The martial arts performance was still going on. The wind blowing over the altar gradually became more coherent, and with the coolness, it started to have the momentum of shouting.
Several more exciting pairs appeared in the subsequent sparring, slowly diluting the anecdotes that had happened before. Even when Chong Lingzi Yang Chaoxi raised his head, there were no more deliberate gazes. But there was one gaze.
, occasionally it would come from one direction, and it was so cold that it made his heart shiver. Naturally, Yang Zhaoxi did not dare to look at it. After all, it was... the place where Linjiguan disciples gathered.
My mind was still uncontrollably replaying the scene of the confrontation over and over again. I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself: I had just got the Taoist title, and I wanted to make a name for myself, but I failed. When I returned to the view, I didn't know.
How long will it take to be ridiculed by those brothers... I'm afraid even Guan Hu'er and the others won't miss such a funny thing... After thinking about it in my mind for a while, the martial arts performance has also come to an end. Yang Zhaoxi left
Shaking his head to clear away his distracting thoughts, he saw Senior Brother Zhuo Songtao next to him, walking towards the Zhaitan with high spirits.
As usual, the officers and soldiers inspected the feathers and arrows, and then Zhuo Songtao and the Taoist priest went up to the altar one after another. The Taoist priest was also very knowledgeable about etiquette, and he took the lead in signing up for his name: "Ge Mingyi, the poor Taoist Anguo Guanzhitong, please ask for help from fellow Taoists."
I will do my best, and even if I am not good at my studies and fail miserably, I should have no complaints."
Zhuo Songtao also clasped his fists and said: "I'm here, Zhuo Songtao, the Ming Lingzi of Shangqing Guan. Since Taoist brother has this intention, he must regard it as a beautiful man." After saying this, he gathered his strength, then waved his palms to attack and launched a move.
Decisive and well-timed, but nothing like the soft style of "Cuiyun Daogong".
Yang Chaoxi looked surprised, and Huang Shuo explained from the side: "Senior Brother Zhuo Songtao's family has been soldiers for several generations, and the family's traditional boxing techniques he uses were all tempered by his father's life and death in battle.
I'm afraid it won't be much different against your 'Nine Fighting Styles'."
"Of course it's much better than mine. It's just that I've never seen him use it before, so it's strange." Yang Chaoxi smiled, and suddenly became more curious about this senior brother. But in his heart, he began to think about how to find a way to pester Zhuo Song.
Brother Tao, learn this boxing technique. Next time you have a farm holiday, you can use it to compete with Guan Shibo and scare him.
Zhuo Songtao was now in a bitter fight.
Although Ge Mingyi, the Zhitongzi, was polite, his men were really extraordinary. He used no punches or palms in his moves. Sometimes a tiger pounced, sometimes an eagle grabbed, sometimes an ape soared, sometimes a turtle crouched... It was ever-changing and unpredictable.
"If you blindly attack at this moment, you will always be hit by his ambush moves; if you defend without attacking, you will lock up all your boxing advantages and fall into passivity..." Zhuo Songtao was thinking, after playing dozens of moves,
I received several strong blows on my chest, under my ribs, left shoulder, right arm, etc. The pain was bearable, but I felt like a "blind man riding a blind horse, approaching a deep pool in the middle of the night" and I couldn't figure out the direction of the blows.
.
However, Ge Mingyi's boxing skills became more and more fluent. Several military officers who were watching under the altar all praised him and even said a few words of affirmation to Zhuo Songtao, who was in danger.
At this time, Taoist Gongsun in the crowd under the altar saw the source of Zhuo Songtao's embarrassment and said loudly: "Ming Lingzi! Do whatever you want with your fists and palms, don't stick to the rules." Anguo Guanguan, who was sitting not far away,
The Lord turned his head when he heard this, looked at him for a while, and then returned his gaze to the altar.
