Chapter 13 The devil walks into the fire, Lu Zhu and Xiaoyu
"Grandmaster?"
Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with disbelief.
When Xu Xing defeated the three masters of Black Stone head-on with one against three, he had also demonstrated the physical fitness of a master and his extraordinary adaptability.
But it was obvious that Xu Xing had not yet reached the threshold of being a master at that time. How could he have such a big breakthrough in just a few days?
Xiaoyu remembered that King Chakravartin once said that if you want to develop your own boxing style and become a master, you must have extraordinary life experience, be able to distinguish right from wrong without doubts, and only then can you stick to your own way.
Therefore, if the masters of the past dynasties did not have earth-shattering experiences, they would have to be more than thirty years old and close to the age of immortality, that is, around the age of thirty or forty, before they can finally achieve success.
The man in front of me is obviously a young man in his twenties. How could he have such earth-shattering experiences? How could he break the rules of martial arts? !
While Xiao Yu was still unwilling to accept the reality and was thinking hard about how Xu Xing did it, Shen Yishi was already thinking about what impact this new boxing master would have on the situation in the southeast.
Boxing master, what is that concept?
In the entire Ming Dynasty, the number of martial artists who practiced martial arts was like a crucian carp crossing the river, and the number of skilled boxers was probably in the millions. What a huge number is this?
But among them, there are probably not even twenty strong men who can be called masters, covertly or covertly.
If the Great Boxer is a powerful weapon on the battlefield, then the Grandmaster is the strategic deterrent weapon of this era.
If there is no equally powerful person, then a fully armed grandmaster will be uncontrollable on the battlefield. He can hit him whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants. There is no way he can stop him.
The reason why Zhu Tiandu was able to conquer the four seas, roar proudly across the five oceans, and even subdue the entire Japanese slave country, so that the Japanese slaves supported him with all their strength.
Isn't it because he has extremely powerful and unpredictable boxing skills?
The Taizhou camp was able to withstand Zhu Tiandu's offensive, to a large extent, because there were two grandmasters "Yu Long" and "Qi Hu" sitting in the military tent, and they were not afraid of Zhu Tiandu and his grandmaster-level Yi. Zi sneaked into the assassination.
Why could Lian Sheng, a half-step master who had failed to break through, let Mr. Xiaoge, who was sitting in the center and a highly respected minister, take action himself?
It is also because it is difficult to become a grandmaster. After all, Yan Shifan is a courageous and decisive person. Since there is a slim chance of becoming a grandmaster, this little pavilion elder will never be stingy.
All these examples illustrate how valuable a master is.
Shen Yishi is a businessman. He knows very well that the essence of doing business is to buy low and sell high, and the biggest factor affecting price is demand.
This demand naturally depends on the current situation. In times of peace and prosperity, treasures and antiques are hard to come by, but in times of war and chaos, food is naturally the most important thing.
At this time, he naturally and inevitably reasoned, what kind of changes could a new boxing master bring to the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles?
Thinking of this, Shen Yishi made a certain determination in his heart. He took a step back, solemnly raised his hands and bowed:
"I came in a hurry today. I didn't expect the owner Xu to come here. Shen is here. I would like to congratulate the owner first."
After knowing Xu Xing's current level of boxing, Shen Yishi no longer dared to use the slightly affectionate title of "Tafa" and changed it back to "Xu Hall Master" with an extremely respectful attitude.
When he wasn't doing anything, Xu Xing had always been an easy-going person who respected me a foot and I respected others a foot. Seeing how solemn Shen Yishi was, he quickly lifted him up.
"Boss Shen is an old friend of my uncle, and he is also considered an elder of Xu. Why bother? Just ask me to follow the law. Please come in and talk."
Seeing Xu Xing's attitude, Shen Yishi naturally followed the good deeds.
After entering the martial arts hall, Shen Yishi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at the disciples who were practicing their moves.
Today, the situation in the southeast is chaotic, with natural and man-made disasters occurring simultaneously, and refugees rising everywhere.
If Xu Xingruo really wanted to rise up, use the banner of Yue Duhai, and use these people as the backbone to gather the refugees, he would be able to form a team in an instant.
By then, with his boxing skills, even if he is corrupted, it is not impossible.
However, even though he had not had much contact with him, Shen Yishi could still tell that although Grandmaster Xiao Xu was lawless and cruel, he was still a principled and bottom-line person at heart.
Even if such people rise up, they will only swing their swords at the strong and attack the government and pirates. They will not bully the weak or burn, kill and loot the remnants of the people.
Xu Xing turned around while leading the way. He originally wanted to talk to Shen Yishi about the layout of the southeast, but as soon as he saw Xiao Yu's walking posture, his habit of being a teacher relapsed.
In the past three days, he has been almost crazy in order to create a boxing technique that suits him, and he has been immersed in martial arts.
