Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 30
Old man Tian thought about it, and planned to open a gymnasium to teach martial arts while he still hadn't forgotten those routines.The folk customs in Pingyuan County are aggressive, and all of them are martial arts.Old man Tian was well-known in the local area in his early years, so many people came to learn boxing from him.Rich people, send some money.If money is tight, bring some rice noodles.With this income and the help from the neighbors, Old Man Tian and the melon will not suffer from hunger.

Cantaloupe was still young at that time, and she always saw someone in the family dancing with a gun. She thought it was interesting, so she secretly followed behind, playing tricks and half tricks.Old man Tian saw that Xianggua was learning well, and he was very happy in his heart.She thought that if she had a skill, she wouldn't be afraid of being bullied when she was gone.So, let Xianggua also learn boxing from those brothers.

Don't look at Xianggua's carelessness, but he is unambiguous when learning martial arts.Apart from routines, muskmelon is not good at swords, but likes to throw stones.After a few years, not only his fists and kicks have improved, but the stone throwing is as accurate as an expert shooting a hidden weapon.With a flick of the hand, the cicada lying on the tall tree several feet tall fell to the ground.I dare not say that every shot hits a hundred hits, but out of ten hits, at least seven or eight hits can be made.

How about cantaloupe, let alone press it.Let's just say that among the group of people that Old Man Tian took in, there was an old apprentice who was over [-] years old.This man was called Li Changshui, and he was from Lizhuang, a neighbor of the village.

Although Li Changshui is older, he has a violent nature.That bull's temper is offended, and he can't lose to the stupefied boy.However, although Li Changshui was reckless, he was respectful to old man Tian.And he is upright, daring to love and hate, the old man in that field also appreciates him very much.In those days, there were many Catholic churches opened by foreign devils in Shandong, and many local congregants were accepted.Those congregants do not have any beliefs, but want to rely on the protection of foreigners to do evil.The common people hated them deeply and called them "ermaozi" in private.

In Li Changshui Village, there is such a "two-haired" bully.The man's name was Li Jinbang, and he was a big family member in the village.But this Li Jinbang is just rich and unkind.He used the influence of foreign devils to bully men and women, and the fish and meat village.

Once when Li Jinbang was doing evil, Li Changshui happened to see him.When Li Changshui saw it, his anger rose from his heart, he started to punch Li Jinbang, and beat up Li Jinbang.After punishing Er Maozi, Li Changshui was still not relieved, so he simply gathered a group of villagers, took a picket and a sickle, went straight to the church that supported the bully, smashed it, and drove away the foreign devils and missionaries.

In this way, things will become big.When the county magistrate of Pingyuan heard that foreigners had been beaten and the church was smashed, he hurriedly ordered his horse to arrest him, and rushed to Gangzi Lizhuang to arrest them.But Li Changshui committed a crime and vowed to resist the officer to the end.In the end, with a few mud-legged villagers, they actually beat the group of county government arresters back quickly.

When the magistrate saw it, he hurriedly asked the governor to send troops to suppress it.When the governor heard that there were riots from the people, he panicked, and hurriedly mobilized the two battalions of troops to encircle and suppress.Because Old Man Tian taught Li Changshui Kungfu, he was also listed on the encirclement and suppression list by the officers and soldiers.

When the news came, Li Changshui was shocked.On the one hand, he sent the villagers to Changqing County to invite Zhu Hongdeng, and on the other hand, he went to inform Old Man Tian himself.

This red lantern from Changqing County is exactly the leader of Shandong Yihequan.As soon as he heard the news, he immediately rushed to Gangzi Li Village with hundreds of boxers in the starry night.When Zhu Hongdeng entered the village, Li Changshui had already brought Old Man Tian and Xianggua to his home.

After a few people met, they began to discuss.Old man Tian didn't want to join the gang at first, but he couldn't stand Li Changshui, Zhu Hongdeng and others trying to persuade him.

Old man Tian thought to himself: because he had taught Li Changshui boxing skills, he was also included in the scope of arrest by the government.This time the incident was a big one, if he was caught, he would have to be executed according to the crime of sitting down.I am buried up to my neck, so I am not afraid of death.But even if she is afraid that her granddaughter Xianggua will be implicated and lose her life.

It is death to be captured with nothing but to sit and wait for death, but it is also death to fight against officials and beat foreign captives hard.Anyway, it's death anyway, it's better to die vigorously, it's not in vain to come to this world!
So old man Tian gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, made up his mind, and joined Boxing with muskmelon.

Old man Tian is over sixty years old, but he is full of abilities.In particular, a broad-backed broadsword made him look like a tiger.Coupled with the fact that he had accumulated a lot of experience in the world as a dart player in his early years, it would be like adding wings to a tiger with him in Boxing of Boxing.

Seeing that the old man Tian agreed, both Zhu and Li were overjoyed. They hurriedly cut off the chicken head, burned the yellow paper, knocked their heads on the ground, and concluded the righteousness of Jinlan.

After joining the group, several people commanded their subordinates to dig trenches and set up defenses, just waiting to fight the officer and soldier to the death.

Not long after, some boxers came to report, saying that the officers and soldiers had appeared in the Senluo Hall in Zhuangxi.Hearing that the horses had arrived, several people knew that the army would arrive here within half an hour.

