late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage, took four lieutenants Goshha, and rushed into the Guandi Temple, wanting to see something new, but two big men with white towels at the gate blocked them with their hands and shouted: "Master Jun, I want to go in." It seems that you have to pay for the incense, this is the Guandi Temple!"

Yihequan is a semi-public nature among the people. It is very mysterious when it is preached. The martial arts taught make people invulnerable. .

Li Guolou pursed his lips, and Ma De, who was beside him, understood it wholeheartedly, took out a bunch of copper coins, and threw them into an incense burner at the door.

"Master, please, don't forget to give more money if you think it looks good." The strong man standing guard at the door did not forget to tease Li Guolou and his party of five.

Li Guolou turned around and looked at the strong man, and said, "I'm a city dweller who has seen juggling on the Tianqiao. People who run horses and sell tricks will only be rewarded if they have a job. People who play monkeys and chestnuts, I just watch Ceng'er."

The two strong men at the door scratched their heads, they didn't understand the Beijing dialect, they looked at each other and shook their heads, and laughed it off. Now that the Boxers of Boxers and the Qing government are living in peace, they are not afraid of the military master to make trouble?No, I dare to ask the military master for the money.

Entering the gate, there is a theater building on the west side. The place illuminated by the red light is placed on the theater building. They are physically strong and wearing a military uniform. The common people are a little afraid of them from the bottom of their hearts, and they crowded to the front row to watch after a while.

The people beating the gongs and drums under the stage, beating the gongs and drums of the harvest, six big-headed dolls shaking their heads, waving cattail fans and bouncing out from behind the stage, began to warm up the stage.

A group of painted rural women with white towels on their heads sang loudly: "When the gongs and drums are beating, brothers and sisters are rarely happy. One Lu is choking, what is dry is good wine, all together is choking, the red light shines on the new year, all one is choking, let's hold hands...

When the harvest is great, we are willing to dedicate everything to the red light. When the harvest is great, we wish to keep it year after year. When the gongs and drums are beaten, it is rare to have a good time. Men, women and children come and dance. , Brothers and sisters all come, come and sing songs, Qi Lu choke, the red light shines on the new year, Qi Lu chokes, what is done is good wine, Qi Lu chokes, the red light shines on the New Year , Qi Gelu choking choking, let's hold hands...

When the harvest is great, we are willing to dedicate everything to the red light. When the harvest is great, we wish to hang the red light high every year...

When the harvest is great, we are willing to dedicate everything to the red light. When the harvest is great, we wish to hang the red light high every year..."

"Oh..." There was constant applause and cheers from the audience. This is the rural Spring Festival performance. Li Guolou put his finger into his mouth and whistled. It sounded quite harmonious, making the audience on the stage Performing Flying Eyes Li Guolou, the kind military master is quite eye-catching.

On a hot day, people would sweat even if they stood still. People on and off the stage were sweating profusely. There was a strong man carrying water, carrying a large bucket of water, shuttled among the crowd, and asked people to take gourds and ladles casually. They scooped up water and drank it by themselves. There were ten such strong men who carried the burden to deliver water for free, so that the people present rushed to drink water and quench their thirst.

Li Guolou did not drink the water in the wooden barrel, but took the copper kettle from Ma Dequan's hand, and drank a few sips of tea water. It caused adverse reactions. As for whether there was any ash in the water, it was just a matter of his imagination.

With the sound of gongs and drums, five heroes in gray and white clothes with towels on their heads walked onto the stage with the bold steps of Guan Yunchang.

The Boxer team of the famous local jar leader "Hua Monk Lu Zhishen" came to the stage. The leaders of the Boxer Boxing, like the heroes in the Water Margin, have their own flower names. Their beliefs embrace national heroes and myths from ancient times to the present. The immortals in the novels and the characters in the novels burn amulets and incense before practicing kung fu, and use a set of mysterious rituals to attract ordinary people to join their organizations.

The leader "Hua Monk Lu Zhishen" is more than 40 years old. He has a solid kung fu. He can split mountains and rocks. He was safe and sound, and a brick was broken by his palm. With a loud roar, the lion roared and the ground shook, and the stage trembled.

Apprentice "Jiuzhilong Shijin" was over 30 years old, bowed his hands to the audience, and towards the direction of Li Guolou and other military masters, he said loudly: "My master Hua Monk Lu Zhishen, his kung fu has reached the level of proficiency, mortals meet him , that is to meet death, to endure death, if the military master has the courage, he can come up and compete."

Boxers of Yihe never take the cowardly and cowardly military master seriously. In their view, the military master is useless without the musket in his hand. The meeting came to seek death, just to show off, so that the people in the surrounding villages would know who is the most powerful king here.

But today "Jiuwenlong Shijin" made a mistake. He met Li Guolou, a military master who is not afraid of hard work. Is he not afraid of hard work?Standing still will only be a hard work of luck, and you will only get beaten.

Li Guolou took a step up from the guards around him, and said in a loud voice: "Hey, Jiuwenlong don't sell melons, you sell melons, you sell melons, you sell melons, and the military master wants to learn the hard work of Monk Hua. Life and death are up to you on the martial arts stage." , do you dare to fight!"

Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin saw a tall and strong military master in the audience, and he was quite surprised to come forward. He wanted to say bold words and have a real swordsmanship contest, and his eyes turned to the master in the middle, "Monk Hua" Lu Zhishen", already felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he opened his mouth but remained silent, not knowing whether he was agreeing to his opponent's challenge, or justifying his reasoning based on the situation in the world.

