Dong Zhenwu nodded and said: "I know that he is the senior brother of monk Yuan Zhen, but he is one year younger than Yuan Zhen. He was an abandoned baby adopted by Master Chen since he was a child, and he has excellent martial arts talent. In recent years, he has become extremely famous in the north. The internal evaluation of the Wushu Association believes that he is the hope for reviving Wushu in the future."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said: "It's interesting. I wonder when we can discuss it. The Wushu Association will hold a meeting in Jiangyuan in April. You two should go. I hope to meet you then?"
Dong Zhenwu smiled and said: "You can ask Monk Yuan Zhen to introduce you. Aren't you familiar with him very well?"
Zhang Yongsheng waved his hand and said: "I'm not too familiar with him, I just met him a few times and sparred with each other. Jin Kai and I are relatively familiar, and Yuan Zhen is taking him to practice martial arts now."
Lu Tiande asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, how do you think my martial arts compares to the monks from Yuan Town?"
Zhang Yongsheng said with a half-smile: "Master Lu, do you want me to tell the truth, or a lie?"
Lu Tiande felt a little embarrassed and said: "Speak directly if you have anything to say. There is nothing to hide. I know that the past few years have been too smooth, and some people have their own eyesight. Yesterday's battle woke me up, and last night in the hotel I thought After a night, I still have to admit that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
Zhang Yongsheng sighed: "Master Lu, you are a very diligent practitioner. I can tell from the calluses on your hands. Your qualifications are not very good, but you can practice Iron Sand Palm to this level. It’s very rare. But when it comes to being a master, you’re still some way off.”
Lu Tiande cupped his hands and said modestly: "I would like to hear the details."
"Master Lu, you're welcome." Zhang Yongsheng returned the greeting with a raised hand: "There is a saying in my sect that in the world of martial arts, internal strength is the first, and when facing the enemy in actual combat, footwork is the first. Although you have practiced martial arts for many years, these two are not the same."
"Uh..." Lu Tiande was speechless. He practices external kung fu, and Iron Sand Palm is notoriously stupid in kung fu, which has little to do with internal kung fu and footwork.
After a moment of silence, Lu Tiande said: "From this point of view, does it mean that those of us who practice the outer sect will never be able to succeed? Wouldn't this mean that the outer sect martial arts will be lost?"
Zhang Yongsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not what you said. The outer martial arts are also broad and profound. Back then, he was the best in the world in the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but he also earned his reputation."
Lu Tiande was silent and said slowly: "Brother Zhang, please show me a clear path."
"I don't dare to give you advice, but I can share some ideas." Zhang Yongsheng pursed his lips and smiled: "There is a concept you have to understand. The outer sect of kung fu only starts from the outer sect. In the end, like the inner sect, it is both internal and external. .So the real introduction to external martial arts starts with external martial arts and internal martial arts.”
"External martial arts also have internal martial arts?" Lu Tiande and Dong Zhenwu looked at each other, somewhat confused.
Strictly speaking, the Dong family's Monkey Fist is also an external Kung Fu, but the Monkey Fist itself has its own method of breathing and exhaling, so it can be considered to be close to the Inner Kung Fu. But Iron Sand Palm is different. This is purely an outer sect skill. It has no internal skills, so naturally it cannot follow the path of the inner sect.
"Then what should I do? In addition, learn an internal skill from a teacher, and then practice both internal and external skills?" Lu Tiande put forward his rather naive idea.
Zhang Yongsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not how external Kung Fu is practiced. External Kung Fu's internal Kung Fu is from the outside in. If you go to become an internal master, you will just practice one more internal Kung Fu to strengthen your body. But when it comes to real fighting, , unable to coordinate internally and externally, and played a very limited role.”
Lu Tiande frowned, he was at a loss, and sighed: "My master doesn't know internal strength. His iron sand palm is made by boiling it like me. This method of building palm strength has been passed down for several generations. I almost practice it here." It has reached the extreme. With the basic state of the human body, it is almost impossible to go any further."
Zhang Yongsheng said in a persuasive manner: "Actually, the internal strength of Iron Sand Palm lies in this palm-strengthening method, but you don't know how to practice it. In fact, there is a friend in our room who knows the training method you need. And he’s practicing it himself, so you can ask him for advice.”
"Is there anyone here who knows the internal strength of Iron Sand Palm?" Lu Tiande was suddenly shocked and a little panicked. He has practiced Iron Sand Palm for decades and has never heard of such a thing.
Zhang Yongsheng glanced at Zeng Yi, who was busy behind the counter, and said with a smile: "As long as you can show off my skills, I believe he is willing to teach you this martial arts."
Several people looked up at Zeng Yi at the same time, with surprised expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe that at such a young age, Zeng Yi was able to master the external-to-internal inner-strength cultivation method of Waijiaquan. But Zhang Yongsheng knew that the secret martial arts of the Five Poisons he handed over to his ancestors and grandsons contained the secret method to solve the inner strength of Iron Palm.
In fact, Zeng Yi has been studying this kind of palm power for more than a year. He used the Five Poison Palms in the opposite direction and developed a non-poisonous palm power. This kind of palm power is exquisite and unpredictable, making it a very superior martial art. When this kind of martial arts is used on the iron palm, its power can be more than doubled.
A few people chatted for a while, and as the time gradually approached noon, there were fewer and fewer people visiting the doctor. Zeng Yi finally took some time, came out to say hello to them, and then returned to the counter to continue his work. Because there were so many patients, Zeng Guoquan didn't even have a chance to rest, so Zhang Yongsheng helped him refill two cups of tea.
When I returned to my seat, the person from the health center who looked like the leader who had just caused trouble came back, with two men in police uniforms behind him. Zhang Yongsheng looked familiar to these two people, but he didn't know their names. In fact, Zhang Yongsheng is familiar with many people in the town, but he has no in-depth interactions with them.
People from the health center pointed at Zhang Yongsheng and said, "They are the ones who jumped in line here. I asked them to get out, but they still didn't listen. Lao Zhang, you have to take care of this matter."
Lao Zhang had dark skin and looked to be in his thirties or forties. He glanced at Zhang Yongsheng and asked, "Lao Zhong said you jumped in line to see a doctor, is that true?"
Zhang Yongsheng frowned and explained: "Do you believe what he said? We have been sitting here for a long time. If we really wanted to jump in line, we would have already jumped in. How can we still chat here? We are just here to see our friends. Zeng Yi is my friend, come over to see him and the old man during the Chinese New Year."
Lao Zhong said with disbelief: "You are obviously here to see a doctor. The patients are all here in wheelchairs. Do you still want to make excuses? Get out quickly and don't affect other people's medical treatment."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled disdainfully and said: "If you come to see a doctor, you will definitely jump in line? What kind of logic is this in your mind? Don't we wait until the hospital is closed before we see you? Don't look for trouble and show off your prestige here. This is the Zeng family's doctor The hospital is not your health center."
Lao Zhong was not convinced and said loudly: "No matter what, you can't interfere with people's medical treatment here. You can go out immediately and line up outside."
