Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 48 The Down-and-Out Martial Arts Hall

The town of relying on water is an extremely special town for the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, and the key lies in the unique geographical location of this town.

The town is located in the northernmost part of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and is only separated by a mountain from the North Liang.

The mountains and rivers are like a shield, and only one river flows through the two places, so that the two countries have an extremely weak connection. It is also because of the Huaichuan River, which crosses the two countries from north to south, that the remote city of Yishui Town has a trace of vitality.

The Huaichuan River flows down from the mountains and rivers on the border between the two countries, spreads from Xizhou to Zhongzhou, dividing the huge Xizhou into two parts: east and west.

The town is located in the western part of Xizhou, near the Huaichuan River. Although the abundant aquatic resources have nurtured them and made them rich, they have not allowed the area to develop.

If a region wants to develop, it needs more resources and exchanges. A single fish and shrimp makes the town uncompetitive, of course, the remote location and inconvenient transportation are the most important factors restricting here.

Relying on the innate conditions of the water town, the martial arts culture here has been greatly affected, and for more than ten years, the number of martial artists has grown far lower than that of towns in other regions, and there is no one who can get the hand, which is probably the reason why there is only one martial arts hall here.

The only martial arts hall in the town is located on the most prosperous street in the south of the town, and it is only a wall away from the most lively martial arts field in the town.

Meng Li came to the street where the Water Martial Arts Hall was located, and before he saw the shadow of the martial arts hall, he was already shocked by the scene of the martial arts field.

The huge martial arts field, covering an area of thousands of square meters, is so vast that it is already crowded with people at this time.

On the martial arts field, there are all kinds of men, women and children, and the young men are the most, accounting for seven or eight percent.

These people are all dressed in short shirts, standing in the square, punching one move at a time, although most of them are some ordinary boxing techniques to strengthen the body, but the blood of thousands of people is like a pillar in the sky, shocking.

One punch and one sound, as this type of punch is swung out, the sound of humming comes and goes, sometimes it merges into one, and it shakes the sky!

Since the worship of martial arts, each city has set up martial arts, the martial arts practice boxing is not only to strengthen the body, but also to strengthen the people's hearts, gather public opinion, and cultivate the spirit of martial arts of the next generation.

The martial arts field of self-denial focuses on self-denial, and only by overcoming oneself can one achieve something.

The Water Martial Arts Hall is located on the side of the martial arts field, one is for the convenience of passing on martial arts, and the other is also to remind oneself of the meaning.

"I read from the book that since the end of the war between the two countries, our court has been committed to spreading martial arts, and I want to make it impossible for all people in the world to learn martial arts. ”

Learning martial arts is not only to learn the martial arts of the martial artist, just like the general boxing method of aerobics at this time, it is the simplest martial arts suitable for all ages, as long as everyone has the heart to learn.

When everyone saw the grand occasion of the martial arts, their expressions were different, Meng Li was shocked, Li Qifeng and Wu Zi'an were proud, and only Yan Xingguan was quite disdainful.

"A small place is a small place after all, and the strong boxing you learn is so vulgar, who compiled this set of boxing methods, and how it is similar to the boxing methods that children play. ”

Yan Xingguan has a high vision, this is nothing to say, but he is not purely looking for fault, the boxing method on this martial arts field is from the hands of the owner of the Water Martial Arts Pavilion, and a martial artist who has just entered the six forgings can compile what good boxing techniques?

Thinking of the current situation in the town, Li Qifeng and Wu Zi'an, two locals, immediately put away their pride and sighed softly.

Compared with the lively martial arts arena, the martial arts hall only outside a wall is a lot deserted.

The martial arts hall, between the Jianghu sect and the imperial court, is an ad hoc institution under the Jianjing Division, serving the imperial court, but it is not in the official government system. Some people say that the martial arts hall is the lubricant of the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, and this is not wrong. The emergence of the martial arts hall has stabilized the turbulent world due to the transmission of martial arts, and it is the foundation of the martial arts, at first, it was just to let the martial artists have something to do, and it has become an inseparable part of this society until now.

The martial arts hall is the same as the trading house, as soon as the door is opened, what it does is also usher in the sale of the send, but the trading house sells goods, and the martial arts hall sells strength.

