Chapter 7 The Sixth Patriarch Appears

As expected, three days later, someone yelled and yelled and slammed on the door.Listen to the sound, you know it's not good.Open the door to see, there are glass flowers again.But the boy took three steps back as soon as he saw the fool, as if he was afraid of getting his braids pulled, it seemed that he was afraid of getting his braids pulled. Today, however, Glass Flower is full of energy. With her thumb back, she pouted her chin and said: "Stupid, look, who is meeting you today!" An exquisite sedan chair carried by two people was parked outside the gate.There are eight men in the front and back, wearing blue cloth shirts, moon white satin chaps, pink and green belts, and gold thread tassels on the belts pressing the tops of their feet; wearing thin-soled quick boots on their feet, and a small cap with a short beam on their heads, which looks bright Clean and tidy; just judging from the clothes of this follower, sitting in the sedan chair is by no means an ordinary person.There are many people and many officials here, and the number of officials is from the seventh rank to the first rank. There are flagpoles erected everywhere in and outside the city, and there are all kinds of masters.Who knows who this is? But the battle has already bluffed Silly Er.

"Why are you staring blankly?" Glass Flower yelled at Silly Er, "I haven't asked Master yet." Silly Er said, "Master Suo, please!" But he was confused in his heart, and he didn't know who Master Suo was. The man in the sedan chair raised the shoulders of the sedan chair, and the two followed him up and raised the curtains of the sedan chair on both sides, and an old man came out from inside: a thin face, a gray beard, and long eyebrows drooping from both sides like ears of grain; wearing a suit The eye-catching golden tunic gown, the royal blue satin mandarin jacket, and a green emerald cap on the wing of the hat, inlaid on a gold holder with teeth.He drooped his eyelids, as if his eyes were closed, as if he didn't look at Shi Er at all, he was extremely atmospheric.It seemed that it was either a high-ranking official who visited privately in a micro-service, or a rich man with a lot of money. Most of them came to ask him to be a martial artist or a nurse.He was thinking about how he would decline if the old man asked him.But as soon as Glass Flower said the old man's name, his heart rang like a gong:

"Suo Tianxiang, master Suo, the ancestor of the Jinmen martial arts, don't you know, or pretend you don't know?!" Who in Tianjin does not know Suo Tianxiang's prestige! He firmly holds the top spot in the martial arts.It is said that holding the big top with one finger, kicking flies with one foot, and sleeping on a spider's web are his "three unique skills".He lived in Banqiao Hutong across from the Ximenli Town Office, but he lived in a secluded courtyard, and he was never seen, and he never appeared in public, but there was nothing wrong with his famous post.Great people have golden faces and silver faces, and it's rare to see them, but today they found them at his door.Silly Er didn't know why, but was a little flattered.He bowed respectfully to Suo Tianxiang and said:

"If you are not too dirty, please sit in the room and I will make you tea." Suo Tianxiang didn't seem to hear him, his eyes were still half-closed, he didn't speak or move his place. The glass flower then called out to Sha Er: "What is Master Suo's identity, can he enter your kennel? Master Suo heard that you don't see anyone in his eyes, so he told you to see and see, and also taught you how to behave in the future." Sha Er hastily shook his hand and said in a panic: "No, no, I am no match for Mr. Suo! I am far behind in status, seniority, and ability. I will never succeed! Mr. Suo, I am an idiot in front of you, and I am not a fart."

Suo Tianxiang looked as if he was asleep.After Silly Er finished speaking, he said coldly, "Didn't you want to take some 'magic whip' and whip me like an 'ice monkey'?" His voice was hoarse and hard, as if scolding someone. "I don't dare to be so crazy! Mr. Suo, I..." Silly Er didn't know whether it was shock or fear, and he was speechless. "Okay, let me ask you, who did you learn Kung Fu from?" Suo Tianxiang still half-closed his eyes. "Silly Er's ability is inherited from family." "Which faction?" "Sect? Can't mention martial arts. My father never told me."

