"If you want to succeed in martial arts, you must first have two points, one of which is to be able to endure hardships. Second, patience. These two points seem easy, but they are not easy. The hardships in martial arts training should not only pay attention to diligence, but also pay attention to perseverance, perseverance, no matter how difficult the conditions and environment, we must maintain a heart of martial arts. It is important to know that qualifications are important, but even if the talent is not very good, as long as you can endure hardships, you will have a small success in the end. But if you have good qualifications but don't know how to endure hardships, after practicing to the most, you won't even be able to count Xiaocheng. The most important thing is to learn to be patient. Martial arts training is a long process, and in this process, there can be no distracting thoughts, especially at the beginning, even a little distracting thoughts, which requires long-term psychological preparation. If you want me to take you as an apprentice, you must promise me one condition, which is to cut off all the people with whom you are in a relationship before I think you can become a teacher, remember, everyone, including your parents, your wife, and your children. If you can do that, I can consider taking you as an apprentice. I'll give you one night to think about it, and tomorrow morning, I'll wait for your reply. ”

At night, Wu Feng lay in a room vacated by the old man, with his hands on the back of his head, repeatedly thinking about what the old man told him during the day, he was very conflicted, he knew that the old man's apprenticeship conditions were very harsh, but he didn't expect the choice of the last man to be so difficult. Is it true that he gave up his lifelong relatives in order to learn martial arts? But if he was told to give up learning martial arts, he would not be reconciled. What to do?

Wu Feng pondered and thought repeatedly in his heart. Suddenly, on the night the old beggar left, the meaningful words came back to his ears: "If you can worship him as a teacher, it is a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes, and you must grasp it." ”

"That's right, you have to seize the opportunity when it comes, and if you give up now, decades later, you will definitely regret the choice you made today. Besides, it's not that you don't see your relatives for a lifetime, it's just temporary. ”

Thinking about it, the hesitation on Wu Feng's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes became more and more determined.

The next morning, Wu Feng got up very early, to be exact, he didn't sleep all night. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still couldn't calm down, and he always felt that he couldn't breathe because of a stone.

As soon as he walked out of the bedroom door, he saw that not far away, the old man was boxing in the courtyard, Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, and looked at it unconsciously.

I saw that the old man's hands sometimes used their palms, sometimes they changed to grasp, fast and slow, and the steps under their feet also followed the rhythmic operation of the boxing method, responding to each other before and after, giving people an indescribable sense of beauty. Beauty is beauty, but the speed is very slow, which reminds Wu Feng of the Tai Chi moves he saw in the movie.

Wu Feng has loved martial arts movies since he was a child, especially those martial arts movies made in Hong Kong, and he has watched almost every one. The fights in the movies usually give a very shocking aesthetic, powerful and powerful, and every punch is accompanied by the sound of a whistling wind. The old man's boxing technique is the opposite, it seems that every punch he throws does not have the slightest force, as if he is not boxing, but more like doing a very ordinary thing.

But it is such a set of boxing techniques, but Wu Feng is deeply fascinated, looking at it, Wu Feng found that his breathing seems to change with the old man's boxing technique, the old man's punching speed is fast, his breathing becomes rapid, the old man's punching is slow, his breathing becomes smooth.

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and Wu Feng kept standing at the door of the bedroom, maintaining the posture he had come, until the old man put it away, and Wu Feng came back to his senses.

The old man slowly retracted his fist, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and looked at Wu Feng with his eyes. Seeing the old man like this, Wu Feng was shocked again, quickly lowered his head, trotted to the old man, bowed his head and respectfully called the master.

"Hmm," the old man replied.

Wu Feng found that after fighting for such a long time, the old man's face was not red or panting, and there was no sweat on his skin, and he was still so white. Wu Feng couldn't help but wonder and said, "Master, what kind of punch are you fighting?"

The old man did not answer him, but diverted the subject: "How was it last night?"

Wu Feng was silent for a while, then raised his head sharply and looked at the old man firmly and said, "Master, I have thought about it, I want to learn kung fu from you." ”

Listening to Wu Feng's words, the old man didn't have any expression, just stroked his beard and nodded.

"Master" Wu Feng knelt down fiercely and said.

"Get up first" the old man's words did not have the slightest emotion, "I can't apprentice yet, if you want to really apprentice, you must first withstand my test, if you are qualified, I will officially accept you as an apprentice." ”

Wu Feng stood up, and there was no surprise in his heart, because the old beggar had already told him before he came.

"I haven't eaten yet, I'll tell you after I'm done. After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen, Wu Feng also hurriedly followed, and now he also felt a little hungry, no matter what kind of test, he always had to fill his stomach first.

"Boom, hula", Wu Feng poured a large bucket of water into the water tank. He put down the bucket and sat heavily on the ground, panting heavily, sweat running down his head. Now it's the hottest time of summer, and it's been two months since the apprenticeship, and of course, this is not the real apprenticeship, and the time has not yet passed the test.

The so-called test is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to do chores for the elderly, take care of food and housing, but there is no salary.

If it is really ordinary chores, such as laundry and cooking, serving tea and sweeping the floor, but the truth is not so simple. First of all, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to cook, and the old man's meal is very simple, basket cabbage, tofu and rice.

For a person who has been pampered since childhood, such a meal is clearly unappetizing. At the beginning, Wu Feng could still eat, but after a few days, he really lost his appetite at all. No matter how good your appetite is, you will lose your appetite for eating the same things every day, not to mention that the food is not very palatable. So Wu Feng proposed to the master to improve the food. But the master only said one sentence: "Those who practice martial arts must maintain a normal mentality, if you only think about food and clothing all day long, your state of mind will be polluted by these miscellaneous things, and you will not be able to maintain a normal mind." ”

Wu Feng wanted to say that he had to supplement something high in protein and fat, otherwise if he continued like this, he would not have the strength to work. But seeing the master's firm expression, he endured and endured, but he still didn't say anything.

If you want to talk about the food problem, the most unbearable thing for Wu Feng is that he has to carry a bucket to a small stream ten miles away every day to carry water. It was twenty miles back and forth, and it took several trips back and forth to fill the half-man-high water tank. In the evening, the master should boil water for a bath, use the water of a tank, and start lifting water again the next day.

Wu Feng now knows what the skin of the master is so white and healthy, and his feelings are to take a bath every day, but he doesn't understand who the master relied on to fetch water and boil water before he came. After fetching water, the rest of the work is to chop wood and clean the courtyard, which is much easier than carrying water.

It's just that after these days of getting along, Wu Feng found a very strange thing, that is, since the beginning of the garden, he has never seen the master change his clothes, and he has always been in that white clothes and white pants. What's even more strange is that after such a long time of not washing, the clothes look very clean. Once, Wu Feng couldn't help but ask the master why he never changed his clothes, and the master just told him that you would know the Tao in the future.

Since the master didn't let him change the washing, he was also happy and quiet.
