Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 42 Iron Birch Dual Rods
Fangyan responded directly.

How could we refuse such a good thing? Compared with the time when Mr. Lu traveled all over the country to challenge martial arts schools for competition, the nature of the martial arts team is much better now.

At least there won't be a situation where people hold a grudge after losing.

After thinking about it, if I go to the martial arts team at this time, I should be able to meet the Kung Fu Emperor, right?
But now he is only fourteen years old.

If Ding Jian wanted to find someone to fight him, he probably wouldn't look for this person.

I've heard for a long time that the martial arts team is also full of hidden talents. Many disciples of masters from all over the country serve as coaches there. With their own systems, they can definitely steal a lot of things there.

Thinking about it, I still have some expectations.

After finalizing the matters here, Fang Yan chatted with Ding Jian about other matters for a while.

When Mr. Lu was about to teach the dialect Xingyi double stick technique, Ding Jian took the initiative to say goodbye.

After asking, Fangyan found out that Mr. Lu did not pass on the Xingyi double stick technique to Ding Jian.

The reason was that Ding Jian learned the swordsmanship inherited from his family. Their family was also a family of martial arts. Their swordsmanship was well-known in Cangzhou, Hebei before liberation. Later, after the elders in his family passed away, they were sent to the capital. Mr. Lu had an old relationship with their family, so he accepted him as an apprentice.

He was taught Xingyiquan, but he already had his own family kung fu, so some things were not taught to him.

After Ding Jian left, Fang Yan began to learn Xingyi double stick from Mr. Lu.

Just like learning Xingyiquan before, Mr. Lu only taught Fangyan three moves at the beginning: point, poke, and block.

The three moves are closely linked and can be changed at will. Fangyan listened to Mr. Lu's explanation, and then watched him use these three moves back and forth, fighting so ferociously.

Fangyan realized that this was the same method as Xingyiquan, and that the moves had to be effective and the fight had to be ended in the shortest possible time.

After he understood and started practicing, the system voice came as expected:

[Ding! Divine Skill Experience System, Xingyi Double Stick, Point, Poke, Block three moves use experience +10 years]

At this moment, the two short sticks in his hands seemed to be infused with souls. They became extremely agile and elusive, even more agile than that of Mr. Lu himself.

The two sticks appeared and disappeared in Fangyan's hands, and every time they were used, it was as if they appeared out of thin air.

Fangyan flicked his fingers and the sticks hid in his sleeves. He stretched out his hand and shook the sticks, and they came out of his sleeves like a snake. They were like spirit snakes in the air. The two sticks covered the area of ​​more than one meter in front of him, and the air made sounds with their whooshing sounds.

Fangyan coordinated his body movements, steps, and force-generating techniques, like a ghost. At this moment, the three moves of Xingyi double sticks were like overlapping waves, continuous and endless.

Such a scene shocked even Mr. Lu.

This was obviously much more spiritual than the one he used himself. The two wooden sticks in Fangyan's hands were just like his own limbs.

He was truly able to act according to his heart, suddenly and agilely. Although the three simple moves were the ones he had taught me before, it was a different feeling when used by Fangyan.

No matter how agile the weapon used by Mr. Lu himself was, it was more like a formal weapon. But it was different for Fangyan. The two sticks in his hands were more like hidden weapons or like elongated hands.

In other words, he used the Xingyi double sticks like a weapon like the Emei Thorn. If you don't know his background, you can easily be seriously injured by him in a short time.

"Okay, okay, I said we were destined to be together. I didn't expect that this Xingyi double stick would suit you so well. You can develop your own style right away."

Hearing Mr. Lu's praise, Fang Yan stopped what he was doing. He was just doing it out of habit.

Imagine that there is an enemy in front of you, fighting with you, and the double sticks in his hands are always used to hit acupoints, and each attack is aimed at an acupoint. Fangyan pointed out that the double sticks were still a little too thick. If it was just for hitting acupoints, he felt that they could be thinner. However, if they were thinner, he would not be able to do actions such as blocking, chopping, flicking, hanging and sweeping.

While he was still thinking about it, Mr. Lu started to praise him.

Fang Yan hurriedly bowed and said to Mr. Lu:

"Master taught me well. As expected, there are many techniques of the Twelve Forms Boxing in these two sticks. I have benefited a lot from just three moves."

Mr. Lu smiled and said:

"This is the first time I've seen someone learn so quickly. Geniuses in this world are truly astonishing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have believed that there is someone like you?"

"Well, today I will teach you all the other Xingyi Double Stick techniques."

"The remaining moves are all defensive moves, slightly different from the three moves just now. Let me show you."

As he spoke, Mr. Lu took the double sticks from Fangyan's hands and began to demonstrate in front of Fangyan.

Just as he said, these are all big moves. Compared with Fangyan’s three moves just now, they are more like strange moves. These are the real moves, which are open and upright.

It was obvious that Mr. Lu was more familiar with these moves. After the fight, they were obviously much more powerful than the previous three moves. Fang Yan, as an expert, could see it in just a few moves.

However, this did not pose a problem for Fang Yan, and he soon started to practice along with them. As Mr. Lu pointed out the key points and movements, fighting tips, coordinated positions and steps, force techniques, attack timing, and tricks such as how to change moves, Fang Yan understood them and immediately heard the system's voice.

There were several "ding!" sounds in succession.

Fangyan also combined the remaining moves of chopping, stabbing, plucking, picking and sweeping. At this time, his style was more like Mr. Lu's upright style, which was very different from the ghostly style of the previous three moves.

Fangyan also felt that the double sticks in his hands suddenly became suitable again, and even felt that the double sticks should be heavier so that they would be more powerful.

Seeing Fangyan using the moves he taught him very smoothly in a short time, Mr. Lu believed even more that Fangyan had a connection with Xingyi Double Stick. After stopping Fangyan, he asked Fangyan to follow him back to the study, and then dragged out a large box from the corner.

When the box was opened, a bunch of things appeared inside. Fangyan saw that there were not only swords for practicing martial arts, but also gun heads, nine-section whips, nunchakus, short daggers, and even some strange weapons that Fangyan could not recognize. All of these things looked quite old.

But they all seemed to have been maintained regularly. At this time, Fangyan guessed that his master was going to give him another weapon.

Sure enough, Mr. Lu picked it out and found two black sticks with growth ring patterns on them and handed them to Fangyan.

"This pair of sticks I used in my early years is made from a birch tree that was struck by lightning in Jilin. It grows in bitter cold places and is as hard as steel. It cannot be chopped or broken by ordinary knives and axes. During the Great Patriotic War, the Soviets used it to make ball bearings. It is perfect to use it to make a pair of sticks as a weapon. Since you have such a good relationship with this Xingyi double stick, I will give you this pair of birch sticks now."
