Chapter 66: Martial Arts Hall
"Wait for me, this young man wait for me. As soon as Mo Chen took a step, the young man behind him shouted and quickly chased after him.
"In Xia Liang Xuewen, I don't know what to call the young man?" The righteous young man Liang Xuewen caught up with Mo Chen, followed Mo Chen and asked.
"My name is Mo Chen, just call me by my name, I'm not a young man. In the face of a person like Liang Xuewen who dared to resist in the face of coercion, which was very different from other people in this era, Mo Chen was still very willing to get along with him.
To be honest, Mo Chen hasn't had much time since he left his master to travel alone, but most of the people he has seen are cowardly and incompetent, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. For example, the noodle stall couple in Gu County, although they swallowed their anger because they were unable to resist a violent gang like the Eighth Master, but at the last moment, they actually wanted to kill Mo Chen who helped them in turn to curry favor with the Eighth Master, such an act really made Mo Chen feel cold.
There is also the group of people behind him, no different from the noodle stall owner and his wife, more than a dozen people dare not do anything with the robbers of four people, and finally blame Mo Chen in turn to show the reasonableness of his actions, and finally after switching with the robbers, they rushed up to snatch the benefits. If you come to this kind of danger, I don't know if it was created by such an era, or by such a person.
At this time, Liang Xuewen knew Mo Chen's name, and said happily:
"Brother Mo Chen, what are you going to do in Xiangyang Mansion? I am going to the 'Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall' in the city to do things this time, although it is just a chore, but I also have the opportunity to learn the boxing techniques taught in the martial arts hall. When I succeed in my studies, I will inevitably have to do something at that time, that is, I can't report to the country like Mr. Liang Zhuoru, strengthen the study and strengthen the law, but also go down to Anlishu, clean up the bandits, and return the people to a bright future. When Liang Xuewen said this, his emotions were generous and excited.
Mo Chen listened speechlessly to him over there, and then told Mo Chen his ambition to himself, and said in his heart I didn't ask you this.
However, when he heard him talk about the martial arts hall, Mo Chen was still very interested:
"Brother Liang, you said that you went to the martial arts hall to do things this time, are there many martial arts halls in Xiangyang Mansion?"
"Well, there are indeed a lot of martial arts halls in Fucheng, and several larger martial arts halls are said to teach Baguazhang, splitting and hanging boxing, plum blossom boxing, Baji boxing, Wing Chun boxing, I want to go to the plum blossom martial arts hall, the hall advocates that the achievement is the plum blossom boxing master, and the hall teaches plum blossom boxing. I was able to enter because someone in the same village worshiped under the door of the hall owner to learn boxing. Liang Xuewen said.
Mo Chen's heart moved when he heard this, at this time, Mo Chen could be said to be penniless, and Mo Chen still wanted to continue to rush to Shandong. It's not okay to have no money on this way, at this time you need to find a job to earn some travel expenses, since there are many martial arts halls in the city, it shouldn't be a problem to seek a martial arts coach with Mo Chen's skills. Thinking of this, Mo Chen must be in his heart.
Next, Mo Chen didn't say anything, and hurried towards the direction of Fucheng. Several people walked all the way, although they encountered another wave of robbers in the middle, which made Liang Xuewen sigh again and again that the world was declining, but with Mo Chen here, these robbers were naturally not opponents. After solving this wave of robbers, Mo Chen and the others never encountered any other accidents, and they arrived at Xiangyang Mansion City smoothly.
Xiangyang City is located in the northwest of Hubei, in the upper reaches of the Han River, south of the Han River Plain, north of the Nanyang Basin, located in the main road. Xiangyang City occupies a wide area, more than 10 miles in length and width, the city is high and deep, countless buildings in the city are staggered, the streets are all over, the permanent population in the city is more than 200,000, and it is very lively at any time during the day.
At this time, Mo Chen was standing in front of the door of a martial arts hall in Xiangyang City, which had an atmospheric appearance, and the plaque hanging on the door had a golden "Xiangyang Xingyi Boxing Gym" written on it.
After Mo Chen entered Xiangyang City and separated from Liang Xuewen, he sent Zhang Xiaohua to get together with her husband, and then began to walk around Xiangyang City.
Striding into the empty front hall of the martial arts hall, you can see a lot of students wearing light black close-fitting practice uniforms divided into several groups standing separately, there are those who practice basic horse steps, those who practice three-body postures, and those who practice five-element boxing and twelve-shaped boxing, and there is a boxer in front of each group or watch with both hands on his back, or walk between the students to correct the practice, from the movements of these students, the boxing is practiced relatively pure, it seems that this martial arts hall teaches real kung fu.
Seeing Mo Chen come in, a man standing not far away wearing a practice uniform with thin cheeks and looking like he should be in charge of reception stepped forward and asked:
"This Xiao Langjun, you are here to learn boxing?"
"It's not. Mo Chen replied: "I am recommended as a coach from myself, I don't know if your martial arts hall still accepts coaches?"
The man looked Mo Chen up and down, but he didn't slack off because of his age, and said in a sincere voice:
"The recruitment and assessment coaches are all done by the hall owner himself, you wait here first, and I will go to the backyard to inform the hall owner. ”
After saying that, the man turned around and walked to the back of the martial arts hall, and after a while, the man returned and said to Mo Chen:
"Come with me, the owner is waiting for you in the backyard. ”
Mo Chen followed him through the antechamber and into the backyard. The floor of the backyard is paved with bricks and stones, and there is a square stone platform in the middle that is obviously higher than the ground, and the stone platform is two feet long and horizontal, which is not small. Mo Chen followed the man down the steps on the stone platform, and saw a person standing in the middle of the stone platform.
The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a fuchsia cardigan and trousers of the same color, tall and imposing.
"This person is the director of the martial arts hall, right?" Mo Chen said in his heart, such a powerful figure coupled with a strong Xingyi fist simply complements each other, even if the boxing cultivation is not high, it can burst out with considerable lethality. What's more, anyone who can set up a hall to accept apprentices, any one of them can be called a master of boxing, how can they not cultivate highly.
The man who led the way brought Mo Chen to the mighty boxer and introduced:
"This is the owner of our martial arts hall, Master Ma Yiming, the master of Xingyi Boxing. After saying that, he stepped aside, leaving only Mo Chen and the hall owner Ma Yiming looking at each other.
Mo Chen first hugged his fists and saluted, and introduced himself:
"In Xia Mochen, I saw the owner of the horse pavilion. ”
"Master Mo wants to come to me to find a coach, then I naturally want to try Master Mo's skills, take a hand, Master Mo." Ma Yiming didn't talk nonsense, he said straightforwardly.
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, and at the same time, Mo Chen also put his hand on it.
"Bang" The two put their palms together like shaking hands, and as soon as they touched, there was a dull explosion sound, and then the two of them remained motionless.
Mo Chen's whole body was running with all his strength, and he followed the palm of his hand to offset the constant strength surging on the opposite side. At the beginning, the two of them were evenly matched, no matter how good they were, but after all, Mo Chen was proficient in Taijiquan, which was the best at listening to strength, and as time went by, the opponent's strength was dissolved by Mo Chen's changing and ingenious strength, and Mo Chen began to gain the upper hand. At this moment, Mo Chen felt a pinprick feeling coming from the hand he was holding, and he involuntarily let go of his hand and took three steps back.
"I lost. The situation in front of him was already very clear, and Mo Chen simply admitted defeat.
