The old Taoist didn't mention the matter of passing on the martial arts, but Zhou Wen knew it clearly. When he helped the old Taoist heal his injuries today, he realized that his deep inner energy was gone. He knew that it was probably because he helped him yesterday. But such a great favor cannot be done by just saying thank you, Zhou Wen also has an idea in his mind.
But what Zhou Wen didn't know was that although the old Taoist had used the power of Prajna to force out the extremely poisonous poison, his heart and lungs had already been injured because he had been poisoned for too long. Now that he no longer has the ability to regulate his internal energy, and because he is old, he is probably not going to die soon. .
After Zhou Wen finished massaging Lao Dao, he started massaging Zhang Xiaoping. As soon as the prajna energy entered, it was coerced and circulated throughout Zhang Xiaoping's body just like yesterday. But Zhou Wen also had experience. When inputting, he used the Wudang mind method taught by an experienced Taoist. The effect was surprisingly good, and the consumption of Prajna energy was not large. Soon, Zhang Xiaoping's injuries slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The old Taoist said happily: "My little friend not only helped him heal his injuries this time, but also helped him generate countless energies. As long as he recovers from his injuries, I am afraid he will be able to enter the Qi Jin Mirror soon. Although my disciple It's quite a collision, but the blessings are quite good."
He also knew that he didn't have much time, so he struck while the iron was hot and wanted to give his last wish.
So he continued: "Lao Dao, my little friend and I are destined to be friends. After this incident, Lao Dao also felt that in troubled times, no matter how strong your martial arts skills are, it is difficult to protect yourself alone. This disciple, Lao Dao, has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and has extraordinary talents. Although I am a master and apprentice with Lao Tao, I feel the same affection as father and son. I want to entrust Lao Tao to my little friend.
I also heard what my little friend said outside today. As a person, I think my little friend is a person who values friendship and responsibility, and he is also a person with Buddhist great fortune. Entrust my disciple to my little friend, I can rest assured. I don’t expect him to be promoted and rich in the future, or have a bright future. I just hope that he can have a foothold in troubled times and have a place to use what he has learned. "
The old Taoist said it casually, but Zhou Wen was heartbroken when he heard it. A martial arts master of a generation lived in seclusion in the mountains and was free from the world, but in the end he was ravaged by a few bandits. As a result, he lost all his martial arts skills and became disheartened and devoted himself to being alone.
This is the tragedy of Chinese martial arts! No matter how good your martial arts skills are, when faced with guns and cannons, flesh and blood will never be able to stop bullets.
However, too many martial arts masters, like Taoist Priest Ziqing, either live in seclusion in the mountains or are stuck in their own ways and will not advance with the times. When the catastrophe of China comes, they have no power to resist, and many of their unique skills have been lost since then.
As a result, some small countries in later generations, having learned some superficial knowledge from Chinese martial arts, dared to call this Tao or that Tao. It is precisely that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate.
Zhou Wen is also considered a master of martial arts and considers himself a member of Chinese martial arts. He is now secretly determined to change this situation and create a new type of warrior who combines martial arts with technology. He can use martial arts foundations and concepts to better master modern weapons. Use various modern equipment more effectively.
Zhang Xiaoping, who was lying down, had already burst into tears. Looking at his master's old and pale face, he choked up silently. He is a smart man, and he actually already knows that his rude collision has caused the master to fall into a desperate situation.
Looking at the old Taoist Zi Qing, who was both a teacher and a father, he had a weak breath and a haggard expression. I felt great sadness in my heart, and at the same time I felt sorry for myself. Coupled with the pain of losing my mother and the physical and mental torture I suffered, I actually fell into a state of autism. I was extremely miserable in my heart, but I couldn't speak.
Zhou Wen was also grieving for the old Taoist in his heart. After hearing the old Taoist's words of entrustment, he actually didn't answer and just massaged Zhang Xiaoping with his heart. The old Taoist also felt embarrassed and said nothing more.
