The northbound train stopped slowly at the platform, and travelers swarmed out of the carriage at a brisk pace. In the blink of an eye, the originally empty platform became bustling with people, making it very lively.
Zheng Shanao stood in the crowded crowd, uncertain as a bell, like an old monk sitting in meditation, with his hands folded in his sleeves.
At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked sharply through the crowd to the car door not far away. There, a tall, white-faced, beardless older man was looking around, his eyes bright and imposing.
Zheng Shanao perked up and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The needless elder also saw Zheng Shanao, and couldn't help showing a smile in his eyes. He also walked towards Zheng Shanao.
As soon as he left, a young man wearing a melon cap and a sinister expression walked out of the car door, following closely behind him.
Immediately after, a woman with bright eyes and white teeth walked out, and an old man who was as hunched as a sick cat came out.
These four people are obviously together, and Zheng Shanao came here for these four people.
"Uncle Gong!" Zheng Shanao bowed his hands to Elder Wu Wu from a distance, looking very excited, "I send you my regards, I've been waiting for you to come!"
Elder Wu Xu grabbed Zheng Shanao's hands and said with a smile: "I passed by Jinmen half a year ago and met you once. At that time, you were not as energetic as you are now."
"My heart is concerned and I don't dare to grow old." Zheng Shan said with a proud smile, "Uncle, why aren't you like this? In the past ten years, whenever I see you, you always look the same. You are three years older than me.
Years old, but when we stand together, I look much older than you."
The two laughed together.
At this time, the man with a gloomy expression raised his hand to Zheng Shanao and said loudly: "Senior Brother Zheng, Ma San gives you my regards!"
"San'er." Zheng Shan smiled proudly at him and said, "I heard that when you returned to the Demon City, you won eight out of ten battles. You really made your senior brother proud."
"Master taught me well!" Ma San said proudly.
Zheng Shanao looked away, smiled and raised his hands to the stooped old man: "Old Jiang, are you feeling well?"
"You can't die." Lao Jiang said lazily, without even raising his eyelids or saying hello to Zheng Shanao.
Zheng Shanao didn't take it seriously, and finally looked at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth: "The second girl is getting more and more beautiful."
"Hello, Senior Brother Zheng." The girl gave Zheng Shan an arrogant smile.
The unnecessary elder is called Gong Baosen, he is the sect leader of Xingyi Bagua Sect and Zheng Shanao’s uncle, but he is only three years older than Zheng Shanao.
Ma San'er is his apprentice, and the second girl is his daughter. The big name is Gong Ruomei, also called Gong Er.
Lao Jiang is Gong Er's servant and a master of swordsmanship.
"I know that you like peace and quiet, uncle, and especially hate red tape, so I came to pick you up by myself without bringing anyone with me." Zheng Shan said with a proud smile.
"Sure." Gong Baosen nodded, "I'll just stay in your house, Shan Ao, I'm sorry for bothering you so much."
"What did Uncle Master say?" Zheng Shanao said hurriedly, "Then let's go home first."
The whole journey was silent.
After arriving at the Zheng family's residence, Zheng Shanao personally arranged the rooms for Gong Baosen and others, and then led them to the martial arts hall to talk.
"Senior Brother Zheng, I heard that you have accepted another disciple? And you have gained a reputation as a Jinmen hero?" After everyone sat down, Gong Er asked curiously, "You have accepted this disciple of yours."
You have obtained two true successors. According to the rules, this Jinmen hero can be regarded as your closed disciple, right?"
Zheng Shanao pondered slightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "He and I are both teachers and friends. He is not my disciple. However, my quota as a true disciple is indeed used on him."
These words shocked everyone present.
Not counting as a disciple, but using up the quota of true disciples. This kind of situation is not unheard of in the martial arts, but it is too rare.
Generally speaking, either the apprentice has a transcendent status and the master intends to reach a higher level; or the apprentice has another famous teacher, but the master is so happy that he would rather not have the title of master and apprentice, but still want to teach him martial arts.
Ma San's eyes flashed and he said: "I heard someone tell me on the way here that this Jinmen hero's surname is Geng Liangchen. He is only in his early twenties. At first, he was just a Liba carrying big bags on the streets of Jinmen..."
Such a background is obviously not considered a transcendent status, and that is the second reason that allowed Zheng Shanao to teach his martial arts.
"This person...is very talented in martial arts?" Ma San asked.
"I have practiced martial arts for less than a year, and my martial arts has reached a state of perfection. I can do Bagua, Wing Chun, Western boxing, Siamese boxing, karate, jujitsu, Korean Taekwondo, Mongolian wrestling, etc." Zheng Shanao said slowly.
