Chapter 466: Kung Fu Hegemony
After Zhou Min finished speaking, the other three all fell silent.
I have to admit that, at least logically, Zhou Min's theory is absolutely feasible.
With that Mr. Zhou Xingchi's love for national arts and his admiration for Bruce Lee, he is indeed very likely to watch the battle on the spot for a major event in the national arts circle like this kind of door-to-door kicking gym.
It's just that how to approach him on the spot and talk to him about things is another thing to consider.
"Seemingly, there is some truth to it. Lu Menglin smiled and replied.
Chen Jiannan suddenly frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to go?"
"Well, it doesn't hurt to go and see the excitement. And if Zhou Xingchi is here, it's better to find a chance to talk to him than not even touching a figure. Lu Menglin said with a smile.
"Then I'll go with you. Chen Jiannan said lightly.
The conversation between the two sounds normal, but it actually contains some information that outsiders don't know.
Because Lu Menglin and Chen Jiannan had met the master Ye in the Wing Chun boxing gym, and the other great master of Xingyi boxing in the hall also gave Lu Menglin this boxing book.
Hearing the news that Zhou Min said, Lu Menglin and Chen Jiannan both guessed what the purpose of the two boxers that day was.
It turned out that they were not sure to deal with the murderous challenger, so they hoped to use external forces, but for some reason they gave up temporarily, so they gave it away with a boxing book, hoping that Lu Menglin could pass on the boxing book.
"Who is the challenger?" Lu Menglin asked casually.
Zhou Min didn't know what the two of them were thinking, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I don't know about this, anyway, I heard that it is very fierce, and it has already disabled several boxing masters." ”
"Why didn't they call the police?" asked Zhu Qiuhong on the side.
Zhou Min replied: "The circle is different! I heard that before the fight, those people all signed life and death certificates, and the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, so it is better to call the police and admit defeat directly." ”
"It's terrible! Are we really going to that kind of place to find Xingye?" Zhu Qiuhong frowned.
In fact, even if they haven't seen this kind of life-and-death battle in the ring, they have all heard of it, but most of it happened in the movie, and no one has experienced it in reality.
On weekends, the West Kowloon neighborhood on Hong Kong Island is lit up and the night is sultry.
The legendary Kowloon Walled City, like a behemoth, is entrenched in a corner of the city.
The night here is always brightly lit, bustling and noisy, filled with the smell of desire, and in countless dark corners, many unknown things are quietly happening.
The Kowloon Walled City is notoriously mixed, and it was once a land of desire that even the Hong Kong Island police had no jurisdiction over.
The characters of the three sects and the nine streams are mixed in, and it is no exaggeration to say that before the return of Jiuqi, evil was breeding here every minute.
However, tonight, the Kowloon Walled City was unusually calm.
Luxury cars are driving into the core area of the Kowloon Walled City one after another, because tonight there will be a battle of the century, which affects the hearts of countless Hong Kong people.
From high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, as long as they know about this war of the century, they are all looking forward to it.
Not only because they have invested heavily in it, but also because this battle is related to the battle for the name of the national art world.
Since the beginning of the 70s, there has been an unwritten rule in the Hong Kong Island martial arts circle, all martial artists who want to enter Hong Kong Island to open a museum to teach their arts, must go through the test of various martial arts masters, prove their strength, and then open a museum to accept apprentices.
And one of the fastest ways to gain popularity is to kick the hall at the door and beat everyone to convince them, naturally
Get a piece of the pie.
From the liberation to the Cultural Revolution, a large number of people poured into Hong Kong Island, and for a time there were more boxing gyms than rice shops, and martial arts gyms competed with each other, and it was common for them to kick the gym.
When Wing Chun Ip Man came to Hong Kong Island, he also experienced the test of various martial arts halls, so he opened the museum to accept apprentices, and his disciples were all over the island.
Coupled with the popularity of action movies on Hong Kong Island, it has provided a growth environment for national arts and martial arts.
But this time, it was not in the ordinary sense that the gym was kicked for the sake of opening, but someone brazenly challenged the entire Hong Kong Island national martial arts circle, and even publicly criticized the value and significance of the existence of Chinese martial arts.
Fast forward to a month ago, Tony, a Muay Thai master from Thailand?? Feng, with his Chinese apprentice Xu Xiaohu, challenged the Chiyang Martial Arts Gym, crippled the Taijiquan master Chen Jingyang, and publicly declared that Taijiquan was a fake style, vulnerable to a blow, and could not be used in actual combat at all.
Subsequently, the pair of masters and apprentices challenged seven Hong Kong Island martial arts gyms in a row, defeating Dongjiang Zhoujia Mantis Boxing, Bagua Gate, Shavings Lotus Boxing, Mulan Boxing, Wu's Taijiquan, White Crane Boxing and Cai Li Buddha Boxing, and they were all brutal, either dead or injured.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Hong Kong Island martial arts community has not encountered such a ferocious and vicious person for many years, and this pair of Muay Thai masters and apprentices have also spoken wildly, openly challenging the Hong Kong Island Elite Martial Arts Association, which has a history of 100 years, to trample the entire national martial arts circle under their feet.
At this time, Master Wing Chun Ye Tim, who was the president of Jingwu, had to lead the crowd in order to maintain the reputation of Chinese martial arts.
Knowing the news that Wing Chun Yip Tim was going to face Muay Thai, Hong Kong Island martial arts lovers have expressed their support, and all major gambling stalls have opened handicaps for this fight, and the odds are not low.
