Chapter 34: Chen Jiagou (2)
"Yes, it's quite eye-catching, this word is written by Chen Bu, the first generation ancestor of our Chenjiagou, and it has been here for hundreds of years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" A man who looked like an old farmer heard Chu Yun's words and spoke.
"The power of this writing is amazing, and I actually saw a trace of the rhythm of the avenue, this calligrapher should be a master above Hua Jin. Chu Yun looked at the three big characters in confusion.
"A little knowledge, our Chen Laozu was once a master of the Three Flowers Gathering. The voice came clearly, and when Chu Yun turned around and asked again, the old farmer had already walked into the village.
"He's a master. Chu Yun said to Sun Ling'er.
"Why can't I see it?" asked Sun Ling'er curiously.
"Think about it, the old farmer has walked so far just now, but the voice still seems to be in our ears, is this something that ordinary people can do?" After Chu Yun finished speaking, Sun Ling'er also nodded.
"This Chen Jiagou is really worthy of its reputation. Chu Yun became excited.
Chu Yun led the carriage and walked inside, Chenjiagou was built in a ravine with a deep ditch running north-south, and there was only one entrance to the village, no wonder the Taiping army could not attack it at all.
At the entrance of the village, a strong gate was built, and people patrolled it.
"Who are you?" Chu Yun led the carriage and walked to him.
"This brother, our husband and wife are from Foshan, Guangdong Province, and we have come here to visit our elders, please let us in. Chu Yun shouted politely.
"What are you looking for?" said three young men from the door.
"I'm looking for my master's old friend Chen Changyou, my master is Huang Qiying, you brothers tell Uncle Chen the name, he will know. Chu Yun said.
"Chen Changyou, Uncle Chen came to attack when Changmao came to attack and unfortunately died in battle, and it has been more than ten years. The leading man shook his head.
"What, Uncle Chen has passed away?" Chu Yun sighed.
"Yes, back then, in order to cover the retreat of the clansmen, Uncle Chen fought against Changmao. Killed dozens of long-haired soldiers, but unfortunately he himself was killed by random arrows with all his strength, he has always been the idol of our Chen family's children, since you are his junior, you wait a minute, I will report to the elders. The leading man asked the two people left behind to take good care of Chu Yun and his wife, and ran in by himself.
It didn't take long for more than a dozen people to walk out of Chenjiagou.
"Are you Uncle Eleven's old friend?" The head of the person was sturdy, with a full face and beard, staring at Chu Yun up and down.
"It's the kid, my master Huang Qiying and Uncle Chen Changyou are old friends, I came to visit Uncle Chen on the order of the family teacher, this is my inside-in-law. Chu Yun said gently.
"I heard that his Tiger and Crane Twin Fist is famous in Guangdong Province, and I am about to see it. The big man grinned, looking excited.
"Brother Seventeen, how can there be a reason for the guests to compete first, let's go first. A stocky man in the back pulled his beard.
"That's right, my brain, I'm Chen Zhongxing, Uncle Chen's cousin, this is my younger brother Chen Zhongliang, and the others are our juniors, so I won't introduce them, let's go in." Chen Zhongxing took Chu Yun's hand and walked inside.
Entering the gate, Chu Yun looked up and saw that the houses in Chenjiagou were all built against the mountain, scattered on both sides of the ravine, and in the middle was a blue brick main road, most of the people in the village were busy, a good farm scene.
"Brother Chu, you are an outsider, when you come to our Chenjiagou, you will first take you to meet the patriarch, and then the patriarch will arrange a place for you to live, but you can rest assured that I will let the patriarch arrange you in my house. Chen Zhongxing looked rude, but he was actually quite careful, while telling Chu Yun about the customs of Chen Jiagou.
Walking in a hundred and ten steps, Chu Yun saw a large courtyard appear in front of him, much more luxurious than the other courtyards Chu Yun saw, with two stone lions placed in front of the big red door.
"Brother Chu, this is the home of our Chen family patriarch, and behind it is our Chen family ancestral hall, when I go to ask the patriarch, I will take you to offer incense to the eleventh uncle. After Chen Zhongxing finished speaking, he walked in.
"It's rude, it turned out to be a senior disciple of Foshan Huang Qiying, and Chen Zhongxin was sorry for not going to greet Your Excellency in advance. An old man with a white beard walked out.
"The head of the Chen family is polite, but our husband and wife are disturbed. Although Chu Yun was a little dissatisfied with Chen Zhongxin for carrying forward the new frame and robbing the old family owner, after all, it was someone's own family matter, and Chu Yun couldn't control it, and Chen Zhongxin was so polite, no matter how Chu Yun was, he couldn't slap his face in the face.
Everyone in the Chen family invited Chu Yun in, and after serving tea, they began to talk about friendship. Chu Yun wanted to challenge Chen Zhongxin on the spot, but because Chen Zhongxin was too enthusiastic to speak, his goal was not achieved, but Chen Zhongxin checked his account and seemed to have to figure out most of his situation. After dealing with the enthusiastic Chen Zhongxin easily, Chu Yun went to incense Chen Changyou, and then left with Chen Zhongxing.
"Brother Chen, is your Tai Chi practice new or old?" Chen Zhongxing arranged the room, and took Chu Yun and his wife out for a stroll with great interest.
"Now that Chen Jiagou is basically practicing a new frame, why are you asking this?" Chen Zhongxing asked vigilantly.
"That's right, my master told me about Uncle Chen Changyou's Tai Chi Kung Fu back then, and I was deeply impressed, boy, I am very curious, because Uncle Chen is practicing the old frame, so I want to see it. Chu Yun's words made Chen Zhongxing unable to find fault, but looking at him with an embarrassed look, there was something unspeakable.
"Brother Chen, forget if you are embarrassed, there is the martial arts arena, where can I go to see?" Chu Yun saw that some young Chen family disciples were practicing martial arts in the martial arts arena, so he changed the topic.
"Okay, let's take a look. Chen Zhongxing really diverted his attention.
Chu Yun came to the martial arts arena, only to see more than 20 Chen family disciples practicing martial arts, some shooting, some standing on stakes, and some fighting, the martial arts atmosphere is very strong, but the highest one is only in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yun can't arouse much interest, but Sun Ling'er saw this scene as if he saw the scene of his Zhenhai Dart Bureau brothers practicing martial arts, and he was full of interest.
"Brother Zhongxing, who are these two, why haven't we seen each other?" The man with the highest realm in the field saw Chen Zhongxing running over.
"Zhongwang, these two are from GD, to meet our thirteenth uncle, the patriarch let them live in my house, this little brother is a disciple of Huang Qiying, a famous family in Guangdong Province. Chen Zhongxing introduced it to everyone, the big family is likely to be like this, a generation difference is dozens of years old, Chen Zhongxin looks like he is in his sixties, this Chen Zhongxing is in his forties, and this Chen Zhongwang is also in his twenties.
"It will take many months for someone from Guangdong Province to come to us, since he is a famous disciple of Guangdong Province, how about we have a discussion?" Chen Zhongwang saw that Chu Yunhe and Sun Ling'er were younger than himself, and he couldn't help but feel comparative.
"Brother Chu, what do you think?" Chen Zhongxing looked at Chu Yun and asked, Chu Yun secretly wondered in his heart, is this the Chen family trying to test himself? Since the first battle in Yingde Jiulong Town, he has been guided by several grandmaster-level figures, and his momentum has been perfectly converged, as long as the masters of the same level do not make a move, it is difficult to see that they are here to touch their own low, Chu Yun smiled and said nothing.
"This big brother, how about I try to compete with you?" Sun Ling'er walked out.
