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

Chapter 54 Weapons
Regarding Master Wu's doubts, Li An carefully considered his words.

With a smile on his face, he talked freely.

"To see yourself, in a broad sense, is to understand who you are."

"But from the realm of martial arts, it is a confidant! This is also a hurdle that martial arts practitioners must pass, and clearly recognize their own strengths and weaknesses."

"It's like playing chess. You can't play chess alone for the rest of your life."

"The so-called knowing yourself and your enemy! When you see yourself, you have to see the world. Then in the martial arts circle, it is essential to see the world."

"Heaven and earth represent various sects. The most direct way to see heaven and earth is to communicate with the masters in the martial arts. This can not only broaden your horizons, but also make up for your own shortcomings through fighting and learning."

Master Wu, who was listening quietly, suddenly said:

"That's why you come to the martial arts gym in Zhongfang Street one after another to learn from each other?"

Li An nodded, then said:
"You can't practice hard behind closed doors. For me, I can only improve through actual combat."

"Ah."

Master Wu was noncommittal.

After a pause, he looked at Li An and asked with interest:

"You just said that you can see yourself and the world, but what about seeing all living beings?"

"Seeing all sentient beings, this is really advanced."

Li An coughed slightly, his expression as usual:

"Nowadays, each martial arts school has a deep understanding of the sect, and the situation of self-preservation is relatively serious. Except for direct disciples, students can only learn a little superficially after two or three years of learning."

"Seeing all living beings, as the name suggests, is to put aside one's own views of the sect, treat others equally, and infect others with martial arts and mind."

"There is some truth in what you say."

Master Wu nodded first, then thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly.

"However, the disciples of the church starve to death, the master! Since ancient times, not only the martial arts, but also almost all craftsmen have followed the rules."

"So, if you can reach the stage of meeting all sentient beings, it is not an exaggeration to call you a master."

Ang Lee echoed.

"Thank you for satisfying my curiosity today."

"You're welcome."

"It's getting late. If we continue chatting, my students will be waiting outside the door impatiently."

Master Wu took a look at the dimming sky, turned on the incandescent lamp, and came to the weapon rack.

"Boxing is not for young people! I am over 40 this year. I can't compare with you young people, and my physical strength is slightly inferior. How about we try weapons?"

He turned his head, took a deep look at Li An, and said with a smile:
"We must know that weapons are the extension of siblings, and fighting with weapons is the essence of Chinese martial arts!"

He said this calmly, being able to open a gym in Zhongfang Street, he naturally knows the strength of other martial arts masters.

Li An can defeat Master Luo and Master Zheng, he is not sure.

This is a closed-door discussion, and the victory or defeat is not disclosed.

He wasn't worried that winning or losing this time would affect the reputation of the martial arts school.

The idea of ​​fighting weapons is simply to see the opponent's accomplishments in weapons.

Li An glanced at the weapon rack, thought for a while, nodded and said:

"no problem."

"Okay, be bold."

Master Wu's eyes showed appreciation.

He pointed to the weapons displayed on the arms rack.

"The weapons of my Nanzhi Quan include the brow stick, Qinglong broadsword, Eight Immortals sword, Liuye single sword, Bagua double sword, and Butterfly double sword.
First check to see if there are any suitable weapons on this weapons rack. "

"Okay."

Li An stepped forward and looked at the weapons displayed on the weapon rack for a while.

Without a long spear, Li An could only do the next best thing and pick up the willow leaf sword on the weapon rack.

This willow-leaf single knife is over sixty centimeters long, with a sparkling blade, a thick back, and a non-slip handle specially wrapped around the handle.

Seeing Li An sizing up the single sword in his hand, Master Wu hesitated for a moment and said:

"If you feel uncomfortable with your hands, you can try fists and kicks."

"That's not necessary. The Bagua Dao can also be used as a single sword for Liu Ye."

Li An weighed the sword in his hand and smiled.

Seeing what Li An said, Master Wu immediately felt relieved.

Picking out his usual Qinglong Broadsword from the weapon rack, he took another look at the willow-leaf single sword in Li An's hand. After thinking about it, he put down the broadsword and replaced it with a short weapon, the Butterfly Double Sword.

Holding two knives, he posed in a lunge posture.

"A sword has no eyes, we will stop as soon as we click."

Li An nodded and held a willow leaf sword.

"Please enlighten Master Wu."

"Please!"

After Master Wu finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and struck right at close quarters.

"Chong!"

Just as soon as they made contact, Master Wu followed closely with the butterfly knife held in his left hand, and the two swords connected quickly.

Li An couldn't dodge in time, so he could only raise the lancet to protect his chest, and leaned back. Unexpectedly, Master Wu twisted his waist, and the two knives backhanded horizontally, and went straight to Li An's left shoulder.

This knife, Master Wu kept his hands. If it was a life-and-death fight, the two swords should go straight to Li An's neck, not his shoulder.

Since the points I raised are exhaustive, it is impossible for Master Wu to open a museum and teach apprentices. Naturally, it is impossible to go back on his word and make people laugh, so he is merciful.

But what Master Wu didn't expect was that the young man in front of him reacted incredibly quickly. With a snap of his feet, he came to his left side.

He held the knives in both hands from bottom to top, blocked his two knives, then leaned back, and his right foot was kicking on his wrist.

Then he used the force to retreat and quickly opened the distance between the two.

Master Wu was a little surprised by such a quick on-the-spot attack.

Not to mention the opponent's powerful kick.

He moved his sore wrist, and his face became serious.

He no longer attacked rashly, but crossed his swords and walked slowly around Li An.

Li An changed his hands to holding the knife with one hand, his eyes fixed on Master Wu's footsteps, not retreating but advancing.

Kicking off the ground and shaking his wrists, the lancet moved toward Master Wu's chest from bottom to top.

Master Wu's reaction could not be described as unpleasant, and he swooped forward with two knives, one in front and the other in the back.

The two shot almost at the same time.

Master Wu's butterfly swords held the lancet, and the blades rubbed against each other, causing large sparks to fly!
The ear-piercing buzzing sound accompanied by the friction of the blade!
Master Wu looked serious. He blocked the blade with the butterfly knife in his right hand. He took out the other hand, flipped his wrist, and held the knife behind his back to lift the knife-holding wrist of Li An.

However, Li An did not dodge or evade. While holding the knife in his right hand and pressing it hard against Master Wu, he stretched his left hand straight forward and directly touched the wrist of Master Wu who was holding the knife behind his back.

His sudden force made Master Wu subconsciously grip the handle of the knife, and the knife towards Li An's wrist couldn't help being a beat slower, but Li An directly grabbed the wrist.

Seizing the opportunity, Li An stepped closer and pinned Master Wu's arm with a bully, twisted his waist, and leaned sideways against Master Wu's shoulder.

"Oh!"

Being leaned against by Li An, Master Wu was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground.
