Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh Li Gongfu who was pitted miserably
In the new legend of White Snake, Li Gongfu is definitely a good guy.
If he were not a good person, how could he have raised Xu Xian for many years in vain after marrying Xu Jiaorong, not only allowing him to grow up smoothly, but also providing for Xu Xian to go to school.
You must know that in the feudal era, the cost of studying was quite high.
Some small landowner families have to spend all their energy to support a scholar who is completely out of work. The whole family lives a miserable life, which is no better than those of tenant farmers. Why is the cost of studying so high?
In the new legend of White Snake, Li Gongfu kindly supports Xu Xian to study, and the family relationship is still maintained well. It is not an exaggeration to call him a good man.
Of course, Li Gongfu does have the capital to be a good person.
The Li family is a family of police officers, and he himself is also the head of the county government. There is absolutely no shortage of ways to make money. They have houses, property, and money. They are also the top middle-class family in the entire Qiantang County.
At present, Li Gongfu is still a middle-aged boy living freely under the wings of his father. He only wants to improve his martial arts skills so that he can become famous among the public servants in the future.
Anyway, idle time is idle, and it doesn't take much effort to teach young Li Gongfu martial arts. Only then did Lei Hu become interested in chatting a lot of nonsense with this boy.
I just didn't expect that Li Gongfu was very ambitious when he was young. He actually wanted to practice martial arts well and become a famous catcher in the future.
It's not that Lei Hu can't accomplish it. He knows a huge amount of martial arts secrets in his mind. Just picking out one of them is enough to make Li Gongfu famous. At least he won't be as useless as in the TV series.
Not to mention, with his current state, he can easily create fake elixir-level supernatural martial arts, which in Li Gongfu's eyes is definitely a peerless magical skill.
In the blink of an eye, young Li Gongfu has been learning martial arts at Qin Feng Martial Arts School for a month.
"Master, when are you going to teach me your powerful martial arts skills?"
Just after finishing the horse riding, the young man Li Gongfu took advantage of a little free time to come up to Lei Hu and asked in a drake voice with a smile: "I can't wait any longer!"
"Wait until your boy masters the martial arts passed down from his family to the point where he can enter the palace!"
Reaching out to push young Li Gongfu's head away, Lei Hu said amusedly: "Didn't you kid say that the Li family's ancestral martial arts are obtained from Gongmen's secret book, and they are also very powerful?"
There is a saying that ‘It is easier to practice when you are in public’, and this is absolutely true.
As a world where magical powers can be manifested, the Song Empire controlled millions of miles of territory, and the resources it controlled were naturally astonishing.
Not to mention the Confucian method of using literature to enter Taoism, although the other hundreds of schools were suppressed, they could also transform academics and ideas into magical powers, among which the military fighting skills were semi-public resources within the Gongsect.
As long as you are in the Gongmen, reach a certain level, or make certain achievements, you can be taught various means and martial arts that the Gongmen has in hand to improve your own strength.
The Li family in Qiantang County is a family of police officers, and although they are at the bottom of the public hierarchy, according to what young Li Gongfu proudly said during a casual chat, his ancestors were taught military swordsmanship due to their great achievements, and this was passed down as a family heirloom.
As a family of police officers, they have accumulated some ordinary boxing and kicking skills over several generations, and they also have a mediocre grappling skill, which can be regarded as the foundation of the Li family.
According to the young man Li Gongfu, as long as you practice the ancestral sword skills to an extremely proficient level, it is not difficult to gain a foothold in the county government or even get a good position. People who are really capable can actually easily get ahead. Of course, the premise is not to be too pretentious.
, don’t be too unsociable by temperament.
To put it bluntly, the water in small Qiantang County is too shallow, so a strong swordsman is enough.
The young man Li Gongfu didn't hide his secrets. He directly practiced the sword skills passed down from his family. It is obvious that the most important method in the army is to be fast, accurate and ruthless. There are not many changes in the routine. It is indeed very suitable for catching fast people as a means of keeping the bottom of the pack.
Judging from the performance of this guy in the TV series, it is obvious that the martial arts inherited from his family have not been practiced well, otherwise he would not be the butt of jokes.
It's just that he can't defeat those monsters. He's also helpless in dealing with some young people because he hasn't mastered martial arts yet.
Lei Hu was not in a hurry to teach him more advanced sword skills, but first let him continue to practice the basics of the horse stance, and at the same time guided him to practice the family sword skills, so that the boy's strength could be significantly improved first.
It's not that he is stingy, but advanced sword skills need to be combined with internal skills and mental skills. The young Li Gongfu only practiced external skills before, and getting started with internal skills cannot be achieved in a short time.
Of course, if Lei Hu is willing to directly teach the martial arts through the method of initiation, this kid can directly enter the threshold of internal martial arts cultivation. However, the relationship between the two is not good enough yet, so naturally they will not waste energy on such a thing.
Young people, except for those who are very young and mature and have a calm mind, will only be enthusiastic for three minutes no matter what they learn, unless they see and feel real progress.
