Xiangye

Chapter 102
It's ridiculous that I didn't know it at the time, and I attacked with two knives in a row. Relying on my youth and strength, I forced my master to be out of breath, and I was proud of it.

Yes, it doesn't matter how fast my knife is, his old man's knife is already waiting there, and he has already predicted the enemy's opportunity before the battle.Just like a good Go player, one step can already see the next ten moves.

Little Ying blushed with embarrassment, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Boy is ignorant. I don't know your peerless martial arts. I feel arrogant and arrogant. I ask Master to punish me."

"Get up, know your own shortcomings, and only then can you improve your martial arts. In martial arts, you have to constantly fight against masters who are superior to you. Only by fighting to the death can you improve. A near-death is worth ten times." Years of hard training. Didn’t Buddhism talk about epiphany? In that case, as long as you don’t die, you will definitely gain something.” Daying raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky: “What kind of peerless martial arts, compared with others, what am I? "

Xiaoying stood up and respectfully waited by Master's side.The weather was too hot, so he carefully removed the leather armor on the eagle.

Hearing what the old man said, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, in Xiaoying's opinion, your martial arts skills are beyond reach. Is it possible that there is still someone in this world who can surpass you?"

"It's really a frog in the well, and you have seen what is a real master. Not to mention, among the great monks of the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, there are not enough two hands that can beat the old man, and among the Taoist priests of Wudang Mountain, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. However, Shaolin and Wudang Mountain's martial arts are understandable and conceivable, but that man...is...but..."

Having said this, Daying's face suddenly turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

Xiaoying was a little worried: "Master, what's wrong with you, and who is that person?"

Daying picked up the teacup and drank it down, then smiled miserably: "Little Ying, you also know that Master is not from Shaanxi."

Xiaoying: "That's right, that's right, I heard from my master before that you are from Cangzhou, Beizhili. You came to Shaanxi 18 years ago and joined the Gongmen."

Daying: "Do you know why Master came to Shaanxi and joined the Gongmen?"

Without waiting for Xiaoying's answer, Daying said: "Cangzhou used to be a battleground for military strategists, and folk martial arts prevailed. When Master was young, his family was not bad, and he liked to play with guns and sticks. The so-called poor culture and rich martial arts. Of course, now In this world, reading is more expensive than practicing martial arts. My family saw that I don’t like reading, so they spent a lot of money and invited many masters to come back to teach martial arts. After 20 years of practicing martial arts, the old man is in good shape. It’s not bragging, eighteen He is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. I dare not say it in other places, but Cangzhou is the number one in guns and sticks. However, when he was 20 years old, something happened at home. I have dealt with the palace before. So, our family was implicated and broke up."

The so-called Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion was a major historical event in the early Ming Dynasty.

King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty was the second son of Emperor Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. When the ancestor was in trouble with Tianjing, the King of Han followed his father to charge in the battlefield and made great achievements in battle. He was also supported by the soldiers.After Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was canonized as a prince.

To be honest, this Zhu Gaoxu has courage, ability, and dignified appearance. He is simply a copy of Emperor Chengzu. If he is given a chance, he may not be able to become a promising king.It's a pity that he still has an older brother, the prince Zhu Gaochi who is supported by civil officials.

The so-called orderly seniority, orderly respect and inferiority.After the death of Chengzu, Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne with the reign name Hongxi, who was Ming Renzong in the Renxuan rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This Ming Renzong has a gentle personality, and he is so fat that he can't see, and he has a limped leg. He didn't have an inch of arrow in the battle of Jingnan.Just because he was born two years earlier than Zhu Gaoxu, he was established as the prince, the successor of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The king of Han refused to accept it!
So, brazenly rebelled.

But because of limited strength, he was quickly suppressed by the imperial army.After he surrendered, he was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in Xi'an Gate.Later, he and his sons were killed one after another.

"My home was confiscated by the imperial court, and the house and land were also confiscated. Master, I used to be a young master. I didn't know the grain, so I suddenly lost my livelihood. In desperation, I relied on my martial arts skills and wandered around in several northern provinces. Do some worthless business."

