Chapter 42 The old man's mansion
Bai Ze had also met some peers who practice Taekwondo in Yibei before. In addition, he was young and had a very different ability to accept new things than ordinary traditional martial artists. Therefore, although he was a little disdainful of Taekwondo's current practical ability, he felt that he had deviated from the foundation of martial arts and had largely become a show of performance.
But from another perspective, "Taitbox Do" has promoted its own form very successfully.
A martial arts category that has only been in 50 or 60 years since its establishment, has quickly become popular all over the world in such a short time, is loved by many young people, and has become one of the official Olympic competition events, which itself proves its strong vitality.
After all, martial artists are also human beings. No matter how powerful they are in actual combat, they still have to make a living.
Especially in modern society, peace and decline in martial arts have become a foregone conclusion. No matter how high the skill is, it is impossible to expand the territory and become a marquis and ministers like in ancient times.
If something cannot produce enough value, there is no need to exist.
No matter when, eating and dressing are the basic elements of people's life.
The same is true for Chinese martial arts. Only by keeping up with the pace of the times can we continue with the trend and eventually penetrate into people's hearts. No powerful skill can stop the changes of time and the thoughts of people's hearts.
Just like the concept of "national art" proposed by some of the most famous martial arts masters of the Republic of China during the Republic of China, it has gradually faded away. The era of "strong country and strong species" and "only killing enemies but not performing" has actually become a past trend.
In today's world, everything depends on marketing to promote, and the same is true for martial arts. If we cannot fundamentally change our former positioning, break some old traditions, and remove the drought and preserve the essence, then martial arts can only continue to decline.
This is undoubtedly a kind of sorrow for the whole nation.
Taekwondo is good at packaging and pays attention to overall commercial operation, so it is able to become popular in the whole world in a short period of time, and to a large extent extend from the field of fighting and fighting to the cultural level, which in turn has influenced many young people's understanding of fighting itself.
Just like the fifteen-year-old boy in front of him, looking at the flashing expression in his eyes, Bai Ze seemed to understand something at this moment.
The mother, who was awakened by the boy's voice, looked at Bai Ze from the other side of the seat and smiled apologetically at him, but for some reason, she was always afraid and afraid of Bai Ze in her eyes, similar to the smell of staying away from her.
Although Bai Ze is very young, his face still has a feeling of undescended tenderness and a person is also beautiful, but for more than ten years, his aura seems to be condensed into substance, especially in recent times, he has killed people, seen blood, and when he gets along with others without realizing it, he will give people a great sense of oppression.
Fortunately, he unexpectedly broke through the bottleneck just now. After his energy was restrained, he naturally restrained most of his momentum. Otherwise, the young man sitting next to him would not dare to come up and chat with him.
At first glance, the young man's mother was a person with a relatively superior family background. She was either noble or rich. She would certainly have no bad eyesight when she saw more people. As soon as she got on the bus, she realized the difference between Bai Ze. While guessing in her heart, she also pulled her son hard through the seat.
However, the young man's thoughts were obviously different from her. Not only did he not understand his mother's intentions and concerns, he was closer to Bai Ze.
"Hey, buddy, you don't seem to be the one here. Let's get to know each other, my name is Jay Chou!"
The young man is lively by nature and is very familiar with himself. Although he has a rebellious temper, he is not the kind of person that Bai Ze hates. He nodded at the moment: "Yibei, Bai Ze!"
"Wow, Brother Bai, your self-introduction is simply amazing. Just like those heroes who run around the world on TV, simple and straightforward, and cool!!" The little guy named Zhou Jie's eyes lit up for a moment, and he looked towards Bai Ze in his seat. "Yibei, I have a cousin's house in Yibeicang City. I was there with my dad two years ago!!"
"That is a famous martial arts town in the country. There are martial arts everywhere on the streets. I heard that old ladies in their seventies or eighties could kick whirlwind legs. Wow, kah..."
When the two of them sat together, most of them were Jay Chou shouting and talking nonstop, while Bai Ze listened with a smile and rarely spoke.
"Brother Bai, haven't you told me what kind of kung fu you have practiced? Your lung capacity is so big. I'm so old that I haven't seen anyone inhaling to get out the wind. Good guy, if you go to practice Taekwondo, you will definitely be at the black belt level in the shortest time." Jay Chou kept clamoring in Bai Ze's ear, and while talking, he was also learning the posture of breaking the knife in Taekwondo, and slashing forward.
"Xiaojie, stop making trouble!" Before Bai Ze could speak, Zhou Jie's mother, who was watching him, had already turned black. She couldn't figure out the origin of Bai Ze. The more she thought about it, the more she felt strange. When she saw Zhou Jie dancing, she immediately shouted softly.
Seeing that Jay Chou made a face, Bai Ze became honest in disappointment. After a while, he turned his head over to talk. He immediately smiled and said, "Since you like Taekwondo so much, just learn it well. It depends on your family conditions. You can't afford to learn it. Just use it as a fitness."
Jay Chou squeezed his nose and pointed behind his back with his hands: "Do you think I don't want to learn? To be honest, I have a cousin who practices Taekwondo since he was a child. He has been a black belt. When I was a child, I also studied with her for a summer vacation, but my mother refused to let her go. She doesn't give her money, so I'm learning nonsense! Fortunately, from now on, I'm going to transfer to high school here. She is busy with work and can no longer care about me. Haha, my freedom is close to you, and I can fly soon... When the time comes, you can learn whatever you want. The advertisement I just showed you is not far from where I went to school, wow kaka..."
