Chapter 37 Fighting Meeting

In 1989, the lunar calendar, the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. A young man's figure appeared at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain.

This young man was on Chinese New Year's Eve, and Li Qianxiu, who was set by the master and the master of the wind in a few words, went out alone to explore the red world. The destination, the two did not set it, the only warning is: the purpose of this solo trip is not to make money, but to experience!

Now Qian Xiu is sixteen years old, and he is full of the vitality that a young man should have. In particular, a pair of eyes flashing with spirituality highlight the youthful and old age and good spirit of this son.

The night before leaving, Master's thousand instructions were still in my ears: "Humility, when you go out alone, you should be calm when you encounter things, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world, as long as everything is worthy of our Dao heart." In addition, today's rivers and lakes are not ancient, you must remember that when you meet people, you can only say three points, and you can't throw away all your hearts......

"After you leave, I will also return to Qiyun Mountain as soon as possible to rectify the affairs of the sect. In order to prevent both of us from being sad, I won't go down the mountain with you. Regarding the Xuanmen Golden Order, I can't give it to you yet, because you don't have the ability to protect it yet. The most important thing, no matter where you are, you must remember that on the 10th day of October this year, you must rush to Maoshan in Jiangsu, and I will wait for you there when the time comes, and we will participate in the battle meeting together. ”

In his pocket, he had a thousand yuan from his master before parting. Thinking of Master's instructions in his mind, Qian Xiu didn't have much sadness about parting. There is a feeling that a sleepy bird has come out of its cage and escaped a wild horse! What a young man does not know what it feels like! As everyone knows, how many bumps and bumps lie ahead, and how many bloody winds await him!

"The sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to leap. Jianghu, I'm coming!" Qian Xiu shouted, finally calming down in excitement: "Where am I going? Liang Shengjin, the Tianjie of Maoshan, knows me, and if I bump into him in Jiangsu, it won't be fun. ”

"Oh, by the way, I owe those six gamblers a promise. I don't know what happened to those ghost brothers, and whether they gamble or not? Okay, I'll go to Tangshan, Hebei. When he had the opportunity, he fulfilled the promise he owed them to the ghost brothers. In addition, Tangshan is still close to my hometown, so I can go back when I have time to see my parents, Dabao and Baohua. Qian Xiu thought of this in his heart, and without hesitation at the moment, he directly bought a ticket to Tangshan, Hebei.

When passing by the Yellow River Bridge in Shandong again, Qian Xiu remembered the situation half a year ago, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. I am deeply ashamed of my youthful frivolity. Half a year, although it is not a long time, Qian Xiu has already undergone a radical change. He is no longer the little child who needs Master's maintenance everywhere. has grown into a master of the Xuanmen who can catch ghosts and subdue demons. Although he has not yet experienced the wind and rain, he is confident that he will grow into a towering tree and become a pillar of society!

Tangshan, Hebei Province, is a modern city of heavy industry. More than 10 years ago, the magnitude 7.8 earthquake. It is a devastating disaster, a terrible human tragedy. How many parents have lost their children overnight, how many husbands and wives have been separated by yin and yang overnight, and there is no day to see each other again, and how many young boys and girls have become orphans overnight, forever losing their father's love and mother's love. The people of Tangshan, who have suffered many disasters, have lost their former homes overnight.

But the heroic people of Tangshan did not compromise in the face of disaster. Relying on their own industrious hands, under the concern of the people of the whole country, under the correct leadership of the party and the state, and with the selfless support of sister cities, they turned their grief into strength and rose to the occasion to overcome difficulties. In just over 10 years, we have handed over to the people one after another answers that have satisfied the central authorities, the people of the whole country, and even the whole world.

Factories have resumed safe production, majestic high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, and busy highways have crisscrossed the city. "Ten years to build a city" is the best portrayal of Tangshan after the earthquake. It is reported that the reconstruction of Tangshan seems to have been given an award by the United Nations!