"Hahahaha." Hua Monk Lu Zhishen looked quite happy, jumped off the stage with a stride, and bowed his hands to Li Guolou, saying, "Who am I? It turns out to be Li Guolou, the famous boxing champion in Tianjin. Mr. Li doesn't care." Go to the orangutan Tarzan to compete with me, and come to the countryside and villages to compete with me! How dare I fight with the officials? Isn't this courting death?"

Being recognized by others, Li Guolou had no choice but to salute his master according to the rules of the Jianghu. It was not the actions of Jianghu people who smashed the scene. The tense atmosphere that was tense just now immediately turned into a touching scene of heroes cherishing each other. , There is a posture of seeing each other and hating it late.

A verbal misunderstanding disappeared in an instant, and Li Guolou and his party had stools to sit on, and became honored guests invited by Yihequan to cheer for Yihequan.

Jiuzhilong Shijin looked at the master master Hua monk Lu Zhishen's nod of approval, and knew that there would be no future troubles. Li Guolou was born in the wilderness, and had close contacts with the underworld and people from the Jianghu in the capital. Knowing things, so Yihe boxing people can safely and boldly display their unique skills, but Li Guolou dare not reveal the mystery.

Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin first clasped his fists in the direction of Li Guolou in the audience to salute, and then waved, the boxers in the audience threw a homemade soil gun on the stage, Jiu Wenlong Shi gestured to the sky with the gun , Loudly said: "Fathers and folks, this gun is loaded with lead bullets, please Master Li send a famous military master to shoot me, and I will show everyone the magic of invulnerability."

"Possessed by magic power, invulnerable to swords and guns, possessed by magic power, invulnerable to swords and guns..." The fanatical people have already started shouting, and their voices are hoarse with excitement.

Li Guolou seemed to have eaten a live fly, and it was really unbearable to hold back, but Yihe Boxers would look at Fengshui and let him be the trustee.

"Master Li, don't worry, I can declare in public that death and injury are not important, life and death are up to God, you don't have to worry too much." Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin looked around the audience, majesticly pointing the handle of the gun at the audience, and the muzzle of the gun Pointing directly at his own chest.

"Horse cake, do yourself a favor and don't look at the gunpowder box." Li Guolou hesitated for a moment, but still gave the order to cooperate.

"Well, I don't believe in any religion now, and behave myself with the attitude of seeking truth from facts." Ma Dequan gained a lot of wisdom after suffering a loss. Under Li Guolou, he was known for his stability and ability. He jumped onto the stage with one stride and picked up the soil I weighed the shotgun in my hand, and it weighed a few catties more than the guns used in the army.

Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin shouted loudly, performed his magical skills, and threw off his shirt, revealing a green dragon tattoo. There are really nine green dragons with fangs and claws. Urgent as ordered, gods and generals possessed me, blah blah blah..."

But seeing Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin squatting on horseback, with luck in his hands, straight to the point, inhaling and concentrating, and shouting, his face became ferocious, from red to purple, then slowly turned blue, from green to the purple of pig liver.

The people in the audience cheered and applauded loudly, and the crazy crowd shouted wildly: "Possessed by magic, invulnerable to swords and guns, possessed by magic, invulnerable to swords and guns..." It seemed that they had also protected themselves with magic skills, so they could not be afraid of foreign guns. Cannons, and some people are hitting their own chests, as if lead bullets are about to hit his chest.

Jiuzhilong Shijin was so suffocated that he could no longer speak, so he pointed to his chest and told Ma Dequan to shoot as soon as possible.

There was a sneer on Ma Dequan's face, and he pulled the trigger, but when he heard a "bang", a puff of smoke rose from the soil gun, which made him choke so hard that he couldn't open his eyes: "Ahhhhh." He coughed desperately.

"Okay..." The audience cheered thunderously, Jiuwenlong Shijin's chest was covered with only a layer of black paint, which slightly covered his beautiful tattoo, and the rest was unscathed.

"Aw..." Jiuwenlong Shijin slapped his chest with both hands, and shook his body, making the people present marvel, who will compete with the unrivaled magical skills.

Li Guolou stood up, clapped his hands and nodded approvingly, and said in a loud voice: "Jiuzhilong is so good, I appreciate it." He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, he can only follow the trend, and will never be a second devil who rebels and forgets his ancestors. No matter in court or among the people, only by following the trend and leading with the current will people support you. If you go against the majority, it will not end well.

A child next to him screamed: "It's fake, I saw Jiuzhilong Shi Jin put gunpowder into the soil gun, and there was no lead bullet in it, Jiuzhilong, shame..."

"Shut up." The child's father hastily covered the child's mouth. The secret in it is related to the life of his family. How many people can be lifted out of poverty by opening the altar of Boxing Boxing, the interests of the gentry and landlords , who dares to touch.

Li Guolou didn't seem to have heard it, and glanced at the children around him for a while, thinking that children's words were unscrupulous, and the false magical skills of the people emerged endlessly, so there was no need to smash other people's jobs.

Lu Zhishen's four other apprentices on the stage, Wu Song the Walker, Li Zhong the Tiger Fighter, Shi Qian the Drum Flea, and Wang Ying the Dwarf Tiger also performed what they had learned in their lives. Decades of prostitution skills, all dragons and tigers are fierce, really energetic, climax after another, won waves of applause, real kung fu mixed with magical skills, people can't tell the truth from the fake, and admire the Yihe boxers in this jar , Be a hero, raise the banner of Liangshan Hua monk Lu Zhishen, don't embarrass the [-] generals, the Liangshan hero descends to the world, and will make a bright and peaceful world, Qingping the world,