"Ah, Master, have you ever fallen grass on the mountain?" Little Eagle was startled, his voice trembling.

"Point, there is nothing to hide, people have to live first!" Daying sighed, and then said: "However, I used to come from a good family, knowing good and evil, and knowing right and wrong. Although I have done calamity You can earn a living from the rich to the poor, and you can walk the rivers and lakes for many years, but you have never had a life attached to your hands, so don't worry, Little Eagle."

Xiaoying let out a long breath, and said with a smile: "I said, Master, you will not let me down. You don't need to worry about the origin of a hero, Master. By the way, who is the person you are talking about? How incredible is it?"

"Don't worry, just listen to the teacher and go on slowly." Daying smiled and said: "Cangzhou is close to Shandong, and Shandong is the headquarters of Lianshe."

Xiaoying: "Could it be that Master said that that person is a white lotus demon?"

Daying nodded slightly, and said: "That year, master was 25 years old, which was the age when a person's physical strength and blood were vigorous. The martial arts he practiced had already reached the peak, and it was extremely difficult to go further. I heard people say that Shaolin and Wudang are the authentic martial arts in the world. When I was learning martial arts in my early years, I heard a sentence from my teacher who taught me: I would rather not learn the Tao for a thousand years than practice wild fox meditation for a day. Learning martial arts should not go the wrong way, otherwise, If you want to correct it in the future, you will never be able to correct it. It is precisely because the martial arts have not improved, so I want to go to Shaolin and Wudang as a teacher to see what is the authentic martial arts."

"I first went to Wudang Mountain as a teacher. Unfortunately, the Taoists I met were either meditating to practice Qi or alchemy to cultivate longevity. When asked, they replied that they didn't know martial arts at all. There is no other way, the old man can only go to Songshan in Henan .”

Xiaoying: "Master, what happened to Shaolin?"

As soon as the disciple asked, Daying said: "Shaolin can't compare to Wudang, it's only a monastery. When I entered the temple and asked, the monk didn't shy away from it. Seeing the sesame oil money sent by the master, regardless of the origin, he readily accepted me as a disciple. Once entered Only in the monastery, the old man knows the power of Shaolin martial arts. There are really masters like clouds, any monk sent out is a first-class master, it really is Shaolin martial arts in the world!"

"I lived in the temple for another two years, and I learned more skills from my teacher than the previous 25 years combined, and I also stepped into the threshold of superior martial arts. At this time, the money on my body has been spent. Although The masters in the temple don’t say anything, but they eat and live for nothing. Besides, when a person is young, he is full of blood and has martial arts in his hands. He always wants to compete with others in the world and become famous. The so-called: With a sharp weapon, he started killing himself. Besides, the master used to be a person who did business without capital, and there was a ruthless and hostile spirit in his bones. Even after reading Buddhist scriptures for two years, he couldn't dispel it. So he resigned from the master. Wandering around Henan."

Xiaoying: "It turns out that Master, your old man came from Shaolin, so I am also a Shaolin disciple."

Daying nodded: "Indeed, you can also be regarded as my lay disciple of Shaolin Orthodox School, a well-known orthodox school."

Hearing what the master said, Xiaoying's face was bright and proud.Another thing came to mind: "Master, didn't you say that Shandong Bailian is a monster? How did you bring it up to me, Shaolin?"

"Hey, I'm getting old, and when I think about the past, I feel a little wordy, so don't worry." Daying said with a smile, "I've been wandering in Henan for a while, and I'm an authentic Shaolin martial artist. There are no rivals on both sides of the Yellow River, and he has won the great fame of Nuo. To put it funny, if you go to any place in Henan, Kaifeng, or Guide, you will have friends in the rivers and lakes to take care of your food and lodging. On that day, you will be really happy. Until..."

"Until what?"

"It wasn't until I met that person... that I didn't know what it means that there are mountains beyond the mountains, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people above people."
