When Gu Peng saw that his father's injury had improved, he became even more excited and didn't even know how to express his gratitude to Shen Qi.
Feng Jue and the other three were so shocked that they could not say anything more. If they had not seen with their own eyes that Grandpa Gu's injuries had improved, they would not have believed that someone could find a way to help Grandpa Gu recover in such a short time!
At this moment, a common question arose in their minds: Who is Shen Qi?
What is his background?
Why is he so powerful that he can find the crux of the problem of the old man so quickly and help the old man recover from his injuries easily?
This method is probably beyond the power of ancient martial arts!
Could it be that there is something in this world more profound than ancient martial arts?
Shen Qi patted Gu Peng's shoulder and said, "Master Gu, don't be so excited. Grandpa Gu's injuries have stabilized. As long as he does what I say, he should be fine. In three to five days, he will be able to get out of bed. However, before he fully recovers, I still suggest that Grandpa Gu get more rest and more nutrition."
"Okay, I'll remember that!"
Gu Peng nodded repeatedly.
Shen Qi looked at Grandpa Gu again and asked, "Grandpa Gu, how do you feel now?"
The old man nodded and said, "It feels great. I haven't felt this good in the past ten years!"
Shen Qi smiled, "Okay, I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about in private."
Old Man was curious again. He was sure that this was the first time he and Shen Qi met. Before this, he didn't know Shen Qi and Shen Qi didn't know him, so what did Shen Qi want to talk to him alone at this time?
However, Grandpa Gu decisively asked Gu Peng and others to leave, leaving only him and Shen Qi in the room.
"Mr. Shen Qi, please tell me what you want to say."
Shen Qi said, "Master Gu, what do you think is the biggest problem facing the inheritance of ancient martial arts today?"
The old man frowned immediately. "The biggest problem facing the ancient martial arts inheritance? What is this problem? Mr. Shen Qi, just say what you want to say. You just saved my life. If you have any requests, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"
Seeing this, Shen Qi didn't bother to be polite with Old Man Gu and said directly, "According to my understanding, the inheritance of ancient martial arts is centered on the family, and there is also screening within the family. Only those with sufficient talent can stay to practice ancient martial arts, and those who lack talent will be sent out to manage the family business. Is that right?"
When Old Man Gu heard this, he roughly knew what Shen Qi was going to say, but he did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he nodded in acknowledgment and waited to see what Shen Qi was going to say.
Shen Qi continued, "Since the founding of Xia Nation, the domestic situation has become increasingly stable, and technology has been continuously advancing. However, Xia Nation's martial arts have been declining. Now, it can even be described as withering. The Taekwondo of a small barbarian nation can actually bully our Xia Nation's martial arts. Is this what you want to see?"
The old man shook his head. "Of course not! But Xia Country's martial arts require long-term practice. They won't produce results overnight. And the pace of life is much faster now than before. It's hard for young people to calm down and practice."
"Take our Gu family for example. There are many talented people among our younger generations, but not everyone can calm down and devote themselves to practicing ancient martial arts. After seeing the prosperity of the outside world, most of them turn their attention to the outside world. How can they possibly endure the hardships of practicing?"
"In the past, our ancient martial arts family was open to everyone in the family. Anyone interested could learn it. But things are different now. There are too few people who truly want to practice ancient martial arts. We can only adopt some measures. We identify the talents of children when they are young. Those with sufficient talent are allowed to live here in seclusion and have as little contact with the outside world as possible. Those with less talent are sent out to manage the business, and their contact with each other is minimized. But even so, there are still some people with sufficient talent who give up practicing, which is also a headache for me."
"So all I can say is that in this current environment, there are too few people who truly want to practice Xia Country's martial arts, and the role that Xia Country's martial arts can play is becoming increasingly limited. This is the real reason for the decline of Xia Country's martial arts. This is not something we can change, and all we can do is try our best."
Seeing the old man's attitude, Shen Qi shook his head again.
"No, you're wrong!"
"You were wrong from the beginning!"
"Xia Nation's martial arts training does require a significant amount of time, and it doesn't quite fit in with the pace of modern society. However, these are external factors. They may play a role, but they are definitely not the real reason for the decline of Xia Nation's martial arts."
"Before coming here, I joined the Xia Country Traditional Martial Arts Research Association and worked with President Wu Qingchuan to promote traditional martial arts online. You should know about this, right?"
Grandpa Gu nodded, "I know, Gu Peng told me."
Shen Qi continued, "Now that you know, it's easy."
"Before the establishment of the Traditional Martial Arts Research Association, the decline of traditional martial arts was already very obvious. Kickboxing, Taekwondo and the like were all stepping in to slam it, which further accelerated the decline of traditional martial arts. However, after we vigorously promoted it, we found that many young people were interested in traditional martial arts and wanted to learn it."
"The reason they didn't take action before was because they weren't stimulated enough by external forces, and they couldn't find a place where they could truly learn traditional martial arts. Our promotion perfectly solves these two problems."
