portable space

When Zhang Taiping came back after watering the trees at the foot of the mountain, Wukong was still circling around the spring, squatting on the ground scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time, looking very anxious.

As soon as Zhang Taiping's thoughts moved, it sensed it again. He stood up and saw Zhang Taiping in front of him. He didn't dare to go inside anymore. He came over to look at Zhang Taiping flatteringly and gently tugged on his clothes with his hands.

Zhang Taiping flicked its forehead again and said, "I knew you wouldn't live in peace. Let's go and take you there to satisfy your curiosity." After saying that, he walked towards the spring.

When Wukong saw Zhang Taiping walking in, he tentatively took a step forward from behind. Unexpectedly, he actually passed by, so he quickly ran over and followed Zhang Taiping.

Lying next to the spring water and looking at my own reflection in the spring water, I instinctively felt a desire for the spring water. I picked up a handful of spring water with both hands and drank it with my head down, and then continued this action until my stomach was full.

Zhang Taiping watched from the side and did not stop it, letting it do what it did. The more spiritual the animal, the more it can sense the huge benefits of the spring water, except of course humans who use wisdom instead of instinct.

After Wukong finished drinking the water, his belly was bloated and he jumped excitedly in front of Zhang Taiping, pointing at the spring and squeaking. Zhang Taiping patted its head before it calmed down.

After calming down, I looked around and fixed my sights on a few gourds floating on the vines. I was so excited that I immediately wanted to climb up and pick them off.

Zhang Taiping grabbed it and said, "You can't move this one."

Wukong stopped angrily, looked at the spring water and then at his stomach. After making sure that he couldn't drink any more, he took his mind away from these two things, looked towards the fruit tree again, and then towards the fruit tree again.

Zhang Taiping looked at it.

Zhang Taiping waved to it, and it slipped over to the fruit tree and picked a big peach. Unfortunately, it couldn't eat a single bit of it, and was reluctant to throw it away, so it had to hold it in his arms and sit on the fruit tree, looking around. I guess.

I am looking forward to my stomach returning to normal soon, so I can eat the fruits here as I like.

Zhang Taiping found some spatial spring water at the edge of the lake like last time. A large group of fish and eels immediately gathered at the lake. He went outside and quickly walked to a place by the pond where no one would see him.

I focused on a large group of fish by the lake in space. After learning from the last time, I was not so reckless this time. I only took about one third of the last time. The effect was indeed different. I only felt a slight dizziness in my brain.

Disappeared again.

After the fish and eels that appeared out of thin air fell into the pond, Zhang Taiping did not forget to bring out Wukong who was looking at the various fruits on the tree like a miser.

"Squeak..." Wukong protested to Zhang Taiping after he came out and adapted to the darkness outside.

Zhang Taiping ignored it and walked towards the house. Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Wukong could only follow behind and go towards the house, but he hugged the big peach even tighter.

"Are you still in charge of food tomorrow?" Cai Yazhi asked when she got home.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "The other people don't care about the food. They only let the two craftsmen take care of the lunch and evening meals. They don't have to prepare any special dishes. They can eat whatever they want as usual. It's just that it's better than usual."

Just make two extra meals and add some more meat."

"Do you want my help tomorrow?" Cai Yazhi asked.

Zhang Taiping glanced at her and said, "How can you help? Those are all strenuous tasks, and you, with your thin arms and legs, can't even exert your strength."

Cai Yazhi's face turned slightly red and she defended: "I am much stronger now than before."

"Can you lift the wood?"

Cai Yazhi thought about the kind of wooden pole that was four meters long and twenty or thirty centimeters thick at the shortest, shook her head helplessly and said, "No."

Zhang Taiping spread his hands and said: "That's it, your little strength won't work at all. After cooking, if you have time, go to the orchard to see how ripe the grapes are. Don't worry about things on the mountain.

Yes. Also, if you have time, make me two pairs of cloth shoes."

"Cloth shoes?" Cai Yazhi was a little surprised.

