One person and one cent, Chu Xiangqian was also amused by the auspicious words said by these children, which made him laugh from time to time.

I thought that after I gave them the lucky money, the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, the heads of each household would come to give Ailin and Aiqiu lucky money.

Even if it’s a dime more, it’s still 5 cents less.

From the looks of it, we are taking advantage.

Chu Qianqian smiled helplessly. It seemed that his status in this yard was already on the same level as the deaf old lady.

I had nothing to do in the morning, so Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and decided to go to the master’s house to sit.

The old couple has no children and no daughters. In their eyes, his apprentice is half a son.

Calling Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, Chu Xiangqian rode on the three-wheeled vehicle and quickly arrived at Gong Changqing's house.

Before getting off the bus, he used the sidecar as a cover, took out chestnuts, red dates, Beijing white pears and 5 pounds of venison and knocked on the door.

When the old lady opened the door, she saw it was him. The smile on her face was bright and kind.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that the Gong family actually had guests today.

And when he saw the other person's face, Chu Xiangqian knew the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, when Chu went forward, he bowed to Gong Changqing and said some auspicious words.

Old Man Gong smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes and sent him a big red envelope. When introducing the old man, he said, just ask Chu Qianqian to call him 'Master Jiang'.

Lao Jiang hurriedly waved his hands, "If the Gong family hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death a long time ago. I don't dare to call you 'Master'. Just call me Lao Jiang."

Chu Qianqian glanced at the knife handle hidden under Lao Jiang's fur coat.

I can't help but think that this man is a master with a knife.

I just think about it seriously, but I can’t even catch Ma San’s moves.

However, no matter how bad a person is, he is still a person who touches the knife and uses it all his life.

He raised his hands and said, "You can't call me Master Jiang, Old Uncle Jiang is right."

Gong Changqing and the old lady couldn't help laughing.

There was also a faint smile on Lao Jiang's face, which he always met.

"Look, the young master just looked at the handle of the knife at my waist, but he also knows how to use a knife?"

"No, don't call me Young Master," Chu Qianqian waved his hands, "You can call me Xiao Chu, Qian Qian, or even 'Chu Er', but don't call me Young Master."

Lao Jiang was stunned and called Miss Gong family 'girl'. As the only apprentice of a male from the Gong family branch, it was no problem to call him young master.

But whether in his previous life or now, Chu Xiangqian couldn't get used to being called 'young master' or 'gongzi'.

Lao Jiang nodded, and Chu Qianqian unbuttoned his fur coat, revealing the hunting knife at his waist.

The hunting knives produced in the game are naturally somewhat different from those in reality.

This knife is 48 centimeters long and the blade is a palm wide. It is not only good for chopping, but also very smooth and sharp for cutting.

It actually looks similar to the knife on Lao Jiang’s body.

"Good knife." Lao Jiang looked at the handle and shark skin sheath, and immediately knew that the steel of this knife should be very good.

Just when I saw the hunting knife, I also saw the gun holster on Chu Qianqian's waist.

Frowning, he asked, "Is Mr. Chu from the Yamen?"

Chu Xianglian was stunned, does this mean he doesn’t like the people in Gongmen?

The old lady on the side looked dissatisfied when she saw her good apprentice.

He hurriedly answered, "Lao Jiang, my disciple firstly does not bully others, secondly does not take advantage of others, and thirdly does not bully good people. He can see clearly and stand firm in the face of big rights and wrongs."

Only then did Lao Jiang feel relieved and said in a deep voice, "Don't blame Mr. Chu. He suffered so much back then that he inevitably had some prejudices against people in the Gongmen.

As an apology, if you are interested, please show me your hands."

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but look at Gong Changqing.

Old Man Gong nodded hurriedly, "Go ahead, Lao Jiang has been thinking about how to use a knife all his life. If he is willing to teach you, that is your destiny.

And he is my cousin’s son, so if you learn his skills, there will be no problem with your identity.”

Chu Qianqian nodded, said hello to the old lady, and went out into the kitchen.

Standing in the middle of the yard holding a piece of split firewood.

After the old man Gong, the old lady and old Jiang all looked at him, Chu took a deep breath and held out the firewood in his right hand.

As soon as his palm was loosened, he quickly pulled out the hunting knife from his waist and struck the falling firewood with one blow.

Then he made another cross-cut with his backhand, cutting the firewood that had been cut in half again.

