Chapter 11 A Long Time in a Cage

Wine over thirty years, food over five flavors. The two chatted happily and agreed to go to Qingteng College together tomorrow morning. Then, Xu Jun said goodbye to Fang Yuan slightly drunk and left to rest alone.

.........

On the second day, the light of dawn lifted the light veil of night and spit out the glorious morning.

At this time, Fang Yuan had already gotten up and freshened up, dressed neatly. I casually found a quiet corner in the garden near the inn and practiced a set of Vajra Eight Styles and Splitting Palms in Bajiquan.

Fang Yuan has been immersed in this boxing technique for nearly ten years, and he has won the samadhi. During the practice, the body moved at will, and the sand and stones flew under the feet, which was really fierce and domineering.

When the practice was in full swing, there was a burst of applause next to him, and a word of praise came: "This little brother is so handsome, so fierce boxing!"

Fang Yuan finished the routine unhurriedly, exhaling a deep breath of turbid air, and then turned to look at the source of the voice.

I saw a tall old man with a red face standing ten meters to his left, although he was full of silver hair and a gray beard, he looked energetic and imposing.

"In the circle below, I have seen the seniors, thank you for the reputation of the predecessors. Fang Yuan bowed and clasped his fists and saluted, his tone gentle and respectful: "I don't know what the seniors have to teach here?"

The old man had already observed this young man who had gotten up early to practice martial arts in the dark, and saw that his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, full heavenly court, slender limbs, and strange bones, he was actually a natural martial arts embryo.

There was a slight movement in his heart, and then he suddenly appeared to try his temperament, and saw that he was not arrogant or impatient, gentle and polite, and responded appropriately, and he was even more happy.

"Hahaha......" The old man laughed heartily: "There is no need to be polite, but the old man rashly disturbed the little brother's morning exercise, and asked the little brother to forgive me." ”

The old man didn't wait for Fang Yuan to answer, and asked out loud again: "I don't know who Little Brother Fang studied from, and he actually learned such a domineering boxing technique?"

Hearing the old man's words, Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly fell into a memory......

...... I remember that when I was ten years old, my father led me to visit Li Rongguang, a famous Baji master who opened a boxing gym in Beijing, which was the first time I met my teacher.

The first question the teacher asked himself was, "Why do you practice martial arts?"

At that time, I didn't even think about replying, "To strengthen my body." ”

The teacher shook his head and said: "You don't necessarily have to practice martial arts to keep fit, running, gymnastics, playing ball and swimming can all strengthen your body. ”

It was only later that he accidentally killed someone and was imprisoned. In the first year of prison, the teacher asked someone to send a letter, on which were written 16 big characters with a brush: loyalty to the liver and courage, use the body as a shield, sacrifice oneself, and take the lead in danger.

Perhaps, these sixteen words are the answer that the teacher has always wanted.

It wasn't until later, when I shouldered a heavy mission and flew a spaceship into the vast universe, that I really understood the meaning of the teacher's words.

The original intention of practicing martial arts is not simply to strengthen the body, let alone to be strong and weak.

Practicing martial arts is only for the word "guard," guarding one's own safety, defending one's family, defending the country, and guarding justice! Just as the teacher said back then, if it is only for physical fitness, there are many means, and there is no need to practice martial arts at all.

It's a pity that I failed to live up to my teacher's expectations......

"Little Brother Fang, is it inconvenient to reveal the teacher's inheritance?" The old man saw that Fang Yuan was silent, thinking that he was embarrassed: "It's okay, the old man is also a person who practices martial arts, but today when he saw such a powerful and domineering boxing technique, he saw that he was happy to hunt, so he asked this question." If you can't answer, don't be embarrassed. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yuan came back to his senses, looked at the old man and smiled bitterly: "The seniors are too worried, about the boxing techniques and teachers practiced by the juniors, in fact, there is no hidden secret, if the seniors don't dislike it, please listen to the juniors ......one by one."

Then, Fang Yuan slightly adapted his own story and said that he would listen to the old man......

said that he was originally from an ordinary family in a certain place, and when he was ten years old, he was accepted as a disciple by an old boxer in his hometown, and he learned the inheritance of the old man. But when he was a teenager, he accidentally killed someone, was imprisoned, and received the news of the death of his parents in prison.

Later, after being lucky to be released from prison, he was shameless to face his teacher. Therefore, I don't know if the master still recognizes himself as a rebel, and later, the master is long gone......

Fang Yuan confided in the old man about the past that he had adapted, and at the same time complained with a wry smile in his heart: "I have been driving a spaceship into the new world for so long, of course the teacher is gone. In another 500 years, maybe Beijing will be buried by sandstorms......"

"I see, I see, I see......" The old man suddenly realized, but he understood the reason for Fang Yuan's silence just now: "Little Brother Fang, please mourn and change, you must know that everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous. According to you, although you made a big mistake back then, you were later punished with ten years in prison. Looking at your words and deeds now, you should have repented and reformed, but right?"

"Yes, after all kinds of hardships, if the younger generation still hasn't reformed itself, how can it be worthy of the heavenly parents and masters? Therefore, now the younger generation has already reformed itself!" Fang Yuan replied in a deep voice.

"In that case, look up," the old man smiled and pointed to the sky.

Hearing this, Fang Yuan followed the direction the old man was pointing and looked up.

At this time, the sun had risen most of the time, and the light blue sky seemed to be dyed with a touch of vermilion. Occasionally, white clouds float through the air, leisurely forming a variety of unique shapes.

Fang Yuan suddenly blessed his soul, and opened his mouth to groan: "After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature." ”

"Haha, wonderful! wonderful!" the old man stroked his palms and laughed: "Little Brother Fang is really both civil and military, in this case, why are you still worried?"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile like the rising sun on his face......

Halfway through, Fang Yuan suddenly bowed deeply to the old man with a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Today, I can eliminate the depression in my heart, all thanks to the seniors, and ask the seniors to bow to Fang Yuan." ”

"Idiot!" The old man put away his smile, stretched out his hands and bent down to help the young man in front of him, shaking his head slightly and sighing.

After a while, the old and the young got up to face each other, and there was a burst of joyful laughter, all in silence.

At this time, Fang Yuan's face suddenly looked ashamed, and he patted his head with his right hand: "Forgive the juniors for being confused for a while, after chatting for so long, they haven't even asked the seniors for their names?"

"Hahaha, it's okay. The old man's surname is Ouyang, and his single name is a wind character" The old man put his left hand behind his back, stroked his beard lightly with his right hand, and squinted and smiled.

"Ouyang Feng?" Fang Yuan looked stunned.

"That's right, the old man is Ouyang Feng!" The old man was very satisfied when he saw Fang Yuan's shocked expression, thinking to himself, this young man was still shocked by his name.

It's not that the old man is boasting, now in Kunyu City and even in Dashun, I'm afraid there are not many people who haven't heard their name.

That's right, Fang Yuan was indeed "shocked", looking up at the old man's self-contained demeanor. The spit attribute in his body automatically awakened, and he secretly said to himself in the depths of his heart: "I don't know if this senior can do toad skills?"
