Chapter 267 Yang Wudi
The old man driving the car was Yang Shaohou, the third generation grand master of the Yang family. He smiled wryly: "Brother Tongchen, originally you and my two families are on good terms, but I have to come to ask for advice because of the matter of face. Please forgive me if I offended you."
Li Shuwen laughed loudly: "Where did you come from, Brother Shaohou, please invite the seniors to talk at home, and the ministers will prepare wine and food for the two seniors."
At this time, there was a light cough in the carriage, and then a calm voice came out: "Let's go, let's go to the house of the same minister."
Li Shuwen invited more than 20 people from Taijimen to his home, and Yang Shaohou lifted the shed curtain himself: "Grandpa, uncle, please get out of the car."
As soon as his words fell, an old man who looked to be in his fifties, with a clear appearance and a strong figure got out of the car and stood aside with his hands tied: "Father, it's time to get out of the car."
Judging from his voice, it was the person who spoke in the car just now, and hearing his tone, this person should undoubtedly be Grandmaster Yang Banhou.
Standing behind Li Shuwen, Xin Han peeked into the car, and saw a person sitting in the car in a meditation posture. This man had long braids, white hair and silver beard, but there was no wrinkle on his face , with a ruddy complexion and delicate skin like a baby's, and his beard and hair are all white, just looking at his face, he looks like a handsome young man in his twenties.
The man opened his eyes when he heard Yang Banhou's words, and the two rays of light flashed away, only to hear the man let out a long breath, like a strong wind blowing, blowing the corners of the lifted shed curtain. rattle.
Li Shuwen, master and apprentice were shocked, the carriage was very big, the man was sitting at the rear of the carriage two meters away from the shed curtain, the breath did not use force, but it was long and long, like a real breath, how amazing this skill is!
The man breathed out for a full minute, then took a light breath, got up and got out of the car, and said with a smile: "I have to practice Tai Chi Hunyuan Qi every day at two o'clock in the afternoon. Today, I made my colleagues laugh."
Yang Yuqian faked his death and avoided the world for fifty years. Li Shuwen was only a teenager and was studying art, so he had never seen him. Yang Shaohou introduced: "This is Duke Fukui, the ancestor of the family, and Duke Banhou, the uncle of the family."
His introduction, even Li Shuwen's master and apprentice, who had guessed for a long time, couldn't help but be surprised. Yang Yuqian was born in the fourth year of Jiajing. I have lived to be one hundred and twenty years old now, and I look like a young man. Is this because I have cultivated into a fairy?
Li Shuwen was about to kneel down and salute immediately: "I have seen two senior masters."
Li Shuwen was arrogant, he never knelt down when he saw Yuan Shikai, but who is this person in front of him? That was Yang Yuqian, one of the three great masters in the martial arts world in the late Qing Dynasty! Regardless of age or seniority, this head must be kowtowed.
Don't talk about Li Shuwen,
Even the masters of the previous generation of Bajimen would kowtow when they came.
But I didn't want Yang Yuqian to take a step forward with a smile. This step was like a leisurely stroll, and he walked directly to Li Shuwen's body.
With his support, Li Shuwen couldn't go on praying, and he couldn't use his strength, so he stood up: "Seniors, please come into the living room to talk."
"Okay! Then let's stop bothering you." Yang Yuqian's gentle and elegant speech made people feel like a spring breeze.
The disciples of Taijimen were all waiting in the courtyard. Yang Yuqian, grandparent and grandson walked in with Li Shuwen, and when they looked up, they saw this plaque hanging in front of the hall.
Yang Yuqian stopped on his feet and chanted softly: "'Wen has Taiji to secure the world, Wu has Baji to determine the universe.' Is this the royal pen of the holy ancestor?"
The "sacred ancestor" in his question refers to Emperor Kangxi, the holy ancestor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Li Shuwen replied respectfully: "That's right. But the old plaque is at the Baji Gate of Mengcun. This is the new plaque that was copied and made by the juniors when they left school."
Yang Yuqian nodded, and his gaze fell on Xin Han: "Baby, do you know what this sentence means?"
Yang Wudi is more than 120 years old, and calling Xin Han a baby couldn't be more appropriate.
Xin Han was taken aback, he didn't expect Yang Yuqian to pay attention to him, but he still replied with a smile: "Of course it refers to Taijiquan and Bajiquan, which are the two major representatives of boxing in the world."
Yang Yuqian smiled and shook his head: "Everyone thinks so, but unfortunately not, there is an allusion to it."
Xin Han didn't expect that Yang Wudi would not leave. Let's talk about the allusion at the door. He has seen this plaque before. But I really don't know it's Kangxi's handwriting. I think there should be a legendary allusion.
Only Yang Yuqian said softly: "In the fifteenth year of Lord Kangxi, two martial artists from other countries set up mines in the capital, claiming to be invincible in the world."
Li Shuwen has also heard about this secret, but he doesn't know much about it, and a bunch of juniors have never heard of it. I heard that these two people claim to be invincible all over the world, they shook their heads in disdain, thinking that there are countless masters in my Central Plains, are they here to seek death?
Yang Yuqian continued: "You may not be convinced, but at that time these two people were really powerful, and they injured many masters in the martial arts back then. No one could beat them until Senior Ding Faxiang, the founder of Bajimen in Mengcun, bravely revealed the emperor's list and went on stage to fight It was only then that the two of them were defeated."
"Senior Ding Faxiang saved the face of the imperial court by doing this, so he was granted the title of 'Iron Warrior Wuxia' by the holy grandfather who watched the battle. Qiankun' praised Baji boxing."
