Chapter 36: Class
Zheng Fa's comprehension of "Spirit Crane Body" was not ideal. He had basically learned the Songhe Posture. The martial art "Spirit Crane Piercing Clouds Hand" in the fourth secret book was based on the "Spirit Crane Heart Sutra", and the "Spirit Crane Heart Sutra"... this thing was really incomprehensible.
He studied the four volumes of "Spiritual Crane Body" for more than a week. If you include the seven days he spent traveling through the modern era, it was almost half a month, but he didn't figure out anything.
Parade ground.
"Master Xu." Zheng Fa handed four volumes of "Spiritual Crane Body" to Master Xu.
"What are you doing?" Coach Xu took the secret book in a daze.
"Coach, please help me return it to the lady."
"You... gave up?"
Coach Xu misunderstood.
He was indeed not ready to focus all his attention on "Spirit Crane Body" anymore. He had a lot to learn: Old Man Bai's mathematics, he was also facing the college entrance examination in modern high school, and in this world, he had to study with Mr. Shen and practice Songhe Posture.
Even though he had twice as much time as others, he still felt overwhelmed.
But the main reason for returning "Spiritual Crane Body" to his wife was that during the past ten days of study, he had memorized all four volumes of "Spiritual Crane Body" in his mind.
"Spiritual Crane Body" is a top-secret martial art in the Zhao Mansion. If he keeps these books in his hands all the time, it could be dangerous.
Before he could say anything, Coach Xu waved his hand and said, "It's a good thing to give up, so as not to waste time... It's a good thing."
After saying that, Coach Xu ignored Zheng Fa and walked back with "Spiritual Crane Body". His back looked a little lost.
His nephew looked at him in the training ground and asked worriedly, "Uncle?"
"Tell me," Instructor Xu touched the three characters "Spiritual Crane Sutra" on the cover of the book and asked with a bit of self-blame, "Did I scare Zheng Fa by telling him about my experience?"
His nephew also knew the effort his uncle had put into the Spirit Crane Scripture, and he just said hesitantly: "Maybe Zheng Fa just doesn't have perseverance..."
"No, he is smarter than me and knows how to make choices. As for me, I still don't give up..." Coach Xu sighed, "It's time to give up."
…
When the Seventh Young Master heard Zheng Fa say that he had returned the "Spiritual Crane Body" to the mansion, he just nodded and said, "Young Master, a genius like me can't figure it out. You can't do it, that's normal!"
He turned around and pointed at Gao Yuan: "Look at him, there's nothing to see yet!"
Glancing at Gao Yuan's innocent and helpless face, Zheng Fa felt that the Seventh Young Master was a bit sudden - he didn't laugh this time!
…
Modern time, at the old white man’s home.
"Give."
Zheng Fa took out a cup of milk tea from his backpack and handed it to Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu took it, put in a straw and took a big sip.
There was already a hint of tacit understanding between the two people's actions.
"I'm still here!" snorted the old white man beside him.
Tang Lingwu blinked and looked at Zheng Fa: "You are his master, why don't you take care of him?"
"How about...bring him a cup as well next time?" Zheng Fa hesitated for a moment and decided to be fair.
"...Is this what I did?" The old man looked at the charming Tang Lingwu, then at Zheng Fa, and he became more and more disgusted: "Who said he was my master? He taught me that crappy Kung Fu, and I've been practicing for so long, why haven't I learned anything?"
It can be seen that his three-minute enthusiasm for learning martial arts has faded a little, and he even has some intention of betraying his master and ancestors.
Zheng Fa refused to take the blame: "It's because your qualifications are a bit poor. I estimate that it will take about half a year for you to get started."
"Getting started? How long did it take you to get started?" the old white man asked curiously.
"For me, ten days?" Zheng Fa specially added the time of the two worlds and said considerately so as not to discourage the old man too much.
"It sounds like my qualifications are very poor." The old man nodded, not looking discouraged at all.
"Grandpa Bai, don't you feel discouraged?"
