Now that he knew that martial arts existed in this world, Lu Jing adjusted his plan in time and decided to find a way to learn martial arts first.
There is no way, this thing is too lethal for straight men who have been bombarded by martial arts movies and novels since childhood. It is comparable to a Gundam parked in front of your house. It is difficult for you not to go in and sit.
If you want to practice martial arts, you either need a teacher or a secret book.
For a newcomer like Lu Jing, who has never been exposed to any martial arts before, the latter option can actually be ruled out. He couldn't even follow the instructions for the furniture he bought at IKEA, let alone take pictures. Learn martial arts from secret books.
So I still had to find a master to at least lead him through that door.
Of course Gang Leader Jie is the best candidate. Even the Cao Gang manager is full of praise for his skills on the dock. If he is willing to give Lu Jing some guidance, there is no telling what Lu Jing will be able to achieve, at least to get started. It will be easier.
But it's a pity that the leader of the reconciliation gang is neither a relative nor a friend, and is just an ordinary member of the thousands of footmen in the Qingzhu Gang.
There was no reason for Gang Leader Jie to come here to give him special advice. Moreover, Lu Jing heard that Gang Leader Jie was an out-and-out martial arts fanatic. Apart from major matters like negotiating with the Cao Gang, daily affairs were left to the two deputy gang leaders to handle. Yes, he had been practicing behind closed doors. Even if Lu Jing came to visit him, no one would have time to pay attention to him.
Therefore, Lu Jing had no choice but to find another good teacher. Fortunately, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang was not the only one who knew martial arts. Lu Jing finally found a master who was willing to teach him kung fu.
The teacher's father's name was Zhang Sanfeng, but unfortunately it was not Zhang Sanfeng. With just one word difference, Lu Jing almost joined the famous Wudang Clan on the spot.
Of course, Mr. Zhang does not have the astonishing magical skills of Zhenren Zhang. He was not actually a walking man before, but an escort in a bodyguard agency. He traveled all over the country and visited many places. He can be said to be an experienced person. war.
However, as I got older, my legs and feet were no longer so nimble, and the second was that I couldn't kick people. The main reason was that I couldn't dodge any tough guys who didn't respect martial arts, so I retreated bravely and left the escort agency.
There are no pensions these days, and Zhang Sanfeng's only son is not very successful, so Mr. Zhang, who is over 50 years old, still has to consider how to find a job again.
It happened that the previous leader of the Qingzhu Gang enthusiastically invited him. After a few times, Zhang Sanfeng saw that the other party was sincere in inviting him, so he did not shirk anymore and became a worshiper of the Qingzhu Gang.
In general, Mr. Zhang is living quite comfortably in Wujiang City. The Qingzhu Gang bought him a small courtyard house for his family of five to live in. In addition, they will provide him with four yuan a month. In return, Zhang Sanfeng only needs to help the Qingzhu Gang when they are in trouble.
And with the strong rise of Jie Gang leader, Mr. Zhang's function of supporting the Qingzhu Gang is also weakening. Perhaps it is to make up for the four dollars he received, or because Wujiang is prosperous and a family of five needs to use it. There were too many places to make money, so about two years ago, Mr. Zhang suddenly announced that he was opening his doors to accept apprentices.
Regardless of age or martial arts qualifications, anyone from the Qingzhu Gang can become a disciple. Of course, the apprenticeship ceremony is indispensable. Zhang Sanfeng originally planned to offer ten guans because he had learned more martial arts than that, but because This time he was facing a group of porters. He was afraid that the price he offered was too high and would scare them away, so he finally settled on Wu Guan.
Mr. Zhang felt that he was quite sincere, but the porters were all rough people. All they could think about was how to save money to build a house and marry a wife. Few of them were willing to spend money to invest in themselves. So he had no choice but to cut off two more strings in the next chapter.
The remaining three bones are the dignity of a martial arts practitioner. Mr. Zhang's stubborn temper has also risen. He loves to learn but does not want to learn. If anyone asks if he can get a discount, he will have his bones broken first.
In fact, people in the martial arts world are very concerned about their kung fu. After all, there are many cases where disciples starve to death. There are few people like Zhang Sanfeng who are willing to open their doors to teach. That is to say, he has been taken care of by the Qingzhu Gang in these years, plus As he gets older, he has become more open-minded about many things. If he doesn't pass this skill on to others, he will keep it in the coffin. If anyone is willing to learn it, then he is also willing to teach it.
It's a pity that few porters in the Qingzhu Gang understand Mr. Zhang's good intentions. In the past two years, only a handful of people are willing to seek Zhang Sanfeng's apprenticeship.
So when Zhang Sanfeng saw Lu Jing coming to the door, he felt very strange, just like seeing a eunuch visiting a brothel. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you come to me to practice martial arts?"
"Yes." Lu Ding nodded and placed the bamboo-backed basket behind him on the ground, which contained three pieces of money. He then took off the badge from his waist and handed it to Zhang Sanfeng with both hands.
Zhang Sanfeng first picked up the waist tag and looked at it, "Lu Jing." Then he picked up the money in the basket and weighed it.
Lu Jing noticed that Zhang Sanfeng only used two fingers to easily pick up the three pieces of money. It seemed effortless, but you must know that a piece of money is a thousand copper coins, tied with a straw rope, and the weight is huge. He carried ten kilograms, and the three kilograms added up to thirty kilograms. This also made Lu Jing more and more convinced that the short old man in front of him had real kung fu.
"Yes, you are ambitious." Zhang Sanfeng complimented casually and asked Lu Jing to send the money into the back room. Then he asked Lu Jing for his personal information as usual, including his age and place of origin, whether there were any elders in the family, and whether he was married. , whether he has committed any crime before, etc.
Although Zhang Sanfeng is open to accept disciples, he does not refuse everyone who comes. Lu Jing is a member of the Qingzhu Gang, and he has brought all the tuition fees, which meets his most basic requirements, but in addition, his character and character must be good. When taking the exam, you should at least not be someone who deceives the master and destroys the ancestors, and does all kinds of evil. On the other hand, if the apprentice travels around the world in the future, if he causes any trouble, the master will often not be able to escape the involvement.
Zhang Sanfeng did not expect this disciple to be successful in the future and take his master to heaven together. As long as he was not allowed to ascend to heaven early, Mr. Zhang was an escort in his early years and had to deal with strong winds and waves. He did not want to overturn in his later years.
After some questioning, Zhang Sanfeng was quite satisfied with Lu Jing. Except for the fact that not many people in the family died because he was older, which was a bit tragic, everything else was pretty good. Of course, some things were not immediately obvious. He still has to observe slowly, and he will also check with other gang members in the Qingzhu Gang later, but at least for now, Zhang Sanfeng's first impression of this potential apprentice is not bad.
Especially after learning that Lu Jing had joined the Qingzhu Gang for only half a year and had saved enough money for the apprenticeship ceremony, Mr. Zhang seemed to be able to feel Lu Jing's enthusiasm for martial arts. He couldn't help but burst into tears. This is right. Young people should either study or practice. Only military generals are promising, but they always think about building a house and marrying a wife. When will they be able to get rid of poverty and become rich?
