Chapter 97
Zhang Xiaohu gave some instructions and left. After all, he was still an escort in the escort agency and had to do roll call every day. Although he was a newbie and didn't have any missions for the time being and didn't have to travel far like the bodyguards, there were still many things to be done in the escort agency. He had to pay more attention and there was still a lot to learn. Moreover, he was paid monthly, so how could he not show up?
After Zhang Xiaohu left, the room became quiet.
Zhang Xiaohua was still a teenager and it had been a long time since he had slept so quietly. Unfortunately, the pain in his right hand was a constant reminder. Zhang Xiaohua wanted to sleep a little longer, but unfortunately, he would close his eyes and open them again. After opening his eyes and wanting to close them again, he simply didn't want to sleep anymore. Staring straight at the ceiling, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think of his own fist techniques.
During the battle between Zhang Xiaohu and Yu Deyi yesterday, although Zhang Xiaohu couldn't fight back against Yu Deyi's inner force, if it was purely based on fist techniques, Yu Deyi didn't have much of an advantage over Zhang Xiaohu. Thinking of Yu Deyi's ferocious inner force, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel envious.
Zhang Xiaohu only saw the incomparably fast speed of the purple palm and didn't come into contact with the inner force. However, Zhang Xiaohua clearly felt it and felt the invincible force from the palm when the fist came into contact with the palm. It was like a surging wave that surged into his fist. Then, everything that blocked it was destroyed and he was sent flying by the impact of the inner force. Zhang Xiaohua could still remember the feeling of the inner force entering his body before he fainted. Although Zhang Xiaohua didn't practice martial arts much, he knew that this wasn't an effect that could be achieved by pure strength.
Moreover, after Yu Deyi used her inner force, the lightness skill that she displayed caught Zhang Xiaohu off guard. All of this was based on inner force. Thinking further, when Hero Wen and Heroine Xue left, they must have used lightness skill. If they didn't have inner force, they wouldn't have been able to use it.
Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but have a burst of longing. When would he be able to practice the true mental cultivation method of inner force?
However, according to Yu Deyi and Shangguan Yun yesterday, it was impossible for a martial arts practitioner without a background like himself to have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of secret manual.
"Sigh." Zhang Xiaohua sighed. It was better to think about how he could learn the fist technique first.
If he couldn't even learn the basic fist technique, even if Yu Deyi were to teach him, he would still have to disappoint her.
In fact, if Zhang Xiaohua knew that Yu Deyi had already retracted a portion of her inner force and didn't go all out during the fight with him, he didn't know if he would still have the confidence to continue practicing the fist technique.
In fact, when he met Li Jinfeng and heard that Zhang Xiaohu only practiced one set of Liuhe Boxing, Zhang Xiaohua already had a vague idea. However, he kept delaying and didn't think about it carefully. Now that he was injured, it was a good opportunity to think about how he could learn the fist technique.
His aptitude was not as good as his second brother, Zhang Xiaohu. According to Team Leader He, his aptitude was not ordinary. Under such circumstances, he had to use a hundred times more time and effort to practice than others. However, he didn't know what was wrong with his brain. When he was tested in school when he was young, the teacher said that he wasn't very stupid. Why did he forget everything when he practiced the fist technique?
However, fortunately, he could remember some moves. Moreover, it seemed that he was born with these moves and didn't forget them. Otherwise, if he practiced one set and then forgot the other, he wouldn't be able to play the game of drawing water with a bamboo basket every day.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua naturally thought of the fist technique taught by Team Leader He, Nie Xiao 'er, and the other two. Those moves that he had memorized flowed through his mind like water. Any move was as clear as a pebble in clear water. As for the moves that he forgot, he forgot. He didn't have the slightest impression of them.
It was really strange.
Zhang Xiaohua practiced martial arts with the people in Huanxi Villa and learned many sets of fist techniques. However, he could only remember about 85 moves. These moves came from different fist techniques and were not related to each other. Even several moves in a set of fist techniques were not connected. Usually, when Zhang Xiaohua practiced several moves in a set of fist techniques, he just randomly and rigidly connected them. Even Team Leader He curled his lips and shook his head when he saw this.
