Chapter 4 Xiping Martial Arts Hall
Every ten tables?That means there are at least twenty tables set up, and there is a high probability that there will be more than that. There are a lot of banquet guests, so you have to find a table that is close.

Wu Qing rubbed her chin, pondered for a while,
"Which ones are sitting at the same table as the nurse?"

Master Zhao thought for a while, his eyes flickered, and he only announced one name.

"The owner of the Xiping martial arts school, Liu Xiping, and a few others, I don't know... Yu Jiang is not too young."

I didn't care about Master Zhao's little thoughts.

Wu Qing turned to look at Zhang Ziqi behind him,

"Do you know where the Xiping martial arts school is?"

Zhang Ziqi stared round his eyes, looked at Wu Qing in a daze, swallowed a mouthful of smear with difficulty, and then stammered,
"I know... I know, it's not far from here."

Wu Qing turned around and bowed to Master Zhao,

"It's annoying."

After Wu Qing and Zhang Zaiqi walked out of the courtyard, Master Zhao's questioning came after him.
"I don't know... what kind of boxing did you practice?"

Wu Qing didn't turn her head back,

"It's Bajiquan."

Calculate?Master Zhao was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand, he forgot to put down such harsh words as "Where is your residence, I will come to ask for advice in the future".

Not only did he not understand, Zhang Ziqi also did not understand.

How can anyone not know what boxing they practice?
After walking a long distance, Zhang Ziqi suppressed his excitement and asked a series of questions,

"You really know how to punch? Why did you say it just now? What kind of boxing is Bajiquan? Why haven't I heard of it? The teachers at the Longxin Escort Bureau are so powerful that they trained you in a month? Is your boxing easy to learn? Yes Can't you teach me?"

Why is it final?
Because Wu Qing practiced Wujiaquan in his previous life, a faction of Nanquan, and later worshiped a master of Huo Chuan Bajiquan, and later traveled to Cangzhou, Foshan, Tianjin, Guiping and other martial arts hometowns However, after exchanges, the martial arts of various sects have been integrated.

But I miss the first master who taught Bajiquan the most.

Bajiquan, Liuhe Daqiang, Liuhe Flower Spear, Liuhe Sanyin Knife and other martial arts under Bajiquan are the most proficient.

There is no way to tell Zhang Ziqi about this, Wu Qing now made up a reason and only answered Zhang Ziqi's next few questions.

"When I was a child, a wandering Taoist priest taught me boxing. It was not taught by the Escort Bureau. It is easy to learn but requires hard work."

I never thought about the reason for this new compilation, and I didn't fool Zhang Ziqi. Zhang Zaiqi let out a "tch",
"Do you think I'm stupid? I can't understand the script, but I have been to the bookstore."

Wu Qing didn't have the slightest shame of being exposed for lying, and asked in a neutral manner,

"Have you arrived at the Xiping Martial Arts Hall yet?"

"Come on... Your Bajiquan will teach me."

Zhang Ziqi is really hot-eyed.

Wu Qing smiled: "For sure next time."

Zhang Ziqi walked in front, but still turned around to ask questions from time to time.

Wu Qing said "um...yes..." all the way, and agreed.

The two of them turned right out of Yangming Lane, saw Dagongmen, walked south along the west city wall, until they came to a modern girl advertising sign that said "White Sparrow Fragrance Powder", Zhang Zaiqi stopped and raised his hand, Pointing to the house facing the street at the opposite intersection,
"arrive."

There are three rooms in this house, with a green brick gatehouse, gray bricks and blue tiles, and a high wall to close it.

The Fenghuo wall that is higher than the gable is covered with two slopes of carved small blue tiles, and there is a Tengu seat on the stomping wind board, looking up into the sky, quite magnificent.

It's just that Wu Qing also saw that several pieces of drip tiles with the word "Fu" on the eaves were broken, and the paint on the Dahongmen door inlaid with copper nails was also cracked.

