Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 129 Pi Gua Fist, Walled City
"Do you still remember what I told you at the beginning? I will teach you other things when you come to Baji Quan."

Yixiantian looked at Li An with satisfaction, smiling broadly.

"Remember." Li An nodded.

Xiantiantian didn't say anything. He pondered for a while and then suddenly asked:
"Do you know why I let you spar with Zhao Di?"

Li An did not answer immediately, but considered it with calm eyes before saying slowly:
"Bajiquan is strong and powerful, while Baguazhang is light and agile. When we compete with each other, both me and my senior sister can better understand the strong and soft fighting styles of both sides."

Speaking of this, Li An also thought of the Baguazhang he practiced.

It goes without saying that all boxing has the same purpose when it was first created.

That is to defeat the enemy and win!
Different boxing techniques only achieve this goal through different training methods.Which boxing method is practiced fastest will be more widely spread.

From Baguazhang to Dacheng, Li An has been thinking about the integration of several of his boxing techniques these days.

The first reference is the six major moves and eight major moves of Bajiquan, which are integrated with the walking circles and piles of Bagua Zhang.

The six major martial arts techniques of Bajiquan are pushing, holding, dusting, lifting, crotching, and wrapping.

It is still possible to combine this into Baguazhang, because there are only a few martial arts techniques, which are similar to those of Baguazhang, but the names are different.

What really puts Li An in trouble is the eight major moves of Bajiquan. The way of exerting force is very different from Bagua Zhang. Integrating them into one cannot be achieved in a short time. There is still a long way to go.

You must know that the most fundamental way to classify boxing types starts with the way of exerting force.

To borrow a later saying, force is equivalent to software and moves are equivalent to hardware.

The hardware can be used universally, but the two systems can only be switched freely and cannot run together.

To put it simply, Ang Lee can use Baji's power to hit Baji's moves, or use Baji's force to hit Baji's moves.

Therefore, Ang Lee now has to make a choice, settle for the next best thing, and first combine several boxing moves.

As for the compatibility of force exertion methods, we can only think about it slowly step by step, or wait until Ang Lee has a sufficient understanding of martial arts, and it will naturally fall into place.

"That's right. There was indeed this consideration in asking you to compete with Zhao Di."

Xiantiantian nodded happily, becoming more and more satisfied with Li An as his disciple.

"The eight poles take the elephant, the bear steps and the tiger's claws! The short attack at close quarters is extremely fierce. But each boxing method is good at it. Once you practice this skill to a certain depth, in order to make yourself more comprehensive, most boxers will selectively absorb other boxing methods. Longer, making your attacks more versatile."

He paused and then said:

"I am not a very experienced person. In addition to the Liuhe gun, my weapon is a sharp knife. In terms of boxing, I am the master of Baji. 30 years ago, in order to make up for the shortcomings of Bajiquan and to make myself more comprehensive, I once I went to Cangzhou to visit the local Piguamen and practiced a little Piguaquan.”

"Splitting fist?"

Li An was a little surprised.

Baji plus Pigua, even the gods are afraid!
After all, Li An had heard this sentence so many times that it was like thunder.

"Yeah." Xianxiantian cleared his throat and said:

"Piguaquan is a typical type of boxing that strikes long and far. In ancient times, it was called Piguaquan, also known as face-wiping boxing. Because it uses palms more, it is also called Piguazhang. It is good at defeating the enemy at medium and long distances. It pays attention to long strikes from far away and long strikes from close range. whip!

Bajiquan is a close-range short attack, which is too strong and fierce, so I integrated the Phihuaquan technique into it, combining yin and yang, combining hardness and softness.It can be played short and close, or it can be played long and far. "

"Master, do you want to teach me something new, namely Pi Guaquan?"

Li An suddenly became interested.

I'm not too excited, because to make up for Bajiquan, you don't have to rely on split-kick boxing. The kicks of Mojiaquan can also be used to hit long and far.

It's just that with such a big name as "Baji plus Pigua", Li An is inevitably interested.

The most important thing is the fusion of Baji and Pigua.

For Ang Lee, even if Pi Guaquan does not improve his own strength as much as imagined, it can still serve as a reference for his mastery of boxing techniques.

"Yes."

Xiantiantian looked at Li An with relief:

"I didn't teach you Pi Guaquan in advance because I was worried that you would learn too much and bite off more than you can chew. But now that you have taken up Baji Quan, you won't have this problem when practicing Pi Guaquan."

