Cao Thief

Chapter 30 Dragon Bone Search (23) [-]
The great cold has come, and people set up six cattle and put them in the fields outside the city, and have respectfully sent the great cold away.After the great cold, it is the beginning of spring, and it is also the time when all things sprout.The custom of Litu cattle is related to the agricultural timing at that time.It was also a very important sacrificial activity at that time.

Deng Ji's family also has a field, but they hire people to cultivate it on weekdays.

Therefore, when Li Tuniu was established, Deng Ji not only had to participate, but also played a major role.

As his status in the county government improved, Deng Ji gradually gained the right to speak in Deng Village.This year's Lituniu, he was ranked third, which also shows his current status in Dengcun.In later generations, the custom of standing up cattle has long been lost, and Cao Peng has never seen it.

So on this day, he got up early in the morning, didn't even go to practice, and went to Lituniu with Deng Ji.

After the earth cows are set up, there will be a big dinner in Deng Village.

There are also relevant records in "Historical Records-Almanac", that when people die at the age of one, they will eat and drink for a while to generate yang energy, so it is called the first year of life.

According to later generations, it is "Xiao Nian"!
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people celebrated the New Year with a dinner.Drink to respect the elders, and write articles to thank the master.

Generally speaking, the person who writes the article must be a big shot in the village.

In the past, when Dengcun wrote articles, most of them were written by the old man himself.But this year, it was replaced by Deng Ji...

After the dinner, Cao Peng returned home.

After reading for a while, under Deng Ji's urging, I practiced calligraphy for a while, and then returned to my room.

Sitting on the couch, he spread a few sheets of hemp paper on the table, frowning and thinking.What was drawn on the hemp paper was the shape of a two-way piston bellows.

Cao Peng can only draw a figure based on his own memory.

But he didn't know how to deal with the internal structure of the bellows...

This thing can't be easily shown to others, otherwise there will be big trouble.After all, the two-way piston bellows only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than 1000 years since the present.If this thing is leaked, what will happen, Cao Peng can't tell.But there is one thing, if he can't bring himself enough benefits, he will never take out this bellows... You know, this is a treasure.

Xu Shi drank two bowls of turbid wine during the dinner, so that his mind was a little dizzy.

Cao Peng couldn't think of any results, so he hastily collected the drawings and fell asleep.

This sleep until the next day will be bright.

The cold winter will pass, and Meng Chun will come...

There is a mist outside the house, which is the phenomenon of alternation of yin and yang.

"Ah Fu, wake up!"

Wang Mai knocked on the door and woke Cao Peng from his sleep.

Rubbing his eyes, he sat up on the bed.

There is a bit of anger in this big mansion now.After Wang Meng came back, he lived with Wang Mai in the wing room in the front yard; Deng Ji and his wife occupied one row of houses, while Cao Ji, his wife and Cao Peng occupied another row of houses.Cao Peng's room is adjacent to the central hall, with the study in the middle, and beyond that, the bedroom of Cao Ji and his wife.The reason for this arrangement is also because Wang Mai would look for Cao Peng every day.In this way, it is convenient for Wang Mai to wake up Cao Peng, and it will not disturb Cao Ji and his wife.

Since Wang Meng came back with two horses, Wang Mai has been working harder and harder!

He volunteered to take care of the horses, tidying the stables and grooming the horses.Every morning, I would take the horse for a walk on the river beach.In this way, in addition to the normal practice, Wang Mai took the initiative to add a task.

Practice horsemanship!

Even Cao Peng was pulled in by him to practice riding together.

The two horses brought back by Wang Meng are really nothing in the eyes of experts.

These two horses are old horses eliminated from the army!Compared with the mount that Wang Meng rode back then, it was really not at the same level.

But Wang Meng said that this old horse is most suitable for the current situation of Wang Mai and Cao Peng.

The temperament is very docile, and can understand some simple passwords.For beginners, this old horse is undoubtedly the most suitable.Cao Peng tried it once, and felt that Wang Meng was right.Now that they have just started to learn riding skills, they are really not suitable for any BMW horse.

After getting dressed, he grabbed the leather pouch next to the pillow.

There are some odds and ends inside, which are mainly used for practicing.

"Today you take Dahei for a walk, and I will take Dahua."

Dahei and Dahua are the names of two horses.

Because one is a dark horse and the other is a colorful horse, Wang Mai directly named them these two names.

Cao Peng didn't care about Dahei or Dahua, anyway, the two horses were very docile, and they looked the same when walking.The two of them led the horse from the stable, then went out the gate, and walked slowly around the peach forest.They walked faster and faster, and then began to run... The two horses also followed spiritually. At first, they took small steps, and later, as Cao Peng and the two started to run, their steps also accelerated.

Running to the river beach, both Cao Peng and Wang Mai finished warming up and got on their horses at the same time.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, war horses were not equipped with double stirrups and high saddles, so when riding a horse, they mostly relied on their legs to fix the horse.

