After the establishment of the Jingwu Association, students from all over the country came one after another, which gave Bi Laolei one more job, that is, to register the list of these martial arts personnel, Bi Laolei sat outside the martial arts hall every day, set up a table, and then sat there to register the list.

Now it is summer, the sun at noon is vicious, Bi Laolei is sleepy, so he secretly lies on the table and takes a nap. Sleeping in a good mood, Bi Laolei suddenly felt that someone was patting him, who is this, disturbing Lao Tzu's sleep. Bi Laolei raised his head impatiently, and saw a man in a Japanese samurai uniform, standing in front of Bi Laolei with his hands crossed.

"We don't accept Japanese students here, let's go" Bi Laolei said a few casual words to the Japanese, and was about to lie down there to sleep, the Japanese immediately stopped Bi Laolei, bowed to him and said in Chinese that is not yet fluent: "My name is Jiro Sato, I am a Japanese samurai, I heard that the president of the Jingwu Association, Huo Yuanjia, came to visit"

"Okay then, you come in with me" Bi Laolei stood up and yawned, letting Jiro Sato follow him into the martial arts hall. At this time, Huo Yuanjia was teaching the students martial arts movements, and Bi Laolei asked Sato Jiro to wait here for a while, and then he went into the practice room and called his master to come out.

"What are you doing, didn't you see that I was busy" Huo Yuanjia followed Bi Laolei out of the practice room, and saw a person wearing a Japanese samurai uniform standing next to Bi Laolei, so he pointed at him and asked Bi Laolei: "Who is this?" ”

"Master, this is Jiro Sato, a samurai from Japan, who has come to visit you, Master," Bi Laolei replied.

Sato Jiro saw that this was Huo Yuanjia in front of him, and immediately bowed again and said, "I beg Your Excellency to go and have a cup of tea with me" Huo Yuanjia saw that the other party also bowed to himself, and it was not easy for him to refuse, so he agreed to his request. So, Huo Yuanjia asked Bi Laolei to continue to register, and he and Sato Jiro went out of the martial arts hall to find a teahouse, and the two sat opposite each other.

The guy in the shop made the tea and respectfully placed it on the table. Huo Yuanjia was not polite, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well, the tea is good"

"Does Mr. Huo think this tea can be called high-quality?" Jiro Sato asked.

"I don't know"

"Mr. said this, if it weren't for Mr. Huo, he really didn't understand tea?"

"It's not that I don't understand, it's that I don't want to understand, I don't want to separate the tea from high and low, it's just tea" Huo Yuanjia put the teacup back on the table, picked up the teapot and poured it to the brim.

"But this tea has high and low and different qualities," Jiro Sato also picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to Huo Yuanjia.

"What is high? What is Low? They all grow in nature, and there is no difference between high and low."

"It seems that Your Excellency really doesn't understand, otherwise it will naturally be high and low."

Huo Yuanjia smiled and said: "What Mr. said is also right, so in my opinion, the level of tea is not determined by tea, but by people, different people have different choices, I don't want to make this choice." ”

"Oh? Why? Sato Jiro also put the teacup in his hand on the table and listened carefully to what Huo Yuanjia said.

Huo Yuanjia continued: "Drinking tea is a mood, if you are in the mood, is the level of tea so important? ”

"Oh, I never thought that in the opinion of Mr., there are so many martial arts schools in the world, is it not that there is no distinction between high and low?"

"I think so," Huo Yuanjia replied.

"Then sir, Sato wants to ask sir, since there is no distinction between high and low in martial arts, why do you want to compete in martial arts?"

Huo Yuanjia thought for a while and said: "I think that there is indeed no difference between high and low martial arts in the world, only those who practice martial arts have the difference between strength and weakness, and through competition, we can find and know a real self, because our real opponent may be ourselves."

"Only through competition can we know the real self, Mr. Fei thinks that the most terrible competition is in your own heart?"

Huo Yuanjia nodded.

"Mr.'s words, so that Sato is very admired, today we are tea friends, don't patronize talking and forget to drink tea, come, taste tea"

"Tea Tasting"

The two of them picked up their teacups, toasted each other, and drank them all.

Huo Yuanjia put down the teacup and said, "I'm afraid that Mr. invited me to tea today not only to discuss the way of martial arts."

"Sir is really wise, Sato hopes to be able to have a discussion with Mr. and meet friends with martial arts"

"Okay, I accept" Huo Yuanjia immediately got up and left.

When the two of them were talking happily, one person had been standing next to them, that person was Bi Laolei, he did not stay in the martial arts hall as Huo Yuanjia said, but put on his invisible hat and followed. If you can see it, you will find that Bi Laolei's face at this time is full of joy and excitement, and he has a hunch that he is getting closer and closer to the completion of his task.

Three days later, Huo Yuanjia came to the competition on time. Jiro Sato and several other Japanese sat in the audience. One of the mustachioed Japanese said to Jiro Sato: "Sato-kun, you can rest assured that you will fight, this time our Great Japanese Empire will win."

