Chapter 30: Fire
After saluting, the two of them each posed in a hand-raising pose.
Bai Yue took a step with his left foot, drew a circle with both hands, stopped in front of his chest with his left hand, and raised his right hand above the top.
Look at Wanshulou on the opposite side, clenching fists with both hands, flat in front of the body, legs left arch and right straight, standing still like a child who does not know martial arts, the posture is very funny.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Bai Yue frowned.
"I ...... I don't know ......" Wan Shulou was panicked by Bai Yue's question.
Seeing Wan Shulou's posture, the audience trembled when they spoke, laughed again, and mixed with a few coaxing, which made Wan Shulou's face flush with shame.
"Offended!" Bai Yue didn't care, and then kicked out and went straight to Wanshulou.
Wan Shulou saw that the speed of the move was extremely fast, and he was about to use the "Thunder and Shock" in the Wind and Thunder Heart Method to resist, but then he thought that he couldn't use any martial arts of the Western Martial Arts Arena, otherwise his identity would be exposed, so he stiffly held back.
Just as he was hesitating, Bai Yue's kick had already arrived, and he kicked Wan Shulou in the chest, and Wan Shulou took a few steps back in pain, almost falling.
Bai Yue was also taken aback, and began to see Wan Shulou's starting style like a joke, thinking that this person was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he was still a little jealous in his heart, but he didn't expect that this step would be easy to get it, it turned out that he really didn't know martial arts. Thinking that the opponent was so weak, he didn't do his best, for fear of kicking and hurting this person.
Wan Shulou gritted his teeth and rubbed his chest, only to feel that although the speed of this kick was fast, the force was not particularly great, and it was no big problem after a long sigh of relief.
"Boy, what are you doing? I forgot what I taught you?" reproached the "Buddha" in the audience.
"I haven't forgotten!Look at me!" Wan Shulou said with a straight chest.
Wan Shulou slid forward, his left hand probed, his right hand followed closely with his fist, and went straight to Bai Yue's door, although this punch was a straight fist, it was soft and weak, and Bai Yue's left palm was easily resolved with a push.
Wan Shulou kept in his hands, and used all the kung fu such as "Shen Family Boxing Method", "Zhao Family Palm Spectrum", "Arhat Long Fist" and so on taught by the "Buddha".
Bai Yue saw that although the opponent's attack was fierce, his moves were very shallow, sometimes a flat punch, sometimes an oblique palm, sometimes a straight kick, no threat at all, just like the performance of boxing when exercising, there was no power at all.
Bai Yue flashed left and right, moving forward and backward, and all the moves of Wanshulou failed, and he didn't even touch his sleeves. Wanshulou seemed to be attacking very fiercely, but it was extremely passive.
Everyone in the audience saw that there was a huge difference in the strength of the two on the field, and they were completely uninterested, but Bai Yue's figure was very good-looking, so they barely watched it for a while, and many people shifted their attention to other rings.
After fighting for a while, Wan Shulou also felt as if he was messing around, the moves in his hand were completely useless, but he had been entangled with his opponent, feeling that he was particularly embarrassed, but it was not easy to stop and admit defeat.
"That's what I taught you?" "Buddha" said with a very dissatisfied glaring at Wan Shulou.
"Yes, I remember these moves well, but they don't work very well!" Wan Shulou said as he played.
"You're such a waste, you don't know how to be flexible. "Buddha" was even more angry when he heard Wan Shulou's defense.
"How else can you conjure up this kind of straight fist hook leg?" Wan Shulou also said a little angrily.
"Master led the way into the door, and the cultivation was personal. You're obviously not working hard, but you're blaming me!" "Buddha" said with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, "You try, use the third form of the 'Luohan Long Fist' and the ninth form of the 'Yellow River Knife Technique' together." ”
When Wan Shulou heard this, he thought about it in his mind, and at the moment when he was thinking, Bai Yue had already attacked, only to see Bai Yue go around to Wan Shulou's side, and his left palm slashed down.
