Chapter 34: A Visit to Wuji

"Master Qiao, I see that your martial arts skills are very unique, both the shadow of Xingyi Fist, but it seems to be more restrained Xingyi Fist's boxing path, which can be described as a school of its own, I wonder if you have the idea of opening a martial arts gym in Maocheng?"

After Qiao Xiu and Hong Yi finished talking, Hong Hu, who came over, suddenly asked.

Obviously, as a senior martial artist, Hong Hu's vision is still okay, and he can see many characteristics of his martial arts from Qiao Xiu's two competitions.

As Qiao Xiu himself introduced, the martial arts he used really seemed to be created by a clever hunter, and they were used to fight beasts.

In this way, the Xingyi Fist created by observing the beast and beast is a bit congenitally restrained by it.

After all, many of the moves in Xingyi Fist are evolved from the habits and movements of fierce beasts, and they are easy to be cracked by the targeted moves in Qiao Xiu's martial arts.

At the same time, because Qiao Xiu's martial arts are all used to deal with beasts and beasts, he has also invisibly absorbed some of the essence of beasts and beasts, and he has the shadow of Xingyi Fist.

"Uh...... Well, because I haven't been practicing martial arts for a long time, I don't have this idea for the time being. ”

Hong Hu's question was a bit unexpected, and it was something that Qiao Xiu didn't expect at all.

It has been less than two months since the global vision, and it has been even shorter for Qiao Xiu to start learning martial arts.

If it weren't for the Dou Qi Breathing Method's breakthrough to make his physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, coupled with the blessing of Lynn's memory experience, Qiao Xiu might not be as good as a rookie who has just learned martial arts now.

So he never thought of opening a martial arts gym to accept apprentices before, but positioned himself as a beginner.

This is also the reason why he wants to go to the martial arts hall to find someone to learn, and the exchange itself is a kind of learning.

It's not that Qiao Xiu is not confident in his strength, on the contrary, before he came to the martial arts hall, he didn't think that his strength would be weaker than the several transcendents in Maocheng.

Before, Qiao Xiu said that he wanted to fight five at a time, although there was an element of joking, but it could also be seen that he was quite confident.

It turned out that Qiao Xiu's self-confidence was right, at least two of the five martial arts hall masters in Maocheng that he had seen were not his opponents, even Hong Hu in his heyday.

Qiao Xiu didn't have the idea of opening a martial arts gym, in the final analysis, because he was not strictly a martial artist, and he knew very little about the martial arts world in the real world.

In this case, Qiao Xiu is like an outsider in the real martial arts circle, how can he have the thoughts of an insider like Hong Hu.

"Well, that's a bit of a pity. ”

In Hong Hu's opinion, with Qiao Xiu's skills and this unique martial art, if he opened a martial arts gym in Maocheng, he would definitely be able to shine.

"Master Hong, let's not talk about the opening of a martial arts gym. Next, I'm going to visit Master Zhang Heng Zhang of the Wuji Martial Arts Hall, I wonder if Master Hong knows anything about him?"

It's a pity that Qiao Xiu doesn't have much feeling about what Hong Hu said, he doesn't want to be here.

Now that the purpose of coming to the Honghu Martial Arts Hall has been reached, he is ready to leave for the next martial arts hall.

Today, he was planning to visit the five martial arts halls of Wanmao City.

"You said Zhang Heng, I have known him for a long time, so I naturally know him better. His martial arts were learned from Zhenwu Mountain, which belonged to the Wuji school of Taoism. Wujiquan takes the road of overcoming rigidity with softness, paying attention to borrowing strength, and dialing thousands of catties in four or two, which is a completely different path from my Hong's tiger-shaped boxing. If Master Qiao wants to see it, it is a good choice. However, Zhang Heng is much older than me, and he has rarely competed with others recently, so he may not agree to go rashly. Otherwise, I'll ask Hong Yi to accompany you on a trip and explain the situation, I think he will sell me face. ”

After listening to Qiao Xiu's inquiry, Hong Hu thought about it and replied, and enthusiastically offered to let his disciple Hong Yi accompany him to help introduce him.

"That's good, it's just that I'm going to trouble Master Hongyi. ”

It is naturally best to have acquaintances to lead the way, but Qiao Xiu did not refuse Hong Hu's kindness.

"No trouble, as it should be. ”

Hong Yi next to him has no opinion on this.

After a few more conversations, Qiao Xiu Qiao Feng officially bid farewell to Hong Hu, and then left the Honghu Martial Arts Hall with Hong Yi to go to the Wuji Martial Arts Hall located in the eastern district of Maocheng City.

Wuji Martial Arts Hall is located on a hill in the suburbs of the eastern district of Maocheng, the hill was originally nameless, and there is a nameless Taoist temple in disrepair on it.

