The master mentioned by Wang Gang is named Lu Quanfa. It is said that he is 83 years old and Wang Gang's Bajiquan was passed down from him.
Three years ago, not long after Wang Gang recovered and returned to Sijiucheng, he met Lu Quanfa while exercising one morning and saw him doing a set of boxing techniques in the Summer Palace.
The 80-year-old man's punches were so powerful that Wang Gang was shocked. When he met a martial arts master, he would beg to become his disciple.
Lu Quanfa ignored Wang Gang at all and went home after the fight.
Later, Wang Gang visited the thatched cottage three times and asked Lu Quanfa to accept him as his disciple.
At first, Lu Quanfa refused to accept Wang Gang. Later, Wang Gang asked his neighbors and found out that Lu Quanfa was good at wine, so he brought two bottles of good wine with him every time he visited. It took him half a year before Lu Quanfa was willing to relent and reluctantly accepted him as a registered disciple.
However, he refused to let Wang Gang call him master.
Lu Quanfa studied under Chen Fugui, an eighth-level boxing master, and achieved great fame in his early years. However, due to the war, his leg was injured by a bullet, and most of his martial arts skills were disabled, so he stayed in Sijiucheng to retire.
Wang Gang has been with Lu Quanfa for a long time and knows some of his past events. He also knows a lot about the reasons why he refuses to accept disciples.
Lu Quanfa originally had an apprentice, but it seems that he was betrayed by his apprentice once, which resulted in the death of his family and the loss of most of his martial arts, so he was very taboo about accepting apprentices.
After Wang Gang became his registered disciple, Lu Quanfa did not really teach him his skills. He always taught Wang Gang two moves today and two moves tomorrow to practice, and only taught him twice when he was in a good mood.
Bajiquan is a martial art with strong practical ability. It has always been said that Tai Chi can stabilize the world, and Baji can determine the universe.
This boxing method is divided into performance, practice and fighting methods.
The performance is just a fake show, performed for people to watch, and has no actual combat ability.
The training method is mainly a method of exercise and a way to strengthen the body. When combined with the boxing routine, it has one or two points of power.
Fighting style is the essence of Bajiquan, it is the actual combat skill, but Lu Quanfa did not teach Wang Gang a single move.
In the past, he could easily beat Zhao Zihao, the descendant of Baji, not because of his martial arts, but because of his physical fitness.
Because of his golden fingers, Wang Gang's physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, and his strength is twice that of ordinary people. Even the most ordinary boxing techniques in his hands can still exert one or two points of power.
Lu Quanfa once said that Wang Gang's physical fitness was a natural for boxing.
Although Zhao Zihao has better kung fu than Wang Gang, unfortunately he is not half as strong as Wang Gang, so he will naturally suffer in a fight.
One heavyweight and one featherweight, how to compare?
In fact, it is not to blame that Zhao Zihao is weak, it is really a problem of the times. The three-year disaster has not long passed, and everyone has no food and water in their stomachs. It is a problem to eat enough, so where does the strength come from?
Zhao Zihao's living conditions are probably not good and he doesn't look like he has a serious job, otherwise he wouldn't be involved in the pigeon market.
Wang Gang came to Lu Quanfa because he actually wanted to tell him about Zhao Zihao.
But when Lu Quanfa heard about Zhao Zihao, the successor of Baji, he just snorted coldly.
"Unscrupulous disciple, he dares to make a living by robbing. Fortunately, he still remembers the rules of my Baji Sect."
"Master, do you know this Zhao Zihao?" Wang Gang asked.
"How could I know such an unscrupulous disciple?" Lu Quanfa said disdainfully: "It's his master Niu Yunfei. We have a relationship."
Wang Gang asked: "Master, which one is better, your martial arts or Niu Yunfei's?"
Lu Quanfa said: "When I met Niu Yunfei, he had just mastered the secret power of his hands. I was one level higher than him."
The realm of boxing is divided into three levels: Ming Jin, Dark Jin, and Hua Jing.
