Heart of loving beauty

  The old man's name is Li Yuanshan, a master of Xingyiquan.

  He and Tang Zhen Dong's last three punches were not intentionally yielding to Tang Zhen Dong, but only pushed Tang Zhen Dong back five or six steps. This was not because he had any sympathy for Tang Zhen Dong, but because Tang Zhen Dong's internal energy was so strong that Li Yuan Shan did not dare to attack with full force without leaving any room for maneuvering. In case this young man suddenly gave himself a punch, his old bones would not be able to withstand the impact as well as the young man.

  However, Tang Zhendong was able to quickly find a way to counter himself, which really made Li Yuanshan look at him in a new light.

  To know a martial art, gong li (power) is the foundation, but adaptability and reaction in actual combat are ranked first.

  "Old man, what kind of fist are you using?"

  "Hey kid, what kind of kung fu are you practicing?"

  "Hehe, this is a family heirloom, it doesn't have a name."

  When Li Yuanshan heard Tang Zhendong say this, he nodded and thought to himself that he had traveled far and wide, seen many masters, fought with many people, and was familiar with various types of boxing. Even if he hadn't fought with someone, he knew what type of boxing they practiced. But the boxing method of this young man made him somewhat confused, and he really didn't know what type of boxing Tang Zhendong practiced.

  "I'm practicing Xingyiquan, haven't you heard of it?"

  "It's said that Tai Chi takes ten years of practice without leaving one's door, while Xingyiquan can kill a person with just one year of practice."

  "Haha." Li Yuanshan burst out laughing.

  "Old man, what's your name? Can you teach me your boxing skills?" Tang Zhendong had a set of internal skills from the Ghost Valley School, but he didn't have a corresponding fighting technique. Tang Zhendong's internal skills came from his master, but the Ghost Valley Boxing techniques were lost too much and couldn't match with his powerful inner strength.

  "Hahaha," Li Yuanshan laughed loudly, "You're seeking this too easily, aren't you? The techniques of each sect are not passed down to anyone but their own disciples, and yet you want me to teach you?"

  "The boxing technique is not passed on to those who are not destined, I feel that I and the old man are destined, so I know the old man will not refuse me."

  What Tang Zhendong said with confidence was because he saw that the old man's facial features were wide and large, with round and fleshy cheeks, which is a typical open-minded and kind-hearted face, good at making friends. People with such facial features are not particular about trifles, they like to make friends the most, so Tang Zhendong was very confident.

  "Haha, meeting a smart kid like you, I really have nothing to say. However, I won't be staying in Haicheng for long. I'm here to visit my daughter who works here and can only stay for a month. If you're free, come over at this time tomorrow morning and I'll teach you some boxing skills. How much you learn depends on your own abilities."

  In the past, there were many people practicing martial arts, and relying on martial arts could feed a family. Generally, masters chose their apprentices. However, times have changed, and in today's society, practicing martial arts can no longer be a means of supporting oneself. It has become merely a skill for self-defense and physical fitness. Those who are enthusiastic about the martial way are becoming fewer and farther between. Masters are not as picky about their apprentices as they used to be; instead, it is often the apprentices who have money and can choose their masters at will.

  The number of disciples has decreased, and the naturally talented ones have become even fewer. In the past, such disciples were hard to come by, but now they are even scarcer. As a result, many sects face the dilemma of having no one to inherit their legacy. The outcome of this situation is the loss of divine skills and arts.

  So in modern times, many masters have abandoned their sectarian views. For those who are truly talented and can calm down to learn boxing, such people are more precious than gold.

  Although I couldn't take you as a disciple, the kindness of teaching you martial arts remains. A common situation in today's society is that those who genuinely teach martial arts never charge tuition fees; only those with half-baked skills will charge 500 or 800 yuan per month.

  It's a good thing that Li Yuanshan doesn't charge tuition fees. If he did, Tang Zhendong wouldn't have had enough money to learn martial arts.

  After getting along well with the old man, the sky also brightened up. At this time, more people came out to exercise, and the small square gradually became lively.

  "Little Tang, how was your sleep last night?" Tang Zhendong had just finished setting up his stall when Old Ye came over with a smile.

  "Haha, pretty good!"

  Lao Ye Bian and Tang Zhen Dong pulled out their everyday clothes, while unfolding their own "Ma Yi Shen Suan, one divination worth a thousand gold" white cloth.

  "Xiao Tang, thank you. Your sister-in-law said that your treatment was really effective. She slept all night last night without the chest tightness and shortness of breath she used to have, feeling much more comfortable."

  "Heh heh, that's good, take your medicine on time. Did you go get the prescription I made for you yesterday?"

  "Yexian has left, we both went out of the door together, she has great respect for you." Old Ye didn't say that Yexian wasn't very convinced by such a sudden effect, and kept saying it was just psychological.

  Even if it's just a psychological effect, it's still a good psychological effect. Lao Ye is not a pedantic person, but many people are suspicious and always suspect this and that, which is actually mostly psychological. The industry Lao Ye is in has grasped the weaknesses of human psychology, targeting people's uncertainty and fear about the future to guide them. Of course, the price for such guidance is not cheap.

  "Hehe, I'll go back and help my sister-in-law clear the Qi of the Zhong Yang and Que Wei acupoints again, so she can recover faster."

  "Xiao Tang, thank you so much, I don't know what to say." Lao Ye was really moved, this cured the illness, which is equivalent to saving tens of thousands of yuan. In fact, spending money didn't hurt Lao Ye's heart, the main thing was that he didn't have this money now, without money, he could only delay treatment, delaying and delaying, afraid that in the future there wouldn't even be a chance for a cure.

  The old leaves now feel a great reduction in pressure on their bodies and are much lighter.

  "Come on, Old Leaf, let's not say anything that sounds insincere between us."

  Tang Zhendong is really not pretentious, this kind of thing to him, is just a small dish, he is not a person who calculates, eight years of prison life let him know, there are too many things in the world that need to be cherished, but among these many things, absolutely do not include money.

  "Alright, no more nonsense. Little Tang, from now on, if you need any help with anything, I'll do my best to assist you. If I can help, I won't hesitate; even if I'm not capable of helping, I'll still try my best to lend a hand."

  Lao Ye was very emotional, his partner's illness wasn't just a day or two, although the doctor said that this kind of disease needs to be treated with surgery, but behind the doctor's words, there was another sentence, surgery has risks, signing requires caution.

  "Haha, okay." Tang Zhendong burst out laughing. He didn't take Old Ye's words to heart and wasn't helping for this reason.

  "Hey little girl, wait a minute, this apple is big and tastes sweet, come try it before you buy, you won't regret it!"

  Tang Zhendong's fruit stand, Lao Ye is really shouting loudly today. Lao Ye's mouth can bring the dead back to life and kill the living again, that's not an exaggeration. Plus Tang Zhendong is originally a clean and handsome young man, as long as it's not a particularly introverted girl who walks with her head down, basically everyone will buy the fruit from Tang Zhendong after being shouted at by Lao Ye.

  Everyone has a heart that loves beauty.
