The master and apprentice practiced boxing on the mountain. They did the same movements, but they were not fast. Every move was very clear. There seemed to be nothing new about it.
Wang Yao's movements looked more natural. Some of Zhong Liuchuan's moves felt a little stiff. It was like the feeling of frustration when changing gears in a car. It was not as smooth and smooth. However, it only lasted for a short period of time.
"Continue."
After practicing two rounds of boxing, Wang Yao stopped and stood to the side to watch Zhong Liuchuan practice. After Zhong Liuchuan finished practicing, Wang Yao pointed out a few shortcomings. Then, Zhong Liuchuan continued to practice a set of boxing ten times.
"Well, let's call it a day."
"Thank you, Sir."
"Let's go down the mountain together."
The two of them went down the mountain together. At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, the trees they had just planted grew green leaves in violation of the laws of nature.
"Sir, this mountain is very magical!" Zhong Liuchuan said with a smile. "It's already autumn. The trees are sprouting new buds, and the insects are constantly chirping."
"Well, is it because the spirit is richer?"
In fact, on Nanshan Hill, the trees were evergreen all year round. This situation could be seen in some places in the south, but in a typical northern city like Lianshan County, it was very unusual.
"Let's go."
The two of them went down the mountain. Zhong Liuchuan went home. Wang Yao's clinic opened.
At noon that day, Sun Yunsheng came to the mountain village from Dao. After the apprenticeship in Dao last time, he had come specifically to learn.
"Master."
"You don't have to call me that," Wang Yao said with a smile. "I don't feel very comfortable."
"Then, I'll call you Sir like my brother," Sun Yunsheng said.
"Okay," Wang Yao said.
While they were talking, a patient came in to see Wang Yao.
"Wait a moment."
"Sure, please." Sun Yunsheng sat quietly and watched Wang Yao treat the patient.
The patient's illness was relatively easy to treat. He had sprained his waist while working in the field. After Wang Yao massaged him a few times, he felt less pain in his waist.
"Go back and have a good rest," Wang Yao said. "Try not to work in the field for a few days."
"Hey, there are still a lot of peanuts in the field."
All farmers knew that harvesting peanuts was quite tiring. Most people wouldn't be able to stand it if they had to lower their heads, bend down, and stand up again.
"You can ask others for help. Your health is more important." Wang Yao had met the people in the lower village several times and had some impression of them. Therefore, he persuaded him.
"Yes, I know," the middle-aged man said.
Although he said that, when he returned, he still had to work in the fields. In this year, how could he make money from farming? It was just a few acres of peanuts.
After the patient left, Wang Yao called Zhong Liuchuan over.
"Sir."
"Senior apprentice-brother."
"Bring me to teach him the breathing technique first."
"Alright, come with me."
Zhong Liuchuan invited Sun Yunsheng to his home and taught him the breathing and expiration method that Wang Yao had taught him not long ago.
Although Sun Yunsheng had also learned Kung Fu and was a very traditional Kung Fu disciple, he often ran around the business field. He was more systematic than Zhong Liuchuan, but he was not as skilled as Zhong Liuchuan. Moreover, it was difficult for him to calm down. At the beginning of the method, he needed to calm down to master it quickly.
"Calm down," Zhong Liuchuan said.
During this time, as his practice became more and more profound, his Kung Fu of keeping Qi was getting better and better. He practiced every day and recited Taoist scriptures. His practice was improving almost every day.
"Senior apprentice-brother, let me think about it first." Sun Yunsheng, who was always unable to reach the threshold, simply stopped practicing.
"Alright."
He took a few deep breaths, then went to the side and closed his eyes to think.
The door creaked open. Wang Yao came in from outside.
"Sir."
"Sir."
"How is it?"
Wang Yao asked. "I'm always trying to get the hang of it," Sun Yunsheng said.
"Don't worry, take your time," Wang Yao said.
He then guided Sun Yunsheng. Seeing that he was a little anxious, he gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Haste makes waste," Wang Yao said. "Your mind must be calm. This is practicing, not charging. You can't rush it."
"Okay." Sun Yunsheng nodded.
In the afternoon, he couldn't find the method.
"Will you stay here tonight?" Wang Yao asked.
"Yes, I plan to stay here," Sun Yunsheng said.
