Chapter 446: The Famous Masters

Listening to Zhang Haotian's loud words, a wry smile flashed across Liu Zhongting's face and looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhang, just a year or two ago, I was like you, with the backbone of Chinese people and did not accept the Japanese looking down on us. However, I failed and lost a lot of things. Many things cannot be done by national self-esteem. The lessons bought by blood are too expensive. The White Bird family is not something we can mess with. You are just harassed by them and your life is still there. You are already lucky. You have to do business, try changing territory, or go back to China, where is the place where we Chinese can take root."

Zhang Haotian knew that Liu Zhongting had died many disciples and subordinates in the battle with the White Niao family. These were the hard work he had cultivated for many years. Moreover, Xiao Suo was in this way now, and the "Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall" would have had a great blow to him. He no longer said anything, but opened the suitcase, took out a gift box from it, and handed it to Liu Zhongting with both hands and said: "Master Liu, whether you accept me or not, this is my intention, and I will give it to the hero who dares to compete with the Japanese gang."

Liu Zhongting took it and opened it, but saw that the box contained a golden dragon seven or eight inches long, with very fine workmanship. Unexpectedly, this person took such a generous move. He quickly closed it and handed it back and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have received your wishes, but I will not receive any rewards without merit. I will never accept such a valuable gift."

Zhang Haotian shrank his hand and did not answer, but said solemnly: "Didn't I say that this is for heroes who dare to compete with Japanese gangs. As far as I know, there are not many Chinese gangs in Japan, but the only one who dares to fight with Japanese gangs like the Shiraki family is the Warwick Gang led by Master Liu. Dragon is the spirit and soul of the Chinese people, and only people like you are worthy of it."

Seeing Zhang Haotian insisting on giving the golden dragon to him, Liu Zhongting had to accept it, but said with a look of guilt: "Mr. Zhang, you are right. Dragon is the spirit and soul of the Chinese. Unfortunately, I did not get the invincible dragon power, but instead harmed my disciples and subordinates. I will exchange this golden dragon for money as their compensation."

After accepting the golden dragon, he was embarrassed to let Zhang Haotian leave again, but instead made a "invitation" posture and said, "Mr. Zhang, you must be tired from coming from a distance. Please go to the house for a tea and take a rest."

Zhang Haotian nodded and followed him to the main hall. When he heard the middle-aged man asking Xiaowei to make tea, he looked at Liu Zhongting and said, "Master Liu, this person is..."

Liu Zhongting quickly said, "Oh, this is my third disciple Du Zan. I sent my disciples and subordinates to Tokyo to fight with the Shiraki family, leaving him alone to guard the martial arts hall, so he can still accompany me now."

Zhang Haotian couldn't help but say, "Master Liu, how many people did you send to Tokyo at the beginning? Has everything happened to them?"

Liu Zhongting sighed long and did not answer immediately. He led Zhang Haotian into a hall in the main house, and the guest and host sat on the wooden chair.

When Xiaowei served the dishes, Liu Zhongting looked at Zhang Haotian and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is not a secret. All martial arts schools and gangs know, I will tell you the truth. At the beginning, I didn't accept the arrogance of the Japanese, so I formed a Warwick Gang. All 16 personal disciples participated. In addition, they selected their disciples to join in a total of 160 people. If the Japanese bully the Chinese, they would indeed provide a hand to take care of it. Some Japanese gangs are still afraid of us, and Chinese stores are willing to do so.

I wanted to give us some rewards to help them protect their shops and prevent Japanese gangsters from harassing them. But unexpectedly, when China Sunshine City in Ikebukuro opened last year, they were collectively harassed and demonstrated. They put on banners and asked Chinese people to get out. Some shops selling Chinese specialties were also smashed. The Japanese police just looked at it symbolically and said that this was a normal political activity for the Japanese, and then they went away. Mr. Liu Shixing, the boss of Sunshine City, was extremely angry and knew me again, so they asked our Warwick to go to protect the shops..."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "After hearing about this, I sent seventy members of the Warwick Gang, including ten of my personal apprentices and sixty subordinates, all of whom had skill. On the afternoon of the day I went there, I clashed with the protesters. Those who had never hit us, and soon dispersed. I was very happy after receiving the call, but unexpectedly, Mr. Liu called me and told me that he had found out the origins of the demonstrators. They were all sent by the Shirago family. The purpose was not to let Chinese goods occupy the Japanese market, and not to let more and more Chinese people in Tokyo.

