0638, enter Tianma Village
Tianma Village is at the foot of Tianma Mountain, sixty miles northwest of Luo Po Village.
Zhou Chang with his seventy-two personal soldiers, and Ye Qing'er with four hundred and eighty guards, set off from Luo Po Village in Dongfang Bai.
Because there were enough war horses, Zhou Chang carefully selected a batch of top good horses, which led to the formation of this personal guard of 480 people for Ye Qing'er. Of them were a hundred and twenty girls, and three hundred and sixty strong men.
When selecting the team members, Zhou Chang learned that the people here have been practicing martial arts since they were young, and everyone has their own weapons.
It turned out that Luo Po Village had its own weapons workshop, and swords, guns, swords, and halberds could be built by themselves. In Ye Qing'er's guards, the men are all twelve-pound swords, and the girls are three-and-a-half-pound swords.
Seeing Zhou Chang's face full of doubts, Ye Qing'er pouted: "Nonsense, our ancestors migrated here from the north, and they were killed with real knives and guns along the way." To gain a foothold here, it is necessary not only to clash with the locals, but also to be able to defeat all the bandits. If we didn't know martial arts, would we be able to live here for more than 300 years?"
After two days of close contact, Zhou Chang has a better understanding of the customs and customs of Lingnan, and is full of expectations for this operation.
If the people of Lingnan were determined never to give in, even if the Manchu Tatars occupied the towns, it did not mean that they would be able to rule.
It is necessary to give them the confidence to defeat the enemy, and let them know that the Manchu Tartars are not three-headed and six-armed, and that the same sword can pierce two holes. As long as their minions are cut off, the Manchu Tartars will turn into reservoir dogs.
Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Li Chengdong and others, as well as the ill-intentioned Wu Liuqi and others, are the pawns of the Tartars, and the lackeys who wag their tails and beg for mercy to their masters.
Zhou Chang understands these truths, and has taken over this trouble, so there is no need to continue to weigh the pros and cons.
He sat on the back of the horse and was silent, letting his white dragon horse follow Ye Qing'er's jujube red horse to believe in the horse's reins, in fact, he didn't think about anything else, but recalled the difference between the northern and southern martial arts explained by the master Xiong Chu and his aunts.
There are various indications that Wu Liuqi's martial arts foundation belongs to the Southern School of Kung Fu.
If you don't win, you should think about defeat first. This is Xiong Chu's consistent strategy against the enemy, and naturally he also taught it to Zhou Chang, a disciple of the closed door.
Looking back at the history of the past thousands of years, the mutual conquest between Nambi and Pi has been throughout. From the beginning of the Yellow Emperor and Gonggong to today, there has never been a day when this confrontation has been truly eliminated.
It is precisely because of this historical background that the north and south have summed up their own strengths in actual combat skills based on their respective physical conditions and their respective geographical environments. Then, after thousands of tempers, it became the inheritance of the northern and southern martial arts.
Hebei Gao Tanma, Lingnan Qiao collapsed. The legs of the northern faction are good, and the fists of the southern faction are harder.
In short, the foundation of martial arts in the south is that the horse step is lower than the northern martial arts, and the lower plate is more stable, the most typical hard bridge and hard horse.
As the saying goes: the extremes of things must be opposed.
Because the lower plate is very stable, the martial arts body method in the south is more flexible than in the north.
This is what Master Xiong Chu has repeatedly emphasized, and it is impossible for Zhou Chang to forget.
The northern plains are vast, and there are flat rivers everywhere. Between flashes and moves, there's plenty of room for yourself to play.
The south is steep in mountains and surrounded by hidden cliffs. When jumping and jumping, you must be careful not to fall into the abyss at any time.
One side of the water and soil nurtures one side of the people, and one person is born to have a way. No one can ignore the differences, and Zhou Chang certainly won't.
The northerners have an upright temperament, and their martial arts moves are open and closed. With the advantage of their tall stature, they mainly attack the enemy's upper three lanes, showing their fierceness to the fullest.
