Chapter 485: The Era of the Decline of Martial Arts
The old man should be a martial arts master. Judging from his age, he also lived in the war era. That era was also the last era of martial arts masters. These people can kill devils and enemies without much scruples. Such an environment is enough to cultivate a group of martial arts masters.
, but these masters are basically of little use, because no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you will be dead with just one bullet.
After the founding of New China, the country did not have a good look on these people with "special skills". If you still want to show off your strength and fight ruthlessly, it will be a dead end. Even the martial arts masters of the Republic of China who lived in this era had to be honest.
.
Many warriors are people of strong temperament, and many choose to fight, but who can fight against the country? So most people choose to go overseas, the closer to Hong Kong Island, the further to the United States, Europe, etc.
land.
This old man should be one of them, but even in places like the United States, pure martial arts is declining, which also symbolizes that the masters of the older generation will also step down from the stage of history. Twenty or thirty years later, China
True martial arts has been completely cut off and will never come back.
"Hmm...it's interesting!"
The old man frowned slightly as if he had encountered something puzzling.
"Old man, do you think I am a material for martial arts training?"
Liu Lang smiled.
"Your qi and blood are quite strong! There seems to be a fire in your heart. This kind of qi and blood is simply not something that a child can possess, and even an adult cannot match it!"
"Full energy and blood!"
Liu Lang was slightly surprised. The other party was indeed right. He didn't understand what qi and blood were, but his daily food intake was astonishing, almost the same as an adult.
"Then can I learn martial arts?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Your qi and blood are strong and strong. If you were an ordinary person, if you didn't expel it, you would have suffered from a serious illness. But seeing that you look normal and are in good health... there is only one possibility. You were born with roots."
You have extraordinary bones and have even opened up the body's meridians. Such a person is rare in a hundred years. You are a martial arts wizard!"
The old man looked at Liu Lang with a different look now, as if he was covered in gold and jewelry.
Liu Lang was a little speechless at this time. He remembered a line from a movie: Boy, I see that your bones are amazing. You must be a martial arts prodigy. In the future, you will be responsible for maintaining justice and peace in the universe.
"Old man, we don't practice martial arts!"
Sun Hu reached out and blocked the old man's hand from Liu Lang's arm.
"If you don't practice martial arts? Wouldn't it be a waste of resources if you don't practice martial arts with such a talent? My little friend, as long as you practice martial arts with me, I guarantee that you will become a martial arts master like Li Shuwen, and you can carry forward the martial arts of our country!"
The old man stared at Liu Lang and said.
"I'm sorry, old man. I have no interest in practicing martial arts. Besides, times have changed, and martial arts in the past has embarked on a path of decline. This is a historical trend that no one can stop!"
Liu Lang smiled slightly and said.
"this………!"
The old man's face changed slightly when he heard this, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Yes! Times have changed, martial arts is no longer popular, and us old guys are useless!"
As the old man spoke, he stretched out his hand and slapped a nearby gift tree.
"Bang!"
There was a deep palm print on the pine tree.
"hiss……!"
Sun Hu took a breath. If this palm were to hit someone, the bones would probably be broken. He was far from being able to do this skill. He had never even heard of it.
"My palm is called Iron Sand Palm. It is a unique skill that I have developed after more than twenty years of continuous practice. When I was young, I could break stones with one palm. If I lived a hundred years ago, it would be enough to make me
Becoming famous all over the world, but it is of no use in this era. Even if you meet the gangsters on the street, you have to
Dodge, because people have guns, no matter how powerful you are, there is nothing you can do in front of bullets. The national skill that was once famous all over the world has declined... Our Chinese nation only has so few things that can be used. If this continues
, what else will we leave to future generations?”
The old man sighed and looked lonely.
"Old sir, martial arts represents past history and past eras, but now is the age of science and technology. The development of the times has already produced new national skills. We cannot stop the progress of history, but we can master new technologies. As long as we
Isn’t it great that the country and its people can adapt to the trend of history and create a new batch of national skills?”
Liu Lang in his previous life was a nostalgic person. He liked old buildings and read ancient texts, because these things have connotations that are invisible on the surface, allowing people to feel China's thousands of years of culture.
However, these things are all being destroyed by the impact of rapidly developing science and technology. If people had not deliberately protected them, they would have also disappeared in the long river of history.
This is especially true for martial arts. The popular movie "Shaolin Temple" introduced Chinese martial arts to the world. Every teenager has a martial arts dream in his heart, but this is a dream after all. Ancient buildings can still be preserved through maintenance.
, but there will be no trace of real martial arts and warriors left at all, and the final development can only become "aerobics".
"Kid, you are a very visionary person! Are you from the mainland?"
The old man was not an ordinary person. After sighing, he adjusted his mood and became interested in this little kid Liu Lang.
"Yes! I'm going to go to college in the United States!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Going to college?"
The old man was startled. If he said that the man in front of him was going to college, he would believe it, but this kid said that he wanted to go to college. This was even more surprising than his bones.
"Little guy, you are really a strange person. It's just a pity. If a strange person like you lived in ancient times, he would have been a national scholar and might have been crowned a king or a marquis. What a pity, what a pity!"
The old man felt a little sorry.
"hehe!"
The old man's thoughts are still stuck in the old thinking. In his mind, all old things are good and new things are bad. He seems to be a "stubborn" element, but Liu Lang also sympathizes with him.
With the palm he just struck, he would have been a great hero in ancient times. He could even become a general and ride a galloping horse. But now, he can only hide overseas and comfort himself for the rest of his life. I don’t know how many people are like him in this great era.
Same as him.
"Liu Lang, let's go!"
At this time, Huo Tianting and others hurried over.
"Okay, old sir, it's very interesting to chat with you. If I still have time in the future, I will pay a special visit!"
Liu Lang was very interested in this old gentleman, and there must be a very exciting story about him.
"These are your bodyguards, right. Strange people like you are great people everywhere. I have also seen young heroes like you, but times have changed. In the end, they will all be buried in this ruined world.
What a sad time!
Children, I live in the "Meishan Tea House" in front of me. My surname is Shi. You can just call me Old Man Shi. You can come find me when you have nothing to do... I haven't been to China for many years. I don't know about my old friends.
Are you still here or not?"
After speaking, the old man turned around and left slowly.
