The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 112: Taizu Changquan and Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms
Zhao Ti looked carefully at this moment and found that Taizu Changquan was an external boxing, but it was a boxing method that practiced internal strength while practicing external strength.

Each time he strikes out, he uses the internal strength he has practiced to exert force. This method is different from the internal martial arts method that directly uses internal force to stimulate the attack.

Instead, you should use your mind first and then exert your strength, not first exert your strength and then use your fist.

All external martial arts are guided by the idea of boxing, and Taizu Changquan, a martial art that practices internal strength through external skills, is no exception.

Another similar move is the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms. The fist intent of the Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms is extremely powerful, and almost every move has a separate fist intent.

The latent dragon is in the deep, the flying dragon is in the sky. If the latent dragon is not used, the arrogant dragon will regret it.

Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is dark yellow, the dragons are leaderless, and good luck to the world!

Seeing the Thirty-Two-Stroke Long Fist that Qiao Feng was performing at this time, Zhao Ti's expression changed slightly.

It turned out to be like this, except for the first posture of Taizu Changquan, which was the same as the original Changquan posture, the other 31 postures were all wrong!

It's not a big mistake, just a slight difference, but in martial arts, a slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake.

But since only the first force is correct, why do the subsequent forces still seem so powerful?

Zhao Ti's mind turned slightly and he figured out the reason. The first posture drove the following thirty-one postures. The energy of the first posture and the residual force of the fist made the following thirty-one postures powerful even if the fist posture was wrong.

That is to say, of the Taizu Changquan used by Qiao Feng, the first posture is the strongest, and it becomes weaker as it goes on. It is only by relying on the first posture that the whole set of boxing can be used!
After a while, the thirty-two boxing moves were completed, and Qiao Feng said, "Excuse me, Master Zhao."

Zhao Ti shook his head. He saw a posthouse not far ahead and said, "Master Qiao, go sit in the posthouse over there and let's talk."

Qiao Feng said, "It is better to obey than to be respectful."

Zhao Ti ordered Bai Zhan to pass on the message, telling the soldiers and horses not to come over, but to stop over there and then send the wine over.

Then they walked towards the pavilion, and when they got inside, Zhao Ti said, "Sit down and talk."

Qiao Feng said, "Mr. Zhao is a member of the royal family, and I am just a commoner in the martial arts world. I will just stand there."

Zhao Ti shook his head: "I have a long history with Master Qiao and we are talking about martial arts, so why shouldn't I sit down? Hurry up and sit down."

Qiao Feng clasped his fists upon hearing this and sat down opposite him. At this time, Zhao Ti said, "I just watched this set of long fists. Except for the first posture, all the others are wrong."

"Are they all wrong?" Qiao Feng asked in surprise.

"It's normal actually. Practicing boxing trains people, and practicing martial arts trains the mind. Many people do it out of habit. Even if the original Changquan boxing method is placed in front of them, they will practice it incorrectly. It's the person, not the method. I think this is the boxing form that Master Qiao learned. The people before him passed it down from generation to generation and made more and more mistakes. It has nothing to do with Master Qiao." Zhao Ti said.

“I also understand this principle, but I didn’t expect that there are mistakes in all thirty-one postures.” Qiao Feng said with a slightly red face.

"Master Qiao has mastered many unique skills. It is normal that he does not have insight into any of them." Zhao Ti said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng said, "I'm ashamed. I really practice the Beggars' Sect's martial arts. I seldom practice this boxing style. Today, I was thinking about something, so I started fighting by the Luo River."

Zhao Ti said: "I will now show the real boxing stance to Master Qiao. Master Qiao only needs to tell me the power and intention of the first stance."

Qiao Feng said, "It should be so."

Zhao Ti glanced at Su Da who was standing guard at the far end of the pavilion and said, "Perform the Taizu Changquan for Master Qiao to see."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng was shocked. He did not expect that this close follower of Master Zhao actually knew the original Taizu Changquan.

