Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 2 Martial Arts Practice
"Old Li, do you also want to learn from the old man of the Zhang family in Dongcheng, an 80-year-old man who practices martial arts and marries an 18-year-old girl?"

A security guard with pockmarks all over his face screamed strangely.

When the people around heard this, they started to make a fuss again.

"The children in the south village bully me because I am old and weak."

Li Rui is now nearly seventy years old and has almost no potential. Naturally, he is easy to bully in the eyes of these young guards. They have only heard of "don't bully the poor young people", but have never heard of "don't bully the poor old people".

At fifty, one knows the will of Heaven.

What it means is that if a person has not achieved anything after the age of fifty, he or she can only live a timid life.

These burly guards would not show the slightest respect to an old man like him.

Li Rui had long been accustomed to this: "Old Yang, whether you will give it or not, just tell me straight out."

Yang Yong was even more surprised when he saw that Li Rui was serious. He took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to Li Rui: "Old Li, although this Eight Section Brocade is easy, you have to be more careful and don't hurt your waist."

He was just giving a kind reminder, after all, he didn't have many close friends in the Zhu family.

In his opinion, Li Rui was already seventy years old, and any fall could cost him his life.

But these words sounded like a bigger joke to the young guards. The guards on the martial arts field almost laughed to tears while holding their stomachs.

Li Rui took the martial arts from Yang Yong and walked away calmly.

If it were in the past, he might have felt aggrieved.

But since Wu Gu came into being, these taunts were nothing but wind around his ears and could not cause any waves at all.

"master."

"master."

In the stable, two young men, one tall and one short, saw Li Rui with different expressions.

These two young men were Li Rui's disciples.

The tall one is called Ma Yang and the short one is called Wang Zhao.

Being a horseman in a wealthy family is a popular job. Li Rui suffered a lot in order to learn the skill of raising horses from the previous horseman. As the ancient saying goes, teaching an apprentice will starve the master. If you want to learn a skill well, there is no reason not to suffer.

Li Rui scraped the dry food with his hands and patted the horse's belly.

"Add three eggs and two pounds of beans."

Wang Zhao quickly said respectfully: "Okay, Master, I'll go right away."

In comparison, Ma Yang's attitude was much more perfunctory.

Ma Yang came to the stable seven years earlier than Wang Zhao, and learned most of Li Rui's skills from him. However, Li Rui found that Ma Yang was a man with evil intentions and often tried to curry favor with the master of the Zhu family by bypassing Li Rui.

This undoubtedly violates the taboo between master and apprentice.

Of course, Li Rui would never let the situation where his apprentice starved to death actually happen, so he kept some tricks for Ma Yang and did not teach him all the tricks of raising horses.

Ma Yang also had some complaints about his master.

People's hearts will change.

In the beginning, Ma Yang and Li Rui actually had a very good relationship. Ma Yang even kowtowed and vowed to take care of Li Rui until his death.

But Li Rui was so resilient that Ma Yang's patience was worn out over time.

Li Rui saw all of this.

Managing disciples is like managing a family. Every family has its own problems.

In the past, Li Rui would complain to Yang Yong after getting drunk, saying that he had been careless in accepting disciples and was afraid that his reputation would be ruined in his later years, but now he has let it go.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

After supervising his two apprentices to mix the fodder, Li Rui felt relieved and returned to his room.

He opened the book with the three big characters "Eight-Section Brocade" written neatly on the cover.

This Eight Section Brocade is not some advanced martial art, it is just something you can find everywhere on the street.

But even so, not everyone can get it, at least most of the Zhu family's servants don't have this opportunity.

At this time, the benefits of living a long life are reflected. Li Rui has lived too long and has a lot of time to waste, such as drinking with Yang Yong. On the one hand, the two have similar temperaments, and on the other hand, he has always been thinking about practicing martial arts.

"Do it after midnight and before noon, and nature will unite heaven and earth, and the cycle will turn in sequence. The eight trigrams are good causes."

Eight-Section Brocade is a set of health-preserving exercises that was widely circulated in the State of Yu. It is used to strengthen the body and can be practiced by anyone from the age of eighty to a young child, so Yang Yong gave it to him so casually.

If it is a high-level skill, it may not be the case.

It is enough for Li Rui now.

After acquiring Wu Gu, he felt as if he had endless energy.

Half an hour later, he finished practicing a set of Eight-Section Brocade without breaking a drop of sweat.

"Good bones indeed!"

Li Rui felt that if he ran one kilometer in the snow right now, he would probably be able to beat half of the Zhu family's guards. He was so amazing just after acquiring the Martial Bone. What would it be like if he could master the Eight-Section Brocade?
He couldn't help but look forward to it.

Want to punch a nursing home?

The old man is not so easy to mess with.

Late at night, ugly time.

Li Rui slowly opened his eyes from his sleep, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and frowned slightly.

Got up a quarter of an hour late.

The biological clock that has been maintained for decades suddenly failed today.

He soon found the reason - practicing martial arts.

Practicing Ba Duan Jin for a whole night consumed a lot of his energy, so he got up late because he was tired.

Li Rui became alert.

There has always been a saying in the Qinghe martial arts circle that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Having a martial artist in the family not only means losing a strong laborer, but more importantly, practicing martial arts consumes too much energy. One person can eat the same amount of food as three. Apart from that, one also needs to take herbs to remove hidden injuries. Otherwise, over time, the gains will not make up for the losses and the person will only become a useless person.

Fortunately, as a groom, he was guaranteed food.

If the cook does not steal, the grain will not be harvested.

The same principle applies to horsemen. Horses eat better than humans. In addition to hay, they also eat refined rice, beans, and even eggs.

It’s okay to take some secretly, as long as you don’t get caught by the owner.

With his qualifications, he can do these things with ease.

The benefits of being older are reflected at this moment.

Li Rui put on a cotton jacket in the dark and walked out of the room with white smoke coming out of his mouth.

When he walked into the stable, Wang Zhao was already diligently mixing hay, but Ma Yang was nowhere to be seen.

Li Rui frowned and asked, "Where's Ma Yang?"

While working, Wang Zhao said, "Brother Ma said he was not feeling well, so he asked me to take over tonight and come back in a few days."

Li Rui is very experienced.

How could he not hear that Ma Yang was clearly bullying Wang Zhao because of his lack of experience? He dared to give up now, and it would be even more difficult to discipline him in the future.

"I see."

Li Rui did not get angry immediately. Getting angry now would have no effect except making Wang Zhao think too much and damaging his dignity.

He checked the stables and then went to the hay barn.

Five or six chickens were dug out from the haystack.

He had hidden these here at the beginning of autumn. He had originally intended to fry them and eat them with wine, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy now.

With these eggs, I should be able to handle it for a while.

After I have mastered martial arts, I will find a way to get some herbs to nourish my body.

Take your time. We have already waited for seventy years, so a few months won’t make any difference.

　It is very important to read new books. I hope everyone can click to the end of the ranking list every day. Thank you!
