Martial Arts Song

Chapter 2 Tiger-shaped Gate

"Chen Qing..."

Chen Qing replied subconsciously.

After answering, he came back to his senses and was surprised.

what happened?

How could it be this cheongsam woman who came out?

Where are those two ruffians, Sun Bing and Luo Gang? !

"Chen Qing, Chen Qing."

When Chen Qing was surprised, the cheongsam woman read his name twice, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is rare to find someone like you in this era."

After praising her, she looked Chen Qing up and down again and said calmly: "You are still here at this time, you must not be studying, right? Judging from your clothes, you don't look like a rich family, and you probably can't afford to live there. Is there a house nearby? Did you come from the edge of the city? Given your age and physical weakness, there will be no companies or shops nearby to recruit you. At most, you can only sell newspapers, cigarettes and candies, or shine and repair shoes. Sort of like that, and you don’t have a canvas bag for newspapers or a hanging box for cigarettes and candies, and there is an empty shoe stall over at Star Glory… Are you a shoemaker?”

"..."

In just a moment of observation, the other party saw everything about Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was speechless in response to this.

After telling Chen Qing's profession, the cheongsam woman said: "The job of a shoemaker is a bit difficult to make a living, let alone a future. For the sake of your sense of justice just now, I will give you a chance to change your destiny. .”

"Ok?"

Chen Qing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

The cheongsam woman ignored his stunned look and walked to the roadside. While waving to stop the rickshaw, she continued to talk to herself: "My name is He Xihong. You go to the 'Tiger-shaped Gate' on Songshan Road. If you submit your name to me, you can learn boxing there for free for a year. Whether you can seize this opportunity to change your destiny depends on you."

While she was talking, a rickshaw quickly stopped in front of her.

"Go to Songshan Road, Tiger-shaped Gate."

After boarding the rickshaw and reporting her address, the cheongsam woman who called herself He Xihong gradually drove away in the rickshaw.

Chen Qing, who had been watching the other party's figure disappear in a daze, suddenly recalled the doubts in his heart before. Driven by curiosity, he carefully came to the entrance of the alley ahead and looked inside.

The next second, his eyes suddenly opened wide!

In the alley, apart from a few trash cans, there were only two people, Sun Bing and Luo Gang, lying in the alley, seemingly fainted.

"This……"

……

After returning to the shoe stall, Chen Qing quickly put away the unfolded shoe box, then left the Grand Cross Street with it on his cross body.

It wasn't that he was in a hurry to go to the "tiger-shaped gate", but that he used a whistle to pretend to be a patrolman. If he didn't leave quickly, he would probably be arrested by a nearby patrolman who heard the whistle and came.

Although the patrols in this world don't pay much attention to civilian security cases, they are very united internally.

As long as you hear the whistle blowing, the nearby patrol officers will basically come over to take a look at the situation and provide support if necessary.

Chen Qing didn't want to be caught in the patrol room for pretending to be a patrol officer.

Of course, Chen Qing would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in going to that "tiger-shaped gate" to learn boxing.

The level of science and technology in this world has only developed thermal weapons of the level of guns, bombs, and large-scale, large-scale destructive thermal weapons.

Moreover, due to the industrial level, firearms are not widely available, and cannot reach the level where everyone in the patrol room is equipped with a gun.

For example, the new assistant patrol officers patrolling various districts in Qianyang City are only equipped with a stick and a whistle. Catching people relies more on their skills.

Similarly, if ordinary people without any background want to become famous in a society where gangs and monopolies dominate all walks of life, the only thing they can rely on is their skills.

If you want to rely on your brains, you must first get ahead, have the right to speak, and make others listen to you.

In this kind of atmosphere, martial arts schools that teach people boxing and martial arts are particularly popular.

For example, there are more than a dozen well-established martial arts schools in Qianyang City, and there are countless people who teach boxing privately.

In the more than three months since Chen Qing traveled back in time, in order to avoid the two gangsters Sun Bing and Luo Gang, he left Daziji Street every day and detoured in all directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of Qianyang City, almost covering the entire Qianyang City. Walk through it.

I also saw many martial arts schools along the way.

During this period, he also thought about learning some boxing and kicking in these martial arts schools, hoping to defeat Sun Bing and Luo Gang and no longer be bullied.

But unfortunately, the monthly tuition fees for those well-established martial arts schools were very expensive, which he could not afford at all, and Chen Qing had no way to know about the masters who taught boxing privately.

