Chapter 1 cross again
The setting sun was like fire, and the lake surface was scaled with waves, reflecting a little bit of red light.

By the lake, a shirtless young man tied the rope of the boat tightly, carrying half a bucket of fish and shrimp, and walked towards a brightly lit house not far away.

Chen Yi's lean upper body was tanned due to years of fishing, and his seemingly malnourished body had tight muscles.

He came to a thatched hut with a bucket of fish and shrimp that occasionally churned, and pushed open the simple door hung by wooden boards:

"Mother, I'm back." Chen Yi handed the bucket to a middle-aged woman with white hair.

The woman took the bucket, picked up the dead fish and shrimp inside and threw it into the burning pot, saying:
"Go wash your hands and take a break, and wait for the meal."

In a few moments, there were three people sitting around the pit in the inner part of the hut, Mrs. Chen, Chen Yi, and his 12-year-old sister Chen Ran.

The middle-aged woman, Mrs. Chen, took out three old bowls, scooped up a bowl of fish soup respectively, then scooped up the soup base a few times with a spoon, and put all the broken fish and shrimp meat into Chen Yi's bowl,
Finally, he took out the only yellow noodle cake and handed it to Chen Yi, saying, "Eat it quickly."

Chen Yi couldn't bear to see his mother and his sister's two bowls of clear fish soup with little water, and his sister swallowing her saliva to force himself not to look at the pancakes and fish.
He broke off half of the pancake and handed it to his sister, but was hit back with chopsticks by Mrs. Chen:

"You eat the pancakes yourself. Your father is gone, and you are the backbone of our family. You need to work harder to do heavy work. Ranran and I don't work at night, just drink some soup to warm our stomachs."

The little girl at the side, Chen Ran, hurriedly said in a sensible way: "Brother, you eat, I'm not hungry." After finishing speaking, she held the bowl and took a big mouthful of fish soup, then grinned at Chen Yi, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons. Couldn't hide the bitterness well.

She is only 12 years old, how can she not be hungry when she is growing up?
Chen Yi silently took a bite of the pancake, which was made of sorghum noodles, and his throat was pulled. He had never eaten such an unpalatable pancake in more than 30 years in his previous life, but since he came to this world 16 years ago, he has already gotten used to it, and he cherished it very much tonight.

"Xiao Yi, how much copper coins have you saved by selling fish?" After eating, Chen asked.

"There are 21, mother."

The next moment, Mrs. Chen took a deep breath, as if she had made some major decision, and pulled Chen Yi: "Of course, stay at home and don't move. Come with me."

It was already dark outside, and Chen Shi brought Chen Yi to the lake. Regardless of the cold water, she crouched down beside a reed and groped for something.
Not long after, there was the sound of splashing water, and she dragged a rope made of twisted red cloth up, under which was an oilcloth bag the size of a fist.

After seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Chen pulled Chen Yi into the hut, took advantage of the dim oil lamp, and solemnly handed the oilcloth bag to Chen Yi:

"Xiao Yi, the 180 copper coins left by your father here are exactly 200 coins including yours.

Tomorrow you will go to the martial arts gym in the town to pay the tuition fee and learn martial arts for a month.

Remember, don’t be afraid to endure hardships, keep your eyes open, even if you can’t learn it for a while, write down more, and practice slowly when you come back.

Our family's father is gone, and you are the only man, you have to provoke the leader!
In addition, your sister is already 12 years old. Recently, Liu, the scarlet head in the village, has nothing to do and beats the door of our house.

What this means, you should know in your heart, I will give you a year, if there is no improvement, I have no choice but to ask your sister to marry someone else. "

"Liu Liu?" Chen Yi's eyes turned cold.

Scarlet Liu, a 30-year-old bachelor, heard that he learned boxing for a few days when he was young, and he has been doing things like stealing fish and shrimps and bullying orphans and widows in the village for so many years, and no one has dared to take care of him.

Now after Chen's father died, he actually set his sights on his 12-year-old sister.

It's a pity that my thin and frail body may not be able to fight against that skinny Liu.
Chen Yi put away his unrealistic thoughts of assassinating him, and knew that the only thing that could change the fate of his family was to learn martial arts by himself as soon as possible.

Of course, there are other ways to do this before:
"Mother, from tomorrow on, I will make some disguises on the little sister's body and face, shall I?"

Mrs. Chen wiped her face and asked, "Like me? Make a fake face? It's okay, I just wronged that girl."

"Mother, don't worry, my little sister is sensible, she will understand. In addition, I will learn martial arts as soon as possible, and then I will let you live a bright and aboveboard life and live a peaceful life of eating meat!"

Chen Yi took the heavy copper coin bag from Mrs. Chen's hand, making a tinkling sound.