The Bird Family is the second largest gang in Japan. Of course, I knew they were not easy to mess with, so I quickly sent all the members of the Warwick Gang to come over. Who knew that on the third day, our people were suddenly attacked by two or three hundred people holding samurai swords. Of course, my sixteen personal apprentices rushed forward, but... But the White Bird Family has many people, good sword skills, and ruthless attacks. All my apprentices were killed in battle. More than 40 other people were cut off their wrists or their entire arms, and many were seriously injured. In this way, overnight, my people were killed by the White Bird Family, and the Warwick Gang no longer exists."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhongting's voice was getting lower and lower, and his eyes seemed to be wet. Zhang Haotian knew the sadness in his heart and sighed, "What's going on in Sunshine City now?"

Liu Zhongting said: "Mr. Liu knew that he could not beat the people of the Shirago family, so he prepared a generous gift to give them to their head Shirago Huanjin, and promised to pay a generous monthly protection fee. But unexpectedly, Shirago Huanjin returned all his gifts and asked him to tell him that Japan does not like Chinese people, and Tokyo does not like Chinese people, and Sunshine City will never allow selling Chinese goods. Mr. Liu forced him to rent Sunshine City to some Japanese merchants at a low price to operate Japanese specialties, and Mr. Liu himself flew back to China."

Zhang Haotian was secretly indignant, controlling his emotions, and said, "Master Liu, although the Warwick Gang has been disbanded, you still have some subordinates, and it seems that there is no need to close the Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall. Could it be that the Shiraki family members ran to Yokohama to force you."

Liu Zhongting's face became dark again. Before he could speak, Du Zan, the third apprentice sitting next to him, gritted his teeth and shouted: "The people from the White Bird Family did not come to force us, they were the martial arts schools and gangs in Chinatown."

Zhang Haotian's heart moved and said, "Oh, Brother Du, what's going on? Tell me about it."

Du Zan immediately said: "Our Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall has always been the most famous martial arts hall in Chinatown and has the most disciples. Since the disbandment of the Warwick Gang and our disciples suffered major casualties, other martial arts halls have begun to spread rumors, saying that my master is a false reputation and is spreading three-legged cat kung fu, and he will trick his disciples to die, but he hides aside to collect money. When he hears these rumors, some disciples with weak ears and timidity are so scared that they dare not come. Those who want to come to learn will choose other martial arts halls or gangs to join when they find out these things. Even if we keep going, no one will come."

At this point, he looked at Liu Zhongting and said, "Master, I firmly oppose the sale of the venue to the Tianyuan Martial Arts Hall. The price they offered was too low, and the Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall has been here since its establishment in Chinatown. It has a longer history than other martial arts halls. If you sell it like this, how can you be worthy of your ancestors?"

Liu Zhongting was silent for a long time and said after a long time: "Azan, it's not that I want to sell it, but you should know that the people of the Wuli Gang have long been attracted by our place. If we don't sell it to them, they will make others afraid to buy it. Now our pension is still a gap, especially those disabled disciples. It is very difficult to make a living now. It is my conscience to be a human being. I believe that my ancestors are in the heavenly spirit and I will not blame me."

Hearing the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Zhang Haotian immediately understood their situation. So many people under his sect were injured and disabled, and their living expenses in the future were definitely not a small amount. Liu Zhongting was willing to sell his ancestors' wealth to take care of them, which was a benevolent act.

Du Zan was still persuading Liu Zhongting. Zhang Haotian raised his head and looked around. Seeing some photos hanging on the right wall, there were some texts below that, and knew that it must be the history of this "Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall", he stood up and walked over to take a look.

After seeing this, Zhang Haotian realized that the "Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall" really had its origins and was created by the famous martial artist Liu Zhensheng.

Liu Zhensheng, whose real name is Liu Qingshun, and his courtesy name is Zhensheng. He was originally from Hutouzhuang, Jingxian County, Hebei Province. He has been very skilled in martial arts since he was a child. He is known as "Lightning Hand Flying Swallow Liu". After Liu Zhensheng became famous, he heard about the name of Huo Yuanjia in Tianjin, so he came to learn about martial arts. As a result, he was defeated by Huo Yuanjia's mysterious fist. He was obsessed with all his body and wanted to be a disciple of Huo Yuanjia. Huo Yuanjia had heard of his reputation in the world and knew that he had the name of chivalrous and had great talent in martial arts practice. After a period of test, he taught him the "transmitted to the inside but not the outside" Huo Family Fist. Liu Zhensheng brought the art to the master, which was actually a frequent film and television series.

The prototype of the fictional character Chen Zhen appeared is also the only personal disciple Huo Yuanjia accepted. Huang Biao was familiar with the ranks of the martial arts world. When he was in Tianhong Villa, in addition to teaching Zhang Haotian's true teachings of Hongquan, he also told him these old stories. This is indeed the case in the history of the "Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall". Huo Yuanjia was poisoned by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. This is an indisputable fact. As his only successor, Liu Zhensheng opened the martial arts hall to Japan, which naturally had a profound meaning. No wonder it is called "Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall". The light of the essence of martial arts and the light of China should be Liu Zhensheng's original intention of traveling to Japan.

