Old Man Hu first rehearsed the four moves, all in one go.
Then, he explained each move one by one, one action after another, and demonstrated it slowly.
He is also serious, not perfunctory.
Xun Xie is naturally eager to learn.
However, he soon discovered that the move is not simply a pose and it's done.
A move contains a dozen or even dozens of continuous movements or movements with pauses, and when making these movements, breathing is also important.
"When tearing the void all fingers must have uniform movement and this movement changes seven times each time all fingers must be synchronized, the movement should be slow first and then fast, and the breathing should be even. Fingers should be stable and spread.
When raising the palm of the hand and crossing the chest, the movement should be half a beat, and the breathing should be six long and two short.
When the fingers tear the void, both arms, elbows, and shoulders should be relaxed then tight, the waist should be tight and forceful but lithe the last two movements, and the breathing should be long and rhythmic..."
Having said so much, it turned out to be just an extremely simple movement of clawing the air in front of you using fingers as knives and palms as support.
"Why can I only learn four and not all five movements? Is the fifth too advanced for me now?" He asked.
Old man Hu chuckled having heard this countless times, "No it's the same level theoretically but it's very difficult to learn, don't bother asking."
Xun Xie was unresigned and pestered him, after the sly 'what if I meet other people who know or are from the same school and I don't even know the full moves of our school' after that Old man Hu hesitated and finally said he would show him after he mastered the first four.
Xun Xie's basic skills are quite good, but it is still extremely difficult to learn, and he can't even memorize them by rote.
Old Man Hu taught him all morning and continued in the afternoon. Xun Xie's performance was all in his eyes.
"Just come here today and come back to me tomorrow. According to the rules, I will teach you three days in a row. After that, you have to practice with your brothers and sisters until you are familiar with it before you can take my unique secret medicine and then eat it. The flesh of exotic animals nourishes the body to create new blood."
Old Man Hu waved his hand and told Xun Xie to retire.
Xun Xie, hesitantly said, "Mr. Hu, there is something I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
"If you have something to say, just say it." Old man Hu said casually, suddenly alert, and stared: "You don't regret it, do you want to take back five taels of silver?"
"No way." Xun Xie was torn between laughing and crying, what thought process was this old codger on, "It's like this, on the way here this morning, I heard a country farmer talk about a strange thing."
He spoke out loud.
He turned what he saw last night into a farmer who happened to see it when he was walking at night.
Old Man Hu didn't care at first, until he heard that the luminous body ate a person and turned into that person, his brows furrowed, his expression gradually became serious, and after listening to Xun Xie without a word, he paced with his hands behind his back. go.
After a while, Old Man Hu paused and asked, "Who is that farmer?"
Xun Xie shook his head, "I don't know him, he should be from a certain village in nine roads and 18 bends."
Old Man Hu frowned and thought for a while: "Go, call 'Si Luoyan' in."
Xun Xie hangs out in the courtyard of the Hu residence every day, so he naturally knows which of them are particularly good at martial arts, and this Si Luoyan is one of the most outstanding apprentices.
Hearing Yun Shan mention that Si Luoyan is the boss of the Broken Fang Gang, and the entire Dust Broken Fang Square is her territory. Despite being a woman, she was at times more ferocious than men and no one dared to underestimate her because of her gender.
What impressed Xun Xie the most were her muscles; she had a slender but explosive physique filled with muscles like a sleek tiger. She was in the top 3 of his dream physiques that were present in the practice yard. Very handsome.
It can be said that those who can get along well in the yard of Hu Mansion are qualified to become a local snake when they go outside. Si Luoyan was one of the larger snakes produced by the Hu mansion.
Si Luoyan was not in the yard at the moment, so Xun Xie had to run to Dust Broken Fang Square to find her.
When he came to the Broken Fang Gang, saw that it was quite incredible. It is also a mansion compound with hundreds of gang members.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Xun Xie found Si Luoyan.
This Si Luoyan was tall, two meters tall, with sharp eyes, and pale skin remnant of their school of martial arts disciples, and her notable muscles were particularly awe-inspiring giving an explosive feeling by just laying eyes on them. Her forehead matched with her gaze creating a heroic temperament, like a female general.
At this moment, she was wearing only a pair of pants and a bandage covering her pectoral muscles that have mostly lost the image of breasts and were closer to pecks than even young Xun Xie's, sitting at the table enjoying dinner, drinking fine wine, and holding a beautiful man in her arms.
Xun Xie glanced at the handsomely dressed and effeminate man, did not step forward, and stated the purpose of his visit.
"Elder Hu is looking for me? Is there anything?" Si Luoyan raised her eyebrows and asked.
Xun Xie said: "Senior sister, you will know when you go."
Si Luoyan was slightly silent, pushed the handsome man away, jumped, landed on a white horse, rode galloping quickly, and vanished in the distance.
Xun Xie originally wanted to go back with Si Luoyan to see how Old Man Hu would deal with this matter, but he didn't expect Si Luoyan to run away on horseback, and the donkey couldn't catch up no matter how fast he was, so he had to give up.
Xun Xie went to Song Mansion.
Practice calligraphy and spend the night.
The next day, Xun Xie spun the wheel and the result was a nill, thank you for your patronage.
