The master and apprentice practiced boxing on the mountain . Their movements were the same . They were not very fast and could be clearly seen . There seemed to be no novelty .
Wang Yao’s movements seemed more natural . Zhong Liuchuan seemed slightly stiff in some maneuvers like the pause when a car shifts gears . It didn’t have a smooth and flowy appearance, but it didn’t last long and was gone in a flash .
After practicing two rounds of boxing, Wang Yao stopped and stood aside to watch Zhong Liuchuan practice . After finishing one practice, Wang Yao pointed out several shortcomings . Zhong Liuchuan continued practicing one set of boxing moves 10 times .
“Alright, let’s stop here today,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said
They went down the mountain together . At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, several truckloads of trees that had just been planted had grown green leaves, which was against the law of nature .
“Sir, this mountain is amazing,” Zhong Liuchuan said with a laugh . “It’s autumn, but the trees are sprouting and the bugs are singing . ”
“Mmm, it’s probably because the spiritual energy is stronger,” Wang Yao said .
In fact, the trees were green all year round on Nanshan Hill . That could be seen in some places in the south, but it was unusual in northern areas like Lianshan County .
At the foot of the hill, the two men parted ways . Zhong Liuchuan went home, and Wang Yao opened his clinic .
At noon, Sun Yunsheng came to the mountain village from Dao . He was there to learn skills from Wang Yao .
“Master,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“Don’t call me that . I feel uncomfortable hearing it,” Wang Yao said with a laugh .
“Shall I follow Senior and call you Sir?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Yes, sure,” Wang Yao said .
As he was speaking, a patient came into the clinic .
“Give me a moment,” Wang Yao said .
“Yes, Sir, no problem . ” After speaking, Sun Yunsheng sat quietly and watched Wang Yao treat the patient .
The patient’s illness was relatively easy to treat . He had sprained his waist at work . After several massages from Wang Yao, the man felt less pain .
“Have a good rest after you get back, and try not to go down to the fields to work for a few days,” Wang Yao said .
“There are many peanuts in the field,” the man said .
Everyone who farmed knew that the peanut harvest time was quite tiring . They had to bend down and get up again . Ordinary people could not stand it .
“You can ask others to help with that,” Wang Yao said . “Your body is more important . ”
“OK, I got it,” the middle-aged man said .
Although that was what he said, when he got back, he would still have to go to the fields . In this season, he could only earn money from farming through those plots of peanuts .
When the patient left, Wang Yao called Zhong Liuchuan . “I’d like you to help teach Sun Yunsheng . Teach him the Method of Self Renewing in my place first . ”
“Yes, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan replied . He soon arrived at the clinic . “OK, come with me . ”
Zhong Liuchuan invited Sun Yunsheng to his home . He taught him the Method of Self Renewing that Wang Yao had taught him .
Although Sun Yunsheng had a traditional kung fu background, he was often busy with the business world . He was more systematic than Zhong Liuchuan but not as skilled . His heart was difficult to calm down . This Method of Self Renewing required one to be calm before it could be mastered .
“Calm your heart and breathing . ” Zhong Liuchuan instructed .
With the deepening of his practice, Zhong Liuchuan’s skill of cultivating Qi was advancing . He practiced every day and recited Taoist sutras, so his practice was improving almost every day .
“Senior, let me think about it first . ” Sun Yunsheng, who was always unable to reach the threshold, simply stopped practicing .
Sun Yunsheng took several deep breaths . He went to one side of the room and closed his eyes .
The door opened . Wang Yao walked in from outside . He asked, “How is it?”
“I’m always unable to find the way,” Sun Yunsheng replied .
“There’s no rush,” Wang Yao said . “Take your time . ”
He gave Sun Yunsheng some guidance . He looked at his anxious appearance and patted him on the shoulder .
“You must have a peaceful mindset,” Wang Yao said . “It’s practice, not a competition . You can’t rush it . ”
“Yes . ” Sun Yunsheng nodded .
After practicing the entire afternoon, he still couldn’t master it .
“Are you staying here tonight?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, I planned to stay here,” Sun Yunsheng replied .
