Chapter 31(1/2)
The head of the Jiujia Martial Arts Hall came to Jingwumen to ask for an explanation.
Yu Chunqiu must not be surprised.
Because this is what Yu Chunqiu predicted.
Yu Chunqiu grasped the needs of human nature and warriors. Jingwumen published a newspaper and asked Huo Yuanjia to represent the Shanghai martial arts community to attend the World Fighting Conference. It would be strange if the nine martial arts halls could sit.
Instead of coming to the door to talk to the heads of Jiujia Martial Arts Club, it is better to ask them to come to Jingwumen to find themselves.
That's the thing.
But taking the initiative to ask others for help and asking others for themselves will definitely be a world of difference.
Yu Chunqiu sat on the chair of the Grand Master in the yard and looked at the nine martial arts leaders calmly.
Huo Yuanjia stood beside Yu Chunqiu.
The heads of the Jiujia Martial Arts Hall all guessed that someone behind Huo Yuanjia was supported. Not long ago, Huo Yuanjia was moving goods and carrying bags at the dock.
Without a gold medal, Huo Yuanjia would not be able to take charge of the Jingwu Sect.
But they didn't expect that the person behind Huo Yuanjia was actually Yu Chunqiu.
Mr. Yu in the county government office is also famous in Shanghai. Although Mr. Yu does not participate in the martial arts world, he offended the big business companies in Shanghai by collecting commercial taxes and even fought with the Qing Gang, and his courage is extraordinary.
Who doesn’t know that there is a Master Yu who is ignorant of the world in the yamen?
The heads of the Jiujia Martial Arts Pavilion may look down on Huo Yuanjia, but they have to face Yu Chunqiu.
Yu Chunqiu is the spokesperson of the county magistrate and a member of the yamen.
Since ancient times, China has had a tradition of the people not fighting with officials. Yu Chunqiu's aura alone suppressed the aura of nine martial arts leaders.
Yu Chunqiu said: "You want to ask for an explanation? I wonder, what kind of explanation do you want?"
Master Wu from the Bajiquan Gallery is the most skilled martial arts among them, and others vaguely lead him.
Master Wu clasped his fists and said a little respectfully: "Mr. Yu, Huo Yuanjia has just arrived in Shanghai, and he doesn't understand the Shanghai martial arts world. Master Huo is the number one in Tianjin, but he cannot represent the entire Shanghai martial arts world."
Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "Master Huo is not qualified to represent the Shanghai martial arts world? So who can represent the ally? Are you, Master Wu? Or are you?"
All nine people chose to remain silent.
They are very confident in their martial arts. If they really say "they are qualified to represent the Shanghai martial arts world", it will attract people's hatred.
They are not as arrogant as Huo Yuanjia.
Yu Chunqiu said: "The Fighting Conference of the Worlds is about to begin. I know you all want to show off your martial arts and boxing skills in the fighting arena. Master Huo represents the Shanghai martial arts world, and you must be unwilling to accept it. Then let's compete."
"It is better to choose a day than to hit the day. In my opinion, the yard of Jingwumen is big enough for you to show off. If anyone can defeat Master Huo, the Yamen will support him to represent the Shanghai martial arts world to fight against foreigners."
The eyes of nine people lit up.
If you can get official support, it will be different.
This competition must be fought and won.
Master Wu nodded and said, "We all listen to Mr. Yu."
Huo Yuanjia walked to the middle of the yard and clasped his fists and said, "Every master has known me. I will introduce myself here. Huo Yuanjia from Xiajin is now the owner of Jingwu Gate in Shanghai. I wonder which master will fight Huo first?"
Master Wang, who poked the foot boxing gym, stepped forward and said, "I'll do it first."
Huo Yuanjia said: "Please!"
Yu Chunqiu immediately burned the public opinion, allowing himself to enter a state of unforgettable memory.
Yu Chunqiu is not a professional martial artist, but it does not prevent him from hoping that he will become stronger.
Although Yu Chunqiu knew what fighting was going on, the martial arts of each school have different styles and have unique advantages.
The attack with the legs of the feet is very cruel.
The strength of legs is much greater than that of arms. Poking the feet means majoring in leg skills. Master Wang has trained his legs to almost as flexible as his hands.
If he was kicked by Master Wang, Huo Yuanjia would definitely end up with his muscles and bones breaking.
Fortunately, after two special trainings by Yu Chunqiu, Huo Yuanjia's body skills are more flexible than before and his boxing skills are more proficient. At this moment, Huo Yuanjia is only half a step away from the Grandmaster.
Yu Chunqiu said intimately: "The martial arts in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China were not fancy styles, but real killing skills. Master Wang's poking his feet and lifting his legs will not exceed the height of his knees, and it will mainly attack the enemy's lower three ways. The enemy's insteps, ankles, calf bones, knees, and crotch are all targets of poking the feet. If he is poked and kicked in the middle crotch, he will either die or be disabled."