Suo Tianxiang smiled contemptuously, still closed his eyes and said: "There is no martial art, it's called Kung Fu! That wouldn't be Dai Kuiyi's quack skills? Well, I'll test your knowledge first, you--" Although he heard the stupid Er's voice of refusal was terrified, but he still insisted on asking, "Who has the best kung fu in Tianjin Wei?" "Of course it's you, Mr. Suo, and Huo Yuanjia is under you, with plump nose and yellow iron hands." Silly Er had a smile on his face after he finished speaking, thinking that Suo Tianxiang would be happy to hear it.

Unexpectedly, when Suo Tianxiang heard Huo, Li, and Huang, the corners of his mouth turned down at the same time, as if to say that those three were not allowed after his name, and he should only be mentioned as one.Suo Tianxiang coughed dryly twice, and asked again: "Wulin people often say: Southern Fist and Northern Foot. How many kinds of Southern Fist do you know?" "I... haven't seen any of them." Silly Er was quite embarrassed. "Hmph, you also claim to be a martial arts practitioner. Then tell me, how many kinds of Nanquan have you heard of?" Suo Tianxiang's tone was very similar to that of an examiner.

"...I've heard people say that Plum Blossom Fist is very powerful. I still hear..." "Nonsense!" Suo Tianxiang stopped him and said, "There are plum blossom boxing in the north and the south, which one do you think it is? The northern Chaquan is divided into ten groups. One is mother and child, the other is Xingshou, the third is flying feet, the fourth is Shengping, and the fifth is Road Guandong, six roads ambush, seven roads are plum blossoms. Nanquan is divided into big and small plum blossom fists, and they are not very powerful. The most powerful ones are Liuquan, Cai Lifoquan, Hongfoquan, Baimeiquan, Huhe double-shaped boxing, and dragon-shaped boxing. Fist, Nanzhang Fist, Mantis Fist, Jap Fist, Black Dragon Fist, Taihu Fist, Longmen Fist, Iron Line Fist, Tiangang Fist..."

Suo Tianxiang uttered more than a hundred kinds in one breath, Sha Er's eyes widened when he heard it, thinking that if he meets an expert today, it's time to stumble. The glass flower was extremely proud and cried: "Stupid, you must be stupid! Do you have a mistress?" Suo Tianxiang's followers also laughed. Suo Tianxiang continued to ask: "Did your predecessors tell you, where did your kung fu come from?" His tone became more and more aggressive. "Xingyi—it seems to be." "Okay, tell me, who created the shape and meaning?" "It's hard to say, is it created by the ancestor Bodhidharma?"

"Haha, Patriarch Bodhidharma? Those are all rural people, ignorant and incapable of learning, spreading rumors. You can't even name the originator of Xingyi Quan, and dare to associate yourself with Xingyi. This Xingyi It was originally created by Ji Longfeng, a native of Puzhou, Shanxi in the early years of the Guo Dynasty. Zhang Yun’s "Xingyiquan Shuzhen" said, "At the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was Ji Gongjike, who was named Longfeng, a native of Pudong Zhufeng, Jingda Spearmanship, traveled all over the world, visited famous teachers, and got Yue Wumu's five boxing manual at Zhongnan Mountain. There are records in "Xinyi Liuhe Quanpu" and Ma Xueli's "Xingyi Quanpu". There are three schools of Xingyi. The Henan school is passed on to Ma Xueli, the Shanxi school is passed on to Dai Longbang, and the Hebei school is passed on from Dai Longbang to Li Luoneng. .Since you are from Anci County, you have learned Xingyi from your family, do you know Li Luoneng?"

