What does that mean? Are they exchanging goods?
"You mean Senior Brother Mengjie wants to learn kung fu from my master?"
The pedantic scholar chuckled: "It was I who wanted him to learn from your master."
We old folks all have our own methods.
Your master is skilled in martial arts, especially grappling techniques; he's an absolute master.
The Grand Aunt and the Grand Historian are swords, and I am a spear.
I was thinking, if your generation were to learn everything from each family, you'd be something else entirely.
They are Confucianists after all, without sectarian prejudices, and possess noble sentiments.
“If that’s the case, I’ll accept it. By the way! I’d like to introduce someone to my martial uncle. His name is Yuan Bao. You met him at dinner last night.”
You just wait for him here; he will come to you.
"OK!"
I told Yuan Bao about opening a hospital and asked him to help me buy a storefront so I could start the hospital.
As for the size, it depends on how many capable people the scholar has.
Moreover, I transferred 100 million yuan to Yuan Bao, so that he could prepare equipment, medicine, and daily necessities for them.
Anyway, if I give it to him like this, he definitely won't accept it, so I'll just let Yuan Bao spend it for them.
I estimate that it will take at least six months to see any benefits, so let's just keep them going for now.
Given Peng Jun's attitude towards them, I can't be petty.
I also took pictures of the entire manual for the Yao spear technique and gave the original to Xu Yiting so she could give it to Aunt Jun when she had time.
After arranging everything in the morning, Mengjie and I followed Peng Jun to the airport to meet with Shi Tongguang from the Buddhist family, and together we flew to the Gaman Islands.
Mengjie was nervous from the moment he boarded the plane, and he was still holding my hand when the plane took off.
"Senior brother! You've never been on an airplane before?"
Meng Jie felt embarrassed: "Let alone sit, I rarely even look at anything. This is my first time coming out of the mountains. Before, I lived in the mountains with my master and taught children in the mountain area."
But all I do is teach them poems and songs.
This is something I don't understand: "You all know poetry and songs, why don't you come out?"
Nowadays, there are many people in society who are obsessed with this family and that saint. Isn't it better to earn more money outside than in the mountains?
"My master was afraid that we wouldn't find true freedom and would be blinded by the materialistic society."
He wouldn't have come out if he hadn't been certain that I was mentally mature and had a certain foundation in traditional Chinese culture.
"When I have apprentices, I must do the same; this is a Confucian tradition."
Putting a person in a simple environment, shaping their character, and teaching them skills, is something we don't mind if it's tough or tiring.
I think this is what a true mentor is!
"Junior brother! How did you meet Senior Uncle Peng? Did you learn your skills from him since you were a child?"
Meng Jie is so naive and adorable; he thinks everyone is like him.
"No, I'm a self-taught person. I only learned my skills from my master for a few months."
"Oh? You're quite impressive. In just a few months, your senior master wants you to be his successor."
How am I supposed to explain this?
"Perhaps my mentor felt that none of us understood high technology, so I filled in the gap."
"oh oh!"
"So you were just lucky?" Shi Tongguang, who had been silent all along, poked his head out next to Meng Jie.
"You could say that."
Shi Tongguang smiled and sat back down, probably thinking to himself that I had no real skills.
Meng Jie overheard the two foreigners talking and leaned close to me, whispering, "Junior Brother Zheng! Can you understand what they're saying?"
"Are you curious about what they said?"
"I can't understand it. I keep thinking, how am I going to communicate with people over there?"
Um... I guess Meng Jie has always studied traditional Chinese culture and has never been exposed to foreign languages.
"Give me your phone, and I'll install a translation app for you."
"Huh? I don't have a cell phone."
this……
"Then I'll translate it for you!"
"Thank you, junior brother! If it's not important, then forget it; it's too much trouble."
This Meng Jie really knows how to think of others.
"Knowing a few foreign languages is a minor skill; mastering martial arts is the true path."
Shi Tongguang's words were tinged with disdain, as if nothing I knew was worthy of his attention.
We didn't talk much after that. I took out my laptop and started studying the Yaoqiang manual I had photographed.
Upon arrival in the Gaman Islands, the castle was waiting for us at the airport.
He let us leave the airport without going through security.
Because both Meng Jie and Shi Tongguang were carrying weapons.
The castle arranged for us to stay at a hotel, and then came to find me:
"What weapon did Mr. Zheng use?"
I guess they saw I didn't bring it and wanted to arrange something for me.
"What weapons do you currently possess?"
"There are some, Mr. Zheng, why don't you come with me to choose some?"
"OK?"
The castle has countless rooms here, but the room they brought me to now is full of weapons.
Both hot and cold options are available.
I didn't even look at the firearms section, even though there were some strange guns in it.
I chose a spear made of pure steel. This thing can be used with the Yao spear technique. More importantly, this spear is very powerful when pushed out with a force field in the water.
"Does Mr. Zheng also know how to use a gun?"
Investigating me?
"No! But I think it works well underwater."
Castle nodded: "Mr. Zheng is very thoughtful. Actually, those firearms also have waterproof capabilities, Mr. Zheng, why don't you choose one?"
Why do I get the feeling that he really wants me to use firearms?
"No need, this is enough."
I took the spear and left the room, returning to my own quarters, where I began scanning.
Damn it!
The spear is hollow, and there is something inside.
A type of powder.
It's fine if it doesn't get wet, but if it gets into seawater, the powder inside will react with the seawater.
