Chapter 425: Chen Dangsheng's half master
The next morning!
On a remote grassland in the Jiangnan family, Chen Houde, Chen Dali and Chen Dangsheng, father and son, were standing there practicing Taijiquan.
In the past half month, Chen Houde, Chen Dali and Chen Dangsheng, father and son, can be seen practicing Tai Chi here every morning.
Since Chen Houde's parents lived in the Jiangnan family, Chen Houde's work and rest have become relatively normal.
After Chen Dangsheng finished performing the last Tai Chi, he gathered his momentum and stood still, and asked Dali: "Dali, you are going to move to Sisi's house today, right?"
"Hmm!" nodded vigorously, and said with a humble face: "Mr. Xia asked me to move in, saying that it was convenient to go to work." ”
Chen Houde had already told his parents about joining the Fu family, but what he said was that he worked in Fu Yashijia's company, and Chen Houde's parents were very happy when they saw that they were working hard.
"Then I'll take you to Graceland after breakfast. Chen Houde also stood still and said slowly.
"Brother, no! Mr. Xia arranged for a car to pick me up. He grinned vigorously at Chen Houde.
"You have to be diligent in living in other people's homes, you know?" Chen Dangsheng instructed.
"Well, got it. ”
………………
Thirty minutes later!
Chen Houde left the Jiangnan family after sending him off, and as soon as he returned to the house, Chen Dangsheng walked up with a shabby, yellowed note.
Chen Dangsheng handed the note to Chen Houde and asked, "Do you know here?"
Chen Houde glanced at Chen Dangsheng suspiciously, then took the note and looked at it, only to see that it was vaguely written: Second Street, East Lane, Renmin Road, Huangpu District, Shencheng City. It is no longer clear how many numbers are behind, and only one three words can be seen.
"Dad, where is this?" Chen Houde looked at Chen Dangsheng in confusion.
"Is there such a place?" Chen Dangsheng replied.
"Yes, this is in Huangpu District! We're in Yangpu District. Chen Houde opened his mouth to explain.
"Then you can drive me there. Chen Dangsheng hesitated for a moment and said.
"No, where did you get this address? Dad, have you been to Shencheng before?" Chen Houde looked at Chen Dangsheng curiously.
"It was left to me by the old man who taught me Tai Chi before he left, saying that if he had the opportunity to come to Shencheng, he could go to him. This old man is half my master, so I didn't come to Shencheng, so I wanted to go over and visit his old man's house. Chen Dangsheng explained.
"Ah!" Chen Houde was stunned for a moment, and then said incredulously: "How many years have passed since this? Not to mention that this old man is still not there, I'm afraid this address may not even exist." ”
"Yes, you were only two years old that year, and now you are twenty-two, and twenty years have passed, but since you have come to Shencheng, you should go over and take a look, it is a matter of my mind. Chen Dangsheng said with some sadness.
Seeing this, Chen Houde nodded and said, "Okay, when do you want to go?"
"Now, your mother has just returned to her room to rest after breakfast, and we will go early and return early. Chen Dangsheng proposed.
"Okay, let's go. ”
………………
Forty minutes later!
Chen Houde drove the Chevrolet Cruze to the second street of East Lane of Renmin Road in Huangpu District, which is the old town of Huangpu District, surrounded by high-rise buildings and slightly dim.
Chen Houde parked the car and took Chen Dangsheng to the second street, because this is the old city, which is said to be the second street, which is simply an old-fashioned alley, and the car can't drive in.
As soon as Chen Houde walked into the second street, looking at the dilapidated alleys inside, bluestone, black tiles, gray walls, and mottled mud walls, he felt far away from the prosperity.
Compared with the towering buildings around it, Second Street resembles a widowed old man standing in the midst of youthful youth, which is both an eyesore and a little out of place.
"Dad, do you remember what the number is?" Chen Houde looked at the second street, where the whole street was full of low-rise bungalows and each household had a small courtyard, and turned his head to Chen Dangsheng and asked. In Shencheng, a place where every inch of land is valuable, having a courtyard can be described as extremely luxurious.
Chen Houde couldn't help but think in his heart that this "Second Street" must be extraordinary, and it can stand until now, and it has not been developed, which can be seen to be extraordinary.
