Super Prestige System

Chapter 13 Guo Yunshen, Master of Xingyi

My thoughts were racing last night, and it was already three or four o'clock in the middle of the night when Zhou Ding fell asleep, which led to the fact that it was almost noon when I woke up the next day.

After freshening up and going downstairs to eat, the content of the conversation of the three people by the window attracted Zhou Ding's attention.These three people are all dressed up in Jianghu, and they are talking about a celebrity in martial arts; the best in the world-Sun Lutang.

In an instant, Zhou Ding suddenly realized that the things he worried about last night were not serious matters!
Since there is Sun Lutang in this world, then this world is not a pure film and television world. At least this world has a real historical background. If this is the case, there are many choices for apprenticeship!

Some judges asked, "Who is Sun Lutang?"

Sun Lutang, known as the Martial Saint and Martial God in the modern martial arts world, is also known as the Almighty Scholar, the Tiger Head Shaobao, and the No. [-] Master in the World. You can imagine what an amazing character he is.

Zhou Ding learned through chatting with several people that now Sun Lutang is opening a Puyang boxing club by the Puyang River in Wanxian County, Hebei Province, and teaching apprentices in person.

In order to find out more news about martial arts, Zhou Ding asked Xiaoer to bring a jar of good wine, and came to the three people, pretending to be bold and said: "Next Zhou Ding, I just returned from overseas a few days ago. The younger brother has I grew up overseas and yearned for China's martial arts. Seeing how handsome my brothers are, they must be heroes in the martial arts world. Therefore, I want to get acquainted with my brothers, so I don't take the liberty to bother you. If there is any impoliteness, I also hope that you brothers will not blame you."

There are three people at this table, one of them is surnamed Gu, named Gu Kuo, who practices the Five Tigers Severing Door Knife.The other two were surnamed Li, known as Li Da and Li Er.

The three of them suddenly saw a wealthy young man in luxurious clothes without braids, and he approached him respectfully and reasonablely to say hello, which was quite useful in his heart. People in the world have a lot of face, and they invited Zhou Ding to sit down and talk out of the mind of having many friends and many paths. .

After Zhou Ding sat down, he waved his big hand to attract Xiao Er, threw him a five-two ingot ingot, and said, "All the wine and food for these brothers will be counted in my account. In addition, I will rearrange a table to wait for the wine and food." !"

Several people saw Zhou Ding's "bold personality" and generous shots, and they were more willing to make friends with Zhou Ding. During the exchange of cups and cups, Zhou Ding not only got news from Sun Lutang, but also got news from Guo Yunshen by accident.

Who is Guo Yunshen?
There is a saying in the martial arts world that everyone knows: "Half a step breaks the fist and beats the world", it is Guo Yunshen who said it.Guo Yunshen is the founder of Half Step Bengquan.

Xingyiquan didn't have half of Bengquan before. This style was created by Guo Yunshen in the prison after the murder. Because he was a felon and served his sentence in shackles and handcuffs, he could only take one step while walking. Half-step, however, even under such harsh conditions, Master Guo did not stop practicing. Instead, he practiced the famous half-step Bengquan because of this.

Such a spirit is admirable!

Master Guo is not only a culmination of martial arts attainments, but also a warm-hearted person. Many martial arts masters in the late Qing Dynasty have received his guidance.Master Guo also wrote the "Neng Shuo Xingyi Boxing Classic", which let everyone know that martial arts has three principles, three steps of kung fu, and three training methods.

There are three levels of reasoning: practicing essence to transform qi, practicing qi to transform spirit, and practicing spirit to return emptiness.

Three-step kung fu; easy bones, easy tendons, and marrow washing.

There are three training methods: bright energy, dark energy, and transformation energy.

The most important thing is that Guo Yunshen can teach his apprentices. The one I mentioned just now, Sun Lutang, who is known as the best master in the world, is also a member of Master Guo's family. Master Guo carefully taught it. Without Master Guo's teaching, how could there be a future Martial Saint?

In addition, Li Cunyi, Zhang Zhankui, Meng Kun, Kuiyuan, Xu Zhanao, Qian Yantang, Wang Xiangzhai and other famous masters in the late Qing Dynasty all studied under Master Guo.

Zhou Ding made up his mind to worship Guo Yunshen as his teacher, so he packed a carriage the next day and left Tianjin for Mazhuang, Shen County, Zhili.

He intends to learn martial arts well first, and then participate in it four years later, when the plot officially begins.

Sun Lutang was opening a school to teach apprentices. Ordinarily, it should be easier to worship him as a teacher, but Zhou Ding still decided to go to Guo Yunshen first, and if that didn't work, he would go to Sun Lutang to learn from him.

