No taboos in the world

Chapter 90: Another Master, Dragon Subduing Technique
Half a month later, in Luoyang city.

In front of a large house, the three dusty men revealed their identities and were quickly led inside.

"Hahaha, the great Shaolin monk has come to visit us. Our headquarters is suddenly very prosperous today!"

The person coming towards me was a sturdy middle-aged man with bright eyes, a long beard reaching his chest, a calm temperament and a deep voice.

"Amitabha, Master Wang, you are too polite. I am sorry to bother you."

"Hey, Master, why are you so polite? Although we haven't seen each other for many years, the scene of us fighting side by side is still vivid in my mind. You have come from afar today, so even if we can't drink together, we should still reminisce about the past!"

"Boss Wang is still so heroic." Xuan smiled bitterly and introduced: "Boss Wang, these two are my junior brothers, Xuan Cheng and Xuan Chen."

When Wang Jiantong heard Xuan Cheng's name, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh? This is Master Xuan Cheng?"

Xuan Cheng clasped his hands together and said, "I greet Boss Wang."

"Master, you are so polite! I have heard of your Dharma name a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet you. It is my honor to meet you today."

"Boss Wang, you're too polite." Xuan Cheng smiled faintly.

Wang Jiantong looked at Xuan Chen again, and his smile suddenly became more kind: "Master Xuan Chen, Master Xuan Ku praised you a lot in his letter."

Hong Chen chuckled and said, "Brother, your praise of me should not be taken seriously."

"Hahaha, I think you are too modest! Well, it is a happy occasion that the three of you have come to the Beggars' Sect headquarters today. Come in with me quickly to welcome you!"

After a while, they entered the house and sat down one by one. The vegetarian food on the table was still steaming. Wang Jiantong said, "This is the vegetarian food I ordered from the largest restaurant in the city. It doesn't contain any meat or fish. You can enjoy it without worry."

Xuan Ku and Xuan Cheng thanked him, but Hong Chen just curled his lips.

Wang Jiantong couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Master Xuanchen doesn't seem very satisfied?"

Hong Chen wanted to explain and eat it, but Xuan Ku took the initiative to say, "Boss Wang, Xuan Chen is a lay disciple, and he has no restrictions on food outside the temple. Besides, he has always liked to eat meat."

"Haha, okay, okay, I overlooked that. Someone, bring some meat and vegetables!"

Hong Chen immediately stood up and moved the stool aside, separating the meat and vegetarian dishes.

Wang Jiantong, Xuan Ku and Xuan Cheng chatted with each other over a glass of vegetarian wine, while Hong Chen listened and ate his meal. After a long while, Wang Jiantong led Xuan Ku and Xuan Cheng to the study room, and at the same time asked a Beggar Gang disciple to take Hong Chen to have a good look around the Beggar Gang headquarters.

"Young Master, please come this way." The Beggar Gang disciple's clothes were not bright and beautiful, but at least they were clean and tidy.

Hong Chen thanked him and followed the other party's instructions.

The Luoyang Beggars' Gang headquarters covers a large area, and it is also the headquarters of all the major functional departments of the gang. There are quite a few Beggars' Gang elders and disciples coming and going.

Hong Chen followed the other party obediently, just watching without saying anything, thinking without asking. Even if the other party asked him where else he wanted to go, he would just say that he would follow the arrangements.

After a while, the two men stepped into the corridor and heard a noisy shouting in front of them. Soon, the view in front of them suddenly became clear. On a huge square, there were groups of Beggar Gang disciples of different ages, each of them was practicing martial arts with different people.

Hong Chen looked around, and when the person leading the way saw his expression, he also stopped.

After looking for a moment, Hong Chen nodded slightly.

Of course he had no idea of ​​the martial arts these Beggar Gang disciples were practicing, but as a master of traditional Chinese martial arts, he could still see the methods and subtleties of the moves.

Putting aside the internal force (can we put this aside for now?), there is not much difference between the moves and routines of Chinese martial arts and martial arts, because the human body is constant. Except for some evil skills, the vast majority of moves, no matter how varied, must conform to the human body and the laws of movement. It's just that the birth of internal force allows martial arts to break through the limits and re-create the peak based on Chinese martial arts.

Moreover, in the ancient world where martial arts existed, the mentality of martial artists was completely different from that of later generations. The efforts of these martial artists were similar to those of later students, because this was what they relied on for survival. Each set of martial arts moves had been verified and adjusted in actual combat, and naturally, life-and-death struggles were indispensable.

It's just like the Taizu Changquan, what these Beggar Gang disciples practiced, although there are some shadows compared to what he had seen, but if you look closely, they seem to be two completely different things.

Therefore, even just watching brought him rich supplements and unique inspiration.

After standing there for a long time, he came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, and asked curiously, "Is it okay for me to see them practicing?"

Learning martial arts secretly is a big taboo in the martial arts world.

Arriving at the Beggars' Sect headquarters, Hong Chen, who had mastered the three styles of the Dragon Subduing Palm, knew the agreement between Master Lingjing and the previous leader of the Beggars' Sect, but he still felt a little guilty secretly.

Unexpectedly, the other party smiled and said, "Little Master, you worry too much. The leader has told me that except for the secret places in the Beggars' Sect headquarters, Little Master can go to other places, including this martial arts training ground."

Hong Chen was startled for a moment, then his eyebrows moved, as if he was thinking about something.

Afterwards, he followed the other party for a while, walked through 90% of the headquarters, and returned to the front hall. He happened to meet Xuan Ku and Xuan Cheng who came out.

As soon as they met, Xuan Ku said, "Junior brother, go meet Gang Leader Wang."

Hong Chen didn't feel strange and nodded: "Okay."

study.

