Chapter Two Apprenticeship
Before leaving, Wu Feng did not say hello to his wife and parents, but left a letter without telling them where he was going. He just said that he could no longer face the struggle between them, so he chose to leave temporarily and live a peaceful life.
Wu Feng was no longer in the mood to think about how his family would react after leaving home. What he wanted now was to get to the place the old beggar mentioned as soon as possible.
Since meeting the old beggar, Wu Feng knew that the old beggar who looked slovenly was an expert and could easily hit four people. How could ordinary people do it?
After the good wine reception that night, Wu Feng stuck to his promise and would bring good wine and meat every night, while serving the old beggar and chatting with him.
It was very difficult at the beginning. Apart from being interested in the food and wine brought by Wu Feng, the old beggar was not interested at all in Wu Feng's advances and seemed to be indifferent.
With his hot face pressed against his cold butt, Wu Feng felt a little discouraged. However, Wu Feng's character is that one road leads to the dark side. As long as he sees something right, he will not give up easily.
Huangtian paid off, and finally on the tenth day, the old beggar began to speak. Of course, it was said that he was speaking with some reluctance. In fact, it was Wu Feng who said, and the old beggar replied with "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," but for Wu Feng, this was
This is also a big improvement.
After another five days, the old beggar began to take the initiative to talk to Wu Feng.
The old beggar who spoke after speaking shocked Wu Feng, because the old beggar in rags had profound knowledge and extraordinary conversation, and often made Wu Feng, a man who had only half a foot in college, speechless.
Speechless.
This made Wu Feng further strengthen his intuition. No matter from his conversation, knowledge or martial arts, it showed that the old beggar was definitely not an ordinary person.
When Wu Feng thought that the time had come, he made another request to become a disciple. This time, the old beggar was surprisingly silent. He took a sip of liquor and said, "You can become a disciple if you want, but I can't teach you anything."
The tone was unquestionable, making Wu Feng feel that he had been busy these days.
But before Wu Feng had time to lose heart, the old beggar's words gave him hope.
"Although I can't teach you anything, I can recommend a place for you." When he said this, Wu Feng didn't notice that a glimmer of light flashed in the old beggar's eyes, and it disappeared quickly.
Wu Feng took the train at two o'clock in the morning, a train bound for Anhui. Anhui was the destination of Wu Feng's trip and the place recommended by the old beggar. The day after the old beggar finished talking to him
, when Wu Feng wanted to find the old beggar again, he found that the old beggar had left.
Wu Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to find the place the old beggar mentioned.
He came out this time with only three thousand yuan, which was enough. Wu Feng was very excited, and he felt more and more that this trip would change his future life.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, with the sound of the whistle, the train finally arrived at Zhengzhou Railway Station.
After getting off the train, Wu Feng took a taxi directly to a place called Mengshan without eating. Mengshan is located in the suburbs of Zhengzhou and is also Wu Feng's final destination.
An hour and a half later, the taxi stopped on a road not far from Mengshan. After walking forward for about half an hour, we reached the foot of Mengshan. However, the driver did not go any further because the road ahead was
, no motor vehicles are allowed to go, I don’t know why. It’s just that everyone does it.
Wu Feng got out of the taxi, tightened his backpack tightly, and strode forward. The road ahead had become bumpy, and the wind blew from time to time, blowing away the dust on the ground.
Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the foot of Meng Mountain. Looking at the nearby hill, Wu Feng showed a smile and took a deep breath to wipe away the excitement in his heart. He glanced around, it was summer now, Meng
The bamboos on the mountain have slowly been covered with crisp green, transforming the entire dream
The mountain is dyed into a green ocean. At the foot of Mengshan Mountain, along the road we came from, the weeds on the roadside extend all the way, turning the entire road into a green passage. On both sides of the road, there are
The rows of terraced fields may look chaotic, but they give people a sense of neatness and beauty.
In the north, there are generally plains, while terraces can only be found in mountainous places like the south.
Not far away, several farmers were working in the fields. Wu Feng hesitated for a moment and walked towards the nearest old farmer.
"Uncle, may I ask, is there a man named Liu Fan here?"
Liu Fan was the name of the man whom the old beggar told him he wanted to become his disciple.
The old farmer raised his head, glanced at the young man in front of him, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I have lived here for decades and I have never heard of this person."
"Oh, that's it. Do you know if there is an old man living at the foot of the mountain?" Wu Feng asked again without giving up.
This time the farmer didn't think twice and said directly: "Yes, you are talking about Lao Bai, he is over there." The farmer pointed to the direction along the right front of the mountain road.
"It's not far, we'll be there in ten minutes," the old farmer added.
Lao Bai, that's not right. Didn't the old beggar say his surname was Liu? Why did he change his surname to Bai? Isn't he the same person?
"Excuse me, what is the name of Lao Bai you are talking about?"
"I don't know either," the old farmer said simply. "He often wears all white, so people in the surrounding villages call him Lao Bai. As for his last name, no one knows." The old farmer said honestly.
