After finishing his emotion, Old Man Shi was about to press the car window and take a breath of fresh air, but found Lou Cheng staring at him with a complicated look in his eyes, so he said angrily: "You brat, what are you thinking about so stupidly?"
?”
Lou Cheng felt quite heavy at this time. At first, he thought that his master was old and had a chronic cough. After showing off his power, there would inevitably be some backlash, and he would not be able to bear it. It would be fine if he calmed down.
, after getting in the car and chatting with his senior sister for a while, he realized that his master's physical condition was very poor and the problem was quite serious.
In modern society, with the improvement of conditions in all aspects, it is common for ordinary people to live past seventy, but a powerful Waigang man in his early sixties can only live another seven or eight years!
Thinking of this, and recalling the figure walking with his hands behind his hands during the violent storm and snow, how could Lou Cheng not feel sore in the nose and feel heavy in the heart?
But the senior sister said that the master has the best face, and according to my daily observation, this is also the case, so I can't look at him with sympathy, and I can't say childish, crying words... His mind turned, and he squeezed out a smile and said:
"I was thinking about what just happened. I always knew that you were very powerful, Master, but I didn't expect that you could be so powerful. You are like a god. You made the snow fall in August without even waving your hand, and the sky turned white...
…”
Old Man Shi immediately beamed, heyed, and said humbly: "No, no, no, no, it's not like back then, when I didn't need to borrow, ahem, the power of the Ice Marrow Bead, old man, I can do it easily,"
Brat, I finally shocked you!
Shi Yuejian smiled and shook his head, drove the car into the villa area and parked it in his garage.
After opening the door and returning to the house, she put on her slippers and said with a smile: "Junior brother, you can do it yourself. I won't treat you as a guest. First, I will go and make a cup of rock sugar and snow pear water for your master."
After saying that, seeing Lou Cheng's slightly surprised look, she tilted her head and said, "What's wrong? Is there anything strange?"
"No, it's nothing, I just didn't expect a powerful Waigang man to cook in person." Lou Cheng explained with a smile.
"Personal hobbies, I just like to tinker with these things. If I didn't have the talent in martial arts, I would probably be a chef or pastry chef." Shi Yuejian chuckled and walked towards the open kitchen.
"Remember to cool down after stewing. How can you drink it without ice in this summer?" Mr. Shi shouted to his daughter's back.
Just as Lou Cheng was about to volunteer and use his frost powers to complete this task, he heard Shi Yuejian helplessly smile and say: "Yes, yes, I will use the ice soul power to help you freeze."
Well, he is worthy of being the Wai Gang of the Hing Department, so I won’t do anything about it... Lou Cheng wiped off the non-existent cold sweat, sat on the sofa opposite Old Man Shi, and asked with concern: "Master, what about the research on cultivation?"
No progress yet?"
If so, you might be able to draw parallels and lay a solid foundation for finding a way to treat your master in the future.
"There hasn't been much progress. If there had been, how could you guys have resisted calling me to show off?" Mr. Shi replied with a look of disdain, "That's right, I'm going to the military's secret base tomorrow, so I'll take a look.
Look at them and get some information for you. Haha, after all, I have made a contribution. I will have a regular check-up every year. I was supposed to go there two days ago, but I met you, a brat like you.
You won the youth competition championship and let your master uncle know about it."
Regular check-ups? Lou Cheng suddenly thought of his earliest conversation with his master. He said at that time, "Do the work that is studied by others."
Just as he was holding back his laughter, Old Man Shi shook his head, coughed twice and said:
"You have taken this road of integrating cultivation. Every step in the future will lack precedents and will be more difficult than normal. I can only make some suggestions based on experience and knowledge. It's okay before Waigang, but after Waigang, you have to do it.
Be mentally prepared.”
"I understand, Master." Lou Cheng took a breath.
This is the price you must pay if you are unwilling to give up your current greatest advantage.
