Chapter 19: Love and Righteousness
The courtyard of red bricks and green tiles is covered with white silk.
Chen Huashun, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, is a tall and strong man even in modern times.
Fang Yuan can still remember the posture of the other party when he was invited to Ye Mansion.
———— just didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, there was already a yin and yang.
Master Xu hasn't been out since he came back yesterday and entered the mourning hall, Fang Yuan stayed outside alone, and he had little to do except for the meal time of three meals a day to deliver food to the master.
At this time, looking at the white silk full of cloth, I was very emotional.
There is life and there is death, and it is not fate to die sooner.
Death is always an undesirable fear.
………………
When Fang Yuan was worried in his heart, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard gate, and then it quickly calmed down, and then a group of mermaids rushed in.
Fang Yuan looked at it, it was someone from the Ye family who came!
"Ah Yuan!"
When Fang Yuan looked up, Ye Man in the crowd also saw him, and when he saw him probing his brain, he hurriedly beckoned him over.
"Ask brother!"
A few years have passed, and the nine-year-old Ip Man is already in his twenties, and while he has become a handsome young man, he is also more and more similar to the face in "Ip Man 1".
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and Ah Yuan has become a handsome guy!"
Ye Man patted Fang Yuan's shoulder, barely squeezing out a kind smile on his face.
“……”
Fang Yuan never expected that after seeing Ip Man, the first thing he said to himself was actually this!
Speaking of which, a few years have passed, and Ip Man has already started to study in Hong Kong, and he has only gone home a handful of times, and he has indeed not seen Fang Yuan for a few years.
"You ask Brother I just came back, and I didn't even stop my feet, don't say anything more, go in and kowtow to Master Chen!"
Before he could say more, Father Ye had already spoken, Fang Yuan nodded hurriedly, and walked into the mourning hall with Father Ye and Father Ye.
A large coffin was displayed on the mourning hall, and Master Xu was sitting cross-legged on a futon, constantly reciting the scriptures.
"Master!"
Seeing the master, Fang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Xu Daochang just raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and continued to read the scriptures.
"Since I arrived, Master Xu has been sitting here chanting the scriptures, and he hasn't moved a single step, and he hasn't eaten anything except drinking water during this period......
Chen Huashun's disciple explained to Father Ye in a low voice, and Father Ye's face became a little heavier when he heard it.
"Ah Wen, when you see the master, don't kneel quickly!"
Ye Man looked at the coffin, as if he was still in a daze, until Father Ye slapped him on the head, and then he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"Ah Yuan, you kneel too!"
Hearing Father Ye's words, Fang Yuan, whose eyes were also a little red for some reason, also knelt on the ground.
…………………………
Chen Huashun's funeral lasted for a long time, and Master Xu kept only drinking water and not eating, and poured scriptures for three days and three nights, until the moment he stopped, he collapsed to the ground.
"Master!"
After kneeling down, Fang Yuan, who had been guarding his side, tightened his heart and hurriedly helped the master up.
"I'm fine, just take me to eat something!"
Master Xu's voice was a little weak, but he spit out the words soundly, and it happened that someone outside the door heard the voice coming in, and when he saw the situation, he and Fang Yuan hurriedly helped the Taoist priest, ate food on the table, and helped him to the bed to rest.
"Ah Yuan, go to the temple and say it, just say that the master is going to live here for a while, so that they don't have to worry about it."
Before resting, Master Xu instructed Fang Yuan like this, he quickly nodded yes, turned around and went back to report the news.
After reporting the letter, as a disciple, Fang Yuan naturally couldn't let the master stay outside alone, and also stayed in the Chen family.
The life in the Chen family is no different from the Taoist temple, except that he has to run to deliver food to the master in the morning, noon and evening, he also practices martial arts every day, and realizes the strength of rigidity and softness, but he changes places.
In this way, Fang Yuan followed his master and lived in Chen Huashun's house for more than a month, and during this more than a month, Master Xu spent most of his time in front of Chen Huashun's grave.
It wasn't until this day, when Fang Yuan brought food to Master again, that he finally spoke, and he could go back to the Taoist Temple!
"Lao Dao has not made many friends in this life, your father is the closest one, now that he is gone, I will also leave in the future, but my Taoist temple will be there!"
"Lao Dao promised you at your father's grave that from now on, no matter what happens within three generations, you can go to the people in the temple for help!"
"Whatever you can, you will never shirk!"
This is Master Xu's promise to the descendants of his deceased friends, and he will use Taoism to help the Chen family.
Fang Yuan couldn't judge whether this promise was right or wrong, because he didn't have this qualification, but he asked himself, if the Chen family really asked for his head in the future, he would ......
He didn't know if he would help, after all, he didn't know Chen Huashun well.
It can only be said that it is time to take one step at a time.
The master and apprentice didn't have anything to pack, and after saying goodbye, they walked directly to the Taoist temple.
"Perhaps, nothing will happen to me in these three generations!"
Fang Yuan shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart, and followed the master to walk forward step by step along the dirt road.
———— Taoist priest couldn't have taken a carriage, but when he heard that his friend had passed away that day, Master Xu couldn't even care about the rules!
………………………………
Ip Man didn't have much time to stay at home, and he hurried back after his master's first seven days.
However, after more than a month, I rushed back.
After returning to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, he recuperated for a few days, and when the school was about to start, Fang Yuan learned that Ip Man had returned, so he said goodbye to the master who had recovered for a while, and rushed to the Ye Mansion in the city to meet Ip Man.
"In the past few months, I have comprehended the strength of Crane Boxing, and the strength of Crane Boxing has almost comprehended, just in time to come back by Ip Man and learn Wing Chun!"
Fang Yuan thought in his heart, hurriedly quickened his pace, his body was in good shape, and he rushed towards Foshan City very quickly.
Only by devoting oneself to one thing can he do it well, so in the past few years, he really hasn't practiced Wing Chun once, only focusing on the kung fu of Crane Boxing, and keeps practicing.
Even now, although the little moves I learned at the beginning are still in my head, in my brain and in my body's memory, it's a completely different thing.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of Ip Man's return to ask him for advice, and after the strength of rigidity and softness was completed, he would have something to continue practicing.
"It took me six months to comprehend the changes in the strength of rigidity and softness, and after I came into contact with Wing Chun, I guess the strength was enough for me to learn for a long time......
"No, with the foundation of both rigidity and softness, I should be able to comprehend the strength faster."
On the way, Fang Yuan took a step and walked leisurely, but he could step out of the wind step by step, which was the use of softness.
This is a special strength achieved by mobilizing the muscles and bones of the whole body!
This is the soft strength that he has not fully understood, if the strength is displayed, Fang Yuan has tried, it is still possible to directly break a small tree with the thickness of a calf - so, after practicing martial arts, it is really strong.
The distance from the Taoist Temple to Yefu is not short, otherwise he would not have driven the carriage to send Fang Yuan over.
But Fang Yuan's martial arts practice had already made a small success, and he realized the use of soft strength all the way, and in only half a morning, he rushed to the door of Yefu.
Unexpectedly, at the gate of Ye Mansion, Fang Yuan ran into Ye Man, who was going to go out.
