Chapter 3: Kick Hall Competition!
"For the past half a month, you have been delivering food to me. I will help you with this kindness." Xiao Hui smiled and said, "What's more, now I have no power to tie a chicken and need to rely on your protection. Naturally, I hope you will be as strong as possible, so that I will be safer."
"Then what should I do now?" Tang Lin said excitedly. He never thought that he would be able to practice martial arts one day. The little Hui in front of him was like a life-saving grass he grabbed when he drowned.
In fact, Xiao Hui did not tell the truth to Tang Lin. He was not really powerless. Although the power he could exert was not strong, it was still possible to deal with a weak child like Tang Lin, who was eleven or 2 years old. He said this to him, leaving him a way out to prevent Tang Linwan from having evil thoughts and having a way to deal with it. The experience of his body being destroyed made him more cautious.
However, Tang Lin was simple-minded and studied since childhood, full of kindness, and had no idea about this.
"You are now weak in your blood and blood, and the first step is to improve your body." Xiao Hui pondered: "Our demon-suppressing tribe has a elixir called 'Blood Cloud Pill', which is specially used for newborn babies to enhance the blood and qi in the body and grow rapidly. However, to refine this elixir, some materials are needed. I wonder if you can get it."
"What material?" Tang Lin said nervously.
After all, the family is not rich. If the materials are expensive, there is no hope at all.
"You need a copper stove, about ten pieces of dragon-scent charcoal, as well as a Polygonum multiflorum, three eight lotus leaves, ten hundred-year-old ginseng, and a blood-burning flower." Xiao Hui looked at Tang Lin, "When you collect these materials, I will teach you how to refine them."
"Ten hundred-year-old ginseng!" Tang Lin glared.
Among this large string of materials, he knew only ginseng and stove, and he had never heard of the rest. However, the ten hundred-year-old ginseng alone cost at least twenty or thirty taels of silver, which is equivalent to the rent of the Martial Arts Mansion for a year!
Tang Lin immediately gave up the idea of borrowing money from his father. When Lantian came to ask for the nine-month rent for the mansion, his father could not take it out, let alone so much money.
"Is there no other way to improve my body except this pill?" Tang Lin couldn't help asking, with a loss in his voice.
"Don't worry." Xiao Hui comforted Tang Lin, "If we don't have the money to buy materials, we can make money first."
"Make money?" Tang Lin was stunned for a moment and frowned. "I am a weak scholar. I can only write some calligraphy, painting and calligraphy to sell. Even if I sell a hundred copies every day, at my current level, I can only earn a few chunks of money at most. It takes at least four or five years to earn dozens of taels."
Xiao Hui smiled, "You don't need to worry about this. Our demon-suppressing clan is proficient in various talismans and formations, and is specially used to deal with monsters. I will teach you how to carve talismans and formations. You can sell these talismans for money, so that you can quickly earn money from the materials."
"Cartoon the talisman?" Tang Lin's eyes lit up.
yes!
What other professions on the mainland can make money faster than the demon-squeezer?
Tang Lin has read in "Martial Dian" that the runes refined by some top demon-squeezing masters are so expensive that they can make a dynasty empire bankrupt, and the price is not ordinary.
"Can you teach me now?" Tang Lin looked at Xiao Hui expectantly.
Xiao Hui shook his head and said, "The talismans of our demon-suppressing clan are mainly divided into attack talismans, defense talismans, auxiliary talismans, and special talismans. There are countless types of talisman diagrams in each category, and their efficacy and power are divided into different levels, but no matter which talisman is portrayed, it requires sufficient force to be strong!"
"Fingering power?" Tang Lin was stunned for a moment, then woke up: "I understand. My father often said that no matter what boxing technique you practice, the most important thing is the foundation. Only when the foundation is laid, you will practice any boxing technique very quickly. This should be the same."
Xiao Hui said happily: "You are indeed smart and are right. The talisman is portrayed very complicated. The outlined strokes must not be confused, otherwise the entire talisman will be invalid. If the finger strength is not strong, your hands will tremble during the carving. Even if you just shake a little, the talisman will fail."
"I understand." Tang Lin pointed his head.
"So, before carving the talisman, you must first exercise your finger strength. Although your body is weak and you are not comfortable with movement, it will not affect your fingers if you only exercise your fingers. From tomorrow, I will teach you how to exercise your fingers." Xiao Hui said with a smile.
Tang Lin looked at the sky. It was already late at night. Although he wanted Xiao Hui to teach him now, he still had to go to the academy to study tomorrow and could not be late. He nodded immediately and said, "I understand."
"By the way, before you go to rest." Xiao Hui coughed lightly and suddenly said a little embarrassedly: "Can you help me get something to eat first? The puppy's body digests too fast."
"..." Tang Lin was silent.