, "Man and sword merge into one, young master, do you think he has any talent?"
The four of them were all moved, showing expressions of disbelief.
"Practice martial arts for less than a year? The combination of man and sword?" Ma San sneered, "Senior Brother Zheng, this is just for deceiving laymen. How can we ever repay this?"
Zheng Shanao said seriously: "Do you think I'm lying to you? San'er, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. You think it's impossible, just because you haven't seen it yet!"
Before Ma San could follow up, Zheng Shanao looked at Gong Baosen and continued: "Uncle Master, what I told you in the telegram is also related to Geng Liangchen. I created the new martial arts based on him.
The reason why I was able to create this martial arts is that Geng Liangchen has done a great job."
Ma San frowned and seemed to say something else, but Gong Baosen stretched out his hand to stop him and said slowly: "Shan Ao, use your new martial arts to help San'er."
"Okay, uncle!" Zheng Shan said with an proud smile.
The reason why he brought Gong Baosen and others to this martial arts arena was to show off their skills, so naturally he would not refuse.
Seeing Zheng Shanao and Ma San walking into the field, Gong Er curiously asked in a low voice: "Dad, do you think what Senior Brother Zheng said is true?"
Gong Baosen narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "We don't know everything, so we can't judge arbitrarily. There are so many things in this world that we have never seen. If we haven't seen it with our own eyes, we can't say that it doesn't exist."
In fact, Gong Baosen didn't believe it in his heart. He had been practicing martial arts all his life, and only today could he be called a martial arts master by the world. But this Geng Liangchen had only practiced martial arts for one year, so he was considered a master?
So why has he been practicing hard for decades and not getting lazy?
This is the same as studying Chinese medicine.
An old Chinese medicine practitioner who had been studying Chinese medicine all his life suddenly heard about a "young medical god" who could cure cancer and heart disease after studying medicine for less than a year.
What do you think the old Chinese medicine doctor’s first reaction would be?
In the field, Zheng Shanao and Ma San held each other's fists, and the martial arts competition officially began.
The three people on the sidelines gathered their thoughts and watched intently.
After the two joined hands, Zheng Shanao's first move made Ma San on the stage and the three audience members frown.
Zheng Shanao actually took the initiative to distance himself from Ma San.
Zheng Shanao practiced Baguazhang, while Ma San obtained the true inheritance of Gong Baosen’s Xingyiquan.
The characteristics of Baguazhang are that it walks like a dragon, moves like a monkey, and changes posture like an eagle. It has black hands and is especially good at close-up fighting.
Xingyiquan, on the other hand, was born out of the military formation, and its style of boxing is much simpler. It emphasizes stepping like a plow, landing like a root, shooting like a steel file, and falling like a hook. Once you get close, it's easy to be unable to use it.
But now, Zheng Shanao, who is good at fighting close to each other, actually takes the initiative to distance himself. Isn't this using his own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths?
The people in the audience were confused. Ma San on the stage would not be polite to Zheng Shan'ao. When he saw Zheng Shan'ao acting like this, he walked like he was walking through mud and fired a cannon directly towards Zheng Shan'ao's middle road.
Zheng Shanao slipped into Ma San's arms in a flash, as fast as lightning.
Ma San's expression changed, and he reacted immediately. He took half a step back, and stretched out his hand to block Zheng Shanao's "Rely on the Mountain".
Reliance on the Mountain is a famous move in Baguazhang for close-quarters sneak attacks. Ma San is extremely familiar with this move. Although the move Reliance on the Mountain used by Zheng Shanao seems to be much simplified, Ma San still recognizes it at a glance.
As the saying goes, boxing is afraid of young people. Ma San is much younger than Zheng Shanao, and he has been studying diligently. Now, both in terms of martial arts and physical condition, he is at the peak of his life.
In comparison, Zheng Shanao has been pampered for more than ten years. Coupled with his old age and frailty, his martial arts has declined a lot, and his physical functions are far inferior to those when he was young.
Therefore, if this competition were to go according to its original meaning, Zheng Shanao would definitely lose.
Just like now, although Zheng Shanao made a surprise attack, Ma San immediately reacted and blocked him.
Not only did he block him, Ma San also instantly judged at this moment what changes and routines Zheng Shanao would use in his next move.
Ma San is confident that no matter what move Zheng Shanao uses, he can't escape his blocking and counterattack.
But Ma San soon stopped thinking so.
The moment he blocked Zheng Shanao's shoulder from hitting him, his heart suddenly "thumped"!
Because this move was actually a false move, weak and weak!
The moment he put his hand on Zheng Shanao's shoulder, Zheng Shanao took advantage of the situation and leaned back, and actually used the white ape to hold the peach attack!
