Thanks to Long Xiangtian's firm will, he finally got some rewards.
Finally, Long Xiangtian had learned almost all the moves that the old man taught him, although he was not very proficient in it.
What’s interesting is that every time Long Xiangtian finally mastered the moves taught by the old man, Xiaomi would suddenly jump out and play with Long Xiangtian.
This Xiaomi was very clever and often suddenly jumped out from behind Long Xiangtian and yelled, scaring Long Xiangtian to the ground accidentally. However, Long Xiangtian would not blame the little girl for her presumptuousness and causing him to fail in his practice.
Once, when she saw Long Xiangtian suddenly fall to the ground, the little girl hurried forward to help him up, after all, he had just been down for a short time. Long Xiangtian looked at Xiaomi and said, "Why are you here? Didn't your grandfather forbid you to come over?"
"I came here quietly to see you, big brother. Are you feeling better?" the little girl asked with concern.
"Yeah, much better. If you hadn't asked the senior to save me, I don't know if I would still be alive now." To be honest, Long Xiangtian was very grateful to this little girl from the bottom of his heart.
Although she is very young, she has a big heart and is willing to save others. Not only is she a good person, but she also has a very kind heart.
Xiaomi said with a smile: "It seems that Grandpa has almost cured your injuries. You can practice martial arts now. However, you still need to pay attention to rest more."
Long Xiangtian reached out and touched Xiaomi's head, "I got it." After chatting for a while, "Then I won't disturb you from practicing, you continue, my grandfather also told me something, I haven't finished it yet, I'm leaving, bye." Then Xiaomi left.
Long Xiangtian was puzzled. After so long, he still hadn't achieved much. What was the problem? Or was it because he was too impatient? He wanted to succeed too much, which led to his continued behavior.
Xiaomi was telling the old man the truth about Long Xiangtian's situation. "I just called out to him from behind, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Grandpa, I don't think it's a good idea for him to continue like this. Please think of a way to help him. When I left, I saw him standing there stupidly, seemingly thinking about this matter."
"I'll go and take a look." The old man replied to the little girl.
Long Xiangtian was still practicing, but he couldn't do those few moves well. Seeing this, the old man walked up to him and said, "Don't be too anxious. You will definitely succeed."
Seeing the old man coming over, he quickly called out "Senior."
"The little girl has already told me about your situation. You have tried very hard."
"Senior, I always fail to practice the moves you taught me. Why is that? Does it have something to do with my aptitude?" Long Xiangtian looked confused.
"I've seen your efforts. This has nothing to do with one's aptitude, but with one's perseverance. As the saying goes, 'How the steel was tempered', you should have heard of it."
"But…"
"But what?"
"But I can't do it, Senior. I may not be able to become your apprentice."
The old man shook his head and continued, "It was the same when I first started practicing martial arts."
"Oh? Senior, how did you do it then?"
"When I first started, my will was as strong as yours. I practiced martial arts diligently every day and believed that I could do it. However, failures time and time again made me give up this idea."
Gave up the idea? Then how did the master succeed in practicing it? "Then, senior, you..."
The old man began to talk about his past.
At that time, it was the Anti-Japanese War. The old man's father took him to escape the war. Not wanting to have anything to do with those people, they settled down in a small village.
The old man was very young at that time, just like Long Xiangtian now. The old man's father also taught him this kung fu and told him to learn it.
"Father, why do we have to learn it?"
The old man’s father said, “Try and practice, and you will understand once you learn it.”
Is it so mysterious? After hearing his father say this, the old man decided to learn this skill well.
The old man practiced the moves his father taught him in the yard every day, but he could never learn them. He was puzzled. What kind of profound martial arts is this? Is there any move in the world that I can't master? As long as he studied the moves in the past, he would definitely learn them. No matter how difficult the moves were, they would not be difficult for him. What happened this time? What kind of martial arts was this? It was so difficult to master.
At the beginning, the old man was determined to practice it well, but no matter how much he practiced day and night, it was still the same. It was really strange. There was actually such a method in the world. How could anyone learn it
The father asked the old man how his practice was going. The old man said, "Father, this is too difficult to learn. I can't practice it at all. How did you succeed? Please teach me."
The old man's father just smiled and didn't tell him how to learn this skill. He just patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Study it slowly."
After a while, the old man really couldn't practice anymore, so he decided to give it a break. He had been practicing for so long, it was time to give himself a break and relax. Seeing me like this, my father didn't say anything and let me go.
Not long after, there was some movement outside the village. It was the bandits near the village who sneaked into the village at night and killed everyone in the village. Not only killed people, but also took away all the money and other things. They said that they had the support of the Japanese and were not afraid of any fate they would suffer. It turned out that they were traitors.
Because they attacked at night, the old man's father was alone and weak. He had to protect not only himself, but also the villagers and everyone here. Because of this, the old man's father was captured by the bandits and killed on the spot. That night, I was still in the mountains because I was playing around and did not go home. When I returned to the village, I was shocked. I cried and called my father, and looked for my father's body everywhere. When I found it, I burst into tears.
From then on, the old man vowed to practice any moves his father taught him well and avenge his father. With his own efforts, he finally learned the moves his father taught him and avenged his father.
After telling his own experience, the old man encouraged Daolong Xiangtian: "I believe you will succeed. As long as you persist, you will definitely be rewarded. Go and study hard."
Under the old man's guidance, Long Xiangtian started to work hard again.
