Chapter 69 : Buddhist Prajna
Elder Wang had protected the Tang family for more than twenty years without asking for anything in return. Now that the Tang family's business was on track, fewer and fewer people knew of Elder Wang's existence. His existence had become a deterrent more often. Tang Guobin once asked his father about Elder Wang's background, but in the end, he only got a very vague answer. Elder Wang owed the Tang family a promise, and now he was using his life to fulfill it.
Elder Wang was lonely and had never heard of him having any friends or children. He spent most of his time in this courtyard and occasionally went to the Tang family to walk around. Tang Guobin had wanted to acknowledge Old Wang as his teacher many times, but unfortunately, Old Wang did not give him a second chance after failing the test once according to the rules.
Tang Guobin, who loved martial arts since childhood, did not succeed in learning martial arts. He could only choose to learn karate and jujitsu.
Until three years ago, Elder Wang had made a request to the Tang family to bring ten young people with good aptitude to undergo the test every year. This old man had the idea of taking in disciples.
Over the past three years, dozens of young people have been tested, but none of them have passed the test, including Tang Guobin.
Tang Guobin held his clothes and his heart surged. His eyes were wet unconsciously.
Xu Qing saw him like this and secretly laughed. He reached out and patted Young Master Tang's shoulder." Isn't it just a broken book? Is there a need to be so excited?" Stop crying, be good…"
"Broken book?"
Tang Guobin and Elder Wang shouted in unison, shaking Xu Qing's eardrums. Immediately after, saliva flew down like raindrops.
"Broken books, get me a few books to take a look…"
"Unworthy disciple, how dare you say that my ancient book is a broken book? You deserve to be punished!"
Xu Qing's head was full of black lines. He silently endured the attack of saliva. He complained in his heart. Damn it, who did I provoke? All of them turned against me faster than flipping a book. It's hard to be a good person in this world!
" I was wrong. It's not a broken book. It's Buddha Palm, Sunflower Scripture, Nine Yang Scripture, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, Nine Yin White Bone Claw…Is that enough?"
Xu Qing admitted that he was wrong, but he was not convinced in his heart. He simply made up some nonsense and brought out a few secret manuals from his memory.
"Ha ha! You are ruthless!" Tang Guobin gave a thumbs up and couldn't help but laugh.
Elder Wang frowned slightly and said seriously," In martial arts, it is best not to aim too high. If you practice the 18 drops of clothing well, you will benefit immensely. The Buddha Palm Sunflower Manual and the like are all flashy heretics. Don't mention it again in the future!"
Xu Qing suppressed his laughter and said," Don't worry, I won't practice the Sunflower Manual. However, isn't it too boring just to practice the 18 drops? Why don't you take out another booklet from your cabinet? I'll go back and study myself!"
Elder Wang didn't expect that his disciple, whom he had taken in with great difficulty, would actually be a character who climbed up the ladder. He wanted to reprimand him, but on second thought, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said slowly," It's not difficult to get ancient books. If you can cultivate Qi Sense within seven days, you can read the ancient books in my cabinet as you wish."
"Qi sensation?" Xu Qing wrinkled his nose. This was the first time he had heard of this term.
Tang Guobin saw Xu Qing's confused appearance and smiled and joked,"Do you understand internal energy?" Just like the Sunflower Manual you practiced, you can knock down a large area with a single palm push…"
" Wait a minute, you're just practicing the Sunflower Manual. You also have the Devilish Sword Manual!" Xu Qing's reaction wasn't slow. He glared back and retorted. He couldn't be polite to someone who took advantage of this opportunity.
" Hehe, actually, I'm not too sure about Qi sensation. However, I know that it's basically impossible to practice it in a week." Tang Guobin smiled strangely and winked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing rolled his eyes and turned to Old Wang." Master, what is considered to have a sense of anger?"
Old Wang didn't answer either. He stretched out his left palm and shouted at the Eight Immortals Cabinet Door,"Look!" He pulled his palm backward and with a creak, the tightly shut cabinet door opened as if it was pulled open by an invisible force. Inside were two sheathed knives and a few ancient books.
Before Xu Qing could read the words clearly on the ancient book, Elder Wang extended his arm and pushed his palm. The two cabinet doors closed with a snap. The force of the closure was so strong that the entire cabinet shook.
Elder Wang withdrew his palm and placed it behind his back. He looked at Xu Qing with a faint smile and said," Disciple, this is Qi. When you practice it to the point where you release your Qi, you can hurt people by striking your palm a hundred steps away. Seven days later, if you can shake the cabinet door with a palm strike from afar, everything inside will be yours."
Xu Qing had witnessed Elder Wang's miraculous Qigong. At this moment, he completely believed that this master was a true hermit expert. It seemed that these three kowtows had not been in vain.
"Releasing Inner Qi?" Xu Qing repeated thoughtfully, subconsciously reaching out his palm and gently pushing the cabinet door. Pa! The cabinet door actually vibrated slightly and made a soft, inaudible sound.
"Eh!" Elder Wang thought that it was his own illusion. He tilted his head and flashed Xu Qing a glance." Let's try a few more palm strikes."
Xu Qing pushed the cabinet door twice without hesitation. Pa! Two muffled sounds were clearly transmitted into everyone's ears. Elder Wang's eyes flashed as he looked at Xu Qing with a smile.
"Disciple, have you been practicing Internal Martial Arts for more than ten years?"
Old Wang opened his left palm, and the corner of his gray robe began to flutter. Xu Qing felt an invisible pressure engulfing him, and even his breathing became a little uneven. He even had the illusion that his smiling master had turned into a cold-faced killer. As long as he made a slight move, the other party would kill him without hesitation...
Xu Qing felt wronged. He thought to himself,'I'm having fun this time. Instead, I've made Old Man Wang suspect me. What f * cking bad luck!' However, the arrogance in Little Xu's bones made him do something unusual.
"I haven't practiced any internal martial arts at all, believe it or not," he said with a stiff neck.
Elder Wang's eyes turned cold and he said indifferently," Inner Qi can be released from the outside and shake things from afar. This old man only reached this state after he was twenty years old. Young friend, you are a genius. Why bother to get something like this from me that needs to be buried?"
This time, he didn't even address Xu Qing as his disciple anymore. Instead, he directly addressed him as his little friend. It seemed that Elder Wang had determined that Xu Qing was someone with ulterior motives.
Xu Qingcheng couldn't make sense of it. He could only look at Tang Guobin with pleading eyes.
"Grandpa Wang, Qingzi is only seventeen years old this year. Even if she started practicing internal energy from her mother's womb, she wouldn't be stronger than you, right? Besides, I was the one who mentioned this kid's apprenticeship. In the past, he didn't even know your name…"
Tang Guobin kept explaining. Unfortunately, Elder Wang was not moved at all. The coldness on his face became even stronger.
"Forget it, Brother Tang. I don't have the luck to pay my respects to this master. Let's go back." Xu Qing smiled bitterly and turned around to walk out the door.
Elder Wang moved his feet and stood in front of Xu Qing. He raised his left arm and pressed his palm against the door.
Xu Qing felt a warm current pour into her body. Her left foot froze and she couldn't land on it. She instinctively resisted in shock. With a thought, a faint golden gas rose from her eyes and rushed to the top of her head to meet the Qi that Elder Wang poured in.
Boo!
Elder Wang's palm was flicked open two inches. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He shouted," Kid, where did you learn the Buddhist Prajna Zen Force?"
