In the backyard, heavy snow is falling, and a plum tree blooms proudly against the wind and snow in the quiet winter. The red petals blown off by the cold wind from time to time fall on the snow, like drops of blood dyeing the entire winter red, and like a field of flowers.
On the white rice paper, pen and ink fell.
Under the plum tree, Ma San made an inviting gesture to Qin Hao with a sullen face: "Junior brother, please!"
From Ma San's point of view, this is a meaningless competition. After all, he is also a leader among the younger generation. It is not easy to deal with such a teenage kid, if the master hadn't repeatedly told him to be merciful.
, he can knock this ignorant boy down with one punch. If he strikes first, this boy will have no chance to fight back.
At the same time, Ma San was also a little distressed, thinking about how he could fight this little brat for more than a dozen times without hurting his uncle's face.
Alas, the most annoying thing about this kind of fake beating is that it is meaningless at all.
Qin Hao secretly laughed. Sure enough, he was still looked down upon.
Get up in Baguazhang position, with your left foot in front and your right foot behind, forming a compass-like stance between your two feet. Step forward and cover your palms. The yin palm of your left hand is downward, and the yang palm of your right hand is upward.
"What a beautiful rack." Gong Baosen's eyes lit up and he praised softly.
All martial arts of all schools emphasize one stance, the so-called force rising from the ground. Even boxing, which is famous for its kicking skills, rarely has those high kicking movements, because the flaws are too big, and once someone is involved in a competition or gambling,
If you catch him, you will either die or be maimed.
Zhuang Kung Fu is the basis of all boxing skills. How well a person practices Kung Fu can be seen from his lower body. Sects such as Tai Chi and Xing Yi Quan, which are famous for their boxing skills, often require a long period of training to get started.
Only with the passage of time will other techniques be taught. If the foundation is not solid, the earth will shake.
"Senior brother, your apprentice is quite interesting." Gong Baosen said with great interest.
Li Cunyi smiled and said nothing, thinking, the interesting thing is yet to come.
He now wanted to see how his junior brother, who was famous for his Bagua Zhang, would react when he saw his apprentice's Bagua Zhang.
Ma San also has some eyesight, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Qin Hao's pile skills. This is not the foundation that a teenager should have.
"Okay, let me see how strong your Baguazhang is."
"Junior brother, come on!" Ma San shouted, and he also opened the three-body posture of Xingyiquan, preparing to meet Qin Hao's offensive.
Li Cunyi couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw Ma San's posture. It was rare for someone at Ma San's age to have such a foundation. If he hadn't accepted two extremely talented disciples, Xue Dian and Qin Hao, maybe he would have been able to do so.
I'm really a little jealous.
Although Gong Baosen didn't say anything, there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied with himself as a closed disciple.
Soon after, Qin Hao had already walked towards Ma San through the snow. His footsteps left arcs on the snow. It seemed slow, but in fact, he had already arrived in the blink of an eye.
Ma San approaches.
Ma San was shocked. He didn't expect the kid to be so fast. Before he could think about it, the kid had already circled around him.
Over the years, Ma San has often competed with younger masters who are older than him. He still has some combat experience. Although he was frightened, he did not panic. He moved sideways and forced his body over.
At this time, Qin Hao struck Ma San's ribs with the Qinglong Probing Claw, and a strong force roared in the wind and snow.
Ma San didn't have time to think too much, and almost subconsciously used a horizontal fist to swing his arm, trying to neutralize Qin Hao's move. At the same time, when he turned sideways, his left hand was already ready to attack. As long as Qin Hao's movements paused for a moment, he would
Follow up with a cannon punch to knock the opponent down.
Li Cunyi, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, smiled and said to Gong Baosen: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and my skills have improved. I'm afraid I will be able to stand alone in a few years."
Gong Baosen had a smile on his lips, but shook his head and said: "He's still far away. He dares to be so careless when facing an enemy in battle. He was robbed of the opportunity as soon as he came up. If he were to fight against an opponent of the same level, it would be very difficult.
Come back again."
Li Cunyi was overjoyed. According to his understanding of his apprentice, Ma San had already been defeated this time. There was absolutely no possibility of turning defeat into victory. Not to mention the disparity in strength, Xingyiquan was strong in its momentum. If it went straight to the center line, it would overwhelm him in terms of momentum.
The opponent then uses wave after wave of fierce attacks to break down the opponent's defensive will.
