Chapter 2 Tai Chi, Gao Xianzhi
There are many things in life that are unforeseeable.
For example, this time, the development of things is completely beyond Xiao Quzhi's imagination. He never imagined that he would be able to cross, nor would he be able to confront the Tang people in this way, and he would not be able to communicate with the other party.
Xiao Quzhi quietly clenched his fists and took a deep breath, calming his heartbeat, which had become a little nervous. He suddenly found that his chest tightness was gone, but it was not the time to be happy, and now he had to face the dilemma in front of him, how to break it?
Xiao Quzhi thought in his heart, if the other party did it indiscriminately and directly, whether he wanted to take hostages, it was better to take the lead. But at present, the situation may not be so bad, everything depends on the decision of the other party.
So, it wasn't long before he waited for a chance to break the game: an officer-like called the two knights who had been torn off their horses for questioning, and the bows and arrows that had been wound were ordered to be taken back to the quiver.
Seeing that he was safe for the time being, Xiao Qubing calmed down, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to their speech, not daring to miss a syllable. I feel that the words they speak are a bit like Hokkien, and a bit like Cantonese, with a lot of tones, tactful and tortuous tones, and they speak like singing, is this the accent of the Tang Dynasty?
It's a pity that Xiao Qubing can't speak Hokkien or Cantonese, and his only contact is to listen to Hokkien and Cantonese songs, and watch Cantonese movies, but listen carefully, combined with the context at the time, I also listened to it.
The questioning ended quickly, and then the officer discussed it with the two men again. Xiao Qubing vaguely heard that they were asking who they were and what was going on in that big pit, because when they said this, Xiao Qubing saw them and glanced at the big pit.
The next development was very unexpected by Xiao Quai's illness.
The middle-aged handsome officer called Xiao Qubing to him, and looked up and down for a long time, as if he was thinking about something. I saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he drew his knife.
Xiao Quai's whole body tightened, his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and his eyes were staring at his horizontal knife. But I saw him write four words on the ground with the tip of a knife: "Ru Zhi Zi No", it turned out that he saw the three words written on the wine bottle on Xiao Qu's sick hand.
Xiao Quzhi smiled, why didn't he think of this? Of course, I am literate, and I can also read traditional Chinese characters. He pointed to the backpack on the ground, took out a pen and notebook from it, and wrote in traditional Chinese from top to bottom:
"In Xia Xiao to get sick, is a Han Chinese, since childhood sick, after being taken up by the family teacher to the mountain to cultivate, now according to the master's order to go down the mountain to enter the world, was sent here by the master with mana, I don't want to meet the general, may I ask, what year is this year?"
"Your master is an immortal?"
"Master is a Taoist priest who lives in seclusion on a mountain whose name I don't know either. I was picked up by the master when I was three years old, and this was the first time I went down the mountain, so I don't know Tang Yin, don't blame me. ”
"What credentials do you have?"
Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly, thinking that it was originally made up, what credentials can there be, as long as you don't let me fly to show you. "What credentials do you want?" Xiao Quzhi wrote in the notebook.
The handsome officer discussed a few words with the two people next to him, and wrote on the ground: "Immortal Mountain Hermit, there must be amazing means, and you should not be bad as an apprentice, if you can show one or two, I will believe you." ”
Xiao Quzhi smiled, like drowsiness on a pillow. Just now, his mind was highly concentrated, and the senses in his body became extremely sensitive. He had a faint feeling that his whole person seemed to have changed. Not only did the chest tightness that had plagued me for 20 years and the chest pain disappear, but my whole body seemed to be renewed. All organs, all tissues, are new, and they have all reached their most perfect and harmonious state.
Xiao Quzhi thought to himself, maybe it was when his physical body passed through the wormhole, he mutated or evolved, so that the whole person has now reached a very perfect state. The feeling of being reborn is very good, if it weren't for the people around, Xiao Qubing really wanted to play a set of punches immediately, and then practice all the things he has learned in ten years of martial arts training. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
After a little movement of his muscles and bones, he heard a thin sound like muffled thunder coming from various joints of his body. Xiao Qu's confidence soared after his illness, and he wrote: "Then demonstrate your fists and feet, who of you will come?"
The handsome officer told everyone what he meant, and everyone became excited. The Tang people are still martial and warlike, and even more so in the army, they have too much blood and energy, and they have nowhere to vent, and they often start fighting because of a trivial matter. The officers don't care, and even have some encouragement, as long as they are not too out of line, they are not allowed to hold grudges later.
