After the game, Liu Yixuan came to the master Ye Xiaotian's house at five o'clock the next day, in Ye Xiaotian's backyard Liu Yixuan began to practice according to last week's training, and practiced until eight o'clock The housekeeper Ye Mo came over to call Liu Yixuan for breakfast, Ye Mo was an orphan adopted by the master Ye Xiaotian, so he followed Ye Xiaotian's surname Ye, Liu Yixuan called him Uncle Mo, and when he heard Ye Mo call himself to eat breakfast, Liu Yixuan stopped, wiped his sweat with a towel and asked, has the master eaten, the master is waiting for you to go over and dine together, Liu Yixuan nodded and went to breakfast.

After breakfast, Ye Xiaotian sat on a chair and asked Liu Yixuan, do you know Bajiquan? Liu Yixuan shook his head, Ye Xiaotian didn't care, now there are a few young people who know Bajiquan, but still said: It doesn't matter if you don't know before, but now that you are my disciple, you have to know what Bajiquan is, I will introduce you to Bajiquan first, you listen, if you don't understand something, you ask me.

Bajiquan is one of the types of boxing, and the full name is "Open Door Bajiquan". Those who call it "open the door" take the meaning of using the six opening methods (six major openings) as the core of the technique and breaking the opponent's portal (defensive shelf). Those who call the "eight poles" have the saying that "there are eight yin outside Kyushu, there are eight Hong outside the eight Yin, and there are eight poles outside the eight Hong", which means "eight directions of extreme luck".

Bajiquan has been passed down to the present day with its unique style of strength, simplicity and rapid action, and in the early years, it was called "Bazi Boxing", "Baji Boxing", "Baji Boxing", "Eight Skill Boxing", "Eight Poles of Open Door", "Open Boxing" and so on. However, in modern times, according to the characteristics of its strength that can reach far away in all directions, it is named after the word "eight poles".

Liu Yixuan could still understand these and nodded, Ye Xiaotian continued to say that Bajiquan was created by a wandering Taoist priest named "Leprosy" in the Qing Dynasty.

"Leprosy" is the first, Ding Faxiang is the second, and Wu Zhong is the third. Wu Zhong has no children, has a daughter in middle age, is famous, and is nearly 30 years old for Xi Wu, married to Haifeng Xi Changquan Dai.

Bajiquan is divided into two branches: one is the Wu family and its protégés. In modern times, there are Wu Nan and Wu Shike. His close relative Ma Fengtu has a great influence and has a wide range of descendants. The other is Wang Si learned the art of Meng Lin, passed on Luo Ka Zhang Keming, Zhang passed on his sons Zhang Jingxing, Huang Sihai and so on. Zhang Jingxing has many descendants, among which the most influential ones are Li Shuwen, Ma Yingtu, Han Huachen, Zhang Yuheng, etc.
