Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life

?

After the banquet, I learned about the residences of the four main hall masters from Song Muzhezhi. Hu Liang and Shen Shuangmei went to see the owner of Lei Tang, Sun Shaozong and the owner of Yu Tang, Zhu Yu. Li Xuan and Zhou Shuning were both taken by Song Muzhe with Zhou Shuning.

Both of them are masters of the innate realm. Needless to say, Hu Liang once was a "Northwest Owl" in the underworld, and also a deputy general of Qinzhou on the white road. Experienced Taoist, so there is no need to worry. Although Chen Shuangmei is young, she comes from a family of arrests. Liushemen is originally dealing with the three religions and other gentry in the world. She has been influenced by her childhood. She should have no problem. Even if something goes wrong, she also has the "Golden Purple Fish Talisman" issued by the Ministry of Justice. This is a big life-saving talisman. Even a big sect like the Fenglei Sect dares to do anything to her, otherwise she will be against the court, especially a person like Chen Shuangmei who is still with the imperial court. If an accident occurs, it will be fine if he is not discovered. Once discovered, it will be the end of the destruction of the sect.

After returning to the small courtyard near the lake, Zhou Shuning came to the side of the lake and found that the embankment here was also thoughtful. It was shaped into steps, extending all the way to the lake. When the water surface of the small lake fell, the steps would be exposed to the water surface and could also serve as a dock. The little girl looked back at Li Xuandu. After seeing him nodding slightly, she took off her shoes and socks, exposed her snow-white little feet, and then pulled up her trouser legs, and stood barefoot on the steps. The water surface had just wiped her ankles.

The lake water in early autumn is gradually becoming cool, but since the little girl began to practice the "Xuanshui Gong" of the Xuannv Sect, she gradually became happy with water. Whenever she arrived near the water, she would collect water and refine energy. She would occasionally play in the water and play with water, and would not be worried about drowning. Every time at this time, Li Xuan would let it go.

However, Li Xuandu was intrigued today and wanted to talk to the little girl about the principles of practicing boxing. Although Hu Liang hoped that Li Xuandu would teach the little girl's swordsmanship rather than boxing, Li Xuan felt that there was nothing wrong with practicing boxing. High-quality boxing is the best way to temper one's body spirit. Even alchemists who practice martial arts can practice it. Now, Shenxiao Sect, located on Taihe Mountain in Jingzhou, is the first among the four Taoist sects.

Li Xuandu walked to the bank, lifted up the corner of his robe and tucked it on his belt, revealing the clouds on his feet.

The so-called cloud shoes are cloud head shoes. The shoe heads are in the shape of cloud heads. Since this dynasty, they have been mostly worn by officials and scholars, so they are also called "cloud head shoes on the palace, gold-furn heavy platform shoes."

In today's world, only flat-headed people wear "flat-toe shoes". The shoes and boots of the literati and officials have raised their shoes, that is, the tips of the shoes are raised upwards. This is because the people are dressed up in short clothes, while the literati and officials have wide robes and big sleeves. The erected footwear can hold the bottom edge of the robe and prevent it from falling to the ground. The raised footwear part of the robe can be stretched out, and it can also prevent it from stepping on the corner of the robe.

Although people in the martial arts world are far away from the temple, let alone scholars and officials, who are the real civilians? There are many people and power, and they use their power to make money. No matter the right path and evil path, which one is not rich? Therefore, the higher the status of the martial arts world, the more gentle the style they are. They usually wear big sleeves and crane cloaks and robes inside, and tie their hair with golden crowns and jade hairpins. Naturally, they also wear long boots and shoes with tiled shoes and heads on their feet. Many martial arts men are no less than those of the children of powerful families. On the contrary, those who look very "martial arts", such as straw hats, straw sandals and cloth shirts, and hair are mostly low in the martial arts world, or are single-gang people.

This time, Li Xuandu came to Fenglei Sect as a guest, and had to follow the local customs. He replaced the flat-toed boots that were worn out due to weathering and frost, and replaced them with cloud shoes with high raised toes.

This is also true for women's shoes. If men are popular with cloud shoes, then women are popular with red and pointed shoes, with shoes up to two inches high, which can be said to be very eye-catching.

There is a difference between men and women. The men's shoes are square and the women's shoes are round. However, the little girl is still young after all, so she doesn't have to be so formal, so her shoes are replaced by two round pom poms, which is playful and cute.

At this time, Li Xuan took off his cloud shoes and put them together with the little girl's embroidered shoes, one big and one small, one square and one round.

