Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…

Standing behind Yu Liang.

Ma Wu suddenly took action.

Yu Liang was momentarily unstable and spread his legs apart.

Oh my god!

The severe pain coming from his thigh instantly made Yu Liang lie on the ground.

"My muscles and bones are stiff, and I can't stand even this little pain. Are you sure you want to learn martial arts from me?"

Ma Wu lowered his head and smiled, looking down at Yu Liang who was sitting on the ground with his face twitching and his hand covering his crotch.

"I just don't exercise often and my hands and feet are a little stiff. Give me some time and stretch it, and it won't hurt so much!"

Hearing Yu Liang's answer, Ma Wu did not refute, just glanced at him and returned to the house.

Time flies.

It felt like it didn't take long for the sky to get dark.

Ma Wu arranged a sleeping place for Yu Liang in a corner.

There he lay on a bed of stones and woven hay.

Yu Liang tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Firstly, it was still early. According to his inference, it was only seven or eight o'clock at most.

It's seven or eight o'clock. Even when Yu Liang was in school, he had never gone to bed so early, let alone now.

And most importantly.

Yesterday he was sleeping on a high bed, but today he had to sleep peacefully on this cold straw couch. How could he sleep?

"One sheep, two sheep..."

As he counted, Yu Liang found that he was hungry. At this moment, he really wanted to have two skewers of mutton, but this was already an unattainable dream for him.

"sleep!"

—

The next day, at dawn, Yu Liang woke up and moved his stiff body. When he came outside, he found that Ma Wu and his granddaughter Xiang'er were missing.

Um? Where have people gone?

After searching around the wooden house to no avail, Yu Liang walked slowly towards the lake.

Sure enough, looking from a distance, the lake surface was sparkling under the morning sun, and a figure was dancing on it.

Yu Liang quickened his pace, walked to the shore of the lake, and saw clearly that the figure was Ma Wu.

He was naked and swimming freely in the water. Whenever he jumped out of the water, he would grab a fish in his hand and put it lightly into the fish cage.

Not long after, he rowed the bamboo raft towards the shore with a full load.

"Are you up? I thought you were going to sleep until midnight!"

Hearing this, Yu Liang smiled, and then cast his gaze on the fish cage carried by Ma Wu.

I saw fish jumping around in the fish cage. I estimate there were at least a dozen fish.

"With so much fish, how can we finish it all?"

Hearing Yu Liang's words, Ma Wu smiled directly and said: "There are so many fish, of course we can't finish them all. We will keep one for lunch, and the rest must be sent to the market to sell as soon as possible."

Um! Right! Yu Liang nodded.

"Then can I go to the market with you?"

After hearing Ma Wu say that he was going to the market to sell fish, Yu Liang also wanted to go and have a look.

One is to see what this market is like, and the other is to find out information about the world after time travel.

"Then let's go!"

When he heard Yu Liang say that he wanted to go to the market with him, Ma Wu took him with him without saying anything.

"Let me help you!"

Yu Liang wanted to help Ma Wu lift the heavy fish cage, but after taking advantage of it, he took it back in embarrassment.

This fish trap was very heavy, and it even cut my hands a little. Yu Liang's thin-skinned and tender hands couldn't hold on for even a second.

"Forget it, I'd better not cause any trouble!"

In response, Ma Wu looked at Yu Liang with a smile, and then took the lead and walked forward.

From the lake to the market, it's not far, only about ten miles.

Ma Wu carried the heavy fish cage as if he didn't feel anything, walking as fast as flying.

On the contrary, Yu Liang, who was empty-handed, was half exhausted.

Such a long road is indeed a long way for a person who has to take a taxi for more than two miles.

Came to the market.

This is actually a stall gathering place outside a small town of blue bricks and half tiles.

Ma Wu chose a place to sit down and displayed the lively and dancing fish in the fish cage for people passing by to choose from.

Although there are many people buying, there are also many vendors who make a living by fishing, so the price of fish is also very cheap.

When half of the fish in the fish cage were sold, Yu Liang began to wander around.

I heard some chatting words from everyone's mouths, and then learned some key words from them.

Song Dynasty, Mongolia, Quanzhen Seven Sons, Beggar Clan, Jiaxing, Taihu Lake, Five Jue...

Yu Liang gradually understood that he had entered the world of Jin Yong's martial arts.

"Come, let's take a look!"

There was a group of jugglers ahead that attracted a lot of people, and Yu Liang also joined in the fun and went over to watch.

I saw this group of shirtless, bare-breasted, muscular men setting up a frying pan in the center.

"Fellow folks, everyone is watching!"

One of the strong men took out a copper coin, showed it in front of everyone, and then threw it into the boiling oil pan.

Yu Liang knew at a glance that they were going to perform a hot pot performance to get copper coins.

He has seen this trick a lot on the Internet. The principle is that what is burning in the pot is actually vinegar, covered with a layer of oil.

Since the boiling points of oil and vinegar are different, the vinegar below boils first, causing the oil above to roll. It seems that the oil is very hot, but in fact it is just the vinegar that is hot, and the temperature in the pot is not high.

However, the next scene shocked Yu Liang.

The other party actually caught a live chicken, which was jumping around and clucking.

After a round of display, it was thrown directly into the hot pan.

This live chicken was fried in hot oil, howled and struggled miserably for a moment, and then turned into a fried chicken.

Hiss~

Brother, are you serious?

Yu Liang took a breath of cold air.

Then, a performer showed his strong palms without any protection, then reached into the hot oil and took out the copper coins with a ferocious face.

Immediately, he arrogantly showed the copper coins and his unscathed hand to the audience.

"good!"

Yu Liang clapped his hands and applauded together with other audience members.

Absolutely amazing!

If you can make copper coins out of hot oil, this person must also be a martial arts master!

The first performance is over.

Next, they performed the golden spear piercing the throat, the iron arm breaking the wood, the chest breaking the boulder, the bare feet stepping on the hot coals, the golden spear catching the lock...

Every one of the thrilling performances amazed Yu Liang.

When it was about to end, Yu Liang silently retreated from the crowd.

Because he knew that the next step was to ask for rewards.

Yu Liang had no hair on his body now. He was a little embarrassed that he was not rewarded for such a wonderful performance, so he left the show early.

When I returned to Ma Wu's stall, I saw only two or three fish left in the fish cage that had not yet been sold.

After waiting for a while, when there was only one half-dead fish left in the cage, the two closed their stall and went home.

When I got home, it was noon.

Yu Liang sat on the bench tiredly, panting and began to rest.

This time I walked thirty or forty miles back and forth, and I was really exhausted.

"Look at your body, you really need to practice more!" Ma Wu said directly when he saw this.

"Um!"

Yu Liang also nodded in agreement.

Thinking of those invulnerable performances I saw at the fair.

In this martial arts world, even if you can't reach that level, you should still work hard to have a strong body.