The officer known as Zhongcheng quickly picked three people, and in order to try out Xiao Qu's illness as soon as possible, he deliberately chose Zhang Dazhuang, who fought the most fiercely and was the first in sumo.
This Zhang Dazhuang, as his name suggests, is thick and strong, his neck is thicker than his face, he is a warrior wearing heavy armor, standing in front of the battle with a Mo sword, and charging in battle; Generally speaking, this body type, with great strength and a stable center of gravity, will not move too fast, and the body will not be too flexible. However, Zhang Dazhuang can perfectly combine the two, not only powerful, but also fast and flexible.
The other two are named Wei Yishan and Li Ergou, who were born as Chang'an rangers and served as scouts in the army. The specialty is good at wandering to win, and the moves are quirky and tacitly coordinated.
The first to take the stage was the strong man, who came to the center of the field, like a humanoid iron tower, and immediately caused the audience to cheer and cheer, and then to laugh in the hall.
The applause is because of confidence in Zhang Dazhuang, and the laughter is that the contrast between the images of the two standing on the field is too great.
One is as strong as a bear, and the other is as thin as a bamboo pole, and many people can't hold back on the spot, which is too funny.
They even think that Gao Xianzhi is a bit overkill, just such a thin guy who can be blown away by a gust of wind, does he still need Zhang Dazhuang, the No. 1 master in sumo wrestling, to play?
Zhang Dazhuangke's strength is very clear to everyone, and he is the first in infantry among the soldiers of the Anxi Army. Except for Li Siye, no one is his opponent, and he is extremely heavy, often beating people to the point of breaking bones and tendons. In the eyes of many people, there is no need to fight this fight, Xiao Qubing has already lost. They seemed to see Xiao Qubing being knocked to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, and breaking his hands and feet.
Many people shouted: "Wait and see, Da Zhuang can knock him down with just one punch!" ”
There are also those who gloat: "The big and strong one, he can't get up!" ”
There are also soft-hearted and kind-hearted ones: "Big and strong can be light, and this small body can not be beaten by you." ”
Xiao ignored their shouts, nodded to the handsome officer to signal that he was ready, and then focused on the tower-like strong man. To say that before, when he encountered such a big man, Xiao Qubing was really a little worried, not that he must not be able to beat, but it was too much of a loss, if you punch him, he will be fine, and if he punches you, it will be a broken bone and tendon. But this time, Xiao Quzhi was full of confidence and didn't take a punch to put down the other party.
"Let's go." The lead officer shouted the order.
The brawny man immediately attacked, and he slammed into it like a brute bull, and the distance between the two was instantaneous.
A fist the size of a sand bowl slammed directly into Xiao Quai's face, and the iron-clad fist gauntlet hit the air with a whirring sound.
The onlookers opened their mouths wide, and they were already preparing to applaud anxiously. A few soft-hearted people twisted their heads over, as if they were afraid that this punch would directly blow the head of the kid opposite.
Xiao Quzhi had already paid attention to it, and he saw that the other party's fist was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and he was getting closer and closer to him, until it was less than half a foot, and the strong wind brought by the fist gauntlet hit his face with a slight pain. Then Xiao Quzhi dodged and slipped out with a wrong step, and hit the strong man's waist with a palm.
For ordinary people, this punch suddenly hit the air, and he was slapped on the side of his waist, but he was afraid that he would immediately lose his center of gravity and fall into a dog and. But the strong man's center of gravity was extremely stable, and he only shook it twice, then turned around, and with a punch, it brought out the sound of the wind, and hit Xiao Quai's throat bone again.
This is a bit like cheating, this strong man is a heavy infantry, long and stout, with a low center of gravity, not easy to fall, the only drawback is that the turn is not dexterous enough, easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy, but a piece of iron armor perfectly covers this shortcoming.
Where is this human, this is clearly a humanoid Gundam.
The best way to deal with such an opponent is to dodge with a flexible body, consume the opponent's stamina, and wait for him to reveal his flaws, and then knock him down in one fell swoop. But Xiao Quzhi was reluctant to do this, because even if he won, he would not look good.
