"... Kung Fu is craftsmanship, unique skills... There was no such thing as martial arts before. There are many shabby villages, mountains and forests are far away, and there are many bandits. There is a person in the east of the village who can do tricks. I do know a little bit. For example, I don’t know where the hand-training method was handed down, or the leg-training method. After practicing one method for twenty years, it can break a tree with one kick. Except for this kick, I can’t do anything…”
"... I met such a person when I was young. It was in... A little south of Xiangyang, a man surnamed Hu, who said that he could kill a tiger with one foot. It is a family practice method. His right foot is strong. Here is our calf. The worst thing is that he has trained half a circle thicker than the average person. Ordinary people can't stand it, but as long as he avoids that kick, he will fall down with a push... This is a unique skill... Really good martial arts training is mainly about walking and fighting. , Most of the things that can be done are like this..."
In the hall of the side yard of the inn, a martial arts elder named Lu Liutong had a cup of tea in front of him.
"...Look, I still remember Liu Dabiao back then. He had a full beard and looked old, but in fact he was still a hairy young man. At that time, the fish was already showing signs of entering the house. He fought with the old man, and on the sixteenth move, he raised his knife and slashed diagonally... Hey, from the top of the slash, the old man used a mang ox plow at his feet. On the ground, with the white ape offering fruit in his hand, he went in facing the blade and grabbed his hand..."
"... At that time, the slash of your tyrannical sword, the posture of the hand was very simple. After that time, there were two more changes to this move. This is the advantage of walking more and hitting more, and there is a weakness. , did you know how to become stronger... You tyrants still have this cut now..."
With a smile on his face, the old man asked the crowd with a knife in his hand. Watermelon, Du Sha and others exchanged glances, smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are indeed."
Lu Liutong smiled with satisfaction: "The martial arts family has a complete set of unique skills handed down, which takes advantage of the accumulation. The Liu family knife is in the Miaojiang area, just like my Lu family is in Jiayu, there is a foundation, but the foundation It doesn't mean that you can really produce talents. To say that Da Biao's martial arts skills at the time were actually determined during that trip, and only after that did he get the name of the Ba Dao. In addition, the Qingxi Fang family has been passed down for several generations. Originally there were some small forces, but they were not well-known, and when they came to the generation of De Fang La, the family was at a loss, and he took advantage of it..."
"... Qingxi was rich in those days, but the court's distribution of birthdays was also huge. The Fang family's generation has produced a few capable people. How did Fang La, Fang Baihua, and Fang Qifo come out? There are too many family members, so they forced them out. Yes, Fang La entered Manichaeism, thinking that he had found a way, but what is Manichaeism? Back then, the Fang family still had Fang Xun and Fang Zheng, who were famous and famous, that is, they died during the firefight."
"Fang La came out and became a saint. Fang Baihua, although she was a woman, I heard that she died several times. Why is Fang Qifo called Yunlong Jiuxian? He is proficient in all eight kinds of martial arts, and every time he shoots at other people's weaknesses, others say that he is thoughtful and invisible. His current name... sigh, in fact, he later achieved the highest achievement, if he hadn't been delayed in the army, he would have no problem running..."
"... The Fang family originally wanted to make a name for themselves in Qingxi, and they accidentally reached the level of the leader. He Yunsheng, the leader of the Mani leader at the time, heard that he had something to do with several high-ranking officials in the court. Yes, he is also a great master of fists and feet. The old man has seen him for two years, but unfortunately he has never fought with him... Under He Yunsheng, the saintess Sikong Nan Qinggong and claw skills are very good, and the left and right guardians are also first-class masters, who knows That year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Fang La and others invited a large group of people, including your father, to challenge He Yunsheng directly at the main altar of Manichaeism..."
"...No one would have thought that he would win, but after that battle, he will be a saint."
The old man is self-reliant on his seniority, and when he talks about these things, he speaks in a straightforward manner, and occasionally adds a sentence or two of "I have met twice with xx" and "I have had two strokes with xx". looks like. Watermelon, Du Sha and others more or less know the difference in some details. If they saw it on weekdays, they probably wouldn't be in the mood to listen to them all the time, but now that Ning Yi has come over to join in the fun, he just let it go with a smile on his face. The old man played.
