Chapter 226 A Casual Talk About Past Lives
Lin Yundan pointed at Zhang Sanfeng and asked Leng Xiyue, "Old man Leng, do you know who this great master sitting in front of you is?"
Leng Xiyue shook her head: "Didn't you say that Master Zhang came from the same world as you, only from a different dynasty of more than six hundred years?"
Lin Yundan turned to Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Junbao, why don't you just tell us how old you are?"
When you arrived, had the Ming Dynasty already been established?
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "When I came here, the Ming Dynasty had indeed been established for over a hundred years."
But I have been living in seclusion for a long time, and I only remember that it was during the Jingtai era.
Unfortunately, Lin Yundan had no idea which year Zhang Sanfeng was referring to.
She had no idea which emperor was on the throne during the Jingtai era.
"Oh dear, I've never heard of this reign title before. Why don't you tell me which year you came here?" Lin Yundan said speechlessly.
Zhang Sanfeng thought for a moment and said, "It should be the eighteenth year of the Jingtai reign!"
Lin Yundan helplessly stopped her, saying, "Stop, stop, stop! Just tell me how old you are!"
Zhang Sanfeng remained silent upon hearing Yun Dan's words.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "When I came here, it was three Jiazi and forty-three years later."
As soon as Zhang Sanfeng finished speaking, Lin Yundan stood up in surprise and shouted, "What? You said you were already two hundred and twenty-three years old when you came here?"
Leng Xiyue heard Yun Dan say that the person in front of her was over two hundred years old.
He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What? Two hundred and twenty-three years old?"
Lin Yundan counted on her fingers: "So, Junbao, if you add the six years you were in a coma, wouldn't you be two hundred and twenty-nine years old now!"
Yun Dan seemed to have been suddenly struck by something, her eyes widening instantly, and she started yelling.
"That's not right! The rumors from my area don't say that."
Some say Junbao, you only lived to be a little over 140, while others say you lived to be 218!
Upon hearing Yun Dan's words, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Then he reached out and gently tapped her forehead.
The blow was very light and didn't hurt, but Yun Dan still exaggeratedly cried out "Ouch!"
"You clever little girl, why do you speak so bluntly!"
"I'm standing right in front of you, perfectly healthy and alive," Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile.
Yun Dan reached up and touched her forehead, looking aggrieved as she muttered, "I didn't make these things up; they were just passed down and embellished by later generations!"
Just then, Leng Xiyue suddenly stood up with a solemn expression and respectfully bowed to Zhang Sanfeng.
Just as he was about to bend down, Zhang Sanfeng immediately reached out his right hand and helped him up.
"Layman, what are you doing?" Zhang Sanfeng asked with a puzzled look.
Leng Xiyue said sincerely, "I never expected that you, senior, would have such a long life. I was very rude before, and I hope you will forgive me!"
Zhang Sanfeng laughed heartily and said, "I have never cared much about these worldly formalities. Let's treat each other as equals and there's no need for such formalities."
After saying that, he smiled and pointed at Lin Yundan, stroking his beard while teasing Leng Xiyue.
“You’re not even as good as this young girl. From the moment she met me, she hasn’t shown me any respect whatsoever.”
Upon hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, Lin Yundan's excited expression instantly froze, and she stood there stunned as if she had been struck by a pressure point.
She then realized that she was just too excited.
From the moment he met Zhang Sanfeng, he called him "Junbao" repeatedly.
Whether in her past life or this life, she has always had a deep affection for the name "Zhang Junbao".
Compared to the solemnity and seriousness of "Zhang Sanfeng," or the lofty title of "Zhang Zhenren," it is a different story.
The name "Zhang Junbao" feels more familiar to her.
It was as if the distance between them, spanning time and space, had been shortened in an instant.
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng said this in a slightly teasing way.
She stuck out her tongue playfully, a little embarrassed.
Then, like a little sparrow, she walked lightly to Zhang Sanfeng's side.
She affectionately hugged his arm and started to act coquettishly.
"Oh dear, Master Zhang, I didn't mean to be so disrespectful!"
You have no idea, ever since I learned about your deeds in my past life, I have been extremely fond of the name 'Zhang Junbao'.
In our area, many of your life's deeds have been carefully compiled into books by later generations.
And it was even made into a movie, which became a huge hit!
Although I know you don't understand what a movie is.
Let me put it another way: movies are like acrobatic performances that tell your story.
And in our local park, every morning there are many elderly people practicing the Tai Chi you created!
Zhang Sanfeng's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this.
His previously calm face suddenly widened in shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Oh? Is that so! I never imagined that the Tai Chi I created back then could still be passed down to this day after hundreds of years. It is truly a cause for celebration!"
Zhang Sanfeng was filled with emotion, and his tone was full of satisfaction.
Yun Dan said proudly, "Of course! Where I'm from, everyone knows that Tai Chi not only helps people cultivate their character but also prolongs their lives!"
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Yun Dan with great interest and asked with a smile, "Little girl, do you also know Tai Chi?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Dan's smile froze instantly, and her expression became somewhat awkward.
After all, the Tai Chi Chuan of later generations has undergone continuous evolution and has changed significantly from the one created by Zhang Sanfeng.
Although she herself cobbled together a few moves from various Tai Chi techniques from later generations.
However, I really wouldn't dare to presume to teach the true founder of Tai Chi.
Just as Yun Dan was at a loss for words,
Leng Xiyue seemed to suddenly remember something and interjected, "I remember now, so those slow and leisurely moves that Xiao Yundan was performing before were the Tai Chi Chuan that you created, Senior."
Zhang Sanfeng was genuinely surprised to hear Leng Xiyue's words.
He never expected that this little girl from six hundred years in the future would actually know Tai Chi.
Yun Dan was shocked to hear that Leng Xiyue had "betrayed" her.
She was both anxious and embarrassed, and quickly and modestly waved her hand, saying, "Master Zhang, don't listen to Uncle Leng's nonsense."
The moves I used were just random, unorthodox movements; they had no structure whatsoever.
Seeing this, Leng Xiyue deliberately teased her: "Oh, little Yundan, why are you suddenly so modest today? I've never seen you like this before!"
Yun Dan pretended to be angry, pouted, and huffed, "Hmph... I won't fall for your tricks. Don't make me look bad in front of Master Zhang!"
