Chapter 209 Apprenticeship! Time magazine, The Times, have come to visit! [Part 2] Ask for a custom
In Cangzhou, there is a martial arts hall in the old city.
A letter from the martial arts hall: Cangzhou pokes the foot door.
Some martial arts videos of poking the foot door have been circulated on the Internet.
In the video, on the loess, there are wooden stakes standing upright.
Some boys and girls under ten years old kept kicking their toes to the bottom of the stakes.
With every kick, the stake wobbled.
The kick is huge and powerful.
The practice of poking feet is a combination of inside and outside.
It requires both physical and mental training.
Children who can get started are mostly from poor families.
In ancient times, the poor were rich in literature and martial arts, but here, it is not established.
There is a strong culture of martial arts in this place, and many parents are good at kung fu. When their children reach a certain age, they will also send them over.
After all, tuition is not expensive, and many parents can teach themselves.
Just for convenience.
There are also medicinal liquids such as Jiu Jiu, which are specially used to practice poking feet, all of which are soil recipes passed down by the ancestors.
The production cost is not high, and ordinary people can afford it.
There are sects like poking the foot door, and some other cities also have them.
For example, in Liuzhuang Village, Nanhe Province, the villagers there practiced martial arts since childhood, and they practiced Tongbei Boxing.
Another example is Chenjiagou, Nanhe Province, where Taijiquan is practiced.
There are many, many places like this.
At this moment, in the foot door, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes was talking to a middle-aged man.
"Let's go there tomorrow and visit this Master Lu."
The middle-aged woman said with emotion: "His foot poking has been practiced at home, and I don't know who he learned from."
The man smiled and said, "Maybe it's all a family."
The woman shook her head: "It shouldn't be. He knows a lot of kung fu, and poking is just one of them. And his poking skills are better and more complete."
They are also very good at poking their feet. They have been practicing from childhood to adulthood for decades.
But compared with Lu Yuan, it is still far behind.
And when it comes to fighting, their moves are more fixed, not as flexible as Lu Yuan.
To put it bluntly, in actual combat, the effect is not very good, and they need a certain space and time to prepare for them.
...
beautiful country.
New York, Time Magazine, in the editor's office.
A young man is talking to a middle-aged man.
"Eric, this Master Lu, he is a strange person, you must know something."
"Of course, there's news about him everywhere, and it's hard to turn on the phone and not see news about him."
The middle-aged man gave a wry smile, and immediately said: "Perhaps, we should go to Daxia."
The young man's eyes lit up: "That's why I came to find you."
"Eric, I've checked the flight. There's a flight in three hours. If you agree, I'll go to the airport now."
"You... have your things packed?"
"Nothing in particular needs to be prepared."
The young man called Clarkson: "We were too slow to react, he was famous a long time ago, but we didn't notice it at that time, no, I did notice... not to say that, I'm over now. Otherwise. If we are preempted by other media, we will lose the timeliness of the first report."
Hearing this sentence, Eric nodded: "Do more interviews and take more photos. If possible, buy me a joint training suit. It is best to ask Master Lu to sign his name on the training suit. .I can already imagine my friends' reactions to this signature dress."
"no problem!"
Clarkson agreed very readily.

Almost all the top media weekly are paying attention to this warrior from Daxia.
Similar talks are being staged in major media weekly magazines.
...
The next day, seven in the morning.
Lu Yuan didn't go up the mountain today, but stayed in the village to practice inch boxing.
At ten in the morning, Yang Zhengtao arrived.
He specially rented a car and drove over by himself.
It's not a show, it's just too much cash.
He couldn't keep the cash in his hand all the time, there had to be a place to put it.
This is his first visit to Nanshan.
He had decided before that, after earning one million, he would come to apprentice.
Now, with enough money, people are coming.
Liu Yuanji went to the mountain to practice martial arts, and Lu Yuan was alone here.
As soon as Yang Zhengtao came, he saw it, nodded slightly to him, and continued to practice.
Yang Zhengtao didn't bother to disturb him, but stood by from a distance, waiting for Lu Yuan to finish his boxing practice before walking up.
"Master Lu."
Netizens were amazed when they saw him coming.
"Why is Senior Brother Yang here?"
"Let's thank you. After all, Master Lu saved his life."
"When will Senior Brother Yang arrest the wanted criminal again?"
"Let Senior Brother Yang have a good rest."
Yang Zhengtao didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his intention: "Master Lu, I want to be a teacher."
Then he added: "I made some money during this time, enough for my parents to retire and enough for my own living expenses. I have no worries."
"Come on, Senior Brother Yang came to apprentice?"
"Senior Brother Yang is already so powerful, isn't it necessary?"
"It's even more powerful after apprenticeship!"
Many people feel that Yang Zhengtao is already so powerful that it seems that there is no need to continue apprenticeship.
But Yang Zhengtao has Yang Zhengtao's persistence and ideas.
He went to catch the wanted criminals because he wanted to hone his strength and also want to make money.