Wan Shulou didn't have time to think about it, so he used the moves that "Buddha" said to fight back. Wan Shulou made a fist with his left hand, turned a knife into a palm with his right hand, and made a move from two completely different directions, these two directions happened to attack both sides of Bai Yue, Bai Yue had no time to defend, so he had to withdraw his palm and jump back, barely dodging.
This move caught Bai Yue off guard, and he was shocked, but then he thought that this move might be a coincidence, so he didn't take it seriously and continued to prepare for the attack.
And Wan Shulou never expected that the fusion of two ordinary moves would have such an effect, so he searched for a few moves in his mind that could be used together, and was ready to use them to try.
Bai Yue's left hand was covered, and his right fist was immediately struck, and Wan Shulou stretched out his arm lightly, but at this time, Bai Yue lowered his body and swept out a leg, which was covered by the first two false moves, intending to attack him unprepared.
"'Shen Family Fist' Sixth Style and 'Dead Wood in Spring'!" shouted again from the audience.
Wan Shulou listened, he suddenly sank his left knee, pressed on Bai Yue's leg, and then leaned his body, his center of gravity to the left, and at the same time rushed out of his left elbow and hit it hard.
Bai Yue's leg was pressed tightly, Wan Shulou's elbow was unavoidable, and Bai Yue's back was hit, Bai Yue stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
Wan Shulou's elbow was closed at the touch of a button, and he didn't use all his strength, because Wan Shulou had already felt that the other party was merciful, so this move also had the intention of repaying the favor.
Bai Yue got up in embarrassment, gasped for breath, and found that although this elbow move was exquisite, the force was very light, and it was not a big deal if he was hit.
Bai Yue didn't dare to despise his opponent at this time, although for some reason, his opponent's moves suddenly changed qualitatively, and every time he made a move, he was extremely subtle, and he could always find a gap between his moves. The most unpredictable is the way of luck in Wanshulou, always if there is nothing, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, unclear direction,
And Wanshulou succeeded twice, and his confidence in his heart increased greatly, and his hands and feet were even more open. Fighting with Bai Yue again, the situation has been turned upside down, Wan Shulou is also constantly attacking, but Bai Yue is completely suppressed in terms of moves.
Although Wanshulou's moves are not very proficient sometimes, there are only occasional flaws, and in the blink of an eye, strange moves can be made frequently, which makes the audience wonder in their hearts, and they can't figure out whether Wanshulou's martial arts are deep or shallow.
After more than a dozen moves, Bai Yue finally couldn't parry, and was kicked in the lower abdomen by Wan Shulou and flew out of the field.
Bai Yue was unwilling after being defeated, and Wan Shulou inadvertently seemed to see a trace of tears flashing in his eyes, but it was gone in a blink of an eye, so he didn't take it to heart.
After Bai Yue was defeated, two young people came to the stage to challenge Wan Shulou, but their kung fu was not as good as Bai Yue, but with a few moves, Wan Shulou easily won and advanced.
"How is it, can these tricks be used well?" Wan Shulou jumped down from the ring and said to "Buddha".
"You're too slow to react!" "The Buddha complained, "If I had reminded you a few minutes too late, you'd have been beaten down by that white punch." ”
"Yes, yes...... 'Buddha' has taught the right lesson!" Wan Shulou complimented with a smile on his face.
"Don't pat yourself there, don't underestimate my kung fu, I've been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I eat more salt than you eat rice, so you can learn it!"
After Bai Yue lost, he didn't leave directly with the staff, but sat on the chair next to him and was angry, Wan Shulou saw Bai Yue's appearance, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, and he couldn't come forward to comfort him, so he had to stay away.
After a few more competitions, fewer and fewer people remained, and even fewer and fewer staff members, and later, even if someone was defeated, there was no staff to take people away.
Everyone was wondering, but there was a commotion, and some people were talking.
"Did you smell anything?"
"What does it smell like? Oh...... I think there is. ”
"Something seems to be boiled. ”
"Indeed, is it preparing dinner? This chef is not very skilled!"
"No, it smells a little choking......"
More and more people smelled strange smells, and people with good deeds ran to the stairwell to check, only to see wisps of green smoke in the stairwell, and a few floors down, there was thick smoke billowing and faint fire.
