Chapter XVII

After Cheng Yunde left, Lu Yiping pondered for a while, and then sent someone to call Zhou Bochang. After Zhou Bochang came, he ordered Zhou Bochang to arrange a few people to keep an eye on the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, mainly to pay attention to Yuan Xi's movements, and specially instructed him to be careful and not to make the Martial Arts Pavilion suspicious.

Although Zhou Bochang had doubts in his heart and didn't know why the general gave such an order, as a subordinate, he knew that he shouldn't ask more, so he took the order and began to make arrangements.

Ordered someone to replace the tiger skin, Lu Yiping sat on the big seat, felt the texture of the tiger skin, thought about it, and ordered someone to call Zheng Shuyuan.

After Uncle Zheng entered the tent, he saw the general sitting in the camp tent.

After a closer look, he found that the animal skin of the general's seat had been replaced by a tiger skin, and he remembered the tiger skin that his party had not bought at that time, but he did not know why the young man insisted on not selling it at that time.

Obeying the general's orders, getting up to receive the order, Zheng Shuyuan glanced at the tiger skin again, and only felt that it was such a coincidence, but the young lady wanted to buy it or not, but the general got one.

Seeing that he didn't quit after receiving the order, as if he had something to say, Lu Yiping opened his mouth and asked,

"Something?"

Zheng Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then gave up his hand to retreat, but Lu Yiping said again,

"If you have something to say, can't you tell me? After following me for so long, why don't you dare to say anything?"

When Uncle Zheng heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed his hand,

"Yes, General, the subordinates saw that there was a new tiger skin on the general's seat, so they were a little distracted. ”

As soon as he heard Zheng Shuyuan mention this tiger skin, Lu Yiping became interested, he stood up and stretched out his hand to greet Zheng Shuyuan,

"Shuyuan, come over and take a look, how about this tiger skin? ”

Zheng Shuyuan stepped forward, checked it carefully, and rubbed it a few times with his hand.

I sighed in my heart, it was indeed a good tiger skin.

Hearing that it was sent by the owner of the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, he remembered that his eldest brother told him that the young man happened to be a chair martial artist in the Yunde Martial Arts Pavilion, and at the same time told him that the young man's skills were good, quite good.

This is interesting, I'm afraid that the general's tiger skin is the one that the young man doesn't sell, although the general likes the tiger skin, but if the young lady bought this skin, the general is afraid that he will be more happy, thinking of this, he said,

"Congratulations to the general, get a favorite thing, if the subordinates are not mistaken, this tiger skin, the young lady wanted to buy it and give it to the general, but the young man insisted on refusing to sell it, saying that it was useful, so the young lady retreated and bought the bear skin to give to the general. ”

When Lu Yiping heard it, it was about the mysterious young man, so he said,

"It turned out to be his thing, but for some reason it was sent to me by the owner of the pavilion, and the owner of the pavilion did not mention to me where he got this tiger skin. ”

Caressing the tiger skin, he thought for a moment and asked,

"Shuyuan, did you reveal your identity at that time?"

After hearing this, Zheng Shuyuan shook his head and said,

"We didn't mention where he came from, and the boy didn't ask. ”

After Lu Yiping motioned for Zheng Shuyuan to retreat, he sat in the camp and fell into deep thought.

Uncle Zheng went out of the general's tent, so he went back to clean up, and the general asked him to go to Wang Lizhuang to inquire about the information of the young man and his master.

In an eventful season, Lu Yiping had to be cautious.

Lu Yiping didn't associate his daughter's assassination with the young man's skin selling, after all, all this was so coincidental.

After thinking about it, he felt that he was suspicious, and that the gang of thieves and this young man should not be all the way.

However, the origin of this young man is also doubtful, and he came to Pingnan City alone, in case he didn't know what mission he would have, and his master was the one behind the scenes.

The two most terrifying words in life are "what if" and "unknown".

In any case, this teenager had to be guarded, after all, his existence already posed a possible threat to himself.

