Three days later, the old man came as promised. However, the old man did not say a word when he arrived in front of Jiang Shan. He only glanced at him and sat on the stone bench in the corridor.
After the old man sat down, Jiang Shan cupped his fists at him and took three steps back. Then, he began to practice the Tendon Changing Classic, which he had just learned of.
At first glance, the old man didn't care much, but the more he looked at the old man, the brighter his eyes became. After the martial arts of the mountains and rivers ended, the old man came up to him and patted his shoulder."I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it. Young man, not only are you born with an excellent constitution, but you have also trained hard. Moreover, your mind is extraordinary, and your perseverance is even more extraordinary. You are really a rare martial arts genius. Come, practice again. Practice again and remember what I said. Up-"
Hearing the old man's shout, Jiang Shan hurriedly held his breath and stood still. He began to practice the first move of the Tendon Changing Classic slowly while listening carefully to the old man's words.
"Tendon Changing Classic was passed down as a godly legend in ancient times, but in modern times and now, not many people take it seriously. The Yijin Jing focused on movements and postures. Although it didn't force the user to guide their breath, the practitioner's heart had to follow the movements and mind. Remember, when you practice, you must have nothing in your hands, but you must have something in your heart. For example, when Skanda offered a pestle, although there was no pestle in his hand, he must have thought that his hands were holding that divine weapon. Hugging the moon in your arms, not only must you think of the full moon in your heart, but your hands must also feel like you are really hugging the moon, feeling her roundness, brightness, and heaviness.……。When practicing the Red Phoenix Facing the Sun, you have to really imagine yourself as a phoenix flying towards the sun.……”
Jiang Shan practiced each move while the old man spoke bit by bit. Just like that, he practiced the Tendon Changing Classic for more than 40 minutes.
"Alright, let's continue with the Horse Stance." Jiang Shan had just finished his cultivation when the old man spoke again.
Jiang Shan didn't act pretentious. He immediately took a deep breath, then followed the steps of rising, spreading his arms, squatting down, and forming a stance.
"Hmm, not bad, but you have to remember that the flat part must be parallel to the ground, and the upright part must be vertical to the ground. His feet were ten thousand pounds, his arms were a thousand pounds, his chest was full of all things, and his head was above the sky. "Alright, stop practicing, get up." After the old man finished instructing him to stop practicing and stand properly, he said,""Young man, you've already grasped the essence of Shaolin Kung Fu in these two aspects. I'll teach you a set of palm techniques to better stimulate the potential in your body. In addition…Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. When you've mastered this palm technique and we meet again in the future, I'll tell you. "Watch…" The old man began to move as he spoke. As he practiced the palm technique, he said to Jiang Shan,"This palm technique has a total of five moves, called the Tiger Subduing Palm. This is specially designed for those who have mastered the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture, and it's just right for you to practice. Alright, I'll rehearse it again. Watch carefully. Based on your memory, you should have memorized it just now.”
After the old man finished speaking, he stepped back, spread his arms, and kicked with one foot. Then, he began to practice. After practicing the Tiger Subduing Palm, the old man was not angry and did not sweat. Jiang Shan secretly admired him when he saw this. Just as he was about to speak to the old man, he saw the old man put his hands behind his back and turn around to leave.
Although Jiang Shan was reluctant, he knew the rules. After watching the old man leave, he closed his eyes and recalled the palm technique the old man had just practiced. She gestured in her heart…
A few months later, his eldest brother, Li Jun, and his eldest sister, Wei Wei, moved away. Jiang Shan moved into their apartment. Once he moved in, he tidied up the place briefly and went to the West Park apartment for a walk. In the end, he chose a forest in Cuiping Park not far from the West Park apartment as his morning and evening practice place.
Jiang Shan had already gotten used to practicing nonstop in the morning and evening. Even if he couldn't exercise outdoors on rainy and snowy days, he would still practice indoors. Therefore, on the night of the move, Jiang Shan went to the forest to train.
Usually, Jiang Shan would train later in the evening. He wasn't afraid of being peeked at or being laughed at. He chose to train later because there were fewer people and it was quieter.
