Human Martial Saint: Starting with Bajiquan

Chapter 117 Big Mouth

Guo Yi was walking towards Fifth Street.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

"My uncle's house is up ahead. No, I can't just walk straight there."

In the original owner's memory, when her grandfather Guo Huan was still alive, the whole family lived together and seemed to be getting along very well.

After my grandfather passed away, although the relationship between the two families was not as harmonious, they still seemed to maintain a semblance of harmony and would visit each other during holidays.

But ever since his father passed away, his uncle and aunt have completely changed their attitude.

At first, they claimed that their father owed them money before his death, and brought a illegible "IOU" with no signature or seal. They came to their door, made a scene, and forcibly demanded repayment.

Seeing that Guo Yi's house didn't have anything valuable, he pretended to be concerned and said that the siblings were having financial difficulties. He suggested that they give the house deed to their uncle for safekeeping and then move to their uncle's house so that they could be taken care of.

These lies were so clumsy that even Guo Yi before his enlightenment was not fooled.

Tom Cruise saw that the siblings couldn't handle it, so he stepped in to protect them and drove the clown away.

From then on, the two sides never had any contact again.

The boy in the past didn't understand the coldness and warmth of human relationships, but Guo Yi now understands it all too well.

After all, in his past life, he had seen countless scenarios where strangers tricked him halfway through while acquaintances got the most out of him.

"I'll take a detour, avoid his house, otherwise I'd feel unlucky if I ran into him!"

Guo Yi took a slightly longer route, and soon arrived at his destination.

It must be said that Bajiquan is indeed a large martial arts school. Even in this slum area, the entrance to the school's branch campus is quite impressive.

The dirt road in front of the door has been compacted, with the middle of the road slightly bulging upwards so that the road surface will not be easily eroded by rainwater.

Therefore, the road surface was completely smooth, without even a puddle, let alone sewage.

Near the gate, there are stone steps.

Above the eaves, a black sign with gold lettering hangs high, bearing the three large characters "Bajiguan".

It was Commander Zhang of Shazhou who raised the banner of rebellion against the rule of the demon race. After the uprising, he established new written regulations for the Great Qian Dynasty.

As luck would have it, the Great Qian script is exactly the same Chinese script that Guo Yi mastered in his previous life.

He had studied demonic script for several years, and when he heard that he was going to learn a new script, he was initially worried. Now, with the awakening of his innate wisdom, it's all taken care of.

save trouble!

By this time, a long queue had already formed in the open space in front of the Bajiquan Hall. Most of them were teenagers from the nearby slums, most of them were not fully clothed, and they were all skinny. Many of them looked like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Seeing their situation, Guo Yi suddenly felt that he wasn't so bad after all, and he gained a little more confidence.

He slowly walked over, obediently joined the end of the line, and waited quietly.

He thought it would take a long time, but the team was cleared much faster than he had imagined.

A cold voice came from inside the gate:

"That's fine, you can stand at the back for now."

"Go back... I told you to get lost, can't you understand human language?!"

"You're in this state, go back and earn some money so you can have a decent meal."

Guo Yi followed the group and walked forward.

Finally, we saw the source of the sound.

A tall, middle-aged man dressed in black was frowning as he pulled up the sleeves of the boys one by one, examining their hands and arms, checking their wrist bones, and kneading their muscles.

Many people screamed in pain as they were pinched.

After screening a few more people, the middle-aged man's face turned almost as black as his clothes.

Clearly, they are dissatisfied.

When it was Guo Yi's turn, he quickly and consciously rolled up his left sleeve and extended his left hand.

The dark-faced middle-aged man held his hand, examined it carefully, and squeezed it, but not with much force.

Then, as if the middle-aged man was exerting force from a distance, Guo Yi felt a special force seeping into his skin, from skin to flesh, from flesh to tendons, and finally to bones, layer by layer, wave by wave, warm and comfortable!

"The legendary test of physical constitution? I didn't scream, could it be that I passed?"

Prior to this, Guo Yi already had some understanding of martial arts.

