Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 9 Martial Arts (3)

For the next two days, Xu Jing continued day and night, and taught Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng the remaining seven moves in the "Eight Skills of a Gentleman":
"Luo Qianjun" means that when the wrist is restrained, through the lifting and pressing of the body to advance and retreat, grab the back of the opponent's hand, then let the body fall to one side and drop the shoulder, and smash the opponent's elbow vigorously with the whole body.

"Ni Haitao" means when both hands are restrained, by turning around and swinging the arm to hit the opponent's face, forming a false attack, while the real attack is to move the other arm upwards and push the opponent's elbow, forcing the opponent's elbow to bend up, and then the body leans back and knees Kneeling forward, borrowing the force of pulling each other from the front to the back, they directly broke the enemy's arm.

There are also "turning the longbow" when one hand is bound, "pressing the sea bridge" when the throat is restrained, "iron man mountain" when facing each other, and using the flaws in the enemy's fingers to cut off the enemy's fingers in order to win. "Cut Pisces" and "Tumbling Stone" while being hugged at the waist.

There are a total of eight moves, each of which is a very simple and effective move.After Xu Jing taught the eight moves to Ye and Gu, he taught them to practice and pointed out the essentials of the movements.

After Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng mastered the basics, they immediately began to practice each other's moves. Because they learned swords together since they were young, they have always practiced in sparring and cooperated tacitly. Therefore, they have learned new things together at this time, and they have made great progress. .

On the third day of the duel practice, the two were still practicing tirelessly. Xu Jing looked at them and suddenly praised: "Sure enough, you still need a partner in practice, so you can master the essentials better."

The two quickly responded, "Thanks to brother Xu for teaching well!"

Xu Jing smiled, and asked Ye Ziqi again: "Brother Ye, do you have any understanding of this martial art now?"

Ye Ziqi nodded, and replied: "This set of martial arts seems to be mainly aimed at the situation of being suppressed. It is a martial art designed to counterattack while defending.

By operating multiple joints at the same time, in a very short period of time, the power of the whole body suddenly bursts out, focusing on a weak point of the enemy, achieving the effect of defeating the enemy with one blow. "

Xu Jing immediately smiled gratifiedly, and said: "That's right, Brother Ye really has the root of wisdom, and he has comprehended the essence so quickly. In fact, these martial arts can't be used only when he is suppressed. It's the important thing. When the enemy shows his empty door, concentrate his strength and defeat the enemy with one blow.

It's just that when the enemy thinks they have the upper hand, it's also the time when it's easiest to show their emptiness. This set of martial arts is designed on this basis, but in actual combat, there can be more changes. "

Xu Jing turned to Gu Feng again and asked, "Brother Gu, do you also feel these things?"

Gu Feng nodded.

"Okay! Then you can go back to Xuelongpo!" Xu Jing said with a smile:
"It's just that after I go, I advise you not to rush to fight. It's best to watch other people's competitions for a day, see how they fight, and think about simulations in your mind, how to flexibly use the 'Eight Skills of Gentleman' to defeat the enemy .After all, to bring this set of martial arts into full play in actual combat, it’s not enough to just copy the moves mechanically, you have to use your brain!”

"Everything is up to Brother Xu!" Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng said immediately, clasping their fists together.

Xu Jing smiled and nodded.Now that the plan has been decided, the three of them immediately packed their luggage and set off.

Before leaving, the old farmer, the head of the household where the three of them lived, gave them some dry food, because the old farmer heard that they were going to serve as soldiers, and said: "It's good to be a soldier. There are many soldiers. Horse thieves won't bully us." La."

Ye Ziqi didn't know how to explain it to him, even if he became a soldier, the army would only guard Han Ye, and would not care about the life and death of these small towns, he couldn't say that.After all, it is hard to give up.After the three thanked each other, they set foot on the mountain road to Xuelongpo.

This time when we reached the top of the slope, there were more refugees lining up outside the barracks.

The three of them did not sign up as agreed before, but went to watch the battle under the ring first.All of a sudden, it was like entering an ant's nest. This was the busiest place on Xuelongpo, and the crowd was buzzing.

The arena is a stone platform rebuilt from an abandoned altar used for suburban sacrifices, which is five or six steps higher than the surrounding area.Flags were planted all around to define the boundaries.

There are a large number of people around the arena, among them are refugees who have lost their homes, there are also people who come here for fame and want to take the opportunity to join the army, and there are even many people who live in nearby villages and towns and just watch the fun. The composition is complicated. The biggest thing in common is Basically all men.

Even after the failure of the competition on stage, many refugees continued to stay here, perhaps because they were unwilling to lose and continued to wait for opportunities, or perhaps because they wanted to watch the excitement and live every day.This allowed more and more people to accumulate here, far better than when Ye Gu and the other three came for the first time.

Although there were many refugees, there was still a circle of armored soldiers around the periphery, and a few soldiers were interspersed among the refugees, arranged like some kind of formation in the army, so the place was calmed down and the basic order was maintained. .And the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the one sitting on the ring.

