The Taoist priest asked Li Huqiu: "What kind of boxing do you practice?" Li Huqiu was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say it was Bagua, but since he was a child, he had learned the small and exquisite Kung Fu of Pirates, and he also had mastery of Long Yong and Wu Dingyi.
Tai Chi, Nie Xiaolin's Xingyi, and Zhang Yongbao's Shaolin Zen Martial Arts. It is not accurate to say that he has gained the best of hundreds of schools, because after all, he has not received the true inheritance of these sects. Li Huqiu hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Fist shape, method
Door, the way of boxing does not lie in the door, but in the practice. Practicing boxing is to cultivate one's body, and practicing the method is to nourish one's nature. All the great roads in the world will return to the sect. It is said that everything can change without leaving the sect. In the extreme, different paths lead to the same destination. Why should we separate the sects so clearly?
?”
The green-robed Taoist priest was in awe, "Sir, your skills are no longer limited to the sect's view, the distinction between inside and outside, and the change of hardness and softness. This understanding is even beyond your current realm. This is the first time that I have seen a higher level of mental skills."
A martial artist with a second level of physical skills, I would like to ask you, sir, what do you think of today’s Chinese martial arts?”
Li Huqiu said: "Martial arts has its own way of ups and downs. Today's national martial arts is weak, and it is not limited to martial arts. Westerners' methods are simple and effective. Historical experience has proven that those who fall behind will be beaten. Therefore, although national martial arts is wonderful,
But it is quite unwise to strive for the mainstream, and it is even more inappropriate to continue to pass it on. The so-called national arts cover a wide range of things, including martial arts, medical skills, even chess and cooking, which can be regarded as national arts, and they should all be passed down well.
.”
The green-robed Taoist said solemnly: "I am Chen Zhiyang, the authentic Taoist master. Mr. Chen Zhiyang has a big heart, which makes the poor Taoist respect him."
Taoism? In Li Huqiu's mind, the influence of a young boy throwing up a rope and climbing into the air out of thin air came to mind. It seemed that He Wenyu also came from this sect. The green-robed Taoist priest asked again: "Is there any method for cultivating boxing, sir?"
Mianjin?"[
Li Huqiu said: "Kung Fu training has made the membranes in the muscles thick and tough, the tendons long and thick, and the whole body is like a spider web, so you can use your strength. If someone touches your body, it will be like a flying insect."
Let it struggle on the spider web. If the web sticks and sticks, you can break through the web. Raising the fascia requires the skill of piles. The profound pile skills are the foundation of the boxing method to strengthen the fascia. My kung fu starts from the mind, so this
It’s not what I’m good at.”
He added: "As far as I know, the pile kung fu that can nourish fascia has been lost. Only ancient boxing has the secret of nourishing fascia and improving one's own endowment. It's just that if you practice this kind of water grinding kung fu for a long time, you will lose your ability.
It means that the ancients practiced martial arts in order to sell their goods to the emperor's family, and it became a means of settling down, making a living, and even becoming famous. This kind of cultivation of character has worn away the sharp edges in people's nature, just like the southern school of fire yoga in ancient yoga.
It can improve people's physical talent, but it will also develop Buddha nature and eliminate aggressiveness. Even if they are successful in learning, it will go against the original intention of most martial arts practitioners."
Chen Zhiyang said: "Mr. Li is a great expert, and what he said is correct. Human bones are hard and muscles are soft. Muscles can be developed very well, but they are dead meat that has lost their flexibility. Bones can be softened with drugs."
, it is a pity that it will lose its rigidity. Only fascia is the combination of rigidity and softness, and is the most resilient and has the greatest potential."
Li Huqiu said: "The Taoist master has profound martial arts training, but his talent is extremely ordinary. His current achievements must be due to his mastery of this ancient boxing technique."
Chen Zhiyang was not subtle: "Exactly! Pindao just wanted to study this living pile with his husband."
Li Huqiu said: "My stakes are also alive and controlled by my heart in my body, so I am not interested in your stakes skills."
Chen Zhiyang was slightly startled, with a surprised look on his face, and said: "A living stake in the body controlled by the heart?" Li Huqiu said exactly on his forehead. Chen Zhiyang said: "Mr. Li is really a genius of a generation, and I am willing to hear the details."
Li Huqiu said: "Qi and blood run in the body according to the route of boxing, either along or against, loose or tight, changing at any time to nourish the body. You said that muscles and bones cannot be trained, but I have practiced stealing the door.