When he said this, Yixiantian also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Other martial arts schools teach boxing, and three years of standing and practicing routines can be considered an introduction.

With a single effort, he can block nearly [-]% of the students in the martial arts hall.

Putting aside the students' talent and diligence, the main reason is the martial arts master's cherishment of his broomstick.

If you only perform routines in boxing, but don’t practice the techniques and don’t know how to use them, how can you develop your strength?Why hurt people?

The four words "Enter the Hall" are simple to say, but even among the many masters who have opened schools and taught apprentices in the martial arts world, they can be regarded as rare masters.

But it has only been a few months since Li An learned boxing, and his progress is so fast that it is staggering.

"The names of many boxing techniques are often named after the skills of the boxing technique, such as grabbing. Capturing and grabbing are two skills."

"The same goes for the hanging palm technique. Splitting is a top-down movement, focusing on attacking; hanging is a bottom-up movement, focusing on defense."

As Xiantiantian spoke, he slightly bent his feet and made a hanging rack movement.

"Look carefully, this is a robe rack."

Step forward and slap your right hand from top to bottom.

"This is a hanging palm"

"Unlock new skills: Pi Gua Fist (1% not yet started)!"

"Consume 2 skill points."

"Piguaquan (entry 1%)"

"Consume 10 skill points."

"Piguaquan (1% mastery)"

"Consume 100 skill points."

"Piguaquan (1% mastery)"

The slender fingers with wide joints were stretched forward, the wrists were turned over, and the palms were slapped out like flowing water.

The sun sets in the west, and the moving golden sunlight shines on the palms that flap and fly from time to time.

On the rooftop, Ang Lee was wearing a loose white shirt, black trousers, and a sweat towel around his neck.

His feet were steady and his body moved freely. He turned and slapped his hands as he walked around.

Single split hand, double palm change, three-ring moon set, own shot, flat hand hug, single palm change
A slim figure stood quietly at the door, looking at Li An who was practicing boxing in surprise.

"Sister."

Li An looked back at the visitor, stopped and wiped his face with the sweat towel around his neck.

"Did you finish work so early today?"

"It's already six o'clock now. It's late. You were too serious about practicing boxing and didn't pay attention to the time."

Lin Zhaodi walked over with a smile, holding a food box with food in her hand.

"Ok?"

Li An belatedly raised his head and glanced at the sky. The setting sun on the horizon shone on his face, making him squint his eyes.

Lin Zhaodi chuckled and said:

"You've been practicing boxing all afternoon and you're not hungry yet?"

"Well, Senior Sister, you're really a little hungry now that you've said that."

Li An smiled sheepishly.

"Come on, give it to me."

Reaching out to take the food box from Lin Zhaodi's hand, Li An walked towards the Eight Immortals table under the pergola in the corner of the rooftop.

Lin Zhaodi followed him with a gentle smile.

Arriving at the table, Li An opened the food box.

Three dishes of roast goose, roast pork, and stir-fried cabbage were placed on the table one by one.

The two sat opposite each other.

Li An took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Lin Zhaodi and said hello:
"Let's eat."

Lin Zhaodi picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Li An opposite him who was devouring his food, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"I just watched you practice boxing. What you did with your feet was Baguazhang's buckling steps and muddy steps. What you did on your hands seemed to be more than just Baguazhang?"

"Well, in addition to Baguazhang's moves, there's also Piguaquan." Li An nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said:
"Today my master happened to teach me some Pi Guaquan routines, and I just wanted to try to integrate some of the palm moves into Baguazhang. I just tried it a little bit, but I still used the pushing and joining force of Baguazhang."

"I've never asked you, how far have you reached in your Baguazhang practice?"

Lin Zhaodi raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard this.

Ask questions that have been lingering in your mind.

Li An thought about it and controlled his tone: "It goes a little further than Bajiquan."

The woman took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell, and the surprise on her face could no longer be hidden:

"You Bajiquan has entered the house, right?"

Li An burst out laughing: "Senior sister, don't be so surprised, this is nothing like you."

"You don't surprise me."

Lin Zhaodi, who used to be quiet and indifferent, was a little out of sorts.

She rolled her eyes at Li An:
"I always thought you just learned two moves the first time you sparred with me. But now you tell me that you are better at Ba Gua Zhang than me. Do you think I'm surprised?"

"Uh"

This time Li An didn't know how to answer the call.

He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and changed the subject: "Senior sister, the food won't taste good when it's cold."

"Roast goose and roast pork are meant to be served as cold dishes."