This is no wonder for her. In the past, Dashuai Zhang didn’t like cloth shoes at all and disliked the fact that cloth shoes were out of fashion. Cai Yazhi made several pairs for him but he threw them away. Later, when Cai Yazhi made shoes, he only made them for herself and Yaya.

.

Zhang Taiping knew what she was thinking, nodded and said: "Now I find that cloth shoes are more comfortable to wear. We are not going to the city in the village, so there is no need to wear leather shoes or bought shoes all day long."

"Okay." Cai Yazhi naturally agreed happily, "Would you like to make another pair of hemp shoes for you?"

"Let's make a pair." Zhang Taiping said.

The next morning, Zhang Taiping got up earlier than usual, but when he walked out of the bedroom door, he found that Ye Ling was already busy in the kitchen.

Zhang Taiping looked at the still dark sky outside and asked, "What time did you get up?"

Ye Ling turned around and replied: "I got up at four o'clock."

Zhang Taiping frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing up so early? Your aunt got up to make breakfast. You don't have to get up so early all day long."

"I know." Ye Ling lowered his head slightly and said, "I didn't sleep all night long."

Zhang Taiping shook his head slightly. Last night, the old man told Zhang Taiping that he had completed the foundation building for Ye Ling, and her physical strength had improved a lot. She could learn martial arts by loving herself first, so Zhang Taiping told Ye Ling that he would get up early tomorrow morning to teach her.

Unexpectedly, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

"Remember, the most taboo thing about practicing martial arts is an impetuous mind. When the mind is agitated, it is easy to cause trouble, so when practicing martial arts, you must calm down first." After Zhang Taiping finished speaking, he poured water to wash his face.

After hearing Zhang Taiping's words, Ye Ling nodded and turned around to continue making breakfast.

Zhang Taiping never used hot water when washing his face. He carried a wooden bucket to the bottom of the osmanthus tree, brought up a new bucket of cold water, and washed his face. He did not use any facial cleanser or anything like that, and simply soaked his face with the cold well water.

I just feel refreshed.

While waiting for breakfast, Ye Ling's mood had calmed down. This made Zhang Taiping surprised. It was not easy for a girl of this age to sit down so quickly. He nodded and praised: "Not bad."

!”

Ye Ling heard the master's praise just like little Yaya heard her father's praise, with a bright smile on her face.

Seeing her expression, which was rare for a girl of her age, Zhang Taiping couldn't help but smile.

Originally, one could not eat before morning exercise, but Zhang Taiping thought that the amount of exercise he would do later might be too much, so he asked Ye Ling to eat a small amount. Then he left the rice in the pot for others and the two of them walked toward the orchard.

Go.

When he arrived at the orchard, Zhang Taiping already had a knife made of black iron in his hand. It was unopened and weighed more than an ordinary knife.

Zhang Taiping inserted the black iron knife blank into the ground, took out a piece of wood and the knife, and whittled out a wooden knife in two or three cuts.

"Let's stick to the horse stance first." Zhang Taiping handed the wooden knife to Ye Ling and said.

Ye Ling did a proper horse stance, and Zhang Taiping gave instructions beside her, asking her to squat lower on the ground, then clenched a fist with one hand against her waist and held the wooden knife flat with the other.

"Try to relax your body and don't be nervous, but don't change your posture. Just hold on as long as you can for the first time. I'll see first." Zhang Taiping said next to him.

Ye Ling did what Zhang Taiping said.

Zhang Taiping looked at her fairly good posture and continued: "The old man will tell you that after you have adjusted your body, you can start learning kung fu from today. However, all kung fu requires a solid basic skill, and you must start from the horse step.

start."

Two minutes passed, and Ye Ling was still insisting. Zhang Taiping continued: "What I am going to teach you is sword skills. Although I will also teach you some fist and kick skills during the period, the amount of training depends on your specific situation.

So now you are asked to hold the wooden sword horizontally while walking."

Eight minutes passed, and Ye Ling was still persisting, with a layer of dense sweat oozing out from his forehead.

Looking at her, she was already highly stressed. Her body was extremely tense and she was mentally stressed. She probably couldn't remember what she said now, so she stopped talking and watched quietly.

