A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 654: Leave you some thoughts! (Please order in full!)

Zou Rong said that he would give an explanation to Chen Shi today, and Zheng Shanao said that he would give justice, but what he was waiting for today was to ask him to leave Jinmen and never set foot in it again. Wouldn't it be that all the years and hard work he had spent as a disciple were worth it? All in vain.

The apprentice was gone, and the fame and opening of the restaurant were in vain. Chen Shi couldn't accept it, blood filled his pupils, and he looked like a wild beast, roaring:

"Why!"

Hua Twelve chuckled and was about to speak when his face suddenly darkened. To his left and right, Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong shouted at the same time:
"Bold!"

"Duan Rui, what are you doing!"

The follower who was holding the knife for Adjutant Lin pulled out a box cannon and pointed it at Hua Twelve with a ferocious expression.

Zou Rong said with a cold face: "Think carefully, if you dare to shoot, you won't be able to get out of here today!"

Zheng Shanao's face turned red: "You are Lao Duan's son. Your father has served me for 30 years. With this love, even though you have betrayed your master, as long as you put down your gun now, I will give you a way to survive!"

Duan Rui's hand holding the gun began to tremble. He originally lacked the courage to risk his life. Otherwise, he would have drawn the gun when his master, Adjutant Lin, died, and he would not have waited until now.

Chen Shi looked at it coldly, his eyes flickering. If Duan Rui beat Hua Twelve to death, that would be the result he most wanted to see.

Zheng Shanao said angrily again: "Duan Rui put down the gun!"

Duan Rui's hands shook even more, and the muzzle of the gun swayed even more, but this was also more terrifying. He shouted hysterically:

"He, he ruined my future!"

Duan Rui was naturally talking about Hua Twelve's killing of Adjutant Lin. Without Adjutant Lin's support, he would be nothing in the army. In fact, what he didn't know was that the commanders behind Adjutant Lin who he regarded as his backers were all gone. People are also shit.

Hua Twelve smiled coldly: "As long as your master is still alive, ask him if he dares to draw a gun on me?"

After saying that, there was a click, and the armrest of the grand master's chair had been scratched by Hua Twelve. With a flick of his finger, a wooden thorn had been shot into Duan Rui's throat.

The latter fell straight back, his fingers twitched, bang bang, and three gunshots were fired. All the bullets were fired into the empty space, which shocked the surrounding warriors, including Chen Shi, Zheng Shanao, and Zou Rong. In this way, only Hua Twelve and Gong Er, who was standing behind him, showed no signs of fear and no change in their expressions.

Zheng Shanao looked at Hua Twelve with a complicated expression, and the latter also looked at him:

"Fifth Master, people become soft-hearted when they get old, but that doesn't mean they are right. A dog that betrays its owner is an unfamiliar dog. It might bite its owner back at some point. This kind of unkind and unjust beast should not be killed. Do you still want to eat meat for the New Year?”

Zheng Shanao let out a long sigh: "You're right, I'm getting old. I'll take this opportunity today to tell my old friends here about something. I'm going to Brazil by boat in a few days and I won't be coming back. I will grow cocoa for the rest of my life!”

There was a commotion below. Zou Rong and Chen Shi were surprised but also felt that it was reasonable. It was also a way for a martial artist to lose face and withdraw from the world and go far away.

Hua Twelve smiled and held his hands in his hands: "I'm glad to have retired with great success. Congratulations to the Fifth Master!"

He knew that this old man had enough for his whole life and had made a lot of money. Now that he had gone to South America, he could avoid the wars that followed and spend his old age in peace. Compared with another world, the first rat turned against Ma San at both ends and was killed by him in the end. His fate was much better, so his congratulations were sincere.

"Brother Zheng, what will happen to my affairs once you leave? My apprentice is gone, and now your niece-in-law wants to expel me from Jinmen. You must have an explanation for this!"

The person who spoke was naturally Chen Shi. After speaking, he looked at Zou Rong: "Master Zou, Geng Liangchen died on the street. You also said you would give me an explanation. What do you say now?"