"I can only learn moves with Old Man Hu for three days, why isn't it Great Clarity?" Xun Xie sighed softly.
On this day, Old Man Hu taught Xun Xie.
Xun Xie's progress was limited, and Old Man Hu didn't say anything from beginning to end. Anyway, he only taught for three days, and how much he could learn was entirely up to him.
At the end, Xun Xie asked, "Mr. Hu, I told you about that yesterday..."
"Oh, I asked Si Luoyan to check. He found the farmer and asked about the situation. The farmer drank too much and spoke nonsense." Old man Hu said without changing his face.
Xun Xie's heart froze when he heard this, but he couldn't ask any more questions.
The third day arrived.
Xun Xie spun the wheel again and the result was Treasure Seeker. Double critical.
"Luck is not good!"
Xun Xie shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He studied with Old Man Hu for a day, imitating his movements and trying his best to master every essential point.
As a result, barely.
"Okay, from tomorrow onwards, you can practice with others." Old Man Hu didn't make any comments, as if I had done my best.
Xun Xie could see it; he probably didn't make a deep impression on Old Man Hu.
However, this is actually fine.
"I have a plug-in by my side. It doesn't attract attention, but it's a good thing." Xun Xie thought silently.
The next day.
Xun Xie spun the wheel and won the Grand Prize!
Luck was good but not perfect.
Great Clarity was definitely what he wanted the most.
But 10 seconds Robbery was ok, just right otherwise.
After breakfast, Xun Xie came to Hu Mansion and did warm-up exercises in the east corner of the courtyard.
Soon, other apprentices came one after another.
The crowd gathered in the center of the courtyard and posed for each move.
Xun Xie silently stood behind them.
The four standing in the front row were Si Luoyan, Di Renjie, Sun Bin, and Li Che. The four of them were the strongest.
People like Yun Shan can only stand back.
The rehearsal moves have begun!
Xun Xie cheered up and practiced with them. His movements were always a beat slower or faster than others, so you could tell at a glance that he was a novice.
After the drill, some people left the Hu residence quickly, some people moved the stone locks to fight for strength, and some people caught up and learned from each other to train their combat ability.
Xun Xie walked to the south corner by himself, picked up a 40-pound stone lock, moved up and down, and practiced his strength.
In the afternoon, Xun Xie finished his training and came out of Hu Mansion. Walking alone on the street, he saw a fish stall and bought a blue tuna.
Then, he went to the blacksmith shop and bought a fish-chopping knife before returning to the Song residence.
Go to the study room to practice calligraphy.
Mr. Song came over and wanted to write a letter to his friend. Xun Xie immediately brushed the ink and recorded what he said.
The content of the letter is poetry, which is very obscure.
But Xun Xie probably understood the gist should be that I have a good life, I miss you very much, do you miss me, etc.
It's all sweet indirect words of lovers.
After dinner, Xun Xie took a comfortable bath. After that, it got dark, and he closed the door.
In the room, candles flickered.
He glanced at the fish in the water basin and picked up the fish-chopping knife in his right hand.
"Za Wardo!"
Xun Xie's mind moved, and he used the time pause.
At this moment, the candlelight stopped jumping, and the sound of the wind outside and all other movements disappeared.
In the water basin, the fish also stopped, with its tail bent and waving in the water.
Xun Xie squatted down, reached out to grab the fish, and brought a series of splashes and drops.
In fact, after repeated tests, Xun Xie has figured out the specific effect of the Grand Prize 10 seconds Robbery.
During this brief pause of ten seconds...
The world around you is as still as a picture.
But Xun Xie can move his body and move the position of objects.
For example, at this moment, the fish and water in the water basin have all changed with his movements.
If Xun Xie was walking on the street, he stopped time, walked up to a passerby, punched him in the face, and ran away quickly. The person will move slightly and be off balance.
Then, when the flow of time resumes, the person who was beaten will immediately fall on his back, cover his cheeks with a confused expression, look left and right, and then yell at him, but he can't find the person who beat him.
Even, the other party could not be sure whether he was hit by someone or something.
Or steal candy from an infant, the toddler would look at his empty hand and cry loudly prompting his parents to follow suit and find nothing.
Today, Xun Xie is going to make a new attempt.
He picked up the fish-chopping knife and stabbed it in the belly of the fish. The skin of the fish was torn open, and blood remained still.
Xun Xie dug out all the gastrointestinal bubbles in the fish's stomach, his hands not stained by the blood at all.
Then, he put the fish back in the basin.
Ten seconds is up!
Swish!
The world is flowing again.
In the basin!
The fish's tail swayed again, but the blood quickly seeped out, dyeing the water red. Then, the fish seemed to feel pain and moved a few times. Finally, the fish's belly turned over, and died.
"Verified!"
"Within ten seconds when time stops, I can kill!" Xun Xie narrowed his eyes.
If, when the time stopped, he picked up a knife and stabbed someone in the stomach, the other party would definitely have his stomach ripped open and blood spurted wildly.
In short, Xun Xie was a real bandit who stole from time itself.
A whole ten seconds was nothing before the river of time that embodies and transcends eternity but for mortals, it was a great boon, perhaps the same was true for even…Gods.
Xun Xie wasn’t certain Gods existed but with the existence of a bodhisattva, the chances were high.
