After the three returned to the village, they did not go to the vegetable garden, but went directly to Missionamore Wang's house. Pastor Wang told Xiangwen to close the door and return to the house. The furnishings in the house are very simple, facing the door is a table of eight immortals, two wooden chairs on the left and right, and an earthen kang against the east wall, and the wall inside the kang is pasted with a layer of newspaper. Wang climbed onto the kang, tore off a newspaper in the middle, exposed a hole in the wall, and took out a wooden plaque from it.
Blowing off the floating soil on the wooden card, placing the wooden card in the middle of the table, and taking out an incense burner with three pillars of incense from the drawer, lighting the incense and putting it in the incense burner, Wang Evangelist knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed three heads, and then stood up, looked at Wang Yongliang and Wang Xiangwen and said: "This is the tablet of my master Tianxuan Daoren, you kneel!"
The two did not hesitate, immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the tablet of Tianxuan Daoist, and then turned to Wang Preaching, Wang Yongliang called Master, and Xiangwen kowtowed three times together. I only heard the king preach: "You two generations are uncles and nephews, and you are brothers in love, after apprenticeship, you will be brothers again, you should help each other in the future, and you must not betray your brothers." Both said yes.
"Get up. ”
After seeing the two of them stand up, Pastor Wang told again: "Erliang can't call me master, it's better to call me grandpa." Anyway, it's just a title, and I just have it in my heart. Today's events must not be spoken, otherwise disaster may befall them. ”
Of course, Wang Yongliang knows that if this matter spreads, in this era, it is likely to be criticized as "feudal poison", and it is even possible to go to prison.
"Yes, grandpa, I won't say anything to anyone, not even my parents. ”
"Good. That's what smart kids are. Pastor Wang nodded approvingly. Then he sat down on the chair and said solemnly, "I will tell you about me and Master, and you must keep it in your hearts and don't spread it." After the two agreed, Pastor Wang pondered for a while, as if he was sorting out his thoughts and adjusting his emotions. Then, he told the bitter ...... of his past.
"I was born in 1928, and my parents were my son, and of course they loved me very much. When I was 6 years old, I went to school in a private school in the village. But the good times didn't last long, and when he was 8 years old, his parents died of illness one after another. Without relatives, I dropped out of school, because there was no elder discipline to discipline me, and I became a wild child who wandered around. Fortunately, the people in the village are kind, the east family gives a bite, and the west family eats a meal, and finally did not starve to death. When I was 10 years old, I was taken by a Taoist priest who said that I had a strange bone and an aura, so he took me as an apprentice. He is my master, Tianxuan Daoist. Speaking of this, Wang Yongliang found that there was a touch of reverence in Wang Pastor's eyes, as if he was recalling his master's voice and smile.
"Anyway, I didn't have a home, I didn't have any relatives, so I said goodbye to the villagers and started walking the rivers and lakes with Master. In the past few years, Master and I have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers north of the Yangtze River, and sometimes we have lived for several months on the mountains where there are Taoist temples. In the process of walking the rivers and lakes, Master passed on a set of Tai Chi boxing techniques to me. ”
Wang Yongliang was a little disappointed when he heard this: What is so strange about this? In his previous life, he had also practiced Chen's Taijiquan, and the teacher who taught him had won the runner-up in the provincial taijiquan competition, so he thought that he had practiced quite well, and he could also skillfully use the eight kinds of strength of this set of boxing techniques, such as "smashing", "squeezing", "pressing", "picking", "squeezing", "elbowing", and "leaning".
Don't wait for Wang Yongliang to think about it, just listen to Wang Evangelism and continue: "The popular Taijiquan method originated in Chenjiagou, W County, Henan Province, and can strengthen the body after long-term practice, but the ability to resist blows and attack is much weaker. However, this set of boxing methods passed down by the master originated from Wudang, and there is basically no difference between the popular Taijiquan boxing method, the difference is that the master also taught a set of qigong six-character formulas. Our set of boxing methods pays attention to the strength of the qi, the strength of the fist, the qi is the foundation, the strength is the end. As long as qigong is practiced, the power will be greatly increased, and it is definitely not comparable to just practicing tai chi. ”
"Ha, I have found a treasure!" Wang Yongliang, who was already a little disappointed, heard this, was already excited, although Wang Yongliang had not practiced qigong in his previous life, but he knew the importance of qigong, not to mention physical health and longevity, there is qigong and tai chi boxing, it cannot be said that he is not afraid to go all over the world, but it is definitely an indispensable weapon for the achievement of his career!
