Chapter 5 Famous Martial Artists of the Tang Dynasty
Yang Yi didn't expect that he had said goodbye to Yuan Tiangang again, and he met the "No. 1 Master of Martial Arts in the Tang Dynasty". Yang Yi originally thought that he had no fate with such a person who had no chance to see the head and the tail of the dragon.
It has been almost twenty years since he followed Yuan Tiangang out of Mount Zhongnan. Sometimes Yang Yi would forget what he wanted to do when he came out of the mountain. He thought he was a Chang'an native, just like everyone else.
In the first two years, he followed Yuan Tiangang and then followed Cheng Zhijie. Yuan Tiangang went to Shu County. However, he has also returned to Chang'an to see Yang Yi several times over the years, and Yang Yi is very satisfied with this.
I feel that Lao Yuan has not forgotten him.
The Tang Dynasty was martial, and the world was not as peaceful as it was. Everyone knew that it was necessary to know some martial arts and self-defense, but this thing must be taught by someone who knows how to do it.
Martial arts are divided into horses and horses. Of course, it is best to learn both, but it is poor, wealthy and martial arts. Yang Yi is a poor man, so he doesn't need to learn horses. He only bought a horse spear with a pulverized wooden pole for ten years without eating or drinking.
No, and horse spear is a battlefield martial art. Yang Yi doesn't want to go to the battlefield because he is afraid of death.
Yang Yi wanted to learn how to play sword, and followed Yuan Tiangang to learn how to play sword, so he could defend himself after learning how to play sword.
The horse is the king, and the horse is the sword. Yang Yi knew that when Cheng Zhijie was young, he was a master of horse spear, as well as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, they were all martial arts masters riding on horses.
But Yuan Tiangang told Yang Yi that they were all very powerful, but when it comes to dancing spears on horseback, Li Jing was the number one in the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Yi asked: "Don't everyone say that Yuwen Chengdu is the most powerful?"
Yuan Tiangang was angry: "Tang Dynasty! Make the key points, Tang Dynasty! Yuwen Cheng is all from the Sui Dynasty."
"Everyone knows that I am a fool who can't tell the difference between history. Why are you anxious, Lao Yuan?"
Yuan Tiangang: “…”
Yuan Tiangang knew martial arts, and he was not ordinary. He was a master of swordsmanship. During the two years he had been wandering in Chang'an City, Yang Yi had seen Yuan Tiangang compete with many martial arts masters with his own eyes, but Old Yuan won all of them.
So Yang Yi followed Yuan Tiangang to learn martial arts and practice swords. However, Yang Yi was not a fool, but a fool, and he couldn't learn no matter how he taught him.
After learning a "front-front sword" for a month, Yuan Tiangang collapsed directly on the spot and almost ruined his Taoist practice.
Hanging a sword in front is the most basic move in the introductory chapter of the primary swordsmanship, similar to horse stance. Generally, a six-year-old boy from a farmer learns it after taking a piece of bamboo and having half a cup of tea.
Yuan Tiangang said angrily: "Yang Yi, in the future, you can eat whatever you want, and play whatever you want, and don't practice swordsmanship."
"Old Yuan, I feel like you are disgusting me, but I have no evidence."
Yuan Tiangang is a good person, and he did not dislike Yang Yi. Old Yuan said to Yang Yi: "I will teach you a move in the next five days, and then don't practice in front of me. Remember, you must avoid me when practicing.
, Every move of five days depends on your luck."
So he left him with Cheng Zhijie more than ten years ago, and Yuan Tiangang went to Shu County by himself. Yang Yi always suspected that he still despised him in the end.
Yang Yi is stupid, but his memory is still acceptable. He wrote down 70% to 80% of the sword tricks taught by Yuan Tiangang, but maybe only 30% to 40%, and Yang Yi can't settle the score.
Yang Yi has been having a happy life with Cheng Zhijie for the years he has been living a lot of fun. He has made some "small" contributions in the process of Cheng's invention of football and is very content.
This kind of happiness made him almost forget why he came to Chang'an City, making him think he was Yang Yi.
Old Cheng also told Yang Yi about his wife. Yang Yi is an honest man. He didn't think that Roji was a Hu dancer before, so he would have harmed himself. If he had been living in the mountains, let alone the dancer and singer, he would have been able to kill him in the end.
