Feng Zhou continued to stare into Gong Baosen's eyes and said: "Since the great powers opened the country with guns and warships and oppressed and ravaged us, our people have tended to look down on themselves. But in this country, there will always be a group of outstanding sons and daughters to pursue.
On the road to a strong country, once we break this chaotic world and establish a unified country, we will catch up and pursue technological and civilizational transcendence. For this future, we need a strong body, a tenacious will, and scientific thinking."
"I have used foreign methods to strengthen my body since I was a child. I came to learn Baguazhang from my teacher, just to advocate what Mr. Ziren once said: 'Civilize your spirit, barbarize your body'!"
"Otherwise, there is no way to strengthen China!"
Feng Zhou said firmly.
"good!"
Gong Baosen stood up, his face flushed, and his expression was excited. He looked at Feng Zhou as if he saw hope.
"Gong has lived his whole life and has never been dissatisfied with others when it comes to martial arts. He also thinks he is somewhat capable when it comes to knowledge and ideas. I never thought that I would hear such profound thoughts from an eighteen-year-old child."
Gong Baosen sat down again and looked at Feng Zhou with admiration in his eyes.
"Especially your sentence, 'Civilization is its spirit, barbarism its body', is not only inspiring, but also points the way for our generation of warriors to act in the age of guns! The fact that you can say these words is enough to show your character and ambition.
He is not an ordinary person in terms of knowledge and knowledge, and he is qualified to be my master. If I had stuck to the rules of the past, I would have fallen behind."
"From now on, you will be my close disciple, Gong Baosen. I will teach you all your skills. I only hope that you can carry forward the Xingyi and Bagua sects."
"Don't worry, Master! Thirty years from now, Xingyiquan and Baguazhang will definitely be popular all over the world!"
Feng Zhou expressed his stance to Gong Baosen and also changed his name to Lao Gong.
Because Gong Baosen personally promised just now that he would become his close disciple and he would teach him everything he could. This already referred to the relationship between master and disciple, not the relationship between teacher and student just now.
"Fu Xing, take him to rest and train him according to the old method tomorrow."
Gong Baosen sat down again and said to Yuan Fuxing.
Yuan Fuxing nodded in agreement and left with Feng Zhou.
Gong Baosen sat there, silent for a long time.
"Dad." Gong Er came back to his senses and saw his father deep in thought. He called out softly and smiled softly: "Dad, you have a new disciple. Are you so happy that you can't speak?
"
"Ruomei."
Gong Baosen slowly said: "What do you think of this new disciple that dad has accepted?"
"I think... I think this man has a good character and is a good young man. But just based on what he said, my father accepted him as a closed disciple. Isn't it a little hasty?" Gong Er's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pressed the button.
Stay calm and speak against your will.
Gong Baosen raised his head and glanced at his daughter, and saw that her face was slightly red, her eyebrows were a little confused, and she was not at all as calm as before.
As someone who has experienced this, he can see his daughter's thoughts at a glance.
"After all, she's decent, knowledgeable, and has a good foundation. It's normal for her daughter's family to have a good impression..."
These thoughts flashed through Gong Baosen's mind, but his eyes looked towards the door curtain, as if he could see the whole world through the door curtain.
"That year the Chinese Warriors Association was established..."
Gong Baosen said calmly: "...a man came from the south. Without saying much, he held a piece of cake in his hand. He asked your uncle Li Cunyi to break it. Your uncle didn't say anything, and he even asked him to become the first member of the samurai guild.
As a president, what he relies on is not martial arts, but one sentence: Boxing has north and south, but the country has north and south?"
"So, why do martial artists of our generation come to practice martial arts? Is it really just to keep fit? It is now the 18th year of the Republic of China, and the Northeast also changed its banner last year. It seems that the whole country has been unified, but has the country risen? Isn't it still the same?
The warlords are fighting, the people are losing their homes, and the railway operations in the Northeast are either done by the Japanese or the Russians. If we want the country to be strong and the people to be strong, there is still a long way to go!"
"This little guy from the United States has a good foundation and a lot of knowledge. In the future, he will devote himself to the movement of strengthening the country and breeding. He can be regarded as my modest strength in Xingyi and Bagua."
"Dad, where is senior brother?" Gong Er asked confusedly.
If Feng Zhou participates in the movement to strengthen the country and breed, what about the senior brother?
Doesn’t dad regard the senior brother as his successor?
Gong Twenty was very confused.
"Your senior brother will take over my class in the future, and at most he will be struggling in the martial arts world. It's difficult to expect him to have a bigger platform!"
Gong Baosen said slowly, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
When Gong Er saw this, he stopped asking questions and slowly left.
…
Jiang Fuxing took Feng Zhou to the room, glanced at Feng Zhou's face, and saw that his face was always full of indifference, as if the words he just said that shocked the master were not from his mouth.
Lao Jiang doesn't understand any big principles, but following Gong Baosen in his life, he has met countless famous people, but he has never seen his master so shocked by other people's words. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up the inspection.
Just accept him as a closed disciple.
What kind of appreciation is this, what kind of talent is this?
"It's not just the master. The second young lady is studying in the school. She is the most sensible and knowledgeable person. She was moved when she heard what he said. Her eyes changed when she looked at him. I'm afraid he is really a hero."
"I hope he is a hidden dragon, and the hope of the master and the miss will not be disappointed."
Jiang Fuxing thought in his mind, and looked at Feng Zhou with even more solemn eyes.
…
Feng Zhou followed Yuan Fuxing to a room. After the latter left, he lay down and prepared to take a good rest.
After all, you have entered a new world, surrounded by ice and snow, so you have to adapt well no matter what.
He was lying on the bed, feeling neither happy nor sad.
For Gong Baosen and Gong Er, words such as "Practice martial arts for the rise of China" and "Civilize your spirit, barbarize your body" are so earth-shattering, but for Feng Zhou, it is just a point of Feng Zhou.
Feelings are just spoken casually.
There are a lot of research materials on the Republic of China era in later generations. Feng Zhou studied some of them and knew to some extent the inspiring words of those two great figures, and he also fully agreed with them.
His thinking is on the lower reaches of history. He looks at history from a high-level perspective and understands the direction of history. He respects every executor of the national salvation route, but he knows which route will lead to the end.
And what he said was just the opinions of those two people when they were young. Feng Zhou quoted it because it suited his own state of mind.
When he came to this world, of course he learned Baguazhang, an internal martial art, to strengthen his body, nourish his lungs, and sublimate his body from the outside to the inside.
On this basis, if there is anything that can be done to save the country and the people, then just do it.
"Of course, if I can see the grace of those two people in this world, it will not be in vain." Feng Zhou thought in his heart.
