Ti Wang said: "My master's original name was Yang Qingshou, a native of Yuzhou. In the third year of Yongxi's reign, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition and sent troops to Yanyun and Sixteen Prefectures in three groups. Yuzhou was one of them. At that time, I was the master of martial arts in my family. He was well-known in the local area. Many people admired my father, but I, young and vigorous, did not want to be under my father's wings. So I took the initiative to join General Tian Zhongjintian, who was the commander of the central route at that time. In the early days of the war, the Song army won consecutive battles, and I thought I would be able to shine. Unexpectedly, the Liao army, under the leadership of Queen Mother Xiao, turned defeat into victory. In the end, the Liao army took back Weizhou, and my family was also implicated because of me. Later, another group of people appeared and broke into my home. My father fought with them. In the end, he was outnumbered and died at home. My pregnant wife was taken away by the servants and disappeared." Ti Wang cried with tears in his eyes. Recalling what happened back then.
After listening to Ti Wang's narration, Li Yu understood the reason and said: "It turns out that Master, you are from Yuzhou. In the third year of Yongxi's reign, that is, twenty years ago, during Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition of Yongxi, you and The master's wife is separated." Li Yu said confidently: "Oh! Then I understand, master, what you want me to do is to help you find the master's wife."
Ti Wang said: "Yes. I'm sorry for her. If you can find her, please take me to apologize to her and our unborn child."
Li Yu asked: "Master, aren't you going to see her?"
Tiwang pondered for a moment and said, "I am now poisoned and cannot travel long distances."
Li Yu said: "That's not easy. If I find the master's wife, I will bring her to see you."
Ti Wang said: "I wonder if she is willing to see me? Besides." Moreover, these two words were said in a very low voice, and Li Yu did not hear them clearly.
Li Yu comforted him: "Master, I believe my wife must be thinking about you too."
Ti Wang said: "Maybe. However, this is one of them. There is another thing I want to leave to you."
Li Yu said: "Is there anything else?"
Ti Wang said: "After the Song army was defeated, I was chased by the Liao army. I was wounded and escaped, but was rescued by my master, Master Lingxin. The master said that I was destined to be a Buddhist, so he accepted me as his third disciple. My name is forgetfulness. I hope I can forget the wrong things I have done and start over."
Li Yu said: "It turns out that this is how Master's name came from."
Ti Wang said: "After I escaped into Buddhism, I devoted myself to practicing Buddhism in Xuankong Temple. Until New Year's Eve two years ago." Ti Wang's eyes showed a solemn look, "After everyone had eaten, I went to invite Master, hosted the New Year's Eve party in the temple. At that time, I saw two uninvited guests coming to the temple and sneaking into my master's room. I immediately followed and saw the two people fighting with my master in the room. I was afraid The master was defeated by the two of them, so he immediately went to help. But during the fight, I discovered that I had been poisoned, and the master seemed to be going crazy, attacking everywhere without distinguishing between the enemy and myself, and even injured me. In the end, the two of them Although they worked together to injure my master, my master also seriously injured one of them. After they escaped with injuries, people in the temple heard the news and came to see me being seriously injured by my master, who was lying on the ground. , when there was no movement, everyone said that I had injured the master and attacked me. I had no choice but to escape, and later I heard about the death of my master." Ti Wang unconsciously stamped his chest.
"So that's it. No wonder, it was rumored that you killed Master Lingxin." Li Yu said.
Ti Wang calmed down his emotions and excitedly confessed to Li Yu: "Master has given me life-saving grace and also has the kindness to teach me. How could I possibly kill Master! Disciple, this is what I want to give to you." Another thing, you must find out the reason for the death of my master, the spiritual master!"
Li Yu felt very complicated after hearing this, with hesitation and silence on his face.
Seeing Li Yu's hesitation, Ti Wang said almost in a pleading voice: "Disciple, aren't you willing to help master?"
Li Yu said slowly: "Master, it's not that the disciple is unwilling. It's just that this matter has been going on for so long. Do you really believe that the disciple can find the murderer?" Li Yu was a little unconfident, and he did not dare to take on this matter. thing.
Tiwang gave a bitter smile and said, "Why don't you know it, Master? This matter is indeed a bit difficult for you, but now that Master is in a situation where I am no longer able to find the murderer, it doesn't matter whether I clear my name or not. However, if I cannot find out the murderer for Master Ling Xin, how can I be worthy of Master’s life-saving grace? Well, karma has its own reincarnation. Disciple, as a master, I don’t expect you to be able to do it. You should just do your best. Why." Ti Wang seemed to have agreed with the fate. Ti forgot to gather his energy, stood up and flew out of the room, saying: "Disciple, since you worship me as your master, the master should also teach you some skills. Now I will teach you Arhat Fist."
This Ti Wang's movement flew to the house elegantly, and his voice was also rich and powerful, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears. But when Li Yu heard the three words "Arhat Fist", he felt a little lost and thought to himself: Arhat Fist, isn't it? Is it the basic boxing technique of Buddhism? Any young Buddhist monk should be able to do it, why would he create such a big formation? Then, he slowly walked out of the room and saw Ti Wang standing upright in the courtyard. Ti Wang stretched out his fist and said loudly: "Disciple, you are too leisurely! Watch out, Arhat Fist, the first move, subdue the dragon and save the world!"