After Zhou Wen finished the massage, he suddenly knelt down in front of the old Taoist. Before the old Taoist could stop him, he kowtowed three times. He stood up and just said: "Wait a moment." and walked out.
Everyone outside was still waiting for him. Wang Huzi had already set up the incense table to pay homage to his dead son and brother. When Zhou Wen arrived, he was about to kill the bandits.
Zhou Wen first said to Wang Huzi: "Uncle Huzi, please wait a moment. I'll borrow the incense case first." Then he said to Miaohua, "Senior brother, help me move a chair to the incense case."
When everyone saw Zhou Wen's face was sad and his eyes were red, they didn't say anything.
Zhou Wen turned around and entered the house again, gently lifted Lao Dao up, helped Lao Dao put on his clothes, and walked out of the house with Lao Dao on his back. Everyone silently followed Zhou Wen to the incense table. Zhou Wen gently placed the old man on the armchair.
He knelt down on the spot facing the old Taoist and said in a deep voice: "The Taoist has been kind enough to teach me martial arts, and he has also taught me the martial arts. Zhou Wen is not talented. Today, he petitions the heavens and is willing to become a disciple under the Taoist. , begging the Taoist Master to take him in." After saying that, he fell to the ground.
Old Taoist Zi Qing was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Before, Tuogu thought Zhou Wen was in trouble and didn't want to take him in. Who knows that people have already made up their mind that if they worship me as their master, then they and Xiao Ping will become their fellow apprentices, right? Do we still need to support each other? Isn't it natural for a senior brother to take care of his junior brother?
What's more, his efforts have been exhausted and he has only a few days to live, so he can't teach him anything. Not only does he take care of his junior brother, he also has to bear the responsibility of taking care of himself.
The old Taoist didn't think that Zhang Xiaoping was a senior, so he must be a junior. Such a kind, caring and capable disciple cannot be found even with a lantern.
Thinking of this, Old Taoist Zi Qing's face was filled with tears, and he said: "It's not that I don't want to, I just feel wronged by you kid."
"My disciple doesn't feel aggrieved. With a master of martial arts like you as my master, my disciple will only be happy and honored. How can I feel aggrieved?" Zhou Wen said to the ground.
"Okay, okay, with a disciple like you who is as strong as a dragon and a tiger, how can the old Taoist not be willing?"
"Disciple pays homage to master." After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he kowtowed three times respectfully.
Miaohua had a good eye and had already prepared a cup of tea. After Zhou Wen finished kowtowing, she handed the teacup to his hand. Zhou Wen knelt and raised the tea to the old Taoist with both hands.
The old Taoist took the tea cup, took a sip, and then said: "Good disciple, you are my eldest disciple, and Xiaoping is your junior brother."
"I will obey my master's orders."
"Okay!" Everyone around cheered in unison. Wang Huzi and Old Uncle Wu even stepped forward to congratulate the old Taoist: "Congratulations to the Taoist Master for recruiting a good disciple."
Gao Xiaoshan and other young men all raised their hands to Zhou Wen and congratulated: "Congratulations to the scholar for becoming a famous teacher."
With a smile on his face, Zhou Wen returned the gifts to his master and himself one by one. Old Taoist Zi Qing was even more filled with joy, all worries and burdens had disappeared. He looked at his eldest disciple with love, not dissatisfied at all, and it seemed that most of his injuries were healed.
Zhou Wen said to the old Taoist again: "Junior brother has suffered a huge change, and he has been tortured both physically and mentally. I'm afraid he has a psychological problem. I will treat him soon. Master, don't feel bad."
The old man said hurriedly: "Don't feel bad, don't feel bad, just do it. Although this child has a rough life, he has always been smooth sailing. This time the blow was too big. I am also worried that he will not be able to pass this hurdle. Hey, he is only ten years old this year." Six years old."
