"Tai Chi? Isn't that self-cultivation thing? ”

Zhang Zixuan smiled and said: "Brother Xiaolong, this is your layman, Tai Chi is a high-level technique, not inferior to the Bagua Lian Zhang,"

I thought about it for a while and decided to learn the Sixteen Way Grappler! Why this? It's very simple, because when fighting zombies, zombies don't feel pain at all, and if you learn to grapple, plus my hands are flamed, it will definitely work wonders! Hand-to-hand combat can burn zombies faster!

And if it is used to deal with living people, it is also a very good choice, grab the hand, so that the opponent loses the ability to resist, and will not hurt the opponent. If the gossip serial palm is as fierce as it is on TV, it is easy to cause death, and in this society under the rule of law, if you make a mistake, you will go to prison, so the grappler is the best choice......

In the evening, Zhang Zixuan set up a table of banquets, and invited the grandmaster of the Sixteenth Road Grabber, Ma Dehua! He is an old man with gray hair, although he is seventy-one years old, but he walks very calmly, not like an old man in his seventies.

Ma Dehua also agreed to teach me how to wrestle, this night, I drank a little too much, called my mother and Xu Xiaoling in a daze, and went to sleep.

I slept in one of the rooms of Zhang Zixuan's villa.

……………………

At about three o'clock the next morning, I woke up, rubbed my head, got dressed and walked out, and Ma asked me to wait for him at the door at four o'clock this morning, and taught me the sixteen-way grappling.

There was still an hour before the agreed time, I jogged for a while, and then returned to the courtyard of Zhang Zixuan's villa, facing the east, lit three sandalwood sticks and inserted them in the rice bowl, then knelt on the ground, burned the yang charm three times, knocked three heads, and then sat on the ground, with both eyes slightly closed, the body was upright, the tongue was against the roof of the mouth, and then the hands were placed in the lower dantian in the shape of a ball, and the way of three exhalations and one breath was exhaled.

After breathing for a while, I heard footsteps approaching, and I opened my eyes and found that it was Ma Dehua.

To say that this Ma Dehua's name is really awesome, it is as powerful as the name of my master Niu Jintao! I guess it's not much worse.

He said appreciatively: "Young man, very hardworking, good. ”

"Thank you Ma seniors for their praise, the juniors get up at three o'clock every morning for morning exercises, and they have developed a habit."

"Well, I see that you were spitting just now, are you cultivating internal strength?"

"Practice as you please."

Old man Ma glanced at the rice bowl on the ground, and then said with a straight face: "Zhang Ershao cured my old stubborn disease and was kind to me, but I have never had the opportunity to repay, and now he asked me to teach you the sixteen-way grappler, in order to repay the kindness, I will teach you!" ”

"Thank you, senior."

"No need to be polite." Old man Ma said: "Xiaolong, I have seen your walking posture and found that your arms swing unnaturally, if you guess correctly, you should have carried heavy objects on your arms, right?" ”

"Seniors have good eyesight!" As I spoke, I took off my tracksuit, revealing the lead on my arm.

"Well, then I'll start teaching you the grappling now, in fact, this sixteen-way grappling is very simple, but if you want to master it, it will take a certain amount of time, what you have to do is to eat all this set of martial arts and turn it into your own instinctive reaction, of course, I will assist you." Old man Ma said: "Now, attack me and try ......"

……………………

Sixteen-way grappler, more powerful than I imagined, easy to learn, powerful and good, Old Man Ma asked me to attack him with all my strength, at the beginning, I didn't dare to use too much force, but then I found out that even if I used all my strength, I would be subdued by Old Man Ma! These sixteen-way grapplers are simply amazing!

Old Man Ma's martial arts are family heirlooms, it is said that he has been practicing since he was six years old, and now he has been practicing for more than 60 years, he has a lot of experience, he has a unique insight into the grappler, and what he says is experience.

Because my body is strong and my instincts are fast, it only took me two hours to learn the eight types of grappling, but I only learned it, and I am still far from being proficient and proficient, and I can't compare with a grandmaster like Old Man Ma.

At six o'clock, Zhang Zixuan also walked out, moving his body, we chatted and chatted, and suddenly talked about the 'plague incident' in Qingtian City a while ago, his family sent people, but the virus was not detected, and then the plague incident stopped inexplicably.

I smiled and briefly talked about the incident in Qingtian City a few days ago, and they sighed after listening to it.

In the morning, Zhang Zixuan took me to the pharmacy, personally grabbed some materials, and then came to the back of the pharmacy, only to see a few small stoves on the grass, Zhang Zixuan said, use the stove to give full play to the effect of the medicine.

He was going to decoct the medicine for me himself!