Xiao Quzhi decided to use the listening strength and understanding of Tai Chi to knock him down head-on with the technique of four or two thousand catties. Just as the strong man rushed towards him again and waved his iron fist, Xiao Qu slammed into him head-on.
Boom!
Xiao Quai's arm touched the opponent's arm together, Xiao Quai's backhand, his palm was on the opponent's arm, and he touched the center of gravity of the strong man like a flint, and suddenly pulled it and shook it violently.
Bang!
The huge body of this strong man was immediately thrown out two feet away and fell to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust on the ground.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhang Dazhuang who was lying on the ground on all fours in disbelief. That Zhang Dazhuang, who was almost invincible in foot combat, was so vulnerable in front of this thin young man? Brought down in two rounds?
Everyone was extremely shocked, could this young man know the demon (immortal) method?
The strong man fell very hard this time, and Xiao Quzhi used the technique of dialing thousands of catties in Tai Chi and using strength. borrowed enough strength from the strong man's full impact, and at the moment when the strong man used his strength to use his old age, he guided this strength and knocked the strong man into the air by himself. The strong man hit himself with all his might, and lay on the ground unconscious for a long time before he got up.
The strong man was quickly helped to the side, his face was bruised by gravel, and he hung the color, looking ashamed and inexplicable at the same time.
He himself didn't know how he fell.
Then two medium-sized, thin, and sturdy soldiers entered the field at the same time. The two are agile and good at walking. The three of them went back and forth in the middle of the field, testing each other for two rounds, and Xiao Quzhi quickly figured out the other party's path. These two people should be rangers, sentinels, scouts, etc., in the army, and they are good at finding opportunities in the guerrilla and killing them with one blow.
But Xiao Qubing will not give them a chance, if Xiao Qubing fought with them in the past, it may take a long time, but now, Xiao Quai's body style, reaction, and movement speed are not an order of magnitude as before, and predicting their course of action is like playing.
Xiao Quzhi decided to break it with force.
So the next scene became very dramatic, Xiao Qubing seemed to possess the role of the strong man just now, rampage on the field, always able to intercept the opponent's line in the slightest, and then either hit the shoulder or lightly knocked the opponent away. Although each stroke was not very heavy, the two of them were able to get up quickly. But it feels like it's really ...... That's it.
It's a joke!
So, about seven or eight times after hitting the other party, the handsome officer came out and called a halt.
The two soldiers were tired and sweaty, gasping for breath, looking at Xiao Quai's illness with resentment, and his expression was almost like crying.
Xiao Qu was sick but like no one else, his face was not red and he was not panting. Xiao Qubing originally wanted to learn from Donnie Yen in the movie: "I want to fight ten!" But after thinking about it, it was better not to be too arrogant, he walked up to the officer, picked up the notebook and wrote: "The general is credible now?" ”
The officer was still serious, with a serious face, and he didn't say that he believed or didn't believe it, but wrote on the ground: "I don't know the number of the respected teacher? ”
Xiao Quzhi thought for a while and wrote: "Dao number Taijizi." ”
"Can you fly?"
"I won't, my master sent me here with Taoism." Xiao Quzhi didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter, so he hurriedly wrote in the back: "I don't know what to call the general? What year is it? ”
"A certain is Gao Xianzhi, and it is now March of the tenth year of Tianbao."
Ten years of Tianbao, Xiao Quzhi lowered his head and thought about it, ten years of Tianbao, that is, 751 AD, it seems that a lot of things have happened in the Tang Dynasty this year. The Tang Dynasty suffered three defeats this year, and in April, Xian Yu Zhongtong was defeated by Nanzhao; In July, Gao Xianzhi was defeated by Talas; In August, An Lushan was defeated by Xi and Khitan. In the same year, An Lushan served as the envoy of the Three Towns Festival and began to plot a rebellion.
Xiao Qubing was thinking about it here, when his mind suddenly moved, he reacted, opened his mouth wide, pointed at the general and muttered to himself, while writing: "You are the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, are you going to Talas?" ”
That Gao Xianzhi saw that Xiao Qu's illness had been inexplicably silent for so long, and suddenly reacted so much, and when he saw the word Talas again, he suddenly became solemn, and stared at Xiao Qu's illness viciously with the eyes of a spy.
Listening to an order, a few bright horizontal knives were against Xiao Quai's surroundings, and Gao Xianzhi wrote on the ground: "How do you know? ”
The situation spiraled out of control in an instant.
