Travel through the heavens

"Mr.Zhou?"

Zhao Xinchuan muttered to himself, and quickly went through all the people in Taiji Sect in his mind, but there was no one with the surname Zhou. Just as he was about to say that he didn't know him, someone suddenly came to his mind, and he asked directly: "But Zhou Xiyu?"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Yes, it is him. It seems that you do know him."

Zhao Xinchuan said excitedly: "He is my uncle, I wonder where he is now, can you tell me?"

"Of course you can. Come with me and I'll take you to see him." Fang Muye waved his hand and turned around to leave.

Not long after, Fang Muye brought Zhao Xinchuan to Changming Temple and found Zhou Xiyu sweeping the floor in the backyard.

Zhou Xiyu raised his broom, looked at the two men with a gentle look, and said with a smile: "Daoyou is here, who is this gentleman?"

Before Fang Muye could introduce him, Zhao Xinchuan hurried forward, bowed, and said respectfully: "Taiji Sect disciple Zhao Xinchuan, meeting Uncle Master Zhou."

When Zhao Xinchuan entered the sect, Zhou Xiyu had already left Taijimen. However, he saw an old photo in Taijimen many years ago. There was a person in the photo whom he had never seen before. A senior uncle told him that that was Zhou Xiyu, the most beloved disciple of the grandmaster Mr. Peng Xiaowen. When he asked again where Zhou Xiyu had gone, the senior uncle remained silent.

When he saw Zhou Xiyu himself at this moment, he quickly merged him with the person in the photo that year.

Zhou Xiyu asked calmly: "Whose apprentice are you?"

Zhao Xinchuan replied: "My master is Peng Qianwu."

Zhou Xiyu's eyes moved: "Did Senior Brother send you here?"

Zhao Xinchuan shook his head: "Master doesn't know you are here."

Zhou Xiyu nodded slightly and said lightly: "Yes, if senior brother knew that I was here, he would be the one who came." Having said that, he cast a puzzled look at Fang Muye.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "I happened to see him practicing Peng family Tai Chi in the bamboo forest beside the West Lake, so I talked to him for a while. He said he was your nephew and wanted to meet you, so I brought him here."

Zhou Xiyu said "hmm", then looked at Zhao Xinchuan and asked, "Why are you in Hangzhou?"

Zhao Xinchuan sighed heavily, with a trace of sadness on his face, and slowly said: "Master opened many martial arts schools in the north and taught Tai Chi Push Hands. Although he became famous in the martial arts world, he also caused resentment among many martial arts schools and people in the martial arts world."

Tai Chi Push Hands is performed by two people who put their hands together, entangle and twist each other, and use techniques such as "peng, lu, ji, an, cai, lie, elbow, kao" to achieve the purpose of using the enemy's strength to attack the enemy.

The cultural community has a very high opinion of Tai Chi Push Hands, believing it to be a unique skill full of philosophy. Fang Muye can always see related articles in the newspapers.

Peng Qianwu was famous for his Tai Chi pushing hands and was known as a Tai Chi master. It was reported in the newspaper that he could push someone several meters away just by putting his hands together.

But Tai Chi Push Hands is just mechanics and cannot be considered real kung fu. It is okay to show off in the secular world.

Zhao Xinchuan continued, "I am the master's last disciple, a student who keeps up appearances. I learned the real skills of Tai Chi. When someone challenges me, I fight on his behalf. I fought on his behalf 37 times and won every time. But the master became increasingly indifferent to me, and later even withheld the money I earned from teaching students at the Peng Family Martial Arts School. I was puzzled at the time as to why the kind and generous master would become so mean and stingy."

Fang Muye smiled lightly and said, "You have aroused the jealousy of your master. In the martial arts world, some masters will sneak attack their apprentices and destroy their skills when they see that their apprentices' skills are better than theirs."

Zhao Xinchuan smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Uncle Lu also told me so. He said that Master didn't use cruel means on me and was very merciful. He advised me to leave quickly and told me about you, Uncle Zhou. He said that you left Taiji Sect because Master was jealous and threatened and persecuted by him."

Having said that, Zhao Xinchuan looked at Zhou Xiyu, his eyes seemed to be seeking confirmation.

Zhou Xiyu just nodded but didn't say much.

Zhao Xinchuan sighed and said, "After I left Peking, I went to Hangzhou. I thought that with my kung fu skills, any martial arts school would hire me with a large sum of money. Unexpectedly, my master was ruthless and issued a statement in Peking, saying that he expelled me from the school. So no martial arts school dared to hire me again."

"I thought I could make a living, but I ended up being in poverty for a long time. Luckily, I got a job as a physical education teacher at a primary school in Hangzhou through a relative some time ago. But teaching little kids all day was boring, so I went to the West Lake to practice boxing to relieve my stress. That's when I met Mr. Cui and learned about you, my uncle."

Zhou Xiyu comforted him, "In that case, forget the past and live a good life in Hangzhou."

Fang Muye said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Peng Qianwu will not let Brother Xinchuan go easily, and may even murder him."

Zhao Xinchuan asked in disbelief, "Impossible, I'm no longer in the martial arts world. No matter what my master does, he can't take my life."

Zhou Xiyu couldn't help but say, "No matter what, Xinchuan is Senior Brother's direct disciple, so he shouldn't be so cruel."

Actually, in the movie, Peng Qianwu defeated Zhao Xinchuan at the basketball court of Hangzhou Primary School and was about to leave. However, Zhao Xinchuan was arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat. He wanted to get back at Zhao Xinchuan and revealed the Nine Dragons Combination that he had secretly learned. As a result, he was ambushed and killed by the jealous and resentful Peng Qianwu.

If only Zhao Xinchuan could be patient a little longer, maybe he would be at ease in the future.

But a person's character is not so easy to change.

Fang Muye glanced at Zhao Xinchuan, then looked at Zhou Xiyu, and said, "Peng Qianwu is narrow-minded and jealous of talented people. I'm sure you understand this."

Zhou Xiyu nodded.

Fang Muye continued, "Mr. Peng Xiaowen was a man of high spirits. He accepted many disciples throughout his life. When he was dying, he was willing to teach the Ape Fighting Technique to a person of an outsider like you. This shows that in his heart, he did not have the concept of 'the Peng family's things should not be passed on to outsiders'. It was just that Peng Qianwu was selfish and greedy. He wanted to turn the Peng family's unique skills into private property. He did not want outsiders to emerge, so as to prevent the Tai Chi Sect from being passed on to other people."

"Brother Xinchuan is very skilled in martial arts, so Peng Qianwu is wary of him. He is worried that if he continues to stay in Taiji Sect, the younger generation of the Peng family will not be able to win the support of the public. Although Brother Xinchuan has left now, if he still has the Peng family's unique skills, Peng Qianwu will definitely not let it go."

Zhou Xiyu's eyes were dazed, and he spoke slowly, "The Peng family's unique martial art is the Ape Strike Technique. My master only passed it on to me before he died. That's why my senior brothers were jealous of me and I killed my fellow disciples. I had no choice but to leave, but I took the Ape Strike Technique with me. Since then, the Peng family has only Tai Chi left."

What he meant was that the Peng family no longer had anything that could be called a unique skill.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xinchuan's expression became solemn. He said in a deep voice: "No, the Peng family has another unique skill!"