Then, Tang Lin secretly came to the kitchen with Xiaohui in his arms, poured the leftover food today into a big bowl, and after Xiaohui finished eating, he carried him back to his room.
"You will sleep in the room from now on. It's too cold outside. I wanted to put you in the room before, but I was worried that you would run around and be discovered by my father." Tang Lin lay on the bed and carried Xiao Hui up. "When I go to the academy tomorrow, you should be careful, but don't be discovered by my father. He doesn't like pets at home."
Xiao Hui rolled his eyes in the dark, "Don't call me a pet."
Tang Lin: “…”
...
In the early morning, Tang Lin got up very early, washed his back and raised his book basket and walked towards the gate. He passed by the martial arts training ground and heard a "bang bang" sound of boxing and the sound of martial arts coach scolding him.
Tang Lin thought in his heart that after he earned enough money and took the "Blood Cloud Pill", he would be able to practice martial arts like these people, and he would have the possibility of becoming a martial artist or even a martial artist!
money!
Tang Lin's heart was so hot that he had never been so eager to get money.
He quickly left the house and rushed towards the academy. Although he had the opportunity to practice martial arts, Tang Lin did not intend to give up when it comes to studying.
"My father said that no matter how strong a person is, if he does not have enough cultivation and mind, he is like a reckless man!" Tang Lin also attaches great importance to reading.
However, when Tang Lin thought that Xiao Hui would teach him to practice finger strength after he returned home today, he couldn't help but look forward to it and wished that the sun would set in the west immediately.
Studying in academy, time passes unknowingly.
"School is finally over." Tang Lin was in a state of great excitement as he listened to the bells of the academy. He quickly packed up the books and left the academy with a basket on his back.
I returned home soon.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Tang Lin was about to put down the book basket and headed straight to the backyard, but suddenly he saw his father and eldest brother Tang Long sitting in the hall, as if talking about something. His father's face was a little solemn, while the eldest brother looked full of interest.
"Father." Tang Lin walked in.
"Lin'er, you're back." Tang Tian glanced at his son and smiled, "Are you tired today?"
"Not tired." Tang Lin shook his head, but his eyes fell on his father's hand, holding a red book note, "Father, what is this?" he said curiously.
"Little nerd, let me tell you good news." Tang Long sat next to him with a smile on his face: "This is an invitation. In another five months, it will be the hall kick competition in Longxiang City every three years. As long as we get a good ranking in this competition and kick other restaurants down, we will get rich bonuses!"
"Kicking the hall competition?" Tang Lin was stunned.
He had heard a few years ago that the so-called kick-off competition is all martial arts halls in Longxiang City. Under the leadership of the city lord, the martial arts halls will compete. If any martial arts hall wins the final victory, it will be named the title of "The First Martial Arts Hall", and there will be a plaque of honor rewards from the court and a generous silver!
"Father, don't worry. If I let me take action this time, I will definitely get a good ranking." Tang Long turned his head to look at his frown father and said heroically.
Tang Tian sighed lightly and said to Tang Long: "When your grandfather was the owner of the Chunyang Martial Arts Hall, every class was the first place in the Kick-up Competition. Since it was passed down to me, every class has just gone through a formality and lost early. The martial arts hall talents have withered. Now it can only rely on you. Although you are already a senior martial artist, don't be arrogant and careless. The age requirement for this Kick-up Competition is under 30 years old. You are only eighteen this year, and you are still too young. Fighting experience is your weakness!"
"Well, I know, but my father doesn't worry, I will definitely get a good ranking!" Tang Long said confidently.
"Yes." Tang Tian nodded slightly, "I will discuss with you during this period and help you enrich your combat experience."
"Thank you, father!" Tang Long's eyes lit up.
Tang Lin also encouraged his elder brother in his heart and said, "Brother, you must come on!"
"I will definitely do it, little nerd, then you can watch my elder brother win the title of the First Martial Arts Hall!"
"Yeah!" Tang Lin pointed his head heavily and said in his heart: "I have to work hard too, and I must exercise my finger strength as soon as possible!"
Then, he said a few casual words, left the main hall and came to the backyard.
"Xiao Hui, I'm here." Tang Lin ran into the room and saw Xiao Hui lying on the desk, looking lazy.
"Well, come with me." Xiao Hui saw Tang Lin and jumped a few times, then jumped down from the desk, walked out of the door, followed the bluestone road, and came to a secluded place behind the martial arts hall.
"I discovered this place before. Your mansion is very large, but the number of people is very small. There are almost no people here, so don't worry about being discovered." Xiao Hui walked into this secluded venue.
Tang Lin looked around, remembered it, and said to Xiaohui: "This is the main place of the martial arts hall. A little further before is the Wolong Pool. Usually students are not allowed to come in."
"That's even better." Xiao Hui nodded and said, "Now, I will teach you fingering."
