Chapter 8 Teaching Martial Arts
They hurried early during the day, found a place to stay in the evening, and five days later, they had entered the territory of Hengshan County, and they could already see the majestic and magnificent Hengshan Mountain. After Lu Qing and Ma Tao saw it www.biquge.info they kept asking Liu Qingzhou, "Master, is that Hengshan?" "Master, where is our mountain gate?" "Master, is there still one of our senior brothers on the mountain?" Liu Qingzhou began to answer with a smile, but he couldn't stand the two of them asking non-stop, so he didn't answer anymore.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Liu Qingzhou pulled the reins and said to them: "Qing'er, Tao'er, sit tight, let's go up the mountain." As he spoke, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the yellow horse neighed and rushed forward. After a short time, he went up to the Huiyan Peak.
I saw that in the middle of the mountain gate, there were three big characters written "Hengshan School", and the horse ran up for several miles and came to the gate. Liu Qingzhou reined in the horse, turned over and got off the yellow horse, hugged Lu Qing and Ma Tao off the horse, and said, "Let's go, let's go home." As he spoke, he pushed open the door and shouted, "Uncle Sun, Jian'er, I'm back!" The gatekeeper hurriedly ran out, took the reins from Liu Qingzhou's hand, and said, "Door master, you're back." Liu Qingzhou nodded.
At this time, Uncle Sun and Dugu Jian also ran out of the house, and Dugu Jian threw himself into Liu Qingzhou's arms with a move of "Milk Yan Throwing into His Arms", and shouted happily: "Master, you are back!" Uncle Sun also stood aside and looked at Liu Qingzhou happily. After greeting each other, Dugu Jian noticed Lu Qing and Ma Tao behind Liu Qingzhou, and Sun Boxian asked: "Door master, I don't know who these two are the sons of the Lu family?
Liu Qingzhou shook his head: "This matter is a long story, none of them are the sons of the Lu family, these two are the two new apprentices I took on the way back, Lu Qing and Ma Tao." Qing'er, Tao'er, come and meet Grandpa Sun and your senior brother. Lu Qing and Ma Tao hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the two: "Lu Qing (Ma Tao) to meet Grandpa Sun and meet Senior Brother!" Uncle Sun was very happy to see that Liu Qingzhou had accepted two more apprentices, and Dugu Jian was also very happy to see that he had two more junior brothers. Liu Qingzhou said: "Uncle Sun, there are many twists and turns along the way, let's go into the house first, and wait for me to talk slowly." So saying, he led the people into the main hall.
At that moment, everyone sat down, Liu Qingzhou took a sip of tea, and then he and Lu Shisan went down the mountain to Yanjing City to save people, Lu Shisan was killed, he returned alone, and reported to Yue Fei about the enemy's situation, as well as the whole process of accepting Lu Qing and Ma Tao slowly. Dugu Jian, Lu Qing, and Ma Tao are still young, and many of them still don't understand, and it's inconvenient to ask more. It's just that Uncle Sun sighed again and again when he heard it: "I didn't expect that the 'Heavenly Sword' Nangong Xuan also took refuge in the Golden Dog, this time the Golden Dog is going south again, and my Great Song Dynasty is another disaster." ”
Liu Qingzhou frowned lightly: "Yes, I hope General Yue can defeat the Jin soldiers and stop them from going south." He also said: "Uncle Sun, you order someone to prepare and arrange a room for Qing'er and Tao'er." Tomorrow I will officially accept them as disciples and worship the ancestors. Uncle Sun answered, then got up and went down to prepare. Liu Qingzhou asked Dugu Jian again: "Jian'er, have your kung fu and homework fallen during this time?" Dugu Jian got up and replied: "Tell the master, no, it's just that the last three swords of the 'Purple Cover Sword Technique' have not been practiced yet, and I still have to ask the master for guidance." Liu Qingzhou twisted his beard and said: "Okay, after worshipping Master Zu tomorrow, I will first teach Qing'er and Tao'er the introductory kung fu, and then come to see your swordsmanship." ”
At that moment, Dugu Jian, Lu Qing, and Ma Tao stood up and bowed to Liu Qingzhou: "Thank you, Master." Liu Qingzhou smiled and waved his hand: "Jian'er, you take Qing'er and Tao'er around, you are familiar with the environment, and your brothers are also close to each other." Go ahead, take a break for the teacher. ”
Dugu Jian received the master's order, and then took Lu Qing and Ma Tao out of the house, and told the two of them about the arrangements in the faction one by one. Children like to be lively by nature, Dugu Jian has two more junior brothers who are about the same age, and the three of them will become familiar after a while, and the sound of laughter and slapstick will spread......