In addition, Chen Qing had never seen what these martial arts masters were like in action, so he didn't know if they were really useful. Moreover, he had to set up a stall to shine shoes every day, so he didn't have any extra energy to learn, so this idea was abandoned. That’s it.

But now, after witnessing the cheongsam woman named He Xihong knocking Sun Bing and Luo Gang unconscious in the alley, Chen Qing's heart suddenly became hot.

"Although I haven't witnessed the process with my own eyes, there is a big difference in physical fitness between men and women. Women have little chance of winning one-on-one, let alone one-on-two, and they are still unscathed. This sister definitely has real skills!"

By analogy, the "tiger-shaped gate" mentioned by the other party must be genuine.

And most importantly, because of his righteous deed just now, the other party promised to let him attend middle school for free for one year!
Of course Chen Qing would not miss this great opportunity!
After closing the stall and leaving Grand Cross Street, he headed straight towards Songshan Road.

About thirty minutes later, Chen Qing arrived at Songshan Road.

Qianyang City is divided into six major districts, namely Yunyang District in the center, Nanba District in the south, Jinguan District in the north, Hexi District in the west, Wuqing District in the east, and Qianyang City. Jiuhua District is more than thirty kilometers away.

Songshan Road is still within the scope of Yunyang District, but it is almost approaching Nanba District. The surrounding houses have become shorter from four or five stories to two or three stories, and the people on the street have become much sparser.

After Chen Qing arrived here, he found the location of the "tiger-shaped gate" without much effort.

The "Tiger-shaped Gate" is located in the middle of this street. It occupies a very wide area. The outermost is a two- to three-meter cement wall. A portal is opened in the middle of this wall. There are three stone steps cast in front of the door. On both sides are placed a stone tiger that is about as tall as a human being. A plaque hangs high on the door, engraved with three powerful characters "Tiger Shaped Door"!

When Chen Qing arrived, the door of the "tiger-shaped gate" was already open, and the shouts of exercise coming from inside could be heard through the wall.

After Chen Qing hesitated for a moment, he stepped in.

When he walked into the door, the first thing that caught Chen Qing's eyes was a front yard of thirty to forty square meters. In this front yard, there were about a dozen teenagers wearing loose training clothes with white upper body and black lower body. Two strong young men were standing there. Walk around the pile under your supervision.

One person at a time, they kept going around in different postures.

Before Chen Qing had time to take a closer look, he saw one of the two strong young men walking towards him and asked: "Little brother, who are you looking for?"

Chen Qing heard this and replied: "Sister He Xihong asked me to come. She said she could let me learn boxing here for free for a year."

"Senior Sister Hong?"

The strong young man who asked and the other strong young man were both stunned.

They did receive this explanation, but Senior Sister Hong's original words were: "If a young shoemaker comes to learn boxing in the past few days, he will accept the offer and get a year's tuition free of charge."

This sentence made them think that the other party would come at least tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Who knew it would come so fast!

You know, Senior Sister Hong has only been back for less than ten minutes...

While these thoughts flashed through his mind, the strong young man who asked the question replied: "Little brother, wait a moment, I will ask Senior Sister Hong." After that, the strong young man turned around and walked towards the depths of the tiger-shaped gate.

Chen Qing nodded slightly when he saw this, and then while waiting, he looked curiously at the dozen teenagers walking around the pile.

……

Tiger-shaped gate, backyard.

In a separate courtyard of about twenty square meters.

He Xihong, who had changed into loose training clothes, sat in front of the stone table in the center of the courtyard, lightly closing her eyes and frowning slightly.

Next to her, an energetic old man with gray hair on his temples, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, wearing a white training suit, was standing behind her, with the same frown on her head. Keep applying needles.

After a while, He Xihong's head was covered with tiny silver needles.

When the last two silver needles as thin as a millimeter of light penetrated into He Xihong's temples, the old man stepped back with a sigh of relief and asked, "Ahong, how do you feel?"

He Xihong slowly opened her eyes, still frowning slightly and replied: "It seems... of no use."

Hearing this, the old man frowned and sighed: "It seems that the white-skinned pigs over there in the Western Continent do have something. I'm afraid you'll have to check with the people over at Old Turtle."

After hearing this, He Xihong's slightly frowned brows couldn't help but frown more tightly, and she was about to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, before she could make a sound, she kept silent and looked at the small courtyard as if she was aware of it. of arches.

The old man also noticed it and looked over together.

After a while, a strong young man was seen walking into the backyard and outside the archway of the courtyard. He said loudly: "Senior Sister Hong, the little shoemaker is here. Do you want to come out and take a look?"