Huo Yuanjia learned from Yu Chunqiu and quickly calculated the range where Master Wang could come out, avoiding the attack every time.
Master Wang failed to win Huo Yuanjia. He didn't expect Huo Yuanjia's body skills to be so flexible. He said angrily: "Master Huo, can you just escape? If you have the courage, you will fight me head-on. If you rely on your body skills to flexibly dodge, I will look down on you."
Flexible body skills are also a kind of skill.
Master Wang failed to hit Huo Yuanjia, but he actually lost. But Master Wang didn't admit it.
Huo Yuanjia nodded and said, "Master Wang's piercing foot is tricky and vicious, Huo has learned it. Now if I attack, Master Wang must be careful."
Huo Yuanjia's offensive was very popular, and he fully exerted the Huo family's fist. In less than six rounds, Master Wang was knocked to the ground by Huo Yuanjia. Fortunately, he was only injured by a little flesh and blood, and he was not seriously injured, but he just lost face.
In the second game, Huo Yuanjia fought against Mantis Fist Master Liang.
Win three games in a row.
Huo Yuanjia consumes a huge amount of physical strength.
Yu Chunqiu said: "Stay for half an hour."
Yu Chunqiu asked people to bring out food, including beef sauce, pig's trotters, stewed duck with radish, roasted chicken, stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns and rice, and kelp soup.
And fruit.
It can be said to be very abundant.
People who practice martial arts consume a lot of money and need a lot of nutrition. In terms of diet, Yu Chunqiu has never thought about saving money. If it weren't for the conditions, Yu Chunqiu would also want people from Jingwumen to drink milk.
Being poor and rich in martial arts is not a joke.
Without resources and insufficient money and food support, practicing martial arts can only help you lose your body and cause injuries.
Huo Yuanjia picked up the bowls and chopsticks, started to eat them, and began to replenish his nutrition and physical strength.
Gululu.
The nine martial arts leaders smelled the fragrance of the food and subconsciously swallowed.
Jingwumen is really rich, with a rich meal and a generous meal. If you dare to eat like this in your own martial arts hall, you will be bankrupt in less than two months.
Yu Chunqiu smiled slightly and said, "My masters, I think you are hungry too. Sit down and eat together, no need to be polite."
Master Wu of Bajiquan hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Yu for the hospitality."
If you have a big meal, it’s useless to not eat it.
After filling his stomach, Huo Yuanjia recovered his strength.
The competition continues.
The heads of the martial arts halls such as Yongchun Baihe, Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, Tai Chiquan, etc. were all defeated by Huo Yuanjia.
It’s not that their martial arts are weak, but that they are old.
Even Master Liang, the youngest leader of Mantis Boxing Gallery, is several years older than Huo Yuanjia.
Master Chen, Tai Chi, is almost seventy years old.
Tai Chi is very strong and very strong. However, Master Chen’s thrust is not strong enough. After all, he is old and his qi and blood are beginning to decline, and his physical fitness is going downhill.
However, Master Chen's Tai Chi is indeed good, which is pleasing to the eye and is very exquisite. When Huo Yuanjia competed with him, he was broken by a "four ounces of effort" and almost threw it out.
Master Wu of Bajiquan and Huo Yuanjia tied.
Yu Chunqiu mastered the martial arts styles and characteristics of each school.
At this moment, Yu Chunqiu gathers the strengths of hundreds of schools. One day, Yu Chunqiu can truly integrate various martial arts, and his martial arts attainments can go further and reach a new level.
Huo Yuanjia showed martial arts and boxing skills, and the nine heads of the martial arts hall had to bow their heads. Even if they were not convinced, they would not dare to show it again.
People who practice martial arts have to speak with their fists. It is an indisputable fact that Huo Yuanjia is younger and stronger than them.
Master Wu of Bajiquan said: "Mr. Yu, let's say goodbye first."
Yu Chunqiu said, "Wait a minute."
Yu Chunqiu waved his hand and asked someone to bring nine hundred dollars to the ocean.
"All masters are injured." Yu Chunqiu said, "Your decoction and medicine cost is out. Each person costs 100 yuan, don't think it's too little. Master Wu of Bajiquan, you and Huo Yuanjia are in equal terms, and there is no difference in the victory or defeat. Then you and Master Huo represent the Shanghai martial arts community to attend the World Fighting Conference."
The Shanghai martial arts community must be consistent with the outside world.
No more internal fighting.
Otherwise, foreigners can only get cheaper. If you do anything, you are most afraid of internal struggles.
Yu Chunqiu must stand up and coordinate the conflicts between the Jingwu Sect and the Shanghai martial arts community. Reconciling the conflicts between all parties is what the yamen should do, and Yu Chunqiu has no choice but to do it.
Master Wu said in surprise: "Thank you Mr. Yu. Don't worry, Master Huo and I will never embarrass the Shanghai martial arts world."
The atmosphere at the scene has eased a lot.
Their hostility towards Huo Yuanjia is no longer as strong as before.