Now, these 85 moves were flowing in his mind. Slowly, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little dizzy and sleepy. Involuntarily, the order of these moves was a little chaotic. Suddenly, in the chaotic moves, two moves were connected very tightly. This unintentional moment made Zhang Xiaohua feel refreshed and awake. When he paid attention again, the two moves had disappeared.
This little accident suddenly set off a storm in his mind. What was going on?
It was obviously not a set of fist techniques. How could the moves in a set of fist techniques be connected perfectly?
Was it his illusion, or was there another reason?
The more Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but want to practice the moves, but he forgot that he was still lying on the kang and his right hand was still in a splint. For a moment, he touched his injury and the piercing pain came as expected. It was so painful that he cried out.
At this time, an anxious voice sounded outside the door. "Xiaohua, what's wrong?
Is it starting to hurt again? "
When he looked up, Zhang Xiaohu had already run into the hut. Zhang Xiaohua looked at his second brother and said with a grin, "It's nothing, second brother. I accidentally touched my injury just now."
"Alas, why are you so careless?"
Zhang Xiaohu complained to Zhang Xiaohua. He carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and said, "When we left this morning, I told you to be careful. How could you forget? Don't let your bones grow crooked."
"Hehe, I'll be careful in the future."
Seeing his second brother nagging like a mother, Zhang Xiaohua felt very warm and hurriedly comforted Zhang Xiaohu.
However, Zhang Xiaohua then asked Zhang Xiaohu in puzzlement, "Second brother, you just went out for a while. Why are you back so soon?
Is the escort agency alright? "
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "I've only been at the agency for a month or so. I'm still a newbie, so there's nothing much to do. I'm mainly familiarizing myself with the agency. Because I'm good at fist techniques, Sixth Master Li told me to focus on practicing and rarely looks for me for other matters. Now that he knows that you're injured, he's very reasonable and told me to take care of you. Moreover, Third Master Qu even agreed to let me study at the martial arts center last night. Perhaps Sixth Master Li also knew about it, so he didn't give me much work today.
So I came back to see you. "Zhang Xiaohua said," That's good. You can practice in the hut. When I came in yesterday, you seemed to have been thinking in the hut.
Oh right, Second brother, what kind of work do you escorts usually do? "
Zhang Xiaohu smiled wryly and said, "We're just escorts, not bodyguards. Our status in the agency is just a little higher than the servants. We have to do all kinds of work, and there's no way we can be picky. Oh, what about you?
I wanted to ask you yesterday, but I didn't have time. What were you doing at Huan Xi Manor? "
"Why don't you guess?" Zhang Xiaohua asked Zhang Xiaohu mischievously.
"What's there to guess? I remember when Miss Qiu Tong took you away last time, she said that you were planting medicinal herbs?"
Zhang Xiaohua said in annoyance, "Why are you still asking when you already know?"
"I just wanted to ask if it was really planting medicinal herbs. Are you tired of working there?" Zhang Xiaohu said innocently.
"Not tired, not tired. Second brother, it's about the same as the crops at home, and it's very relaxing.
Oh right, how's the food at the agency?
Our manor … "Zhang Xiaohua talked non-stop about her life after they parted. She told her second brother everything about her life at the manor.
Zhang Xiaohu was filled with joy when he heard this. He was originally worried that his younger brother would be bullied in an unfamiliar place. However, it seemed that he had worried too much. Ma Jing and the others' little tricks were just fertilizers for his younger brother's growth. That feces was extremely smelly, but it was precious fertilizer for the growth of the crops. Without other people's little schemes, how could his younger brother grow so quickly?
Thinking back, Zhang Xiaohua's arms had nearly five hundred kilograms of strength. It would be a miracle if he didn't go and bully others. Why should he worry about him?
Perhaps this was another explanation for his mother's worries when her son traveled a thousand miles.
However, when he heard that He Tianshu from the Misty School was teaching Zhang Xiaohua fist techniques, he was stunned and said, "Xiaohua, there's such a good thing?
