Chapter 59: The Apostles I

Outside the customs, the qualifications of the foreign merchants in the underworld are divided into four classes, A, B, C, D, and the first number of foreign businessmen is the decision-maker of the underworld, the number is scarce, and there are special apostles in the underworld at their disposal, but their identities are kept secret, and even other foreign businessmen do not know that they are A-name, because they do not wear the A-brand jade plate on weekdays, they only carry the B-brand jade card.

Although there is no special Apostle of the Underworld who can control the call, the number of bodyguards can be hired, and the number of people cannot exceed two, but it must pass the investigation and review of the A-name Merchant and the Apostle of the Underworld. They can participate in discussions on matters big and small, and they can put forward their own opinions, but they don't have any decision-making power.

Yi Mochen is a C-brand businessman, but he is only qualified to do business in the underworld, and is protected by the underworld, if there is any conflict with people outside the underworld, the underworld can come forward to solve it, but in the underworld, each transaction needs to pay a heavy tax of 20%.

The T-shaped foreign merchant belongs to the lowest level of the fourth class, and the night merchant mentioned earlier also refers to this kind of people, they can not buy and sell anytime and anywhere like the first three classes, and can only take advantage of the opening of the underworld to collect and sell strange items at night, and then transfer them to the underworld apostle to review the goods, according to the quality of the goods to judge whether they are qualified to enter the underworld to set up stalls, and like the C-brand, they need to pay a heavy tax of 20%.

In the underworld, it is the most difficult process to upgrade from a T-brand to a C-brand, and some foreign businessmen who are not very smart and unlucky will even take more than ten years. And from the C number to the B number, it completely depends on his own accumulation in the underworld, but also depends on the quality level of all kinds of rare objects he sells, if there are more than ten first-class strange goods every year, for three consecutive years, you can directly upgrade to the B number.

But it can be promoted to the B number is basically the end, the reason is very simple, the A brand is a son inherits the father's business, unless there is a major change, otherwise the A number will not add new members.

Regardless of inside and outside the gates, almost everyone on the rivers and lakes has traded with the underworld, for the chasers, it is the safest to hand over the strange goods they find to foreign merchants to sell in the underworld, and for other sects, open coffins, sew thousands of corpses, earth phases, and even lonely, capture, and the underworld is also the best place to collect intelligence and clues.

The Apostle of the Underworld raised his hand to catch Yi Mochen's jade plate, rubbed his thumb on it, and distinguished the authenticity of it, plus the secret words that Yi Mochen said before, at this time he completely confirmed Yi Mochen's identity as a C-number foreign businessman.

The Apostle of the Underworld said: "According to the rules, you can't bring them in, but since you use the qualifications of the C-brand foreign merchant as a guarantee, I have nothing to say." ”

Yi Mochen nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

After Yi Mochen finished speaking, he led Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan inside, but the Apostle of the Underworld City suddenly raised his hand to stop them.

Yi Mochen wondered: "What?" Don't you have nothing to say? ”

"I don't have anything to say, but according to the rules, I must know who they are and what they are." The Apostle of the Underworld City said coldly, looking at Li Yunfan first, "Who is he?" ”

Yi Mochen said: "Li Yunfan, his father is Li Qingxiang, the former cargo chaser, everyone in the underworld knows about it. ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said, "He is him, his father is his father, and I am asking about his identity." ”

Li Yunfan replied: "I am from the Security Bureau. ”

The Apostle of the Underworld raised his eyes and frowned: "The official office of the Yamen cannot enter the Underworld City, this is a dead rule. ”

Yi Mochen looked at Li Yunfan and nodded at him, there is no way to break this rule.

Li Yunfan hesitated, reached out and groped in his close-fitting pocket for a while, took out a jade palm, and handed it to the Apostle of the Underworld: "I am also a cargo chaser." ”

After Li Yunfan took out this object, Yi Mochen and Tang Qianlin were stunned, they didn't expect him to have a token of the chaser? Is it his father's?