"Really?" Li An took a piece and put it in his mouth, seeming to be a little hesitant.

Lin Zhaodi smiled and said: "Okay, let's eat quickly. However, you have kept it secret from me for so long. After dinner, you have to use Baguazhang to compete with me."

"no problem."

Li An agreed immediately.

Hong Kong and Macau Ferry Terminal.

"Ding dong!"

"Hey! You can get on the boat now."

The young man opened his eyes, grabbed the luggage bag under his butt with his right hand, and walked forward along with the crowd.

"Big pillar, small pillar!"

The anxious voices of women in the crowd could be heard from time to time.

Soon, a woman in blue cloth struggled to squeeze through from the front.

Seeing this, the young man hugged the luggage bag in his hand and approached enthusiastically.

"Auntie, what are you shouting?"

"My two sons were pushed outside."

The woman walked toward the back of the crowd with an anxious look on her face.

But the crowd was surging, and the guests who were eager to get on the boat just pushed forward. She was pushed back by the crowd, and she couldn't help crying anxiously.

"Don't be impatient."

The young man quickly comforted the woman.

"Please let me out, let me out!"

He led the woman out, but the passengers behind him just pushed forward and saw being pushed back. Listening to the cry of the woman beside him, the young man seemed to be a little anxious.

Put the luggage bag in your hand on the ground, kick your feet on the ground, and use your hands hard!
The passengers in front of him felt a strong force coming from the young man's palms, and they fell back in rows.

"what are you doing?"

"Why is this so?"

More than a dozen passengers who fell to the ground looked at him in shock and anger.

The young man stood up with his fists closed, picked up the luggage bag on the ground, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry."

"Thank you!"

The woman quickly thanked him.While the passenger in front of him fell to the ground, he squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards the two panicked children not far away.

A smile suddenly appeared on the young man's face, and he walked to the passenger ship with the passengers who got up and cursed.

Two hours later.

Yau Ma Tei Fruit Bar.

"People always have to face the past. I know that you have always wanted to find your sister in your heart. Just go with peace of mind and don't have any regrets. You went to the walled city alone and you weren't familiar with the people there, so I specially asked an acquaintance to take you. To go to the Walled City, you can find him at this address and the person will take you to the Walled City."

When I came to Hong Kong, I still remember clearly what my third aunt told me.

The young man looked at the address in his hand, feeling a little confused by the strange environment around him.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey, little brother, are you going to the walled city to find a girl?"

When the young man heard this, he turned around and looked over. A man with a bit of a ruffian attitude was walking towards him.

He put away the note with the address in his hand and nodded:

"Are you Mr. Ren?"

The man rolled his eyes:
"How do you know my surname is Yin?"

With a lewd smile on his face, he pointed at a group of people not far behind him and added:

"Let me tell you, not only my surname is Yin, but everyone over there is also named Yin!"

Li An stood alone, keeping a distance from the salty guys beside him who looked to be in their 60s and had almost lost all their teeth.

He looked at the young man who was deceived by the pimp.

Seeing that the young man was hesitant, the man patted him on the shoulder and said carelessly:
"Why are you still hesitating? You're right to follow me."

The young man looked at the smile on the man's face and realized it no matter how slow he was.

"Aren't you Mr. Ren?"

"Am I that important, Mr. Ren?"

The man murmured something vaguely and looked the young man up and down:
"Wow, just by looking at your stupid look, I can tell that you are unfamiliar with this place! Let me ask you, are you going to the Walled City?"

"Yes."

The man waved his hand: "That's fine, I'll get a free ride."

At this time, accompanied by a beep of car horns, a yellow minibus drove slowly.

As the car door opened, a group of salty guys who had been waiting for a long time began to pour into the car.

The man pushed the young man: "Let's go! The cars are here. If you don't hurry up and get on the car, you will walk to the walled city by yourself."

The young man got into the car with half a push.

The man glanced at Li An: "You haven't gotten in the car yet."

"coming."

Li An responded and followed the man into the car.

The man walked to the passenger seat and sat down:
"We're done, drive back to the walled city."

"understood."

As the minibus started slowly, Li An glanced at the seats in the car and walked slowly to the young man's side.

"Hey, man!"

The young man looked up at Li An in confusion.

"Brother, you called me?"

Li An glanced at him: "You are the only one who has a seat here. If I don't call you, who will I call you?"

"Oh"

The young man seemed to have just come to his senses, stood up, and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, brother, I was thinking about something and didn't pay attention."
