I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

After an hour, Su Hao started doing push-ups, 20 in each group, and did 5 groups in a row until he collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion.

Then squat with your hands on your head, and finally do sit-ups.

This is a modern exercise package he designed for himself. It exercises the strength of his arms, waist, abdomen, and legs respectively. It is helpful whether he is practicing tan legs or strengthening his body.

Su Hao's standard is to do every task until he is exhausted and lies on the ground motionless.

After finishing a set meal, the whole morning passed.

He couldn't bear it for a long time, so he took out the food he had brought back from the refrigerator, and ate the steamed buns and braised pork mixed with the sauce.

I took a shower at noon, rested for another 2 hours, and officially started doing standing exercises in the afternoon.

This time, Su Hao improved the procedure. While squatting down, he moved a stool to the side and pressed a finger on the stool. This way, he could share the pressure on his legs as much as possible, and more importantly, he could keep his body balance.

Tan Zuochen also pointed out to him when he first started teaching him that it is best for beginners to use external forces to maintain body balance in this way.

With the help of a stool, Su Hao lasted 5 minutes on each leg this time. He rested for a while and continued, doing three sets in a row.

Until the muscles in both legs ached.

In the end, Su Hao was so tired that he lay on the floor and looked at the roof, "Sure enough, nothing in this world can be achieved overnight. It would be great if I can get some other experience packs next time."

A single Chinese martial arts experience package to improve one's understanding seems to be a bit insufficient.

At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, Su Hao dressed up and went downstairs to go out, preparing to go to Tan Zuochen's place for a second medicinal bath. He bought some food on the way.

in warehouse.

It was still the big bathtub that smelled of blood from last time. Su Haochi soaked his naked body in it, while Tan Zuochen continued to sit on the coffee table with his legs crossed and enjoy the braised pork and beer that Su Hao brought.

Take the time to review from time to time.

"Last time I taught you the secrets of Zhuang Kung Fu and hard hitting. This time I will tell you what is the 'way of advance and retreat'. Fighting with others is actually the same as cooking. Stir fry with high heat, stir fry with low heat. Or just don’t fry it and fry it another day.”

"As long as you seize the opportunity, find the flaw, go up and strike with one strike, and when you are unable to catch it or the opponent's defense is tight and you can't take advantage, you can retreat in time and look for the next opening. This is Tan Leg's skill Way forward and back.”

"The key to advance and retreat is actually not simply 'retreat' and 'advance', but when to retreat and when to advance. How to grasp this opportunity, no one can teach you, you can only rely on yourself to explore in actual combat. , because the opponents you face are different every time.”

Tan Zuochen had eaten and drank enough, wiped his mouth, and lit a cigarette, "Let me ask you, if you want to practice the way of advance and retreat, besides grasping the timing, what else do you need?"

In the bathtub, Su Hao thought for a while and said: "The strength of the legs, as well as the body skills and speed."

"It's almost the same. We've analyzed the characteristics of Tan Leg with you before. When hitting someone, use your hands and feet together like a four-arm Nezha. If the opponent doesn't have any flaws, force them to reveal them. 'Advance' is like a storm, and 'retreat' is clean." Lisuo, hit whenever you want and leave when you want."

Tan Zuo Chen smacked his lips, "Actually, having the initiative to run away is the biggest advantage of our Tan Zuo discipline. We can keep the green hills without worrying about having firewood. As long as we don't encounter a master of Qinggong, the opponent will have nothing to do with us."

Su Hao asked curiously: "Master, is there really Qing Gong?"

Tan Zuochen thought for a while and said: "It's true. Qing Gong is more difficult to practice than internal strength. It is basically extinct. Generally, those who have mastered Qing Gong have basically touched the threshold of internal strength. You'd better be lucky that you won't encounter it. Putting Qing Gong aside Let’s talk about it, our Tan’s leg strength can be used to our advantage.”

Su Hao's curiosity was gradually aroused. If there really is a lineage of Chinese martial arts in this world, how would he deal with weird situations in Chinese martial arts?

"Master, you know that I work in the Miscellaneous Department and I often come into contact with some strange and unclean things. Have you ever come into contact with these things? How can you protect yourself when the time comes?"

Tan Zuochen glanced at Su Hao in the bathtub in surprise, then turned and entered the bedroom.