Wang Gang couldn't even touch Ming Jin's side now.
In Lu Quanfa's words, the force he is exerting now is dead force. Only when he activates his whole body's strength can he exert bright energy. Only then can Bajiquan be considered a master and qualified to be his entry-level disciple.
"Master, when can I understand the power of darkness?" Wang Gang asked.
"I don't think it's possible for you to have access to dark power in your life." Lu Quanfa hit Wang Gang and said.
"Master, who would hit his apprentice like this?" Wang Gang said angrily.
"Huh huh! I told you, you are not considered my apprentice now. Why wait until you have mastered Ming Jin before you can call me master." Lu Quan said coldly.
Wang Gang heard this sentence more than 800 times and didn't care.
"Master, I haven't had dinner yet, do you have anything to eat at home?" Wang Gang asked.
"Go to the kitchen and find it yourself." Lu Quanfa hugged two bottles of Maotai, leaned on the recliner and closed his eyes.
Wang Gang had no choice but to find food by himself.
Lu Quanfa's home is an independent small courtyard house with five rooms, a living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and a large yard.
I heard that this house was Lu Quanfa's ancestral home, but Wang Gang was not sure why it was not taken away by the state.
Lu Quanfa had nothing to do every day, but his family was never short of money. He had wine and meat every day, and the furnishings in his home were also very exquisite. He was very much like the old wealthy landlords in the past, but no one came to trouble him.
Wang Gang had suspected Lu Quanfa's identity, not just that he was a descendant of Baji, but Lu Quanfa never said anything, and it was difficult for him to ask questions.
Although Lu Quanfa is very old, his body is still strong and he eats more than Wang Gang. There are a lot of steamed buns left in the kitchen, which is enough for Wang Gang to fill his stomach.
After eating and drinking, Wang just rested for a while and then started boxing in the courtyard.
Lu Quanfa in the room couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows and move his ears when he heard the sound of fists and wind.
"You brat, Baji pays attention to both movement and silence. Why are you punching so fast?"
Across the room, Lu Quanfa can guide Wang Gang just by his voice, which shows the depth of his skills.
Wang Gang saw that Lu Quanfa was in good spirits today, so he quickly told him about his doubts about boxing. Lu Quanfa gave him guidance one by one, which made him gain a lot, but he had not yet understood Ming Jin.
After practicing boxing for a while, Wang Gang saw that it was getting late, so he simply didn't go back to the courtyard and stayed at Lu Quanfa's house. Anyway, he had two empty bedrooms.
Lu Quanfa complained a few times, but did not drive Wang Gang out.
Wang Gang got up before dawn the next day, but he didn't go to exercise first. Instead, he bought two breakfasts and took them back to Lu Quan to make a fortune.
After Wang Gang bought breakfast, Lu Quanfa got up, washed up, and then did a set of boxing in the yard, which was exactly the same set Wang Gang had practiced yesterday.
Although Lu Quanfa never said it, he actually recognized Wang Gang as his disciple.
Wang Gang watched Lu Quanfa's boxing skills and was greatly inspired. His spiritual attributes were 9 points and he was already smarter than ordinary people. Practicing boxing also requires understanding.
Mental attributes include understanding, learning ability, willpower, etc.
Lu Quanfa's Bajiquan is very fierce and domineering, and he can bring out a boxing style that sounds like firecrackers during his movements. Wang Gang was attracted by this momentum in the first place, so he shamelessly wanted to become his disciple.
Maybe it was because Lu Quanfa was older, or maybe it was because of his leg injury. After a set of boxing techniques, he was already out of breath.
Wang Gang quickly stepped forward and handed him a towel and crutches.
"I'm old, I'm old, I can't even punch a single punch." Lu Quanfa sighed and took the towel, a large amount of sweat and heat emanating from the pores of his body.
"Master, please take a rest and have breakfast first." Wang Gang helped Lu Quanfa to the restaurant for dinner.
