Chapter 99

However, when Zhang Xiaohua excitedly took the worn-out manual and flipped it open, she suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was inside? Little people were gesturing with their fists and feet, and there were many arrows drawn on the book. There were also many small words written on the side. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like they recognized her, but she didn't recognize them. How could she read it?

She had no choice but to close the manual again. Only then did she see that there were three big words written on the cover of the book. Only one of them she recognized was "Two". Zhang Xiaohua asked suspiciously, "Brother Li, what manual is this?"

Li Jinfeng smiled and pointed at the three big words. "Isn't it written on it?

Erlang Fist. "

"Oh, so it's Erlang Fist."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and thought about it. She had learned this set of fist techniques before, and she had learned two moves in it. Hence, she flipped open the manual again and searched page by page. However, those moves didn't look like they were learned by her. This was strange. Could it be that this wasn't Erlang Fist, or that she didn't learn Erlang Fist?

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua flipping through the manual and asked curiously, "Xiaohua, why are you flipping through it again and again?

Aren't you supposed to look at this manual page by page? "

Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and said, "Second Brother, I have learned this Erlang Fist before, but why can't I find the two moves that I remember?"

"Ah?!

You only remember two moves in this set of fist techniques? "Zhang Xiaohu asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on either. I can only remember two of the moves, and it seems like these two moves aren't connected together." Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly.

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "It's okay. It's good that you can remember. Look at me. I only know one set of fist techniques.

Mm, let me take a look at the manual. "

After speaking, Zhang Xiaohu took the manual from Zhang Xiaohua's hands and looked at it carefully page by page. Then, he used his hands to gesture something. After a long while, Zhang Xiaohu said, "I understand. Xiaohua, I don't know if the name recorded in this manual is Erlang Fist, but it is indeed a fist technique. Look at the first move. Isn't there an arrow pointing upwards? That means that the left hand is striking upwards. The move you remember is a series of movements from the chest to the position, so it doesn't look like any picture."

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and said, "Second Brother, what you said makes sense. Let me take a look."

And so, Zhang Xiaohua flipped through the manual a few more times. When she reached a certain part, she suddenly cried out in surprise, "Second Brother, I found it. It's this move. Mm, that's right. I remember this move. But it seems like this side of the body is a bit stronger, and the position of this fist strike is a bit lower."

When Zhang Xiaohu came over to take a look, he added, "But, this should be Erlang Fist. Captain He said that a lot of the fist techniques I remember are different from what he taught me, especially the details."

"Mm, it doesn't matter. It's good that you can fight."

Of course, Zhang Xiaohu didn't care about these details. The doctor already said that Zhang Xiaohua couldn't practice martial arts anymore, so it didn't matter what he said now.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the page and said, "Oh, you should be right. Let me show you."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohu slowly displayed the move according to the manual. Zhang Xiaohua said, "That's right, Second Brother. It's this move.

Hehe, so the manual is actually such a good thing. "

"But, what's written in this book?" Zhang Xiaohu pointed at the small words on the side and asked Li Jinfeng.

Li Jinfeng took the manual and read to the words, "Si Yi hits people like walking, looks at people like wormwood, but goes up like the sound of the wind, rises and falls like an arrow piercing through the air. The ingenuity of this is divinity. Those who don't know the true art will not be able to understand it.

Those who don't learn it orally will not be able to enter this realm.

This sect and this technique are based on righteousness. If one wants to walk the right path, the four seas of the world are open to all. Knowing one's own thoughts is based on the Five Virtues. Those who can walk the right path can walk the right path.

Some people who learn this fist technique will have their upper, middle, and lower body tied together. Their hands and feet are in sync.

If they come into contact with the opponent, once they move, their feet will move. If they want to advance, the hands and feet will advance first (the feet first, the hands second) is the most important thing. "

Zhang Xiaohu and his brother both had a headache. They asked together, "What does this mean?"

Thus, Li Jinfeng guessed the literal meaning and explained it to them. Zhang Xiaohua lowered her head and didn't say anything. She thought for a bit and said, "When Captain He taught me these words, he seemed to have said it before. But, I don't remember it clearly."