With clever skills, all the muscles in my body are alive, and every bone can change its softness or hardness at will, but its toughness may not be worse than that of fascia. This is the living pile in my body."
Talking without practice is just a trick. When Chen Zhiyang said this, he stretched out his hand and said: "Please teach me a trick. How about letting me feel the live pile in my body?"
Li Huqiu stretched out an index finger and put it on the palm of Chen Zhiyang's hand, saying: "Why not?" As he said that, his fingertips were slightly bent. In an instant, it was exactly the method of exerting force by Finger Jinglong. With this move, Chen Zhiyang was shocked all over.
, it started to tremble from the palm of my right hand, to my arms, body, legs and even the soles of my feet. With a snap, the bluestone under my feet was stepped out into two deep foot sockets. It sank in but did not break. It was as if it was being carved with a carving knife.
.
Chen Zhiyang withdrew his hand, his face changed several times, and he said on his forehead: "This is called opening up the world. It is like a stake in the body that originates from the heart. It is so wonderful that it is beyond human ability." Li Huqiu said, Taoist Master Li Huqiu said.
It’s a ridiculous compliment, but I don’t deserve it. Chen Zhiyang shook his head and said: “It’s definitely not a ridiculous compliment. Mr. Li’s martial arts has broken away from the stereotypes of his predecessors and formed its own line. It is the first of its kind in martial arts. I think it can be called the most exquisite technique in Chinese martial arts. Even though
If it cannot be carried forward, the inheritance must not be cut off."
Li Huqiu said: "If the Taoist priest has any advice, just say it directly."
Chen Zhiyang said: "This is not the place to talk. If Mr. Li has some spare time, he can go to the suburbs of Beijing to watch Ziwei."
From the beginning to the end, these two people were the only ones talking, talking about the wonderful principles of martial arts and the essence of boxing techniques, and the others never interfered. However, no matter how subtle their words were, for Ma Chunxiao and Luo Xiaobao, who were not familiar with martial arts,
As for the four masters of Yanqing boxing and famous Paizi players, whose realms are far different, they are almost like chickens and ducks. Ma Chunxiao only remembers that the Taoist invited Li Huqiu to visit Ziwei, and Li Huqiu agreed.
.
Chen Zhiyang said to Luo Xiaobao, Mr. Luo, the four of us were ordered by your Majesty to protect you. We have not made any achievements for more than a month, but you have treated us with courtesy. I really feel guilty. Today, Mr. Li is here, and we are waiting for you.
I wanted to do my best for Mr. Luo, but I was not good at studying and could not overcome his merits****
Luo Xiaobao said, these guys didn't come here voluntarily anyway, and now their skills are not as good as others, but they still have an explanation for my old man, so please do as you please.
****
Chen Zhiyang and the other four were defeated, and Luo Xiaobao had no choice but to discuss business with Li Huqiu.
Li Huqiu glanced at Ma Chunxiao and then at Luo Xiaobao, "Tell me, what are your plans for plotting against me to drive away these four people?" [
Ma Chunxiao was surprised: "Did you see it?"
Luo Xiaobao said: "Did my previous performances be too bad?"
Li Huqiu smiled and said, "No, it should be said that except for the parking lot, what you said is basically the truth. It can't be considered acting."
Ma Chunxiao asked: "What happened in the parking lot?"
Li Huqiu looked at Luo Xiaobao and said: "When Mr. Luo suspected that I was coming to kill him in the parking lot, he acted very scared, but his heart did not follow his expression. This shows that he was mentally prepared. From that time on, I
I suspected that the relationship between you two was not as strong as you said. At that time, I thought you were leading me to trouble Mr. Luo for Chu Lie’s sake****”
"Okay!" Ma Chunxiao interrupted: "Stop talking, you are right. I have colluded with him a long time ago. I came to you to help him drive away those four people, or to fight.
But those four, let them beat you up for my sister. What I told you about committing suicide with more than 100 stabs is all true. Luo Xiaobao is indeed an important witness. He has already promised to help Brother Chu.
But Uncle Robert hired four people from a non-governmental organization to protect Luo Xiaobao, and they almost completely restricted Xiaobao's movements. That's it, Li Huqiu, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
The truth came out, which was different from what Li Huqiu expected. Luo Xiaobao knew something. Ma Chunxiao wanted to help Chu Lie handle the case, so he persuaded Luo Xiaobao to surrender. Luo Xiaobao had already agreed for Ma Chunxiao, but Secretary Luo felt sorry for his son and was afraid of him.
