Chapter 3: Gifted
After Zhong Yuanpeng finished speaking, he untied his night clothes, revealing his iron-like body, Luo Zhu and the others screamed, it turned out that he couldn't find a good place on his body, knife wounds, sword wounds, palm wounds, gunshot wounds, burns, frostbite, old injuries added to new wounds, long and short, thick and thin, horizontal, vertical and vertical staggered together, dense and dense to count. Zhong Yuanpeng said with a smile: "So many injuries still can't kill the foolish brother, and the foolish brother is enough to be proud." He pointed to the two overlapping black palm prints on his chest and said: "This is the first inorganic Zen master of the Shaolin Dharma Academy, the old monk's "Great Compassion Palm" has entered the realm, I am not the enemy of him, if it is not for the fast, life has been lost in Shaolin, the most serious injury is it." He pointed to more than 20 sword wounds and said: "Six of the sword wounds are left by the Zhengyi faction, and their "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" is so good, fortunately, the two masters in the Tiantian faction are not there, and the swordsmanship of the second generation of disciples has not yet been completed, so the foolish brother barely escaped." The other dozen or so sword wounds came from You Longmen, although their swordsmanship was agile and fast, but the internal strength and heart method were average, the sword qi was not strong, and although there were many external injuries, the meridians were not in serious trouble. The most ridiculous thing is the Big Bear Gang, not even a single hair of the foolish brother was injured, it is really an insult to the ancestors of the Big Bear, and one generation is not as good as the next. ”
Luo Zhu and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it, although Zhong Yuanpeng said that it was an understatement, but the danger can be imagined. The Big Bear Gang is a big gang in the Jiangnan area, and its disciples are so angry when they walk on the street to show off their martial arts, how can they be so useless in front of Zhong Yuanpeng? Zhong Yuanpeng took out four ancient books from his arms, threw them on the table, and said: "This is the secret book of martial arts of the four factions. Look at it. The two of them saw that there were Shaolin's internal strength treasure book "Yijin Jing", Zhengyi's swordsmanship mastery "Demon Suppression Sword Codex", You Longmen's "Qinglong Youfeng Sword", and the Big Bear Gang's "Overlord Divine Qi Armor". The two of them gasped, revealing a look of disbelief, knowing that any copy spread on the rivers and lakes would cause a huge commotion, they finally knew how big Zhong Yuanpeng's trouble was, and it was strange that the masters of the four factions did not look for him desperately.
Zhong Yuanpeng said: "If you like it, take it and see it first." Luo Tianchu said: "We don't know martial arts, we can't see any fame, this is the eldest brother desperately earned, or the eldest brother should put it away." Zhong Yuanpeng nodded and said: "It's okay, my injury won't heal for a while, I'll teach you some basic kung fu during this time, and then train you well after returning to the Blood Knife Castle." The two were overjoyed, and Luo Tianchu said: "Big brother, how serious is your injury, look at your face is not abnormal, and walking and eating is not in the way." Zhong Yuanpeng laughed and said: "Brother Fool's injury is not inside or outside, I now have one foot in the ghost gate, and I may die at any time." The two were shocked, and Zhu Yushi said: "Big brother, don't teach us kung fu, the coming day is long, your healing is important, I will help you catch any herbs you need." Zhong Yuanpeng was relieved: "Brother Fool's injury is in the meridians, and the herbs are useless, so he can only heal his injuries by himself." Three hours a day, more is useless, life or death depends on God's arrangement. But in any case, you have to leave in a month, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with Zhao Hengshan's birthday. Luo Tianchu said: "For a joke, is it worth taking half a life?" Zhong Yuanpeng said firmly: "It's worth it, if it is Zhao Hengshan who loses the bet, he will also go to the imperial city to tie up three concubines to me, and he will rest until he dies." When it comes to doing it, he is a hero!" Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi were enthusiastic, thinking that they would also be heroes like Zhong Yuanpeng. ”
Then the three of them married Jinlan, Zhong Yuanpeng was the eldest brother, Luo Tianchu was one year old when Zhu Yushi was the second brother, and Zhu Yushi was the third brother. "I don't want to be born in the same year and month, but I want to die in the same year, month and day. Luo Tianchu and Zhu Yushi worshiped Zhong Yuanpeng, and said in unison: "Big brother!" Zhong Yuanpeng smiled and helped each other, and said: "Foolish brother has no relatives and no reason, from now on you are the relatives of foolish brother." ”
After the uprising, Zhong Yuanpeng told them interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, the two listened to it with relish, and they forgot about themselves, and before they knew it, it was getting late, they ate the leftovers, and the two of them did not dare to persuade him to eat and drink after learning of Zhong Yuanpeng's injury. After dinner, Zhu Yushi said goodbye and went home to accompany his mother, and before leaving, Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Come here early tomorrow morning, and the foolish brother will teach you martial arts." Zhu Yushi left with great joy.
