Chapter 94
"Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohu?
Haha ~ Interesting. "Yu Deyi laughed.
Zhang Xiaohua laughed as well. His laugh was not as arrogant as Yu Deyi's, nor was it as arrogant as Shangguan Yun's, nor was it as flattering as Li Jinfeng's. It was a laugh that came from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was a laugh of pride for his second brother, or perhaps it was a laugh of happiness for his future.
Yu Deyi stopped laughing and asked, "Then why don't you tell me the reason?"
Zhang Xiaohua calmly said: "This sentence means that there is no special reason, it's just that I'm familiar with it.
I've also practiced fist techniques for a few days, but I haven't made any progress. Today, after hearing about my second brother, I suddenly realized that as long as one is truly proficient in one fist technique, it will be as effective as practicing many other fist techniques. There's another saying that it's better to be proficient in a single fist technique than to be proficient in a hundred different fist techniques. Isn't this the same principle? "
Before anyone else could speak, Li Jinfeng couldn't help but tap his fan and applaud: "Brother Xiaohua, what you said is very clear. The teachers in school always teach us not to bite off more than we can chew. It's also the same principle. A person's energy is limited. Reading ten thousand books doesn't mean that you understand everything. Instead, it's better to focus on one book and completely understand it. In the past, I didn't pay much attention to this saying, but now that I've heard about Brother Xiaohu's achievements, it seems that I'll have to pay more attention to it when I study in the future."
Yu Deyi still curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "You guys don't practice martial arts, so you won't understand. Practicing martial arts and studying are two different things. A person who has just started practicing martial arts for a month definitely can't beat someone who has practiced for many years. This, maybe that bodyguard just made a mistake."
Shangguan Yun said: "Yes, that Sixth Master Li also thought so. Although he agreed with Zhang Xiaohu's decision, he still wanted to test Zhang Xiaohu's bottom line. The next day, he found two more bodyguards to compete with Zhang Xiaohu, but the results were still shocking. Although Zhang Xiaohu didn't win against the two bodyguards, the two bodyguards didn't gain any advantage either. Both matches ended in a draw."
Yu Deyi couldn't sit still any longer and stood up from her chair: "Impossible, I know the bodyguards of the Lotus Escort Agency. Many of them have extraordinary skills that aren't inferior to those from the Martial Arts Hall. How can they not take down this Zhang Xiaohu?
Impossible, impossible? "
Shangguan Yun waited for Yu Deyi to finish speaking. Seeing that Yu Deyi was pacing around in circles, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Young Master Yu, you're at a dead end. You didn't listen carefully. Fist techniques, let's compete in fist techniques."
"Oh ~ Fist techniques, hehe, I know." Yu Deyi patted his head and quietly sat down.
He said self-deprecatingly: "I still can't hold it in. Master has already told me so many times. How could I forget that they were competing in fist techniques?
If that's the case, then the bodyguards really could have been forced to a draw by Zhang Xiaohu if they didn't use internal strength.
Hmph, but, even if I don't use internal strength, I believe that I can still beat Zhang Xiaohu. Isn't he just a bumpkin who just started out? "Yu Deyi started off well, but as he spoke, his playboy nature was revealed.
When he said the two words "internal strength", Zhang Xiaohua and Li Jinfeng had faces full of confusion. Yu Lun's face revealed an envious expression, and his chubby fingers couldn't help but rub together.
Li Jinfeng didn't say anything and silently looked at them. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't let go of the opportunity to know everything about martial arts, so he impatiently asked: "That, internal strength, what is that?"
"What's internal strength?
Hahahaha. "When Yu Deyi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly. He shook his head and raised his head to look out the door, not saying anything else.
Shangguan Yun also seemed to have heard something very interesting, and his face was full of smiles. However, he still said: "Zhang Xiaohua, I can't tell you what internal strength is right now. When you have the opportunity to practice martial arts, you can ask your master."
When Zhang Xiaohua saw that they didn't answer, he couldn't help but look at Yu Lun. However, Yu Lun only smiled flatteringly at Yu Deyi, and his slightly greedy eyes followed Zhang Xiaohua. In his eyes, Zhang Xiaohua was just transparent, so how could he answer his question?
