Chapter 57: The Strange Old Man
The ancients are also very good at self-promotion, from ancient times to the present, those who are good at pretending, playing awesome, and really funny people often do some things that ordinary people can't understand, some of them want to call themselves the way of heaven, and some of the people who travel abroad want to call themselves westward, I think the reason why they say this is entirely because these people really have no other excuse to be angry.
The scar man's name is Hua Xiang, and he is the coach invited by Qiangzi, and after revealing the details of his master, this guy told us in detail about the process of his acquaintance with his master.
It happened on an afternoon about four months ago, when Hua Xiang was just a well-known martial arts enthusiast, he had just seen the righteousness and courage to beat away a few gangsters who intended to molest women, just when he was about to develop a fate with the woman, the woman called the police, saying that the two of them had an awkward quarrel, and the younger brother and uncle followed the persuasion, but was beaten up by an inexplicable madman, Hua Xiang knew that it was a misunderstanding, and ran away without saying a word.
In the process of being chased by the police, Hua Xiang overturned countless trash cans, and then, he saw an old sanitation worker cleaning behind his buttocks, to his surprise, this old man seems to be good, you know, although Hua Xiang does not have any big means, but his physique is strong, some skills, and he runs very fast, otherwise the police will not be able to catch up with him, but this sanitation worker who followed his ass to pick up the trash can seems to be calm, his face is not red and he is not panting, It looks like a morning walk.
Hua Xiang is a martial artist, seeing this strange phenomenon, he simply didn't run away, but chatted with the old man sweeping the floor.
He asked the old man: "Gentleman, have you ever been a monk in Shaolin?" Are you a sweeper? ”
The old man replied indifferently to Hua Xiang: "You people here are like turtles, the speed is too slow. ”
Hua admired the five-body throw to the ground, and when he was just about to kowtow to the teacher, he was pressed to the ground by the police.
After going to the police station to record a confession and being detained for half a month, Hua Xiang finally regained his freedom, and after leaving the detention center, Hua Xiang came to Donghai Road for the first time and saw the strange old man again.
The old man was a depressed man, and he always showed a faint sadness.
Hua Xiang knows that these eight achievements are masters, this year is like this, an old man sweeps the road, his movements are elegant, refreshed, and he has nothing to do with the passers-by who litter, then this person must be a retired athlete, if this old man has an embarrassing beard, occasionally says a few inexplicable words, and it is best to show indifferent eyes from time to time, then this person must be a master of private interviews.
Hua Xiang was very smart, he felt that this old man was not simple, and if he recklessly apprenticed, he was likely to be rejected, so he changed his routine, went home and took a big broom to sweep the ground with the old man.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
On this morning, the old man seemed to be finally moved by Hua Xiang's sincerity, and he asked Hua Xiang coldly: "Young man, what are you doing here?" ”
Hua Xiang immediately showed a solemn look, and said to the old man respectfully: "Master, the younger generation wants to worship you as a teacher!" ”
The old man still remained calm: "If you want to sweep the streets these days, you can go directly to the sanitation and ask for help, I can't be the master." ”
Hua Xiang knew that this was the old man testing him, so he smiled slightly, stopped talking, and continued to sweep the floor with the old man.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the old man seemed to approve of Hua Xiang, and he became more unfathomable: "Boy, let me ask you something!" ”
Hua Xiang politely replied: "Master, please say, the younger generation knows everything!" ”
Old man: "You've been sweeping the floor here for about a week, can you tell me what I look like every morning?" ”
Hua Xiang thought of this question as a test of philosophical thinking at the first moment, and he pondered for a moment and responded: "Master, you are experiencing life every day!" ”
The old man immediately showed an impatient look: "I asked you what I was like in the morning, can you answer directly?" ”
Hua Xiang was a little at a loss, this time he didn't understand what the old man meant, he asked cautiously: "Master, what are you referring to?" ”
"Appearance, tone, habits, etc., you can summarize everything!" The old man was finally amused, and he pointed to his torso as if the body did not belong to him.
Hua Xiang was completely stunned, and said blankly: "Master, your appearance is no different from now, but what, in the morning you generally wear a vest, and in the afternoon it seems that there is a vacuum inside, what about the tone, in the morning you generally talk less, rarely make a sound, and the younger generation really doesn't see it in terms of habits, but the younger generation knows, master, you must be an indifferent person!" ”
After listening to Hua Xiang's words, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Boy, are you all like this here?" One in the morning, one in the afternoon? ”
Hua Xiang's brain is obviously not enough, he doesn't know what the old man is talking about, but on the contrary, the more inexplicable the old man speaks, the more he feels that the old man is profound, and the more firm his belief in worshipping him as a teacher.
Seeing that Hua Xiang was in a daze, the old man asked a few strange questions, such as where is this place, who is the lord of this world, and where is there enough spirits here, who are the old ladies who scolded him at home, and why a beautiful woman calls him Dad.
