Eleven episodes of gambling and three consecutive games, the old crazy beggar discusses swordsmanship on a moonlit night
It was said that Chu Jianghan was concentrating on the power of movement, but he still couldn't tell who the master was. In just a moment, there was someone behind him. Chu Jianghan was surprised. When he looked carefully, he saw that this person was holding a hand. A bamboo pole, Chu Jianghan knew in his heart that he was an expert, so he hurriedly leaned down and bowed down, calling him senior.
The old man laughed and helped him up. He opened his mouth and said: "Baby, you are so worthless!" Chu Jianghan felt unhappy when he heard this, and asked: "Why did the senior say this?" The old man laughed again and said: "The sword that people in the martial arts dream of, Are you stupid to give it away? I just saw you take action. Your foundation is not bad, but your swordsmanship is rare in the world. It's easy to clean up these rotten onions and garlic. Why don't you dare? Take action? Could it be that you are afraid of the White Lotus Sect's reputation?"
When Chu Jianghan heard this, he also laughed like him, looked up to the sky and said: "It's just a sword. It has nothing special except for being sharp. Others regard it as a treasure, but I think it is just scrap metal. It’s so ridiculous that a senior martial artist kowtows and kneels down for such a shameful thing!” The old man burst out laughing when he heard this, and jumped up on the spot, scratching his ears and cheeks, slapping his knees with both hands, and exclaiming that it was wonderful. Then he hurriedly said: "Come on, baby, come on, compete with me. It's been twenty years since I met you. Come on, come on, compete with me!"
Chu Jianghan was confused and was about to ask a question. The old man jumped up and down and said: "Baby, what you just did was the Kongtong sect's palm technique. Come on, let me learn Ziyang Taoist's clever tricks. More than twenty I haven’t seen him in years, and he actually trained such a disciple. It’s rare. Come on, come on, come and try three moves with me! Hey... No, no, the swordsmanship you just did was not from the Kongtong sect. Way, come on, come on, baby, you first use the sword technique just now, let me see it!" Chu Jianghan was confused after hearing this, but the old man insisted on competing with him, so he quickly clasped his fists with his hands and bowed He said: "Senior has mastered martial arts and mastered the spirit. Only then did he make no sound and he was already standing behind me. How can this junior be my opponent?"
After hearing this, the old man seemed displeased. He stood up straight and said, "Baby, don't say too much. After I compete with you, I'm going to compete with the mule rider. By the way, there's a master nearby. Just a few days ago, The long roar is really impressive, he is really a great master. Ahem, don’t be nagging me!"
Chu Jianghan didn't have the intention to compete, so he deliberately changed the topic and said: "The person just now is the miracle doctor Judge Chou, and he is my friend. The other person nearby that the senior said must be Brother Zhang. The two of them They are all heroes, senior, let’s challenge them to a competition, let’s just say goodbye!” After saying that, he clasped his fists and bowed, turned around and left.
But the old man coughed a few times, and in a normal tone, he said seriously: "Baby, when you go out to travel around the world, didn't your master tell you who has the best martial arts in the world today?" Chu Jianghan listened. Surprisingly, since I studied martial arts in the mountains and even came down from the mountain, I have met very few masters. But among them, the ones with high martial arts skills should be ranked first among the two masters I saw in Fengchen Valley, followed by my mentor Ziyang Zhenren, from Xiangxi. The eldest of the Four Evils also has great martial arts, but unfortunately he has already died, and the one who took their lives was Xiao Fan Li's brother. Their martial arts are also unfathomable. In addition, Shaolin, Wudang and other masters are probably still there. Far less than these people. However, the two masters in the Valley of Winds had something to say first, and the whereabouts of the two teachers must not be mentioned. I also remembered that in the martial arts world in recent years, Shaolin and Wudang have been regarded as Mount Tai and Beidou.
So he turned around and opened his mouth to reply: "Shaolin Wudang should be the leader in the martial arts world. In addition, the White Lotus Sect has become more and more rampant in recent years, and there must be many masters."
