Chapter 13: Introduction to Initiation
In the autumn season, the outer forest of Xiangyang City is dyed, and the sky is clear. The city is bustling and vibrant.
Chen Cheng, who had just escaped from the Yuan Kingdom, felt as if he had suddenly returned to the world from hell. In Zhang Sanwu's limited life, he has never seen such a peaceful and prosperous city.
After entering Xiangyang City, Chen Cheng realized that the three people who had just left were Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Guo Fu. This is one of the few people he is most familiar with in Jin Yong's time and space. And Lord Na Lu is naturally the local capital of Lu Wende.
Chen Cheng asked a little excitedly: "Miss Ma, do you know Guo Jing and Guo Daxia?" ”
Ma Chunhua nodded: "I naturally know, the legend is that he is a disciple of the Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong." ”
Qu Feiyan also said: "He is my uncle." ”
Her father Qu Lingfeng is Huang Rong's senior brother, her name is Aunt Huang Rong, and she is naturally called Aunt Guo Jing. Of course, this was theoretical, and in fact she had never met these two people at all. Speaking of this, she thought of her father again, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Chen Cheng knew what she was thinking in her heart, took her little hand, and said, "Sister, I'll sing to you." ”
Qu Feiyan had heard his "Insects Flying" before, and he was quite touched, so he nodded.
Who knew that this time Chen Cheng opened his mouth to sing:
"It's my fault that I didn't be able to mature myself. There are so many wounds, and I am not afraid of pain anymore.
"It's nothing, after I turn around, I will practice the Divine Skill of Protecting the Body! When I see cockroaches, I'm not afraid. I'm more nervous, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid.
"Timidity only makes you more emaciated, and paralysis is also a sign of bravery. I'm not afraid to sleep alone, and I have the courage to be a quilt. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid No matter how dark the night is, I should not be able to see, and the sun will soon appear. ”
Qu Feiyan heard the front, and felt a little touched. But when she heard the body protection skill, she suddenly felt weird, and then the sight of the cockroach directly made her laugh.
Ma Chunhua felt that there was no such singing in this world, she had traveled to many places in the Song, Yuan, and Qing dynasties, and had never heard such singing. only said that Chen Cheng was coaxing the child to mess around. But after hearing it, she felt that it was being sung to herself. It sounded like a strange tune.
Singing songs, the three of them first found an inn to stay, and then asked someone to be a messenger to report to the Pegasus Dart Bureau. Chen Cheng also told Ma Chunhua about his plans, first sent Qu Feiyan back to the old mansion in Hengshan City, and then he was ready to go to Lin'an to find an opportunity to serve the country.
His idea was to stop the invasion of the Yuan and Qing dynasties, and the simplest thing was to go directly to the center, or have the ability to influence the center. Then, with the knowledge of the traverser and a small amount of the Heavenly Eye of Jin Yong's time and space and ancient history, this goal is achieved.
Ma Chunhua usually follows her father, everything is arranged by her father, and she is not a particularly assertive person. Now that he always feels a little weak in the face of Chen Cheng, he naturally responds directly.
After she finished, she began to worry, should she follow Chen Cheng to Lin'an?
For a while, she felt that she had only known Chen Cheng for two or three days, and she had not reached this friendship. It's normal to think like this for a while.
It was Qu Feiyan who reminded her that she remembered Chen Cheng's injury, so she had to let him stay in Xiangyang first and heal his injuries before going on the road. Of course, Chen Cheng is as good as a stream.
With a place to stay, the three of them are not short of money, of course Chen Cheng took everyone to buy clothes. He didn't say it himself, he was in tatters and really deserved to change into new clothes. The two girls did not change their clothes.
When he arrived at the clothing store, Chen Cheng wanted to choose a white coat. He thought that the protagonist should naturally be the handsome boy of the white-clothed Shengxue, although he didn't have the protagonist's life, it was always good to be close in appearance.
As a result, Ma Chunhua chose a green shirt for him. Since it was chosen by Ma Chunhua, he naturally had no reason to refuse. In the other case, Qu Feiyan chose a yellow shirt for him.
Go back and change your clothes, and the three of them meet again. Ma Chunhua is wearing a lake blue power suit, and she is still dressed as a Jianghu guest. Qu Feiyan changed into a white skirt that dragged the ground and looked at the immortals. This was chosen by Chen Cheng, and of course his sister is a little princess.
Qu Feiyan said with a smile: "I finally have a change of clothes." Before, our clothes were soaked in the water and smelled dirty. Unfortunately, we didn't have to change it at that time, so we had to take off our clothes, wear only small clothes, and dry them over the fire. It's good that you passed out at the time, otherwise we would have had to wear wet clothes all the time. ”
It turned out that the two of them had taken off their coats and baked them in the cabin. Chen Cheng didn't think of anything further, but Ma Chunhua's face turned red when she heard this, and she was so ashamed that she didn't know how to put her hands.
Chen Cheng thought of the other party's embarrassment, and quickly changed the topic: "People rely on clothes, and now that I have changed my clothes, I definitely don't look like a farmer." ”
When Ma Chunhua heard this, she looked at him seriously. I felt that he was very handsome, and whispered: "So you are so good-looking." After saying that, I also felt shy, and my face turned even redder.
