"France's Hongmen is very powerful. My old friend boxer is the heir of the authentic Jiugongjian of the Wudang school. Their school of swordsmanship emphasizes that a sword is in the presence of a person, and the sword is dead. Taking his sword is equivalent to smashing the signboard. Face to face Slap in the face, this beam knot is a bit big. It's hard to resolve. His swordsmanship has a wide inheritance and many disciples. Jiang Hai has good aptitude, and he has won the mantle of Jiugong Sword. It's a pity that Junhua's aptitude is also It's similar to that Jiang Hai, but because of the many affairs, I can't practice boxing to a high level."

Zhu Hongzhi looked at the sword in Huo Linger's hand, stretched out his hand to take it, pulled it out with a swipe, stroked the cloud-patterned sword, and checked it carefully, and saw two bird patterns on the sword.

"Brother Liao's martial arts are superb. When I first debuted, I tried my hands with him. His mind and world are in perfect harmony, which has benefited me a lot. However, his status and status are destined to prevent him from concentrating on boxing. There is no way to do that." The matter." Wang Chao looked at the two words on the sword, and brought the topic to the beam of the sword: "Now that the beam has been knotted, there is no way. , although the age is shallow, but I have never been afraid of any challenges and contests."

Wang Chao told Zhu Hongzhi the situation when Jiang Hai came to him for a martial arts competition that day, "What is the origin of this sword? I don't know the characters on the sword, so I don't know what this sword is called. Master Zhu has rich experience, I would like to ask for advice." one time."

"It turned out to be like that. Jiang Hai is not good at learning skills. No wonder others." Zhu Hongzhi listened carefully to the process of Jiang Hai and Wang Chao's martial arts competition, nodded, and then explained: "This sword is the representative inheritance of martial arts Jiugong swordsmanship. Back then, the Central Guoshu Museum Chief Li Jinglin found a skilled craftsman for the "Wudang Gate" and specially forged it. The characters on the sword are not Xiaozhuan or Dazhuan, but bird-shaped characters, but I don't know the bird-shaped characters, but the name of this sword is " Turtle and Snake', the two characters above should be these two."

"Turtle snake..."

As soon as Wang Chao heard the name, he knew that it was very Wudang style. According to legend, the Taoist priests of Wudang practiced Qi on the mountain, observed turtles and snakes, and created pictographic boxing and swordsmanship by referring to the movements of the two animals. The ultimate move, even the Zhenwu Emperor enshrined in Wudang is a statue of a turtle and a snake.

Zhu Hongzhi shook his head, and the pure steel and red lacquered crutches clanged twice on the ground: "I have a hope. After all, we are all Chinese boxers, and it is better to untangle enemies than to tie them. If my old friend or his apprentice Come to save face, I hope you can be kind and don’t beat yourself to death. Your skill is tough, I hope you can keep it.”

Wang Chao smiled wryly: "For a swordsman, with a sword in his hand and bare hands, even if someone who is twice as skilled meets him, he may not be an opponent. The sword is with the person, and the sword is dead. This Liang Zijie I'm too old, I'm afraid that if I can keep my hand, the other party won't."

"The sword is with the people, and the sword is dead. That is the rule of the old society. Now it is the 21st century. Some rules say that this is the case, but it has not been practiced for a long time. I would like to say hello to this matter, and I hope it can be resolved." Reconcile." Zhu Hongzhi sighed, but Wang Chao fell into deep thought.

"I have a lot of grudges now. In the martial arts competition with Ruan Hongxiu, the Japanese don't talk about him, and the Indians, those drug lords and warlords in Thailand, Myanmar, and Vietnam also hate me. It makes me younger than the 'Little Martial God' Zhou Binglin There are even more enemies. Zhou Binglin was able to retire in time before the age of 30, and he has been stable for 20 years. I'm afraid I haven't had this blessing. That Jiang Hai, after losing a move, seems to have heard Han Xiaoqing and the others say that he went abroad to join some mercenaries , went to actual combat with guns and bullets on the battlefield. This man has good aptitude, and his martial arts at that time were not inferior to Duan Guochao. It's just that there were fewer actual combats, and he didn't have much experience in life-and-death combat. Defeated. If you survive the life-and-death test and improve your martial arts, that is inevitable. I have another strong enemy. Also, Zhang Tong’s swordsmanship was also learned in France. Is there any connection with Jianghai? Wudang's boxing and swordsmanship, the movement of turtles and snakes, I don't know what kind of artistic conception it is?"