Zheng Shanao and Zou Rong both looked at Hua Twelve and wanted to say something. Hua Twelve raised his hand to stop them:

"You two, since you agreed to me sitting in this position today, then my decision today represents the Jinmen martial arts community!"

Zou Rong and Zheng Shanao looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing that they could no longer persuade them.

Hua Twelve looked at Chen Shi: "Be reasonable? Okay, then I'll be reasonable with you!"

"I also understand some of the rules of the Jinmen martial arts world. If a foreign martial artist wants to become famous and open a gym in Jinmen, he or she must kick in eight martial arts gyms in a row. However, he cannot do it himself. He needs to teach a local apprentice to do it. For the seventh family, the gym director will jointly invite a master to defeat this person and expel him from Tianjin, but the Jinmen martial arts community recognizes the record of defeating eight families, and this person’s master can stay and open the gym!”

"In this way, the small boxing style has become famous, and the Jinmen martial arts community has also saved its face. I am right about this rule!"

The Jinmen warriors present all nodded. This was Huo Yuanjia's rule at that time, but in the end, the words to save face were tacitly stated, and this was the first time he said them publicly.

Chen Shi said in a deep voice: "Yes, that's what Brother Zheng told me back then!"

Hua Twelve asked Chen Shi with a smile: "It's true that you do as the Romans do, but how do you masters and disciples do it?"

Chen Shi frowned: "Of course you follow the rules!"

Hua Twelve's smile faded, and he continued: "The rules of Jinmen gymnastics are that if the one who wins the gymnasium wins, the martial arts gym will invite you to a banquet. Your apprentice Geng Liangchen has been studying for a year, and the first one to kick is the Yinghua Martial Arts Gym. It's a big win. I You’re right!”

Chen Shi nodded in recognition: "That's right!"

Hua Twelve said loudly: "Is anyone from Yinghua Martial Arts School here?"

An old man with a flat head in a robe stood up and raised his hands: "Here he is!"

Hua Twelve asked: "Geng Liangchen won, how did you arrange it? Did you follow the rules?"

The old man said angrily: "I booked three good banquets at Dengyinglou to entertain fellow martial arts friends, but Geng Liangchen said it was boring and asked us, people from eighteen martial arts schools, to invite him to drink tea on the roadside. We did it!”

Hua Twelve cupped his hands: "Sit down!"

After the old man sat down, Hua Twelve looked at Chen Shi: "What did you say?"

Chen Shi was a little confused: "What did you say?"

Hua Twelve chuckled and said: "The truth in this world cannot be explained. It is Jinmen's rule that you will lose in Wing Chun in the eighth round, but even if you win, it will be a show of respect for all my colleagues. This is the rule!"

"But after your apprentice won, he showed off in the market. He refused to eat at the banquet at Yinglou, but instead took his colleagues from the [-]th family to drink tea and soup on the open-air street. Everyone knew that he had won a great victory, which brought the face of the Jinmen martial arts community into disrepute. They’re all trampled on the ground, tell me, does this violate Comrade Quan’s original intention?”

There is nothing wrong with Hua Twelve's choice. When Ip Man went to Hong Kong Island to open a martial arts gym, he had to abide by the rules of Hong Kong Island and competed with various martial arts gyms on the round table. Finally, he fought Hong Zhennan before he was allowed to open a martial arts gym and teach apprentices. This The whole process is a closed-door discussion, and no matter whether you win or lose, no word can be spread.

If he hadn't been photographed by reporters and published in newspapers, no one outside the world would have known about Ip Man, just to save face for both parties.

Chen Shi was speechless. He also felt that what Geng Liangchen did was unfair.

Hua Twelve continued: "Your apprentice has done this kind of thing seven times. His death on the street is not unjust at all!" Everyone in the Jinmen martial arts community nodded. Face is more important to martial artists than life. Face Who will come to learn boxing after being stepped on? How can one support his family if no one learns boxing? Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. Geng Liangchen is not unjust!

