Chapter 3: Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall

Just after the rooster crowed twice, Shen Lang walked out of the house with a huge blue background floral baggage, but because most of the clothes and bedding were inside, it was not heavy.

He touched the bronze beast head knocker with some reluctance, and then locked the two knockers together with a brass lock, starting today to leave this home that was at least spacious and warm enough.

Although Shen Lang had little interest in the Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion before, he also knew that as the oldest martial arts organization in Tiger Tooth City, there were many special traditions within the Martial Arts Pavilion.

For example, as an apprentice in the martial arts hall, you must live in the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion, and even if you have no money to pay the tuition, you must work in the Huwei Martial Arts Gym to earn money and exercise until you are recognized by the head of the sect.

This is also a point that is often ridiculed in the Huwei Martial Arts Hall, obviously just teaching some superficial kung fu and cultivating some dart masters for the Huwei Dart Bureau, but it has precepts and rules comparable to those of the big sects, and it is really not a big shelf!

The Shen family is located near the West City Gate, and the Huwei Martial Arts Hall is located on the outskirts of the East City Gate, and it takes half an hour to walk by Shen Lang's footsteps, so he stopped to rest for a while, drank a bowl of oil tea and ate two pancakes.

By the time he arrived at the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, the sky was already bright and the door of the Martial Arts Pavilion had been opened.

The gate of the martial arts hall is old and quaint, and there is no grandeur to speak of, but there is a stone lion and a stone elephant standing on the left and right sides respectively, which is a bit strange!

There are also two gatekeeper stone statues outside the Shen family's house, which are a pair of lions with a rolling ball, and most of the other big families have pairs of stone statues such as lions and pixiu at the door of their homes, but they have never seen the gatekeeper stone statues of different animals!

Moreover, these two stone statues, which are nearly two meters high, are crudely carved, like abstract works, and at first glance it is immediately clear that they are lions and elephants, but when you look closely, you feel more and more that they do not look like them!

This reminded Shen Lang of the feeling he had when he visited a museum and faced those real works of art.

Obviously, I usually see it in books and photos and don't think about it, but when I really look closely, my heart can't help but be shocked, and I don't know how to do it.

"One hundred and twenty-three years ago, Zhang Tailuo, nicknamed the silver-faced lion king, carried the stone lion thousands of miles to Huya Village, swept the bandits and evil beasts to establish the Huwei Dart Bureau; a year later, Huya City was established and included in the jurisdiction of Jizhou, and the silver-faced lion king came to Huya City with a stone elephant, and then founded the Huwei Martial Arts Museum. A deep voice sounded beside Shen Lang.

Shen Lang was instinctively taken aback, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was an uncle with a rough face but a gentle expression, so he was relieved.

This uncle looks a little old, but it can be seen from the blue and black on his chin and sideburns, and he is at most in his forties, in the prime of life.

He was dressed in a short gray robe, holding a bucket in his left hand and several rags stacked on top of each other in his right hand, and it looked like he was going to scrub the stone statue.

"Good morning, uncle. Shen Lang bowed his head slightly and saluted to say hello, and then couldn't help asking: "Are you the head of the martial arts hall? It's the first time I've heard of the origin of these two stone statues! The founder of the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion really carried this stone statue on his back for a thousand miles?"

As Shen Lang spoke, he deliberately shrugged his shoulders and checked the package on his back.

The stone elephant is nearly two meters tall, and although I don't know what material it is, it looks extremely hard, and a rough estimate is at least a ton!

The other party used the word back, if Zhang Tailuo really came thousands of miles with a stone statue on his back, this person's strength, physique and endurance are comparable to that of a truck, a real little superman!

"Hehe, I'm not the head of this martial arts hall, it's just a little bit of a relationship, an idler who came to stay overnight for a few days. The cloaked uncle smiled: "It's just that I happen to be a little related to Sect Master Zhang back then, so I know a lot about the deeds of this elder." ”

"I see, then don't disturb the uncle's busyness, I'm going to go in to apprentice. Shen Lang nodded politely, and then said goodbye to the uncle who was in charge of cleaning the stone statue.

"Okay, next time you want to hear Zhang Tailuo's story, come to me. The enthusiastic uncle with his cloak responded heartily, then leaned over and lowered his head to lift the bucket, turned around and walked towards the stone lion in front of him.

Shen Lang thought as he walked towards the gate of the martial arts hall.

If what the uncle said just now is true, then the inheritance of the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Hall should be quite good!

But now, whether it is the Tiger Warrior Hall or the Tiger Dart Bureau, there are many darts and coaches who can be called masters, but none of them can overwhelm Huya City and are regarded as the strongest people who represent the highest force in Huya City!

When Jiang Grandpa was at his peak, he was one step away from the innate powerhouse, and his body was not even inferior to the innate powerhouse in terms of strength and speed, and he was undoubtedly the first master of the Tiger Tooth City Horizontal Refinement, and his name even faintly suppressed the total dart head of the Huwei Dart Bureau.