If you think about it, you will know that if an ordinary boxer practices boxing to the point of self-injury, he is already playing with fire, and practicing to death is called going crazy.
Xu Xing has trained himself to death nine times. How persistent is this?
You know, although the death of Mirror Shadow will only consume the mind and not cause physical injuries, the pain is still real.
But Xu Xing enjoyed it as if it were sweet rice and didn't care.
This is not just an obsession, it is simply an obsession!
Therefore, when Xu Xing saw a boxer with obvious flaws like Xiao Yu, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, from head to toe, and wished he could help her correct it immediately.
In fact, in the past three days, many disciples, including Qi Dazhu, have suffered from Xu Xing's "venomous tongue" and even "venomous hands".
Many people have also realized from this that when it comes to boxing, this seemingly easy-going gym owner will be extremely strict and can't get a grain of sand out of his eyes.
Fortunately, Xu Xing still had sense and knew not to say too much to these apprentices, so he simply ran outside the martial arts hall to practice, out of sight and out of mind.
Now that I finally saw a drizzle, Xu Xing's long-suppressed desire to comment immediately burst out, and he opened his mouth and said:
"The little girl has a good foundation for fighting, but her strength is too strong. Using a soft sword filled with mercury, she can use both hard and soft skills, which is also a wonderful idea.
You should have gotten that sword from the very beginning of your martial arts practice and have been inseparable from then on, which is why you developed this habit. Unfortunately, when it comes to your personal boxing skills, it's a little less interesting.
Now the broken sword can be regarded as an opportunity.
If you have some free time, I can teach you some short-hand techniques. Although it is not as gentle as Wudang Tai Chi, it is enough to solve your current problem.
Of course, Mianzhang also has its own problems. When twisting the skin into a whip and using the meat to generate strength, it does not pay much attention to the Dantian Kung Fu of the intersection of dragon and tiger. After practicing for a long time, it is inevitable that the upper and lower parts will become imbalanced. ”
Shen Yishi had received Xu Xing's instructions before and knew that Xiaoyu was now only a slightly weak young woman, so he didn't make it difficult and instead offered her good food and drink.
After Xiao Yu woke up, she also understood the current situation.
After this defeat, Lei Bin and the opera master died in the battle. She could not return to the organization no matter what, so she wanted to visit Xu Xing and know why this man spared her life.
To be honest, since Xiaoyu arrived at Lichao Pavilion, although she looked calm on the surface, facing Xu Xing, she still felt a kind of panic in her heart, waiting for the trial.
But what she didn't expect was that Xu Xing didn't ask anything, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he would teach him his boxing skills.
Xu Xing ignored the shock of the drizzle, just buried his head and continued talking to himself.
"Well, just seeking strength is the way to go. Who said that martial arts must be both hard and soft?
I once heard a senior say that if he still has thirty years to live, he should work hard for another thirty years.
Otherwise, learn the twenty-four cannons of Xinyimen, the inner martial arts of tiger's buttocks and dragon's tail wagging, which can also be helpful to you, but there are also new problems..."
In this way, without the need for others to interrupt or communicate at all, Xu Xing alone has given five or six feasible ways of practice in this way of talking to himself.
There are as many as twenty or thirty boxing techniques involved!
With Xiao Yu's behind closed doors and unexperienced experience, it is completely unimaginable how Xu Xing could master so many boxing techniques at this age.
After hearing what happened, Xiaoyu felt that her brain was starting to get confused. She had never heard of many of the boxing terms used by Xu Xing.
She had to admire Xu Xing. No wonder he could achieve the status of a master at such a young age. This kind of concentration and piety that devotes oneself to boxing, thinking about it anytime and anywhere, practicing boxing while walking, sitting or lying down, is actually the first person Xiaoyu has ever seen in his life.
After listening for a while, Xiaoyu's expression became extremely strange.
Although she didn't understand many terms, Xiao Yu, as a killer, naturally knew the names of key acupuncture points such as Renzhong, Baihui, Fengchi, and Shenting.
Ordinary boxing, even if it involves such a fatal point, you must be very careful. It can be said that you are practicing boxing with your head up. If you are not careful, there is a fatal risk.
But from what this person meant, he practiced them all?
After practicing like this, you didn’t develop any problems, and you became a master along the way? !
This is not only a master, he is simply a madman and a madman in the martial arts!
After many messy thoughts went through Xiaoyu's mind, they had already walked past the martial arts arena and arrived in front of the inner room.
Only then did Xu Xing return to normal, stopped talking, and said apologetically:
"I have been busy creating boxing in the past few days, and this is all in my mind. I can't stop talking about it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he looked up at Xiaoyu again, as if he had predicted in advance what the female swordsman wanted to ask, and simply said:
"I kept you alive because I accepted the request of an old friend. Someone told me that you, Xiaoyu, are a person who has not lost his conscience and can still turn back.