After a while, he took out a yellowed talisman.

"I spent a lot of money to get this talisman from a Taoist temple back then. If you encounter something unclean recently, remember to bring this talisman with you. I won't ask for more, so I'll transfer it for 1000 Hong Kong dollars. It’s ready for you.”

Tan Zuochen pouted, looking like he was taking advantage of you.

This was like opening up the conversation. Tan Zuochen's expression gradually became cautious, "Actually, I have encountered the dirty things you mentioned in my early years."

Chapter 92 The blood evil spirit can ward off ghosts and gods

"I was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, and I was still in my hometown in Lu Province. I went to my master's house every day to learn boxing, and I went back in the morning and back in the evening, almost rain or shine."

"We have to pass through a dry grave on the way."

"At that time, I was at an age where I was not afraid of anything. In addition, after learning martial arts, I was more courageous than my peers. Even if I was allowed to sleep in the middle of a grave all night, it would be okay. Compared to these ethereal things, I was more afraid of them. mosquito."

"It was the season between spring and summer. It had just rained for a week, the sky had just cleared up, and the road was still a little muddy. When I came back from my master's house that night, I passed by the cemetery and suddenly heard some unusual noises, like wild dogs. The sound of gnawing bones is coming from the grave."

"I was thinking that there happened to be a new grave in this graveyard a few days ago. Maybe the burial was too shallow, or the coffin was too thin. If the body was dragged out by wild dogs, it would be too painful."

"I followed the sound and took a closer look, and found that there was indeed something standing on the new grave. It looked like a weasel. It was as furry and as big as an orange cat. It was worshiping the full moon in the sky. There was a black hole the size of a bowl on the grave beneath it, and several little weasels scurried in and out from time to time."

"I guessed something at that time. I was so angry that I stood on the spot and shouted, You beast, how dare you eat meat? I picked up a brick and threw it towards the entrance of the hole. I heard a whine immediately. I guess I hit a scurrying one. The weasel that came out also startled the monster that was worshiping the moon on the grave..."

Tan Zuochen's voice trembled, and he took a long puff of cigarette.

Su Hao in the bathtub had heard many stories about Huangpizi in his previous life, but he only knew that this thing was very evil.

In the Northeast, there was a saying that people believed in the Five Immortals.

The so-called 'Five Immortals' refer to "fox, yellow, white, willow and gray", corresponding to fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake and mouse respectively.

The weasel is one of the five immortals.

According to legend, these five immortals are both demons and immortals, good and evil. If you worship them, your family will be protected. On the contrary, if you offend them, you will be retaliated against.

In the world that Su Hao lived in in his previous life, he regarded this statement as a folk tale like feudal superstition, but after time traveling, the world he lives in now is different.

Since there are tricks, why can't there be five immortals?

No matter what, this yellow-skinned kid will always leave the impression that he has an IQ close to that of a human being, is extremely cunning, and is extremely vengeful.

Su Hao asked: "Master, is that Huang Pizi talking about other people's words and begging for a title from you?"

Tan Zuochen laughed disdainfully, "Where did you hear that? Beasts are beasts. Even if they have high IQs, they will never be able to speak human language in their entire lives."

Then his expression became solemn again.

"After the monster turned around, I saw its face clearly. It was also a yellow-skinned man, but its face was completely different from the yellow-skinned men I usually saw. On its head, there were three tufts of white hair, like It sticks to the forehead like a human’s bangs.”

"And its eyes were shining brightly under the moonlight. I actually saw a hint of anger and ridicule unique to humans. Even though I am fearless, I was a little scared to see such a strange scene alone in the cemetery. ”

"I turned around and ran away without saying anything..."

"The beast caught up from behind, climbed up his trouser legs and onto my shoulders, and breathed out at me while I was turning around...I felt so confused at that moment that I grabbed it and threw it to the ground. , running forward desperately until exhaustion."

"Finally, people from the village found me in a nearby ditch. After that, I fell ill and lay at home for five or six days before I recovered."

Hearing this, Su Hao almost understood, "Is the master intoxicated by its stinky fart? Poisoned?"

