Chapter 40: The Great Lion Martial Arts Hall
Caijia Village is frequently close to the sea, and you have to go around a big circle to Nanzhou City. It's not very far, it's about two hours, though.
Cai Hongming's grandfather's old friend's son knew that they were coming, and waited at the entrance of the alley early.
"Uncle Shi is here, do you want to go to the house to make tea first?"
"No, let's go to the martial arts hall!" Cai Lang said lukewarmly, he has always been worried about the death of his old friend by selling the martial arts hall by this unfilial son.
Under his leadership, Cai Hongming and others walked into an alley of about two meters.
It is said that the alley was actually a street in the old days, but compared to the wide roads today, it can only be an alley. There are a few Jinshi, the prime minister, and the memorial arch of Tanhua in the middle of the alley, and it is estimated that there have been dignitaries and dignitaries here before, but now it has become a passing cloud.
After a while, the group came to a "swallowtail-style" old house.
There is a plaque on the door of the house, which reads "Big Lion Martial Arts Hall" four vigorous characters. Cai Lang looked at the plaque and sighed. At that time, the martial arts hall was also somewhat famous in Nanzhou, but I didn't expect it to fall into ruin, and even the land was sold.
The street next to the Great Lion Martial Arts Hall used to be the most prosperous place in the entire Nanzhou, but now the city is changing with each passing day, and it has long been lost. The roof tiles of the old street are old, and there is a smell of decay everywhere. There are two mighty stone lions standing in front of the martial arts hall, which are different from the local customs of Nanzhou. Stone drums are used more here in Nanzhou, and there are very few stone lions, and no one even knows how to put them.
Cai Hongming took a look at it and felt that this was a good pair of lions.
His grandfather's old friend's son pushed open the door of the martial arts hall and welcomed them in. When I walked inside, I saw a big "Wu" written in the middle. It seems that this is where people who used to learn martial arts practiced martial arts. It was empty and there was nothing. The son of his grandfather's old friend led them out of the hall and walked to the house next to the hospital, where a portrait of Guan Gong with a knife hung in the center, and a majestic aura came to the face, which made people awe-inspiring.
In addition to the portrait, there is also a green lion for lion dance on the left and right sides, which is a local lion dance style. There are also some short weapons next to it, including black iron Jane, knives, swords, and so on.
Cai Hongming saw it, and said in his heart, no wonder there are only long weapons at home, it turns out that short weapons are all here. He likes weapons very much, and he feels that it is good to take them back to collect, anyway, this house is going to be sold, and this son of his grandfather's old friend doesn't look like a person who likes these things, and it is a waste to stay here.
So, he told his grandfather and asked him to buy those weapons, as well as the portrait of Guan Gong in the middle and the pair of lions outside.
After a while in the reception room, the son of his grandfather's old friend took them to another room.
This one is a study. The shelves in the room are full of books, most of which are related to martial arts, and there are pen and ink inkstone paperweights on the desk next to them, but it seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time, and they are all covered with dust.
"Uncle, don't you want anything in this house?" Cai Hongming looked at the things in the room and asked in surprise.
"I don't practice martial arts, what do you want these things for, I'll give it to you if you want it." As he spoke, he said to Cai Lang: "Uncle Shi, I really didn't know that selling the house would cause my father to pass away, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have sold it." ”
After saying that, his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
"Forget it, it's all over, what are you doing with this?" Cai Lang waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Since Hongming has taken a fancy to the things in the house, you can help call a car over, see how much it is, and let him give it to you." ”
"I said I was going to give it to him, what are you doing with the money?" His old friend's son excused himself.
Cai Hongming hurriedly said: "Uncle, how can this work, how can you give me all these things, see how much it is, how much is it, so that I won't be embarrassed to take it." "What can be solved with money is better with money, and he doesn't want to owe a favor because of this little thing.
The son of his father-in-law's old friend repeatedly refused, and finally couldn't see Cai Hongming, so he casually asked for tens of thousands.
Cai Hongming was speechless when he heard it, he dared to feel that the prevarication just now was all fake, waiting here? But since the words were spoken, he didn't regret it, he immediately gave the money, and then moved the things to the truck he called with Cai Zhengxian, and the two lions at the door could only wait for him to call the crane another day and transport them over. When he left, he didn't know if he had a conscience or something, but he insisted on giving him the two green lions for the lion dance in the martial arts hall and a few solid wood tables and chairs. It's a bastard to be cheap and not to take advantage of it, so Cai Hongming didn't refuse.
After everything was done, Cai Zhengxian drove the road in front and led the truck to the village, ignoring the man's words to make tea at home.
"Ah Gong, that person is really picky." On the way home, Cai Hongming complained to his grandfather.
"He can't be blamed." Cai Lang sighed and said: "After the martial arts hall declined, my old friend's family lost its main source of income, and his son did not grow up, so that in the end, my old friend fell ill and had no money for treatment, so he wanted to sell the martial arts hall." After all, he doesn't practice martial arts, so it's useless to keep it. ”
Ah Gong is a good man and doesn't like to speak ill of people. Cai Hongming didn't say anything more.
When he got home, he moved his things to the house and put them away, and he ran back to his room and sent the photos he had taken on the island in the past few days to the meager space. Those fans who followed him were envious after watching it. Especially the group of friends in his northwest, they were even more red-eyed, and they shouted to come over to play. But these words can only be listened to, these people are too lazy to die, let them go out, it is estimated that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.
At night, the moon is like a hook.
The clear moonlight shines on the water, reflecting the sparkling waves.
Cai Hongming took advantage of the moonlight to dive into the water to practice boxing. After a period of exercise, he has become accustomed to the buoyancy in the water, and he can stand firmly in the sea without the help of stones, and only rely on his own foot strength, not afraid to float to the surface.
The last time the platinum dragon seal changed dramatically, after passing the information of its origin into his brain, and then entering the water, he found that he was like a fish in the water, and he could breathe freely in it without fear of suffocation. Later, I found out that all this was caused by the platinum dragon seal.
But he still has to practice boxing in the water, how can he practice Feihe boxing without the gravity of the water.
After research, he found that the platinum dragon seal was able to follow his will, allowing him not only to breathe in the water like a fish, but also to let him bear gravity and buoyancy in the water like ordinary people. This is undoubtedly good news for him.
After a period of practice, he became more and more proficient in boxing in the water, and had gradually penetrated deep into the reef groups, allowing the dark waves to beat and impact his body.
Every impact of the water is a forging of his body, making his body stronger and stronger.
Another dark wave struck, Cai Hongming practiced the Flying Crane Fist and did not retreat but advanced, letting the dark waves that poured into the reef from the sea hit his body. The dark waves came like ripples, and Cai Hongming realized something, and the Flying Crane Fist in his hand shook suddenly. A dark wave just hit, and under his flying crane fist, it exploded violently, turning into countless streams of water and surging around.
It was this feeling that he had been staying at the peak of the bright energy, and he seemed to see the direction of entering the dark energy.
Cai Hongming was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly tried to punch the crane again, and the vibration hit the turbulent dark waves with bursts of dark force. The two forces collided, burst out, twisted, and swirled to the side. That's it, Cai Hongming laughed. He has finally entered the dark energy, and God has lived up to his intentions, and he has lived up to his hard cultivation for a while.
Unfortunately, he forgot that he was in the middle of the sea. The sea water poured into his open mouth, choking his eyes, and his feet were not frivolous because of carelessness, and he was beaten by a dark wave and went to the shore.
After a while, he climbed ashore and, though in disarray, laughed with joy. It's not easy! After working hard for so long, I finally entered the dark energy.
