The old man is none other than Ding Lianshan, Gong Baosen's senior brother back then.
On the surface, he was handing over money as a greeting gift, but actually he was taking action against Su Yi.
When he stretches out his hand, a layman will naturally be unable to see anything, but an expert, especially a discerning expert, can see that this is an extremely advanced killing move that contains many subsequent complex changes!
This is by no means an exaggeration, and it is definitely not some mythical thing.
Look at Ding Lianshan, his feet are in front and one back, with his front toes pointed forward, his back feet stretched across, and his feet slightly apart.
This is the plum blossom stake in the Bagua Zhuang Gong. In this stance, the feet are like a bow, the waist is like an axis, and the body is like a swimming dragon and the aura is like a flag.
What does that mean?
The feet are like arches, which means that the stance method of this kind of pile exercise is different from other pile exercises. It requires the heels and toes to dig into the ground, and the soles of the feet cannot touch the ground.
If you have ever seen the posture of cats before preying, you will know that the biggest advantage of such a stance is its "quick force". No matter what situation you encounter, you can respond as quickly as possible. The so-called "encountering an enemy is like
"Burn the body with fire" is where it comes from.
Once the enemy reacts, it will be as big as a spark falling into the body along the collar.
The waist is like an axis, which is related to the T-shaped stance of the feet. In this position, the whole person can switch freely and freely. No matter which direction Su Yi launches an attack, Ding Lianshan will face the enemy head-on immediately. His waist is like
It is like a bearing that allows the body to rotate in any direction at any time.
The body is like a swimming dragon and the energy is like a flag. The former means "moving like a river and stillness like a mountain", while the latter means "the energy spreads throughout the body and becomes natural".
The former refers to the agility and flexibility of Bagua Step, and the latter refers to the ease of sending and receiving Bagua Jin.
There is no doubt that Ding Lianshan is a subtle master, and even a beginner can stand on the plum blossom pile, which makes him stand in a state where there is no flaw.
The arm he handed to Su Yiyin was stretched out. It looked soft, but in fact it was "empty", ready to be injected with energy at any time. Once used, this arm could turn into copper tendons and iron bones, and attack could become a murderous weapon.
.
This is the characteristic of the highest state of Zhuang Gong. When Zhuang Gong reaches its peak, the whole body will be loose and loose. It seems that there is no strength at all, but in fact the strength is everywhere. If you push him, you will only push "empty"
, not only will the opponent not fall down, but he will be able to knock you over if he uses his strength at will.
This is the state that can only be achieved by the older generation of traditional martial artists who have practiced pile kung fu to perfection.
Some swindlers in later generations have seen the power of their predecessors, but they don't know what they are doing. They imitate cats and tigers, and perform in front of the camera, beating cattle across mountains and knocking people away. They have turned the magical realm of martial arts into a third-rate deception, which is really sad and lamentable.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Su Yi wants to reach such a state, he still needs at least thirty years of success. There is no possibility of cheating.
There is a saying that "everything has two sides", and this is true.
If Su Yi's martial arts skills were lower and his brain was stupider, he would have been careless and not care about stepping forward at this time, but there would be a certain probability of "beating the old master to death with random punches".
It just so happened that Su Yi was a master, with a very quick mind and a rich imagination, so this was going to cost him his life.
Ding Lianshan just stood there motionless, and Su Yi instantly imagined dozens of scenes of being knocked to the ground by the opponent using various moves!
He found that no matter how he tried to get the piece of silver, he would be quickly restrained or knocked down by the opponent using various moves, without exception.
As long as he touches the piece of silver, the first time his hand touches the silver, Ding Lianshan will definitely "meet the enemy like a fire" and attack him like a storm.
If Ding Lianshan had murderous intentions towards him, then the moment his hand touched the silver was the moment Su Yi died.
Cold sweat soaked Su Yi's back unknowingly, and Su Yi stood there with a solemn expression, motionless.
Ding Lianshan, on the other hand, smiled and held up the silver, motionless.
Even Gong Baosen, who was watching on the side, held his breath subconsciously, for fear that his breathing would disrupt the rhythm of the two of them.
The scene was extremely silent, and time and space seemed to be frozen in the present.
The firewood in the stove made a "beep, beep, beep" sound.
The snake soup in the pot is rolling happily.
I don't know how long it took, but big beads of sweat slowly dripped from Su Yi's forehead, but he still didn't dare to move or even wipe it.
His mind was still changing rapidly, thinking of ways to crack it.
In fact, such a test is unfair to Su Yi. He is not a traditional martial artist. He is really not good at such "fine work" as in martial arts.