Although I didn't take it seriously, I was willing to give him some face and hold back my strength.
Even with this three-point margin, it is not easy for you to survive my mandarin duck legs. I guess your fate should not be cut off.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In this case, what else do I have to say, I will leave your life to him.
As for the information about Black Stone, you dare to take the initiative to see me, and you are willing to talk anyway, so why should I ask again? ”
The tone of Xu Xing's words was as loud as the sky. How arrogant is it to be able to hold back in the face of an enemy of life and death?
But Xiaoyu couldn't think of any refutation. It was obvious that after this series of events, she had been completely impressed by the young master.
Hearing Xu Xing mention an old friend, Xiao Yu remembered an unbearable past event.
When Xiaoyu learned the "Forty-One Water-Bearing Sword Technique" and completed her first training, she enthusiastically accepted a task from the organization and prepared to use the blood and bones of a certain great boxer to wield the water-bending sword.
Then, she met a Shaolin lay disciple who practiced with hair.
Although this person was not ordained, he was full of compassion and even threatened to transform Xiao Yu into a woman so that she would no longer be able to commit murderous karma.
Xiaoyu was a swordsman carefully trained by the master figure Chakravartin, how could he take a lay disciple who had never been ordained in his eyes?
She didn't even bother to tell that this was her first mission, and immediately drew her sword.
However, although this man was about the same age as Xiaoyu, his boxing skills were incredibly high. With just a pair of iron chopsticks, he was able to break all the forty-one water-proofing swords.
Knowing she was outmatched, Xiao Yu broke the window and left, and was pestered by this Shaolin lay disciple who called himself Lu Zhu for three full months.
During those three months, she failed to complete a single mission, and eventually had to return to the capital to seek advice from the Wheel King again on swordsmanship.
Fortunately, during those three months of entanglement, Xiaoyu not only listened to the man's Buddhist scriptures, but also gained a wealth of combat experience from them.
After Xiaoyu trained hard for several years, he integrated all these gains and completed the second training. After returning to the world, he ran into an even more exaggerated Xu Xing and was defeated again.
Strictly speaking, she can be regarded as a genius in the world. Unfortunately, the opponents she met twice were more perverted than the last. It was a crime not to fight.
Xiao Yu never imagined that she could escape from Xu Xing's hands because of that annoying nosy person.
Thinking of the man's gentle eyes and sincere expression, she was silent for a moment, clenched her fists, and said with resentment and anger:
"He is so naive."
Xu Xing didn't need to listen to these words. Just by seeing her demeanor, he knew that these two were really having an affair.
Damn, you bitches.
Although Lu Zhu was often teased about this matter, Xu Xing couldn't help but sigh after it was confirmed.
I wonder how I, Mr. Xu, who can be regarded as a well-known good man, have been alone on the road for more than ten years, and I am still alone...
However, this emotion is only shallow and fleeting.
After all, in Xu Xing's current view, only the path of the Wu Kou Immortal Sect, which is transformed from human to immortal, is truly worth pursuing.
For him, the joy of love between men and women in the world is not as enjoyable as playing a few sets of boxing skills.
After coming back to his senses, he turned to look at Xiaoyu again, with a solemn look on his face, trying to clear his friend's name.
"The little monk is indeed naive, but you should also understand that if it weren't for his innocence, you would have died in my hands long ago.
The Buddha saved the world with only compassion. It's okay if you can't understand it. If you spurn him instead, that would be ungrateful.
Xu has always been ruthless towards such people. ”
Although Xu Xing's tone was still calm, Xiao Yu could hear the seriousness in his words.
Obviously, if Xiao Yu really wants to be a person who doesn't care about kindness when she puts down the bowl to eat, then Xu Xing will never let her see the sun tomorrow.
This is not even a murderous intention, because in Xu Xing's understanding, it is a matter of course that an ungrateful person dies.
What he did was, at best, just doing justice for heaven.
Xiaoyu's face turned pale and she pursed her lips tightly. After a long time, she finally uttered the word "yes".
Xu Xing ignored her, just called Qi Dazhu over, took her aside, and went to study the short book left by Lei Bin first, while he and Shen Yishi went to the inner room.
Although Xu Xing is a knight-errant who believes in repaying blood debts with blood and using violence to control violence, he does not like to do technical work such as punishing those who are in front of others and killing those who are behind, and treating illnesses and saving lives.
But he still respected Lu Zhu's solemn wish to save people.
It is out of this respect that Xu Xing refutes and even threatens Xiaoyu.
Because he really didn't want to see a good person with good intentions fail to get a good reward in the end.
When Shen Yishi heard these words, he glanced at Xu Xing without any trace, admiring this "nephew" even more.
An idea couldn't help but arise in his mind.
Such a person is indeed worthy of entrustment.
"The Devil Walks into Fire" is a tribute to the chapter name of Teacher Wen Ruian in "We Are Heroes", which is very creative