Someone called you out for free, and you don't even need to work for them? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I said Sister Qiu Tong is so good. Oh right, that Sister Manor Head is even better. I've never seen her before, and she even had someone teach me fist techniques. If there's a chance in the future, I must properly thank her. Oh right, after I finish learning the fist techniques, I'll go and see Sister Manor Head and thank her in person. I also want to learn from Li Jinfeng.
I must thank her for her kindness. "When he thought that Zhang Xiaohua would never be able to practice fist techniques in this lifetime, Zhang Xiaohu felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. However, he couldn't bear to disturb his younger brother's mood, so he held back his tears and said," Alright, Xiaohua. If there's a grudge, there's an eye for an eye, and a debt for a debt of gratitude. Second brother will wait for the day when you finish learning the fist techniques. "After he finished speaking, he patted Zhang Xiaohua's head and got up to get something to hide his tears.
Zhang Xiaohua spoke happily and naturally didn't notice his second brother's abnormality. He said, "Perhaps, I might not be able to finish learning the fist techniques."
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and quickly turned around to say, "Xiaohua, don't worry about your injury. The doctor said that you'll be fine after resting for a while. When the time comes, you'll be able to practice the fist techniques again."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "That's not it, Second brother. I also heard what the doctor said yesterday. This injury will only take a few more days to rest, but, but …"
Zhang Xiaohu anxiously said, "But what?"
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua's pale face flushed red and said, "Second brother, my aptitude isn't as good as yours. After learning the fist techniques for a month, I can defeat an armed escort who has been learning for several years. The fist techniques that I'm learning are incomplete, and I can only learn a few moves in one set."
When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, his heart settled and he said, "That's nothing. I'm only good at fist techniques. They didn't use internal energy to fight me. If it was a real fight, how could I be their opponent?
Ai, this internal energy cultivation method.
Also, if your aptitude is poor, it's fine. Just practice more. If others practice once, then practice ten times. If it's not enough, then practice twenty times. A hundred times. I don't believe that you can't master it! "
Hearing her second brother's high spirited words, Zhang Xiaohua still said embarrassedly, "Second brother, you don't understand. Even if I practice a hundred times, when I wake up the next day, I'll still forget everything."
"Ah?
Is there such a thing?
You really practiced a hundred times? "Zhang Xiaohu was really puzzled.
"Not a hundred times. I've practiced forty to fifty times, but I just can't remember." Zhang Xiaohua said gloomily.
"That's really a strange thing. I heard that for these ordinary fist techniques, even if a normal person practiced ten times, they would still be able to roughly remember them."
"But, Second brother, there's also a strange thing."
"What's strange?"
"That's right. No matter what fist technique it is, as long as I practice it once, when I wake up the next day, I'll remember as much as I can. I won't forget it again. But even if I practice it fifty times, I won't be able to remember a single move."
Zhang Xiaohu's heart moved and he said, "So it's like this. Xiaohua, maybe you're really not suitable for practicing martial arts. How about this, when you're better, don't practice martial arts anymore. How about you do something else?
How about you take care of flowers and plant grass? In any case, Huan Xi Mountain Villa needs such technical talents. "
"No, Second brother. The treatment of technical talents depends on the Villa Master's vision. If she doesn't like you, your treatment will be lower. Moreover, I heard that after retirement, the standard of monthly salary is not as high as that of strength type. I think I'd better practice more. If the monthly salary given by Huan Xi Mountain Villa is good, then I'll stay there until I retire. Otherwise, I'll find a place to jump ship." Zhang Xiaohua was full of confidence.
(It's just a joke. Please don't mind it.)
Zhang Xiaohu saw that Zhang Xiaohua was determined, so he didn't dare to persuade him. He was afraid that he would know that his injury was very serious. He said, "Then it's up to you. However, it's always good to learn more. The current medical insurance and pension system is not complete. It's better to consider more for yourself."
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "I know, Second brother. By the way, I just found out … Forget it. Let's talk about it after I figure it out."
