Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 34: Stick method

A two-story wooden building was built in the backyard of the tea tavern.

Four rooms on the first floor, two rooms and a study on the second floor.

The night Dahan was assigned to a room, he carried Lao Hantou’s luggage.

Lu Tong completely left the affairs of the tea tavern to Dahan and Erhu, and read books, learned boxing, elephant stakes, and practiced magic every day.

Wanyu Cave, in a training room.

Lu Tong's whole body was immersed in artesian water. Countless small streams of water flowed all over his body, moving tendons, supporting bones, and pressing flesh, assisting his practice like a pile.

Zhu Fan sat on the stone and said:

"The practice of Xiang Zhuang starts with the sinews, then the bones, and finally the flesh."

"The tendons start from the hands and feet, and they have both strength and strength. Once the fascia is formed, the bones and flesh will move accordingly!"

"Bone, the incisor produces hair, the foundation of a solid body..."

"Meat, blood is like a wheel, and the Dantian is strong. The flesh and blood are great. If the intention is light, it will be like a feather, and if the intention is heavy, it will be as hard as gold and stone."

The key points of the joints of the elephant pile have been explained one by one.

Zhu Fan glanced at the timing incense next to him, put away his magic power from the formation and said: "Shopkeeper Lu, this is the last time to use artesian water. Is there anything you don't understand about the elephant pile?"

Lu Tong shook his head, climbed out of the pool, rinsed briefly and put on a cotton robe.

It’s not difficult to get started with elephant piles.

What is rare is that you persist every day and practice the muscles, bones, and flesh little by little with water.

While practicing, I couldn’t feel any progress at all.

So it’s very tedious to learn.

Zhu Fan said: "Baina Quan has a total of seventy-two punches and two spells, which you have basically mastered. You have also learned a few tricks. I promised you a set of stick techniques at the beginning, and tonight is the last day. Teach it to you."

Lu Tong frowned: "The last night? Can you learn stick skills in one night?"

"It's not difficult! With Shopkeeper Lu's talent, maybe you can do it after just one look. What do you think a stick is?"

Although Lu Tong has never learned weapons.

But I have read a lot of books recently, and I am no longer the little half-demon that I knew nothing about at first.

"Stick, blunt weapon. Usually..."

"Wrong."

Zhu Fan interrupted Lu Tong for the first time and said with a faint smile: "A stick is a fist!"

He flipped his wrist, and a green short stick appeared in his hand.

Only two feet long and as thick as a goose egg.

Zhu Fan took two steps back and began to wave the short stick in his hand.

Lu Tong was a little confused at first, but after a few moves, his eyes lit up.

This set of stick techniques is clearly the "Baina Fist" performed with a stick!

One of the tricks is to take advantage of the situation.

Originally it was a side strike with the fist, but when used with a stick, it became a tap with the tip of the stick.

After Zhu Fan finished a set, he put away his short stick, replaced it with a long stick that was as long as his body, and started to move around again.

"Shopkeeper Lu is ruthless with a short stick, but a monster with a long stick."

"Among the seventy-two moves in "Baina Fist", forty-eight are fierce and suitable for short sticks; the remaining twenty-four have many changes and false moves, suitable for long sticks."

"Use the stick to perform boxing techniques, mainly point the stick."

"The most difficult thing is to order sticks..."

Zhu Fan was talking and beating, and the stick came out like rain, creating a strong wind in the room.

After half a stick of incense, he put away his stick and stood still. The bulging muscles all over his body were like snakes returning to their burrows, disappearing under the skin one after another.

Zhu Fan took a breath and said, "Are you ready?"

Lu Tong nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhu, for your guidance these days!"

Although it is a deal between the two.

But people are not like grass and trees. After getting along with each other these days, some friendships have developed.

Lu Tong invited: "Mr. Zhu, if you still have time tonight, why don't you go to my pub for a drink?"

"I am dissatisfied with Shopkeeper Lu. I have saved enough money and bought a house in the countryside. I will leave Yunying City at dawn."

Lu Tong was speechless for a moment.

Looking at the majestic white-haired old man in front of him, he felt very complicated.

Unlike Old Hantou, Zhu Fan is a monk who has truly pursued the path of immortality.

Life is full of ups and downs and many hardships.

In the end, my practice was in vain and I could only spend the rest of my life in the countryside.

"I have a question, please ask Mr. Zhu to clarify it."

"But it doesn't hurt to ask!"

Lu Tong said seriously: "If I had a choice, I would rather die by the enemy's sword or die in a country house."

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Fan sighed and turned around to leave.

Lu Tong felt very clearly that Zhu Fan's back, as broad as a mountain, bowed.

……

Exit the practice cave.

The golden camel, which had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately walked over to greet him and knelt down on all fours.

"Good luck, sir! As usual, do you want to go up and rest? Ru Qing, Mu Ya, and Nian Feng are all waiting."

"No more, go back to the tea tavern."

The Golden Retriever Camel was a little disappointed, but he didn’t dare to say a word.

Lu Tong sat astride him, leaned on the hump and closed his eyes.

What he asked Zhu Fan just now was actually asking himself.

With his intelligence, it is very easy to live a stable life.

But if you want to pursue the path of immortality, it can be said that you will have a narrow escape from death.

Ever since he sent that letter, Lu Tong often felt that a fatal disaster was about to happen in the next moment, and he could not help but have the thought of retreating in his heart.

Back to the tea tavern.

The golden-haired camel knelt down, took out a piece of hair from the long hair under its neck, and said diligently: "Whenever the master wants to go up the mountain for recreation, just burn this piece of hair. I will come here personally to support the master."

"Got it."

Lu Tong put away his hair, turned around and opened the door and went in.

It was dark inside the teahouse.

Lu Tong shouted: "Dahan?"

Every time I came back, Dahan would sit behind the counter and wait.

Although there are many rooms in the backyard, Dahan is still used to sleeping under Lu Tong's bed.

There is no sound. ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Tong walked to the counter and fumbled for the oil lamp on the counter.

The oil lamp is on.

On a table in the center of the hall, there was half a bowl of leftover tea that had not been cleared away.

Lu Tong frowned and shouted: "Er Hu, where have you gone?"

Still no one responded.

Lu Tong held up the oil lamp and searched the tea tavern.

I walked into the backyard again and searched up and down the wooden building, but I didn't see anyone.

Dahan, Erhu, and Lao Hantou are all absent.

Lu Tong returned to the tea tavern and sat next to the bowl of leftover tea. He stared at it for a few breaths and suddenly felt something was wrong.

It's too quiet.

Since entering the door, there has been no sound at all when walking, opening doors, or touching tables and chairs.

Countless cold air rushed out and instantly covered my back.

Lu Tong gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and slapped the table hard.

Dead silence.

What’s even weirder is that there is no feeling in the hands.

The remaining tea in the bowl did not fluctuate at all.

He stared blankly at the tea bowl, the world in front of him becoming increasingly blurry.

After a trance.

Lu Tong looked around again, including the street, the door panels, and the plaque. On the plaque were written the five words "Liangyao Tea Tavern".

Still outside the tea shop.

Did you never go in?

Lu Tong took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.

"Squeak~"

The harsh sound of the door shaft rubbing was extremely pleasant at this time.

The door is open.

There was an oil lamp on the counter, and Dahan was sitting next to it.

There is a tea bowl on the table in the center of the hall.

Behind the tea bowl, a female cultivator raised her head with a smile.