"It's on fire! it's on fire......" shouted the man in the stairwell as he ran in panic.
Everyone in the building ran to the stairwell to check, and sure enough, there was a pungent smoke coming from inside. Everyone returned to the floor, opened the window and looked out, there was already thick black smoke rising from the floor below, and someone from the fire brigade came to extinguish the fire, but the water in the fire hydrant was poured on it, but it was like a drop in the bucket and did not work at all.
The fire spread very quickly, rushing upstairs at an incomprehensible speed, and the walls of the building seemed to contain flammable materials, and the fire burned more and more violently, without any attenuation momentum.
The smoke had reached the thirtieth floor, and many people choked and coughed violently, and everyone hurriedly ran upstairs.
The building had forty floors, and everyone quickly ran to the top floor, where there was an iron door, the lock on the iron door was firmly locked, and there was a ventilation window next to it, which was also completely closed. This iron door can lead to the rooftop, if you reach the rooftop, the smoke will be released, you will not be suffocated in the building, there will be a glimmer of life.
A few young and strong young men slammed into the iron door, but the iron door did not move.
Wan Shulou also went over to try it, he used his luck with both hands, against the edge of the door, and pushed it out with all his might, but the iron door still had no reaction.
Someone suggested that everyone work together and push the door with luck, so there were seven or eight masters with abundant internal strength standing in front of the door, and some people shouted slogans, and everyone was lucky at the same time, but this iron gate was like growing on the wall, and there was still no movement.
When someone saw the ventilation window next to it, they wanted to stretch out their hands and open the iron door from the outside. The window is not large, but large enough to stretch out your arms. So they broke the glass of the window and stretched out their hands, but whoever stretched it out, they were still far away, and they could not touch the iron door.
After some efforts, everyone still had nothing to do with this iron gate, so they had to sit down helplessly.
The smoke was approaching from downstairs, and when I looked down in the stairwell, I could already faintly see the fire, and before long everyone would be choked or burned to death.
"What's that?" Bai Yue looked straight ahead and noticed a huge cloth on the wall in the stairwell, and something seemed to be covered underneath the cloth.
The crowd lifted the huge cloth, and there was an iron plate underneath, on which a few lines of large characters were clearly written.
"The people in the martial arts, who claim to be famous and decent, are actually obscene villains, and use despicable means to harm my 'Book Palace' palace master Mr. Lu Qi, today gather a lot of ghosts here, kill chickens and monkeys, and burn your body, in order to tell Mr. Lu the spirit of the sky!"
These lines of words are sharp, the pen is compelling, and it makes people frightened, and everyone is in such a desperate situation, many people have collapsed to the ground, and some timid people can't help but cry.
Wan Shulou and "Buddha" have long realized the plan, but there is no better way at this moment.
Bai Yue sat in the corner of the stairwell and sobbed silently, while Zhang Rong stood proudly on crutches, with no fear on his face.
"What should I do?" Wan Shulou asked the "Buddha".
"No way, I didn't expect that I had lived for seventy or eighty years, I had experienced strong winds and waves, and I would actually die here, I really didn't expect it......" "Buddha" sighed.
"Old man, there are many accidents in life, you are enough, you look here, there are so many young people, don't you lose more than you?" Zhang Rong listened to the words of "Buddha", and suddenly said.
"Hehe......" "Buddha" sneered, "This board is good, we do have a lot of despicable villains here, I feel unworthy, because I want to die with these despicable villains......"
Zhang Rong originally wanted to comfort the old man a little, but he didn't expect to be sneered at by him, Zhang Rong couldn't help frowning, and looked at the "Buddha" suspiciously.
"I was in the restaurant with this kid that day, and we know exactly what you did. Seeing that Zhang Rong was not convinced, the "Buddha" thought that he was about to die, and it didn't matter what he said, so he told him.
Zhang Rong first lowered his head, and then actually laughed.
"Yes, I am indeed a despicable villain and have done some despicable things, but I have a clear conscience!" Zhang Rong became more and more presumptuous the more he laughed, and this time it was the turn of the "Buddha" and Wan Shulou to begin to wonder.
