Chapter 9: A Dream of the Past

Why ...... exactly?

Will you learn this useless technique, which is regarded as a fool, a monkey, a fear, and an abnormal object?

Can't think of it.

Jianming racked his brains, but he couldn't think of an answer.

He himself has a place where he can use martial arts, but why did this countless martial artists in Penglai not hesitate to torture themselves so much and become stronger?

Can't think of it.

So he was going to ask, to ask what others thought.

He turned his head sideways, turned his back to the moonlight outside the window, and looked at Chen Shihu.

Chen Shihu ...... You...... Why did you learn martial arts?"

A voice interrupted Chen Shihu, who was watching martial arts, and he put down his book and began to brew his answer with great interest.

After a while, he finally came up with the answer to this question that Jianming couldn't think of.

The answer belongs only to him.

He said to the moonlight: "Yesterday I listened to the story of your journey, I found that the world is far bigger than I imagined, I always feel that there are too many things I want to do in this life, but there are very few things that can be done, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and recalling the previous naivety is just a big basket of jokes. In that ignorant time, in addition to my own teacher, Wudang martial arts accompanied me all the way. ”

"I went to Wudang Mountain when I was seven years old, and my teacher taught me boxing, but Wudang martial arts made me understand the truth of life, and made me grow from a young and ignorant teenager to a martial artist who entered the Tao with martial arts. I'm glad that I don't regret the path I've taken, and I've moved from one goal to another in my life. But I want to pass on the happiness I get from Tai Chi to others along with my skills, so that more people can join the team of inheriting Wudang martial arts. ”

"From love to martial arts, from coaches to successors, from park teaching to the opening of the museum, step by step to today, looking back on the past like yesterday, thinking about the future like tomorrow, always feel that there is a providence in the dark, from small to large, from simple to complex, vividly. In my heart, martial arts is a part of my life, I hope I can do my best to promote Tai Chi martial arts, inherit Wudang martial arts, and let Wudang martial arts benefit the people of the world!"

It's too long, Jianming didn't listen to it at all.

In general, he felt that Chen Shihu's answer was somewhat similar to Qingshan's.

It's nothing more than boring stuff like balabala for the people of the world.

Seeing that Jianming was not interested and didn't listen, Chen Shihu was inevitably a little disappointed.

After all, there weren't many opportunities to talk about martial arts with Jianmingkou, and he felt that he could always learn something new from this young man.

So he opened his mouth and asked, "That Jianming...... What did you learn martial arts for?"

..................

Jianming didn't know, it was because he didn't know that he took the initiative to ask Chen Shihu.

But now that the other party is starting to ask himself, he can't just answer 'I don't know.' 'Right?

If there is anything to say, Jianming has something to say.

He said with a tired face, "To be honest, I don't know very well...... But I want to be strong. ”

Chen Shihu continued to ask with interest.

"Why, why do you want to be stronger?"

Jianming: Hmm...... After a while, there was an answer.

"I want to be strong so I don't have to...... Flattened by others. ”

Well............

Chen Shihu pinched his chin with his fingers, thinking slightly.

He felt that this alone was not enough for Jianming to be a reason to practice martial arts.

So he continued to ask.

"But...... Don't you think it's better to study hard, make yourself a rich man, and then instruct those who look down on you?"

Jianming was a little tired, and his eyes were only half-open, in short, he didn't agree with the option Chen Shihu gave him.

"So you want me to live quietly, until I become a big man? I don't want to, I just want to ...... Just keep your chest up and live. ”

..................

β€œ............ It's the same even if you don't have a parent. ”

Every word comes from Jianming's sincerity.

This made Chen Shihu feel very moved.

He already understood, Jianming just didn't admit defeat, he wanted to be stronger, he wanted to be stronger than anyone else.

But............

"But Ah Jianming, even if your martial arts are strong, it doesn't mean that you will become amazing. ”

........................

After a period of time, Jianming did not reply.

"Jianming?"

Chen Shihu looked at Jianming's face in the moonlight.

Breathe steadily and keep your eyelids closed.

Because of today's overwork, Jianming is now ............

Fell asleep peacefully.

........................

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a very strange scene.

The sky was blue, the earth was scorched, and strange creatures came into view.

Jianming is dreaming now.

I was in a somewhat dim space, and in front of me, there were several people standing......

He didn't know any of them, so it's no wonder they looked very strange.

Some have horns on the top of their heads, some have wings behind them, and some have long noses.

