After putting on his clothes, he went to his grandpa's room to say hello. Compared to Zhou Ya and the others who were playing around and not feeling sleepy at all during the Spring Festival, Zhou Yiren valued his work more, so he came back to the room with Yang Dongxu to read documents.
Zhou Yiren was not surprised to see old man Xuan come back. He just said hello as usual, then lowered his head and continued to read the documents in his hand.
Seeing his godfather's reaction, Yang Shu Dongxu scratched his head. He didn't know whether his godfather was too reassured about his godson, or whether he was too immersed in work to care about other things. Old Man Xuan obviously had something to do when he came to see him like this, and it was a big matter, but Zhou Yiren didn't care.
"Old man, you are digging coal, why are you in such a mess?" Yang Dongxu looked at Old Man Xuan with a searching look on his face.
"Come to the courtyard tomorrow. Come and practice there early. If you're late, I'll break your legs." Old Man Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of Zhou Yiren's room. Apparently Zhou Yiren's acquiescence made him feel more relaxed.
"Who did I offend?" Seeing old man Xuan leaving in a hurry, Yang Dongxu looked confused.
Zhou Yiren seemed to know what Old Man Xuan was doing, and Nalan Yi definitely knew. But he didn't know anything at all. In the end, he seemed to be the protagonist of this matter even though he didn't know anything. Otherwise, Old Man Xuan wouldn't have come to him at this time.
As a result, everyone knew but no one told him, which made him look confused and didn't say anything. He had no idea what happened and was being scolded by Old Man Xuan.
But it was a good thing for Old Man Xuan to train him. Of course, this did not mean that he had a tendency to abuse himself. Instead, Old Man Xuan trained him and proved that Old Man Xuan was fine, which made him who had been worried feel a little relieved.
The next day, Yang Dongxu got up early and went to Dong'an Fu Hutong. No matter where Old Man Xuan had been these days or what secrets he didn't know, practicing martial arts was a must every day. Being lazy would definitely not lead to good results. That's ok.
When they arrived at Dong'an Fu Hutong, Old Man Xuan had already opened the door. He took a look at the yard and saw that there was no one in the yard. Yang Dongxu walked towards the inside. At this time, Old Man Xuan walked out of the room carrying herbs.
Without any verbal communication, Yang Dongxu first moved his limbs and then began to practice martial arts. When the muscles and bones of his body were stretched out, he jumped into the medicine bucket to brew the medicine, and at the same time he exhaled very rhythmically.
Since the first time he felt the sense of Qi, the flow of Qi has continued to expand in Yang Dongxu's body as time went by. Every time he breathed in and out, it traveled through his muscles and veins, and finally lay dormant in his Dantian.
After possessing the internal power, Yang Dongxu was overjoyed again and again, as if he had seen his heroic appearance that he could fly over walls and fly over walls, and pick leaves and flowers.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. Old man Xuan told Yang Dongxu that he wanted to reach the state where he could climb over walls and pick leaves and flowers as weapons. According to the current progress, he might be able to see his shadow after another thirty or forty years of training.
After practicing for another thirty or forty years, maybe... Yang Dongxu didn't know what to say. What makes him even more speechless is that even if he achieves it, he still can't seem to be invincible in the world, because Old Man Xuan said that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many master-level masters who could release their inner strength and external forces were shot to death with guns because they did not abide by the law.
In short, there is a saying, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife. In this era when hot weapons are prevalent, it is simply a fantasy for ancient martial arts to be invincible.
Of course, practicing martial arts also has the benefits of practicing martial arts. It can not only strengthen the body, but also strengthen the will. But these have nothing to do with Yang Dongxu. The reason why Old Man Xuan lets him practice martial arts is because he is afraid that his good luck will be drained of his body and he will die young.
In other words, he was destined not to become a chivalrous hero from the beginning of his martial arts training. The internal strength condensed by the so-called breathing method was more focused on health preservation.
According to Old Man Xuan, if Yang Dongxu does not lose his virginity before the age of 30 and completely locks the yang essence to solidify his foundation, then as long as he does not indulge in lust and indulge in gentleness after the age of 30, then there is basically no problem in living to be over 100 years old.
Be a virgin for another 30 years? Think about the black line on Yang Dongxu's forehead. Before his rebirth, even if he had no conditions, he still dated a girlfriend when he was twenty-four or five years old and lost his virginity for more than twenty years.
In this life, he won't say that he will become the husband of all people, but at least it will be absolutely fine for him to fall in love easily. If you’re still a virgin when you’re in love, what’s the point of falling in love?
It can't be said that Yang Dongxu's purpose of falling in love is to have sex, but having sex is also part of a complete relationship, isn't it? Even if he can endure it, will his future girlfriend be able to tolerate him until she is 30?
Not talking about the age of 30, even if Yang Dongxu started dating at the age of eighteen, if he and his girlfriend were still respectful to each other at the age of 23, his girlfriend would probably drag him to see an andrology department without him having to say anything. .
Confucius said: Food and drink, men and women, keep the great desires of people.
As long as he is a normal man, he will not be impulsive when seeing a woman like a stallion. But I really can’t help it when things happen naturally, and there’s no reason to endure it, right?
