Chapter 14: Apprenticeship

Chinese martial arts have a long history, inherited for thousands of years, and in modern times, they are divided into inner boxing and outer boxing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, the inner boxing is headed by Tai Chi, Bagua, and Xingyi, and there are many schools of external boxing, such as boxing, taekwondo, Muay Thai, karate, judo, etc. Because of the unique power skills and special cultivation methods, the Chinese inner boxing system is unique to Chinese kung fu in the world of kung fu.

According to legend, the founder of Taijiquan is Zhang Sanfeng, the ancestor of Taoism, and Taijiquan pays attention to fast and slow, static braking, and softness to overcome rigidity, which is a collection of temperament, physical fitness, technical confrontation and other functions as a whole, is a kind of internal and external cultivation, soft, slow, light, rigid and soft traditional Chinese boxing. It is the first of the three major internal fists.

However, looking at its cultivation method, you can know that only people who are peaceful and have no distractions can learn something. Zheng Xiuyan asked herself if she was not such a person, she wanted to learn the kind of move that integrates attack and defense, is extremely powerful, and can see blood when she makes moves, so she can only give up Taijiquan.

And Baguazhang is also somewhat similar to Taijiquan, and you can only give up, so you can only choose Xingyiquan.

Legend has it that Xingyi Fist was created by Yue Fei in the army, no fancy moves, long strength is also the fastest, the two armies are fighting, thousands of troops and horses, it is not easy to have a place to flicker and move, only go straight forward, go and fight, fight and go, such as the Yellow River embankment. This is a boxing technique specially used to defeat the enemy, and it is exactly in line with Zheng Xiuyan's thoughts.

And after many inquiries in the past few days, the most powerful Xingyi boxing master in Beijing now lives in the Zhangjiakou area.

After her inquiry, the most famous Xingyi boxing master in Beijing is Zhang Zengji, who founded the Beijing Xingyi Boxing Association, and he is also the authentic descendant of Song's Xingyi Boxing.

She believes that there is no void under the fame, since he is now the most famous in Beijing Xingyi Fist, there must be two brushes, or he would have been pulled down by others long ago.

Hitchhiked to Zhang Zengji's doorstep, he was quite famous in this vicinity, and it was easy to find it.

Lifting her luggage, Zheng Xiuyan walked directly into this classical compound. There are more than 20 men wearing practice clothes doing various training nearby, seeing Zheng Xiuyan such a girl who looks 13 or 4 years old (Zheng Xiuyan looks like 13 or 4 years old on the outside) walked in but was puzzled and stopped looking, it seems that they just regard Zheng Xiuyan as a person who came to learn martial arts, although few girls came before, but it was not nothing, but they didn't last long.

Zheng Xiuyan just glanced at them roughly and stopped paying attention, she could see that these people were not in the flow, after all, this is the outer courtyard, and the real good hands should be inside.

Pushing open the inner door, I saw that there were more than a dozen people practicing boxing under the guidance of a middle-aged man wearing glasses and looking to be in his thirties.

Seeing them Zheng Xiuyan knew that these people should be elites, from them Zheng Xiuyan felt a strong breath, although there were strong and weak, but from the momentum they exuded, there was no weak hand, especially the man with glasses, she found that she couldn't see his depth at all.

“?” The sudden sound of pushing the door made them all stop and look at the door, seeing that it was a little girl they had never seen before, a man near the door wondered, "Little girl, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"May I ask if this is Mr. Zhang Zengji's home?" Zheng Xiuyan's cold voice remembered. This is not her intention, her voice will always give people a cold feeling for some reason, if there is no expression on her face, others will think that she is angry, these are innate, she also tried to change but it didn't work, so she just let it be. No wonder she was called the Iceberg Princess in her previous life.

"Yes, you are?" The man wondered again.

"That's right." Zheng Xiuyan put her luggage aside, respectfully bowed to Zhang Zengji in the middle, and said, "Hello teacher, I'm here to learn Xingyi Quan from you." When she first saw Zhang Zengji, she knew that this was a master, a master with real kung fu, and now she had no doubts in her heart.

"Learn boxing?" It's still that man, "If you want to learn boxing, then you should know the rules here, start with the peripheral disciples first, and when your strength can get started, you can only be taught by the master himself, but I still advise you to give up, you girls have fine skin and tender meat, you can't bear a little bitterness, don't cry and run home after two days." ”

"......" Zheng Xiuyan didn't look at the man, just looked at Zhang Zengji and a few men around him silently, she could feel that the strength of these people was good, as for the person who spoke just now, his strength was the worst in it, so she ignored it directly.

And she believes that Zhang Zengji can see that her skills are not weak.