Perhaps in his master's plan, the most suitable place for such an extraordinary person to come is his Zhennan Army.

Lu Yiping was even wondering if this young man's master had told him that it would be very easy to come to the army to make a living and be promoted in the army with his ability.

It would be a terrible thing to think of having such a person around me.

It's not that he, Lu Yiping, is afraid of death, but his life and death have a lot to do with it.

————————————

Cao Renwei and He Yijin left the Yunde Martial Arts Hall with a pale face, because the returning Cheng Yunde announced in public that the two of them no longer had a master-apprentice relationship with him.

If the two of them didn't go so far, Cheng Yunde would have to get by and go with them.

I didn't expect these two people to really bring people to bully them, so don't blame him for being unsympathetic.

This is tantamount to being expelled from the division in public.

Cao Renwei knew that he couldn't take advantage, so he didn't say much, and took people away as soon as he flicked his sleeves, and threw down a sentence when he left,

"Since you are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust, I don't owe you anything all these years. ”

Cheng clearly saw that his father's body, who had been holding his back and chest up, shook for a moment, and he hurriedly stepped forward and supported his father.

Zhao Qianjun walked up to the master, and Cheng Yunde saw that he was carrying a package on his back, so he asked,

"Qianjun, this is going back?"

Although Zhao Qianjun was also angry in his heart, he knew that if he mentioned this matter again, it would be tantamount to poking the master's heart, so he said,

"Well, Master, when the matter is done, I won't stay longer, and I'll take the time to see you more in the future. ”

Cheng Yunde nodded and waved his hand.

Zhao Qianjun saluted his master and walked towards the gate, and Yuan Xi saw that Uncle Zhao was gone, so he followed him to see him off.

Cheng Yunde said to Kong Lixiang and the others,

"Go ahead. ”

Then he said to the success beside him,

"Fei'er, follow your father to the study. ”

Cheng was a little tired from listening to his father's words.

On the way to the study, Cheng Yunde asked if he had the time to ask Yuan Xi for advice on the way of martial arts, and Cheng nodded his head.

The young man worships the strong and asks Yuan Xi for martial arts, and Cheng is very willing, and Yuan Xi communicates with Cheng right and wrong in addition to being strange.

After all, the father who is right and wrong is the master of the first hall, and Yuan Xi didn't think that he could dictate other people's martial arts.

So he said to Cheng right and wrong, and the two exchanged martial arts.

The two did not exchange cultivation methods for internal strength.

First, the internal exercises of each family are secrets that are not transmitted;

Second, this is really not something that can be improved by communication, and the improvement of internal strength depends on one's own qualifications, second, the merits of the exercises, and third, the accumulation of practitioners.

Yuan Xi let Cheng play a set of his palms.

This set of palms called Kaiyan Palm is indeed a set of strong and powerful palms in Yuan Xi's opinion, but when it comes out, the momentum is still slightly insufficient.

Then he stretched out a hand and signaled Cheng Fei to use his internal force to resist him.

The two palms were facing each other, and Cheng Cheng used the firmament energy that his father had taught him, and Yuan Xi told him to just use his strength.

Cheng Shifei only felt that his palm was pressed against a wall, and no matter how hard he tried, it was a feeling of not moving at all.

Yuan Xi felt the strength transmitted by Cheng Zhifei's arm, and he competed with the same strength, so that he had a rough estimate of the level of Cheng Zhengfei's internal force.

About his five successes, he did not use more internal force, so as not to accidentally hurt right and wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, he told Cheng right and wrong that he used an internal force of almost the same strength as Cheng right and wrong to hit this set of open rock palms.

Cheng Shifei didn't expect that after he only fought once, Brother Yuan would be able to remember this set of palms, nodded and stood aside to watch quietly.

Yuan Xi recalled the palm routine that had just become right and wrong, and then began to do it.

Cheng Shifei felt that Brother Yuan's opening of the rock palm seemed to be different from his own, but after a closer look, it was a rock opening palm, but in the hands of Brother Yuan, this set of palm techniques became strong and powerful, and it really felt like opening a mountain and breaking stones.