But there is one person who is normal, and he stands in the middle.

The face looks ............ It's exactly the same as Jianming.

(This is ...... Me?)

No, after a closer look, that person looks a little different from Jianming.

Such as temperament and demeanor.

That person exudes a sparkling youthful chivalrous spirit from top to bottom, and at the same time exudes a kind of ......

A refreshing feeling that makes you feel relaxed.

Jianming wanted to get closer, but he couldn't move, as if a wall was blocking him.

He had to take a closer look here.

Looking closely, the clothes and hair accessories worn by this person are also very special, not like a product of any era.

The style is also unconventional, strange, but good-looking.

(**&&%...... οΏ₯......*οΌ‰

There was sound, but it was noisy.

Jianming pricked up his ears and listened intently.

He heard someone around him talking to the man in the middle who looked almost exactly like him.

Ling Shan...... You use this strange ability...... What's it called?

The young man smiled, and there was an atmosphere of ambition that was not the same as his age.

He said, "Well...... We've been stopping strife and getting involved in the fight all the way.

Stop the ......

Take, just like a dance that makes people feel happy.

It's called martial arts!

This is a technology that was developed to stop strife.

But fighting is only a process of resolving contradictions, I ...... What we want to eliminate is the contradiction itself.

I'm going to stop the war, with my methods.

To this end...... Can you lend me your power?

Several people next to him touched the ground on one knee and knelt down, and the man named Ling Shan also looked in his direction and smiled handsomely.

Knock knock, knock knock.

Jianming heard the sound of his heart beating faster.

Knock knock, knock knock.

The voice was getting faster and faster, and it was already filling his mind.

Phewβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Jianming woke up.

It is rumored that the things that appear in the dream are things that people have actually seen.

The people who appear in the dream are the ones who have actually seen it.

The faces that appear in the dream are all faces that have actually been seen.

Ke Jianming didn't have any impression of the faces that the other party had just seen.

But it feels so familiar......

That somewhat dimly lit space...... It's so reassuring and warm......

He looked at Chen Shihu, who was sleeping soundly next to him.

I think of Aoyama, who has great ambitions, and Yuanshan, who wants to explore the truth.

I thought about myself again and thought about myself who would not feel sad because of death.

Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he recalled the taste of the dream he had just had.

He raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky outside the window, and his hand clenched the quilt.

A little thought in my heart.

(Me and all the people in this world...... are all different. οΌ‰

Jianming's mouth pursed slightly, obviously ...... I feel a little lonely.

Although Jianming didn't figure out what martial arts meant to him tonight.

But tonight he figured out the fact that he wasn't going to give up martial arts.

And he knows why he practices martial arts and why he fights..................

That will be a long, long time later.

........................

The next day, the arduous practice continued.

Wang Dazhu's big voice still hasn't faded, if you can, I really want to know how he usually maintains his throat.

"You bastards!! if you dare to stop, just wait for you to be fired!!!"

It is not possible to rest until the accumulation of fatty acids reaches its limit.

"Push-ups!! a set of 50 and 500 !!! at 10-minute intervals"

There was a tremendous pressure on my wrists, the dust on my clothes and trouser cuffs had clung to the ground, and the soreness in my wrists made me feel like I would never be able to get up again.

"Sit-ups!!! in pairs in groups of 100 in turns, for a total of 800!"

The abdominal muscles seemed to be torn, and even the hand holding the back of the head unconsciously used strength, and the spine seemed to become a part of the muscles.

"Stairs squat jump!!Give Lao Tzu ten times to and from the top floor of the hall!!"

In order to ensure that the knee will not be injured, the muscles of the thigh and calf can only be used with all their strength, and the intermittent back and forth force, explosiveness and endurance have been greatly improved.

Jianming was painful, but at the same time happy.

Living in the city, he had never had the opportunity to immerse himself in martial arts training every day.

He knew that if he could get over this wall, he would get stronger!

..................

And just like that, time passed quietly......

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since such days.

Before the midterm exams, many people had already left.

Some of those people have no reason to become stronger, and in the face of this high wall, they do not have the consciousness to climb over it, so they go home.

Lack of success, more than failure, retreat.

People are thrown into an unreasonable environment, when they feel that they are facing great difficulties.

You will choose the easy path, you will compromise, you will give up.

That's fine, anyway, that kind of person will definitely not be able to pass the exam, which can be regarded as saving effort and being self-aware.
