Chapter 60: Chen Zhen
After the competition, no matter how sensational the outside world was, Su Ming just returned to Luo Tuan and accompanied Li Shuwen to spend the New Year peacefully. After the second dragon raised his head in February, even though Su Ming was very reluctant, he also said goodbye to Li Shuwen and was about to leave for Shanghai.
This time I said goodbye, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again. Su Ming turned over and bowed, and said, "Once the disciple goes this time, I don't know when I will be able to return, and I ask the master to take care of his health." ”
Li Shuwen felt Su Ming's strong reluctance, but he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "The man is ambitious in all directions, how can he shrink in this small village all day long." If you are successful in martial arts, you should serve the motherland, go quickly, and don't be a child. ”
Su Ming also got up and left, knowing that this place called Luo Tuan had already fallen into his heart and would never be forgotten.
Cangxian County is about 1,000 kilometers away from Shanghai. Su Ming went all the way south, out of Hebei Province, to Shandong. After Shandong, it went to Jiangsu, and finally to Shanghai. I was not in a hurry all the way, and I walked for a full month before I arrived in Shanghai.
On the first day of the first lunar month, he defeated the Japanese sword god Chiba Kaedeichi, and Chiba Kaedeichi died on the spot. After the news of this incident spread, it caused a great sensation in both China and Japan. Among them, especially in the martial arts world, some boxers even said that in addition to the "invincible generals of North Li and South Korea", there is another "Su invincible".
And after defeating Chiba Kaede, Su Ming's spirit seemed to have undergone another baptism, and his whole temperament changed greatly. At a stop on the road, as long as you are not someone who is extremely familiar with him, it is impossible to recognize him by a photograph alone.
Along the way, I have seen many beautiful scenery and beautiful rivers and mountains. A month later, Su Ming finally arrived in Shanghai at this time.
During the Republic of China, Shanghai was a legendary city and occupied an important position. At this time it was 1925, and Shanghai was still under Chinese administration, but there were concessions from the Western powers, which were divided into two. One is called the Shanghai Public Concession, which is jointly administered by Britain and the United States. One is the French Concession in Shanghai, which is the French Concession in Shanghai.
The Japanese Concession in Shanghai was not actually a formal Japanese Concession, but a customary name for the Japanese Ghetto in Hongkou, Shanghai. Around 1916, the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry set up a Japanese arrest unit, and later dozens of Japanese patrols were in place to take over public security affairs in the Hongkou area.
Later, because of the student labor movement, Japan sent marines to Shanghai under the pretext of protecting overseas Chinese and stationed in the Hongkou area, which is the source of the Japanese army in the plot.
When Su Ming arrived in Shanghai, it was the beginning of April, and it was the season when spring flowers bloomed and warblers flew. At this time, Shanghai was the financial center of Asia, and there were many banks. Black and white raw materials are continuously transported in by sea and land, and the port center is busy day and night. Merchants spend money in various high-consumption places, the world's ** is full of ten miles of foreign markets, the number of luxury buildings and villas is huge, but the consumption of foreign imported foreign wine is higher than that of Paris, France. Amazing luxury living is unmatched by Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore combined.
Then remove these glamorous surfaces, but the working people at the bottom of Shanghai are still precarious, working hard all day long, but they are still facing many difficulties.
Shanghai has all the characteristics of this era, all the difficulties and pains.
After Su Ming arrived in Shanghai, he didn't want to be noticeable, so he tried to find a way to go to the newspaper and find a career. Writing articles every day, with his developed brain domain, it is naturally easy.
When I had free time, I went to Casablanca, and naturally I also knew that the man who was known as the most powerful man in Shanghai and was respected as "Liu Ye", Liu Yutian. It was also observed that the pseudonym "Kiki", who secretly worked as a spy in Casablanca, was actually a Japanese captain named Yumi Yamaguchi. There is also the woman who sells cigarettes under the pseudonym "Huang Lan", who is actually a Japanese spy Yunzi.
Casablanca is a nightclub that is the leading entertainment industry in Shanghai at this time. All the big and famous characters in Shanghai will come here to party. As the big boss of this nightclub, Liu Yutian has a wide range of contacts and eats black and white. Even if a foreigner arrives here, he has to follow his rules.
Time passed day by day, and in mid-to-late November, Su Ming was in the newspaper office, and he immediately knew the news that Guo Songling openly rebelled against Zhang Zuolin within the Northeast Feng Department, and secretly said in his heart that the plot had finally begun.
At this time, Guo Songling was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's reward after the Second Zhifeng War. In addition, Zhang Zuolin colluded with the Japanese to negotiate the supply of arms to Feng and attack Feng Yuxiang's army by the Japanese army on the condition of "implementing the 21 Articles", which aroused Guo Songling's strong indignation.
In mid-November, Zhang Xueliang summoned Guo Songling, Li Jinglin and other generals in Tianjin to convey the secret order to attack Feng Yuxiang. Guo Songling disobeyed on the spot and bitterly stated that he could not fight again. A week later, Guo Songling was well prepared in all aspects, and sent a telegram to crusade against Zhang Zuolin and Yang Yuting, and the army officially marched to Shenyang.
At this time, Su Ming was secretly observing Casablanca every day. Finally, one day, I saw Chen Zhen, who pretended to be a young industrialist and blended into Casablanca.
