Age: My Small World

Chapter 178 Tang Hengdao
Mr. Hu was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Jun's pole skills were so good.

You should know that pole techniques are not the same as staff techniques, especially the twelve-pole method in Tongbeiquan, which is actually evolved from gun techniques, and it is a heavy gun. It requires not only strength but also extremely high skills.

As the saying goes, "a month of stick, a year of sword, a lifetime of spear", learning spearmanship is often not immediate, it takes time to accumulate.

Looking at Yang Jun's skills, although they cannot be said to be perfect, they are beyond the average person's years of hard work.

"That's pretty good, boy. It's a pity that it's still a little short."

Mr. Hu was surprised but not startled, and he deflected his attack with a light movement of his hands.

It seems like he is doing it with ease, just like using a little force to move a heavy object.

Even the next moment, his moves changed, turning from defense to offense, and the long stick went straight to Yang Jun's lower three routes to block.

This is because he has made considerable progress, so Mr. Hu has to take the initiative to test him, so as to force him to realize his potential.

"Master, it's alright to play." Yang Jun's eyes narrowed, but his reaction was not slow. He blocked the long stick before it got close to him.

"I'm not playing with you, keep going."

Obviously, Mr. Hu Baye didn't understand what he meant by teasing.

Seeing that his master was serious, Yang Jun calmed down and focused all his energy on Mr. Hu's stick.

The twelve-bar linkage method is very versatile and can quickly become a seventy-two-bar method or even a hundred and eight-bar method, and there is no fixed pattern.

Between the two of them, Mr. Hu Baye intentionally let Yang Jun win, while Yang Jun countered his moves, and the fight was quite dazzling.

Seeing this, the two Mi brothers next to them looked at each other and shook their heads. They really had no talent for learning martial arts. It would be difficult for them to reach such a level in their lifetime. However, the apprentice of Mr. Ba had already mastered the art to perfection.

Mi Shan, the eldest of the Mi family, suddenly said, "Brother, do you think anyone will agree to this?"

Mi Liang hesitated when he heard this.

"We have some relationship with Mr. Ba, so he won't refuse, right?"

"Let's wait and see. We have to think of another way out. Don't always think about the relationship with Master Ba. Sigh!"

Mi Shan couldn't help but sigh. If there was any other way to go, he didn't want to trouble Master Ba.

The two people in the field didn't pay attention to their surroundings and continued to practice wholeheartedly.

After a long time, when the snowflakes in the yard could no longer be seen, they finally stopped.

"Duo!" The exercise was over and the sticks stood upright in each of their hands.

Mr. Hu's face was flushed at the moment, and it was unclear whether it was because of practicing martial arts or because of excitement.

He stroked his beard and smiled, "You are really diligent in your studies and practice, and you haven't neglected your practice at home. You are a good example."

It's not just the linkage method. When the two of them were close to each other, they also exchanged moves. Yang Jun's skills have become more and more proficient, not inferior to some masters who have practiced martial arts for many years. If he were placed in the current martial arts world, he could also fight with the old masters.

If he unleashes all his strength, he can even defeat his opponent with one force, and his attack power will go up to a higher level.

"Master, can I learn the Eight Steps and Thirteen Swords now?"

Yang Jun was very much looking forward to the Eight Steps and Thirteen Swords. This thing combines swordsmanship and footwork, and even includes moves from many sects. It can be said to be ever-changing.

He thought it was stupid to hit someone with fists. If the other person used a weapon, it would be terrible to get injured by accident.

Using a gun can only be a last resort and a last resort.

Therefore, the most commonly used weapon in daily battles should be a knife.

The opponent may not be a human, but may be a wild boar or something like that.

Or maybe next time he meets a blue wolf, he can chop it down one by one.

The twelve-barreled rifle is quite powerful, but that kind of big gun is hard to find.

Mr. Hu didn't hesitate and nodded, "Of course I can learn."

"Then why not start teaching me today?" Unexpectedly, he waved his hand and said, "There's no rush."

"If you want to learn the Eight Steps and Thirteen Swords, you must first have a sword."

Mr. Hu looked at the Mi brothers.

"You have a knife to give to Xiaoshan, why don't you take it out?"

The two Mi brothers were stunned, and Mi Liang nodded quickly: "Eighth Master, Big Brother Yang, please wait a moment, the knife is in the house."

Mi Zeshan turned around and went into the house to get something.

Yang Jun looked at the Mi brothers and then glanced at Mr. Hu.

"Master, do they have something to ask me?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "It's a small matter. If you can help, please help. If not, just refuse."

"I shouldn't have looked for you, but I didn't think of anyone else. Besides, the knife they brought was really good. It would be a waste if I didn't use it."

He didn't want to trouble Yang Jun, but this matter was not a big deal and it would be of some use to his apprentice, so he decided to help talk about it.

"What's going on?" Yang Jun didn't mind helping out, as long as it didn't involve any illegal or criminal activities.

But I think Mr. Hu has considered it, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"These two guys have been looking for a way out. They've been doing temporary jobs lately. A few days ago, they thought about going to the provincial capital to look for opportunities. Unexpectedly, they got some good stuff at a bargain price, but they don't know what to do with it."

"Good stuff?" Yang Jun's heart moved.

Since even Mr. Hu can say it is a good thing, the two brothers of the Mi family must have fine items in their hands.

Before he could ask more questions, Mi Shan came out.

In his hand, he was holding a long sword with a scabbard.

Judging from its appearance, it is actually the shape of an ancient Tang sword.

"Big Brother Yang..."

Yang Jun quickly waved his hands: "I should be younger than you, just call me Xiaoshan."

Mi Shan paused, then called out, "Then just call me Brother Xiaoshan."

Seeing that he had no intention of changing his address to "brother", Yang Jun did not stop him.

"Brother Xiaoshan, I bought this from a farmer. I heard Mr. Ba said he was looking for a knife, so I just brought it back."

Yang Jun looked at Mr. Hu again.

He nodded and said, "You want to learn the Eight Steps and Thirteen Knives, right? I was thinking of preparing a knife for you, but I didn't expect Mi Shan to get lucky."

The old man didn't hesitate and took the knife from Mi Shan's hand.

With a casual pull, the knife came out of the scabbard, emitting a silver light.

The blade is indeed an ancient Tang sword, also known as a Tang horizontal sword. The blade is about 70 centimeters long and the handle is about 16 or 17 centimeters. It is one of the longer ones and can be held with both hands to increase its lethality.

Mr. Hu made a knife flower, and the sharp sound of the knife rang beside his ears.

He then explained: "This sword is a standard weapon from the Tang Dynasty. It was probably made during the Qing Dynasty. It is of high quality and is one of the weapons collected by the nobility. It is not commonly used."

"The reason it has fallen to this state is probably because the owner has no good end."

His voice was a little sad, as if he was thinking about his own fate.

He added, "The knife is made of hundred-forged steel. It's very tough and strong enough for you to use. Try it."

After saying that, he threw the knife at Yang Jun.
