Dong Zhenwu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We also have secret inheritors, but sometimes the plans are not as good as changes. The essence of Dong Family Monkey Boxing is passed down from word of mouth, but the inheritor died of a sudden illness, which made people feel uncomfortable. Unexpected. The boxing records and internal skills left behind are specious and will not become a reality."
Zhang Yongsheng nodded silently, feeling the same way. Many of the sects in his previous life were passed down by word of mouth, so many of his unique skills were lost. Many sects treasure their brooms very much, and the inheritors always keep a secret when handing it over to the next generation, and only pass it on to the next generation before they die. But if it is too late, there will be great losses.
Some inheritors secretly write down the essence and hide it somewhere so that future generations may find it. Relying solely on word of mouth has the greatest risk, and many sects have perished because of this. It seems that the Dong family also suffered from this traditional bad habit.
Zhang Yongsheng looked at Dong Zhenwu and said directly: "Mr. Dong, if you have something to do today, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush. If I can help, I will try my best to help."
Dong Zhenwu was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I went up to the mountain to visit Monk Yuan Zhen a few days ago, and he spoke very highly of you. He said that your martial arts are above him, even as good as his senior brother Yuan Hui. I think I will hand Qishan over to you and accept you as my teacher, whatever conditions you have."
Zhang Yongsheng was stunned for a moment and was very surprised by Dong Zhenwu's request. He and Dong Qishan were classmates and similar in age. He had never thought about becoming each other's master. Although the two are in the same school and have classes on the same floor, they don't interact much on weekdays.
Dong Qishan is a sports student who just transferred from Hegang. His circle is full of sports students or transfer students from outside. Zhang Yongsheng is a local student, and his circle is all locals. We have almost no interactions with each other. We treat each other as strangers when we meet on weekdays, and we don’t even say hello.
Zhang Yongsheng declined awkwardly: "Old man, I am deeply honored by your promotion, but given the ages of Dong Qishan and I, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. We are classmates in the same grade and of the same age, how can I be his master?" What? I think you should find another expert."
"Classmate Zhang, don't be too busy refusing. Let me explain my reasons." Dong Zhenwu waved his hand and said, "I have been in the Provincial Wushu Association for so many years and have many connections. I want to find a good master for Qishan. It's actually very easy. If nothing else, Monk Yuan Zhen is a very good teacher."
Zhang Yongsheng nodded and said: "Senior Brother Yuan Zhen's martial arts is indeed good, and he is more than enough to serve as Dong Qishan's master. Senior Chen Daqiu's martial arts is extremely high. If he can get his guidance, he will surely make rapid progress."
"But Yuan Zhen's martial arts style is different from that of my Dong family. He is a Buddhist martial artist who follows a calm and fierce style. My Dong family's Monkey Boxing is a light and changeable boxing technique. Qishan had the fate to learn one and a half moves naturally. Sect martial arts are also known for their changes, which are in conflict with Yuan Zhen’s approach." Dong Zhen explained.
"Then you can find other teachers. There were many teachers from the Provincial Institute of Physical Education that day. There must be technical routes that match yours. Why would you want to find a half-assed teacher like me?" Zhang Yongsheng said curiously.
Dong Zhenwu shook his head and said: "On the one hand, the path is, and on the other hand, the breadth of martial arts. Most martial arts masters now only practice one path, or at most two or three martial arts. But what my Qishan family has learned is very comprehensive, and ordinary teachers can't teach it. Yuan Zhen recommended you to me, he said that your knowledge in martial arts is worse than that of Grandmaster Bu Chen."
Zhang Yongsheng scratched his head and cursed secretly in his heart. Yuan Zhen was just helping him brag, so why did he still hold him up so high? He admitted that he was knowledgeable, no less knowledgeable than Chen Daqiu. But his age is in charge here, and no one will believe him if he says it, which only adds to the trouble.
Dong Zhenwu continued: "I want to find a master for Qishan. On the one hand, the Dong family's martial arts are incomplete. If he continues to practice, he will be just like me. On the other hand, he learned the martial arts of the Natural Gate by chance, and he can also There are many other miscellaneous students, and I don’t want him to give up this advantage.”
Zhang Yongsheng frowned and said: "Judging from the fight between the two on stage that day, Dong Qishan's martial arts is indeed quite complex. There are only a few moves in Monkey Fist, natural martial arts, and wrestling skills from who knows which martial arts. But it pushed Zhao Yunfei so hard that he almost lost."
Dong Zhenwu nodded and said: "His martial arts qualifications are good, and he is the best among generations of my family. We all want him to get ahead, so we have let him get in touch with martial arts people since he was a child. Some people look at him differently and just pass it on casually. I have two skills, so I am in a situation where I can’t rely on my four or six.”
Zhang Yongsheng sighed: "It is a rare fate to be favored by the seniors in the martial arts, but his foundation is not strong, and he will delay himself by learning too many things. If he has a solid foundation and learns a few more miscellaneous tricks, the two will not be the same." They can benefit from each other. But now if we want to go further, we have to lay the foundation all over again."
Dong Zhenwu sighed: "To tell you the truth, we didn't understand this principle at first. We only thought that the more miscellaneous knowledge the better, so we neglected his basic training. When we discovered the problem and consulted senior personnel for advice, it was already too late. That’s right. Yuan Zhen said that among the masters in our province, no one except you can teach him well."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "I think you think too highly of me, I'm just a half-hearted person. Zhao Yunfei is my brother, we grew up together since childhood. I know his background well, so I can forcefully teach him. But I don't know the situation of Dong Qishan." I don’t know anything and don’t even know how to get started.”
Dong Zhenwu said firmly: "Our family has discussed it. No matter how you teach, we will support it. It is up to you to decide which of his miscellaneous studies should be retained and which should be discarded. We only ask that you can teach Zhao Yunfei the same way. Teach him so that he will not waste such a good opportunity in vain."
Zhang Yongsheng said with some laughter and tears: "I'm really surprised that you believe me so much. But have you told Dong Qishan about this? Will he agree? We are classmates after all. It would be too embarrassing to call us master when we meet in the future. Everyone It’s all about saving face, isn’t this bad?”
Dong Zhenwu nodded and said: "Don't worry, we have already made peace with him. As long as you can teach him martial arts, you will be his master. The school is the business of the school, and the rivers and lakes are the rules of the rivers and lakes. There is nothing we cannot accept. We I completely believe in you and also believe in Old Master Chen’s evaluation of you.”
With Chen Daqiu's endorsement, the Dong family still has more trust in Zhang Yongsheng. Zhang Yongsheng didn't know Chen Daqiu's status in the world, but the Dong family knew it very well. Chen Daqiu could come forward to guarantee Zhang Yongsheng, and Yuan Zhen repeatedly persuaded them, and they also felt that this was the best way to go.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yongsheng and Dong Qishan are in the same school, which is more convenient in all aspects. If the Dong family is asked to hire a master with extensive martial arts skills as a teacher in the martial arts world, not to mention whether he can find him or not, whether he is willing to come to Yunshan, a remote and remote place, is also a big question.