Tan Zuochen shook his head with determination, "It's not Huangpizi's stinky fart, it's just a breath. Although it smells bad, it's still bearable. It's like someone who hasn't brushed his teeth for several months. I'm not poisoned, but evil. , kept circling near the grave, seemingly running, but actually circling. The beast must have been looking at me nearby with a proud look on his face, and he ran like this for most of the night until he was exhausted."

"Fortunately, I fell in a ditch and not a pond, otherwise nothing would have happened."

Su Hao felt that the water in the bath was almost cold. He stood up and shook off the water droplets. He put on the pajamas prepared nearby, tied his belt, and came to sit next to Tan Zuochen.

Also light up a cigarette.

Well, he is not simply absorbing some unknown knowledge of this era through Tan Zuochen, but the story itself has attracted him.

"Is it a ghost hitting the wall?"

Tan Zuochen shook his head again, "Yes and no."

"After I recovered from the illness, I told my master about this matter. He said something at that time, the evil spirit of blood can ward off ghosts and gods. The era he lived in was before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the country was in chaos, natural and man-made disasters, various Weird things happen."

Su Hao continued to ask, "What is blood evil energy?"

Tan Zuochen continued to explain: "The blood evil spirit usually refers to men who are healthy and energetic. Such people tend to have strong blood energy, and the evil spirit, 'Sha' Tong 'kill', refers to those who have killed on their hands. Life, a person who has contaminated human life."

"Have you ever heard of a saying that evil ghosts are also afraid of evil people? It doesn't matter where a good person is bullied or ridden by a good person. The evil person here does not refer to a simple bad person, but someone with a blood evil spirit. Angry people.”

"Such people were easy to find before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Some veterans who had gone to the battlefield and killed others had this thing on them. However, it was already after the founding of the People's Republic of China when I learned the art. Due to political reasons, such people became increasingly rare. ”

"Later, my master found a big fat man from the next village. The guy was only two years younger than me. He took advantage of the darkness to bring a ghost-head knife from home and put it in a knife box. This thing is also called a machete. It turns out that his ancestors were executioners, and this ghost-head knife has chopped off the heads of at least 100 prisoners."

"He walked with me a few times in the evening with the ghost head knife in his hand, and he never encountered ghosts breaking into the wall again. The grave that had a hole dug out before was also plugged with stones again."

Tan Zuochen tapped the yellow talisman on the coffee table with his hand, and finally concluded: "The blood evil spirit here refers not only to people, but also to objects, such as this ghost-headed knife. If you really encounter If you find something unclean, you can either seek help from someone or something with a blood evil spirit, or you can just try your luck and ask for a few yellow talismans."

"It's just that I've heard about some mages since I came to Hong Kong. Most of them are bluffing money. Those who are really capable either starve to death or find a place to hide in secret. They don't dare to expose their methods easily. Most of them are good for nothing. The end result, even if it’s to help people exorcise evil spirits.”

"You can buy this yellow talisman for 1000 Hong Kong dollars and see if it works."

Su Hao looked at the yellow talisman in front of him and murmured in his heart. Of course he wouldn't be able to use this thing. Even if he could use it, this yellow talisman would be old no matter how old it was. Even if it had been illuminated by someone and had some magic power, it would still be useless. The mana is probably dissipated as well.

Holding it in my hand now is at best a comfort to my heart.

But he couldn't say this directly, so Su Hao made an excuse and said: "Master, I don't want this yellow talisman anymore. I'm full of energy now, and you need this thing more than me."

Tan Zuochen glanced at Su Hao and took the yellow talisman back without saying a word, "If you don't want this yellow talisman, I actually know that there is a blood evil thing nearby."

Su Hao's eyes lit up instantly, he didn't expect such a gain.

"Where, what is it?"

Tan Zuochen pointed outside the warehouse, "The slaughterhouse that delivers hot water to us is a butcher's knife. I heard it has been passed down since before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has a history of no less than 100 years. But it’s not for killing people, it’s for killing pigs.”

"Although the effect is a bit poor, it can still play a role in exorcising evil spirits from the house."

"You work as an errand in the Miscellaneous Department. Even if you don't use this kind of blood evil thing at ordinary times, it may save your life at critical moments, so you should pay attention to inquire about it."

Su Hao nodded in agreement, "No wonder you have an old man in your family. If you have a treasure, Master, you are well-informed. I wonder if I can see this butcher's knife?"

