"Eighth child, you're here, come in. ”

There was silence in the door for a while, and suddenly Luo Yanzong's voice came, it seemed that this senior brother heard the footsteps and deliberately tried to hide his embarrassment.

Kou Li pushed the door and took a look, only to see that on the pavilion in the courtyard, Zhai Guan looked drunk, and kept pouring wine, Mo was expressionless, Yue Wuhuo's anger was not gone, Luo Dunzi was stupid, and Luo Yanzong was helpless.

It's a bit tasteless.

"Come on, have a drink with Senior Brother, Senior Brother knows that you have some complaints that I didn't help you speak at the beginning, but your Senior Brother Zhai was really sharpened by the locals with a soft knife, and he was stumbling," Zhai Guan exclaimed in confusion.

"Ignore him, this person is playing drunk, come and sit with me," Luo Yanzong shook his head.

"Fifth Senior Brother, is his career not smooth?" asked Kou Li.

"It's not smooth, how can it be called Shun, how many officials are called Shun, how many prime ministers and generals can there be in the world, the fifth child, I have lost my normal heart. ”

"Senior brother, you are wrong again, we martial artists rely on real skills to fight for glory and wealth, and we are bullied by people with inferior means, this is all riding on the brain, is this just not smooth, vomit~"

A trace of anger flashed in Luo Yanzong's eyes, and he said coldly: "A martial artist can't be arrogant, but he can't be humiliated either, I told you back then, the son of Cao Yuan, the soldier of the military department, took your credit, I will either kill him to give you anger, or you will let go of this matter and start over, you chose the second one, how many years have you been here, have you let it go?"

"I, how did I let go, so many brothers used their lives to gain wealth," Zhai Guan, a red-faced man, actually hugged the wine jug and whimpered.

Luo Yanzong took a deep breath, glanced at the other party angrily, and said no more.

Kou Li glanced at the senior brother in some surprise, in his eyes, this has always been a humble gentleman, he didn't think that he was also a character who took people's lives at every turn, with a mellow appearance, murderous and introverted, this kind of talent is a real horror.

The wine is a good wine, yellow and bright mixed with a little wheat fragrance, taking a sip is like a knife into the mouth, and finally rushing to the heart to explode, two words - comfortable!

"Senior brother, your story is well written," After a long time, Luo Dunzi suddenly said: "I haven't experienced the things on the rivers and lakes, but what I said is so interesting, the east is evil and the west is poisonous, the southern emperor and the northern beggar, if there are so many righteous brothers, it will not be a black line." ”

Black line, Kou Li was stunned, what kind of term is this?

Seeing this, Luo Yanzong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, you have been in our martial arts hall for so many days, and as a senior brother, you have taken care of teaching you boxing techniques and boxing principles, and some things on the rivers and lakes, even if you don't participate, you still know well, so as not to inadvertently commit taboos." ”

When Kou Li heard this, he also became interested and asked, "Senior brother, are there any famous factions in our real rivers and lakes?"

"This is all said in the book, it is very energy-consuming to bring apprentices, unless you really want to pass on the mantle, more, it is to pass on boxing skills to your sons, fellow villagers, there are already a lot of more than a dozen people in two generations, where are there so many big factions, we burn the martial arts hall, in addition to the apprentices who come to practice boxing, there are less than ten people who really pass on. ”

"However, there are hundreds of industries, and our boxers also have their own trades, that is, martial arts, which outsiders are used to call to fight the line, which was used by the old-timers to deal with disputes in the rivers and lakes at the beginning, and gradually became a means for local boxers to form associations for self-protection. ”

"In the serious rivers and lakes, the most powerful characters in various places are basically gathered in the fight in various places, and because the martial arts style is different in various places, so there are strong and weak in the fight line, often the closer to the mainland, the more prosperous the literary style, the fewer outstanding characters in the martial arts, according to today's geographical division, Guangdong, Jin, Beijing, Shandong, Yunnan five strongest, fists and feet are more powerful characters. ”

"Then according to geography, we belong to the Yuexing here," Kou Li frowned, and asked again: "But I seem to have heard that our martial arts hall has not joined the local fighting line, that is, the Yuexing." ”