The old man laughed three times and said, "Baby, do you know who I am?" Chu Jianghan didn't know, so he respectfully asked, "Senior, please give me some advice!" The old man volleyed and landed in front of Chu Jianghan. , stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder. Chu Jianghan resisted with his luck. He felt that the old man's hand seemed to have a huge power. How could he resist? He had to let him do it. However, it turned out that the old man just pressed him down. Chu Jianghan actually Sitting on the ground, the old man casually inserted the bamboo pole from his waist into the ground and sat down as well.
After a few more laughs, the old man opened his mouth and said: "It seems that you don't know who I am. Listen carefully. I'm going to tell you that when I was eighteen years old, I met a true master and learned some shocking martial arts. I joined the Beggar Gang at the age of twenty, became famous all over the world at the age of thirty, became the leader of the Beggar Gang at the age of forty, resigned from the gang leader at the age of sixty, traveled around the world, and met with experts from all over the world. How about it? Do you know who I am? ? Haha! Hahaha!"
As he spoke, Chu Jianghan realized that the expert in front of him turned out to be the former leader of the Beggars Clan. However, neither the master nor the brothers mentioned that the current leader of the Beggars Clan was Zhou, who was known as the "Thunder Hand of the Universe" Gang leader, as for the former gang leader, I have never heard anyone mention it. However, this master’s martial arts is so good, and he is the former gang leader of the Beggar Clan. Chu Jianghan naturally has more respect in his words: "This junior has just entered the world. It’s superficial. The senior dragon has its head but not its tail. It’s so prestigious that the juniors are not lucky enough to know it.”
The old man said to himself: "You old Ziyang bastard, you didn't even mention my reputation to your descendants. I'll go up to Kongtong Mountain someday and you'll see me!" He said seriously again: "Listen up, baby. "My surname is Wu, my name is Wu, and people in the world call me 'crazy beggar', but I'm not crazy at all." Chu Jianghan was surprised when he heard this: "No name? Is there anyone else with this name?" He said it and felt rude at the same time. He hurriedly apologized.
The mad beggar laughed and stood up: "You don't have to be polite, baby! Among the younger generation, you are very suitable to my liking." Then he added: "I have been obsessed with martial arts all my life, and I specialize in making friends with martial arts. I resigned from the Beggar Clan. As a gang leader, I have set a rule. Anyone who likes someone or has high enough martial arts skills will compete with him for three rounds. You are lucky, baby. Come on, baby, fists, weapons, and internal strength. External skills, it’s up to you to choose!”
Chu Jianghan saw that although this senior's words were somewhat incoherent, he was still a martial arts senior. He absolutely did not want to take action. He stood up and said, "Senior, you don't even know my junior's name, so what else can you do?" That crazy beggar said. He slapped his forehead with his hand and opened his mouth to shout: "Yes, yes, yes! You're right, I'm right. Being famous in the world is the second most important thing. Come on, come on, tell me, what's your last name?" Who is your name and what is your title?"
Chu Jianghan cupped his fists and bowed and said: "Junior Kongtong Hou is learning from Chu Jianghan, but he has no title yet." The crazy beggar became anxious and jumped up from the spot again and yelled: "What? How can this be true? How can there be no reason? How can there be such a reason? You are like this Your cultivation has long been outstanding among the younger generation, how can you not have a title? Come on, come on, when you and I compete, I will give you a title! Come on, come on, let's compete quickly." Chu Jianghan declined again and again. But the crazy beggar became anxious and cursed: "Idiot, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid". His hand was a big-eared melon seed, and his technique was extremely fast.
