Chapter 67 There is a city named Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River

Ergou jumped out of the ring with the silver, he had already made up his mind in his heart, even if he starved to death on the side of the road in the back, he would never spend the ten taels of silver.

When he finishes this trip in the future, he will be able to get evidence when he goes back to meet and brag with those brothers and friends.

With the silver in his hand, Ergou returned to the old man, and when he got closer, he found that the old man was not as happy as Ergou himself expected, but instead boasted a face.

"Hey, what kind of expression are you, my apprentice and I won the competition, you don't say a word of praise, but don't make it look like I lost!"

"Huh, win, you're going to be embarrassed to say you won?"

The old man's face was still ugly, and without any further words, he turned and walked into the inn.

The inn is not big, but it is not small, the lobby is sparsely packed with guests, the old man came in and found a vacant seat to sit down, followed by the second dog to sit down opposite the old man, looking at him angrily.

"Old man, if you don't make it clear to me today, I'm not done, how can I not win. ”

"I think it's better to forget it, I'm afraid that after I finish speaking, you will be ashamed of yourself. ”

The old man's tone was a little frivolous, but at this moment, the second dog was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

"Old man, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, I have won the above board, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Looking at Jiang Ergou, who was not giving up, the corners of the old man's mouth smiled contemptuously.

"Before the third grade, although the foreign family was strong, it couldn't be far away, so it couldn't fight for a long time. The man who came to the stage before knew that he had to wait for time to win, but what about you, if you didn't see that you were a child and despised you, you would definitely lose within the first ten moves!"

"No, no. Old man, there is no evidence for what you say, at most it can be regarded as my lack of combat experience, and I will not use my own strengths to attack the weaknesses of others, but in the end, I still won. ”

In fact, Ergou already understood in his heart that the old man was telling the truth, but he couldn't just admit that his skills were not as good as others, so he Jiang Ergou would have to lose face when he walked the rivers and lakes in the future.

"No, that's fine, then let's move on. ”

Looking at Jiang Ergou who shook his head vigorously, the old man didn't plan to let him go, and planned to teach him a hard lesson.

"Although that person's kung fu is a real five-grade, but the tiger fist, he is far from being able to say that he has the essence of three points, at most he has a five-point shape, this kind of kung fu is not a real master among the five grades, and it is the upper middle level of the sky. ”

"Don't talk yet. ”

Ergou just wanted to interject but couldn't speak, and the old man continued after drinking a cup of hot tea from the shopkeeper.

"Let's talk about your situation, although you are a five-rank that has just broken through, and there is still some distance between you and that person, the sword technique is enough to pull the gap between the two back, and even give you a lot of advantages. ”

"And the state of mind, that person naturally has never seen what the state of mind is, of course, you kid still don't know what the state of mind is, but you have opened the door by chance, and you have seen the scenery inside the door, but why are you still as stupid as a pig and don't know how to use it? ”

Ergou thought about what the old man said carefully, and found that it was right, and then thought about it several times, of course, this is not to say that Ergou realized his mistake and was ready to summarize his experience or anything, but wanted to find a loophole to refute the old man.

It's a pity, how could the vicious vision that the old man had cultivated over the decades leave him a chance?

Jiang Ergou just wanted to say something like "I won anyway" to save face, but when he looked up, he saw Lie Honggang, who had just competed with him, coming over, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Old man, that person came over just now, remember to save some face for me. ”

After finishing speaking, Ergou hurriedly pretended to be casual, and in order to avoid being nervous, he also picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"In Xiaxingyimen, disciple Lie Hong has just met his predecessors. ”

The man didn't seem to see Jiang Ergou, so he just saluted the old man, and what about the old man? He was very polite to the people who took the initiative to call him senior, even more polite than his own apprentice.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea!"

The old man picked up a teacup and poured a cup for Lie Honggang.

"This apprentice of the predecessor has good martial arts, but he has no actual combat experience. ”

After sitting down, he seemed to have just seen Jiang Ergou, and then said to the old man, it seems that even if he loses the competition, Lie Honggang still treats Ergou as a child.

As for Lie Honggang's words, the old man obviously didn't take it to heart, but just smiled indifferently.

I know the tired character of my own apprentices, and his practice has always been two days of fishing and three days of drying nets.

"Actually, I came to meet my seniors this time because I saw you shaking your head at my boxing skills when I was competing with your apprentice, so I wanted to come over and ask for advice, could it be that my seniors also know boxing?"

Seeing that the old man didn't answer and just shook his head, Lie Honggang continued, throwing out his true purpose for coming.

"I haven't learned boxing, but all kinds of martial arts in the world, whether it is an outsider or an insider, in the end, they can't escape the word martial arts. ”

The old man's words made Lie Honggang's eyes have a surprise color, and he didn't know that he didn't know that the real masters in the secret were all hidden in the city.

"The seniors are high, I don't know what the seniors have about my boxing skills, and I hope that the seniors can give me advice. ”

Lie Honggang said sincerely.

