Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six
The next day, at dawn, Yin Fu got up and went to Taigu.Taigu is in the southeast of Taiyuan Prefecture and is a famous place where merchants gather.A few days later in the morning, Yin Fu came to Taigu County, but he saw a lot of traffic and crowds, which was extremely lively.Yin Fu asked a fortune-teller: "Where does Mr. Che Yizhai, the master of Xingyimen, live?" The fortune-teller looked him up and down, and replied, "In Ji'an Hall, Ji'an Lane."
Yin Fu went through the endless stream of people, inquiring all the way, and came to Ji'an Lane, where he saw an antique courtyard with two stone lions standing in front of the gate, baring their teeth, and two copper knockers hanging on the black lacquered gate, which were also in the shape of lions. There are three small golden characters of "Ji'an Church" written on it.
Yin Fu came to the door and knocked lightly, and after a while, a boy who looked like a waiter came out.
"Is Mr. Che at home?" Yin Fu asked.
"Going out." The boy replied.
"When are you coming back?"
"I can't tell, Mr. has a weird temper, and I don't know when he will come back." The boy replied lightly, and then closed the door.
Yin Fu also wanted to ask if Guo Yunshen had arrived, when Che Yizhai and Guo Yunshen would compete, but when he saw that the boy had closed the door, he didn't ask any more questions and withdrew.
At this time, a blind beggar stumbled over, rolled the whites of his eyes when he saw Yin Fu, and came to the gate of Ji'an Hall.
"Tuk tuk..." The blind beggar knocked on the door with a bamboo pole.
The door opened, and it was still the boy.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that your husband is not at home?" The boy said impatiently with a sullen expression.
"He just saw Guo Yunshen who was invincible all over the world with half-step punches. Don't you want to see me, a beggar?" the blind beggar said angrily, his face was exposed with blue veins and his face was flushed.
The boy closed the door coldly.
The blind beggar picked up the bamboo pole and knocked on the black lacquered gate a few times, suddenly several small black holes appeared, from which the courtyard could be seen.
The blind beggar grinned grimly and left.
The door opened, and the young man chased out with a red-tasseled gun, and the blind beggar disappeared.
Yin Fu secretly sighed: This blind man really has a bit of kung fu.
The boy came back cursing and closed the door.
Yin Fu came to the street again, he wanted to find an inn to stay first, and then come to inquire about the news.
Yin Fu walked into an inn called "Taigufeng". The owner was a straightforward person, and quickly moved him to the back. The twenty or so rooms in the inn were full of people, and several private rooms were newly opened. for the guest room.The shopkeeper let Yin Fu into a guest room that smelled of rotten sesame with a smile, and said, "I'm going to make do with it, there's nothing I can do. There are too many people who come to watch the competition. The inns in the county town are full of people. Even the Town God's Temple is too crowded." There are people living here, my place is a place of geomantic omen, the closest to Ji'an Hall." After finishing speaking, he went out.
Yin Fu was a little tired, so he lay down on the kang.After a while, the shopkeeper brought hot water, put it on a wooden bench, and said, "Wash your face and relieve fatigue. We have a lot of wind and soil in Shanxi." After finishing speaking, he went out again.
Yin Fu wiped his face, and when he smelled the sweat towel, he almost choked.He frowned, put down the sweat towel, and wiped his face with the corner of his clothes.He looked through the window, and the owner led the two guests into the courtyard and went to the opposite house.
Yin Fu lay down for a while, and was awakened by the conversation between the two people next door.A man with a rough voice said: "Speaking of Guo Yunshen's half-step punch, don't mention how powerful it is. The fist pierces the wall and cannot be resisted; it is like a continuous cannonball, with pure strength."
A person with a thin voice said: "It is better to know a thousand moves than to know one. Practice makes perfect, and it comes when you touch your hands. Bengquan is suitable for going straight in and out. The way is close, and the hands are fast. Stepping on the 'middle gate' is not only close, but also powerful." If you are fierce, the opponent is hard to avoid; especially if you are going straight forward, kicking hard, and rooting far, how can it not be powerful? If you want to hit him, he will not ignore it. Changing strength, such as chopping, drilling, and horizontal strength, will be released in response to the situation, and the main thing is the use of inner intention, energy and strength."
The person with a rough voice said: "The scriptures say: 'To understand the four tips is more than one essence, to understand the five elements is to add one energy, to understand the three stars is to have more strength.' Among the four tips, the hair is the tip of blood, the tongue is the tip of flesh, and the nails of the hands and feet are the tips of tendons. , the teeth are the tips of the bones; the five elements, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are inside, and the five sense organs are outside, tongue, eyes, mouth, nose, and ears. The three stars are the shoulder star, elbow star and wrist star. When the elbows and wrists are stretched according to the requirements, and when the bones are pulled out and sinking moderately, the small pits that appear on the shoulders, elbows, and wrists of standing fists are three stars. It marks whether the three-joint strength on the arms has been trained well Yes, you can get it by stretching. Bengquan also said that the three joints of punching are invisible. The three joints refer to the trunk, arms and legs everywhere, regardless of the root, middle, and tip three joints, and even one hand and one foot are divided into three joints. These three joints are as if they are combined. One, it can connect the whole body and complete one Qi. Divide into three, and each has its own department and different functions."
