Chapter 142: Baguazhang

"Sir, how many?" a waiter greeted him.

"I'm the only one. Xu Lai nodded and took the menu from the waiter's hand.

"Sir, I'm sorry, there are a lot of people, and there are guests waiting, why don't you order first, and when you order, I'll come over?"

"I've already ordered it, just order sizzling beef, braised crucian carp, spicy pork ribs, by the way, try to be as spicy as possible. ”

"Okay, you wait, there will be a seat soon, here's your number, number 49. ”

After ordering the food, Xu took a look around, and there were really not many people waiting. All of them are full of greed, no way, the food here is so fragrant, greedy people just want to drool.

After Xu Lai stood for half a minute, he finally couldn't stand still.

In it, it is simply the greatest test of a person's sense of taste. If he doesn't go out again, Xu Lai will have to suspect that he will drool.

I don't know what kind of person can make such a delicious taste.

Xu Lai shook his head and walked out of the gate of the gluttonous restaurant.

"Huh?" As soon as he went out, Xu Lai's eyes couldn't help but light up, but there was a bookstore next to the restaurant.

Xu Lai involuntarily walked over.

After coming closer, Xu Lai found that this bookstore turned out to be an antique bookstore.

"Ancient books?" Xu Lai's heart moved, and he was worried that he was too bored to wait for food now, but he didn't expect to see an ancient bookstore here, and walked over immediately.

The boss was an old man with a goatee, and when he saw Xu coming over, he just nodded lightly.

Xu Lai took a look at it, most of the books here are old books from the past, most of them are 70 years ago, and some are hand-copied books from the Republic of China and even the Qing Dynasty.

The printed version of the book is placed on the outside, and the rare hand-copied books are placed in glass boxes.

Xu Lai was in the bookstore, slowly reading one book at a time, but unfortunately, most of the books were not poetry collections, just novels, or biographies or something, or some medical books such as the Compendium of Materia Medica, the Emperor's Neijing, etc.

Although Xu Lai has thought about studying medicine, there is no need to buy these ancient books to study, it is too luxurious.

After turning around, Xu Lai still didn't know what kind of book to buy to pass the time, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on a book in the corner.

It was a printed book, and the book was called "Baguazhang".

Xu Laidang's eyes lit up, three years of high school, and more than two years of reading novels in mixed time, of course, he knew that Baguazhang was one of the three major internal fists in Huaguo, which was very powerful, and there was a person named Dong Haichuan in history who practiced Baguazhang, which is said to be almost invincible in the world.

Of course, Xu Lai's purpose in practicing Baguazhang is not to be invincible in the world, he just needs to be able to strengthen his body, protect himself, and then defeat Fang Qianluo by the way.

Xu Lai picked up the book and looked at it, the book was a unified print in 1963, the author was a person named Jiang Rongqiao, and when he opened it, it was still in traditional characters.

Xu Lai's heart moved, for martial arts, Xu Lai has always felt that the ancient ones should be more powerful than the modern ones, and the more ancient they are, the more powerful they should be. Although this book is not very old, it is also traditional anyway, and it is also uniformly printed, no matter what, it will definitely not be a fake, and it will be more reliable than what is circulating on the Internet today.

Thinking of this, Xu Lai immediately picked up the book and asked, "Boss, how much is this book?"

The boss raised his eyes and said, "The 1963 version of "Baguazhang", written by Jiang Rongqiao, is priced at 30 yuan. ”

"30 yuan, it's a bit expensive, can the boss introduce me, who is this Mr. Jiang who wrote the book?" Xu Lai's heart moved, and he decided to inquire about the news of the book.

The old man with a goatee raised his head and said expressionlessly: "Jiang Rongqiao is a famous martial artist in modern times, a master of Baguazhang, it is said that he once learned art with Dong Haichuan, a master of gossip, and his book "Baguazhang" is known as the closest to Dong Haichuan's Baguazhang kung fu, although there are some records of some tricks missing, but it can be called authentic, for decades, several copies, several times sold out, circulated innumerable, very classic. ”

After listening to the boss's introduction, Xu Lai frowned, it is said that there is no evidence, it is said that it is not true, and if it is missing, it is very popular, which can be called authentic, that is, it is not authentic. Fortunately, there are still several copies, which have been circulated countless times, and the combined meaning is that although you can't become a master after practice, there will never be a problem.

However, Xu Lai's requirements are all there for, you can't expect 30 yuan to be able to buy a copy of Dong Haichuan's secret gossip.

Xu Lai touched his pocket and took out a 50's, "Boss, that's all there is to it." ”

Xu Lai touched the cover of the book with some joy, to be honest, he didn't have much hope for the book.

If it had been before, his heart would never have turned to this.

However, at the very least, this book is good as an enlightenment.

"By the way, boss, do you have a book on "Lost Fist" here?"

""Lost Fist" is naturally there, but it is not recommended that you practice, there are a lot of omissions in it. The old man glanced at him faintly.

"Ah, there's still something missing. ”

"That's natural, everyone's kung fu is like this, the public's routines can be made public, but secret or peerless learning is absolutely passed down from generation to generation. The old man said disdainfully.

"I see. Xu Lai nodded thoughtfully.

was about to turn around and leave, but there was a sudden pause: Wait, since this boss even knows so well that there are flaws in "Lost Fist", is he the legendary hidden master?

Xu Laimeng turned his head and turned on the soul scan at the same time.

"Damn, 0.4 standard hands are powerless?"

Looking at the data of the old man under the soul scan, Xu Lai was immediately disappointed.

The value of 0.4 is less than half of his, and it is not as good as an ordinary middle-aged man, and naturally it is even less likely to be a so-called hidden master.

Xu Lai shook his head with some disappointment, and returned to the gluttonous restaurant with "Baguazhang".

"Waiter, how many numbers are there?"

"It's already fried on the 38th, it's almost there!"

"Still on the 38th?" Xu Lai sighed helplessly, swallowed heavily, and simply leaned against the wall to read the book.

In fact, before the change, Xu Lai had no interest in this so-called "cheats". Because it's too big, at least it has to be "Jiuyang Divine Skill" and "Jiuyin True Scripture" to match his identity.

It's just that even Lao Xie is practicing "Lost Trace Boxing", if he can't even look down on "Baguazhang", which is more famous than "Lost Trace Boxing", then what else can he practice?

After all, this is just a real world, everyone is practicing these kung fu, no one is an exception, what else can he ask for?
