The mountain road after Sanyang Village was okay at first, but when it went far, it was rugged and bumpy. A mountain road stretches endlessly and stretches into the distance in the Taihang Mountains. It was really difficult to walk into the middle of the night. I was afraid of slipping and falling into the mountain stream, so I stopped.
At this time, I was really hopeful, and as soon as the day broke, I was impatient to continue on the road. After walking on this mountain road for two full days, the two small villages in the mountains can be seen in the distance.
The two small villages are separated by a mountain, not too far away, the village is not big, each village is about thirty or forty households. Because of the remote location and inconvenient roads, the villagers in the village try their best to be self-sufficient, unless they need necessities such as salt, they will go out once.
Despite the miserable life, the small village is almost isolated from the world, and the villagers’ livelihoods are simple. After I entered the village, I looked for two children who were playing and asked them where the blacksmith in the village was. The two children immediately took me and ran. Arrived at the far north of the village.
"There is the blacksmith's house." A child pointed forward.
I looked around and found that the northernmost part of the village was a slightly higher slope. Under the slope, there were a few huts. The two villages are just such a blacksmith, who usually repairs pots and pans, and often builds tools such as shovels and plows.
I sent the two children away and went to the blacksmith's house by myself. Before I got close, I heard a ping-pong-pong-pong iron.
I haven't seen a blacksmith, but I can imagine that ironing is a laborious task. Most of this blacksmith is strong and has amazing powers.
The courtyard door of the small courtyard was open. I walked in and stretched my head out of the small iron workshop to take a look. When I saw it, I felt surprised.
There was only one person in the workshop, an old man, short and thin, with arms and legs like sticks.
However, it was such a thin old man who held a huge hammer, which flew up and down, as light as nothing in his hand.
At this time, the old man saw me, probably because of my face, not from the village. The old man glanced twice and said, "Here?"
Although the others are long and thin, their voices are full of confidence, and they speak like a big bell.
Moreover, when he spoke, I was a little surprised. Listening to his tone, it seemed that I knew I was coming.
"Is it the old stone blacksmith?"
"Yes, wait outside." Lao Shi pointed to the outside and said, "There is tea on the small table. If you are thirsty, drink it by yourself. I will finish my work first."
I answered, and sat down at the table in the small courtyard, muttering constantly in my heart. Is there such a way that Wei Dao and Lao Shi are so far apart? Otherwise, how could Lao Shi know that I am coming
After waiting for about a quarter and a half, Lao Shi finished his work, walked out of the workshop, sat next to me, took the ocean bowl, and drank a bowl of water.
"Old man..."
"Don't be old man, don't listen, just call me Lao Shi." Lao Shi put down the bowl, poured another bowl of water, and said: "If you are hungry, there is leftovers over there, eat it yourself."
"Not hungry, that old... Old Shi, do you know I'm coming?"
"do not know."
"That… "
"I don't know you are coming, but you are coming
, I know what you are here for. "Lao Shi pointed to the top of my head, and said: "Your longevity seal is almost unstoppable. "
"Why can't it be blocked?" I subconsciously touched the top of my head, and my heart trembled.
"The longevity seal is not a mortal thing. After a long time, it will naturally be exposed." Lao Shi seemed to speak crisply, without any muddling: "Did Wei Dao call you?"
"He called me here."
"That old guy, is in good health?"
"It's so good, I can drink and fight with people."
"That's fine." Lao Shi grinned and said: "He is trying to be free, but he has stuffed you here."
I think that Wei Dao asked me to come to Lao Shi. It may not be a temporary motive. From Lao Shi's words, I can hear that this may have been discussed with Wei Dao before.
"Wei Dao called you to come, and you are here. He may have told you some things, but he didn't say it thoroughly." Lao Shi continued, "I just remind you first. There is no shortcut in this world. You can go. Others have worked hard for ten or twenty years before they can practice good kung fu. If you don't have that much time, you will have to endure more hardships than others."
"These, Mr. Wei Dao told me, I am willing to endure hardship, and I am not afraid to endure hardship."
"It's not that simple, let me put the words here first. If you can't bear the hardship and want to leave halfway, I won't stop you."
I felt that Lao Shi looked down on me a little bit. He just got here and didn't do anything. He thought I couldn't bear the hardship. I didn't argue with him so much, but I secretly made up my mind that I can eat all the hardships, and I can never give up halfway.
"Also, the longevity seal on your head is a good thing, but it is also a terrible thing." Lao Shi said: "If you can really suffer, wait for a long time in the future, and your skills will become more important. Most of it will attract the sky. Fine."