Later, Zhang Heng of Zhenwu Mountain came to Maocheng and took the nameless hill and the nameless Taoist temple as his foothold through the operation of the relationship.

After that, he funded the renovation of the Taoist hall and named it Wuji Taoist Temple.

Since then, Nameless Hill has also had another name: Wuji Mountain.

Taking advantage of Zhenwu Mountain's reputation in Taoism, Zhang Heng quickly recruited a group of Taoist disciples to recreate the originally unknown Taoist incense.

Later, he opened the Wuji Martial Arts Hall on the basis of the Taoist temple.

Originally, the Wuji Martial Arts Hall only recruited people who were willing to join the Taoist temple and become Taoist priests as disciples.

Later, in order to increase income and keep pace with the times, Wuji Martial Arts Hall began to recruit ordinary students.

As long as you have the heart to learn martial arts, you can join the martial arts training class offered by the Wuji Martial Arts Hall to receive martial arts enlightenment and learning.

Under Zhang Heng's careful management, whether it is Wuji Taoist Temple among local ordinary people, or Wuji Martial Arts Hall has a great reputation in the local martial arts world.

The distance from the Honghu Martial Arts Pavilion to the Wuji Martial Arts Pavilion was not far, and the road conditions in the city were not bad on the weekend, so it didn't take long for Qiao Feng to drive Qiao Xiu and Hong Yi to the foot of Wuji Mountain.

"There are a lot of people here. ”

After parking the car, the three of them stood in front of the climbing steps of Wuji Mountain, Qiao Feng looked at the tourists and pilgrims who were in groups of three or five on the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, Wuji Taoist Temple has developed well under the management of Daoist Zhang Heng, and it is also famous in the local area. ”

Hong Yi nodded and answered.

"Then let's go up the hill quickly. ”

Qiao Xiu was already a little eager to communicate with the legendary Daoist Zhang Heng.

After the two battles just now, Qiao Xiu found that his mastery of the martial arts in Lynn's memory had increased again.

If his martial arts could only be regarded as beginners before, then he is probably proficient now.

It is estimated that after a few more exchanges or battles, his martial arts will be able to be integrated and completely transformed into his own things.

The three of them then followed the other pilgrims towards the Wuji Taoist Temple at the top of the mountain.

During this period, the tall and burly Qiao Xiu still attracted the attention of some tourists and pilgrims.

Qiao Xiu was used to this, he didn't care about it, his mind was only looking forward to the next meeting.

When the three of them came to the top of the mountain, they could see a small square with a bluestone floor in front of them, a huge incense burner in the middle, and cigarette smoke lingering around it.

Directly above the incense burner is the Wuji Taoist Temple, which is not much different from the Taoist Temple in Qiao Xiu's impression, it is the kind of ancient palace-like building, with a wooden structure, large columns, and glazed roof tiles.

"Hey, Zhang Mu, I'm Hongyi, I'm looking for something for you, are you here, okay, then I'll go in to find you, I've already arrived at the door." ”

Unlike other tourists, pilgrims enter directly from the main entrance of the Taoist temple to visit or worship. Hong Yi first took Qiao Xiu Qiao Feng to the side of the Taoist temple, and then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Obviously, he has acquaintances in the Wuji Taoist Temple, or that Honghu Martial Arts Hall and Wuji Martial Arts Hall have a good personal relationship, so it is no wonder that Hong Hu will ask him to help introduce him.

"Alright, let's go inside. ”

After hanging up the phone, Hong Yi greeted Qiao Xiu Qiao Feng, and walked towards a door on the side of the Taoist temple first.

Qiao Xiu and the others followed Hong Yi to enter through the side door of the Taoist temple, and found that there was a different scene inside.

This is the backyard of the Taoist temple, and it is also the martial arts training ground of the Wuji Martial Arts Hall.

You can see a man who looks like a Taoist priest not far away, and he is boxing with a group of young people wearing simple practice clothes.

Their punches are very gentle, and at first glance, they feel like the old people in the city square are boxing.

However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that their footsteps are very steady, and their movements are soft and rigid, which is obviously practiced.

"Hong Yi, it's rare, you, a martial madman who has been practicing in retreat all day, actually took the initiative to come to me today. And these two are ......"

Not long after the three of them entered the door, a Taoist priest who looked about the same age as Hong Yi greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Zhang Mu, long time no see. Come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Qiao of the Transcendent Administration, and this is his younger brother Master Qiao Xiuqiao. Well, Mr. Qiao, Master Qiao, this is Zhang Mu, the eldest disciple of the Wuji Martial Arts Pavilion, and he is also my good friend. ”

Seeing each other, Hong Yi also showed a smile, stepped forward to say hello, and then introduced the three of them to each other.

