I studied abroad in modern times

"Uncle, aren't you the only younger brother to my father?"

Listening to his nephew's questions, Coach Xu's dark old face couldn't help but flush with shame. Then he became angry and pointed at the incense burner in front of him and said: "You evildoer, you still fell in love with me at the first sight, squatting at the door. You have ruined the family tradition of my Xu family by forcing people to become sworn friends!"

His nephew looked at the incense table behind him, with obvious doubts in his tone: "The Xu family's... family tradition?"

"you!"

"That's right, it doesn't matter whose nephew I am or who taught me my apprentice..."

"Oh, forget it, the child is still young and ignorant." Zheng Fa stopped in front of Xu's nephew, who was at least five years older than him, and said earnestly to Coach Xu: "Speak well, teach well, and don't do anything. ah!"

Coach Xu looked at Zheng Fa, his face even more embarrassed. He lowered his raised palm and whispered: "I made you laugh..."

Zheng Fa knew that if he didn't comfort him at this moment, Coach Xu would probably never want to see him again in his life.

He looked into Coach Xu's eyes and said, "Let's not talk about the kindness you have shown to me, Coach Xu. I also heard the young master say before that Coach Xu still wants to accept me as a disciple. In fact, I have always kept your love in mind. "

Hearing what he said, Coach Xu quickly waved his hands, but his expression became much more natural.

"You are a jade, without me..."

"Without the guidance of the coach, I might not even have the chance to stay with the Seventh Young Master as a book boy. How could I be where I am today!"

When Zheng Fa said this, even though the Xu family's uncles and nephews knew that he meant it mostly to comfort him, the sincerity in his tone still made the atmosphere less awkward.

"What happened today," Coach Xu sighed, with a hint of "It's because of this "Spiritual Crane Body" that I lost my normal mind."

""Spiritual Crane Body"?" When Zheng Fa heard that today's encounter was caused by the martial arts books in front of Coach Xu, he couldn't help but look at those books with some curiosity.

"This is what Madam asked me to teach you. It is one of the secrets of the Zhao family that is not taught. Remember, if you learn it, you can never teach it to anyone without Madam's permission!" At this point, Coach Xu The gentle face just now also had a solemn look on it.

Zheng Fa nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart: "What about the martial arts "Spiritual Crane Body"?"

"That's great!" Coach Xu wanted to say something, but suddenly saw his nephew listening with his ears propped up, pointing to the door and saying: "You go out first!"

"ah?"

"go out!"

Seeing Coach Xu's dark face, despite some reluctance, his nephew turned around and walked out of the door.

Coach Xu stood up and closed the door tightly.

Outside the door is his young disciple, and even his nephew, and he is still so defensive.

Obviously, he is really cautious about matters related to "Linghe Shen".

"You know, when I taught you "Songhe Zhuang" before, why did I look down on the martial arts schools outside?"

"Because the martial arts of our Zhao family are inherited from the immortal sect, such as the Songhe Zhuang. If you practice it, you can extend your life." Zheng Fa recalled what he said before.

"The inheritance is true, and the extension of life is also true." Coach Xu's voice lowered again: "But the most important reason is that only our Zhao family's martial arts, which is inherited from the Immortal Sect, can be used as Wu Rudao!"

"Using martial arts to enter Taoism?" Zheng Fa couldn't help but cast his eyes on the "Spiritual Crane Body".

"I don't know exactly what it means to enter the Tao through martial arts, but there has always been this legend in the world. According to the legend, one can enter the Immortal Sect through martial arts. More importantly, our Zhao family comes from the Immortal Sect, and there is also this saying!" He Turning to look at "Spiritual Crane Body": "When Madam taught this to me, she told me personally that this is the martial arts that leads to Taoism through martial arts."

"I was still thinking that maybe after practicing this, I could also enter the Immortal Sect!"

Zheng Fa nodded, understanding the preciousness of "Spiritual Crane Body" and the caution of Coach Xu.

"But... Coach, haven't you practiced before? Why are you still..."

Before Zheng Fa finished speaking, it was difficult for him to explain, why are you still deliberately licking... um, to please me?