While remembering the intentions of his predecessors, Liu Zhongting had already brought Du Zan over, looking at some old photos of his ancestors, and sighed again: "The ancestor Zhensheng Gong built a museum here, and the Japanese were dissatisfied and came to challenge him. Zhensheng Gong used the mysterious boxing technique to defeat more than a dozen famous Japanese martial arts schools such as Jiang Teng and Dadonghe Qiliu, thus greatly boosting his reputation and supporting the ambition of the Chinese. When Zhensheng Gong was at the time of Zhensheng Gong, the disciples of the Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall were spread all over Japan, with a total of 5,000 people. However, Zhensheng Gong was not used to living in Japan. After staying for five years, he handed over the martial arts hall to his second son Shiyang Gong and went back to his hometown in Cangzhou. Although Shiyang Gong could not surpass Zhensheng Gong, he was still famous in Japan and finally gained a foothold here. Unfortunately, in my generation, he could not help his ancestors, but instead wanted to sell his family property for a hundred years. He was extremely incompetent and shamed his ancestors."

Zhang Haotian understood that he actually had a glorious intention to establish the Warwick Gang. He was just weak and the enemy went over and became strong, so he suffered a tragic failure. Just as he was about to comfort him, he saw the young Xiaowei running into the hall with a nervous look on his face and said, "Master, Master, the people from the Wuli Gang are here and said, "Master, Master, I have come and I want to let Master out."

Hearing this, Du Zan's face changed and he said, "What, they came to our Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall and asked his master to go out. It's so presumptuous."

However, at this time, Liu Zhongting calmed down and said, "Azan, forget it, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as these people, let's go out."

As he said, he walked into the hall. Du Zan quickly followed, and Zhang Haotian walked out with Xiaowei.

When I arrived at the large courtyard outside, I saw a group of people standing there, about twenty, wearing red training shirts. Everyone looked strong and fierce. There were two people leading the way, one was a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall and thin, short eyebrows and small eyes, and a small beard, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not tall, but his shoulders were round and wide, very strong, with a steady face, but his eyes were sharp.

Liu Zhongting had already walked to the leading man and shouted in a deep voice: "Wan Xinghe, isn't there a day left to sell the martial arts hall? What are you doing with your people so early?"

The man named Wan Xinghe was not afraid of him and said loudly: "Liu Zhongting, I heard that you sent everyone in your family back to your hometown in Cangzhou. You will sell them one day earlier and one day later. Why are you waiting for? My elder brother doesn't have that good patience."

Liu Zhongting seemed to be holding back his anger and said, "Okay, it's okay to sell it today. Go and tell Wan Xinglong that my land was left by his ancestors. At the current market price, it's worth at least 200 million yen. He only paid 100 million. It's too little. I can give in. It only takes 150 million. If he agrees, we can sign the contract now."

And Wan Xinghe immediately sneered: "Liu Zhongting, 100 million yen is already a lot. Don't forget what your situation is now. Your disabled subordinates are still waiting for you to use money to arrange their future lives. If our Wuli Gang doesn't buy it, no one else dares to buy it, you have no choice."

Liu Zhongting was angry when he heard his arrogant tone and said, "You five brothers from Wan family should not bully people too much. Do you think I, Liu Zhongting, are you a bully?"

Wan Xinghe laughed again, and then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "We are just going to bully you, an old man in sickness, so what? Don't forget, how did your Liu family deal with our Wan family in the fire that year? Now, it's finally time to talk about your Wan family's unluckyness, which is called retribution."

When Liu Zhongting heard this, he became silent, but Du Zan beside him rushed to Wan Xinghe and said, "Whoever has the surname Wan, the Yaoguang Martial Arts Hall has not collapsed, and you can't be so arrogant."

Wan Xinghe nodded and said, "It's not falling, okay, Du Zan, gather all your remaining junior brothers and nephews. It depends on whether it is the Warwick Gang's power or the Five Power Gang's power."

Du Zan could no longer help it, and shouted, stretched his arm and hit Wan Xinghe's face. Wan Xinghe had been on guard for him. Seeing him attacking, he blocked his right arm and pinched his left hand three fingers together, making a bird's beak, pecking at Wan Xinghe's throat, which was the crane-shaped fist in Hongquan.

When he saw the two of them going back and forth, he took more than ten moves to dismantle them in a moment. Zhang Haotian was plotting to observe. He saw Du Zan's body technique was light and quick and loose. In the process of using the moves, the upper three attacks of the boxing technique were more than the lower three attacks of the leg technique, but his legs were very fast, and he almost didn't stay in the same place for more than five seconds, and kept spinning around the Wanxinghe. This set of boxing techniques is really worthy of the name of "Missing".

