Longevity in martial arts begins with the fusion of martial arts

Chapter 3 Entering the Martial Arts Hall

After finally comforting Lu Jing, Lu Yuan turned around and returned to Mustache's shop.

Seeing that there were no customers in the shop, Lu Yuan got straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Hu, please advance the three taels of silver to me and lend me another five taels."

There was nothing he could do, Lu Yuan didn't learn martial arts alone.

Taking Lu Jing with me, I had to prepare more for renting a house and daily expenses.

Hu Wanshan, also known as Hu Wanshan, didn't react when he saw Lu Yuan coming back and asking for a loan.

But he was a businessman after all. He reacted as soon as his mind changed and asked, "Are you in trouble?"

"The gang may have a conflict with the Tiger Gang, and we are going to hide in Central City." Lu Yuan nodded, half truthfully and half falsely.

Hu Wanshan was shocked.

The Tiger Gang and the Cao Gang are considered big gangs in the outer city. They occasionally have conflicts in business, but they are not serious. Now they are going to fight?

But Hu Wanshan didn't completely believe it. He carefully pulled Lu Yuan to the second floor and asked, "Is your gang going to take action against the Tiger Gang?"

"It was Wang Yaozi from the Tiger Gang who let it slip when he was fighting with me. They should be the ones who want to take action."

Lu Yuan remained calm. Behind this shopkeeper Hu was Zhongyi Tang, which was the second largest gang in the outer city.

If you really intervene, it would be best to bite off a piece of the Tiger Gang's flesh. If you can't, it won't be bad for you. None of these gangs are good.

He casually threw the pot to Wang Yaozi.

As for whether your guess was correct? It doesn't matter, anyway, I just said it casually, and Zhongyi Hall will verify it myself, just to confirm it for myself.

"Shop Manager Wan, I've been to Zhongcheng, and our cooperation will not be interrupted. I'd like to thank Jianghu for helping me." Seeing that Hu Wanshan was still deep in thought, Lu Yuan said sincerely.

Only then did Hu Wanshan come to his senses.

"Brother, I can certainly trust you. I can give you three taels of silver in advance."

"It's just that I have never done this kind of loan business here. If I start this business, my store will be emptied by the heroes in three days."

This old fox tells lies with his eyes open, and he often lends money!

Lu Yuan could tell that he wanted to take advantage of him. Time was tight and he was not polite to him.

"Shopkeeper Hu, isn't there anything unpleasant about our cooperation these days?"

"I'm afraid I don't have 10% profit, right? I don't know if that's what the account book you submitted to Zhongyi Hall says."

Lu Yuan turned his face into the shadows, and his expression could not be seen.

"Brother, I'm in trouble. If I don't get anything done today, my sister is a big talker. I'm afraid she'll feel wronged and talk about it."

Hu Wanshan's expression changed and he looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan also raised his head and looked directly at him.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then burst into laughter.

……

Black Mountain City, Zhongcheng, Changfeng Martial Arts Hall.

The sun is scorching.

A large bungalow with a closed red door.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Who? What are you doing?" The door opened, and a dark-skinned, sturdy man came out.

"He learned from his master."

As Lu Yuan said this, he stepped forward and handed the big man two big coins.

The big man frowned. He couldn't stand the smell of Lu Yuan. As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was a red guy from the outer city.

But fortunately, Lu Yuan's etiquette was in place. Two big coins were 200 yuan, not a decimal. He immediately said: "Come in with me."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and followed the big man through the square where he practiced, the back garden, through the corridor, and in front of a main house.

"Master, someone comes to learn from me."

The big man stepped forward to knock on the door and said respectfully.

"Come in!"

A somewhat deep voice came out.

The big man led Lu Yuan to push the door open and walked in. Behind the door was a quiet room with several futons and a large vat.

An energetic old man sat cross-legged on the futon, closing his eyes and regulating his breath.

"teacher!"

The big man leading the way saluted with awe.

He didn't introduce himself to the big man, so Lu Yuan could only follow his example, salute to the old man and say: "Teacher, my disciple Lu Yuan, I'm here to be my disciple!"

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows were as bright as lightning, and he slowly spoke.

"Do you understand the rules?"

Is this a warrior?

This old man is very old, but he is not angry or intimidating, and his voice is mellow and penetrating.

Lu Yuan quickly took out his money bag, held it up with both hands, bowed and handed it over.

"My disciple sincerely joins your sect and asks the teacher to teach me martial arts!"

The old man weighed his money bag and was quite satisfied with Lu Yuan's attitude: "My rules here are that twelve taels are enough for three months' tuition. When the time is up, you have to renew it. Do you understand?"

"Disciple, don't worry."

"You will take him to your senior brother tomorrow to teach him martial arts." The old man ordered the big man.

Lu Yuan saw that it was going so smoothly and bowed again: "Thank you, Master!"

The old man waved his hand: "My name is Qi Changfeng. You can call me Master Qi or Teacher. You cannot call me Master."

It is the apprenticeship model, passing on skills but not the law, being a teacher but not a father.

Lu Yuan thanked him again and called him teacher.

Qi Changfeng then led Lu Yuan to pay homage to the portrait of the ancestor. The initiation ceremony was quite simple.

