The next day, Xu Cheng went for a morning run early in the morning. The timing was perfect, and when he got to the park, the silver-haired old man was already waiting for him, practicing Tai Chi.
Xu Cheng was also tired from running, so he went over to drink some tea. After taking a sip, he said unhappily, "Grandpa, you are not being nice, where's the tea?"
The old man snorted. "You really wasted Da Hong Pao, so I might as well get you some water. You are a glutton anyway, so it doesn't matter what you drink. You have an empty stomach, so it's not suitable for tea."
After drinking two cups of water, Xu Cheng squatted down to rest and looked at the old man. After a while, he asked curiously, "Is this Tai Chi really useful?"
The old man replied, "It depends on your mentality. If you are restless and can't calm down, it's useless even if you practice it. Tai Chi can be considered a type of exercise to cultivate your mind."
After a set, the old man put away his hands, looked at Xu Cheng, and said, "How is it? Do you want to see the fist technique I practiced yesterday again? "
Xu Cheng: "No need."
The old man was a bit surprised. "Are you sure? You should know that each of my thirty moves can be used for offense or defense. They are derived from a series of hundreds of changes. You have memorized twelve moves. As long as one move is missing, the entire fist technique will be incomplete and flaws will appear. Everyone's strength will be greatly reduced. "
Xu Cheng said, "I know, but I also know that I don't get paid for nothing. You are teaching me for no reason, why do I feel like you are setting me up?"
"Setting you up my a * s!" The old man directly scolded, "What do I have to set you up for? Do you have money and power? What do you have that I can set you up for? "
Xu Cheng said, "I'm younger than you."
The old man paused for a second, and then his eyes turned murky as he nodded. "Yeah, it's good to be young."
Xu Cheng felt that his words seemed to have hurt the old man, so he thought for a bit and added, "Actually, you look quite young too. If you don't mind, what's your surname? I'll call you Big Brother."
"You little brat." The old man couldn't help but laugh, and then he also came over and sat beside Xu Cheng. He patted Xu Cheng's back with one hand, and the strength of the pat almost made Xu Cheng spit out the water he just drank.
"How is it? Can you feel my inner strength?" The old man sighed. "I am indeed old, so old that no one can learn my skills. I see that your bones are amazing …"
Xu Cheng interrupted him. "Just directly ask me if I want to learn."
The old man: "Do you want to?"
Xu Cheng didn't even think about it and directly said, "Yes!"
The old man laughed in anger. "You little bastard."
Xu Cheng curiously asked, "Grandpa, I have a question to ask you first."
The old man nodded. "Go ahead."
Xu Cheng: "I know that with your relationship with the chief, there must be a bunch of people you can choose from. But why did you choose me?"
The old man glared at him. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you the one begging me to teach you or am I the one begging you to learn? "
Xu Cheng rubbed his chin. "Grandpa, if I were you, and someone is so picky, I would definitely leave immediately and not choose this person. But you didn't even turn around and leave, which means your choice is none other than me. Do you think my analysis is correct?"
The old man bitterly smiled, and then he rubbed Xu Cheng's head and said, "Kid, if you are too smart, you will become bald at an early age. You are so smart, no wonder you can find such a beautiful wife. "
Xu Cheng: "That's where you are wrong. She found me. My wife has a big heart, and she's smarter than me. You see, she is so beautiful, and her background and status are all better than mine. But why did she fall for me and marry me so early? Because she is a person with good taste. She could see that I am very smart and will definitely make a name for herself in the future, so she preemptively invested in me, a high-quality stock. "
The old man blew on his beard and said, "If it wasn't for you, I would have already beaten you to death."
Xu Cheng: "I know, I was just testing your patience and bottom line to see how much leverage I have in your heart."
The old man: "Okay, you win."
Xu Cheng: "But Grandpa, can I ask another question? Why did it have to be me? "
This was what Xu Cheng wanted to know, because he was afraid that someone would find out about the secret of his body. This was his biggest trump card! Why did this old man have to pick him out of all people? There couldn't be some kind of scientific experiment, right? Xu Cheng was afraid that the country or the world's scientific research team would find him and capture him to dissect, so he had to be careful.
The old man thought about it and said, "You want to know?"
Xu Cheng nodded. "If you don't tell me, I would rather not learn, even if it can make me stronger."
The old man smiled. "I like your temper and principles very much. Alright, I'll tell you then. That's right, there are too many people who want to learn my skills, but no matter how much they try, it's very difficult to learn. In fact, it's very difficult to use my skills to the fullest. Do you know? Out of the 10 masters I tested, the one who did the most was only able to see through 6 of my moves! And he saw through 6 of my moves when I performed 5 punches at my limit. As for you, you're the only one who managed to see through all twelve moves in a situation where you weren't paying attention or preparing for it. "
Xu Cheng then asked, "But we just met by chance, and we don't have much of a relationship. You have the ability to teach me, and you are just afraid that your skills will be lost. Or rather, is there anything you need me to do? I think there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and you might get it or lose it. "
The old man laughed and said, "I know what you are worried about. You are a smart and rational person, and you know the good and bad sides of this world. I don't need to waste my energy talking to someone like you. Okay, since you are on guard, then let's put aside our respective goals and make a deal, shall we?"
Xu Cheng let out a sigh of relief. "This time, we opened the script in the right way."
The old man suddenly said, word by word, "I represent the Dragon Team!"
Xu Cheng's pupils immediately widened, and then he immediately turned around and looked at the old man. "What did you say? Dragon Team? Which Dragon Team? "
The old man: "Which other department in Huaxia dares to call themselves the Dragon Team?"
Xu Cheng shook his head and came back to his senses. "Wait, the Dragon Team usually goes through a selection process before entering the reserve team. This is the correct procedure. Grandpa, are you an imposter?"
The old man laughed and said, "In this year's competition, why did only the top 10 get a contract to become an elite soldier and only you don't? Have you ever thought about it?"
Xu Cheng's face changed. "I remember now. I was wondering why I didn't get one. I thought the slots were already full. Does that mean I can enter the Dragon Team?"
The old man: "Sure, but I have my own test. 30 moves. If you can't see through them, then you are not a member of the Dragon Team."
Xu Cheng directly stood up. "Come on, let me try again."