Southerners have restrained personalities, and their martial arts moves pay attention to close-fitting short-term fights. They avoid the disadvantage of their small stature, and mainly attack the enemy's lower three lanes, infinitely magnifying their ability to be agile and mobile.
Zhou Chang was born in Shanxi, and has lived in Sichuan, Yunnan, Myanmar, and Vietnam for many years, and has had countless discussions with the locals.
When it comes to the broadness of his horizons, it is extremely incommensurate with Zhou Chang's age, and it is also very confusing.
Seeing that Zhou Chang's face sank like water, he didn't say a word along the way, Ye Qing'er, who had recovered Grandma Ye's dress, reined in the horse, and waited for Zhou Chang to come up and walk on the horse: "Senior brother, what are you thinking? Are you worried about the next competition? If you are not sure, the matter of revenge for my mother will be put back." It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and he is not in a hurry. ”
Zhou Chang looked at the depths of the mountain: "What is there to worry about? Rest assured, I never think about something meaningless. I have an aunt who used to tell me that someone has to do something. She said it was a sacrifice that required the courage to never look back. ”
"Just like my master, his biggest dream is to be bland. But for the benefit of more people, he was forced to give up his persistence and do what he didn't want to do without hesitation, and he gave all his energy. I'm not a fierce person, but the Manchu Tartars were all animals, and some things had to be done. ”
Gossip is a woman's nature, and Ye Qing'er seems to have discovered a new world: "What kind of person is Aunt Lan'er, and why does it have such a big influence on you?"
Zhou Chang's face turned red, and he couldn't say it in words: "Aunt Lan'er is a very ordinary person, a person who anyone will fall in love with her at a glance. She was once a beggar, then a slave, a slave who was almost killed. ”
Ye Qing'er didn't give up: "Isn't that Aunt Lan'er very beautiful?"
Zhou Chang glanced at Ye Qing'er and said angrily: "Nonsense, every one of my aunts is like a fairy." ”
"Heavenly immortals are heavenly immortals, what do you think I am doing?" Ye Qing'er did not relent: "Do you think I look like an ugly monster?"
"You said it yourself, I didn't mean anything. Zhou Chang didn't dare to look at Ye Qing'er's eyes, and he didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he quickly changed the topic: "How far is Tianma Village? When will Xie Zhiliang and Bu Yinglong arrive at the predetermined location?"
"Success or failure, I don't think they take it lightly. Since we have decided to go our separate ways, we just need to do our own thing. Ye Qing'er pointed to a mountain shrouded in white mist in the northwest: "Do you see it, that is Tianma Mountain, Tianma Village is at the foot of the southwest mountain." There are still about twenty miles to go, and I will definitely be able to arrive before dinner. ”
Five miles away from Tianma Village, someone had already greeted them, and then brought Zhou Chang, Ye Qinger and others into the village.
"This is Wu Biao, Wu Liuqi's brother. Ye Qing'er whispered to Zhou Chang in the back.
Nodding, Zhou Chang was silent, because he was thinking about other questions.
In his opinion, although this Wu Biao has good martial arts, there should be nothing outstanding about it, probably similar to the captain of the pro-soldiers behind him. If Wu Liuqi's subordinates were all at such a level, the situation would be much better today.
Tianma Mountain is not like a horse, Zhou Chang originally thought it should be like a horse, but in fact it is not.
Tianma Village was actually built on the edge of a horseshoe-shaped lake, and the surrounding building was adapted to local conditions, which was also a semicircle.
In a clearing in front of the semicircular enclosure, a ring has now been erected.
Zhou Chang took a look at it, the ring was more than ten zhang square, more than three feet high, and it was all built of logs, and there was a thick layer of wood on it.
There is no decoration on the ring.
There is neither a banner of "Punching the Tiger of Beishan and Kicking the Dragon of the East China Sea", nor is there anything like "Competing for the Master of the Martial Arts Alliance".
