Chapter 120: 【094】Immortal on the Cliff_5

It is said that the origin was when Yue Fei wanted to enhance the battlefield combat capabilities of his soldiers, he transformed his spear skills into a set of boxing techniques to teach his subordinates, integrating his spear techniques into the boxing set, thus it became ’transforming spear to fist’.

The fist is the spearhead, the intent of the spear is the intent of the fist.

In the preface of "The Study of Xingyi Boxing", Sun Lutang mentioned that Xingyi Boxing was invented by Yue Fei, King Yue Wumu, during the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, because the boxing techniques were not documented in books, they were almost lost in the martial arts world.

It wasn’t until the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty that a highly skilled man from Pudong named Mr. Ji Jike, in the process of searching for a master on Zhongnan Mountain, was taught several manuscripts of Yue Fei’s boxing techniques by an extraordinary person.

In the following years, Mr. Ji diligently practiced and gradually comprehended the mysteries left in Xingyi Boxing by Yue Fei, which he later passed on to Cao Jiwu.

After Cao Jiwu learned Xingyi Boxing, during the Kangxi years he triumphed in martial examinations, later becoming the General of Jingyuan in Shaanxi.

Practicing Xingyi Boxing and concurrently training with the Xingyi spear can yield different experiences and insights into this martial art, which Master Chen once told Wang Longhu while teaching him Dragon and Tiger Xingyi Fist, and Wang Longhu always kept it in mind.

The five forces of the Five Elements Fist of Xingyi Boxing, when applied to the spear, also have an equally marvelous effect, unleashing the true power of the spear techniques.

"It is said that masters skilled in the spear techniques can, from nearly four meters away, stab flies resting on walls with the spear tip. And the divine spear master Li Shuwen can even stab flies resting on glass without breaking the glass,

stab dates growing on trees without the dates cracking. It wasn’t until I started practicing that I realized the difficulty involved; I’m afraid Li Shuwen’s level has likely incorporated the soft power of Dark Force into the spear shaft." Wang Longhu thought secretly.

"Brother Hu, I’ve picked up your things from the warehouse." Outside the courtyard, Zheng Dongliang slowly came in holding a pile of items.

Every herbal picker’s helper who passes the exam and is allowed into the mountain is provided by the factory with a set of essential equipment.

Such as mixed workwear made of triple-layered nylon leather, specially made long boots that can prevent snakes and insects from hurting the skin.

Also, mosquito-proof masks to prevent bugs from getting into delicate areas like the nostrils, eyes, and ears.

In addition, survival tools for the wild, including military shovels, compressed biscuits, aluminum water bottles, and sleeping bags, are indispensable to extend the time the herbal pickers can stay in the deep mountains.

After all, those who can hunt and eat wild animals in the primeval forest are still very few, and they are considered super tough guys.

"Brother Hu, this is the topographical map we’ve explored over the years at the factory. Some places no longer have resources, and those that do are quite dangerous and have not yet been fully explored. Take a good look."

Zheng Dongliang struggled to take a map out of his pocket and handed it to Wang Longhu, who took it and opened it, seeing that it indeed recorded numerous mountain topography maps.

Some areas marked in yellow indicate resources are nearly exhausted, while red areas signify zones still rich in resources.

And further away, the blue region is an unknown zone where no one has ever ventured; it’s hundreds of kilometers from the factory, and if something happened, nobody would know how you perished.

"Alright, thank you." Wang Longhu took his belongings from Zheng Dongliang with one foot lifting the iron spear on the ground.

Instantly, the iron spear, weighing over 60 pounds, flew up and landed on Wang Longhu’s shoulder, which he effortlessly held.

"Brother Hu, now that you’ve passed the exam, when are you planning to enter the mountains?" Zheng Dongliang hurriedly caught up and asked curiously.

"No time like the present, seize the day, let’s go today."

"What? That’s too impatient. I’ve never seen any helper enter the mountains without first going to Mazu Temple to light incense and pray for safety. You should come with me to town for a blessing first." Zheng Dongliang expressed his idea.

Having stayed at the factory for a few days, the poor internet connection and lack of young ladies had long made this rich second-generation restless.

Taking this opportunity, he hoped to coax Wang Longhu into a trip outside, where he could enjoy himself and have the protection of Wang Longhu as a bodyguard, achieving two goals with one move.

"No need, for a martial artist relies on themselves, deities are ultimately just psychological comfort. Going to town is too much of a waste of time. Today I enter the mountains, and by the time I return, the items you’ve custom-made for me should have arrived, and I’ll be able to use them."

Ascending the stairs, entering his single dormitory, Wang Longhu put down his things, and with a serious tone, patted Zheng Dongliang’s shoulder to advise: "The most important thing for a martial artist is to endure loneliness, if your mind is not pure, full of distractions, you’ll never excel in martial arts. I ask you, how have you been doing with the horse stance I asked you to practice before?"

"Eh... heh heh, heh heh." A bit embarrassed, Zheng Dongliang scratched his ear when Wang Longhu’s words exposed the truth.

Seeing his reaction, Wang Longhu knew this kid truly just had a flash of interest and probably didn’t even practice once after returning home.

"Enough, your family has the money, indeed no need to waste time doing this hard work. I’ll go first into the mountains to gather herbs, you should not leave the factory during these days, if you get kidnapped again I might not be able to save you."

Wang Longhu quickly changed into the special work gear and boots Zheng Dongliang got for him, put all the tools like the military shovel, compressed biscuits, and water bottle into his backpack, and then carrying his spear, walked out of the room.

At this moment, Wang Longhu felt an indescribable excitement and thrill inside.

The true primeval forest! He was about to live deep within it for three or four days, a challenge not many in the world dared to undertake.

"Hey, Brother Hu, Brother Hu, I will practice, I really want to practice!" Zheng Dongliang dashed out of the room, loudly declaring his resolve.

But just a few seconds late, when he stepped out, he could no longer see Wang Longhu’s shadow.

"Horse stance, 20 minutes... Damn, it’s boring in this mountain, with Brother Hu gone, I’m scared to leave the mountain, seems I can only use this method to pass the time in these days." Zheng Dongliang sighed, walked back into the room, and began to squat down in a horse stance based on what he found online.