Wang Jiantong sat at the table, smiling broadly. "Xuan Chen... never mind, I'll just call you Hong Chen. I heard that you have already mastered three of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

"Yes."

"Can you show me how to perform it?"

Hong Chen nodded, retreated to an empty space, bent his legs slightly, drew circles with his palms on both sides, and the internal force rose from his dantian, penetrated into his arms, and pushed forward.

Immediately, the roar of a strong wind was heard. Although it was light and short, it already had the force of a young tiger roaring in the valley.

Due to the lack of internal strength, the palm power quickly decayed after leaving his hand, and ultimately only blew Wang Jiantong's long beard slightly.

However, this was enough to shock him. Immediately, Wang Jiantong stroked his long beard, raised his head and laughed: "Okay, okay! Keep going!"

Hong Chen put his hands in front of his chest, one up and one down, with his palms facing each other, twisting his wrists to exert his strength, crossing his palms, and suddenly changing into fists, and suddenly raising his elbows. Avoiding the sharp edge and accumulating strength, he exploded at close range like thunder!

The Great Ming Dynasty began and ended with six emperors, who rode six dragons to control the sky.

He changed his tactics again, raising both palms to the top of his head, circulating his internal energy throughout his body, and suddenly slapped them downwards. Immediately, wind rose from nowhere, his hair flew, and his monk's robes fluttered.

When dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow.

Three styles have passed.

Wang Jiantong stood up and walked quickly to Hong Chen. His already bright eyes shone even more attractively. He put one hand on Hong Chen's shoulder, like a pair of pliers, and said in a loud voice, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

Hong Chen was stunned and couldn't help blinking.

"Haha, I know what you're thinking. In fact, the previous leader and I are of the same generation. In other words, Master Lingjing and I can also be considered people of the same generation. It's just that we belong to different sects, and Master Lingjing is indeed a senior, so Master Xuanku and I are also equals. In addition, the previous leader has passed away. If I accept disciples on his behalf, it would be better for me to accept you directly into my sect. This way, I can save a lot of trouble. Do you understand?"

"I see." Hong Chen nodded gently. To put it bluntly, if he worshipped a dead person, he might not be able to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but if he worshipped the current leader, Wang Jiantong could directly teach him the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms without considering other people's opinions. This was the leader's right. Of course, before confirming Hong Chen as the next leader, he could not teach all the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. This was also the rule that the leader needed to abide by.

Wang Jiantong also nodded continuously, smiling even more: "Master Xuanku is right, you are indeed smart! Then let me ask you again, are you willing to become my disciple?"

"Disciple Hong Chen, hello to Master!"

Wang Jiantong was overjoyed. He helped Hong Chen up and began to teach him the mantra of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms on the spot.

There was no record of the mental method in Hong Chen's booklet, only the moves and meridian diagrams. The most important mental method formula was only passed down orally, not in writing.

The arrogant dragon will regret: Things will turn to the opposite extreme, and the arrogant will regret. With the extreme yang force, wait until the end of the strong crossbow, regret will bring good luck, while stinginess will bring disaster.

Time riding six dragons: this is when the yin is at its extreme and six yangs are born, it turns from contraction to expansion, attacks from three directions of head, body and tail, and the energy flows from the dantian to the fingers.

Dragons fight in the wild: The earth's position is Kun, and a gentleman carries the world with virtue. Dragons fight in the wild, and their yin is connected to the earth.

A true word is passed on, and a thousand volumes of books are falsely passed on.

After Wang Jiantong's teachings, Hong Chen suddenly realized something.

An hour later, the two returned to the front hall.

"Master Xuan Ku, why don't we let him stay in the Beggars' Sect first?" Wang Jiantong made a suggestion as soon as they met.

Xuan Ku did not change color when he heard this, and he had obviously expected this. He nodded and said, "Of course. I just happened to be going to Kunlun Mountain, so he can stay in the Beggars' Sect and learn martial arts from Master Wang. After all, he is now Master Wang's disciple."

Wang Jiantong was overjoyed: "Yes, he is also my disciple!"

As a result, Hong Chen was left at the headquarters of the Beggars' Sect in Luoyang to practice martial arts under the guidance of his master Wang Jiantong.

Xuan Ku and Xuan Cheng left Luoyang for Kunlun early the next morning. When Hong Chen asked them what they were going to do, they both avoided answering and only told him to study hard and not slack off.

After Wang Jiantong accepted a disciple, he temporarily handed over a lot of gang affairs to many elders to help share the responsibility, and devoted himself to teaching Hong Chen.

As a first-rate or even top martial arts master, Wang Jiantong not only has profound internal strength and superb martial arts skills, but also has broad knowledge and rich experience in the martial arts world. Hong Chen wants to learn all of these.

In addition to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Wang Jiantong also taught the Huntian Gong, Taizu Changquan and Chansi Guna Shou. Because the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are simple in form and are taught together with the mental method, if you want to improve, you need to practice repeatedly and think about it. There is not much that the master can teach.

The Hun Tian Gong replaced the Shaolin basic internal strength skills, making the cultivation of internal strength faster.

Half a year later, Xuan Ku brought Xuan Cheng back to Luoyang. They both looked at least two or three years older, but they still did not reveal their whereabouts and goals to Hong Chen.

Wang Jiantong was reluctant to let Hong Chen go, but he couldn't break the agreement, so he could only hold Hong Chen aside and give him some instructions for a long time before letting him go.

After returning to Shaolin, Hong Chen shifted his focus to the Burning Wood Sword Technique and the Dragon Capturing Technique.

After that, he moved every six months, traveling back and forth between the Shaolin Temple in Songshan and the Beggars' Gang headquarters in Luoyang.