The dream of being a hero has been shattered. If you can't do it seven times a night, then why not practice? It would be great to get more sleep every day.
"Did you really go collect the medicine?" After soaking the medicine, Yang Dongxu walked into the room with a meat bun in his mouth. He looked at the snakeskin bags placed in front of the window with a puzzled look on his face.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Old Man Xuan glared at Yang Dongxu.
This made him scratch his head even more. He went to collect some medicine. As for not seeing anyone for several days at the end of the year, not even celebrating the Spring Festival together? Nalan Yi was so mysterious that he tested him?
Forget it, just take the medicine as you said. Yang Dongxu curled his lips and muttered in his heart, then curiously opened the snakeskin bag and took a few glances. He knows most of the medicinal materials. He drinks this stuff every day. He has been running around for several years and he doesn't know it.
"What do you think of Cixi?" Old Man Xuan suddenly asked as he was sorting the medicinal materials again.
Yang Dongxu was drooling while holding an authentic wild ginseng. He was imagining whether it would make up for the nosebleeds if stewed with a wild turtle and a three-year-old rooster. Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.
"What do you think?" He didn't react for a moment.
"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Old Man Xuan shook his head and continued to sort out the medicinal materials.
This made Yang Dongxu couldn't help but look at Old Man Xuan, something was really going on. Otherwise, why would Old Man Xuan, who has always been so forthright in doing things, become so hesitant now? But since Old Man Xuan didn't ask, there was no point in asking, so Yang Dongxu shrugged.
As for what you think of Cixi?
When many people hear this question, their first reaction is definitely disgust, even hatred. He believes that the reason why China has a history of being humiliated by foreign powers for hundreds of years is all caused by this old witch.
But Yang Dongxu didn't think so. He felt that Cixi was just like that. Although she was hateful, she was also pitiful. The hateful reason is of course that she has no great talents but only internal fighting but she occupies a high position. She has an unshirkable responsibility for turning China into a fat pig for the great powers.
But having said that, she is just a little woman, and the policy of seclusion was not issued by her. Although he is incompetent but steals a high position, if it were Yang Dongxu, he might not be able to generously abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
He is obviously the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he wants the wind and the rain to come, but for the development of the country and the prosperity of the people, he then steps down and lets talented people take over?
Are you kidding me? A normal person wouldn't do this. Saints are not that easy to do. Although Cixi is the Queen Mother, she is also a normal person, right?
Therefore, Yang Dongxu has always scorned those experts who criticized Cixi and even imposed China's century-old humiliation on a woman named Cixi.
At that time, those men didn't have the ability to say anything. Although Cixi controls the political power, is she really the one who has the final say? A group of ambitious people did not knock a woman down to get to the top.
In other words, they are all defeated, so who are they to evaluate the victors? Why did you wait until she was dead to say these things? Why didn't you just stand up and accuse her while she was alive like those fearless heroes?
So when some experts put many charges on Cixi, a woman, Yang Dongxu curled his lips and said nothing. If Cixi were still alive and these experts dared to show their teeth and say any of these comments, he would directly like them. Who doesn’t know how to follow others’ opinions and act with hindsight?
Of course, these don't matter, it's just a profile, you don't have to be an angry youth. Compared with this, the most important thing for him now is to calmly ask for advice about wild mountain ginseng and wild turtles, and whether a three-year-old rooster can be a big supplement.
"This is a century-old wild ginseng. Not to mention the yang-tonifying things like turtles and big roosters, just eat this whole ginseng and see if it can help you." Old man Xuan glanced at Yang Dongxu.
"Haha, just asking, asking, is this a century-old wild ginseng?" Yang Dongxu smiled coquettishly, and then reacted: "Baby, big baby."
Centennial ginseng, this is a rare and good thing. In future generations, this thing can be said to be rare. I don’t know how many rich people who are in poor health want to buy one of these things at a high price, but they can’t get what they want.
The medicinal materials were sorted and put in the medicine cabinet next to them. The unused ones were such as the old wild ginseng and other valuable medicinal materials. Open the basement entrance and move down.
At this time, half of the wooden shelves in the basement were filled with things, including porcelain, jade, some calligraphy and paintings, and even a few good bronzes. These were all the fine products selected by Old Man Xuan.
Even the set of antiques used in the royal palace were not put into the basement, but were used in the room on the ground. This shows how high-quality the antiques that can enter the basement are.
Of course, in addition to these fine products, Old Man Xuan also received many other good things, most of which were used in the decoration of the rooms in the courtyard.
For example, the tables and chairs in the hall are all old items, and even the bed where old man Xuan sleeps is also a good thing.
As for some of the porcelain or screens placed in the room, they are also old items. Therefore, in addition to the surprisingly large size of Yang Dongxu's courtyard house, the furnishings in the room, even the recliners, stone tables and benches in the yard, would be scary to death if one were to evaluate them carefully.
This is before the sharp rise in antique prices. If it is put ten years later, it will definitely be an amazing fortune. So now Yang Dongxu feels that he is very good at showing off. He is simply luxurious and low-key. His improvement in personality has reached a new level.
"By the way, Old Man Xuan, someone from the Tie family came two days ago, but he went back again while you were away." After sending all the things to the basement, Yang Dongxu remembered something and said after coming up.
