cave wall.
Yeah, go take a look!
Then he turned and ran up the slope again. This slope was not too fast. It was also a peach tree. He climbed up slowly. At this height, his field of vision widened. He could clearly see that not far from the cave entrance, there seemed to be trees lined with shade. Amongst them, there was a patch of fire. It was extremely beautiful. In the forest, there seemed to be a corner of a house that protruded obliquely from the forest, just like a thatched hut. It was just that I couldn't see it clearly.
”The little guy is very curious.” ”Is there someone here?” ”Un, that's not possible. Grandfather said that before he lived here, he hadn't seen anyone in many years.” He didn't care about it at the moment. Just treat it as seeing things.
Stand under the wall and look to the east and west. But there was nothing to play with.
”Hmm?” Little Red Snow saw that there was a large peach tree on the upper left, and a hole under the peach tree, which was currently connected from the root.
”Hee hee …” ”It's fun!” The little guy ran up and crawled on the ground while tilting his head to look inside. It was four feet wide, and as far as the eye could see, he saw that there was a turn about ten feet away from the cave. Although the turn was not big, he could not see inside.
”Eh? There was light? Could it be that it's connected to the crux of the matter? ” He raised his head and looked around, roughly figuring out where the cave should lead to. He stooped down and probed the floor with his left foot. It seemed the floor was quite sturdy. Surprisingly, the little guy slowly backed away until he reached the corner and said, ”Hehe, it really is connected.”
So the light below was very bright. It really did look like it came through. The entire tunnel came through. However, there was another turning in front of him, so he couldn't see how far it was.
Lin Hongxue was a timid person. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly lowered his foot. The passageway was made of mud, but there were no weeds. Both sides were bare as well, so there was no hope of finding a tree or vine. As a result, the little guy dropped his hands to the ground and slowly and cautiously began to move downwards. Just as he was about to reach the second corner, he suddenly felt the soil under his hand sliding downwards and sinking.
It turned out that this was a tunnel that had been washed by the mountain water a long time ago. It was filled with floating sand. With this force, he sank down. Little Red Snow panicked and wanted to crawl back inside. A pair of hands climbed up as hard as they could, while his feet kicked down as hard as they could. He didn't expect the floating sand to sink even faster. There was a splash, and Little Red Snow felt as if she was in a flood. Go.
AHH!” He then heard a ”pah” sound above his head. A huge piece of rock actually rolled down. He was even more scared. He saw the rock roll to the first corner and stop moving! ”It had been stuck, but it had blocked off a hole in the wall.
Lin Hongxue quickly descended along with the floating sand. In just a short moment, she felt that although her feet were moving, her body had stopped and that the ground beneath her was clearly the sun.
He landed on the ground. The little guy slowly got up and looked around. However, the sunlight was too strong, causing his eyes to shake. He rubbed his eyes and was able to clearly see his surroundings.
”Wow!” He saw that he had already reached a flat piece of land. Green grass grew, wild flowers bloomed within. Taking a few steps forward, he turned around and looked up. From afar, he could see the cave entrance he lived in. However, the distance from this place to the cave entrance was at least ten feet high.
However, the little guy suddenly became anxious and hastily ran towards the cave entrance. He was truly worried about how he could go back there. He stuck his head into the hole and climbed up. However, the floating sand could not be stepped on steadily and couldn't be grabbed. It slid down again as soon as it took a step. It couldn't be tossed around for 30 times, and it was completely exhausted, but it couldn't go up even half a step. The little fellow was so anxious that tears were flowing out of its eyes. Its small mouth curled into a pinch, and it looked as though it was on the verge of bursting into tears.
He looked around helplessly. The little guy was quite quick-witted and didn't panic in the face of danger. ”When I raised my head and looked at the cave I lived in, I felt relieved.” Eh? This is the ground, so why don't I find a way to go to the cave entrance in front of us and wait for grandpa to come back before going home? ”
Immediately, he became excited again. His spirit was jolted. He then started to find his way to the entrance of the cave.
He saw that he was standing on a flat area with a mountain peak that was hundreds of feet high on both sides. However, it was a precipitous cliff. He could not climb it even if he wanted to. Seeing that the mountain on the left seemed to be very low, he immediately walked forward and looked around. However, he was extremely nervous, afraid that a wild beast would jump out from the two sides of the cliff. He immediately quickened his pace.
In a moment, they arrived in front of a forest, ”Eh? Didn't I just see this above the hole? ” He looked around and saw a large maple forest. Half of the maple leaves were red like fire while the other half were green and glistening. There were at least a hundred of them! Green grass grew in the maple forest, but there was not a single weed. The stream flowed in all directions, and the sound of flowing water could be heard. There were also the cries of birds. A two feet wide stone path snaked through the maple trees. Little Red Snow followed the path. Suddenly, he saw a thatched cottage under a tree on the right in front of him! He had just seen it at the cave entrance.
”Eh? ”Is there really someone here?” ”That's not right, grandpa said that it's impossible to have people here?” The little guy was full of suspicion as he carefully made his way towards the house.
The hut was built between four maple trees, about five feet above the ground, supported by a few bowls of bamboo. The hut was surrounded by a corridor made of bamboo, and a ladder made of bamboo connected it to the ground.
Little Red Snow slowly walked all the way to the front of the house. She looked around and realized that there wasn't even a bug in the house, let alone a person. ”How odd.” Eh? No one? ”Then who built this thatched cottage?” As he thought this, he grabbed the bamboo staircase with his right hand, wanting to go up and see what was going on.