Seeing the ferocious approach of the officers and soldiers, Zhu, Li and others decided to take advantage of their fatigue from the distance and kill them by surprise.So, point out the uprising and punch hundreds of dead soldiers, use their weapons, and rush directly to Zhuangkou to resist the enemy.

Waiting for the two armies to confront each other, the Boxers of Yihe brandished their guns and clubs and rushed towards the official army.When the officers and soldiers saw it, they hurriedly parried.Both sides did not call out, people shouted horses, swords and guns exchanged, and the generals were killed in one place.

Old man Tian has seen a lot, so he is not afraid of this bloody scene.He wielded a broad-backed broadsword, chopping one at a time, like chopping melons and vegetables, rampaging through the officers and soldiers, killing the officers and soldiers crying for their fathers and mothers.

Tian Xianggua was too young and was left behind by the fighters.At the beginning, Cantaloupe was a little scared.But as the battle lasted for a long time, the melon became more courageous, grabbed stones and clods from the ground, and kept throwing them at the officers and soldiers...

This battle lasted from noon to dark.Although the hundreds of boxers were heroic, they were "mud legs" who had just thrown away their hoes and farm tools. After a long fight, they became weak and lost the wind.

Seeing that the fighters were about to lose, Zhu Hongdeng was also secretly worried.Seeing that the officers and soldiers and backup have arrived, head-to-head is not the way to go.Therefore, he decided to compromise, cut hundreds of boxers into pieces, and retreated to a safe place first, taking advantage of the darkness and familiarity with the road, so as to avoid losing troops and generals.

Zhu Hongdeng ordered Li Changshui to lead a group of boxers, Old Man Tian and Xianggua also led a group of boxers, split into two directions, and retreat first.He himself led the rest of the people, keeping the rear.

When the two teams of Li and Tian left without a trace, Zhu Hongdeng fought and retreated.Seeing that he was about to escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers, Zhu Hongdeng was shot under the horse by a cold arrow.Seeing that Zhu Hongdeng was injured, the boxers immediately went into chaos, causing the officers and soldiers who came to beat them to pieces.

The officers and soldiers rushed forward, tied up the red lanterns, and sent them directly to Jinan.Seeing that the "bandit leader" has been captured, Governor Yuxian wanted to make an example of others.Therefore, even without a trial, Zhu Hongdeng and others were directly decapitated, and the order was outside the city gate.

Let's talk about old man Tian, ​​Xianggua and his party, after they escaped from Pingyuan County, they lost contact with Nazhu and Li.After several days in a row, I learned the sad news that Zhu Hongdeng's soldiers were defeated and beheaded.

After receiving the letter, Old Man Tian burst into mourning.He wanted to attack Zhou Pofu to avenge Zhu Hongdeng, but he was short of soldiers and could not resist.Coupled with the officers and soldiers rounding up Boxers in every possible way, Old Man Tian had no choice but to flee here and there with the remnants of his troops.

During the battle, Old Man Tian took in some poor brothers.After that, under the support of everyone, he opened the mouth of the magic boxing altar and became a "big brother".

Later, when people said that Cao Futian, Zhang Decheng and others had set up a general altar with the word "Kan" in Tianjin Wei, Old Man Tian planned to take his brothers to join him.

There is a saying that everyone gathers firewood and the fire is high. As more and more people join in, the name of Boxing Boxing in Shandong and Zhili is getting bigger and bigger.Even the local government did not dare to contend with it easily.

After stabilizing their feet in Tianjin, Old Man Tian and Xianggua were finally able to take a breather.In Yihequan, there are many "Zhaotan" set up by women.For example, the "black lantern photos" composed of widows and orphans, and the "flower lantern photos" composed of prostitute fans.These women, no matter they are young or old, can carry swords into battle.In the eyes of thousands of fighters, Zhaotan is also well-known.

Among these "photo altars", the most famous one is the "red light photo".The leader of the "Red Lantern Lighting" is called Lin Heier, the "Mother of the Yellow Lotus".This Lin Hei'er may not look like a Jienu style, but she is proficient in swords and horses, and is good at martial arts, especially in concealed weapons.

They are both in the boxing school, so they inevitably have the opportunity to meet each other.By chance, Lin Heier met Old Man Tian and Xianggua.After talking about it several times, Lin Hei'er liked the melon very much.At that time, Cantaloupe had already gone through dozens of battles, big and small. Except for its naughty nature and love to cry, everything else was quite similar.

Not only that, Lin Heier was amazed by Cantaloupe's unique skill of "hitting stones".Later, Xianggua simply recognized Lin Hei'er as her godmother, and Lin Hei'er taught her dart skills.But when the stones were replaced with darts, the cantaloupe didn't feel right.You throw it back and forth, but you can't hit the target.A few times, he almost stabbed Lin Heier who was standing next to the target.

Lin Hei'er was also puzzled when she saw the huge difference between before and after the cantaloupe.After thinking about it, she found the crux of the problem.It turns out that the muskmelon throwing stones must be held firmly in the palm of the hand, and when the stones are thrown, more arms and shoulders are used; while for darts, most of the darts are first clamped with two fingers. , and then exerted skillful force on his wrist, raised his hand and threw the dart.Cantaloupe is used to brute force, and he can't control the subtle force, so naturally he can't shoot the dart.

Thinking of this, Lin Heier suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned back to the house, rummaged through the box, and found an exquisite thing.