"... Back then in Manichaeism, the reason why Sheng Gong and He Yunsheng were able to fight to the end was mainly because your father, Da Biao, was standing by the side. With him, Fang Baihua, and Fang Qifo, he could be considered a head-on pressing against Sikong Nanna. Helping people, after all, the tyrant Liu Dabiao has good swordsmanship, and is notoriously unambiguous when facing the enemy... Unfortunately, it was because of this competition that Fang La took He Yunsheng's seat, and the rest fled away. Fang La didn't want to listen to the arrangements of several big clans in the north, so there was the disaster of Yongle... And it was also because your father's reputation was too prominent, everyone knew that you Ba Dao Zhuang formed an alliance with Shenggong, and it was only later. The one the court has to deal with first..."
This Lu Liutong has been able to stay in the Jiayu area for so long, and he can still play the old card of Jianghu even after the age of the year. Obviously, he also has some skills of his own. With all kinds of rumors, he was able to bring Yongle into trouble. It is quite wise to concatenate and roughly outline the contours.
Although Manichaeism is a people's organization that takes the bottom line, it can be inextricably linked with the big clans in various places, and it is unknown how many people reach out to them. The generation that was in power of Sikongnan and Lin Yechan was used to being a puppet, and the scale of development was also large, but the power was always scattered.
After Fang La killed He Yunsheng and drove away Sikongnan and others, he cleaned up the entire Jiangnan church site, and finally twisted the entire Manichaeism into a single rope, and only relying on the influence of Manichaeism, only Li Tianrun, Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, and Zu Shi Yuan and others joined in one after another. From this point of view, the Manichaeism in the era of He Yunsheng and Sikongnan was nothing but a grass-roots group of gangsters, and the Manichaeism after being purged by Fang La was enough to slap a hundred "former Manichaeans" head-on.
But such a situation is obviously not in the interests of the big clans in various places, and they began to really suppress Manichaeism from all aspects. Then the conflict between the two sides intensified, and finally the change of Yongle appeared. Of course, after the end of the Yongle Incident, Lin Yechan, Sikongnan, and others who came out again took over Manichaeism again, which brought it back to the state of scattered sand in the past. Although Lin Yechan himself once raised some political ideals, after the Jin Ren and even Lou Shuwan and other weak women have been crushed several times, now it seems that he has clearly recognized the status quo and is unwilling to toss any more.
Ning Yi could naturally figure out these situations by relying on Zhuji's intelligence network and a large number of people from the Green Forest, but it was still interesting that such an old man who told an anecdote could spell out the outline like this. If it wasn't for the fact that he could not speak, he would just want to ask the other party about Cui Xiaolu's whereabouts - Du Sha and others have never really seen this person, maybe they are just ignorant.
After that Lu Liutong commented on Fang La and Liu Dabiao, he then started talking about Zhou Tong: "... Zhou Tong was in the Yuquan Gym for more than ten years. Although he is said to be invincible now, I see if he could have this name back then. No., it is still debatable. However, he is also very good, why, because besides teaching students, he goes around everywhere, and fights everywhere... Hey, that's what I said, he played well, mainly because of much more move around…”
"... In the early years... When Jing Hanchao was still alive, the last person to become famous was Lin Zongwu, who was the guardian of the Mani religion at the beginning, but no one thought that he would be able to practice to that level later. … Not to mention friends and enemies, when I was in Jiayu, the old man had a few tricks with him. This man has deep internal strength, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the world. He later fought against Jin in Jin, which is actually a contribution to the state. , you are going to do big things now, you can have the tolerance to take the world, this time the world's No. 1 martial arts competition, you can invite him to come... Of course, this is your internal affairs, the old man just mentioned it like this... "
"If he wants to come, of course we are also welcome." Watermelon smiled.
"This kind of mind has the momentum of Da Biao back then." Lu Liutong praised with satisfaction.