Chen Cheng wanted to say that Ma Chunhua was more beautiful, which was also a way he felt was a reasonable way to compliment the young woman. But I was worried that such a statement in this era would seem frivolous, so I had to say: "Yes, so I am a brother and sister to non-smoke." "It's always reasonable to joke with little girls. And this is still his sister-in-law.
The three of them went downstairs to eat, and talked about the dangers they had had on the North Shore before. Chen Cheng didn't want to have such an experience again, and wanted to have some self-preservation, so he said to Ma Chunhua: "Miss Ma, you know martial arts, or you can teach me martial arts." ”
On the rivers and lakes, it is taboo to learn other people's martial arts without an apprenticeship.
Even if the two have an extremely close relationship, like Ma Chunhua, who still has a master (father) on top, she can't decide to pass on the gong by herself. If her father is here, she is afraid that she will turn her face on the spot, and it is even possible to abolish Chen Cheng.
But Ma Chunhua is left ear in and right ear out of this rule, just as a rebellion against her father, and it is completely inappropriate.
She herself often peeks at other people's exercises. It wasn't like she wanted to steal the teacher. She wasn't very interested in practicing martial arts or anything, she was just curious, and by the way, she wanted to see if there was a role better than her father. As a result, the people who can be peeked at by her, where is the martial arts?
At this moment, Chen Cheng asked her for martial arts, and she felt very normal, so she immediately agreed: "That's good, anyway, we still have to stay in Xiangyang for a while." I'll teach you tomorrow. We went out of town to find a place where no one was. ”
Chen Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Miss Ma." ”
Chen Cheng called her Miss Ma, which was actually completely in line with the etiquette of this era.
But Ma Chunhua now feels quite strange about Chen Cheng, she doesn't want to be too close to the other party, and she doesn't want the other party to be estranged from her, so she said, "Otherwise, you can call me Ma Chunhua." ”
In ordinary people's homes, it is naturally very inappropriate to let a man call his girlfriend name or something. But people in the rivers and lakes don't pay attention to this. Even if he is as arrogant as Sun Zhongjun, it is reasonable to call him by his name. She's not going to get mad about that.
"Ma Chunhua." At this time, a woman passing by them burst out laughing, and glanced at her male companion with a look of mockery and disdain in her eyes. This name does seem a little too villager.
Ma Chunhua naturally heard the ridicule, and her face was both angry and embarrassed.
Chen Cheng glanced at the young man and woman strangely, and said in a long voice: "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." The beauty of this name is indeed known only to the nobles, and the laity will never understand it. After he finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other, and they were a little red-eared, and they hurried away with their heads down.
Ma Chunhua was very happy when she heard this. She also knew that her father didn't know a few big characters, and she definitely didn't have any elegance when choosing a name. But Chen Cheng explained her name like this, which made her a little happy.
I am glad that this poem elevates her name, and I am glad that Chen Cheng has never looked down on her, and is willing to stand up for her. She asked what the poem was like and memorized it. thought that next time someone laughed at her, she would also recite it proudly.
But think about it again, if you are with Chen Cheng, do you still need to carry it yourself? Will Chen Cheng always be with her?
The next day, the three of them chose a secluded and open spot on the outskirts of the city. Ma Chunhua began to formally teach Chen Cheng's martial arts.
Ma Chunhua's martial arts came from Chaquan. "Tan, Cha, Hua, Hong", to call the four masters of the North Boxing, referring to the four schools of boxing in the Tan Leg, Cha Boxing, Hua Boxing, and Hongmen, it is widely spread in the north, and anyone who practices boxing knows a little bit about it, and it can be regarded as the introductory kung fu in boxing.
So what she knows is just a superficial entry.
Even if this kind of boxing technique is practiced to the peak, it is only an ordinary middle and upper level, but I am afraid that it is not comparable to Sun Zhongjun, who is proficient in Huashan swordsmanship. And Sun Zhongjun is more powerful than her in the Huashan faction. The Huashan faction is only a sect between the second-rate and the first-class in this martial arts.
Chen Cheng first learned martial arts, and his starting point was so low that it could be regarded as ridiculous to those who knew how to do it. It's just that he hasn't read Jin Yong much, and he doesn't know where to look for those great opportunities. If he doesn't take the initiative to cut off his beard, those opportunities will naturally be reserved for those who have great luck, where will it be his turn?
Fortunately, he had only learned a little taekwondo before, and his knowledge was low. Now that I see Ma Chunhua's boxing, I only feel decent, so I learn quite seriously.
The comprehension of learning taekwondo also played a very good role here, and after a few days, even Ma Chunhua praised him for his talent.
"Really? So how long will it take for me to become successful? Hearing the praise, Chen Cheng was also a little happy.
Ma Chunhua thought for a while: "Dacheng's words, it's still early. My dad hasn't made it yet. But if you persist every day, when you reach my father's age, you will definitely be able to match my father's. ”
After these days, her mentality has also adjusted a lot, and the days with Chen Cheng feel that she is not happy compared to the previous darts. So when it comes to Ma Xingkong, she doesn't have obvious melancholy.
Chen Cheng was stunned. What a mediocre little supporting role in martial arts. He needs to be around fifty years old to reach this level, so what kind of martial arts is he still practicing? Otherwise, if he went to study seriously and took the imperial examination to become a jinshi, I am afraid that it would be easier.
