Chapter 83: The Wandering Daoist

The poem says:

It happened a few years ago,

In front of the Hakusu Michigan coming to the museum.

Show the Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist,

Frightened gossip heads.

The girl, Huang Ying, told the old monk Wuhai about the origin of the Taiji Eight Beast Boxing.

It turned out that one day a few years ago, an old Taoist leader came to the martial arts gate of the Bagua Gate. The old Taoist stood in front of the door of the martial arts hall and shouted into the gatehouse at the entrance of the martial arts hall: "Excuse me, I don't know which hero is on duty?"

The voice of the old Taoist chief shouting was not very high, but the shouting voice had a strong penetrating power, and it shook the window of the gatehouse slightly.

At this moment, the one who was guarding the gatehouse in the martial arts hall was an apprentice of Huang Tianxiang, whose name was Cai Xiaoli.

Cai Xiaoli heard someone shouting outside the door of the martial arts hall, and it was a little special to hear the shouting voice. Cai Xiaoli didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly came to the door of the martial arts hall to watch, but saw that there was an old Taoist standing in front of the door, and he saw that the old Taoist chief's hair and beard were white, that was really called the three winter snow, the nine autumn frosts of the beard, just looking at the old Taoist chief's whitened beard, Cai Xiaoli knew that the old Taoist was not young. However, Cai Xiaoli found that the old Taoist was actually in good spirits and had an extraordinary bearing.

Cai Xiaoli didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly hugged his fist at the old Taoist leader, and said: "Cai Xiaoli, today, the concierge is on duty." But I don't know, what does the old Taoist call me for?"

The old Taoist looked at Cai Xiaoli and said, "Poor Dao is a wandering Taoist, and I was fortunate to pass by in front of the Guiwu Pavilion today. Poor Dao suddenly had a whim, and wanted to meet your chief head Huang Tianxiang Huang for a while. If Master Huang, your chief gatekeeper, has some free time, please go in and say hello. If your chief doorman is too busy right now, forget it. "The old Taoist said very politely.

When Cai Xiaoli heard this, he hurriedly hugged his fists again and said, "Our chief gate master once instructed that anyone who comes to visit our martial arts hall is our friends and guests. Just ask the old Taoist to wait here for a while, and I'll go in and pay homage. ”

After Cai Xiaoli finished speaking, he turned around and entered the martial arts hall. Cai Xiaoli came to the back hall to see Huang Tianxiang, the head of the gate, and reported to Huang Tianxiang, the head of the gate, that an old Taoist chief came to the door of the martial arts hall to ask to see the head of the gate.

Huang Tianxiang heard this, and hurriedly took Cai Xiaoli to the door of the martial arts hall. Huang Tianxiang looked at it, and sure enough, he saw an old Taoist with a white beard standing in front of the door, looking at the age of the old Taoist leader, he could be a hundred years old, but that old Taoist was a fairy wind and bones. Huang Tianxiang had already seen that the old Taoist standing in front of him was a martial arts senior. Huang Tianxiang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave a deep salute to the old Taoist chief, and said: "Under Huang Tianxiang, I don't know that the immortal chief is coming, and if you miss the distance, please also invite the immortal chief Haihan." - Immortal Chief, please come inside, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it inside!"

The old Taoist was not polite, and followed Huang Tianxiang into the martial arts hall.

Huang Tianxiang let the old Taoist into the living room, and then asked the old Taoist to take a seat. Huang Tianxiang hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring fragrant tea, as well as various snacks and seasonal fruits to the old Taoist. Huang Tianxiang himself sat on the side to accompany him.

The old Taoist chief was not polite, and when he saw that someone brought fragrant tea and snacks, he took a cup of fragrant tea and drank it, and then the old Taoist chief ate two more dim sums.

The old Taoist finished drinking and eating, and then said to Huang Tianxiang: "Master Huang, thank you for your hospitality, the recklessness of the poor Dao is disturbed." ”

Huang Tianxiang looked at the old Taoist elder and said, "Immortal Chief, you don't have to be polite, it is my honor to be able to come to my martial arts hall." - So, may I ask the Immortal Chief, you came to my martial arts hall, I don't know what advice you have?"

The old Taoist said: "Master Huang, I really don't dare to give advice. - Poor Dao came to your martial arts hall to find you today, but I just wanted to learn martial arts from Master Huang. ”

Huang Tianxiang listened to it and said, "But I don't know, what sect and sect the immortal chief is, and what is the name of the immortal?"