Generally speaking, Xingyiquan is more about offense than defense, but Baguazhang is just the opposite. It adopts guerrilla tactics and does not confront you head-on. The so-called Tai Chi rape and Bagua slippage are very difficult once you are led by Baguazhang.
Get rid of it again.
The situation in the yard was just as Li Cunyi expected. Ma San wanted to use counterattacks to neutralize the attack and at the same time waited for an opportunity to counterattack. Qin Hao didn't give him this chance at all.
, ducked to Ma San's side again.
A move of "thumping with the bottom of the elbow" directly hit Ma San's back.
Ma San felt that his eyes were blurred. Qin Hao had disappeared. Then a strong wind came from behind. He was frightened. Without thinking, he turned around and hit his elbows to try to resolve this killing move. In his opinion, Qin Hao was
After all, Hao was so much smaller than him, and his muscles and bones hadn't even grown yet, so he was definitely far behind him in terms of strength. As long as the opponent faced him and stagnated, he would be able to find an opportunity to turn the situation around.
However, the next second, a strong force came from where the elbows touched. Before Ma San could react, he fell a few steps away and hit the snow, forming a human-shaped pit.
Ma San lay on the ground in disbelief. Was he defeated? Defeated so helplessly?
Losing to an eleven year old?
Gong Baosen's expression also changed. He looked at Li Cunyi in surprise, but saw that the other person was taking it for granted and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Senior brother, you have already planned and set up a trap for me to get through."
Li Cunyi said with a smile: "You can't blame me for this. Who told you to look down on my apprentice?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gong Baosen was not angry at all, and exclaimed with admiration: "How on earth did you, a disciple... teach him, even if he was trained in his mother's womb?
You shouldn't have such power at such a young age, right?"
"Now you know why I want to accept such a closed disciple?" Li Cunyi said proudly, raising his chin.
However, Ma San jumped up from the snow and shouted through gritted teeth: "I was careless just now. It doesn't matter. Let's do it again."
Qin Hao shook his head slightly and ignored Ma San. He had only used less than 30% of his strength just now, otherwise the other party's arm would have been hanging while talking.
Ma San felt that Qin Hao was looking down on him, and became even more angry. He was about to step forward to take action, but was stopped by Gong Baosen.
"stop!"
"Master, I..." Ma San stopped aggrievedly and continued to argue.
Gong Baosen flicked his sleeves and hummed: "Huh, I usually feel that my skills are great. After hearing a few compliments from others, I feel arrogant and arrogant. Today I want to let you know what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
Ma San was still unconvinced. He rubbed his neck and said, "That's because he took advantage of me when I wasn't paying attention..."
"Stupid, you think you didn't give your best, so how do you know that others are giving their best? It doesn't matter if you lose. No one who practices martial arts dares to say that he is invincible. As long as a person can't see others being kind or clever, he has no room for others.
With such a quantity, it will be difficult for it to become a great tool in the future.”
"I'll punish you by standing in the snow for an hour, and then come back after you think about it!"
Li Cunyi was about to persuade him when he saw this, but Gong Baosen waved his hand: "Senior brother, you have also seen this child's temper. If he doesn't break this energy, he will suffer a lot in the future."
Hearing this, Li Cunyi also sighed and stopped persuading him. His apprentice was someone else's, and even his parents couldn't control him no matter how he taught him. He was no exception.
At this time, Qin Hao came under the eaves. Gong Baosen looked at Qin Hao again and said with emotion: "You can practice Baguazhang to this extent at a young age. What a terrifying future."
"Thank you, Uncle Master, for the compliment." Qin Hao bowed slightly.
Gong Baosen smiled at Li Cunyi: "It seems that my Gong family's sixty-four tricks can't be hidden."
Li Cunyi reached out and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder: "Why don't you thank your uncle for teaching me the skills?"
"It doesn't matter, we are all our own. Besides, I have no children. I can't bring this thing into the coffin in the future." Gong Baosen said sadly.
Li Cunyi's eyes were a little dim. At least his junior brother had a daughter. He...
Ma San stood motionless in the snow, but his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were always fixed on Qin Hao's back.
Returning to the house, Gong Baosen said to Qin Hao: "I don't have much time these days. How about I teach you the Gong family's sixty-four moves when I'm done with this period of work?"
"No hurry, no hurry, I am also a free man, so I will stay with you for a while." Li Cunyi said with a smile.