But he mainly wanted to be stronger.
Follow Lu Yuan's live broadcast to practice martial arts, although he is very powerful now, but his achievements are limited after all.
He also thought about going to fight underground black boxing in the future, but it would be unreasonable for him to go now.
If he can learn from a teacher, he plans to practice for a few years before going to boxing.
Of course, the premise is that Lu Yuan can accept him.
After he said these words, his heart was also very disturbed.
Will Master Lu accept me?
Lu Yuan looked at him: "Practicing martial arts with me is very hard."
Yang Zhengtao immediately said, "I'm not afraid of suffering!"
Lu Yuan smiled a little, he wouldn't take it seriously when someone said this.
Time to prove it.
But Yang Zhengtao said so, and he believed it.
Afraid of enduring hardships, it is impossible for him to practice to this point alone.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to speak, another vehicle suddenly approached.
A million-dollar luxury car in Yishui seems to be unusual at first glance.
When the car stopped, I saw a group of young men and women about the same age as Yang Zhengtao, who got out of the car and walked over.
"Master Lu!" They greeted politely.
Lu Yuan glanced at it and asked, "Is something wrong?"
The young people said: "Master Lu, I want to worship you as my teacher."
Others have said the same.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised.
In the past few months, there have been three people who have come to apprentice, including Yang Zhengtao.
That Ye Fei said firmly at that time.
As a result, people disappeared within a few days.
This group of people, Lu Yuan didn't take it seriously.
He said lightly: "Practicing martial arts is not playing games. If you don't have great perseverance, let's go back."
The young man said proudly, "Master Lu, I have great perseverance!"
The others also expressed their determination that they could persevere.
Lu Yuan said: "If you want to practice martial arts, just follow the live broadcast when you have time."
"Master Lu, can I go up the mountain with you to practice martial arts every day?"
If they just practice martial arts with the live broadcast, they will not come.
Come here, just to worship the teacher.
"Can."
Lu Yuan did not refuse.
Mountain is not his family, if you want to practice, just come.
The young man who just spoke smiled and said, "Then I will go up the mountain with Master Lu to practice martial arts every day, and I will show Master Lu my perseverance!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone else was stunned.
Immediately understood.
Yes, when Liu Yuanji apprenticed, he was not directly admitted by Master Lu when he came.
That also took a while.
And during that time, Liu Yuanji was really tired every day.
But they feel that Liu Yuanji can persevere, can't he persevere?
At least they felt that they could do what Liu Yuanji did.
Isn't it just climbing a mountain?
What kind of?
Although they were born rich and noble, they have not yet reached the point of being inactive.
"What's the situation today? There are so many apprentices?"
"Look at the car they are riding, it's not cheap, they're all second-generation rich."
"What's the matter, the senior brother seems to be a rich second generation."
"Come on, I'm out of balance."
"If there is any imbalance, they are all from the same division. If you have no money in the future, you can borrow money from them."
"Grass, what you said makes sense."
"Otherwise, I will go to apprenticeship and become a senior apprentice brother. In the future, I will buy a car and a house. Can I be a senior apprentice brother?"
Lu Yuan looked at Yang Zhengtao and said, "Come with me."
Yang Zhengtao was also a little confused by the sudden appearance of a group of young people who were apprentices, and wondered why they were all chosen on this day.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words at this time, he didn't think much, and immediately followed.
Back in the yard, Lu Yuan stood in front of the weapon rack. It was the first time netizens saw the weapon rack.
"I'm going, so many weapons?"
"Master Lu will all these weapons?"
Lu Yuan pulled out the big knife, picked up a bundle of ropes, and walked out of the yard. Yang Zhengtao quickly followed.
As soon as they went out, a group of young rich second generation standing at the door also followed closely.
They were somewhat unhappy in their hearts.
Everyone came here to apprentice, why should they take special care of Yang Zhengtao?
Talk to him again, and take him up the mountain again.
Treat yourself so indifferently?
Although I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, I didn't say much.
Before coming here, they were actually ready to accept Lu Yuan's test.
But seeing the same people who came to apprentice, they can get special care. This difference makes them feel unfair.
Naturally dissatisfied.
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Yuan suddenly threw the big knife and the rope to Yang Zhengtao: "Take it."
"Yes."
Losing the broadsword, Lu Yuan expanded his speed, and there was a gust of wind following his feet, blinking his eyes to be more than ten meters away.
Although Yang Zhengtao is not as fast as Lu Yuan, he is not slow either.
This big knife weighs 108 jins. He is not struggling to hold it, but he is also a little burdened.
Soon, he could no longer see Lu Yuan's figure.
But he still maintained a very fast speed.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of young rich second-generation looked at the two people who disappeared in the mountain in a blink of an eye, feeling a little overwhelmed...
"Should we go up?" one of them said.
They don't know each other.
A young woman smiled and said, "I came here to apprentice, of course I have to go up!"
After he finished speaking, he started walking towards the mountain.