That's right. How much did Zhang Xiaohua remember?

Zhang Xiaohu praised, "It's really good to have this manual. It's like having a master by your side teaching you."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything. She lowered her head and thought about something. Then, she looked up at Li Jinfeng and said, "Brother Li, I want to learn how to read. Can you teach me?"

Li Jinfeng was very puzzled. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua's bright eyes and said with expectation, "Xiaohua, why do you suddenly want to learn how to read?

Oh, do you want to look at this manual yourself? "

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Li. You're studying literature, so you might not know. It's very difficult to find a martial arts master to teach you fist techniques. Moreover, my aptitude for fist techniques is not good. I can't learn every set of fist techniques. I don't think there's a master willing to teach me. If I want to practice more fist techniques, I can only learn by myself. But I don't know the words on this manual. If I practice it wrongly, it won't do. So, I want to learn how to read from you.

So, what do you think? "Li Jinfeng said," No problem, Xiaohua. Anyway, you've been resting on the kang bed during this time. I gave you the manual to help you pass the time. If you can read, on one hand, you'll gain experience and on the other hand, you'll kill two birds with one stone. How can I not agree?

But … "

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said, "But what, Brother Li."

Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua's anxious appearance and smiled, saying, "There's no problem in teaching you how to read. We'll start in a moment. What I said is that if you only rely on the manual to practice, you'll only be building a cart behind closed doors. It won't be as good as a master's teaching. After all, a master has practiced this fist technique himself. As the saying goes, 'true knowledge comes from practice'. Without a master's teaching, won't you suffer from qi deviation?"

"Suffer from qi deviation?

Ah, then what should I do? "Zhang Xiaohua was speechless.

To the side, Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter, Xiaohua. First, learn how to read. First, learn this Erlang Fist manual and see if there's any difference between it and your own. You can slowly experience it. As for the matter of qi deviation, I think that when you learn a new fist technique, I'll go find an escort or someone who has learned this fist technique before. First, I'll ask if there's anything to pay attention to. Presumably, it'll be much safer."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Second Brother's idea is really good. En, I'll start learning how to read now."

Zhang Xiaohua was so happy that he forgot himself and couldn't help but move his body. "Aiya!" A piercing pain came and Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but cry out.

Zhang Xiaohu and Li Jinfeng hurriedly walked to the kang bed. They didn't dare to touch Zhang Xiaohua's injured arm and only held him down, saying, "Be careful, don't move around. If your fingers grow crooked, you won't be able to practice your fist technique."

And so, while Zhang Xiaohua was resting, he began his journey of learning how to read.

Li Jinfeng was also a person who liked teaching others. He was very happy to have such a large student and was actually in high spirits. Every two days, he would come to disturb Zhang Xiaohu once. This annoyed Zhang Xiaohu a little. However, Li Jinfeng was kind enough to teach his younger brother for free, so Zhang Xiaohu couldn't say anything. He had no choice but to change the place where he practiced his fist technique to the escort agency's plaza. The way he practiced his fist technique was a little different from other people's and sometimes there would be a lot of people coming to watch. It was really strange.

On this day, Zhang Xiaohu was practicing in the plaza and was a little impatient. He was just about to finish when someone suddenly ran over and said that the Third Master Qu had invited him to the martial arts center.

Zhang Xiaohu was surprised and then overjoyed. He guessed that it was about going to the martial arts center to practice. He hurriedly thanked the person who came, tidied up, and went to the backyard.

The Third Master Qu's house was on the side of the martial arts center. It was also an abode. At this time, Yu Deyi was chatting with the Third Master Qu.

She heard the Third Master Qu ask Yu Deyi with concern, "Deyi, how is your internal injury?"

Yu Deyi said, "Thank you for your concern, Granpa Qu. I'm almost fully recovered."

The Third Master Qu looked at Yu Deyi's rosy face and nodded, saying, "The path of practicing internal strength is particular about avoiding arrogance and impatience. It has to be done step by step. You have always been impatient, so I'm afraid there will be setbacks.