After Yuan Xi closed the momentum, Cheng Shifei asked suspiciously,

"Brother Yuan, do you really have to use the same strength as me?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said,

"Yes, I just tested your internal force, I have a general understanding of the depth of your internal force, and I don't remember some movements too clearly, so I hit by my own feelings. As for the strength, it is indeed controlled to the same extent as your internal force. ”

Cheng Zhengfei scratched his head, didn't believe it, and muttered,

"Brother Yuan, don't lie to me, then why am I not as aggressive as you, and I have an invincible momentum?"

Yuan Xi said,

"Your set of palms is called Kaiyan Palm, and you take a fierce path, and every palm you play strives to break the earth and open the stele and split the rock. Then the key is in the release of your force. I believe that when you learned boxing, Cheng Shibo also told you that power should be released in a concentrated manner. I saw you slap before, and the strength was not small, but most of the power was wasted on the action, and when you actually attacked, the power did not achieve the effect it should have, so you felt that my palm was more powerful than yours. ”

Cheng Shifei didn't speak, frowning and pondering, as if this was indeed the case.

But even if you know what's going on, you have to know how to practice.

Practicing martial arts is not something that can be practiced overnight, and when it is right or wrong, he will make an appointment with Yuan Xi, and if he is free, he will ask Yuan Xi to help him more, and Yuan Xi will agree.

The two entered the study, and Cheng Yunde did not mention what happened just now, but asked about Cheng Shifei and Yuan Xi's process of asking martial arts.

Cheng Zhifei told his father about it, and when he heard him say that Yuan Xi gave Cheng right and wrong to test his internal strength, Cheng Yunde asked,

"Fei'er, how do you feel about facing your big brother Yuan?"

Cheng Shifei listened to his father's question, so he pressed the ground with one palm and said,

"It's like I'm pushing a big wall, and I can't push it no matter how hard I try. ”

Cheng Yunde then asked,

"Then did you feel your big brother Yuan's power pushing over?"

Cheng shook his head, and then said,

"Strange to say, when my father tested my internal strength in the past, I could more or less feel my father's power transmitted, because my father's internal strength must be stronger than mine, and it must be to collect my strength so as not to hurt me by mistake. But Brother Yuan gave me the feeling that a wall was there to block me, and I couldn't push it, and it wouldn't hurt me. ”

Cheng Yunde pondered for a moment, and then said,

"I didn't expect that your eldest brother Yuan is young, and his control of internal forces has reached the stage of retracting and releasing freely. What's even more terrifying is that his perception is so strong, through the power transmitted by your palm, he can use the same force as you to compete with you, so you have that feeling of pushing the wall. ”

After a pause, he said,

"When it comes to the control of internal forces, he is much higher than his father. ”

Then he asked,

"And what did he say about your palm?"

Cheng Shifei told his father that after he hit the palm again, Brother Yuan used the same internal force as himself to hit it again, but the palm power was much stronger than his own.

Cheng Yunde asked,

"You're saying he said you have a problem with the release of power, right?"

Cheng nodded right and wrong. And then said,

"Brother Yuan is really powerful, I hit Brother Yuan once I beat our Kaiyan palm technique, but he said that he didn't remember some movements, so he moved as he wished and passed. ”

Cheng Yunde looked at his son, and then said,

"Fei'er, remember, the Kaiyan palm method is not ours, and this firmament is not ours, it is from Jizhou Cangyanmen. Although my father left the school, I can't forget this. When my father went down the mountain, I asked the teacher if he could pass on the martial arts of the sect, and my father's teacher told me that the broom cannot be cherished by itself, but it must be remembered that the martial artist is a killing weapon, and he must not pass it on to the wrong person. That's why my father stayed away from Jizhou and came to Bazhou to settle down, and he only opened a martial arts gym. Remember, no matter how big the business of the martial arts hall is, we can't open a sect, unless you, or your descendants, have the ability to create another martial arts as the foundation of the sect. ”

Cheng nodded heavily, and then said,

"I see!"