Then Li Xuandu also pulled his trouser legs above his knees and walked into the lake.

The little girl looked at Li Xuandu, wondering and smiling.

Li Xuan pointed to his feet and asked, "Shuning, do you know how to water?"

The little girl shook her head honestly.

In the area where ethics in Jiangnan are strict, most women from wealthy families live in the unique embroidery building of boudoir. Women who are waiting for their names to be married cannot leave easily before getting married. The little girl is from Jiangzhou, the first state in Jiangnan. Although it is a water town, women like her scholarly family may not even be able to leave the embroidery building, and they cannot take off their clothes to learn the ability to swim. Even if Zhou Tingchao's family tradition is open-minded, there will be no exception.

Li Xuandu was not surprised by this and said, "I lived by the beach when I was a child, but swimming seemed to be an innate skill. At that time, I walked in the water and could straighten my body and even expose my entire belly and dantian from the water."

The little girl blushed a little and said in a whisper, "Brother... want to teach me the ability to swim?"

Li Xuan was stunned, then laughed and said, "It's too rude to learn how to swim in other people's places. I want to tell you the principles of practicing boxing. In fact, it's not much different from swim in this swim. Look at my feet."

Zhou Shuning hurriedly looked down and saw that Li Xuandu's ten toes slightly separated, then he took a step forward, left the range of the steps, and stepped directly into the lake.

"Often people who know how to walk on water rely on the buoyancy of water. It is the ultimate goal to be able to expose half of their body. However, practicing boxing can still lift their body upwards and always expose their position above their knees. This is called water not only the knees."

While speaking, Li Xuan slowly "walked" forward a few steps, and he was indeed standing in the water, and the water just now didn't reach his knee.

The little girl widened her eyes.

Standing on the water is nothing. With her brother's cultivation, it is not difficult to truly achieve "water drifting". However, she can clearly see through her "sky eye power" that her brother has not used any energy in his body, which is a bit incredible.

Li Xuan walked on the water because he had already obtained the Buddhist "leakage of leakage" and his body was easy for ordinary people. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was as light as a swallow. He could even raise his body several inches. In the end, the water surface was barely over his ankles.

Li Xuandu stopped and said, "Water has buoyancy, and he has the word "power". He also practices boxing with the word "power", how to use force and how to exert force. The ability to step on water is to use your feet to exert dark strength, and then use the buoyancy of water, and even without the qi to support your body. If you can achieve this state, you will be considered entering the hall."

If Zhou Shuning saw Li Xuandu's body evaporated when she was practicing boxing last time and was deterred from practicing boxing, then this time she saw that Li Xuandu's ability was so hard that she developed a yearning for practicing boxing. This is also the difference between a wise and a mediocre teacher. The same skill, if you want to teach your disciples, you must use the right method and give your preferences, otherwise it will be the difference between half the effort and twice the effort with half the effort.

Li Xuandu asked softly: "Do you want to practice boxing?"

After the little girl hesitated for a moment, she focused her attention.

Li Xuandu smiled a little more and said, "Only if you endure hardships, you will be the best. The same is true for practicing boxing. The earlier you practice boxing, the greater the hardships you suffer, and the higher your future achievements will be. Although it depends on qualifications, it is still a fair thing. Since you want to practice boxing, I will help you pinch your muscles and bones later."

The little girl suddenly felt a bad premonition, but before she could refuse, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you are a woman, not much the same as a man, and there is a difference between a man and a woman. I'd better wait for Shuangmei to come back and let her help you clear your muscles and bones."

When the little girl heard that it was Sister Chen, she let go of her heart that had just risen.

After all, Sister Chen is such a gentle woman, how could she be embarrassed by her?

However, Li Xuandu's second half of the sentence was not said, and another reason was that Chen Shuangmei's "little grasping hand" was more suitable for helping people to open their muscles and improve their bones than his "big four-elephant hand".

Unfortunately, Hu Liang was not here, otherwise he would have kindly persuaded the little girl to say a few words, just practice boxing and martial arts, you can get back as much as you pay. But why are there very few people in the world who rely on practicing boxing to reach the top of martial arts? Because in addition to being born with roots and bone qualifications, there is another important reason, that is, you have to endure hardships and suffer.

Only by enduring hardships can one become the best. Most people understand this principle, but how many people can truly do it personally? They say that doing their best is to be destined, but how many people are to be truly to be responsible?

Most people in this world have a low level of effort, far from trying to compete for talent.
