Chapter 82: Master and Apprentice
"Isn't it Xingyi Fist?" Su Mo felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Even if you want to learn Xingyi Boxing, I won't teach it! First, you are past your age, your bones are closed, and now it's too late to learn Xingyi Boxing, at most you can learn a fur, and you can't become a master, and secondly, Xingyi Quan is not only hard to learn, but also needs the master to guide you from time to time, will you be willing to endure hardships with me? "The old man doesn't have a good air.
"And what are you going to teach me?" Su Mo said curiously.
"Hmph, what I'm going to teach you is also an inner family method, or qigong!" The old man suddenly looked like a peerless master, and his mysterious expression made Su Mo's heart beat violently.
"This is the legendary and famous Taoist Twelve Duanjin!"
Yes?! Su Mo fell from heaven to hell in an instant, twelve duanjin? Please, as long as you search the Internet casually, there are many teaching videos of Baduanjin and Twelve Duanjin, this old man can't be a liar!
The old man knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Su Mo's expression, and snorted coldly: "You baby knows a fart!" Those Twelve Duan Jin outside didn't know how to do it at all, because they didn't know the real Qi Channeling Acupoint Technique! It's already great that the effect can have two or three achievements, and I'm one of the real Twelve Duan Jin Descendants! ”
"Eh, aren't you the descendant of Xingyi Fist?" Su Mo cautiously reminded on the side, for fear of angering this old man who was full of dirty words and had a violent personality.
"They say you're ignorant! I can't hide two arts! I did practice Xingyiquan, but when I traveled around the country as a teenager, it was a time when the world was in turmoil, and the new Huaxia was not established, once in Beihu was plotted by a traitor, and was saved by my master, and he saw that I was talented and taught me the real Taoist Twelve Duanjin, and also warned me to pass on this kung fu, but I can't teach more than two people in my life, so others don't know my other identity at all! The old man said proudly.
Su Mo suddenly realized something like listening to a legend, and asked: "You said that when you were a teenager, New Huaxia had not yet been established, this, dare to ask you how long you are this year?" ”
The old man smiled: "I'm eighty and three this year!" ”
Su Mo's eyes widened, this old man looked like he was sixty, who knew that he was already over eighty years old, could it be because of his practice?! Su Mo's heart became hot again, and he flattered: "The old man really doesn't look old at all, is it the effect of your practice?" ”
"That's natural, the twelve duanjin I practiced was originally a health preservation technique, I think my master died at the age of one hundred and one, and my senior brother left when he was ninety-five years old, my senior brother you know, it is the famous general General Yu Ren!"
"Wait, you said that the famous anti-Japanese Confucian General Ren is your senior brother?!" Su Mo was even more surprised, this Yu Ren is not only a famous Confucian general, but also a famous calligrapher and educator, although he retreated to the treasure island, but his virtue is well-known in the Chinese world, such a virtuous senior, his junior brother is sitting in front of him!
"Yes, my senior brother is famous, but I am a nobody, and others don't believe it," the old man sighed, "But the rules of the sect are like this, each generation will find two disciples to pass on the gong, and the two of them have a static personality, so that even if one of them dies unexpectedly, it will not break the inheritance, to tell you the truth, ten years ago, I have already passed on the merits of one person, and now I want you to be my closed disciple, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
Su Mo looked at the old man Zhang Shenxiu's earnest expression, and couldn't think of what he would do to himself, gritting his teeth, Su Mo knelt straight in front of the old man and said, "Disciple Su Mo, kowtow to the master!" ”
After saying that, I really kowtowed three times.
Zhang Shenxiu was relieved, pinched his beard and said with a smile: "Since you are willing to enter my door, then it is only natural for me to pass on your secret skills, without further ado, let's start immediately!" ”
"Ah, this begins?!" Su Mo couldn't keep up with the old man's rhythm, this practice of magic skills or something, you can't clean yourself and burn incense, go on a hunger strike for three days, etc?!。
"Nonsense!" The old man was dumbfounded, "Hurry up, sit cross-legged, and your heart is facing the sky!" ”
Su Mo couldn't care about it, and sat cross-legged on the ground, while the old man stood up and corrected his posture, and then said: "This authentic Twelve Duanjin is not a fighting technique, but a self-cultivation technique, each generation will have two disciples, one of them likes to be quiet, and the other is happy, a literati like you who is full of poetry and books is actually the most suitable candidate for this exercise, and a martial artist like me will have a worse effect when practiced, and your senior brother is the same!" ”
"Who is Senior Brother?"
"Your senior brother is a soldier, you will meet in the future," the old man smiled, "The most important thing in this exercise is to meditate and conduct qi acupoints, now, you close your eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts in your mind, forget about things and me, and let the qi sink into the dantian!" ”
Su Mo did so, controlling the rhythm of his breathing, and relaxed, maybe he was really this piece of material, and after a while, the old man was pleasantly surprised to find that Su Mo was settled.
"What do you think of the dantian now?" The old man whispered in Su Mo's ear.
"It's a little hot, it's a little swollen"
"Okay, this is Qi Gathering, now I'm going to help you conduct Qi for the first time, you remember the route!"
The old man said, his thumb pressed on the Tianshu acupoint on Su Mo's abdomen, Su Mo only felt that the heat flow of the dantian immediately flowed down the old man's fingers, and then, the old man pressed eleven acupoints on the front and north of Su Mo's body and his head in a row.
