Seventy-four, the ring competition
Gao Zhentian walked up to Wang Xue and sighed softly: "I am too ignorant in this matter. No matter what God treats us, we should work hard ourselves, even if we are just resigned to fate and content with the status quo, and we should not complain and complain. As he spoke, he bowed to Wang Xue. Wang Xue hurriedly returned the salute. Gao Zhentian said again: "If it weren't for my narrow-mindedness, you wouldn't be so seriously injured now, and Tao Yongmei wouldn't have slept underground at a young age." I'm going to go back and ask Tao Yongmei's family for my guilt, so I'll leave first. After saying that, he walked back, and just took two steps, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said: "Wang Xue, you have such integrity at a young age, and you will have great success in the future." Wang Xue's injury was not light, and there was no place on her body that was not in severe pain, and after listening to Gao Zhentian's praise, she replied casually: "I know, they all say this about me." Gao Zhentian laughed and said, "You kid!" turned back.
Wang Xue recuperated in Yunlei Town for a few days, his injuries were getting better day by day, and he had nothing to do on weekdays, so he went to Gao Zhentian to study martial arts.
On this day, Wang Xue said goodbye to Gao Zhentian, left the town and then went south, and arrived at the border of the south of the Yangtze River in less than a day. Wang Xue was just a child who couldn't even walk fast when she left home, and now she is a slim girl when she returns to her hometown.
Wang Xue walked through the forest for several days, and came to Lixuan Ancient Town in a few days. Wang Xue lived in this town before leaving home, when his father Wang Zisheng opened a boxing gym in the town, but Wang Xue couldn't remember the business status of the boxing gym, and later heard from his mother that his father had many disciples and the business was booming. Wang Xue has long forgotten the appearance of her hometown in her memory, and now she feels that she has been reunited after a long absence when she returns to her hometown.
Wang Xue wandered the streets with nowhere to go, and the hometown she longed for was not very fun. It was noon in a short time, Wang Xue saw a small restaurant on the corner of the street in front of her, and thought that it would be good to go there to sit and sit, just took a step, and suddenly thought that something was not good, and when she touched her pocket, sure enough, there were only a few copper plates in it, not to mention going to the restaurant to eat, even going to the noodle stall to eat a bowl of somen noodles, the money was just enough. Wang Xue didn't have much money on her, and nine out of ten meals along the way were ordinary somen noodles, and when she heard the word "somen noodles" at this moment, she fell into an appetite. Just as he was hesitating and had no plan, he suddenly heard a shout, and the pedestrians on the street gathered to the East Street, and walked to take a look, it turned out that there was a ring competition on the corner of the street, which attracted a lot of people to see the excitement.
I saw that the two men in the ring were fighting very tightly, one was an ordinary person, the other was taller than ordinary people, and both of them looked like young people. As soon as Wang Xue saw the two people, she immediately recalled that she had seen the same scene when she first met Bozi Town, and the two people who fought at that time were Li Hao and Zhang Guanhua, who were also tall and short. At that time, Li Hao and Zhang Guanhua competed with each other to test martial arts, and later Li Hao accidentally hit Wang Xue by mistake, and then the night fight**, the Zhenwu Conference, and the sneak attack on Lihutang all started from this. Wang Xue thought that Li Hao casually coaxed himself that night, saying that when it came to tomorrow's earthquake martial arts conference, we would come to the martial arts competition again, and now it has been more than half a year, and this competition has still not been carried out, and I don't think it's interesting.
She is the first person to be good at martial arts, seeing that the two people in the ring turned around and punched very quickly, obviously carrying the martial arts, she couldn't help but itch, and asked a middle-aged man beside her: "Uncle, what kind of martial arts competition is this, are there any rules?" The middle-aged man looked at the martial arts competition, and did not glance at Wang Xue, and replied casually: "The four owners of the Baiping Boxing Gym are asking each other for advice and playing!" Seeing that the tall man in the ring kicked the opponent away with one leg, he shouted hello loudly, and no longer paid attention to Wang Xue. Wang Xue went to ask the white-haired old man on the left again. The old man smiled and said, "Young man, you are a foreigner who only came here this year, right?" Wang Xue smiled and said, "I only came here today, so it's hard to say whether I am a foreigner or not." The old man said: "There are four masters in the Baiping Boxing Gym, and each of them is a martial arts master. Every spring and autumn, they set up a stage to show their kung fu, one is to learn from each other, and the other is to recruit disciples. If there is anyone who admires their martial arts, they can pay money to learn the art later. Wang Xue smiled: "I see." The two eldest brothers on the stage are two of the martial artists in the Paoping Boxing Gym. The old man said, "Yes." If the little girl is interested, she may wish to pay money to apprentice, and follow the two masters on the stage to learn a few hands. Wang Xue grinned and said, "Exactly, it should be so." ”
At this time, the two men in the ring had stopped fighting, clasped their fists and saluted, walked down the ring, and rested on the two wooden chairs placed in advance on the side of the ring. The crowd of onlookers applauded. A woman in her twenties stepped into the ring and said loudly: "Thanks to all your friends and neighbors, our Pak Ping Boxing Gym has been doing prosperous business since it opened. If anyone is a martial arts lover, he can come to the stage at will now to give teaching, and our four brothers and sisters will accompany him. We still have the old rule, no matter which martial artist, as long as he can beat any of us, he will be rewarded with ten pieces of silver. ”
It turned out that after each performance on stage, the Baiping Boxing Gym would use the silver two as a reward to meet friends with martial arts in order to attract business. Most of the people who practice martial arts are arrogant and arrogant, and everyone wants to take on the stage to challenge, even the neighbors who don't know martial arts are adjacent, and those who are a little stronger also want to go on stage and play around. However, the four martial artists of Baiping have all succeeded in their husbands, and ordinary martial artists can easily get the silver reward, so that the gym can show off their martial arts.
