Chapter 9 Old Man Ke
When I came to this tile house, I saw a row of tiled houses made of about 20 meters of green bricks in the east, west and north directions.
It can be seen that each row of tiled houses is divided into three rooms, consisting of a hall house and two side wings, the ridge is at an angle of 45 degrees, and the tiles are dark green after being exposed to the sun and rain, and it seems that there are some years.
There is an open space in the middle of the three rows of tile houses, and a few delicate flower beds are planted with some seasonal flowers and plants, at this time the flowers are blooming, and more than ten bushes of green bamboo at the corner of the house echo each other, complement each other, it can be seen that the owner in the middle of it has taken some effort to take care of, which makes people feel happy when they see it.
There were two people standing in the clearing, one of whom looked to be about 60 years old.
The old man was not tall, with a white face and no beard, his hair was about half a foot long, black and shiny, he pulled a bun on the top of his head, and was wearing a navy blue practice uniform.
As his arms swung up and down, and his body rose and fell back and forth, the black ball rolled back and forth on the old man's arms, shoulders, chest, and back, as if glued to his body.
Carefully observed, the trajectory of the black ball seems to follow a fixed route, repeatedly, repeatedly, the old man stepped on a wonderful step, wandering in a small stride between square inches, and the speed of the black ball rolling on his body was also fast and slow.
The other person, Qin Feng, knew that it was Li Xiong, who had a two-sided relationship, he stood at the base of the wall, his straight body standing still, and his eyes were staring at the black ball rolling on the old man's body.
The old man should be Li Xiong's elder, and it looks like he is exercising, a bit like the game of freestyle basketball, but it feels like there are some subtleties.
Qin Feng stopped and stood quietly aside, without making a sound to disturb, drumming in his heart, who is this old man Li Xiong?
How could the Gu family have such a strange building?
After watching for about two minutes, the black ball rolled faster and faster, and at this moment, when the black ball rolled to the old man's right forearm close to his wrist, the old man's waist suddenly sank, his eyes widened, and a light sound came out of his mouth.
I saw the black ball flying out of the old man's hand and heading straight for the direction where Li Xiong was standing.
Seeing this, Li Xiong's left leg quickly took half a step back, his lower body formed a bow-shape, with his chest in his hand, and his hands were placed near his lower abdomen to catch the flying black ball.
As soon as the black ball was in his hand, Li Xiong's body sank down significantly, and he took advantage of the situation as before the old man, so that the black ball began to roll on his body, but the movements did not look as mellow as the old man, and there was a heavy wheezing sound in his mouth and nose.
Qin Feng can see some ways now.
Li Xiong's strength has been experienced by himself, he is so laborious, it seems that this old man is stronger, it is definitely not simple, and the weight of the black ball is far from being as light as it seems, but I don't know what material it is made of.
But in a minute or so, Li Xiong's forehead was already oozing sweat, flowing down the sides of his cheeks, and his wheezing sound was getting thicker and thicker, and he couldn't hold on anymore.
With a bang, the ball slipped off Li Xiong's body and smashed on the ground, directly smashing the ground into it.
It seems that this black ball weighs at least 50 pounds.
The old man turned his head to look at Qin Feng and asked with a smile, "You are the young man who fought with Ah Xiong yesterday, right?"
This has been looking at Qin Feng and found that the old man's eyes were like electricity, so that he instantly had a feeling of being seen through, and the old man seemed to be standing very relaxed, five or six meters away from him, but this kept looking at the opening, and an invisible pressure came to his face, making Qin Feng have a feeling of standing facing the mountain, as if he was incomparably small.
"That's the kid!"
Qin Fengqiang couldn't help but take half a step back, the invisible pressure made him can't help but concentrate on confrontation, which made him feel better, but his eyes never dodged the other party's gaze.
"Good, young man!"
The old man continued: "I heard that you are very skilled, and you will accompany me, an old man, through two moves?"
Although it was a soliciting tone, it gave Qin Feng the feeling that it could not be refused.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Qin Feng now understood that he had met a master, could it be that he wanted to instruct himself in a few moves, and suddenly saw that Hunting was happy, he took two steps forward, stabbed his feet on his horse, clenched his fists, and was ready to attack at any time.
After watching the old man juggle the black ball just now, Qin Feng knew very well that the old man must be higher than Li Xiong's skills, so he couldn't treat him as an ordinary old man at all, and after the distance was shortened, this feeling in his heart was even stronger.
As a junior, Qin Feng clenched his fists with both hands, and then punched out his chest.
This fist is upright, there is a name called "lunge punch", it is a relatively simple move in military boxing, but because it is simple, it is not difficult, and it is easier to master, and the speed of going straight is also fast, which belongs to a move to defeat the enemy.
The old man didn't dodge or dodge, Qin Feng said in his heart, the other party was so supportive, although he was surprised in his heart, he was ready to unload half of his strength at any time, but he found that when the fist just touched the old man's shirt, the old man's shoulders shook back, and at the same time, his chest was sunken inward, and the distance was just right, Qin Feng's fist stopped in mid-air, and there was still a fist away from the old man.
