Chapter 88 Let’s learn martial arts together
Black Bandit Mountain.
A new day has begun.
Early in the morning, the morning breeze was filled with the sounds of chickens and ducks, as well as the footsteps of villagers carrying wood.
Now during the slack season, there are three major things happening in the village: making ink, weaving, and building houses.
The market for Black Mountain Ink in other places is still expanding, orders are still increasing, and the ink workshop is busy every day.
The cotton spinning workshop led by Lu Chunniang was creaking and creaking all day long. After making clothes for the villagers in the mountains, they spun the remaining cotton materials into cotton cloth, and they would try to sell a batch next month.
When Wu Fugui heard from his son Wu Zhan that there was cotton cloth in Liangmin Village, he rushed to order a batch first, thinking that it would definitely sell well.
The villagers in the workshop would be very tired if they worked every day, so the village proposed a rotation system.
The villagers working in the workshop have one day off every three days. They work hard when they are working and rest peacefully when they are resting.
Moreover, all the people from Jianghu who came to celebrate Xue Che's birthday decided to stay.
There are enough people on the mountain now and they can take turns working.
But more people means more houses are needed. Recently, except for the villagers working in the workshops, everyone has been building houses every day.
Hao Ren planned an area on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain to build houses.
In the future, there may be more and more people in the Black Bandit Mountain area. They not only consider the current population, but also have to reserve some for future use.
"As everyone knows, a lot of new people have come into our village."
On the open space on the top of the mountain, Hao Ren stood in the middle and announced loudly to the villagers.
He was standing on a large rock, holding a horn-like object to his lips to amplify his voice.
There are many villagers now, and if the voice is too low, people outside the circle won’t be able to hear it clearly.
"In our Liangmin Village, no matter how many people there are, our lives will get better and better. But in today's world, in order to live a good life and manage the village well, in addition to working and learning to read, we must also strengthen our bodies and learn some self-defense methods.
The new villagers who joined our village all have some basic martial arts skills. Therefore, starting today, the village will offer martial arts classes to teach everyone. "
"Practicing martial arts?" The villagers all took a deep breath.
Being able to read and write is a big deal, but he actually practices martial arts?
My goodness, what kind of life are they living like young masters from a wealthy family?
Hao Ren raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and continued:
"Due to the large number of people who want to learn martial arts, we have more than a dozen martial arts masters who will lead everyone in the training. Later, each villager will find their own master according to the list posted on the kitchen door."
"If you have any objections to the distribution results, you can come to me or Bai Xun to discuss it."
After Hao Ren finished speaking, Bai Xun came up and emphasized several safety precautions that should be taken when practicing martial arts.
After the village meeting ended, everyone couldn't help but rush to the kitchen door.
The first generation of bandits who turned good were relatively calm. They all knew kung fu and did not need to learn it again. At most, they could help teach it.
Those who rushed over excitedly were refugees who had come from Qianzhong Road before. They had a bumpy journey and knew that if they had kung fu skills, they would have more confidence when they went out in the future and would not be easily bullied by people like Zhang Dazhuang's brothers.
The notice above the kitchen listed the members and masters of each team.
It didn't take long for everyone to find their team.
That night, the villagers began their first martial arts training.
You don't need to learn in depth, just the basic entry-level exercises will be enough.
Elder Zixuan is one of the chosen masters.
He originally thought that the villagers would learn slowly, after all, they didn't have the skills they had since childhood.
If the villagers were eager to ask him to teach them the Zixiao sword technique, he would have to train these new disciples well.
But the fact is that everyone learned the basic skills quickly and solidly.
Because they do heavy work every day, their bodies are very strong; plus the food in the village is good and the nutrition supply is sufficient, so they are in good health.
In this situation, Elder Zixuan began to let the villagers practice some simple moves using tree branches as swords.
But after two or three days of practice, a young man named Wei Qi came to Elder Zixuan with an embarrassed look on his face:
"Master Zixuan, I'm sorry, I'm quitting your team. Sword training isn't really for me. I've already told Village Chief Hao and Captain Bai that I'll be joining Master Ouyang and his team tomorrow to learn Toad Kung Fu."
Elder Zixuan blew his beard and glared:
"Is the Toad's ability as good-looking as the Purple Sky Sword Technique of my Purple Sky Palace? Young man, do you know what beauty is?"
You don't want to learn this ethereal sword technique, and you want to be a toad next door?!
Wei Qi scratched his head and said frankly, "I don't quite understand it, but Toad Kung Fu looks quite powerful, and it doesn't require weapons, so I think it's very practical."
Master Ouyang lay down on the ground, and the leaves and dust on the ground were blown away.
Once you master this skill, sweeping the floor will be much easier.
Elder Zixuan: "...You can go now."
Two days later, Aunt Cuihua came again:
"Master Zixuan, I can't swing this fork of a branch. Village Chief Hao and Captain Bai have agreed to let me move elsewhere. I'll go learn the bone-shrinking technique from Master Zhao and his team later."
Elder Zixuan fell backwards in anger:
"What's so good about learning the bone-shrinking technique? It shrinks you so small, it's so stingy."
Aunt Cuihua put her hands on her hips and said, "Elder Zixuan is right. There is no distinction between high and low martial arts. My bone shrinking skill is not stingy."
Elder Zixuan: "...I made a mistake."
A few more days passed.
Two elderly men came to Elder Zixuan and said they could not continue studying.
Elder Zixuan closed his eyes and said, "Tell me, do you want to learn Toad Kung Fu or Bone Shrinking Kung Fu?"
The two old men shook their heads and said, "We are old and our movements are slow. We can't learn these skills, but we think the Tai Chi taught by Master Zhang is very good."
Elder Zixuan lost his disciples again.
He watched helplessly as other people's disciples grew in number, while his own disciples were so few that they could be counted on one hand.
These people really have no patience, no vision, and no aesthetic taste!
Old Man Qin laughed at him: "Old Man Zi, if you don't show us something real, you won't have any disciples left. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, what a shame..."
"Shut up!" Elder Zixuan threw two tree branches and poked Old Man Qin in the buttocks.
Old Man Qin raised his hand and stabbed out two plum blossom darts in response.
Elder Zixuan looked very arrogant, but he felt really uncomfortable in his heart.
When the last remaining disciple in his team stood before him and opened his mouth to speak, Elder Zixuan interrupted him:
"We can discuss things if we want to. Don't talk about giving up so easily."
"Master can teach you my unique mental method, which is something that many outer disciples would beg for. To tell you the truth, Master has long seen that you have extraordinary bones, and now I will make an exception and accept you as my closed disciple!"
"You'd better seize this opportunity. I will not accept any more disciples after the last one... By the way, what's your name?"
"Master, my disciple's name is Xue Che."
Xue Che stood straight, holding a branch.
The sun and the moon shine in my eyes, and their brilliance flows.
He has been in Black Bandit Mountain for almost two years, and his health is getting better and better. Doctor Yu said that he can now learn martial arts.
Elder Zixuan: "You look so handsome, what a nice name. Do you still want to leave now?"
Xue Che: "Master, I don't want to leave."
Elder Zixuan was puzzled: "Then what did you want to say to me just now?"
Xue Che cleared his throat:
"I have heard of the Purple Sky Sword Technique, which is considered the most prestigious sword technique. If mastered to perfection, a single strike could defeat a million warriors.
I want to tell Master that I will not leave and will follow Master to learn swordsmanship well. I hope Master can give me more guidance."
"Okay... okay..." Elder Zixuan was deeply moved. "Let's start learning the Heart Method today!"
"Don't you still need to continue learning the basics?"
"No need to delay, let's study together!"
