In this old French manor, Tang Zichen's real subordinates are all girls.
All of them are wearing camouflage military uniforms, with their hair tied up, with guns and daggers on their hands, and almost all of them have good faces, first-class figures, each with their own style and personality, their eyes are resolute, and their movements are agile and agile.
This is like the highly sophisticated talents of female agents and spies specially cultivated by various countries.
Tang Zichen at this time, although five years have passed, his body and appearance have not changed much from when he first saw Wang Chao in the small park. He is like a fairy in a dream, mysterious and powerful.
And her face has never aged. The wind and frost of the years, bit by bit, did not leave any traces and vicissitudes on her face and body.
"The weapons research talents of the Israel Military Industries Corporation are really outstanding. Our newly established weapons research institute and military transformation laboratory are still far from others."
Tang Zichen stood up, fiddled with a few Desert Eagle pistols on the table, picked them up to look at them, played with them a few times, and finally threw them on the table.
The Desert Eagle pistol is the most famous firearm developed by Israel Military Industries. Known as a pocket artillery, it has great power, high precision, and strong penetrating power. Holding it in your hand is no less than holding a micro punch. It's just that this kind of firearm has many disadvantages. It has a large recoil force, and when the shell is ejected violently, it often misses the enemy and is injured by the shell instead. Those who are not masters of firearms and who have been specially trained cannot master this kind of firearms at all.
But Tang Zichen saw that this batch of newly improved weapons basically improved all the defects. I just sighed that there are really many high-tech talents in other military industrial companies.
"Go and tell them that the recent operations are temporarily cancelled. I will give you a one-month vacation. Next month, I will arrange for you to go to the mainland to do something."
After thinking about it, Tang Zichen ordered a few words to a girl under his hand.
"Sister Chen, we want to go to the mainland to do business? But we never accepted some missions in the interior of the mainland before." A girl with almond eyes and peach cheeks asked again.
"It's not a task, it's an errand. Go get ready." Tang Zichen walked out of the house and walked slowly through the western-style garden building to the hall of the manor.
In the middle of the hall of the manor stood a middle-aged man with a sword in his hand. This middle-aged man seemed to be between forty-five and fifty years old. He stood with his back to the door of the hall. When he heard footsteps, he turned around. come.
This middle-aged man had a jet-black beard that was neither long nor short on his chin. Eyebrows are like swords, straight and slanted upwards, without any forked hairs, dark and thick, coupled with a slightly high nose bridge, eagle-like piercing eyes, natural and delicate facial features, smooth skin, let people look at it Naturally, a majesty was born in my heart. It's like the ancient Confucian general who sat in a marching tent and commanded thousands of troops.
The so-called Confucian generals are those who are gentle and elegant in appearance and profound in knowledge, but who march in battle and gather troops on the battlefield, but can win thousands of miles, calm the world, settle the affairs of the king, have both civil and military skills, and govern the country and the country.
For example, Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms, and Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty are all in this category.
This middle-aged man with the sword also has such a temperament. That is when one has cultivated to a certain level and has experienced countless winds and rains and countless major events, a temperament can be naturally formed.
"Long time no see, Zichen." The middle-aged man turned around, and when he saw Tang Zichen, his sword-like eyebrows raised slightly, adding to his charm.
"Lin Tingfeng, what are you looking for me for?" Tang Zichen waved his hand slightly as a signal, and then sat down on the sofa in the hall.
"Last month, I received a letter from North American Shanming brother, which mentioned your younger brother." Lin Tingfeng seemed to be familiar with Tang Zichen before, and he didn't say polite words, but went straight to the point.
"He said, your brother's martial arts has reached the peak, and he can't even please his Baguazhang. And these days, I have also inquired about your brother's martial arts competition in Hong Kong, and he was born to tear Muay Thai yoga with the shape of the fist. Grandmaster Ruan Hongxiu, known as the 'Immortal Man', even Master Zhu Hongzhi from the Hongmen of the United States, who watched the contest with his own eyes, admired it very much, and called it a friend of Wangnian."
