Chapter 6: Apprenticeship
Finally meet this famous national hero in modern Chinese history! In later generations of China, due to some special reasons, there was a huge fault in the inheritance of real martial arts. So that many ordinary people doubt whether Chinese kung fu in history can really be played, coupled with some guidance from some so-called well-known big V, intentionally or unintentionally, and some so-called masters in order to collect money, the means can be said to be exhaustive, which has caused an extremely bad impact, causing many people to not believe in the actual combat nature of Chinese kung fu at all. This cannot but be said to be a pity.
Wu Youdao knew a real thing, probably in the late 80s and early 90s, his family had a cousin, who was 14 or 5 years old at that time, which is the so-called rebellious period of a young man who was not in vain.
At that time, it was basically a big tiled house, and the stone smashed a hole. As a result, there was a lot of trouble, the owner of the family was angry, and ran out to chase these two boys, his cousin Niu, people couldn't run behind the chasing soldiers, but ran through the robe, and finally escaped from the tiger's mouth.
His classmate was unlucky, and after being caught up, he was patted and was fine. The next day, he began to be extremely sour, went to the hospital to check that everything was normal, and the family began to interrogate him about where he had been and began to think about supernatural events. At first, people still learned the underground party, and they didn't talk about it, but then they couldn't stand it anymore, so they went out and smashed people's roofs. After the adults in the family figured out what was going on, they brought the bear child to the door to apologize, and finally the man solved his acupoint. Later, when the city developed, the old houses were demolished, and the man didn't know where he had moved.
Of course, when I talk about this here, I don't mean that the behavior of the owner of the family is worthy of praise and encouragement, but that the leopard can imagine the magical glory of Chinese kung fu in its heyday.
Less gossip, back to business. Wu Youdao was in the mood of pilgrimage, stunned and couldn't speak.
'Hello little brother! Instead, Huo Yuanjia smiled kindly and took the initiative to say hello to Wu Youdao.
'Ah...... Yes...... Hello, hello, hello, hello everyone, hello chief. No, Master Huo is good! Wu Youdao was a little incoherent with excitement.
Huo Yuanjia didn't mind Wu Youdao's incoherent words, pointed to the middle-aged man beside him, and said, "This is Huo's friend, Mr. Nong Jinsun Nong. ’
Wu Youdao was ready to worship Huo Yuanjia as a teacher, Nong Jinsun and Huo Yuanjia had a relationship with their peers, he followed the direction of Huo Yuanjia's finger, bowed with a sunny face, and said: "Hello Uncle Nong! ’
Nong Jinsun smiled and nodded, "Hello little brother, I don't know your surname little brother?" ’
Wu Youdao said respectfully: 'The boy is free from your surname Wu, his name is Dao, his mouth is Wu, there is no one, and the road is the way. As he spoke, he gestured.
In the early years of the boy's life, he lived in England with his parents and brother Qiao, and during these years in England, he deeply felt the hardships of the survival of overseas Chinese and the arrogance of foreigners. The kid wants to work hard more and more. This time I returned to China because I wanted to visit famous teachers to learn my Chinese martial arts and strengthen my body. I heard that Master Huo is both virtuous and artistic, the first in Tianjin, and the kid is willing to worship under Master Huo to practice martial arts and self-improvement. ’
After saying that, he turned around and bowed to Huo Yuanjia.
Huo Yuanjia hurriedly helped him up with both hands and said, "Little brother, please inside, let's sit down and talk slowly." ’
After speaking, together with Nong Jinsun, he led Wu Youdao to the main hall to sit down with the guest host, and ordered a disciple next to him to serve tea. After sitting down, Wu Youdao looked into the main hall and saw a painting of the word 'Wu' written in lines on the wall facing the door. There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, which are estimated to be the handwriting of Nong Jinsun. At this moment, the disciple who had gone to serve tea happened to come over and offer refreshments.
After serving the refreshments, Huo Yuanjia said: "Thanks to the praise of the little brother, both virtue and art, the first in Tianjin, this is just a love from friends in the rivers and lakes, Huo is ashamed." ’
Then he said: "As for the little brother who wants to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, worship Huo as a teacher, to tell the truth, it is a good thing to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, but Huo still hopes that the little brother will think twice, it is not that Huo Mou cherishes himself and does not want the Huo family fist to be spread, but Huo Mou sees that the little brother should be 16 or 7 years old this year, and the general age of martial arts is not more than 10 years old. If there is no foundation, this age begins. Maybe in the end, it's just a few years of delay in vain, and the most regrettable night! I wonder if the little brother has ever practiced martial arts before? ’
Huo Yuanjia asked this, in fact, there are some ways to preliminarily select disciples for the examination. With his Huo Siye's cultivation and vision, it can be said that he has long understood that the young man in front of him has no kung fu foundation at all, except that his physical foundation is better than that of ordinary people. Although he only started to learn martial arts at this age, with his physical foundation and a little understanding, if he is willing to work hard, it will not be difficult to achieve something in just a few years!
Asking this, first of all, it is nothing more than to see him Wu Youdao tell the truth, and his martial arts will be worried in the future if he is full of lies! Secondly, see if he Wu Youdao will retreat from the difficulties, no matter how good the foundation of the person who can't face the difficulties, he will not have much success in the martial arts!
