The story I want to tell next has to start with what martial arts are, what is virtue, the ideal of a person who practices martial arts is nothing more than to strengthen his body and protect his family and defend the country, or to fight the sword The end of the world comes and goes like the wind, and I am just an ordinary person of all living beings, and I am the same. "When I was a child, this was still the territory of King Liang, King Liang was called a son who loved the people like a son, he was different from ordinary warlords, he no longer recruited troops from the time he commanded thousands of miles of cities around here, except for the personnel needed to maintain the territory, even most of the armor soldiers gave them land, which is regarded as unloading and returning to the field. Under the rule of King Liang, it can be said that the common people rarely live and work in peace and contentment, and it is a very rare pure land in this era of war and chaos in this environment. My family is not a big family, but barely a family is also a solid family, and there happened to be an old guard captain of King Liang's guards who returned to his hometown, of course, I went to learn from the teacher, hoping to practice a kung fu in the future can also glorify the ancestors. I remember when I went to apprentice, the old guard captain said that his surname was Chen, and he mainly practiced boxing, and he directly played a set of boxing to show me, and then taught me hand in hand and told me that I wanted to go back and practice hard by myself, when can I complete this set of boxing, and then come to him, and after he saw it, he decided whether to accept me as an apprentice. I carefully recalled the details of this set of punches in my mind a few times, and then bowed and withdrew. In the following days, I practiced hard at home every day while doing my heroic dream, at that time it was really hard, from morning to night, I got up and practiced until I was exhausted and fell asleep the next day, and then continued to talk. ”

After speaking, the old man stopped, as if he was a little thirsty, and drank a big sip of wine, we didn't ask questions, nor did he interrupt, just listened to him and said slowly: "I have been practicing for almost a month, and when I am older, I don't remember whether it is twenty-six days or twenty-seven days or twenty-eight days, in short, I think that I have practiced more skillfully, and after my parents saw it, although they didn't understand, they also praised me for practicing and looking good." The next morning, I went to the door to see the old boxer, and when I went, the old boxer was boxing in the courtyard in a short fight, and I felt really like a tiger at that time. I waited next to the old boxer until he finished a full set of punches, and he smiled and told me that he wanted me to show me the results of my month's practice. I listened to the words of the old boxer, immediately got up a shelf, and I felt very skillful to finish the whole set of punches in one go, after the fight, I bowed, stood aside and waited for the old boxer's praise, the old boxer looked at me expressionlessly from the beginning to the end, and still stared at me, I was a little hairy but didn't dare to ask. After a while, but in my eyes, it was like a long time before the old boxer slowly spoke, your bones are flat, at most it is a Chinese asset, this set of boxing is just the most basic method of strengthening the body in the army, and the fast practice should be ten days to have seven or eight points, you practice for a month, the qualification is really not good, but it can be seen that you have worked hard after going back, and you must have practiced some moves at home every day, and the movements are very solid. That's it, I won't accept apprentices anymore when I'm old, and I don't plan that you can carry forward our boxing skills, so you should accept your apprentice to teach you some fitness methods, and then send me to the end of my old age, go back and prepare well, and come to apprentice tomorrow. After hearing this, I naturally happily knelt down and kowtowed, shouting thank you, master, I will definitely study hard, become a teacher as soon as possible, and win glory for our profession. ”

Roulong couldn't help but interject at this time: "Uncle, is the old boxer you are talking about Master Chen Rutie Chen!" The old man looked at us in wonder and said, "Have you ever heard my master's name in the depths of the mountain?" No, no, no, I was resting in the teahouse with my father when I went to the nearby county town to buy goods, and I heard the storyteller say many times, Master Chen Rutie had a pair of iron fists, fists as strong as the wind, like a tiger, someone once assassinated King Liang, and he alone beat six or seven big men on the spot with a pair of fists in three or two strokes. He also said that there was a troublesome trouble under the rule of King Liang, and Master Chen said that he would go back when he went, a single horse, and he rode a horse alone in the early morning before the sun had completely set, and immediately tied a string of bloody heads. Uncle, is it true that Mr. Storyteller said this? The uncle replied, "I don't know any of this, and my master rarely talked to me about his past affairs before his death." But I estimate that the incident of making trouble and assassination is false nine times out of ten, because my master has taught me many times that as a soldier, especially when life is endangered, kung fu is no longer a method to strengthen the body, but should be a killing technique, and if you don't leave your hands, it is irresponsible to yourself and your comrades. So I don't think that's my master's trick, if my master makes a move, he should kill them all and leave at most one or two alive for interrogation, okay, let's get down to business and continue with my own story. ”