Therefore, none of these children of the family is simple, all the capital is quite deep, and they are very good at buying people's hearts, I made a moving look, and secretly wondered, what does he want to recruit me to do? In terms of martial arts, I can't compare to the hand of the old man Ma, and I don't understand firearms, I can only exorcise demons and demons, is it ......

Although I am not a smart person, I am not stupid, of course I will not let Zhang Zixuan decoct medicine for me, but let him guide on the side, and I will fan myself.

In the small talk, Zhang Zixuan gradually cut to the chase, and I finally understood his intention to recruit me.

Zhang Zixuan said casually: "Brother Xiaolong, I saw some interesting news a few days ago, saying that a small village in Dongning City became rich overnight, the reason is that an archaeologist went there to investigate, but saw a few children playing with mud with blue and white porcelain bowls in the Ming Dynasty, the archaeologist's eyes almost didn't fly out, he lived there for a few days, found that almost every farmer had a few antiques in their homes, and asked them where they got it, they said that it was passed down from the ancestors, but this is strange, it is just a poor small village, Why are there so many well-preserved antiques in circulation? As soon as the news spread, many antique collectors, small traders, and large families rushed over to unveil this mystery, hehe, I also want to see it in the near future. ”

The blue and white porcelain bowl of the Ming Dynasty is very well preserved? Needless to say, it must not have been handed down from the Ming Dynasty, otherwise after hundreds of years of history, this bowl would have been broken a long time ago! So according to my speculation, I am afraid that it is a burial object, which has only been excavated in recent years, so it can be preserved so completely.

Zhang Zixuan must have thought of this as well, so he recruited me. But I wondered, Zhang Zixuan, as a descendant of the Zhang family, has endless money, why is he so interested in robbing tombs?

Besides, I promised the woman that I would never rob the grave again.

But what Zhang Zixuan likes is my identity as a Taoist priest, if I don't agree, I will be too ignorant, alas, life is really full of difficult choices.

For the sake of cure, it is expedient, so let's compromise for the time being, and go over there to see the situation first.

So I said casually: "Since Brother Zhang is very interested in this matter, why don't you go and find out for yourself?" ”

Zhang Zixuan pretended to sigh: "Alas, I also want to go, but there is a lack of talents in this area, the last time I went on an adventure with the people of the Chen family, I could see the horror of the ancient tomb, the thick yin qi can kill people, even if you bring a group of martial arts masters, what's the use?" ”

I said 'sincerely': "If Brother Zhang can trust the younger brother, the younger brother is willing to accompany Brother Zhang and do his best to protect Brother Zhang." ”

"Good! Brother Xiaolong is really righteous enough, in this case, we have also gone around in the near future, so as not to be taken first, what do Brother Xiaolong think? ”

"It's all up to Brother Zhang's arrangement." I smiled and said......

After dinner, when I was learning the 16th Road Grappling with Ma Dehua, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and when I took it out, it turned out to be Xu Xiaoling calling, and picked up the phone: "Sister Xiaoling, do you miss me?" ”

"No, I made the wrong call."

She was deliberately angry with me, and I said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoling, nothing happened today, right?" ”

I mean, did the gang come to seek revenge, Xu Xiaoling is very smart, of course she knows what I am referring to, she said: "It's okay, with the eldest sister by my side, I feel an unprecedented sense of security." ”

"No, Sister Xiaoling, you must have a delusion, you are safest when I am by your side."

"Okay, no kidding, I'll talk to you about something serious, I'm going on a business trip for a while, maybe I haven't come back when you come back."

"On a business trip? Where to go? How long does it take? ”

Xu Xiaoling said: "Some time ago, there were many antiquities in a small village, almost every farmer has them, and our curator also sent a few people to collect antiquities and bring them back to be displayed in the museum. ”

I was speechless for a few seconds, until Xu Xiaoling called several times on the other side of the phone: Xiaolong? Dragons?

I asked, "Sister Xiaoling, do you believe in fate?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" No matter how smart Xu Xiaoling is, he can't guess why I suddenly asked this question.

"You answer me first."

"Hmm...... I believe a little. ”

I smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoling, the place you are talking about should be a small village in Dongning City, right?" If I sue you, I'll be going there in the next few days to do errands, will you think that we are really fated? ”

"Huh? It's true? Xu Xiaoling asked in surprise.

"Of course, why lie to you? When do you depart? ”

Xu Xiaoling said: "It should be tomorrow afternoon's train, and I will arrive in Dongning City the morning after tomorrow, and it is estimated that I will be able to reach that small village at noon." ”

"Is it the day after tomorrow? Sister Xiaoling, let the eldest sister take you to the train station tomorrow afternoon, and after the train leaves, let the eldest sister go home to protect my parents, we will meet in Dongning City, with me by your side, you will be very safe. I smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call you later, I'm a little busy right now......"

(Three watches)