That night, Zhong Yuanpeng was alone in the bedroom to heal his injuries, Luo Tianchu couldn't sleep in the hall, so he remembered that he was bullied by Song Lianfeng last night, and planned to see the martial arts of the Zhengyi faction, and he was also prepared for the next fight, so he borrowed the "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" from Zhong Yuanpeng to watch. Who knew that the sword score was very profound, and although he knew the words, he couldn't understand the meaning of the formula. It turned out that the formulas were all meridians and acupoints, and he had never practiced martial arts, of course, he didn't know it, and he thought that although he couldn't understand it, he could memorize it strongly, and slowly ask Brother Zhong for advice in the future. He is extremely smart, he never forgets to read books, and if someone disciplines him, with his understanding and talent, it is not difficult to title the gold list. It's just because the "Demon Suppression Sword Codex" is too awkward. He looked at it three times under the dim light before he memorized it word for word, and at this time it was already the third watch, and drowsiness hit, and he lay on the ground and fell asleep.
When he woke up, he felt that his head was heavy and dizzy as if it had been filled with lead, and he knew that he was drunk. When he looked up, he saw Zhong Yuanpeng with his back to him, watching the wildflowers in the backyard, and said with a smile: "Second brother slept well." Luo Tianchu said curiously: "Big brother has long eyes in the back of his head, how do you know that I wake up?" Zhong Yuanpeng turned around and said: "When you practice martial arts to a certain level, you will have a sense of gaze and murderous aura, and you will understand it later." ”
At this time, Zhu Yushi pushed the door in, holding a long burden in his arms, and said with a smile: "Look what I brought." He spread the burden on the ground and untied it, and inside were three worn-out official knives, and said with a smile: "This is what my father used when he was on an errand in the Yamen before his death, and I used it to defend Brother Zhong." Luo Tianchu picked up an official knife, took it out and took a look, and saw that the blade was rusty, and the edge of the knife was blunt, but it was made of muddy iron, and it was still a good knife after grinding, and he said happily: "Good boy, I will make a credit to you." Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Third brother, you came with weapons, but did anyone pay attention to you, did anyone follow you?" Zhu Yushi was stunned and said: "I didn't pay attention, there shouldn't be, there are not many pedestrians in the early morning, it should be fine." Zhong Yuanpeng nodded and said: "Your burden of loading weapons is too conspicuous, this time it is your luck, you must be more careful in the future, and you must not be sloppy in walking the rivers and lakes." The two nodded yes.
Zhong Yuanpeng said: "Brother Foolish, I will teach you martial arts first. For example, people with thick bones and strong bodies are not suitable for practicing light body kung fu, only suitable for foreign kung fu, and the foolish brother is an example. On the contrary, it is also extremely difficult for thin and thin people to practice external skills. The two virtuous brothers are medium-sized physiques, and they can practice softness and rigidity, but the foolish brother still has to see if your bones are suitable for learning martial arts. Saying that, he stretched out his hand and pressed Zhu Yushi's head, neck, shoulders, back, chest, knees, and calves a few times, and said happily: "Third brother, your qualifications are good, and you are a good material for martial arts. Zhu Yushi was overjoyed when he heard this, rubbing his hands excitedly, and couldn't wait to practice martial arts.