Hua Xiang was stunned for a long time, and after deciding that the old man was not joking, he replied helplessly: "Master, this is a coal city, the city conquers what it says, I don't know what the spirit you are talking about is the younger generation, but there are mountains in the east, the climate is better, the old lady you said is your daughter-in-law, and the beautiful one is most likely your daughter, master, do you want to educate me to understand the essence of life?" Two years ago, I went to a Taoist seminar, and they seemed to like to talk about the origin of living beings, the two poles of yin and yang. ”
The old man was also stunned for a moment, and after a long time he said: "Oh, it turned out to be that person's daughter-in-law and daughter, who almost died, by the way, are all of you people here the same?" ”
"Homogeneous?" Hua Xiang quickly understood this word as some kind of double cultivation exercise, and he shook his head solemnly: "Anyway, the juniors have never cultivated!" ”
The old man nodded and asked the next question: "What are you doing with me every day?" Is there any purpose? ”
Hua Yuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, kowtowing, and said seriously: "Ask the master to accept the younger generation as a disciple, and the younger generation must work hard to cultivate and glorify the master." ”
The old man thought for a moment, and was noncommittal, but put forward a condition: "You can help me find a daughter-in-law first, I can't touch that person's daughter-in-law, and the rabbit doesn't eat the grass next to the nest!" ”
Hua Xiang understood this sentence as a grievance of a wealthy family, although he couldn't understand why this kind of high-ranking person wanted him to help find Xiao San, but he still agreed.
The next morning, Hua Xiang met the old man again, but to his surprise, the old man seemed to have completely forgotten the events of the previous day, and this morning, the old man became silent again, ignoring him.
In the afternoon, the first thing the old man saw him was to ask where the woman was, although Hua Xiang said that he was ruthless and brave, but he was not a gangster who robbed and robbed, how could he say that he could find a woman? In desperation, he told the old man the truth, first, he must help to touch, and introduce the old man to the right one, second, if it really doesn't work, you can go to the marriage agency to fool around, and third, if you can't hold it back, he can take the old man to the east of the city to play for a night, but the consumption in that place is too high, and he will definitely not be able to afford to play like this all year round.
After getting Hua Xiang's promise, the old man asked Hua Xiang what exercises he wanted to learn: "Boy, what do you want to learn?" The exercises of our god clan are about five levels: God, Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, and I, I am young, and I have only practiced Xuan-level exercises, but I have practiced more than ten yellow-level exercises, including offensive spirit annihilation fingers, stumbling palms, and heart attack techniques, and defensive copper plate skills, and hegemonic body fist ......"
Hua Xiang drooled when he heard it, the old man said that the exercises were domineering just from the name, and at first glance it was not the kind sold by beggars on the street, Hua Xiang was born to fight, and always felt that the best attack was defense, so he proposed to learn from the old man.
The old man said a bunch of strange words, and asked Hua Xiang to read along, Hua Xiang really sat in the corner of the wall seriously, and read according to the old man's words.
Half an hour later, the old man shook his head regretfully, stopped muttering about Hua Xiang, and told Hua Xiang that he was not suitable for cultivating this skill, and asked him to choose another one.
Hua Xiang thought about it, this is probably the so-called chance, as the saying goes, some things are predestined, and they can't be forced, since he doesn't call with this awesome and shining exercise, and it's not good to waste time, so he proposed to cultivate the Spirit Destroying Finger.
After another half hour, the old man shook his head again.
Not suitable for cultivation? Hua Xiang had no choice but to choose the defensive trick Tongpangong, but ...... After another half hour, the old man sighed again.
Next, Hua Xiang began to try the heart attack technique, the body fist, and the divine healing technique......
In the evening, the old man had already passed on all the exercises to him, but unfortunately, the old man regretfully concluded that Hua Xiang could not resonate with all these exercises, that is, Hua Xiang had no possibility of cultivating these exercises at all.
Hua Yuan is not happy on the spot,, how to say that it took more than ten days, you say that it is not suitable, it is not suitable? I'm afraid that your old man is strong and has no real skills, right?
Seeing that Hua Xiang was disappointed, the old man didn't say much, turned around and left, but he didn't expect Hua Xiang to be unusually persistent, kneeling on the ground and hugging the old man's thigh and crying, which made people passing by nearby cast disgusted looks.
In desperation, the old man said to Hua Xiang: "Boy, I have already told you that I will, you can't cultivate, you can't blame me?" But we have to talk about it, you have to take your daughter-in-law's business seriously! ”
Hua Xiang first assured that the woman's affairs would never be reversed, and then asked the old man to think about whether there was any other trick.
The old man thought for a while, and said to Hua Xiang: "I have a practice here that is not suitable for us to practice, listen to my grandfather, this is a kind of evil demon method that he penetrated when he was at war with a wicked person, that monster called himself Jiang Lao Dao, so that a whip, extremely powerful, my grandfather is also a master, although our physique is not suitable for cultivating that kind of exercise, but the principle of its operation has been well understood, today I will pass on this set of exercises to you, whether you can learn it or not, it depends on your creation, this is also my last exercise, if you can't learn it." Let's go to the place where you said there are a lot of women! ”
Hua Xiangmu nodded, and then carefully wrote down every word the old man said.
Soon, the old man showed a surprised look, and Hua Xiang also felt a wonderful change in his body.