The old man took a sip of tea, and after a while, he said, "...In fact, martial arts must be refined, and the main thing is to move. The Central Plains has changed for more than ten years. Speaking of which, people from the north have moved south, and the people are not living well, but in fact, it is also forced. In the more than ten years of integrating and communicating with the North and South, you are either in the northwest or in the southwest, and you have not participated much in the Jiangnan Green Forest, but from what this old man sees, there are still some people who are in this troubled world. Among them, there are some famous ones…”
"...For example, back in Lin'an, there was a man named Nie Jincheng, who was highly skilled in martial arts and had a deep background. He was nicknamed 'The Man's Man'. The old man had discussed some tricks with him, and we talked for an afternoon. Unfortunately, when Lin'an broke the city, this People should have sacrificed in resistance and could not escape. Alas, this person is a rare hero... He has a man named Chen Guizhi, whose name sounds like a woman, but this person is very tall and powerful. Infinity, I heard that this time I came to Chengdu…”
"... In addition, there is a middleman nicknamed the honest monk in the land of Xiangchu. He is quick in news, has a good hand and eyes, and is friendly with various families. Although he doesn't do much, this old man knows that this is a ruthless person..."
Ning Yi reached out and touched his nose...
Although the old man is unknown in Jiayu, the news seems to be well-informed. At this time, cooking wine and talking about heroes, he introduced a lot of heroes who have appeared in recent years, and then gradually entered the topic.
He came to Chengdu this time, and brought his second son Lu Xiaolun and several disciples under his command. Make friends with everyone in martial arts, and learn from each other. This time, he brought the other party over, because he felt that he was ready to join the army this time, to see if he could find a position in the Huaxia Army. In the opinion of the old man, it was best to find a title such as the head of the forbidden army to start.
In the past, in Bianliang and other places, people who practiced martial arts were awarded the title of coach of the 800,000 forbidden army, which was considered a good background, but for the Lu family who already knew Xigua, Du Sha and others, the position of military coach was such a position. , of course it can only be regarded as a start.
"... The Huaxia Army is constantly training in the mountains in the west, and it is admirable in the battle formation. If you compare the army formation, there is no merit in the Wu Dynasty in the east. The unique skill of borrowing appeared. Xiao Lun has traveled in the south of the Yangtze River for these years, met various famous masters, has extensive knowledge, and has been an instructor in the army. According to the old man, he is already competent, so I let him come over to see it, the old man is also because After caring about an old friend, while your body is still strong, come here for a walk and take a look... Xiao Lun also has a few unique skills, which can be practiced now, haha..."
That Lu Xiaolun was in his fifties, and his stature seemed to be quite strong. The old father did not interrupt when he spoke, and only stood up and saluted to everyone at this time. The rest of his apprentices and brothers then took out various performance equipment, such as large pieces of buffalo bones, blue bricks, wooden figurines and other objects.
The buffalo bone was big and hard, and it was packed in a cloth bag. Several disciples took it out and placed a piece in front of each of them. Now Ning Yi is well-informed and knows that this is a prop for performing "Yellow Clay Hands": Mud hands are a kind of martial arts in the green forest. When practicing, sticky yellow mud is used as a prop, and slowly grabbed onto the hands little by little, from a small lump of yellow mud to five fingers. A mass of mud as big as a leather ball actually exercises the strength and accuracy of the five fingers, hence the name of the yellow mud hand.
In addition to the practice of grasping the yellow mud, what the practitioner of this martial art has to do every day is to twist all kinds of bones with his bare hands, and finally face the enemy. The bones of the limbs were directly broken. The hardness of this buffalo bone is far better than that of ordinary people, and performing with it shows the strength of the performer.
Ning Yi stood behind Watermelon and Du Sha, looking at Du Sha holding a bone in front of him, his lips gradually raised, and he didn't know what to touch.
The two in front of him were masters at the master level, and even though their backs were facing him, how could he not know his reaction. Watermelon frowned and gave him a slight glance, and then looked at Du Sha suspiciously, Du Sha sighed, reached out and tapped a bone - he only had one hand - Watermelon then understood and put his hand to his mouth Side couldn't help laughing.
Then Luo Bingren couldn't help laughing.
Over there, Lu Xiaolun rubbed his hands together, grabbed a bone and twisted it.
Watermelon grabbed the bone and twisted it with both hands, and Luo Bingren also twisted it with both hands, and it really continued. Then both of them looked at Du Sha.
Du Sha sighed...
********************
After that, there were several rounds of performances outside. Then Lu Xiaolun punched on the wooden pile, and then demonstrated several rounds of unique skills such as eagle claws, split tendons and wrong bones. It's just that everyone in the Huaxia Army now sees blood. Unless Lu Xiaolun is a murderer in the Jiangnan area, if he enters the army, it can only be regarded as a sparrow entering an eagle's nest. The addition of the bloody smell on the battlefield to the martial arts cannot be compensated by the posture.
