Chapter 105 Lama Fist
"Okay, let me ask."
Li Qiyao nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Not to mention meeting Yuanyuan, even she wanted to go.
Based on her understanding of Xiang Yuanyuan, she absolutely could not resist such temptation.
After all, it's not just men who love cars and horses. Women often can't resist the temptation of galloping horses.
……
The Yili Tianma Festival is an event held in a subordinate township, Zhaosu Town. ZS County is rich in natural resources, with vast grasslands, clear lakes and unique folk culture. The Tianma Festival is actually a horse racing event. It has been held in the local area for 30 years. It is a very famous event, especially this year it has been vigorously promoted, and it is said that celebrities have been invited to help promote it.
The galloping of thousands of horses is just an activity in the opening ceremony. At that time, a large number of horses will be led by people to gallop on the grassland, creating a scene of thousands of horses galloping.
Of course, "thousands of horses galloping" is just a rough adjective. In fact, more than 100,000 horses will be used, and the scene will definitely be extremely shocking.
"So, Boss Du, can you ride a horse?"
Xiang Yuanyuan stood at the airport and asked Du Ruo a question. As soon as Du Ruo said it in the morning, Xiang Yuanyuan immediately became interested. According to her, she had a horse when she was a child, but later one time she was drunk and got on the horse. She didn't hold the reins and fell off the horse. After that, her horse was sold.
So when Du Ruo mentioned going to see the horses, it immediately attracted all her attention, and then the three of them came directly. After all, they checked the Tianma Festival and it seemed that the opening ceremony would be held in these two days. It would be a pity if they missed the opening ceremony and could only watch the horse race.
“I have never ridden a horse, but riding a horse is not a problem for me.”
Du Ruo shook his head. His lower body was very stable due to martial arts training, and his limbs were very strong. He should only need to be taught once to be able to ride a horse.
However, Du Ruo did not forget to observe the expressions of the two people while speaking. After all, this is a plateau, and although the altitude is less than two thousand meters, it is inevitable to worry that the two people will have altitude sickness.
Fortunately, it seems to be okay. Xiang Yuanyuan often climbs mountains, and the altitude of Huangshan is much higher than here.
"Hey, then I'll teach you how to ride a horse. I guarantee it'll be no problem."
Xiang Yuanyuan's current state is completely different from when she was at home. She is a little excited and does not look sick at all as she did in the pub.
"Boss Du, Madam Boss, this way, this way."
Just as Du Ruo was about to answer, a voice from the airport shouted loudly, and the voice even raised its hand and shouted because it was afraid that Du Ruo couldn't see.
"Eh? Qiangzi, didn't you say you didn't have to pick us up? Why are you here? And how did you know about our flight?"
Du Ruo looked at Qiangzi with some curiosity. He had originally just wanted to ask Qiangzi about the Tianma Festival and didn't want to trouble the other party, so he didn't mention flights or anything like that. What's more, they had to change flights on their way from Huangshan. He didn't expect to see Qiangzi as soon as he came out.
"Hey, I have Sister Ling's WeChat. I asked her. Besides, since we are already here, I have to receive you throughout the whole process. Come on, come on, I'll get the luggage. The car is right outside."
Qiangzi was very enthusiastic. He took the luggage from the three people and then walked out with Du Ruo.
"How to say?"
Li Qiyao looked at Du Ruo and didn't say anything, but her meaning was very clear.
"Let's go, then follow."
Du Ruo smiled, but it was not easy to refuse the other party's enthusiasm.
"Boss Du, you can stay at my house today. My house is in the pastoral area. It's a big place. You can stay anywhere you want."
Qiangzi was driving the car and talking to Du Ruo. He was not as reserved as he was in Du Ruo's yard before, but he was still very polite.
"Come to think of it, I didn't expect you to be from Yili. At least your Mandarin doesn't have any accent. It seems that I had a stereotype about this place before."
Du Ruo smiled. Qiangzi was really different from the XJ person Du Ruo had in mind, both in terms of language and appearance.
"Haha, right? I actually studied at the Anhui Normal University in Anhui Province, majoring in Chinese literature. My father forced me to learn Mandarin since I was a child, hoping that I could go out and find a decent job in the future. Being a herdsman is actually very hard. It is far from being as comfortable as everyone thinks, and the money is not much. What I worry about most is natural disasters and man-made disasters. Maybe an accident will make all the hard work of many years go to waste."
When Qiangzi said this, his voice was a little low.
"How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."
Li Qiyao couldn't help but sigh. At that time, her father knew that she was always harassed by that man. He was originally an honest man, but he started sharpening his knife. Just imagine how long he must have been tormented for him to come up with such an idea.
"Then why choose Anhui Province?"
Xiang Yuanyuan added that her father had a low status at home, so she didn't have that feeling at all.
"I want to go further and see more of the outside world, so I love traveling around when I am in college, going to different places to experience different scenery and see different cultures. After graduation, I will come back here to teach the children here, so that they can also have the opportunity to go out and see the world."