Something went wrong, so he asked someone to protect him. Ma Chunxiao asked Li Huqiu to deal with the four masters. He brought Luo Xiaobao back to Beijing to cooperate with Chu Lie in investigating the case.
Li Huqiu shook his head and smiled: "No, it seems that my mission has been completed. Can I leave?"
"Don't!" Ma Chunxiao and Luo Xiaobao said in unison. Chunxiao said: "The enemy is very powerful, extremely ambitious, and almost impenetrable. Brother Chu is still collecting materials and has no time to come to Shencheng. Luo Xiaobao just went back to Jingtai."
It's dangerous, so I want to ask you to do it to the end, send Buddha to the west, and send us back to Beijing. Don't worry, your hard work will never be in vain. I will tell you a big secret related to you."
Li Huqiu was planning to go to see Dong Zhaofeng to ask about Jing Cizhai and Huaxia Zhu Youshu. This matter was related to the privacy and secrets of Li Yuanchao, a political figure. He said it was a lot of inconvenience on the phone. Because of Guo Baofeng, the thief king always felt that he owed it
The person from the special investigation department immediately agreed.

Ma Chunxiao returned to the house where her sister lived. Chun Nuan had just taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa watching TV wearing only a bathrobe. Chun Xiao packed her luggage in a hurry as soon as she entered the door.
"What are you doing?" Chun Nuan asked, turning off the TV.
"Go home!" Chunxiao packed her bags and replied without raising her head.
Ma Chunnuan was surprised: "Oh? Is this the prodigal son turning back? Oh, that's wrong, it's the prodigal daughter turning back."
Chunxiao said angrily: "I hate it! How could you say such a thing about your sister?"
Chun Nuan said rudely: "Don't bullshit me, kid. Since you were a kid, how could you ever hide your worries from me? Tell me what happened quickly, otherwise you won't be able to go anywhere."
Ma Chunxiao stopped and said, "I found an important witness here for a case that Brother Chu is investigating. He agreed to come back to Yanjing with me to testify."
Ma Chunnuan was slightly startled and said: "That's right. It just so happens that I have to go back to Yanjing. We have a program that has been stuck again at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."
Ma Chunxiao was shocked. During this trip, she privately invited Li Huqiu to escort Luo Xiaobao. Including the previous meeting with Li Huqiu, she did it without telling her sister. She never expected that Ma Chunnuan would suddenly come to Beijing. Chunxiao did not dare to hide it anymore.
Said: "Sister, yes, there is something. I need to tell you in advance." Ma Chunnuan smiled and said: "What is it? Why can't you talk well?" Chun Xiao said: "I'll tell you.
, don’t get excited, in addition to me and the witness, there is also Brother Li’s son on this trip back to Beijing.”
Ma Chunnuan was stunned at first, then jumped up from the sofa, looking at Chunxiao with fear, and asked: "Did you tell him what happened that night?" Chunxiao quickly shook his head, "Not yet."
Ma Chunnuan let out a long breath, and didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. She had just talked with Xiao Luoyan on the phone before. Luoyan's attitude was clear, hoping that she could abide by their agreement, and once again proposed to make that night
Chunnuan told Huqiu about what happened. Chunnuan vowed again. She told Luoyan that your family was in chaos enough and she would not add to it. What Ma Chunnuan said was final and she would never go back on it. What she said at that time was enough.
It's quite satisfying to be righteous, but I can't help but feel aggrieved and regretful afterwards. I can't help but think that as for Li Huqiu's messy private life, Kui Luoyan still defends him to the death and regards Wei Xiaobao as Brother Jing. What a good thing there is.
, you use it, she uses it, why don’t you allow me to use it? [
"Li Huqiu is also going." Ma Chunnuan tapped the tea table with her slender fingers. Her fingertips were like bamboo shoots that had just emerged in spring, white, delicate and endearing.
Ma Chunxiao explained: "Sister, if you find it inconvenient, don't come with us. This journey actually involves certain risks."
Ma Chunnuan shook his head gently, with a firm expression: "No, why should I avoid him? I have nothing to feel sorry for him. On the contrary, he should feel sorry for me."