Silly Er was so sweaty when he heard it, he shook his head, but he was unwilling to be ignorant in the eyes of Glass Flower and some people around him, so he thought about it and said: "My father once told me that my ancestors created this braiding skill from the flick of the leopard's tail. This is the key to obtaining 'Xingyi'." "It's even more nonsense! If you want to say 'Shaolin Five Fists', you can still use it. 'Shaolin Five Fist' is the five-shaped boxing of dragon, tiger, leopard, snake, and crane. The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and five internal organs , the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth should be applied to the outside, and they should be practiced interactively with essence, strength, qi, bones, and gods. There is indeed a "leopard boxing". The "twelve shapes" of Xingyi are bears and harriers. , dragon, tiger, 鼍, swallow, snake, monkey, horse, rooster, eagle, and 骀. Where does the 'leopard' come from? The shape and meaning must be in harmony, heart and mind, mind and energy, energy and strength, shoulders and Hip, elbow and waist, hands and feet. There are three levels of truth, three levels of kung fu, do you understand?" "Why is it called 'Three Layers'?" Silly Er couldn't answer, he really looked like an unadulterated idiot. "Hey, it's been a lot of effort today. Listen, the three levels of truth are-practice essence to transform qi, practice qi to transform spirit, and practice spirit to return to emptiness. The three levels of kung fu are-one level of bright energy, the second level of dark energy, Three layers of strength, you haven't even heard of this? My disciples can also recite it!" "I really don't understand anything. You keep talking to me, and I can't tell you anything." "It's funny, with your little skill, you want to get a foot in the Jinmen martial arts? You want to be king? It's ridiculous. You are young and ignorant, so you are so frivolous. I can tell you that I beat you. , every inch of ground in this world has a name and a surname. If you want to gain a foothold, it's not easy. Don't be short-sighted!" Glass Flower and everyone laughed together. "Master Suo, I definitely don't want to go into the martial arts. I can only play a few braids, and my kung fu on my body is like a broken heel - I can't lift it." Silly Er said seriously. "Oh?" Suo Tianxiang's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, a pair of gray eyes were dull and dull.He asked, "You don't have kung fu?" "Can I lie to you? Try me if you don't believe me." "Okay, let me try you. Do you move your braids?" Suo Tianxiang said. "Don't move your braids, just try your legs and feet, you will know that I don't have kung fu when you feel it." Suo Tianxiang said: "Let's have something to say first, let's try our legs and feet if we agree!" A follower came up and asked Suo Tianxiang if he would take off his robe. Suo Tianxiang shook his head, only lifted up the front of the robe and pinned it to his belt, and said to Sha Er: "This is called 'Thirty-six Moves'. Look!" As he spoke, he came up to Sha Er, kicking, kicking, kicking, pointing, sweeping, shoveling, hooking, and flicking with his two legs, specifically to take Sha Er's hand.Every move, every move, with posture and style, the shots are absolutely extraordinary, and they are quite grand.Silly Er suddenly remembered that Mao Chudeng, the master painter of Chunhe Construction Factory, wore all black every time he painted the house, and his every move was as refined as Ma Quanlu, a veteran of Tianfu Theater.After brushing the paste, there is no white spot on my body.All such masters behave unusually, and they must not be careless.He thought of the horoscope his father had taught him—swallowing, spitting, sinking, floating, dodging, unfolding, rising, and falling. While recalling, he used it carefully. Although it was unfamiliar, he could avoid left and right and cope with it.Because he had something to say first, he didn't move his braids, and he would never shake his braids when he had the opportunity.After fighting for a while, I found it a bit strange. Master Suo's fists and feet are of course well-crafted, and his gestures are exquisite and good-looking. Why is there no shocking, abrupt and dangerous moves? It seems that this old man is not willing to bully the juniors, and intends to I put on airs and didn't intend to hurt myself.This is also the bearing that a patriarch should have. This is the weather in May, today the ear is planted, and the sky is cloudy and stuffy.Suo Tianxiang's temples on both sides were already sweating, his head was shaking, and his temples were shining like cicada wings.Ordinarily, a