Jinmen, located in the north of the North China Plain, east of the Bohai Sea, north of the Yan Mountain, after modern times, because of the special location here, the geographical location is becoming more and more important.

Since ancient times, the practice of martial arts has prevailed, and it is an important base for martial arts in the north, and it has always retained the tradition of martial arts competitions.

At the north gate of Jinmen, near the vegetable market, there is a circular jousting ring, which has a long history and is said to have existed before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

If this place is no different from other places, the vendors sometimes put things on it, and children always like to jump up and down here.

But today, the ring is empty, and there are a lot of people in the ring, because someone wants to fight in the ring today, and it is still the most exciting "life and death fight" in the ring, as the name suggests, it is to compete with one side until he admits defeat or dies in battle.

"The hour has come!"

An old man walked to the middle of the ring, it is said that he is the oldest old man in the local area, and he is also a martial arts practitioner, his hair and beard are all gray, but his spirit seems to be very good, as soon as he speaks, the originally noisy ring instantly quiets down.

He held a piece of paper in his hand, turned around the ring, showed the paper to everyone present, and said: "The life and death certificate has been signed, the victory or defeat is up to the people, life and death are up to the sky, two martial artists, please come to the stage." After the old man signaled, two martial artists walked up from both sides of the ring.

A person dressed in white, who looks younger and about thirty years old, can know from the conversation of the people next to him that this martial artist is called "Master Huo", and it should be Huo Yuanjia. The other one, known as "Master Zhang", is also forty or fifty years old, and it is said that he practices snake boxing.

The old man took the life and death certificate to confirm it in front of the two, and both of them nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"The joust begins!" After the old man shouted, he went down from the side, this kind of game does not need the profession of referee.

After the two of them made a fight, they put on a posture and officially started the game.

Thomas Logan is now looking at the two people in the ring below, according to his inquiry, Huo Yuanjia is the first time to fight this kind of life and death ring today, "It seems that the time point of the time and space beads connection is a little earlier, and the plot has not officially started!" ”

"Zhang San, I heard that you have traveled to the south and the north over the years, and you are very famous! It's not blown! Huo Yuanjia teased.

Zhang San stroked his beard and glanced at Huo Yuanjia contemptuously, "Tuberculosis ghost, if your father is still here, I may still respect him a little, as for you...... Hum! ”

"Drink ......" Hearing Zhang San's disdain for himself in his tone, Huo Yuanjia jumped up and took the initiative to attack, Luo Gen on the side was very surprised, in his impression, shouldn't a grandmaster like Huo Yuanjia be a late striker? How can it be different from my own thoughts? He thought carefully for a long time before he suddenly realized that Huo Yuanjia at this time was just relying on the remnants of his father's generation, and he was just an unknown little martial artist in Jinmen, far from reaching the height and fame in the future.

Zhang San is a master of Shaolin Serpentine Boxing, Shaolin has a five-shaped boxing, also known as Shaolin Five Boxing. The five shapes of Shaolin Five Fists refer to the dragon, tiger, leopard, snake, and crane. These five forms are said to have been born from the meaning of the five birds (tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird) in the Huatuo Five Birds play. Therefore, Shaolin Five-Form Fist is a martial art that integrates the method of guidance and the art of attack. This determines that Shaolin Five-Form Boxing is not only an excellent exercise for strengthening the body, but also a unique skill in actual combat. Among them, the snake shape in the five forms is the most ruthless, according to legend, Shaolin Pan Fuxing to the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism Bodhidharma created the Arhat eighteen hands as the beginning, and then after observing the snake's fighting mode, into it, this created the Shaolin snake boxing.

I saw that Zhang San's whole person was like a poisonous snake, his body was wandering and tortuous, his arms were alive and his waist was smart, and his hands were entangled. Logan didn't understand these martial arts moves, but he knew a word called "a wooden stick beats a snake, and a snake follows the stick."

Zhang San is like this, Huo Yuanjia's fist is difficult to have an effect, and Zhang San dodges left and right, dodging Huo Yuanjia's attacks many times, his hands are like snakes, flexibly wrapping around Huo Yuanjia's arms.

"Good!" Huo Yuanjia's chest was hit head-on by Zhang San, and he retreated several steps back before unloading his strength, but the audience didn't care whether he was Huo Yuanjia or not, of course they couldn't help but applaud when they encountered this kind of grand occasion.

In this era, ordinary people don't have movies to watch, and they don't have songs to listen to, and they can only occasionally listen to books or dramas on weekdays to relieve their boredom.

Luo Gen looked at Huo Yuanjia with some concern below, he wouldn't lose the first game like this, he also planned to wait for Huo Yuanjia to win and then go up to worship him as a teacher, if Huo Yuanjia lost, what should he do?