By the time the firewood hit the ground, it had turned into four pieces, with smooth-cut wood blocks exposed on both sides.

Not to mention Old Man Gong and Old Lady, even Old Jiang could see it with twitching eyes.

Even when his skills were at their peak, he was not as quick as Chu Er.

And just by being fast, at most the firewood will be chopped away.

To easily cut into four pieces, you need not only speed, but also the momentum and strength to cut through any object with one knife.

Lao Jiang shook his head helplessly, "Second Master Chu, I have nothing to teach you, lest my wild ways ruin your practice.

Moreover, my martial arts are said to be sword skills, but in fact they are just beheading skills. They are too murderous and are no longer suitable for this era."

Chu Qianqian hurriedly said, "Uncle Jiang, don't look at my ability to chop wood. In fact, not only do I lack the foundation of using a knife, I even have a limited understanding of how to use a knife.

The performance just now is entirely because my body is naturally stronger than ordinary people."

Old Jiang looked at Gong Changqing and the old lady in confusion. Old Man Gong smiled and said, "Old Jiang, this disciple of mine has never learned kung fu before.

He does know a few moves on the battlefield with swordsmanship, probably taught by his deceased father.

But he only learned that one set of enemy-killing techniques, and didn’t understand the rest."

Only then did Lao Jiang believe what Chu Xiangqian said, and after believing it, he was also pleasantly surprised by Chu Xiangqian's talent.

Just as Old Man Gong said, as the apprentice of the Gong family, Chu Xiangqian is indeed qualified to learn his own sword skills.

In addition to the unique tricks figured out by Mr. Gong Baosen, Gong Changqing can teach you the Sixty-Four Bagua Palm.

Let’s also consider that Gong Changqing’s daughter-in-law Chen Shenglan studied Xingyi. In other words, if this Chu Er is talented enough, he will become a new generation successor of both Xingyi and Bagua sects and learn both Kung Fu schools at the same time.

Just for this reason, Lao Jiang felt that he needed to teach Chu Xiangqian more skills.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

If he really learns it and understands it thoroughly, he will be the second Mr. Gong.

Even if your surname is not Gong, it is still a kung fu passed down from the Gong family, so you have to recognize Master Gong Baosen as your great uncle.

At the same time, it is for the Gong family to inherit what their ancestors have learned.

And inheritance has always been what the masters value most.

In this way, Chu Xiangqian spent the whole morning learning the basics from Lao Jiang.

What he didn't expect was that not only was the basics boring, but the back and forth movements were actually just chopping and picking.

To use a rhyme that Lao Jiang heard from his predecessors, his family, because the knives in their hands are a bit short, pay attention to "the cutting must be steady, accurate and powerful, the cutting must be high and low, and the blade must be sharp and flexible."

, do everything quickly, accurately and never too late'.

He also asked Chu Xiangqian to read Qi Jiguang's "Xinyou Sword Technique" and "Wu Bei Zhi", He Liangchen's "Array Records", and Cheng Zongyou's "Selected Single Sword Techniques".

It is said that these ancient books have actually recorded the usage and usage techniques of knives for a long time.

In the end, he reminded Chu Qianqian again and again that no matter how good his sword skills are, body skills are also the key.

Otherwise, your efforts will be in vain.

Chu Xiangqian understood this, and even remembered what it said in Jingwu Hero played by Jet Li.

He didn't say, "Hardness and softness are a waste of energy; softness and hardness are an attack but not a victory."

Lao Jiang, Gong Changqing and the old lady's eyes lit up.

In the future, this truth will be a famous saying that can be easily found on the Internet or in movies.

But in the era when kung fu was only passed down to apprentices and sons, ordinary people had no chance to come into contact with it.

Even when the education level is extremely low, if you have never read a book and do not understand the principles of life, if the master does not tell you and the apprentice figures it out on his own, then he is a person with extraordinary talents.

Lao Jiang came back this time to replace Gong Er and Ding Lianshan, and wanted to see Chu Xiangqian's character and talent.

It’s impossible to tell whether a person’s character is true or false, but his talent is indeed the same as what Gong Changqing said in the telegram.

Absolutely first class.

Lao Jiang nodded to Chu Qianqian with satisfaction, secretly envious of Gong Changqing and Chen Shenglan.

A good master is rare, and a good apprentice is even harder to come by.
