Jin Mozhi's eyes darkened slightly. "A long time."

"How long exactly?"

Jin Yanzhi looked like he was determined to get to the bottom of things.

"From the time I can remember."

Jin Mozhi thought that as long as he had memories, he had been Jin Mozhi, so it wasn't exactly lying.

"So early?"

Jin Yanzhi's eyes widened as he stared at Hei Tu's full beard, completely stunned. Did he really have no recollection of the people around his elder brother?

He had seen Chongshan and Zhishui countless times, but he had never seen Heitu even once.

It must have been a backup plan left by the eldest brother.

When the Jin family got into trouble, he suddenly appeared to protect them.

After summarizing, Jin Yanzhi asked, "Then, can you teach me kung fu?"

An'an's gratitude towards Heitu made Jin Yanzhi envious.

He can no longer be like before, knowing nothing; he must learn kung fu!

"Jin Yanzhi, practicing martial arts is very tough, you..."

Chongshan was carrying a bundle of firewood into the yard when he heard Jin Yanzhi's words and replied without thinking.

Looking at Jin Yanzhi's thin arms and legs, Chongshan thought that back in the Marquis's mansion, he had such delicate skin and was so effeminate. He looked like a young master who couldn't endure even the slightest hardship!

"I'm not afraid."

Jin Yanzhi puffed out his chest and said, "I'm not afraid of hardship at all now!"

On the road to exile, such a difficult road, he walked it!

When he arrived here, he also took on the task of transporting camphor wood!

Isn't it just practicing martial arts?

"If you can teach, I can teach."

Jin Mozhi spoke.

Chongshan looked at Jin Mozhi with a puzzled expression. What's wrong with the young master?

Why teach Jin Yanzhi martial arts?

Despite being filled with doubts, Chongshan continued working!

"Quick, teach me!"

Jin Yanzhi spoke impatiently, thinking that once he mastered his kung fu, he would make An'an envious!

"Perfect timing! I'm going to the mountains to chop firewood. Do you want to come along?"

After Jin Mozhi finished speaking, he turned around and ran into the mountains. He had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and after the incident at the Marquis's mansion, he had not neglected his physical training. His speed was extremely fast!

"Wait, I'll..."

Jin Yanzhi thought he could easily catch up, but he couldn't, he simply couldn't catch up.

"Jin Yanzhi, what are you still doing here? Weren't you supposed to be practicing martial arts with my older brother?"

Chongshan grabbed his wood-chopping knife and followed, sensing that something interesting was going to happen.

Sure enough, Jin Yanzhi was panting halfway there. Seeing Chong Shan easily overtake him, he gritted his teeth and chased after him.

In a flat bamboo forest, Heitu holds a bamboo branch in his hand, his figure moving through the bamboo forest.

In Heitu's hands, even the soft bamboo branches seemed to become deadly weapons.

Jin Yanzhi was panting heavily. Hei Tu's agile and handsome figure seemed to automatically filter out his full beard.

"That's amazing!"

Jin Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with fervor; he wanted to become just as powerful!

Jin Mozhi flicked the bamboo branch in his hand, grazing Jin Yanzhi's face. He instinctively took a step back, staring in lingering fear and horror at the afterimage of the bamboo branch. He seemed to catch a whiff of the fresh scent of bamboo leaves, and...

The sound of bamboo twigs piercing the air...

"Would you like to learn?"

Jin Mozhi threw the bamboo branch in his hand towards Jin Yanzhi's hand.

"think."

Jin Yanzhi held the bamboo branch. This limp bamboo branch was surprisingly powerful in Heitu's hands.

In his hands, it has absolutely no lethality!

Jin Yanzhi waved his arms around for a long time, looking like a clown trying to imitate Xi Shi.

"It's not easy to master this set of skills."

Jin Mozhi's lips curved slightly.

"I'm not afraid of difficulties!"

Jin Yanzhi spoke excitedly, his eyes fixed intently on Heitu, wishing he could immediately become his disciple!

"But you can't learn it."

Jin Mozhi said hesitantly.

"Why? You don't want to teach?"

Jin Yanzhi looked at him, his eyes seemingly questioning.

"If you want to learn, I certainly have no reason not to teach you, but..."

Jin Mozhi dragged out his words.

"But what?"

Seeing his hesitant and stammering manner, Jin Yanzhi hurriedly said, "No matter what it is, I can learn it! I'm not afraid of hardship or difficulty!"

He survived exile, what is he afraid of?

He wasn't afraid of losing face when he went to the county to sell pickled cabbage porridge and white sugar water. He thought he was fearless and that he was incredibly strong.

"Young Master Yan is truly amazing!"

Jin Mozhi praised him before saying, "To master kung fu, one must abstain from lust and maintain this practice day after day!"

Why?

Jin Yanzhi retorted without hesitation, "Give up? I understand persistence, but what does abstaining from sex mean?"

Chongshan, who was chopping wood and watching the commotion nearby, almost burst out laughing when he heard this; he was struggling to hold it in.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jin Yanzhi glanced sideways at Chongshan, whose shoulders were trembling.

Chongshan turned around and said with a serious expression, "I wasn't laughing, I was chopping wood."

"Hey!"

Chongshan picked up a machete and started chopping down trees. Where Jin Yanzhi couldn't see, Ya Huazi was practically laughing his head off!

He said that his older brother wasn't so kind as to train Jin Yanzhi.

"Practicing martial arts requires cultivating inner strength, guarding the spirit, and purifying the mind. If you have too many distracting thoughts, how can you develop superb martial arts skills?"

Jin Mozhi raised an eyebrow: "Your body is weak. What if you encounter bandits? Or someone like Hu Dali who has bodyguards with him? How will you protect your family?"

"You really aren't lying to me on purpose?"

Jin Yanzhi was skeptical, feeling that there was something more to Heitu's words.

Why would I lie to you?

Jin Mozhi's calm face showed no sign of panic. His eyes were serene, and his full beard made him appear even more composed.

He said slowly, "Every man in the Jin family is a great hero. In the past, you...brother, supported the Jin family. Now, we guards can't be the ones to support it, can we?"

"If you can't stand up for yourself, how can you protect the Jin family?"

Jin Mozhi spoke slowly and deliberately, asking, "Do you really want to spend your whole life holed up in a place like Lingnan?"

"Don't you want to clear the name of the Jin family?"

"Don't you want revenge?"

Jin Mozhi fired off his three questions in quick succession. Jin Yanzhi stood ramrod straight, his fists clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "I dream about it!"

"If you want to, then practice hard."

Jin Mo said, "First, practice standing meditation."

Since he wasn't lying, Jin Yanzhi immediately obeyed and squatted in a horse stance. Under Jin Mozhi's guidance, Jin Yanzhi's horse stance became quite proper.

"Standing meditation is about cultivating qi. When the qi sinks down, the mind calms down."

Jin Mozhi stood before him, staring at Jin Yanzhi's face, which bore a slight resemblance to his own, and said, "Discard your focus, sever all inappropriate thoughts, and think carefully about what you should do!"

"Revenge! Redress!"

Jin Yanzhi squatted in a horse stance for a while, and his legs began to tremble, but he persisted. Large beads of sweat fell down his face. His mind was filled with the humiliation of being pinned to the ground by Cui Lie's imperial guards at the Marquis's mansion.

There was also a guard named Zhang who was escorting them. If he were like the elder brother, would he dare to bully them like this?
