Unlike the Olympic Games or the Football World Cup, after the opening ceremony of the National Guoshu Exchange Competition, which lasted for more than two hours, the official competition began in the afternoon of the same day.

The rules of the game are very simple, that is, more than 50 rings are placed in the big stadium, and the group is drawn, and the winners are eliminated.

In addition, this year's national martial arts competition highlights the actual combat, does not require participants to wear protective clothing to participate, does not limit the attack of vital parts, and even, there are rows of weapon racks around the venue, knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks eighteen kinds of weapons are all available, and the contestants can choose to fight with weapons, which improves the watchability of the game.

The duration of the entire exchange competition is about 7 days, until the rankings of the top 1000 list, top 100 list, and top 10 list are clear and clear.

After the start of the game, Lu Wei was a little careless, observing the moves of those players, but after only half an hour, he was not very calm.

Killed.

In the first round of eliminations alone, one person was shot in the head and died because the game was distracted or the opponent did not have time to stop.

What surprised Lu Wei was that although the contestant was killed, it was only a small episode and did not affect the continuation of the game.

So, that afternoon, six people were killed in nearly 1,000 games, and 50 or 60 people were crippled or seriously injured.

"Isn't it just a competition? Five or six lives are gone? Lu Wei was puzzled.

"This is not an Olympic taekwondo competition, but a national martial arts competition that emphasizes actual combat." Yang Shao next to him said: "You must know that in this competition, as long as you score in the top 2,500, you can get a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and the top 1,000 are 200,000 yuan. There are also various sects to make a reputation, each martial arts hall to make a reputation, and each family to be in the limelight, that is, the group of monks who eat fasting and chant Buddha in Shaolin Temple have also sent hundreds of masters to fight, it can be seen that in the face of fame and fortune, everyone will do their best, and there will be some casualties, which is inevitable. ”

"But it's not worth dying, is it?"

Lu Wei kept shaking his head, he couldn't beat and just admit defeat, for the sake of fame and fortune, these masters of national arts who had worked hard to learn kung fu spilled blood in the ring like this, it was really not worth it.

Yang Shao shook his head and smiled: "Brother Lu, you think so, but you are very wrong. ”

He said something that stunned Lu Wei: "These people not only died innocently, but they died well. ”

"Where the dead are...... Why? ”

Lu Wei was puzzled, Yang Shao's words seemed to be damned.

Yang Shaodao: "In troubled times, we need brave generals and soldiers to defend the country and resist foreign insults, these masters of national arts can become heroes and contribute to the country." ”

"But what about in the heyday? We need teachers, senior technicians, electronics specialists, and atomic bomb engineers to impart knowledge, and we need a large number of scientific and technological workers, and these national masters ...... Do we still need it? Of course not! ”

"On the contrary!"

Yang Shao's tone changed, and he continued: "Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, in contemporary society, these masters of national arts, relying on a strong martial arts, or seeing uneven roads, or defying the law, or solving problems violently, walking on the edge of the law all year round, causing chaos in public order and bringing all kinds of problems, at this time, what are they?" It is a destabilizing factor, a key target of the Public Security Bureau, and even a criminal who must be arrested! ”

Yang Shao sighed, his eyes were deep and thorough, and he turned his head to look at Lu Wei and said: "Brother Lu, you may not know that in the past few years, in the southwest border area of our country and in other countries, hundreds of large and small warlords have emerged one after another, and the leaders of these warlords are mostly masters of national art who have gone out of China……”

"Those small countries around are like this, just imagine, if China is in chaos, these uncontrolled masters of national arts, with a strong force, I don't know how much social turmoil it will cause?"

Lu Wei was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, but he didn't feel quite right, and couldn't help asking: "Yang Shao, what you said is not so exaggerated, right?" It's long before it's hot. In the era of weapons, no matter how high the martial arts are, it is impossible to be the opponent of firearms and bullets, right? ”

"It's not the weapons that decide the victory, it's the people!"

