Generation Z Artists

Chapter 9 Are you willing to be my last disciple?

"The foundation is still good."

Taoist Master Zhong Yunlong touched Fang Xinghe's shoulders and arms, and said in a light tone: "Do you want to be a martial arts star?"

"Yes."

Fang Xinghe merely nodded, spoke little and had a good attitude, showing a respectful and well-behaved attitude.

"Well, the conditions are really good..."

Taoist Master Zhong stroked his beard and looked at Fang Xinghe carefully, lingering on his still young but handsome face for an unusually long time. Finally, he nodded gently: "Then practice hard."

Fang Xinghe clasped his hands together and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master!"

"You're wrong. The relationship between master and disciple is a big deal. You can call him Taoist Priest or Master."

Master Zhong waved his hands, but he found it difficult to suppress the smile on his face.

"Yes, curator!"

When it was Yu Xiaoduo's turn, Master Zhong only said a few simple words: "You have a very good physique, try practicing."

When Master Zhong left with his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaoduo excitedly pumped his fist: "Brother, the curator praised my good bones!"

Fang Xinghe couldn't help laughing and found his simplicity amusing.

You just listen to people praising you, why don't you look at the difference in their attitude?

But he couldn't possibly discourage his own little brother, so he said with a smile: "Let's go, pay the money, and then we will work hard together."

Payment, settlement, and familiarity with the environment.

Although admission to the short-term martial arts class was paid, the two teenagers received the best treatment.

We stayed in the room with the least people, had enough food and meat, and the senior brothers gave us careful guidance and were meticulous and responsible.

In this way, Fang Xinghe lived an extremely regular life in Wudang Mountain.

Get up at six in the morning to do morning lessons.

“Respect nature, follow the laws of nature, love your country, be filial to your parents, respect your teachers, be strict with yourself, and be lenient to others. The highest good is like water, which benefits others without competing. Show kindness without expecting anything in return, and you will remember the kindness for thousands of years!”

After reading the pre-class instructions, Senior Brother Chen Shixing led everyone in standing still.

It was a wonderful feeling to see celebrities from his previous life appear in front of him, but Fang Xinghe did not try to curry favor with them. Instead, he focused on practicing.

Standing meditation is the foundation of everything.

If you stand correctly and for a long time, your physical attributes will naturally grow, thus saving a lot of star points.

After morning class, go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Then the young people will study Zhang Sanfeng's "The Theory of the Great Dao", "The Mysterious Explanation", "The Mysterious Essentials", and classics such as "Tao Te Ching".

Afterwards, practice individually according to different progress and practice items.

Strength training and weight training are not allowed for young people, so Fang Xinghe could only practice routines. He learned the thirteen postures of Wudang Tai Chi, the twelve-form small frame, the basic skills of swordsmanship, and the thirty-six-style spring kick.

Quality is more important than quantity. You have to think clearly about what your goal is.

If you just want to fight well, then you should focus on practicing the basic skills. It will be enough to have all the skills including fist, kick and sword.

After lunch, we have lunch break and free time.

Fang Xinghe is in the growth stage and has poor endurance, so he needs to take a short nap and then get up to read.

Now he is teaching himself the third-year junior high school courses. His learning efficiency in the mountains is extremely high and his progress is extremely fast. He even has enough energy to continue conceiving long novels.

After dinner, the brothers practiced on their own, and the students in the class could learn the knowledge they were interested in according to their different hobbies.

The Sanfeng School is full of talented people and teaches a wide range of things, including health preservation, alchemy, traditional Chinese medicine, ancient Taoist texts, and self-cultivation, all of which are very practical.

Of course, the knowledge that Yu Xiaoduo is most curious and fascinated by must be the authentic Taoist sex techniques.

Our Brother Fang is not curious at all.

It was precisely because he was calm and composed that he learned the fastest and most completely.

When Master Zhong has free time and is in the mood, he will chat with everyone in the side hall where incense is burning, discussing the past and present.

Fang Xinghe really likes the real and fake rivers and lakes and martial arts that he talks about. Most of the time, they are very mysterious, but inexplicably romantic.

In a fulfilling life, time seems to be accelerated.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

This year’s New Year’s Eve is on February 2th. Everyone goes to bed early the day before and starts preparing for the New Year celebrations as soon as they get up.

