Chapter 10 Chess Meets Opponents
"I've already arranged for your master to accept the challenge of the martial arts hall."
The next night, Zuo Xiaoyou, who stayed at Hong Zhennan's house for dinner, heard the news.
Put down the dishes and chopsticks, and nodded left and right: "Thank you, Hongbo, when?" ”
"At ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, I will have a men's teahouse." Hong Zhennan said, "Let your master come early, don't be late." ”
"Okay." Left and right nodded.
"Hmm." Hong Zhennan picked up the dishes and chopsticks, just ate a few bites of rice, and asked very casually, "How is your master's strength?" How many can ordinary big men fight? ”
"It's hard to say." Zuo Xiaoyou thought for a moment and said: "I'm a junior, so it's not good to evaluate the master, but the master's boxing skills are very powerful, and a person like Aki can fight a dozen at a time." ”
"Oh?" Hong Zhennan looked at Zuo Xiaoyou with suspicious eyes: "Is it so powerful?" ”
"To put it irreverently, I think my master is no worse than Hong Bo." Left small right road.
"Impossible!" didn't wait for Hong Zhennan to speak, the girl didn't like to listen: "My father is the most powerful martial artist in the whole Xiangjiang, and your master is definitely not as powerful as my father." ”
"Big sister, don't be rude." Although her daughter's words made Hong Zhennan very happy, she still put on a majestic look: "There are people outside the world, maybe Ah You's master is really better than me." ”
"Not necessarily." The girl wrinkled her nose.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her and said with a smile: "If Hong Bo is ten years younger, my master will definitely not be an opponent." But because of Hong Bo's age, coupled with his injuries, I dare to say that my master is no worse than Hong Bo. Because my master once said that there is no strongest person in the world, because no matter how strong a person is, he will grow old one day, and when he is old, any young man can beat him down. ”
"Your master is right." Hearing this, Hong Zhennan nodded approvingly: "Fists are afraid of being young, this is an unbreakable truth." But no matter how powerful he was when he was young, when he was old, he couldn't walk, and anyone could easily knock him down. Your master has such insight, it's not easy! ”
"Don't hide it from Humber." Zuo Xiaoyou said with a little pride: "When my master was in Foshan, he was known as the No. 1 master in Foshan, and when the Japanese came over, my master beat ten Japanese karate masters at a time, and they were powerless to fight back. ”
"Oh?" Hong Zhennan paused chopsticks in his hand: "Your master is really so powerful?" ”
"Bragging." The girl pouted: "I don't believe it." ”
"Big sister, don't make trouble." Hong Zhennan's wife couldn't stand it anymore and reproached: "When men speak, women don't interject." ”
The girl pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Huh." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled, sandwiched a piece of tender tofu for the girl, turned his head and said to Hong Zhennan: "My master is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Hong Bo you ......" Looking at Hong Zhennan's white hair, Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "So I think that if you fight, maybe Hong Bo can gain the upper hand at first, but slowly, my master will be evenly matched, but if he fights again, Hong Bo may lose." ”
"You're smearing your master's face." Hong Zhennan is a big brother-level figure in the end, and there is a spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones: "Don't look at my age, but it's not too difficult to defeat your master." ”
"It's not helpful to say more." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "If you want to know how powerful my master is, you will know if you try it in person the day after tomorrow." After a pause: "But there is only time for a stick of incense in the whole audience, Hong Bo, you have to hurry up, otherwise I am afraid that when the time comes, you will not be able to tell the winner." ”
"Then I'm going to take a look." Hong Zhennan's fighting spirit is fierce, he has never had an enemy in his hands in Xiangjiang for many years. I didn't expect a Ip Man to pop up now. Opponents are rare, but he wants to see if Ip Man is worthy of being his opponent?
After dinner, Zuo Xiaoyou told the Hong family about the Three Kingdoms again, and when he saw that it was very late, he said goodbye and went home.
After arriving home, Zuo Xiaoyou told Ip Man about Hong Zhennan's personal appearance the day after tomorrow, so that Ip Man could get ready.
"Is Hong Zhennan strong?" Ip Man asked.
"I think Uncle Hong and Master should be in between." Zuo Xiaoyou replied.
Ip Man has not been defeated in all these years, and he is somewhat conceited, but now when he hears his apprentice say that there is a master who is in the middle of his life, he will inevitably feel a little more excited.
"Then I want to see how powerful Hong Zhennan is." Even if you are an otaku, there are times when your fighting spirit is high!
In the blink of an eye, it's time for the Battle of the Round Table.
On this day, Ip Man did not open the museum to teach apprentices, and brought more than a dozen apprentices to the Denan Teahouse.
At this time, the entire hall of the teahouse was covered by Hong Zhennan, and there was a huge round table in the middle of the hall, surrounded by upside-down wooden benches. On the periphery are the boxers and disciples of various martial arts halls in Xiangjiang.
These boxers sat on chairs and drank tea, and did not forget to brag to their apprentices.
"I've fought dozens of times in this kind of ring before, but it's not a stool underneath, it's all knives!"
After the boxer finished speaking, the surrounding group of apprentices all showed admiration, which was very funny.
Just when the boxers were muttering and bragging, Ip Man led the apprentices here.