In fact, such a test is not useful in actual combat, because things are changing rapidly in the arena. You have to be highly focused every minute and make various reactions according to the enemy's movements every second. You have no time to think.
Do you want this or that?
Therefore, Su Yi has never faced such a test or experienced such a "literary struggle".
For Su Yi, this question is a differential equation. As an excellent "accountant", this question is not suitable for his professional field, and it is obviously beyond the scope.
This was definitely the longest silence Su Yi had ever experienced in his life. He didn't know how long it had been. Five minutes? Ten minutes? Or twenty minutes?
The three people in the kitchen just stood there blankly, no one moved or said a word.
At this moment, Su Yi's body was soaked as if he had just been fished out of the river.
This is the first time Su Yi gets wet for a man.
At a certain moment, Ding Lianshan finally spoke.
He smiled and said: "Young man, I can't refuse this gift from the elders. This piece of silver is... eh?"
Halfway through his words, his expression froze and his face was filled with astonishment.
Looking at the empty space between his thumb and index finger, Ding Lianshan fell into confusion.
What just happened?
Just when Ding Lianshan was mid-sentence, Su Yi moved!
Moving like thunder! Powerful like lightning!
He took action with lightning speed and snatched away the piece of silver from Ding Lianshan's hand, but Ding Lianshan didn't even react at all!
Su Yi held the silver in his hand, took a step back and bowed to Ding Lianshan, smiled and said, "Thank you, senior, for the gift."
When people open their mouths, they become discouraged, and when they become discouraged, they become distracted.
Su Yi took advantage of Ding Lianshan's distraction and quickly took away the money.
There was no skill in his shot, nor did it contain any subsequent changes. He even did not consider any defensive issues or the design of his follow-up moves when he shot.
Just one word - quick!
Extremely fast!
Crisp, neat and simple!
For Ding Lianshan, this test of Su Yi was undoubtedly a trick, even a scam.
Gu Ju took action because Su Yi took advantage of him to speak, which was equivalent to a sneak attack.
This young man has no martial ethics...
But for Su Yi, it was Ding Lianshan who couldn't keep his temper.
If Ding Lianshan never leaked the flaw and kept silent, then the one who is anxious must be Su Yi who is eager to solve it.
"I'm getting old, but I was taught a lesson by a young man." Ding Lianshan looked a little complicated, "This man will suffer if he can't keep his temper. He won't be able to speak even if he doesn't get the heat."
"It's the junior who took advantage of the situation." Su Yi said calmly, "I can't break your game, I can only wait for you to show your flaws."
"This is also a way to break the situation, and it is a very smart way." Ding Lianshan said to Su Yi, "Only smart people can practice martial arts well. Boy, do you think you are a smart person?"
"I am a diligent person," Su Yi said, "Diligence can make up for weakness."
Ding Lianshan smiled: "You kid, you are a slippery boy."
When the word "slip" came up, Ding Lianshan suddenly took action and stabbed Su Yi in the throat with a lightning-like palm!
This move is extremely cunning and abrupt, and is the "Old Cow Licks the Calf" move in the Bagua Niu Tongue Palm.
Fortunately, Su Yi's nerves were not completely relaxed. Almost immediately, Ding Lianshan made a move and suddenly dived down and punched Ding Lianshan with a right uppercut, severely hitting Ding Lianshan's left rib.
Before the move came, Ding Lianshan had already changed his move. The old cow licking the calf turned into relying on a horse to ask for directions. With a single move of his palm, he pushed aside Su Yi's attack. While making progress, he struck hard with his right shoulder. Hitting Su Yi's nose.
Su Yi bent his arms in front of his face, and the next moment Ding Lianshan hit him violently. Su Yi took a step back sideways due to the force, but raised his elbow to attack Ding Lianshan's chin.
Ding Lianshan reacted very quickly and leaned back violently, but Su Yi gained the upper hand and was unyielding. Under the cover of his right arm, his left arm silently penetrated Ding Lianshan's arms and slanted up.
Ding Lianshan fell back again, a movement similar to that of lowering his waist. At this moment, a cold light suddenly popped out of his sleeve, and he moved upward.
Su Yi was startled and jumped away in a hurry. He heard a "chi" sound and his clothes were cut open!
If it were even half a minute slower, Su Yi would lose!
He took action out of nowhere, and now he draws out his weapon out of nowhere?
Even if you are a senior, is it too much?
Su Yi was angry from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to ask for more information, but Ding Lianshan didn't give him a chance to speak. He stepped forward and attacked Su Yi twice, forcing Su Yi to retreat continuously, and finally retreated to the base of the wall. There is no way back.
brush!
The next moment, the slender cold light in Ding Lianshan's hand stabbed Su Yi fiercely in the head.
when!
