Chapter 136: Kick the Gym!
When Guo Xiucai heard that Kang Xuanfei was in the dark, he thought that the other party's apprentice was in Jinmen, and he probably also lived in a dance hall or nightclub or something like that, but he never expected that it would be such a martial arts hall.
"Here...... Is it a place for the underworld? ”
Looking at the huge façade not far away, Guo Xiu was a little dumbfounded, and at the same time a little suspicious of his eyes. At the spacious façade, from time to time, people wearing practice clothes or suits walked out of it, all of them were polite and well-cultivated, far from the image of the underworld in Guo Xiu's heart.
In front of the martial arts hall, there were several rows of dazzling luxury cars parked, and Guo Xiu recognized some of the famous car logos even if he didn't study the cars anymore. Maybach, Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, those vehicles that can only appear at the auto show are all gathered together at this moment, and they easily attract the envy of everyone who comes and goes.
The door of the martial arts hall is a revolving door made of tempered glass, revealing a strong modern atmosphere everywhere, if it weren't for Guo Xiu's sharp eyes, he first saw the antique plaque on the head of the door, just from the outside, where is there a martial arts hall?
"Songxi Martial Arts Hall?"
Guo Xiu smacked his lips, looked up and down at the door of this martial arts hall, and asked the two people around him in surprise, "Are you sure it's here?" I don't look like it. ”
Liu Qingqing stared at the door of the martial arts hall, his eyes did not move at all, but his mouth replied: "I know what you are thinking, is it possible that in your heart, the so-called underworld forces are fighting and killing?"
Guo Xiu pursed his lips and said very depressedly: "That's not it, I'm not a kid who has only watched a few movies." It's just that since it's an underworld, how can it be so arrogant, and open a museum in the city to accept apprentices, they don't know how to keep a low profile? ”
Although Liu Qingan didn't study these things much, he had been investigating Hu Qingyuan's traces for a while, but he knew the Tao inside better than Guo Xiu, and when he heard Guo Xiu's doubts, he took the initiative to explain to Guo Xiu.
"There are some things that are safer the more they are on the surface. Although this martial arts hall has a relationship with the forces behind my uncle, it is not deep, and from the bright side, it can be regarded as an independent enterprise. Moreover, many of the members of this martial arts gym are upper-class people in Jinmen City, and the internal relationship is complicated, if you want to move it rashly, you still have to spend some brains. ”
"People from the upper echelons of the Jinmen?"
Guo Xiu laughed, and he suddenly remembered the blue drinking party he went to last time, and the "upper-class people" in it were really not people who could impress him too much.
"So, this is a martial arts hall, so it's better to say it's a clubhouse?"
Guo Xiu has probably understood it now after Liu Qing'an's explanation. The function of this martial arts gym is actually a small platform for those in power to make some small transactions in their spare time, but on the surface it is under the guise of martial arts exchanges.
"That's right," Liu Qingqing nodded in agreement with Guo Xiu's statement, and then added, "This martial arts gym is mainly for teaching Taijiquan. In addition, there are taekwondo, karate, judo and other famous martial arts schools in the world. It's about technique rather than health. Those people who participated in this martial arts hall also came with the intention of being able to learn a hand or two. ”
"Really? So when are we going to go in? Guo Xiu looked at the door of the martial arts hall in the distance, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
Liu Qingqing smiled slightly and replied, "Let's go change our clothes first, and then take the most direct way to go in." ”
"How?"
Guo Xiu raised his eyebrows, looking at the change in Liu Qingqing's whole body temperament with some surprise, he felt that the other party was a little sharp in an instant.
Liu Qing'an said something and grinned: "You'll know when the time comes......"
It was eight o'clock in the evening, the lights were bright, and the stars were few.
Hu Qingyuan sat quietly on a Taishi chair in the middle of the dojo, watching the students in the audience practice the routines over and over again. Although most of those students were older than him, and some were even in high positions of power, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest in front of this young man.
Since following his master to betray Wudang, Hu Qingyuan's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in constant struggle. Until now, he has a third-rate mid-grade cultivation. This speed is not much faster than when he was cultivating in Wudang, which also made him more determined to follow his master.
What Hu Qingyuan learned was not Wudang Secret Taijiquan, but another kind of Taijiquan, although the name is similar, but the content is very different.
Wudang martial arts are as complex as the stars in the sky, and Taijiquan is just a well-known boxing faction, not just one boxing method. Even in Wudang, Tai Chi is divided into many different fist systems. And what Hu Qingyuan practiced was the Taiyi Five Elements Boxing, which has become famous in recent years.
As one of the branches of Taijiquan, Taiyi Five Elements Boxing adheres to the Taoist boxing method of "unity of mind and spirit, and use both heart and hand." Yin and yang are born together, and rigidity and softness are combined. The characteristics of combining the concepts of a number of Daomen boxing methods are combined into a set of techniques.
Taiyi Five Elements Boxing is currently the same as Yang's Taijiquan, which is basically a health boxing method that has been rotten on the street, and those routines that are popular on the street are not comparable at all except for the names of the tricks and the true legend.