Chen Yi's heart was heavy. He knew that this was the more than 100 copper coins that an ordinary family had saved in troubled times for more than ten years while avoiding harsh taxes and protection fees.
Letting him practice martial arts is also the only hope for the three members of the Chen family to live a good life.

It has been 16 years since he came to this world, and Chen Yi has lived in poverty for 16 years. He has not found any way to improve his life except for fishing for a living and practicing good water skills.

Poverty and hunger are his mainstream memories.

Although he has all kinds of ways to get rich in his heart, in troubled times, without force, money is a reminder. He dare not show any special abnormalities at all. life can go on.

This is why Chen is willing to hand over his family fortune to 16-year-old Chen Yi,
This child Chen Yi is smart and mature.

The world is in chaos. After Chen Yi deliberately inquired, the Daze Lake County where they lived belonged to the Yue Kingdom, but it was very far away from the capital.

For more than ten years, there have been seven or eight bands of rebellious bandits in nearby counties and counties. Although they were all suppressed, the bandits died because of the great lake.

Therefore, the control of the government in this area is extremely weak, and the nearby towns have actually been controlled by the Fish and Dragons.

Even in a county farther away, there is a county magistrate on the surface, but it is the surnames who are really in power and speak,

These surnames have one thing in common, that is, they all have high-level warriors.

In this world, force is the most important thing!

And if Chen Yi can go to the martial arts school to learn, even if he only pays a month's tuition, and only learns three moves and two styles, he will have a small status in this fishing village.

At least you can go to a big family in the town to work as a care home, or if you are lucky, you can join a gang and become the bottom.

This is enough to keep the Chen family's mother and daughter safe for half a lifetime.

Chen married into the Chen family, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and after Chen's father died unexpectedly, sending Chen Yi to learn martial arts was her only wish.

"Hold it, this is all our family's belongings, please look carefully, you will go to the martial arts gym in the town at dawn tomorrow, don't go anywhere on the way, you must not be discovered by the monkey master of the gang, do you know?" ?” Chen said earnestly.

Chen Yi nodded heavily.

He lay on the kang with his money bag on his pillow and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking about a fan-shaped jade tablet that was almost 99% lit up in the back of his mind, and silently said:

"It's been 16 years, you've been shining one point every day, and you're finally lighting up all of yourself. I don't know what power this little jade token of yours has. You should hurry up and manifest!"

The next day, the sun just appeared on the lake.

Chen Yi had already walked more than ten miles around the lake, and came to the door of the martial arts hall in the lakeside town on the other side.

At this time, there was already a group of "hey, ha" people practicing their fists and kicks.

After knocking on the door, a tall man with strong muscles opened the door and looked at Chen Yi: "What are you doing?"

"I'm here to practice martial arts." Chen Yi replied holding the oilcloth bag.

The man looked Chen Yi up and down several times, shook his head imperceptibly, and then said:
"2 taels of silver to study for a month, have you brought the money?"

"Here, here are 200 copper coins."

"Come in with me."

"Master, this kid is here to learn martial arts."

Under the eaves directly behind the martial arts field, a man with frost-haired hair lying on a rocking chair opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, he stared at Chen Yimeng twice, then closed his eyes again, and said casually:
"Take the money, explain the rules to him, and let Yunhu teach him how to stand."

"Yes! Come with me."

Chen Yi followed the strong young man who opened the door, and he didn't say a word to the martial arts master from the beginning to the end.

"Boy, our martial arts school is called Iron Fist Gate, and we practice iron wire fist. You pay money to practice martial arts here, and you are considered a registered disciple. The rules are that you can't deceive masters and destroy ancestors, and you can't spread martial arts outside. You will understand the rest after a long time. up.

This is Junior Brother Yunhu, you should learn to stand with him first. "

As the burly young man said, he threw Chen Yi to a boy who seemed to be about the same age as Chen Yi.

The young man's beard was still young, but some yellow calluses had grown on his fists, and there seemed to be a kind of charm in his standing.

Seeing Chen Yi, Yunhu asked casually:

"Master, did you feel the bones for you?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "No."

"How many tonic decoctions did you buy from Third Senior Brother?"

Chen Yi still shook his head: "I haven't bought it yet."

The young man understood, then he casually pointed to a few standing young men in the corner and said:
"Go there and stand upright. From now on, you will stand there for an hour every day, and arrange the rest of the time by yourself. I will tell you the essentials of standing upright and the simple breathing method later."

Chen Yi had a bad premonition in his heart. The teacher sat there and looked at him without touching his bones. At the same time, he didn't hear that anyone asked him to buy nourishing soup.

This is clearly because he feels that he is not this kind of material, and there is no need to promote the decoction.

Even Yunhu, a young man of the same age as me, said a few words casually, and didn't even say when I would come to practice boxing with him.

