"Wayne Ming?"
At the same time, Song Xing and Hu Tianchou changed into coarse cloth clothes, mixed in with a caravan going to Guangzhou for business, and rushed towards Guangzhou Mansion.
The two of them covered most of their faces with straw hats and sat behind a cargo carriage. They looked around carefully and talked with their heads down.
The uneven country roads, carriages driving on them, bumped up and down like a sailboat in the wind and rain.
"The number one expert in the Duyu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He has led people to chase me many times over the years. Fang Hu was also injured in his hands before."
Hu Tianchun thought of Wayne Ming's skills and said with lingering fear: "If Fang Hu hadn't seen the opportunity before and confronted him head-on, I wouldn't have waited to go to your master to ask for help. Unlike other people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who followed orders, this People are specifically targeting me, as if they know my identity."
Song Xing looked sideways, if Hu Tianchou's identity was known to the Qing court, it would definitely lead to death.
Hu Tian steadied himself to prevent himself from being knocked off the carriage, and then continued: "I have investigated this person before, and he is suspected to be a descendant of Wei Zhijun."
Seeing that Song Xing didn't know who Wei Zhijun was, Hu Tianchou patiently explained.
"Wei Zhijun is the younger brother of Wei Changhui. On the eve of the fall of Taiping, Wei Zhijun was captured and surrendered to the Hunan Army. Later, he defected and was able to enjoy his old age in peace."
"Wayne Ming should be a descendant of Wei Zhijun. Over the years, he has defected to the Qing court and was willing to be a lackey of the Qing court. Countless colleagues and lofty ideals died at his hands."
"This person practices an evil kung fu. He once killed two great boxers with his bare hands. His kung fu is very strange. You must be careful when you encounter him."
Hu Tianzhu was afraid that Song Xing was young, arrogant and underestimated his opponent, so he told him to be careful of Wayne Ming.
Song Xing nodded to express his understanding. The fight with Nasu Tu made him understand that he should not underestimate the world's masters.
However, he possesses the Ape Strike Technique and the Twelve Postures of Yijin, and his strength is stronger than what Hu Tianchuu saw, so there is no need to tell him.
"I suspect that Wayne Ming must have discovered my hidden identity. Wei Zhijun was in a high-level position in Taiping back then and knew many secrets of the Taiping Army."
Hu Tianjue said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Wayne Ming has always wanted to capture me alive, maybe just for the Taiping treasure in my hand."
"Didn't you say that only you know about this?" Song Xing was puzzled.
Hu Tianchou was also a little confused: "When the army was defeated, there was chaos. Maybe someone knew a few words, but it is unknown."
"I was betrayed by a traitor this time. I estimate that Wayne Ming will intercept me in Guangzhou to prevent me from going to sea."
Seeing that no one was paying attention around him, Hu Tianchou took out an old-looking book from the middle of his arms and handed it to Song Xing.
"What, a romance novel?"
Song Xing subconsciously thought that Hu Tianchun knew from Chu Luozhao that Chu Luozhao liked to read legendary novels, so he gave him an ancient book.
I took it and looked at it. On the cover were the words "Hu Family Sword Manual".
Song Xing was stunned.
"The Hu Family Sword Manual?"
When he saw that it was the ancestral sword manual of Hu Tianchun's family, Song Xing immediately wanted to return the sword manual to Hu Tianchun.
In this era, although there are exchanges between boxers, the practice secrets of various sects are often secrets that are not passed down. They will not be passed down to direct descendants or direct disciples.
There are even sect brothers who often turn against each other because of their inheritance.
Just like Chu Luozhao, he taught boxing skills to the Boxers, but the core and essence of Plum Blossom Boxing was only taught to Song Xing.
It is impossible for someone whose character and talent are not recognized by an old boxer to learn the core secret skills. If you just look at the stance and don't know the secrets, you won't be able to practice anything at all.
The cherishment of broomsticks and the single-line transmission of broomsticks, coupled with the turmoil of war, resulted in many martial arts training methods disappearing in the long river of history.
This also led to many Chuanwu, who gradually withdrew from the stage after being baptized by hot weapons.
In the era of Song Xing, it was completely reduced to a performance of fancy fists and embroidered legs, which is not unrelated to this.
Song Xing and Hu Tianchou had only known each other for a few days. When they saw this Hu family sword manual, they naturally would not accept it easily without knowing why.
"Xiao Song, listen to me."
Seeing Song Xing's intention to evade, Hu Tianchou put his hand on the sword manual, looked at Song Xing and said seriously: "I have always had leg problems. Although I have practiced martial arts for a few days, I have never achieved anything famous. It’s just about keeping fit.”
"Later on, he devoted himself to reviving the Chinese cause. Personal bravery was of limited use in the grandeur of the situation, so his skills were increasingly neglected."
He lowered his head and looked at his sword manual, with nostalgia flashing in his eyes, Hu Tianjiu continued: "The Hu family passed down the family tradition by martial arts, but when it comes to my generation, they have done nothing, which is really against the ancestral precepts. What's more, if we can go to Nanyang this time, I still don’t know when and what month I will be able to return to my homeland.”
"I will give you the sword manual. At least the Hu family's kung fu will still be passed down by someone and will remain in China. This can be regarded as a thought left in my heart."
Hu Tianchun saw clearly that in the era of the rise of hot weapons, the decline of martial arts would eventually become a reality.
Rather than taking the sword manual overseas, it would be better to pass it on to my old friend, a disciple.
According to Chu Luozhao, Song Xing can be regarded as a martial arts idiot, otherwise he would not be able to do what ordinary people cannot in a short period of time.
If the Hu family's skills are put into his hands, they will never be buried.
Seeing that there was still hesitation on Song Xing's face, Hu Tianchun said with a smile: "You may not be impressed by Uncle Hu's kung fu, but that's my own problem. The Hu family's kung fu is no weaker than what your master taught you. "
There was a look of surprise in Song Xing's eyes. You must know that Chu Luozhao taught him Plum Blossom Boxing and Red Boxing. Although they are not as famous as the Tai Chi Bagua Xingyi passed down by later generations, both boxing techniques are ancient boxing styles that have been passed down for a long time.
There are even records of Plum Blossom Boxing. It has been spread in writing since the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, and has been passed down for more than a hundred generations.
"Five Protectors Program" records: "In the 25th year of Zhou Zhao, the ancient Buddha was born, after Boyang and before Zhongni."
The ancient Buddha is Dongfang Li, the founder of Plum Blossom Boxing. He lived in Xuanjin Hall, Qingjing Palace, Chengxiao County, Tianpan, Yunnan, the Western Region, that is, in the Kunlun Mountains. He created two kinds of boxing: one is Bagua and the other is Plum Blossom.
In the 24th year of the Qin Dynasty, Plum Blossom Boxing was officially established and passed down to future generations. After many changes, it was divided into four major groups and four small groups.
During the reign of Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, Wang Chongyang created the Quanzhen Sect based on Plum Blossom Boxing, and took Ma Yu, Tan Chuduan, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer as his disciples in Kunlun Mountain, and they were called the "Northern Seven Trues". .
Among them, only Qiu Chuji truly passed down Plum Blossom Quan. He fully integrated Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism into Plum Blossom Quan, and changed Wang Chongyang's original intention of "not entering an official career, but letting oneself live in the grassland." "Ancestor.
The branch inherited by Chu Luozhao is the Plum Blossom Boxing of Longmen School.
What Hu Tianshui said in his family's sword skills was no weaker than Plum Blossom Boxing. Song Xing couldn't help but become curious and listened attentively to what Hu Tianshui said.