It seems that the owner's house has not been repaired in detail. I don't know if it is because of financial constraints, or the owner's family doesn't care.

Or both.

In Wu Qing's previous life, he opened a gymnasium to teach apprentices. He was not like this, but when he went out to communicate, he had seen many such martial arts gyms and martial arts masters.

It cannot be said that there is no money to build the appearance of the martial arts school, but it is true that the money is not enough for everything, and I feel that I rely on my ability to make a living, and I don't need to rely on appearance to attract people.

It sounds nice, but it's just helpless.

The door of the house was open, and a young man in a cotton gray jacket stood at the door and looked out, as if waiting for someone.

Wu Qing and Zhang Zaiqi crossed the street, walked all the way to the gate of "Xiping Martial Arts Hall", and cupped their hands at the young man in short clothes at the gate,
"Is Master Liu Xiping here?"

The young man in short clothes was stunned when he heard the words, and took a few glances at Wu Qing and Zhang Ziqi.
One was wearing cheap clothes and trousers, and the other was simply shirtless.

Then he frowned, but bowed his hand in return,

"My master is here...is it Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Ziqi was also stunned,

"Huh? My last name is Zhang."

The young man in short clothes didn't loosen his brows, he was a little embarrassed for a while.

His master asked him to wait for a Mr. Zhang at the door, but he didn't give details.Here came a man surnamed Zhang, but he didn't feel like him regardless of his age or clothes.

When did his master have such a poor friend?

I was here in a rush to get things done, and I just had a fight with someone, and the hostility in my heart still hasn't dissipated.

Wu Qing was even more impatient with the young man in short clothes looking at him while thinking, and said,
"What are you doing?"

This question prompted the young man in short clothes to make a decision. He temporarily suppressed his doubts, and let Wu Qing and Zhang Ziqi in.
"You two come with me."

It was only Wu Qing who followed the young man in short clothes to the verandah, and there were two knocks on the door knocker from the direction of the door.
"Dong dong."

"Next, Zhang Suying, at the invitation of Master Liu Xiping, came here to visit the hall."

The expression of the young man in short clothes changed, he turned to look at Zhang Zaiqi,
"Then who are you?"

"I'm Mr. Zhang from Zhang Ziqi."

Zhang Ziqi is happy,
"I almost thought your master was a fortune teller."

"You!" The young man in short clothes lost his voice for a moment.

Wu Qing stared at the young man in short clothes:

"We also have something to do with Master Liu."

"Is anyone there?" An urging voice came from the direction of the door.

The young man in short clothes had no choice but to say,
"Those two, please wait here for a while."

After that, he hurried towards the door.

Zhang Zaiqi folded his arms around his chest and looked towards the patio hall,
"Let me just say, since when did this Liu Xiping change his career to fortune-telling, did he know we were coming? It turned out that the kid just made a mistake. Eh, what are they laughing at?"

Zhang Ziqi's laughing tone turned into doubt at the end.

It also led Wu Qing's sight to the courtyard.

The courtyard of the Xiping Martial Arts Hall is not as narrow as other traditional houses in Yujiang, but is very open. The walls of the side rooms on both sides have been demolished, and they are connected to the courtyard without barriers.

It is large, more like a northern courtyard than a southern patio.

The patio is not directly connected to the hall, but is separated by a carved wall with a screen door in the wall.

This enlarged courtyard should be used exclusively as a training ground.

In the large courtyard, there are nine neatly dressed people, following a leading young man, occupying a small piece of land, practicing boxing with shouts and drinks.Probably the apprentice of this martial arts school.

Zhang Ziqi's doubts came from these apprentices.

Some of the ten martial arts apprentices seem to have seen Zhang Zaiqi and Wu Qing, these people whispered a few words when changing steps from time to time, and then they all let out small laughter.

This deliberately concealed but clearly visible laughter made Zhang Ziqi a little unhappy.

Are they kidding me?

Wu Qing didn't bother to pay attention, so she turned her gaze away and landed on the gate.