Luo Yan always nodded and said: "The martial arts situation in each place is different, for example, the gunmen and darts in southern Henan have always been united, so Grandpa Xiaobao, as the uncle of Yuxing, has high seniority and great power, and even the Water Dragon Gang does not dare to provoke, because as soon as he speaks, the 100,000 darts on the rivers and lakes can all not protect the goods of the Water Dragon Gang, and the foundation of the Water Dragon Gang is shipping, and if the foreign freight does not come in, it will inevitably be a big loss." ”

"So to beat the uncle, is the meaning of beating the principal?"

"Yes. ”

Kou Li finally understood why Zheng Laotie's old man was so angry, it turned out that this old thing could also be regarded as the 'martial arts alliance leader' of a place.

Seeing the other party's expression, Luo Yanzong smiled again: "Senior brother, don't think that it is easy to fight an uncle, most of the martial arts practitioners are unruly, even if you are an old-timer, no one may listen to you." ”

"It's like Jin Xing," Mo Yi said suddenly.

"The Jin merchants are rich in the world, and most of the local boxers are worshiped by those rich and big landlords, and they are raised with real money, it is said that even if it is a special tonic for the imperial court, as long as it is good for the body, within a month, those wealthy merchants will get the same medicine. Luo Yanzong added.

"It's not without a price," Kou Li said, with a relieved expression.

"Of course, Jin merchants for literature and martial arts, business all over the world, once the conflict with the locals, the officials can not solve it, it will be brought forward by the boxer, and there are some ticket number business, loans and debts, often hundreds of thousands of taels of running water, the local boxers will be out of the horse, so the Jin boxers are also famous, and in recent years, they have indeed played a lot of characters, through the arms of Shuanghuo, Shanyi Song Dai, are the four major refining of the rivers and lakes of the fierce people. ”

"So there, often if you fight the uncle, there are no big businessmen who work. ”

"There is also Jingxing, the local master has to deal with the princes and nobles, and the boxing skills do not need to be high, and the people's thorough practice is the first. ”

"Guangdong is the border, close to Siam, Cochin and other small countries, where there are perennial wars, fierce and cruel, the local Han people are often burned and plundered, Han women will be adulterous and insulted, the boxers there are basically ruthless characters killed on the battlefield, and some of them are the big leaders of the armed forces. ”

"There is also Ganxing, where there are knife bandits, and even the old guilds may be old bandits, and they have the worst reputation, but they are also very good at fighting ......"

After Kou Li listened to Luo Yanzong's words, he didn't mention Yuexing, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, what is the way of our local Yuexing, why don't you participate." ”

"Pretentious," Zhai Guan rolled over, muttered, and continued to fall asleep on the ground.

Luo Yanzong smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's really complicated, it's too deep, maritime merchants, pirates, officials, fists, officials, gangs, foreign races, sects, anti-thieves, all kinds of hatred and interest entanglements, no matter how high the boxing skills are, they can't be higher than the hearts of the people." ”

The other Kou Li can still understand, but there are actually anti-thieves among them, is this an exaggeration, and he doubted: "Anti-thieves can also join the martial arts?"

"If you really want to be more serious, the boxers of Yuezhou are basically related to the anti-thieves, back then, the five monks of the Luohan Temple scattered all over the world and spread their art everywhere, which led to the rise of martial arts in Guangdong, but how many of them were rebellious, it is impossible to say," Mo Yi sneered.

"Third child, be cautious," Luo Yanzong frowned and said, "We don't participate in the affairs of the imperial court." ”

"No wonder Senior Brother didn't join the fight," Kou Li understood.

"It's not to join, listen to the meaning of those old boxers, it's because I want the master to serve as the master of Yuexing. ”

Kou Li didn't expect that Lin Xianshi, who never showed mountains and rivers and liked to shake around with a teapot when he had nothing to do, would have such a big reputation.

"Master Lin, he doesn't want to?"

"The master said that the boxer should be a boxer, either practicing boxing or teaching boxing, too many disputes, all of which are meaningless things done by senseless people, wasting time. ”
