“Da da da—”
The sound of slow footsteps came from outside the door.
The old beggar leaning against the mountain god sighed and said helplessly: "Hey, brother, we are strangers to each other. I just glanced at you on the street. Why are you chasing me?"
Deng Yougang pushed open the temple door, looked at the old beggar and said with a smile: "Really? Didn't you deliberately lead me here?"
The old beggar looked innocent: "How is that possible? I'm just an ordinary old beggar, not a bunny in a brothel. Why would I seduce you?"
...An ordinary old beggar?
Deng Yougang felt the old beggar's powerful internal strength at close range and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Then he coughed lightly and asked with a smile, "I heard from the kids on the street that you sell all kinds of peerless martial arts here?"
The old beggar was slightly startled, then his face straightened and he said leisurely: "That's true, but I only sell it to people who are destined to be with me."
"Oh?" Deng Yougang raised his eyebrows, squatted down with interest, looked at the old beggar and said, "Do you think I am your destiny?"
The old beggar blinked his eyes, looked at him carefully, and then said in amazement: "You have a unique bone structure, and a ray of spiritual light spurts out from the top of your head. You are definitely a martial arts genius that is rare in a thousand years. It's a pity that the inheritance has already been passed down, and I have no chance to share it..."
Deng Yougang smiled and said, "It's okay, I can buy it and give it to my relative's children!"
The old beggar curled his lips, shook his head and said, "No, I have principles. If you want to buy the martial arts secrets from me, you must first bring the child here so that I can take a closer look. Only if there is talent and affinity, can you--"
Before he could finish his words, the old beggar's voice suddenly stopped. He widened his eyes and stared at Deng Yougang's right hand.
Deng Yougang took out five silver dollars from his pocket and threw them into the broken bowl in front of the old beggar one by one. He said with a smile: "I'm not sure whether my relative's child is talented, but I'm sure he is rich. As for whether we are destined to be together, I have to ask you~"
“…”
The old beggar swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'm almost there!"
Deng Yougang smiled slightly, took out a pile of dollars from his arms and threw them into the old beggar's mouth until the broken bowl in front of him was filled.
There was a greedy look in the old beggar's eyes. Without hesitation, he took out several martial arts secrets books from the torn bag beside him and threw them to Deng Yougang.
"I'll sell them all to you!"
Deng Yougang's eyes lit up and he quickly took the martial arts secrets and looked at them carefully.
Wow, they are indeed all lost and unique martial arts!
Such as "Tathagata Palm", "Nine Yang Manual", "Thousand Hands Divine Fist", "Nine Swords of Dugu", "One Yang Finger" and "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", almost all the secret books that have ever appeared in movies are in his hands.
This is too easy!
Deng Yougang picked up a copy of "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" with a smile, opened it, and found that it was full of various stick drawings and posture diagrams.
It seems to be a concise and unique skill, but in Deng Yougang's opinion, this is definitely not real martial arts!
Deng Yougang's face darkened, he threw the secret book in his hand to the ground, and snorted coldly: "Old man, are you kidding me?"
The old beggar held the broken bowl filled with silver dollars in his hand, without even raising his head, and said cheerfully: "I'm not kidding you. You have money but no luck, so you can only buy this kind of stuff!"
Deng Yougang twitched his lips and couldn't help but frown: "Hong Riqing, you want to fight, right?"
After these words were spoken, the old beggar's expression finally changed.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Deng Yougang with a frown on his face. There seemed to be an indescribable aura all over his body.
After a long while, the old beggar slowly asked, "Who are you, and why do you know the name of Lao Guiqing?"
Oh, there really is a person named Hong Riqing?!
Deng Yougang's eyes lit up and an interested smile appeared on his face.
Hong Riqing, nicknamed Lao Guiqing, is a character in Stephen Chow's movie "The Legend of Drunken Master".
He seems to be an ordinary old beggar on weekdays, but he is actually the seventh-generation descendant of Hong Qigong and the oldest elder in the Beggars' Sect in terms of seniority and title. He possesses two top martial arts, the Sleeping Arhat Fist and the Dream Returning Heart Method.
