Chapter Thirty-Eight: Finding Strength from Moving
In this era, communication was inconvenient, transportation was inconvenient, and it was a troubled time, so it took Xia Yang three days to arrive in Tianjin by boat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After getting off the boat, people came and went on the dock, and Xia Yang looked at it, only to feel that the prosperity was not below Shanghai.
"Rickshaw!" Xia Yang beckoned.
A coachman came running over and asked, "Where are you going, gentleman?"
"To the Chinese Samurai Hall. Xia Yang said.
This is Huo Diange's address in Tianjin, and he is now teaching with his master.
"Okay!" the coachman ran hard, and asked as he ran, "Is the gentleman going to practice martial arts?"
Xia Yang replied casually: "Yes, it's to practice martial arts." ”
"If you want to learn martial arts, just go to the samurai club. The coachman smiled: "Don't look at the martial arts halls everywhere outside, but if you want to learn real kung fu, you have to go to the Chinese Warriors Association." ”
"Oh, is it?" Xia Yang didn't know about the Chinese Warrior Association, but he inquired before he came, and roughly understood that it seemed to be related to the Revolutionary Party.
The coachman thought he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said, "Haven't you heard that 'there is a Jingwu Gate in the south and a samurai club in the north'?"
Xia Yang really hadn't heard of it, and said in amazement: "Is there really such a statement?"
"Nature is true. The coachman said: "Sir, haven't you heard that Xia Yang of the Jingwumen in Shanghai defeated more than a dozen Japanese devils in the ring a few days ago? ”
Xia Yang was a little speechless, is this an advertising fee, do you want to work so hard to promote.
Soon, the rickshaw pulled him to the Chinese Warriors Association, a huge courtyard.
Xia Yang took a look and realized that this Chinese Warrior Association was originally a school-like school, not a traditional martial arts hall.
"I'm looking for Huo Diange, please inform me on my behalf, the old man from Shanghai is here. Xia Yang greeted the person in front of the door, but in order to avoid causing a commotion, he did not announce his name.
As soon as Huo Diange heard that it was from Shanghai, he knew that it was Xia Yang who was coming, so he hurriedly came to the door, hugged his fists and laughed: "Brother Xia, we finally meet again, welcome to Tianjin." ”
Xia Yang was also very happy to see this brother who was familiar at first sight, exchanged a few words of greeting, and followed him into the hall before asking, "Brother Huo, you called me to Tianjin, but what is the important matter?"
Huo Diange didn't hide it: "It's my master who wants to see you." ”
Xia Yang has made up a lot of things in the martial arts these days, and he also learned what kind of character Huo Diange's master, "Divine Spear" Li Shuwen is, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that he wanted to see him.
Huo Diange took Xia Yang to a secluded courtyard, asked him to wait for the time being, and then turned around to ask the master.
After a while, Xia Yang saw Huo Diange walking in with a lean, withered, and short old man.
"This is the famous 'magic spear' Li Shuwen?"
Xia Yang was stunned for a moment. I saw that his hair was half white, his eyes were focused, he had a long beard, he was wearing an ordinary dark robe, and he was stepping on a pair of mille-feuille shoes.
"Master, he is Xia Yang. Huo Diange stretched out his finger and pointed at him, and then introduced to Xia Yang: "Brother Xia, this is my master, Li Shuwen." ”
Xia Yang stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "Meet Senior Li." ”
"Yes, the strength has been practiced to the muscles and bones, and you already have the real things in boxing. Li Shuwen's tone was sonorous, and there was a smell of Jin Ge Iron Horse and decisive killing between his words. With a word of admiration, he stretched out his hands: "Come, take a hand!"
"Okay, senior, then I'll be rude. Xia Yang's eyes lit up, knowing that he wanted to test his kung fu, he stepped forward quickly and put his hand on it.
After the two flesh palms touched, Xia Yang took the lead in attacking, his hands shrunk and tightened, as if with thousands of sharp steel needles, slightly stabbed, and they were all lying together, containing but not hairing.