After walking into the forest and stabilizing his breathing, Jiang Shan first performed a round of Tiger Subduing Palm as a warm-up. After finishing a set of palm techniques, Jiang Shan was about to practice Yijinjing when he suddenly heard someone behind him say,""You can practice your palm in the forest, or you can pretend that the trees are tigers and leopards. However, one had to choose an open space to practice mental cultivation techniques and internal arts. One could have their back to the tree, face the water, and do it under the sun and moon. If he was in the forest, the damp and cold air at night would invade his body and bring about unexpected disasters.”
"Uncle?" The voice sounded familiar, and when he turned around to look, the figure seemed even more familiar. Therefore, Jiang Shan hurriedly ran over and said,"Uncle, it really is you."
"Oh, hehehe, it's you, young man. I was wondering why there were still people practicing in the park so late at night.”The old man said with a smile after seeing the person's face.
"Uncle, please accept my gratitude for your guidance.”Jiang Shan was about to kneel. The old man supported Jiang Shan and said,"It's just pointing a little. It's nothing." Hey, young man, why are you here?”
Jiang Shan bowed to the old man and said,""I have a big brother who bought a new house to take care of my sister-in-law and moved to live near the hospital. I moved in temporarily and brought them to look at the house.”
"Uncle, my name is Jiang Shan. May I ask your surname, Gao?" Jiang Shan asked.”
The old man heard this and said,"Jiangshan, Jiangshan, this name is good, hehe." My surname isn't high. My surname is Tan. We meet again after a few months. It seems that we are really fated. I come here almost every day. If you need anything, come here and find me. Alright, you can go practice. I should go home.”
"Uncle Tan, take care. I hope you can give me some guidance in the future.”Jiang Shan bowed and sent the old man off.
"Yes, I will, I will. Train well.”The old man turned around and left.
From then on, Jiang Shan would appear in front of the forest in Cuiping Park at around 10 pm every night. The old man surnamed Tan sometimes came and sometimes didn't. Even when he was around, he would sometimes give pointers to the country, and sometimes he would just look at the country without saying a word.
To Jiang Shan, this time of the day was the time he looked forward to the most. Even if he could only hear Uncle Tan's advice or speak to him for a few days, he felt that he had benefited a lot.
Today, he came to the forest as usual. He didn't expect Uncle Tan to be sitting on a bench by the lake. When Jiang Shan saw this, he rushed forward and said,"Hello, Uncle Tan."
"Are you late today?" Uncle Tan asked calmly.
"Yes, there were a few guests at home today. I just sent them off.”Jiang Shan replied.
"Did you drink?" Uncle Tan asked again.
"Yeah, I, I drank a few glasses." Jiang Shan answered honestly.
"Then it's best not to practice today. Otherwise, it will hurt your body. If you don't do well, you might even go berserk.”
"Oh, I'll listen to uncle. I'll try not to drink in the future.”
"Hahaha, mountains and rivers, drinking is a happy thing in life. Therefore, as long as you knew what wine to drink and when to drink, there was no need to not drink. Also, after drinking, one must wait until the alcohol had sobered up and six hours had passed before practicing.”
"Uncle, I've remembered the name."
"Jiang Shan, I've known you for two to three years, but I've never heard you talk about your family. Who was at home now? Why did you come to the city alone?”Uncle Tan changed the topic and asked about the family affairs of Jiang Shan.
"Oh, please forgive me, uncle. In the past, I was focused on my cultivation, so I didn't mention it. Uncle, my home is in the mountains in the north. Our village is called Zhuma Village. I have a grandmother and a younger sister at home." Jiang Shan did not mention Niu Niu. Although he had known Uncle Tan for a long time, he did not know this mysterious old man very well.
"Oh, what about your parents?" Uncle Tan asked casually.
"I haven't seen my parents since I was two years old. When I was young, my grandmother told me that they went to work far away. When I was young, every time I asked my parents, Grandma would hide in the house and cry alone at night, so I stopped asking. I think Grandma will tell me when the time comes.”
"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, Jiangshan. I shouldn't have asked.”Uncle Tan said regretfully.