The man with a thin voice sighed: "I saw the old Mr. Che Yizhai practicing boxing. His roundabout steps are very powerful, he bounces freely, avoids the heavy and ignores the light, and hides the needle in the cotton."
The man with a rough voice interrupted him and said: "Guo Yunshen and Che Yizhai's teacher Li Luoneng once said that Guo Yunshen's martial arts were not as good as his brother Che Yizhai's. Naturally, Guo Yunshen was not convinced. A martial arts competition. I heard that Guo Yunshen will arrive early, and the martial arts competition must also be advanced!"
The person with a thin voice said: "There is also a great master in the Xingyi Gate."
"Who is it?" asked the rough voice.
"Song Shirong, he is over 60 this year. He is from Wanping County, Zhili Province. He later moved here and opened a watch shop as a business. Pu Chuan is the fifth generation successor of Xingyiquan. Xingyiquan is a generation of famous masters, and his younger brother Song Shide, known as the second Song Dynasty in Shanxi. Although Xingyiquan originated in Shanxi, but since Dai Longbang, although there are generations of successors, due to the disadvantages of conservatism, it is unknown. To Jiaqing, During the Daoguang period, it was almost lost. After Li Luoneng taught Song Shirong and Che Yizhai, Song and Che reintroduced Xingyiquan to Shanxi. From then on, Shanxi began to spread Xingyiquan. The revitalizer is also a representative of Shanxi Xingyi boxing." The man with a thin voice spoke with great interest.
The man with a rough voice asked: "Then why did Guo Yunshen choose Che Yizhai instead of Song Shirong?"
"Because of what Li Luoneng said, Guo Yunshen, who claims to be invincible all over the world, is of course not convinced. What Li Luoneng said was that Guo Yunshen is not as good as Che Yizhai, not that Guo Yunshen is not as good as Song Shirong." "How does Song Shirong compare with Guo Yunshen?" the man with a rough voice asked. "Song Shirong and Guo Yunshen are both taught by the same master, but their palms have their own styles. Guo Yunshen is famous for his strength and firmness, and Song Shirong is good for his lightness and quick change. Therefore, Zhili Xingyiquan is adjacent to rigidity, and Shanxi Xingyiquan is adjacent to it. Softness, each has its own merits. I heard that Song Daxia has obtained the essence of Xingyiquan and practiced real kung fu. His five-form boxing and twelve-form boxing are perfect, each has its own advantages, and is extremely vivid. He practiced the snake form and can develop the performance of a snake , turn around and turn left, the right hand can hold the right heel, turn right, the left hand can hold the left heel, turn around and stop, the body shape is like a coiled snake, start to practice, the body shape twists and turns like a snake pulling weeds Walking. He practiced the swallow shape, rubbing his body on the ground, and passed under the bench, and he was able to go out for more than a foot, just like a flying swallow chasing water. He practiced the civet cat climbing a tree, leaping up, with his hands and feet flat on the ground The wall can be stuck to the wall for a minute or two, like a nail hanging on the wall. Song Daxia fights with people, can make people fall from a distance, or make people fly into the air and fall to the ground, whatever he wants. He also likes Kunqu Opera and Go, and he is good at medicine The study of "Book of Changes" can be described as erudite and versatile. Song Daxia heard that Guo Yunshen was going to compete with Che Yizhai, and he probably hurt his peace. He made outsiders laugh at him and tried to persuade him several times, but it didn't work." The man with a rough voice sighed: "This senior Li Luoneng is really highly respected and has a brilliant performance. He has cultivated so many geniuses!" "No, his descendants include Che Yizhai, Song Shirong, Song Shide, He Yongheng, and Li Guangheng in Taigu, Shanxi alone; Zhang Xiaoping in Xin County, Shanxi; Guo Yunshen, Liu Qilan, Li Taihe, Liu Yuanheng in Shen County, Zhili Province; , Liu Xiaolan in Hejian, Li Jingzhai in Xin'an, Bai Xiyuan in Jiangsu Province, Meng Zhirong in Nanning, etc. The chief disciple Che Yizhai defeated Japan Banshan Taro in a sword competition ten years ago in Tianjin; his disciples Li Cunyi, Li Fuzhen, Meng Xingde and others participated in the Boxers Sports, bloody battles, famous at home and abroad. Liu Wenhua, Sun Lutang, Jiang Yunqiao and others have written books and actively spread Xingyiquan; Han Muxia and others are also well-known martial arts masters in the world." The person with a rough voice said: "Li Luoneng's name will be included in the annals of Chinese martial arts like Dong Haichuan!" At this time, Yin Fu suddenly heard the person with a soft voice say: "Senior brother, look, that person is..."
"Because of what Li Luoneng said, Guo Yunshen, who claims to be invincible all over the world, is of course not convinced.
