"Senior brother, after I make the arrangements here, I will go to Jinmen to look for you. Please take care of yourself along the way."
It was already two days after the competition in the ring. Gong Baosen held Li Cunyi's hand and said reluctantly.
Li Cunyi smiled and said: "Okay, you are also a father, so don't act like a girl. I will wait for you in Jinmen."
Ma San clenched his fists and shouted at Qin Hao's back.
"Junior Brother Qin, next time we meet, I will definitely not let you defeat me easily again!"
The more he trains with Qin Hao, the more Ma San can feel the gap between the two. Now he no longer expects to defeat Qin Hao. He only hopes that by learning Qin Hao's training methods, he can be better under Qin Hao's hands.
Hold on a little longer.
On the way back, Li Cunyi kept observing Qin Hao and found that he was not affected by the group competition at all, and couldn't help but smile secretly.
As a disciple, he is good at everything, but he is a little too old.
If he had had such a mentality when he was young, he wouldn't have offended so many people.
After a long journey, three days later, Qin Hao and Li Cunyi finally returned to Jinmen. The journey was very peaceful. Except for encountering a few pickpockets with no eyesight, there were no disturbances. As for those pickpockets, Qin Hao was just a minor.
Punishing the Great Commandment taught him a lesson, but he did not kill him.
"Master, junior brother, you are finally back. I have been almost sick in Jinmen these days."
Li Cunyi glared at the irritable Xue Dian and shook his head secretly. If this kid's character could be half as calm as Qin Hao's, he would have to worry less.
Back at his residence, Li Cunyi called Xue Dian to him: "Is there anything going on with the Chinese Warriors Association during my absence these days?"
Xue Dian scratched his head: "It's nothing. It's just that the Nationalist Government is making a fuss about banning smoking. They've been making noise these days, and it makes my head hurt."
Even though the National Government proposed a ban on smoking in 1912, in fact, the opium epidemic has continued to cause widespread harm in recent years, especially in Tianjin. Since the Qing government signed the "Tinmen Treaty" with the British, which was humiliating and humiliating, the British could openly and openly ban opium.
It was transported directly to Jinmen Wharf, and the corrupt Qing government also obtained a large amount of tax revenue. The opium tax alone was as high as 33.02 million taels a year, accounting for 11.3% of the fiscal revenue.
It was also because of this that the Qing government had the money to encircle and suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it continued to survive for several decades.
Although the Qing court is gone, there are still people involved in the opium business.
It just moved from the ground to the underground.
In a period like the Republic of China, when warlords were fighting, the order on the surface could hardly be maintained, let alone the underground order. It was difficult for people to resist the temptation of getting rich overnight, let alone these hard-working boxers who relied on opening a gym.
How much money can you make by taking on a disciple?
Li Cunyi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, he slammed the table and cursed: "These profit-minded bastards!"
Qin Hao's heart moved. Perhaps this was the main reason why Li Cunyi invited Gong Baosen to Jinmen. Some people had already corrupted some scum in the Chinese Samurai Association, or it could be said that these scum took the initiative to move closer to those who opened underground opium dens and acted as their underground.
A protective umbrella, or a thug.
On the second day after Qin Hao and Li Cunyi returned to Jinmen, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit.
"President, the police department is so outrageous now. They want to strictly inspect the goods coming and going from all the escort agencies under the jurisdiction of our Chinese Warrior Association. If the goods are damaged, how can we explain to the owner of the goods!"
"Yes, besides, it has been a rule of our business since ancient times that escorts do not ask what the client wants. They have also said that if contraband is found in our escorts in the future, not only will they be seized, but also
How can we do this business if we are fined? Doesn’t this make us drink from the northwest wind?"
Many boxers spoke bitterly.
After all, the Chinese Samurai Association is just a non-governmental organization. Most of its members fall into three categories. One category is boxers who open a gym to recruit apprentices, the other is an escort who runs an escort agency, and the rest are some idle martial arts practitioners.
Li Cunyi glanced at everyone, but didn't say a word, just drank tea calmly.
He knew very well that those who talk about right and wrong are right and wrong, and these people just want to tie him to their chariot.
"You are right, but what can I, an old man, do now? Come back, you can discuss this matter among yourselves."
Everyone present tried to persuade him again, but unfortunately the old man refused to accept this. They talked until their mouths were dry, they finished drinking the tea, and in the end they could only leave in frustration.
"You see, this is Jianghu."
"The hidden arrows behind this are much scarier than the steel swords that come out in the open!"