Hua Twelve's words were sarcastic: "It's the teacher's fault if the apprentice doesn't teach. If the apprentice did something wrong and you didn't point it out, the responsibility lies with you!"

Although Chen Shi was wrong, he still frowned and said: "But there is no rule. Who stipulates that after winning the battle, you can't drink tea soup on the street!"

Hua Twelve nodded, stood up and took two steps forward:
"Although it is tacitly understood, there is no explanation after all. I guess what you said makes sense. In this way, your apprentice will fight seven games, and you will come to the eighth game. Don't say you beat me. As long as you can make me take half a step back today, you will win." , how about the Jinmen martial arts community let you open a gym and become famous?"

Chen Shi's eyes were twitching, and he was a little moved: "You are not from the Jinmen martial arts world, so you can keep your word?"

Hua Twelve cupped his fists and said, "Everyone, please give me a message!"

The colleagues in the Jinmen martial arts community who were present stood up and clasped their fists in return. The old man from the Yinghua Martial Arts School said: "Mr. Zheng and Master Zou have recommended that you come out to take charge. We will obey your orders!"

"Okay, thank you all for your kindness, please sit down!"

Chen Shi hadn't made up his mind yet, but he was already tempted by his expression.

Zheng Shanao sighed and said: "Brother Chen, look at my traitor on the ground. He has touched the threshold of Huajin and is still wearing armor. But what will be the result? My niece-in-law doesn't resist. Just for a moment, his father-in-law's palace monkey comes. , that’s it, you go back to the south!”

Chen Shi had a struggling look in his eyes:
"Although Wing Chun is a small style of boxing, there are also great talents. There is a branch of Chen Hua Shun in Foshan, and his apprentice Ip Man is a great talent. I can't get ahead without him, so I came to Jinmen. I don't want to be so dejected." go back!"

He seemed to be saying this to Zheng Shanao, but also to himself. After he finished speaking, his eyes changed from struggling to firmness. Hua Twelve knew that he had made a decision, and he raised his fingers:
"bring it on!"

Chen Shi took two steps forward and said, "I've thought about it. You can pierce armor with Baotou's wooden spear and bayonet. I'm not as strong as you. I'll definitely lose in a fight with fists and feet!"

Hua Twelve asked with great interest: "Then you want to compete with weapons?"

Chen Shi did not refute and continued:

"I heard that holding a knife and rubbing your hands was popular in Tianjin more than ten years ago. By coincidence, my Wing Chun also has the Eight-Zhan Dao similar to it, so let's compare it to this!"

After saying that, he lifted up his suit and pulled out two eight-pole swords from his waist.

Holding a knife and rubbing your hands is similar to Push Hands in Tai Chi, but you hold short knives in both hands, and the cuts are all on the tendons, hamstrings, and arteries everywhere. It is a hundred times more dangerous than Push Hands. To put it bluntly, both parties are holding double knives and fighting at close range.

Chen Shi had his own plan. He was not as powerful as his opponent with fists and kicks, but his sharp weapons could make up for his lack of strength. He was now betting that Hua Twelve's skills were not as good as his.

Zheng Shanao wanted to persuade him again, but he heard Hua Twelve say: "Okay!" Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, he sighed, but in the end he could not say his words of advice.

Hua Twelve turned to look at Zou Rong: "Do you have a pair of swords?"

Zou Rong personally went to hold a knife box and came out. After opening it, there were two short knives that were an inch shorter than the Eight-Zhan Dao: "This is what your uncle left, you can see if it is suitable for use!"

Zheng Shanao looked at the things and thought about them: "My old brother Han, he was so good at holding a knife and rubbing his hands with these two short weapons!"

Hua Twelve picked up the two swords and nodded to Zou Rong, then turned around and walked to stand one foot in front of Chen Shi: "Come on, use whatever skills you have, don't regret it when you lose!"

