The road to the back mountain is not as imagined, just a narrow and dilapidated stone steps, dilapidated, hung with moss, there is no bustle of the mountain road in front of the crowd everywhere, looking up and looking around, a quiet environment also feels ancient, this feeling is like dreaming back to the formality of the ancients makes Wang Changshengjue's heartbeat a little accelerated

As if it was a sense of ceremony, I followed the Taoist chief on the mountain road for more than ten minutes, and arrived at a slightly dilapidated mountain gate, in front of the door, a Taoist priest in his 20s was sweeping the fallen leaves with a big broom, looked at the Taoist chief and called out to the uncle, and continued to sweep the ground, and entered the inner courtyard is an impression of the courtyard of Chinese classical architecture, paved by bluestone slabs, and the compound of the TV martial arts exercise.

didn't stop, the Taoist chief took Wang Changsheng to the side room and exited to find the head elder to report, Wang Changsheng and the three of them sat on the chair and looked at the furnishings in the house curiously, well, it is not as modern as the TV movie scene, the house is renovated, air conditioning, TV, sofa are all available, it feels like a resort.

Soon the Taoist chief came over and led the three of them to the backyard and said on the road

"Because it is not to enter the Tao, but to learn martial arts, so it is assessed by the elders of the martial arts academy, if you pass the assessment, you can stay, in fact, there are not many martial arts students in the Wudang faction now, but there are still more than 20 students, so there are liberal arts studies, theoretical classes in the morning, liberal arts in the morning, martial arts in the afternoon, and elective courses in the evening, and there is no need to worry about the decline of children's academic performance."

"Mm-hmm, it's good," Wang Aiguo echoed

After saying that, the inner courtyard arrived, and when I entered a hall, I saw that it was the style of the martial arts hall, with Taoist statues enshrined in the middle, more than a dozen chairs on both sides, and a middle-aged man in his 40s who sat on it, giving people the feeling that he was very strong, not wearing a Taoist robe, but wearing a practice uniform, with dark skin, and his eyes stared at Wang Changsheng from the time he entered the room, which made Wang Changsheng feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Uncle Zhihe, it's this kid who wants to enter the Wudang faction to practice martial arts"

After the introduction, the Taoist chief said to Wang Changsheng and the three of them

"This is Uncle Zhihe, a martial artist who specializes in teaching Wudang students to practice martial arts."

"You don't have to be so rigorous, now you don't have the same set of ancients, there are no miscellaneous etiquette, now there are not many people who can really like to practice martial arts, even fewer can endure hardships, and the conditions here are not as difficult as imagined, so don't worry too much" Zhihe Dao Chang, who waved his hand, said to the three of them, turning his head to look at Wang Changsheng

"Children, why did you come to learn martial arts, learning martial arts is very hard, there is no delicious food and fun in the mountains every day"

"Because I like it, I like to practice martial arts since I was a child, like becoming a hero in a movie, fighting ten bad guys at a time," Wang Changsheng said

"I heard that you have been practicing boxing since you were a child, and you will give your uncle a set to see if it is okay," Zhihe said

"Okay" After Wang Changsheng finished speaking, he began to set up a fight, and looked at Zhihe expectantly after finishing a set of punches seriously

Zhihe nodded, yes, he is a good seedling of martial arts, his basic skills are very solid, and he is not as nervous or even frightened as children of the same age, it should be very worry-free, if he cultivates his body for a few more years, he should become a master of martial arts.

Zhihe said to Wang Aiguo with satisfaction, "The child is very good, but he is still too young to endure the hardships on the mountain, I don't know, you take the child to live on the mountain for a few days, to see if the child can adapt to the environment, if not, take it home and wait for a few years, and then come over to see after graduating from junior high school, only ten years old, the youngest of the martial arts academy is fifteen years old and graduated from junior high school."

Wang Aiguo nodded and agreed, and Zhihe Daoist took Wang Aiguo and Wang Changsheng to the place where he lived, while Chen Tao followed the Taoist of the Golden Palace back and took the cable car down the mountain to get his luggage.

Because there are not many people in the back mountain, plus there are only more than 200 student Taoists, more than 20 students are separated by ten people living in a big room, and there is just a room with extra beds, Wang Changsheng can live in a room with five students with Wang Aiguo.

Zhihe Daoist called out that the oldest child was about 18 years old, tall and thin, about 1.6 meters taller, half a head taller than Wang Changsheng, shaved a small flat head, looked very ordinary, and gave people a very honest and wooden feeling

"This is the squad leader of the martial arts, his name is Li Mubai, you take the children to visit the gym first"

Li Mubai nodded and took Wang Changsheng's hand and began to visit the introduction of the backyard, while Wang Aiguo and Zhihe Daochang went to the living room to discuss accommodation and environmental issues.

Li Mubai was very wooden and not very talkative, and introduced the history of the back mountain to Wang Changsheng one by one

The back mountain of the Wudang faction is also the inner door, there are more than 200 official Taoist priests, divided into the Taoist hall and the martial arts hall, the Taoist hall is the national registration and certification of the eight classics, and the Taoist priest is in the inner door to study the Taoist treasure every day, and there are also morning and evening classes, and the specific Li Mubai is not clear

In fact, the Wudang faction has cooperation with the local government, and there is a martial arts school at the foot of the mountain, so most of the martial arts masters and graduated brothers have gone there to be coaches, and there are very few people who really come to the mountain to learn martial arts.

