The Heavens: A Strengthening Journey Starting from Ip Man

Chapter 2
In most cases, Hong Zhennan would not personally teach his apprentices, especially the basic skills of Hong Quan, which were all taught by the senior apprentices.

After all, there are dozens of apprentices who learn martial arts, and he can't teach them alone.

If the talent is good and the basic skills can be learned quickly, Hong Zhennan will personally teach some deeper things.

However, martial arts requires talent. Some people who have practiced for three or four years can't even beat novices who have practiced for three or four months.

Of course, if he is rich or has a certain status, Hong Zhennan will consider teaching in person.

And Gu Yun belongs to this category.

When reporting the next day, Gu Yun met Hong Zhennan directly.

The first time they met each other, Hong Zhennan's aura made Gu Yun feel oppressed.

Although he was fat, his eyes were extremely lively. He stood there like a lion ready to go.

"You are Ah Yun. I heard that you have just arrived in Hong Kong Island not long ago?" Hong Zhennan sat on a chair, picked up his tea bowl and took a sip.

Gu Yun stood beside him, and quickly replied: "Yes, I want to come here to ask for a living."

Hong Zhennan asked again: "Is there anyone else at home?"

"No more, I'm the only one left." Gu Yun said.

Hong Zhennan nodded, his eyes softened a little, and he replied: "In troubled times, life is like a straw. Since you are here, you can treat this place as your home."

"Yes, master." Gu Yun's heart warmed slightly.

Hong Zhennan wiped his mouth with a towel, stood up and said, "Looking at your behavior, you probably haven't been exposed to martial arts."

"No."

"In this case, you should practice the basic skills first.

"The most important thing about Hong Quan is basic skills. It is a hard bridge and a hard horse. It relies on the body. Only by improving the strength of the body can the power of Hong Quan be exerted."

"You squat first, and after practicing for a while, I will teach you Gongzi Fuhuquan."

Hong Zhennan personally gave instructions. He reached out and patted Gu Yun's body, and found that this apprentice was not weak, which surprised him.

Having a good foundation means that the starting point is high and the upper limit is also high.

Although most ordinary people can practice martial arts, those with good physique will have an advantage.

The result was exactly as Hong Zhennan expected, Gu Yun lasted for more than half an hour for the first time.

"You really haven't practiced martial arts before?" Hong Zhennan looked at Gu Yun suspiciously.

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "There really isn't one."

"You are fine. I thought it would take a while before I could teach you other kung fu, but I didn't expect your foundation to be so good. I guess you will be able to learn other kung fu in a few days." Hong Zhennan sighed.

Gu Yun could clearly see the joy in his eyes.

After all, after so many years of development of martial arts, in fact, there is not much difference between each sect and school, and the difference is only among martial arts practitioners.

If a sect has a super master who can defeat other sects, it is not because the martial arts of this sect are much higher than other martial arts, it is just because they have recruited a genius.

Although Hong Zhennan has taken in dozens of apprentices, in terms of qualifications, they are all mediocre, and there are no particularly talented people.

Now that he met Gu Yun, Hong Zhennan was naturally very happy, but he still needed to observe for a while before making any plans.

In the next few days, Gu Yun's horse riding became more and more stable, not losing to those masters who had practiced for seven or eight years.

Therefore, Hong Zhennan decided to teach Gu Yun Gong Zi Fu Hu Quan.

"Now, I'm going to play the Gongzi Subduing Tiger Fist again, please watch carefully."

Hong Zhennan opened his posture, and in front of Gu Yun he punched a set of Fuhu Fist.

Gongzi Fuhu Fist contains all kinds of steps, footwork and hand movements of Hongquan. After practicing this routine well, you will get the foundation of Hongquan. It will be much easier to learn higher-level techniques. A good "Gongzi Fuhuquan" is of great benefit to those who practice Hongquan.

Gu Yun watched carefully, and found that he could concentrate very easily now, and his memory had also increased significantly.

Now, he has finally realized the benefits of mental values ​​exceeding ordinary people.

After Hong Zhennan played it once, he began to prepare to disassemble the moves and teach them.

However, Gu Yun seemed to be stunned and stood on the spot.

He carefully recalled the moves just now, and then his body began to punch out the "Fu Hu Fist" on its own.

Hong Zhennan on the side looked at Gu Yun with some shock, watching him punch the I-zi Fuhu Fist from beginning to end.

Although some movements in the middle are not standard enough, and the way of exerting force in some places is wrong, but this is amazing enough.

"My memory is really good. It seems I have found a treasure." Hong Zhennan murmured softly.

Gu Yun recovered from this state of concentration only after finishing punching the "Fu Hu Fist".

"You are very good." Hong Zhennan looked at Gu Yun and smiled.

However, Gu Yun felt a little tired. He was highly concentrated just now, and he was still very exhausted.

"Hit it again." Hong Zhennan said.

Gu Yun took a deep breath, nodded slightly, then took up his stance again and started punching.

This time, Hong Zhennan corrected Gu Yun's non-standard movements, and Gu Yun also learned very quickly. After only two or three times, he was able to master the I-shaped Fuhu Fist.

Next, you need to spend time polishing and integrating this set of boxing techniques into yourself, so that you can do whatever you want when boxing, and you can do it at your fingertips.

For the next half a month, Gu Yun was practicing Gongzi Fuhu Fist. This boxing technique is a basic skill. Only when you practice it well, you can practice other boxing techniques later will be more effective with half the effort.

During this period, he used a talent card to practice this boxing technique.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Yun was able to master the Gongzi Fuhu Fist in half a month, far surpassing his senior brothers.

Gu Yun's progress shocked Hong Zhennan again. When he was learning Hongquan, his master once said the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.

To be reasonable, Hong Zhennan also has his own pride, thinking that his talent is not inferior to others.

It can be seen from the martial arts circle in Hong Kong that at present, no one can beat him, Hong Zhennan.

But now after meeting Gu Yun, he understands the meaning of genius.

"I didn't expect you to practice so fast. It seems that you are born to practice martial arts. In this case, I will teach you another boxing method, Tiger and Crane Double Form Boxing!" Hong Zhennan said.

The Hongquan practiced by Hong Zhennan belongs to the Southern School of Hongquan. The Southern School of Hongquan has three unique skills, which are Gongzi Fuhuquan, Huhe Shuangxingquan and Tiexianquan.

Tiger Crane Shuangxingquan is a set of boxing skills adapted by Lin Shirong based on Hongquan and Buddhaquan. It is known as Hongtoufowei.

Naturally, Gu Yun had also heard of the name of this boxing technique, and suddenly became very interested.

When he was watching Hong Zhennan boxing, he directly opened the talent card and realized it carefully.

Tiger Crane Shuangxingquan imitates the movements of tigers and cranes. The whole boxing method has [-] points, which are divided into hand shape and pace. It combines "strength" and "shape" together, absorbing the fierce offensive of Buddha Quan and the strength of Hong Quan. Tight defense, powerful fists, combination of fast and slow, high and low, clear rhythm.

Gu Yun, who had activated the talent card, watched Hong Zhennan's movements as if he was watching a movie, turning every movement into a film and engraving it in his mind, and his body also moved with Hong Zhennan's movements.