The name of Taiyi Five Elements Boxing is boxing, but the hand shape of the move is similar to the tiger claw, and this hand style of play has a name called the mallet.
Different from the general fist, Taiyi Wuxing Fist needs to bend the four fingers together to the palm, and the thumb is bent in the tiger's mouth, when hitting people against the enemy, the knuckles are the mainstay, when the rigidity is short and cold, and the key points of the human body are suddenly attacked, the force penetrates three feet, and it is very destructive.
On the other hand, the use of a mallet hand is more convenient for the grappling technique when playing against the move. In the Taiyi Five Elements Boxing, many tricks and clasped hands must be completed with this hand shape, which is the palm in the fist, the claw in the palm, the change is endless, moving like a snake, soft like a silkworm cocoon.
Hu Qingyuan has been learning Taiyi Five Elements Boxing for more than ten years, although he is not very old, he is already a full veteran, and in the general area, it is enough to dominate one side.
Everyone who came to this venue was a student who followed Hu Qingyuan to learn Taiyi Five Elements Boxing, and Hu Qingyuan naturally had to keep a hand for his own secret skills, not to mention that these students were delicate and expensive, and none of them were professional martial arts, so Hu Qingyuan just told them a little bit about the boxing routines, and then said a few actual combat techniques, so they let them practice by themselves.
Everyone played the routine over and over again, but no one shouted bitterness and persevered. Most of these people who go out are also famous people with surnames and successful careers, so they will naturally not give up halfway because of this difficulty.
Besides, they saw Hu Qingyuan go down with a hammer and break a solid green brick without any effort. And this is also the reason why they are convinced of Hu Qingyuan, a young man.
Of course, there are also some female students in the field who come purely to see Hu Qingyuan, and watching such a small piece of fresh meat pose with a serious appearance makes people feel very cute.
Looking at everyone in the audience lightly, Hu Qingyuan automatically ignored those fiery eyes, and his young and immature face revealed a bit of age-inappropriate age. He nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man sitting on the side, and greeted respectfully: "Uncle Ma, why don't you see that you will be here today?" ”
Sitting next to Hu Qingyuan was a fat and strong middle-aged man, wearing a navy blue practice uniform, the buttons on his stomach seemed to be about to be broken, and his clothes were propped up. This middle-aged man is about forty years old, with two mustaches on his fat face, a pair of bright eyes, and a sense of prestige between Gu Pan, which gives people a sharp sense of spikes.
The middle-aged man's seat on Hu Qingyuan's left hand side was a mahogany Taishi chair, with a giant dragon carved on the legs, each scale was lifelike and exquisite. He stroked his trademark beard and rubbed a long sword in one hand.
This person is the best friend of Kang Xuanfei, a kendo master from the Taiyi faction of Wudang Mountain-Ma Yuan.
Hearing Hu Qingyuan's question, Ma Yuan shook his head slightly, and looked at Hu Qingyuan kindly: "Senior nephew, your master handed over all the martial arts hall to you before leaving, you have your own idea, Uncle Shi, I just help you a little, and you still have to look at yourself for other places." ”
Hu Qingyuan said yes respectfully, and there was not the slightest mistake in the salute, which made Ma Yuan's eyes look at him more kindly.
As Kang Xuanfei's friend, Ma Yuan is very clear about Kang Xuanfei's feelings for Hu Qingyuan, Hu Qingyuan is Kang Xuanfei from the age of seventeen to thirty-five, the bond between the two is very deep, the two of them say that they are master and apprentice, but in fact, the relationship is more than father and son.
Because of this, Ma Yuan never treated him as an elder in front of Hu Qingyuan, but regarded him more as his own son and nephew. Although he was very puzzled by Kang Xuanfei's betrayal of Wudang, this did not affect the friendship between Ma Yuan and Kang Xuanfei at all, otherwise Kang Xuanfei would not have asked him to take care of Hu Qingyuan.
Hu Qingyuan turned his head to look at the people practicing in the field, and coughed slightly, the sound was not loud, but everyone heard it instantly, and they stopped their movements one after another, and the field suddenly quieted down.
"Let's get here today, let's all disperse."
Hu Qingyuan clapped his hands and said lightly. Everyone bowed in return, and then walked to the sidelines, ready to go back.
The atmosphere in the stadium was also much more lively, most of the students here knew each other, and they all talked in their own small circles, discussed the next activities of the evening, and walked to the locker room together. The female students even discussed going to a beauty spa after a while to dispel today's fatigue.
Just as everyone was about to walk to the door of the dojo, the solid wooden double door suddenly exploded with a bang, and then the two door panels were suddenly shattered like pieces of paper, and everyone couldn't help but scream in fright and retreated.
And in the midst of this mess, two figures walked in slowly with steady steps and under the frightened eyes of everyone.
"Who are you? What are you doing?! ”
Hu Qingyuan looked at the people who came with bad intentions, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching, and he slowly pulled away from the stance. Ma Yuan's eyes were also raised, sweeping over the two people, and a faint light appeared in his eyes.
"We?" Guo Xiu grinned and stepped forward.
"I'm here to kick the gym!"