Subdue the dragon and save the world? Isn’t the first form of Arhat Boxing a boy’s worship to Buddha? Li Yu murmured in his heart. I saw Ti Wang clenching his fists, his legs squatting slightly, his left hand standing on the left earlobe, and his right hand hanging on his chest, like a golden Arhat. Suddenly, both fists moved together, fiercely and powerfully, and after punching forward several times, He also changed his posture to capture, and captured the former with great force, showing the power of subduing the evil dragon.
After Ti Wang performed this move of "Subduing the Dragon and Saving the World", he breathed out briefly, then immediately took up his posture again, and said in his mouth: "Arhat Fist, second move! Feed the Yin and subdue the tiger!" Open his hands and tactfully move his wrists. Send it forward, just like handing someone another bowl, while walking sideways with your legs in a circuitous way, as if you are feeding a tiger and at the same time guarding against the tiger. After this posture, face down with your hands, wave your palms, and lift your knees forward, just like your knees. Hold the tiger's chin, and use your hands to smooth the tiger's hair. This move is mainly about defense, and your hands can disrupt the opponent's moves.
After this move was completed, Tiwang said again: "The third form of Luohan Fist, watch the door to avoid evil." Stand one palm in front of the chest, put the other palm horizontally inward, stand both feet on the spot, and turn the forward palm into a fist. , make a knocking posture, slowly at first and then quickly. After four or five postures, step forward vigorously, bump the door with your shoulder, lower the top of your elbow slowly, and hold the other hand up, as if holding the door. After finishing these three moves, he exhaled from the Tiwangshou posture and said, "Disciple, as my teacher, I will teach you the first three moves today." Then he turned around and looked at Li Yu, who looked shocked and confused. Wang said: "Disciple, what's your expression?"
Li Yu asked in disbelief: "Master, this is Arhat Fist? Why is it different from what I have seen before?"
Ti Wang smiled and said: "The Arhat Fist practiced in Zhongyuan is the basic boxing method, and it is the basic move of sixty-one movements. The Arhat Fist of Xuankong Temple is the eighteen moves corresponding to the eighteen Arhats. Although the names are all Arhat Fist, But the moves are completely different.”
Li Yu immediately flew to Ti Wang's side, gently slapped Ti Wang on the back, and said, "Hey, Master. I thought you were going to teach me basic boxing techniques!"
Ti Wang said: "The basic skills of martial arts all over the world are actually the same, such as punching, dodging, hooking, throwing, lifting, etc. The footwork of most martial arts practitioners also consists of five steps: bow step, horse step, false step, rest step, and stoop step. Start. I have seen you take action, and your basic skills are quite solid. With your current skills, it is no longer suitable to teach you from the basics."
Li Yu nodded repeatedly and said impatiently: "Yes, yes! Master, then you can teach me this Arhat Fist!"
Ti Wang said: "Okay!" Ti Wang then explained each move to Li Yu carefully. Li Yu practiced while listening, not paying attention to the passage of time. When Li Yu finished these three moves When he fully mastered it, nearly an hour had passed. Seeing that Li Yu had already mastered the first three moves to a great extent, Ti Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's getting late, hurry up." Rest. Tomorrow, you have to get up early to fetch water. I will be back at noon."
When Li Yu heard about fetching water, he was a little scared, but he couldn't escape even if he thought about it. Then he asked: "Master, where are you going during the day?"
Ti Wang realized that he had not told Li Yu about his current affairs, so he explained: "As a teacher, I have to work in Xinyang City every day."
Li Yu asked: "Master, what do you do?"
Ti Wang said: "As a teacher, I worked as a handyman in the county government, sweeping the floor, boiling water, etc. It's a coincidence that if I hadn't been working as a handyman in the county government, I wouldn't have been able to save you at the county government at that time. "
"That's it." Li Yu suddenly realized. Li Yu was a little puzzled and said, "Master, why do you still work?"
Ti Wang said angrily: "Are you waiting to starve to death if you don't work? Do you think all the utensils in the house were blown by the strong wind?" Ti Wang pointed to the house.
Li Yu stuck out his tongue and smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, okay. It's time to rest. It's almost time now." At Ti Wang's urging, Li Yu walked into the room. He muttered, "Then I have to work to support myself."
Ti Wang said: "Of course, if you are willing to pay some room fees to honor me as a teacher, I will be happy to be a teacher."
Li Yu said: "Master, my family is rich. How about I go home and give you the money? How about you stop working in the county government and concentrate on teaching me martial arts?"
Tiwang refused and said: "No. As a teacher, I still prefer to be self-reliant. My master, Master Lingxin, often teaches us that if we want to be born in the world, we must first enter the world. It was not until the past two years that I gradually understood the meaning of this."
Li Yu nodded and spread out a bed on the ground to rest.
