The Life of a Fool in a Siheyuan

Chapter 155.Baji Qi Jin

Wang Dachui's punches are getting faster and faster, and there seems to be a feeling of depression and displeasure in his chest. As Wang Dachui's mind is in unison, the power of his punches is doubled.

Huo Shanlin felt happy when he saw this scene, knowing that his apprentice had finally enlightened him. He quickly picked up Wang Chengde, fearing that he would affect Wang Dachui who was in the process of enlightenment.

At this time, Wang Dachui was not moved by external objects, and practiced every move to the extreme. He punched the Baji Fist once, twice, and by the third time, he could no longer hold back the depression in his heart.

There seemed to be a strange flow of air flowing slowly through the body. Wang Dachui didn't know what kind of energy it was. He just felt that his whole body was filled with endless strength at this time.

As this energy flowed through his body, Wang Dachui felt as if his whole body was about to explode. He just wanted to beat this strange power out.
When he saw the wooden dummy next to him, he shouted loudly and punched the wooden dummy with all his strength. The energy in his body suddenly found a breakthrough and was released.

Suddenly there was a sonic boom, and the wooden dummy exploded to pieces and fell to the ground dozens of meters away. The sound was extremely loud, and the wooden dummy exploded in the air.

The broken pieces of wood, each one foot long, were inserted into the soil more than half a foot deep, which shows the power of Wang Dachui's move.

Such a loud noise startled Lu Ping, who was cooking in the kitchen.

He quickly ran out and exclaimed: "What's wrong? Why is there such a big movement?"

Huo Shanlin also stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth wide open in shock. Wang Chengde, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, looked excitedly at his father's masterpiece and clapped his little hands in applause.

Because of Lu Ping's interruption, Wang Dachui also retreated from the state of selfless enlightenment just now. He was breathing heavily and looked at the scene where he took action in shock.
His eyes couldn't believe that his punch was so powerful. At this time, he also had many questions in his heart and wanted the master to help him answer them.

What was that power in the body just now?Internal strength?Or An Jin?Is it true that if you practice boxing to a certain level, you can develop dark strength?
Was that feeling real?But if it was an illusion, why did I feel like I was almost hollowed out after this punch.

After waiting for a while, he finally said: "Master, is this a breakthrough for me?"

Huo Shanlin also suppressed the shock in his heart and calmed down his shocked emotions.

He looked at his wife and said, "You go and cook. You are practicing with a sledgehammer. If you make some noise, nothing will happen."

Lu Ping turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Huo Shanlin turned his head, excitement that he had never seen before appeared on his face.

He looked at Wang Dachui and said, "Dachui, come in with me. Master has something to tell you."

Wang Dachui nodded doubtfully and followed Huo Shanlin into the house. After the elder and the younger came to the living room, Huo Shanlin first lit a stick of incense to worship the ancestors of the Baji Sect.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at the many spiritual statues on the candlestick, and slowly said: "Master, fellow masters, uncles, and father, my Baji Sect has a successor. I hope that the spirits of the elders of the masters in heaven can Bless Dahamui and let me Bajimen carry forward the world."

"Master Li, have you seen it? My disciple Wang Dachui has also reached your current level. Among my Baji Sect members, you and he are the only ones with such attainments. Father, I have lived up to your instructions."

As Huo Shanlin finished his prayer, Wang Dachui was asked to burn incense and kneel down before the spiritual throne to worship and kowtow sincerely.

After paying homage to the elders of the Baji Sect, Huo Shanlin took Wang Dachui and sat down.
Looking at him, he said: "Sledgehammer, it's true that you have made a breakthrough in Bajiquan. This is not just a breakthrough. You have reached the pinnacle of Bajiquan. Can you describe to the master what you did when you made the breakthrough just now? Do you feel it?”

After hearing this, Wang Dachui said: "Master, after thinking about it just now, I figured out why I want to practice martial arts. After I realized my true intention, I entered an indescribable state."

Wang Dachui: "I started boxing without knowing it. The more I punched, the more restless my whole body became. It seemed that a strange force suddenly appeared in my body. This force traveled through my body and made me feel as if my whole body was about to explode."

Wang Dachui: "At that time, I was just thinking about punching it out. When it was over, the wooden mannequin exploded. I don't know if it was my imagination just now. After the punch, the power disappeared. I am still A little confused."