Qin Hao probably guessed why Li Cunyi still held the position of "president" after withdrawing from the world. His initial idea was to train Xue Dian, take over his duties, and let him clean up these bugs for him until
It was found that Xue Dian's personality was not suitable for these twists and turns, so he invited Gong Baosen to Tianjin.
"It's a pity, I'm running out of time, otherwise..." Li Cunyi looked at the thoughtful young apprentice beside him, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
Almost a month before and after leaving Jinmen, Xue Dian had already felt itchy hands, so he took Qin Hao to practice in the afternoon.
However, this time he still didn't take advantage.
"Hey, junior brother, your strength has increased a lot!" Xue Dian rubbed his red fists and marveled.
Qin Hao secretly snickered. In fact, he would eat a few attribute fruits every once in a while. On the one hand, it was to allow his body to better adapt to the changes brought about by the increase in attributes. On the other hand, he was "growing up" at his age.
At this time, various physical attributes have increased, which is reasonable and reasonable.
However, this is not the case in Xue Dian's view. This junior brother has such terrifying physical strength at a young age, so that's it. This guy is still growing, and the speed is astonishing.
"What a monster!"
However, complaints are complaints. After having a goal, Xue Dian trained even harder.
Originally, Xue Dian's physical fitness was actually very strong. Since he got Qin Hao's scientific method of exercising muscle strength, his strength has increased significantly. Although there is no precise machine test, it is the feeling when Qin Hao fights with him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xue Dian's strength has exceeded 230 kilograms. An increase of 30 kilograms in one year is definitely a pretty good result.
In the next year, Qin Hao's life was dull but fulfilling. In the morning, he absorbed the essence of Li Cunyi's martial arts like a sponge. In the afternoon, he spent a lot of time sparring with Xue Dian to verify what he had learned.
In this year, Qin Hao finally practiced Xingyi Quan to the state of "muscles and bones ringing together".
It sounds mysterious, but in fact, to explain it from a scientific perspective, it is nothing more than that the joints of the human body are located in the joint capsules of the muscles and bones, and the joints of the muscles and bones are connected and fixed by large white tendons. This material is elastic. When the joints of the muscles and bones are stretched, then
It can stretch the big tendons and produce elasticity, which can assist the muscles and joints in ejecting force, making the limbs instantly hit the opponent like a slingshot launching marbles.
In actual combat, the effect of "muscles and bones singing together" can greatly reduce the consumption of muscle strength, but it does not actually improve overall strength much. This is why martial arts often suffers in actual combat.
However, this is different for a loser like Qin Hao. He now clearly feels that his endurance and explosive power have been greatly enhanced. If he encounters a long-term fierce battle, his combat power recovery speed is faster than that of ordinary people.
Much more.
On a snowy night in 1920, Gong Baosen finally arrived in Jinmen after a long journey.
"Junior brother, you are finally here!" Li Cunyi changed his previous restraint and gave Gong Baosen a bear hug.
Along the way, Gong Baosen also sighed with emotion: "I haven't been to Tianjin for many years, what a big change."
Li Cunyi said angrily: "The big changes are only in the areas near the concession. The people's lives are even worse than before."
This time Gong Baosen only brought Lao Jiang and Ma San, and the group naturally arranged to live in Li Cunyi's home. Ma San was naturally very happy about this, so that he could continue to seek advice from Qin Hao.
In the evening, Li Cunyi ordered a table of delicious food outside and served Gong Baosen at home. After drinking until he was in high spirits, Li Cunyi grabbed Gong Baosen's hand.
"Junior brother, it's good that you're here. It's time for a change in the world of northern martial arts!"
Hearing this, Gong Baosen shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. The Chinese Warriors Association has been established for so many years, and the forces of various sects are complicated. Just with the strength of you and me..."
"You have to do it even if it's difficult, junior brother. Just one sentence, senior brother, no matter what you want to do, I will fully support you." Li Cunyi said firmly.
Gong Baosen's expression calmed down: "Senior brother, what if I want to merge Xingyi and Bagua?"
In an instant, the air in the hall seemed to be frozen.
Ma San and Xue Dian both looked at their respective masters in disbelief.
Li Cunyi also had a look of shock on his face. If he hadn't been in good health, he would have doubted whether he heard wrongly.
"Junior brother, you..."
Gong Baosen sighed: "Brother, you should understand that what we have to do is even more difficult than re-establishing a Chinese Samurai Association. Difficulties and obstacles are essential. If we want to accomplish it, we must use what we can master to
The strength is twisted into a rope. If we are all a piece of loose sand, how can we talk about changing the world?"