All the students in the short-term class have gone home, and only Fang Xinghe, Yu Xiaoduo, Zhang Xuan, Tang Chao, Wang Charlie, and some of the brothers who have not yet started a family are left on the mountain.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors and the Taoist deity, Taoist Master Zhong called Fang Xinghe to a room alone.

"How do you feel after practicing for so many days?"

Fang Xinghe thought about it and unexpectedly replied: "My mind and body are clear and I feel fulfilled."

"it is good."

Master Zhong was extremely satisfied and did not hide it at all.

"Xinghe, you are diligent, down-to-earth, intelligent and polite. You are a very good candidate for cultivation. Are you willing to formally become my disciple?"

During the past month, Fang Xinghe had been very busy, and neither had the Taoist priest and his fellow brothers, who had been observing him closely.

Taoist Master Zhong had never liked any child so much, and he liked Fang Xinghe so much. What's more, Fang Xinghe happened to be an orphan. At this moment, Taoist Master Zhong even wanted to pass on the entire Sanfeng Sect to him.

However, Fang Xinghe only thought about it for a moment, then shook his head solemnly: "No."

Master Zhong's hands trembled and he broke off several strands of his beard.

"Why?"

Fang Xinghe raised his head and said sincerely: "Master Zhong, I am not a person who likes to please everyone. I am determined to stir up the storm. In the future, I will definitely be deeply involved in the world of fame and fortune, with mixed blessings and misfortunes, and mixed reputations. I really don't want to drag down the Taoist Pure Land and the reputation of the Sanfeng Patriarch."

This is both candid and clever.

Fang Xinghe doesn't want to be a humble, sensible and relatively simple kung fu superstar like Jet Li. He dares to hype the news that Jet Li dares not to hype; he dares to say what Jet Li dares not to say; he wants to resist the people and things that Jet Li dares not to resist.

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence: planting golden lotus in the fire, my Tao is born from madness!

Master Zhong was silent for a long time, then sighed: "I knew you were not a quiet person, but I didn't expect you to have such a wild heart...

You are the only young man with such a kind of character that I have ever seen in my life.

Forget it, let’s put the matter of becoming your disciple aside for now. After the new year, I will teach you a few useful secrets.”

Fang Xinghe bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you Master Zhong, I will always remember your sincere protection."

"Go, idiot." The incident passed quietly and no one knew about it.

On New Year’s Eve, after eating dumplings, the gala was playing on TV and everyone gathered around the table chatting.

As they chatted, Taoist Master Zhong couldn't help but give Fang Xinghe some advice.

"Your bones aren't outstanding, but you should have a good figure after you grow up. You have an outstanding appearance, so you are really suitable for acting. So don't slack off. You must keep practicing and hone your basic skills to the top."

Yu Xiaoduo couldn't help but ask: "Director, what exactly is root bone?"

Taoist Master Zhong took a sip of tea and said slowly: "In terms of modern science, it is a combination of all physical qualities such as bone morphology, bone density, muscle density, muscle quality, etc.

Long arms and legs, in ancient times, your movement steps would be longer and your attack range would be farther than others;

If you have broad shoulders and strong bones, you can hang more flesh than others;
The higher the muscle density, the greater the strength.

A short neck, thick fingers, and a round waist all have their advantages.

In ancient times, warriors who were really good at fighting did not have good-looking bodies. It is always difficult to have both practicality and good looks. Therefore, most of the fierce generals recorded in history are majestic and tall. "

Yu Xiaoduo compared himself one by one and suddenly became very excited: "Then I will definitely be very strong in the future!"

Senior Brother Chen burst out laughing: "That's why Master praised your good bones."

Fang Xinghe pondered carefully and asked a question: "How can we make it look good?"

“It involves a lot of different qualities.”

Taoist Master Zhong's eyes were full of Fang Xinghe, and he patiently gave him examples and analysis.

“First of all, being in good shape is the best.

Secondly, there must be rhyme.

I have watched generation after generation of domestic Wuying class fighters. If they really fight on the ring, Jet Li would not be in the top 20, but when it comes to the fun of fighting, he is at least in the top three.

In fact, his physique is not outstanding. He is not tall enough, has short arms, and his body shape is very average.

Why is it so good to play?"

"Zaiyun!" Yu Xiaoduo said excitedly.

"Yes, there is a sense of rhythm. Even though it is the same move, he can always perform it with a charm worth remembering."

Master Zhong nodded and continued to talk in depth.