At this time, Qin Feng's strength had been completely played, but it had hit an empty place, and he couldn't do it even if he went any further, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Qin Feng hurriedly raised his legs and swept through the thousands of troops, but the old man still did not move his upper body, but drew a semicircle backwards with one leg, and Qin Feng's leg rubbed the hem of the old man's shirt again.
Kick it out!
Next, Qin Feng was fists and feet, attacking up and down for more than a dozen moves, and the old man moved in a small range at most, so that Qin Feng's attacks all fell into the air.
The picture is very weird, if you block the old man's body, you will find that Qin Feng seems to be fighting against the air, and he is doing his best.
At this moment, when Qin Feng's punch hit the old man's chest again, the old man suddenly raised a hand, and his fingertips seemed to slide lightly over Qin Feng's elbow, but Qin Feng's feeling was different, his arm was like an electric shock, his muscles trembled at high speed, and then, his arm lost control and hung softly to his side.
The old man smiled: "Yes, yes, your kung fu should be a combination of some Xingyi boxing moves in the military body fist of the Chinese army, right?"
After hearing this, Qin Feng admired it even more in his heart, not only because his proud skills were not worth mentioning in front of the other party, but also because he was impressed by the other party's eyesight.
Detachment leader Zhou Shilong learned Xingyi Boxing when he was a teenager, because he favored Qin Feng, and also took the time to guide him for a while, and later, Qin Feng kneaded the two together in training, the simple and direct combination of military body boxing and the ferocity and viciousness of Xingyi Boxing, but it was still seen through by the old man at a glance.
"The old man's skills are admirable, the kid is embarrassed, I don't know what moves the predecessors used?"
Qin Feng has been interested in martial arts since he was a child, and when he saw that he met a master, he naturally admired it very much.
But the other party only made one move, no, maybe it could only be called a half-move, and he couldn't tell what the move was at all, which made Qin Feng's curiosity soar, and he was tormented like a cat's claw scratching his heart, and he couldn't help but ask.
The old man smiled: "Hehe, hehe, if you don't dislike it, just have breakfast at my place, let's talk slowly!"
"Senior, then bother!"
Qin Feng also felt that what he said just now was a bit abrupt, so he didn't ask any further.
Because people who practice martial arts pay the most attention to inheritance, what 'pass on men but not women, pass on women but not sons-in-law', that's what it means.
What I said just now has made a big taboo, this is also what I heard Xiao Chen Ping's father say when I was a child, he is the successor of authentic Taijiquan, and he still knows a lot about these things in the rivers and lakes.
However, to Qin Feng's surprise, the old man not only did not get angry, but also invited Qin Feng to drink tea under a pergola overgrown with vines in the courtyard.
Under the pergola is a small square table, the workmanship is very fine, the shape is simple and generous, there is not a single metal fitting above and below the whole small table, all the joints are made of mortise and tenon technology, this skill is now almost lost, only a few old carpenters can master.
The wood is Huanghuali from the South Seas, this precious wood is now very rare, the price is more expensive than gold, if it is placed in the hands of some collectors, it must be carefully treasured.
But in Gu's house, it was placed outdoors so casually, and there were still traces of daily use on it, and it seemed that he didn't care much about it.
There was a large pottery teapot and several pottery bowls on the table, and the old man poured a bowl of tea for Qin Feng, Qin Feng was not polite, he held it with both hands and drank it all.
The old man and Qin Feng had a very happy conversation, some feelings of familiarity at first sight, and also asked Qin Feng some questions, Qin Feng did not hide the slightest thing, and there was no unhappiness in his heart, because the old man brought him an indescribable sense of intimacy.
During the conversation, the old man also briefly introduced himself, which could startle Qin Feng
The old man's name is Ke Yao, 87 years old this year, born in the war-torn era at the beginning of the last century, his ancestral home is Hedong, Huaguo, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, because he loves to fight and is unfair, he assassinated a local brutal warlord and was wanted, and later, he fled overseas, and had to become a pirate, and in a ship robbery, he met Gu Bing's grandfather.
The two are of the same age and have similar tempers, Mr. Gu relied on smuggling when he started his business, and often traveled frequently by sea, and the two became friends back and forth.
Moreover, in that era of lack of food and clothing, Old Man Gu would bring some food to Old Ke every time he took this sea route.
The two cherished each other, so they became brothers, and Old Man Gu was two years older as brothers.
After the situation stabilized, Ke Lao defected to Gu Lao and came to Nanguo Island, and played a pivotal role in the development of the Gu family with his kung fu, which made many enemies fearful and cleared the obstacles on the way to the development of the Gu family.
Gu Lao has not continued since the death of his wife 30 years ago, after handing over the Gu family's business to his son 20 years ago, the two old men lived in seclusion in this small courtyard.
At this time, the meal was ready, Li Xiong brought out the dishes and laid them out, and a tall old man came out of the wing of the north house.
The silver hair on the old man's head was already a little thin, his face was thin, his face was slightly yellow, and he was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were still very sharp, and for no reason there was a kind of superior's momentum.
This is Ke Yao's eldest brother, the head of the Gu family, Gu Yunsheng.
The breakfast was very rich, but Gu Yunsheng only drank some white porridge, Ke Yao, Qin Feng, and Li Xiong were not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and the consumption of martial arts practitioners was too large, and the amount of food was also a standard to measure.