Twelve minutes passed, and Ye Ling still persisted, but sweat was already pouring down his forehead, and the wooden knife he held flat began to tremble.

Zhang Taiping still didn't speak. Although there was no expression on his face, he was a little surprised in his heart. Zamabu seemed to have nothing to say, but it was not easy to achieve the standard. What Zhang Taiping said about relaxing the body and mind had a certain degree of enthusiasm.

In this situation, it is very good if she can persist for ten minutes for the first time. Not only did Ye Ling persist for more than ten minutes, the most important thing is that she is still a girl, and she also holds a wooden knife in her hand.

When it was close to fifteen minutes, the wooden sword that was held horizontally began to tremble more and more, and soon the wooden sword fell to the ground.

Little girl Ye Ling's already pale face turned even paler. She looked up at Zhang Taiping with unconcealable frustration in her eyes. What she feared most was to disappoint her master.

Zhang Taiping went over and patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Sit down and have a rest."

The frustration in Ye Ling's eyes turned into panic, and tears slowly filled her eyes.

Zhang Taiping knew that the little girl had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly said: "You have done very well, far exceeding the master's estimate. You must know that the master only stood for ten minutes when he first did the horse step.

I can’t stand anymore. Not only have you been able to stand longer than the master back then, but you are also holding a wooden sword, which means you have far surpassed the master.”

After hearing this, Ye Ling's eyes finally regained their vitality. She blinked her eyes to hold back the tears that were about to remain, but her body still stood in a horse-step posture.

Zhang Taiping finally saw the problem and quickly stepped forward to put her hands and legs on the ground and slowly straighten them. Then he rubbed her stiff muscles and said, "Why are you forcing yourself so hard?"

Although I say so, I am very happy in my heart. Generally speaking, the first stance when you start to learn martial arts has an element of perseverance in the test. Being able to persist for a long time is closely related to perseverance. And perseverance

It is very important for a martial arts practitioner.

After her limbs recovered, Zhang Taiping taught her the technique of relaxing her muscles after the horse stance, allowing her to relax her stiff muscles. Then he said: "I won't tell you the first time. In the future, you must be careful when practicing martial arts. You must know if

If you cannot train in a correct and appropriate way step by step, then practicing martial arts will not strengthen your body but will destroy your life."

Ye Ling's face returned to rosy and nodded, writing it down.

Zhang Taiping continued: "Tomorrow morning, I will start standing in the horse stance for ten minutes, just like today's posture. If you have the energy, you can add one minute every day, but you must ensure that your body is not harmed. In the process of standing in the horse stance, it is not

Instead of tightening your body, learn to relax your mind and body. When you can stand relaxed for forty or fifty minutes, start hanging things under the wooden knife, and gradually increase the weight until it weighs two kilograms."

Ye Ling listened carefully with bright eyes.

Zhang Taiping said: "This process is not easy. Can you persevere?"

Ye Ling bit her lip gently and nodded firmly: "I can persevere."

Zhang Taiping also nodded. He no longer doubted Ye Ling's will. He pointed at the black iron knife embryo inserted on the ground and said: "If what I just said is achieved, use this iron knife embryo to replace the wooden knife and continue the previous process."

Movements. These are all things that need to be done in the first half hour of the morning. After that, you have to run a thousand meters. That’s it for now. I will add or change it later depending on the situation.”

Ye Ling nodded.

Zhang Taiping warned me again: "You must let me know in advance before adding weight. You can't change it randomly by yourself, you know?" At the end of the sentence, Zhang Taiping's tone became a little harsh.

Ye Ling knew that the master was doing this for his own good, so he nodded obediently.

After saying this and seeing that she had fully recovered, Zhang Taiping stood up and said: "Today is the first day that you don't have to run. Do Tai Chi with me twice. From now on, you can do Tai Chi several times to relax after practicing every day."

Body."

Ye Ling followed Zhang Taiping's movements and slowly practiced Tai Chi. Although he still couldn't get the Tai Chi intention, his movements were already in shape.

Zhang Taiping looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but feel gratified. Any master would like an apprentice who is talented and willing to work hard to learn.