You can't find someone else to apprentice, this is completely different from his plan, Logan is a little confused at this time, is there a change in this world? The information of the time and space beads once stated that the plot of the film and television drama only reflects a general context of the world, and many plots need to be developed by themselves.

Huo Yuanjia on the stage flicked the place where it was hit, and then looked at Zhang San with a straight face.

"Yuanjia is going to be serious!" Beside Logan, a scholar wearing a melon skin hat and a fox fur jacket with his back to Logan, but who seemed to be polite and polite, whispered, and Logan looked at him with some confusion behind his back.

However, the man didn't notice Thomas Logan behind him, but kept staring nervously at Huo Yuanjia on the stage.

Huo Yuanjia took the initiative to attack again, but this time he no longer used his fist, but changed to grappling, or it was more appropriate to use an eagle claw grappling.

Zhang San's hands wanted to "wrap" Huo Yuanjia's fist again, but this time he was suddenly caught by Huo Yuanjia's eagle claws.

After that, the battle situation suddenly changed and completely changed, and in less than a few breaths, Zhang surnamed San was defeated by Huo Yuanjia, although it was a "life and death fight", but Huo Yuanjia did not make a dead move.

"Master Zhang, admit it!" Huo Yuanjia clenched his fists and said to Zhang San.

"Humph!" Zhang Sanyi threw up his sleeves and left the ring with the support of several people.

"Master Huo, Master Huo!" The audience watching the play was like a fanatical fan who saw idols in later generations, shouting Huo Yuanjia's name in unison. One of the beggars was particularly prominent, only to hear him shout: "Huo Yuanjia, when did you become the number one in Tianjin?" ”

Huo Yuanjia had just won the ring competition, and he was very happy, not only jokingly asked the beggar: "What do you say?" ”

The beggar was very enthusiastic and shouted: "Just today, just today!" ”

However, Logan knows that these are fundamentally different from the fans of later generations, no matter who wins, they will shout like this, this is a group of people who eat melons, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Huo Yuanjia smiled and greeted the fathers and fellow villagers very politely, Luo Gen wanted to rush up to apprentice, but Huo Yuanjia actually walked straight to the direction where Luo Gen was.

"Jinsun, I won!"

"Yuan Jia, congratulations!"

Huo Yuanjia was greeting the polite scholar beside Luo Gan, and Luo Gen only remembered at this time that this was Huo Yuanjia's good friend who played since he was a child, and later gave Huo Yuanjia a lot of help.

"In Xia Luogen, I wish to worship Master Huo as a teacher, and ask Master Huo to fulfill it!" Thomas Logan immediately ran to Huo Yuanjia's side, knelt on the ground, looked at Huo Yuanjia with his eyes and said.

"Hmm!" Huo Yuanjia didn't expect that someone would suddenly come out and worship himself as a teacher on the spot, Huo Yuanjia had not accepted an apprentice before, but this was his first time fighting, and he won easily, and he was still in a very good mood, so he looked at Luo Gen intently.

Huo Yuanjia looked at Thomas Logan carefully for a while, and found that he was not like the people of China, and his face suddenly became serious.

Luo Gen noticed that Huo Yuanjia's face had changed, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately knew what was going on. Hurriedly said: "Master Huo, I am not a foreign devil, my father is a Chinese who was abducted and trafficked to the United States to do hard labor, and my mother is an ordinary local peasant girl. ”

This young man, looking carefully, does have a face that is biased towards the descendants of Huaxia Yan and Huang, with black hair and black eyes, and he is very handsome. Huo Yuanjia looked at Thomas Rogan again, thought about it in his heart, and his face suddenly soothed.

Just when Thomas Logan was nervous, Huo Yuanjia put one hand on his shoulder, Logan suddenly felt the bones in his shoulder shake slightly, and then felt some tingling, he held back the pain and looked at Huo Yuanjia with a puzzled face.

At this time, Huo Yuanjia finally smiled and said: "Yes, he is a seedling who practices martial arts, and his roots and bones are good, what is your name?" You really think about it, practicing martial arts is a very hard thing! ”

"Back to the master, my name is Luo Gen, I am willing to worship Huo Daxia as a teacher, please master to complete!" Rogan immediately began to lie on the ground and kowtow to Huo Yuanjia.

"Okay, Luo Gen, you will be my apprentice in the future, this is Nong Jinsun, my brother! You can call him uncle. ”

"I've seen the master, I've seen the farmer's uncle!"

"Okay, Yuanjia, you won the ring, and you accepted such an interesting apprentice, come to my Guyue Building today, we won't get drunk or return!"

"Good!"