The old Taoist elder said: "The poor Taoist monk is in the Qingfeng view of Wumeng Heavenly Wolf Mountain. The view of the clear wind practiced by the poor road was built in the depths of the mountains of Wumeng Heavenly Wolf Mountain. It can be said that the Qingfeng view of my meditation is not inhabited within a radius of 100 miles. Therefore, the poor road is in the company of beasts all day long. After a long time, Poor Dao created a kind of boxing technique based on the fighting movements of various fierce beasts. ”

Huang Tianxiang is a martial arts person who loves martial arts, he listened to the old Taoist elder and created a kind of boxing technique, and his heart moved. Huang Tianxiang looked at the old Taoist elder and asked eagerly: "Immortal Chief, but I don't know, what kind of boxing technique you have created?"

The old Taoist chief didn't hide it, he looked at Huang Tianxiang and said: "Poor Dao, according to the Taoist Yin and Yang Four Phases and Five Elements Bagua, combined with the fighting movements of the eight fierce beasts, I created a set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Boxing. ”

"Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist?!" Huang Tianxiang looked at the old Taoist leader and asked in surprise.

"Yes. The old Taoist continued, "The poor Dao has recently come out of the mountains, traveling all over the world and stepping on the five lakes, just to meet the martial arts heroes of the world for a while, and learn martial arts from the martial arts heroes of the world, and see how the skills of this set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Boxing I created are good." Counting on his fingers, it has been more than a month since he traveled out of the mountains. However, it is a pity that Poor Dao has not yet met a true martial arts hero who can be recognized by Poor Dao. Poor Dao is sighing, but I didn't expect to set foot on the boundary of Meicheng today, but I heard someone say that there is a great boxer here, that is Master Huang. I heard that Master Huang covered Jiangnan with a pair of iron palms. I also heard that Master Huang is not only excellent in martial arts, but also has a very good character. Therefore, Poor Dao came to your martial arts hall and wanted to learn martial arts with you. I want to use my Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist to meet your Baguazhang for a while. - Master Huang, if you are interested, let's learn together. If you are not interested, then forget it, the poor road will never be difficult for others. ”

Huang Tianxiang listened, hugged his fist at the old Taoist, and said: "Immortal Chief, it is something that the younger generation cannot ask for to learn martial arts with the Immortal Chief. What's more, fortunately met a master, how could Huang miss it. ”

After hearing this, the old Taoist elder said eagerly: "Master Huang, since you say so, then we will compete now." ”

Huang Tianxiang said: "Immortal Chief, I have already ordered someone to prepare a vegetarian meal for you. In a moment, you eat fast, and then we will try again. ”

The old Taoist looked at Huang Tianxiang, and still said eagerly: "Master Huang, I don't need to eat fasting." Just now, I have already drunk fragrant tea and eaten snacks. Now, I'm neither thirsty nor hungry, and I'm in the right place to compete with you. - Master Huang, you now, if it is convenient, then we had better compete now, after the competition, Poor Dao will leave here immediately, Poor Dao does not want to be here, and disturbs Master Huang more. ”

Huang Tianxiang heard this and said, "Immortal Chief, since you say so, then please come with me." ”

Huang Tianxiang said that, and took the old Taoist to the backyard of the martial arts hall.

In the backyard of this martial arts hall, there is a large open space. This open space is where Huang Tianxiang practiced his own exercises.

In the front yard of this martial arts hall, there is also a large open space, which is where Huang Tianxiang's apprentices practice.

Huang Tianxiang pointed to the open space where he practiced and said to the old Taoist: "Immortal Chief, this is the place where I practice on weekdays. It's very clean here, and there is no harassment from idle people. Immortal Chief, let's compete here, what do you think?"

The old Taoist chief looked at the venue, nodded approvingly, and said, "Okay, this place is spacious and secluded, which is exactly what I want." ”

So, Huang Tianxiang and the old Taoist chief were in the open space in the backyard of the martial arts hall, and they each lit up the door together.

In the beginning, both of them attacked tentatively, and both were spying on each other's skills, so the two of them were slow to fight. After ten moves, the moves of the two began to speed up.

The moves of the Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist used by the old Taoist are very strange, and I saw that the figure of the old Taoist suddenly looked like a tiger descending the mountain, suddenly like a dragon out of the water, suddenly like a strange python turning over, and suddenly it seemed like an eagle striking the sky, don't look at the old Taoist is more than a hundred years old, but the old Taoist fights up the body is very agile, the old Taoist jumps up more than eight feet high, and there is no sound when he falls down, and the two palms are stretched out like a fierce beast probing the claws are extremely fierce......