The ring is the ring, a bare wooden platform surrounded by a dozen blazing torches.
Zhou Chang stared at the direction of the wooden platform, but what he looked at was not the platform, but the dozens of banquets placed on the side of the platform, and only one person sat on each banquet.
In fact, there is no one at the banquet table now.
Zhou Chang thought that there was only one person sitting on each of them, but he found that the other three sides of the banquet table were empty, and only one chair was on the main seat due north.
Although there were no people sitting at the banquet table, it was already very lively.
The lively place is not here at the wine table, but on the edge of Horseshoe Lake. There were one or twenty bonfires lit there, and most of them were surrounded by a lot of people who were making a lot of noise, so it was very lively.
"See, the four empty bonfires are our Luo Po Village, Xie Zhiliang's Xie Gao Village, Bu Yinglong's Yuehu Village, and Huang Hairu's Gaoshan Village. ”
Ye Qing'er quietly stretched out her hand to pull Zhou Chang, and then walked towards a bonfire with no one around.
The one hundred and twenty girls and three hundred and sixty sturdy men brought by Ye Qing'er had already stood still on both sides of the bonfire. In the open space near the lake, the campfire was its own horses.
"Where is Wu Liuqi?" Zhou Chang and Ye Qing'er sat side by side by the bonfire: "Isn't he the master today, why haven't you seen him until now?"
Ye Qing'er snorted in her nose: "It's not that it's tricky, it makes people think that he is unfathomable." Senior brother looked at today's posture, this Wu Liuqi already felt that his alliance leader throne was in his hands. The people in those fires are the owners of the eighteen villages in Meiling. ”
Zhou Chang was a little strange: "Senior sister, didn't you say that there are only a few of you in the eighteen villages, why didn't anyone come to greet you?"
Ye Qing'er deliberately hoarse and said loudly: "Hmph, Wu Liuqi must have done a lot of tricks in secret, and now they all think that we will definitely be killed, naturally no one is bored looking for it, a bunch of dogs look down on people's things!"
About half an hour later, it should have been the second watch, Xie Zhiliang, Bu Yinglong, Bu Yingfeng, and Huang Hairu came in one after another, and they also did not greet each other.
After another quarter of an hour, a rough voice shook the audience: "Everyone, all the village owners: I was busy preparing wine and food for everyone, and I didn't come out to welcome the guests, Wu is here to apologize to the big guys!"
"Thank you Lord Wu Zhai for your kind invitation!"
"Thank you Wu Daxia!"
The scene was immediately applauded, only Zhou Chang frowned: This should be today's protagonist Wu Liuqi, and his internal strength cultivation is really good.
Looking for the sound, Zhou Chang really saw a person in the ring: this person was in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, medium height, and a typical southern figure. The head is wrapped in a headscarf and can still be seen to be bald, wearing a cardigan vest on the upper body, a red belt around the waist, and blue trousers on the lower body, which are tightly tied at the cuffs. This short dress also looks short and capable,
"Wu Liuqi is actually dressed as a monk?" Zhou Chang asked Ye Qing'er beside him in a whisper.
Ye Qing'er lowered her voice and said: "He came out of Phoenix Temple, and it is said that he came to Quanzhou Shaolin Temple to live for a while, so he has always been bald in the rivers and lakes. is dressed as a monk, but he does not do less than eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, kill people and set fires. ”
Wu Liuqi hugged his fists and made a circle: "Wu invited everyone to come over, mainly because there is a big matter to discuss." Now please take your seats, and we will talk while eating. ”
A gloomy voice in the darkness suddenly said: "As the saying goes: there is no good feast, there will be no good feast." Although this is not Hongmen, who knows if there is ** medicine in the wine and food, I want everyone to lose their lives in vain. It's better to make it clear first if there is anything, so as not to be unhappy with the next drink. ”
More than 30 people behind the ring shouted angrily at the same time: "Who are you? What are you, hiding in the dark to slander our village master?"