Walking in this magical land, my heart is full of awe for the people of Tangshan. A team, a city, a nation, or even a country; In the face of natural and man-made disasters, we must make selfless dedication to "one side is in trouble, all sides support". If we fail to do this, the home will not be home, and the country will not be a country!

"I should have found a job first and settled down. Qian Xiu thought to himself: "Although the 1,000 yuan given by Master didn't cost much, I can't sit back and eat empty! But I don't have any skills other than knowing spells, what should I do?"

Qian Xiu thought as he walked, and slowly entered the center of Tangshan. Walking in the modern city, Qian Xiu looked left and right, and felt that everything was very fresh! Because it was the first month of the year, everywhere was still filled with a strong "New Year's flavor." The streets are lit up everywhere, draped in red and green. On the left, there is a big Yangge, on the right, there is a lion dance, and not far away there is a group of martial arts. A variety of folk performances fill the streets. On the street, people are smiling, all kinds of blessings, warm greetings, and a cheerful, peaceful and relaxed festive atmosphere is revealed everywhere!

"Quick, quick, go over there and take a look, those two groups of martial arts will seem to be "fighting the meeting"!" With the surge of people, Qian Xiu was involuntarily brought to the front of the two groups of martial arts clubs.

"Wuhui", an ancient form of folk art performance. Most of them appear around the Spring Festival, and they are basically disbanded after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The number of triplets generally ranges from a dozen to twenty people. They wore uniforms and carried knives, guns, clubs, axes, hooks and forks. During the meeting, flags fluttered in the wind, gongs and drums were beaten, and martial arts performances were carried out in the streets and alleys.

Folk martial arts meetings, most of which are rehearsed before the Spring Festival and perform after the Spring Festival, are called "out of the meeting". Most of the initiators are respected elders in a certain village, or people with several years of experience in organizing meetings, and they are called "leaders". Almost all of the participants are from the same village, and people with a special love for martial arts. Called the "congregation" Sanjiawu will perform the clothes, called "uniforms" Generally, before the Spring Festival, there will be a person who goes out in advance to make an appointment, called "stickers". After the Spring Festival, the head of the meeting will arrange the route in advance according to the person who spread the post, and lead the martial arts meeting to perform.

This form of performance is deeply loved by the masses. It not only adds to the festive atmosphere, but also sends holiday blessings to every family. And the head of the congregation and the congregation can still make money to a greater or lesser extent. However, the performances are generally ornamental and embroidered legs.

During the Spring Festival, there are many rules because of the gathering of various forms of performances. For example, when two groups of Yangge meet, they must be twisted together for a while, which is called "Douyangge". The meeting of two groups of lion dances is called "lion fighting". And the two groups of martial arts will meet, which is called "fighting meeting". Various "meetings" are organizations in which people get together temporarily and cannot exist for a long time. So, it's not easy to manage. Since ancient times, there has been a saying among the people that "it is better to manage a thousand armies, not to care for a while".

When Qian Xiu walked to the two groups of martial arts with the flow of people, the two groups of martial arts meetings had already begun to "fight the meeting". I saw a young man in a black uniform and a middle-aged man in a white practice uniform, already fighting together. The middle-aged man held a stick and held a sword, and the two people exchanged swords with sticks, and the fight was very lively! The middle-aged man made a move to "split Huashan" and raised his sword to slash at the top of the young man's head. The young man immediately dragged his stick with both hands and raised it above his head, blocking the middle-aged sword. Homeopathic move "swept thousands of troops" and attacked the waist of the middle-aged. From time to time, the crowd erupted in bursts of cheers.

As he fought, the boy gradually lost his physical strength, and his movements became slower and slower. Taking advantage of the move, the young man stopped and said to the middle-aged man: "Brother Cui, let's go down, let's replace someone else, I'm bored." ”

"It's boring, what kind of martial arts meeting are you participating in, today I will let my fathers and grandfathers see, is it your martial arts in Dawangzhuang, or is it better for our martial arts in Kaiping District?"
