"Woman, surnamed Tang!" Hearing Chen Aiyang's words, Wang Chao suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion, which was like a landslide, tsunami, or volcanic eruption.
"What's your name?" He broke away and asked hurriedly, his voice trembling slightly, completely losing his usual tone.
"What?" Obviously feeling that Wang Chao was restless, Chen Aiyang gave him a strange look. For a boxing master like Wang Chao, he would not change his expression in front of the collapse of Mount Tai, and his kung fu of nourishing Qi and calming his mind is first-class, but for He was so surprised by this matter that he couldn't help being surprised.
"Um... uh... nothing. Do you know her name?" Wang Chao calmed down and regained his original expression.
Chen Aiyang shook her head, "During the competition, she only said her surname was Tang. She didn't say her name. Afterwards, I couldn't find out the details of this woman, as if she appeared out of thin air, but the world is so big, There are really countless masters, hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"How old is she?" Wang Chao asked.
"It looks like she's only twenty-five or six, but her martial arts has reached perfection, reaching the realm of emptiness, and her skin and appearance can't be seen at all, but I estimate that she is already over thirty." Chen Aiyang recalled.
"What does she look like?" Wang Chao asked again.
"I can't describe it, but I have a video of the martial arts contest with her that day, just watch it! Her martial arts has really reached its peak, and I don't know how she practiced it. She kept her hand that day, otherwise , I may have been beaten to death." Chen Aiyang still had lingering fears, shaking his head again and again, as if he didn't believe that the contest was real.
"You still have video recordings! Why didn't you say it earlier." Wang Chao was annoyed.
As soon as Chen Aiyang said that the woman who was competing with him was surnamed Tang, a person immediately appeared in Wang Chao's mind, and that was Tang Zichen who had been away from him for three years.
That was Tang Zichen who changed her fate.
Tang Zichen's martial arts has reached the peak where the water can't reach the knees, far above Chen Aiyang. She was already twenty-eight years old when "Guoshu Shilu" was written, and now four or five years have passed, and Chen Aiyang feels that she is about thirty years old, which is also in line with her age.
The sensitivity of masters is very strong, and their intuition is also strong, especially Chen Aiyang, a master of energy transformation.
According to various signs, the woman surnamed Tang who competed with Chen Aiyang was Tang Zichen. But Wang Chao was still apprehensive. Still not sure. And Chen Aiyang only knew that her surname was Tang.
"Brother Wang, what's the matter with you today? Are you restless?" Chen Aiyang frowned.
Wang Chao smiled, trying to calm down his mind. "Let's watch the video of your martial arts competition first."
Chen Aiyang picked up the phone and talked about it. After a while, someone sent a video. The image was put into the wall of the large LCD TV, and suddenly, the whole screen flickered, showing the scene of fighting in the lobby of the headquarters below.
A figure of a purple-clothed woman who haunted Wang Chao's soul appeared on the screen. Every shot, every word, and every movement was so vivid that it was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of Wang Chao's heart thousands of times, forever. indelible.
Looking at this scene, Wang Chao seemed to have forgotten everything, and recalled the scene of learning from Tang Zichen by the Tianxing Lake three years ago. Every scene, every picture, flashed clearly in his mind.
Walking in the water tank by himself, hitting sandbags, his whole body was slightly swollen, it was Tang Zichen who carefully rubbed the medicine every time, and used acupuncture to disperse the congestion.
Shaking the big gun by myself made my arm sore every time, and it was Tang Zichen who helped me knead and relax my muscles and bones.
Every punch frame of hers was corrected and corrected by her. Every practice formula is explained in detail.
During those two years, Tang Zichen almost took care of himself for food, clothing, and housing.
In Wang Chao's relationship, Tang Zichen loves his weak little brother like a biological big sister. Such feelings, after seeing the familiar figure on the screen, all erupted in Wang Chao's heart.