As the saying goes, 'To be a man is to practice martial arts'. If you want to learn martial arts well, you must first be a good person. Otherwise, it will be easy to draw water with a bamboo basket. "

Yu Deyi hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you Uncle for your guidance."

Then, the Third Master Qu said, "Deyi, this time you did not do well in your competition with Zhang Xiaohu. Zhang Xiaohu is just a new bodyguard. No matter how high his martial arts are or how good his aptitude is, compared to you, he is still far inferior. Why can't you see other people's vanity?

Fine, you can teach him a lesson. But why did you use your internal strength in a fist competition?

This is a big taboo in a competition. It will be looked down upon by the people of Jianghu. Fortunately, this is an escort agency's matter and outsiders don't know about it. Otherwise, it will affect your reputation. You must be careful in the future. "

Yu Deyi's face turned red and said, "Granpa Qu, didn't I just get used to it? I forgot everything around me and used the Purple Sand Palm. You also know that I have practiced the Purple Sand Palm for over twenty years. I am used to it. Sometimes, I use it unconsciously."

The Third Master Qu said, "Yes, that makes sense. However, this Zhang Xiaohu actually forced you to use the Purple Sand Palm. That is quite interesting. I want to see how far he can go.

Yes, what do you think of this person? "

Yu Deyi thought for a moment and said, "From the exchange of fists, I can see that he does have some real skills. He was able to understand the essence of the Six Joint Fists when he just started learning it. He even has his own understanding of it. He is a talent that can be nurtured.

However, this fists without internal strength is like a tiger without teeth. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking back, when I used my internal strength, Zhang Xiaohu was as clumsy as a baby whether it was in terms of speed or strength. "

The Third Master Qu snorted and said, "He naturally can't be compared to you. You have been practicing the Purple Sand Palm passed down in your family since you were young. You have been immersed in it for decades. It would be strange if you couldn't beat him. Fortunately, that palm of yours was blocked by his younger brother. If it had landed on his chest, he would have died long ago and you would have been involved in a lawsuit.

Although killing is not a taboo in the Jianghu, it is not right to kill someone in broad daylight in Ping Yang City. Although it is not a big deal, it can cause trouble for your father, right? "

Yu Deyi hurriedly stood up again and said, "Deyi understands. Thank you for your advice, Uncle."

The Third Master Qu stroked his beard and said, "Fortunately, his younger brother punched in time. Your control of your internal strength was good and you retracted it at the right time. You risked your own internal injuries and didn't make a big mistake. At least you handled it well."

At this moment, Yu Deyi had a strange expression on her face and said, "Granpa Qu, I still know how to control my internal strength. If I had simply retracted it myself, I definitely wouldn't have suffered internal injuries."

"Oh?" The Third Master Qu was a little puzzled and asked, "Could there be other inside information?"

After that, the Third Master Qu slapped his head and said, "Oh right, how could I forget? This is Zhang Xiaohu's younger brother. When he came to the escort agency with him for the test, he lifted a five hundred kilogram stone weight. No wonder you suffered internal injuries. The force from his fist rushed into your body and definitely disrupted your meridians."

Yu Deyi said with lingering fear, "Yes, when that force rushed into my palm, I was so scared that my soul almost flew out of my body. Luckily, it was pure strength. If it was internal strength, it would have invaded my meridians while I was retracting my internal strength. I wouldn't have suffered such internal injuries."

The Third Master Qu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Now you don't have to worry. His younger brother's palm has been crippled and he can't practice martial arts in this life. Just relying on the innate strength of his left hand, he won't be able to do much. What a pity.

However, I heard from the people in Huan Xi Manor that his aptitude is worse than the average person. He learned fist techniques from a person in the manor called He Tianshu. After a month of learning, he didn't even manage to learn a complete set of fist techniques. He's really stupid. With his palm crippled, he can't practice martial arts. It can't be said that it's a pity. Perhaps there will be other opportunities.

Yu Deyi didn't quite believe it and asked, "This person's aptitude is that bad?

His older brother is pretty much a genius. "

The Third Master Qu smiled and said, "I heard it from a disciple of the Misty School who was with them. It shouldn't be wrong. I originally thought that he was a rare innate strength and had a bright future. I felt that it was a pity.