“And where does rhyme come from?
Personally, I think it’s about coordination.

Coordination is the first factor that determines the beauty of movement, far surpassing other factors.

We all know that when we practice martial arts, the most important thing is explosive power, and we cannot train ourselves to just have brute strength, but where does the extraordinary explosive power come from?

It's not that you have great strength and speed that your explosive power is strong, but it's that you are coordinated enough and can combine strength and speed perfectly, then your explosive power will be strong.

With a burst of strength, the originally slow movement suddenly became a whoosh and was so fast that there was an afterimage. However, when the power was exerted to the end, the hand was steady, without any tremor or shaking. That is called a master.

We say 'just one move without moving or shaking', and that one move is the internal and external unity of explosive power, control and balance, and it is coordination that plays a fundamental role.

In fact, I also learned this concept from others when I was studying abroad. It immediately solved my years of confusion. I’m telling you about it today and I hope you’ll take it seriously.

If you want to be a martial arts star, you must practice your coordination.

But this thing is not easy to practice, talent is more important, you should pay attention to it. "

"Thank you, Master Zhong. I understand." Fang Xinghe thanked him respectfully, and drew inferences from his example, "Jordan, the God of Basketball, seems to be the best proof of superb coordination."

There is a TV in the gym, where you can watch many programs. When Fang Xinghe mentioned it, everyone suddenly realized it.

"Right, right, right! That mid-air lingering was incredible, and the landing was especially steady. Isn't that a manifestation of his talent for coordination?"

"Not only that, look at his first burst, it was extremely sudden and concealed, and he was able to exert great power with a short burst of force. He must be an expert at practicing inch force."

"Black people are so talented. They all have long arms and legs. They are two meters tall and yet they are so coordinated. Even white Americans think they are crazy."

"If O'Neal wore heavy armor and used two sledgehammers, he might be able to defeat Lu Bu."

"That's impossible. He's 2 meters tall and heavily armored. There's no way he can find a horse that can carry him and run!"

"Yes, that's what it means when infantry fights cavalry. If they charge up, they'll be crushed with one shot."

Fang Xinghe listened to his senior brothers who used to cultivate their moral character suddenly discussing what would happen if NBA superstars practiced martial arts. With a real white American involved in the discussion, he felt a particularly magical sense of conflict.

While wanting to laugh, I also felt that this scene was real and vivid, full of life.

They are all a group of lively and interesting people...

He also actively participated in the discussion and put forward a view that has been known to everyone since then: "In fact, it is not that foreigners are strong, but that American blacks are particularly strong. In that special historical environment, the weak could not survive, and the top genes selected from generation to generation were combined, so it was particularly easy to produce abnormalities."

"Unbelievable!" Senior Brother Charlie exclaimed, "Fang, your angle is terrible, but it seems to be true!"

It must be true.

In a few years, the Chinese people born in the 10s and 20s will rank first in the world in terms of comprehensive quality. Their physique may not be as good as those in the tanned areas, but their intelligence may be far superior. Their height may be slightly lower than that of Northern Europe, but they will win in all other aspects.

In terms of tolerance, anti-allergy, lifespan, genetic soundness and even combat talent, China's Generation Z is the strongest.

Apart from football, what else are we not good at?

If you have a chance, go to the Internet and see what our international friends are saying. Be wary of the voices that brag about Chinese people that can be heard everywhere.

That's why Fang Xinghe was so uncomfortable with the entertainment industry after his rebirth. He was dissatisfied with everything he saw. The pride of Generation Z is really incompatible with the current era.

Taoist Master Zhong did not interfere with everyone's chat and continued to give Fang Xinghe earnest instructions.

"It seems that you really understand. Then, work harder in this direction in the future. Don't just practice routines. Do more special training while you are still growing."

"Yes, I remember."

Fang Xinghe was indeed greatly inspired and was very happy.

The star value will definitely be very tight in the early stage, so the points added must be targeted. Once the importance of various attributes is clearly ranked, you can find them according to your needs.

As an actor, at least three things need to be coordinated: voice, stage, acting, and performance. It seems that it has to be put second.

Once it is increased high enough, any training you do will be twice as effective with half the effort.

As for what the most important attribute is...

It's endurance.

Fang Xinghe needs to extend the effective time of learning and training, and quickly make up for his endurance shortcomings, which is relatively the most cost-effective.

Unfortunately, I still have to continue accumulating star points.

I don't know how that game went...