The Apostle of the Underworld took the jade palm and looked at it carefully: "How do you confirm that this thing is yours?" ”

"Under the division from Bei Zihong." Li Yunfan said lightly, "This is the token that he handed me over to me when I was apprenticed." ”

Hearing Bei Zihong's three words, the Apostle of the Underworld was shocked, thought for a while, and asked: "Then let me ask you, what is the strange goods that Bei Zihong has produced in the Underworld this year?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "He didn't ship this year, my master ships once every five years in the underworld, the last shipment was three years ago, when he sold a Khitan bone knife, this knife is used by the Khitan royal family for sacrifice, the blade is made of the bones of the prayer cow, there is only one in the world, and the price is three thousand taels of gold." ”

Yi Mochen looked at Li Yunfan dumbfounded beside him, not only because of Bei Zihong's name, but also because the items sold by Bei Zihong were all confidential, and there were only A-brand foreign merchants and their subordinates in the underworld

The apostles knew the details.

Hearing this, the Apostle of the Underworld said: "Okay, you are indeed Bei Zihong's apprentice, but I didn't expect Bei Zihong to accept apprentices, since this is the case, I have a reluctant request, I want to have a deal with you." ”

Li Yunfan was surprised: "Tricks? ”

Yi Mochen hurriedly said: "There is no such rule, right?" ”

"The rules are set by people, you are unlucky, I am guarding the door today, I just added this rule." The Apostle of the Underworld clenched his fist and said, "Bei Zihong's bone-breaking fist is famous all over the world, I want to see it." ”

Bei Zihong's bone-breaking fist is outside the gate, whether it is a pagan or an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, everyone knows it. This set of boxing methods is Bei Zihong from the Khitan ancient boxing method to understand, no matter people and animals, after the boxing can not see any scars on the surface of the body, but the bones of the middle boxing part will be broken, belonging to the extremely vicious inner boxing.

Li Yunfan said: "I didn't bring a weapon. ”

Tang Qianlin felt strange, did he still need weapons for boxing?

Yi Mochen explained: "The weapon that Yun Fan said is a pair of special gloves, and if you don't wear that kind of gloves, you can't exert the true power of the Bone-Breaking Fist. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Gloves?" Why? ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said: "Any kind of punch, if it hits a person's body, the person's skin and muscles will absorb most of the damage, and after wearing that kind of glove, the power of the Bonebreaker Fist will be fully exerted." I'll lend it to you. ”

After speaking, the Apostle of the Underworld took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and threw them to Li Yunfan.

Li Yunfan caught it, looked at it carefully, and said to the Apostle of the Underworld: "This is my imitation, it is definitely not as good as the handmade by Bei Zihong's predecessors, but it will be done, come on." ”

After speaking, the Apostle of the Underworld opened the posture, Tang Qianlin and Yi Mochen looked at the posture and blurted out: "Hong Family Fist? ”

Hearing this, the Apostle of the Underworld sneered, changed his posture, and didn't know whether he was deliberately showing off or deliberately playing tricks, and put on five starting styles: Liu Jiaquan, Cai Jiaquan, Li Jiaquan and Mo Jiaquan.

Li Yunfan said: "I didn't expect you to even know how to do southern boxing of the five major schools in Guangdong, but the posture is just a posture." ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said: "You can know if you are fighting or not." ”

After speaking, the Apostle of the Underworld stepped forward with his fist and fought with Li Yunfan, and during the fight between the two, Li Yunfan did not fight back, and kept dodging and observing. He found that in addition to the southern boxing of the five major schools of Guangdong, the Apostles of the Underworld also used Cai Li Fo, Tiger and Crane Twin Forms, Xia Jia Boxing, Wing Chun, Pak Mei, Nanji, Confucian Boxing and so on.

Tang Qianlin was also surprised to see from the side, guessing the identity of this Apostle of the Underworld, because the punches he used were not just stances.

Then, Li Yunfan avoided and counted there: "Zhou Family Boxing, Dragon Slaying Boxing, Hongmen Fuhu Boxing, Xiao Ceda!" You even know how to boxing in Guangxinan, who are your predecessors? ”

The Apostle of the Underworld City retracted his momentum, took two steps back, and said, "I can do most of the Southern Fists, do you want me to use them all?" That's it, I use Yuejia Fist, you use Bone Breaking Fist, no problem, right? ”

Li Yunfan put on gloves at this time, but he didn't put on any posture, just stood there and said: "Senior, you take the lead." ”

Yuejia boxing to attack-based, supplemented by defense, both offensive and defensive, strong and powerful, focus on practicality, usually the left hand is virtual, the right hand is real, with flexible footwork, and strive to defeat the opponent after five strokes, if the five moves can not take advantage, it will turn to attack and defend, is a kind of boxing method that is more entanglement in the south boxing.