"Sigh ~" Zhang Xiaohua sighed in his heart, but immediately became excited. 'If you don't tell me, I can ask Captain He. After all, he's a regular disciple of the Misty School, so he'll definitely know something like this.'
Just as he was thinking, Yu Deyi suddenly retracted his gaze and stared at Zhang Xiaohua: "Zhang Xiaohua, right? What kind of internal strength do you want to know? I can tell you, but there's a condition."
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Condition? What condition?"
Yu Deyi smiled and said: "It's very simple. Let your second brother Zhang Xiaohu compete with me in fist techniques, and I'll agree to tell you."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she laughed and shook her head: "No, I can't agree to your request in place of my second brother. I haven't seen him in a long time."
Yu Deyi laughed: "I knew it. You won't dare to agree. You're just a coward from the countryside, hmph."
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head again and said: "This has nothing to do with guts. Maybe I'm a coward and don't have the courage, but 'I'll go forward even if there are thousands of people'. This has to do with my heart's beliefs. (Sigh, illiteracy is so scary. I need to hurry up and let Zhang Xiaohua study. When Xiaohua says something like this, I get goosebumps.) I won't let someone else do this kind of boring thing with my second brother for no reason. I might not know what internal strength is right now, but there are probably many people who know. Since it's not your secret, then I'll naturally find out sooner or later.
Young Master Yu, what do you say? "
Yu Deyi originally looked at Zhang Xiaohua with ridicule, but when he finished speaking, the contempt on his face froze. With a "pa" sound, he closed his fan and said: "Zhang Xiaohua?
You really are an interesting person. At such a young age, you actually have this kind of thinking. You, did you really just come from the countryside? "
Zhang Xiaohua still had a smile on her face: "It doesn't matter if I'm from the countryside or not. I only know that I only do what I think I should do."
Yu Deyi nodded seriously and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, I take back what I just said.
Since you said that you'll find out what internal strength is sooner or later, then I won't hide it anymore. I'll tell you right now and let you know that people from the countryside and people from the city are really different. "
After he finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Xiaohua to see how he would respond. However, Zhang Xiaohua's pure eyes weren't timid at all. She met his gaze and her face was calm as if she was saying: "If you want to say it, then say it. I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to say it, then I don't care."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, Yu Deyi could only slowly say: "Actually, internal strength is very complicated to explain. You've never practiced martial arts before, so it's not easy for me to explain it to you. To put it simply, when you practice martial arts, if you practice internal strength, then your body will produce a kind of power. We call it internal strength. Internal strength is different from your body's strength. It can be increased through cultivation. Moreover, when you don't use it, it will circulate in your body. When you use it, it will have an effect.
Different fist techniques have different internal strength paths, so when you use it, it will have a very powerful effect. For example, internal strength is like a weapon like a sword. When your second brother competes with someone else in fist techniques, then he'll throw away the weapon and only use his body's strength. If you add in internal strength, then that means your second brother is empty-handed while the other person has a sword, then your second brother will definitely lose.
Do you understand? "
Yu Deyi's words made Zhang Xiaohua dumbstruck. It really gave Zhang Xiaohua a lesson on the basics of martial arts. He never thought that martial arts would be so complicated.
He thought that it was as simple as practicing his fists and legs, but after seeing it, he still had to learn internal strength.
After hearing Yu Deyi's words, Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Does the Arhat Fist have an internal strength that can be used with it?
Where can I find the cultivation method for this internal strength? "
"Bang!" Yu Deyi fell from the chair he was sitting on, causing Yu Lun to quickly help him up. He carefully patted the dust off his body and said with a charming smile: "Young Master Yu, you should be careful. There's no need to make such a big fuss when talking to this servant."
Yu Deyi carefully sat down on the chair and used his hands to grip the chair tightly. He threw his folding fan onto the table and solemnly said: "This Zhang Xiaohua is a strange person. The questions he asks are too shocking and his thinking is too far ahead. I have no choice but to be careful when dealing with him."
Then he turned his face towards Zhang Xiaohua and solemnly said: "This little brother, for you to be able to ask this kind of question, it shows that you are an idiot who has never practiced martial arts!!
As everyone knows, the Arhat Fist was passed down from the Dalin Temple and is now widely practiced in the Jianghu. Its status in the Jianghu is similar to Zhang San's status in the Jianghu. It is so 'famous'. How can this kind of cabbage like martial arts fist technique be paired with a profound internal strength?
