Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 80 Octopus Divided, Werewolves Kill Now

According to custom, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is time to visit relatives. Zhao Xin and Lou Xiaoe took their four children to the Baji Martial Arts Academy.

After all, the only relatives on Xin Zhao's side are the master and his brothers.Lou Zhenhua and Lou Tan also went to visit friends.

He was able to stay in BJ for decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition to his correct stance, he also had some old friends.

Although some of these old friends have withered away, there are still a few who are still there, and of course most of them are being raised.

Baji Martial Arts Academy is still the same, with not many people practicing martial arts.

After all, after the reform and opening up, people have liberalized their minds, and the first thing they focus on will definitely not be practicing kung fu.

The Baji Martial Arts Academy itself is also a courtyard with three entrances.People live in the backyard and practice kung fu in the middle and front yards.

During the tide, there were two families living in the backyard, one was senior brother Wang Heren, and the other was sixth junior brother Zhu Cunwen.

After the reform and opening up, the sixth junior brother moved to the building next to it, giving up the backyard to the senior brother.

Of course, this is appropriate. After all, in terms of property rights, the courtyard was approved by the superiors for his master Wang Zhenyuan to teach martial arts. It was not even a residence at the beginning. Wang Heren was Wang Zhenyuan's biological son, so it was reasonable to inherit this courtyard.

When Zhao Xin arrived, the Sixth Junior Brother and his family had already arrived.

A large family filled the three tables in the backyard. Master Wang Zhenyuan was in good spirits. He looked at the three disciples and their families, and there were only four words in his mind: "There will be successors."

Of course, the other three senior brothers joined the army outside, and their families followed them, otherwise the backyard and the main courtyard would have to be used together.

Xin Zhao also expressed a lot of emotion, so he had twelve children.

Zhao Xin's family has four children, Wang Heren and Su Li have five children, and Zhu Cunwen and his wife Zeng Peixia also have three children.

Among them, Wang Heren's eldest daughter is Wang Hongxuan, who is the same age as Zhao Gangyi. When the two children were little kids, they loved crawling together.

This morning, the children were clamoring for a martial arts competition. Zhao Xin's two children, Zhao Gangyi and Zhao Zhixia, were naturally the oldest and best among the children.

The two of them acted as referees and watched the children pecking each other.After all, among these children, the eldest Wang Hongxuan is the same age as Zhao Gangyi, but only 15 years old.The remaining Wang Heren's second son Wang Jiwu is 12 years old, and Zhu Cunwen's eldest daughter Zhu Dan is also 12 years old.

Among the remaining children, Wang Heren’s third daughter Wang Hongyan is 10 years old, fourth son Wang Jizhong is 7 years old, and fifth daughter Wang Hongtao is only three years old.

Zhu Cunwen's second sons, Zhu Bowu, are 8 years old, and Zhu Bowen is 6 years old.

There is a lot of noise when there are many children, and when eating melon seeds, it is like a group of people chattering.

The competition was even more lively now. Wang Heren, who found it troublesome, rushed him to the main courtyard. There was a ring in the main courtyard, which was suitable for competitions.

A group of children dragged the two referees Zhao Zhixia and Zhao Yutian to the main courtyard, but one person did not move, Zhao Gangyi from Zhao Xin's family.

He sat on the table quietly eating melon seeds.

"Zhao Gangyi, let's go fight." Wang Hongxuan tugged at Zhao Gangyi's sleeve and said.

"No." Zhao Gangyi shook his head. If his father hadn't asked him to, and his two elder brothers had brought him with him, he might have stopped doing morning and evening exercises a long time ago.

"Zhao Gangyi, let's fight." Wang Hongxuan's voice was a little louder, so Xin Zhao and Lou Xiao'e could hear it.

Zhao Gangyi was a little helpless, why was this girl becoming more and more clingy, and she still couldn't understand what he meant!
"Fortitude." Xin Zhao nodded. As a man, he still has to maintain his grace.

After hearing his father's words, Zhao Gangyi could only get up and go to the main courtyard.

Once the children left, the backyard finally became quiet.

Zhao Xin sat at a table with Wang Heren, Zhu Cunwen, and his master Wang Zhenyuan.

Wang Zhenyuan was the first to say: "Xin Zhao, I heard that you want to open a factory. Do you really want to be a capitalist?"

This is quite a reminder. After all, despite the talk of reform and opening up, many people still can't let go.

"Industry will prosper the country, who else would it be than me?" Xin Zhao said with a glint in his eyes: "Moreover, reform and opening up will continue."

"Yes." Wang Zhenyuan nodded. He just mentioned that his disciples have the most independent opinions, and he cannot stop them just by worrying.

Furthermore, the ten years of the wave have proved the necessity of the current 'reform and opening up' from the negative side. One thing that can be seen with the naked eye is that the food at Baji Wuyuan is much better than before.

"Master, have you ever thought about opening the Baji Martial Arts Academy?"

