Chapter 172: Two Punches to Correct the Name
The candidates for both sides were decided, Gao Jie and Liu Xuan came to their respective bridges again, and Liu Xuan still said very politely to Gao Jie: "Marquis Zhongyong, may I ask who you will send to fight first?"
Gao Jie also smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Liu Gongzi, if we always send people first, it doesn't seem fair, won't you become a Tianji horse race?!"
Liu Xuan was stunned, and said with some displeasure: "Then what should I do? Do you want us to leave first? This is also unfair!"
Gao Jie waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "I, Gao Jie, have always adhered to the principle of fairness, fairness and openness, and will never engage in favoritism, steal chickens and dogs, and take advantage of small advantages! In this way, we will use a very scientific method to decide to send people over there first!"
"What does the scientific method mean?" Liu Xuan did not understand.
"The word science came from Westerners in the West, and it's not uncommon for Liu Gongzi to not understand it! The scientific method is a method that is reasonable, well-founded, and fair!" Gao Jie explained in a serious manner.
Liu Xuan's face flushed slightly, feeling a little ashamed that he hadn't heard of the word science, and he hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "What do you want to use that Zhongyong Marquis...... Forehead...... The scientific method is to decide who comes first and who comes last?"
Gao Jie said solemnly: "This kind of scientific method from the West has a Chinese name in my hometown, called Dinggang Hammer, and a popular name called Rock Paper Scissors!"
Everyone present was confused, and they didn't understand what a fixed hammer was.
When and where the hammer originated, there are different opinions, and there is no conclusion so far. In 2003, the World Rockpaper-Scissors Association was founded, and its leaders were the Graham brothers of Canada, the elder brother is called Walker, and the younger brother is called Douglas. Since 2004, they have organized the World Rock-Paper Scissors Championships. A report in The Times on June 11, 2005 said: "The origins of this game have disappeared into the fog of history. According to the World Rock-Paper Scissors Association, the game originated in Japan and then spread to China under Kublai Lie, from which Marco Polo brought it to Europe. Unfortunately, there is no evidence for this claim. ”
Gao Jie saw that everyone was waiting for his explanation, so he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, it's very simple, let me first talk about the premise and rules of this method: rock-smashing scissors, scissors cutting cloth, and cloth wrapping stones." That should be easy to understand, right?!"
Everyone nodded yes in unison. Nonsense, if you can't even understand this, then you are not stupid, you are stupid! Although there are illiterate people present, there are absolutely no fools.
Gao Jie nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Knowing this premise and rules, you can make a move - make a fist as a stone, stretch out your index finger and middle finger to imitate scissors as "scissors", spread out your five fingers as "cloth", and use both your left and right hands. Make a sound at the same time, usually as little as one set, as many as three sets, and the winner will be decided. Gao Jie explained and demonstrated, like a very competent professor.
Everyone followed Gao Jie's movements and brushed and began rock-paper-scissors, with teeth and claws everywhere. Liu Xuan also gestured a few times, and asked with some hesitation: "This scientific method is so simple?"
"Simple?!" Gao Jie's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "It seems simple, but it contains an incomparably mysterious and profound meaning. In this scientific method, three images are used to create a relationship of circular restraint. It is about people and things, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are mutually reinforcing, just as sheep eat grass, grass eats land, land eats people, and people eat sheep. Through this method, we can realize that everything is a member of this circular chain, and we can have an open-minded attitude in life. As the saying goes: hammer paper, scissors paper, one thing descends one thing, you are not inferior, I am not conceited, shoot a flower, smile Bodhi tree. So, there's a mystery in the simplicity of this method!"
Gao Jie was stunned for a while, and Liu Xuanze was stunned, and when he heard the end, he unconsciously felt as if he was listening to a monk who had attained enlightenment explain the mysteries of Buddhism, and was completely suppressed.
Gao Jie's involvement in so many famous halls is actually a goal, at least to get a chance to send someone to play later,
Gao Jie saw that Liu Xuan was in a trance by himself, so he snapped his fingers and shouted to him: "Liu Gongzi, let's use this scientific method to decide the order of sending people!
Liu Xuan, who played such a simple game, naturally understood, shook his head vigorously, and sobered himself up from Gao Jie's dizzying high theory, with a solemn look on his face, ready to start the first fixed-post hammer since ancient times.
Gao Jie doesn't care if he wins or loses, he only needs a chance to send someone later, so he seems very relaxed, but Liu Xuan is like a major event in life, while shouting: "rock-paper-scissors", while drawing out the standard scissor hands very seriously.
Not to mention, Liu Xuan was really lucky, and he defeated Gao Jie 3-0. After the victory, he felt like he had won the World Championship, raising his arms and roaring to the sky, and the dozen or so partners behind him also applauded him excitedly.
Gao Jie was very puzzled by Liu Xuanze's passionate performance, and said secretly: "It's just that he won the fist, as for being so excited?!" Where did he understand that after his flickering, the status of rock-paper-scissors in the hearts of these people had already become lofty and sacred.
Since Liu Xuanze's side won, Gao Jie's side sent the first player first, Wei Liangqing, and the other party also let Wang Shaoxiong play as planned.
On the narrow wooden bridge, Wei Liangqing and Wang Shaoxiong stood opposite each other, both of them with calm faces and focused expressions. In the past, Wei Liangqing had fought against Wang Shaoxiong, although he could face dozens of rounds, but Wei Liangqing was the one who lost. Therefore, Wang Shaoxiong is full of confidence and is ready to win a good start with a beautiful victory.