Wang Changsheng, who had a general understanding of the situation of the inner door, also nodded secretly, the building is generally the living environment, after all, he has traveled everywhere before, and he is not as surprised as a child

It's just that it seems that martial arts have indeed declined, Wang Changsheng was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, after all, it would not work behind closed doors with his own mind, and he didn't completely care whether he could learn how much, but wanted to answer the questions he had accumulated from the martial arts teaching experience inherited from the Wudang School, and the rich reserves of Daozang would definitely help him more.

Wang Changsheng, who was wandering around, and Chen Tao, who came back with luggage, Wang Aiguo had a meal and rested under the leadership of Zhihe Daochang

The night on the mountain is very boring, Wang Changsheng who is lying on the bed is looking forward to the days after tomorrow, Wang Aiguo and Chen Tao next to him are chatting, Chen Tao, who left the phone early the next morning, left in a hurry, Wang Changsheng followed his classmates to get up to do morning classes, and Wang Aiguo followed to observe whether Wang Changsheng adapted

During the morning class, Wang Changsheng also learned about his classmates through mutual introductions, basically between 15 and 18 years old, he was the youngest at the age of ten, a total of 25 students, plus 26 of them, all of them were boys, because they were learning martial arts and did not enter the teaching, so there was no Taoist number or anything, the morning was early reading, the textbook was some simple Taoist scriptures, and the teacher's explanation of martial arts schools, history, and stories

After breakfast, in the morning, I studied the liberal arts of junior high school and high school in different classes, and I was very satisfied with my counterpart Wang Changsheng

In the afternoon, under the teaching of Zhihe Daochang, I learned and practiced the very traditional and widely spread Baguazhang.

In the evening, Wang Changsheng followed his classmates, and they followed what they did, first getting familiar with the environment

The inner door also has Sundays and weekends, and there is no taboo in the canteen every day, the variety is very rich, and the most surprising thing for Wang Changsheng is that there is a gym in the inner door, and there are all kinds of exercise equipment in it, which makes Wang Changsheng secretly tongued, so down-to-earth, advancing with the times!

Five days have passed, Wang Changsheng adapted to the freshness and gradually integrated into the small collective, and Wang Aiguo saw that his son did not have any irritability and homesickness, and felt quite relieved, so he left a thousand yuan for living expenses, as well as a card, and told him to go down the mountain and go home after a meal, so that Wang Changsheng had nothing to call home more, after all, there are also landlines on the mountain

Finally free, Wang Changsheng was very excited, and he didn't show the emotions of a child because of them, today, he officially got started, apprenticed to Shizhi and Dao Chang

There are five teachers in the martial arts academy, Shi Shi and Dao Chang are the first to teach the martial arts class in the afternoon, in the morning is a sixty or seventy-year-old old Taoist who talks about the development of martial arts, and occasionally there are Taoist scholars who come to explain the Taoist Tibetan reading.

In the morning, two Taoist priests with university degrees taught Chinese and mathematics in separate classes

In the afternoon, the martial arts class is taught by Master Zhihe and a middle-aged Taoist priest named Zhiquan who is also in his 40s, and Zhihe Taoist mainly teaches internal boxing, Tai Chi, Bagua, Xingyi and other boxing, Zhiquan is a teaching instrument, that is, knives, swords, sticks, etc.

The new learning environment makes Wang Changsheng feel very satisfied and fulfilling, because he has a good memory, Wang Changsheng learns very quickly, every martial art he learns is imprinted in his mind, he ponders through visualization at night, and then asks questions and doubts the next morning, and practices again and again in the afternoon, after all, you know and are familiar with the moves, but the body needs to adapt

Martial arts just need to be honed over and over again, and there are no shortcuts to study, which is nothing at all for Wang Changsheng, and because of the exposure to new boxing techniques, he has a great freshness and is more hardworking and serious.

A month has passed, Wang Changsheng has finished learning junior Chinese, no way after all, he has a strong memory and learns quickly, and it is also very simple, considering that Wang Changsheng is still young, the teacher did not let him continue to study the high school course, which is very relaxed.

And Wang Changsheng also put all his focus on the practice of martial arts, but with the in-depth practice, Wang Changsheng felt a little weird

It's different, the boxing taught by the master is different, and the lack of some flavor from what I have practiced since childhood, it seems that just the systematic teaching is not deep enough, although the knowledge is very wide, and it is indeed eye-opening, but for the thorough understanding of the body, the meticulous teaching of strength, and the martial arts realm is not very clearly divided

Could this really be the real appearance of martial arts now, Wang Changsheng, who was a little unwilling, found Master Zhihe alone

"Master, why does the martial arts I learn feel like something is missing, and the Zama boxing I practice at home can slowly feel the strength penetrating through, and how does the master teach me feel like it's just a shelf, just to make people skilled and healthy, and there is no special feeling?"

"You are still young, you don't understand, practice more, the master knows that you are smart and serious, but martial arts is an accumulation of practice over the years, and you will know it when you grow up" Zhihe's eyes were a little complicated after hearing this, but he didn't want to say more, looking at Wang Changsheng and comforting him not to be too ambitious.

Wang Changsheng saw his master's hesitation, pulled his hand and said coquettishly

"You just tell me about it, I'm a fast learner, and now all I have left is a boring master who repeats practice every day."

"Then the master will tell you about the division of martial arts" Zhihe looked at the youngest and most sensible and intelligent apprentice, although he was young, his height and appearance made people slowly ignore Wang Changsheng's age, and he felt like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, so he relented