"I have been an orphan since I was a child, and when I was seven or eight years old, I ran out of the orphanage and met the three people you saw in the restaurant......" Zhang Rong stopped laughing, his eyes were deep, and he began to recall the past, "They saved me when I was hungry and cold, but I really might as well starve to death at that time." They brought me back, and though they gave me food and drink, they were the worst, and when they saw that I had some strength, they told me to steal and rob me, or else they would not give me food or drink......
"Then you can't kill them either......" Wan Shulou emphasized.
"Then one day, we met a master ......" Zhang Rong ignored Wan Shulou and continued, "This master taught us four martial arts, they learned boxing and kicking, and I was often caught because I was responsible for going out to steal and rob, so I learned light skills to facilitate escape." The three of them learned the kung fu of fists and feet, and they relied on those kung fu to bully me even more unscrupulously. ”
"Buddha" listened to Zhang Rong's experience, and regretted what he had just said to him.
"Later, our enemy came to the door, and these three people abandoned me without thinking about it, and ran away first, and I was caught by the enemy, and my legs atrophied due to severe poisoning, and I became the crippled appearance I am now......" Zhang Rong continued with a dull gaze, "I knew that I couldn't defeat the enemy, so I had to choose to lie down and try my courage, and took refuge in them, and more importantly, I also wanted to take revenge on those three people!"
Wan Shulou listened to the behavior of those three people, although he had no personal experience, he also hated them to the core, and Zhang Rong's hatred can be imagined.
"I secretly learned how to use poison from the enemy, and promised to help the enemy take revenge on those three people. So one night, I first stunned the boss with incense and prepared to cut off his left hand, because he always used his left hand to slap my face, but at the last moment, I relented and only cut off three of his fingers. After that, I blinded the second child with poison, and the dose of poison was a little less, and I only blinded one eye. Later, I secretly gave the third child 'Tong Ape Dan', which made him itch and grow hair, and looking at their painful expressions, I felt a little relieved. Zhang Rong was very proud, and a smile appeared on his face.
Wan Shulou was shocked when he heard it, if people were blinded by revenge, the means could be so vicious.
"After these three people were injured separately, they still didn't repent, but they became more perverted, and their oppression of me intensified, and my days were miserable......" Zhang Rong sighed and continued, "So, I had no choice but to poison that restaurant again, this time it was a deadly poison......"
Looking at Zhang Rong's lonely expression, Wan Shulou had mixed feelings, although Zhang Rong hated those three people in his heart, it could still be seen that choosing to kill them was also a last resort, after all, these four people had been together for so long, they would be a little reluctant, and those three people could be regarded as Zhang Rong's life-saving benefactors.
"Maybe that's fate, even if I hadn't killed the three of them at the time, they would have been burned alive here today. And I seem to have done a good deed, taking poison and dying is far from being burned to death...... "Zhang Rong sighed.
At this time, more and more people in the stairwell joined the ranks of crying, and everyone's hearts also turned from timidity and fear at the beginning, to despair. Many began to talk about their past and began to repent at the end of their lives.
Wanshulou saw everyone sitting on the ground horizontally, crying endlessly, and then watching the fire downstairs spreading, it was really like a hell on earth. I was already at a loss, and my mind was even more blank at the moment.
"You go to the east window and look down. "Buddha" suddenly said to Wanshulou at this time.
Wan Shulou glanced at the "Buddha", I don't know what he thinks, but at this moment, no matter what method is worth trying, so Wan Shulou immediately rushed to the east window and looked down.
I saw that not far from the Liuyi Palace building, there was also a high-rise building, although the high-rise building was not as tall as the forty-storey, but there were still about thirty floors. Wanshulou looked to both sides again, and the rooftop of the opposite building went a little further north, which was very close to the Liuyi Palace building, but there was no window in that position, only a long outdoor pipe.
Wan Shulou thought about it and had an idea, so he turned around and went downstairs, ripped off many curtains in the few rooms downstairs, and then tied the curtains into long ropes. Wan Shulou measured the rope and looked at the distance between the two floors.
"Listen to me, I have a way to open the iron door! Take off your shirts!" Wan Shulou shouted.