Cheng Yunde talked about his own inheritance when he taught Cheng Fei martial arts, including his descendants, and also told them this rule.

Therefore, even if the two disciples who set up their own doors went to open a martial arts hall, they did not dare to break this rule, except for the master's side, they were also afraid that the people from Cangyanmen would come to the door.

Cheng was an unintentional slip of the tongue just now, and Cheng Yunde reiterated it again, lest his son be complacent when he has some achievements in the future, forget his own words, and do that kind of thing that violates his teacher.

Seeing that Cheng Cheng had carefully written down his words, he continued,

"A few days ago, when you asked your father about the realm of boxing, my father told you that the so-called technique is for us to learn, and your eldest brother Yuan is a successful learner, so you can roughly know the routine when you hit Kaiyan Palm, which is the realm that only people of his level can achieve. The real battle is not a trick you and I try, so you come and go, this is just for a practice of words. There is a definite number of one move and one style, but there is no definite number of punches and stabbing swords. All play according to the routine, where is there any victory or defeat. You have been practicing moves for a long time now, and it can be said that every move is engraved in your mind, but your martial arts skills have still not reached the realm of entering the house, that is, as your eldest brother Yuan said to you, the use of power is not skilled enough. This blames me, I am reluctant to let you endure hardships, and when I feed you, I have a lot of hands, and you have no sense of oppression, so your strength is not concentrated enough. In addition, because I feed the tricks and shoot according to the routine, you have never gotten rid of the routine, and you are not free enough. ”

Cheng Yunde stood up. Cheng Shifei saw his father get up, so he stood up and stood with his hands in his hands.

Cheng Yunde walked up to Cheng Shifei and suddenly slapped Cheng Shifei on his left chest.

Cheng Shifei didn't expect his father to make a move, so he couldn't think about it in a hurry, and the scene of Brother Yuan and Sister Guan Guan fighting flashed in his mind, so he bent down and leaned back, and then he had an idea, and he quickly turned sideways and attacked his father with his right leg.

Cheng Yunde didn't expect his son to be able to dodge, and his palm power was supposed to close in the end, and after such a pause, his son's offensive had already come.

But he is not that Lu Guanju, he is so easy to trip, and with a knee lift, he blocked Cheng Zhifei's right leg.

Cheng Shifei didn't think about how this trick could make his father, but it was just to get out of trouble for himself. At the moment when his right leg attacked his father, he had slapped the ground with one palm, exerted force backwards, and at the same time, with the help of his father's blocking power in his right leg, he turned over and stood up to box, looking at his father.

Cheng Yunde did not take advantage of the situation to attack, otherwise, when Cheng Zhifei retreated to defend, he could bully him and attack the vital point of his upper body, after all, the strength of the two was very different.

However, he was very satisfied with the non-defensive action just now, and it was much better than before, so he asked,

"Yes, there is progress, you don't have this action in the palm technique you learned, isn't it also very useful!"

Cheng Shifei was also frightened by his mental move just now, and he didn't expect that he could dodge his father's unexpected blow so much, so he said happily,

"This is what I saw when Brother Yuan and Sister Guan Guan were competing, just now you made a palm too fast, and I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, so I thought of using this move to hide. If I had learned what I had learned, I would have blocked with my left arm and attacked with my right palm, but it seemed to work as well. ”

Cheng Yunde nodded and continued,

That's right, the real confrontation is not all based on what you have learned and what you have practiced. The way you dodged just now is not to say how good this move is, but that this awareness is very good. There is no best martial art, only the right moves, which can save your life, retreat from the enemy, and kill the enemy, are all good moves. ”

Cheng Yunde felt that his son was not far from entering the house, and he was in a good mood, patted his son on the shoulder, and then said,