"Your younger brother has grown up now, do you know that? But your younger brother has not yet reached your height, and cannot pass on your boxing skills." Wang Chao muttered in a voice that only he could hear He muttered to himself, with joy and sadness on his face.
His thoughts finally stayed until that evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the entire Tianxing Lake.
Swinging the oars, the boat floated gently to the middle of the water.
Tang Zichen stepped on the water and drifted away.
At that moment, Wang Chao thought he would never see her again. At that moment, in Wang Chao's heart, his own sister was the fairy in the sky who did not eat the fireworks of the world, and came down to enlighten him.
That day, that familiar, crisp, and pure child's voice lingered in Wang Chao's heart forever.
"Let's paddle together,
The boat pushes the waves,
The water surface reflects the beautiful white pagoda, surrounded by green trees and red walls, and the boat floats gently in the water.
Blowing head on, cool wind..."
The child's singing is so clear and cheerful, without any dust.
Things in the world. How wonderful it would be if they were all as bright, pure and innocent as a child's singing.
At the moment before Tang Zichen left, Wang Chao's heart was like that of a child.
"We are all mere mortals. No matter how advanced our boxing skills are or how exquisite our techniques are, we still have to be involved in this rolling world of mortals. Maybe, what you mean is to leave a legacy, so that martial arts can be passed down slowly and steadily. You have repeatedly I said that we are not people in the same world, so I don’t want me to set foot in that world, and live in peace for the rest of my life. However, I have gradually stepped into your world now. In this world, there are no children who are happy, Ming Jie, Carefree singing. I may have failed your expectations."
The bright and pure singing of children, the fairy shadow of Tang Zichen, the intrigue of the world of mortals, bloody killings, money, power, and temptation. They were all mixed together, filling Wang Chao's mind.
Wang Chao's mood fluctuated one after another, and his thoughts fell into a deep state.
Such a deep artistic conception is very strange, as if, he can see and hear things clearly in the outside world, but. His heart, however, seems to have escaped into the void, completely detached from this world.
In the world of mortals, the heart is already outside the sky.
"Master Chen, her martial arts are indeed extremely powerful. Her internal organs, muscles and bones have already burst into thunder sounds naturally. The unity of heaven and man, and the transcendence of the gods to the realm of emptiness, you are indeed no match for him." Wang Chao's expression was completely calm. When he came down, he seemed to understand something important in the flash of lightning just now.
"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. Sister Chen, you are right. We warriors are not immortals after all. Even if our hearts can transcend the world of mortals, this body is still rolling in the world of mortals. Now it seems that even you can't exception."
"It's not as if we forget each other in the rivers and lakes. With my current status, it may not be a good thing to find you and meet you. What's more, although my current boxing skills are small, they are far from yours. high."
Wang Chao sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart.
For a moment, he thought for himself and Tang Zichen, and finally made a decision.
It's not as if we forget each other in the rivers and lakes.
Until this moment today, Tang Zichen is no longer an unattainable dream in Wang Chao's heart, but also a member of the living world.
Warriors are not immortals, their minds can be detached, but their bodies cannot be detached.
After Wang Chao calmed down, even Chen Aiyang couldn't see any fluctuations.
Chen Aiyang turned off the screen: "In this world, there will always be masters. The masters of the year, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Li Luoneng, Sun Lutang, have all disappeared into the dust of history and become only for future generations to pay tribute to. A hundred years have passed. In the past hundred years, although boxing masters have emerged in endlessly, they have never been as high as the masters of the past. With the rise and fall of a hundred years, I think that in boxing, there should also be masters who have reached the realm of Taoism. In the future, there will be more It may be you, it may be me, it may be someone else, who can explain clearly? The world rises and falls, so does boxing.”
"What you said, but it's all far away. Let's not talk about it." Wang Chao slowly collected his mood, "I came this time because I heard that you were injured and met outsiders again. I’m here to challenge, so I’m here to help you with the next round. I wonder how your injury is doing?”
