Chapter 9: Teaching and Girls

However, no matter how much perseverance a person has, he also needs his body as the foundation, as his legs became weak, Xu Hunxian sat on the ground with a "snap", even if his perseverance was high and he didn't have enough foundation, he still couldn't last long.

"Sit down, stretch your legs over to me." Seeing Xu Hunxian falling, the old man smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth, walked to his side, and was not polite, squatting down and grabbing his legs.

"It's good, my leg is already cramping, proving that you're really at your limit. I thought it would be good if you could hold on for six or seven minutes, but I didn't expect you to be quite tough, and you lasted for ten minutes. It's not just a test of your physique, it's also a test of your perseverance, but it didn't disappoint me. After massaging the veins and acupoints of the legs for a few minutes, soon, the legs regained their intuition, and seeing Xu Hunxian's eyes shining, the old man said proudly: "How about it, do you want to learn this technique?" ”

Xu Hunxian paused slightly, and then was full of joy: "Well, I really want to." ”

Generally in South Korea, some superb skills will not be easily passed on, some are even passed on from generation to generation, and some would rather be lost than passed on to outsiders, although the old man's technique is not considered top secret, but it is very practical, and ordinary people do not know the way, even a child like Xu Hunxian understands this truth, no wonder he is so happy.

The old man didn't care, and then said: "That's good, follow me in the future, you will not only learn martial arts, but also teach you some Chinese medicine and massage methods, how much you can learn depends on yourself." ”

It's easy to say, but in the old man's heart, he already has the idea of imparting what he has learned all his life, and if he started to move his mind, then now, he is making up his mind.

He is not an unenlightened person, otherwise he would not marry a wife and have children in South Korea, what he values is Xu Hunxian's character. There is an old Chinese saying that when you are three years old, you see the old, and with his decades of experience, he believes in his own vision.

Xu Hunxian was even more excited, he already understood what the old man meant, and he didn't doubt the old man anymore in his heart, so he hurriedly said, "Master Xie Luxie." ”

It's not enough to say it, but it's already started to bow down in action, so I learned a little bit of Chinese culture with Xu's mother, which I still understand, but it's a pity that there is a missing part of the tea ceremony.

It's just that he only bowed halfway down, and was dragged by the old man: "There is no need to apprentice, let's call me Grandpa Li." I just saw that you were not bad, so I wanted to teach you something, and those clichΓ©s were avoided, and it was annoying to watch. ”

Then, standing on the side, he said: "Teach you a little Luohan boxing first, and then practice diligently at home in the future, don't slack off." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xu Hunxian, and started to fight by himself, while Xu Hunxian was drawing a scoop on the side of the gourd.

Luohan boxing is divided into congenital eighteen hands and acquired one hundred and eighty hands, and taught to Xu Hunxian, is the congenital Luohan boxing, that is, its starting eighteen hands, is the orthodox patriarchal law of Shaolin masters, the law stops eighteen hands, the essence of the collection, does not lose its truth, and also teaches some Buddhism Zen when teaching.

In all the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, Zen is the foundation of cultivation, and the Bodhidharma Patriarch once had a Zen cloud: "Do not set up words, don't teach outside the teaching, point directly to the hearts of the people, and become a Buddha by seeing nature." Therefore, the method taught by the old man was that he was playing on the side, while Xu Hunxian was learning and comprehending at the same time, first learning its form, and then understanding its meaning.

"Boxing focuses on flexible footwork, fast and accurate; There are eight types of boxing, that is, punching, playing, pecking, splitting, sweeping, squeezing, hooking, and ringing; Footwork has up, down, forward, retreat, stealing, sweeping, flashing, swinging; Footwork includes kicking, kicking, brake foot, front leg pulling, back leg pulling, etc. After talking about Zen Buddhism, the old man began to talk about the essence of boxing again, not to let Xu Hunxian understand and remember it at once, but to let him understand a little.

Before and after, the old man beat Luohan Boxing more than a dozen times, and then began to guide Xu Hunxian to practice step by step, correcting the irregularities.

Fortunately, Xu Hunxian's learning talent is relatively good, although it is in vain, but it can be regarded as presentable.

After the Luohan boxing, the old man took him to a wooden stake and began to let him practice pile gong. Standing piles are the same as squatting horse steps, which can make the spirit and divine power sufficient, and can make the lower plate stable, and the plum blossom pile of Shaolin is a unique Chinese martial arts.

