Chapter 3 Tongbei Jiuxiang After coming to her senses, Mu Lingsha carefully placed the fire python tiger cub and then began teaching."The martial arts in the world are divided into nine grades and three levels. Grades one, two and three are the lower level, followed by the middle level, and grades seven, eight and nine are the upper level. Little sister, what I'm going to teach you today is a lower-level first-grade boxing technique, the Tongbei Fist." Mu Lingsha said. "Tongbeiquan?" Mu Zi seemed to be thinking about something. In the original novel, this was also the martial art that Lin Dong first practiced. “Perhaps Tongbeiquan is very popular.” As if she heard Mu Zi's inner monologue, Mu Lingsha explained, "Tongbei Quan, sticks to clothes to release power, and when practicing, you need to practice with clothes. Tongbei Quan has nine moves, also known as Nine Rings Power, because each move will make a crisp sound, one level better than the other, and after nine rings, the power is comparable to that of a second-grade martial art." "This kind of martial arts has clear levels, moderate difficulty, and a lot of room for improvement. It is most suitable for beginners to lay the foundation." Mu Zi nodded and asked, "Sister, how many shots can you make now?" "I can now fire eight shots." Mu Lingsha said with some pride. This achievement was the best among the young people in Mujiazhuang. Even among those in the Body Tempering Realm within a hundred miles, it was rare. "Oh." Mu Zi nodded without much emotion. Seeing this, Mu Lingsha raised her eyebrows slightly and said unhappily, "You little girl, do you look down on your elder sister?"
Mu Zi was stunned for a moment, then she explained, "No, that's not what I meant." Sighing, Mu Lingsha explained: "Although Tongbeiquan is only a first-grade martial art, it is very difficult to practice it to perfection. People with average talent can only stop at the seventh level in their lifetime. Don't be too ambitious. I will demonstrate it to you and you watch patiently." Mu Lingsha let out a low shout, and suddenly spread out her hands and feet, taking a step forward. Her body was like a leopard, and she waved her arms like a monkey stretching its body. Crisp sounds of sticky clothes popping continued to ring out. Mu Zi immediately focused her attention and observed carefully, her lively eyes reflecting Mu Lingsha's movements. After rehearsing once, Mu Lingsha was about to play it again when a crisp voice came. "Sister, I remember it." Mu Lingsha's expression turned serious: "Mu Zi, the most taboo in the way of cultivation is to be impatient. If you continue like this, you should give up martial arts as soon as possible." Seeing that Mu Zi didn't take her warning seriously, Mu Lingsha didn't take it seriously. She just thought her younger sister was just a girl. After she demonstrated it, she would know that martial arts is not a joke. She didn't expect that after seeing real martial arts, Mu Zi was still so careless. This kind of mentality can't go too far on the road of martial arts. "But, I really remembered it!" Mu Zi said helplessly. In fact, Mu Zi could understand Mu Lingsha's misunderstanding. Just like the radio gymnastics in the previous life, if it was only demonstrated once for the first time, almost no one would be able to remember everything. Tongbeiquan is much more complicated than gymnastics, and it is still a bit unrealistic to think that someone can remember everything after just watching it once. After all, the third level of body tempering has not yet generated Yuanli, it is just a mortal body. "Then try it out for me." Seeing Mu Zi looking at her with her big watery eyes, Mu Lingsha raised her eyebrows. Nodding, Mu Zi got into position, stretched out his fists, and then performed a set of boxing techniques in a very professional manner. Mu Lingsha was stunned for a moment, hardly able to believe her eyes. "Why is there no sound?" Mu Zi murmured. Mu Lingsha's mouth twitched, thinking, you want to make a sound right away when you practice for the first time? I practiced for eight days before I made the first sound. As if he knew what she was thinking, Mu Zi pondered for a moment, then got ready and attacked again. This time her movements were more graceful, and as she stretched her arms, she looked like a real monkey. When she was about to finish the set of moves, Mu Zi finally caught the feeling, stuck to her clothes, and exerted a little force. "Snapped!" "This this."
Mu Lingsha showed an incredible look on her face, opened her mouth wide, but couldn't say anything for a long time. "Knock, knock, knock!" At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Mu Lingsha walked towards the gate, a little dazed, and unknowingly opened the gate. "Miss Lingsha, the owner of the manor asks you to go to the meeting room." Suddenly coming to her senses, Mu Lingsha muttered woodenly: "Am I dreaming?" "what?" The guard who came to report was a little confused. Giving Mu Lingsha a strange look, the guard urged, "Miss, don't keep the owner waiting for too long. Oh, by the way, the owner asked you to bring that thing with you." "Okay, wait for me." Hearing this, Mu Lingsha returned to the yard, picked up the fire python tiger cub, looked at Mu Zi deeply, and regardless of the guards' surprised looks, she spread her long legs and ran out. Mu Zi was already immersed in the Tongbei Quan at this moment. His small figure moved rapidly in the yard, performing the Tongbei Quan over and over again. As a result, the "popping" sounds became more and more frequent. One ring, two rings, three rings. Finally, after a stick of incense, Mu Zi was able to successfully perform seven rings. "Practicing martial arts seems very simple." Mu Zi murmured. She was just a beginner, and after a little practice, she could already play seven shots. It would probably take half a year of hard work for others to reach this level. "It seems that even without activating the Samsara Seal, my comprehension is still very good." Mu Zi's mouth curled up. However, Mu Zi was not too proud. The road of martial arts requires perseverance. The earth-shaking martial arts cultivation is inseparable from hard work and practice day after day. No matter how talented you are, you have to take one step at a time. Mu Zi's martial arts journey has just begun, so naturally he has to be humble. Moreover, she also wanted to see how far she could go with her understanding. Calming down, Mu Zi continued to practice Tongbeiquan. The little figure was sweating. Before I knew it, the sun was setting and nearly two hours had passed. "Pap-pap-pap-pap." The figures in the courtyard were dancing. If anyone was watching, they would probably drop their jaws in shock. Because if you listened carefully, there were actually nine sounds. Nine sounds of Tongbei, it’s done! "The eighth and ninth sounds are indeed very difficult, and are not comparable to the first seven sounds." In the courtyard, Mu Zi was deep in thought. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, but her lively eyes were exceptionally bright. It only took her one stick of incense to master the seven sounds from her first attempt, but it took her more than an hour to master the last two sounds. Of course, this result is already extremely terrifying. At least in the Great Yan Dynasty, even if it is told to others, I am afraid no one will believe it. You know, in the original novel, even with the help of the Stone Talisman Light and Shadow, Lin Dong still practiced hard for ten days before he could barely make nine shots. Moreover, Mu Zi's movements were smooth and full of agility, with a special sense of beauty. It was obvious that he had practiced Tongbeiquan to perfection. However, judging from her frown, she was still somewhat dissatisfied. "Just nine ordinary rings, but that's not enough." Mu Zi murmured.
I pursue rationality when writing books, and I won’t force the protagonist to grow too fast. The kind of routine where the protagonist relies on the system and levels up without doing anything may feel very cool at first, but it’s easy to get bored.