When Wang Xue heard this, she laughed out loud, she was good at martial arts and short of money, and now she has martial arts to earn more than money, killing two birds with one stone, it is really a good thing that pie falls from the sky.
The audience quipped, "If I win all four of you, then what?" The woman was stunned and said, "Then you will be the head coach of our Baiping Boxing Gym! If you can win all four of our brothers and sisters, what kind of gym will we open?" Everyone in the audience burst into laughter. Wang Xue also laughed lightly, thinking: "This young lady is really interesting." ”
A stout man walked into the ring, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Xiaofei, I defeated you last year, to be honest, I am not very convinced." In the past six months, I have been practicing hard kung fu in order to win a game. The woman was called Xiao Fei, and said with a smile: "Master Wang cares about not only the success or failure of a move, but also the ten rewards are itchy!" The man surnamed Wang laughed and said, "I'm in the move!" As soon as the words fell, his body suddenly approached Xiao Fei, and his right palm suddenly slapped out, straight to her face. Shino's head tilted to the side and avoided it. The onlookers in the audience saw that the man said that he would fight, and the palm power was extremely fierce, and there was a whirring wind sound when he hit, but Xiao Fei was able to avoid it lightly and skillfully, and the depth of his skill can be seen. The man surnamed Wang missed a move, and the second palm immediately followed, patting Xiao Fei on the shoulder. Shino's body swayed and he ducked to the side. The man, surnamed Wang, stepped forward and struck forward with one palm. Xiao Fei's body is agile, shuttling back and forth between the opponent's palms, and his body has never been carried by the palm force.
The man slapped him twice, jumped back, and said: "What kind of husband's behavior are you hiding in Tibet like this, you can't fight until dark like this, quickly use your internal strength to fight against me!" Wang Xuexin said: "Your strong palm is your strength, and that Xiaofeng's smart body is her strength." If you can't beat her yourself, it's because you're not good at kung fu, so why do you want people to fight against you?" Xiao Fei laughed and said: "I'm not a big husband, so what if I'm hiding in Tibet? You are a big man, and you want me to fight hard with a weak little woman, what kind of big husband's behavior is this?" Everyone in the audience laughed out loud. A few people cheered loudly for Xiaofeng.
It turned out that many of the onlookers were apprentices under the Baiping Boxing Gym, and the disciples supported the master, so they naturally shouted and cheered for Xiaofeng. The man surnamed Wang laughed and said, "Your Xiaoxi Gong has been perfected, no one knows in Lixuan Ancient Town, come and face me." ”
When Wang Xue heard the words "Xiaoxigong", her heart was shocked. Xiaoxigong is a martial art based on profound internal skills. Wang Xue once heard her mother say that in the past, there were two well-known masters of internal strength in Lixuan Ancient Town, one of them practiced boxing and one practiced palm, and the person who practiced boxing was his father Wang Zisheng, but the mother of the person who practiced palm was not known by name, only that his Xiaoxi Gong was very good, and now he knew that the woman called Xiaofeng was a good hand at Xiaoxigong, so she was most likely the master of internal strength who practiced palms back then.