The reason is still in the prestige.

Since the small world can gain prestige, of course Zhou Ding is looking for someone who can help him the most.

Sun Lutang is only 37 years old now, and his kung fu may not have entered the realm of perfection. Moreover, his seniority is two generations lower than Guo Yunshen.

If Zhou Ding can worship Guo Yunshen as his teacher, he can become a figure in the generation of Sun Lutang's master and uncle. Seniority seems to be useless, but it is not.

Seniority is an innate attribute. If your martial arts are low, others will not take you seriously as an elder. If your martial arts are unique in the world, many people will regard you as a real uncle and master.

With the seniority of the elders added, no one in the martial arts will use seniority to oppress you anymore.

After walking for a whole day, Zhou Ding didn't come to Shen County until it was dark. It is said that such a famous person as Master Guo should be easy to inquire about, but in reality, Zhou Ding asked many people, and they all said they didn't know.

Zhou Ding had no choice but to stay in Shenxian County. The next day, he used the money strategy to learn about the place where Master Guo lived in seclusion from the waiter in the shop.

It was already past noon when we found Guo's mansion, Zhou Ding was almost killed by the horse-drawn carriage for the past two days, Zhou Ding swore in his heart that next time he came to this world, he must bring a comfortable car. .

Before getting out of the car and coming to the gate, Zhou Ding tidied up his clothes, tapped the copper ring on the door lightly, and asked, "Is anyone home?"

Not long after, a man dressed as a porter opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Ding bowed his fists and said, "I don't know if this is the residence of Master Guo, Guo Yunshen, a famous martial artist?"

"You went to the wrong place!" The man closed the door directly, ignoring Zhou Ding.

When Zhou Ding was depressed, a 25-year-old young man came from a distance.This person is dressed in a blue gown, 1.7 meters two or three in height, with a gentle manner, giving people the feeling of a gentleman as gentle as jade.

The man came to the gate and asked, "Sir, I don't know why you are here?"

Zhou Ding hastily clasped his fists and saluted and said: "I've seen this brother before. His surname is Zhou Mingding. He is an overseas Chinese. He just returned to his homeland in China a few days ago. He has heard for a long time that Master Guo is a famous martial artist. I long for him. I really want to see him." Zhou Ding After speaking, hand over the greeting card.

Zhou Ding learned the etiquette of door-to-door posting from Gu and Li. Although they only know a little bit, Zhou Ding thinks it is enough; as an overseas Chinese, he probably has such a thing. No one would pick their own reasons.

The man shook his head and refused: "To be honest, my father has been ill in recent years and has not seen outsiders. Mr. Zhou is going to make a trip for nothing!"

This young man is Guo Yunshen's son——Guo Shen,
How could Zhou Ding stop there? With a thought in his heart, he turned around and dragged out several boxes from the carriage.The things are very miscellaneous, there is a box of Coke, a box of white wine, a box of red wine, and a box of sausage.

The coachman looked dumbfounded, and thought; I remember you just got on the car with one box, why did so many things come out?Where did these things come from?
Zhou Ding didn't pay attention to the surprised expression of the coachman, and said to Guo Shen with a smile: "These things are all special products of Zhou's family. If your father doesn't want to see you, please ask your brother to pass these things to your father. It's all for me. A lot of thought!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ding put Coke, drinks, red wine, and grilled sausage in front of Guo Shen.

Many traversers would painstakingly grind off the top of the bottle and the production date on the bottom of the bottle. Zhou Ding scoffed at such behavior!
Before the new China, no one in China used the Western calendar AD, and the Chinese did not recognize AD.

Even if someone knows the AD and sees the words 2016, 05, and 20, will they suspect that things come from the future?

No, not to mention that people in the Qing Dynasty didn’t have such big brains. Even modern people in later generations, seeing the words 2280, 11, and 21 printed on a bottle of Coke, wouldn’t suspect that this thing came from the future, right?
What's more, even if you doubt it, so what?Even if you ask Zhou Ding, so what?

Zhou Dingda can say: "This thing is produced by our family, and the AD of our family is calculated from the date of the birth of the first ancestor!"

Even the label marked with the place of production does not need to be removed, because the regions in this period are all XX provinces and XX provinces.
The root of XX province and XX city on the package, Zhou Dingda can say: "This is the regional name of our family territory."

As for the simplified characters on the packaging, Zhou Ding can also say: "Our family has been away from China for a long time, and we have established our own country long ago. We have already started using such characters hundreds of years ago."