Normally speaking, this move relies on the back of Yishan. No matter how you pick it up, it is impossible to lend this move to White Ape Tuotao. This is simply unrealistic! Because these two moves are not on the same channel at all!
Just like when you raise your hand to pick up something from a high place, you cannot immediately use this hand to scratch the soles of your feet. This is simply not possible.
However, Zheng Shanao took advantage of this backward movement and created the conditions for the use of White Ape Tuotao's move.
It's like you did a big split and put your long legs on the wall. Although you raised your hands, the soles of your feet were just next to your palms, and you could reach out and scratch them.
Nowadays, this kind of operation is called a show operation.
That is, operations that others cannot predict at all.
Ma San was immediately hit.
He was knocked over by Zheng Shanao's White Ape Topper and staggered back several steps before he regained his balance.
He was stunned, unwilling and angry, and quickly pounced on him again.
Ma San flew up and kicked Zheng Shanao straight in the face.
According to the concept of fighting in traditional martial arts, this kick is not high, but is fast and hard. Regardless of the martial arts, the main method of fighting this move is to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, guard against or dodge.
But Zheng Shanao didn't.
He suddenly dived out and got under the horse's crotch.
While passing by, Zheng Shanao used the Heavenly King's Tower move.
"Hey hey hey..."
Ma San, who was in mid-air, was lifted up by Zheng Shanao, and immediately lost his balance and was thrown away.
"Pfft..." Gong Er burst out laughing on the spot.
The scene just now was like Ma San sitting on Zheng Shanao's raised palm after jumping high, and Zheng Shanao held Ma San's butt in his hand and gave Ma San a ride.
As funny as you want.
Although this scene was funny, Gong Baosen and Lao Jiang had shocked expressions on their faces, leaning forward as if they were seeing ghosts, staring intently at the field, with no trace of a smile on their faces.
They are both veterans and masters of martial arts. Although Zheng Shanao's reaction in the two rounds just now seems to be Baguazhang, it is not at all the martial arts of Baguazhang. Rather, it seems that he has integrated Baguazhang into it.
He went to another martial arts.
Baguazhang was already famous for its versatility and cunningness, but now Zheng Shanao's fighting style has become more cunning and varied. The connection and combination of his moves and moves are simply amazing in the eyes of Gong Baosen and Lao Jiang.
It’s incredible and unimaginable!
His choice of moves when dealing with the enemy was completely unrestrained, which went against the principles of traditional martial arts.
Of course, there have only been two rounds of fighting now, Zheng Shanao has shown very little, and Gong Baosen and Lao Jiang can't see much.
They were not in a hurry to express any opinions, because the third round of competition on the field began again.
After being thrown away, Ma San and Lazy Donkey rolled around and stabilized themselves.
Feeling the heat covered by the palm of his hand in the triangle area under his buttocks, he was filled with shame and anger. He had always been proud and arrogant, but Zheng Shanao humiliated him with such a vulgar move. How could he endure it?
At that moment, Ma San roared and rushed towards Zheng Shanao again.
Zheng Shanao did not retreat but advanced, and went forward to meet him.
But instead of walking in a straight line, he swayed left and right.
"This is not just the footwork of Baguazhang flying to the Nine Palaces!" Gong Baosen, who was watching the battle, immediately lit up his eyes, "This footwork also includes... Western boxing? Yes, the footwork of Western boxing!"
Gong Baosen was shocked. He never imagined that the combination of the traditional Baguazhang Feijiugong footwork and the Western boxing footwork would have the effect of one plus one being far greater than two!
Ma San couldn't capture and predict Zheng Shanao's next move at all, and he was a little panicked at the moment.
The next moment, Zheng Shanao used the wind wheel spindle to deceive Ma San's center of gravity, and combined two consecutive moves, which directly knocked Ma San back and staggered to the ground. Ma San had no chance to block.
"Ahhh!"
Ma San, who was mad again, rushed up again. Zheng Shanao calmly dived and swayed to trick Ma San into using his moves, and hit Ma San with a blow that penetrated his ear, leaving Ma San stunned on the spot.
Without waiting for Ma San to react, Zheng Shanao suddenly jumped out and circled behind Ma San. His arms wrapped around his neck, his legs wrapped around his waist, and he suddenly fell backwards.
Naked hanging!
Without any reaction from Ma San, the naked choke was already in place. He was unable to resist at all, nor could he exert any strength or make any reaction to break free.
Ma San's face turned red instantly and his veins popped out. For the first time, he felt that death was so close to him.
"Stop!" Gong Baosen, who was watching the battle, saw the danger and couldn't help but get angry and shouted.