Coach Xu seemed to understand what he meant, and his face was a little embarrassed, but after a while he laughed to himself: "I thought I let it go."

"Huh?" Zheng Fa vaguely guessed what he meant.

"Zheng Fa, do you know how long I stayed at the Zhao family?"

"I don't know."

"Like you, I am also a son of the Zhao family. I have grown up in the Zhao family since I was a child. It is now fifty-five years. But I am luckier than you. I have been in the Zhao family since I was a child. I was appreciated and started practicing at the age of ten. Wu."

Coach Xu looks like a middle-aged man, but he is already over fifty. He is obviously accomplished in martial arts.

A hint of memory appeared on his face, and he continued: "I have good qualifications. I stood out from the nursing home in ten years and was promoted to a trainer. In twenty years, I have become a first-class master in the world. I think that the world is big and I can go there." have to!"

Zheng Fa didn't say anything. He waited for Coach Xu to say what he wanted to say next.

"At that time, Madam saw that I was very talented and rewarded me with the book "Spiritual Crane Body"." Coach Xu pinched the edge of the desk with his fingers so hard that the veins on his fingers popped out: "At that time, my heart Higher than the sky, I heard that after practicing this martial arts, I could enter the immortal sect, and I was naturally extremely happy. I was determined to cultivate this spiritual crane body, transcend the ordinary world, and become an immortal in one step!"

Having said this, he slowly relaxed his fingers and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You can probably guess what happened next. I didn't practice it well."

Zheng Fa nodded, but Coach Xu's next words still surprised him.

"Do you know how long I wasted trying to practice "Spiritual Crane Body"?"

"Twenty years!"

Instructor Xu's voice was full of bitterness: "For twenty years! I have studied "The Body of the Crane" every day, and I have kept these books with me every day when I eat and sleep. I feel like I am crazy, but I have no idea. Get.”

Zheng Fa did not expect that "Spiritual Crane Body" would be so difficult to practice according to Coach Xu.

At this time, Coach Xu looked completely different from the rough man Zheng Fa knew before. His expression was full of vicissitudes of life: "When I woke up, I realized that time is like a thief and I have wasted twenty years."

"Without a wife or children, nothing could be achieved, and all my ambitions were gone, I finally decided to put down "The Body of the Crane" and returned the book to my wife."

In the room, neither of them spoke, and only Coach Xu's unspeakable regret echoed.

After a long time, Coach Xu shook his head and broke the silence with a complex smile on his face: "I heard that Madam is going to teach you the "Spiritual Crane Body". I thought that you are more talented than me, so maybe you can practice it. To achieve this martial arts.”

Zheng Fa knew clearly that according to Coach Xu, he was not necessarily more talented than Coach Xu.

"I became selfish and wanted to form a good relationship with you first. If you say that I have mastered it in the future, I will ask you for advice and there is still hope that I can master this "Spiritual Crane Body", and I will give it up. I'm still full of delusions." As he spoke, he raised his hands towards Zheng Fagong and said, "I didn't expect it, I made you laugh."

Zheng Fa didn't think that Coach Xu was too delusional. Anyone who had wasted half his life on "Spiritual Crane Body" would find it difficult not to have inner demons.

"Okay, take this "Spiritual Crane Body" back. Madam asked me to teach you. To be honest, I can't teach you much. The little things I understand may even lead you astray."

Zheng picked up a few books and just stood up when he heard Coach Xu say: "Zheng Fa, I have another unkind request..."

"Um?"

"This "Spiritual Crane Body" is difficult to practice, and I don't know how many years it will take for you to master it. But if you become famous, even if I die, you have to tell me in front of my grave." Coach Xu turned around Go, without looking at Zheng Fa, he just said in a serious tone: "Let me know that this idea of ​​using martial arts to enter Taoism is not a lie. This half of my life... is not a joke!"

"Forget it, if you can't practice within a few years, don't practice." Zheng Fa nodded, and when he turned to go out, he heard Coach Xu's somewhat deep voice again:

"Don't imitate me."