The Apostle of the Underworld suddenly made a move, raised his left hand and struck at Li Yunfan's throat, but Li Yunfan dodged half an inch and raised his fist directly towards the left fist of the Apostle of the Underworld.

At the moment when Li Yunfan's fist almost hit the left fist of the Apostle of the Underworld, his fist stopped.

The Apostle of the Underworld withdrew: "I lost, how do you know that my left fist is a real move and not a false move?" ”

"It's very simple, because you clearly told me that when you want to use Yuejiaquan, I knew that you set a set for me, everyone knows that Yuejiaquan's left hand is weak, and the right hand is real, so your first move is a real move." Li Yunfan said with a smile, "If I don't avoid it, I will hit the punch, and if I dodge, I will hit the right fist, because for the sake of insurance, at the moment of starting to take a step, turn the Yuejia fist into the Hongjia fist, and use both fists to defeat the enemy with one move." ”

The Apostle of the Underworld nodded: "Famous teachers are high-level apprentices, and fist and foot kung fu also rely on brains, the best way to resolve this move is to hit it hard, but if you don't know how to break the bone fist, you will suffer from my fist." ”

Li Yunfan just laughed, hugged his fists and said, "Senior, can we pass?" ”

The Apostle of the Underworld nodded: "You two can, you can stay here." ”

Yi Mochen pointed at the Apostle of the Underworld City and said, "Hey, senior, there is no such thing as you, right?" It's too adaptive, didn't you say it's okay? Just fight him. ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said coldly: "I said, the rules are set by people. I had encountered the Hunt many years ago in Guannei, and I had seen their Xiafeng marksmanship, and I lost that time, so I wanted to see if I had improved over the years. ”

Tang Qianlin smiled: "If I win, will my seniors let me go?" ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said: "Of course, if you win against me, I will let you go, and I will let you go." ”

"Okay." After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he retreated directly, and when he took down his bag and grabbed the wind ruler in it, he took out a pistol and aimed it at the Apostle of the Underworld, "Senior, do you think you can avoid my bullets?" ”

The Apostle of the Underworld was not angry, and suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, it is a catch, and it will really take advantage of loopholes." ”

Tang Qianlin said with a smile: "Senior, you said it yourself, if I win you, you will let me go, but you didn't say in any way." ”

The Apostle of the Underworld sighed, "Sometimes cleverness can work. ”

Tang Qianlin put down the pistol: "Senior, then, did I win or lose?" ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said: "You win, the fastest way to defeat your opponent in this era is with a gun." ”

Tang Qianlin squatted down with a smile, reassembled the Xia Feng spear, and stood still with the gun: "So, senior, let's have a fair fight, right?" ”

Yi Mochen hurriedly said, "Are you sick?" Idle and have nothing to do? They all say you won. ”

Li Yunfan said beside him: "Mochen, Old Tang did that just now, just for the sake of insurance. ”

Yi Mochen wondered: "What do you mean?" ”

The Apostle of the Underworld said: "This catcher is worried that I will cheat in the future, so he let me lose first, and promised him that he can pass, and then, he will fight me fairly, first, he has achieved his goal, and secondly, he has also made me fulfill my wish, and the thing has been done, and everyone will not suffer." ”

Tang Qianlin grinned and said: "Senior, I really want to see your kung fu, I have never met a master like my senior, and my hands are itchy." ”

The Apostle of the Underworld took off the long knife wrapped in white cloth on his back, and after taking it out, he put the long knife on his shoulder and said, "So, what kind of knife technique do I use?" ”

The others saw that the long knife was large and heavy, and the blade was wide and thick, twice as large as an ordinary single knife, and they did not know what kind of weapon it was.

Tang Qianlin said with a gun: "Feel free." ”

The Apostle of the Underworld thought for a while and said, "I won't delay your time, let's see within three moves, I'll use the Mai knife method." ”

When Tang Qianlin heard this, he was overjoyed: "Great." ”

Because the Mai knife technique has long been lost, Tang Qianlin has only heard of it, and has never seen it, for those who learn martial arts, this is simply a generous gift.
