At the gate of a large mansion, there was an old man.
This was what Chu Yunfeng saw when he opened his eyes again.
The mansion was a typical residence of a wealthy family in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
It was both unfamiliar and familiar. It was unfamiliar because he had never seen it before. He was familiar with it because he often saw it in movies and dramas.
The old man was also dressed like an old man from the late Qing Dynasty. He wore a black melon skin hat and a long black mandarin jacket, but there was no eye-catching pig tail at the back of his head. His face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were warm. He did not look like a martial arts master, but he looked rather refined.
Chu Yunfeng looked at him with a strange expression.
"Young man," the old man smiled,"from your expression, you should recognize me, right?"”
Chu Yunfeng quickly nodded.
Gong Baosen, the leading figure of the martial arts world in the movie " The Grandmaster ", was also one of the central characters that led to the plot.
Chu Yunfeng liked to watch martial arts works, so how could he miss this movie that could best express the meaning of martial arts? Among all the grandmasters in the movie, Chu Yunfeng admired this great old man the most.
He had watched the movie several times and had always thought that only this old man could truly be called a grandmaster. The others, including the protagonist Ye Wen, were all a little petty.
"That's good. It saves me the trouble of introducing myself."
Gong Baosen carefully sized up Chu Yunfeng from head to toe and nodded."Since you chose me, I will naturally teach you wholeheartedly!”After a pause, he said seriously," The Gong Clan has two ultimate techniques, Xingyi Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm. One is hard and the other is soft. My eldest disciple, Ma San, inherited the hard technique, and my daughter, Xuemei, inherited the soft technique. Which one do you want to learn?"”
" En…" Chu Yunfeng smiled awkwardly." Should I call you master?"”
"Of course, since you've entered this place, you're naturally my disciple!”Gong Baosen laughed.
Looking at Gong Baosen's kind smile, Chu Yunfeng was silent for a while. Then he suddenly bowed and said,""Disciple Chu Yunfeng greets Master!"
This was the Void Space, and Gong Baosen was an illusory figure.
He didn't know if this so-called master was real or not, but now he would rather believe that he was real.
A teacher for a day is a father for life.
He no longer had any relatives. He wanted to have more relatives. With his master, he would have more relatives.
Whether it was real or illusory, at least he had a thought.
Thus…he willingly bowed three times.
Gong Baosen looked at his nondescript kowtows, and his eyes were a little confused and hesitant. However, when he kowtowed the last time and respectfully called him "Master", the confusion and hesitation were replaced by a trace of warmth and friendliness. He went forward and gently helped him up, sighing softly,"Since you call me master, then I am your elder.”As he spoke, he took out a white and round bead from his pocket and placed it in his palm." Now, Master will give you a greeting gift! I only hope that one day, you will be able to 'divide the golden light into five colors, and the red lotus under your feet will chase ten thousand journeys'…At that time, if the fate between you and me as master and disciple has not ended, there will be a time for us to meet in person!”
Chu Yunfeng took the beautiful pearl that was emitting a chill, but he was still in a daze. Although he didn't understand the meaning of those two lines of the poem, he could tell from his master's last sentence that it was the time to meet in person?
Could it be…
"Don't ask, don't mention it again. When the time comes, we'll naturally know!”
Gong Baosen revealed a mysterious expression and smiled." Time is precious. Now, I will officially take you on the path to heaven!”
.....．
In the quiet back garden of the mansion.
One master and one disciple.
Gong Baosen said calmly," Disciple, Xingyi and the Eight Trigrams are complementary techniques. Generally speaking, those martial arts masters from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China who practiced Xingyi would definitely understand the Eight Trigrams, and those who practiced the Eight Trigrams would also definitely know Xingyi. You have 420 days to learn from me. There's plenty of time, so I suggest that you practice both Xingyi Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm. How about it?"”
"Master, you're an expert. Of course I'll listen to you!" Chu Yunfeng said excitedly.”