"I can't say it! I can just give you a little advice, I see that when you are boxing, you are quite tiger in your running and moving, I think it is the result of long-term observation of tiger habits. ”

"Seniors Gao Jian, I Xingyimen to animals as a teacher, created a lot of boxing, tiger boxing is just one of them, what else in the sect monkey boxing, mantis boxing, crane boxing, etc., in order to facilitate the disciples to have better results when practicing, so I raised a lot of animals in the sect. ”

The old man made a look of a master in the world and said to Lie Honggang.

"That being the case, it means that you are on the wrong path, although there is a tiger between the fists, but there is no tiger power. ”

Lie Honggang lowered his head and thought to no avail, and looked up at the old man with a puzzled look.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you think of yourself as a real tiger!?"

The old man's tone was very light, but it sounded like thunder in Lie Honggang's ears.

He kept recalling that sentence in his mind.

"Do you think of yourself as a real tiger!?"

He has been practicing boxing for ten years, and in the past ten years, he has squatted beside the tiger day and night to observe its habits in order to practice tiger boxing, and then he simply slept with it.

But he has never thought of himself as a person, a person who learns and imitates the movements of tigers, and he has never thought of himself as a tiger!

I don't know when his boxing skills have not improved, and he has been stuck in the realm of five grades and cannot be saved, this time he went down the mountain, not to find a way to break through himself.

I don't know how much time has passed, when Lie Hong just woke up from the state of settling, it was already late at night, and there was only one sleepy shopkeeper guarding the counter, and the old man and the second dog had of course disappeared, and there was a high probability that they had gone back to their rooms to sleep.

"Thank you seniors for your advice!"

Without too much delay, after Lie Hong just whispered, he stood up and ran out of the inn, he wanted to rush back to the sect overnight, because he felt that most of the disciples and even some elders in the sect had taken the wrong path.

All along, they have been trying to figure out how to get closer to those animals, and it is because of this that they have walked into the misunderstanding.

Things are dead, fists are dead, but people are alive. I used to always want people to get close to boxing, but I never thought about how to make boxing more suitable for people.

This time, the words of the old man that Lie Hong just brought back will be a big change within their sect, and it will even make their sect, which has gone the way of a foreign family, find a way to rise!

"Found a way, I've just found a way!"

In the darkness of the night, the sturdy man ran as happily as a four- or five-year-old child......

The moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping.

Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship.

This poem came from the hand of the poet Zhang Ji of the previous dynasty, and it is rumored that Zhang Ji entered Beijing to take the exam at that time, and when he returned to his hometown, he arrived at the Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu in the middle of the night.

Gusu City, as the state city of Suzhou, is naturally the number one city in the whole world, plus the Huai River that runs through the entire Gusu City and even the entire Jiangnan, then its name as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River is solid.

But the Hanshan Temple is different, before Zhang Ji's poem came out, it can only be regarded as a small temple, and the fame is not big enough, every New Year's holiday, the big families in Gusu City would rather run a little more, but also go to the slightly larger temples around to incense, this Hanshan Temple is only the local people to worship the Buddha.

But after Zhang Ji wrote the poem, this Hanshan Temple ushered in a great change, first Zhang Ji's poem spread throughout Suzhou at a very fast speed.

There are many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, so all of a sudden, famous sentences about Hanshan Temple came out like a spring.

Then, when these classic poems spread all over the Zhao Kingdom, which was still the world of the royal family at that time, it set off a wave of visiting Hanshan Temple in the whole country, and countless migrants gathered here, they either sighed at the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, or told that they had no ambition in their lives, but they would not hesitate to show their talents in this Hanshan Temple.

Even later, this small Hanshan Temple also alarmed the royal family, and the reigning emperor of the Great Zhao State took this opportunity to come to the south to find out what he had worked hard for.

He took a seven-story dragon boat as the head boat, and then accompanied by ninety-eight five-story high-rise ceremonial boats, making up the number of ninety-nine supreme, and this trip to Jiangnan can be regarded as completely laying the root of his royal family......

Today's Hanshan Temple is no longer the original broken house, after I don't know how many times to repair and expand, now the area of Hanshan Temple has reached an astonishing number of thousands of acres.

Now, the world's premier Hanshan Temple is quietly located on the edge of the Huai River, looking at the liveliness, prosperity, and fireworks in the city of Gusu......

"Old man, the one in front of you is Gusu City!"

On the calm surface of the Huai River, an ordinary manned boat, the voice of the two dogs came from above.

"Hehehe, you must be the first time to come to our Gusu City! I can guarantee that you will never want to leave after you have come, if you are just passing by, then leave quickly, so as not to fall into this gentle township, and you will not be able to leave at that time." ”

It was not the old man who answered, but the boatman who supported the boat, and when he spoke, he always had a warm smile on his face, but when he talked about Gusu City, he couldn't help but be more proud.

Ergou happened to be at night when they came, but the lights in Gusu City were bright.

What a water town in the south of the Yangtze River! What a city that never sleeps in Gusu!
