Gong Baosen's arrival was like a red-hot poker being thrown into the cold lake water, which immediately caused a shock in the Jinmen Wulin.
There is an endless stream of martial arts people coming and going, especially some boxers from the Bagua Sect.
However, when Gong Baosen sat on the Taishi chair and proposed with Li Cunyi to merge the two sects of "Xingyi and Bagua" into one, the scene immediately became a mess.
"Junior Brother Gong, are you kidding?"
"Senior Brother Li, this is no joke!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone stared at Gong Baosen and Li Cunyi in disbelief.
Li Cunyi and Gong Baosen looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "This matter is so important, how can we joke about it."
An old man immediately stood up, patted the table and said: "Senior Brother Li, you also know that the matter is very important. The Xingyi Sect and the Bagua Sect belong to different families. Just by your words, the sects will be merged."
"I just want to ask, in the future, the disciples and grandsons we accept will worship Yue Fei as their ancestor, or will they worship Dong Haichuan as their ancestor?"
After hearing what he said, all the boxers present also agreed.
"That's right, we didn't come from the same family, so what's the point of merging?"
"Isn't that right? If we merge in the future, will our Bagua sect listen to the Xingyi sect, or will the Xingyi sect listen to our Bagua sect?"
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and some hot-tempered people started to curse and even wanted to fight at one point.
Qin Hao looked at it and shook his head. Regarding the matter of internal fighting, there is a fine tradition in China for thousands of years. During the anti-Japanese period, a certain bald man even proposed that "in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first settle the domestic affairs." Only teachers like the teacher
Only such a great man has the ambition to unite all forces that can be united.
"Huh!" Gong Baosen snorted coldly and slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground. The teacup fragments scattered everywhere, and the scene gradually became quiet.
I saw Gong Baosen slowly stand up and cup his hands towards an old man sitting on the right side.
"Mr. Sun, I think you know the origin of the two sects of Xingyi and Bagua..."
The old man, who was nearly sixty years old and had short, lean hair, waved his hand at Gong Baosen.
"The old man is not a member of the Xingyi and Bagua sects, but he is also deeply favored by the seniors of the Xingyi and Bagua sects. He is here today to be a witness."
As he spoke, the old man slowly stood up and looked around.
The boxers around him lowered their eyes and did not look at him. This was not fear, but respect. It could be seen that the old man's identity was unusual.
Seeing Qin Hao looking at the old man with confusion, Xue Dian explained in a low voice: "This is the master of Tai Chi, Xing Yi, and Ba Gua, the three great inner martial arts masters, Hutou Shaobao Sun Lutang!"
"Is it him?" Qin Hao was secretly shocked.
This is another recognized Tai Chi master after "Yang Wudi" and is known as "the best in the world".
"It's a pity that we can't live in the same era as him." Qin Hao sighed secretly.
After all, no matter how strong a warrior is, they cannot escape from birth, old age, illness and death. Even Sun Lutang, who had an undefeated record back then, is now sixty years old and cannot maintain his peak combat effectiveness.
At this moment, Qin Hao could suddenly understand why those boxing masters would eventually incorporate many Taoist theories into their own boxing skills.
Just like many scientists, after studying science all their lives, they studied theology in their later years.
When people touch the insurmountable dome above their heads, they will inevitably seek spiritual comfort from those mythical legends.
After Sun Lutang looked around at everyone, he spoke calmly.
"In my early years, I learned Xingyi Quan under the tutelage of Mr. Li Kuiyuan. Later, Mr. Li thought highly of me and introduced me to Master Guo Yunshen. In terms of seniority, I wanted to call Li Cunyi my senior brother. Later, Mr. Cheng Tinghua asked me not to do it.
Give up and teach me the essence of Baguazhang."
As he spoke, Sun Lutang spoke word by word.
"I would like to ask everyone here, who is not the head of both the body and mind, and the head of the Bagua family?"
As soon as these words came out, all the boxers present lowered their heads.
Those who can sit here are the most senior and most skilled people in Xingyi and Bagua sects.
It is said that traditional martial arts schools hide their opinions and refuse to teach others.
But this point is almost invisible in the two sects of Xingyi and Bagua. As long as you have mastered one of the kung fu, and then ask for advice from the seniors of the other sect, you will basically get it.
This is due to the good relationship between many seniors of the two sects, and it is also the result of the open-mindedness of senior martial arts veterans such as Guo Yunshen and Cheng Tinghua, who opened the door for future generations.