"Your qi runs these twelve acupoints in one circle for a week, and then I will continue to guide your qi twice, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shenxiu used his fingers to guide Su Mo's qi acupoints twice, so that his body formed inertia, and it seemed like a simple thing, but the old man was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting.
After three weeks, Su Mo slowly dispersed his efforts, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Zhang Shenxiu was tired and old, and a warm current surged in his heart, this was the first time in his two lives that he felt the love from his elders.
His nose was sore, so he quickly helped the master to sit down and poured him a glass of water.
The old man poured a sip of water and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am really old, I have been fighting and killing all these years, even if I have cultivated the Twelve Duanjin, I can't make up for it, and I don't know if I can go through that hurdle next year!" ”
Next year, Zhang Shenxiu will be eighty-four years old, according to the Chinese tradition, "seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Hades does not call himself to go", these are the two hurdles for every old man, because one of the two saints of Confucius and Mencius died at seventy-three, and the other died at eighty-four.
Su Mo comforted: "Master, your body is so strong, you will definitely live a long life!" ”
The old man waved his hand and said with a straight face: "I have finished teaching you, and then I want you to promise me two things!" ”
"Master, just say it!"
"First, you must not do the bad things that hurt the heavens and reason, and you must maintain righteousness in your heart when you practice this skill!"
Su Mo nodded heavily and said, "Master, don't worry, the disciple will definitely behave and do things according to his own conscience!" ”
Zhang Shenxiu snorted and said, "The second thing is a little difficult, I want you to swear that this exercise cannot be taught to your relatives and descendants!" When you have practiced, you can choose two suitable strangers to pass on the gong after the age of fifty, and I have already told you the standard! Can you do it! ”
"Huh?" Su Mo couldn't believe that there was such a strange rule, and he still thought that he would accept the eldest lady as a disciple tomorrow.
The old man sighed: "Back then, my master also forced me to make this poisonous oath, and only in this way would I not let this exercise become a family heirloom of a certain family name, otherwise I would have passed it on to my children and grandchildren, and it would have been your turn?!" Now it's your turn, do you say yes?! ”
The old man said, his eyes blazing, and his beard and hair open.
Su Mo was helpless, raised three fingers and swore to the sky: "I, Su Mo, swear to the sky, if I disobey the master's order, I will be punished by heaven, and I will not die well!! ”
Hearing this, the old man's gaze softened and said, "Okay, I've wronged you." Also, this exercise only needs to be practiced for an hour every day, I am from 6 to 7 o'clock in the morning every day, but I think my senior brother's time is more suitable for you, he is from 4 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon every day, remember, this exercise is not arrogant and rash, and if you persist every day, you will get something! ”
"Disciple knows!" Su Mo responded.
"That's good, in that case, I'll go, and I have to catch the car back to Nanhai at night!" The old man stood up with a smile.
Su Mo was shocked, stopped him and said, "Master's kindness Su Mo has not yet repaid it!" You live with me, and I will honor you! ”
"No need, I have hands and feet, food and clothing, what do you want to honor!" The old man shook his head.
"Then you don't have to be in such a hurry to leave, at least let the disciple lead you to visit the scenery of the Demon Capital, and bring some souvenirs back!"
"Magic City? At the time of the Battle of Songhu, Lao Tzu was also a soldier, my brothers...... Alas, don't talk about it, there's nothing to visit in the sad place" Zhang Shenxiu suddenly sighed a little, and then glared at Su Mo and said, "Also a specialty?!" Is Lao Tzu coveting your possessions by passing on his merits to you? ”
"No, no, no, the disciple definitely didn't mean that!"
"That's not it, I'd better hurry up, I won't be able to catch the car any later!" The old man said, looking at his watch.
Su Mo really had nothing to do with this cute and stubborn old man, and finally said, "Then let me send you to the station headquarters!" ”
"That's fine," the old man finally agreed.
Su Mo was overjoyed, hurriedly went downstairs with the old man, and drove him to the train station.
When he arrived at the train station, Su Mo asked the master to sit down, and then bought him a first-class ticket, which was originally without a ticket, but the conductor happened to be his fan, so he squeezed out one for him.
Master, the privilege of using fame is not counted as a traitor!
"Master, this is your ticket, and this is the fruit you bought, you can eat it on the way!" Su Mo handed the thing to Zhang Shenxiu and said with a smile.
The old man took it and nodded.
Su Mo said again: "You leave me the address, and I will visit me during the New Year."
The old man shook his head this time: "After passing on the gong, the fate of you and me is over, you don't have to come to see me!" ”
This stubborn old man!
Su Mo was speechless, took out a business card, and said: "This is the contact information of the disciple, you take it, please do it, you must call me if you have something in the future!" ”
The old man glanced at him, accepted it silently, paused for a moment, and said, "You go, old man, I have shallow eye sockets, I can't stand this kind of scene the most, hurry up!" ”
Some people, even on the first day of meeting, will cherish each other.
Su Mo's face changed a few times, and finally said, "Okay, then I'll go, you must take care!" ”
The old man didn't look at him, and nodded slowly.
Su Mo shook his head and turned to leave, at this time, the old man suddenly stopped him, and then smoothed the corners of his clothes behind him, and said, "Let's go, let's go!" ”
Su Mo's face moved, bowed to him, and disappeared into the crowd.
Forty minutes later, the old man left in the car, and Su Mo watched the back of him leaving not far away, after the incident, he turned around and left, but he didn't take two steps, as if he noticed something abnormal, he took out his trouser pocket and looked at it, and was stunned.
It was the five thousand dollars he secretly put into the bottom of the fruit bag......
