Chapter 127: Tiger and Leopard Bones Training (Alliance Leader Extra: Six Years Alone)
After renting the yard and having a place to stay, everyone's tension relaxed a little.
After giving some instructions, Zhao Ge took Shouhou for a stroll, saying that they were going to find a bathhouse to take a bath and change clothes. As Rong Niang and Zhao Qian were girls, it was not convenient for them to go to the bathhouse, so they found a side room, boiled a pot of hot water, and prepared to wash up in the room.
They had been running around for many days and were covered in dust, dirt, and their bodies smelled smelly and sour, and there was also a whiff of blood. They had been busy escaping so they had not taken care of these things before, but now that they were relieved, they naturally wanted to take care of themselves.
The studio has been open for many years, and both Zhao Ge and his disciples are clean people.
During this time, the two butchers had already slaughtered two yellow sheep in the kitchen. According to the rules, the sheep's head and offal belonged to the butchers, which was just enough to pay their wages. The rest were chopped into large pieces, put into a pot with clear water and some salt and stewed. However, the warriors not only wanted to eat the meat, but also use it as a tonic.
Rong Niang took some time to go to the kitchen and sprinkled a packet of tonic medicine in it. She also instructed the two people who were killing the sheep to watch the heat and not to lift the lid to prevent the medicinal aroma from escaping.
The two butchers naturally did not dare to offend the warrior and responded immediately.
But far from being dissatisfied, they were very happy. After all, this job was a big deal for them. They could slaughter dozens of sheep, which was a rare opportunity under normal circumstances. Not only could they eat mutton offal for a while, they could also take some offal to sell. The money they earned was enough to cover their wages for half a year.
In less than a month, I can earn half a year's money. Even if you deduct the commission from the dental clinic, it's still incredible.
So not only did they not cheat, but they worked extra hard.
While everyone was resting, Li Yi was staring at the muntjac locked in a cage in the middle of the yard.
This is a male deer.
But the deer's antlers were gone, probably taken away by someone, and there were wounds all over its body, some of which were even festering. Although it was a mountain delicacy that had become a spirit, the old deer was old and weak, and had been locked up for many days without food or water, so it was not in good condition. If it could not be tamed or kept alive today, then tomorrow we would have to slaughter it and eat its meat as the master had said.
Li Yi's approach made the skin and flesh of the Eight Treasures Deer tremble.
This way of shaking is very similar to when he was training his skin.
It can be seen that this deer also has the ability to train its skin, and it is really not easy to catch it in the mountains and forests.
At this moment, Li Yi just raised his hand and slapped it down. With the burst of strong energy, the rough wooden cage was immediately broken into pieces, releasing the old deer.
"I heard from Zhao Qian that wild delicacies have spirits and cannot be treated as ordinary beasts. I think you should understand what I am saying. Let's have a good talk. How about this: I will heal your wounds and feed you, and you will kowtow to me and acknowledge me as your master? If you refuse, you will be stewed into meat tomorrow. What a pity."
Li Yi squatted in front of Babaolu and began to persuade him.
Although the Eight Treasure Deer was trembling with fear after smelling the scent of the Qionglong skin, its eyes were like those of a stubborn old man who refused to bow his head and surrender. It just lay on the ground with its eyes closed, not looking at Li Yi.
"It's okay if you don't want to kowtow to me. Then you can be my little brother and I'll be your big brother. How about I protect you from now on? This way you won't be bullied or eaten by others. I can also help you improve your food. Then you can continue to practice, and maybe you can regain your youth and live a few more years."
Li Yi continued to persuade and raised the stakes.
These words seemed somewhat tempting. The eight-treasure deer slightly opened its eyes and looked at Li Yi, as if it was thinking and hesitating like a human.
Sure enough, the mountain delicacies are indeed intelligent and can understand human language.
Seeing that there seemed to be hope, Li Yi immediately brought another bottle of golden nutrient solution, then filled a bottle cap and handed it over: "After drinking this cup of nutrient solution, it will be like paying homage to him and acknowledging him as your big brother."
The eight-treasure deer moved its nose and sniffed the golden nutrient solution.
Although it didn't know what this thing was, it was very tempting to it, and its body instinctively wanted to lick it, just like it had come across a precious medicine in the mountains, giving it an inexplicable impulse.
Babaolu was still alert and stared at Li Yi again.
"The road is right in front of you. It's up to you to choose." Li Yi said with a smile.
