"Husband, look at that man, he looks like a dog."
Ten minutes later, downstairs of Chen Yang's building, a young couple on the street were pointing and talking at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang stood in the sun, his shirt torn and dried blood smeared on his face. His face was full of misery and he looked like a homeless man.
The handsome guy in the young couple was holding a cup of milk tea and also laughed at him with his girlfriend:
"He's probably an old bachelor, no one wants him..."
The words haven't been finished yet.
squeak!
A cool Ferrari stopped in front of Chen Yang.
The car window rolled down, and Ling Wei, wearing sunglasses, tilted her head.
The young couple was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether the beauty was the car or her.
…
"Have you figured it out?"
In the speeding car, Ling Wei was very considerate and gave Chen Yang a full five minutes to calm down before speaking for the first time.
"I've figured it out. I want to learn Chinese martial arts from you."
"What I can't get back by reasoning, I will get back with my fists one day." Chen Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke calmly, but in his calmness, there was an indescribable sense of power.
Ling Wei smiled, said nothing, and quickly drove the car into a high-end villa community.
In fact, this place is not only high-end, but also the best villa area in the entire Zhonghai. It is built on the hillside of Xishan in the suburbs of the city. The worst apartment in it costs tens of millions.
Leading Chen Yang to Building 17 and parking the car, Ling Wei casually threw the car keys away.
"I just bought this place, and a lot of things haven't been decorated yet, so you have to make do with it."
"So, do you want to start now, or wait?"
The flame of humiliation burned in Chen Yang's heart. He didn't want to wait even a second and spoke directly:
"Let's start now."
"good."
Ling Wei took out a set of training clothes and asked Chen Yang to change clothes while walking with her to the backyard.
On the way, she spoke to Chen Yang in a calm tone:
"The first step in learning Chinese martial arts is to cleanse the mind."
"As long as one lives in this world, foul qi will accumulate in the body. Whether you live a life of drunkenness and debauchery or a life of health and self-discipline, as long as you are near people, foul qi will invade the body."
"You may not feel anything at first, but over time, you will age unconsciously, and as turbid qi accumulates, you will fall into the abyss of decadence and depravity, from which there is no hope of recovery, let alone the practice of traditional Chinese martial arts."
"Cleansing away turbid qi is the first major step in practicing Chinese martial arts. If it's not removed, everything else is in vain. Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds are several times stronger and more intelligent than five-year-olds, yet when they practice Chinese martial arts, they often don't progress as fast as children. Why is that? It's because they have turbid qi in their bodies, and quite a lot of it. Their youth and strength can offset a large portion of it."
"A teenager of seventeen or eighteen already has a serious case of turbid qi in his body, and you, Chen Yang... you're already in your thirties. If you want to embark on this path, just the first level alone will require you to put in ten or even a hundred times more effort than others."
"So, are you ready?"
On the grass in the backyard, Ling Wei turned around and asked Chen Yang seriously.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Okay then, go over there and get into a horse stance."
Ling Wei pointed to a wooden stake standing in the middle of the grass.
"Cleansing out dirt sounds difficult, but it's actually very simple. It just involves sweating."
"Using countless sweat, constantly forcing out the toxins and foul air in the body."
Chen Yang probably understood what she meant. He walked to the wooden stake, spread his legs, lowered his shoulders and waist, and pressed his back tightly against the stake, forming a straight line.
The horse stance is very simple and does not require anyone to teach you.
But after Chen Yang had tied it up, he always felt that something was wrong. His brows were furrowed and his body kept moving.
Ling Wei stood in front of him with her hands behind her back, looking at him with scrutiny.
"Do you feel awkward?"
"Um?"
"Do you think this behavior is childish?"
Ling Wei's tone was still calm, but it already had a hint of severity:
"In today's perception, if you're a white-collar worker, you should be wearing a suit, crossing your legs, drinking coffee in the office. At the very least, you should be wearing designer hiking gear and traveling somewhere, maybe even taking out your iPhone to take a selfie."
"Your life can take ten thousand forms, but it can never be like squatting next to a wooden stake on a scorching afternoon. This is not something a thirty-year-old should do. It's something only a seven-year-old would do."
"That's what you're thinking about, isn't it?"
Although her words were a bit harsh, Chen Yang couldn't help but nodded: "Maybe I'm not used to it yet..."
"It's not that I'm not used to it, but you're just being careless!!"
Ling Wei's tone suddenly became higher, which scared Chen Yang.
"The turbid air is not only in the body, but also in the heart!"
"You must abandon your old values now. You don't need anyone to teach you how to live, and you don't need to care about what others think of you. Right now, in this yard, there's only you and me. No one will laugh at you. The only thing you need to do is forget everything and get into horse stance!"
Not only did she raise the volume of her voice, but it also sounded like bursts of strong energy, pouring directly into Chen Yang's ears, deafening and making Chen Yang instantly sober up.
For the first time, he began to follow Ling Wei's instructions seriously, which was to clear his mind of all distracting thoughts.
In this world, no one is watching him, and no one will judge him.
Today, at this moment, the only thing Chen Yang has to do is to get into a horse stance.