****
Li Huqiu first greeted Xiao Luoyan and said he was going to Beijing. He only said that if he had important matters, he must consult Master Dong in person. He then contacted Dongyang and gave a few instructions. Finally, he asked Zhang Yongbao to accompany him. The reason why he did not ask Xiaonan was
Brother, it’s because Yan Ming was about to give birth and Shang Nan was promoted to father. It would be a bit unkind to drag Brother Xiao Nan to Yanjing at such a significant historical moment. Li Huqiu had a premonition that he might encounter someone during this trip.
It was troublesome, so I called Uncle Bao to help.
Before departure, Li Huqiu stayed in a hotel run by a company owned by Free Society in Shanghai. After all, his current identity was still a wanted criminal registered with the authorities, so his whereabouts had to remain a certain degree of mystery. But just before they set off, Chen Zhiyang and Yang Songde
But he came to ask for a meeting. When Li Huqiu agreed to meet, he said to Zhang Yongbao, "Although there is no airtight wall in the world, the wind penetrates the wall of Free Society too quickly."
Chen Zhiyang and Yang Songde met the thief king in the hotel room.
Chen Zhiyang got straight to the point: "I didn't expect that the great master I met by chance had an extraordinary origin. He was the future prince in the court, the leader of the Free Society in the opposition, and the most famous thief king in the world."
Li Huqiu said: "If you have something to say, it's best to say it directly so that I can know your position as soon as possible. Otherwise, my time is tight and I will have to kill you and silence you before I leave."
Chen Zhiyang said sternly: "Pindao is here to explain something to the King of Thieves." He then added: "It's related to Mr. Luo's trouble."
Li Huqiu was immediately interested: "I would like to hear the details."
"The King of Thieves comes from a sect of thieves, so he must have some knowledge of the upper, lower, and lower sects."
"Of course, the top three are mystery, manifestation, and concealment; the bottom five are theft, fraud, entrapment, kidnapping, and prostitution; the noble family ranks first."
Chen Zhiyang said: "Heroes don't care about their origins. Although the King of Thieves comes from a thieving family, his actions are not the things of a great man. Although Pindao is the head of the Xuanmen clan, he is a mediocre person who only knows how to cultivate his character and cultivate his moral character in his life.
, build a tree from half of it.”
Li Huqiu said: "Your self-cultivation skills are amazing. Everyone has their own choice. If everyone can be independent, the world will not need people like me. What you have done is in line with Taoist tranquility."
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
Chen Zhiyang thanked the editor and said: "The upper three sects and the lower five sects all have origins and have branches. For example, our Xuanmen is divided into three branches, the authentic Xuanmen and the leftist Xuanmen. There are also disdain disciples who form the Xuanmen.
The sect is evil, and everything it does is an act of evil that is infuriated by both humans and gods. Among the three upper sects, the one with the least involvement in the charlatanism is undoubtedly the Xianmen."
Li Huqiu only heard of Xianmen by name, and the rest of them turned to look at Zhang Yongbao as soon as they knew it. Chen Zhiyang bowed and said: "This gentleman is powerful and vigorous. Although he is over sixty years old, he is as strong as a young man. He has always heard that
There is a great master of Shaolin Kung Fu who is proficient in Shaolin Kungfu next to the King of Thieves, I guess he is your Excellency?"
Zhang Yongbao only smiled slightly at Chen Zhiyang, then turned to Huqiu and said: "I know very little about Xianmen. I only vaguely remember that when I was young, I wandered around the world. One year, I passed by an old house deep in Lushan Mountain in Gan Province.
Inside is a family named Wang. Everyone is good at writing, and their Kung Fu skills are mainly spears and poles. There is an old man in the family who loves Peking Opera. He especially likes to sing the "Pick the Pulley" part, and always plays his voice in the yard.
To show off my figure, there were two flags on the stage to pick the pulley. However, the old man used a stone millstone of 600 kilograms to sing the pulley. He only used a wooden pole as thick as a duck egg. He could pick up five millstones in a row. I was so energetic at that time.
I tried my hand, and the result was undefeated, but I knew that he was fighting me empty-handed, which was equivalent to using his own shortcomings against my strengths. If he had used a big pole at that time, I would definitely lose. The old gentleman claimed to be
A member of the Xianmen family. It is said that the Xianmen family was founded by a group of noble families."
Chen Zhiyang praised: "Mr. Zhang has extensive knowledge and knowledge, and what he said is true to every word. The old man surnamed Wang is the contemporary leader of the Xianmen clan, Mr. Wang Yishan." Then he talked about the origin of the Xianmen clan.