"I just remember a three-word and forgot the thirty-odd number. Chen Dangsheng thought hard and replied.
"This is Second Street, can't every house knock on the door and ask?" Chen Houde was a little helpless, and then asked, "By the way, what is the name of the old man?"
"This ...... Think about it. Chen Dangsheng frowned, came over for a while, and said, "Jiang Manyun, it seems to be this name." ”
"Are you looking for Lao Jiang, the old immortal?" Chen Dangsheng spoke, and suddenly a hoarse voice came from behind him.
Chen Houde and Chen Dangsheng were startled when they heard this, and turned their heads at the same time, only to see that an old man with a sixtieth birthday was walking slowly towards this side with a pair of crutches and his body behind them.
"Hello old man, do you know Jiang Manyun?" Chen Dangsheng asked with joy on his face.
The old man raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Dangsheng and Chen Houde, and dropped a sentence: "He lives in Courtyard No. 38." Then he walked past Chen Dangsheng on crutches.
"Thank you! Chen Dangsheng smiled kindly at the old man.
"It seems that this Jiang Manyun is quite famous, and this can be inquired about for us. Chen Houde smiled happily, and then said to Chen Dangsheng: "Dad, let's go, meet my master." ”
"Do you know how to be polite? Do you just go to visit empty-handed?" Chen Dangsheng reprimanded.
Chen Houde was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "I forgot, I forgot, I'll go buy some gifts now." ”
"I'd better go, you wait for me here. Chen Dangsheng dropped these words, and before Chen Houde could react, he walked towards the outside of the alley.
"Did you bring any money?" Chen Houde shouted at Chen Dangsheng.
"Bring it!"
As soon as Chen Dangsheng disappeared at the mouth of the alley, Chen Houde wanted to go back to the car and wait, but unfortunately after thinking about it, he didn't know where the No. 38 courtyard was, so he immediately walked to the depths of the second street alley, wanting to see where the No. 38 courtyard was.
Five minutes later!
Chen Houde followed the house number on the low bungalow and finally found the courtyard of No. 38.
This courtyard is no different from the other courtyards here, with a large wooden door in front of the door, which has been worn out by time, and a pair of smooth iron rings hang on the door, proving that it is inhabited.
The only difference is that there are a few heather branches in the courtyard of No. 38 that pass out of the courtyard, indicating that there is a heather tree planted in the courtyard.
At this time, the gate of the No. 38 courtyard was slightly covered, leaving a gap two fingers wide, Chen Houde found the No. 38 courtyard, and wanted to leave, but unfortunately his eyes skimmed the gate, and through the gap, he saw a figure passing by in the courtyard.
Chen Houde was curious for a moment, so he stepped on the two stone steps at the door, came to the door, and looked inside through the gap in the door.
The courtyard is paved with stone bricks, a heather tree is planted in the middle, a bamboo rattan chair for the elderly is placed under the tree, and two water tanks are placed under the fence on the right, which is the layout of the whole courtyard.
At this time, in the courtyard, an old man with a childish face and crane hair, a thin body, and a goatee was playing a set of boxing techniques.
Chen Houde looked at it, and the old man's boxing method was very similar to Taijiquan, but it was different when he looked closely.
Taijiquan pays attention to both rigidity and softness, overcoming rigidity with softness, and dialing thousands of catties in four or two, but this set of boxing methods played by the old man is strong and brave, magnificent, quite a tiger descending the mountain, and it is also as fast as lightning, and the wind is galloping.
Although there are Tai Chi moves, it doesn't look like Tai Chi at all.
Chen Houde was fascinated by it for a while, and he couldn't help but guess that this might be the Jiang Manyun his father said.
Chen Houde guessed correctly, this old man was the half master Jiang Manyun that Chen Dangsheng said.
If Xiahou Wu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person as Taiji Jiang Manyun.
Once Xiahou Wu said to Chen Houde and Hong Tianming that there were three people in Shencheng who could fight three thousand emperors with one hand, and Wang Qingcang, the master of the Hongmen Gate who pushed the thirteen continents with both palms, was comparable to the world's masters.
And this Jiang Manyun is one of them, and the remaining two are the wine fairy Du Kang, a master of Longhua Ancient Temple, but these three masters are the oldest in Taiji Jiang Manyun.
