The day before the spring rain dissipated, the young men in Huchao Pavilion dragged their tired bodies and went to Lingzilou to learn boxing. After practicing hard for several days, Yun Zhong discovered the beauty of this internal boxing, and also walked Qi, but the energy contained in the fists of this sect is mostly dependent on the muscles and bones, which is very different from the ordinary practice methods. The most important thing is to temper the muscles, bones, skin and flesh. It is a strange method that is similar to a practice method, but not a practice method, but it is quite Suitable for Yunzhong practice.
The meridians were completely destroyed, and Qiuhu could only repair more than 30% of it. It is said that the ordinary method of moving Qi is no longer advisable, but this Ling Teng Qi, which was created by combining the strengths of hundreds of schools, was actually very beneficial when the young man practiced it, and it has further improved. The faster the situation, the qi in the Neijia boxing has gone from the barren Dantian, from the bones to the tendons, and then from the blood into the skin. In just a few days of beating bamboo, some calluses have formed on the tips of the fists, which are as hard as pig iron. , now it takes much less effort to hit the bamboo forest than at the beginning.
Ling Tengqi had already stood waiting in the sea of bamboo. When he saw the young man coming here, he didn't move much. He just nodded slightly and asked Yunzhong to punch twice to see. The latter had a clear mind and punched to interrupt the two fists in front of him. The old bamboo is as thick as a fist, and it doesn't take much effort.
"It's interesting," the old man grinned, but when he saw the young man's narrow-minded expression, he quickly calmed down and coughed twice, "But compared to my disciple, your kid's skills are not as good as those of a child under ten years old. , my disciple, when he was still young, could use his fists to crack stone monuments and break two bamboo trees, what's there to show off?"
However, Yun Zhong was not annoyed at all. Anyone could see that the old man had a tough talk. His expression of joy just now was clearly difficult to suppress. He cupped his fists and saluted, and said flatteringly, "That's natural. You taught me well." , even if it is a mortal body made of clay, it can dissipate the decayed energy inside, and then enter the hall, where you can see the heaven and earth."
All the merchants and residents who live dozens of miles around Lingzi Building know the temperament of the old shopkeeper. He is most fond of flattery and flattery. No matter how clumsy his methods and words are, the old man will still accept them. Many residents and merchants are like this. This took a lot of advantage, but Ling Tengqi didn't care. As soon as the young man said these words, the old man's face froze slightly, and then he couldn't help but smile, "I don't want to flatter you when you have nothing to do. If Mr. Yun has something to say, just say it straight away. I've never been used to flattering you. .”
Even so, the old man was quite unkind. He turned his body sideways and pointed his right ear at the young man in front of him. The meaning was self-evident.
Yun Zhong took a deep breath. After all, he still had the patience to praise his tea time. Only then could he stop talking. Looking at the old man, he had almost raised his chin to his forehead. You didn't need to think about it carefully. It was extremely useful, and the old man's face was full of smiles, which made the young man frown for a while.
After more than sixty years of combined fist fighting, the old man also taught Yun Zhong a palm technique. It was not very good, but he had grown up in the period when the fists and palms were in harmony. After being completely inseparable, the old man walked to the wicker chair and sat down on his own. He looked at the young man who was still out of breath and laughed and cursed twice, "With your tough-tongued character, you have never been willing to say soft words, let alone flatter me." , I guess you, too, have something to ask for, so you might as well say it bluntly, why bother trying to embarrass yourself."
"I was subjected to an internal martial arts trick for no reason, so I should have said something nice. At least it would make the seniors happy, and it would be a good thing." Yun Zhong, however, put away his wilting expression and turned to speak seriously.
It is said that the master has no friendship with the old man in front of me, not to mention the internal martial arts taught by the old man. He traveled all over the country to learn the martial arts from his masters, picked up the advantages of hundreds of families, and almost broke into the five realms with this, which can be regarded as a lifelong inheritance. , but he gave it to himself so easily. Even if Yun Zhong is not good at pleasing people, he still knows that this gift from the sky is not as important as a mountain.
The old man was startled, but he had never thought that the young man would speak so seriously. He originally thought it was just a request, but now that he heard these words, his heart moved slightly.
During the journey of spiritual practice, people are the least likely to know how to repay their kindness. Even if they kowtow respectfully and worship the master, they may not be sincere and they are flattering all day long. They are just trying to learn more and gain some benefits. In the future, if one becomes more and more powerful, there will always be many things like killing one's master and seizing destiny in the world. However, people in the world have never had a memory, let alone the various hidden things that happened along the way of cultivation. Two meritorious deeds and two good deeds are enough to be recorded in the annals of secular books and history, and maybe two golden statues will be erected to chant his virtues.
The young man had always been unwilling to say a few nice words, and had a rather dull temper except for making jokes and bickering to hurt others. Now that he suddenly said a few nice words, the old man actually felt much more comfortable than the flattery he had heard before.
"If you want anything, please tell me, Mr. Yun. I can be considered half of your master. Although my ability is low now, how can I just sit back and do nothing." Ling Tengqi pouted and asked the young man to sit down and talk, then he picked up the tea soup and blew it away. There are floating leaves on the top, with a plain opening.