Just when Wang Yongliang's mood was agitated, he only heard Wang Evangelism continue: "After following the master for three years, my martial arts have made a little progress. But there is no comparison with Master. Master's martial arts are very high, and it can't be said that flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, but ordinary ten or eight people can't get close to him at all. We often robbed the rich and gave to the poor, punished the evil and promoted the good, and those days were happy. But by 1941, it was all over. Because the RB devils entered North China, they burned and killed, and did all kinds of evil, and the peaceful life of the common people was broken, and there was blood and tears everywhere. That summer, when Master and I were going to Taihang Mountain, and when we walked all the way to Gaoping County, we heard the screams of women and the wild laughter of men in a house. There was also a devil with a gun and laughing wildly, forcing an old man and an old woman to watch from the side. At this point, Pastor Wang's chest rose and fell sharply, and his eyes seemed to breathe fire.
"Grandpa, why don't you fuck him?!" Wang Yongliang and Xiangwen were also so angry that they gritted their teeth.
Pastor Wang looked at us, calmed down a bit, and said: "Master and I couldn't help it at that time, taking advantage of the devil's inattention, Master bullied the two devils who were doing evil, and they were killed in three or two clicks, and the devil who was watching also made me cut my throat with a sickle. ”
"Okay, good, it's really relieving!" Wang Yongliang and Xiangwen exclaimed happily.
"It's good, but the devil who heard the news didn't catch the two of us, but picked out all the family with bayonets!" At this, the three of them seemed to calm their anger and grieve for the tragic fate of that family.
After a moment of silence, Pastor Wang continued: "My master said that Taoism is to enter the world, not to be born. Whenever the world is in turmoil, there are always Taoists who come out to save the world. But when foreign nations invade our poor and backward country, when we grab foreign cannons with our bare hands, no matter how good our martial arts are, it will not help. Master said that RB people are jackal-minded, they have advanced weapons and a strong army, and in this case, personal martial arts are useless. In order to save the Chinese nation, it is necessary to join the anti-Japanese ranks, and all the people of the country must work together to drive out the RB people. So he was going to Taihang Mountain to join the Eighth Route Army. ”
"Why didn't you go?" asked Wang Yongliang strangely.
"I was only 13 years old that year, and the master said that I was too young, and said that he would not let me go with him, and that if there were three long and two short, our family would be broken. Therefore, he sent me to our village and repeatedly told me not to forget to practice, to get married, have children, and pass on the lineage, but it is best not to use martial arts lightly, so as not to make a big splash. ”
"Grandpa, what is your master's name, and how old is he?" Wang Yongliang asked with a move in his heart.
"His common name is Li Fengru, a native of Jingmen, Hubei Province, one round older than me (12 years old), if he is alive, he should be 62 years old this year. Wang Yongliang silently wrote down the name.
"Then I stayed in the village. During this period, he experienced the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and finally survived with his experience in walking the rivers and lakes and his martial arts foundation. In the year of liberation, I married a wife, gave birth to children, and my life was finally stable. My wife and I are very affectionate, she is not very good-looking, but she is very soft, at that time I thought everything was so beautiful, but the good times did not last long, Xiangwen and his father were three years old, she had emphysema and died. Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were filled with tears, and Wang Yongliang and Xiangwen were also embarrassed. But the two little kids, words of comfort can't be said.
"I am very sad that my wife has died, but I still have to live. I worked hard to pull Xiangwen's father until he was 18 years old and married him a daughter-in-law. The two of them are very affectionate, whether they work in the field or go to the market, the two are inseparable, as if they are glued together. God is also jealous of a good marriage, it doesn't make people live well. When Xiangwen was born, Xiangwen died of a mother's hemorrhage, Xiangwen's father was an amorous seed, and he couldn't wait to die with his daughter-in-law at that time. After his daughter-in-law died, Xiangwen and his father couldn't stand the blow and also collapsed, and his heart disease was difficult to treat, and he couldn't be saved by many doctors. ”
Speaking of this, the old man and Xiangwen were already in tears. Wang Yongliang said in his heart: "It seems that the old man and Xiangwen and his father are both amorous seeds, I wonder if Xiangwen will be like this in the future?" ”
Wiping a handful of tears, the old man said, "Okay, don't talk about it." Now let's talk about this exercise."
Hearing this, Wang Yongliang immediately felt a faint ...... of expectation in his heart.