Zhong Yuanpeng began to inspect Luo Tianchu's bones, only pressed two places and said "Huh", and pinched it again, each check was very serious, the expression on his face became more and more serious, and finally a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said to himself: "This ...... This is a latent keel. Luo Tianchu saw him silent for a long time, thinking that he was not suitable for learning martial arts, and said anxiously: "Big brother, how is it?" Zhong Yuanpeng did not answer, pinched it again from the beginning, and thought: "Second brother, you are seventeen years old, I don't know if it is too late, but if you can learn martial arts at the age of seven, it is not surprising that you become a generation of grandmasters, your bones are none of the 'hidden dragon bones', and the foolish brother only knows that the lord of the castle is the same as you." Luo Tianchu said worriedly: "Is it too late for the little brother to practice martial arts now?" Zhong Yuanpeng said: "The second brother's bones are clear, the foolish brother does not dare to make conclusions, the younger the age of learning martial arts, the better, I hope you are an exception." Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "Your kid has good qualifications." Zhong Yuanpeng said: "No matter how good the qualifications are, it is useless if you don't work hard, the foolish brother will first teach you to understand the acupoints and meridians on the body." ”
In the next few hours, Zhong Yuanpeng explained to them the twelve veins of the canon and the eight veins of the strange scriptures, as well as the important one hundred and eight acupoints, to his relief, Luo Zhu and the two of them have a very amazing memory, and after talking about it once, they memorized eighty percent, and after repeated questions, they finished their homework in half a month. Zhong Yuanpeng warned them not to be complacent, recognizing acupoints is only the foundation, and hitting acupoints is the goal, which can only be achieved after long-term actual combat.
Then began to teach the two of them knife techniques, Zhong Yuanpeng demonstrated a set of "mountain splitting knife method", a total of eighteen moves, and there are not many tricks, suitable for beginners to learn. After Zhong Yuanpeng finished playing, he asked, "How many tricks do you remember?" Zhu Yushi said: "Half." Zhong Yuanpeng said with satisfaction: "It's rare, what about you, second brother?" Luo Tianchu scratched his head and said, "It seems that I have remembered everything." Zhong Yuanpeng's face sank, and he said in disbelief: "I'll see it." Luo Tianchu said "yes", and immediately played it, except for the blunt movements, there was no mistake in the moves. Zhong Yuanpeng was surprised and delighted, thinking that the second brother was so talented, he would definitely learn martial arts in a thousand days, although the third brother was slightly inferior, but it was also excellent, and these two might become the pillars of my castle in the future. Joy is rejoicing, but they can't be proud and complacent, and said solemnly: "The knife must be smooth, the body must not be stiff, and it must be fast and accurate." An hour later, Luo Zhu and the others were familiar with the "Mountain Splitting Knife Technique", and their excitement was indescribable, and they did not feel tired at all.
At noon, Zhu Yushi went to the street to buy food and said: "There are many more martial arts people in the city, and even the public officials are alarmed, and the government posted a portrait of the eldest brother on the street and offered a reward of 3,000 yuan." Zhong Yuanpeng sneered: "Death and injury don't wave grievances, revenge doesn't seek the government, hum, the four factions are anxious to find the cheats, and they don't even care about the rules of the rivers and lakes." Ask the government for help, and the four major factions will not be less money. Luo Tianchu said: "The public will not really help the four major factions, and eighty percent of them will receive money to deal with it." ”
Zhong Yuanpeng suddenly sighed: "The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is corrupt, accumulating wealth has become a common practice, and it is powerful and beneficial to the people, but it is cowardly to the outside world. After the Jingkang Revolution, the golden dog occupied half of our country, Huizong, Qinzong and the two emperors were imprisoned in Liaoyang, and the national capital Tokyo has not been recovered. Luo Zhu and the others didn't know much about the general trend of the world, and said: "This is also something we can't do." Zhong Yuanpeng said: "War and politics really have nothing to do with us, but after all, the foolish brother is a Song person, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly in Shuzhong, and I thought that it was just that the Jin people were too strong. No matter how obedient the lamb is, sooner or later it will not escape the fate of being eaten by wolves. Luo Tianchu said: "Last time, the Jin soldiers captured Lin'an, claiming to arrest the official family, but who knew that the official family ran to the sea, and the Jin soldiers had no ship, so they had to withdraw." Xiao Zhu and I hid, and we hadn't even seen what Jin Bing looked like, waiting for our martial arts achievements to fight side by side with our eldest brother. ”
