I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 77 Bagua Mountain Shaking Fist

The hustle and bustle of the village was shut out of the house. Xie Yuan returned to his home, sat on the bed, and circulated his internal energy to heal his injuries.

Zhang Yufeng's boxing caused him some internal injuries, but with his health-preserving exercises to protect his internal organs, these injuries are not serious and he will recover after a period of recuperation.

But he certainly won't recuperate in the village.

After a little healing, Xie Yuan regained some spirit, opened his eyes, and took out the booklet from his chest.

There was no writing on the blue cover of the booklet except for a few bloodstains. Xie Yuan rubbed it slightly and took out another book that he kept close to him.

Holding a booklet in each hand, Xie Yuan placed the two books in front of him and compared them, then nodded silently.

It's indeed the same material.

When you open it, you will see that even the handwriting is the same.

"It is undoubtedly the handwriting of that Taoist priest."

Xie Yuan murmured.

I remembered that the Taoist priest once said that he had passed on a boxing technique to my eldest brother, but I couldn't find it and thought it had been torn to pieces by wild beasts. It turned out that it was here again...

Xie Yuan recalled the memories that he had deliberately buried, and remembered that some time before Xie Lun's death, he seemed to have had a few fistfights at home, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

If we calculate, my brother was killed by Zhang Yufeng not long after he met the Taoist priest. If he is given some more time, even if it is not long, with his talent that even the mysterious Taoist priest praises, maybe he will not be afraid of Zhang Yufeng anymore?

It's just a pity that a genius who had just had a fortuitous encounter met an enemy that was completely beyond his current limits, and no miracle happened.

Otherwise, maybe Big Brother could have created his own legend.

Xie Yuan felt somewhat disappointed and heaved a long sigh.

He put away his health-preserving exercises and slowly started practicing boxing.

"..."

After a while, he closed the book again and shook his head.

I feel a little dizzy while reading.

There are too many terms in this book, and Xie Yuan feels like he is reading a book written in heaven.

"What about boxing with the eight trigrams and five elements, stepping on the heavenly and earthly evil spirits, and using the normal to defeat the strange? It seems that I understand a little bit, but not much."

Xie Yuan was somewhat helpless, as a lot of Taoist knowledge was required here. He could get a general idea of ​​many things, but had never studied them systematically. He only knew the basics, not the depth, so he was a little confused.

In general, this is a profound Taoist boxing technique with fierce power, mysterious moves, and both orthodox and strange characteristics.

It has both the most yang and the most rigid power and the changes of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. When facing the enemy, it is unstoppable and undefendable.

Even if it was just a rough estimate, compared with his current fighting style, ignoring the Iron Armor Long Fist, the Longteng Escort Agency's third-grade swordsmanship, the Wolf Sword Art, was completely incomparable.

Although Xie Yuan didn't know what level the top-grade skills in the escort agency were at, he doubted that the entire escort agency, even Shen Longteng's best skills, could not compare with it.

Looking at the effect of Zhang Yufeng's practice, the two of them are at the same level of blood and energy, but it is the first time that Xie Yuan has encountered an opponent at the same level who can compete with him. Even if he took advantage of his distracted mind, it shows the superbness of this boxing method that it can even ignore some differences in internal force cultivation.

But Zhang Yufeng was able to learn it, it seems that he worked hard. He was young, but he was able to climb from a small mountain village to the county government. In a sense, he was not a mediocre person.

But now it should have turned into ashes.

Xie Yuan's eyes turned and he thought:

“If we follow the proper method, we can just find a Taoist priest to chant scriptures to consolidate the foundation. We must first understand the scriptures and then look at the enlightenment.

"But with my talent, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

Xie Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the battle with Zhang Yufeng for a while, remembering the mysteriousness of his moves, and then compared it with the book, reading it through quickly to get a general understanding.

After going through this whole process, Xie Yuan's eyes blurred and he began to understand something.

[Bagua Mountain Shaking Fist: (1/100)]

"Eight Trigrams Mountain Shaking Fist! What a powerful name."

Looking at the martial arts book again, the words that seemed like a heavenly book suddenly made sense, and even the boxing manual images. Eight sets of boxing moves and corresponding body movements naturally appeared in Xie Yuan's mind.

"This boxing style actually also corresponds to fighting body techniques. It is a practical fighting style. Zhang Yufeng has only practiced half of it. The footwork is too abstruse. He obviously hasn't figured it out. Otherwise, there would be a good fight."

Xie Yuan nodded secretly. The more he looked at this set of boxing techniques, the more profound and mysterious it seemed, and how powerful it was.

But no matter how profound it is, I have learned it by myself.

"It's powerful, but also consumes a lot of energy. An ordinary person who practices it for the first time probably can't throw more than a few punches. Even if you practice it for the second time, you can't last long. This is just the initial stage. If an external martial artist wants to use this boxing method... should it be paired with internal energy? This is probably paired with health-preserving exercises?"

Xie Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.

The Taoist priest's identity is mysterious and unfathomable. The health-preserving exercises and the Bagua Mountain-shaking Fist were originally prepared for the eldest brother, and they are likely to be complementary sets.

First, I will teach you the Bagua Hanshan Fist to see if you can understand it. If it works, I will use health-preserving exercises to lay the foundation. After that, I will bring you back into the sect and give you careful guidance.

Xie Yuan felt that he had guessed a hint of the Taoist's thoughts.

"The Health-preserving Kungfu provides endurance, and the Eight Diagrams Mountain-shaking Fist is powerful. Moreover, they are both Taoist Kungfu, with the same origin. When the two are combined, the effect is more than just one plus one being greater than two!"

Xie Yuan perked up and nodded secretly.

However, he closed the book and put it close to his body. He did not start practicing the new skills excitedly as he did before.

Firstly, he was in poor health, and secondly, he couldn't stay in the village for long.

Xie Yuan packed up, got up and went out, just in time to see Li Lan and Wang Lei standing on the slope watching the excitement in the village.

When the two saw him coming out, Li Lan chattered excitedly:

"Yuanzi, Yuanzi! Look, there's a fire at the Zhang family! They say both of them were burned to death!"

"Really? It seems that good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. Those who do evil will eventually perish."

Xie Yuan smiled slightly.

"Yes, yes! Yuanzi, you are literate and educated."

Li Lan nodded repeatedly, then asked doubtfully:

"Yuanzi, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, the escort agency is busy. I had dinner yesterday. I'll come back next time."

"It's better to be busy. Being busy will help you achieve success."

Li Lan put her hands in her sleeves and glanced at Wang Lei, who just laughed.

Xie Yuan loaded the remaining wood in the yard onto the donkey cart, thought for a moment, and called Zhu Dongming:

"Please, Brother Zhu, drive me a ride."

"no problem."

So Zhu Dongming drove the cart, and Xie Yuan sat on the pile of wood behind the cart, wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket and wearing a dog-skin hat. When the Zhang family's land was still hot, they left Xiaoshi Village and headed towards Yunzhao along the official road.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, quite a few people went to the county town, and there was a constant stream of people and vehicles on the official road.

"Gee! Gee! Get out of the way! The police are here to do their job, get out of the way!"

The sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard, and people on the official road hurriedly moved to the sides, watching a small group of officials riding their horses at full speed, galloping northward.

A donkey cart carrying wood stopped by the roadside. Xie Yuan sat on it, watching the officials rushing past him with a slight smile.

I don't know if it was a carrier pigeon or some other means of communication, or if they had agreed on it in advance, but their response was indeed very quick.

But it has nothing to do with me anymore.

Xie Yuan pressed his hat, sat on the donkey cart, and slowly entered Yunzhao County.