The two-hour martial arts practice passed quickly, and when he left, the old man brought a bowl of soup and said to Xu Hunxian: "This is the medicinal food I asked you to boil, you drink it, it is good for your body, take a hot bath and rest well after you go back, don't forget it tomorrow." ”

Xu Hunxian was not polite, knowing that the old man was doing this for his own good, he took the bowl and drank it in three or two sips, and then thanked: "Thank you, Grandpa Li." As he spoke, he bowed deeply. As someone I've only known for a short time, it's really rare to be able to do this.

"Don't be this little daughter gesture, hurry up and go back." Turning around, and waving his hand slowly, the old man walked into the house, for which he did not pay any attention to it.

Xu Hunxian was really tired today, especially the martial arts he practiced in the afternoon, because he had never dabbled in it, he looked extremely tired.

"Where did you go in the afternoon, how did you see your bag and didn't see your people?" As soon as he arrived home, Xu Hunxian was caught by Xu's mother.

"I went to an old man to practice martial arts, he taught me a lot of things, and it was very useful." Now, Xu Hunxian's state at this time feels very excited, no, he is excited, and his body is tired, but such a wonderful thing happened to him, and it feels incredible when he thinks about it.

"Oh? Who is he? Do you know him? Where to stay? What is it for? Xu's mother didn't have the excitement of her son, but was very worried.

may have realized that his mother's tone was serious, and Xu Hunxian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told the old man everything.

After hearing this, Mother Xu breathed a long sigh of relief and completely relieved herself: "It turned out to be him, no wonder." Since it is that senior, does Hunxian want to follow him to learn the Tao of Zhilu in the future? ”

For South Korea, a very xenophobic country, it is very difficult for foreigners to be respected by the locals, and it is conceivable what the status of the elderly is in the local area, so Xu's mother solemnly instructed Xu Hunxian.

"If you know the truth, you can rest assured." Xu Hunxian also immediately guaranteed that this guarantee was not forced, but his own original idea, such an opportunity would be gone in the past.

"Okay, let's go take a shower, I sweat so much, and I don't know if it's dirty." Mother Xu returned to her previous tone: "Also, move quickly, it's not too early, and dinner is coming soon." ”

"Know, Oma." Xu Hunxian's answer was a little weak.

After dinner, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and because he had to practice martial arts in the afternoon, his reading time was greatly shortened, and he could only spare a little time in the evening, and besides, it was put into the usual school time.

Those homework, he has no pressure, that is, a matter of ten minutes, the key is to spend more time in school in the future to supplement the time for martial arts training, which must be coordinated because he doesn't want to give up.

Fortunately, there is enough time for him to squander now, primary school is good, the course is not tiring at all, and the usual classes are less learning and more entertainment, which is very relaxed. But when it comes to middle school and high school, it will be miserable, not only will the amount of classes in school gradually increase, but families will also put a steady stream of pressure on students, which will continue until the end of the college entrance examination, of course, when it comes to college, it is a different matter.

Finally, when the time for going to bed was up, Xu Hunxian fell on the bed, took off his clothes indiscriminately, covered the quilt and fell asleep.

He is so tired, more tired than ever before, and the amount of exercise is not at the same level, but fortunately, with that bowl of medicinal food, there is no soreness in the body, Chinese medicine is magical.

It's a new day, Xu Hunxian got up very early, yesterday's medicinal diet was really useful, and now he is full of energy, as if he has rested for a period of time and his body is very sufficient.

The exercise in the morning was also different from usual, not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in speed and strength, but it was not tiring, and it didn't take long to recover.

"Don't look relaxed, this is just the first day, let you go first, and you will suffer later." Seeing Xu Hunxian's unfinished face, the old man straightened his face and gave a serious lesson.

Sure enough, the next morning, the torture began, not only the weight on the calves, but also the two arms with 10 pounds of things tied back and forth, a run for half an hour, only a pitiful rest, and just let the arms relax.

Even if he didn't run, he stood on one foot and raised the other for ten minutes on each foot, and in short, in this cruel practice, the morning passed.

After the end, the old man gave Xu Hunxian a medicinal meal like yesterday, but this time it was packed in a plastic box.

However, when Xu Hunxian was about to leave, the old man suddenly took out something and put it in front of him: "By the way, I have a book here, which is my little insight into traditional Chinese medicine, you can take it and take a look, if you don't understand, you can ask me." ”

Xu Hunxian was puzzled, but thinking of what the old man said yesterday, he took the book over.

It is said to be a book, but it is actually a thick black notebook, with four gilded characters of "Insights on Traditional Chinese Medicine" written on the skin, and it seems that the skin is made by the old man to others.

