Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

"Well, let's go through it first."

Lin Chan finally agreed to date each other first, and as for marriage, let's see how the situation develops.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He had no plan to get married right now. His doghouse was not suitable either. He wanted to settle the status first, lest Lin Chan be snatched away by some guy with the same good vision as him. He would cry to death if that happened.

"Okay, I'll go back and clean up the house."

Chen Xu is now planning to rent a house, that shabby house in the courtyard, whoever wants to live there can live there.

"Ah."

Lin Chan responded, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Chen Xu didn't know what to do for a moment. He wanted to hold the little hand but hesitated. The incident of being knocked down in an instant yesterday was still vivid in his mind. But he soon remembered the words of the old village chief.

"By the way, the old village chief said that he agreed to the matter he asked yesterday. I don't know what it was. Please tell our mother."

Lin Chan's face turned red instantly and she glared at him fiercely.

Chen Xu’s pole climbing skills are extremely high. His mother called him before he even started.

"If you keep yelling, I'll beat you up."

"Hey, girl, why are you blocking people at the door? Your son-in-law is here, come in and sit down."

Aunt Lin behind the door jumped up on the spot, fearing that her silly daughter would beat her son-in-law. What if he changed his mind?

"Go get a bowl of water, girl. Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come on, son-in-law, sit down first. Mom will talk to you."

"Okay, Mom, you say."

Looking at the two people who looked like real mother and son, Lin Chan's face was filled with black lines. She regretted it now and should have directly rejected Chen Xu just now.

For some reason, I felt itchy and just wanted to pick up this guy Chen Xu and throw him out.

Chen Xu had never been in a relationship in his two lifetimes, and she, Lin Chan, hadn't been in a relationship for more than ten years either. Plus, she did have some feelings for Chen Xu, so she just now agreed to date him out of softness. As a result, this guy seemed to be taking over her.

"Son-in-law, actually, you don't have to worry too much. It's true that our Lin family's martial arts have some special effects, but it doesn't matter. I'll let the girl teach you. When you practice well, you won't be afraid of those side effects."

In Lin's mother's eyes, the subtlety of martial arts is a real side effect. If it weren't for this crappy ability, how could her daughter not get married with her looks...

If she had known that practicing this would cause such trouble, she should not have let her daughter learn martial arts from her husband. What's the point of a girl learning martial arts? Aunt Lin has regretted it countless times.

The main reason was that Lin's father had not mastered martial arts back then. Although he was also very strong, he was not as outrageous as Lin Chan. His appetite was just slightly bigger than that of ordinary people, and he could not even talk about the realm of subtlety. As a result, although Aunt Lin knew the effect of this martial art, she did not think that her daughter could really reach that level.

After all, after thousands of years of inheritance, there are only a handful of people who can reach this level, and most of them are men. There is only one woman who has reached this level.

That was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. She was known as Lin Si Niang. It was said that she was originally the favorite concubine of Prince Heng. The most surprising thing was that she was very skilled in martial arts and formed an army of women in Prince Heng's mansion. She looked like a heroic general and was known as "General Yinghuan".

The family record of the effects of this technique on women was written down by this person himself.

In Aunt Lin's eyes, this crappy technique not only makes women eat more, but also makes it impossible for them to have their wedding night. If this isn't a side effect, what is it?

The legend of Lin Si Niang can be found in many literary works, such as Wang Yuyang's "Chibei Ou Tan", Lin Yunming's "Lin Si Niang Ji", Chen Weisong's "Women's Collection", and the most famous ones are "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Lin Si Niang is indeed an extraordinary woman. She is beautiful, skilled in martial arts, and knows how to repay kindness. What is more valuable is that she is fearless in the face of danger, wants to turn the tide, and has strong command ability.

Chen Xu didn't find it strange to hear his mother-in-law talk about this person's deeds.

After all, any family that has survived to the present day must have a few outstanding ancestors in its family tree.

The Lin family has a tradition of military affairs, so it is normal that there was a general in their family. He had actually heard of this Lin Si Niang, whom he saw by chance when he was reading Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

Being a general can't be a bad thing, let alone a female one. In the ancient times where men were superior to women, none of the female generals who could leave their names in history were simple characters.

In fact, he also wanted to find some martial arts to practice, at least to strengthen his body, but he never thought of learning the martial arts of Linjia Village because he thought it was not to be passed on to outsiders.

After all, I have heard a lot about this in my previous life. Many families, let alone teaching outsiders, even pass the skills down to males and not females.

"Girl, come here quickly. I asked you to bring a bowl of water. What are you doing in the kitchen?"

Lin Chan gritted her teeth and handed a bowl of water to Chen Xu. She had just listened for a long time and had long forgotten about this matter.

"You should teach Chen Xu more in the future, okay?"

"Okay, I will teach you well."

Lin Chan looked at Chen Xu with a puffy face, as if to say, "Just wait and see."

Chen Xu was still trying to build a good relationship with his mother-in-law, and had no idea that he was about to be in trouble.

Half an hour later.

By the small river in Linjia Village.

Lin Chan leaned against the tree trunk, holding a piece of wild grass in his hand and circling it on his fingertips, humming an unknown ballad with his little mouth.

A few meters away from her, Chen Xu was standing in horse stance with sweat all over his forehead.

At this moment, he almost felt like his legs were not his own.

"Well, wife, I feel like ten minutes have passed."

"If you call me wife again, you will have to stand here for five more minutes."

"Come on, I was wrong, okay?"

"No, the most important thing in martial arts training is the foundation. All martial arts are based on lower body skills. If your lower body is not stable, all martial arts are just fancy moves. Wait until you can practice horse stance to a solid level."

"What is the state of steadfastness?"

"To take root on the ground and stand tall like a mountain is to be down-to-earth and to be in a down-to-earth state. Although the Three Emperors Cannon Fists of our Lin family are mainly based on hand skills, they also need to draw strength from the earth. If the lower body is not stable, the strength cannot be exerted."

Chen Xu said that what you said makes sense and I can understand it, but can you be more specific...

"Are there any other realms?"

"There is also the realm of stepping into the sky, and the legendary realm of stepping into the void."

"What about you now?"

"Step into the air."

"Oh, so 'Takong' means you can walk in the air?"

Lin Chan really wanted to beat this guy to death, “God, you’re just stepping into the air and moving forward. Do you think you’re cultivating immortality?”

Seeing that Lin Chan ignored him, Chen Xu decisively changed the subject.

"Are there any martial arts formulas or something?"

Chen Xu was still very curious about martial arts. He remembered that there were mnemonics for martial arts in movies and TV shows.

Of course, he kept beeping just to divert his attention and try not to think about his shaking legs.

"What formula?"

"For example, the way of heaven is to reduce the excess and supplement the deficiency. Therefore, the void overcomes the full, and the deficiency overcomes the excess..."

"Where did you hear this nonsense?"

"Well, it is said that a certain master learned a unique martial art by referring to the Tao Te Ching, called the Nine Yin Manual..."

"Read less picture books."

"Ok."

Chen Xu shut up decisively. It was no use trying to divert his attention. He had never known that standing in a horse stance was so tiring.

Lin Chan, who was standing next to him, would occasionally hit him with a stick and correct his deformed horse stance.

Chen Xu was furious. How dare you hit me with a stick? Wait until I have practiced well, and I will let you see your man's peerless stick skills.