"Heaven's Punishment?" My head buzzed suddenly. I had witnessed the Heavenly Punishment. The fierce thunder kept smashing it down. If it was really smashed on the body, even an iron man couldn't stand it.
"Scared?"
"Not afraid..."
"Just don't be afraid, I'll tell you everything." Lao Shi changed his tone and said: "But remember that if you eat more hardship than others, you will gain more than others."
"I understand the truth."
"Okay, let's live here. The house over there has been unoccupied. You clean it up by yourself. I still have a few jobs in my hands. I have to pay for it. I have to do it for them." Lao Shi He stood up and walked to the small workshop again: "After finishing these few tasks, I won't pick it up for the time being."
I cleaned the hut by myself, and then took a circle around the yard to familiarize myself with the environment. The place where the old stone lives is already at the northernmost part of the village, and then heading north, there is another endless mountain. Anyway, the village is so big and the terrain is not complicated. After turning around, I basically remembered it in my heart.
Lao Shi was busy with work and wanted to finish his work first. In the evening, I made some leftovers by myself. It wasn't until the night was getting dark that Lao Shi finished all his work.
Taking advantage of his washing hands and face, I went to the workshop and tried to take the iron hammer, which was very heavy, estimated to be 40 or 50 catties.
I was stunned secretly, I really couldn’t see where the skinny old stone came from so much strength.
Such a heavy hammer can actually fly up and down.
When Lao Shi was eating, he chatted with me for a while, but he did not ask me where I came from. After chatting for a few words, he asked: "I haven't been out of the mountain for a long time, hasn't the human road been out of the rivers and lakes?"
"It's coming out, and there is the universe, all of them come out together."
"It's out, it's really out..." Lao Shi glanced towards the direction outside the mountain. In those eyes, there seemed to be a complicated gaze: "The dust returns to the dust, the soil returns to the soil. What should come is always Coming."
I can feel that Lao Shi is definitely not an ordinary blacksmith. When it comes to the Road of the World and the Road of Universe, Lao Shi knows what's going on. I wanted to take the opportunity to ask him, but Lao Shi didn't say anything serious. After the question was over, he chatted with gossip.
After eating, Lao Shi cleaned up the dishes and told me to go to rest. I just want to know when will I officially start learning art.
"Are you in a hurry to develop your skills?" Lao Shi grinned: "Tomorrow, it will start tomorrow."
"Okay!" I was overjoyed, ran back to my hut, fell asleep, just to keep my spirits up, and to start my academic career the next day.
Maybe it was because I was walking too eagerly on the way to find Old Stone, so I was very sleepy and exhausted, so I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. The village is very peaceful here, and I didn't even dream of it all night.
When I fell asleep, I suddenly felt that there was something wrong with my two arms. After waking up from my sleep, I opened my eyes and saw the old stone standing by the bed, with rope tied my hands to the head of the bed.
"Woke up?"
"Lao Shi, what are you... what is this..." I didn't know what he was going to do, so I made a lot of money, but the rope on his wrist was so strong that I couldn't get it away: "What are you doing with me tied up."
"Don't move." Lao Shi followed and tied my two legs. I must be struggling, but his two skinny arms, like sticks, glowed with endless power, so I didn't have There was room for struggling. Soon, my hands and feet were tied to the vagina, and I couldn't move.
"Old Shi, what the hell is this going to do!"
"Wei Dao asked you to come to me. I can't teach you anything else, but I can only teach you how to practice Qi." Lao Shi said, "You will find someone else to teach you those fancy fistwork skills in the future. In fact, the fancywork is useless. "
While speaking, Lao Shi took a stone from the ground as a floor tile, walked to the door of the house, and hit the stone with a punch.
The stone was about two inches thick, but it was smashed immediately after being smashed by the old stone. Lao Shi was completely fine, clapped his hands, and walked back and said: "I passed this fist, and the other party was just about to be shattered. I was stupid by nature and didn't learn much. The master told me back then. , Break ten directions with one force, as long as your strength is enough, everything is vain."
"I know this." I watched the old stone smash the stones with a punch, and I was fascinated. As he said, in the face of this unmatched power, all the messy doorways are empty and can't stand it. Fist and kill.
"My strength comes from the first weather." Lao Shi said: "The first weather, everyone has it, it was brought from the mother's womb, but the first weather on the body is very small, and the age is slightly older. The first weather is astigmatized, and I will teach you to retrain the first weather that has disappeared."
"Practice, but what do you tie me up for?"
"bloodletting."
