Tianguanzhi

Chapter 36 Keep the precepts, common man, sweep away the dust

Fu Nanzhi stared at Gu Jianqiu's face, but still couldn't see any clues.

Isn't it him?

Fu Nanzhi thought in his mind and said again: "Jianqiu, apart from what happened yesterday morning, do you really intend to become a disciple of Five Elements Quan?"

"of course."

Fu Nanzhi, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, was thoughtful, stroking his stubble with a smile: "I have a sick bone, guarding a shabby martial arts hall, and a dozen kids, but you have extraordinary skills, you can open and close it by yourself. Once you become a sect, your future is limitless. There are more than a dozen martial arts schools on this street, and each one is backed by a master of martial arts and has a profound foundation. I really can't figure out why you want to join the declining Five Elements Boxing sect? After thinking about it, I am a sick man with no wealth and power, and the most precious thing in my life is my daughter. Could it be that you have fallen in love with her?"

Although Gu Jianqiu was a man of two generations, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only lower his head: "This junior has no such evil intentions."

"Hahahaha, Jianqiu, continue~"

Fu Nanzhi shouted loudly and threw something at Gu Jianqiu. Gu Jianqiu stretched out his hand to catch it. It was a stick with a tiger head and eyebrows.

Fu Nanzhi also held a long stick, and held a stick like Fu Lemei yesterday. His tiger head pointed at Gu Jianqiu: "Come on!"

Gu Jianqiu was a little surprised, but he maintained his posture and pointed his long stick towards Fu Nanzhi. Fu Nazhi reacted in the same way as Fu Lemei. He lifted up the long stick and took it straight to Gu Jianqiu's lower abdomen. The moves the two played were exactly the same as Gu Mei's fight yesterday, until the last move, Fu Nanzhi shouted loudly, and the crazy stick dance was suppressed like a dark cloud. Gu Jianqiu raised his head, and his eyes reflected the light of the electric snake dancing under the opponent's stick. From the bursting blue, a fiery gold appeared for no reason. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart. He immediately stepped back with a support and used the stick to force himself. He took a long blow and used the force to open the distance between Fu Nanzhi, but the eyebrow-leveling stick in his hand could not withstand the heavy blow that connected the heart, and cracks had already appeared.

"Cough cough cough cough~"

Fu Nanzhi did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it. He barely supported his body with a stick and coughed violently.

"Master Nanzhi, are you okay?"

Gu Jianqiu hurriedly stepped forward to help. He helped Fu Nanzhi onto the chair.

"I am fine."

Fu Nanzhi shook his head: "It's amazing. It seems that even if I played in person yesterday, I would not be your opponent. My martial arts gym has not been wronged."

"Master Nanzhi is ill, so even if I win, I won't win with force. I'm very curious, though. The electrocardiogram of Master Nazhi's last move just now seems to be different from that of my daughter."

"Five Elements Boxing is known as the art passed down by the Yellow Emperor, so it is naturally unique. That girl's equipment is her strength, but her skills are not good enough. Oh, I'm not used to the new vocabulary you have learned, it's called heart electricity, right? Ahem. ~"

Fu Nanzhi coughed for a while, and it took a long time to calm down. He signaled that he was fine, and Gu Jianqiu stepped aside.

"Actually, it's very common for men to get married when they are older, and for women to get married when they are older. I am not an old-fashioned person. As long as you are in love with each other, I have no objection to you dating Le Mei, but..."

Fu Nanzhi's expression suddenly became fierce: "My Five Elements Quan lineage has always been indispensable, with as few as two or three people, and as many as more than ten people. The requirements for the character of the disciples even exceed the martial arts qualifications. One word is benevolence, and two words are called benevolence. Jian. Nowadays, the world is not ancient, and the inheritance of all sects is in decline. The martial arts schools are getting bigger and bigger, but the true inheritance is getting less and less. As long as you give money, you are a blind man, a lame, a bandit in the green forest, and the martial arts schools will accept everything. Some Disciples of martial arts sects parade around the market with their high-profile signs and form gangs. Their style is no different from gangs. My branch of Five Elements Boxing has been in decline since the time of the third-generation ancestor Hong Acai. Although it was passed down to me, Fu Nanzhi, it has no influence. , but the thousand-year-old motto of "Benevolence and Zhongzheng" has always been upheld. I have sworn that even if Five Elements Quan is expelled from the association and disappears from the mother planet, I will never accept registered disciples who pretend to be disciples. In order to prevent the rabble from destroying Five Elements Quan in the future. reputation, Jianqiu, if you want to worship me as your teacher, you must take the six precepts in front of the Yellow Emperor's statue and make the ten major oaths before you can enter the true inheritance of my Five Elements Sect. Please think carefully before answering me."

Gu Jianqiu looked up at the portrait of the Yellow Emperor hanging high in the hall. He thought for a while and then said: "Master Nanzhi, I heard that the oaths and rules of each school are very different. Can you explain the content of the Six Precepts and the Ten Major Oaths? ?”

