1165 [Discussion behind closed doors]
After a while, Xiang Nan took Jinshan to find and Shi Tiezhu went to Hu Yong's Changsheng Gambling Stall.
As soon as we entered, we saw a large number of gamblers gathered around the gambling table, shouting and drinking, making it very lively.
Xiang Nan knew that Portugal had legalized gambling in Macau since 1847. Since then, the gambling industry in Macau has been booming and out of control.
In 34 years, Macau even announced that it would allow various gambling industries to have patent rights and compete for Macau's casino business in the form of bidding. As a result, Macau's gambling industry has achieved monopoly, scale, and groupization. Every time there is a bid, the subject matter is Millions of silver dollars show the extent of its huge profits.
Xiang Nan went to Jinshan to find him. After Shi Tiezhu arrived, he first signed up with the spectators.
The spectators looked at Xiang Nan fiercely several times, and then took them to the room behind the gambling stall.
There are sword and gun racks, stone locks, stone poles, sandbags, and wooden stakes in the room. It looks like a place for martial arts training.
Hu Xiu Yong was sitting there drinking tea. When he saw Xiang Nan, he stood up and said, "Ye, you really dare to come."
"A gentleman's word is a whip. Since I agreed to compete, why don't I come." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Master Miao, let's get started."
"Okay, close the door." Hu Xiyong shouted.
At that moment, a younger brother came over and closed the door. As a result, it was difficult to escape even if he wanted to.
Jinshan looked for him and his face changed slightly.
The doors were closed, and iron bars were installed outside the windows. Now, it became a trap.
However, Xiang Nan was not afraid, and instead thought that Hu Yong was a smart man.
If he is a reckless man, the more lively the competition will be, the better. Just like when Jinshan came to compete with him, he wished he could bring everyone from Faoshan to watch the fun. He never thought about what would happen if he lost. .
On the contrary, Master Liao, Zhang Tianzhi, Ip Man, Hong Zhennan, Wan Zonghua and others all know how to discuss things behind closed doors. In this way, no matter whether they win or lose, the impact will be within a controllable range.
So from the fact that Hu Xiyong set up the competition venue inside the house and had to compete behind closed doors, we know that he is not a reckless man.
In fact, this is also true. How could a really reckless man manage three gambling stalls and two brothels? He has been used as a weapon long ago.
But dealing with smart people is much easier.
…
Xiang Nan and Hu Huyong immediately got into their stances and began to compete.
The brave man with a beard is Baguazhang.
Baguazhang, based on the sword technique, is said to have been created by Dong Haichuan, a great master in the late Qing Dynasty. It emphasizes avoiding the right angles and striking in a circle, which is very different from Wing Chun which emphasizes grabbing the center line.
As soon as the competition started, Hu Xiuyong circled around Xiang Nan. His steps were fast, moving left and right, and his body shape was erratic. What was real was false, and what was false was real.
Xiang Nan was so dazzled by him that he couldn't help but close his eyes.
When Hushu Yong saw this, his face lit up and he immediately walked around Xiang Nan and attacked.
"Ask brother, be careful." Shi Tiezhu shouted.
At this moment, Hu Xiangyong had already poked Xiang Nan's waist with his palm.
If this move is successful, Xiang Nan's kidney will basically be considered useless.
Tai Chi is evil and Bagua is slippery. The most poisonous thing is the mind.
The viciousness of Baguazhang can be seen from Hu Xiuyong's move.
Seeing that the tip of his palm was about to hit Xiang Nan, at this moment, Xiang Nan's figure suddenly dodged to the side to avoid Hu Xiuyong's blow.
Seeing this, Beard Yong attacked again, using both palms in succession, one palm, two palms, three palms and four palms... Each palm seemed to be able to hit Xiang Nan, but it always missed a little.
As the saying goes, one can make great progress, then it will weaken, and three times it will be exhausted.
Hu Yong even attacked Xiang Nan several times, but failed to hit him, and couldn't help feeling a little exhausted.
At this moment, Xiang Nan began to fight back.
He raised his hand to block Hu Xiuyong's palm, and then punched him in the chest.
Beard Yong received a punch and felt severe pain in his internal organs, and he couldn't help but step back.
Xiang Nan did not take advantage of the situation to attack again, but stopped.
Defeating Hu Yong is not the goal, but conquering him is what Xiang Nan wants.
…
"Wing Chun Listening to the Bridge?!" Hu Yong said with a surprised look on his face after he stabilized his body.
Wing Chun listening bridge is not originally done with ears, but through the practice of picking hands to improve the touch and sensitivity of the arms. In this way, practice makes perfect, and you can practice picking hands with your eyes closed.
Just like if you become proficient in typing, you can touch type. This is not a very advanced skill.
However, Hu Xiuyong has also heard people say that there is a higher level of Wing Chun listening to the bridge, which is to identify the position by listening to the sound. By listening with the ears, you can identify the speed, angle and position of the opponent's attack.
But he always thought it was bragging. After all, human ears are limited. During the competition, both sides move very fast. Even with the eyes, it is not possible to see the moves clearly. How could it be possible to tell the difference with ears alone? Unless it is a god.
But today, Hu Xiang Yong saw that although Xiang Nan had his eyes closed, he clearly knew every move he made and reacted accordingly. He had to believe it.
"Master Miao is knowledgeable." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Beard Yong's eyes were sharp, but he was not timid, but rather eager to try.
For those who are good at martial arts, meeting a master is like a gourmet meeting delicious food. They must enjoy it. Even if they fail, it is still worth it.
At that moment, Hu Huyong regained his strength and attacked again.
This time he didn't play tricks anymore, but went head-to-head. After all, his Bagua Step had been broken, and it was useless to use it again.
Xiang Nan didn't hesitate when he saw it, and he also followed up and confronted him head-on.
The two of them used one palm and one punch, and their moves were extremely fast and made a snapping sound, which made Jinshan Xuan extremely excited.
However, he could see that Hu Yong's kung fu was at best about the same as him, and even worse than that of Ip Man.
Every palm he threw was firmly caught by Xiang Nan. However, he could not catch every punch Xiang Nan threw.
As the fists and palms came back and forth, Xiang Nan suddenly saw a flaw. He crossed the palms of Hu Yong's left hand with his left hand, and hit his eyes with the index finger of his right hand.
His two fingers went straight into Beard Yong's eyes, like two dragons playing with pearls.
Beard Yong was so frightened that his color suddenly changed.
This finger is going to be poked, and he will have to set up a broken bowl on the street to beg.
But just when Xiang Nan's fingers touched his eyelids, he suddenly stopped and kicked him out.
Beard Yong was frightened, but he was still so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Master Ye, thank you for keeping your hand." He cupped his hands and said.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
"But I still want to learn some weapons from you." Hu Xiuyong added, "The Bagua Dao is my best skill."
"Okay, even so, then I will use the Eight-Zhan Sword to teach me a lesson." Xiang Nan nodded, and then waved to Jinshan.
Jinshan Xun then took out two short knives from his waist and threw them to Xiang Nan.
The Eight-Zhan Sword is a unique sword technique of Wing Chun. It is both offensive and defensive, sharp and quick, and the emphasis is on the word "quick".
The knife used in the Ba Zhan Dao is usually only one foot, which is naturally much shorter than the Bagua Dao which is generally four feet long.
But as the saying goes, every inch is short and every inch is dangerous. What Ba Zhan Dao is good at is short-range attacks. Once you get close, it is difficult for gods to defend you.
