Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence

The five major martial arts halls in Changping City are: Kuanglei, Tianmang, Jinding, Hongyun, and Jingtao.

In these five martial arts halls, some teach fists and palms, some teach kicks, and some teach horizontal hard exercises, each of which is different.

"In these five martial arts gyms, the disciples have won and lost among each other, but the masters of the major gymnasiums have never publicly competed."

"Therefore, even the locals living in Changping City don't know which of the skills taught by the five martial arts schools is stronger or weaker..."

Zhang Yao paced back and forth in the room, thinking silently, and soon came to a decision.

"Then choose Jinding Martial Arts Hall."

Since he couldn't distinguish between strong and weak, he naturally gave priority to the ability to save his life.

From this point of view, the horizontal hard work taught by Jinding Martial Arts School is more suitable for him than those of other martial arts schools.

After making a decision, Zhang Yao didn't immediately come to visit his teacher, but left the inn and went to various places in Changping City to inquire about the situation of Jinding Martial Arts Hall.

The main thing to inquire about is the character of the owner of the gym, and how the martial arts is judged.

If the owner of the Jinding Martial Arts Hall is a domineering person, or if the disciples of the martial arts hall often cause trouble and have bad records, then he has to seriously consider whether to change the martial arts hall.

After some busy work, Zhang Yao returned to the second floor of the inn, and sorted out the news that he had inquired about.

"Overall, the reputation of Jinding Martial Arts in Changping City is pretty good."

"The discipline of the disciples in the martial arts school is very strict. Although there are also incidents of using martial arts to violate the prohibition and fight fiercely, they are just exceptions, and they did not cover up afterwards."

"The owner of the hall and several direct disciples also often do some righteous deeds to help those in need, and they are quite famous in the hearts of the people."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao firmly decided to join Jinding Martial Arts Hall.

the next day.

Zhang Yao checked out his room at the Yunlai Inn early in the morning, and after having breakfast at a street stall, he set off for Jinding Martial Arts Hall.

As a county seat, Changping City has a high city, deep pools, and a vast area. There are nearly 100,000 people living there, with prosperous commerce and numerous squares and cities.

Jinding Martial Arts Hall is located on the West Street, surrounded by restaurants and shops of various colors, pedestrians flocking all around, vendors and shopkeepers shouting loudly.

"Hey, that's quite impressive."

Zhang Yao came to the Jinding Martial Arts Hall, seeing the blue bricks and green tiles, stone steps and red doors, and the gold-plated plaque shining brightly in the sunlight.

Across the courtyard wall, one could hear the uniform shouts inside the martial arts hall. Apparently, there were a large number of apprentices practicing martial arts here early in the morning, which proved that the martial arts hall's business was very good.

He came to the door and explained his purpose to the two disciples guarding the door, and soon he was led in.

The one who led him was a young man in white shirt. He first showed him around the inside of the martial arts hall, and then took him to the cashier in the inner courtyard to pay the money.

In the Jinding Martial Arts Academy, the fee for apprenticeship is ten taels of silver a year, not including board and lodging.

After the accountant's calculations were correct, and after confirming that he was worthy of real money, he asked about his name, age, and place of origin, and entered it in the roster.

At this point, Zhang Yao is regarded as a disciple of the Jinding Martial Arts Academy, and he is a registered disciple of the owner of the gymnasium.

"Junior Brother Zhang, let's go, I'll take you to meet Master."

The young man in white shirt is named Zhang Yannian, he is the master's direct disciple, he said in a gentle tone: "Junior brother who just started, only a few days ago, the master will personally teach you."

"In the future, if you want to ask for advice, you can only ask me or the senior brother. Our level is naturally far inferior to that of the master."

"Junior Brother Zhang, you have to seize this opportunity!"

"I see."

Zhang Yao nodded.

He followed Zhang Yannian through several courtyards to the main hall, and finally met the owner of the Jinding Martial Arts Gym.

He is about fifty years old, with a Chinese character face, a short one-inch beard under his chin, and a black military uniform, sitting on the grand master's chair, with a rather calm and majestic posture.

This is the master of the Jinding Martial Arts Academy, Zhou An, the famous "Vajra God Fist" in Changping City.

"Master."

Zhang Yannian saluted respectfully and said, "This is the new Junior Brother Zhang Yao."

"Meet the master."

Zhang Yao also took a step forward and bowed in salute.

"Um."

Zhou An nodded slightly, took a look at Zhang Yao, and said, "He has a good body, and he is full of air, so he can be regarded as a material to be made."

"The hard horizontal exercise taught by my Jinding Martial Arts Center is called "Golden Cauldron Kungfu". It is divided into three stages. When practiced to perfection, you will be invulnerable..."

He gave a rough explanation of "Golden Cauldron Kung Fu", and then started to teach directly.

"Look carefully."

Zhou An first set up a horse stance, and then began to practice boxing, with the staggered footsteps and body turning, and there was a great flow between each move and one move.

"boom……"

Although his moves are slow, they are not slow. The speed seems to be slow, but there is a faint sound of humming and whistling in the air, which obviously contains great power.

If such a punch hits a person, I'm afraid it can tear him apart on the spot, which is horrible.

"It's amazing."

Zhang Yao watched this scene intently, feeling a little amazed in his heart.

He had seen an excavator in his previous life, and it was more than a hundred times stronger than a human body, but because it was not fast, it would definitely not be able to make such a momentum.

He understands that this is a wonderful and special way of power operation, which can explode with great lethality-this is the so-called martial arts.

"The martial arts taught by the Jinding Martial Arts Academy are really not comparable to health-preserving exercises."

Zhang Yao paid all his attention, he didn't dare to miss a single move, and firmly remembered this scene.

After dozens of breaths, Zhou An regained his posture, let out a breath, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his forehead.

"This is the introductory tactic of "Jinding Kungfu". It is called 'Twenty-Four Stances of Carrying the Cauldron'. It is a move specially used to stretch the tendons and open the back, strengthen the bones and strengthen the strength."

He turned his head to look at Zhang Yao, and asked, "Zhang Yao, can you see clearly?"

Zhang Yao nodded and said, "I see clearly."

"Okay, then call me and have a look."

Zhou An sat back on the teacher's chair, and stretched out his hand to signal.

The twenty-four moves of carrying a tripod seem to be not complicated, but for those who are exposed to martial arts for the first time, it is not bad to be able to imitate three or four achievements.

What is the talent in martial arts and what will be the future achievements? Through this first teaching and teaching, you can get a general idea.

"Okay, let Master appreciate it."

Zhang Yao responded, stood firm and dismounted, and began to practice the "Twenty-Four Stances of Carrying a Cauldron".

He has a superb memory, and he can memorize it firmly after reading it once. In addition, his physique is far superior to that of ordinary people.

"this……"

Zhang Yannian, who was on the side, was shocked: "This Junior Brother Zhang's talent is so outstanding?"

This level of talent in martial arts, not to mention him, I'm afraid even the senior brother can't match it.

He could tell that it was Zhang Yao's first contact with the "Twenty-Four Stances of Carrying the Cauldron", and he made mistakes that should not have been made in many details, but this further proved his amazing talent.

"I don't know what Master thinks..."

Zhang Yannian subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhou An, but found that his brows were tightly frowned, and he was a little puzzled.

"Master, what's the matter? Are you still not satisfied?"

"Zhang Yao!"

Zhou An suddenly opened his mouth, staring at Zhang Yao, and said in a deep voice, "Have you ever learned inner martial arts?"