As for internal strength, what is internal strength?
It is something that only the upper echelons of the Jianghu can have a glimpse of. It is the jewel on the crown of martial arts and is rarely circulated in the Jianghu. All kinds of internal strength cultivation methods are treasured by various sects and are only passed down to their core disciples. If you want to find an internal strength cultivation method to practice, you are simply dreaming.
Moreover, even if you obtain an internal strength cultivation method, you may not be able to practice it. "
Zhang Xiaohua was once again dumbstruck as he muttered: "Why?"
Yu Deyi was immensely proud of himself as he fiddled with it and said: "There are millions of people in the world and everyone's aptitude is different. Although this internal strength cultivation method can be seen by everyone, there are very few people who can successfully practice it and obtain internal strength. Think about it, if internal strength was easy to cultivate, then the internal strength cultivation method wouldn't be in such high demand."
Li Jinfeng was listening from the side and was also flabbergasted. He interrupted and said: "If Young Master Yu didn't say it, I really wouldn't have known that martial arts were so profound. Everyone's aptitude is different and their opportunities are different. There are thousands of weak waters and I can only take one ladle. That's enough, that's enough. Studying literature is still better. With one scroll in hand, I have everything in the world."
Zhang Xiaohua had originally been a bit dispirited by Yu Deyi's words, but this "I can only take one ladle out of thousands of weak waters" woke him up. He hadn't even learned his fist technique yet. If he could completely understand his fist technique, then he could consider the matter of internal strength.
Beside him, Yu Lun also said: "Young Master Yu's words are very clever. This one has never had the chance to see the true appearance of this pearl, so I entered the Lotus Flower Escort Agency to see if there are any opportunities here. If there's time in the future, I hope that Young Master Yu can lend me a helping hand."
Yu Deyi looked at Yu Lun but didn't reply. What a joke, the internal strength cultivation method was a secret within the sect and also within the family. How could he let others casually look at it?
However, it was said that this Lotus Flower Escort Agency's martial arts training hall also had a few simple cultivation methods for outstanding students to choose from. This was still something that could be considered. Looking at Yu Lun's bewitching smile, Yu Deyi slowly nodded his head.
Seeing Yu Deyi's gesture, Yu Lun was overjoyed. He hurriedly picked up the folding fan from the table, carefully opened it, and began fanning Yu Deyi with all his might. Seeing this, Shangguan Yun secretly despised him in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua opened his mouth again: "Young Master Yu, since you've already brought up the matter of internal strength, then I'll represent my second brother and accept your challenge. We'll have a match of fist techniques. How about it?"
Yu Deyi stared blankly and said in astonishment: "Zhang Xiaohua, what do you mean by this?
You didn't agree when I discussed it with you earlier. Now that I've stopped mentioning it, you actually want to agree. Why is this? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled mysteriously and said: "Since my second brother can practice a fist technique to this day, then he must have his own understanding of this fist technique. Moreover, to be able to fight against other escorts and not lose, he must be able to lift something heavy as if it were light. With such a good sparring partner like you guiding him in his fist technique, I reckon that he can't ask for anything more. Why should I stop him?"
"Hahaha."
Yu Deyi laughed and said: "You're right. I'm sure that when that Zhang Xiaohu hears that I've challenged him, he'll be eager to give it a try. Let's go, we'll go find him. You lead the way."
After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaohua didn't move. He couldn't help but frown and say: "What's wrong?
You don't dare to? "
Zhang Xiaohua embarrassedly said: "This is my second time coming to the Lotus Flower Escort Agency. How would I know where second brother is?" She had an innocent look on her face.
Yu Lun hurriedly said: "I know. I'll lead everyone over."
After he finished speaking, he returned the folding fan to Yu Deyi and made a hand gesture, inviting Yu Deyi to move forward. Yu Deyi didn't stand on ceremony and took the folding fan. With a "shua" sound, he opened it and fanned himself out. Looking at his confident and unrestrained figure, Zhang Xiaohua secretly said: "If we're comparing elegance, second brother probably isn't your opponent."
The escorts didn't live in this courtyard. Zhang Xiaohua followed them out and after two courtyards, they arrived at the courtyard where the escorts lived. The houses in this courtyard were clearly more simple and crude. It wasn't as exquisite as the ones in the martial arts hall. It seemed that there was a fundamental difference between paying and being free.