"Martial arts, there is no shortcut, it is a diligent word. And after this diligent word, a change of word should be added. I Ching has clouds, poor will change, change will be successful. Martial arts are ever-changing, just like if you want to eat well, you are given food, fruits, vegetables, and meat first. You cook it with water, you are full, and you will not be hungry. But if we eat like this all the time, we will get tired, so should we find a way to do it differently? This is the change. Martial arts practice is not a matter of practicing one move and one style thousands of times and then succeeding, but when you disrupt these moves and use them casually, you will achieve something. Son, you still have to ask your eldest brother for advice on the strength control of your Kaiyan palm, after all, Daddy is your dearest, and he is too merciful between shots. If you didn't have Brother Yuan here, I wouldn't have to let a few of your senior brothers help feed you. But for the sake of Daddy's face, they may have difficulty coming up with all their might, so you have to seize this opportunity. ”

Cheng nodded his head,

"Got it, Daddy!"

Then he whispered,

"Daddy, what's going on today?"

Cheng Yunde shook his head, and then said softly,

"It's over, just let him go, it's not like Daddy hasn't given them a chance, I let people let out the wind and say that our martial arts hall has a new chair martial artist, and I also want them to think more, don't do this kind of rebellious thing, it's a pity, alas!"

Cheng Shifei did not add more words on this topic, but asked,

"Daddy, go to the Zhennan Army early in the morning, but what's the matter?"

Cheng Yunde looked at Cheng Zhengfei, and then said,

"I don't know why, General Lu is very worried about your big brother Yuan, especially to his master, so he said hello to me in advance, if nothing else, there may be some actions, so Yuan Xi here, you have more snacks, if Yuan Xi goes out, you go with him as much as possible." ”

When Cheng heard this, he was a little anxious, and said,

"Why? Isn't this spying on Brother Yuan?"

——————————————

Zhang Wuming never imagined that he would be killed by adults for this reason.

The adults themselves came without masks.

Mao Fang stepped forward, looked at the dying Zhang Wuming, and sneered,

"Do you know why you don't have children?"

Zhang Wuming, who was already suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, fell to the ground, curled up, gritted his teeth and glared at Mao Fang who was squatting in front of him, his mouth was open, but he couldn't speak.

Mao Fang just looked at Zhang Wuming like this, and said slowly,

"Do you know about musk? you certainly don't, because adults won't tell you, and how can you, the fellow who doesn't read, know anything like musk? But it doesn't matter, I'll tell you. ”

Mao Fang stood up, sat on the chair that Zhang Wuming was sitting on, cocked Erlang's legs, tapped his fingers on the table, looked at Zhang Wuming who began to twitch with some disdain, and continued,

"Adults can also look down on you, you have a small piece of musk in several of your rooms, and even you have a small piece of musk on you. ”

Zhang Wuming, who was already speechless, endured the pain and freed up one hand to grab the sachet on his body, and after tearing it off, he clutched it so tightly.

This sachet was given to him by an adult, and he always carried it with him.

Mao Fang ignored Zhang Wuming's eyes, they were all about to die, what was the use of staring at them no matter how big they were?

He continued,

"This musk is very tight, with this thing, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to leave a single seed in vain. ”

got up, squatting in front of Zhang Wuming, Mao Fang looked at him with a little sloppy, a little angry, and a little puzzled, and said softly,

"You, you are too greedy, you have forgotten who this Zhuangzi is, not your Master Zhang's, but the adult's, we are just a dog of the adult, and you, but you still want to occupy this wealth and glory, do you really think that the adult does not know how the last steward of the Zhang Mansion died? As long as someone does something for him, it's done. ”

Regardless of whether Zhang Wuming could hear him or not, Mao Fang lay in front of Zhang Wuming's ear, who was already unable to move, and whispered,

"Adults want to get rid of you, it's all a reason, I'll tell you again, the reason why adults chose me is because I was seen by adults when I was reading. ”

Mao Fang got up and shouted,

"Butler, tell someone to drag this eye-catching thing out and find a place to bury it!"