She specially changed a pair of hiking shoes, trousers, sun protection clothes, and a hat. She was well prepared.
The others were not as prepared as she was, but at the moment they saw a girl who took the initiative to go up the mountain, so they didn't bother and immediately followed.
Although there is no road to go up the mountain, Lu Yuan and the others have been going up the mountain every day for several months, and they just walked out of a way with one pair of feet.
They went up the mountain along this path.
Lu Yuan had already arrived at the entrance of the waterfall, and a group of armed policemen, Liu Yuanji and others were doing hard work.
Glancing at Lu Yuan, he immediately calmed down.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Yang Zhengtao came up.
Lu Yuan nodded secretly inwardly, it was really good.
More than 400 meters, 30 minutes up the mountain.
In terms of physical fitness, he is not as good as Liu Yuanji, but that is because he did not take the Body Tempering Pill.
"Old Yang, you are here!"
Liu Yuanji was a little surprised. Not only did he come, but he was also brought up by his master.
What does this mean?
It shows that Master should have the idea of accepting him as a disciple.
"Hey, why are you still holding Master's knife?"
Lu Yuan didn't look at him, but said to Yang Zhengtao, "Go pick up firewood. The firewood is too long, so just chop it with a knife."
Yang Zhengtao was stunned for a few seconds.
Master Lu asked me to pick up firewood?
Yes, it is picking, not cutting.
This knife... is for chopping over long wood.
So, why chopping wood?
Yang Zhengtao thought to himself, is this a test for me?
However, this is too simple, right?
Liu Yuanji's eyes also lit up, this test is much simpler than I was at the beginning.
Lu Yuan saw the reaction of the two in his eyes and thought to himself, they are really two fools.
At first glance, there is no firewood picked up.
Picking up firewood is not so easy.
Picking up firewood means bending over.
And they still have to bend over every once in a while. People who haven't picked up firewood will have backaches that can't stand it after a while.
What's more, he was carrying a 100-pound knife on his back.
These two things will feel simple...
Lu Yuan shook his head, too lazy to say anything.
After explaining it, he glanced at the time and said, "Let's go back and ask Xiaoji to bring you something to eat. Let's go pick up firewood."
"Yes."
Yang Zhengtao didn't ask much. Anyway, Master Lu will do whatever he arranges.
Some arrangements, it means that they are acting as teachers.
Look at Liu Yuanji, wasn't that the case back then?
Looking at Ye Fei again, he also said that he wanted to apprentice, but did Master Lu pay attention to him?
And those who came with him, Master Lu didn't assign them any tasks.
Yang Zhengtao was full of energy at this time and left with a knife in hand.
Lu Yuan and his party went down the mountain.
A few minutes later, Lu Yuan saw a group of people.
It is those young people who are apprentices.
The young people were stunned when they saw Lu Yuan and Lao Hei go straight down the mountain.
"Master Lu, where is he... going?"
"Yeah, it's eleven o'clock, and Master Lu is going back for dinner."
"Then shall we go?"
These people are a little confused.
It has been climbing for forty minutes, and it should be not far from the entrance of the waterfall. It is estimated that it will be there in half an hour.
But now, Master Lu has come down the mountain.
They suddenly wanted to cry.
I feel that my forty minutes of hard work has been in vain.
After struggling for a long time, he said to himself as if to comfort himself: "When it's time for dinner, I'd better go down the mountain to eat first, just in time to pack my things."
"That's right, go down the mountain and pack up first."
"Anyway, it's all here, and it's not in a hurry."
They found a reason for themselves and went down the mountain one after another.
It was the young girl who went up the mountain first, just glanced at the figures of Lu Yuan and Lao Hei, and continued to walk up the mountain.
The others didn't say anything when they saw it, and went down the mountain.
The girl walked for another ten minutes and saw Liu Yuanji.
Liu Yuanji also glanced at her, stopped specially, and frowned: "Girl, there are beasts in the mountains, so it's not suitable for outings."
I don't usually see anyone coming to the mountains to play, why did it suddenly appear today?
He felt that he still needed to remind two words.
The girl smiled back: "I'm here to apprentice."
"Worship a teacher?" Liu Yuanji asked, "Worship my master?"
"right."
"Maybe I have to call you Big Brother in the future."
"Haha, it is indeed possible."
Liu Yuanji said with a smile: "But my master has already come down, and it's time for lunch. It's useless for you to go up now."
The girl asked, "I remember that Master Lu took Senior Brother Yang up the mountain. Is Senior Brother Yang also going down the mountain now?"
He knew Yang Zhengtao and recognized it at first glance.
Liu Yuanji shook his head: "Old Yang was arranged by Master to pick up firewood."
"Oh, then I'll go too."
"you……"
"Master Lu didn't make any arrangements for me, so I'll pick up firewood with Senior Brother Yang, and I have to find something to do."
"As you like."
Liu Yuanji couldn't say anything, but the girl's stubbornness was quite surprising.
