In a small town by the river, Tieniu, who had just had dinner, was squatting on horseback in his small courtyard, practicing the Fuhu Fist meticulously.
Tieniu has dreamed of becoming a martial artist since he was a child. Unfortunately, his family's financial situation was not good and he had no spare money for Tieniu to learn martial arts. Tieniu secretly learned Fuhu Fist from a military attache in the small town.
Tieniu has been practicing Fuhuquan for ten years, but he has not even touched the threshold of the first level of martial arts. Fortunately, he has gained a lot of strength and has become the number one speedboat in Xunyang River, which can be regarded as solving the major problem of food and clothing at home.
For more than two months, Li Taiping would sit on the bed after dinner every day, watching Tieniu boxing with relish.
"Brother Tieniu, haven't you given up on traveling around the world? Why do you still practice boxing every day?"
Li Taiping has been holding back the matter of Tieniu's boxing practice for a long time, and today he finally couldn't help but ask about it.
I saw that Tieniu smiled naively and said: "Everyone has to have some dreams, right? Although Tieniu doesn't know much about principles and can't read a basket of big words, Tieniu knows that if you have a dream, you have to persist and persevere. How about not dreaming?
It’s no longer a delusion!”
Li Taiping smiled and said: "But persistence may not necessarily lead to success! How many people in the world can realize their dreams and achieve what they want! Brother Tieniu, does it make sense for you to persist so much?"
Tieniu withdrew his fist and thought for a long time before saying: "I don't know what the meaning is. I just feel that I have to have hope and live a decent life, just like I am running a boat on the Xunyang River. I have to be on the Xunyang River.
The fastest boat will do it!"
In order to consolidate his cultivation as a master, Li Taiping has been staying at Tieniu's house for the past two months. When he had nothing to do, he observed Tieniu. He found that Tieniu had a lot of strength and tenacity, and he did things like he was punting a boat.
, it has to be done with one pole to the end.
In fact, people like Tieniu will definitely not be able to read and write. However, if they practice martial arts, they really have a chance to get ahead, but it is a pity that they do not have the guidance of a famous teacher. Tieniu has missed the best age to learn martial arts. Even a man in his twenties, even if Li Taiping is willing
I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the threshold of a master until the end of my life.
Li Taiping asked Tieniu today why he wanted to practice boxing, and he actually made a decision to help this simple and dull man. Even if Tieniu doesn't achieve anything famous in the end, the process of practicing martial arts can make Tieniu happy, right?
.
Li Taiping came to the yard with a smile and looked at Tieniu and said: "Actually, you are quite suitable for practicing external Kung Fu. It's a pity that you have missed the age of physical training. If you continue to practice external Kung Fu, it will not be worth the gain! It is better to practice internal Kung Fu and rely on water to sharpen your Kung Fu."
Maybe you can even touch the eighth or ninth grade!"
Tieniu is honest and honest, but he is not stupid. Hearing what Li Taiping said, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Taiping is going to teach me kung fu? Taiping, wait a minute..."
Li Taiping saw that Tieniu had finished speaking and turned around and ran into the house. He couldn't help but grabbed Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, what are you going to do?"
Tieniu turned around and said with a naive smile: "I see that the master military attache in the town accepts apprentices, and all the apprentices have to offer tea and kowtow! There happens to be some tea at home, so I will make tea right away. Taiping, please wait a moment!"
Li Taiping smiled: "Brother Tieniu, we are friends of the same generation. I am just teaching you some skills. There is no need to kowtow and serve tea!"
Tieniu was stunned and said, "No need? But Tieniu has no money!"
"It doesn't matter. I don't have any ideas here. As long as Brother Tieniu wants to learn, it can be done!" Li Taiping said with a wry smile.
Li Taiping had been acquainted with Tie Niu for a long time, and taught Tie Niu martial arts and weapons. At this time, he helped Tie Niu learn the most basic acupoints and pulses...
Li Taiping has learned many martial arts and weapons, and it can be said that he has dabbled in eighteen types of weapons. At that time, Li Taiping admired the old Taoist priest from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the old Taoist priest seemed to know everything and could do anything. He was the only one who could not think of it.
, there is no old Taoist priest who can't do it. Now it seems that apart from swordsmanship, the other things of the old Taoist priest are mediocre and cannot be put on the stage.
Now Li Taiping is just like the old Taoist priest back then. A set of "White Ape's Thirteen Swords" was replaced by a sword by Li Taiping. He was like a tiger and a tiger, and his sword was so powerful that he looked at Tieniu as a mere sword.
Stunned for a moment.
Li Taiping put away his sword, looked at Tieniu with wide-eyed eyes and said: "Your arms are longer than your knees and you are strong and powerful. This set of White Ape Thirteen Swordsmen is very suitable for you. If you are willing to practice hard, you will become a master in the future."
It’s not impossible!”
Tieniu is a man who can endure hardships. Ever since Li Taiping taught him his qi training method and the White Ape Sword Technique, he has been running boats during the day. During the rest of the time, apart from eating and sleeping, he has been practicing hard and not daring to relax for a moment. Tieniu
Knowing that Li Taiping was not an ordinary person and that he would leave the town and Xunyang River sooner or later, he wanted to thoroughly understand the sword skills before Li Taiping left...
In a blink of an eye, spring is coming and flowers are blooming. Tieniu's sword skills are getting better and better day by day. However, his internal strength is still weak and he still cannot exert the power of the White Ape's Thirteen Swords. However, he can be regarded as a martial artist who has entered the martial arts level.