"Hello. ”

"Hello. ”

"Hello. ”

After listening to Hong Yi's introduction, the three of them politely greeted each other, and then waited for Hong Yi's next words.

"Well, Zhang Mu, Mr. Qiao, they came this time to visit Daoist Zhang Heng, I don't know if your master is not there, is it inconvenient to take us to meet him?"

As the leader of the way, Hong Yi naturally left the matter of dealing with the Wuji Martial Arts Pavilion to him best.

"Well, Master is inside, since it was introduced by you Hongyi, it's naturally no problem, let's go, follow me in. ”

Zhang Mu was very face-saving and agreed directly.

Then under his leadership, several people crossed the martial arts training ground and came to an independent small courtyard in the innermost part of the backyard.

In the eye, an old Taoist priest with a small figure and a gray beard was boxing there.

Like the apprentices outside, the old Taoist priest's punches are also very soft, but they give people a completely different feeling.

The softness of the old Taoist priest gives people a casual and natural feeling, and it has a changeable spirituality.

Where his fists crossed, it seemed that there was an invisible traction, which could control everything in the palm of his hand.

Is this the Wuji Fist that overcomes rigidity with softness?

Qiao Xiu's eyesight is not low now, and he quickly saw the power of the old Taoist's boxing technique.

If there is no accident, this is the hall leader of the Wuji Martial Arts Pavilion. In Qiao Xiu's opinion, he was a little stronger than Hong Hu in his heyday.

Because the old Taoist priest was boxing, several people stood in place very interestingly, without making a sound or going over to disturb.

"Master, Hong Yi has brought two friends to visit you. ”

When the old Taoist priest stopped, Zhang Mu walked over with the three of them.

"Zhang Hengdao is good. I haven't seen you for many days, and your old body is still so tough. ”

"I've seen the old Taoist. ”

Hong Yi and Qiao Xiu also stepped forward to say hello.

"Well, how are you doing, Xiao Hongyi, how is your master lately?"

Daoist Zhang Heng looked at the three of them, replied, and then greeted Hong Hu.

"Well, Master, he's fine. However, He Zhengxiong, who was fighting in a vacuum today, came to challenge, and the master was injured a little because of his physical illness, but fortunately, Master Qiao helped in time, so it was considered a thrill. After taking the medicine, Master is now fine. ”

Hearing the other party's question, Hong Yi had no choice but to tell the truth.

"In this way, He Zhengxiong and your master are also old rivals, hey, when will it be time to retribution. This is Master Qiao, thank you for helping my old friend. ”

The old Taoist priest also knew something about the grievances between Hong Hu and He Zhengxiong, he first sighed, and then thanked Qiao Xiu Qiao Feng.

"Dao Elder is polite, you can just call me Qiao Xiu, this is my eldest brother Qiao Feng. ”

Seeing the old Taoist priest looking at him, Qiao Xiu took the lead in answering.

"Well, come with me into the house. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded, and then invited everyone into the house.

The host and guest sat down, and Zhang Mu quickly instructed Dao Tong to bring tea and water.

"Daochang Zhang, I came to visit this time, mainly to exchange martial arts experience with you, and at the same time, I also want to see your pavilion's Wuji Fist method and broaden my horizons. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

After chatting a few words, Qiao Xiu observed that Daoist Zhang Heng had a peaceful personality and was not difficult to get along with, so he directly made a request.

"Well, there's no problem with communicating. Master Qiao was able to defeat He Zhengxiong at a young age, and his martial arts skills must also be very superb and clever, and I also want to see it. ”

Daoist Zhang Heng's answer was unexpectedly refreshing.

"So the chief agreed?"

Qiao Xiu was a little surprised.

"It's too small in the house to be opened, let's go outside, please!"

Daoist Zhang Heng stood up directly and gave Qiao Xiu an affirmative answer with his actions.

"Please. ”

Qiao Xiu also hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Then they all went out of the house together and went into the small courtyard outside the house.

said that it was a small courtyard, but in fact, compared to the big martial arts training ground outside, the small courtyard itself was not small. In addition to some flowers and plants and a stone bench, there is also an open space of dozens of square meters, which is where Daoist Zhang Heng just boxed, which is enough for martial arts competitions.

"Daochang Zhang, please advise. ”

The two came to the middle of the open space and stood opposite each other, and Qiao Xiu hugged his fist at Zhang Hengdao.

"Please advise. ”

Zhang Heng, who was on the opposite side, raised his hand and returned the salute.

Then, the two started fighting.

Because of the other party's seniors, and the kung fu is obviously a type of strong defense with softness, Qiao Xiu took the initiative to attack after greeting him.

He quickly came to the old Taoist priest with a wolf suddenly, and then hit Zhang Hengdao's chest with a powerful and heavy punch.