The old man glanced at the three of us and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the fourth-level level, and the two of them should be at the third-level level." We nodded again and again, and undoubtedly glanced at the old man in front of us in our hearts, after all, cultivation must be higher than us to be able to see our skills at a glance. "You are practicing martial arts, you have only done some exercises at best, a farmer in the prime of life also has a three-layer level, I have been stepping on the five-story steps for a short time when I am as old as you, of course, the practice of martial arts is all about the wealth of the Dharma couple, you come from a small place without a good master to teach, naturally there is no good practice of the exercises, people who practice martial arts must also eat a lot, and they have to eat a lot of good nutrition, and it is difficult to keep up with the foundation, you are different from the children of the big family, they have been different from you since they were born, and they have used precious medicinal materials for medicinal baths since childhood, and they eat things with extremely high nutritional value, Even if the family martial artist is not the top in strength, at least he knows that the exercises that are most suitable for them are taught from person to person, and these you don't have them, not to mention that they are not as good as the children of the family, your conditions are much worse than when I was a child, and it is not easy to lay a good foundation through diligent study and hard practice. Okay, okay, in the end, I don't talk about these when I'm old, or talk about my own things, I should be nine years old when I went to apprenticeship, too young and not sensible, it can be said that my childhood and most of my teenage years were spent with buckets, stakes, big stones, grinders, my master not only taught me martial arts, but also taught me a lot of principles of life, to learn martial arts is also the way of life, but unfortunately the master left too early, I still have a lot of things not learned, but also the master taught the heart, I didn't learn enough hard to finally listen to the master's persuasion, otherwise it would not end up like this。 ”

Speaking of this, the old man stopped and seemed to think of something, and slowly took a sip of wine before continuing. "I was less than sixteen years old, the master fell ill, it stands to reason that the master practiced martial arts cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth-order bone forging, and he should be able to live for a long time if he is not ancient, but the master told me that he was too heavy in his military career from youth to middle age, and the master has always played the role of an executioner in the army, and the people who have killed themselves have not had an approximate number in their hearts and ushered in the backlash of qi and blood in advance, the master knows that the death period is approaching to me, I didn't expect that a little apprentice I received at the end of the year can still reach the peak of the physical realm, in the end, diligence can make up for it, You are much stronger than your few uncompetitive senior brothers, you have no heirs for a lifetime, and when you are old, you are accepted as an apprentice and raised you as a grandson for so many years, but it is a pity that you have not been able to accompany you for a few more years, otherwise your martial arts level can naturally go to the next level, and people can be much more stable. If you have never practiced martial arts, just learn some principles of life with me, I will recommend you to go to the county government or even the Liang Wangfu to be a small official, but you have not learned the future, but you are learning martial arts, the right place is to protect the family and defend the country, the wrong place is the murderer in the eyes of ordinary people, but now King Liang has not won the heart of the world, and now it is the twilight of life, and it has been many years since I did not recruit soldiers, and I have cut off the road to the army。 I tearfully promised that the master would do it, and the master nodded with satisfaction and said that you will have to go by yourself in the future, okay, step down, let me rest alone. I listened to the master and then exited the room, the next morning I went to the master's room as usual to salute and found that the master had passed away, I buried the master, and the following days I was alone in the courtyard every day to practice martial arts. I plan to concentrate on martial arts, and I won't advance until the health realm is at its strongest, and if I don't advance, I won't go out. But nothing will go according to your plan!"

I saw that the old man didn't seem to want to speak again, so he wanted to change the topic and asked: "Uncle has been in for so long and hasn't asked your name, we are always shouting from the uncle, is it convenient for you to reveal it?" The old man: "It's really my fault, I didn't even tell you my name when I came to my house, let me introduce myself, Zuo Wanghua Xichen County." I saw that the meat dragon even choked on the wine in his mouth, and kept coughing and coughing, and we all looked at the meat dragon, "I said brother, what's wrong with you" The meat dragon said: "Bloody hand Wanghua! The young man made trouble and killed people, and after leaving calmly, the officers and soldiers who came were all killed by him, and then rose up with the axe king, and his cultivation was not the top but his courage was called the first pawn of the axe state later. The old man Wanghua smiled: "Yo little fat man, you know a lot, you can be a storyteller yourself." Meat Dragon smiled embarrassedly and said, "No, I'm more interested in these martial arts stories." "It's pretty much the same as you said, so then you say it or I say it," "Of course you say it." We replied.

"Although I have been practicing martial arts at the master's house, but I have not cut off contact with the family, I have been practicing martial arts alone for less than a year, and the people in the family came to me in a panic, and told me that my parents were arrested by the new city lord, I remembered that the master said not to be angry at will, I calmly said to the subordinates, you say slowly, he said that because the new city lord took office, he asked my family to produce a strong man to fill the army, my family because I went out to practice martial arts, there was no suitable male at all, so I was angry and said that my family refused to obey the orders of King Liang, and decided to severely punish my parents and prison, and the whole family was confiscated to set an example。 I hurriedly went back to the county seat with my subordinates, wanting to inquire about the situation first before making plans. After I returned to the county seat, I found out that it was just the insatiable greed of the new city lord who listened to the villain's slander that my family was well-off and came up with this poisonous plan, and there was no so-called recruitment at all, and all disobedience to Wang Hua was just a trumped-up charge. When I got along and went to visit my parents in prison, I found out that it was too late, and in just one day, my parents had been beaten and died in prison. At this time, I was completely carried away by hatred, and completely forgot the master's deathbed words, which caused such a bloody case that even the storyteller knew. ”