Chu Jianghan's face was hot, anger arose in his chest, and fire came from his eyes. He said loudly: "It's a competition. Could it be that I'm afraid of you?" The mad beggar was overjoyed when he heard this. He jumped up and down, and then became stiff again. Face came and said: "Since you are a disciple of the Kongtong Sect, I will see your Kongtong Sect's palm skills in the first game." Chu Jianghan was not polite. He was so angry that he raised his shoulders and pushed out his Dantian with both palms. He shouted: "Look at the blow." The wind roared in the palms at the response, and there were palms in all directions. The shadow of the palms was not everywhere, but the strength of the palms came first. Yes, this move called "Flying Sand and Rocks" is exactly a move in the palm of the 36th Feng Ling.
The crazy beggar screamed, "What a flying sand and flying stones!" But he didn't rush, he raised his left hand to meet him, his feet sank, and he was as motionless as Mount Tai. Then he drew a semicircle with his right arm from the outside of the hand, and raised it to the opposite palm. , unexpectedly got away, and then used more force with his left palm. Chu Jianghan only felt that the opponent's palm force was too overbearing. Before he could react, he was knocked away seven or eight steps away. Only then did Chu Jianghan feel the opponent's skill. Gaoshan He stood upright and immediately clasped his hands into fists, not knowing what to say.
The crazy beggar laughed and said, "Baby, you have mastered the Wind Spirit Palm. It's just that your internal strength is not as good as mine, and that's why you failed. I have nothing to teach you about this palm skill. I have nothing to teach him!" If you improve your internal skills every day, you will naturally not lose!" Chu Jianghan realized that he was unbeatable because his internal skills were too far behind him, so he stopped talking.
After saying that, the mad beggar casually threw the bamboo pole in his hand and said to Chu Jianghan: "Baby, I just saw that you were really good at your sword skills, but it's a pity that I didn't see the way out for a while. Come on, come on, the second game You demonstrate swordsmanship." Chu Jianghan took the bamboo pole, held it in his right hand and opened his stance, saying: "Senior, be careful!" After saying that, he made a few swishes, which was the "Seven Arrows with Nail Head" move in Danyang Sword Technique. The essence of the move is that one sword thrusts out, the waist and arms are exerted at the same time, the wrist is flipped, one sword turns into thousands of swords, the sword energy is everywhere, and the enemy's head can be taken several feet away.
Unexpectedly, the mad beggar jumped up and dodged. Before Chu Jianghan could see clearly where the figure was shaking, there were two loud slaps, and there were big mouths on both cheeks. The mad beggar just stamped his feet on the spot. , yelling: "Idiot, idiot, you are so angry that I am so angry with you!"
Chu Jianghan felt angry in his chest, simply threw away the bamboo stick, looked up and said: "I think my martial arts is not as good as yours, but you don't have to rely on your old age to make fun of me many times because of your superior martial arts skills!".
The mad beggar heard this and shouted loudly: "How come this Danyang Sword Technique is such a unique skill in the world? How can it be in your hands like it's just like playing tricks on the street? If you're not a fool, what are you?" Chu Jianghan was dissatisfied. Since Fengchen Valley Middle School Since acquiring the swordsmanship, I have meditated on the moves in my spare time. I have already mastered the seventy-two moves. Although I don't have any experience, I will never be able to sell them on the street. When I was about to retaliate, I saw the crazy man. The beggar scratched his head with both hands, as if he was meditating hard.
Chu Jianghan didn't dare to disturb him. After a while, the crazy beggar suddenly jumped up on the spot and shouted: "I figured it out." He laughed and then said seriously: "Baby, your sword skills are so good." You have reached a bottleneck in practice, come on, come on, you sit down first and wait for me to speak slowly." Then he pulled Chu Jianghan to sit on the floor, "Baby, baby, listen to me, listen to me: There are various schools and sects in the martial arts world, and there are countless martial arts in a mess. But in my opinion, in the world of martial arts, apart from the leader of the White Lotus Sect, this is the only one who can be called a master. Do you know who these four people are?"
Chu Jianghan was crazy when he saw him, but now he was extremely serious. He opened his mouth and asked: "Who are these four people?"
