I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

However, Shan Min was not always separated from Shan Ju. When the Dragon Boat Festival, New Year's Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival were approaching, he would return to the Shan family.

Shan Juren said this, and Wei Tu guessed that it might be a letter from Shan Min, which would come back in the next few days.

…

Finished the apprenticeship ceremony.

Shan Wuju's attitude towards Wei Tu's teaching did not change much. It was still the same as before, but when he spoke, his tone was softer than before.

There is no rush like before.

Half a month later.

After Wei Tu's archery skills had greatly improved, Shan Wuju led Wei Tu into his living room.

Shan Wuju asked the maid in the house to retreat, then bent down and pried open a green brick under the altar table, and took out a seven-inch-long mahogany box from under the green brick.

"You have health-preserving skills at your side. It is enough to practice martial arts and improve your body."

"But a warrior must not only have a good figure, but also know how to kill."

Shan Wuju glanced at Wei Tu, with emotion in his eyes, and said in a condensed voice.

In fact, he got a big advantage by taking Wei Tu as his disciple.

Wei Tu has achieved great success in health-preserving skills, and is already familiar with the thirty-two postures of "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qigong". Although these thirty-two postures are only basic postures, they are enough to build the foundation of his martial arts. .

That is to say.

Before becoming his disciple, Wei Tu's martial arts foundation was already solid.

What's bad is just the fighting method.

These martial arts and fighting methods, when put into practice, are archery, boxing, swordsmanship...

"Lung stance is the foundation of archery and boxing. You have practiced archery this month and unintentionally learned a small part of my boxing."

Shan Wuju said slowly.

After finishing speaking, Shan Wuju opened the mahogany box in his hand, took out a yellowed book, and handed it to Wei Tu.

"This is the fist formula of "Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist", and it is also the foundation of our martial arts. Only after you have mastered "Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist" can you continue to the next step of sword practice."

"I don't have high demands on you. You can practice the tiger-shaped boxing in a month."

"At that time, I will pass on some sword techniques related to Tiger Shape Fist. When it comes to the "Knife Dance" exam, if you have practiced it well, you will be able to get the second grade in the Dao Exam with less effort."

"Class B in the Dao Test?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes lit up.

The martial arts examination, like the civil examination, is divided into county examination, government examination, Tao examination and rural examination.

After passing the county and government examinations, one only has the status of a Wu Tong Sheng. Wu Tong Sheng is not a meritorious title, but the qualification to take the Taoist examination.

Only after passing the Taoist examination and achieving good results can one obtain the title of "Wu Xiucai".

In the rural examination, it is the title of "Martial Arts Examination Person".

At this moment, Shan Wuju said that if he practiced some sword skills, he would have a chance to obtain the second grade of "Dancing with Swordsman" in the Taoist Examination.

The Grade B grade is really not low.

If you get a B grade in all subjects in the Taoist examination, and if your level is lower in the current martial arts examination, you can still win the title of a martial arts scholar.

"Thank you, Master." Wei Tu looked grateful, took the yellowed book with both hands, and bowed deeply to Shan Wuju.

"Go practice."

Shan Wuju smiled happily, patted Wei Tu on the shoulder, waved his hand, and signaled Wei Tu to leave.

"Master, wait a moment."

"Disciple, there is one thing I don't quite understand."

When Wei Tu walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around, bowed to Shan Wu again and said.

"What's the matter?" Shan Wuju looked surprised when he saw Wei Tu acting like this.

After spending several months together, he already knew Wei Tu's character very well. He knew that Wei Tu, his apprentice, was very polite and even a little respectful.

——She was very economical in using the vegetable oil for the oil lamp in the wing, as well as paper and ink. When she ran out, she didn’t go to the maid to ask for it, but went to the town to buy it at her own expense.

It would be wrong to say that Wei Tu didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with him... When encountering problems with military strategy or riding and shooting, Wei Tu would always come to him frequently to consult his master without hesitation.

The maid in the house refueled the lamps and replenished the paper and ink in the wing, but she did not refuse.

Later, Shan Wuju figured out that the reason why Wei Tu acted like this was because he had been a poor man for a long time and knew how to behave, so that he would not be looked down upon by others.

At this moment, he had just handed the boxing book to Wei Tu. It stands to reason that this apprentice with a more respectful personality would not turn around and ask questions, but would silently study the boxing manual and practice the pile skills.

"Master, do you know the state of sensing qi? Disciple... read the preface of "Turtle Breath Nourishing Qi Gong", it mentioned..."

At this time, Wei Tu expressed the questions he had been harboring for a long time.

After becoming a disciple of Shan Wuju, he originally thought that Shan Wuju would mention "the realm of feeling Qi" in his daily teachings.

But he didn't expect that after several months, he had never heard the words "Qi Sensing Realm" from Shan Juren.

"The state of feeling Qi?"

When Shan Wuju heard this, he was also startled. He did not expect that what Wei Tu asked was actually related to this.

He pondered for a while, then carefully considered his words and said: "Martial arts practice can be divided into internal and external aspects, that is, the difference between internal true skills and external skills."

"The state of sensing Qi is the first small state of cultivation of the inner family's true skills."

"Is this just the first small level of the inner family's true skills?" When Wei Tu heard this, he suddenly felt a lot lonely.

He has been practicing health-preserving skills for so long. According to the "late bloomer" horoscope, he has to practice "nine times a day" for five years before he can enter the state of feeling Qi.

But this is only the first small realm of inner Qi cultivation.

It is so difficult to feel the Qi state.

The next realm... wouldn't it be even more difficult to practice?

"There is no need to belittle yourself." Shan Wuju seemed to understand Wei Tu's thoughts, shook his head and said: "Your health-preserving Kung Fu booklet talks about ways to develop internal strength from the outside to the inside. It does not mean that external Kung Fu is It’s under the internal martial arts.”

"On the contrary, the strong internal force developed by the external master of Kung Fu is, in terms of power, ten strands better than the internal force produced by the internal master's true martial arts!"

Hear this.

Wei Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He also cursed himself for being stupid for not thinking of this.

The health-preserving exercises only include Zhuang Gong, but there is no legendary Neijia true skill that transfers the internal force of the meridians and widens the meridians.

At first glance, it seems that he is not a real insider.

"In addition, generally speaking, internal martial arts masters are far weaker than external martial arts masters."

"Internal martial arts masters who meditate for decades are not as powerful as external martial arts masters who have hammered their bodies for several years."

"Otherwise, all martial arts masters in the world will be internal martial arts masters."

"They also came out on top in the martial arts competition."

Shan Wuju said again.

"But if you can enter the Qi Sensing Realm, it is also good to practice both internal and external training." Shan Wuju pondered for a while and said: "Because of the physical training in the early years, external martial arts practitioners are very brave and fierce, and they are prone to loss of energy and blood, and suffer hidden injuries. , if you can become an internal martial arts master, you can use your internal strength to heal your injuries..."

"The "Tiger and Crane Double Shape Fist" I gave you is the same as your health-preserving skills. As long as you practice it for a long time, you will have the opportunity to develop your internal strength from the outside and inside, and enter the state of feeling Qi."