After listening to Wang Dachui's words, a trace of envy flashed in Huo Shanlin's eyes. Yes, it was an expression of envy. The grand master of the first generation actually envied his own apprentice.

Feeling his master's gaze, Wang Dachui was a little surprised. Didn't he feel the same way he did when his master made a breakthrough?
Huo Shanlin withdrew his gaze and pondered for a while before speaking: "Sledgehammer, I can't tell you a word or two about your situation. Just wait. Your master once left a note, but this is the case for ordinary disciples of Bajiquan. Everyone can view this note. Originally, only the leaders of the past generations could read this mobile phone. You will understand after you read it."

After saying that, Huo Shanlin went into the bedroom and found a blue thread-bound book with a sense of age and handed it to Wang Dachui.

Wang Dachui took the note and opened it to read. He saw a summary of the Bajiquan experience recorded in traditional Chinese characters. It was about twenty or thirty pages. Wang Dachui read it very seriously. He turned to the last dozen pages to record the situation of Wang Dachui. .

Half an hour later, after reading the contents of the note, Wang Dachui understood something in his heart. It turned out that what he felt just now was not an illusion. The power was not some illusory internal force. It could be called internal energy, but it was different.

In the era of the master's ancestor, dark energy warriors have long been rare and necessary, and there may not be one person who can have this situation and talent among thousands of warriors.

The master Li Shuwen is one of them. He has faced countless enemies in his life and has never lost a single defeat. This is not only because of his extraordinary talent and infinite strength and exquisite boxing skills, but more importantly, he has mastered the magical use of dark energy.

According to the records in the notes, the ancestors of the master's generation orally said that at that time, warriors practiced martial arts in three realms: clear strength, dark strength, and transformation strength. However, as time passed, various unexpected factors led to various sects and sects. The essence of boxing is lost,

Since then, the three realms of warriors have quietly disappeared. All warriors in the world can only increase their strength and physique by practicing martial arts. After many years of research and analysis by the older generations of various sects, the main problem was discovered after many warriors communicated with each other.

The loss of the essence of boxing may be only a small part of the reason, because the inheritance of boxing of some sects is still very complete. The most likely reason is related to the environment of heaven and earth, but they don't know the specific reason.

In the end, we came to the conclusion that there is no beginning or end, that is, there is a gap between heaven and earth, the way forward for warriors is cut off, and the power of the fists that can break mountains and crack rocks in the past can no longer be shown to the world, or it can be said that heaven and earth are restricting the development of martial arts.

Over time, people who practice martial arts no longer rely on their fists to walk around the world and be carefree as a knight-errant. Due to the decline of this situation accumulated over the years, the style of martial arts gradually declined.

Later, in order to prevent the decline of boxing skills, the ancestors brainstormed changes in boxing skills to make up for the missing essence, and re-perfected the boxing skills they inherited. The three martial arts realms of Ming Jin, Dark Jin, and Hua Jin were also collectively referred to as Qi Jin.

However, people with extraordinary talents and amazing bones still have a chance to develop Qi Jin. Most people will not be able to feel Qi Jin throughout their lives, which has to be said to be a pity.

As for whether the record in this note is true or not, it is also mentioned in the record, but it is just speculation and confirmation. The ancestors are not sure whether the situation is true.
After digesting these contents, as a modern man, Wang Dachui's first thought was about the rhetoric about the world of immortality. Perhaps it was about animals not being allowed to become spirits and the weather aura being lost.

But it seems a little unreasonable. After all, I have read in novels before that the inner force martial arts is a made-up story, but this boxing technique is indeed a real skill.
Doesn't practicing boxing help develop one's own body? Why is Mao related to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?This made Wang Dachui's short-sighted mind unable to understand the twists and turns involved.

If I can't figure it out, I just don't want to worry about it. In short, I have achieved great success in Bajiquan, which is a happy event, isn't it?
Wang Dachui withdrew his thoughts and looked at Huo Shanlin and said: "Master, did you develop this strength when you first mastered Bajiquan?"