Early in the morning of the second day, Uncle Sun had already arranged the incense hall properly, Liu Qingzhou came to the incense hall with three disciples, ordered Dugu Jian to stand aside, Lu Qing and Ma Tao stood behind him, he first gave three incense sticks to the tablet of the first head of Hengshan, and then took Lu Qing and Ma Tao to kneel in front of the incense case, and bowed loudly: "The twenty-sixth generation head of the Hengshan faction, Liu Qingzhou, a disciple of the unscrupulous, would like to tell the ancestors of the past dynasties, there are Lu Ziqing and Ma Zitao, worship under my door, and the boat burns incense and prays today to comfort the ancestors. Goodbye. After speaking, he solemnly bowed three more times. He stood up and said to Lu Qing and Ma Tao: "Lu Qing, Ma Tao, kowtow to the ancestor and the heads of the previous generations. ”
The two children also followed Liu Qingzhou's example, and solemnly kowtowed three times to the tablet: "Disciple Lu Qing (Ma Tao) kowtows to the ancestor and the ancestors of the previous dynasties." After reading it, Liu Qingzhou sat on the chair next to him, and Uncle Sun drank: "Lu Qing, Ma Tao, come here, kowtow to your master and serve tea!" Lu Qing and Ma Tao got up and came to Liu Qingzhou's side, knelt down, picked up the tea with both hands, and handed it to Liu Qingzhou: "Master, please use tea!" Liu Qingzhou first took Lu Qing's tea, opened the lid and took a sip, and then handed it to Lu Qing, and then took Ma Tao's tea, and also took a sip: "Okay, Qing'er, Tao'er, from now on, you will officially be my apprentice, Qing'er is second, Tao'er is third, you have to love each other in the future, get up. The two of them said in unison, "Thank you, Master!" "Jian'er, come here." You two have come to see your elder brother. Dugu Jian approached, Lu Qing and Ma Tao saluted: "I've seen senior brother!" Dugu Jian smiled and returned the salute: "Two junior brothers, don't be polite." ”
Liu Qingzhou looked at the three of them: "From now on, you will be brothers, you must be like brothers and help each other." There are not many rules in our Hengshan sect, you remember these rules: do not do evil, be a traitor, do not kill each other, suspicion and jealousy, do not deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, betray the teacher, do not defect to the enemy and treason, and collude with other races. There is nothing else, in the future, you can slowly read the precepts of the master, learn slowly, understand?" The three of them responded in unison: "Yes, follow the master's teachings." ”
Then, Liu Qingzhou ordered Uncle Sun to clean up the incense hall, and he took the three of them to the martial arts arena, he looked at the three of them and said: "Jian'er, you go over there to practice the sword first, and then go over for the teacher to see." Dugu Jian greeted him, took the long sword, and went to the side to practice. Liu Qingzhou said to Lu Qing and Ma Tao: "Qing'er, Tao'er, our Hengshan's kung fu pays attention to lightness, mainly swordsmanship, supplemented by fists. The leg method is mainly for practicing light work, and the internal force must be gradual and accumulated over time before it can be practiced. Therefore, after dinner, I will teach you the internal skills, and you two will go back to your room to practice. Now, I'm going to teach you how to get started. Look carefully!" As he spoke, he slapped the sixty-four styles of the entrance to Hengshan, and Lu Qing and Ma Tao were very excited and enthusiastic. Liu Qingzhou finished the last gesture and turned around and asked the two: "Do you see clearly?" The two shook their heads, and Liu Qingzhou smiled: "Come, follow me to learn one move at a time." As he spoke, he took the two of them to practice one move at a time.
In fact, a set of martial arts is not that the more paths there are, the more difficult it is, but the fewer the more difficult it will be. Because the more paths, the fewer changes it will have in each move, and the more straight it will be. And those kung fu with fewer paths, most of them are often more advanced, and its move changes will be very confusing, such as the most profound "Hengshan Six Styles" in the Hengshan School swordsmanship, although there are only six moves, but just these six moves, even the "Heavenly Sword" Nangong Xuan's pair of fleshy palms dare not go straight to its edge.
After Liu Qingzhou taught Lu Qing and Ma Tao here, he came over there to guide Dugu Jian's swordsmanship, looking at Dugu Jian's swordsmanship, and every move and style were well founded, Liu Qingzhou was very pleased, so he couldn't stop speaking out next to him, naming the shortcomings of Dugu Jian's swordsmanship.
In this way, for several months, Liu Qingzhou instructed the three apprentices on the mountain to do kung fu, and never went down the mountain again. Lu Qing and Ma Tao's talents are also very good, and they have made rapid progress.