Yang Shao looked at the national art master who was competing on the screen, and said slowly: "Character determines fate, some people are cowardly, some people are strong, some people are lazy, some people are diligent, some people dare to think and dare to do, and some people are self-contained...... Martial artists just have a lot of good qualities, especially those who are strong in national arts, most of them are mentally tough, unconvinced, and have a force far beyond ordinary people, they really want to do an earth-shattering thing, how can ordinary people stop it? ”

"Therefore, the potential threat of martial artists to social stability is still very huge."

Lu Wei felt even more strange and asked: "In this case, what kind of national arts exchange competition does the country want to organize, and why do you still acquiesce to the development of national arts?" ”

"Or because of one person."

Yang Shao smiled bitterly, "Because the appearance of this person has almost changed the entire Huaguo, and even changed the whole world." ”

"Valkyrie?"

Lu Wei has heard people talk about this person many times, and it seems that everyone who mentions him is extremely worshipful.

"Yes."

Yang Shao nodded: "Before the martial god came out, the development of national arts in China was not so vigorous, but after the martial arts competition that shocked the world was held, everything changed, the United States immediately launched the future warrior plan, Russia fully introduced Chinese national arts, and Western countries have also put forward strong breeding plans, hoping to maintain racial superiority. ”

"Foreigners have learned physical skills, to improve racial superiority as a national long-term strategy, at this time, we can only follow this trend, otherwise, when the alien racial superiority is established, the threat faced by China is even greater, this is one of the reasons."

"The second reason, after more than 40 years of reform and opening up, economic development, the power of the family gate lords in China continues to grow, in order to protect their own interests, these families, have recruited national art masters as bodyguards, the army also needs a group of such people as instructors, as special forces, some big bosses in the society also want these talents...... As a result, a huge market has emerged, a market that needs masters of national arts. ”

"The third reason is that the state has set up a special agency to strictly restrain these national arts masters, control them, and prevent these national arts masters from causing trouble and undermining social stability, just like making an iron cage and keeping tigers inside."

"It is precisely because after these three points are determined, the government maintains a tacit attitude towards the development of Guoshu, so that the business of Zhenhua Guoshu Hall is prosperous, and those of us who used to play with cars and women all day long have such a place for recreation."

“……”

Lu Wei nodded, understanding why Yang Shao said that those national art masters who were killed in the ring died well.

Martial artists are different from any profession in society, they don't produce anything, and they can't bring scientific and technological progress, just a simple destructive force.

It's just that now the living space of these warriors is much wider than before, whether it is to enter the big family as a worship, as a bodyguard, into the army, or to go abroad as a warlord, as a mercenary, reputation, interests, status, three things are placed in front of them, as long as the kung fu is powerful, can fight, they are all at their fingertips, why cherish a small life?

Lu Wei remembered what Wang Hongchao said to him, warriors are also people, and they also have to eat, sleep, and spend money to make money, in this great era, countless warriors, in order to survive, compete for fame and fortune, fight for life and death, commonplace, so unless absolutely necessary, do not set foot in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that Lu Wei was deep in thought, Yang Shao, who had made a big call, patted him on the shoulder, and reminded him as if he was kind and reminded: "Brother Lu, you are a rare martial arts wizard, in the future, your kung fu may be famous all over the world, but I still remind you that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, force cannot last, wisdom can last forever, I hope you can be a smart person, don't be a reckless man." ”

Yang Shao's words were aimed at Lu Wei's behavior of taking the stage and defeating a large number of challengers in the past few days.

Lu Wei nodded, he was indeed a little carried away during this time, it was too high-profile, and when he heard Yang Shao's reminder, he arched his hand to him and said, "Yang Shao's reminder is right, I understand." ”

It is true that being competitive can be happy for a while, but in this national arts exchange competition, looking at those martial artists who died in the ring, Lu Wei understood that he could not compete for fame and fortune and fight to the death like these martial artists.

His future is not in the ring, but under the ring.