"Junior brother, what you said makes sense, but this first thing is full of difficulties and dangers!" Li Cunyi didn't expect that his junior brother, if he didn't take action, would be earth-shattering.
You must know that Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua are known as the three major internal martial arts. Each one is famous in the entire northern martial arts world and has many disciples. You can imagine the difficulty of merging two of them.
The interests involved here are really too complicated. Just imagine, after the merger, will Xingyi Quan or Baguazhang be the master?
After the merger, will the techniques of the two schools be open to all disciples?
What if your apprentice discovers that the opponent’s boxing skills are more powerful?
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention the martial arts world itself. Just thinking about these problems makes Li Cunyi feel a headache.
Gong Baosen said firmly: "If I can't even do this first thing, it means I'm not worthy of being the president!"
"Okay, junior brother, you have such courage. As I said before, no matter what situation you face, senior brother will definitely support you with all his strength!" Li Cunyi was also infected by Gong Baosen's courage and said with great pride.
Qin Hao's heart was moved. In the original drama, Gong Baosen said that he had only done three things in his life. The first of them was to merge the Xingyi Sect and the Bagua Sect. The second was to take over Li Cunyi's team and take charge of the Chinese warriors.
The third thing is that it promoted the northern boxers to go south to spread their skills.
It turns out that there is such a secret in it.
That night, Li Cunyi drank a little too much, and Xue Dian got drunk because of a drinking contest with Ma San. Only Qin Hao was left to clean up the mess.
When Qin Hao carried Li Cunyi and Xue Dian back to the room one by one and returned to the main room, Lao Jiang and Ma San were gone. It was probably that Lao Jiang was carrying Ma San back to the house to rest.
Gong Baosen sat alone on the Grand Master's chair, took a sip of tea, sighed and called Qin Hao.
"I promised to teach you the Gong family's sixty-four skills before, but I never had time, so why not start today."
Qin Hao was slightly stunned, thinking that Gong Baosen had drunk too much and was acting on a whim.
Gong Baosen just smiled and came to the yard with his hands behind his back.
"Since we want to merge the two sects, we can no longer have any sectarian opinions. Let's start with you!"
Saying that, Gong Baosen turned back and glanced at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was shocked. He saw a hint of determination in Gong Baosen's eyes.
Qin Hao suddenly understood that Gong Baosen was doing this with the determination to force him to death. Destroying someone's wealth is like killing his parents. No one can do it. It is conceivable that Gong Baosen, who is in charge of this matter, will inevitably face the consequences in the future.
All kinds of overt and covert schemes, open spears are easy to dodge and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent. If they fall into the trap, the Gong family's sixty-four skills will be lost.
Gong Baosen doesn’t want to bring his unique skills into the coffin!
"I have been fond of martial arts since I was a child. I first went to a martial arts school to learn skills. Later, after I completed my studies, I went to the capital. Fortunately, Yin Fu, a disciple of Mr. Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang, valued me and accepted me as his direct disciple."
"The Gong family's sixty-four moves were created after I became famous, based on the Yin style Baguazhang. It also incorporated the characteristics of Xingyi, Tai Chi, Yan Qing and other boxing techniques..."
Late at night, under the moonlight, Gong Baosen's feet kept gliding in the snow. Qin Hao discovered that compared to the Baguazhang steps taught by Li Cunyi, his steps were more agile and elegant, and more elusive. They seemed to be completely irregular.
But every step coincides with the fist intention of Baguazhang.
"Right push grind"
"Birds throwing themselves into the forest"
"Looking back at the sea"
"Old man fishing"
"The sun and the moon go hand in hand"
"Real person holding the ball"
"Flowers hidden under the leaves..."
While practicing, Gong Baosen taught the Gong family the secrets of the Gong family's sixty-four moves in terms of force exertion and footwork.
After Qin Hao read it once, he began to practice following Gong Baosen's movements.
At first, Gong Baosen didn't take it too seriously. He just thought that Qin Hao had learned Baguazhang before and had a certain foundation. But when he looked at him, he was stunned.
Qin Hao's way of exerting force and moving his steps during the drill were exactly the same as his, so that was all. It was Qin Hao's third drill.
Gong Baosen discovered that Qin Hao actually mixed some other methods of exerting force into the moves he used with Baguazhang.
"This kid is simply a monster!"
Gong Baosen suddenly understood why Senior Brother Li Cunyi chose this boy as his closed disciple.