Perhaps the scent of Li Yi's dragon skin frightened the Eight Treasure Deer, or perhaps the conditions offered by Li Yi moved it, or perhaps the Eight Treasure Deer wanted to survive and didn't want to be stewed and eaten. In short, after struggling and hesitating for a moment, the Eight Treasure Deer gave in, and began to stick out its tongue and lick the small bowl of golden nutrient solution in front of it.
This was the first time the Babao deer had eaten since being captured.
After tasting the flavor, the hunger was aroused and the deer licked more vigorously. In a short while, the bowl of golden nutrient solution was eaten up.
After finishing the meal, Babaolu still felt unsatisfied, so he looked up at Li Yi again. There was no hatred in his eyes anymore, only a pleading look.
It is hungry and old, and needs golden nutrient solution to nourish and heal its wounds.
Seeing this, Li Yi decided to be more generous. He went to find a porcelain bowl and poured a full bowl of the Eight Treasure Deer. Even he would feel full after eating this amount, so it was probably enough to feed the old deer.
really.
Seeing the nutrient solution in front of it, the eight-treasure deer immediately swallowed it in big gulps.
As it ate, the deer gradually regained strength. It no longer sat on the ground, but slowly stood up. Although its whole body was still shaking uncontrollably, it was shaking more violently than before.
"What a big deer! Its size is comparable to that of an ordinary horse. It is indeed a powerful alien species. It's a pity that it is too thin, otherwise it could be used as a mount." Li Yi shook his head when he saw the skinny and scarred body of the eight-treasure deer.
I can only try to take care of it slowly and see if I can bring it back.
However, the master was very careful with his money. Since he had asked Li Yi to tame and raise the deer, he would naturally not do business at a loss. It was just that the value of the Eight Treasure Deer had not yet been revealed. Once it recovered from its injuries and was taken to the mountains, he would surely make a fortune.
Babaolu seemed to have underestimated the effectiveness of the golden nutrient solution.
It stopped eating after eating less than half a bowl, obviously because it was too full. However, it was reluctant to waste such a precious thing, so it lay down again and protected the half bowl of nutrient solution in front of itself.
When Li Yi saw the old deer like this, he knew that it had decided to live. This was good. As long as it didn't want to die, it would probably succeed if it tempered its temper. After a while, Master Zhao Ge came back with the skinny monkey.
They changed into new clothes, took a clean bath, and became more cautious. They walked with dignity and regained their former warrior demeanor.
"Meng De, how is the training of the Eight Treasures Deer going?" Zhao Ge asked as soon as he came in.
"Master, it has already eaten. I wonder if it can be considered tamed." Li Yi said.
Zhao Ge saw the golden nutrient solution in front of the Eight Treasures Deer and felt a little distressed, but he still nodded and said, "That's it. Taming wild delicacies is different from taming other wild beasts. If it can eat your first bite of food, it will be recognized as its master. Otherwise, it will not eat even a little bit of charity from others even if it starves to death. If this deer had not been delivered to us today, it would have starved to death in less than three days."
As he spoke, he circled around the Eight Treasure Deer, looked at it, and after examining it for a moment, he began to praise it: "What a good skeleton. If such a sturdy skeleton is raised, it will be extremely strong. I estimate that it was a king deer when it was young. But I don't know how many good things I have to feed it before it is raised. If we can take back the martial arts hall, defeat the Han and Jin families, and occupy Sanyang City alone, raising a wild delicacy is not a big deal. But now, we are not yet powerful, and our family resources are thin. We can't afford to feed this wild delicacy."
"Meng De, use the medicine you have sparingly to feed it. It won't starve to death, but it will be fine if it keeps alive."
Looking at the large bowl of golden nutrient solution that had not been finished, Zhao Ge could only secretly curse that this beast had gotten a good deal. It was a good thing that Li Yi was feeding it. If it was any other disciple, he would have kicked it away.
"Skinny monkey, go get another bucket of clean well water and pour the half bowl of medicine in front of it. This medicine is too strong and needs to be diluted. I drank a sip last night and I'm not hungry until now. This is the case for martial artists who have practiced acupuncture points, let alone this old deer." Zhao Ge said and walked over again: "Meng De, there is no time to waste. Now I will teach you the second realm of martial arts, tendon training."
"You have fully understood the power of the membrane, but the potential of the tendons and bones needs to be explored. I will teach you the Zhao family martial arts school's tiger and leopard tendon and bone training. This training method is also called the leopard tendon training and tiger bone training. After I became a martial artist who practiced acupoints, I spent a lot of money to buy it from the disciples of aristocratic families. After all, if you want to open a martial arts school, you must have a few good training methods to keep in the school. Otherwise, you will have nothing to teach your disciples, which is so embarrassing."