"Why should I be depressed?" The old man smiled and waved his hand and said, "At my age, why should I argue about whether my aptitude is good or bad, or how fast I practice? I should be open-minded when I should be open-minded!"
Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu nodded, both feeling a little admiration in their hearts.
This old man is really open-minded and thinks things through.
"Besides, Zheng Fa is as stupid as a monkey when it comes to math. He's not discouraged at his age, so why should I be discouraged?"
"Master, I will let you experience the power of Songhe Posture today!"
"Oh, I won't hide anything from you today! I have a unique skill that I have practiced for sixty years. Once I use it, I will make you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"What unique skill?" Zheng Fa was curious.
The old man lay down on a chair, holding his chest with his hands, his face grim, and began to wail: "Someone, someone is beating me! I can't move!"
Zheng Fa: ...I want to kneel.
…
"I can't even say if I can live for another half a year. It takes half a year to get started. That's too long!"
This old man really backed down.
This won’t do!
It doesn’t matter whether he practices or not, but this free top tutor Zheng Fa cannot be lost!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When I was learning mathematics with Old Man Bai, Zheng Fa really couldn't understand topology at the beginning, so Old Man Bai simply started from high school mathematics for him.
Although the old white man is not a very civilized person, you will benefit a lot if you ignore the insults to your IQ during his teaching and distinguish the teachings from top professors from a bunch of personal attacks.
It may not be so effective for others, but the foundation of Zheng Fa is actually very solid. Sometimes all that is missing is one or two sentences.
We can’t let Old Man Bai’s heart, which longs for the world of martial arts, settle down!
"Do you know that the 'Songhe Zhuang' you learned can prolong your life?"
Zheng Fa's tone suddenly became a little deeper.
"Extend life?" The old man's face moved slightly, and he was obviously tempted. At his age, it was difficult for him to resist this temptation.
"That's not all." Zheng Fa's face was full of solemnity: "This 'Pine Crane Posture' is only the entry-level skill of my master's unique skill 'Spiritual Crane Body', and 'Spiritual Crane Body' is a unique skill that can be used to enter the Tao through martial arts!"
"To enter Taoism through martial arts?"
It can be seen that Old Man Bai was a little shocked by Zheng Fa's seriousness, but he was mostly unconvinced.
"According to the records in my sect's classics, this 'Spirit Crane Body' was a unique skill that an ancestor mastered after he spent his entire life traveling across thousands of mountains, learning from nature, and imitating all the birds in the world. After you have mastered the 'Pine Crane Posture', if you can master the 'Spirit Crane Heart Sutra', you will be able to enter the Dao through martial arts and greatly increase your lifespan!"
Thanks to that boastful senior, Zheng Fa found it easy to fool the old man.
"Traveling through thousands of mountains, gaining insights that only birds in the world can understand? Does it sound so mysterious?"
The white old man murmured.
“Not only that, I heard that after this ancestor mastered the Spirit Crane Heart Sutra, he ascended to heaven and attained enlightenment!”
Zheng Fa was not exaggerating. The ancestors who created the "Spirit Crane Heart Sutra" all entered the immortal gate. Rounding it off, isn't this the Tao? "Is this the way to enter the Tao through martial arts?" Although the old man didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still had some admiration: "This ancestor is a master with great perseverance and determination!"
"Want to learn?" Zheng Fa tempted.
"I want to!" The two words "extend life" were enough to shake the old man.
"If you can master the Songhe Posture, I will accept you as my disciple and teach you the Spirit Crane Body!"
"Master! I am loyal to my sect. I will study hard and practice diligently to revive our sect in the future!"
At the side, Tang Lingwu's face slowly showed doubt: "I have a question..."
"Um?"
"Your master is indeed very powerful. But is it difficult to comprehend this? If we want to see birds or something, why don't we go to the zoo?"
"well?"
Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai looked at each other and felt that the high-handed image of their senior master just now collapsed in an instant.
Tang Lingwu held the cup of milk tea and said weakly, "Did I say something wrong? Then... the flower and bird market?"