Tang Zichen said lightly: "I know all about these things. You didn't come here today to tell me about these things, right?"
"Of course." Lin Tingfeng said: "I am in China, and I have a successor named Jiang Hai. Last fall, I had a competition with your brother. I passed down the Wudang Nine Palaces School 'Turtle Snake' to his ancestor Li Jinglin. The sword was taken away by your younger brother. You also know the rules of our Jiugong sect, the sword is with the person, and the sword is dead with the person. What's more, it is something handed down by the ancestor?"
"Then you came today to ask me to get back? It's good that my younger brother took your apprentice's sword, but in practice, it's because your apprentice is not good at learning." Tang Zichen glanced at Lin Tingfeng, with a smile that was not a smile.
"Hey! Zichen, we are old acquaintances. Although you have faded out of the Hongmen to run other businesses these years, you are still from the Hongmen." Lin Tingfeng paused, "If you are my younger brother The apprentice's ordinary sword is fine, but the tortoise and snake sword is a symbol of our Jiugong sect, and it was taken away, which made me lose a lot of reputation."
No one knew about Wang Chao's seizure of Jiang Hai's sword, and he didn't spread it. Jiang Hai himself would not say it, but he gave Huo Ling'er the sword during the martial arts competition in Hong Kong. He went out and let Zhu Hongzhi see it. As a result, the news spread.
Although the turtle-snake sword is not a treasure that cuts iron like mud and kills people in the air in some novels, it is not a magic weapon, but it has too much symbolic meaning. , It is a kind of great inheritance spirit and glory. It can be said to be the symbol of the Jiugong School, which is equal to the national flag. The ancient Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
This was taken away and spread, which is a very serious blow to the reputation of a sect.
"Zichen, I came here today to find you in private. I heard that you taught your younger brother's martial arts. Although you are sisters and brothers, you are actually masters and apprentices. And your martial arts, although you don't often show it, spread it It’s not big, but those of us Hongmen old people still know it in our hearts. I’m here today, and you want to have a private fight with you and learn your skills. If I win a little bit by luck, I hope you can teach your brother, how Return the sword to the Jiugong faction."
Lin Tingfeng finally expressed his reason for coming.
He is the elder of Famen and Hongmen. He has opened a special martial arts gym and a swordsmanship hall, and has brought out countless outstanding disciples. Even many schools of kendo in Japan have almost been seized by him in the French market.
The name of Nine Palace Sword Lin Tingfeng has a good reputation in the Chinese martial arts circle, and even in the European martial arts circle. Being robbed of all the swords of the Zhenmen Sect, this matter has to be done later. So he came to the door to challenge and restore his reputation.
However, this time he did not choose to send a letter publicly, summoning the famous elders of Hongmen to challenge Tang Zichen for a martial arts competition, but chose to negotiate in private, which was after careful consideration.
This is mainly a private communication, and there is a lot of room for maneuver.
It's not that Lin Tingfeng didn't think about looking for Wang Chao, but Wang Chao is far away in the mainland and has close ties with the military, so he might get shot if he rushed to him.
"Oh, that's why you came to me today? Do you want to compete with me?" Tang Zichen looked at Lin Tingfeng and didn't get up, but a smile appeared on his face: "But swords are ruthless, and you With a sword in hand, your skill is ten times higher. But since you want to try it out, how about we join hands?"
Lin Tingfeng said: "My whole body's kung fu is all on the sword. We are all veterans, so there is no reason to abandon the strong and use the short after a few words. I am a sword school, so I naturally use the sword. Besides, you can also use weapons."
"Then what if I use guns?" Tang Zichen said quietly.
"That's fine too. I won't be wronged if I can die under your Tang Zichen's guns. My death is an honor." Lin Tingfeng laughed loudly.