"Meng De, you should learn the Leopard Tendon Training first. Before learning this training method, you should know why it is called Leopard Tendon Training instead of Tiger Tendon Training?"
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Leopards are more flexible."
"Yes, leopards are flexible, and to train your tendons you have to make them flexible, so that when you use your strength, your tendons can relax appropriately and burst out with powerful force. It's like a big bow. Your tendons are like bowstrings. If they are too tight, the bow cannot be pulled open, and the arrow shot out will have no power. If they are too loose, the bow's power will be dispersed and the arrow will not be shot out. Therefore, flexibility is the most important thing."
Li Yi understood a lot.
"There are twelve moves in the Leopard Tendon Training, corresponding to the twelve major tendons in the human body. Now you follow me to learn." Zhao Ge said, and he taught her the real thing right away without keeping anything to himself. He showed Li Yi the most core and important training method directly.
And with Li Yi's memory and comprehension, Zhao Ge believed that he only needed to practice it once by himself and then get some pointers and corrections.
There is no need to practice it a second time.
This is the advantage of teaching a genius. It saves the teacher a lot of worry.
Li Yi began to learn from Zhao Ge. He struck a strange posture, like a cheetah stretching its body and exercising its muscles. The leopard belongs to the cat family, and its flexibility is important. It can bite its own tail and bend its body at incredible angles. This is because the leopard's muscles are flexible. If a warrior can master the muscle training, he can also be as flexible as a leopard.
In fact, Zhao Ge's tiger and leopard bone training is a relatively advanced training method. The ordinary tendon training method cannot train all twelve tendons. It is already good enough to train seven or eight.
As the practice continued, it was fine in the beginning, but when it came to the last few postures, Li Yi felt sore, numb and swollen in some parts of his body.
Zhao Ge pointed out, "It is normal to feel sore and numb. This shows that the tendons in that area have not been expanded. This is the potential that can be tapped. Normally, when ordinary disciples are training their tendons, their tendons will inevitably be injured. They need to take good medicine to recuperate and wait until the injuries are healed before continuing to train. But you, Meng De, don't need that. You have dragon tendons and tiger bones, which are incredibly strong. You can directly skip the training method and only need to practice the method."
This is why he is confident that Meng De can succeed quickly.
Li Yi continued to practice and found that his tendons gradually stretched out and the numbness disappeared. Then his body became exceptionally relaxed and flexible, and a hidden strength was tapped out.
He is a practitioner in the spiritual realm, and his adaptability is extremely strong after his body evolved.
After only training for less than an hour, Li Yi's body was almost completely stretched out. Then he became extremely flexible, posing in various strange postures, like a nimble leopard playing and frolicking.
"Good, very good, you have passed the first stage of tendon training, but it's not enough. Although the tendons have been stretched, learning how to use the strength of the tendons is also a science. Meng De, try to forget the strength of the flesh and bones, and only use the tendons to pull the body, and see if you can punch."
Zhao Ge stared at Li Yi with burning eyes.
He was excited in his heart, because he could gradually feel that after the bone training was completed, Li Yi's tendons, bones and skin would be united, and the potential of his dragon tendons and tiger bones would be tapped. His divine power would burst out, and with one punch he would throw, all the warriors in the world would have to bow their heads.
"I understand." Li Yi nodded.
This was the case when I was training my skin before, but now the part has changed, the principle is the same.
He closed his eyes, gave up the vibration of his skin and flesh, gave up the strength of his bones, and only relied on his tendons to pull his body.
At this time, he felt his body was extremely heavy and weak.
Tried to throw a punch, but it had no power at all.
Zhao Ge was not impatient when he saw this. He just went up to give instructions and told the tricks on how to pull the tendons and how to accumulate strength. After all, no matter how talented Li Yi was, he couldn't learn without a teacher. He still needed a master to teach him.
Li Yi got some guidance and figured out the trick, and then tried a few more times.
About half an hour later, he threw a punch.
"boom!"
The punch sounded, although not loud, it was enough to prove that Li Yi had passed the stage of muscle training. All that was left was for him to practice more.
"Good, very good." Zhao Ge clapped his hands and laughed.
One hour to train the skin and two hours to train the tendons, if this were to get out, who in the world would believe it?
You wait, all the warriors in the world are waiting.
A real dragon will soon be born in all corners of the world.