However, anyone who has watched the previous few kicking competitions is not optimistic about Wing Chun Tim because the opponent is too strong.
To be exact, the first few fights, Tony?? Feng himself only appeared once when he was fighting Cai Lifo's old boxer, and the other five were completed by his disciple Xu Xiaohu.
And Xu Xiaohu is notorious in the Hong Kong Island kung fu world.
He had been practicing free fighting for a few years, and was once sentenced to prison for beating his elderly parents, and after being released from prison, Xu Xiaohu wanted to go to the boxing gym to learn boxing, but was considered by the gym to be of bad character and turned away.
This person couldn't get along with Hong Kong Island anymore, so he held a grudge and left the country.
No one knows why Xu Xiaohu is with Tony?? Feng hooked up, he practiced Muay Thai in Thailand for several years, and this time he returned to Hong Kong Island with his master to show off his martial arts, vowing to be ashamed.
None of the Muay Thai masters have made a move, but Xu Xiaohu, an apprentice who has practiced Muay Thai for two years, has already defeated the boxers of the six gyms.
And this pair of masters and apprentices are both in the prime of life, as the saying goes, boxing is afraid of being less strong, that Wing Chun Yip Tim old boxer, I heard that he is already sixty-seven years old, he should be able to practice boxing as an old man, and it is really a little unoptimistic to ask him to compete on stage!
However, the other party openly challenged the Jingwu Society, and said that there is no real kung fu in Chinese national arts, all of them are fake tricks, coupled with the other party's Binghe record, this kind of remark has seriously threatened the life and death of the Hong Kong Island national art world, so Ye Tian had to stand up.
In case the entire Hong Kong Island martial arts world is really defeated, then not only the entire martial arts industry will be impacted, but even the martial arts spirit of the Hong Kong people will also be seriously affected.
Many people can't help but wonder in their hearts, and they don't want to believe this conclusion, so more people spontaneously gather in the Kowloon Walled City to watch the battle of the century and cheer for the Chinese national arts.
Lu Menglin and Chen Jiannan came together and accompanied them
They also came with Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min, two big beauties.
At this moment, the Kowloon City Boxing Gym in front of him was full of people, three religions and nine streams, mixed with fish and dragons.
Nearly 1,000 spectators gathered here to enter with tickets.
There are still tens of thousands of Hong Kong residents gathered outside the Kowloon Boxing Gym, and they have no tickets, so they can only scatter in the tea restaurants and small supermarkets in the Kowloon Walled City, in groups of three or five, listening attentively to the latest broadcast news on the radio.
The competition in the gym will not be broadcast by the TV station, but the radio stations can, and they have asked for connections to buy tickets, send reporters into the gym venue, and use live commentary to stimulate the listening rate of the radio station.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people on Hong Kong Island turned on their radio stations at the same time, and they all paid attention to the battle of the century.
"Wing Chun will win! Guoshu will win! Blow up his dog's head!"
"I heard that Muay Thai is super fierce, if Wing Chun loses, it will be ugly!"
"No, Master Wing Chun Yip is a real master, do you know how to fight Muay Thai!"
There is a lot of talk about it, and they are all waiting for the official start of this battle of the century.
At this moment, in the center of the Kowloon City Boxing Gym, there is a super ring, and there is a large walnut table next to the ring, with pen and ink on the table, a large sheet of snow-white rice paper, and a box of open ink clay next to it.
On the rice paper, eight large characters were written with a brush that penetrated the back of the paper, "Martial arts competition, life and death."
When Lu Menglin and his party of four came in, the four sides of the ring were already full of spectators, and the atmosphere at the scene was very hot.
I saw that in the northeast corner of the ring, a Taishi chair was placed, and on the chair sat a middle-aged man shirtless with a strong upper body, a fist wrapped in a white cloth, and a red cloth strip of hemp rope tied to his forehead.
This person sat on the Taishi chair, squinting his eyes slightly, and there was a faint flash of light in his eyes, as if he was unmoved by the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
From afar, Lu Menglin and Chen Jiannan both saw the person sitting on the Taishi's chair at the same time.
Lu Menglin's first glance was that this person was like a live-action version of Dongzhang in The King of Fighters, the muscles all over his body were too well-proportioned, and he knew at a glance that the other party had excellent coordination and explosiveness.
That person should be the protagonist of tonight, Tony, a boxing champion from Thailand?? Front!
Standing Tony?? Behind the front, standing with his hands tied was an extremely majestic man.
This person looks like a brown bear walking upright, about 1.85 meters tall, with a big waist and a round waist, and a weight of at least 200 catties.
This majestic man looked at the audience unceremoniously, and wherever his gaze fell, people unnaturally avoided his vicious eyes, and did not dare to look at him.
Lu Menglin and the four of them are relatively far ahead, located in the third row of the positive number, only about five or six meters away from the ring.
Facing the ring is a special guest seat, with less than ten seats, which should be a position that can only be sat by a prominent figure in the Hong Kong Island art world.
Seeing such a crowd of people at the scene, Lu Menglin was speechless for a moment.
"Where is Master Xing? With his character, he shouldn't sit in the front, right?" Lu Menglin asked casually.
Zhou Min hurriedly smiled: "It shouldn't be, but he will definitely come, probably like us, hiding in a corner to watch the boxing match!"
"Let's look carefully, maybe we'll find it!" Zhu Qiuhong said with a serious face.
"There are so many people, how can you find them?" Lu Menglin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