"Later, Lord Kangxi personally inscribed 'Laughing Dragon Plaque', 'Civilian officials dismount from sedan chairs, military officials dismount from horses', 'Go up to the hall and do not bow down, see officials of the first level' and give it a yellow jacket, and at the request of senior Ding Faxiang, exempt Mengcun’s money, food and taxes, this kind of mighty emperor’s kindness lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty, which is unique in the whole country.”
Xin Han was surprised and said: "So there are such allusions, so what does the word Tai Chi mean?"
Although Yang Yuqian's tone of voice is gentle, he has a strong aura. Even his disciples and grandchildren talk to him with trepidation. Unexpectedly, Xin Han didn't realize it today.
Facing the three great masters in the late Qing Dynasty, Yang Wudi could speak freely, which made Yang Banhou, Yang Shaohou and other Taijimen look at him with admiration.
Yang Yuqian seemed to have noticed that Xin Han was different, so he smiled and said:
"The word "Tai Chi" is now thought by the world to refer to Tai Chi, but it is not. At the time of the inscription of the ancestor "Chen Wangting", the ancestor of "Chen Wangting" had not yet created Chen style Tai Chi, so how could it be possible? In fact, this sentence refers to the use of Confucian The philosophy of Tai Chi means governing the world."
When he said this, everyone knew the meaning of it, and they couldn't help sighing.
Xin Han smiled and said: "Senior, you are really magnanimous in your heart. If someone else is giving money to you, there is no reason to expose it yourself. This good talk of Tai Chi's peace of the world has been shattered by you, the Tai Chi ancestor."
Yang Yuqian laughed: "You are a bit interesting, but the reputation of Taijiquan is so famous? It's our Taijimen who hit it with one punch and one kick!"
When he said the last sentence. A gust of arrogance that overlooked the world exploded like a gust of wind, Yang Banhou and his son, Li Shuwen and other great masters were better off, and the other juniors couldn't help but feel a tightness in their chests.
Even the elder brother Huo Diange took a deep breath. Only when the energy in the whole body bursts out can we resist, but Xin Han doesn't seem to notice it.
Yang Yuqian looked at Xin Han and nodded approvingly: "Baby, you are very good." After speaking, he entered the hall with Li Shuwen.
In fact, Xin Han was also taken aback, this kind of momentum almost caught up with Xiang Wentian back then, you must know that Xiang Wentian, the king of heaven, is a first-class master in Xiaoaoli. Yang Wudi could match Xiang Wentian's aura just by practicing martial arts, how amazing it is at this moment.
After entering the hall, the banquet was ready, Li Shuwen asked Yang Yuqian to be the host, Yang Banhou and Yang Shaohou sat next to him, Li Shuwen accompanied him, Xin Han and Huo Diange were not qualified to sit down at all, they could only stand behind Li Shuwen.
Li Shuwen toasted Yang Yuqian and his son according to the etiquette of juniors, and the two also drank a cup as a way of saving face.
Yang Yuqian put down his wine glass, and suddenly pointed at Xin Han: "Baby, you sit down too. After all, you are the great master of Baodan, how can I let you stand." When he said this, Yang Banhou and Yang Shaohou came to their senses. Looking at Xin Han, he couldn't help being surprised.
Yang Banhou asked: "How old are you, baby? How old did you start practicing boxing?"
Xin Han grinned and said shamelessly: "The boy is twenty years old this year. Last year in Shanghai, he met a mentor who taught him Bajiquan."
This time even Yang Yuqian was not calm anymore, he turned to look at Li Shuwen: "Is this true?"
Li Shuwen replied truthfully: "That's true, but at that time, the villain had just worshiped under the Jingwu sect. When I met him, I didn't even understand Ming Jin."
Yang Yuqian couldn't help but enviously said: "You can meet such a good seedling... Blessed be the Bajimen."
Li Shuwen said to Xin Han: "Since senior asked you to sit down, you should sit down!"
Xin Han shook his head and said, "Eldest senior brother is still standing, how can I have the right to sit down?"
Huo Diange keeps winking at Xin Han, which means you're making Yang Wudi lose face.
Yang Yuqian glanced at Huo Diange. He smiled and said, "It's also a talent, let's all sit down."
When he said this, Xin Han smiled and pulled the elder brother to sit down.
Yang Yuqian changed his voice and started talking about business: "Comrade, why haven't you seen your senior from Bajimen?"
That means, this matter is a matter of Taijimen and Bajimen. Now that I have come forward, you are not qualified to talk to me about this matter.
Li Shuwen said: "This is the trouble I caused because I couldn't control my temper. How could I implicate Bajimen? This matter is shouldered by me."
Yang Yuqian was not angry, instead he said in a soft voice: "Okay, I have a responsibility. In this case, I can't use the big to bully the small. This matter is related to the face of the Tai Chi Sect. After all, the younger generations still have to eat the bowl of martial arts. You also need a reputation, the sufferer who was killed by you is still waiting for news at the Yang family in the capital, the matter must be resolved."
"Well, I see that your kung fu is comparable to that of Ban Hou, and he can't be regarded as overpowering the small when he fights with you. You two join hands. If you win, just let it go. If you lose a move and a half, go to the door. Apologize to the sufferer, compensate some money, let me tell you, end this holiday, what do you think."
Yang Wudi's eyes were as bright as a torch, and in his capacity, if he said that Li Shuwen was similar to Yang Banhou, then he was similar, and he would never utter nonsense to fool others.
Li Shuwen never had the word "fear" in his heart as long as he said to do it, not to mention Grandmaster Yang Banhou, even when facing Yang Wudi, even though he knew he was invincible, he was not afraid.
He was about to say yes, but he didn't want his closed disciple Xin Han to suddenly say: "Senior, wait a minute, I have something to say." (To be continued.)