Hearing this, Wu Youdao secretly thought to himself, 'I have the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, no, it is I who have a gourd brother to repair the origin for me and replenish the innate vitality, what is this?' This is the hanging bomb plug-in! Therefore, it can be said that there is no need to consider martial arts qualifications at all. But can this be said? This is his biggest hole card! It's just that this has to be answered directly in the vernacular, he Wu Youdao Mao can't do it, and he feels that he has fallen, and the donkey will not fall down! ’
So he grinned: "When the kid was in England, although he never practiced martial arts, he often participated in some modern sports competitions, and was the main force of the school's football team in the foreign school (in fact, he played wild ball when he was in school, and the school team didn't look down on him at all), won the second place in the regional competition when he was in the swimming team of the foreign school (he practiced dog planing in Xiaohegou when he was a child, and almost drowned), and also won the gold medal in the team gymnastics competition (he did the eighth set of radio gymnastics, which was extremely non-standard, and was taught by the mathematics teacher). ’
His serious appearance really made others think that he was not lying. The point is that no one else understands these modern athletic sports. And this era is fully advocating 'mastering the skills of the master to control the razor'. The gadgets of the European powers are always unaware.
Finally, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand slightly raised and his five fingers spread out, he summed up in the form of a great man: "On the road of martial arts, there must be many difficulties and bumps. However, there are always more solutions than difficulties! If there are conditions, you must practice martial arts, and if you do not have conditions, you must also practice martial arts! The road is tortuous, definitely and must be tortuous! But the future must be bright! After saying that, he clenched his fist and slashed.
Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun were stunned, and they waited for him to speak well for a long time before they reacted. 'Well, where there is a will, there is a way, and one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu; The hard-working people live up to the sky, lie down and taste the gall, and three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu! Nong Jinsun couldn't help but high-five! Huo Yuanjia also nodded silently.
Next, Nong Jinsun talked to him about current affairs, politics and economic issues, from the Spanish Voyage to the East India Company; From the two Opium Wars to the Second Industrial Revolution; From the separation of powers to the constitutional monarchy...... Wu Youdao is also from the later generations, which naturally makes people dizzy. Later, he talked with Huo Yuanjia about the problem of strengthening the country and the species, at this time Wu Youdao threw out the big killing weapon, he took out the famous book "The Study of Sports" of later generations, and said: "If you want to civilize its spirit, you must first barbarize its body; If you are barbaric and your physique, then the spirit of civilization will follow! ’
Hearing this, Huo Yuanjia was stunned. After a long while, he applauded and said: 'Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and the ancients will not deceive me!' Good! Good! Good! There is a succession of hearing the Tao, and the master is the teacher! In terms of reading and reasoning, little brother, you are Huo's teacher! ’
'Oops! When Wu Youdao heard this, he was frightened directly from the chair to the ground. I silently said in my heart: 'Play big, play big!' How can I have this knowledge, I don't have knowledge, I'm just a porter of knowledge! The instructor is only an old man with insight! ’
But his mouth said: 'Huo ...... Suddenly...... Master Huo, boy, this ...... This...... This little bit of superficial insight, the words of a family, should not be true, should not be true, how can the boy He De be your teacher! ’
Huo Yuanjia said: 'Eh! Deserved, deserved! Why not! Didn't Fang Cai Huo say it, there is a precedence when you hear the Tao, and the master is the teacher! The country will fall behind if it is complacent, and people will fall behind if they are complacent! In the future, you and I will encourage each other, you are my teacher in terms of reading and reasoning, and I am your teacher in terms of practicing martial arts! ’
'Ah, so Master Huo accepted me as a disciple? Wu Youdao smirked.
Huo Yuanjia smiled and nodded in approval. Nong Jinsun smiled on the side: "Why are you still called Master Huo?" ’
Wu Youdao reacted at this time, and hurriedly offered Huo Yuanjia apprenticeship tea, and then respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed, which was considered an official apprenticeship.
After this set of processes was completed, Wu Youdao also changed his mind and called Master Huo Yuanjia.
Then Huo Yuanjia called a group of disciples together to get to know each other and continued the ranking. When he came just now, he saw that the young man who was leading everyone to practice martial arts in the courtyard was Huo Yuanjia's son Huo Tingen.
Huo Tingen is now in his early 20s, about the same size as Huo Yuanjia, and his face is five or six points similar, and the whole is a young version of Huo Yuanjia. And the second senior brother Liu Zhensheng has been out of the school according to Huo Yuanjia, and now he is in the northeast, while the fifth senior brother Chen Zhen has gone out to run errands and has not come back. Wu Youdao was sure that Chen Zhen hadn't gone to Japan yet.
After chatting for a while, Wu Youdao gave the gift of apprenticeship, and then took out 200 oceans from his bag as a gift. Huo Yuanjia was resolutely unwilling to collect it. Wu Youdao said: "Master, if you want to strengthen the country and have no money, you can't do it, if you want to carry forward the martial arts, you need more people with lofty ideals to learn, and in the future, you will have more disciples, and it will definitely take a lot of money to officially open a martial arts gym!" These oceans can be regarded as the contributions made by disciples to the promotion of martial arts! ’
Next, under the persuasion of everyone, Huo Yuanjia finally accepted these oceans!
Everyone was about to sit down, but they saw a young man coming in from the moon gate on the opposite side of the martial arts training ground......