"That's good…There are three forms of martial arts. The highest is fighting style, which is used for life and death battles. The second was training, health care, and the last was performance, such as martial arts stars... No matter what, they all needed a solid foundation! Whether it was Xingyi or the Eight Trigrams, the Three Postures were the most basic of all basic skills. If one practiced the Three Postures well, they would be like a walking mountain that could not be moved.”
"Feel every inch of your spine, from head to toe, and then to your tail. Head, body, tail, three stances in one. This stance was called the Three Postures!”
Gong Baosen corrected his standing method several times and was a little speechless about his little disciple's talent.
However, Chu Yunfeng asked with a bitter face,""Master, how long do I have to stand here?”
Gong Baosen replied unhappily,"With your small body, if you want to practice the moves, you'll have to practice the Three Postures for a month first!" When you can combine this stance with walking, sitting, and lying, you can learn other skills!”
"Ah?" Chu Yunfeng, who had been dreaming of becoming an expert, was doused with a bucket of cold water." A month?”
"Be content, kid!" Gong Baosen glanced at him from the corner of his eye." If you didn't have unlimited physical strength here, it would be tough even if you added another five months!”
Chu Yunfeng was shocked, but he suddenly focused his attention on the words "unlimited stamina" and asked,"Master, what does unlimited stamina mean?”
Gong Baosen answered his question very straightforwardly,""Your guide should have mentioned to you that no matter how long you spend in this illusory realm, it will only be five minutes in the real world, right? The sense of time was actually very wonderful. Time was not an absolute existence. Everyone had an unknown organ to sense the existence of time, but everyone's sense of time was different. It was like when you were happy, you felt that time was shorter, but when you were in fear and pain, you felt that time was longer. It was as if when a person was sleeping soundly without a dream, when they woke up, they would feel that the illusory realm was a tool that could manipulate time! The time you spend here will be extended by dozens of times, or even hundreds or thousands of times. Therefore, no matter what you do here, it will only take an incense stick to burn in the outside world!”
Chu Yunfeng was dumbfounded."Then what's the point of cultivating here? To enhance the brain's knowledge and reaction ability?”
"This is the magical part of the illusory realm!”
Gong Baosen looked a little proud and said," It will reflect all your efforts here to your body in the outside world, so there's no need for you to worry!”
"Doesn't that mean that if I put in a piece of Primordial Jade here, I can completely use 30 days of time to cultivate without wasting a single bit?”
Chu Yunfeng didn't know why his master was so proud of himself, but he suddenly felt like he had made a huge profit. It was like buying something worth 1000 dollars at a small stall and suddenly realizing that it was worth more than 10000 dollars when he got home.
It was said that a person's life was rarely seventy years old, but one-third of it had to sleep. Spending one Essence Jade in exchange for 30 days of time, but if one were to calculate it normally, excluding eating, sleeping, and the necessary rest, the most that could be used for cultivation was about 15 days. With nearly double the time, it was naturally a huge profit.
"Alright, brat, I've already told you what you need to know!”
After Gong Baosen finished laughing, his expression immediately changed. He reprimanded," Go and stand still!”
"…Oh!"
" Oh," Chu Yunfeng said. He stood there for nearly 20 days, which was equivalent to four to five months for a martial artist.
He had felt bored before, but he had become addicted to it. Day and night, he placed all his attention on his spine, pushing from head to tail, and then groping from tail to head.
On this day, Gong Baosen was finally satisfied. Chu Yunfeng obediently withdrew his stance. However, the Three Postures had already been integrated into his bones. Even if he was walking, sitting, or lying normally, he would unconsciously use the Three Postures.
At the same time, Chu Yunfeng could clearly feel that his steps were steady and agile, and all the changes were based on his own thoughts.
Now that his basic skills had come to an end, what was next was naturally the Gong Family's martial arts that Chu Yunfeng had been itching for.
