Chapter 14: Countermeasures

Luo Tai nodded and said, "It was Tian Gen who poisoned Huo Daxia, and everyone called him Uncle Gen. But yesterday he was dead. Chen Zhen gently touched the words on the tombstone with his hand, and then said, "How did he die?" ”

Luo Tai said: "On the surface, he hanged himself, but there is another reason for this, I came to you just to talk to you." ”

"Brother Luo has already found out who is behind the scenes?" Chen Zhen asked.

"It's Ah Xiang, a disciple of the jīng martial arts hall, he colluded with Rì himself, and some time before the martial arts competition, he asked Tian Gen to poison the crocodile meat eaten by Huo Daxia, this poison is slow, it will be fine at that time, but if you eat it for a while, it will make the internal organs fail." Luo Tai said slowly.

Chen Zhen turned around, clenched his fists and asked, "What about Ah Xiang?" ”

"He's already run away, I guess he ran to the Hongkou Dojo. And, I also want to sue you that the people in the Jīng Martial Arts Hall don't know about this at the moment, they only know that Tian Gen committed suicide with guilt. Rotai said.

Chen Zhen was silent, he lowered his head and thought for a while before he spoke: "Why don't you tell Tingen and them?" ”

Luo Tai paced two steps in front of the curtain and said, "First, I haven't been in the jīng martial arts hall for a long time. Second, Tian Gen is dead, and there is no other evidence, how can you believe my single words? ”

"Then why did you come to sue me?" Chen Zhen asked.

Luo Tai looked at Chen Zhen and thought to himself, because you are the male protagonist. Of course, he wouldn't say that. "I came to sue you because I think you are Huo Daxia's most important apprentice, and as you said, you have conducted an autopsy and fought with Akutagawa Ryuichi, and you suspect the cause of Huo Daxia's death. I think I'm still a little sure to believe it with you. ”

When Chen Zhen heard Luo Tai say this, he sighed, slowly sat down on the stone steps in front of the curtain, and said for a long time: "But I'm not from the Jīng Martial Arts Hall after all, and there are some things that I will embarrass Tingen." ”

Luo Tai half-squatted beside Chen Zhen, pointed to Huo Yuanjia's mausoleum and said, "Whether it's from the Jīng Martial Arts Pavilion or not, it doesn't matter to me. The important thing is whether you are his apprentice or not. ”

"Of course." Chen Zhen straightened up and replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, a teacher is a father for life, and now that Huo Daxia is dead, should you take revenge." Rotai continued.

"Of course!" Chen Zhen still said with certainty.

"Okay." Luo Tai continued: "Actually, Ah Xiang is just a chess piece, and the real murderer is Rì himself from the Hongkou Dojo. They want to break the myth of Chinese martial arts and extinguish the fighting spirit of the Chinese. That's why such despicable means were used. That's the case now. In front of Rì himself, we should no longer have sectarian differences, let alone intrigues. That's what I'm really here for. ”

Chen Zhen stopped talking, he looked at Luo Tai for a long time, and then asked, "Brother Luo, who are you?" ”

"Chinese." Luo Tai said very vaguely.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Zhen continued to ask.

"I want you to go back to the martial arts hall first and tell Lao Huo this qiē, I hope you can release your old suspicions, Lao Huo has changed a lot now." Luo Taidao.

"What about you?" Chen Zhen then asked.

Luo Tai stood up, exhaled his breath, avoided Chen Zhen's question, thought for a moment and asked instead, "Have you already received a letter of challenge from Fumio Funakoshi, the head of the Black Dragon Society?" ”

Chen Zhen stood up in surprise and subconsciously touched his chest. Yes, he received a handwritten letter from Fumio Funakoshi today, which stated that Fumio Funakoshi would come here tomorrow morning to duel Chen Zhen. However, this matter is currently known only to him and Funakoshi himself, and even Mitsuko, Chen Zhen has no intention of suing Sù.

Why does this man know so much? Does he have the art of prophethood?

"Don't be surprised." Luo Tai was surprised when he saw Chen Zhen, so he said: "Actually, when I was investigating Ah Xiang's matter, I learned from the Hongkou Dojo that Fujita Gang, who is known as the killing machine, asked Funakoshi to find you to compete, as for when, I guess." However, just look at the way you look, and you know that you have been challenged. ”

Rotai thought that this explanation was seamless.

Chen Zhen nodded slowly and said, "Brother Luo guessed well, tomorrow morning I will compete with Fumio Funakoshi here." It was a duel. ”

Luo Tai shook his head and said: "Duel can't be talked about, as far as I know, Mr. Funakoshi's martial arts cultivation is very high, and the purpose of his martial arts practice is to improve his own limit, which is different from Fujita Tsuyoshi Fujita is to kill people." ”

"But no matter what, both of us will do our best in this competition." Chen Zhen said.

