Chapter 71: Apprenticeship to Li Shugen, Senior Sister Li Wanyu

After shouting, he turned around and said to Li Jiayi: "Come in first!"

"Okay senior sister."

Soon the middle-aged man came out of the house. After seeing Li Jiayi, he asked in surprise: "Is it you?"

"He's my master." Li Jiayi smiled.

"Don't call me Master, what are you doing here?" Obviously he recognized Li Jiayi.

"I'm here to become your apprentice! I've prepared all the gifts." After saying that, he picked up the things again.

Seeing what he was holding, the middle-aged man's mouth twitched a few times.

"Dad, I think he is very sincere, just accept him!" said the girl beside him.

The middle-aged man looked at the girl helplessly, then said to Li Jiayi: "You can become my disciple, but you must meet the requirements first. If you fail, you will go back to where you came from."

It seems that the middle-aged man listens to the girl very much, otherwise he would not agree.

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Li Jiayi almost patted his chest to make the promise.

"It's not about whether you can do it, but whether you can meet my requirements."

"Huh!" Li Jiayi was confused and didn't understand what it meant.

"come here."

"Oh!" Li Jiayi quickly put the things on the stone table in the yard, and then walked to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man reached out and began to touch Li Jiayi, first his head and then his neck.

At this time, Li Jiayi thought of a word, that is touching the bones. Yes, this is definitely the legendary touching the bones.

At first the middle-aged man didn't care, but the more he touched him, the more surprised he was, because Li Jiayi was so suitable for martial arts.

Soon the middle-aged man touched it once, looked at Li Jiayi helplessly and said: "Since my daughter has interceded for you, then I will accept you, but you can only be a nominal disciple. When your kung fu satisfies me, I will accept you as a formal disciple."

In fact, to Li Jiayi, whether they are registered disciples or formal disciples, they are all the same, as long as he can teach.

"Okay, Master, please sit down first." Li Jiayi said, pointing to the stone bench next to him.

"what?"

"Become a disciple!"

"Who did you learn this from? There's no need for all this red tape."

"Oh!"

Li Jiayi thought he had to kowtow and offer tea, but he didn't expect that it wasn't necessary. This was all caused by TV dramas in later generations.

"You watched me practice boxing for quite some time today. I don't know how much you remembered. Now, show me how to do it again."

"Okay Master."

After saying that, Li Jiayi stood in the middle of the yard, made a starting move, and then started fighting seriously.

The middle-aged people became more and more surprised as they looked at it, and finally they all stood up.

After Li Jiayi finished typing, the middle-aged man said, "Okay, come here."

"Yes, Master."

"What's your name?"

"Master, my name is Li Jiayi."

"Li Jiayi, who gave you this name?"

"My father gave it this name." Li Jiayi said, touching his nose.

"Okay, since you are now my registered disciple, I will tell you my name. My name is Li Shugen, and the boxing style I practice is Taizu Changquan."

"Taizu Changquan?" Li Jiayi said in surprise.

"Why, do you know Taizu Changquan?" Li Shugen asked.

Of course Li Jiayi knew that it was one of the six major Chinese martial arts.

Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, Wing Chun, Taizu Changquan, Baguazhang.

"I've heard of it." "Yes!" Li Shugen nodded and said, "Since you know it, I won't waste my words. I'll teach you again. You have to watch carefully."

"Yes, Master, but Master, I heard that there are formulas for practicing boxing, is that true?"

"That's right. I'll give you the formula later. You have to memorize it thoroughly and recite it silently while practicing."

"Yes."

Next, Li Shugen taught him systematically, corrected his mistakes, and also taught him how to do horse stance.

It will be all in vain if you practice boxing without practicing kung fu when you grow old. Horse stance is a part of kung fu training and it should be practiced together with the formulas.

As for whether the mantra is internal energy, of course not. There is no such thing as internal energy at all.

The exercise formula is just a method of practicing Qi. Reciting the formula silently while practicing can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Soon Li Shugen wrote a formula and handed it to Li Jiayi, saying, "Do you want me to teach you how to recite it?"

"No need, Master. I know them all."

"You know them all? How old are you?"

"Master, please don't look down on me. Although I am only ten years old this year, I will be in junior high school at the beginning of the school year. How could I not know you?"

Li Shugen looked at him in surprise and asked, "You were ten years old and started the first grade of junior high school?"

"Yup!"

Li Shugen turned his head and glanced at his daughter and said, "Wanyu! Did you hear me? Don't let your junior brother surpass you."

My senior sister’s name is Li Wanyu. She is seventeen years old this year and will be entering the first year of high school.

In fact, this is very normal. It would be abnormal for her not to go to the first year of high school at her age.

At this time, although children can go to school at the age of eight, it is just "allowance" and some may not be able to go.

Because when we are in school, the teachers will test us and give us a very simple question. Most normal children can answer it correctly, but there are some abnormal ones.

Even if you went to school, it didn't mean you could get promoted, because there was no nine-year compulsory education at that time.

There is no such thing as following the class. If you pass the exam, you will be promoted to a higher grade. If you fail, you will repeat the grade, like Shi Datiao in the college.

Most of the students were between thirteen and fifteen years old when they entered the first grade of junior high school, and some were even older.

"Okay, go back now! Come back to me when you feel you have practiced enough."

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, Li Jiayi prepared to go out.

"and many more!"

Li Jiayi stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the matter, Master?"

"Take these things back." Li Shugen said, pointing at the gifts on the stone table.

"Master, please accept it! I don't need these. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will get it for you."

After saying that, Li Jiayi ran out of the yard, not giving Li Shugen any chance to stop him.

Seeing that Li Jiayi had run away, Li Shugen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Wanyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Dad, your little disciple is really amazing! He can even get all these things."

Li Shugen said unhappily, "Did you ask Dad to take him in because of these things?"

Li Wanyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "No, I just think he's interesting. Besides, now that I have a junior brother, I'm no longer the youngest junior sister."

Li Shugen glanced at her and said, "Even if you have a junior brother, you are still the youngest junior sister."

"Ah! Why?" Li Wanyu asked.

"Because he is just a junior fellow apprentice." After saying this, Li Shugen went straight back to the house.

Li Wanyu stamped her feet and prepared to go into the house, but when she saw something on the stone table, she went over and picked it up.

"Humph! These are all mine, I won't give them to anyone else."