Li Shuwen's face was calm, his wrist was only trembling slightly, and Xia Yang felt the hairs on his hands explode, and a huge force hit him, wanting to bounce his hand away.
"The pores of the skin film can hit people, this is Huajin?"
Xia Yang was shocked at first, and then his battle intent surged, this was the first time he had fought against someone at the level of Huajin. His eyes narrowed slightly, his five fingers suddenly became vigorous, and his arm seemed to turn into a large iron tong, which swollen violently.
"Sure enough, it's a natural divine power!"
Sensing that Xia Yang's hand was approaching with a terrifying force, and it was purely just physical strength, Li Shuwen remembered that Huo Diange had told him about this, and he knew it in his heart. Then his sleeves puffed out, his fingers flicked continuously, Xia Yang only felt a concussive force emanating from the other party's knuckles, and his palms jumped violently, and he could no longer hold his hand.
Under the shock, Xia Yang only felt that the qi and blood in his body were fluttering, with his current physique, he could feel this way, and he immediately knew that the master of transforming strength had the ability to make himself injured.
"The seniors are smart, but I lost. ”
Xia Yang also understood that the other party had shown mercy, and Xindao really deserved to be a generation of boxing masters, so he naturally couldn't entangle anymore and honestly admit defeat.
This is the hand-to-hand etiquette in the martial arts world, two people want to try kung fu, no need to fight, as soon as they join hands, they will know the depth of each other. If you have to do it to distinguish the superior, if you don't have to fight, then you will tear your face and see the fight of life and death.
"You are very good!" Li Shuwen put down his hand and nodded slightly: "I heard from the palace, when you fought with him before, you were still bright and strong, but I didn't expect to practice dark energy so quickly, and you have reached the point of perfection." And your divine power is also very rare, and if you put it in ancient times, you must be a battlefield tiger general!"
"It's just brute force, and the seniors praised it falsely. Xia Yang lowered his posture and exclaimed: "On the contrary, it is the senior, and the kung fu has been practiced to the point of being superb, which is really admirable." ”
Li Shuwen nodded, and his respectful attitude was quite useful, so he casually pointed out: "Although your divine power makes you infinitely useful, but also because of this strength, your subtle control and transformation of strength is more difficult than ordinary people, in other words, if you want to practice boxing to strength, it is more difficult than ordinary people!"
As soon as he said it, Xia Yang understood that it was this truth, and hurriedly humbly asked: "Senior, what should I do?"
"It's up to you, everyone's path is different, you have to get out of it yourself. ”
Li Shuwen shook his head and said: "If you want to enter the transformation, you must first ask for strength, and then practice the marrow, but this is not enough, you must also see yourself, see the world, and see all living beings, before you can practice invincible boxing skills!"
Listening to his mysterious words, Xia Yang was a little thoughtful, and quietly lowered his head and thought about it.
"Don't think too much about it. Li Shuwen interrupted his thinking and said: "Since ancient times, practicing martial arts is nothing more than a word, enlightenment! Taoism talks about asking the heart and cultivating the mind, and Buddhism talks about seeing the mind. ”
"Finding strength in moving?"
Hearing this familiar sentence, Xia Yang seemed to understand something, so he bowed and said, "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”
"Looking at your appearance, you should have just practiced Yi Bone and Tendon, and you haven't started to Yi Marrow yet, right?" Li Shuwen said again.
Yi bone, easy tendon, and easy marrow are the three practice methods of boxing, which correspond to the bright and dark strength, and these basic truths have been told to him by Chen Zhen and Huo Tingen. However, how to change the marrow, they did not teach, it seems that there is no method of practicing the marrow in the Jingwu Sect, and even Huo Yuanjia is only the peak of dark energy, and he has not entered the transformation.
Xia Yang was silent for a moment before asking, "Dare to ask seniors, how should Yi Marrow practice?"
He knew that he was asking a presumptuous question, and he would not necessarily get an answer. Generally speaking, the real practice in boxing is the secret of each sect, and even the disciples of the sect are not necessarily taught lightly, not to mention that he is still an outsider.
Li Shuwen didn't speak, but looked at him straight for a while before he said, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"