This requires a strong waist and abdominal strength, and requires a certain degree of flexibility.

If it was a month earlier, Cao Peng really couldn't do it.

Now...he can barely sit on the horse and canter slowly.In contrast, Wang Mai has made great progress and can gallop on horseback.

It has been almost 20 days since I came to Dengcun!
Cao Peng could feel that his body was slowly getting stronger...

After riding for a while, Cao Peng stopped.He dropped the reins, stood on the embankment, and started punching.It's a bit strange today, there is no one on the other side of the river.A few days ago, the old man who appeared on the other side of the river every day did not come today.This also made Cao Peng somewhat uncomfortable.

After finishing a set of boxing, he practiced Baduanjin as usual.

After Ba Duan Jin practiced, the old man still didn't show up!

Maybe, he has something to do today, so he won't come?Cao Peng didn't know why he missed the old man all of a sudden.Maybe it's because I'm used to watching the old people, so suddenly there is no one, and I feel uncomfortable for a while.This man is a bit of a bitch.

I used to feel uncomfortable being watched by others, but now that no one is watching, I still feel uncomfortable.

Cao Peng adjusted his mood and continued to practice with Wang Mai.

"Brother Hutou, what I want to teach you today is called 'Searching Bones in the Shape of a Dragon'."

Wang Mai was sweating profusely from the practice, and he was only wearing a vest-like underwear called a half-arm.

He listened attentively to Cao Peng's explanation and raised questions from time to time.

"Fa Jin, emphasizes bone strength, also known as the strength of kidney essence, innate strength... In fact, to put it bluntly, this dragon-shaped bone contains two elements.

One, the hips... oh, that's where it's at. "

As Cao Peng said, he went to support Wang Mai's lumbar spine and the muscles on his pelvis.

In traditional martial arts, this position is called Dantian, also known as Zhongjie.

"The hips can exert strength, and the waist and hips can open and close, which is one of them; second, the Gujiajin meridian of the whole body is penetrated... Here, it is the dantian force that I mentioned to you two days ago, which can reach all parts of the body , without any internal friction, it is called the 'strength path' through."

Cao Peng hasn't practiced to that level yet, so naturally it is impossible to exert energy.

He and Wang Mai couldn't explain the profound truth, so they had to use the simplest way to teach.

"You see, we usually can't feel the muscles in the dantian area...unless you sprained your waist. But after practicing, you can feel the strongest strength contained in these deadliest joints in your body This kind of power is called the power of the original beast, the real power of instinct... Brother Hutou, if you can strengthen your dantian by practicing boxing, you can increase your strength by at least two hundred catties...

That said, you might not be able to imagine it.

Well, you hunted with your uncle, and you must have seen tigers and leopards when they were hunting.The speed, strength and coordination of wild beasts when hunting are all activated from these parts.With this kind of strength as the backing, in the future when fighting on the battlefield, he will definitely be able to take the head of the general. "

Wang Mai listened carefully and followed Cao Peng to make various actions from time to time.

Those eyes were shining brightly, nodding repeatedly...

"Practice martial arts and boxing, talk about the two spirits of dragon and tiger.

You may not have seen a dragon, but you must have seen a tiger.Isn't the strongest part of a tiger its spine, waist and hips?With the power of a dragon and a tiger, how can you not be courageous. "

While speaking, Cao Peng suddenly stamped his feet and twisted his hips, and punched out with a huff.

Wang Meng could see clearly from the side, and couldn't help shouting: "Good punch!"

To be honest, Cao Peng's punch didn't have much power.But it produced a ferocious air, which made people feel palpitations...

But after punching out, his whole body seemed to lose strength.

After all, this body hasn't been well trained, imitating such a punch in the previous life, almost exhausted all the energy.

Wang Mai also knew about Cao Peng's situation, so he hurriedly said, "Ah Fu, take a break. You just said so much, I can't comprehend it all at once... Take a rest, I can figure it out by myself... Well, the dragon shape Bone searching, dragon and tiger spirit...does it look like this?"

Wang Mai was talking, imitating Cao Peng's appearance just now, stamping his foot and punching out.

In terms of strength, his punch is much more powerful than Cao Peng's punch just now.But Wang Mai himself could feel that his punch did not have the momentum of Cao Peng just now.

"Ah Fu, I really regret it now!"

"Regret what?"

"When that old alchemist was in Zhongyang Town, why didn't I learn from him?

Alas, if I knew he had such a great ability, I would learn from him in everything.Thinking about it now, I really want to regret it to death! "

Even if you learn it, you can't learn it.

These things are the essence summed up by the martial arts masters of later generations, and the old alchemists of this era probably don't understand it.

Cao Peng could only nod awkwardly.

"Fate... Brother Hutou, fate!"

Wang Mai, looking very frustrated!