Luo Tai frowned slightly and took Chen Zhen's words: "Actually, I think the current thing should be that you return to the martial arts hall first." I think you should know Funakoshi's address, you give it to me, I'll talk to Funakoshi. ”

Hearing Luo Tai say this, Chen Zhen shook his head directly, and he said: "No, Mr. Funakoshi was originally going to compete with my master, but now that my master is gone, this matter will fall on me." He sent out a challenge, and I couldn't help but accept it, let alone avoid it. Besides, I have no problem going back to the jīng martial arts hall, but," he said, looking at Mitsuko, who was busy cooking. Then he continued, "What about photons? The jīng martial arts hall couldn't accommodate her. ”

Luo Tai thought for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, you tell me Mr. Funakoshi's address, and I will go and talk to him first." ”

Chen Zhen said with some puzzlement: "Brother Luo, I don't understand, I just heard you say that my master's death is not Mr. Funakoshi's business, why do you have to talk to him?" He categorically won't cancel my martial arts contest with him, and I don't want to cancel it myself. ”

Luo Tai closed his eyes and groaned, and he said in his heart, do you think I want to? But that's the task. If you can beat him and remember me, I don't want to go.

"I'm also a martial arts practitioner, so I also want to try it with Fumio Funakoshi. Now I'm from the Jīng Martial Arts Hall, so I also have a reason to take on Fumio Funakoshi's challenge. Luo Tai thought for a long time, and had to answer like this.

Chen Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that this Luo brother had talked so much, he wanted to go to compete with Funakoshi instead of himself, and let himself go back to deal with the matter of the Jīng Martial Arts Hall.

"However, Funakoshi is looking for me to compete after all." Chen Zhen said.

"No, he is looking for Huo Daxia, and you are also a replacement. Anyway, we are all representatives, we are all people from the jīng martial arts hall, isn't it the same for anyone who goes? He wants to see Chinese martial arts, not specific people. Luo Tai explained.

Hearing this, Chen Zhen had to look at Luo Tai again. Frankly speaking, Luo Tai said this very confidently, as if he could represent Chinese martial arts to defeat Fumio Funakoshi, who was one of the best masters in his own country, how could he win alone? This made Chen Zhen very interested in Luo Tai's skills.

"Listen to your tone, you must go to Fumio Funakoshi tonight to compete?" Chen Zhen said.

Luo Tai saw Chen Zhen's thoughts, he straightened his body and said, "Yes, please ask Master Chen to tell me his address." ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "Brother Luo should not interfere in this matter. ”

Luo Tai naturally refused to agree, and he immediately said: "Are you afraid that I will be killed by the boat? ”

Chen Zhen didn't speak, but his eyes had already told Luo Tai that this was what he meant.

"Do I have to go? You know, I can investigate the entire cause of Huo Daxia's death, can't I find a Fumio Funakoshi? Rotai said. However, he knew in his heart that it was really hard to find.

Luo Tai thought that Fumio Funakoshi and Tsuyoshi Fujita in the movie were not all the way, and he did not necessarily live in Hongkou Dojo. With Funakoshi's solitary xìng ge, it is very likely that he will find a remote place to live on his own and prepare for this competition wholeheartedly.

As for why Chen Zhen was able to know, this point was completely guessed by Luo Tai. However, looking at Chen Zhen's expression just now, he must have known.

"Brother Luo, if you have to find Fumio Funakoshi, then you might as well try with me first, if you are not my opponent, then I advise you not to go." Chen Zhen finally said this.

Luo Tai nodded, and continued, "Then I'll try." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them retreated from Huo Yuanjia's mausoleum step by step. When she came to the open space in front of the curtain, Chūn Li watched without moving.

"Offended." Chen Zhen said.

"Concession."

The two walked slowly towards zhōngyāng, they stretched out their hands into the air, and at the moment of light touch, Chen Zhen only hit Luo Tai's left rib with a straight punch, the fist was direct and simple, without any fancy and with a lot of strength.

"Smack!" Rotai blocked the punch. Then the other hand, clenched into a fist, smashed directly into Chen Zhen's head. Chen Zhen dodged the punch, but saw Luo Tai's body swing and flew his knees against Chen Zhen's chest.

Chen Zhen flicked his hand and pushed Luo Tai's knee away. Then following this force, his body turned, and the sweeping leg kicked at Luo Tai's lower plate, which was extremely fast. Rotai was swept away!

But at the same time as he fell to the ground. His body straightened, his ankle hooked, and he kicked Chen Zhen in the shoulder. Chen Zhen took two steps back, and Luo Tai also stood up.

"Good kung fu." Chen Zhen sighed. He felt that Luo Tai's boxing skills were very much in line with the modern fighting in his heart, not focusing on good-looking and fancy, but on being fast and practical!

"You too!" Rotai replied.