"Then it's probably him." Wu Feng thought.
After thanking the old farmer, Wu Feng walked in the direction pointed by the old farmer.
Ten minutes later, a building that should not have appeared appeared in front of Wu Feng. The reason why it should not have appeared was because on the way here, except for some villages that appeared and disappeared in the distance, no buildings were visible at all.
, but suddenly a two-story building appears, I believe many people will be surprised.
Wu Feng looked at the building carefully. He didn't understand architecture, but he could still tell that the building was old. The two-story wooden building was painted with a layer of red paint on the outside. The paint had fallen off in some places.
There was a layer of green tiles on top, and some weeds grew on it. What interested Wu Feng the most was a plaque on the gate, which said two - Geyuan.
Finally arrived, Wu Feng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the building in front of him, Wu Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of majesty, and then he couldn't help feeling nervous. He had really arrived here. He suddenly remembered the last words the old beggar said to him the night before he left, "Find that
After you get married, just say that I asked you to come and learn from his master, and he will definitely accept you, but only if you can withstand his test. Boy, learning from him is a blessing that you have earned in eight lifetimes.
You have to hold on to it."
Thinking of this, Wu Feng straightened his clothes, took a deep breath and shouted inside: "Is anyone here?"
After waiting for a while, when there was no movement, he shouted again. This time, movement soon came from inside.
Wu Feng stared at the door and waited patiently, feeling nervous again. But before he could relax, an old man in white clothes walked out.
Seeing the person in front of him, Wu Feng finally understood why the old farmer called him Lao Bai. Not only did the old man in front of him wear white clothes, his beard, hair and skin were also very white, especially his skin, which was white and smooth. How could this be expected of an old man?
Some skin. It is said that at this age, the skin should be dry and wrinkled, with age spots. But the old man's skin looks so smooth, and Wu Feng does not doubt that if it is touched, it should be elastic.
surname.
What surprised Wu Feng the most was the old man's eyes. Those eyes were clear in black and white, faintly revealing majesty. Wu Feng just looked at him and couldn't help but look away. Wu Feng was shocked in his heart.
These are definitely not the eyes that an ancient man should have.
Master, absolute master.
"Is there a person named Liu Fan here?" Wu Feng asked carefully.
"What do you want from Liu Fan?" the old man's voice was loud.
"It was an old man named Liu Laojiu who asked me to come to him." Wu Feng didn't dare to hide it.
"Liu Laojiu," the old man murmured.
"I am Liu Fan, how do you know Liu Laojiu?" The old man thought for a moment and then replied.
Wu Feng had already guessed that the old man was the person he was looking for. Hearing him admit it himself, he was not surprised, so he told the story of his acquaintance with the old beggar. After he finished speaking, he found that the old man did not say anything, so
I secretly looked at the old man. I saw that the old man looked a little dazed. After a while, he said softly: "I didn't expect that he is living like this now. Hey, it's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Wu Feng didn't dare to interrupt. He knew there must be a story in it, but the old man didn't tell it, so he didn't dare to ask.
After the old man finished sighing, he remembered Wu Feng's purpose for finding him and said, "Do you want to learn Kung Fu?"
"Yes". Wu Feng answered firmly this time.
The old man slowly walked towards Wu Feng and stopped one meter away from him.
"Raise your head." His tone was undeniably majestic.
Wu Feng raised his head, but his eyes still did not dare to look at the old man.
"Huh." The old man snorted softly. Then he let Wu Feng and walked away. From the beginning of walking, Wu Feng suddenly felt that the air around him had become solidified, his breathing was not smooth, his whole body was restless, and his heart was anxious.
It felt like it was jumping out of my throat, and I was sweating all over my body.
In this solemn atmosphere, Wu Feng's legs were trembling slightly, and he could barely stand without falling. When the old man finished walking around and returned to the original standing position, the solemn feeling suddenly
disappear.
The instantaneous gap made Wu Feng suddenly feel relieved and almost fell to the ground. He felt that his whole body was wet with sweat. He was very confused: what happened just now? Could it be that he had a cold.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old man's voice came: "Hey, my physique is not bad, but it's a pity that I missed the best stage of learning martial arts. I'm afraid..." What he was afraid of, the old man didn't say, but Wu Feng understood that he was afraid that he wouldn't have it.
What an achievement.
Wu Feng heard the old man's words clearly, so as soon as the old man finished speaking, he quickly raised his head and said to the old man: "Master, please accept me as your apprentice. Although I learned late, I will work very hard in the future, and I will definitely not
Let the master down." In order to show his determination, he did not avoid the old man's eyes this time, resisting the urge to move away, and looked at the old man.
"Are you sure? Not only is it hard to learn kung fu, but you also have to lose a lot of things. Are you really willing?"
Wu Feng didn't answer this time, he just stared into the old man's eyes and nodded heavily.
"Okay, come in with me." The old man turned and walked toward the door.
Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief again and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He looked at each other as if they were looking at the sun, which made him dizzy.