For some reason, Wang Chao couldn’t calm down when Zhu Hongzhi said this. Zhou Binglin thought of himself, Jiang Hai thought of Hongmen in France, France thought of Zhang Tong’s swordsmanship, and Guishen thought of Wudang’s boxing and sword Law.

A teacher apprentice banquet passed quickly, and Huo Linger formally worshiped Wang Chao's disciples.

In this competition, although Wang Chao did not go through a hard fight and easily killed Ruan Hongxiu with an overwhelming advantage, his reputation was really established, and he became famous both at home and abroad.

At the same time, this martial arts competition has also earned a lot, especially Cao Yi and others, all of them are full of money. Wang Chao's status in the organization has improved a lot, he has been appointed many titles of instructor and political commissar, and there is also a plan to hold training courses in the army after the Chinese New Year to train soldiers and special forces.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and it was the end of the year. Wang Chao returned from Hong Kong and did not go back to Laoshan. Instead, he went directly to his home in H City, S Province, to celebrate the New Year.

Wang Chao was relieved that everything was fine with his parents.

When Wang Chao was at home celebrating the New Year, he always went to the park where he first met Tang Zichen every day. They also lived in Tang Zichen's villa for a while.

In the new year, there is still heavy snow, which is very happy. But walking in the snowy park, Wang Chao no longer has the mood he had in high school in five years.

However, in the days at home, walking around every day, thinking about everything, being plain, it is very comfortable. This made Wang Chao suddenly miss the ordinary life.

Cao Jingjing also came back from the winter vacation at Peking University, Zhang Tong is still the president of Chanel Cosmetics, Tianxing company is getting bigger and bigger, the college students who started the business together at the beginning are already successful entrepreneurs, all the changes seem to be developing for the better .

On this day, from the beginning of the morning, the sky was shrouded in dark red clouds, and then the cold wind was like arrows, and snowflakes as big as palms fell overwhelmingly, and the sky and the earth were covered with whiteness everywhere. Over the past few years, there has been a rare heavy snowfall.

Wang Chao stood alone on the second floor of Tang Zichen's villa. Through the huge and bright floor-to-ceiling glass, he looked at the Tianxing Lake completely covered by heavy snow in the distance, and listened to the snow falling quietly. national scene.

A fiery red sports car suddenly appeared in Wang Chao's sight. The car drove to the entrance of the villa and stopped. The door opened, and a few delicate flower umbrellas opened, and a few girls came out.

Wang Chao could clearly see that one of these girls was Zhang Tong, and then there were Huo Ling'er, Cao Jingjing, and that Han Xiaoqing.

"You are not at home for the New Year, why did you run out?" Wang Chao went downstairs, opened the door, and let the four girls in. Then he asked Huo Linger.

"I can't stay at home, so I came to see the master. I practiced hard these days what you taught, and it seems that something went wrong." Huo Ling'er's eyebrows seemed worried.

"Tsk tsk, the decoration of this house is very tasteful. The stone paved on the floor is..." Han Xiaoqing came to Wang Chao's villa for the first time. Ling'er respects the teacher so much, but Wang Chao can let her do it. Anyway, among the apprentices, it is impossible for all of them to have achievements, and there is always the nature of playing tricks.

But as soon as Han Xiaoqing came in, she saw the purple-gold pattern stone paved on the ground, rich and graceful, she was a high-class young lady, she recognized it after a while, this is a very rare and precious stone, produced in Africa. It was used in the Pharaoh's bedroom in ancient Egypt and the Arab king's bedroom in the Middle East.

There was a deep surprise in her eyes, and she couldn't hide it.

However, Wang Chao didn't understand the expensive and rare stone decoration, so he just asked Cao Jingjing and Zhang Tong to sit down, then looked at Huo Linger carefully, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"When I practice the exercises every day, I feel that the skin on my body is covered with a thick shell, which is very uncomfortable. The skin is thickened and hard, but when I touch it, it doesn't feel hard. It seems to be an illusion." Huo Ling The son expressed the confusion in his heart.

"Are you going to enter the dark energy? This is the performance of advancing by leaps and bounds." When Wang Chao heard this, his eyes were puzzled, and he touched his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe it. "Follow me."

Wang Chao walked in front, walked through the wide glass corridor, and led Huo Linger to the practice room at the back.