Yun Zhong did not refuse, sat down peacefully, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
"Senior, do you know about the Pang family in the capital?"
"Are you asking the Emperor Yizhang about the Pang family that once occupied the position of several first-class military attachés?" Ling Tengqi blurted out subconsciously, then frowned and looked up at the young man, "The Pang family is said to have no branches. At that time, Qice Mansion That group of vicious literati, relying on their own self-respect and overstepping the imperial power, wiped out the entire Pang family. Even the partial lineage of the Pang family was banished to a bitter cold place outside the Shiwan Mountains in the far west. I'm afraid no one will be able to reappear in this world. Ordinarily, you shouldn't know about this, so why do you ask?"
"A senior expert who is familiar with the master came to the door and asked me to investigate the old affairs of the Pang family. It is probably that the waiter in the tavern is a descendant of the Pang family. However, I cannot go directly to the door. I must first talk to him. You ask before making a decision." Yun Zhong saw the old man frowning, but even though he knew that there was something fishy about this matter, he was not in a hurry, but gave Ling Tengqi a cup of tea, and then spoke slowly .
"I have been guarding the gate of Nangongshan for a long time, and most of all I want to pass on my skills to Miss Wen. It is really hard to refuse such a great gift now that I have come to entrust you with it. I should repay some favors for Nangongshan. Anyway, I am free. I’m also unemployed, so why not find something to do so I can’t delay boxing.”
The young man told the truth, and of course the old man could hear what it meant. He touched his nose and was in a dilemma for a moment.
When the Pang family lost power, almost the entire imperial city of Huixi, no one could have imagined that the Pang family, which had dominated the military attachés in the court for many years, would have fallen into disarray in just over a month, with hundreds of their heads showing off to the public, and the remaining Thousands of servants, maids, servants, and even close friends were all sent away to Shiwan Mountain. After many years, there was no news. It was feared that the worst was approaching. It happened to be that Emperor Quan was ill, and no one knew who was behind the order to confiscate the house. It was announced that within one month, there would be no Pang surname in the capital.
Even Ling Tengqi, who was once the personal bodyguard of the sage, had never heard of the slightest news, and even his disciples, who had only just left the village at that time, knew very little about the matter.
People in the capital know that they should not ask too much about anything that is deeply hidden. They have to pretend that they have never known it and it is none of their business. Besides, whether the Pang family exists or not, it is really not a big deal for ordinary people. Naturally, over the years, Even though no one mentioned it, only the old man was occasionally sane and mentioned it a word or two to his descendants, but he was also very suspicious.
There is no wind in the cave, and there is no sound of falling rocks. You can roughly know its depth without stepping into it yourself.
"Actually, I just told you that there is something fishy about this matter. But if you want to investigate clearly on your own, it will be as difficult as entering the fifth realm before I die." Ling Tengqi collected his thoughts and frowned. Wei Ting said, "This matter back then was probably planned by the Qi Ce Mansion. The most powerful person among the civil servants in Yizhang was not one person, but the entire Qi Ce Mansion. Among them, there were those who were proficient in literary, Taoist and military strategies, and some who were very familiar with it. The master of Qimen Dunjia is the one who relieves the Lord's worries, and the head of the Qice Mansion is Prime Minister Yi Zhang. He is the leader of one person and more than tens of thousands of people. I think it's doubtful that the Qice Mansion will investigate the past events. "
When Yun Zhong heard this, he remained silent for a long time and pondered for a long time.
The name Qice Mansion was enough to shock Yi Zhang. During the time of strife and war in the world, a total of forty-nine people were selected regardless of their origins. They knew the celestial phenomena and set up formations, setting up ambushes to break the situation. Yi Zhang was able to stabilize his feet in the troubled times. , and there were few defeats. In addition to the heavy armor worn by the soldiers, there were also clever strategies from the Qi Ce Mansion that turned the battle to Yi Zhang's side.
With such a big background, even if the Jieboyu Gang forces come to investigate the matter thoroughly, I am afraid that they will get angry in the end.
"Boy, why do you have to take the advantage?" Ling Tengqi shook off the spring dew all over his body. The coldness on his neck made him tremble, and then he said with a slight smile, "Back when I was still in the palace, I heard an interesting story. It was said that there was once a treasury guard who robbed himself. He often stole some money and valuables to supplement his household expenses. The courtier came up with a sinister idea and smeared some dry salt powder on the copper coins. On the second day, we will catch some ants and order some people who are guarding the treasury to dip their hands in clean water. The ants like salty water, and if they gather on whose hands, we will naturally be able to find out clearly, and we will almost never make a mistake."
"Senior, are you talking about luring the snake out of its hole and making a move later?" Yun Zhong raised his eyebrows.
"I'm saying there's no need to worry about that. Since you guys know that there's Pang family heritage in the tavern, others don't know about it. It's no better to spend more time just looking at the wind and grass. It's not better than you using such a boring mind. Since it is difficult to trace Qice Mansion, why not wait for the person behind the scenes to take action, cut off the roots, and then catch him again?"
"The time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. You kid can't even occupy much of it. At least you can occupy the same place in the dark and hide deeper."
The old man winked and looked very cunning.