Since Lei Hu has collected tuition, he will naturally not do that bastard thing of waiting to burn bridges. It is a very simple thing for young Li Gongfu to feel the benefits of learning martial arts from him in a short period of time.
No, just one month has passed. Under Lei Hu's casual guidance, young Li Gongfu has mastered the ancestral sword skills to an extremely good level, and is not far away from entering the palace.
Within a month, you can clearly feel the huge progress in the family swordsmanship. The young Li Gongfu is invincible and has more motivation to practice martial arts. Even his father Li Captou, who has been secretly observing in secret, is completely relieved.
No, under Long Wangshu, young Li Gongfu asked Lei Hu to practice more advanced sword skills, but naturally he failed.
He was not discouraged and said with a smile: "Master, I will soon be able to teach swordsmanship to several families and practice it to the point of entering the palace!"
"Then work hard!"
Lei Hu said angrily: "Don't be so arrogant, your boy's current strength is still far from enough!"
"hey-hey……"
The young man Li Gongfu was a little embarrassed. He turned his eyes and said curiously: "Master, with your ability, you probably don't have many rivals in Qiantang. Why don't you open your arms and recruit disciples!"
"Why, are you lonely practicing martial arts alone?"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "How many people can afford the tuition fee of fifty taels a year?"
It is true that Qiantang County is located in a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, but the wealth distribution of the feudal dynasty was much more exaggerated than that of later capital countries. The poorer the poorer, the more difficult it was to get over, and the richer the richer, the more resources they controlled.
Although the people in the county are living a pretty good life and have some money left in their hands, if they squeeze in a little bit, they can even barely support their children to go to school. But if they are asked to spend fifty taels a year as tuition, they can bear it.
That's amazing.
It's not just a tuition fee of fifty taels a year. The consumption of food and meat during martial arts training is astonishing. There are also medicinal materials to replenish vitality. The total amount is quite a lot.
The family's income is less than one hundred taels a year, and they really can't afford to study martial arts at Lei Hu's Qin Feng Martial Arts School.
"Yeah, it's so boring to practice martial arts alone all the time!"
The young man Li Gongfu nodded repeatedly. He didn't think too much. He just felt that Qin Feng Martial Arts School was too deserted and it would be boring for him to practice martial arts alone.
"Hey, you better practice martial arts for me honestly!"
Lei Hu waved his hand and said angrily: "I have no interest in recruiting disciples. Come if you want. I won't force you if you don't want. Just let everything happen!"
"Master, how can you just let it happen?"
The young man Li Gongfu had a different opinion. He shook his head and said: "The martial arts gym is too deserted. If disciples from other martial arts gyms come to kick the gym, will the master have to take action himself?"
"Isn't your boy here?"
Lei Hu was unmoved and said with a smile: "I'm optimistic about you!"
"Master, I don't want it!"
Young Li Gongfu's face fell, and he wailed: "My little arms and legs can't bear such a heavy burden!"
"Wasn't your kid very good before?"
Lei Hu said angrily: "The other martial arts schools in the city don't put you in the eyes, why are you so cowarded now? Isn't it embarrassing?"
Young Li Gongfu's face turned red, his eyes wandered and he said: "I was wrong before, but I didn't know that all the martial arts masters in those martial arts schools had their hands on them. There is nothing I can do about being blinded!"
In other words, with Lei Hu's casual guidance, young Li Gongfu's martial arts improved rapidly. At least he made a big step forward in practicing the sword skills taught at home.
At this time, his martial arts training caught up, and he naturally discovered the power of the other martial arts schools in the city. He felt very guilty, but he had no confidence to ignore them as before.
"Don't be discouraged, kid!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "As the master who teaches you martial arts, your boy's recent progress is pretty good. Now I will assign you a task. Every ten years, you will go to a martial arts gym in the city to compete. I hope your boy can be good at kicking.
In the process of training, I will fully exert the power of the family's sword skills!"
After speaking here, he paused, patted the dull young man Li Gongfu heavily on the shoulder, smiled and encouraged: "You must behave well, don't embarrass me!"
"No, master, this is too difficult, isn't it?"
The young man Li Gongfu was stunned, with an unlucky look on his face as if he had been struck by lightning, and said with a mournful face: "Aren't you afraid that I will be beaten so hard that I can't find my way?"
"I have confidence in you boy!"
Lei Hu said with a smile: "You kid, don't have any psychological baggage. Now your family swordsmanship is quite good. As long as you don't meet the direct disciples of those martial arts schools, it will be easy to deal with it!
"
"Really?"
The young man Li Gongfu, who felt that the word was cold, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. His second breath came to him, he opened his eyes wide and said excitedly: "Master, please don't deceive me!"
"What are you doing to your kid? Can you make me a living?"
Lei Hu slapped him over and scolded with a smile: "The sword technique you teach is a martial art in the military, but actual combat is the best way to practice and improve. You just happened to take the initiative to come to the gym and save me the trouble, isn't it?
