A man of great wisdom beyond this world

  The training ground of the assault battalion was in a newly built barracks area, and it was not easy for outsiders to see. However, there was one person who stayed by the training field every day to watch their training, and that person was an old beggar arranged by Luo Yi to live in the assault battalion's barracks.

  The old beggar's illness stopped after taking a few doses of medicine. The doctor's diagnosis was correct, and the main reason for the old beggar's illness was hunger and cold. In the barracks of the shock troops, the old beggar ate his fill and slept warmly, and his complexion improved day by day. Luo Yi had someone send them some clean clothes to change into, so the old couple no longer looked dirty and disheveled.

  Every day after breakfast and lunch, the old beggar would stroll around the barracks area of the assault camp, while his partner stayed in the house to help the soldiers of the assault camp mend their clothes. Luo Yi originally wanted to arrange a few soldiers to help the old beggar renovate his house again, and then let them move back into their own home. But as training became more intense, this matter was put aside. On this day, the old beggar wandered alone to Luo Yi's side while he was in training, only then did Luo Yi remember that he had not taken care of this kind elder brother yet.

  "Hey old man, taking a stroll?" Luo Yi came down from the equipment, wiping his sweat and greeting the smiling old beggar standing aside.

  "General Luo, you've worked hard."

  "It's nothing, just exercising and loosening up," Luo Yi said. "How is your body? Has the asthma recurred?"

  "Fortunately, Toro didn't make it."

  "That's good. You can rest assured and stay here for a while, when our training is easier, I will arrange for several brothers to renovate the house for you again. The living expenses of your two elderly people are covered by our assault camp, 5 yuan per month, do you think it's suitable?"

  "Hehe, then thank you, Captain Luo," the old beggar said humbly, "I'm just a beggar, how dare I let the captain think of me like this."

  "Hey, don't say that, old man. Who doesn't have a bad time? Sorry, I gotta go practice martial arts now."

  The old beggar nodded: "Since Captain Luo is busy, you can go quickly."

  Luo Yi saw that the old beggar seemed to have something on his mind, and asked in surprise: "Sir, is there something you want to tell me?"

  The old beggar said: "Nothing big, I'm just a beggar, what's the big deal? If the captain doesn't mind, whenever it's convenient, please come to my room for a chat."

  "Alright, I'll go visit the old couple after I finish training." Luo Yi responded with a sound, and went to train with a full stomach of doubts.

  When the training reached a certain point, Luo Yi said goodbye to Xu Liangqing and left early. He was worried about the old beggar's appointment with him and didn't know if the other party had encountered any trouble.

  "Director Luo has arrived, please come in and take a seat." The beggar woman who was sitting at the door mending clothes saw Luo Yi arrive and hastily stood up to greet him.

  "Is Grandpa at home?"

  "Here, here."

  Luo Yi entered the house, and the old beggar was waiting for him. The beggar woman came over to pour them water, then took some clothes and sat down at the door to mend them. Luo Yi suddenly had a feeling of being an underground party contact, could it be that the beggar woman was intentionally sitting at the door keeping watch?

  "Grandfather, I've been busy with training and haven't had a chance to come see you. It's truly impolite of me." Luo Yi said solemnly, "I still haven't had the opportunity to ask your esteemed surname and given name, grandfather."

  "How humble, how humble, this old man's name is Qin Feng."

  "Okay, from now on I'll call you Mr. Qin, and I'll call your wife Mrs. Qin."

  "Alas, we are just two beggars, how dare we call ourselves master and madam?" Qin Feng said, "In this Zhu Shan Town, regardless of age, everyone calls me Old Beggar."

  Luo Yi laughed: "How could that be? The child doesn't understand and is just making a fuss. Master Qin, you called me here, don't you have something to say?"

  Qin Feng said: "Actually, there's nothing much going on. Yesterday I saw you guys training and saw Luo Camp Commander fall down, don't know how badly he was hurt?"

  Luo Yi didn't expect Qin Feng to ask about this, and he was taken aback. Yesterday, while practicing a wall-flipping move, he accidentally slipped on the red mud left by the soldiers in front and fell off the wall, bruising his back and straining his shoulder. In fact, such injuries were quite common among the soldiers during these days of training, Luo Yi had no idea how Qin Feng came to notice him.

  "Mr. Qin, I did indeed get hurt yesterday and still have some pain on my back now. Thanks for remembering, Mr. Qin."

  "Can I take a look?" Qin Feng said.

  Luo Yi didn't know what kind of trick Qin Feng was playing, but judging from his expression, it didn't seem like he had any malicious intentions. Luo Yi took off his outer garment and exposed his back to let Qin Feng take a look.

  Qin Feng patted Luo Yi's back and said, "Commander Luo, this strain can't be taken lightly. If it's not treated promptly, using force like this again might lead to chronic illness."

  Luo Yi's mind stirred, and he thought to himself that this beggar might be more than meets the eye. He followed up on Qin Feng's words and asked: "Qin Dage, from what you're saying, can you treat injuries?"