Su Ming looked at it, but he was a little disappointed. Chen Zhen went to Europe to participate in World War I, experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, and now it is only the beginning of the dark energy, which is a little disappointing.
At this time, a Japanese officer had fun here and asked Kiki on the stage to sing a Japanese song. Chen Zhen drove away the original piano accompaniment and played the "Internationale", which triggered a chorus of the audience, which made several Japanese officers extremely dissatisfied.
Liu Yutian appeased several Japanese officers, but he also took a strong interest in Chen Zhen. In this way, Chen Zhen soon became a celebrity in front of Liu Yutian.
That night, Chen Zhen returned to the ruins of Jingwumen, and looking at the ruined walls, Chen Zhen remembered what he had asked his master Huo Yuanjia at the beginning: "Master, why did you establish Jingwumen?" ”
Huo Yuanjia said: "In order to protect the family and defend the country, Chen Zhen." ”
This sentence has always been deeply imprinted in his heart, although he was forced to leave the country and participate in the First World War in Europe because of the Hongkou Dojo's killing ring. After World War I, under the name of his dead comrade-in-arms Qi Tianyuan, he returned to Shanghai.
Just when he was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard some movement in his ears, and Chen Zhen immediately became alert and turned to look at the door. In the darkness, you can vaguely see someone standing in the doorway.
This person is naturally Su Ming, Su Ming looked at everything in tatters in front of him, and said, "Who knew that the Jingwu Sect, which had flourished to the extreme, would fall to this point?" Who knows that Chen Zhen not only did not die, but came back? ”
"Who?" Chen Zhen's whole body was tense, and although he was extremely vigilant in his heart, he couldn't feel the slightest breath of this person. In the darkness, the man was hazy, like a ghost. He is a man who has been on the battlefield, full of blood, and more murderous than ever, even if he is really a ghost and a ghost, he has to fight again.
As soon as the thought arose, his feet jumped, and he arrived in front of Su Ming, and his leg was like a whip, and he slammed it towards Su Ming's chest.
"It's too weak." Su Ming sighed, his footsteps did not move, and his hand landed on Chen Zhen's lap with a slight flick. With his current kung fu, seeing Chen Zhen's momentum and strength, it is naturally very easy to follow the pull, pull, and lead.
Chen Zhen's kick, even if it is a wooden stake, can be kicked off, but when he touches Su Ming, his center of gravity is immediately unstable, and his body involuntarily rolls over to stabilize his center of gravity.
"Four or two thousand pounds? Who are you? Chen Zhen's face was extremely grim, and the kung fu of the person in front of him had reached a point that he could not imagine. Even if Master Huo Yuanjia is reincarnated, he is far from being an opponent.
"I have been famous for a long time, and it is a big regret in my life that I can't meet Master Huo Yuanjia in person. When I saw Master Chen today, I didn't expect to change the face of the Lost Trace Fist beyond recognition, which is really regrettable. Su Ming sighed.
Chen Zhen didn't speak, he suddenly stepped forward and slammed a straight punch into Su Ming's door with a ferocious sound of breaking the air.
Su Ming is still a ride, a pull, a lead. Chen Zhen's center of gravity was unstable again, but as his body rotated, he secretly raised a kick, and the target was Su Ming's knee joint.
However, the moment his foot hit the knee joint, Su Ming's knee automatically bent inward. Then it flicked outward, and with a crash, Chen Zhen's body flew out and fell to the ground.
Su Ming's kung fu of holding Dan and sitting on his hips now, it is like the power of nine bulls and two tigers as ordinary people say, it is incredible. Although Chen Zhen had the dark energy, he was far from being able to resist it, and he was shocked by Su Ming's strength, so he naturally flew out.
Su Ming looked at Chen Zhen, who stood up silently, and said, "When you were in Jingwumen, Master Huo should have taught you the practice and fighting methods of Lost Trace Boxing." It's really unbelievable to practice like this. ”
Lost boxing, also known as Yanqing boxing, is an ancient Chinese boxing, its origin has long been unverifiable, and it is mostly believed to be related to Yanqing, the prodigal son of Shuibo Liangshan in the Song Dynasty. It has the characteristics of Shaolin boxing, eagle claw boxing, and Tongjian boxing, as well as some characteristics of Taijiquan, Xingyi boxing, and Baguazhang, and it can also be said to be a boxing method that cultivates both inside and outside. Its meaning is speed, suddenness, implication, rigidity and softness, virtual reality, change, etc. The strength is clumsy and clever, easy to stiffen into spirit, practice horizontal strength, opening and closing strength, shaking strength, spiral strength, etc.
Huo Yuanjia is a generation of Lost Trace Boxing masters, and at his peak, his kung fu was similar to Huang Feihong, reaching the realm of thunder. After Huo Yuanjia died, Chen Zhen groped and practiced by himself, but he was not happy to enter the realm, and he just passed the dark energy.
Su Ming looked at Chen Zhen and said, "China's ancient boxing methods are all unique. It's okay to want to learn from the strengths of others, but it's not suitable for you. Pile Gong is the foundation of everything, and if you don't practice Pile Gong well, how can you reach your master's former realm. You can get through the internal strength, and thanks to the experience of going to the battlefield. ”
When he reached the realm of Su Ming, both his eyesight and knowledge were very comparable. However, after one or two battles, I saw the basic situation of Chen Zhen.