After the apprenticeship ceremony was completed, Qi Changfeng told the big man: "Han Yu, take your junior brother to get familiar with him and explain the rules."

"Yes, teacher, please walk slowly." Han Yu, also known as the big man, respectfully sent Qi Changfeng away and turned to look at Lu Yuan.

"You come with me."

"Hello, Senior Brother Han, Junior Brother has just started, please take care of me."

Han Yu nodded and took Lu Yuan for a walk in the yard: "Junior brother, do you want to stay?"

"Can I bring my family members?"

Han Yu was not surprised and explained: "Both the disciples in the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard are Datongpu. Unless they get the teacher's true teaching, they can be assigned a private room and bring their family members to live in it."

Lu Yuan was a little disappointed.

If you can bring your little sister to live in a martial arts gym, you don't have to worry about the Tiger Gang at all.

But it was impossible to obtain the true inheritance. He had inquired and found that there were only four true disciples in Changfeng Martial Arts School.

As for the rest, the disciples in the outer courtyard are probably apprentices, and the disciples in the inner courtyard are employees.

"You can live outside if you want. You can do morning exercises in the martial arts studio at all times. Just don't miss the time."

Han Yu led Lu Yuan to another courtyard and opened the door.

There are some practice equipment such as wooden stakes and stone locks in the yard.

Several disciples were practicing and all stood up: "Hello, Senior Brother Han!"

"Well, this is your new junior brother Lu Yuan. Get him a set of training clothes."

Han Yu replied casually and turned to introduce Lu Yuan.

"This is the place where the disciples from the outer courtyard practice. You will practice martial arts here later. Come early tomorrow morning and wait for Senior Brother here."

Someone handed over a set of clothes, and Lu Yuan took them respectfully, with a look on his face: "Elder brother?"

Han Yu showed a look of reverence on his face: "Elder brother is the successor of Master Qi. He is highly skilled in martial arts and is a master of Ming Jin! He is considered the number one figure in the entire Black Mountain City."

"Ming Jin?" Lu Yuan caught the key word.

But Han Yu was not interested in popularizing science with Lu Yuan and asked him to ask his senior brother tomorrow.

After confirming that Lu Yuan lived outside the martial arts hall, Han Yu just warned him not to miss the time to practice, especially the senior brother's class tomorrow.

Lu Yuan repeatedly promised that he would be on time, and then said goodbye, saying that he would go back and settle down first.

……

Out of the martial arts hall.

Lu Yuan had already changed into the standard training clothes of Changfeng Martial Arts School, pure black trousers and a white mandarin jacket, with the word "Changfeng" embroidered on the chest.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This apprenticeship went well.

I understand in my heart that I am the lowest disciple.

If you have some talent, you may be able to recruit them into the martial arts gym as a core to further teach more advanced martial arts.

If you don't have any talent, you will probably become a master and apprentice.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he teaches martial arts, his goal will be achieved.

Now he possesses a skill called "Inner Scenery Revealing Deep Thoughts".

As long as you master one more martial arts, your panel will be useful!

Relying on the advantages of upgrading his skills, he can speed up his martial arts progress and climb out of the quagmire at the bottom step by step.

What he lacks is a start.

After traveling through five months, we finally reached this point.

Seeing that the sun had not yet set, Lu Yuan went straight to where Lu Jing was working without resting and brought her near the martial arts gym.

People rely on clothes, and Lu Yuan's energy and energy changed after putting on his training clothes.

Walking all the way from the Central City to the Outer City, many people on the road looked at him with envy and respect. This was a treatment he had never received before.

The place where Lu Jing worked was an embroidery workshop, which was a courtyard. Lu Yuan quickly found the place.

Xiufang is relatively remote, and there are several beggars with mutilated bodies gathered outside the alley.

Seeing that he was wearing martial arts uniforms, he stayed away.

The weather was a bit hot and the concierge was lying on the table taking a nap.

Lu Yuan woke up the concierge who kept nodding, and only said to find the younger sister and ask him to inform Lu Jing and ask her to come out.

The concierge was startled when someone woke him up. Looking at Lu Yuan's martial arts training uniform, he thought he was in trouble.

Hearing that they were just looking for relatives, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to neglect, and asked Lu Yuan to wait for a while, then turned around and went in to report.

Not long after, Lu Jing walked out.

Seeing Lu Yuan standing at the door, she threw herself into his arms.

"elder brother!"

"I'm so worried. I've been restless all day today. I'm afraid that Wang Yazi will buy me into a brothel. I'm afraid that I won't have any relatives anymore. I'm afraid..."

Lu Yuan rubbed his little sister's head and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll take you to Zhongcheng. Everything will be fine again."

"Brother, have you really become a martial arts disciple?

How did you secretly save so much money?

Isn’t it really another secret business innovation?

Isn’t Changfeng Martial Arts School very majestic?

Do we really want to go to Midtown?

Where shall we stay for the night? In a martial arts gym? "

……

Lu Jing tugged at the corner of Lu Yuan's clothes and kept asking questions. The two of them walked in the direction of Changfeng Martial Arts School, one behind the other.