Zhuo Songtao suddenly heard the master of the temple calling him. When he heard the eight words "Fist and palm follow your heart, don't be constrained to achieve the law", he felt like an enlightenment, and his thoughts suddenly became clear. Although his hands were still struggling to support him, his heart finally felt
I figured out the joints: My own "Zhuo Family Boxing" was originally practiced by thousands of people in the battle formation, so it naturally has traces of routines. If it is used for martial arts competitions, it really has a bit of "craftsmanship" that is hard to get rid of. On the contrary
I practice the "Cuiyun Dao Kung" frequently. I practiced it very strictly at first, but after practicing it for a long time, no matter which move I start from, or I want to jump to other moves, I can master all the moves. I really can follow my heart with my fists and palms!
Zhuo Songtao thought about it, and the moves in his hand began to change, which seemed to be a combination of hardness and softness. Ge Mingyi also noticed this change, and made his moves a little faster than before, hoping to force him to reveal his flaws again. Zhuo Songtaojing
He gathered his energy and spirit, as if the sweat on his forehead had receded a little. He pumped out his fists and palms, covering all the power of the tiger, the speed of an eagle, and the speed of an ape in Ge Mingyi's boxing. He just defended and did not attack.
When it comes to eliminating belts and fighting, I have been able to do it with ease.
Seeing that his hands were covered by Zhuo Songtao's fists, Ge Mingyi began to become anxious, and his breath gradually became weak. Zhuo Songtao noticed that he had an empty door, suddenly stepped forward to bully him, leaned against him with one shoulder, and knocked him away.
He retreated to the foot of the altar to stabilize his body.
Seeing that the defeat was certain, Ge Mingyi was not angry. He stood under the altar and clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, I accept this! This is an eye-opener for me!"
Zhuo Songtao stood in the altar, also clasping his fists: "Brother Taoist, keep your hands! Thank you for your kindness!" After saying that, he got off the altar and took Ge Mingyi to the side to talk. At this time, Hong Taizhu also announced the winner, and the other group
The Taoist priests once again went to the altar and began to practice martial arts...
The martial arts performance continued, and the Taoist priests in the audience were still busy commenting and pointing out the merits and demerits. At this time, Master Hongdao Guan Yuchi turned his face sideways, smiled at Taoist Gongsun next to him and said: "Brother Xuantong, please see the subtlety of martial arts, it is really amazing! If it weren't for a handful
At this age, Brother Yu will have to find a reason to place orders at your Cuiyun Peak!"
Gongsun Zhenren also smiled and said: "Brother Yuchi, don't let me amuse you anymore! To practice Taoism, practicing kung fu and practicing qi is the foundation. These sideline boxing techniques are originally only used to strengthen muscles and bones. If Brother Taoist is interested,
, I will go to your temple to bother you for a few days and demonstrate this 'Cuiyun Taoist Skill'. As the palace envoy said, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to discuss Taoism in the forum and exchange ideas?"
Master Yuchi was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's very good! Since Brother Xuantong is generous and Brother Yu has no secrets, I will also demonstrate my 'Seizing Fist' at that time. If your disciples don't mind it being crude, they can practice it as well."
Xi." The two of them joked for a while and then discussed the matter of their stay as guests.
At about three quarters of noon, the martial arts performance of forty-two Taoist priests finally came to an end with a burst of cheers. Wang Jin, the envoy of Taiwei Palace, walked up to the fasting altar, bowed his hands to everyone under the altar and said:
"Dear colleagues and Taoist friends, I would like to express my gratitude here! In the prosperous dynasty, martial arts have always been worshiped, and all the Taoist friends gathered together in the middle of autumn to discuss Tao and perform martial arts, in order to inherit the Holy Heart and to provide peace to the people. After half a day of practicing martial arts and discussing, only Hongdao Guanquan can
In order to win the game, I would like to commend Yan Lugong for his handwritten letter from the "Tao De Zhen", and hope that he will work hard to practice Taoism in the future and help the national destiny. There are also Fang Qidou, the eldest son of Hongdao Guanzhuan, Zhuo Songtao, the Minglingzi of Shangqing Guan, and Wen Dazi of Longxing Guan.
Xiao Zhan, Linji Guanjing Xizi Tang Juan, who has excellent martial arts skills and overwhelms everyone, is specially awarded a fish talisman. If you have the intention of joining the army to serve the country, you can take the fish talisman to camp in Luofu and enter your name and surname to help you in autumn and winter.
defense."