A trace of emotion flashed in Li Cunyi's eyes. Sun Lutang's words reminded him of the scene when he was studying art.
"That's true, but the merger of these two sects is not a trivial matter. Isn't this too hasty?"
"Yes, I think we should take a long-term approach and not be rash."
Qin Hao shook his head. Any long-term plan was clearly a delaying strategy.
Power is the most difficult thing to give up in the world. Even a small figure with a certain influence in a sect will still fight to the death in order to preserve his pitiful rights, let alone the supreme throne. Perhaps, this is politics
The reason why it is ugly.
Gong Baosen and Li Cunyi looked at each other, unable to hide the disappointment in their eyes, but they also knew very well that it would be impossible to settle such a big matter in a short time.
The purpose of gathering these people together today is just to let everyone know, and also to let the disciples of Xingyi and Bagua sects know that this is happening.
As for conflicts, they are definitely unavoidable, but it is better to let conflicts break out before the merger than to wait until after the merger to plant a time bomb that can explode at any time.
Soon, those boxers with their own agendas left one after another, and those who stayed behind were basically supporters of Li Cunyi and Gong Baosen.
"Brother Sun, you have worked really hard today." Li Cunyi held Sun Lutang's hand and said gratefully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Lutang laughed: "Senior Brother Li, you treat me as an outsider."
Gong Baosen also stepped forward and rushed to Sun Lutang, clasping his fists and handing over his hands: "Mr. Sun can support the situation for me, a junior, with the dignity of a leader. I am really grateful."
"What you want to do is right. Since it is right, then go ahead and do it. At a time when the country is weak, it is even more important for us people to unite!" Sun Lutang said with emotion.
After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Li Cunyi introduced Xue Dian and Qin Hao to Sun Lutang. It was obvious that Sun Lutang knew Xue Dian and just patted him on the shoulder, and then turned his attention to Qin Hao.
"This is the first time I've met you, a closed disciple. Unfortunately, I came in a hurry today and didn't bring a meeting gift." Sun Lutang looked at Qin Hao for a while and said with a smile.
Li Cunyi rolled his eyes: "It would be great if Brother Sun could teach him one or two unique skills of Tai Chi."
Sun Lutang was stunned, and then his eyes towards Qin Hao became sharp.
"It seems that you care about this disciple very much."
Li Cunyi laughed. If it were Xue Dian, he might be more modest, but for Qin Hao, modesty? It doesn't exist. He can no longer describe this kid's martial arts talent in words.
Sun Lutang was even more surprised when he saw this, and said to Qin Hao: "Come with me."
Ma San was very jealous when he saw it, but he could only stand there and watch Xue Dian close the door.
Gong Baosen knocked Ma San on the forehead and scolded with a smile: "When can you master Xingyiquan and master it? It won't be too late to learn other things."
"oh."
Sun Lutang brought Qin Hao to the courtyard, then stood with his hands behind his back and said solemnly.
"Your master and Gong Baosen are there for Xingyiquan and Baguazhang, so there's no need for me to bother you here. I'll just teach you the essence of a few Tai Chi moves."
"The Tai Chi I learned is the martial style of Tai Chi, which was taught by the famous Tai Chi master Hao Weizhen. I have practiced martial arts for more than 40 years. Two years ago, I had an idea and took the strengths of hundreds of schools and created my own Sun Style Tai Chi.
.”
"Let's keep an eye on it!"
While talking, Sun Lutang had already opened his fists.
"The head should be lifted up, but do not use force. The chin should be naturally restrained, the head should be upright, and the spirit should be focused. The whole body should be loosened. Push, push, stretch, and shrink all with intention, not with clumsy strength. The mind will be empty. This is the so-called empty spirit.
Bravo..."
After explaining the essentials of exerting force, Sun Lutang began to practice Tai Chi moves again.
“Lazy to tie clothes”
"Progress is blocked and beaten"
"As closed as if closed"
"Hold the tiger and push the mountain"
Even at the age of sixty, Sun Lutang's punching movements were still vigorous. Qin Hao couldn't help but feel more and more regretful that he could not see the old gentleman's youthful demeanor.
After Sun Lutang taught it once, he asked Qin Hao to walk with him, preparing to correct some of his mistakes during the practice.
However, when he started practicing, Sun Lutang was a little dumbfounded.
Qin Hao's grasp of how to exert force in Tai Chi was not at all what a beginner should be, and he couldn't help but look inside the room.
