Chapter 7

After breakfast, Duan Wuji put down the bowls and chopsticks and came to the courtyard, waiting for the smart monk to come.

After the intelligent monk came to the middle of the yard, he began to explain some basic knowledge of the stick technique and some precautions in using the stick to Duan Wuji, and then slowly practiced the Eighteen Arhat stick technique move by move.

The intelligent monk explained while practicing, while explaining and rehearsing, Duan Wuji watched intently while listening to the intelligent monk's explanation, until the intelligent monk practiced for the ninth time, he taught Duan Wuji, the eighteen arhats, one move at a time Duan Wuji learned the stick technique very hard.

At noon, when Liu Caihua shouted loudly for dinner, the two master and apprentice just finished practicing sticks.

Duan Wuji came to the dining table, reached out to pick up two pieces of steamed buns and gnawed them, shouting while eating, "Oh, I'm so hungry today."

Duan Yanqing looked at the gluttonous second boy and said: "Wuji, eat slowly, why are you in a hurry! You have something to eat."

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this. "Aren't you hungry?"

When Liu Caihua saw her husband, she said to her husband: "Leave him alone.

Let him eat hard!
It's not like you don't know that Er Dan has been so greedy since he was a child. "

Duan Yanqing smiled and did not speak.

The smart monk saw it and said with a smile: "Benefactor Duan, this child Wuji has exhausted a lot of physical energy in practicing martial arts. He must have starved to death long ago. Besides, our farmer only eats some bran and vegetables. How can there be any nutrition? It’s understandable to eat some.”

Duan Yanqing smiled wryly after hearing this: "I'm not afraid of him eating, I'm afraid of choking him."

After lunch, Duan Wuji devoted himself to the intense stick practice again. When the sun was westward, Duan Wuji began to learn the new method of inner strength from the intelligent monk.

After the red sun set in the west, the two of them walked towards the dining table.After dinner, Duan Wuji sat cross-legged on the kang early and went to meditate.

For twenty days in a row, Duan Wuji and Zhi Zhi monk did this every day, and Duan Wuji's stick technique gradually became more and more refined.

After dinner, the smart monk asked Duan Wuji with a smile and said, "Wuji, you have cultivated such a long time of internal strength, have you gained anything?"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Zhizhi monk: "Master, whenever I practice the new method of inner strength, I always feel like there are countless small insects crawling in the blood vessels. I have a feeling of itching, but it's quite good, and I don't have any other feelings. Yes. Hey, Master, why are you asking these questions?"

The wise monk laughed when he heard this. "Wuji, this is the effect of the new method of internal strength. I didn't expect you to have this effect in just a few days! After a long time, if you have the power in your palm, you can kill a cow with one palm.

In two days, I will also teach you the peerless martial art of my youth temple, the powerful golden steel palm. However, with your current internal strength, you still can't do this, so you have to work hard. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "Well, Master, I see."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji went to the kang to meditate again. The wise monk said to Duan Yanqing: "Blesser Duan, Wuji's martial arts I have taught are almost the same. I plan to leave for Shaolin Temple in a few days. It's not a bad idea not to go back for a long time That's the thing. Besides, I only know a little bit of martial arts, and I won't know any more."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Master Zhizhi, Wuji has not learned Kungfu from you for three months, how can you just leave? Stay for a while longer. If you are so lazy, you have to watch Wuji practice this kungfu." Learn."

The smart monk nodded helplessly. "Okay, then I'll make up the number ninety-nine, which is also in line with the regulations of my Buddhism.

Benefactor Duan, please be busy, I am going to rest. "

After speaking, the wise monk returned to his room.

Two days later, the wise monk really began to teach the golden steel palm of Shaolin Temple.

From then on, Duan Wuji became even more busy all day long. In the morning, he first practiced the sword technique for more than an hour, and then started to practice the eighteen arhat stick techniques.

In the afternoon, follow the smart monk to learn the powerful golden steel palm method, and practice the new method of inner strength in the evening.

In a flash, more than half a month passed, and Duan Wuji gradually learned the powerful golden steel palm technique.