On the north side of the arena, several capable soldiers surrounded a large tiger-skin chair, on which sat a middle-aged officer.After inquiring, I found out that it was General Lian Hongye's lieutenant general and the person who presided over the meeting——

Xue Yi.

The three of them were crawling forward when suddenly a man with a fat face turned his head towards Ye Ziqi. On his thickly stubbled face, his small eyes stared at Ye Ziqi vigorously, then he opened his mouth wide and grinned loudly. Shouted: "Hey! Nine Generals!"

Ye Ziqi was stunned for a moment.

He thought that after so many days, the events of the previous few days were like a small wave, which had already turned over.

But the crowd froze for a moment because of the shout.

Then everyone around stared at Ye Ziqi in unison.

"Oh, this is the 'Nine Generals'!"

"What a real person! He hasn't left yet? Or is he back?"

"What are you talking about? They are coming back to inspect the barracks, right, Ninth General?"

All of the faces wrinkled by the cold suddenly showed teasing smiles, laughing at Ye Ziqi and his group.

How could Ye Ziqi have imagined that since he left, although the group who laughed at him had left a few times, the name "Nine Generals" has become a joke and has been widely spread in the entire military camp.

There are even multiple versions. Some say that he claimed to have killed ninety horse thieves, while others say that he killed nine hundred horse thieves.

This, like some other miracles during the "martial arts" period, became the talk of all the refugees and even some soldiers. Of course, it was the most stupid and ridiculous of all the talk.

Therefore, Ye Ziqi has actually become the most famous figure in the entire "martial arts" period now.

as a joke.

Of course, most people have never seen Ye Ziqi's real face, but that fat man happened to be in the queue at the gate of the barracks that day, and he recognized Ye Ziqi with just one glance, and it was like Dayu discovering the new big man. Like Zhou, he excitedly pointed it out to others.Show off that he was the first to find out about it.

Countless faces of curiosity and ridicule came up, vying to see Ye Ziqi, the famous buffoon.Many refugees even stretched out their hands to pinch his body, arms and legs, as if they found a strange animal and wanted to touch and touch him.

Ye Ziqi felt extremely ashamed and yelled, "Get out of the way!" Yelling like this, he walked back, but how could the refugees give way to him?On the contrary, it was getting more and more crowded.

A layer of gold floated to his eyeballs.

Gu Feng keenly noticed this change, quickly grabbed Ye Ziqi's wrist, and said: "Hold on to me." He took Ye Ziqi's hand and squeezed it out in the sea of ​​people.Seeing Gu Feng's back, Ye Ziqi recovered slightly.

But Gu Feng's strength was far from enough.Fortunately, they still have Xu Jing as their elder brother.Xu Jing was like a trailblazer, walking in the forefront, pushing people aside while advancing.Swim out of the sea of ​​people with them.

"Sign up right away, I'm going to beat up a few people to vent my anger." Ye Ziqi said viciously.

"No!" Xu Jing immediately taught, "Have you forgotten the essentials of my martial arts?"

"Although there is something old in the battle of a gentleman, courage is the foundation." Gu Feng said from the side.

"Brother Gu, remember well! Brother Ye, you are in such a mess right now, how can there be any rules in fighting?" Xu Jing urged again.

Ye Ziqi bent down, took a few breaths towards the ground, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Then, Ye Ziqi and the three ran to a deserted corner where they could barely see the ring.Because they are not as attractive as the ring after all, there will be fewer people who come to trouble them, even if there are, Gu Feng will coldly drive them away.

Based on the situation in the arena, Xu Jing began to explain the practical application of martial arts to them.Gu Feng listened very carefully.Ye Ziqi, on the other hand, had been staring straight at the ring, without moving his eyes for several hours, and Xu Jing didn't know if he had listened to what he said.

But Xu Jing didn't try to persuade him again.Because at this moment, even Xu Jing noticed that something was wrong with Ye Ziqi's eyes. He couldn't tell what was wrong with these eyes, but he had a strong feeling that deep in this young man's eyes, there was something wrong. It seems that there is a flame hidden, a prairie fire that is about to burn, as if it will burn up this Xuelongpo.

The next day, Ye Ziqi went to sign up in front of the barracks early in the morning.

Xu Jing agreed, because Ye Ziqi seemed to have regained his sobriety, and he was afraid of causing trouble if he dragged on.

In front of the barracks, Ye Ziqi silently endured countless ridicules, and finally came to the head of the line.

"Hey? Would you sign 'Nine Generals'?" The chief bookkeeper in charge of signing laughed at him like this.

"My name is Ye Ziqi!" Ye Ziqi said loudly, then grabbed the pen, wrote his name on the register, and then threw the pen on the table.

The chief secretary was furious and shouted: "You—" He was about to get up and shout, when suddenly he heard the sound of "split", the table in front of him was broken in two and collapsed towards the middle!The director's face suddenly changed and his voice became hoarse, and the refugees around him were in an uproar.

Ye Ziqi didn't stay any longer, turned around, and strode away towards the arena.

Xu Jing's feeling was right.

At this moment, Ye Ziqi's eyes were indeed shining with golden light, as if a raging flame was lit.
