Chapter 27： The method of breathing

When the sky was slightly bright, Li Daniu was woken up by a burst of shouts. He removed a smelly foot on his calf, climbed up from the hard bed with difficulty, and then put on his clothes sleepily.

This is a bedroom, belonging to the handyman disciples of the Wudang Sect. The size is about 20 square meters, but the two rectangular Datong shops on the left and right occupy most of the entire room, leaving only one in the middle. A walkway about one meter wide.

Li Daniu followed the other handyman disciples, walked out of the room, and took turns washing in front of several water tanks in the yard.

Although the weather was not cold at this time, and it was even a little hot at noon, but washing with cold water early in the morning still made Li Daniu shiver, and then he didn't feel sleepy at all.

After washing up, a group of handyman disciples walked quickly to the cafeteria, and Li Daniu also tried his best to speed up his pace, because if he was a step slower, he might eat one less steamed bun.

Yes, a steamed bun, and it's not purely steamed white flour, it's the kind of steamed bun mixed with other whole grains.

Li Daniu never thought that one day he would compete with a group of thirteen and fourteen-year-old children because he wanted to eat an extra grain bun. Even, if it weren't for the fact that the Wudang faction pays attention to etiquette and does not allow running when there is nothing to do, Li Daniu believes that he will run wildly.

Even if Li Daniu was a hanging silk before crossing, he would not be short of one or two steamed buns. The reason for this was completely forced out.

These years, the court is not benevolent, there are various natural and man-made disasters, the people are in dire straits, coupled with low productivity, food is definitely a very scarce resource. Unlike the time of the Great Heavenly Dynasty, although frugality was also advocated, due to the increase in productivity, the annual food output of the Great Heavenly Dynasty could not be eaten up at all.

Although the Wudang Mountain where the Wudang School is located is still considered a harmonious place between heaven, earth and people, but they can't stand the environment like this, and the people of the Wudang School all practice martial arts, and all of them eat more than ordinary people. If you can eat it openly, then Wudang pie is not far from bankruptcy.

In the Wudang faction, not to mention the high-level, it is natural that the resources are very abundant. Even the middle-level members of the Wudang Sect, that is, the real disciples, are constantly in charge. After all, they are the future of the Wudang Sect. As for the handyman disciples who are at the bottom, it is different. It is impossible for everyone to be full every meal. Those who are fast will eat more, and those who are slow will be hungry. And Li Daniu belongs to the small group of people who are hungry for every meal.

Because although the handyman disciples are also disciples, their real role is to be handymen. These people have basically been judged that there is no way out for practicing martial arts in this lifetime. Even if they practice vigorously for a lifetime, they are unlikely to become popular in the arena.

Li Daniu is just such a handyman disciple who has no future prospects.

It has been a week since Zhang Cuishan's suicide, and Li Daniu has successfully infiltrated the Wudang faction with the excuse that his benefactor Zhang Cuishan is dead, the world is in chaos and he has nowhere to go.

The reason why he got in so easily is because Li Daniu was originally brought here by Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, and Li Daniu has no merit at all. Even as a modern person, his physical fitness is worse than that of ordinary people. any threat. Moreover, the Wudang faction also lacks slightly older handymen.

There is no way out for the handyman disciples to practice martial arts. Generally, after they become adults, they learn two-handed self-defense and then go down the mountain to find a place to be a farmer or do business. After all, not everyone is willing to be a servant for a lifetime .

When we arrived at the cafeteria, Li Daniu found a seat and just sat down when a large bowl of steamed buns was thrown on the table, along with a small bowl of pickles. Li Daniu was starved for a few days, and now he didn't care about the thirteen or fourteen-year-old children beside him, and started to gobble up without giving in. Li Daniu never thought that one day eating such multigrain steamed buns would feel so sweet.

After eating, Li Daniu touched his stomach which was almost full, smiled happily, and then thought that he was going to learn boxing soon, he was even happier.

Handyman disciples also need to learn martial arts, but they are all basic fist, foot and sword skills, as well as some simple breathing methods. If you want to become a master by relying on these things, your aptitude is definitely at the level against the sky, but if you have this kind of aptitude, which sect will only give you some rubbish?

The handyman disciples have a class every week, and the disciples of the Wudang Seven Heroes take turns to teach martial arts and answer questions. Last night Li Daniu learned that today is the day to teach the exercises, so he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

Not having to do so much work, and learning martial arts, Li Daniu really wants to live every day like this.

The place where the handyman disciples learn kung fu is of course not the Gonggong Palace. After Li Daniu came out of the cafeteria, he followed a group of kids and returned to the place where the handyman disciples lived.

When they arrived at the place, a group of people sat down cross-legged and began to breathe. Li Daniu stood aside, scratching his head, looking a little abrupt, because he didn't know how to do it at all.

Not to mention the rather difficult posture of sitting cross-legged, even the seemingly very simple method of breathing, he doesn't know it either. What's more, he still can't understand at all, just breathing rhythmically, how can he strengthen his body?