"Mizhiquan" is one of the famous boxing types in China. Huang Biao also mentioned it when chatting with him. This boxing is also known as Mizongquan, Mizhiquan, Mizhiquan, Yanqingquan, originated in the late Tang Dynasty and developed by Lu Junyi in the Song Dynasty. Lu Junyi accepted Yan Qing as his disciple and went to Liangshanpo. Yan Qing developed boxing into "Eighteen Swallows". Yue Fei, a famous general of the anti-Jin, learned this boxing. Later, boxing was passed down to Cangzhou. In the Qing Dynasty, the martial arts master Sun Tong had a branch and leaves. There were five sects. The most famous of them was Huo Family Quan. At that time, Huo Yuanjia was weak and sickly when he was young. His father, Huo Andi, was a secret sect boxing that was famous for his time. His father, Huo Andi, was a famous secret sect boxing that was famous for his time.

Master. He was worried that Yuan Jia would lose his reputation in the future, so he refused to teach him skills. However, Huo Yuanjia had lofty ambitions, paid attention every day, studied everywhere, and stole the skills of his father's brothers. He practiced hard in the remoteness of the jujube forest outside the house. Later, he knew that his father was blamed, Huo Yuanjia promised not to compete with others and not to humiliate the Huo family's family, so he practiced martial arts together. However, Huo Yuanjia was talented, had amazing perseverance, and his elder brother was extremely skilled, and outstanding among his brothers. Seeing this, Brother Huo changed his old thoughts and carefully passed on his skills. Later, Huo Yuanjia made friends with martial arts and integrated the strengths of each family, which made his ancestral boxing skills reach a new peak.

When Zhang Haotian looked at Wan Xinghe's boxing skills, he knew it very well. You should know that the true teachings of Hongquan he learned can be said to be the essence and master of various Hongquans. In addition to the five shapes of dragon, snake, tiger, leopard, and crane, there are also the two shapes of hardness and softness that combines powerful tiger and crane, and the crane fist used by Wan Xinghe is one of them.

Cranes represent longevity and rebirth. However, they have a high degree of alertness and patience and never move rashly. Therefore, the essence of Crane-shaped fist is also "controlling movement with stillness" and "replace work with leisure". It is definitely different from the change of Dragon-shaped fist, the main attack of Tiger-shaped fist, the tricky attack of Leopard-shaped fist, and the flexible snake-shaped fist. Crane-shaped fist has always been "if the enemy does not move, I will not move, and when the enemy moves, I will move first". When the enemy attacks, its weaknesses must be revealed, so it is better to let the opponent move first, and then take advantage of the weakness to attack, and you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Therefore, it is often used to appear in a high-studded horse posture such as a high-mounted horse, a one-legged horse, and a high-rise horse, and the front foot is hanging in the air or just touching the ground with the toes. This is a method of strictly protecting the lower plate. If the opponent attacks by mistake, it will only be injured under this leg.

Zhang Haotian looked at Wan Xinghe's crane-shaped fist and nodded secretly. Among the five shapes of Hongquan, he could practice both five shapes and one shape in combination. It does not mean that after practicing all five shapes, it is definitely better than practicing one shape alone. This depends entirely on the practitioner's specialization level. Just like him, although he has practiced the five shapes, the defense of this crane-shaped is stable and skillful, which is quite inferior to Wan Xinghe. I think their father is well versed in Hongquan and understands that his sons are not practicing martial arts.

He is a genius, specializing in one shape, which is more practical and powerful than practicing the five shapes. Huang Biao once told him that due to historical and political reasons, many domestic kung fu masters have gone overseas to preserve their complete martial arts. It seems that this is true. He has also watched video clips of domestic crane boxing masters on TV, and more of them are fancy performances. These martial arts schools overseas have to deal with challenges from Chinese and foreigners, and use real kung fu to attract people to become disciples and charge for survival. What is important is practicality.

In between thoughts, Du Zan and Wan Xinghe have dismantled sixty or seventy moves. Du Zan's mysterious fist is extreme movement, while Wan Xinghe's crane-shaped fist is extreme quiet. It can be said that it is two extremes. If anyone wants to win, it depends on talent and his usual hard work.

At this time, Zhang Haotian also discovered a problem, that is, Wan Xinghe's crane-shaped fist has some flaws in the connection and coherence of some moves, and lacks some of the exquisiteness he learned. At the beginning, he could use physical strength to speed up his movements to make up for it, but after a long time, his hands and feet were slowing down, and the flaws were revealed, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