In the movie "The Legend of Drunken Master", the protagonist Su Can met Hong Riqing in a brothel, and generously spent a large amount of money to treat him to a night of food, drink, gambling and sleep. After this enchanting night, Hong Riqing felt that he was indebted to Su Can, so when Su Can was down and out, he taught him the Sleeping Arhat Fist in his dream and helped him win the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect.
Since the actor who plays Hong Riqing is the same person as the old beggar in Kung Fu, many reviews and derivative works either jokingly or based on research believe that the old beggar in Kung Fu is Hong Riqing who lived into modern times.
Deng Yougang remembered these speculations on the Internet, so he just made a suggestion to test it out.
It turned out that the old beggar actually reacted!
Just looking at his reaction, it seems that the other party only knows Hong Riqing, but not Hong Riqing himself.
Then who is he?
Deng Yougang looked at the old beggar thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he blurted out, "You are Su Chaharcan!"
“…”
The old beggar put down the broken bowl full of silver dollars, slowly stood up, and an indescribable intimidating aura emanated from his whole body.
"You are not the successor of Wulang Bagua Stick, who are you?"
The old beggar's low and hoarse voice came slowly, allowing Deng Yougang to confirm his guess again.
The old beggar in front of you is not Hong Riqing at all, but the protagonist of the movie "The Legend of Drunken Master", the 52nd leader of the Beggars' Sect, Su Can Su Qier!
He actually survived till now?!
Deng Yougang was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable.
After all, the movie "The Legend of Drunken Master" featured a plot in which Senggelin participated in the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and became enemies with the Beggars' Gang. Coupled with the background of the Beggars' Gang selecting a new leader on the ruins of the Old Summer Palace and the emperor's hunting tour in Rehe, it can be inferred that the basic timeline of the movie should be in the late years of Emperor Xianfeng.
That is, between 1855 and 1860, only sixty or seventy years ago.
As the leader of the Beggars' Sect and a top master in the martial arts world, it is not too outrageous for Su Can to live to be over a hundred years old.
Thinking of this, Deng Yougang met the old beggar's complicated gaze and said with a smile: "If you want to know, beat me and I'll tell you!"
The old beggar narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right hand slightly, and said softly: "I haven't fought with anyone for a long time..."
Before he finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew up in the mountain temple. The air flow continuously flowed around the old beggar's body, whistling and rolling up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, obscuring Deng Yougang's sight and the old beggar's figure.
Wow, just relying on internal strength, he can create a gust of wind in such a small space like a mountain temple.
With such powerful inner strength and precise control, he is indeed worthy of being the most mysterious master in the "Kung Fu" movie!
Deng Yougang showed admiration on his face and couldn't help clapping.
At the moment the applause rang out, the fallen leaves swept by the wind behind him suddenly split into two silently, and a palm came out from it, carrying a silent airflow and slashing towards Deng Yougang's neck.
At this moment, Deng Yougang seemed to have noticed the movement behind him, and his right hand swung back as fast as lightning, drawing an arc and colliding with it.
"boom!!"
The force splashed and the air waves rolled.
The fallen leaves and strong winds were all blown away by the spreading air waves, revealing Su Can's hidden figure.
With his palms facing each other, Su Can took two steps back, steadied himself, and then looked at Deng Yougang with astonishment.
This move of turning around and chopping horizontally was exactly the same as the dragon's tail swing in "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing".
This move comes from the Li Gua in the Book of Changes. The master who created the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" originally intended to name it "Lu Hu Wei", meaning attacking the tiger's back, imitating the move of stepping on a tiger's tail and the tiger turning around and biting back. Later generations thought these flowery names in the Book of Changes were too unspeakable, so they changed this move "Lu Hu Wei" to "Shen Long Wagging Tail".
"You also know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"
Su Can couldn't help but blurt out.
Deng Yougang smiled slightly: "Guess?"
Before he finished speaking, Deng Yougang took a step and leaped towards Su Can like lightning.
“So fast!”
