Famous looked up at the starry sky. The starry sky was much clearer than it would be 100 years later. The Milky Way zigzagged through, and there was almost no light pollution or haze. It seemed to have seen such a clear starry sky before.
"100 years later..." Old Time Tea murmured to itself. "No, cats don't live that long. I can't live 100 years later."
Famous looked back and explained, "At that time, you were no longer a cat. You became an elfin because of people's faith, like a demigod, and then you were summoned from the long river of history. I was probably the same, but I lost my previous memory. According to Zhang Zian's speculation, the people who summoned us may be people from a more distant future or other extremely advanced civilizations. "
"Other extremely advanced civilizations?" Old Time Tea repeated, "Is it Germany or Britain? I heard that these two European countries have strong ships and powerful cannons. They repeatedly invaded and played tricks on other countries... Our country has declared war on Germany, Austria, and other superpowers. They must be behind this! "
"No, no, far from it!" Famous was embarrassed. "The advanced civilizations that Zhang Zian mentioned refer to civilizations outside of this planet. They have nothing to do with Germany or Austria!"
Old Time Tea said, "Oh." Although it was still not relieved, it temporarily let go of this doubt and turned to another matter. "Who is this Zhang Zian that you keep mentioning?"
"He is our owner. He runs a pet shop that sells cats and dogs. We all lived in his pet shop at that time," Famous said.
"Impossible!" Old Time Tea looked unhappy and shouted, "Do you think I am the fickle Lv Fengxian? I will not recognize anyone else as my owner! "
Famous saw that Old Time Tea was about to lose its temper and secretly complained in its heart. At this time, Old Time Tea's temper was not as good as it would be in the future. It quickly said, "No, it is not right to say that he is your owner. He is more like your student. Every morning, you would drink tea while watching him practice boxing. When he did something wrong, you would call him to stop and correct him. After you finish training and have breakfast, you'll lie on the electric blanket and drink tea while watching TV. Don't ask me what TV is, I can't explain it. In short, it's something very interesting. You don't have to leave your house to know the customs of the world. "
"My student?" Old Time Tea was stunned. "When Jiwen was learning martial arts, I watched from the side and understood a thing or two. However, my cultivation was shallow. Wouldn't it be misleading for me to be a teacher?"
"Old Time Tea, you're too modest. Besides, your ability doesn't come entirely from yourself. It's also supported by the Strength of Faith..." Famous rolled its eyes and thought of another piece of evidence. "Before I came to this era, you just corrected a mistake Zhang Zian made when he was practicing boxing. It seemed to be the 'Hidden Palm to Kill the Neck.' You said that the palm momentum of this style should be 'Crouching' and not 'Chopping'. The beauty of the Crouching Palm is to borrow the enemy's strength to fight back. The left hand receives the enemy's fist momentum and then presses down, changing the enemy's strength. When the enemy loses control of his center of gravity, the right hand cooperates with the Neck Killing Hand and other continuous techniques to achieve victory in one strike. "
Old Time Tea was shocked. It was even more shocked than when it heard that Famous came from the future. It asked, "Tell me quickly. How did you know about the secret of Wing Chun?"
Old Time Tea knew very well that what Famous just mentioned was indeed the mental cultivation method of the "Hidden Palm to Kill the Neck."
Chen Huashun accepted Ye Wen as his disciple. Every time Chen Huashun gave Ye Wen pointers on martial arts, very few people noticed that there was a young tawny Dragon-Li sitting on top of the wall. Even when Chen Huashun asked Ye Wen to practice on his own and went to teach other disciples, the Dragon-Li would follow and never leave his side.
Chen Huashun was not only a master of martial arts, but also a master of Xing Lin. In addition to teaching martial arts, he also opened a medical center to treat people. After a long time, the tea-colored Dragon-Li not only remembered all of Chen Huashun's martial arts moves, but also learned the medical skills and benevolence that Chen Huashun inherited from Liang Zan.
After careful observation, Old Time Tea felt strange at first. Why did Chen Huashun teach Ye Wen different from what he taught others? It wasn't quite right. It should be said that what each disciple learned was 90% the same as what others learned, and 10% was different.
After watching for a long time, Old Time Tea realized that in the old days, when teachers taught their disciples, they paid particular attention to "a cat teaches a tiger — hold back." They could teach other skills, except for the ability to climb up trees to escape. They were afraid that the teacher would starve to death. Therefore, they deliberately kept a few unique skills, even Ye Wen, a closed disciple, could not be exempted.
"Holding back" didn't mean that they had to keep it forever. To some extent, it was also a way to test the disciple's filial piety and character. They were afraid that the disciple would teach the wrong person. If they taught the unique skills to a person with a kind face but evil heart, they would also have to bear the responsibility, and they would be ashamed to face their ancestors in the afterlife.
A long journey tests a horse's stamina, and time reveals a person's heart. After finishing their apprenticeship, the disciples traveled the world on their own. Some people forgot their teachers after they became famous. Some people, no matter how famous they were, even if they were already nobles or ministers, would come back during festivals with dried fruits and snacks, and respectfully visit their teachers. The latter were often favored by their teachers. Although the teachers didn't say it, they actually remembered it in their hearts.
After persisting for a few years, the teachers would think that the latter had passed the test of filial piety and character. They would secretly teach the unique skills that they had secretly kept to the latter, and the latter would become the true inheritor.
Of course, some masters suddenly died of illness or accidents before passing on their unique skills, and this unique skill was lost from then on.
In addition to martial arts, many disciplines such as medicine, casting, mechanical craftsmanship, and architecture all had the tradition of "holding back". Generation after generation of "holding back", there would always be accidents. Many uncanny skills were constantly lost because of this tradition, which made people sigh.
The young Dragon-Li cat not only watched all of Chen Huashun's disciples practice martial arts, but when Chen Huashun was practicing his martial arts alone, he didn't care that there was a Dragon-Li cat peeking at him from the top of the wall.
Old Time Tea didn't want Ye Wen to go to Xiangjiang to study. In addition to the reasons mentioned earlier, it knew that Ye Wen's martial arts hadn't reached the advanced level yet. Chen Huashun died young, and Ye Wen had a lot of things he hadn't learned yet. In addition, he was young and aggressive, so he might be frustrated or even bullied if he went to Xiangjiang. It really wanted to tell Ye Wen what it saw, so that Ye Wen could learn the real Wing Chun unique skills and defend himself. However, it didn't have intelligence and couldn't speak human language.
In a sense, it wasn't the 16 disciples, including Ye Wen, who had learned Chen Huashun's Wing Chun skills, but the inconspicuous Dragon-Li on the wall!