I've heard that when it comes to martial arts, physical constitution is of utmost importance.

With good physical constitution, progress is rapid.

If one's innate talent is poor, even if one practices diligently, one's achievements will ultimately be limited.

Without innate talent, one cannot truly enter the path of martial arts.

Of course, these were all hearsay; everyone said so, so Guo Yi naturally believed them as well, since they sounded plausible.

After examining the man, the middle-aged man's brow relaxed slightly, and he gave the order:

"Get to the back!"

Guo Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he had passed the first hurdle.

Although he was curious about his own innate talent, he didn't dare to ask now and simply walked quickly to the back to wait.

As a result, a familiar figure in the group unexpectedly greeted him.

"Brother Yi!"

"Hey Pang Da Zui, what are you doing here? Your dad shouldn't be short of money, right?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. You know how stingy my dad is; he's notorious for squeezing every last penny out of me. I had no choice but to sneak in and try my luck. It's free anyway, might as well take advantage of it, what if I succeed?"

With its massive mouth chin held high, it looked smug, as if it were a fool not to take advantage of the situation.

"..."

Guo Yi suddenly realized that his enormous mouth was indeed like his father's.

It turns out that this Big Mouth is the son of Steward Pang in the Yan Family Trading Company. Of course, his real name is not Big Mouth, but he usually likes to gossip, is well-informed, loves to ask questions, and is quick-witted, so everyone calls him that and has long forgotten his original name.

Guo Yi was originally worried about how to find out about Lei Ming's situation without getting close to the merchant guild, since knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

If you can learn martial arts while finding out the truth, you won't have to hold grudges and feel anxious every day.

Yes, Guo Yi is not a passive person. He had no ability or means before, but now that he has some opportunities, he takes the opportunity to think more long-term.

His own opportunity, his sister's safety, and Lei Ming's situation are all things he values ​​now.

Sure enough, Big Mouth never disappointed him; before he could even ask, the other party had already started speaking:

"Lei Ming... because of what happened to you, the boss is very angry. He ordered Guard Lei to discipline his son. Lei Ming's leg was injured by his father, and I heard that he is currently staying with the Blackwater Gang. He doesn't even dare to go home."

"So they really did fight."

Guo Yi was filled with gratitude. He was just an ordinary apprentice, while Guard Lei was a high-ranking martial artist. His master had actually stood up for him.

Although the employer sent Manager Pang to inform me that I had resigned, and that I still had 15 days of unpaid wages from last month, all of this was understandable.

Going back to the trading company on my own is indeed dangerous. It's quite common in this world to not get paid if you don't work a full month.

As he was thinking this, Pang Da's next words aroused new doubts in him.

"You seem to be alright, so why aren't you back at the trading company yet? The boss was looking for my dad yesterday, asking when you'd be back!"

"?"

Something's not right, absolutely not right!

The message relayed by my elder sister, from Butler Pang, the father of the enormous-mouthed man, clearly indicated that he no longer needed to go.

But according to Pang Dazui, his employer was still waiting for him to go back to work yesterday.

In an instant, Guo Yi's mind raced.

He quickly figured out the key points.

The Yan family business usually relies on its retainers and guards, all of whom are martial artists.

Butler Pang was just an ordinary person, so naturally he didn't dare to offend a martial artist like Guardian Lei. That's why he did Guardian Lei a favor and got fired.

Butler Pang is deceiving his superiors and subordinates, so the master should not know anything about it, otherwise he wouldn't have asked about it yesterday.

Seeing that he had another way out, Guo Yi hesitated for a second, wondering if he should just go back to work.

"No, going back is too dangerous. I've already offended the Lei family, and if I expose Steward Pang to their faces, things will only get harder... But since I'm already here, I might as well see if I'm cut out to be a martial artist!"

I thought about many things, but time passed in the blink of an eye.

Guo Yi then answered Pang Da Zui:

"I'm really scared after this beating. I really want to learn some real skills to defend myself, otherwise I'll be in danger if I go back to the trading company and face the Lei family father and son every day!"

"reasonable."