"Senior Brother Yunhu, am I just standing up? When can I learn boxing with everyone?"

Chen Yi asked.

"You?" Yunhu glanced at Chen Yi, shook his head and sighed: "Let's stand for a few months and then talk about it. If you can hold your blood, then talk about learning boxing, otherwise"

He didn't say the whole thing, but Chen Yi already knew in his heart that he should have passed through multiple judgments unconsciously, and was considered to have no talent, so he couldn't take the step of controlling his blood.

In the corner, Chen Yi learned the poses pointed out by Yunhu, and after being corrected by him in a few movements, he stood behind a thin young man and began to stand.

His legs were slightly bent, his feet were uneven, and his hands were placed in front of his chest, trying to comprehend the alternating long and short breathing method taught by Yunhu.

As a result, within a quarter of an hour, he felt his legs were so sore, he could no longer hold on to the static posture, and began to straighten up and move around.

"Hey, new guy, what's his name?" A young man in a brand new short jacket in front looked back at Chen Yi.

"Chen Yi."

"Tsk tsk, you're not good at it, the first time you didn't hold on for a quarter of an hour, it should be because you have no hope of holding your breath within three months.

Hehe, I was not much stronger than you for the first time, but my father bought me ten doses of tonic soup, and it has only been over a month now, and I can already stand for half an hour!

According to my master, in another month, I will almost be able to hold my energy and blood, and I can formally practice boxing. "

"Wow, then you are really good! What's your name, and what's the price of this soup?" Chen Yi asked calmly.

"My name is Wang Xiaohu. This decoction costs one tael of silver, hehehe!" Wang Xiaohu looked around, obviously, among the dozen or so teenagers in this row, he was the only one who could do this. Drink this potion.

"Besides, work hard, kid. If you can practice like me and stick to standing for half an hour, then you will be eligible to be a nursing home in my house, and you will be well fed by then!"

As Wang Xiaohu said to Chen Yi, the other teenagers looked at Chen Yi vigilantly, as if they were afraid that Chen Yi's talent would rob Wang's nursing home with them.

Chen Yi was amused in his heart, but he pretended to be an ignorant rural boy, and asked a few things that he cared about in various stupid questions, almost knowing a lot about the martial arts of this Iron Fist School .

Only those who can hold their qi and blood within half a year are eligible to learn boxing.

Only those who can refine qi and blood into bright energy within one year are eligible to become formal disciples, and only then can they learn the true teachings.

As for the difficulty of this, it is obvious that the ten or so teenagers who stand on their feet are useless, but that Wang Xiaohu has two potions every month to make up, and he is lucky enough to almost touch the threshold of learning boxing.

Martial arts in this world place great emphasis on physical talent.

Then, Chen Yi continued to stand up, trying to feel the breathing method of one long and three short, and began to ponder in his heart how to change the current plight of martial arts through the high-quality education in his previous life.

In this life, he is ten times more serious about practicing martial arts than in the previous life's college entrance examination!
It was just over an hour later, and he rested four or five times in the middle, until finally his legs became weak when he was in the posture of Zhuanggong, and he could no longer stand up.
He knew his limit was reached.

It seems that Yunhu understands the limits of ordinary people when he said that he was allowed to stand for an hour every day.

Except for Wang Xiaohu who was still insisting, all the teenagers who stood up were scattered.

It took Chen Yi nearly two hours to walk the dirt road of more than ten miles and return home.

Before his mother and sister came back from the fish delivery, Chen Yi drank two scoops of water at home, and then sat in the room to relax his leg muscles.

At this time, the fan-shaped jade tablet in his mind suddenly burst into light. Chen Yi's heart moved, and after moving his mind to it, he suddenly found that the jade tablet turned into a small door.
Chen Yi mentally pushed open the jade door in his mind, and there was a magnificent world inside!

In the blue sky, there are occasional strange-shaped birds passing by,
Below is the endless Daze, and the end cannot be seen in the distance, and it is blocked by the rising fog.
The waves on the lake are calm, and there are countless fishing boats scattered about.

The camera zoomed in quickly, and Chen Yi's thoughts were focused on an unmanned boat floating on the lake. Looking carefully, the items on the boat seemed to have been exposed to the sun for a long time, and it was probably a boat that no one had used for a long time.

Chen Yi had an intuition that he could appear on this boat with just a thought.

"Is my golden finger the world?"

Chen Yi's heart was pounding, and finally thinking of the current situation, it seemed that there was no way to retreat, and it seemed that there was not much danger on the other side.

He gritted his teeth and was cruel, let's go!

The next moment, he was directly in that cabin.

As soon as he stood still, Chen Yi took a deep breath, and his spirit was shaken, from his lungs to his heart, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable!
He widened his eyes in astonishment: the air here? ! !