This is because He Xihong wants to confirm it to prevent someone from pretending to be someone - although the probability is very small.

In the small courtyard.

A trace of surprise flashed through He Xihong's eyes. She obviously didn't expect that the little shoemaker would leave his job as a shoemaker so quickly and come here!

She had just come back not long ago, and she was taking a rickshaw, which meant that the little shoemaker had packed up her things almost as soon as she left.

This decisiveness made her a little impressed and a little interested.

"Chi~"

A slight puff of air suddenly came, and all the silver needles stuck on He Xihong's head flew down!

Then, she stood up and walked out of the small courtyard.

When the old man on the side saw this, he was slightly surprised, and at the same time he followed him out of the courtyard.

"Sister."

The strong young man outside the small courtyard nodded and shouted after He Xihong came out.

When he saw the old man walking out, he seemed startled and respectfully shouted: "Master!"

The old man is the master of the Tiger-shaped Sect, Huang Xunhu!
"Ah."

Facing the greetings from the strong young man, Huang Xunhu nodded slightly and said calmly: "A Ming, go and take the little shoemaker to the middle courtyard. After your senior sister Hong confirms, teach him the 'tiger step' first."

"Yes!"

After hearing this, the strong young man known as A Ming quickly bowed slightly and responded. After answering, he turned and left the backyard.

After the strong young man left, Huang Xunhu looked at He Xihong and said: "Ahong, you need to rest more now. Don't worry too much about other things. I will write a letter to 'Old Turtle' later. I'll take you over there to have a look when they get a reply."

He Xihong heard this, frowned slightly and thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "Okay, then I'll trouble Master."

"Why are you so polite to Master?"

Huang Xunhu waved his hand carelessly.

……

Tiger-shaped gate, front yard.

When the strong young man returned, Chen Qing quickly looked away from the teenagers who were circling the pile.

The strong young man naturally saw Chen Qing's movements, but he didn't pay attention. After all, as expected, he would also teach these students the "tiger step" they practiced.

I just heard him smile and say to Chen Qing: "Little brother, please come with me."

After that, he turned around and walked towards the middle courtyard.

When Chen Qing saw this, he naturally followed quickly.

Soon, the two passed through the arch in the front yard and arrived at the middle yard of the tiger-shaped gate.

The middle courtyard of the tiger-shaped gate is much wider than the front courtyard!
There is a martial arts training ground of dozens of square meters. There are rows of weapon racks around the training ground. Various weapons are placed horizontally or vertically on the weapon racks, such as knives, guns, clubs, swords, axes, hammers, hooks, claws, etc. .

In addition, there is an ancestral hall on the side of the central courtyard. The door is open and there are rows of tablets enshrined inside. Due to the distance, Chen Qing cannot see clearly, but he can probably guess that they are the ancestors of the Tiger-shaped Gate. them.

"My name is Yang Ming. You can call me Senior Brother Yang Ming from now on."

After the strong young man took Chen Qing to the martial arts training ground in the middle courtyard, he came to the entrance of the ancestral hall, led Chen Qing to face the ancestral hall, turned around and said.

After hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and called: "Senior Brother Yang Ming."

Yang Ming nodded, and then glanced in the direction of the arch connecting the middle courtyard and the backyard.

He Xihong and Huang Xunhu were already waiting here.

After seeing Yang Ming looking over, He Xihong nodded slightly and confirmed Chen Qing's identity.

Seeing this, Yang Ming looked away, looked at Chen Qing and said, "I have just confirmed with Senior Sister Hong that starting from today, you can learn boxing for free at Huxingmen for one year."

"Really? Thank you, Senior Brother Yang Ming!"

When Chen Qing heard this, his face showed timely joy and he clasped his fists in thanks.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Senior Sister Hong."

Yang Ming waved his hand, then stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "Have you ever practiced any boxing, kicking or martial arts before?"

Chen Qing shook his head when he heard this.

Whether in his previous life or this life, he has never practiced these.

There are no conditions in this life. Although I heard some things in my previous life, it was a society ruled by law. My uncles preached every day that "if you lose, you will be hospitalized, if you win, you will go to jail." As a good and law-abiding citizen, he will naturally not make trouble for his uncle. They increase their workload.

What's more, his physical condition does not allow for too intense exercise.

"Have you never practiced anything?"

Seeing Chen Qing shaking his head, Yang Ming frowned slightly and said, "Okay, in that case, let me first tell you about the origin and essence of boxing and kicking."
