Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lost Fist
Street fighting has always been a battle that requires a high quality of individual soldiers. For ordinary armies and soldiers, the terrain of the city is too complex to take advantage of the advantages of army grouping. Therefore, the major powers of later generations have invariably spent huge sums of money to build special forces. In order to adapt to individual combat in complex situations.
As for the Zodiac congregation, although they have no bottom line, although they are brutal and barbaric, the quality of their individual soldiers is really low. In these small alleys of Shanghai Tang, the reaction speed cannot keep up with the trajectory of Chen Tian's movement. Often before he could react, he was deceived by Chen Tian at close quarters, and after receiving a heavy hand, he lost his ability to fight. Chen Tian also knew that most of these people were traitors, so he was ruthless and focused on the key points. As soon as the blow comes out, he can't care so much whether he is dead or alive.
Chen Tianlian's boxing method is one of the Chinese martial arts with a long heritage. It is important to be light, agile and flexible. More than half of the kung fu on the body is on the waist and legs, the feet are thick, the power frame is upright, and the force is sufficient. This set of kung fu is unfolded, flashing and moving, jumping and jumping, and the speed is beyond words.
And the zodiac members couldn't touch Chen Tian's trajectory at all, and after a few people died, they gradually formed a trend of encirclement. Chen Tian had a clear mind and was ready to escape from the beginning. Helplessly, more than a hundred Zodiac congregations came, and Chang Yuqing's lair was bombed, and at this moment, he did not hesitate to spend money to pull out all potential threats.
Therefore, these more than ten targets, regardless of whether they have the ability to resist or not, Chang Yuqing has sent a team of nearly 100 people! In order to form a devastating trend.
But even so, Chang Yuqing didn't expect this Chen Tian to hide so deeply. On weekdays, he is just an ordinary civilian who survives on the docks, but at this time, he has lost his disguise, but he is a Chinese generation of martial arts masters.
The residential buildings in Shanghai are mainly represented by Shikumen. Integrating Chinese and Western cultures, although it is still the surrounding area that Chinese are accustomed to, and the courtyard houses are self-contained, they no longer pay attention to carving, and the living rooms of civilians do not have too much money to pay attention to. We can only pursue simplicity and practicality. In the stone door frame, there is a thick wooden door leaf with black lacquer solid. The sloping roof is undulating with brick-red tiles.
When the members of the Zodiac Society rounded up Chen Tian, they realized that the word "flying eaves and walking on the wall" was not just a legend on the rivers and lakes. Some of the members of the Zodiac Society were lying in ambush on the roof, and when they saw Chen Tian emerging from the roof of a shikumen, when they were about to aim, Chen Tian had already stepped on the roof tiles, crossed the sloping roof, and used the cover of the bulging roof to dodge a shot from the members of the Zodiac who were ambushed on the roof.
On the other side, the members of the Zodiac who were ambushed in the alley saw Chen Tian Daxi who appeared overhead, and just as they thought that Chen Tian was about to fall to the ground, Chen Tian kicked on the upright wall, like a swallow picking up water, and his body crossed an arc and fell to the other roof. It was such a mistake in judgment that the bullets missed.
Most of the members of the Zodiac Society are traitors, and a small number are Japanese ronin. Although the physical fitness is 108,000 miles away from Chen Tian, there are several Japanese ronins who are the backbone of the Inoue Mansion in the Zodiac Society, and after training by the Japanese military, their marksmanship is very good. Chen Tian's three verticals and two verticals, when he saw that he was about to escape from the encirclement of the Zodiac Society, these Japanese ronins opened fire. Not stingy with bullets.
The night was dark, and these people didn't know if they had hit. After dozens of gunshots, Chen Tian's figure disappeared in the undulations of the mountain-like roofs of the Shikumen. The people of the Zodiac Society were not reconciled, and after searching Chen Tian's room, they found nothing. However, a pool of blood was found on the roof of a shikumen.
The next day, several Japanese experts came to carefully examine the traces of the scene, found the missing bullet, and took blood samples. Then tell Chang Yuqing that the part of Chen Tian's injury should be the thigh. Unfortunately, judging from the scene, the wounds caused by the bullet should have been only abrasions. If it is a penetrating injury that causes a permanent cavity, Chen Tian's leg will be useless, and where can there be a chance to escape.
Several Japanese experts who have in-depth research on Chinese martial arts gasped after seeing Chen Tian's footsteps and judging the footwork and martial arts he used. Then suggested that Chang Yuqing should bring more bodyguards when he went out in the future.
Sanyu Qingdao said: "I know that kung fu is a thing, and sometimes it is really useful, but what kung fu can compare to a hundred and ten guns?" ”
The Japanese expert said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Chang, you should have heard of one of your Chinese boxing techniques, right?" It's called Lost Fist! ”
The voice of the Japanese is not loud, but Chang Yuqing sounds like thunder! Lost Trace Boxing may not be a prominent name, but if it is said that a generation of martial arts masters who have carried it forward in modern times - Huo Yuanjia!
Then, everyone in his generation knows about it, and everyone knows it!
Lost Trace Boxing, also known as Secret Fist or Yanqing Fist. According to legend, it was originally Shaolin Kung Fu, and Zhou Tong of the Song Dynasty was proficient in this boxing method, and later passed on the art to Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Lu Junyi, and Wu Song, each of whom is a well-known figure in history or legend.
Later, Lu Junyi awarded this boxing method to Yan Qing, and Yan Qing taught this boxing method. Therefore, the name of the rivers and lakes is Yanqing Boxing!
In later generations, hundreds of years later, it was passed to Sun Tong, a native of Yanzhou, Shandong. This person moved to Cangzhou, Hebei Province in his later years, and taught this boxing method to Huo Yuanjia's ancestors, and inherited it to Huo Yuanjia before it was carried forward again.
Lost boxing pays attention to the coordination of eyes and legs. Pay attention to the concentration of the eyes, take into account the eight directions, the eyes help the body, and the eyes help the strength. The leg method requires full strength and neatness. Most of the various gloves are composed of more than 50 movements such as various hand shapes, step types, leg methods, balance, and jumping. Its techniques, the upper limbs have throwing, shooting, rolling, captive and other striking methods, the lower limbs have jumping, intercepting, hanging, wrapping and other leg methods, with leaning, flashing, fixed, shrinking and other body methods, forming a strong offensive and defensive technology.
With this boxing technique, Huo Yuanjia defeated many Chinese and foreign martial arts masters, washing away the shame of the Chinese "sick man of East Asia". However, he was poisoned by the Japanese. When the descendants of Huo Yuanjia moved to Huo Yuanjia's tomb in later generations, they saw that his bones were all black, and there was no doubt that he was poisoned. Huo Yuanjia has many apprentices, and the most famous and authentic one is Chen Zhen. It's a pity that Chen Zhen was still killed by the Japanese.
Chen Tian is a descendant of Chen Zhen, and he was taught martial arts by Chen Zhen when he was a child. After Chen Zhen's death, he knew that he was temporarily powerless to take revenge, so he hid in Shanghai, rested at sunrise, and practiced martial arts diligently in his spare time. It has been hidden to this day.
When the Japanese entered Shanghai Tang, Chen Tian wanted to make a move, but he thought about it, but he felt that it was better to continue to hide. Individual bravery is of little use in the face of a well-established army, and it is better to assassinate two high-ranking Japanese officials by surprise. Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, the Japanese and traitors would make the first move!