In fact, among the seven people Zhao Ti brought out from the Imperial City Bureau, five of them knew how to do it. Except Hou San and Zhu Si, the others had practiced it in the palace and they all knew the original Changquan style.

Su Da responded and started boxing. He did not use any strength, just an empty fist stance.

After reading it, Qiao Feng raised his thick eyebrows and said, "Sure enough, there are some differences in the subtle details."

Zhao Ti smiled slightly and said, "Do it again!" Su Da did it again after hearing what he said. This time, after watching it, Qiao Feng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Thank you for troubling me, Master Zhao. I have memorized it. Now I will tell you the meaning of the first move."

Then he started talking, but the more Zhao Ti listened, the more confused he looked.

He didn't know how big the gap was between what Qiao Feng had understood and the real Taizu Changquan, but since he had displayed such powerful power, he must have grasped some of the true meaning, maybe half, maybe 10%, or maybe 20% or 30%.

He didn't do it himself, he just watched it and didn't know how powerful it was.

But he could not figure out that it was this way of exerting force and boxing intention. This was not entirely related to talent.

This way of exerting force seems quite irrelevant according to Changquan.

If you want to deduce martial arts, you must have a reference connection, just like a knight practicing martial arts, only after he has mastered one move can he deduce other moves forward or backward. Without any reference, no one can create something out of thin air.

Seeing Zhao Ti's puzzled expression, Qiao Feng explained, "To be honest, Master Zhao, I tried many ways to generate power, but none of them had much power. Later, I used one of the 28 Dragon Subduing Palms to generate power, and that's how I developed the Chang Quan we have today. I think there is something in common between the two."

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes and asked, "Which one?"

Qiao Feng said, "Flying Dragon in the Sky, but this is a unique skill of the Beggars' Sect, I cannot exchange it with Master Zhao."

Zhao Ti waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

He thought to himself, this is it? How is Flying Dragon in the Sky similar to Taizu Changquan?
He said: "Other moves..."

Qiao Feng shook his head: "I didn't see any similarities with other parts. Even the 31st move at the end of Taizu Changquan, which had a wrong fist stance, I also referred to the Flying Dragon in the Sky Palm."

Is there only a flying dragon in the sky? Zhao Ti frowned.

At this time, Bai Zhan brought people to deliver wine, as well as dried meat, dried fruits and the like.

Zhao Ti said, "Master Qiao and I hit it off right away, so why not have a few drinks together?"

Qiao Feng looked at the wine and meat and indeed felt hungry, but he did not act pretentiously: "Qiao Feng obeys your command."

Bai Zhan opened the wine seal, filled a large bowl, and the two of them started drinking.

Zhao Ti did not ask Qiao Feng about the Beggars' Sect, nor did he ask him why he was there. He just talked about martial arts. Qiao Feng was extremely talented in martial arts and he spoke eloquently without any thought or hesitation.

In a blink of an eye, the jar of wine was finished, and at this moment, a group of people came from the other side of the pavilion.

Zhou Tong was guarding that side, and when he saw this, he came over to report: "Sir, judging from their appearance, they all look like Jianghu people, and they are dressed in various colors. They seem to be... disciples of the Beggars' Sect."

"A disciple of the Beggars' Sect?" Zhao Ti glanced at Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng stood up and clasped his fists: "You came to see me. Thank you for the wine and food, sir. Qiao Feng will take his leave now."

Zhao Ti said: "Why rush to leave? Let's see what's going on."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and looked to that side.

There were about thirty or forty people, most of whom were wearing patched clothes and holding wooden sticks, while a few were dressed in normal clothes and holding knives and guns.

Zhou Tong shouted loudly: "Where are you from? Stop!"

The leader of those people was an old man with a white beard, who was also wearing patched clothes and had a cloth bag on his back.

Then he said, "Sun Renzhi, the leader of the Dawu branch of the Beggars' Sect, has led his disciples to intercept the Khitan villain Qiao Feng. I wonder if the fellow martial artists on the other side are willing to stand up for this thief?"
