Chapter 123: Apprenticeship?
Updated: 2013-01-21
Tang Ning, who was sweating profusely and his face was pale, got out of the car, walked quickly to the left front, four or five meters away, under the old banyan tree closest to him on the side of the road, and bent down to vomit.
There is also a chance of motion sickness. Similarly, people with motion sickness do not get dizzy every time they ride in the car. For example, if you are hungry and get dizzy in the car. When you're full, you're basically fine. After staying up all night, I will get dizzy when I take the car early the next morning. Drunk in the car is more dizzy. Tang Ning only ate two soup dumplings in the morning. It's a ride on an empty stomach. So this time he seemed to be dizzy more than ever, of course, it may be due to other reasons, such as entering the summer, the weather is hot, the temperature is rising, and so on.
But what made him depressed now was that he held the trunk of the tree with his hand and vomited in his throat for a long time. Abdominal cavity turned upside down, chest tightness, throat and eye congestion, plus dizziness, nausea, but I couldn't vomit anything. It seems like there's a lot of stuff stuck in the back of my throat. It's stuck there. It's useless to pick your fingers. It's just getting more and more disgusting. Truly this sin is not for man. Turning around, he sat down under the tree. Patting his dizzy head, rubbing his temples, a little bit of recovery.
He found that this motion sickness was like getting sick, and no vitality and spiritual power were useless. Vitality can strengthen the body, bones, organs, blood vessels, and meridians. Spiritual power, a natural force between heaven and earth, can remove impurities, return to the source, and make all parts of the body closer to purity. But now, all of these things have become decorations.
A glimpse of the whole leopard, because the principle of motion sickness is, on some levels, the same as illness. The symptoms are also extremely similar. So he understood it thoroughly. No matter how high the cultivation power is, it can't stop the demon of "disease." Mortals are mortals, whether they are simple martial artists or thaumaturgists who practice both martial arts and arts, they will not become gods just because of how powerful you are.
The frequency of his fingers increased, and he rubbed his temples vigorously and sighed. Damn, damn it! Why didn't you think to buy a few oranges before you got in the car? The juice from the orange peel is smeared on the tip of your nose to prevent motion sickness. I don't know how this little remedy works for others, but it works very well for Downing anyway. Forgetfulness. He suffered a lot of sins along the way.
"You...... Motion sickness?"
“…… Hmm!" Downing's voice was as small as a mosquito buzzing.
Zhou Yu walked up to him, holding back a smile, and looked at him with a joke in his eyes. Jiang Tao's face was expressionless, but the subtle arc that lifted off the corner of his mouth betrayed this cold and cool goods. Finding out that Downing was motion sickness seemed to be very happy for him.
"Motion sickness! Well, it's really uncomfortable! How is ......it? Da Neng, are you okay?" Zhou Yu bent his eyebrows, bent over, lowered his head, and turned his face over.
Tang Ning rubbed his temples with his fingers and gave him an angry look. "It's fine!"
"Are you alright?"
"Are you bothered? I said it's okay, it's okay, let's go!"
Get up from under the tree, lift your butt and walk away. In order to show that he is okay, he is not slow.
"Jiang boy, do you see it? This is a weakness and a flaw. If you want to make a move with Tang Daneng in the future, it is best to get him into the car first, race him for more than ten kilometers, and then you don't need to fight, you can poke him over with one finger. ”
"Despicable! hum...... But it's a good idea!"
Tang Ning, who was walking in front, stumbled, these two are really shameless!
The place where they got off was at the entrance to the town, with a long banner pulling on it. On the book "Chen Jiagou welcomes you" six big red characters. Passing through the main road under the banner, it is even if you enter the well-known Chenjiagou. The surroundings are lively and crowded. There was a lot of noise. Several people walked slowly through the crowd. Look around. They are also like the tourists around them who are pointing and taking pictures, and they have a fresh curiosity in their eyes. Seeing with your own eyes and hearing about it are completely different concepts. Echoing the impression in your mind, you can only feel the unique atmosphere of this place if you are in the place.
Although it is a town, it is very prosperous. It's just that there is more quaintness and less impetuousness in the bustle. The ancient style is very ancient. The long and endless pavement is paved with long strips of bluestone, and most of the surrounding buildings are old-fashioned houses, with an obvious Ming and Qing dynasty style. Pick beams and cornices, such as winged swallows, mottled red columns. The hollow carved window lattice portals and the glazed tiles reflecting the sunlight all seem to make people go back hundreds of years with time.
I didn't go far along the main road of the main street, about a few hundred meters, and saw a bronze sculpture with a square pedestal and a height of six or seven meters in a place similar to a square in the center of the town. The technique of the sculpture is not bad, the wrinkles of the figures, the hair, the folds of the clothes, the silks, and the strips are visible, all of which are lifelike. Under the sun, it is bright and shining.
The three of them stood side by side, looking up at the tall bronze statue. Tang Ning said: "This is probably Chen Wangting, the Tai Chi Grandmaster who single-handedly created Chen Jiagou, right?"
"It should be. Just look at the back. There should be a biographical briefing. After speaking, Zhou Yu took the lead and walked towards the back. Sure enough, as he said, the three of them went around to the back and saw the entire layout, engraved with hundreds of characters, all of which were upright and standard small letters. The year of birth and death of this senior master and some outstanding contributions and experiences are introduced.