However, to his surprise, Wei Liangqing pressed his legs and bent over, and did the warm-up activities for a long time, and then suddenly hugged his fists and said: "I have compared with you before, and the results are slightly inferior, and this time, I am not sure of winning, so, in order to save time, even if you win!" After speaking, without waiting for Wang Shaoxiong to react, he turned around and went down the bridge and went back.
Wang Shaoxiong's plan to win a hearty victory failed, he looked at Wei Liangqing's back, extremely depressed, but helpless. Since everyone has taken the initiative to admit defeat, is it still impossible to chase and kill? It's just that Wang Shaoxiong somehow felt panicked and uncomfortable in his heart.
Liu Xuan didn't expect the first game to end like this, and after Wang Shaoxiong came back in a huff, he comforted this companion who was very hurt despite winning, and then sent their second player, Ye Guyan.
In Liu Xuanze's plan, Ye Guyan was the weakest of the three, but he was also stronger than Xiong Zhaoqi's kid. Now that he has won the first game, if Gao Jie's side sends Xiong Zhaoqi on the court, then there will be no need to compare in the third game. Therefore, Liu Xuan estimated that Gao Jie's side would send the strongest Wukong to win Ye Guyan in order to win a game. It's just that the third game became Zhao Yilang vs. Xiong Zhaoqi, and their side will still win without suspense, so he looked at Gao Jie on the other side proudly, without any burden at all.
To Liu Xuan's surprise, it turned out to be Xiong Zhaoqi who was sent by Gao Jie! Liu Xuan secretly thought: "Could it be that Gao Jie knew that he was bound to lose, so he simply admitted it early?!"
Ye Guyan saw that it was Xiong Zhaojue, who was even less courageous than him, who went to the bridge, and immediately laughed, he stretched out his fat finger and pointed at Xiong Zhaojue and said, "Xiong family boy, do you really dare to come up?!"
Xiong Zhaoqi hunched his back, his long two arms hanging down in front of his body, and walked to Liu Xuanze and stood still, looking listless, like a lazy horse monkey. He raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Guyan, and said in a low voice: "I'm here, if you want to fight, let's fight!"
Hearing his words, more than a dozen people on Liu Xuanze's side immediately burst into laughter.
Xiong Zhaoyan's words sounded as if he was going to let Ye Guyan ravage and slaughter, without a trace of martial artist's momentum at all, as if he was just coming up to go through the motions, even Ye Guyan was amused by his words, shook his head and said: "I really haven't seen anyone more unproductive than you, so I can't bear to do it!"
Wei Liangyue saw Xiong Zhaojue's bear-like appearance on the shore, so anxious that she only stomped her feet, and complained to Gao Jie in a low voice: "It's all your fault, it's not good to send someone up, but you have to send this cowardly guy like a mouse, and it's a shame!"
Gao Jie smiled and said: "Who is embarrassed, maybe it's okay, Xiaoyue girl will take a look!"
Wei Liangyue was about to sarcastically mock Gao Jie for a few words, but suddenly heard Xiong Zhaoqi on the bridge shouting: "Who is not promising, see the truth in the fist!" After drinking, his body straightened suddenly, his eyes were wide open, a pair of long arms slowly drew a circle, and finally closed at his waist, his fists were clenched, his bones made a crackling sound, and his whole body suddenly exuded a powerful momentum.
Seeing this, Ye Guyan stared at the boss with a pair of small eyes, looked at Xiong Zhaoqi in disbelief, and stammered a little: "You...... What are you doing here?!"
Xiong Zhaoqi stared at him coldly and said, "Didn't I say it, if you want to fight, you can fight! What else can you do?! Dead fatty, eat me a punch!" With that, Xiong Zhaojue's right fist suddenly struck out, and it instantly reached Ye Guyan's chest.
Ye Guyan was shocked by Xiong Zhaoqi's changes, and was a little stunned, but he didn't expect him to say that he would fight, and in a blink of an eye, his fist came to his chest, and he suddenly screamed strangely, and hurriedly retreated. However, Ye Guyan, who thought that he had withdrawn from the range of the attack, suddenly found that he was sad, because he underestimated Xiong Zhaoqi's arm length, and only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and he was punched firmly in the chest, and he screamed in pain, and then took two steps back.
Xiong Zhaoqi succeeded in one blow, and did not pursue, but retracted his right fist to his waist, and said coldly: "Dead fatty, do you want to continue?"
Ye Guyan was humiliated like this by Xiong Zhaoqi, who had never been in his eyes, and suddenly became angry, roared angrily, and his fat body rushed forward flexibly, and made a powerful move "Tiger Descending Mountain", which went straight to Xiong Zhaoqi's chest and abdomen.
Xiong Zhaoqi didn't rush forward or retreat, but bent his legs, tied a stake, stared at the oncoming fist, and shouted again, his left fist slammed out from his waist, colliding with Ye Guyan's fist.
The two fists intersected, and after making a terrible sound, I saw Ye Guyan's fat body rushing forward suddenly stopped, and then I heard him cry out in pain, holding his right arm with his left hand, jumping on the bridge, and accidentally fell into the stream. This stream is not deep, only half a person high, Ye Guyan struggled to stand up after a while, drenched all over, the stream formed by the mountain spring was cold and piercing, making him shiver with cold, and the hard blow to his right arm was even more painful. He stood in the middle of the stream in pain, and looked up at Xiong Zhaoqi on the wooden bridge as if he had seen a ghost, looking very embarrassed.
Xiong Zhaoqi didn't even look at him, slowly retracted his posture, gently dusted off his white robe, turned around and walked off the wooden bridge. His back, under the illumination of the autumn sun, seemed to glow, making Liu Xuanze and his group feel so strange and unreal. Because, this figure is no longer cowardly, but full of strength and courage.