After the war in Xia Village that year, Tong Guan and others sent a Wu Zhuang Yuan into the Wu Rui Camp to take over the military affairs. Wu Zhuangyuan wanted to show his prestige in the army. He picked veterans in the ring and said it was a competition, but life and death was a knife. The Wu Zhuangyuan named Luo Shengzhou was seriously injured and was carried out.
For those veterans on the battlefield, many times they may not be able to defeat the martial arts masters, but as long as they can break the defense, they always have the same sword.
The same is true of the veterans of Xia Village, not to mention the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who have killed all over the world in the past ten years. More than ten years ago, soldiers like Mao Yishan would hide behind the battle formation and tremble. More than ten years later, they were able to grab the battle-hardened Jurchen head-on and smash them to death on a rock. When the ferocity comes out, few people can compete head-on.
Watermelon, Du Sha and others looked at each other, and then began to state the regulations of the Huaxia Army. Now they have only won the first major all-out war. The Huaxia Army has serious military discipline, and there are no shortcuts or shortcuts in the procedures of many things. Yes, the Lu family's brother is highly skilled, and the Huaxia Army is naturally eager to join the brother, but there will still be certain procedures and steps.
These words are not fake. The Huaxia Army opens the door to welcome the world's elite, and it will not push anyone out. Although the Lu family wants to take shortcuts, it is not without merit. It is natural for the Huaxia Army to hope that he will join. But if you can't obey this procedure, the art industry can't digest it no matter how high the Huaxia Army is, not to mention the danger of promoting him as a coach by exception - it's no different from sending him to death - of course, it's hard to say this directly.
Hearing Xigua, Du Sha and others say these words, the old man happily agreed and praised the strictness of the Huaxia Army's military regulations. Afterwards, he said that since the Huaxia Army has a plan to recruit people, his son and several disciples will naturally act according to the rules, and several of them also plan to participate in this competition held in the southwest, and everything can wait until then. Discuss again.
Afterwards, there were various scenes, and they entertained each other.
After another round of chatting about the past, the two sides roughly resolved the embarrassment, and then Xigua and the others said goodbye and left.
After the people here left, Lu Xiaolun and the others who returned to the courtyard immediately turned gloomy: "Dad, you look down on us."
"You haven't beaten the Jurchen yet. People look down on you, and of course you have nothing to say." Lu Liutong returned to the table, took a sip of tea, and suppressed his gloomy face as much as possible, showing a calm and indifferent demeanor." Since Huaxia Army has done something, it is human nature to have such arrogance. Xiao Lun, what you want to get, the most important thing is what you can do..."
Then Lu Xiaolun thought for a while: "My son will work hard and get a good name in the competition."
"The vision is too low." Lu Liutong held the teacup, and said leisurely, his eyes looked up in the air, and he was so silent for a long time, "... I'm preparing a post. These days, the old man has brought you, and I have arrived in Chengdu at this time. Martial arts comrades, see each other, sit down and talk about martial arts."
The old man's eyes turned to the few people in the room, his lips parted, and after a while, he said word by word: "In the old man's hands, Liu Dabiao changed the two tricks of the tyrant sword, and today's tyrant sword, these two tricks are still the same. Now, only the old man knows its flaws. Liu Dabiao's most powerful decision back then was to pass on the Ba Dao to the entire Zhuangzi. In these years, the Huaxia Army can have such a large scale, and the help of the Ba Dao must be indispensable... Xiao Lun Ah, you have to look at your strengths as a person. You have a rank, of course, it is useful, but in the final analysis, it is not you who came to support the Huaxia Army... You have to be valued as a person. Going to cheer, the old man will have to discuss with the heroes of the world, this tyrant sword... is a little flawed."
Lu Xiaolun and several juniors looked at each other, and then they all said, "Father is wise."
"Master is wise."
"Master has no plans..."
"Black Flag will regret what happened today..."
"Hahahaha..." Amidst the compliments from everyone, the old man stroked his beard and laughed cadencedly.
****************
At the same time, the brigade left the street.
Ning Yi and Watermelon rode a carriage to the secluded part of the city.
"It's good now, I've offended people..."
"The old man's martial arts senior, young and old, beware that he will call Master Lin over and smash your platform..."
