Ch 56: Martial Uncle Teaches You A Fist Technique
“The lamb skewers are ready, come and try them.”
Shi Ming, at this time, grabbed a handful of skewers and walked up, then placed them in front of Tang Wanshu and his wife, saying, “Mine might not be as good as Martial Uncle’s, give it a try.”
At this moment, the couple couldn’t hear what Shi Ming was saying; their gazes were completely fixed on the skewers.
Both of their stomachs were rumbling, but since Li Hanzhou hadn’t spoken, they felt embarrassed to eat first.
“Try them.”
Li Hanzhou could see their slight hesitation, so he took one skewer first and took a bite.
“Then we won’t be polite!”
The couple also grabbed a skewer. The lamb had the smoky aroma of fruit wood, the fragrance entering their noses. Tang Wanshu took a direct bite.
The heat was intense; the lamb flavor was very rich, the meat tender. The crispy skin perfectly sealed in the juices, and with the cumin and faint spiciness, it brought out the lamb’s deliciousness to the fullest extent!
The meat had both lean and fatty parts, neither too dry nor too greasy—perfectly balanced.
Chewing it was an indescribable happiness!
“So delicious!” Tang Wanshu’s eyes welled up.
He had never eaten such delicious lamb skewers in his life.
“Mmm, so delicious!” Even Lang Xiaoyun, at this moment, disregarded her ladylike image and ate heartily.
The lamb warmed their bodies, leaving them feeling warm all over.
It was incredibly comfortable.
The perfectly controlled heat brought out the lamb’s deliciousness to the extreme.
“If only there were some beer.” Li Hanzhou ate the lamb skewers, starting to doubt Earth’s ice beer.
At this moment, a glass of draft beer, a bite of lamb skewers, a sip of ice-cold draft beer—that would be a true delicacy!
It seems I should research this, see if I can make some.
“Sir, I have some wine here!” At this time, Tang Wanshu took out two jars of wine from his storage bag.
“Good.” Li Hanzhou’s eyes lit up. No beer, white wine would do.
The two began to drink heartily.
Lang Xiaoyun clearly wanted to drink too, but she was pregnant and dared not; she could only accompany them.
Tang Wanshu and Li Hanzhou, however, were drinking heartily, one jar after another, endlessly, while Shi Ming kept grilling skewers, busy and happy. Later, Lang Xiaoyun couldn’t stand it anymore and went to help Shi Ming with the skewers.
Li Hanzhou and Tang Wanshu talked about everything under the sun. Tang Wanshu told Li Hanzhou many things about the Great Zhou Kingdom, a feast for Li Hanzhou’s ears.
When they got excited, they even talked about some gossip from the Tang Sect with Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou got a good dose of gossip.
“Hahahaha!”
Their laughter echoed in the valley.
If you didn’t know better, you would think they were out camping.
Li Hanzhou had drunk quite a bit and was feeling a little hazy. The alcohol in this world, although not high in proof, still had an effect when consumed in large quantities.
Li Hanzhou and Tang Wanshu had not used their cultivation to resist the alcohol, so they were both quite hazy at this point.
“Little Shi Ming, stop working so hard, you must be exhausted after a whole day!” Li Hanzhou beckoned to Shi Ming and said, “Come here.”
“Martial Uncle.”
Shi Ming ran over. Seeing Li Hanzhou’s hazy appearance, he said, “Martial Uncle, let me take you to rest.”
“I’m fine.” Li Hanzhou pushed Shi Ming’s hand away, then squinted at Shi Ming and said, “Shi Ming, your Martial Uncle made your Second Senior Brother the Number One Under the Transcendent Realm, a top talent among the younger generation, and made your Junior Sister a genius, changing her destiny, but until now I haven’t helped you much. Do you resent your Martial Uncle?”
“No, wasn’t Martial Uncle just going to take me to Tianxuan Academy to find the Spring of Immortality?” Shi Ming quickly said.
“Sir, you’ve had too much to drink.” Lang Xiaoyun saw that Li Hanzhou had had too much to drink, so she came to persuade him.
“Not too much.” Li Hanzhou swayed to his feet and said, “Shi Ming, Martial Uncle will teach you a martial art. Watch carefully. Though your aptitude is poor, this fist technique should be learnable.”
After speaking, Li Hanzhou walked to a nearby empty space.
“Okay, Martial Uncle, I will definitely learn carefully.” Shi Ming watched attentively.
“Then sir, we’ll go to the side.” Tang Wanshu was about to take Lang Xiaoyun to the side; it wasn’t appropriate to watch someone teach martial arts.
Stealing others’ martial arts was a major taboo.
“It’s fine, it’s not a highly advanced fist technique, you can watch.”
Li Hanzhou waved his hand dismissively.
Since Li Hanzhou said so, the couple sat back down, also curiously looking at Li Hanzhou.
“Little Shi Ming, watch carefully.”
Li Hanzhou, a little hazy from drink, slowly raised his hand, making a starting posture.
Then, he began to slowly perform the fist technique.
Shi Ming watched intently.
The fist technique was very slow.
Extremely slow.
Lang Xiaoyun and Tang Wanshu, initially watching the slow movements, thought Li Hanzhou was truly drunk, just casually performing it for Shi Ming’s amusement.
But after a few moves, their expressions changed from initial nonchalance to increasing surprise.
The fist technique remained slow.
But as Li Hanzhou’s movements became smoother, they unexpectedly saw a profound meaning in this fist technique.
“That’s Wild Horse Parts Mane.”
“White Crane Spreads Wings.”
“Grasping the Sparrow’s Tail.”
“Tai Chi Cloud Hands…”
Even Li Hanzhou himself didn’t realize that the Tai Chi Fist he was performing was subtly sweeping up the wind and clouds, each move condensing the Power of Heaven and Earth, every movement so natural and in accordance with Heavenly Dao.
Countless variations appeared in moments.
“Like sealing and closing!”
“Cross Hands!”
“Collect.”
With the final word “Collect,” Li Hanzhou finished the last move.
As his fist technique ended, the forest fell into a brief silence.
After a moment, the sound of insects chirping resumed.
Tang Wanshu and his wife were speechless.
What incredibly profound fist technique!
They considered themselves talented in martial arts; after all, they were both Profound Connection Realm experts at a young age. Tang Wanshu had been a genius disciple in the Tang Sect in his youth, yet after watching Li Hanzhou’s fist technique, he found that he could only understand one-tenth of it!
He could sense the astonishing opportunity and profound mystery contained within this martial art, but he couldn’t comprehend it.
Like an ant seeing the vast sky!
Like a lone boat in a boundless sea.
The couple exchanged glances, seeing the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
“No wonder sir didn’t mind us watching this fist technique.” Lang Xiaoyun sighed wryly, “I was once a genius disciple of the Immortal Crane Sect, yet I can’t even understand sir’s fist technique.”
“This fist technique, among all the cultivation methods in the Tianxuan Realm, could easily rank among the top three. Sir’s abilities truly are unfathomable.” Tang Wanshu was sober now.