When Li Daniu was a little bored waiting, he saw a Taoist boy coming from a distance, and he looked very familiar.

"Li Daniu, why are you standing here and not complaining? I'm not talking about you. You are so old and don't know how to work hard." This Dao Tong was the one who brought Li Daniu in before.

"Um...I won't." Li Daniu replied awkwardly, he also didn't expect that the Taoist boy guarding the gate he met before was actually the apprentice of Mo Shenggu among the Seven Heroes of Wudang.

"You don't know? Didn't my Fifth Martial Uncle teach you?" Dao Tong asked very strangely.

"I'm just a driver, and I'm not Zhang Wuxia's apprentice. How can I have the opportunity to learn martial arts?" Li Daniu also wanted Zhang Cuishan to teach him martial arts, but the two of them only spent more than an hour together, and most of the time Zhang Cuishan was still Sitting in a carriage, how could there be that chance?

"Uh, alright." Daotong didn't think too much about it after all, and said directly, "Since you have decided to become a disciple of my Wudang sect, then it's okay not to learn some martial arts, or don't talk about being ashamed Well, even working in the sect, you can't stand it."

You are teaching me, Li Daniu is eager to learn martial arts, how could he be in the mood to be polite to this boy.

"How about this, I'll take them to punch a few times, and you will make gestures by yourself first, and I will teach you how to get started in a while." Daotong still takes care of Li Daniu. After all, in the past few days, he heard a lot from Li Daniu. Don't make up stories about the rivers and lakes.

"Okay, okay, okay." Of course, Li Daniu couldn't wait for it. In fact, it was only two days ago that he knew that handyman disciples could learn martial arts, and people at the level of Daotong came to teach them in turn. Otherwise, he would have pestered Dao Tong to teach him martial arts while he was making up stories for him.

Li Daniu ran to the side and watched Daotong lead a group of handyman disciples to punch a few times, and then Daotong corrected the handyman disciples' boxing posture. For Daotong, such an entry-level boxing method has already been practiced, and there is no problem at all.

After practicing for about an hour, even if it was over, Dao Tong casually asked a handyman disciple to ask Li Daniu for leave, and let them disperse.

So Li Daniu ran to Daotong under the envious eyes of a group of handyman disciples.

"That's... no problem, right?" Li Daniu was worried that Dao Tong would ask for leave for him. After understanding these few days, Li Daniu also knew that the handyman disciple had a boss who was usually responsible for dividing the work. Li Daniu was worried that he would stay alone If you open a small stove, the bosses of those handyman disciples will wear small shoes.

"What's the problem? Originally, the newly-introduced handyman disciples don't have to work for a few days, and they specialize in learning martial arts." After Dao Tong glanced at Li Daniu in surprise, he said, "This is also to select those with good aptitude. Disciple, but you, probably because you are too old, so you don’t have to try and you know you have no future, so no one will inform you alone.”

Too old? Li Daniu was seriously injured by Dao Tong's knife. When can he be described as too old in his twenties?

"The best age to practice martial arts should be when you are twelve or thirteen years old. You must be twenty years late." Dao Tong took a look at Li Daniu's appearance and concluded.

"I really am not thirty years old this year." Li Daniu dared to swear that he was not over thirty years old, both physically and mentally.

Dao Tong didn't feel embarrassed at his misreading, and continued to hit Li Daniu, saying: "That's not that big of a difference, UU reading and judging by your physique, your bones shouldn't be very good, so ah, your life Don’t even think about becoming a master. But if you study hard, you shouldn’t have any problem building up your body, and it’s not even a problem to defeat three or two small thieves.”

"I heard that there is a kind of martial art called "Washing the Marrow Sutra". As long as you learn it, you can change your bones." It's time to get the secret book of "Marrow Washing Sutra".

"You still know about the Sutra of Washing the Marrow, but you don't have to give any hope." Daotong said with a sneer, "The Sutra of Washing the Marrow is the secret of Shaolin Temple, and only one or two people in each generation can learn it." , It’s like our Wudang School’s "Nine Suns Kung Fu". Except for my master and others who have learned it, no one in the entire Wudang School has read the secret manual of "Nine Suns Kung Fu". Besides, even if you really got the "Nine Suns Kung Fu" You may not be able to practice the secrets of the Sutra of Washing the Marrow, the more advanced the martial arts, the more you need understanding, and understanding is even rarer than root bones. So, you really think too much."

What are you trying to do to me? Or are you going to beat me to death?

"You should hurry up and teach me martial arts." Li Daniu really didn't want to chat with this boy anymore, and if he continued talking, he lost any confidence.

"Okay, then let's start with the method of breathing. You sit cross-legged first, with your five hearts in the sky."

"What is five hearts?"

"It's the top of the head, the palms of the hands, and the hearts of the feet."

Li Daniu worked hard for a long time, but still couldn't put his heart on the sky, and asked embarrassingly: "Is there any way to practice breathing while lying down?"