After looking at it for a while, Zhou Yu touched his chin and said with a smile: "It's nothing! If it wasn't this old man Chen back then, but someone from me Zhou, then shouldn't this place be called Zhoujiagou?"
Jiang Tao nodded. said: "Well, the Zhou family's stinky ditch!"
Zhou Yu's face turned gray from the blow of this sentence. Pieces. jumped up, pointed at Jiang Tao's nose and scolded: "The surname Jiang, what's the matter, you want to fight?"
"Come on, I'm afraid of you? Whoever doesn't do it is the grandson!"
It's like a cockfight every day. It's not too boring. Tang Ning's headache thrust sideways between the two, separating the two of them. Pointing to the statue next to it. Said: "Wouldn't it be a shame to do it under the nose of his old man? Let's go, hurry up and find someone, maybe we can have a mixed meal." ”
"That's right. Zhou Yu put away his posture. Across Tang Ning, he raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Tao. "Boy Jiang, let's remember first, next time we must remove the two little tiger teeth in your mouth. Hum. ”
"Don't be ashamed, it's me who smashes your little white face!"
"What's the matter, my brother's face is raw, it's useless for you to be jealous. ”
"Ahh Chen Shimei is also white-faced. Wang Jingwei's face turned paler. A traitor, a traitor, a man who loves vanity and kills his wife and children, and in the end he is still a big traitor. You are like them, from ancient times to the present, all the white-faced guys have not been good, and each one is cheaper than the other. ”
"That's better than your Native American complexion!"
"Ignorance, hum...... It's called health. Bronzed, a girl's favorite!"
Downing burst out laughing. In this round of cockfighting, Zhou Yu was defeated!
Holding back his laughter, Tang Ning said, "Zhou boy, if you lose, don't be verbose." Hurry up and lead the way. I looked at Jiang Xiaozi, in case he was abducted by the little girl. After returning to Beijing, I couldn't explain to the scorpion girl of the Tao family. ”
"Tao scorpion girl, yes, how did I forget her. Zhou Yu excitedly slapped his hands fiercely at each other. glanced at Jiang Tao a few times with bad intentions. Humming triumphantly, he led the way in front of his head. Looking at Zhou Yude's back, Jiang Tao suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a bad premonition arose in his heart......
More than half an hour later, the sun was blazing overhead. Each of them has a large bottle of locally sourced water. Du Hot's face was flushed. Hiding in the shade in the corner of a storefront. Dumbfounded, he looked at the door of the mansion that covered a large area dozens of meters away.
Nearly 100 people sat on the ground staring at the scorching sun, despite their sweaty clothes. And most of them are young people, and there are many young people in their twenties. These people stared anxiously at the two closed vermilion gates. Although there are a lot of people, it is not chaotic and there is no noise. If you think of this world as a class, these people are very disciplined students.
"That's Chen Bo's home, so what's going on with these people?" Tang Ning unscrewed the cap of the bottle, poured a few large mouthfuls of water, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"I asked a lot of people, and they all said it was here...... There shouldn't be a mistake, but what are these people gathering here for? Sit-in, demonstration, have the Chen family offended people?" Zhou Yu also followed the example of those people and simply sat on the ground. Holding his chin in his hand, he was thinking.
Jiang Tao sat on his right heel with his left arm on his left knee, squatted there and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I have an idea or a guess, I don't know if it's right." ”
"Tell me about it. Downing turned his head to look at him.
Jiang Tao stood up, took a small step forward, and pointed to the people in front of him: "They are here to apprentice!"
"What?"
"Apprenticeship...... Burst...... cough cough...... "The mouthful of water that Zhou Yu just poured almost choked on his throat. He choked on his chest and coughed for a long time before he could breathe a sigh of relief. Glaring, he made a fuss and said, "Apprenticeship? What age are you now, and you still want to apprentice like this? These people have their heads caught in the door or have they been kicked by donkeys? Hey, Tang Ning, why are you going?"
Tang Ning, who had already walked out seven or eight meters, turned around and said, "I think Jiang Boy may not be wrong." Just ask. ”
After a while, Tang Ning walked up to a young man who was sitting cross-legged, bald, with bulging muscles, and a shirtless body, squatted down, and asked with a smile: "This big brother, excuse me." May I ask you guys who are here?"
The young man with a big waist and a round body glanced back at Tang Ning, and said in a humble voice: "Nonsense, of course, I want to worship the Chen family to learn martial arts and practice boxing." You're not, so what are you doing here?"
"Is it really an apprentice?, these are?" Tang Ning asked with a stunned gaze, pointing to the person in front of him.
"Not only that, but more at night. I'm from the Northeast. It's been three days since I got here, but ...... Alas, until now, I haven't even seen the face of the Chen family. But!" the young man's eyes were full of perseverance, and he said: "As long as you can worship under the Chen family and learn authentic Taijiquan, not to mention that it is only three days, it is worth sitting here and waiting for three months." ”
"Hah...... Big brother is so persevering, admire, good luck!" Tang Ning got up to leave, walked a few steps, couldn't help but look back at the young man, and said in his heart: "Just your body." Learning Tai Chi is a waste! Learning the Thirteen Taibao Heng Lian is almost the same as the Golden Bell Jar!"[(m)無彈薱讀]