Huo Shanlin: "Well, your master and I are considered to be very talented, but I haven't developed the energy yet. I underestimate your talent. As far as I know, there is no one else in our Baji Sect besides Master Li who can train me." Expose your energy,"

Huo Shanlin: "Even the masters at the same time as Master Li, only a few people have developed Qi Jin. This talent is innate. I have been practicing boxing for 50 years and I still can't get to this step. How come you have come so far?" The division has gone to the front."

After saying these words, Huo Shanlin couldn't help but look a little lonely. Who among martial arts practitioners doesn't want to reach the realm that everyone in the world dreams of, but this person can't compare with others.

However, he also thought that the person in front of him was his disciple, and it made him feel less uncomfortable. In the future, the Baji Sect would definitely be able to flourish under the hands of Wang Dachui.

Huo Shanlin instructed: "Sledgehammer, now that you have mastered the Bajiquan, you can start arranging the things that the master has planned for a long time."

Huo Shanlin: "Wait for my letter later. When the time comes, you can ask for leave from your unit in advance to go out with the master. I will contact your master Lu Zhengyi, master Lu, and take you to see him. It's time to let him go." You have taken over the position of Sect Master of Baji Sect, and with your current strength as Sect Master, your uncle position agrees."

Hearing this, Wang Dachui couldn't help being curious about his master, whom he had never met before. He had followed his master for several years, and he had only heard him mention it a few times. He didn't know what kind of person he was, Master Lu. ?

Wang Dachui: "Master, Master Lu, haven't we had any contact with you in these years? I've never seen you contact him in the past few years that I've been with you."

Hearing Wang Dachui's question, Huo Shanlin couldn't help but sigh, and let out a long sigh.

Cai Dao: "It's time for you to know some things,"

Huo Shanlin began to talk about another past event from that year. He had said before that the Baji Sect had many disciples, but because all the disciples were killed and injured in serving the country, the Baji Sect also collapsed and its disciples withered away.

As the sect leader, Huo Shanlin was naturally to blame for this. He felt deeply sad and felt that he was a sinner of the Baji Sect.
Although what he did back then was out of righteousness, and although Shibo Lu Zhengyi did not say any words of reprimand, he still had a grudge against Huo Shanlin in his heart. After all, the disciples who died and died were the Baji Sect's foundation for many years. Who wouldn't be heartbroken to see such a tragic situation?
Huo Shanlin himself felt deeply guilty. Under the interference of various factors, the two brothers gradually became estranged because of this incident. Later, they parted ways due to some unexplained things.

Although Huo Shanlin still carries the name of the sect leader, after suffering such a severe blow, he has no intention of managing the Baji Sect anymore. All affairs within the sect are left to his uncle to take care of.
Later, Huo Shanlin came to settle here. Over the years, the relationship between the brothers has eased a lot. However, the two brothers have never met, and they have always exchanged letters.

After listening to his master's narration, Wang Dachui was also filled with sadness. He felt that his master was actually feeling quite miserable.

It was clear that what he did at the beginning was for the sake of justice, but as the leader of a sect, it was impossible not to feel uncomfortable when his disciples sacrificed themselves heroically. He was also suffering from a fundamental disease in his body and could not have any heirs of his own.
Although the master's life was wonderful and he had countless connections, he also lost a lot. A drink and a peck are all predetermined. Maybe sometimes people are destined to lose something in exchange for what they gain.

Seeing that his master was sad, Wang Dachui comforted him: "Master, let the past go by. It won't help if you think too much. I think what you did was right. Without the efforts of our ancestors, where would we be?" Today’s peace, don’t worry, I will definitely revive our Baji Sect.”

Hearing Wang Dachui's comfort, Huo Shanlin nodded happily and said: "I understand. Now that I have you as a boy, I feel relieved. Master believes that you can lead our Baji Sect back to glory."

Huo Shanlin: "If your uncle knew your current achievements, he would probably forgive me. I didn't do nothing. I was also looking for a suitable disciple to pass on the mantle. I didn't live up to his expectations."

"There is one thing I want to make clear to you first during this trip. The position of the sect leader must be yours based on your strength, but our Baji Sect has been in charge of your uncle for so many years. If your uncle doesn't take the initiative to speak, can't you understand?"

"Don't worry, master. If your master and I pass away, this courtyard and my family will belong to you. Master will never treat you badly. I naturally know that money is needed to support the expansion of the sect. Master, these years I also saved a lot of money. I will give it to you when the time comes."