Zou Rong retreated to the back without sitting down. Her nephew was fighting with others, which made her feel uneasy. Seeing her nephew's wife's face being calm, she was a little unhappy:
"Aren't you worried about Xiaodouzi competing with others?"

Gong Er smiled faintly: "Don't worry, aunt, I haven't conquered anyone in Baguazhang with two swords. His swords are more powerful than my father!"

With one sentence, Zou Rong's eyes lit up and her heart became determined.

Chen Shi protected himself with two swords, bowed like a shrimp, and his power passed through his legs, waist, and spine, and finally concentrated on his hands: "Be careful!"

"coming!"

Chen Shi stretched out his two knives and placed them at the same position as Hua Twelve's. He pushed forward with his left hand suddenly, the blade of the knife went straight to his throat, and with his back hand, he moved downwards and slashed towards Hua Twelve's femoral artery.

Hua Twelve's pair of knives stuck to Chen Shi's pair of knives and walked away. He moved his feet and turned his hands suddenly. Chen Shi's two knives were instantly released, one to the left and one to the right. He shot them out separately. He made two sounds, one shot on the door frame and the other on the pillar. On top, the handle of the knife trembled and buzzed.

Before even finishing a move, Hua Twelve's two swords crossed each other and were already on Chen Shi's neck.

Zheng Shan Ao was afraid that Hua Twelve would kill Duan Rui like he did before, so he quickly said: "My niece-in-law keeps his hand. If he stays in Jinmen, I am afraid that people in the Jinmen martial arts community will laugh at him, so let him go back south!"

"Okay, let me give you some face, Mr. Wu!"

Hua Twelve's pair of swords left Chen Shi's neck. Just as the latter was breathing a sigh of relief, the sword light flashed. Chen Shi covered his right wrist with a cry, but the tendon of his hand was severed by the former's sword.

He looked at Chen Shi with hatred in his eyes.

Hua Twelve put away his two swords and handed them to Zou Rong who came over. Then he said lightly:
"After three years of training as an apprentice, you taught me to become a great boxer in just one year. All you taught was fighting techniques, and you didn't teach any health-building things. Geng Liangchen was encouraged by you. Even if he beat eight families, he still hurt his roots. You This man has a vicious mind, I can spare your life, but I have to give you some thoughts!"

"it is good!"

The owner of the Yinghua Martial Arts School stood up and shouted "Hello" and took the lead in applauding. The owners of the other [-] martial arts schools also stood up and applauded, cheering for what Hua Twelve said today.

Zheng Shanao sighed; "At such a young age, he has the bearing of a master, and Gong Monkey has someone to succeed him!"

Chen Shi left, taking his woman with him, and returned to the south incognito. Zheng Shanao sent him to the car. Before getting in the car, he swore not to mention the knife again.

The Jinmen martial arts community wanted to make Hua Twelve famous, but he refused and said with a smile:
"My name is in Liyuan, not in the martial arts world!"

A few days later, Cheng Dieyi and Boss Cheng performed in Tianjin. It was packed with guests and it was hard to get a ticket. Major newspapers in Tianjin rushed to report on it.

It was only then that Zou Rong realized how easy it was for her nephew to learn opera. It turned out that he was the famous Cheng Dieyi, who was famous in Beijing and Tianjin.

The income from one session was more than what she earned in one year of opening a martial arts gym. Those dignitaries and dignitaries were rushing to ask for tickets. They were so popular that she felt that the entertainment industry was indeed easier to work with than the martial arts industry.

After the performance, Zheng Shanao also left and took a Belarusian woman by boat to Brazil. True to his word, he actually went to South America to plant cocoa. Before leaving, he gave Hua Twelve a book of Baguazhang boxing manual. The latter has no use for this Cheng Pai Bagua secret book, but it can be given to Gong Er for study.

A few days later, Douziniang and Xiangyun stayed in Jinmen, saying they wanted to stay for a while longer. Hua Twelve and Gong Er set off to return to the capital. The day they agreed to lead Duan Xiaolou to debut was coming soon, and if they didn't go back, it would be too late.
