The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River that had been falling for many days finally stopped. When the sun shone on the earth, the courtyard of the Qin Mansion became wet with dew. Looking around, the red and green colors competed for beauty, creating a vibrant scene.
With nothing to do, Qin Yuesheng wandered around the Qin Mansion. He was holding a bulging gold-thread embroidered bag in his hand. From time to time, he would reach into the bag and take out one or two pieces of snow-white things and put them into his mouth to chew. It looked like he was eating some snacks.
Only Qin Yuesheng himself knew that this embroidered bag was filled with various nourishing herbs that were sliced and diced for easy carrying. It was his idea so that he could replenish the almighty essence anytime and anywhere.
As he was strolling, Qin Yuesheng came to a side courtyard. He heard bursts of grunting and groaning sounds coming from inside the red walls and black tiles, as if someone was fighting.
"This seems to be the place where the guards practice martial arts. Let's go in and take a look." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself, and walked directly into the carved moon-shaped door on the landscape wall.
The Qin family is a famous family in Qingyang City, so naturally the area of their mansion is not small. Such a large place cannot be guarded entirely by themselves. In order to prevent external hidden dangers such as robbers, flower thieves, and bandits, the Qin family naturally employs a large number of guards as a means of guarding the house.
A guard is different from a servant. A servant is just a male servant who is responsible for the daily work of the Qin Mansion, such as buying groceries, fetching water and chopping firewood, repairing leaks in the house, doing heavy work, etc. The work of a guard is much simpler, patrolling, fighting, practicing martial arts, and that's all.
As you walk into the scenic wall, you will see an open space covered with white stone slabs. Dozens of men in tight-fitting clothes are standing in front of wooden dummies, practicing boxing.
Next to them, more than a dozen elderly men were walking back and forth with their hands behind their backs. If they saw anyone doing something wrong, they would walk up and give them a few words of advice.
Qin Yuesheng's appearance was soon noticed by others. A sturdy man with a broad back and strong waist strode over and greeted him in a deep voice: "Master, you are up early today."
This man's name is Qin Yue. He was originally a big escort leader in Yongshun Escort Agency, one of the many businesses under the Qin family. Later, he was transferred by Qin Feng to teach martial arts to the guards in the Qin Mansion.
"Not bad. It's not raining today, so I came out for a walk." Qin Yuesheng looked at the guards who were practicing wooden dummy and asked curiously, "What are they practicing?"
"Master, it's the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist."
"Oh!" Qin Yuesheng couldn't help but ask, "Is it easy to learn? How long will it take to learn it?"
"Well, although the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist is not a mainstream boxing style, it is difficult to reach the level of mastery without several years of hard training. If you just want to strengthen your body, practicing for a month or so will be enough." Qin Yue said casually.
Now Qin Yuesheng's physical fitness has been significantly improved with the help of the super assistive device, but no matter how good the body is, it is useless if you can only punch randomly and there is no way to exert your full strength.
Seeing so many guards gathered together to practice enthusiastically, Qin Yuesheng couldn't help but want to learn from them.
"Then you teach me too."
"That's nothing...huh?!" Qin Yue stared at Qin Yuesheng in disbelief before he even finished his words.
What day is it today? The sun is rising from the west? The young master actually said he wants to practice martial arts?
As the only son of the Qin family, Qin Feng had high hopes for Qin Yuesheng to become a successful person when he was a child. He hoped that Qin Yuesheng would practice archery, horsemanship, martial arts, chess, and calligraphy, and even planned to have Qin Yuesheng pass the imperial examination when he grew up.
But a loving father often spoils his son. How could the spoiled Qin Yuesheng endure such hardship? Not to mention studying and practicing martial arts, he wouldn't even want to eat when he was hungry. Over time, everyone in the Qin Mansion knew that Qin Yuesheng, the eldest young master, was a lazy and gluttonous person.
But today, Qin Yue actually heard from him that he wanted to learn martial arts.
"Young Master, do you really want to learn the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist?" Qin Yue asked uncertainly.
"Why, isn't it convenient for you?"
"That's convenient, young master. Please come here and I will teach you right away." Qin Yue nodded quickly.
Qin Yuesheng has always been interested in martial arts since he came to this world. There are many people in this world who rely on martial arts to travel the world, and people call them knights.
Some knights like to rob the rich to help the poor, eliminate violence and protect the good, and become famous far and wide; some knights do all kinds of evil, kill for money, and pick flowers under the moon, which are the so-called flower thieves.
Qingyang City has the Gusu River, which has a large number of branches upstream and downstream. As a result, bandits often use small boats to attack the counties on both sides of the river. Therefore, the custom of practicing martial arts is very strong among the people. Any family with a little money will choose to send their children to escort agencies, powerful mansions, martial arts schools and other places to pay to be apprentices and learn martial arts.
Those who have no money at home are in a worse situation. The cost of practicing martial arts is very high. Not to mention that you have to spend money to get a martial arts master to teach you martial arts and guide you. After practicing martial arts, your appetite will become bigger and it is normal to eat more than ordinary people. In addition, eating more meat helps to increase strength, which is another expense.
It can be said that for someone of Qin Yuesheng's status, it is extremely easy for him to learn martial arts. As long as he tells Qin Feng, Qin Feng will immediately find the best martial artist to teach him individually and buy various martial arts moves for him. However, Qin Yuesheng has no interest in this aspect and he only likes to hang out in brothels and gambling houses all year round.
But those who suffer from drought die of drought, and those who suffer from flood die of flood.
When they came to an unused wooden man, Qin Yue explained the routine of Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist to Qin Yuesheng.
Any external martial arts has a routine, which can also be called a path. If your opponent knows the path of the martial arts you have learned, he can easily defeat you based on the flaws in your martial arts path.