"You want to go to school in Lushan?" He glanced again. The advertisement in the magazine in Zhou Jie's hand was indeed the address below of Lushan International, Shuangliu, Chengdu.
"What, Brother Bai! Do you also know Lushan International? I heard that the community is good. My cousin lives there. There are many foreigners. I don't know how the girl is...hehe."
Bai Ze shook his head but stopped talking. Although he was going to Lushan International now, he did not intend to talk to others.
After all, it was just a real estate of the old Taoist, and he could only stay there for one month, and during this month, all he had to do was practice, practice and practice every day.
In addition, Bai Ze was unwilling to be harassed by outsiders for his limited time.
Judging from the current appearance of Jay Chou, his endless temperament was almost certain that Bai Ze could almost certain what the result would be if he told the truth.
In the following time, as Zhou Jie chattered, the tourist bus finally slowly stopped at the tourist passenger transport center in Chengdu.
"Brother Bai, let's get along so well, let's leave a phone number to each other!!" When he got off the car, Zhou Jie was still feeling unsatisfied and reluctant to leave, wanting Bai Ze's phone number.
But the two sides were not familiar with each other at first. When they met by chance, Bai Ze smiled and said that he was unwilling to use his cell phone and had to stay in Chengdu for a while. He naturally met with him when he was destined to do so. He took the call written by Zhou Jie on the note, took out a large long box from the carriage, turned around and left the station.
His box is less than one foot high and wide, but it is nearly two meters long. It stands on the ground and is taller than him. It contains his sword for practicing skills. It is also a special code box, and it weighs at least 120 to thirty kilograms. Such a big thing is inconvenient to make a bus and can't be put on a taxi, so when you leave the station, Bai Ze can only carry it himself and walk along the road.
Fortunately, Chengdu is only ten kilometers away from Shuangliu, which is just a small matter for Bai Ze. Even though he is carrying more than 100 kilograms of things in his hand, the breath in his body flows, and he seems to have sticky force on the ground, rising and falling heavily, but there is no sound. It is like a human-shaped cat spreading after a full meal in the afternoon. It doesn't seem to be walking fast, but it shuttles between the crowd without a pause, as if it is like flowing water, and the actual speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.
Shuangliu County in Chengdu was formerly known as Guangdu, covering an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers. It is one of the four major airports in China. There are many rivers passing through it and belong to the Minjiang River system. It is located on the north side of the Mumashan tourist area and Changhu Lake to the west. The lakeside is covered with green trees and grass, mixed with scenic gardens and historical sites. It is the most famous place in the suburbs of Chengdu.
Just on Lushan International Avenue, Chengnan Road, Shuangliu County, surrounded by hills covering an area of more than 4,000 acres, surrounded by mountains and rivers, one by one, one by one, and one by one villa.
The villas in Lushan International Community have always been known as the most large-scale high-end community in Chengdu. They are surrounded by mountains and rivers and have natural scenery. A winding avenue passes through the center, dividing the entire community into two pieces, one south and one north. The wide and undulating golf is like a canyon and hilly hills, which cover all the low-density villa areas.
The periphery of the community is a high red wall, and the access control is all the most advanced electronic control alarm system, and security patrols and monitoring 24 hours a day. The entire community is like an independent town, not only with several independent medical institutions with advanced facilities, but also equipped with offices of various banks, even supermarkets, cinemas, shopping malls, etc.
In addition, it also includes all educational institutions from kindergarten to university. It has a strong faculty and is the most complete private school gathering area in the entire Chengdu area.
The developer of this community is said to be a large domestic real estate company with investments of tens of billions of yuan. The villas inside cover almost all known forms in the world, intertwining the beautiful golf and blue fields with Tuscan, French, Italian, Spanish, North American villas and garden villas.
Although it is in the country, it is very exotic.
And in such a community, of course, people live in either wealth or noble people.
According to the address given by the old Taoist, Bai Ze did not take much effort to walk along the way. He just stood across the street and looked at the luxurious and inconspicuous community in front. All the luxury cars were in and out, as well as the tall and sturdy electronic doors at the entrance of the community, and seven or eight tall and meticulous security guards on both sides.
Bai Ze hesitated for a moment. This was not his temporary stage fright, but he was even more curious about the identity of the old Taoist: "A old Taoist who went into the mountain with his hair and practiced in the hidden world actually owned such a luxurious property in the southwest city of Chengdu. It seems strange when he thinks it is. I wonder who the junior who bought a house for him is the one in the old Taoist's mouth?"
It seems that houses in such places are not something you can buy with money!
After smacking his lips, Bai Ze crossed the road and was indeed blocked by the security guard. However, when Bai Ze took out the key given by the old Taoist and input the six metal numbers protruding from it into the electronic door lock, the door automatically bounced open, and several security guards respectfully retreated aside.
Inside the community, there were several luxuriously decorated convertible electric vehicles parked on one side of the gate. The property here was specially used to transport owners who did not drive home. Bai Ze happened to be unable to find the place, so he told the driver the address and sat on it himself.
Lushan International's residential houses are divided into two parts: European-style towns and low-density villa areas. The houses in Laodao are close to "Yuelin Lake" and are uniquely located, and the location is relatively remote and quiet.