At the end of August of this year, Jin Wushu led an army to invade the south and attack Chuzhou. Yue Fei led his troops to the rescue, although he won three battles outside the city of Chuzhou, but finally because of isolation, he had to retreat, and the defender Zhao Li was killed, and Chuzhou was finally captured by the Jin soldiers. The hundreds of thousands of troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi on the western front, under the command of the privy envoy Zhang Jun, first won several small battles, but unexpectedly were defeated by Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Lou in Fuping, most of Shaanxi was occupied by Jin soldiers, and the Great Song Dynasty fought another big defeat.
Although Liu Qingzhou never came down the mountain, he also heard these news, and he was very resentful, but he was helpless, so he could only teach the three disciples quickly, hoping that they could grow up quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it came to the end of the year, and the Hengshan faction was also a big faction on the rivers and lakes, which had been inherited for hundreds of years, but also had a lot of heritage. Liu Qingzhou has always handed over these things to Uncle Sun to take care of, and he just listened to Uncle Sun's sorting results, which is still the case this year.
The mountain is full of lights, and a lot of New Year's goods are purchased, and Liu Qingzhou also gave the three apprentices a holiday, except for practicing the swordsmanship and palm technique for an hour every morning, and the internal skills practice at night, the rest of the time is for them to play by themselves. The three teenagers were very happy.
The 30th night of the New Year's Eve is the first New Year for Lu Qing and Ma Tao to go to the mountain, which is naturally more lively. In the capital, Emperor Gaozong also changed the name of the year to "Shaoxing", hoping to recover the country and revitalize the Great Song Dynasty with the meaning of "Shaozuo Zhongxing".
After the New Year, Liu Qingzhou on the mountain continued to teach his apprentices, but there was a lot of news from the mountain, and there was less about the two countries at war, after all, it took time to accumulate strength and prepare for the next confrontation. But there is a lot of bad news in the martial arts, the news of Nangong's annihilation and defection to the Jin people has been known to many people, because he has continuously eliminated the martial arts people who resisted the Jin in Shanxi, Hebei, and many sects have been wiped out by him, and even the big factions of Shaolin, Beggar Gang, Songshan, and Huashan have suffered a lot of losses, and the name of "Heavenly Sword" has suppressed many people.
After Liu Qingzhou got the news, he let out a long sigh, and wanted to go down the mountain to meet him for a while, but when he had not yet made the trip, he got the news again, in April, the old head of the Taishan faction, Chi Chongxiao, and Nangong extinguished a big battle on Mount Tai, and died of serious injuries, the people of the Taishan faction, the casualties were also very heavy, if it were not for the son of the old head of Chi Xianqiu with some disciples not in the faction, I am afraid that he would also be killed.
After that, it angered another famous person, that is, another one of the four great swordsmen of the "Tianxin Flying Immortal" - "Heart Sword" Fang Mianfang Daxia, he issued a war letter and made an appointment to fight Nangong to destroy. On the fifth day of the fifth day of May, at the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be a showdown with Nangong on Mount Tai.
For a time, the people in the martial arts actually rushed to tell each other that they all wanted to watch the battle on Mount Tai. Nangong Xuan was not afraid at all and agreed. When Liu Qingzhou heard the news, he also instructed Uncle Sun to stay in the mountains and take care of his three apprentices, and he also planned to go to Mount Tai to help Fang Mian.
He packed his bags, took the "Danxin" sword, confessed to the three apprentices, and went down to Mount Tai from Hengshan. Along the way, he did not stop, crossed the Yangtze River from Ezhou, passed through Shucheng, and walked most of the distance in more than ten days. On this day, I arrived in Xuzhou, here is the helmsman of the Liding Gang in Huaibei, but the gang leader Li Wenxin was tragically killed by Nangong a month ago, and many elders and helmsmen in the gang were also killed, and the momentum of the Liding Gang was greatly reduced, and many gangs fled in all directions. This sound shook the number one gang in Huaibei, and it will never return to its former glory. Liu Qingzhou knew that since he had passed, although he was not very familiar with the people of the Liding Gang, it was not good not to go to the helm of the Liding Gang in the west of the city, reported his name, handed over the post, and after a while, several people came to greet him.
I saw that these people were all dressed in plains, with sad faces, and when they saw Liu Qingzhou, they all hugged their fists and saluted, and the leader said: "Wu Daquan, the helmsman of the Liding Gang Beishui, has seen the head of Liu." Liu Qingzhou returned the salute: "Master Wu Helm, mourning, I was shocked to hear that Gang Leader Li was unfortunately killed, and I am also very sad, so I came to give Gang Master Li a stick of incense and give him a ride." "Thank you to Master Liu Gaoyi, please. Wu Daquan said, and invited Liu Qingzhou to talk to everyone.