person like Suo Tianxiang with excellent lightness skills shouldn't be like this, maybe he is old, after all, he is not as good as a young man, after a few tricks, he actually "huhu" a little panting.Sha Er said: "Do you always take a break?" Suo Tianxiang took advantage of him to speak, not paying much attention, and kicked Sha Er's belly suddenly, this kick went to a vital place.Silly Er can't help but "Chang'e swings her waist", just letting this foot pass.Suo Tianxiang kicked in the air, with too much force, he almost took his body out.He hastily retracted his legs, and was unable to stand still for a while, waved his hands in a panic, and finally stood up, pointing at the silly boy and saying: "Since you are tired, I will let you breathe." Everyone present could see that Suo Tianxiang was a bit weak.Silly thought, this old man came from a long way, stuffed in the sedan chair, he must have been caught in the heat, so he stopped his posture and said, "I'll bring you some tea." As soon as he turned around, he felt a flash of cold light behind him, The cold wind went straight to the back of his neck.He was thinking badly, and the braids on his head reacted faster than his thoughts. "Crack!" With a sound, he turned around again, only to see a sharp knife as long as a bucket ruler sticking out on the ground.Suo Tianxiang was poking like a wooden pillar in a daze, and there was a red mark on the back of his right hand, which was obviously for his own braid.And his braids were already hanging on his shoulders, like a snake player, the big green snake wrapped around his shoulders would come out again at any time.This sudden change stunned everyone.Someone thought, no wonder Suo Tianxiang didn't take off his robe just now, and he had hidden a knife in his arms, how could that idiot pull the knife to the ground faster than the blink of an eye? Suo Tianxiang couldn't make a sneak attack, he didn't stop doing nothing, he took a step forward to pull out the knife stuck in the ground, the silly braid was much faster than his hands, when the braid was wrapped around the handle of the knife, he pulled it up, and he slammed Throw it out, Crack! Chop it straight on a big willow tree on the left, go deep an inch, and make a trembling sound. Shouts from all around! Suo Tianxiang's whole body turned pale.His tone of voice to Sha Er was still quite strong, "Your boy is not trustworthy, you can't be called a martial arts man, you said you should not move your braids, and I will not move. Just wait, I will tell you to try Shaolin authentic" The Buddhist boxing of the "Shan" generation. The so-called Nei, Chu, Shan, Si, Tuan, Tong, Sheng, Guo, Shao, Nian, Yong, Zhe, Si, Duo, You, and Min are all big Buddhist gates. 'The word refers to the first three generations. If you use this kung fu, you will be broken, your bones will be broken, and your skin will be torn!" After saying this, he got into the sedan chair, and before he could follow up and lower the curtain, he pulled the curtain of the sedan chair by himself. Come down and follow along.The glass flower had already run to the front of the sedan chair, walking even faster. Sha Er stood still, staring at the speeding sedan chair, wondering in his heart, how could such a person with a frightening reputation end up with a real move.When you meet each other, walk around first, use your seniority as a hammer, and hit your head first.In terms of kung fu, a body full of fancy fists and embroidered legs is full of appearance.One point for ability, two points for mouth, and three points for airs.Move your mouth if you can't bear it, and if you can't hold it back, you still have a shelf to support it.He originally thought that everyone in the world was stronger than himself, but he never knew that his braids had swept away all these prominent people.It turns out that a big man is half based on his name, where the name comes from, only the **** knows.He began to believe in his ability.He happily walked into the yard, closed the door, stood in the courtyard, raised his breath with a stake, and seriously performed a set of ancestral one hundred and eight braiding skills.He felt more and more that the braids could be freely swayed freely, fiercely yet softly, dexterously and magnificently, as if they had the power to sweep the world and be invincible.He shook his head, swish, and the braids coiled smoothly on the top of his head. At this moment, he felt a warm beauty in his heart, but after he calmed down, he felt that there was still some vagueness, Inexplicable uneasiness.Yes, there are more things in the world that you don’t know than you know, and it’s easier to imagine than it is.Let's see!