Zhang Zengji was looking at her when she first entered the door, and from her walking posture and the momentum emanating from her body, it could be seen that she had some strength, at least stronger than many disciples here now. Now when he heard her say that he wanted to learn boxing from him, he immediately had an idea in his heart.

You must know that a woman's natural body is not as good as a man's, and learning boxing pays attention to gradual progress, this girl can reach this strength at this age with a woman's body, she is simply a peerless genius, and such a genius still wants to accept it. But now it remains to see how her heart is.

I saw Zhang Zengji asking, "Why do you want to learn boxing?" ”

It was not surprising for the nearby disciples to hear this question, because Zhang Zengji had also asked such a question when they were apprentices.

"......" This question, Zheng's father also asked him, and now her answer is still that." I want to be a strong person, I want to have the ability to protect myself, my family, and the things I cherish. I once heard a great man say that only when you have power can you have the capital to speak. I don't want my future self to regret my powerlessness. ”

"......" Zhang Zengji was also silent for a while, looking at her with a slightly strange look, this girl is very similar to me when I was a child.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll take you as an apprentice, let's start with the outer disciples." With a decision, Zhang Zengji was not hypocritical, and accepted her directly.

However, when she heard that Zhang Zengji wanted to start with the peripheral disciples, Zheng Xiuyan disagreed, she also saw it just now, the peripheral disciples were all like scumbags, and they could only do a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, and they were not much better than a few gangsters that day, how could she do it. She's here to learn real kung fu, not to kill time.

I saw Zheng Xiuyan stop Zhang Zengji and said, "Teacher, I don't know if I can be an inner disciple?" ”

Hearing Zheng Xiuyan's words, before Zhang Zengji could answer, some disciples couldn't help it, Nima, we all started as peripheral disciples, and it took a few years to be promoted to the inner disciple, what is the matter with you wanting to be an inner disciple when you first came. Is it so easy to be an inner disciple?

"Little girl, I think you should be an outer disciple."

"Yes, the inner disciple is very hard, can you stand it?"

"Brother, it took me three years to be promoted to the inner disciple, you just entered the door and wanted to be promoted, what should I do, brother."

"Let's talk about being an outer disciple for a few years, you are still young, and you will have a chance to be promoted to an inner disciple in the future."

………………

………………

For the sake of Zheng Xiuyan being a beautiful girl, and her age is not very old, they are not too vicious in their words, if it was an adult man who is here now, they would have scolded them a long time ago.

However, there are a few people who didn't move, they all saw that Zheng Xiuyan was not so simple people, and those who complained were basically at the bottom of the rankings, so their eyesight was not very good.

Zhang Zengji raised his hand to stop their noise, looked at Zheng Xiuyan with a serious face, and said, "Give me a reason, they all started from peripheral disciples." At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the people standing around, and then said to her, "So give me a reason for you to be an inner disciple directly." ”

Zheng Xiuyan looked at the people around her, and said indifferently: "All the senior brothers must have never learned any martial arts before apprenticing." ”

"That's right."

"I've learned a little bit about self-defense."

"Me too, I also learned a few kung fu tricks."

………………

After they all finished speaking, Zheng Xiuyan said to Zhang Zengji: "You see, almost all of them are ordinary people when they get started, of course, they have to start from peripheral disciples, but I am different. ”

"You're not ordinary?" Zhang Zengji asked.

"Of course."

"And what will you do?"

"I've studied boxing for a few years, and I still can't help myself if I ask a few gangsters."

Zheng Xiuyan also has her arrogance, let her mix with those people who can be killed by herself, she can't stand it.

The people around laughed, laughing disdainfully, you said that you are such a big little girl, even if you learn boxing, will you learn seriously, well, even if you study seriously, how powerful can you be, don't think that you can despise others if you learn a little skill, if it is a brother, we will definitely be able to make you a person again in minutes.

Zheng Xiuyan doesn't think so, in her cognition, as a strong person, she has reason to despise ordinary people, except for the people she cares about, of course.

Zhang Zengji was silent, he also felt that Zheng Xiuyan was a little arrogant, but he also wanted to test Zheng Xiuyan's strength, and said to her: "Okay, since that's the case, let's test your strength, if you are qualified, I will make an exception to accept you as a closed disciple." ”

"Okay." She now also wants to know how strong she really is.

"Haha, I'll do it." is still the first man to speak out, and he likes these things the most.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Li, let's call a peripheral disciple first." Zhang Zengji stopped him.

"Yes, Teacher." Xiao Li didn't dare not listen to Zhang Zengji's words, and said secretly: Also, it's okay to call a peripheral disciple for the test, it's really useless to be on your own.