In the original movie, only Ip Man came alone in this round table battle, and he didn't bring half an apprentice. But because of the intervention of Zuo Xiaoyou, this time Ip Man brought all the disciples over.
In the words of Zuo Xiaoyou: "It's good to let the juniors and disciples increase their knowledge." ”
The round table battle must accept the challenges of various sects. The competition must be very exciting, Ye Man thought that this was also an opportunity for the apprentices to increase their knowledge, so he agreed to Zuo Xiaoyou's proposal.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hall, I looked inside. Aki was waving at him: "Right brother." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile. When he saw Aki, he also saw Hong Zhennan, and hurriedly went over to say hello: "Uncle Hong, I'm bothering you this time." ”
"It's a matter of duty." Hong Zhennan's eyes fell on Ip Man, with his bearing, he felt that Ip Man was a master.
"This is your master Ip Man?"
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou immediately invited Ye Man over and said, "Master, this is Hong Bo." ”
"Master Hong." Ip Man immediately clenched his fists and surrendered his hands.
Hong Zhennan stood up and saluted back: "Master Ye." Let me first tell you the rules of the competition, you have to stand on the table to accept the challenge of the masters, you surrender and lose, and fall outside the table is considered a loss. After a stick of incense is burned, if you are still standing on the table, you will pass the test. ”
"Understood." Ye Man turned his head to look at the masters of the other martial arts halls, a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates, and they were not good at looking at them.
Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Master, you go up!" My disciples and I are here to cheer for Master. ”
"Master, knock them all down, Wing Chun is the strongest!" Huang Liang shouted.
"Huh?" Everyone present frowned, and Hong Zhennan's face was not very good-looking.
"Shut up!" Zuo Xiaoyou slapped Huang Liang on the back of the head and reprimanded: "There is no strongest boxing technique in the world, only the strongest person!" Don't underestimate other martial arts, every master here can beat you ten! ”
"I ......"
Huang Liang was not convinced, and before he could speak, Ye Man stopped him: "Ah Liang, what your senior brother said is right, there is no strongest martial art in the world, only the strongest person." Don't underestimate the world. ”
"Yes, Master." Ye Man has spoken, and no matter how big the grievances are, he can only put them away and make a promise.
Ye Man went to the round table very casually, but Hong Zhennan said to Zuo Xiaoyou who was standing beside him: "Ah You, what you just said is very good." There is no strongest punch in the world, only the strongest people. ”
Zuo Xiaoyou said: "In the Xiangjiang martial arts world, the strongest person should be Hong Bo." But my master is not bad. ”
"Stinky boy, I'll go up and beat your master all over the ground to find his teeth later, see what else you say?" Hong Zhennan scolded with a smile.
"You'd better go up later! A stick of incense has been too long, and I am afraid that you will not have enough physical strength and will be beaten by my master. ”
"Stinky boy."
At first, Hong Zhennan was still disdainful, but after Ip Man easily defeated the two masters of the boxing gym, Hong Zhennan's face changed. Turning his head to look at Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile on his face, he said in his heart: This kid really didn't lie to me. Ip Man, really strong.
"Which other master is going up?" After the first two masters were beaten down, there was no third person up for a long time, and Hong Zhennan couldn't help but open his mouth to urge Cui. But the other masters looked at their noses and noses, and no one went up.
Rubbish!
Cursing in his heart, Hong Zhennan stood up and jumped onto the round table with great momentum. didn't say hello, went up to a round of fast attack, and fought with Ip Man.
The two of them fisted and kicked each other, and the fight was very intense, and everyone under the table was dazzled and dumbfounded.
can fight evenly with Hong Zhennan...... What is the origin of this Ye Wen!?
Hong Zhennan and Ye Man fought for a while, then split into two sides, clenched their fists and arched their hands: "Master Ye." ”
"Master Hong."
"Please!"
"Please."
With a loud shout, the two fought again. Hong fist opened and closed, and Hong Zhennan also drank violently; Wing Chun was close to the body, and Ip Man used all kinds of small pushing and blocking methods to resist Hung Zhennan's attack.
As expected by Zuo Xiaoyou, Hong Zhennan's strength is actually a little stronger than Ip Man, but Hong Zhennan is old, and he has been sick in the past few years, which has led to his poor physical fitness, and he was able to suppress Ip Man a little at first, but as time went by, Hong Zhennan's physical strength declined, and Ip Man relied on his youth to gradually regain his disadvantage, and he was equal to Hong Zhennan's killing.
If it continues like this, Hong Zhennan will be knocked out by Ip Man sooner or later because of the decline in physical strength, but fortunately, the round table battle only has a stick of incense time, plus the delay of the first two people, as Hong Zhennan and Ip Man stepped on the round table, the incense burned out, and the two finally tied.
In the applause and cheers of the audience, Ip Man undisputed that he had joined the Xiangjiang martial arts community and could officially open his apprenticeship.
During the fight between the two, no one noticed that a young man held up a camera and took a picture of the two fighting. So the next day, almost everyone in Xiangjiang knew that Xiangjiang had a Wing Chun Ip Man and a tie with Hong Zhennan.
Wing Chun is on fire, and Ip Man is also on fire.