"Then think about it carefully. Don't worry," Wang Yao said. "Let's have dinner together tonight. Ask Hao to join us."
"Yes, Sir."
After leaving Zhong Liuchuan's home, Sun Yunsheng went to his residence. Hao and two other accompanying people had already cleaned up the room.
"Sir, how did you learn?"
"Not good." Sun Yunsheng shook his head. "Brother Hao, Sir taught me a set of breathing techniques in the afternoon, but I didn't get the hang of it. What do you think is going on?"
"Breathing techniques?"
"Yes, sorry, I can't give you this."
"I know, Sir, you don't have to be so polite," Hao said. These breathing techniques were equivalent to the internal strength cultivation methods in martial arts novels. They were the secret books of the sect and were not easily taught to outsiders.
"What did Sir say?"
Wang Yao asked. "He didn't say anything, just that practice can't be rushed," Sun Yunsheng said. "Senior said that my heart is not calm enough."
"It should be in this regard," Wang Yao said. "You have been in contact with too many things during this period, and you have been running back and forth for the past two days. It is inevitable that your mind will be tired. Rest for a day. Maybe the effect will be better tomorrow."
"Well, I hope so," Wang Yao said. "Sir invited you to dinner tonight. Would you like to come?"
"Okay."
The place to eat was the small restaurant in the village.
"Hey, the dishes here are better than those in the big restaurants," Sun Yunsheng said.
They were all delicacies, so they were naturally healthy.
"You are used to eating big fish and big meat," Wang Yao said with a smile. "You will feel different when you eat these."
"How many days are you going to stay here?"
Sun Yunsheng asked. "A week."
"Well, communicate more with your senior this week," Wang Yao said. "Liuchuan, you should also take care of him."
"Yes, Sir."
"Teaching people is also a form of practice." Wang Yao said, "When I'm explaining to you, I'll have more insights about cultivation in my mind. It's equivalent to reviewing what I've learned in the past and learning new things by reviewing the old."
While he was eating, his phone rang.
"Hello, Brother." It was Su Zhixing on the other end of the phone.
"Is it convenient to talk?"
Wang Yao asked. "Yes, go ahead."
"Can you come out and join our army?" Su Zhixing asked.
"Is someone injured?"
Wang Yao asked. "Yes, it is another team," Su Zhixing said. "They went to the border again and fought with that force. Several soldiers were sacrificed. Two were seriously injured and are being treated."
Wang Yao was silent for a while. "I'll arrange it. I'll go over tomorrow."
"OK, thank you."
He hung up the phone and returned to his room.
"Yunsheng, I'm sorry. I have to go to southern Yunnan tomorrow." Sun Yunsheng had made a special trip to be apprenticed to Wang Yao, but he had to go out because of an urgent matter.
"If you have something to do, don't hesitate to do it," Sun Yunsheng hurriedly said. "I can ask my brother if I have any questions."
"Well, Liuchuan will have to trouble you."
"Don't worry, Sir," Sun Yunsheng said.
"Well, I'm afraid I won't be back for 10 days or half a month," Sun Yunsheng said. "I'll have to trouble you with the things in the village and on the mountain."
"Yes."
After eating and drinking, the four of them slowly walked back. Wang Yao looked up at the sky from time to time.
This trip to the south was going to be a bit troublesome.
"Sir, are you going to a house call?"
Sun Yunsheng asked. "Yes, my brother called," Wang Yao said. "I should go and help."
"In the army?"
Sun Yunsheng asked. "Yes." Wang Yao nodded.
"You should go," Sun Yunsheng said.
"Don't think about practice after you go back," Wang Yao said before leaving. "Have a good sleep. Get up early tomorrow and come to the mountain with Liuchuan."
"Oh, I see, Sir," Sun Yunsheng said.
They went back to their respective places. Wang Yao went up the mountain alone.
After returning to the room, Sun Yunsheng said to Hao, "Sir, it seems that you are going to see the princess of the Su family."
The man, who was usually very quiet, did not immediately speak. He bowed his head and thought about something.
"What are you thinking about?"
Sun Yunsheng asked. "Sir, I'll say something," Hao said. "Don't treat me like an outsider."
"Say it, we are family," Sun Yunsheng said.