The main way to make money in the martial arts hall is to take on tasks and earn bonuses by completing tasks. Each martial arts hall, in addition to the need to regularly complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, can also take on the tasks by themselves, and it is all up to their ability to earn more and less.

Yan Xingguan has traveled south and north, and there are not a few martial arts halls that he has seen, but there are really not many deserted martial arts halls like the Xiangshui Martial Arts Pavilion.

At this time, the door of the martial arts hall was wide open, and there was not even a single disciple standing guard. It looks like it's about to be deserted.

Wu Zi'an was also a little surprised when he saw the lonely appearance outside the martial arts hall. In the past two years, although the condition of the Water Martial Arts Hall has deteriorated, and he can only make a living by taking on some low-level tasks to deliver things and find people, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the expenses of maintaining face, such as the guest boy outside the door, can still be paid.

And as far as Wu Zi'an knows, the martial arts hall also took on a big task some time ago, so the Xue family brothers didn't come and run when they were shouting before and after people, why didn't they have much time before they languished again?

Wu Zi'an glanced at the martial arts hall that was almost unrecognizable, and said suspiciously: "What's going on today, why don't you even have a receptionist?" If the seniors are not in a hurry, let the little one go in and report it first. ”

"Go!" Yan Xing nodded, not in a hurry for this moment.

Wu Zi'an walked into the martial arts hall, and walked out again after a while, and when he walked out, there was already a young man dressed as an apprentice behind him.

When you come to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts, you also have to charge a fee, which is also an income of the martial arts hall.

"There is a big man in the martial arts hall, it seems to be related to Jieshui City, and the master of the Xue Zheng Pavilion is greeting him, and he can't pull away for the time being. Wu Zi'an was a little nervous in the face of Yan Xingguan, his original intention was to want Xue Zheng to come to greet him personally, lest the master in front of him feel that he would be unhappy after being neglected, after all, he is a master, and his temper will always be bigger, but there seems to be a very important thing happening in the martial arts hall, except for receiving the guest of Jieshui City, Xue Zheng has no other thoughts. He had no choice but to temporarily arrest a strong man.

Yan Xingguan said indifferently: "Don't get in the way, this time I came to just go around casually and give the little ones a long insight." ”

Meng Li and Li Qifeng looked at each other, little guys? Are you talking about them?

Wu Zi'an smiled, smiled a little awkwardly, and waved to the young man behind him. "If the seniors don't mind, why don't you let this little brother take us around first?"

The young apprentice had already received a special advice before he came, and when he saw the gesture given by Wu Zi'an, he hurriedly said: "Master has something to do, I'm afraid I have neglected a few people, so let's take a few people around!"

Yan Xing nodded and agreed, for such a small role, he disdained to speak.

Wu Zi'an understood Yan Xingguan's temper, and when he picked people, he moved some thoughts, this young man is also a gentle character, and he smiled lightly to resolve this embarrassment.

After that, the group visited the courtyard under the guidance of young people, from the front hall to the middle courtyard and all the way to the entrance of the back yard.

Standing outside the backyard door of the house, the young man had a gentle smile on his face with a little more apology, he turned his back to the backyard gate and looked at everyone: "The back is the place where Master picks up guests, at this time Master is taking care of the distinguished guests from Jieshui City, I'm sorry I can't take everyone over." ”

The backyard is a place for eating and living, and receiving people and things are all here, and the goal of Yan Xingguan is the martial arts hall itself, so he is naturally not interested in the backyard.

Circling around the first half of the martial arts hall, the purpose of Yan Xingguan was basically achieved, as for how much Meng Li could gain, it depended on his own creation, and what he wanted to ensure was that when his apprentice stepped into the rivers and lakes in the future, he would not be confused when he encountered the martial arts hall.

Just as a few people were returning home, there was a sudden sound in the backyard.

When the young man heard the sound, his expression moved, and he said, "It's the master who has come out!"

Yan Xingguan, who had already raised his steps and was about to leave, took his steps back and looked at the backyard, revealing a strange look.

"Na Qi Realm?"

His voice was so small that even Meng Li, who was closest to him, didn't hear it.
