Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Emphasis is on Martial Virtue
Zhang Jiujiu gritted his teeth and insisted, since the old man didn't say to stop, then he must continue. Zhang Jiujiu knew that this was an old man testing himself.
The third hour also passed. The old man walked over to the stone table. waved at Zhang Jiujiu and said, "Little friend, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Zhang Jiujiu." Zhang Jiujiu walked over, his legs trembling. The old man was also a little interesting, he asked Master Zhang Jiujiu's name yesterday, but he didn't ask his own name.
"Are you really willing to learn martial arts, or do you want to be fresh for a while?" The old man asked.
"I want to learn, but I don't have that much money. Martial arts gyms are charged. Zhang Jiujiu's slightly immature little face said with a slight smile.
"Then learn from me, I don't take your money. How much you can learn depends on your creation. The old man also said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master." Zhang Jiujiu saw that the old man agreed, so he quickly thanked him.
"Don't call Master yet. I can teach you, but it's up to you whether this master-apprentice relationship can be established. Martial arts training requires great perseverance, so let's talk about it if you can stick to it. I don't take straw bale apprentices. The old man rejected Zhang Jiujiu's title.
There is nothing wrong with teaching fist and foot kung fu, but it is not easy to learn from a teacher and get the true inheritance. In addition to having excellent roots, superior understanding, and suitable flexibility, it is also necessary to be able to persevere. The most important thing is the heart!
The old man just made Zhang Jiujiu an object that could be investigated. Zhang Jiujiu's flexibility, flexibility, and coordination are all good, and his understanding is also good. But this kind of mind can't be seen in a day or two.
"And what do I call you?" Zhang Jiujiu was not unhappy. Although he is young, he still knows a lot about the set of apprentices. When he was young, he was also called Dong Zhihua Uncle Dong, and when he was six years old, he officially worshiped his master and called his master.
"My name is Zhou Chuanxiong, I used to teach at the City Martial Arts Hall, and now I am retired. Just call me Teacher Zhou. If you want to learn martial arts from me, you must first agree to two conditions for me. Zhou Chuanxiong introduced himself. In fact, he was only teaching in the martial arts hall, and he was the former owner of the martial arts hall.
"What conditions?" Zhang Jiujiu asked anxiously.
"The first point is not to fight fiercely and bully men and women. Can you do it? Zhou Chuanxiong asked with a straight face.
"I can do it, people don't offend me, I don't offend people." Zhang Jiujiu changed the old man's rhetoric a little and replied.
"Hmm," Zhou Chuanxiong replied reluctantly. In fact, he is still very satisfied with Zhang Jiujiu's answer. If everyone bullies him, it is not the old man's style to fight back.
"The second point is not to seek fame, and not to look for people everywhere to challenge or grudge with others. Can you do it? Zhou Chuanxiong threw out the second request.
"No, it won't. I studied martial arts to keep fit. Zhang Jiujiu replied firmly. His health has not been very good since he was a child, and he often suffers from minor illnesses. When he was born, his mother passed away, lacked milk * water to feed, grew up drinking milk powder, and really lacked nutrition. This statement is also true.
Those who practice martial arts will be physically stronger than others, and they will have more advantages if they participate in fights and the like. Therefore, if a person wants to practice martial arts, this martial virtue is also the most important. You can't bully others, you can't bully the weak, and you can't hurt people at will. Those who practice martial arts must be tolerant of others.
"Martial arts, stop fighting for martial arts. Martial arts is the strength to stop fighting and stop fighting. Virtue, with benevolence and righteousness as the core concept, above, stop, and righteousness are the words and deeds of conduct. After listening to Zhang Jiujiu's answer, the old man began to teach Zhang Jiujiu a lesson.
"Martial virtue refers specifically to the code of conduct of those who practice martial arts with the characteristics of martial arts and benevolence and righteousness as the criterion." The old man continued.
"For those who practice martial arts, the first thing is to have martial virtues. The essence of martial virtue is also the principle of social justice, that is, justice, fairness, and justice, which is one of the oldest moral concepts of mankind. Have a broad mind, treat people with courtesy, do not hurt others with force, and do not bully the weak. "The old owner has also been a leader for many years, and the words on the scene will come as soon as he opens his mouth.
"We must keep not stealing fame, not taking profits, not being conservative, and being keen to help others; Respect the old and love the young, respect the teacher, do not bully the weak, forget the righteousness for the sake of profit, be disloyal and unfilial, and deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. Zhou Chuanxiong finished speaking in one breath, took the handbag, opened the kettle, and took a sip.
"Do you remember all of that?" Zhou Chuanxiong asked again.
"Teacher, I only remember a little." Zhang Jiujiu said slowly. I'm afraid that this Teacher Zhou will be angry.
"Just remember a little. I will understand it slowly in the future. In a word, you can't do bad things. "Zhou Chuanxiong didn't expect him to remember much." Let's go, let's come here without dinner in the morning. Take you to a bite to eat. ”
……
The next day, Zhang Jiujiu stood for more than two hours, and then Zhou Chuanxiong began to press his legs, kick his legs, and teach him how to breathe.
After ten days like this, Zhou Chuanxiong still didn't teach Zhang Jiujiu any moves, but only added some physical training. This period only started on the fourth day, and a little girl two years older than him practiced with him.
The little girl's name is Zhou Yun, she is Zhou Chuanxiong's granddaughter, and she was born to Zhou Lao's youngest son. Zhou Chuanxiong has many grandchildren. He rarely taught them. Looking at those grandchildren, his anger did not come to one place. They are pampered and can't endure hardship.
Zhou Yun actually didn't have much interest. However, her father was a soldier and threw her to her grandfather when she was very young. After her grandfather retired, he took her wherever he went. It wasn't until she went to school.
The reason why Zhang Jiujiu didn't see her a few days ago was because her aunt took her to the army to see her parents.
I don't know what the reason is, Zhou Yun doesn't look down on Zhang Jiujiu for a hundred times. Oppose him at every turn. As long as Grandpa can't see it, she will make trouble with him. Zhang Jiujiu couldn't move when he stood on the horse post, so she pinched his face from time to time, or kicked his leg and stomach.
Zhang Jiujiu could only endure it. Who let his teacher not let this little girl stand on the stake? Zhang Jiujiu gritted his teeth with hatred. In fact, the old man has long seen his granddaughter's behavior. But he just wouldn't say it. He thinks this is also a good way to exercise Zhang Jiujiu's will and heart.
When Zhang Jiujiu practiced the action of pressing and kicking, the little girl ran away. In fact, the little girl beat him, just to anger him. Zhou Yun has learned some moves and repeats training every day. Zhang Jiujiu, who watched it, was itching in his heart.