The mad beggar looked up at the night sky and exhaled: "They are the abbot of the Shaolin sect, who specializes in the Yi Jin Jing, Yiqing Taoist who specializes in the Danyang Sword Technique, the leader of the Haisha Gang, who specializes in Hansha Palm, and My old man’s thunderbolt!”
"Could it be that Taoist Yiqing was the one who taught me swordsmanship in Fengchen Valley?" Chu Jianghan was shocked.
The crazy beggar then said: "Originally only the abbot of Shaolin Temple could study the Yi Jin Jing, but there were only a few masters in the past. Later, anyone with qualifications could study it. Hey, today, there are only three masters in the world. One of them is very close to me, and I don’t know the other two very well. As for Hansha Zhang, after the Haisha Gang became the new gang leader, it was invincible for a while. Later, the Haisha Gang colluded with Japanese pirates, and it was rumored that it was I don't think it's possible that these spiritual slaughterers were wiped out. They were probably destroyed by some trick and trick by the royal guards. In short, the Hansha Palm has been extinct for many years. As for my thunder hand, it's natural. He passed it on to four disciples of the Beggar Clan. Hehe, although this Qing Taoist is a Taoist priest, he does not belong to any sect or sect, and he usually has his eyes on the top. If you can get his true teaching, that is really a blessing!"
After saying this, the crazy beggar's face sank, and he slapped Chu Jianghan on the head again, neither lightly nor hard, and cursed: "You idiot, teaching you such exquisite swordsmanship is like playing with a monkey. The old Taoist will be furious if he finds out!" After saying that, he laughed again. After hearing this, Chu Jianghan felt ashamed. He had really embarrassed the teacher. The crazy beggar said: "Baby, you are very suitable to my old man's taste. Come on, come on, show me that set of sword skills. Let me see. The old beggar is in a very good mood today. He is in a very good mood. By the way, I’ll give you some pointers!”
Chu Jianghan was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the bamboo pole and used the seventy-two Danyang Sword Techniques. The mad beggar just looked at it in deep thought, scratching his ears and cheeks.
After only practicing the eighteenth move, the crazy beggar suddenly stopped and said: "Baby, do this sword technique from the last move to the first move backwards!" Chu Jianghan was confused, but he started practicing as instructed. , the first few moves just felt awkward and abnormal, but in the middle ones, I just felt the warmth in my Dantian, my arms were strong, and my hands felt lighter and lighter. I only practiced the last few moves, and my heart suddenly became brighter. Before I finished practicing, I would have lost it long ago. He took out his bamboo stick and kowtowed to the ground.
The mad beggar helped him up with one hand, and said with a laugh: "This swordsmanship and martial arts are similar to human life. When you look forward, you will not understand, but when you look back, everything will be clear, everything will be clear!"
If Chu Jianghan had some realization, he was meditating on it. The mad beggar burst out laughing after saying that, and then said: "Although these seventy-two sword techniques are superb, you only understand the sword moves, not the sword's intention. However, all superb sword techniques originate from the spirit and stop the sword. Now, You have gained another level of understanding, so I don’t need to say more!" Chu Jianghan understood deeply and thought deeply.
The old beggar sighed and murmured: "Baby, you practice this set of sword skills again and again in the morning and evening. It won't take long before your internal skills will be greatly improved. I'm afraid no one in the world will be the best after today." You’re a match!”
Chu Jianghan was overjoyed when he heard this, and just as he was about to thank him again, the crazy beggar opened his mouth again and said: "Don't be complacent, baby. You and I still have one round that we haven't competed with yet. It just so happens that there is a master not far from here. You and I should just go and have a look." By the way, let's see how strong your feet are!" After saying that, he just waved his right hand lightly, already holding the bamboo stick in his hand, jumped up and headed east. Chu Jianghan was not willing to lag behind. He jumped up and used Xumi Sanyin's movement technique to follow behind.
If you want to know where these two people went, let’s look at the breakdown next time.