Zhang Xiaohu saw that he wanted to say something but stopped, so he didn't ask.
However, Zhang Xiaohua asked again, "Second brother, yesterday I heard that you only practiced Liuhe Boxing. I thought you were concentrating on a set of fist techniques. I don't know if my understanding is correct?
Or do you have another reason? Can you tell me? "
Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's calm face, Zhang Xiaohu found it funny. Not to mention that this wasn't a big secret. Even if it was a big secret, how could he not tell his little brother who could no longer practice martial arts?
He said with a smile, "Xiaohua, you're right. It's better to have nothing than to have something substandard!
Actually, I've also practiced other fist techniques, such as Luohan Boxing. However, after practicing it, I found something strange. Every set of fist techniques has both defense and offense. It's just that the ratio of offense and defense is different. Moreover, the two sets of fist techniques' attack position, attack position, and defense method are similar. The only difference is the posture. So I thought, is every set of fist techniques like this?
A person's body is only so big. The attacking and defending parts are also only so big. Does every set of fist techniques attack and defend these parts? It's just that the moves are different.
Following this train of thought, I learned a few other fist techniques from others. For example, Lang Family Fist, Buddha's Palm, etc., which confirmed my guess. So, in the end, I didn't learn any other fist techniques and only focused on this Liuhe Boxing. First, this Liuhe Boxing was the first fist technique I practiced. Second, this fist technique's moves are very complicated. It covers almost all the positions that can be used for defense and offense. After learning it, other fist techniques were included as well.
Think about it. In a month, I only focused on learning this set of fist techniques. I know the moves of this Liuhe Boxing like the back of my hand.
It's better than other people learning this set and that set. The only difference is that some of the moves are different, but the effects of attack and defense don't improve at all. A lot of time is wasted on useless moves.
Actually, a real competition also proves this point. If we only compare the exquisiteness of the fist techniques, without using internal energy, just practicing this set of Liuhe Boxing is enough to compete with people who have practiced many sets of fist techniques without being at a disadvantage. "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was overwhelmed with shock. This second brother was truly a genius!
Actually, this wasn't only Zhang Xiaohua's point of view. If there was any martial arts master who heard Zhang Xiaohu's words, they would treat him as a close friend. This fist technique was nothing more than that. The various schools in the Jianghu only had different moves. When it came to the essence, it was nothing more than attack and defense. This Zhang Xiaohu, who had only entered the sect for a month, had such an understanding. He could only be described as a genius. However, this Lotus Flower Escort Agency was only a small corner of the world. How could there be a master here? It could only let this bright pearl, Zhang Xiaohu, be covered in dust.
Thinking about Zhang Xiaohu's words, they were truly insightful. However, this was Zhang Xiaohu's cultivation experience. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't use it at all. Based on his aptitude of only remembering a few moves of each set of fist techniques, how could he achieve both offense and defense?
Ai, how depressing. Why was the gap between people so big?
"However, just practicing this fist technique isn't enough."
Zhang Xiaohu continued, "On one hand, without the coordination of internal energy, this fist technique is a useless paper tiger. You also saw it yesterday. As long as Yu Deyi used her internal energy, this fist technique would immediately fall into a disadvantage. In front of absolute power, any gorgeous moves would be reduced to ashes.
On the other hand, the Six He Fists that I'm practicing is only a fist technique that is very widely spread in the Jianghu. I heard that there are many schools in the Jianghu, and the fist techniques they practice are completely different from this one. The positions of attack and defense are even more mysterious and profound. If this ordinary Six He Fists were to meet their secret fist technique, I wonder what the result would be?
Ai, I'm looking forward to it.
I wonder what kind of fist technique is taught in the Misty School that's close by? "
Zhang Xiaohu looked out of the window and was at a loss.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu's depression, Zhang Xiaohua comforted him, "Second Brother, don't be discouraged. With your aptitude, if the Misty School finds out, they will definitely take you in."
Zhang Xiaohu said, "En, I know. Xiaohua, I don't need you to comfort me. I'm already very satisfied to be able to learn this fist technique today. I don't have any more extravagant hopes."