"Today you came to negotiate with me in private, and I know your difficulties. I compete with masters and never use weapons, and today is no exception. Your Jiugong Sword School has thirty-six turtle-shaped sword styles, seventy-two Snake-shaped sword pose. Combine one hundred and eight roads. In this way, I will take you one hundred and eight road sword poses. If you haven’t hurt me or stabbed me after you use it, then you lose ?” Tang Zichen stood up slowly.
Lin Tingfeng's expression didn't fluctuate when he heard this, as if he would never get angry: "You want to empty your hands, but Zichen yourself said so."
"Of course." Just after Tang Zichen's words came out, there was a flash of cold light, sword energy scattered everywhere, and a deep cold air swept the hall. The temperature in the entire hall seemed to have an illusion of dropping.
Lin Tingfeng's sword was out of its sheath.
He is indeed a typical old Jianghu, and he will not trade off his strengths for the sake of a few words. As for the second stage of Taekwondo, Li Zhehan, a Korean boy who practices meteor hammer, is a typical tenderness.
That's why Huo Ling'er called him a fool after using the ultimate move of "magpie kicking a branch" until he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Lin Tingfeng's posture for holding the sword is a classic Yang grip, with his left hand pinched into sword fingers. The tip of the sword is inclined at a forty-five-degree angle, making it look like he is attacking with his whole body, he can attach his whole body to the sword at will, and walk along with the sword to strike in the air.
"Zichen, I'll do it first."
Lin Tingfeng's sword-like eyebrows twitched here, and the tip of the sword pointed at Tang Zichen. After saying hello first, he bowed his body like an old ape in the mountains, leaped forward, and hit Tang Zichen's throat with the tip of the sword.
This style is an ancient sword technique, and it is the most classic move in all schools of sword techniques. It is called "the ape man hits the Yue girl".
There are two major techniques in swordsmanship, one is to strike, and the other is to stab. The two seem to be the same in appearance, but the effect of force is completely opposite. Only a real master can distinguish the mystery.
Lin Tingfeng's first move, even this move, still has a beautiful meaning, which means that Tang Zichen is compared to the famous swordsman Yuenu during the Warring States Period.
Ape Gong's light and vigorous attack was performed vividly by Lin Tingfeng! If there are bystanders, they will definitely see that the sword of the head of the Nine Palaces School just passed it, and the point hits Tang Zichen in front of him, as if there is no distance between the ground and no distance at all.
Lin Tingfeng's sword seemed to have a spirituality, and his whole body became as light as a feather, completely attached to the sword, moving with the sword's force.
It was as if it was his sword that moved, not his men.
There is a formula in swordsmanship called: "The immortal makes the sword like a dragon". It means that when the fairy sword uses the sword, it is like driving a dragon. People ride on the dragon and fly all over the sky. It is the dragon that flies, not the person.
Lin Tingfeng has obviously reached this level, and he can be called the Immortal of the Sword.
However, Tang Zichen didn't seem to be afraid of Jian Kuai either. As soon as he kicked his footsteps, his body seemed to be hidden in an instant, and disappeared in a flash. When the sword strike was instantly retracted, her body popped out again.
This is the most typical kung fu body technique, called "Hiding in the Kick". After receiving the force of a Kick, you bend your knees and shrink your body, dodge and move, and the person falls to the ground. It's like people are hiding.
Tang Zichen's martial arts has reached the highest state described by the senior masters, "the way of sincerity can be known in advance." The speed of movement is fast enough to deceive people's visual senses.
Lin Tingfeng missed a hit, and with a movement of his wrist, the sword naturally rotated, and with the movement of "lifting the step and turning over and cutting", he slashed out like pushing a boat with the current.
He has a sword in his hand, and he doesn't have to worry about anything when he competes with unarmed people. No matter what, human flesh and blood cannot compete with sharp weapons.
