"Mom, my master praises me for my talent. I can master martial arts as soon as I learn it, and I can master it as soon as I practice it." Xiang Nan seemed to be feeling emotional when he saw her, and quickly followed her words.
"Yeah." The big-mouthed girl nodded and suddenly asked, "Son, do you really want to practice martial arts?"
"Yes, mother." Xiang Nan said.
"Why?" Big Mouth Girl asked curiously.
"Mom, we have a lot of talents at Tongfu Inn. The shopkeeper is the eldest lady of the Longmen Escort Bureau, Bai Zhantang is the second best in the world in Qinggong, Mo Xiaobei is the leader of the Hengshan Sect, and Guo Furong is the daughter of Guo Juxia. They all have a bright future.
Although the scholar does not know martial arts, he can read and write, and will be promoted to an official position in the future. I am the only one who knows nothing except cooking. Mom, I don’t want to be inferior to others, I also want to be respected by others. "Xiang Nan's words were serious and genuine.
"Son, you know, the road in the world is not so easy. Fighting, bloodshed, intrigues, grudges..." Big Mouth Girl said again.
"Mom, I know that the road to martial arts is difficult, but which road is easy?" Xiang Nan sighed, "A scholar has been studying literature, but he has failed in many trials, and his family property has been sold off;
When doing business, the shopkeeper has to attract customers, pay taxes, and make calculations for the sake of a little profit; I sit in the kitchen every day, smoky and busy...
Mom, my master said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness and death, not being able to seek what you want, separation from love, meeting resentments and hatred, and the five yin beings. Since it’s all suffering, it’s better to choose the path you want to take. Even if this is painful, at least you can enjoy the pain, right? "
The big-mouthed girl was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, since you want to learn martial arts, then I will teach you for my mother's sake."
She originally did not want her son to practice martial arts. Just like what Su Dongpo said in a poem, "Everyone raises his son hoping to be smart, but I have been misled throughout my life by being smart. I only hope that my child will be stupid and reckless, and he will be able to serve as a minister without any disaster."
But now that her son had learned martial arts and embarked on a journey of martial arts due to some strange combination of circumstances, she could no longer abandon her son. In this case, it would be better to teach him more self-defense skills.
In this way, he will have more ability to protect himself when he travels in the world in the future.
"You?!" Xiang Nan was really shocked.
He just wanted to achieve Amitabha status if Big Mouth Girl didn't destroy his martial arts, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain!
…
"Why, you think I'm not qualified to be a mother?" The big-mouthed woman smiled, and suddenly she flicked her finger and saw a hole in the ground two feet away.
"..." Xiang Nan was shocked.
From a distance of two feet, he could still poke a hole in the ground. Such martial arts were something he had never heard of or seen before.
"Mom, how come you know martial arts? What kind of martial arts are you doing?" he asked quickly.
"I'll tell you my story later." Big Mouth Girl waved her hand and said, "My move is called the magical power of snapping fingers. Although the move is simple, it is extremely powerful. As long as the internal force is strong, even if you are two or three feet away, you can still Injuring people in the air."
"That's amazing." Xiang Nan said with admiration upon hearing this.
It's really amazing to be able to hurt people in the air even from a distance of two or three feet. Such strength is probably no worse than Bai Sanniang, Guo Juxia, and Gongsun Wulong.
"Son, your internal strength already has a foundation. As long as you practice hard, you will achieve success in the future. Therefore, there is no need to abandon it and practice it as your mother's internal strength." Dazui Niang said again.
She had just heard Xiang Nan practice Prajna Palm and knew that he had already achieved some success in his internal skills.
"Fortunately, the magical power of finger snapping can be activated regardless of any internal strength. Listen carefully, my mother will teach you the key to finger movement now." She continued.
Xiang Nan listened carefully. He had a very high IQ and a good memory. He could remember everything after listening to it only once. Then he followed the law, picked up a stone on the ground, and flicked it with his fingers.
Just listen to the sound of the stone falling, and it shoots out with more force than a slingshot, and it hits the tree with a bang. Unfortunately, it failed to be nailed into the tree trunk and fell to the ground.
"Well, the first time I tried it, I had such strength, which is pretty good." The big-mouth girl nodded, "But son, you can't be complacent yet. When you practice until you can snap your fingers and exert your strength without making any sound, then you will be considered successful. Official entry."
When Xiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
Only by snapping your fingers and exerting your energy, and in silence, can you get started. What will it be like if we reach Dacheng?
Hearing what my mother said, not only did he not feel afraid of difficulties, but he became more and more looking forward to Dacheng's magical power.
"Yes, mother, my son will definitely work hard." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Okay, this is my mother's good son." Big Mouth Mother said with satisfaction, "Okay, you go back first. When you go home tomorrow, mother will teach you how to identify, tap, and resolve acupoints."
"Yes, mother." Xiang Nan said goodbye to my mother immediately and returned to Tongfu Inn.
The big-mouthed girl walked him out of the house and then sighed, "Hey, I hope my decision wasn't a mistake."
…
After Xiang Nan returned to Tongfu Inn, he told the innkeeper that he wanted to go home and live in the name of taking care of his mother.
Firstly, you can learn the magical power of finger snapping from my mother, and secondly, you can avoid Guo Furong's pursuit.
In order to learn Jingtao Palm a few days ago, Xiang Nan deliberately made friends with Guo Furong and gave her gifts every now and then, which gained her a lot of favorability.
In addition, he has a very high affinity with women, so he unknowingly gained Guo Furong's favor.
But Xiang Nan had no such thoughts about her. He really felt that Lu Xiucai was more suitable for her.
In this case, it is better to move out. In this case, reduce contact and the relationship will naturally cool down.
Although doing this is a bit like a scumbag, Xiang Nan believes that this result should be the best for Guo Furong.
"It's okay to go home and live there." Tong Xiangyu agreed, "But you are not allowed to be late. Once you are late, you will be deducted one penny."
Xiang Nan nodded.
His monthly salary was only three taels of silver, which was one penny a day. If you are late once, you will be deducted a fee, which is equivalent to a day's work in vain.
The shopkeeper is worthy of being a shopkeeper, and his abacus is very good.
…
Just as Xiang Nan was about to go back to the kitchen to prepare for the evening meal, Guo Furong quietly came over and said, "Brother Big Mouth, let me tell you a secret. It turns out that Lao Bai is actually the thief of White Jade Soup."
"No way?! How did you know?" Xiang Nan was surprised when he heard this and asked quickly.
"He can tell it himself." Guo Furong smiled, and then told the whole story.
It turns out that a customer named Murong Yan came to the shop just now. She saw that Bai Zhantang possessed peerless Qinggong and accidentally said the four words "Baiyu Zhantang", so she arrested him and prepared to take him to Six Gates to receive the reward.
Bai Zhantang was forced to confess his identity to Murong Yan. As a result, Tong Xiangyu, Guo Furong, Lu Xiucai and Mo Xiaobei who were guarding the door also heard it.
As a result, Bai Zhantang's identity was officially exposed.
"I see. No wonder he knows Sunflower Acupuncture and has such good Qinggong. His reputation as the Saint of Thieves is indeed well-deserved." Xiang Nan nodded.
"I also didn't expect that Lao Bai, who has always been unconventional, would actually be the Thief Saint I admire most." Guo Furong said with admiration.