"Drive out." Wang Zhenyuan's eyes lit up. Revitalizing Bajiquan and traditional martial arts has always been his goal and dream.

"Speak quickly!" Wang Zhenyuan urged.

"Our community is quite special. Therefore, it will appear a bit closed to a certain extent. If the Baji Martial Arts Academy is opened outside, in addition to teaching simple eight-level physical fitness, more advanced courses can also be arranged. By then, we will no longer be able to It’s passed down from master to apprentice, but it’s similar to a teacher in a school who sets the price.”

"When the time comes, those who want to keep fit can come to our martial arts academy to practice level eight. If they want to learn ancient martial arts, they can also take our more advanced courses. Of course, you have to pay for this!"

Wang Zhenyuan frowned: "Is this teaching Baji like a business?"

"Not bad." Xin Zhao nodded.

"In addition to opening martial arts gyms outside, we can also contact universities to allow students to establish Baji clubs and teach simple Baji."

"Are you ready to do this?" Wang Zhenyuan asked.

"I plan to let Yutian and Zhixia do it after the school starts. One of them is at Tsinghua University and the other is at Peking University. With these two top domestic universities taking the lead, if there are some results, other schools will follow suit."

"When the Baji Martial Arts Academy is opened outside, it depends on the master's wishes. After all, I don't have time." Zhao Xin said.

"Master, I think it can be done." Zhu Cunwen said.

"But does this tie Chuanwu to capital?" Wang Heren questioned.

In the minds of martial arts practitioners in the past, martial artists are martial artists and businessmen are businessmen.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, all groups drew a clear line with capital, and the martial arts community was no exception.

"Master, I wonder if you have read any information about karate, taekwondo, and fighting skills?" Xin Zhao asked.

Hearing this, Wang Zhenyuan's eyes froze and he immediately said: "It can be done. We will compile this course, but you will find someone to run it."

"Okay." Xin Zhao nodded and agreed.

He was already imagining the costume design for the Baji Martial Arts School in his mind. If he continued to use the original training uniforms, they would be inferior to the Taekwondo costumes.

"Master, it would be best if the Bajiquan can be divided into sections and set into levels. The first level is the lowest and the Baji is the highest. Above the Baji, there is the hidden second level. The ninth level is for mastery. You can refer to the sixth junior brother and the senior brother. In terms of realm, the tenth level is a sect of its own, similar to Master’s.”

"Above level ten, there must be one who can innovate and bring forth the new, just like your dark power." Wang Zhenyuan said with a smile.

Xin Zhao didn't reply, if he did.Wouldn't that really make Master Yingying think that Baji's attainments are inferior to his own?
At this time Zhu Cunwen said: "Master, I think the first level to Baji can be divided in this way. Being able to skillfully perform the basic eight forms of Bajiquan is one pole...".

Zhu Cunwen has stayed in the Baji Martial Arts Academy for so many years with his master and senior brother. He is also extremely proficient in teaching the basic Baji Quan.At this moment, my thoughts on segmentation are clear and coherent.

When senior brother Wang Heren saw that his father had agreed to Zhao Xin's offer to open a martial arts academy for free, he immediately stopped objecting and instead discussed divisions with Zhu Cunwen.Bajiquan is divided into three levels, namely the manifested Baji and the hidden Baji.According to what Zhao Xin said, there is no problem with the hidden three extremes, but the remaining eight extremes are somewhat difficult to define.

Among the eight extremes, the first level is the lowest and the eight extremes are the highest.Then those with higher levels should be more powerful than those with lower levels. It is hard to define what is considered powerful here.

But there are some ways after all.

Xin Zhao also joined the discussion, and Wang Zhenyuan was no exception.

"Okay, let's eat first." Wang Zhenyuan said.

Lou Xiao'e, Su Li, and Zhu Cunwen's wife Zeng Peixia prepared lunch together.

The children also came in to eat, but Zhao Gangyi seemed not very interested. Several children coaxed him together, and the adults immediately knew that Zhao Gangyi had been beaten by Wang Hongxuan.

For lunch, Wang Hongxuan served a bowl of saozi noodles first.

Wang Heren was about to scold his daughter when he saw Wang Hongxuan handing the bowl of noodles to Zhao Gangyi.

Wang Heren's face turned slightly dark. If his fifth junior brother hadn't been there, he would have snatched the bowl of noodles and eaten it himself.

"Sister Hongxuan, do you like Brother Yi?" Zhu Cunwen's eldest daughter Zhu Dan said crisply.

"What are you talking about?" Wang Hongxuan's face turned red.

"In our family, my mother always gives the first bowl of rice to my father before giving it to us. She says it's because she likes it." Zhu Dan, a brat, said crisply.

"Eat your food well." Amid everyone's laughter, Wang Hongxuan took a bowl of noodles and handed it directly to Zhu Dan.

But Wang Hongxuan's red face showed that she was really shy at the moment.

Zhao Gangyi looked at the noodles in his hands. He held the chopsticks and didn't know whether he should pick them up and eat them, or give them to others quickly.