The practice room is still the same, the sky is full of huge sandbags, there is a water tank under it, next to it is a weapon rack, and a stone trough for placing lead and mercury balls, but the lead and mercury balls were taken by Wang Chao to the Laoshan Martial Arts Hall to practice, but did not bring back .

"Master, is this the place where you used to practice kung fu?" Huo Ling'er looked at this ancient practice room, her eyes shone with surprise. She felt like she was in the world of martial arts.

Not only her, Han Xiaoqing, Cao Jingjing also had the same emotion as him. Zhang Tong smiled, as if he had learned a lot.

"You try to punch with all your strength? Use all your strength!"

"En!" Huo Ling'er stood in the fist-splitting posture, raised her arms, stepped forward, and punched through the air from top to bottom with all her strength.

A sharp cry sounded, and Huo Linger seemed to have cut the air with a punch. Rapid movement of airflow.

After the punch was struck, her whole body was dripping with sweat in an instant, especially on her forehead, the heat was steaming, as if all the physical strength had been blown out by this punch.

"Sure enough, even the strength of the heart has been released. Just a little bit, a little bit of control over the fur, can really release the dark energy, and enter the palace of the mystery of boxing." Wang Chao was very happy in his heart.

When I took Huo Ling'er as my apprentice, I saw that the girl's family background was prominent, and her talent was indeed very good, and because I killed Ye Xuan, I followed him. Previously, Wang Chao taught her some basic but necessary postures. The original intention was to let her stand firmly on the bones, ligaments, and muscles of her body, so that she could practice difficult movements and some killer moves in the future.

According to Wang Chao's original plan, it will take at least a year before Huo Ling'er can officially come into contact with Anjin Xuanmiao. Unexpectedly, in just ten days, this girl made rapid progress, which was far beyond Wang Chao's expectation.

"You just did the energy, did you mix it with karate's energy? How many years have you been practicing karate? Did you combine what I taught with the boxing mentality of karate?"

When Wang Chao asked, the atmosphere in the air was suddenly tense, so dull that it was almost depressing. Cao Jingjing didn't expect that her old classmate became dignified, much more imposing than her father Cao Yi.

"Master... I, I, I." Huo Linger also panicked.

"Don't panic, I'm not blaming you." Wang Chao quickly eased his expression.

"I studied karate in Japan, and I also practiced kendo. There is mind-cultivation in it. Kendo refers to the Zen mind. Only when the mind is unobstructed can it burst into full potential in an instant and kill the enemy. After I practiced the master's posture, I feel that every day I am in good spirits and have plenty of strength. I can do some difficult moves in karate at once. And some dead muscles in my body seem to be flexible. I have practiced karate and kendo for three years, and I have practiced in the United States for two years. Japan practiced for a year."

"Good, good, good. What a pity, what a pity." Wang Chao applauded repeatedly after hearing this, and then said it was a pity, making people puzzled.

The good thing is that I have indeed picked a good apprentice. With Huo Linger's progress, within two years, another genius martial arts master will be born. It's a pity that this apprentice's family background can't really inherit his mantle, and he competes on his behalf in everything, fighting life and death, and he has to find another good apprentice.

"You are almost a master now. I will start to teach you formally now. As long as the new year is over, within a few months, it is not uncommon for you to catch up with Ye Xuan back then." Wang Chao said.

"I've only been practicing for three years, and I've only been with the master for a few months. Have I become a master?" Huo Linger exclaimed, "Don't masters have to practice hard for ten or twenty years?"

"As long as the method is correct and you can practice with concentration, you can become a master in one year. If you practice hard for three years and still have no results, it means that your aptitude is not good, or you can fish for three days and surf the net for two days. The golden time of life to learn things , just one ten years. If you really concentrate on practicing one thing, if you don’t reach the peak and be close to invincible in ten years, then it’s not that kind of material. Hopeless'? You have studied karate and kendo for three years. With the current results, it is considered slow. First, you have not received the true instruction. That's it, the rest is just to maintain it, and to improve it by chance and coincidence in the future. After all, when a person reaches twenty-five or six years, he must think about achieving his career in his heart, and he can no longer be single-minded. That kind of hard training for ten years is still martial arts It’s mediocrity. Only after twenty years of practice can one be considered a master. It’s all talk. The longer you practice, the better you become. , a little slack, and this is the end of life.”