At the critical moment, Su Yi drew out the butterfly swords from his lower back, and the blades intertwined to block the blow.
The sharp blade was very close at hand. Although it was still a few inches away, the slightly trembling cold light was already causing Su Yi's eyebrows to sting like needles!
He wants to kill someone?
Su Yi was shocked and angry, and now he was not polite anymore. He stepped on the two-pointed pliers and the horse, and the two swords instantly turned into backhand holding knives. The knife in his left hand blocked Ding Lianshan, and the knife in his right hand fiercely wiped Ding Lianshan's neck.
Ding Lianshan took half a step back, but Su Yi was unyielding. As he advanced and pressed forward, he stabbed Ding Lianshan's chest three times with his left hand knife.
Dang Dang Dang!
Ding Lianshan flicked his sleeves like water and defused Su Yi's attack in an understatement. He suddenly jumped out of the circle, laughed and waved his hands: "No fight, no fight! If we fight again, it will become true, there is no way to end it!"
"..." Su Yi resisted the pursuit, with murderous intent looming in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Ding Lianshan smiled and waved his hands: "It's not interesting, I just want to see your ability. Only in life and death can you see your true ability. Young man, just those two moves you just made, there is no one in this world who can beat you in swordsmanship. I
I only know three."
"Which four?" Su Yi asked subconsciously.
"One is me, and the other you should have met, Jiang Fuxing." Ding Lianshan said with a smile, "There is also a Zhepeng named Zhongshan Bodao..."
At this point, he suddenly pulled open his collar, revealing a hideous and terrifying knife mark diagonally downwards on his left shoulder. The knife mark spread diagonally downward from his shoulder and was obscured by his clothes. It was unknown how long it was.
But just by looking at the degree to which the skin and flesh were rolled, one could tell that the cut must have penetrated deep into the bone. Ding Lianshan was not killed by this cut, so he had a narrow escape.
Su Yi felt awe-struck.
Ding Lianshan continued: "I met this man when I was young. At that time, I couldn't even catch his three moves. Later, I practiced my sword skills hard and felt that I was capable of fighting him, but I never saw him again.
Visited him."
With that said, Ding Lianshan put on his clothes and said with a smile: "One advantage of being old is that you can do things a little too much, and young people will forgive them out of respect for their elders. This is called relying on the old and selling the old, young man, what do you think?
"
Su Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly put away the knife and smiled and said, "Senior is right."
"Liangchen, please go and wait for me outside. Senior brother and I still have something to say." Gong Baosen suddenly said.
"Yes, Master Gong." Su Yi bowed to him, then turned around and left without looking back.
The kitchen fell into silence. It was not until he heard the sound of the door closing outside that Gong Baosen looked at Ding Lianshan: "Is it him?"
"It's him." Ding Lianshan looked solemn.
Gong Baosen's heart sank.
The thing he least wanted to believe happened.
In the past six months, he had had nightmares about this scene several times, and this scene finally happened in reality.
"Alas..." Gong Baosen let out a long breath, with a look of pain and confusion in his eyes, "When San'er died tragically, I thought it was him for a while, but there was no evidence, and I also felt that he had no reason to do it."
"There were two stab wounds on San'er, one in the throat and one in the heart. Both of the stab wounds were aimed at killing San'er. It can be seen that the murderer did not want San'er to live at all when he took action."
"I studied San'er's wounds carefully and found out that this person had a very small characteristic of the knife, that is, the two fatal wounds. When the knife edge entered the body, it always tilted slightly upward at a very small angle, but once the knife struck
Cut the flesh and the knife will quickly stand upright."
"This method of exerting force is not about exerting force with full force, but using the force of the wrist. But it cuts like a butcher's ding, with the power of breaking bamboo, very smoothly, and it definitely does not look like the work of a barbarian who does not know how to exert force."
"Young Grandmaster..." Gong Baosen laughed at himself, "After discovering this, I have actually identified that the murderer of San'er is Geng Liangchen. But I still can't figure it out. That is Geng Liangchen and San'er.
We were strangers before that, why would he kill San'er? It doesn't make sense..."
"It would be reasonable to say that this child is a treacherous villain who is not what he looks like. But this child is not. He kills Japanese and traitors. He would rather get less money for himself than give more cents to Jinmen's more than 70,000 yuan.
, benefiting thousands of families. He is also broad-minded and has mountains and rivers in his belly. At a young age, he wants to revitalize national martial arts..."
"Even if you praise him to the sky, you can't stop me from avenging San'er!" Ding Lianshan suddenly interrupted Gong Baosen.
"This is my nephew." Ding Lianshan said calmly, "I have always regarded him as my biological son."