"Of course, no problem. You can worship the Yellow Emperor statue first."

Gu Jianqiu stood up and bowed to the Yellow Emperor's statue.

Fu Nanzhi's voice came from behind: "Disciples of the Five Elements, to the end of their physical life, they must not be dissolute or commit adultery with women. Can you hold on now?"

"Can hold."

"Disciples of the Five Elements should live up to their physical and mental longevity, and should not rely on the strong to bully the weak or create something out of nothing. Can you hold on to it now?"

"Can hold."

Gu Jianqiu said he could hold the five bans in a row. "Disciples of the Five Elements must live up to their physical and mental longevity, and must not show off their ferocious fighting or hurt people's lives. Can you hold on now?"

"..."

Gu Jianqiu remained silent.

Fu Nanzhi took a deep look at Gu Jianqiu, and then said: "Please don't take offense to something. Jiangning's martial arts world has not been troubled for many years. A young hero has emerged from the plains, and you used your real name again, so I trust you." Some friends are asking about your life experience, including about your brother Gu Xilou."

"The transmission of Chinese martial arts has always been no small matter, let alone the Five Elements Boxing that has been passed down for thousands of years. Of course, you must be clean when accepting disciples. There is nothing wrong with what Master Nanzhi did."

"Your brother is somewhat famous in Jiangning, and I have heard about it in the past. People from the Zhengqi Association have always paid close attention to him. I heard that he was also a registered disciple of Master Baoguang, the previous abbot of Jiming Temple. I deeply regret his death. Pity."

"I haven't heard my eldest brother mention that he has a master."

"Master Baoguang has passed away for more than ten years. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."

Gu Jianqiu recalled his elder brother's dying face. Was it because of this that he dragged his seriously injured body to Jiming Temple?

Did he want to see his master again before he died?

He took a deep breath and said: "Thank you, Master Nanzhi, you solved a problem that I have always been unable to figure out."

Fu Nanzhi looked at the young man in front of him. His heartbeat was like a white cloud, and he couldn't see any anger, which made him unable to figure it out.

"I heard Master Liu Tong say that when he first sparred with you, you only had four ECGs. In just one month, your ECGs have increased to ten. Your attainments in charging weapons have even increased. It is no less than a master who has worked hard for decades. I am not curious about what secrets you have. Today is no longer a closed world. Heavenly beings are coming in droves, and anything can happen. But this morning, the big gangster Xiong Kuohai did My son Fopi died in the alley, and the murderer was also a master of rechargeable weapons. There are many rumors in the Jiangning market that it was Xiong Kuohai who killed your eldest brother, which made me have to think about it. So when I entered the door, I had Tempted."

"Master Liu Tong said he would keep my heartbeat secret. Hong Sheng's successor is really unreliable."

Gu Jianqiu laughed. But it seemed that he didn't hear the second half of Fu Nanzhi's sentence.

Fu Nanzhi laughed: "Ever since Master Gan Hu recognized your martial arts and gave you the Iron Finger Tiger as a gift, the National Martial Arts Association has noticed you for a long time. It doesn't matter whether you use your real name or not, and whether you hide your heartbeat or not."

After a pause, Fu Nanzhi said again: "Jianqiu, the Six Precepts and Ten Oaths have been circulated in the Five Elements Sect for thousands of years. I can't break the rules for you. I don't care what you did in the past. As long as you abide by the Six Precepts and Ten Oaths in the future. Take the ten oaths and make ten oaths. The Five Elements Boxing Gym is your second home. People like Xiong Kuohai may appear to be prosperous, but in fact their prosperity is uncertain. They may not necessarily be decapitated or blown up by bombs one day while sleeping. In heaven, you don’t have to care about him at all.”

"Master Nanzhi, I'm sorry."

Gu Jianqiu didn't hesitate.

Zhu Shouchang in the Song Dynasty and Zhang Zangying in the Tang Dynasty.

In the old days, Zhang Zangying's whole family was killed by thieves. Only seventeen-year-old Zhang Zangying survived by chance. Later, he met the thief in the downtown area and killed him with a knife.

Fu Nanzhi felt a little sad: "God's way is good, China must be redressed, and people's hearts are willing to help, although every man will take revenge. I understand your position. Maybe the Five Elements Boxing is really out of date, but I can't let you use the Five Elements Sect. The martial arts kills people. It’s me who should say I’m sorry. The Guoshu Association and Xiong Kuo Hai are like fire and water. Even if someone in Wuguan Street guesses something, they won’t tell Xiong Kuo Hai. Don’t worry about this."

……

After a while, Gu Jianqiu and Fu Nanzhi walked out of the house. Fu Nanzhi was still in poor health and coughed from time to time: "Lemei, please help me with Master Gu."

Fu Lemei originally looked forward to it, but when she heard this, she was stunned, her eyes moved slightly, and she nodded.

"By the way, Master Nanzhi."

Before leaving, Gu Jianqiu stopped Fu Nanzhi: "Junior believes that if the house is not swept, the dust will not disappear by itself."