This morning, after breakfast, Zhizhi monk said to Duan Wuji: "Wuji, you have practiced martial arts for such a long time, you can perform with your parents in the yard later."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "Well, Master, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never embarrass Master."

Smart monk looked at Duan Yanqing.

"Benefactor Duan, do you have time? If you have time, just watch Wuji's performance."

Duan Yanqing laughed when he heard this.

"What do you mean if you are free or not? Even if you don't have time, I want to watch Wuji's performance today."

After hearing this, Liu Caihua also said, "That's right, that's right, how can we not watch this bastard's Kung Fu show? No matter how busy I am, I still want to watch it."

After saying that, Duan Yanqing's family walked outside the door together with the smart monk.

Duan Wuji stood in the middle of the yard with half a water carrying stick in his hand, and then a crane aired its wings and opened its posture.

Then he practiced the fire-raising pose, and saw others walking with sticks, sticks following people, and a stick was danced by him in the wind. After a while, Duan Wuji finished practicing this set of stick techniques.

Then he closed his moves and stood in the middle of the yard.

Afterwards, Duan Wuji put down the stick and began to practice boxing and kicking kung fu. He jumped up and down to perform the general training of boxing and kicking kung fu, such as rabbit kicking an eagle, black tiger digging out its heart, boy worshiping Buddha, goshawk catching snakes, all of them one by one. performed out.

In the end Duan Wuji began to perform palm techniques, and saw him waving his palms and dancing in the courtyard, the dancing crowd was dazzled!
In the end, Duan Wuji stood in the courtyard in a fixed manner, and Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua applauded happily when they saw each other.

The smart monk saw it and said with a smile: "Benefactor Duan, that's all the poor monk's ability, no, it's all passed on to Wuji.

The poor monk is still a monk who knows guests, he doesn't learn many martial arts, but he has stayed in Shaolin Temple for many years, and he heard that Yinran has learned this martial arts for many years.

The poor monk has already made a decision, and the poor monk will rush to Shaolin Temple tomorrow morning, it is not the case to stay outside for many years.

Promise, our master-student relationship is over, and you will have to practice by yourself in the future.

Remember, there is no end to learning, and the principle of seeking perfection is also the principle. You must not waste your time and get half a bottle of vinegar.

Promise, do you hear me clearly? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "Master, the disciple has memorized everything, don't worry, the disciple will never waste his time."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing said to Liu Caihua: "Master Zhihui has decided to leave tomorrow, so let's cook something delicious tonight. I'll go to the town to buy some good wine. Let's have a farewell party with Master Zhizhi tonight." .”

Willow cauliflower promised to go.

Duan Yanqing also packed up his clothes and went straight to the town.

The smart monk is still watching Duan Wuji practice martial arts in the courtyard, watching where Duan Wuji's moves are not in place, and then guiding them one by one.

In the evening, there was a burst of fragrance from the small courtyard, and after a while, Duan Yanqing came out of the house and shouted at the monk Zhizhi: "Master Zhizhi, don't instruct him to practice, the meal is ready.

Wuji, don't practice today, come in and have dinner with your master.Let's practice again tomorrow after your teacher leaves. "

The two agreed and went straight to the dining table. After the family sat down, Duan Yanqing picked up the jug, poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Master Zhihui.

"Master Zhizhi, you have worked hard these days, come, let's have a drink."

The two chatted while drinking.

Duan Changsheng smiled and said, "What? Why didn't the hungry wolf eat hard today?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "This is Master's farewell meal, do you think I'm so impolite?"

The intelligent monk listened and smiled and said: "Wuji, how can there be so many poor words? Hurry up and eat."

Liu Caihua reached out and took a piece of white flour bun and handed it to him, Duan Wuji ate it in small bites, completely lost the look of a hungry wolf in the past.

After dinner, the family went to bed early.

The next morning, Zhizhi got up early, packed up his things and walked straight to the village.

Duan Yanqing and Duan Wuji sent him far away, and the intelligent monk turned his head and said to the father and son, "Benefactor Duan, Wuji, please come back. As the saying goes, sending you thousands of miles, there will be a farewell."

After speaking, the wise monk left without looking back.Duan Yanqing and Duan Wuji didn't turn back until they lost sight of the intelligent monk.