Zhang Xiaohu was now a famous person. When everyone said that they were looking for Zhang Xiaohu, the people in the courtyard all knew where he was. Someone had already led them to the front of a small house. The door was closed. Zhang Xiaohua went up and lightly knocked on the door. A familiar voice sounded from inside: "Who is it?"
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't wait to open the door and called out: "Second brother."
Zhang Xiaohu ran into the house. The house was quite spacious. He was sitting in a horse stance with his arms crossed. It seemed that he was trying to figure out a move. When he heard Zhang Xiaohua's voice and saw him running into the house, he immediately stopped and happily shouted: "Xiaohua, haha, it's you. Come here quickly. I missed you so much."
After he finished speaking, he hugged Zhang Xiaohua who was rushing over. The two brothers hadn't seen each other since they broke up a month ago. Zhang Xiaohua's unexpected visit really gave Zhang Xiaohu a big surprise. After hugging his younger brother for a while, he let go of his arms. Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's slightly chubby face, Zhang Xiaohu felt a little relieved. If he really lost weight, then Zhang Xiaohu would feel guilty.
Seeing that the two brothers had chatted for a while, Li Jinfeng went forward to greet them: "Zhang Xiaohu, nice to meet you. Do you still remember me?"
Zhang Xiaohu then noticed the group of people who had walked in from outside. He smiled and said: "Of course I know you. You came to Ping Yang City in the same carriage as us brothers. How can you not know?
But, who is this? "
Yu Deyi walked forward and said: "I am Yu Deyi from the martial arts dojo. I have heard of Brother Zhang's great name for a long time."
"Martial arts dojo?" Zhang Xiaohu was a little puzzled. Why was this person with Xiaohua?
Beside him, Yu Lun hurriedly explained: "Zhang Xiaohu, this is Young Master Yu. Young Master Shangguan and I are now practicing martial arts at the martial arts dojo. We have been in the escort agency for so long and only just found out that you are here. That's why we came to visit you now. My apologies, my apologies."
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "So you are all brothers from the escort agency. Don't stand on ceremony. I also didn't know that you were at the martial arts dojo. Otherwise, I would have gone to look for you long ago.
Come, come, take a seat, take a seat. "
However, he immediately felt awkward. Although the room was spacious, there was only one chair in the corner. Where was everyone supposed to sit?
They couldn't all sit on the kang bed.
Zhang Xiaohu scratched his head.
Yu Deyi said: "I won't sit. I am not here to reminisce today. I want to spar with Brother Zhang. I will wait outside."
With that, he turned and walked out. Shangguan Yun and Yu Lun also cupped their hands and followed.
Only Li Jinfeng, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu were left behind.
Zhang Xiaohua apologetically told Zhang Xiaohu what had happened. She then said: "Second Brother, was it inappropriate for me to do this?
I have made things difficult for you. "
Xiaohu patted Xiaohua's shoulder and said, "Xiaohua, you've grown up. You've done well. If I were you, I would do the same. Practicing martial arts is all about 'aura'. Even if I lose, I can't lose my aura. I would definitely accept this kind of provocation. Moreover, I've been studying this fist technique for the past few days and have gained some insights. I was just about to find someone to test it on. Yu Deyi came at the right time, hehe.
Haha, let's go and see the fist technique of the martial arts dojo. "
With that, he took Zhang Xiaohua's hand and walked out of the room together.
There was no sign of Yu Deyi and the others outside the room. They must have gone to the martial arts arena.
When the three of them arrived at the arena, there were already many people gathered there. It seemed that the news of Zhang Xiaohu and Yu Deyi's match had spread. There were even more people coming here.
Zhang Xiaohu and the others squeezed into the crowd and said: "Make way, make way. If I don't go in, you will all be sunbathing here."
When Zhang Xiaohu squeezed into the middle of the crowd, he was already sweating profusely. Zhang Xiaohua could not help but sigh. This martial art was at the end of the line. No matter how much you practiced, you could only fight against a hundred people. Only by winning the hearts of people could you be considered a profound martial art. If you used the human wave tactic, even if you fought against a hundred people or a thousand people, you would still be defeated. Just look at Second Brother's sorry state after squeezing through the crowd.