Old Man Shi was serious for not more than a minute, and then he clicked his tongue and said: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Although your talent is outstanding, it is only compared to ordinary warriors. Unlike truly talented people, who have spent hundreds of years and thousands of years
The kind of comparisons that come out are not enough, such as 'Martial Saint' Qian Donglou, such as Zhihai of Daxing Temple, such as Peng Leyun of Shangqing Sect, such as your master and me..."
"If you practice normally, the speed of your improvement can be predicted. What height you can reach in the future will hardly exceed the estimated range. It is difficult to have unexpected surprises. How can you catch up with those in front of you? The road ahead is full of obstacles.
There are variables, but only with variables can there be hope.”
"Hey, if you follow the path of martial arts training honestly, maybe you can achieve great achievements. You are quite like the Dragon King."
He did not mention Shishan, the "reincarnated living Buddha" of Daxing Temple.
Shi Yue, who was in the kitchen, was dissatisfied and protested: "Dad, how does Junior Brother look like the Dragon King?"
She happened to be simmering rock sugar and snow pear soup, washed her hands, and walked back to the living room: "The Dragon King's pursuit of victory is so perverted, how does the little junior brother look like him?"
"Hey, his victory is not only abnormal, it is very abnormal." Old Shi did not refute.
As a fan of Dragon King, Lou Cheng immediately became interested:
"Senior sister, can you tell me more about the Dragon King?"
The reporter's interview and the TV broadcast were like a layer of gauze, making the image of the Dragon King appear blurry. As the main force of the Wu Yue Society, as the Waigang strongman in the upper echelons of the martial arts circle, and as the opponent who often dealt with the Dragon King,
The Dragon King in my senior sister's eyes may be more real.
Shi Yuejian keenly grasped the change in his attitude and laughed twice: "Are you still an admirer of the Dragon King? It just so happens that this weekend, our Wu Yue Club will go south to challenge the Dragon Tiger Club. Although I may not be able to fight with him, but
It’s okay to introduce him to you after the game, how about it? Do you want to go? Dragon King is quite kind and nice to his fans.”
Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but when he thought that he had already asked for leave for several days, he still resisted the temptation: "I have to go to work the day after tomorrow. I have taken other people's money, so I can't always ask for leave. Senior sister, I won't be polite.
, take me with you if you have the opportunity in the future, anyway, the Dragon King will not run away there!"
After receiving the 600,000 yuan bonus, the part-time salary became dispensable. However, the youth competition championship was a product of chance. I had never expected it before. Since I had promised Gushan Martial Arts, I could not turn my back on it.
People should do what they say they will do.
A man's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold!
"Okay, junior brother, you really have self-control. I suddenly feel that you do look a bit like the Dragon King." Shi Yuejian nodded with emotion, and finally said, "Then you have to go back to Xingxing Province tomorrow? Your brother-in-law is on a business trip abroad, and he still
It will take several days to come back, so we can only meet again next time. This matter was done in a hurry, and I don’t know what the master uncle was thinking."
Lou Cheng chatted for a few words on this topic, then returned to the matter just now, savoring the implication of the senior sister's words:
"The Dragon King is very good to his fans, but what about other warriors?"
According to Dragon King's fans and in many gossip news, "Dragon King" Chen Qitao is a contradictory character with pride and low self-esteem, he is vain, harsh, domineering, and narrow-minded.
Shi Yuejian pondered for a moment and replied: "As I said just now, the Dragon King has an almost perverted desire to win. Such a warrior will be very good to his teammates and fellow disciples in some aspects, but in some aspects he will be quite harsh and unkind.
, and for enemies and opponents, that is to not accept any defeat. Once the situation in all aspects is not good, and it is rare to lose to the opponent, you can't expect him to have a good face or the demeanor of a strong man. "
"Especially when the Martial Saint wins at the same time, he will definitely have a dark face. He is very concerned about the evaluation of the outside world, especially the comparison with the Martial Saint."