  Qin Feng said: "I, a beggar, should at least learn some medical skills from the itinerant doctors. Otherwise, what if I get beaten up while begging one day and can't treat myself?"

  "Then I'll trouble Old Man Qin to help me treat it."

  Qin Feng asked Luo Yi to sit down, and he himself took out a small medicine bottle from somewhere, poured some unknown liquid into his hand, and began to rub it on Luo Yi's back. The old beggar's hands were rough like a file, and at first, Luo Yi felt a burning pain in his skin, but later, the pain subsided, replaced by a cool sensation, as if the blood stagnation under his skin was slowly dispersing, and the injured area also became more relaxed.

  "Awesome." After Qin Feng's massage, Luo Yi sincerely praised. He stood up, swung his arms a few times, and the soreness that had been bothering him all day was gone without a trace. Even the numbness in his muscles over the past few days was completely gone.

  "Thank you, Mr. Qin, you are indeed a divine doctor."

  Qin Feng chuckled: "A minor skill, what's there to boast about? This old man has one more thing to say, I don't know if it should be said or not."

  "Mr. Qin, don't be polite with me, just say what's on your mind."

  "Your department has been practicing martial arts for the past few days, I took a look and felt that some parts were not quite right, I wonder if Captain Luo had any deeper meaning?"

  Lu Yi was sweating profusely, looking at this master of language arts. Clearly saying that our martial arts skills are too poor, yet asking if there's any deeper meaning. Can't I invite a top-notch martial artist to teach us? Now I can only rely on Su Xiaofeng, this three-legged cat, to teach the other two-legged cats. You old man, how can you be so sarcastic? Wait a minute, he was able to see that our punches and kicks were not up to par, could it be that he understands?

  "Master Qin, have you practiced martial arts before?"

  Qin Feng said, "When I was a young beggar, I learned some skills from an older beggar. It's been a long time, and I'm not sure if I can still pick it up. If Captain Luo is willing, let's find a place to exchange blows."

  Qin Feng's words were humble, but the content hidden in them revealed a hint of arrogance. Luo Yi felt a mix of emotions, this was the legendary overbearing aura... no, it was the majestic aura! I had sensed it earlier, this old man wasn't simple. Only, I had suspected he was a Kong Yiji before, now it seems, maybe he's a Hong Qigong instead.

  "Let's go, let's find a quiet place," Qin Feng suggested.

  Luo Yi knew that Qin Feng did not want to reveal the truth in front of everyone, so he followed him out of the camp. After walking for a few miles, they came to a secluded forest edge, where Qin Feng stopped and turned around with a faint smile: "Commander Luo, it's just here."

  Lu Yi saw that Qin Feng's face had completely lost the despondent air of an old beggar, and his eyes shone with a sharp light, making Lu Yi feel a chill run down his back: Maybe today he would end up dead... He hastily cupped his hands together: "Master Qin, let's just stop here. I don't understand martial arts, today was mainly to watch your performance."

  Qin Feng smiled and swung his palm at Luo Wei, who crossed his arms to block the attack with the moves he had learned from Su Xiaofeng. However, before Qin Feng's palm even reached him, a strong gust of wind blew towards Luo Wei, causing him to stumble and spin around. Then, Qin Feng took a step forward and kicked his left foot at Luo Wei's face. Luo Wei instinctively raised his hand to block the kick, but Qin Feng's foot was just a feint, using Luo Wei's hand as a springboard to propel himself upwards. His right foot whistled through the air, heading straight for Luo Wei's temple. Luo Wei cried out in alarm, forgetting all the moves he had learned, and covered his head with both hands. Luckily, Qin Feng didn't intend to hurt him seriously, so he lifted his right foot slightly, grazing Luo Wei's scalp as it passed by.

  Luo Yi's fright had slightly subsided, and he looked up to see that Qin Feng's figure had already flown five or six steps away. He was like a ghostly apparition, moving through the thicket of trees with his palms flying up and down, causing the low-hanging branches and leaves to flutter about like butterflies in the turbulence of his palm force. Luo Yi's eyes were wide with wonder; this was no longer some old beggar, but rather a lofty recluse hidden away in the mountains.

  "How's that, General Luo? Can this old man's few moves still pass the test?" Qin Feng said with a humble tone after showing off his skills and calmly returning to Luo Yi's side.

  "Awesome, awesome! What is this that can't be overlooked, it's simply exquisite, no, it's simply earth-shattering, shocking the world...!" Luo Yi exclaimed incoherently. His eyes were still fixed on the forest that Qin Feng had just ravaged, and he clearly saw several thick-trunked cypress trees slowly falling down.

  "If Luo Yingzhang thinks that this old man's few moves are still passable, I'd like to pass it on to Luo Yingzhang. Does Luo Yingzhang have any interest in it?"

  Luo Yi heard this and felt like a thunderclap on a sunny day. Did I hear that right? Is this martial arts master going to take me as his apprentice? Such a cliché plot is actually happening to me? He was dazed, just like the heroes in the movies he had seen before, and with a "thud" sound, he knelt down on both knees, shouting: "Master, please accept your disciple's bow!"