There is a way for an expert to stretch out his hand, and you will know if there is one. As soon as Huang Tianxiang fought with the old Taoist, he only fought a dozen times, and was startled by the Taiji Eight Beast Fist used by the old Taoist. Huang Tianxiang secretly exclaimed in his heart: "Okay, what a Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist!

At this time, Huang Tianxiang had also realized that the old Taoist in front of him was a top martial arts master. Huang Tianxiang felt that it was very difficult to fight with the old Taoist. Huang Tianxiang had to use the ten-layer skills of Baguazhang, and even used Baguazhang's tricks to fight with the old Taoist. Although Huang Tianxiang exerted the power of Baguazhang to the extreme, he still failed to take the slightest opportunity to fight with the old Taoist.

Before the two of them knew it, they had been fighting for a hundred rounds.

After a hundred rounds, the old Taoist became more and more courageous, and he didn't see that the old Taoist was tired. And Huang Tianxiang is more and more difficult to fight, and even only has the ability to parry. Huang Tianxiang secretly shouted in his heart: "Cough, I, Huang Tianxiang, am known as the iron palm covering Jiangnan in the rivers and lakes." It can be said that I have never met an opponent in the Jiangnan area. Unexpectedly, I was going to lose today under the hands of a very old Taoist leader. This is really the only strong player in the strong, and there are capable people behind the capable people. The set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Fists used by the old Taoist chief is much more magical than the set of Baguazhang I used. ”

After the two of them had fought for one hundred and fifty rounds, Huang Tianxiang suddenly retracted his move and took two steps back, and then, Huang Tianxiang "pounced" and knelt down in front of the old Taoist.

The old Taoist leader hurriedly stopped his moves, looked at Huang Tianxiang and said, "Master Huang, what do you mean by this?"

Huang Tianxiang looked at the old Taoist chief and said, "Immortal Chief, there are two reasons why I knelt down for you. This, in fact, I also know that the immortal chief has always been affectionate to me in the fight, with the martial arts of the younger generation, he is not the opponent of the immortal chief at all, therefore, I admire the martial arts of the immortal chief, is to admire the five bodies to the ground, this is the first reason for me to kneel to you?——; I want to worship the immortal chief as a teacher, learn from the immortal chief this set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist you created, and hope that the immortal chief can open the immortal grace and accept the younger generation as an apprentice. ”

The old Taoist stood there, contemplating his eyebrows and thinking for a while, then he looked at Huang Tianxiang and said, "Master Huang, I can teach you this set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Fists." However, you have to remember that in the future, if someone asks who taught you this boxing technique, you must not say that I taught it to you. Master Huang, as long as you can do this, then I will promise to teach you this set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Fists. ”

Huang Tianxiang listened, looked at the old Dao Elder, and said: "Immortal Chief, please relax greatly, in the future, the disciple will not only not mention your immortal name in front of others, but also will not easily reveal this Tai Chi Eight Beast Fist in front of others." ”

The old Taoist elder listened, looked at Huang Tianxiang, and said, "Master Huang, since you can say this, then I will promise to teach you this set of Tai Chi Eight Beast Fists." ”

After that, the old Taoist stayed in Huang Tianxiang's martial arts hall. It took the old Taoist for more than a month to teach the Taiji Eight Beast Fist to Huang Tianxiang.

The girl Huang Ying told the origin of the Taiji Eight Beast Boxing to the old monk Wuhai as it was.

After listening to this, the old monk Wuhai looked at the girl Huang Ying and said: "Miss Huang, after listening to the origin of the Taiji Eight Beast Boxing you told, the old monk I am really feasting my ears! The old monk I am already a hundred or dozens of years old, but I didn't expect to recognize a strange martial art Taiji Eight Beast Boxing today, what a blessing, what a blessing!" The old monk Wuhai thought for a while, and then asked: "Miss Huang, did you just say that the immortal name of the old Taoist is called Qingfeng Dao Chief?"

The girl Huang Ying replied, "Yes." ”

The old monk Wuhai thought for a while, and then asked, "Miss Huang, then, let me ask again, how old can that old Taoist be yet?"

The girl Huang Ying thought for a while and replied, "Listen to my father, that old Taoist elder seems to be a hundred or dozens old. It should be said that the age of that old Taoist elder is somewhat similar to that of the senior monk. ”

The old monk Wuhai listened to this, and then asked, "Miss Huang, you mean, that Qingfeng Dao Leader is about the same age as me?"

"Yes. The girl Huang Ying responded.

After the old monk Wuhai heard this, a strange expression passed over his face......
