The Prodigal Son of Condor Heroes: Li Mochou Wants to Pay for Himself

The next morning, the sun shone through the leaves onto the grass in front of the cave. Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.

He stretched himself, moved his body around, and felt refreshed.

Walking out of the cave, the fresh air hit his face, making him feel happy.

Thinking of what happened last night, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh that his apprentice Yang Guo was really smart!

Last night, when Yang Guo saw that Hong Qigong was going to teach Ye Fan martial arts, he left on his own accord, leaving the two of them some space to be alone.

Later, Yang Guo found a cave, which seemed a bit damp and dark, but fortunately it was spacious enough to accommodate several people.

He immediately got busy. First, he cleared away all the rocks and weeds in the cave. Then he looked around for hay and spread it on the ground to make three simple but practical beds.

He also took special care to smooth out the hay to make the bed more comfortable.

After making the bed, Yang Guo stood guard at the entrance of the cave and dozed off.

When Hong Qigong and Ye Fan arrived, he led them both into the cave.

Seeing how seriously and meticulously Yang Guo worked, Hong Qigong couldn't help but praise him, "You are a really good kid, you are thoughtful and considerate. If you need any help in the future, just come to me, Old Beggar."

Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but recall a plot in the original novel: after the murderous Li Mochou snatched away the infant Guo Xiang, she only spent one night with Yang Guo in the cave, and was taken care of by Yang Guo so meticulously that she gave up her murderous intention.

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly heard Hong Qigong laughing heartily: "This Thirteen Spices is really useful. I didn't expect that you, a kid, have such a treasure! The ancestor didn't want your things for nothing, so I will teach you a set of 'Xiao Yao You' boxing skills."

Ye Fan looked up and saw Hong Qigong leaping up, his wide sleeves dancing in the wind, his figure light and agile, as if he was flying freely like a bird.

On the other side, Yang Guo silently memorized every move demonstrated by Hong Qigong.

By the time Hong Qigong finished a full set of boxing techniques, Yang Guo had already mastered half of them.

Afterwards, with Hong Qigong's patient guidance and instruction, in less than half an hour, Yang Guo learned the 36-style "Xiao Yao You" boxing technique.

Finally, he and Hong Qigong attacked at the same time. The two stood side by side, one starting from the left and the other from the right. Their movements were like two dancing birds, circling back and forth and echoing each other.

When the thirty-six moves were completed, the two landed steadily on the ground together, smiled at each other, and Ye Fan couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Hong Qigong said to Ye Fan: "Your disciple is quite talented. I never thought that both you and your disciple are so gifted."

Ye Fan was delighted and said to Hong Qigong with a smile: "Uncle Master, you are too kind. Yang Guo is indeed a smart kid."

Hong Qigong laughed and said to Yang Guo, "This 'Xiao Yao You' was taught to me by Senior Sister Lin when I was young. But later it didn't fit my martial arts style, so I never practiced it again. There are still some subtleties in the boxing technique, and you need to slowly comprehend it yourself."

Yang Guo clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, saying, “Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will practice diligently.”

Hong Qigong nodded, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Ye Fan and said, "You are a very powerful master, and you have taught such an outstanding disciple."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "It's all the result of his own hard work."

Hong Qigong nodded slightly and said, "You two, master and disciple, complement each other very well. You will definitely have a place in the martial arts world in the future."

Then, he waved to Ye Fan and said, "Come on, I will teach you the thirty-six moves of the "Dog Beating Stick Technique."

After saying that, Hong Qigong took the lead and walked away a step further, and Ye Fan hurriedly followed.

The two came to a quiet forest. Hong Qigong held a dead branch in his hand and looked at Ye Fan with sharp eyes.

“Although the name of the Dog Beating Stick Technique is vulgar, its variations are subtle and its techniques are wonderful. There are eight techniques in total: tripping, chopping, entangling, poking, picking, leading, sealing, and turning.

The "trip" trick is the foundation of the dog-beating stick technique. It uses the footwork and body movements to attack the opponent's lower body unexpectedly. If the first trip fails, the second trip will follow, and the chain hook and slam is repeated. Although there is only one word "trip", it contains a myriad of changes.

The "chop" technique is a direct and powerful attack method, which uses the front end or side of the stick to chop the opponent. It requires rapid force and accurate hitting of the target, mainly attacking the opponent's head, chest, abdomen and other vital parts.

When the "entangle" technique is used, the bamboo stick is like an extremely tough vine, wrapping around the opponent's weapon or body, making it difficult for the opponent to launch an attack.

The "poke" technique is to quickly stab the opponent with the tip of the bamboo stick, quickly attacking the opponent's weaknesses in close combat.

The "tiao" technique is to lift the stick upwards and attack the opponent's chin and crotch. It requires good control of strength and angle to achieve the best attack effect.

The trick of "lead" is to guide the opponent's attack direction and expose his flaws through keen insight, clever movements and techniques.

The "sealing" technique is to use the stick to block or block the opponent's attack and protect your body. It requires good defensive awareness and accurate judgment to effectively resist the opponent's attack.

The "Turn" technique makes the enemy follow you. The bamboo stick turns into a green shadow and fiercely hits the enemy's back "Qiangjian", "Fengfu", "Dazhui", "Lingtai", "Xuanshu" and other important acupoints. These acupoints are all in the center of the spine. If they are hit by the stick, they will either die or be injured. "

Ye Fan heard this and felt that it was impressive. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, uncle-master!"

Hong Qigong smiled slightly and began to explain the first stick technique: "This first stick technique is called 'Stick to Beat Two Dogs', which is to use the changes of stick techniques to attack the left and right sides of the enemy."

As he spoke, Hong Qigong brandished the Dog Beating Stick. His figure was as erratic as a ghost, and his stick techniques were so varied that they were dazzling.

Ye Fan widened his eyes and observed Hong Qigong's movements carefully.

"Did you see it clearly?" Hong Qigong stopped and asked.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Master uncle, I see it clearly."

"Okay, then try to practice it." Hong Qigong handed the dog-beating stick to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took the dog-beating stick, took a deep breath, and began to practice the first set of stick techniques according to Hong Qigong's demonstration. Although his movements were a little unfamiliar, they were somewhat similar.

Hong Qigong watched from the side, pointing out Ye Fan's shortcomings from time to time: "Pay attention to the rhythm of the stick method, it should be fast but not chaotic."

Ye Fan listened to Hong Qigong's instructions and constantly adjusted his movements. Gradually, his stick skills became more and more proficient.

"Not bad, not bad." Hong Qigong nodded with satisfaction, "Next, we will learn the second stick technique, 'Stick to Hit the Dog's Head'."

Hong Qigong waved the Dog Beating Stick again and demonstrated the second set of stick techniques.

This style of stick technique is more powerful, and the tip of the stick hits the enemy's head directly.

Ye Fan studied seriously and practiced over and over again.

Under the careful guidance of Hong Qigong, he gradually mastered the essence of the Thirty-Six Moves of the Dog Beating Stick Technique.

After another half day of hard practice, Ye Fan's dog-beating stick technique had made great progress.

Hong Qigong looked at Ye Fan's performance and felt very pleased. He couldn't help but admonish him:

"Young man Ye, you have practiced the Dog Beating Stick Technique quite well. But remember, the essence of stick techniques lies in their flexible use, and you cannot be bound by the moves."

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Master Uncle, I understand."

"Okay, then you continue practicing. I'm a little hungry, let me go get some food from Yang."

After Hong Qigong finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he heard a loud shout: "Hey, you are very good at martial arts, what's your name?"