But so far, no one in the Huwei Dart Bureau and the Huwei Martial Arts Hall has broken Grandpa Jiang's record again, which shows that his speculation is correct, not that the martial arts are superficial, but that he lacks the trick to combine them!

If Shen Lang hadn't been so distracted by what he thought at this time, he might have been able to hear the small friction sound, and then he looked back and saw that the enthusiastic uncle who exuded his cloak actually adjusted the angle of the stone lion with one hand, and then let the stone lion move two or three inches away with a casual push.

If Shen Lang approached this cloaked uncle at this time, he would hear him muttering guiltily, and then he would be shocked and confused.

"Uncle Shi, you had the ambition to come to this Huya City to preach, but you didn't expect to die before you left the school, but now your nephew wants to carry back the stone statue you worked so hard to bring back then, and I really can't stand you. ”

"It's just that the stone statues carved by the ancestors in the temple have been destroyed, although these two are just games, they also contain the charm of the green lion and white elephant, and the nephew has also been hinted at many times by many uncles, even if you are a little angry, don't blame me on my head." ”

The cloaked uncle carefully wiped every nook and cranny of the stone statue with a rag, and muttered: "When the master came to Huya City on the twenty-seventh, then I will live in this Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion for twenty-seven days, and make up for all the cheats here as compensation." ”

....................................

Shen Lang didn't take the uncle who was familiar with historical allusions just now to heart, what he was thinking about now was to start cultivating quickly, no matter what, first find the simplest and easiest martial arts to start cultivating, and truly confirm the divine power of the Canglong Ring in his hand.

Walking into the martial arts hall, what immediately appeared in front of me was a martial arts training ground with an area close to a football field, the ground was covered with delicate river sand, and there were many tall and uneven pillars standing at the corners of the four sides, wooden, iron, wrapped with iron cables, and wrapped with animal skins.

At this time, there were already many people gathered in the martial arts training ground, and they were standing in the center of the martial arts training ground in unison to practice boxing; Shen Lang stopped and looked at it for a while, counting in his heart that there were about sixty people, and it didn't seem difficult to practice boxing.

Shen Lang's appearance naturally attracted attention, and soon a bald boy ran over and asked him what was the matter.

After learning that Shen Lang was here to apprentice, the bald boy immediately led Shen Lang through the martial arts training ground and came to the backyard.

Compared with the spacious and bright martial arts training ground, the backyard of the Huwei Martial Arts Hall is larger, but it is divided into many small courtyards by walls, and the doors of some small courtyards are not closed, and you can see people practicing boxing, punching sandbags, and kicking wooden stakes inside!

"If you want to come in here, you need the approval of the head of the coach, and you don't have to think about it in a short time. The bald boy seemed to see Shen Lang's doubts, and said, "If you are familiar with any sect leader and are willing to spend more silver taels, it doesn't matter." ”

Understood, this is the difference between an outer disciple and an inner disciple.

Shen Lang nodded and did not respond, Grandpa Jiang had been the head of the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion for a period of time, and now there are several powerful sect leaders who were his disciples back then, if Grandpa Jiang is invited to come forward, it should be very easy for him to enter the inner courtyard.

It's just that there is no need for this, he came here to learn superficial martial arts, not the kind of internal martial arts that need to be paid attention to from time to time and be cautious.

If he was accepted as a disciple by a certain sect leader at the beginning, when the Canglong Ring played a role, it was easy to be seen, and it was really good to make a fortune in a muffled voice!

"This is the room of the Shen Ledger, you go in and pay the money, and then I will take you to get your clothes, and then you can go to the martial arts hall to see the martial monument by yourself. The bald boy pointed to a hut with a bamboo curtain and said to Shen Lang.

"I'm sorry for you, if you don't dislike it, please accept this. Shen Lang took out a dried meat shaped like a big copper coin from his waist and handed it to the other party to express his gratitude.

This kind of dried meat is made of rice wine, brown sugar, five-spice powder steamed beef and dried, the surface is brushed with a layer of clot, which is convenient to store and is not easy to deteriorate;

"Good thing! My name is Liu Yi, just look for me if you have something to do in the future. The bald boy took it in surprise, and then immediately broke off the curd outside, threw the dried meat in his mouth and chewed it.

Shen Lang was speechless for three seconds, and then opened the bamboo curtain and walked in, and saw the sallow face and goatee Shen Ledger.

After registering his name, place of origin, and home address, he paid another thirty taels of silver as tuition, and Shen Lang officially became a disciple of the Huwei Dart Bureau.

The whole process was a simple and smooth mess, and the Shen account room was expressionless in the face of Shen Lang's information, but it made him a lot easier.

However, when Shen Lang walked out of the account room, he found that the bald boy's eyes had changed, and his expression was also complicated, but overall he was happy.

"The son of the Shen family, he must not be able to stand the coarse linen practice clothes, give them to me. The bald boy Liu Yi smiled: "Yanwutang is just around the corner in front, go by yourself!"

It seems that he overheard the conversation between himself and Shen Shufang just now, and he knows something about his family background.

Schadenfreude, Shen Lang understands very well.