Su Can suppressed his shock, bent his left leg slightly, bent his right arm inward, drew a circle with his right palm, and when Deng Yougang approached, he pushed outward with a whoosh.
It is exactly the "Kang Long You Hui" in "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing"!
As Su Can pushed out his right palm, a fierce gust of wind suddenly blew over, and immeasurable and terrifying internal force condensed on Su Can's right palm. In a trance, one seemed to hear a long dragon roar.
...This is also called "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing"? !
Recalling the martial art of the same name from the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Deng Yougang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. At the same time, he clenched his right fist and swung it out violently like a green dragon emerging from water.
The next second, fists and palms collided, and the internal force from the world of Kung Fu and the blue energy from the world of Under One Person suddenly collided with each other.
The surrounding air exploded instantly, and the terrifying energy leaked out in all directions as if it was free.
In just a moment, the mountain god statue behind Deng Yougang was shattered, followed by the walls and roof of the mountain god temple.
“Boom!!”
The dilapidated mountain temple slowly collapsed amidst a roar.
Su Can smashed the huge rock falling from above his head with one palm and jumped out of the collapsed temple.
Deng Yougang also leaped up, broke through the wall, and landed on the ground outside the mountain temple.
"boom!"
With the last loud bang, the temple behind him collapsed and smoke and dust filled the air.
Deng Yougang stood in front of Yanchen, his face unchanged, instead he clapped his hands and praised: "Great Kung Fu!"
“…”
Su Can twitched the corner of his mouth. He had lived for more than a hundred years and had never seen a master like Deng Yougang.
There are indeed many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in China!
A smile appeared on Su Can's face, and a long-lost fighting spirit gradually surged in his heart.
He just made a strange posture, then suddenly leaped up, and rushed towards Deng Yougang as gracefully as a swimming dragon and as elegant as a startled swan.
When he was approaching Deng Yougang, Su Can took a deep breath, suddenly clenched his right fist, and smashed towards Deng Yougang.
Countless whistling gusts of wind sounded at the same time as he swung his fist, and it seemed that hundreds of fists appeared behind Su Can, smashing down along with his punch.
It is one of the unique skills that Su Can created in the past hundred years - "Thousand Hands Divine Fist"!
Looking at the fist shadows in front of him, Deng Yougang was slightly stunned. Then he used his Qi in his eyes and accurately captured Su Can's fist hidden among the fist shadows.
“I found you!”
Deng Yougang's eyes lit up and he pushed out his right palm violently, counterattacking with the same move, Kanglong Youhui.
In an instant, the fists and palms collided, and the powerful energy radiated, causing the earth to rumble.
Deng Yougang raised the corner of his mouth and was about to tease Su Can for being too flashy, but the next second, a sky full of fist shadows fell on him madly.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
For a moment, the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh could be heard continuously.
What's going on? Is this all true?
Deng Yougang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What kind of martial arts is this?"
Su Can floated down to the ground with the energy, looked at the surprise on Deng Yougang's face and said calmly: "I created a unique skill, the Thousand Hands Divine Fist."
Although his expression was calm, the surprise in his eyes revealed that his heart was not at peace.
If an ordinary martial arts master was hit hard by the Thousand Hands Divine Fist, he would have been smashed into a meat paste. However, the man in front of him had no reaction at all. He didn't even shake his body and took the force of his punch.
"What a great set of Kung Fu!"
Su Can couldn't help but praise him, and then said seriously: "Next, I'm going to get serious!"
Deng Yougang smiled slightly, and his whole body was filled with an astonishing blue-green aura: "What a coincidence, me too!"
Su Can's expression froze, and his patched beggar's clothes moved without wind. All the internal strength in his body gathered in his palm under his meticulous control.
When the palm power was condensed, Su Can was covered with amazing momentum. He looked at Deng Yougang who was motionless in front of him and asked calmly: "Are you sure you don't want to hide?"
Deng Yougang nodded with a smile: "I really want to try it!"
Su Can sighed lightly and said calmly: "Since it is your own request, don't blame me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Can's face showed compassion. He picked up a flower in his left hand and pushed his right palm forward suddenly.