The Qin and Han dynasties were both unified empires. After adjustments to the families of various countries, a pattern of about five large families and about 20 small families was formed in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, in ancient times, "change of dynasty but not change of generation" meant that no matter who became the emperor, all
To use people from these families as officials, the so-called "nepotism", "kin" refers to the children of the aristocratic families. The first person to disrupt this situation was Cao Cao. He put forward the slogan of "appointing people on their merits", recruiting civilians as officials, and suppressing
The power of the aristocratic family. But Cao Cao ultimately failed. The Wei Kingdom he founded only lasted for two generations before it was usurped by the Sima family and changed the Wei Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. The Sima family was a descendant of an aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family model was restored.
It was the Tang Dynasty that really cut off the lifeline of aristocratic families. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established the imperial examination system, using examination results as the prerequisite for officialdom, rather than the traditional prerequisite for the blood of aristocratic families. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty suppressed aristocratic families in order to avoid losing power. The Han people have always been
Expansive, but after the great rise of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, it was constantly invaded by foreigners. In the Song Dynasty, the saying "Buddhism flourished, but the national lineage was weak" began to circulate, thinking that the imported Indian culture was not good, but in fact it has something to do with Buddhism and the decline of our own culture.
Without the power of inheritance and creation, the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty was just a lively scene supported by force. The existence of aristocratic families gave intellectuals room to respect themselves. The imperial examination system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties took away the retreat for intellectuals.
If you are not an official, you will have no dignity; if you are an official, you will have no freedom.
Chen Zhiyang paused when he said this, and Li Huqiu said: "So some children from aristocratic families who disdain to serve as officials established the Xianmen?" Chen Zhiyang raised his head and said: "The king of thieves, Dazhi, is indeed like this. What the people in the Xianmen inherit is
Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, Dharma, Ming, Mohism, Zongheng, Zongheng, Za, and Agriculture are the nine academic disciplines. Mr. Wang Yishan inherited the Mohist spirit."
Li Huqiu knew that he had something else to say, so he remained silent and motioned for Chen Zhiyang to continue. Chen Zhiyang continued: "Nowadays, Western culture is booming in China. Seeing that the traditional Chinese martial arts will wither and be lost, the people in the Xian family have been dormant for a long time, and they are extremely quiet.
When I was thinking about it, some people hoped to revive the essence of our Chinese martial arts school, so they sent their disciples out to make friends with powerful people to practice Chinese martial arts, hoping to promote the glory of our Chinese martial arts."
Li Huqiu said: "This is a good thing."
Chen Zhiyang said: "It is indeed a good thing, but everything has two sides. There are many amazing and talented people in the Xian family, and they are all inherited from aristocratic families and have their own unique skills. It is inevitable that they cannot agree on the same opinions. Mr. Wang thinks that
Everbright's traditional academics need to keep pace with the times and do things step by step; another elder from the Za family named Cui has the opposite view. He believes that time waits for no one and that the sooner the better, the best way is to find a way to be among the officials.
To develop their power, the two became fiercely competitive, and finally divided the Xianmen into two factions."
Li Huqiu said: "Sir, you have told so many secrets, which really opened my eyes, but what does this have to do with Luo Xiaobao?"
"King of thieves, please be patient." Chen Zhiyang said: "This brings us to the key point. Now, in order to quickly promote traditional scholarship, the Cui family has united with the Hidden Sect, another door among the upper three sects. This
I wonder if the Hidden Gate King of Thieves knows his origin?"
Li Huqiu said: "I heard this from a senior. It is said that when Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty Hongwu was defeated, he was defeated by King Yan in the southern expedition. After that, he did not know whether he was alive or dead. The remaining members of Jianwen's party became rebels and did not dare to raise their heads to see the world.
, had to hide in the deep mountains and swamps, and attempted to overthrow Zhu Di's dynasty with assassination plots and other means. However, after years of hard work, they were never able to do so. Instead, they were killed by Zhu Di and his descendants' Jin Yiwei and Factory Guards, hiding in Tibet.
For three hundred years, these people never dared to see anyone. Later generations gradually developed into a hidden door, which is the Hidden Door. Because what they are planning are all major events, they are definitely not the cat-stealing and mouse-stealing actions of the lower five doors. Therefore, it is
Ranked among the top three gates, it seems that what Master Chen really wants to tell me is about this hidden gate."
Chen Zhiyang said: "That's right, so the people of the Hidden Sect are best at subversion and assassination. There is an assassination organization under their sect called Bloodstain, but I wonder if the King of Thieves has ever heard of it?"