“Let’s have dinner together tonight,” Wang Yao said . “Ask Hao to join us . ”
“Yes, Sir,” Sun Yunsheng said .
After leaving Zhong Liuchuan’s home, Sun Yunsheng went to his residence . Hao and two other men accompanying him had already reorganized the room .
“How did your learning go, Young Master?” Hao asked .
“Not good . ” Sun Yunsheng shook his head . “Sir taught me the Method of Self Renewing . No matter what, I couldn’t get it . What do you think is wrong?”
“The Method of Self Renewing?” Hao asked .
“Yes, I’m sorry, it can’t be handed over to you,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“I know . You don’t have to be so polite, Young Master,” Hao said .
“The Method of Self Renewing is the same as the inner Qi and mind methods in martial arts fiction,” Sun Yunsheng said . “They are the secret of the sects and not easily shared to the outside . ”
“What did Sir say?” Hao asked .
“He didn’t say much, just that practice can’t be rushed to success, but my Senior said that my heart is not calm enough,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“That is likely the reason,” Hao said . “You have come in contact with too many things lately, and you’ve been traveling for two days . It’s inevitable to be tired . Get some rest, and maybe the results will be better tomorrow . ”
“Well, hopefully,” Sun Yunsheng said . “Sir invited us to dinner . Can you join us?”
The group met at the small restaurant in the village .
“Hey, these dishes are better than those big restaurants,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“You are used to eating plenty of meat and seafood,” Wang Yao said . “You’ll naturally feel that these are unique when eating them . How many days are you going to stay here?”
“One week,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“Alright, communicate more with your senior this week,” Wang Yao said . “Liuchuan, pay more attention to him too . ”
“Yes, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Teaching people is also practicing,” Wang Yao said . “When I explain things to you, I also gain insights on practice, which is equivalent to reviewing what I have learned in the past and learning something new from it . ”
While they were eating, his cellphone rang .
“Hello, Big Brother,” Wang Yao said .
On the other end of the phone was Su Zhixing . “Is it convenient to speak?”
“Yes, you can speak,” Wang Yao said .
“Can you come out and come to our army?” Su Zhixing asked .
“Is someone hurt?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, it’s another team,” Su Zhixing said . “They went to the border and fought . They sacrificed several soldiers . Two are seriously injured . ”
“I’ll arrange to come tomorrow,” Wang Yao said after a moment’s silence .
“OK, thank you,” Su Zhixing said .
After he hung up the phone, Wang Yao went back to the dining room .
“Yunsheng, I’m sorry . I have to go to southern Yunnan tomorrow,” he said .
Wang Yao felt bad that Sun Yunsheng had come to learn from him, but he had to leave for something urgent .
“Sir, you do what you have to,” Sun Yunsheng quickly replied . “I can ask Senior any questions . ”
“Alright, Liuchuan, I’ll have to trouble you,” Wang Yao said .
“Don’t worry, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan replied .
“Alright, I’m afraid I won’t be back in a couple of weeks,” Wang Yao said . “I’ll have to trouble you with the village and the mountain matters!”
“Yes,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
After eating and drinking, the four men slowly and leisurely walked back . Wang Yao looked up at the sky from time to time . Traveling to the south would be quite troublesome .
“Sir, do you have to go out for treatment?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“Yes, it was a call from Su Xiaoxue’s brother,” Wang Yao said . He did not need to hide the matter from these people . “I have to help logically and emotionally speaking . ”
“In the army?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“Yes, you should go,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“When you get back, don’t think about practicing,” Wang Yao said . “Sleep well . Get up early tomorrow and come to the mountains with Liuchuan . ”
“Yes, I got it, Sir,” Sun Yunsheng said .
They went back to their respective places . Wang Yao went up the mountain alone .
Back in the room, Sun Yunsheng turned to Hao and said, “It seems that in all likelihood, Sir will go to the princess of the Su family . ”
Hao did not immediately speak . He bowed his head, thinking about something .
“What are you thinking about?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Young Master, let me say something, but please don’t take it to heart,” Hao said .
“Say it,” Sun Yunsheng said . “You’re one of our own!”