If a Lianjiazi uses a sword against someone who doesn't know how to use a sword, he can snatch the blade with his bare hands, but for a master swordsman, it is completely different. For a skilled swordsman, the sword is like his own arm, extremely flexible. For a master swordsman like Lin Tingfeng, the sword has been practiced as if it is spiritual, like a dragon, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.
Although Wang Chao's kung fu was much better than Jiang Hai's, he didn't dare to let Jiang Hai's sword out of its sheath if he really matched up.
However, Tang Zichen seemed to have broken this principle. When Lin Tingfeng slashed at him, he suddenly stretched out his arm lightly, his five fingers like hooks, and grabbed it with his fingers abruptly, grabbing towards the sword.
Lin Tingfeng's eyes jumped, and he felt that Tang Zichen was almost crazy. The moment his fingers caught the edge of the sword, his hand holding the sword shook lightly. Immediately, the sword body spun like a top, and the blade was like an electric drill.
The poisonous dragon drill of this snake-shaped sword technique is extremely fierce. Lin Tingfeng usually practices swords, and when he stabs out with a sword, the force of the blade's rotation can penetrate a steel plate up to three centimeters thick.
When the snake-shaped poisonous dragon drills under the drill, sparks from the steel plate are scattered, and iron filings are flying, just like a lathe drill bit. No matter how strong human flesh and blood is, it is impossible to contend.
However, when Tang Zichen touched the blade with a grasp, it suddenly melted into a palm, like a butterfly passing a flower, and wrapped around the blade like a tongue. Lin Tingfeng drilled and slashed, and the sword fell to her The palm of the hand seemed to touch the soft cloud, without any force.
Lin Tingfeng withdrew his sword fiercely, and slashed again!
However, when the sword was retracted a little, there was a sudden crash!
collapse! However, the blade of the sword suddenly cracked and fell to the ground, forming two sections.
It turned out that Lin Tingfeng's sword had been destroyed by Tang Zichen's hand just now when the swordsmen intersected!
As soon as the sword was destroyed, Lin Tingfeng stood on the spot blankly. After a long time, he finally regained his composure. His face was ashen. "Baguazhang palm is bull tongue, practiced to the highest level, has the ability to roll gold and break iron. I have seen it today. Your palm technique is nothing more than Mr. Dong's rebirth. As for the turtle and snake sword, I will call my apprentice in the future to ask your brother to come back in an open and honest manner."
As he spoke, Lin Tingfeng threw the hilt of his sword on the ground, turned around and left. Don't look back.
Tang Zichen was expressionless.
The sword and palm just now, which can tell the winner, seems simple, but it is actually a display of the highest level of martial arts.
Tang Zichen's Baguazhang has reached the highest level.
The biggest difference between Baguazhang and Tai Chi in terms of form and meaning, and the most unique feature is that it is exquisite, and the palm movement is like a cow's tongue. This seems to be something unique, no martial art or sect pays such attention to it.
Why do you want to palm the ox tongue? Because the predecessors and sages, in the process of seeing a cow eating thatch once in a while, comprehended the highest principles of martial arts.
The thatch, piece by piece, has jagged edges and is extremely sharp. If people don't pay attention when they touch it, they will be cut with blood. But cows are not afraid, and their favorite food is this kind of grass. When you encounter this kind of grass, you move your mouth close together, roll your tongue, and then chew and eat large pieces of grass. And the tongue is never cut.
Thatched grass is like a sword, and the palm is trained like a cow's tongue. After the kung fu is refined, the palm is swept, and the dark energy is bursting. Holding the sword with empty hands, grabbing the sword body hard, is like eating thatched grass with the tongue of a cow. The grass is broken but the tongue is not hurt.
However, Dong Haichuan has been the only one who has practiced Baguazhang to this level throughout the ages, not even Cheng Tinghua.
Wang Chao's kung fu is strong, but he has not reached such a state of palming.