The ugly widow of three men burns the incense when she becomes a daughter-in-law.
So Yang Yi is very grateful to Lao Cheng, but it was Roji's death that made Yang Yi remember what he was going to do again.
Luo Ji died of illness, and she didn't even hang her life back half a bowl of ginseng medicine soup every day. Yang Yi put Luo Ji's ashes into a jar and buried them under the plum tree in the mountain.
The thatched hut in the mountains has collapsed, but the plum tree is still there. Sitting under the plum tree, Yang Yi felt that he was a bit like Rose.
Roji doesn't remember what her original name was, and so is Yang Yi. He is not sure that he must be called Yang Yi. This name first came from a book in the thatched house, with the words "Yang Yi" written on the cover.
So I thought this was his name, because the book should be his own at home.
Later, the book was stolen by Wugen from the Old Sun family. Yang Yi ran to ask for it. Wugen said that he would use firewood when cooking. Yang Yi asked him to compensate, but Wugen beat him up. Yang Yi said
Forget it, there is no need to pay, and then Wugen beat him up again.
But Roji never forgets Romankoshi Mountain before dying, which is her hometown. Yang Yi envies her very much because Roji knows where she comes from, and Yang Yi doesn't know.
Roji's death made Yang Yi feel the desire to search again, but he still didn't know how to find it.
A few months ago, Yuan Tiangang came to Chang'an again. Yang Yi asked him, and Old Yuan had no choice.
Yuan Tiangang was obviously hesitant, but he still asked Yang Yi: "How is your sword practicing?"
Yang Yi has not practiced swords for eight years. After the thin-backed short sword Yuan Tiangang gave him was rusted, he was picked up by the gardener of the Cheng family as a weeding shovel.
Yang Yi was an honest man who could not lie, so he blushed and said, "I'm so stupid. I'm embarrassing you as a master."
Yuan Tiangang is a very smart person. He rolled his eyes on Yang Yi and didn't bother with him.
"Master? I don't dare to be it."
"Old Yuan, are you dislike me?"
"No, Yang Yi, let's talk about it." Yuan Tiangang said: "How old are you this year?"
“Twenty nine.”
Yuan Tiangang was angry: "When I met you in the mountains twenty years ago, you said you were nine out of twenty years. It's almost twenty years later, and you are still nine out of twenty. Is your arithmetic taught by Cheng Zhijie?
?”
"Old Yuan, why are you anxious again..." Yang Yi quickly pulled his fingers, nineteen...twenty-nine...thirty-nine...thirty-nine...
"Yang Yi, you have been out of the mountain for twenty years. Who knows how many twenty years you have been in the mountain. I am sixty-one this year..."
"What? Old Yuan, are you so old?"
Yuan Tiangang was angry again: "Listen to me to finish my words!"
"I'm 61 this year, but I'm not sure I'm older than you..."
"Old Yuan, you're kidding, how could I..."
"Shut up!" Yuan Tiangang continued, "What if you are an old fairy who is one or two hundred years old? It is obviously inappropriate for me to be your master."
Yang Yi scratched his head, and he felt that Yuan Tiangang was saying something reasonable. "Old Yuan, what do you mean...I'll be your master?"
"Why?" Yuan Tiangang almost got angry again: "What can you teach me?"
"What do you think you should do?"
Yuan Tiangang said seriously: "Let's do this, we call each other brothers. I look older, I am the senior brother, you are the junior brother."
"Old Yuan... Senior Brother, you have a good idea, I can't imagine it." Yang Yi was truly impressed: "Hey, by the way, who is our master?"
Yuan Tiangang: “…”
Yang Yi was very happy that if you had a senior brother like Yuan Tiangang, someone who is a martial arts master, you should not bully him casually in the future.
"Senior brother, I heard from Cheng Zhijie that you are the number one master of swordsmanship in the Tang Dynasty. Is it true?"
"It's hard to say." Old Yuan's answer was beyond Yang Yi's expectations. "There is someone who is likely to be better than me."
"Ah? Who? Is Li Xuanba?"
Yuan Tiangang resisted the urge to beat the idiot junior brother: "...No, his name is Zhang Zhongjian."
After saying that, Yuan Tiangang set off and went back to Shu County. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Yang Yi to visit him three years later.
