Chapter 28 Swordsmanship

"Teacher Jiang Sheng is a teacher who directed classic Hong Kong martial arts films in the early years. He is also a national martial arts coach at the Wuying level. His fancy moves are enough for you to learn for a lifetime."

Hou Siping spoke calmly, but his face had turned cold. Everyone was so frightened that they dared not breathe.

Jiang Sheng, the martial arts instructor, also smiled and looked at Jiang Wudao, "I can teach you some simple moves, but I'm afraid you can't do it."

He is a national martial arts level coach, so naturally everyone has no doubts about what he said, but there is really no need to doubt it.

Mu Xiaoying tried to smooth things over by saying, "Jiang Wu, don't be stubborn. The progress was slow before, and now we have finally caught up. Let's just listen to the director."

The previous slow progress was also because Jiang Wu was always unable to play the young Cang Yue that Hou Siping wanted. When Mu Xiaoying mentioned this, everyone frowned and felt a little dissatisfied. It was a hot day, and the crew had no air conditioning. Everyone wanted to shoot early and finish work early, but Jiang Wu was here pretending to know everything and making a fuss. No wonder people on the Internet said he was a small-time player.

Hou Siping suppressed his anger and looked at Jiang Wu, "Then how do you want to shoot it?"

Jiang Wu didn't answer, but weighed the prop sword in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes dimmed and he thrust the sword at Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng was startled and subconsciously dodged, but Jiang Wu didn't stop at all, and chopped the opponent's neck without retracting the sword. Jiang Sheng's eyes widened, and he raised the sword to block the attack. The two prop swords collided, and Jiang Sheng's palm was numb from the shock.

"Jiang Wu! What are you doing?" Shen Yan shouted in panic.

Jiang Wu, however, turned a deaf ear to him. His cold and sharp eyes met Jiang Sheng's, which made Jiang Sheng's body covered with goosebumps. The next second, Jiang Wu drew his sword and stabbed back. Each move was thrilling and each sword was so fast that people could not react in time. Jiang Sheng was forced to retreat again and again, and finally Jiang Wu knocked the sword out of his hand and pressed it against his neck.

The prop sword that was thrown into the air actually pierced into the wall half an inch.

The entire set fell silent.

Everyone stared in amazement at the prop sword that pierced into the wall and couldn't recover for a long time. This was not a special effect, but real kung fu!

Hou Siping stared at Jiang Wu, "You know Kung Fu?!"

Jiang Wu neatly made a sword flower and held the sword behind him, "A little bit."

The people around were speechless. Brother, you are too humble. People at the Wuying level have all lost, and you only know this little?

Jiang Wu was indeed not humble, but he did not expect that swordsmanship in this era had fallen to this level. This martial arts athlete who was said to be at the national level did not even have a trace of internal strength.

Jiang Sheng, the person involved, took a while to react. He didn't mind losing, but asked eagerly, "I see your sword skills are very smooth, it seems like you have a master. Can I ask which school you belong to?"

Jiang Wuyi paused. He actually seldom used the sword. This sword technique was taught by his Taoist friend who had been dead for more than a thousand years. It was not fancy, but just killing moves. He had chopped off many heads on the battlefield in those days.

"A friend taught me. He's a Taoist priest, but I don't know which sect he belongs to."

"All right."

Although Jiang Sheng was a little disappointed, he still took the initiative to add Jiang Wu's WeChat. The other actors had subtle expressions when they saw this.

Jiang Sheng was one of the earliest martial arts instructors for martial arts movies in Hong Kong in his early years. Hou Siping had to use some favors to invite him. He didn't expect that the other party would be so easily able to make friends with Jiang Wuyou. This network is incredible.

However, although Jiang Wu knows martial arts, this scene is an opponent scene, and Zhong Xue does not know martial arts.

"It's okay, Jiang Wu will teach me, right?" Zhong Xue tilted her head and looked at Jiang Wu with a smile.

Jiang Wu was a little reluctant, but he had no choice but to say, "Yeah."

Zhong Xue couldn't help laughing as she saw him nodding with reluctance on his face.

The other crew members looked at the eye contact between the two and realized that a scandal was about to spread.

Mu Xiaoying touched Shen Yan's arm and said with a half-smile, "Your mistress has been robbed."

Shen Yan smiled helplessly, "She's my boss, how can I control her?"

With Zhong Xue's status, she starred in "Qi Tian Jiao" partly because she liked the script and partly to promote the newcomers under her. In addition, she is also half of the producer of this drama. Who dares to control her?

Mu Xiaoying sneered and said nothing.

Although Zhong Xue had some intention in asking Jiang Wu to teach her, she did not slack off during the learning process, but made rapid progress. After Jiang Wu demonstrated the sword moves three times, she could replicate them almost exactly, and the two of them got along very quickly.

"You have a natural talent for martial arts." Jiang Wu said.

Zhong Xue looked at his serious expression and laughed, "Why, do you want to ask me to become your disciple, brother?"

Jiang Wuheng glanced at her and said, "I am the only one in my sect."

"Yeah, then I really have to call you Master."

“…”

Thanks to Zhong Xue's extraordinary learning ability, the two of them performed the fight scene very well. Director Hou applauded with satisfaction and asked Jiang Wu and Jiang Sheng to have some discussions to improve the fighting scenes of the entire crew. This was a piece of cake for Jiang Wu, so he agreed.

That night, a group of people were busy until midnight. Hou Siping simply took several leading actors to have a barbecue nearby. Since they had to shoot the next afternoon, they only ordered a jug of beer. Hou Siping drank four bottles by himself. The second male lead Cheng Hongwen was from Northeast China and could also drink. Zhong Xue, Shen Yan, and Mu Xiaoying each drank a bottle, but Jiang Wu didn't touch a single sip.

"It's just beer, it won't intoxicate you." Cheng Hongwen advised.

Jiang Wu shook his head, "I never drink."

Shen Yan glared, "You never drink? How can you be so healthy?"

Jiang Wu was naturally not doing it for health preservation, but as a fortune teller who has the ability to change the world's fortune, if he gets drunk, he may unconsciously change the fate of others, or even the fortune of heaven and earth. The consequences can be serious or minor, so every generation of fortune tellers will tell their apprentices that they must never drink.

Mu Xiaoying suddenly asked, "I heard that when you were in HONG, you often drank and ate barbecue with your teammates?"

Jiang Wu raised his eyes and looked at her without saying anything.

Cheng Hongwen thought he was making excuses, so he advised, "It's okay to drink less, just one glass, give me some face."

Jiang Wu poured a glass of water and said, "Drink tea instead of wine. It will be very troublesome if I get drunk."

Shen Yan laughed, "How troublesome is it? Will he get drunk and go crazy? Or will he run naked?"

"No." Jiang Wu looked up at the night sky above his head, "The sky will collapse and the earth will split."

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter. Cheng Hongwen patted his shoulder and laughed, "I didn't realize you're such a humorous person! I read online that you're a big shot, have a bad temper, and are petty. I thought you were hard to get along with!"

Jiang Wu silently dodged his big hand and said faintly, "Don't scold me, don't scold me, I'll change it."

Several people laughed.

The next morning, Jiang Wu was called up by Zhang Xiaoyu, who said that he was on the trending search again. Jiang Wu lazily said, "Let them criticize him, he didn't care anyway."

"It's not black material, it's a scandal! You and Zhong Xue were photographed!"