Liu Qingzhou entered the mourning hall, first put on the incense, bowed three times, and then talked to Wu Daquan and others. Wu Daquan had already received a military position, but because of such a major incident in the gang, many brothers in the gang asked him to come back to preside over the overall situation, and he couldn't refuse, so he barely managed to maintain it. He relied on courage to convince people, and he was not good at scheming, but he was temporarily pushed to a high position, which was also a helpless move in the gang.
Therefore, he wanted to ask Liu Qingzhou for some methods and skills that could help the Liding Gang survive the crisis. Liu Qingzhou didn't hide his secrets, and chatted with Wu Daquan for a whole afternoon, until the first day of the lantern, and the two didn't finish speaking. So, they had dinner and continued to talk for a long time, and Wu Daquan really benefited a lot. Later, the Liding Gang was able to regain its prestige and gallop Jianghuai, so it can be said that Liu Qingzhou and Wu Daquan's long talk did play a great role.
Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Qingzhou said goodbye to Wu Daquan and others, and prepared to set off to continue to Mount Tai. Suddenly, a thin boy rushed out of the crowd, grabbed Liu Qingzhou's shirt, knelt on the ground, looked up at him, and shouted: "Please, accept me as an apprentice!" Wu Daquan was taken aback when he saw the boy: "Young Master Jiang, what are you doing here?" Liu Qingzhou looked at the boy, then at Wu Daquan, and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to be my apprentice?" Wu Daquan didn't wait for the boy to answer: "Master Liu, this is Jiang Xu, the son of the former Jiangnanfeng Lord of Zhixian County, Jiang Daren loves the people like a son and is extremely sympathetic to the people. When the golden dog went south, Lord Jiang organized a righteous army to resist Jin, but unfortunately it was dispersed, and Lord Jiang was also seriously injured...... Alas, everyone saw that Young Master Jiang was pitiful, so they all gave a helping hand and took more care of him. It's just that Young Master Jiang is bent on practicing martial arts to kill the enemy, but his body is weak, and our Liding Gang is good at foreign kung fu, so we can only teach him some ways to strengthen his body. Therefore...... "Wu Daquan doesn't say it here, Liu Qingzhou also knows why, the foreign kung fu of the Liding Gang, if the physique is strong, the more you practice, the more powerful it will be, if the body is weak, you can't practice, so all the people in the Liding Gang are five strong men with three thicknesses." This kind of kung fu to boil up strength, Jiang Xu really can't practice.
Liu Qingzhou looked at Jiang Xu again, only to see that this little guy's eyes were very firm, and the little hand that grabbed his shirt was also very tight, he laughed and said to Wu Daquan: "Master Wu, since this is the case, Liu's kung fu is quite reasonable, if I don't dislike it, how about I accept this child?" Wu Daquan showed joy: "Master Liu, if this child can worship you as a teacher, it is also his great blessing, presumably Lord Jiang will be very happy in the spirit of the sky." Young Master Jiang, kowtow to Master Liu, he promised to accept you. ”
When Jiang Xu heard this, he immediately kowtowed three times: "Apprentice Jiang Xu to meet the master." Liu Qingzhou touched Jiang Xu's head, and said to Wu Daquan with a smile: "Master Wu, then I will take Xu'er away." Wu Daquan said: "Then there is the head of Lao Liu to worry about." The two sides said goodbye, and Liu Qingzhou took Jiang Xu to continue his journey to Mount Tai.
Mount Tai, since ancient times, there is the reputation of "the head of the five mountains", "the only respect of the five mountains", the emperors of the past dynasties continue to carry out the activities of sealing Zen and sacrificing in Mount Tai, and many literati and writers have also come to travel, compose poems and write essays. And the people of the martial arts are even more respectful of Mount Tai, for hundreds of years, when they see major events, they are gathered on Mount Tai to discuss. Since the creation of the Taishan faction in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has gone through 33 heads, and there are six martial arts alliance leaders, and its power is so strong that even the Shaolin beggars have to look at it. can be the same as the Hengshan faction, the old incident thirty years ago, the talents in the faction withered, and the momentum was greatly reduced. Although the efforts of Chi Chongxiao in the past 30 years, the Taishan faction has never regained its former prosperity.