"Why are you so sure?" Jiro Sato said curiously.

"I've got everything in order"

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's contest is played by Huo Yuanjia, president of the Shanghai Jingwu Association, against the Japanese samurai Sato Jiro, the rules of this contest, with one of the parties falling or signaling to admit defeat as the winning standard" The referee of the tournament announced the rules of the competition.

"Representatives of both sides, please take their seats"

Huo Yuanjia and Jiro Sato walked onto the competition stage one after another, and the audience cheered and cheered for Huo Yuanjia. The two of them smiled at each other and saluted each other.

Start

At the beginning of the competition, this time the competition was with weapons, with Jiro Sato choosing a Japanese katana, while Huo Yuanjia chose a Chinese three-section stick.

Sato Jiro held a knife in both hands and slashed directly towards Huo Yuanjia, Huo Yuanjia blocked Sato's slash with the three-section stick in front of him, but Sato Jiro did not stop, and then slashed several times, all of which were calmly blocked by Huo Yuanjia, but Huo Yuanjia would not let the other party attack him, and immediately began to counterattack, using a three-section stick to hit Sato Jiro's head, waist, and legs. Huo Yuanjia turned around and hit the three-section stick on Sato Jiro's body, but was caught by Sato Jiro, and immediately slashed at Huo Yuanjia's head with a katana, Huo Yuanjia hurriedly dodged, just when Sato Jiro stabbed Huo Yuanjia in the waist with a katana, Huo Yuanjia grabbed Sato Jiro's hand and turned him over, as soon as his hand was released, the katana fell into Huo Yuanjia's hand.

At this time, the field became Huo Yuanjia holding a katana, while Sato Jiro was holding a three-section stick. So Huo Yuanjia used the katana as a Chinese sword, and slashed at Sato Jiro with the knife in one hand, and Sato Jiro has been using a three-section stick to resist Huo Yuanjia's attack.

Sato Jiro didn't know how to use a three-section stick, so he took the three-section stick as a whip and smoked Huo Yuanjia, and after smoking the three-section stick, he went around and hit Sato Jiro on the head in a circle, which immediately caused the audience to laugh. Huo Yuanjia saw that he didn't know how to use the three-section stick, so he exchanged the katana for Sato Jiro, and the other party also returned the three-section stick to Huo Yuanjia.

Immediately followed by the sound of weapons colliding, Sato Jiro desperately slashed towards the top of Huo Yuanjia's head, Huo Yuanjia took the three-section stick and stuck Sato Jiro's katana, but Sato Jiro turned the knife horizontally and cut off the chain linking the three-section stick, and then cut off another chain with a knife, this time there were two short sticks left in Huo Yuanjia's hands, but this did not affect anything, Huo Yuanjia waved these two short sticks and hit Sato Jiro, crackling, a sound of metal impact, the two sides are not divided between you and me, In the end, Jiro Sato's katana was on Huo Yuanjia's neck, and Huo Yuanjia's iron rod was pressed against Sato Jiro's throat.

"When" the referee rang the bell and announced, "This round is a dead end, the next round is hand-to-hand fighting, and both fighters will go down to prepare"

The two bowed to each other and went off.

At this moment, a figure ran up to the Japanese with a mustache, and the mustache asked him in a low voice, "Is the matter done?" The other party replied: "No problem, I have put the medicine into Huo Yuanjia's cup, Huo Yuanjia will definitely have a seizure in the next competition."

The mustache signaled that he should not say any more, and then told him to go down, and he looked at Huo Yuanjia on the stage with a wicked smile, and said to himself: "Huo Yuanjia, Huo Yuanjia, today is your grave."

Of course, Huo Yuanjia didn't know anything about this matter, he came down from the stage, and his apprentice Bi Laolei immediately came over to help Huo Yuanjia to the chair, took the teacup and handed it to Huo Yuanjia.

"Come, master drink some water"

Huo Yuanjia took the teacup, drank it all, and then gave it to Bi Laolei. Bi Laolei took the teacup and said to Huo Yuanjia: "Master, if you win this time, it will add glory to Chinese martial arts.

"Why?" Huo Yuanjia asked curiously.

"Master, haven't you always wanted to carry forward Chinese martial arts, if you compete with martial artists from all countries in the world, this is equivalent to promoting Chinese martial arts to the world, isn't this your goal?"

"What you say makes sense, I'll think about it"

Bi Lao Lei was overjoyed, this time the Japanese came to Huo Yuanjia to compete, it was a good opportunity to persuade Huo Yuanjia to fight with the world, so that Huo Yuanjia could become the world's No. 1 and his game task could be completed. I was really amazed by my talent! Ha ha.

"What do you think of a good thing, so happy" Huo Yuanjia asked when he saw Bi Laolei smiling.

"When I think that my master is about to become the number one in the world, I can't help but be happy" Bi Laolei patted Huo Yuanjia's ass.

"You, honey in your mouth? So sweet" Huo Yuanjia shook his head and smiled.