"But I have to say that he is an admirable warrior. No matter how much I hate his Wai Gang, I will not deny this. In the eyes of those of us, there is a recognized fact that 'Martial Saint' Qian Dong
When Lou Qianqian came out, he was a genius who could surpass all the martial artists of his generation. Others were astonishing at being twenty-three or four hundred percent of the outer martial arts, but at the age of twenty-four, he had already surpassed the first rank and won his first title."
"There is a big gap between the Dragon King's talent and him. In order to catch up with the Martial Saint and not become a loser, the hardships and efforts he put in are beyond your imagination."
Old Man Shi clicked his tongue and said, "Old man, I have some experience with this. I fought side by side with the Dragon King, no, it was Chen Qitao at that time."
"Ah? Master, when did it happen?" Lou Cheng answered blankly.
As a huge fan of Dragon King, why didn’t I know?
Old Man Shi chuckled and said: "You should remember that one year, ahem, Chen Qitao almost disappeared. He didn't participate in many group competitions. He claimed to be recuperating from his injuries."
"I remember, the Dragon King had not yet received the title at that time." Lou Cheng vaguely guessed the whole story.
"The year before, he reached the final stage of several major title fights, but without exception he lost to Qian Donglou. The media who thought he was a pair of unrivaled twins were greatly disappointed. They published articles one after another saying that he was completely unqualified to compete with Wu.
"Sage and title." Shi Yuejian answered on behalf of his father, "This deeply stimulated the Dragon King. He sharpened his resolve and applied to go to the war-torn area. He spent ten months on the edge of life and death with his life as a bet. After returning, he suffered three defeats.
Qian Donglou won three titles in one year."
Old Man Shi sat back and said with a somewhat reminiscence tone: "Chen Qitao was already a first-class man back then, and the room for improvement was originally very limited, but, tsk, you didn't see how crazy and unyielding he was at that time. In the end, he turned out to be
There have been radical changes.”
Hearing the past events of the Dragon King, Lou Cheng was fascinated and a little excited.
This is what warriors should do!
"Haha, this kid Qian Donglou is my junior, but after he gets the title, he has to be called Martial Saint. He has a lot of genius problems. He doesn't work hard enough. He can even be said to be lazy. He can sit down but not stand up.
, I could lie down instead of sitting. At first, I relied on my desire for the title to keep working hard. After I became famous, I felt that I could win in any fight, so I became more and more relaxed. At this time, the Dragon King appeared,
The beating almost made him lose all his confidence, but he finally picked himself up and used his talent to the fullest." Mr. Shi said with great interest.
"It can be said that without the stimulation of the Dragon King, there would not be the Martial Saint who is only one step away now. And without the Martial Saint as the goal and the object to chase, the Dragon King would not be in the current state. The peerless two prides deserve it." Shi Yuejian.
sighed again.
Lou Cheng listened with great interest and his blood was surging.
Is this the real Dragon King, the real Martial Saint?
After lunch, Old Man Shi led him up to the second floor, pulled out two visualization pictures, and made a joke:
"These are the 'Liaoyuan Tu' and 'Zhu Rong Tu'. You can understand the essence and charm yourself and take them back. If you lose them, I won't take the blame for you as a teacher. I will find a way to make up for it myself and find a way to pay off the debt."
"Thank you, Master." Lou Cheng didn't pay attention to the old man's humor. He endured his excitement and took the visualization picture. He saw that one of the pictures was full of flames. Flames of various colors. Just seeing it made him feel like he was beside a sea of molten iron and fire.
, and the other picture depicts a god of fire with the body of a beast and a human face, with a red dragon on his feet. He contains violence and suppresses burning.
Seeing his appearance, old man Shi who was standing next to him put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door. Then he stopped there, coughed and said calmly:
"You brat, I'll send those videos you took to my teacher's email later."
"Ah?" Lou Cheng looked at the master with a confused expression.