"That's great." Gong Baosen said in surprise.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman came over holding a little girl wrapped in a fox fur coat. At first Qin Hao thought she was Gong Baosen's wife, but it turned out to be the little girl's wet nurse.
The little girl, who was pink and tender and still unsteady on her feet, was held in Gong Baosen's arms. With a pair of big bright black eyes, she looked at Qin Hao and Li Cunyi curiously. Perhaps it was because Qin Hao was younger.
The little girl's eyes stayed on Qin Hao the most.
"Junior brother, you are so lucky. This girl has a lot of aura in her eyes. She will definitely be a smart child in the future." Li Cunyi was sincerely envious.
Gong Baosen's face was filled with a doting smile, and he changed from his previous serious expression: "I don't expect her to have much future. As a girl, she can grow up in peace and marry a good husband in the future. She will be happy.
That’s it.”
Li Cunyi took out a jade ring finger from his arms and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
Gong Baosen's expression changed when he saw this, and he declined: "Brother, this was given to you by the emperor back then..."
"Your Majesty?" Li Cunyi curled his lips and said sarcastically: "Where is Emperor Guangxu? It's the Republic of China now. The left and right are just objects, let the children play with them."
Things given by the emperor were considered heirlooms in ancient times and were enshrined in ancestral halls. As long as such things were there, there was basically no need to worry about being exploited by petty officials.
This ring was given to him by Emperor Guangxu himself when his senior brother Li Cunyi defeated the Russian strongman. It was his lifelong honor. However, since the imperial court abandoned the Boxer Rebellion, the frustrated Li Cunyi changed from a staunch "royalist" to a
A staunch "revolutionary".
"Then I would like to thank senior brother for this girl." Gong Baosen solemnly cupped his fists and handed over his hands. This gift is really too valuable.
Seeing that Li Cunyi had given him a gift, Qin Hao also took out a small box from his luggage.
"Uncle, this is the first-year gift that my senior brother Xue Dian asked me to bring to my little junior sister."
Gong Baosen opened the box and found a golden lock of longevity inside, but he didn't refuse and happily asked his nanny to help him put it away.
"Senior brother, my apprentice also has a gift for this girl." Li Cunyi said proudly.
Gong Baosen became interested: "Oh? It seems that this gift from my nephew should be extraordinary."
Qin Hao didn't refuse, and raised his hand to Gong Baosen: "Uncle, do you have any pen and ink?"
Gong Baosen immediately asked someone to go to the study to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked someone to grind the ink. Then he looked at Qin Hao curiously, wondering if this boy could still write well?
"Uncle, dare I ask my little junior sister her name?"
"Gong Ruomei."
Qin Hao took off his bulky coat, picked up a pen, and wrote four big characters.
"Aoshuang Douxue!"
"Okay, good words!"
Gong Baosen's eyes lit up, and he held the little girl's hand and clapped.
"How about Junior Brother, can you tolerate this word?" Li Cunyi said proudly.
Gong Baosen gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation: "It's more than just seeing it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was done by this kid."
Now, Gong Baosen was a little jealous. The Baguazhang skill shown by Qin Hao before only made him happy, but this hand calligraphy really shocked him.
"Both civil and military."
When he thought of this, Gong Baosen looked at Li Cunyi with a different look. He now fully understood why his senior brother, who had ignored worldly affairs for a long time, accepted such a disciple at the age of more than seventy.
.
The little girl didn't understand why her father was so excited. She just felt that she didn't receive any attention, so she cried "Wow".
Xiao was a hero who was usually very angry, but now he was at a loss. He kept coaxing the girl in his arms, but unfortunately the little girl didn't buy it at all, and she couldn't stop crying.
At this moment, Qin Hao reached out and took the little girl over. Not to mention, the little girl stopped crying immediately. A pair of small hands were waving randomly in the air, trying to grab Qin Hao's ears, but they couldn't get enough.
Can't catch it.
Gong Baosen was a little surprised: "This girl usually doesn't recognize anyone except her mother."
Li Cunyi was moved in his heart, but then he shook his head. After all, there was a ten-year age difference between the two children.
After finally coaxing the little girl to sleep, the nurse carried the little girl back to the room. Gong Baosen saw that Li Cunyi's face was already tired, so he asked his servants to boil hot water for Li Cunyi and Qin Hao to take a warm bath.
Water bath.
After a silent night, Qin Hao just got up and saw a young man standing at the door. It was Ma San whom he had just fought yesterday.