"Have you ever learned Tai Chi before?"
Qin Hao shook his head.
Sun Lutang frowned slightly, but did not question it. He continued to observe Qin Hao's movements. Except that he was a little unfamiliar with the connection of moves, there was nothing to criticize in other aspects.
"You practice it two more times and I'll see."
Seeing that Qin Hao had memorized the moves very well, Sun Lutang stopped and observed carefully.
As a result, the more he watched, the more frightened he became. He discovered that from the third time onwards, Qin Hao had not only completely mastered the Tai Chi moves and force exertion methods, but also the unfamiliarity he felt during the previous connection was gone.
Anyone who practices Tai Chi will think that this is a Tai Chi master who has been immersed in this art for many years.
That was all. On the fourth pass, Sun Lutang was shocked to find that Qin Hao was actually changing the way Tai Chi exerts force. There were shadows of Xingyi Quan, the artistic conception of Baguazhang, and some less familiar methods of exerting force.
The technique seems to be something from foreign fighting techniques.
If some stubborn boxers saw this, they would probably become furious immediately, thinking that Qin Hao was messing around and wasting his ancestor's things.
But Sun Lutang didn't think so. He was a master of the three major internal martial arts and mastered Sun's Tai Chi. He could clearly feel that after Qin Hao's improvement, his Tai Chi was more powerful.
, obviously on a higher level.
"You, this is..."
After Qin Hao finished practicing for the fifth time, Sun Lutang asked Qin Hao to stop. He really had too many things to ask.
When the noise outside was heard inside the house, Li Cunyi opened the door and walked out.
"How about it, Brother Sun, am I okay as an apprentice?"
Sun Lutang hesitated for a moment: "Is it true that your apprentice has never practiced Tai Chi before?"
"Absolutely true!"
After receiving a positive reply, Sun Lutang smiled bitterly and said to Li Cunyi: "You deserve to be famous all over the world for taking on such a disciple!"
Li Cunyi shook his head when he heard this and sighed: "At this age, becoming famous all over the world is not what I want. I just don't want to bury his great talent."
"You have good intentions." Sun Lutang sighed secretly. He knew that Li Cunyi's biggest regret in his life was not having a child, so he was so kind to this closed disciple.
"It's not about good intentions, it's just that I didn't want to take this skill and ended up in the coffin." Li Cunyi waved his hand.
Sun Lutang was also startled after hearing this. After a little hesitation, he said to Qin Hao.
"There is another skill in Tai Chi that requires hard work. If you can bear the hardship, come to me at this time every day from now on."
Li Cunyi laughed and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder: "Boy, you are very lucky. Tai Chi Listening is a unique skill that is not passed down to others. I still have to thank Master Sun."
Qin Hao heard this and was about to bow down, but Sun Lutang held him back.
"I can't afford to be called a master, but I don't want this unique skill to be taken into a coffin."
"Besides, it's unclear whether you can learn this skill."
Qin Hao smiled. With the existence of Alpha Dog, what else could he not learn?
After sending Sun Lutang away, Li Cunyi told Qin Hao: "This Tai Chi Ting Jin is the most profound and common skill in Tai Chi. You must study it with your heart. Don't be arrogant just because of some cleverness."
"Yes, Master."
After the group had lunch, Gong Baosen looked at the wall outside the yard and said to Li Cunyi worriedly.
"I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night tonight!"
A trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Cunyi's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "I really thought I was too old to hold a knife. If they dare to come, let them taste the power of my Xingyi Five Elements Sword!"
When Qin Hao heard this, he felt a surge of murderous intent in his heart.
It's night and dark clouds cover the sky.
When the moon is dark and the wind is high in the sky, people are killing people and setting fires.
A group of killers wearing black night clothes took advantage of the darkness and quietly reached under the wall of Li's residence.
The leader made a gesture, and the man in black climbed up the wall with strong hands.
He quietly entered the courtyard.
"Leave no one alive! Shoot to death!"
"clear."
The men in black were divided into groups of twos and threes and moved towards each room. Their division of labor was clear, and they were all obviously experts in murdering and stealing goods.
A group of three people plus the leader had just arrived outside Gong Baosen's house when they heard a sudden sound of bells. The leader then discovered that there was a string of bells tied to the door bolt inside, and couldn't help but secretly curse the old fox.
There was a cold snort from the door, and then the door was broken open by a huge force. The man in black who was just trying to pry the door bolt was thrown several meters away with the door, and rolled several times on the ground before landing.