The content inside is all handwritten, and it is a first draft, slightly messy, but compared with the previous table of contents, it seems very systematic, needless to say, it must be the old man's painstaking work.

Xu Hunxian is a person who understands the value of this thing, and he doesn't talk much nonsense, he glanced at the old man cautiously, and then knelt down.

There is an ancient Chinese saying, called kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, kneeling to parents, but there is another one, that is, respecting the teacher, it can be said that the old man's actions have the grace of teaching Xu Hunxian, and Xu Hunxian kneeling to him is self-deserved.

This time, the old man didn't excuse himself, he accepted this gift, but he didn't say much, waved his hand and left, there are some things that he doesn't value.

Next, Xu Hunxian followed the old man to learn martial arts, exercise, and sometimes asked some questions about traditional Chinese medicine, and on weekends, he stayed at the old man's home all day to study, except when he went back to eat, he would leave temporarily.

It was another Saturday afternoon, Xu Hunxian came to the old man's house, usually there was only the old man and his wife in this room, but today, a strange little girl appeared.

As soon as she walked into the old man's house, before Xu Hunxian could speak, the girl asked with a vigilant look, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? Why didn't you come in without saying hello? ”

This feeling came to his face like a little pepper, which made Xu Hunxian stunned for a moment, standing there stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Xu Hunxian didn't speak, a smug look flashed in the little girl's eyes: "I said, I'm definitely not a good person, and he's a little kid, and he doesn't learn well at a young age." ”

I have never met such a girl, Xu Hunxian was overwhelmed by this momentum, and stammered: "Eh, I'...... I'm here for an old-timer. ”

Seeing the other party like this, Xiao Pepper's arrogance became more and more intense: "I can't lie, I still find someone, who can you know?" ”

Seeing that the person in front of him was so unreasonable, the self-esteem in his heart made Xu Hunxian react, and the previous nervous expression was gone, but replaced with a flat face: "I'm looking for Grandpa Li, please go in and inform me." ”

The boy's sudden reaction, and the appearance of an annoying stinky fart, made the little girl unhappy immediately, but even more unreasonable: "I don't care who you look for, no, not here, look elsewhere." ”

As he spoke, he glared at Xu Hunxian angrily.

Xu Hunxian was not angry at this time, and said very politely: "I am looking for Grandpa Li here, I am here to find him to practice martial arts, please forgive me for disturbing the place." "What is the tragic thing for people, that is, Xiucai meets soldiers.

The girl in front of her still didn't listen to Xu Hunxian's explanation, and was about to speak, when she was interrupted by a kind voice: "It's Hunxian, come in quickly, your Grandpa Li is already waiting for you in the backyard." Xuanya, you are too, you have grown so big, and you don't know how to change your temper. ”

The voice came, and soon the figure of an old woman appeared. "Grandma, how can you say that about me, I'm very well-behaved, and I'll be unhappy if I say that again." When the little girl saw the person who came out, she went up and hugged Sajiao.

And Xu Hunxian stood respectfully to the side and saluted deeply: "Hello Grandma Han." ”

Yes, this person is the old man's wife, and he likes Xu Hunxian very much, and he said that he would marry his granddaughter to him, which made him extremely embarrassed.

"Okay, come in, don't let your Grandpa Li wait. Xuanya is not right today, you take care of it a little more, although she is a sister, she has a good heart. Grandma Han said to Xu Hunxian with a smile, but she didn't forget to help Li Xuanya say something good, but it made Xu Hunxian blush, even if she met a real person today, she didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly walked inside.

"How's it going, do you feel Pepper's temper?" As soon as he arrived in the backyard, the old man laughed at Xu Hunxian, although he was originally kind, but he still had more time to be serious since he taught Xu Hunxian.

Xu Hunxian was helpless, so he could only speak: "Nothing, in fact, Sister Xuanya is really temperamental." "Simple, straightforward, yet to the point. Looking at the apprentice in front of him who was not an apprentice making such an evaluation, it made the old man laugh, he could recognize such an honest person and say such a thing, and he could imagine the status of his granddaughter in the hearts of others.

But the old man didn't care much after laughing, but said: "Get to know her slowly, you will know that she is still good, but she will be fierce to strangers, and it will be good to get acquainted in the future." ”

Cooked? When will that be? I can't stand this kind of girl, well, don't look for such a girl in the future. Thinking so, but on the surface, I still agree with the old man's point of view, after all, she is someone's granddaughter, and she must be very loved.

There was no delving into the subject, and soon the afternoon exercise began, and that was what they were going to do.