He has already lost his reputation in today's martial arts competition. Will he lose it again now?

The noodles were very fragrant and everyone was very full. Zhao Gangyi finally surrendered to the delicious food.

Wang Zhenyuan, Wang Heren, and Zhu Cunwen began to discuss the polarization again.However, Xin Zhao suddenly had an idea in his mind. He stood up and looked at the children and said, "Children, I recently thought of a good game. Let's play it together!"

"Okay." Six-year-old Zhu Bowen said loudly immediately.

"This game is inspired by the western world. The name is Werewolf Killing. There are four characters in it, werewolves, prophets, witches, hunters, and villagers."

All the children listened quietly. They had long known that Zhang Gangyi's father was the best at telling stories. When he came here before, he would tell them good stories.

It must be the same this time, and Xin Zhao began to introduce information about the four characters.

For example, a werewolf looks like a normal person during the day, but when the moon rises at night, he turns into a werewolf with a wolf head and body.

"Yutian, bring nine pieces of paper, all of the same size." While Zhao Xin was talking, he gave instructions to his son Zhao Yutian.

Zhao Zhixia has replaced Zhao Xin in the discussion between Wang Zhenyuan, Wang Heren, and Zhu Cunwen on the eight poles segmentation.

Xin Zhao told the background stories of the four characters, their abilities, and their general appearance.

All the children were amazed and discussed that the witch wearing a hat could make various magical potions.

"Uncle Zhao, can you ask the witch to refine a medicine for me that will make me grow up immediately?" Wang Heren's fourth son, seven-year-old Wang Jizhong, said.

"You're going to grow up soon. Ji Zhong is one year younger than me. If I definitely want a potion for martial arts mastery, if I drink it, Brother Gang Yi will no longer be my opponent." Eight-year-old Zhu Bowu said.

"I'm starting to talk about the rules of the game now." Xin Zhao reminded.

After hearing this, everyone realized that this is not a story, but a game.

"Zhixia, come too." Xin Zhao shouted.

"Okay." Dad called, and Zhao Zhixia naturally didn't dare to delay.

Xin Zhao held six-year-old Zhu Bowen in his arms and wrote on a piece of paper with a pen while saying: "There are nine of us, three playing werewolves, three playing priests, and three playing villagers. The priests are prophets and witches. And hunters.”

Zhao Xin explained the gameplay in detail. Zhao Zhixia, who was originally distracted by the discussion by Wang Zhenyuan and others, was immediately attracted by the rules of the game that Zhao Xin said.

It's dark and dawn is a round, and the werewolves want to "knife" people at dawn, and everyone wants to find out all the werewolves at dawn and vote to kill him.

The prophet can 'check' the identity of other people at night, the witch has a bottle of poison and the antidote, and the hunter can shoot and take away the person. Of course, the poisoned hunter cannot shoot.

Zhao Yutian, Zhao Zhixia, Zhao Yueyue, as well as Wang Hongxuan and Zhao Gangyi have all realized the fun of this game.

Reasoning logic, werewolves should try their best to hide, and good people should find out all werewolves.

"Here, this is an identity card. Everyone takes one. You can only see it for yourself. You can't tell others."

"Okay." The children said.

Zhu Bowen in Zhao Xin's arms watched with wide eyes as his brothers and sisters took away the pieces of paper. Some people laughed non-stop after taking them, and they didn't know their identity.

"Uncle Zhao, where's mine?" Six-year-old Zhu Bowen asked with a pout. Although seven-year-old Wang Jizhong didn't speak, he also came to Xin Zhao.

"You two treat it like God is presiding over it, and I'll teach you." Xin Zhao said, "Come on, tell me: Please close your eyes when it gets dark."

"Please close your eyes when it gets dark," Zhu Bowen and Wang Jizhong shouted.After seeing everyone close their eyes, the two laughed happily.

Of course, this game could not continue. After dawn, the werewolf Zhu Dan surrendered.

"Brother Zhixia, Wang Jiwu and Zhu Bowu are little villains. They want to kill you, but I want to kill sister Hongxuan and they won't listen." Zhu Dan said this. The game is over and the good guys win.

After playing a few times, the children lost interest and went to play something else.Wang Hongxuan and Zhao Yueyue chased Xin Zhao and asked about various details of Werewolf Killing, such as whether there were other characters and whether there must be nine people.

Xin Zhao answered one by one, saying that he could also join the guard.The number of people can also be flexible, and you can even play a six-player game.

The two girls immediately took Zhao Yutian, Zhao Zhixia, Zhao Gangyi, and Zhao Xin's wife Lou Xiao'e to play a six-person game.

Zhao Xin, Wang Zhenyuan and others continued to discuss the polarization setting of Bajiquan.

Finally, a preliminary set of standards was set:

Yiji: Proficient in the basic eight sets, with standard movements.

Erji: The advanced version of 24 sets can be played proficiently with standard movements.

Sanji: During the punching process, it can break one centimeter of paulownia wood board, which has certain practical ability.