There was a trace of pride on Tan Zuochen's face. He hadn't heard anyone flatter him for many years. "It shouldn't be difficult to meet him. If you want to borrow it, you will probably have to spend some money. I heard that this The butcher's knife was borrowed before to ward off evil spirits. It costs at least 3 Hong Kong dollars to borrow it once, and it needs to be guaranteed by someone."

"When the people with the bathtub come, I'll have a word with them."

After waiting for another 30 minutes, the tricycle that delivered water earlier appeared at the door of the warehouse. Two young men in short-sleeved clothes jumped out of it. The other party shouted loudly: "Tan Zuchen, is it faster this time?" Shao, you even called us specifically to urge us to come and get it."

Tan Zuochen picked up the half pack of cigarettes on the coffee table and put it into the young man's hand. He whispered something into the other man's ear and pointed at Su Hao.

The other party nodded cheerfully and said, "Okay."

"Your name is Su Hao, right? Come on, come with us to the slaughterhouse. We'll have a pig to slaughter soon, so you can take a look at the majesty of our boss's dragon-slaying sword."

The dragon-slaying knife refers to the pig-butchering knife.

Su Hao helped them carry the bathtub onto the tricycle carriage.

The tub had just been soaked in water, and the bottom floor was wet. One person in front acted as the driver, and the remaining person could only sit on the edge of the tub with his buttocks, and stepped on the edge of the other side with his feet to stabilize his figure. Hao and he were on one side, and they were not afraid of overturning.

"Gouzi, drive slower and don't break my butt, otherwise I'll let you sit in the back next time."

"I know, I know, sit tight and start the train."

The person in front laughed and laughed, and the tricycle started slowly.

The young man sitting behind Su Hao looked at Su Hao out of boredom.

He was a few years younger than Su Hao, but he had been around in the society for a long time, and he already had a worldly sophistication. He took the initiative to talk to him: "This handsome boy, are you Su Hao, Tan Zuo Chen's new disciple? Are you doing this?" What?"

Su Hao glanced at him and replied calmly: "Police."

"Ah, it turns out to be a police officer. I will be bullied by some gangsters in the future. Can I tell you your name?"

Hearing that Su Hao was a policeman, the other party became obviously more enthusiastic.

"If telling my name is useful, just go ahead and tell me my name."

The other party asked some questions like "Are there many beautiful police officers in the police station and are they easy to date"? "How much does a police officer earn per month?" "How do you usually catch bad guys?" Su Hao half-heartedly asked. I chatted with him for a while, half-assedly.

The guy's topic came back to Tan Zuochen, "Brother Su, you are also a policeman after all. You are so majestic. How did you find yourself here to learn from him? I'm afraid the tuition is quite a lot, right?"

There was nothing to hide about this, so Su Hao just took it as an advertisement for Tan Zuochen.

If Tan Zuochen can recruit a few more apprentices, he will have one more person who can practice sparring. "It's not expensive, [-] a month."

Naturally, he would not tell anyone about the several tests that Tan Zuochen faced as a disciple.

The young man exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "No way, ten thousand a month is higher than my monthly salary. I heard that the tuition fee for the Taekwondo gym upstairs is only 3000 yuan a month. I would definitely go and learn it." Taekwondo.”

"The postures are cool, and there are so many girls inside. Maybe I won't have to spend money to have sex in the future."

Obviously the other party is not from the same group as him.

Su Hao replied, "I'm afraid that Taekwondo will become useless by then."

"Tch, what's the use of being able to fight? Look at Tan Leg Chen, he's not helping people look after the warehouse now. The most important thing is to be handsome in action. Maybe he can be seen by the director and make a lot of money in movies in the future."

Another young man in front also echoed after hearing the conversation between the two.

"That's right, what age are we in? There are still people who spend 1 yuan a month to learn kung fu. Now there are not even a few young and Dangerous guys on the street. What's the use of being able to shoot? Can you beat a pistol? Besides, can you? Beat me, I can still lie down, how much money do you have to pay for my medical expenses?"

The tricycle was filled with happy air for a while.

But Su Hao's expression didn't look good.

"Brother Su, I'm not talking about you, I just think your ten thousand dollars is not worth it."