Tathagata Palm!
In an instant, a golden palm force with a diameter of more than ten meters penetrated the body and roared away with terrifying energy.
Along the way, the golden palm power was like a giant bulldozer, carving a huge gully ten meters wide in the ground, and then slammed into Deng Yougang's body.
What a powerful palm force!
Is this the Tathagata Palm?
Deng Yougang showed admiration in his eyes, then he raised his right hand slightly and swung it horizontally.
The next moment, the blue-green energy surged wildly on his body surface, rushing towards Deng Yougang's right palm, and finally gathered into a blue-green long-pole weapon about two meters and four meters long in his palm.
Looking at the halberd blade in the shape of a cross on the top, it is actually a Fang Tian Hua Ji condensed from Qi!
With the painted halberd in his hand, Deng Yougang waved it gently, then held it with both hands and swung it forward suddenly.
In an instant, the roaring wind swept up the smoke and dust on the ground, turning into a blue-green light blade that slashed towards the golden giant palm.
"laugh--"
With a slight sound, a thin blue-green line suddenly appeared on the golden palm power.
Then, the blue-green line grew stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a blue-green knife light that penetrated the body, like the hand of God that split the Red Sea, splitting the golden palm power with a diameter of more than ten meters diagonally into two halves.
"Is this the legendary Tathagata Palm?"
"Nothing more!"
Deng Yougang laughed wildly, and then jumped out from the giant golden palm. His whole body was filled with blue-green energy. The Fang Tian Huaji in his hand drew an arc in the air and slashed towards Su Can's head with fierce murderous intent.
"What?!"
Looking at Deng Yougang above his head, who looked like a god descending from heaven, Su Can was stunned and shocked.
In a trance, he seemed to see the shadow of a nine-foot-tall burly warrior behind Deng Yougang.
The man wore a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a beast-head shoulder-link armor, and held a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand. He had a handsome face, thick eyebrows slanting in his temples, and a pair of tiger eyes revealing a breathtaking brilliance.
Su Can only looked at him for a moment, and a surge of blood, evil and murderous intent rushed towards him.
"Is it Lu Bu Lu Fengxian?!"
Su Can's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he suddenly realized it. He shouted angrily, looked like a furious King Kong, picked up a flower with his left hand, and pushed his right hand upwards suddenly.
"boom!!"
A golden palm force that was more condensed than before penetrated his body and slammed into Deng Yougang who jumped high into the sky.
Deng Yougang opened his eyes wide, shouted loudly, and swung the blue-green Fang Tian Huaji in his hand down.
A blue-green blade light appeared, splitting the golden palm power with great force, and then slashed towards Su Can with undiminished force.
"not good!"
Su Can widened his eyes, and without hesitation, he mobilized the internal strength of his body, clenched his hands into palms, and suddenly lifted up from his dantian.
"boom!!!"
There was a loud bang, the air exploded, and countless air waves rushed in all directions.
The ground beneath Su Can's feet collapsed with a loud bang, and cracks appeared on the ground, spreading like a spider web.
Thick smoke and dust emerged from the cracks, almost instantly covering the figures of Deng Yougang and Su Can.
The next second, a blue-green figure broke out from the smoke and dust, did a backflip, and landed lightly on the edge of the huge pit. The Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand was pointed diagonally at the ground, and he looked at the smoke and dust in front of him with a calm expression.
When the dust settled, a huge circular pit with a diameter of more than 20 meters and a depth of more than 5 meters appeared in front of Deng Yougang.
In the center of the huge pit, Su Can was kneeling on one knee, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his arms hanging limply at his sides, staring blankly at Deng Yougang, who was standing at the edge of the huge pit holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, like Lu Bu in the world.
"…What kind of martial arts is this?"
Su Can suddenly asked in a hoarse voice.
Deng Yougang narrowed his eyes slightly, and swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji formed by the blue-green Qi in his hand fiercely, creating a gully more than ten meters long on the ground. Then he pointed the tip of the halberd at the ground and said slowly:
"Eight Great Skills - Conquering Spirits and Sending Generals!"