After saying this, the palace envoy went down to the Zhaitan, and invited Tan Xiaowei, Shao Zhonghou, Ning Lieutenant and others from Luofu's camp to have a banquet in the Zhaiyuan. The official group, surrounded by soldiers, went to the Zhaiyuan first.
Hong Taizhu stood in front of the fasting altar and announced loudly: "Fellow Taoists, the mid-autumn discussion on Taoism and martial arts is over. Please wait in the guest rooms of the Zhaiyuan for a while. The lunch and corresponding awards will be sent to you later. Fellow Taoists, please
After lunch, I left here. I said goodbye here, so I didn’t see each other off one by one!"
The masters of each temple said "Sorry for disturbing you" and led their disciples back to the Zhaiyuan. Gongsun Zhenren deliberately stopped for a few steps, walked to Hong Taizhu's side and cupped his hands and said: "Hong Taizhu wishes you well! The old Taoist has an appointment with Taoist Brother Yuchi. In the afternoon
I have to go to Hongdao Temple to stay temporarily for a while. If the royal envoy has anything to do, he can come from Hongdao Temple to preach the old way. Please tell the royal envoy!"
Hong Taizhu bowed his hands and returned the gift: "Of course!" Gongsun Zhenzhen took the disciples of Shangqingguan and went back to the Zhaiyuan to pack up.
Shangqing Guanqing Lingzi Zhu Jieran was injured last night and did not participate in the martial arts performance. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the guest room of the Zhaiyuan to practice martial arts. However, as a practitioner of Taoism and martial arts, he still has some regrets about the process of martial arts performance, the results, and more
He was very worried. At this time, he heard the noise of the Taoist priests coming from far away, and he knew that the martial arts performance was over, so he stopped performing the martial arts, and suddenly felt a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he was looking forward to it endlessly.
With the sound of the door, Gongsun Zhenren, Yang Chaoxi, Huang Shuo, and Zhuo Songtao came in one after another. The pain in Zhu Jieran's body had eased, so he walked out of the screen, saluted Gongsun Daoist, and then sat down.
Asked: "How about martial arts?"
Zhuo Songtao was making tea for Gongsun Zhenren, so he turned around and said with a smile: "It's quite interesting! We won two games, and I won by a narrow margin, which is not worth mentioning. But Junior Brother Yang, this time, really stole the show!" Yang
When Chao Xi heard this, he had already stood up and came up to cover his mouth.
Huang Shuo, on the other hand, said with a smile: "Junior Brother Yang spanked a female Taoist priest!" Yang Zhaoxi ran over and covered Huang Shuo's mouth.
When Zhu Jieran heard this, the flames of gossip were immediately aroused, and he asked with great interest: "What happens next? Give up after being spanked?" Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Yang Chaoxi had no choice but to get into the screen, lie down on the wooden couch and sulk.
.
Huang Shuo then sat down on the couch alone and listened to him one by one about the martial arts performance in the morning, starting from his failure on the stage, picking out the highlights one by one. He could hear that sometimes his expression was tense, and sometimes he was stroking his hands.
He laughed, but when he heard that Zhuo Songtao was able to improve his family's boxing skills again in the martial arts competition, and finally turned defeat into victory, he raised his head and teased Zhuo Songtao in surprise and joking. Zhuo Songtao almost almost
Put a pot of boiling water on your hands.
While the junior brothers were enjoying talking about many topics in martial arts, the palace servants had already brought the lunch. From two huge red lacquer wooden boxes, many meals were taken out one after another, and there was even a large bowl of soup.
Soup! It was the most sumptuous meal in the past two days. Also delivered at the same time was a small fish charm, which seemed to be made of mixed silver. One side was in the shape of a carp, and the other side was engraved with the words "Ming Lingzi Zhuosong"
The other three disciples were quite envious of the words "Tao", so they were quickly put away by Zhuo Songtao.
The fatigue of several days in a row subsided in this sumptuous lunch. When the five of them finished their lunch and were packing their things, there was another knock on the door. Zhuo Songtao opened it, but there was no one there.
Just as he was about to close the door, he saw a letter lying on the floor. On the cover were several elegant and dignified regular script characters: Chong Lingzi Suqi...