Now, with Nangong Annihilation's move, the Taishan faction is even more devastated by the Taishan faction, and the foundation for hundreds of years is already in jeopardy. Fortunately, Chi Xianqiu has the style of a father, and after succeeding to the head, he stabilized the form. This time, Fang Mian made an appointment to fight Nangong and was destroyed at the top of Mount Tai, and he led Mount Tai to send everyone to receive heroes and heroes from all walks of life, which was orderly and not chaotic at all. Liu Qingzhou and Chi Xianqiu also killed Jin Bing side by side three years ago, and the two formed a friendship.
On the fourth day of the fifth month, Liu Qingzhou took Jiang Xu to Mount Tai and learned that a large number of heroes and heroes had arrived, even Gu Feng, the head of Huashan, and the first Wuxiang Zen master of Shaolin Temple's Dharma Hall also came. Chi Xianqiu led everyone into the hall, and the Wuxiang Zen Master asked, "Master Chi, why is there no trace of Fang Daxia?" Chi Xianqiu replied: "So that you can know that the Daxia in front of you sent a letter three days ago, saying that he would arrive on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and fight with Nangong Xuan." Therefore, please rest here for one night and wait for the arrival of Fang Daxia tomorrow. Everyone nodded yes.
That night, Liu Qingzhou settled Jiang Xu to sleep, walked out slowly, and came to Chi Xianqiu's door, Fang raised his hand to knock on the door, but the door opened first. Chi Xianqiu saw Liu Qingzhou and said with a smile: "The night is long, it seems that Brother Liu has no intention of sleeping peacefully." Liu Qingzhou also smiled slightly: "Let's be each other." Brother Xian, how about walking together?" Chi Xianqiu said: "I can't ask for it. With that, the two of them walked out of the courtyard together and walked slowly on the mountain road.
Liu Qingzhou opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Xian, tomorrow is the period of decisive battle. Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are still worried about something?" Chi Xianqiu frowned slightly: "Brother, I'm worried about Fang Daxia." My father has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes all his life, and in the battle when he exterminated the Five Color Sect thirty years ago, how heavy the casualties of our entire martial arts were, the gang leaders of various factions, the elders and protectors of the law died countless times, and even the then alliance leader Liu Sihai had no bones, but my father was able to retreat with his whole body, and he had practiced diligently for the past thirty years, but he was still not the opponent of Nangong Xuan, I am only afraid that tomorrow's Fang hero will not be able to defeat him. Liu Qingzhou shook his head: "Brother Xian, I fought with Nangong Xuan last year, within two hundred moves, I can fight with him to a draw, so, I think that even if he improves his martial arts in the past six months, there will not be much gap with us, Fang Daxia is also one of the four swordsmen of the 'Tianxin Flying Immortal', and the four of them are already in the middle of the martial arts, in the past few years, I heard that Fang Daxia has practiced in retreat, and I believe that Fang Daxia must have a certain certainty." ”
Chi Xianqiu nodded: "I hope so." With a long sigh, he looked up at the sky again: "Brother, have you gotten the news?" Zhang Feng's dog thief returned south with Qin Hui a few years ago and entered Lin'an Mansion, the emperor has appointed Qin Hui as a governor, and Zhang Feng has also become the Marquis of Duyu in front of the palace. Thinking that the golden dog must promise them some benefits, otherwise how could they be traitors like Nangong Xuan. ”
Liu Qingzhou nodded, and shook his head again: "There is no doubt that Nangong has taken refuge in the Golden Dog, he killed so many heroes and heroes of our Great Song Dynasty, and this hatred is not shared." But Qin Hui and Zhang Feng are still uncertain. When Bianliang City was broken, Qin Hui was also a strong advocate of resisting gold, and Zhang Feng made a great effort in resisting gold. To say that they surrendered to the Golden Dog, we don't have evidence yet, it's too early. Chi Xianqiu defended: "Even so, how should the account of 'Fairy Sword' Duguyun be calculated?" Liu Qingzhou said: "Brother Xian, we can't be blinded by hatred, yes, I admit that rumors are raging in the rivers and lakes that Zhang Feng killed Duguyun and took refuge in Jinren." Therefore, before we find out this matter, we still have to think carefully, after all, people are terrible, and the three of them become tigers. If you wronged a good person, wouldn't it make the golden dogs happy?" Chi Xianqiu was silent and nodded: "What my brother said is very true. ”
Liu Qingzhou knew that Chi Xianqiu was extremely resentful of Nangong because of the loss of his father, and he was not easy to comfort, so he patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Xian, we have been chatting for so long, it is not early, go back, everything will wait for Fang Daxia to come tomorrow." Chi Xianqiu said: "It's okay." The two returned to the courtyard and went back to their rooms to sleep.