I only heard Xiao Fei smile and said, "It's good if you know that you can't fight me." The man surnamed Wang said: "If you talk about real martial arts, I am indeed not your opponent." Although I have practiced martial arts for half my life, my qualifications are mediocre and difficult to achieve, and I can only do it with this little bit of internal strength in my palm. Little girl, do you dare to fight with me?" he asked in front of everyone in the audience, if Xiao Fei didn't agree, he really couldn't get off the stage, his question was no different from force. Before Xiao Fei could answer, several hot-tempered disciples in the audience shouted first: "If you know that your martial arts are not good, quickly admit defeat, what are you talking about?" "Our Master Xiao disdains to fight against you, don't be delusional!" Xiao Fei smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll compete with you for palm power, so as not to lose and disagree." His hands brought out the strength of Xiao Xigong and slowly pushed forward. The man surnamed Wang smiled: "This is decent." He drew a circle outward with his arms and slammed them out, meeting his palms. At the time when the method of competing for internal strength in this way is dangerous, but there is no trick at all, if you are not careful, the meridians will be damaged immediately. Most of the people in the audience were people who didn't know martial arts, and when they saw the man surnamed Wang and Xiao Fei standing still with their palms facing their palms, they couldn't help but feel excited. One of them couldn't help but shout: "Are you pretending to be a ghost?" He coaxed him, and the two people next to him shouted: "Don't you pick a good place when you two fall in love?" "Do you Baiping Boxing Gym only have these fancy racks of clapping hands and high-fives?"
Huo De, the tall young man who was performing in the ring, stood up and shouted, "You scoundrels are so arrogant and unreasonable, you should be beaten!" As soon as the words fell, five men jumped into the crowd, dragged the three people who were talking and causing trouble out of the crowd, and slapped them. Those three did not know martial arts, and where were the opponents of the martial arts practitioners under the Baiping Boxing Gym? After two or three blows, they were knocked to the ground. The five apprentices had the intention of working hard in front of the master, and they attacked them hard and hard, beating the three people with blue noses and swollen faces and screaming again and again.
Wang Xue knew that today's grand event in the Baiping Boxing Gym was intended to accept the disciples and Liwei, and she couldn't stand the ridicule, but when she saw that a few apprentices and people who didn't know martial arts were so serious, she couldn't help but be indignant, walked over and grabbed one of them by the arm, and said with a blushing face: "They are already miserable enough, don't fight anymore." Wang Xue intervened, and the five people stopped and turned their heads to look at her. The person who was grabbed by Wang Xue's arm was the first generation disciple of Baiping Boxing Gym, second only to the four head masters in the boxing gym, and the man thought: "You want me to stop with a little girl's words, isn't this clear that you want me to be embarrassed by Baiping Boxing Gym?" Seeing that Wang Xue's face was angry, he was even more angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Where did you come from, stinky girl, I'll beat you up again!" Wang Xue smiled: "Then you are beating, what are you talking about?" The man was stunned, thinking that beating a thin girl for no reason, Yu Baiping's reputation was not good, and seeing that Wang Xue's right hand was still tightly grasping his left arm, he shouted: "You let go!" He has already transported eighty percent of his internal strength in this shock, but Wang Xue's right hand is still grasping his left arm, and his five fingers are sticky and generally do not move at all. The man was slightly stunned, and the girl in front of him seemed to be thin, but in fact, she was not weak in kung fu, and her arm was transported with all her strength to shake back. Wang Xue's hand was strengthened, and only the man's wrist gurgle. The man's wrist was in pain, and his face was covered with cold sweat, and he endured the pain and didn't dare to shout out, for fear of losing the prestige of the gym.
The remaining four people saw that the senior brother was weak, although they knew that if the senior brother could not defeat this girl, then he would definitely not be an opponent, but they had to shout to Wang Xue: "Stinky girl, let go quickly, otherwise you will look good!" "Stupid girl doesn't know what to do, haven't you seen the affection of our senior brother?" Wang Xue laughed and said: "The person who is kind to my subordinate is me, where is your senior brother?" said with another effort in his hand. The elder brother's wrist hurt so much that he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally let out a miserable scream. The four junior brothers couldn't bear it anymore, and when this gym was in full swing, the senior brother was bullied by a little girl and screamed loudly, so it was worth it? One of them scolded loudly: "The stinky girl is so rude!" and swung his fist at Wang Xue's left shoulder.
Wang Xue's left arm was raised slightly, and he wanted to swing his fist away, but he saw a palm waving beside him, and he swung the man's fist away first. When the man saw that the master had intervened to stop him, he did not dare to use force. The four of them took a step back, bowed their heads and said in unison, "Master!" The tall martial artist smiled lightly at Wang Xue and said, "The apprentices are rude, please don't blame the girl!" Wang Xue suddenly felt a strong force on the disciple's arm, but before he could react, his mouth was numb, and he grabbed the big disciple's right hand and let go. The big disciple lost people in front of everyone, especially in front of the master, it was really difficult to get off the stage, and he glared at Wang Xue a few times. The tall martial artist shouted to the three frivolous people, "I have spared you once today, and you all get out of here!" The three hurriedly fled away, where did they dare to reply? The tall martial artist saluted Wang Xue again, and said warmly: "I have offended the girl!" Wang Xue returned the salute and said, "Good to say!" The martial artist waved his hand and walked back with all the disciples.