At this moment, Du Ruo's impression of Qiangzi changed drastically. Under the rough appearance, there was such a delicate mind. Of course, he still wouldn't teach Qiangzi martial arts. There was no need. The other party had ideals and life goals, so there was no need to disrupt the other party's life. What he taught was enough for the other party to practice.
Just like himself, in fact, after obtaining the skill extraction system and practicing martial arts, he can't turn back. Now he just wants to see where the end of martial arts is and where the limit of the human body is.
"Wow, rainbow~~"
When the atmosphere in the car became a little heavy, Xiang Yuanyuan suddenly leaned on the car window, pointed forward and shouted.
It’s not that she had never seen a rainbow before, but the sky here was clearer and the rainbow covered half the sky, which made her a little surprised.
"We have plenty of beautiful scenery here. If you go hiking, you can even see the four seasons change in one day."
Qiangzi started introducing, and then he couldn't stop, and began to introduce the local scenery continuously.
"Qiangzi, why don't you find someone to learn martial arts from at home? You have to search all over the Internet, which is not only a waste of money, but also a waste of time."
Du Ruo looked at a temple outside the window and couldn't help but ask Qiangzi.
"Ah? What's there to learn here? I've never heard of any martial arts here. There are only a lot of people practicing Tai Chi in the park."
Qiangzi didn't understand why Du Ruo said that, and replied casually that he grew up here and was very familiar with the place, but he had never heard of anyone here who knew real kung fu.
"Oh, what is that?"
Du Ruo pointed to the temple nearby. The temple looked somewhat ancient, and the wooden buildings and stone pillars seemed to be covered with patina. It should be the time when the Tianma Festival was about to open, as there was not a single tourist in the temple.
The place that Du Ruo pointed to was the roof of the temple. Du Ruo had good eyesight and saw a little white cat on the roof, which should be a kitten. There was a lama standing next to the kitten, squatting and gently picking up the kitten.
(Lama means guru, so calling him lama directly is not disrespectful.)
Then the lama seemed to step down from the roof. The height of three or four meters seemed to be non-existent and he came down with light steps.
"Gah~~"
The sound of a car braking suddenly was heard. Qiangzi just happened to see Lama stepping down from a height of three or four meters. He was so excited that he stepped on the brakes. However, he was not driving fast to begin with, so he did not bump into Li Qiyao and Xiang Yuanyuan in the back seat.
In fact, he didn't see what was more shocking. The lama just climbed onto the eaves, stepped on the stone lion outside and then jumped up.
"Well...well...I know that temple. There are only two lamas in it. One is about my age, and the other is almost eighty years old."
Although Qiangzi's eyesight was not very good and he could not see clearly, he could tell from the lama's clothes that he was the eighty-year-old lama he mentioned.
How can an 80-year-old man climb onto the rooftop to save a cat? If this is not a master, then who is?
"What do you mean? Do you want to go and ask? Or should we keep going?"
Du Ruo couldn't help but ask. He felt that with Qiangzi's personality, he might catch up immediately and pester the other party to learn a trick from him.
"Let's go back first."
Qiangzi looked at the temple for another second, then saw the figure squatting for a while, probably putting the kitten down, and then turned back to the temple.
"Boss Du, do you know what kind of Kung Fu that Lama just used?"
Qiangzi started driving again and began to question Du Ruo.
"I can't see that. Just now I just went up and down the eaves. Sometimes you don't need any special skills to do it. It will come naturally when you have mastered the skills."
Du Ruo explained, and then looked at Qiangzi curiously. He didn't see any difference in his expression, but seeing that his hands were gripping the steering wheel with white joints, he knew that he must not be so calm inside, so he explained a few more words:
"In fact, there are many very famous boxing techniques in Lama boxing, and they are very ancient, but they are not widely circulated."
"If it's so powerful, why isn't it widely spread?"
"Because Lama boxing is a very demanding martial art, and all martial arts that require a lot of skill are hard to spread. For example, Tai Chi was originally a very demanding martial art, and it was also hard to spread. But after the training part was removed, Tai Chi spread all over the world in a very short time. Didn't you also say that? Tai Chi is very popular here."
As Du Ruo's various skill levels increased, he began to understand some of the martial arts in the world, so he spoke very clearly.
"Then...Won't Tai Chi just become something that old men and women on the street use to exercise? What kind of martial arts is it?"
Qiangzi didn't understand, but fortunately this was the road to the pastoral area, and he was very familiar with it, so it didn't matter if he was a little distracted.
"You hit the nail on the head. Isn't martial arts training now just about training the body? Isn't it enough to train the body? Why do we have to practice martial arts?"
Du Ruo didn't say anything more after he finished speaking. In fact, this was also the reason why he was unwilling to pass on martial arts to Qiangzi. He was sure that when he went to find the lama, the other party would refuse him.
