Beast Fist 153

  Looking at the vast and turbulent sea of clouds, with a million rays of light, the sun rising in the east, Zhang's face showed an expression of surprise and admiration, for a moment he was amazed by this landscape of mountains and mist that he had only seen on paintings.

  She has grown up like this, and it's still her first time standing in such a high place. This shock can't be digested for a while.

  Zhen Ming stood behind her, smiling and saying: "Two hours to climb one thousand meters, in terms of physical strength you barely passed, if you can reach the summit of this thousand-meter peak within an hour, I think from now on you won't have to be afraid of Liu Ermei that shrew anymore. However, to maintain abundant physical strength, long-term persistence is needed. Next, I will teach you a breathing method that will help you..."

  "Hand over the whip, you scoundrel!"

  Zhang suddenly interrupted him, turned around, and stretched out one hand to ask Zhen for the small leather whip that had been pulled on her buttocks countless times.

  Zhen Ming hesitated for a moment, his face showing a hint of bitterness, and handed the whip to her.

  "You hit me one hundred and seventy-nine lashes! I remembered, didn't you say that women are soft-bodied animals, only crawling but not running? Didn't you say that I shouldn't think about climbing this mountain for the rest of my life? Now I've climbed up."

  When Zhang said this, her beautiful eyes had a hidden smile of gratitude and resentment, as if she had already obtained his true transmission. Coupled with her delicate face, it was bright and moving.

  "Come on, wife, you should know that the master is doing this for your own good. Besides, the master didn't hit you too hard, did he? The pain is on his heart, not yours. Just a month ago, you couldn't even get out of bed without a cane, and now look at you, jumping around like a lively thing, able to climb up this high mountain in one breath. You should be grateful that the master used the whip to urge you on."

  "Look at you, with that mouth of yours, even the dead can be talked into being alive. I don't care, a real man keeps his word, and you said before that one day when I climb to the top of this mountain before sunrise, you'll let me do as I please. You're looking down on me!"

  "Girl, you misunderstood me, I'm not looking down on you, I'm looking down on women in general, hahaha..."

  ……

  Offending a woman is very tragic, Zhen Ming's buttocks were severely whipped by Zhang Shi with dozens of whips, and for several days, he couldn't sit down, could only stand to eat, stand to drink tea, and even sleep had to be face down.

  But he was delighted, Zhang's words and actions finally stimulated a strong momentum in her, although this momentum was directed at his buttocks, as long as she remembered that she also had this momentum, she would not be bullied by others in the future.

  A few days later, with physical strength as a guarantee, Zhenming began to teach her the "Five Animals and Six Beasts Fist" and "Tai Chi Push Hands" for strengthening her body.

  "What is called the 'Fowl and Beast Fist', as the name suggests, is actually an imitation of various flying birds and running beasts' limb movements, putting the human body in all sorts of states that violate human physiology. Although the posture looks awkward, it has a magical effect on the body, making it flexible and strong. This is my uncle's secret technique that he stole from Wudang Mountain."

  Zhang's innate talent was sharp and her bones were exceptionally soft, so she quickly learned these routines. When she practiced, it looked like a real performance. As soon as she got home, she would show off the new moves to Xing'er and Huan'er, which sparked their interest, and they started practicing together. The practice venue was naturally on the bed, resulting in the sound of the three women wrestling and shouting every night, and the bed at home would break once every few days.

  They were having a great time, but poor Sun Langzhong who lived next door suffered every night, hearing them shouting in their room "Lazy Bear Hugs Tree First Move", "Beauty Rides Horse Second Move", "Spirit Snake Enters Cave Third Move", "Swan Lays Egg Fourth Move", "Divine Turtle Breathes Fifth Move"…

  He is an old man who has seen and experienced much, having eaten more salt than others have eaten rice. How can he be compared to these ignorant women like Zhang? Every time he sees Zhen's bitter fate, he cannot help but shake his head and sigh, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

  "Rotten."

  This was his only comment after teaching Zhang's wife how to learn the Beast Fist.

  One evening, a long time later, the clever Zhang was guided by Zhen Mingshu and suddenly understood the meaning of the four consecutive moves "Beauty Riding Horse", "Spirit Snake Entering Cave", "Swan Laying Eggs" and "Turtle Breathing". She couldn't help but scold Zhen Mingshu severely, threatening to make him lose his temper, but after finishing speaking, she herself blushed first, which made Zhen Mingshu laugh loudly.

  This was a small marital secret known only to Zhenming and Zhang Shi.

  Ever since Zhang learned this beast fist, Sun Lang in the next room hasn't had a good night's sleep. He couldn't wait to announce that he had passed the test of fate and wanted the two to get married as soon as possible, so that Zhang could go somewhere else to practice her beast fist.

  If he hears her yelling "Ling She Ru Dong" a few more times, the old man will have a stroke.

  ……

  After passing the three tests, Zhen Ming asked a matchmaker to bring betrothal gifts and formally propose to Zhang's family. Although Zhang was educated, he was particularly superstitious about marriage matters. Zhen Ming had no choice but to find the most famous geomancer in Luoyang, secretly giving him over ten taels of silver to ask the geomancer to use his skills to make a good match between Zhang's birth date and his own.

  Zhang listened more and more uncomfortable, looking at Zhen Mingsu on the side with a serious expression, nodding in agreement again and again. She was suspicious, as she understood Zhen Mingsu, this person would never easily agree with someone's words, if he strongly agreed, his heart must be hiding evil intentions.

  After Mr. Feng Shui measured the eight characters, he quickly selected a good day for auspiciousness.

  Zhen Ming bought a piece of land not far from Zhang's residence in the southern part of the city and had a two-story house built according to his own design, which was not very large, as their wedding home.

  Zhang did not want to be separated from Xing'er and Huan'er, but fate was cruel. With Xing'er and Huan'er next door, there were many things that a couple could not do with outsiders present.

  He lied that the feng shui master had specifically instructed him that the wedding room must be brand new, with a new house, new bed and new husband, all of which must be genuine and not second-hand, lest they be tainted by bad luck and their marriage end in failure.

  Although Zhang was somewhat skeptical, she didn't dare to question Mr. Fengshui's words. She saw that Zhang was really reluctant to part with Xing'er and Huan'er, so she told her that after they got married and spent their honeymoon, Xing'er and Huan'er could also move in and live together in the new house. They would live on the first floor, while the couple would live on the second floor.

  Zhang's family didn't know what a honeymoon was, but they gradually put down their worries and focused on preparing for the wedding to welcome her into their home.