During this period, Nangong Yu and Boss Du often came to Li Taiping for drinks. The three of them got along well. Sometimes when they got interested, Nangong Yu would point out Tieniu's sword skills and perform two moves.
On this day, Li Taiping went to Xunyang County because he had ordered a Tiangang knife for Tieniu a few days ago. The most famous blacksmith in Xunyang County is in the county, that is, the Zheng family at the north gate of Xunyang County
Blacksmith shop.
The Zheng family's blacksmith shop occupies an area of one acre and is considered a large one. There are all kinds of pots, pans, shovels and spoons in the shop. The first floor of the shop is mostly used by ordinary people, but it is completely different when you go to the second floor.
They are all sharp objects, and there is even a half-length armor hanging in the middle of the hall on the second floor.
According to the old man of the Zheng family, if you want to make a fortune, you have to make weapons and armor. If you sell one of those things, you will make a lot of money.
Li Taiping spent a lot of money to make a knife for Tieniu. He reluctantly pawned the bead Cui Mingdao gave him in exchange for the money for the knife.
The White Ape Sword is very special. Over the years that Li Taiping has traveled around the world, he has seen many swordsmen, but he has never seen a White Ape Sword. If the old Taoist priest had not drawn a pattern for Li Taiping, Li Taiping would not have known how long the White Ape Sword was.
What? This White Ape Sword is a long sword specially used by the White Ape Thirteen Swordsmen.
The White Ape Sword is longer than an ordinary horizontal sword. The front end of the back of the blade has an eight-inch blade. After chopping, the sword can be lifted directly to shorten the path of the knife, which greatly increases the speed of the knife. With a long knife and a long arm, this White Ape Thirteen Swordsman
Only the power can be fully displayed.
With a handy weapon, Ti Niu can travel around the world with more money to save his life. This is all Li Taiping can do, so he is willing to spend this money.
Li Taiping was dressed in green clothes, especially the red sandalwood sword box behind him, which was very eye-catching and unforgettable. As soon as Li Taiping walked into the shop, the waiter in the shop recognized Li Taiping. I saw the waiter hurriedly put on a smiling face
He came up to him, nodded and bowed with a smile: "Young Master is here to get the sword, right?"
Li Taiping nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly."
The waiter hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry, Master. Master, I feel the cold. This sword hasn't been formed yet. Please give me two days' grace! The boss said that if you are in a hurry, you can go to the second floor to choose weapons at will. There is no need to pay for the price difference."
Got it!"
Li Taiping frowned, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and said: "Then wait for two days, I'm not in a hurry to use it anyway!"
Li Taiping turned around and was about to leave the shop when he bumped into a strong old man smelling of alcohol, and his frown deepened.
"Brother, didn't you say that the master is sick? How come you can still drink alcohol when you have a cold?"
Li Taiping looked back at the waiter and said coldly.
I saw sweat on the head of the waiter. He hesitated for a long time before replying: "Um - um, master, didn't you just get sick yesterday? Let's drink some wine to go away the cold today!"
Any fool can tell that the waiter didn't mean what he said. Li Taiping grabbed the waiter, stared into his eyes and said, "When did you get sick? Did the doctor show you? What medicine did you use?"
After all, Li Taiping had been a head catcher for several days, and these questionings left the waiter speechless.
I don't know whether Li Taiping pressed too hard or his men lost their sense of control. I saw that the waiter's face turned the color of pig liver, and he was about to roll his eyes when he heard a hoarse voice coming from behind him.
"Master, please don't make things difficult for him. His boss taught him these words!"
The old man from the Zheng family was good at blacksmithing, but he was a little drunk, and two bowls of turbid wine got on his face. As soon as he walked in, he saw the young man who had been setting the knife a few days ago, and he secretly screamed "No!"
Li Taiping threw the boy in the corner, turned around and looked at the master coldly: "When I gave you the drawings, I agreed to pick up the knife today. I am neither short of your silver nor picked up the knife in advance, so you can tell me
Said, where is my knife?"
Two bowls of turbid wine, even if you can't drink it, you won't lose consciousness after drinking it. I saw the master looking around in front of the shop. When he saw that there was no one there, he hurriedly entered the shop, pulled Li Taiping and walked to the backyard.
As he walked, he said, "Master, please come in and let me tell you in detail!".
There are two big surnames in Xunyang County, one is Wen, and the other is Guan. Especially the Guan family is a dominant family in Xunyang County, and even the county governor has to give him some respect. All because,
Mr. Guan's uncle is Zheng Tianqi, the governor of Xunyang County.
The Guan family is a well-known surname in Xunyang County. They are considered to be the local gangsters in Xunyang County. With an uncle who holds military power, the Guan family will be even more lawless. In Xunyang County, that is really true. No matter who meets the Guan family
Everyone has to be polite.
No, it's the sixtieth birthday of the old man of the Guan family. The Guan family invites people from all over the world, even the county governor.
In the nice spring weather, the Guan family held a banquet in the courtyard. Because there were too many people coming to celebrate birthdays, they divided the banquet into two courtyards to entertain guests. The banquet in the front courtyard was no less than a hundred tables, and the banquet in the back courtyard was
Also set up seven or eight tables.
It was already getting late, and all the neighbors and friends who were due to come had arrived. The county governor and a group of county officials also prepared generous gifts and came to the back courtyard.
The place was full of people and friends, and it was a lively scene. Just when the Guan family was holding a banquet to entertain guests from all over, a young gentleman in blue shirt carrying a sword box came to the front gate of Guan Mansion with a cold face...