Xiao Fei and the man surnamed Wang were still in a palm-to-palm stalemate. After a while, I saw that the man surnamed Wang was swaying slightly, and the beads of sweat were rolling on his forehead, but Xiao Fei still looked calm. When this situation was that people who didn't know martial arts at all could see that the two were superior, the disciples of the Baiping Boxing Gym couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, the man surnamed Wang jumped back with a soft shout, panting and clenching his fists and saying, "You, you won." Xiaoxi Kung Fu really lives up to its name. Xiao Fei returned the salute with a fist and smiled: "Accept, accept!" The man surnamed Wang stepped out of the ring, bowed his head and left.
Xiao Fei turned his head to the crowd in the audience: "Which other neighbor is willing to teach?" The two of them walked up to the ring one after another, but these two people's martial arts skills were low, and the competition on stage was just to join in the fun, and they were beaten down by Xiao Fei as soon as they made a move. According to the rules of the folk ring, one person can get off the stage and rest for a while after three consecutive games. Xiao Fei smiled slightly, saluted everyone again, and was about to step out of the ring, when suddenly a white light flashed in front of him, and a spear head stabbed head-on. Xiao Fei was startled, immediately bent down and flipped back, jumped back into the ring, and saw a man in red standing in front of him with an iron gun. The man's expression was cold and grim, he looked sideways at Xiao Fei, and said lightly: "I want to learn about your kung fu." Seeing this person's strange appearance, Xiao Fei said coldly, and his heart moved: "Could it be him!" and asked: "Your Excellency is Mr. Leng, the king of cold guns?" When everyone in the audience heard this, they were all puzzled and funny, what kind of cold gun king gun was cold, and a few people couldn't help laughing. But I heard the man in red reply, "It's down there." ”
Wang Xue heard Liu Yue mention it a few years ago, and knew that there was a man named Wang Gun Leng on the rivers and lakes, who was famous for an iron gun, just because he frowned all day long, and he spoke to anyone with a cold look, so the rivers and lakes turned his name upside down and gave him the nickname of "Cold Gun King".
I only heard Xiao Fei stunned and said: "What kind of hero are you to sneak attack people like this, if you really stab me to death with one shot, then what should it be? The king of cold guns is cold enough, and he really lives up to his reputation!" Wang Gun said coldly: "If you can't avoid my shot, then your martial arts are low, and I don't have to waste time and energy to compete with you." If you can avoid my sting, then you really have some real kung fu, and this competition is a little fun. He was talking about the martial arts competition, but he didn't take the sneak attack with the secret gun and the life of Xiaofei seriously.
Xiao Fei was furious when he heard this, and he just wanted to knock this cold gun king out of the ring immediately, but when he saw that Wang Gun Leng Shicai knew that his marksmanship was strong, far better than that of the man surnamed Wang, he thought: "I can't be sloppy in dealing with such an arrogant and murderous person as you, I am suitable to fight Brother Wang, and my physical strength is a lot of loss, and I may not be able to defeat you at this time." So he said: "I've been competing with three people in a row before, and if you're interested in competing with me, you have to wait for me to get out of the ring and rest for a while." Wang Gun said coldly: "You don't dare to compete with me, take out twenty copper coins and hand them over to me happily, otherwise I want your Baiping Boxing Gym to bleed!" A disciple shouted: "You are so clear about robbing other people's money, aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution?" Wang Gun said coldly: "The rules are set by yourself, not me." The disciple said, "The rule set by my master is ten copper coins, not twenty." Wang Gun snorted coldly and laughed twice, and said, "That's not easy? I stabbed your two boxing masters, won't I be able to get twenty guan?"
When the people in the audience saw that this strange man with an iron gun was so arrogant, they all shouted in their hearts that they were disgusted, but because of his strong martial arts, no one dared to stop it. What's more, the Baiping Boxing Gym is famous, and it may not be impossible to take care of this person, so it is somewhat nosy to take the lead for the Baiping Boxing Gym.
The tall martial artist who apologized to Wang Xue on behalf of the disciple walked into the ring, bowed slightly to Wang Shuleng, and said, "My junior sister Xiaofeng has already tried with the three of them, and she is exhausted at the moment. If you win, she won't be able to win. You see that this is good, I will compete with you for my sister, and if you can win me, I will also give you a reward of 20 times. All he cares about is the reputation of the gym, and he and the other people in the Boping Boxing Gym really don't care about the ten or twenty copper coins.