"It doesn't matter if I'm injured. It's just that the meridians three feet in front of my chest were injured. After a month of recuperation, it will slowly recover. I'm really sorry that you came to help me this time." Chen Aiyang looked very melancholy, obviously because he failed in the martial arts competition Well, the open and secret fighting in the family has already broken his mind.
"You don't need to say these words. Our boxing practitioners all pay attention to promises. I believe that you will help me in whatever happens to me in the future." Wang Chao said: "However, the person who challenged you this time is Zhang Guangming. Do you know the details and routines of Cheng Shanming, a boxing master in Canada and North America?"
"In the 1980s, Zhang Guangming used to learn the essence of Bajiquan from Northeast Baji master Huo Qingyun. He didn't leave until Huo Qingyun passed away in 1987. He went to Vietnam to develop and become famous. That time I competed with him, in fact, I It is also a fluke to win, in terms of real kung fu, he is not inferior to me."
Chen Aiyang recalled, "That martial arts competition was also the most thrilling in my life. The victory in that battle gave me a lot of money and fame. Zhang Guangming is not only good at Bajiquan, but also a master of Bagua Palm himself. His younger brother, whom I only heard once from Zhu Hongzhi, is the direct successor of the Cheng Pai gossip. Cheng Shanming's grandpa is the old man Cheng Tinghua."
"Bajiquan was taught by Li Shuwen to Huo Diange, and Huo Qingyun from Huo Diange. Huo Qingyun didn't pass away until 1987. When he was in Huo Diange, he helped Cheng Yougong, Cheng Tinghua's nephew. The two factions supported each other, so Huo Qingyun's lineage There is Baguazhang in Bajiquan."
Wang Chao nodded, "In the old martial arts, it is a good story to support each other. Mr. Sun Lutang also supported Hao Weizhen, and finally got some secrets of his Taijiquan. It's just Cheng Shanming, how is his own kung fu?"
"Although his kung fu is not refined, it has reached the peak of dark energy. It was three or four years ago, and I heard it from Mr. Zhu Hongzhi by chance. I don't know if his kung fu has improved or regressed now. Anyway, this In the first battle, you and I are not sure."
Chen Aiyang said: "The Huaxing meeting came down the day before yesterday and asked me to compete in seven days. Now there are only five days left."
"It's my dream to be able to fight against such a master." Wang Chao laughed instead.
Chen Aiyang looked at Wang Chao, as if he had made a lot of determination, and suddenly said: "Master Wang, you have a broad mind and the demeanor of a master. If you can sacrifice your life for me, an insignificant friend, I can't do it again." What to keep. Do you know that although I am famous in the martial arts world for Taijiquan, my most powerful killing move is not Taijiquan."
"Huh!?" Wang Chao looked at Chen Aiyang.
"My killer move is a combined strike called 'Pegasus Stepping on Swallow'."
"Pegasus stepping on swallows!" Wang Chao was taken aback for a moment.
"This is an ancient boxing method. The killer move on the battlefield has been handed down on the battlefield since the Han Dynasty. Later, after secret transmission and countless generations of boxers perfected and explored, this killer move was formed. Its foundation is also in Xingyiquan. The shape of a horse, and the shape of a swallow." Chen Aiyang said.
"In fact, most of boxing has evolved from animals. Xingyi is also Bagua, Bagua is also Taiji, Taiji is also Xingyi, Wing Chun is also Baji, Baji is also Hongquan, and they all have similarities." Wang Chaodao.
"You're right." Chen Aiyang said: "I just saw that you are playing the horse-shaped cannon, and you have reached the state of endless life. As long as you are proficient in the swallow-shaped, with your boxing attainments, you can immediately fly this style. Ma Tayan' has been trained to the point where he has both spirit and form, and if he performs it in a martial arts competition, he has a great chance of winning!"