But after hearing this, I … "

Just as he was speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. The Third Master Qu asked, "Who is it?"

The person outside the door replied, "I'm Zhang Xiaohu, Third Master Qu. You asked me to come right?"

When the Third Master Qu heard this, he exchanged glances with Yu Deyi and said loudly, "Zhang Xiaohu, come in quickly."

Zhang Xiaohu pushed the door open and entered the room. When he saw Yu Deyi in the room, he was slightly shocked. He first greeted the Third Master Qu and then Yu Deyi.

Yu Deyi hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Zhang Xiaohu, I haven't seen you for a few days. How is your brother's injury?

I've been recuperating in my room for the past few days and didn't have time to visit. Please forgive me. "

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said: "It's fine, my brother's recovery is also very good. These few days, he doesn't feel as much pain as before, so he should be fine soon. Young Master Yu, you don't need to worry too much.

But how is Young Master Yu's body? "

Yu Deyi smiled and said, "Thanks to Brother Zhang, he's getting better day by day. He can go out today. Quickly go to the Third Master Qu to receive your punishment."

The Third Master Qu continued, "That's right. Yu Deyi just kept telling me that it was his fault. But, Zhang Xiaohu, swords and spears have no eyes. It's hard to avoid mistakes in martial arts. I hope you can forgive him."

Zhang Xiaohu said, "Third Master Qu, Young Master Yu, please don't worry. My brother and I both understand this principle, especially Xiaohua. He doesn't have the slightest bit of resentment, so there's no need to talk about forgiveness."

"Hahaha." The Third Master Qu laughed out loud and said, "Zhang Xiaohu, you and Yu Deyi will both be the backbone of the Lotus Flower Escort Agency in the future. There will be many collaborations between the two of you. I'm also very happy to see that the two of you have buried the hatchet."

Zhang Xiaohu and Yu Deyi also laughed on the side.

Then, the three of them sat down.

The Third Master Qu said, "Zhang Xiaohu, I asked you to come over this time because I wanted to tell you that I've already taken care of the matters at Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Your brother can stay at Huan Xi Mountain Villa and work there in the future. As long as he's willing, he can work there for as long as he wants. I had to risk my old face to find their Mountain Villa Lord to agree."

Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly stood up and said, "Then I'll have to thank the Third Master Qu."

The Third Master Qu said, "It's what I should do. Quickly sit down."

After Zhang Xiaohu sat down, he continued, "For now, let your brother recuperate at the escort agency. It won't be too late to go back when his injuries get better.

As for your matter, I've already discussed it with Old Sixth Li. Tomorrow, you can come to the Martial Arts Training Hall to listen to lectures and practice martial arts. However, you still have to work as an escort. If there's anything to do, you still have to go out. But if you don't have anything to do, you can stay at the Martial Arts Training Hall to study. What do you think? "

Zhang Xiaohu was overjoyed and said, "That's really too much trouble for the Third Master Qu."

The Third Master Qu smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's my good fortune to be able to find a martial arts genius like you in the escort agency. In the future, our escort agency will rely on you young people."

Zhang Xiaohu and Yu Deyi hurriedly said, "We don't dare. We still have to rely on the guidance of the elders."

Then, the Third Master Qu encouraged Zhang Xiaohu with a few words and let him go back.

However, when Zhang Xiaohu stood up, he bowed to the Third Master Qu and said, "Third Master Qu, there's something else that I don't know if I should say."

The Third Master Qu smiled and said, "There's no harm in saying it."

Zhang Xiaohu said, "Isn't my little brother recuperating in bed? He's bored and wants to find some martial arts manuals to read, but I don't know where to find them for him. I heard that there are some martial arts manuals in the Martial Arts Training Hall. Do you think you can lend some to him to read?"

The Third Master Qu lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "This can be done. This child is so eager to learn, we must support him. I'll write a note for you to take. You can borrow whatever you want, as long as he likes to read it. However, you must remind him not to spread it around, understand?"

Zhang Xiaohu was wild with joy. He took the Third Master Qu's note and left happily after thanking him profusely.