Of course, as a tentative blow, Qiao Xiu only used six or seven layers of strength.

On the opposite side, Daoist Zhang Heng faced Qiao Xiu's aggressive punch, did not panic at all, sank down, put his hands in a round posture, and when the fist was about to come to him, his arm quickly swung horizontally on Qiao Xiu's forearm.

Then Qiao Xiu felt a pull on his arms and fists, and wanted to take his whole body forward and dive forward.

Drink!

Fortunately, Qiao Xiu reacted quickly, he suddenly retracted his strength, and his feet were rooted like old trees.

Boom!

At this time, seeing that Qiao Xiu's body was not being towed, Daoist Zhang Heng took the initiative to take a step forward, and the back of his other palm quickly hit Qiao Xiu's armpit and side ribs.

Fortunately, Qiao Xiu had already taken precautions and used his other hand to block Daoist Zhang Heng's palm.

Stompe!

However, he underestimated the strength of Daoist Zhang Heng's palm, and the whole person was knocked back two steps.

Obviously, in this first-round encounter, Qiao Xiu fell into the disadvantage.

"Awesome, Daochang Zhang, your strength is really strong enough with softness and rigidity. ”

Qiao Xiu, who stepped back and stood still, couldn't help but praise him.

Daoist Zhang Heng, who repelled Qiao Xiu, did not pursue, but re-established the starting hand of Wujiquan on the spot.

"Master Qiao is polite. ”

He was not complacent because of Qiao Xiu's praise. On the contrary, from the fight just now, he felt that Qiao Xiu's physical strength was very strong, and he didn't do his best just now.

"Zhang Daochang be careful, I'm going to go. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Xiu launched a second attack again.

It was still the same as just now, and he rushed forward quickly and then punched a straight punch, but his speed and momentum had improved significantly.

This time, Qiao Xiu used eighty percent of his strength.

On the other side, Daoist Zhang Heng was also holding a circle just now, but he took the initiative to take a step forward when Qiao Xiu approached, put his hands together, and at the same time drew an arc and hit Qiao Xiu's forearm.

Although the strength of Qiao Xiu's punch has increased greatly, the horizontal swing of Zhang Heng's arms has also increased greatly.

This time, Qiao Xiu was dragged forward by half a step, and Zhang Hengdao's arms swung with his body, and he once again used his strength to hit Qiao Xiu's chest in the opposite direction.

Qiao Xiu only had time to block his chest with his other arm before he was slammed into it.

Boom!

Stomp, stomp!

This time, Qiao Xiu was beaten back three steps in a row.

"What a lever!"

After Qiao Xiu stood still, he saw that the arm where he was hit was already a little red and swollen, and he couldn't help but praise again.

The injury to his arm was so obvious, not only because of Zhang Heng's patting, but also because of the inertia of his own forward dive.

"Again, this time I'm going to do my best, Dao Chief, be careful. ”

Over there, Daoist Zhang Heng resumed his original defensive gesture again, and Qiao Xiu reminded him to prepare to launch an all-out attack.

I saw him half-lunge with his front and back feet, his legs bent and squatting, and the muscles of his whole body began to tense.

The fighting qi in his body began to work, condensing on the arm fist that was about to attack.

Daoist Zhang Heng on the opposite side felt Qiao Xiu's beast-like momentum, and his face became solemn.

At the same time, he himself began to move, and his hands kept moving in front of his chest to match his own pace

Seeing that his movements seemed to be slow and fast, he brought out a series of hand shadows and turned into a scene barrier.

Drink!

Boom!

As Qiao Xiu's accumulation reached the extreme, he kicked under his feet, and at the same time as the ground exploded, the whole person turned into a cannonball and rushed towards Zhang Hengdaochang.

Hula!

The air along the way was stirred up by Qiao Xiu with a gust of wind, and Qiao Xiudu's fist smashed into Zhang Heng's defensive barrier with a roar.

Touched!

At the moment when his cloud arm touched Qiao Xiu's arm, Daoist Zhang Heng was overjoyed, thinking that he could block Qiao Xiu's blow.

Not good!

However, the next moment he was ecstatic.

Boom!

An unstoppable force came from the point of contact between the two, directly pushing Zhang Hengdao's body sideways and flying out.

Obviously, he underestimated the strength of Qiao Xiu's punch.

Moreover, he was twice defeated by softness, and Qiao Xiu was not unprepared.

The hand-to-hand combat skills he learned were not just reckless kung fu, and there were also changes in rigidity and softness.

So the punch that seemed to be indomitable just now has actually hidden the last move.

So when Daoist Zhang Heng put his arm on top of his arm, he suddenly swung sideways, and he knocked Daoist Zhang Heng, who had not yet had time to pull him, into the air.

After one blow, the winner is already clear.
