Chapter 28 Apprenticeship with Li Shuwen
"When I entered the house, I either drove piles or leaned against the wall." That day, after Li Shuwen was warmly invited by Huo Tingen and Chen Zhen to Jingwumen as a guest and teach Xin Han's Baji Boxing, Xin Han's hard days came, standing on the pile for two hours every day, and then he kept practicing the eighth-level boxing.
Since Li Shuwen came to Jingwumen, he didn't let Xin Han continue to practice with Chen Zhen, in his words, weight-bearing exercises can quickly improve personal strength, but it is not advisable, because the weight of the sandbag cannot be evenly distributed to each muscle, and after a long time, the bones will deform and form dark wounds.
After the heavy ones reach a certain realm, because of these secret injuries, it is difficult to advance in the martial arts realm, so what Xin Han does every day is to lay a solid foundation.
Seeing Xin Han constantly banging his shoulders against the courtyard wall in the martial arts training ground, the disciples of the Jingwu Sect all 'tsk' loudly: "To say that the little junior brother is different, every time he practices, he is so strange, it is really enviable." ”
Xin Han has the heart to cry, I have a wonderful face, he just got a little distracted, the strong wind behind him stood up, a big gun was like a dragon out of the water, lightning struck, and it hit his buttocks.
"Oops." Xin Han looked back at Li Shuwen, who was holding a gun in one hand and drinking tea with a tea bowl in the other, and then reluctantly continued to practice.
He was used to this kind of punishment, Li Shuwen was worthy of the name of the spear, the big gun did not hurt at all, except that the strength on the tip of the gun could make Xin Han feel like a pinprick, even his pants were not damaged in the slightest.
The piercing pain made Xin Han have the heart to turn his face and not practice in a fit of anger, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea, one did not dare, and the other was reluctant.
In the past two days, he has already learned from Huo Tingen and Chen Zhen who Li Shuwen is, and he also knows why Li Shuwen said that those Japanese were coming for him that day.
Li Shuwen can be said to be a legendary figure in the history of modern Chinese martial arts.
Its marksmanship and boxing skills are unparalleled in the world, and it has won the reputation of "fierce and fierce, and Li Shuwen of the spear".
It can be said that following the invincible grandmasters of the old generation such as Taijiquan 'Yang Luchan' Baguazhang 'Dong Haichuan' and 'Xingyi Boxing' Guo Yunshen, 'Bajiquan' Li Shuwen can be called another invincible existence.
The enmity with the Japanese also began with Yuan Shikai began to train troops at a small station in the southern suburbs of Tianjin, when Yuan Shikai used various means and connections to encircle strong martial artists, and hired Japanese karate masters and moral instructors to train his elite troops.
Li Shuwen's master Huang Shihai received a letter of appointment from Yuan Shikai, and because of his advanced age, he specially recommended his disciple Li Shuwen to teach.
After Li Shuwen arrived at the barracks, he sent someone to lead him to the martial arts hall to meet Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Shikai and the instructors saw that he was not amazing, thin and withered, and carried a big gun, and mistook him for the servant or child of Huang Shihai.
When Li Shuwen explained his identity, he was ridiculed by Yuan Shikai's guard martial arts instructor Taro Ito, who pointed at Li Shuwen with his little finger and shouted: "The sick man of East Asia."
Li Shuwen has a violent temperament and is as fierce as fire all his life, not to mention a little Japanese, even Yuan Shikai himself dares to laugh at him, and it is estimated that he will also let him know how to write the word regret.
He immediately made a move, and with a shake of the big gun, Taro Ito's little finger left his hand.
Everyone present was shocked, Ito was furious, and waved a Japanese long knife to slash at the top of Li Shuwen's head with the momentum of Mount Tai.
Li Shuwen's big gun shook again, the knife flew away, and then took advantage of the situation to shoot "loaches and flowers", piercing Ito's throat, and with another big gun, he threw the dead body out of the martial arts hall.
This time it can stab the hornet's nest, and the Japanese martial arts instructors Akino, Inoue, and Noda saw that their companions were stabbed to death by Li Shuwen, and they all swung their knives and pounced viciously at Li Shuwen.
I saw Li Shuwen entering and exiting like lightning, retreating like an arrow, and a big gun like a dragon coming out of the water, stabbing left and right, and suddenly flesh and blood flew sideways.
In an instant, the bodies of the three Japanese martial arts masters were all thrown out of the martial arts hall.
When everyone was stunned, Li Shuwen swung his big gun and stabbed the flies on the hall pillars, the flies fell and the hall pillars were without a trace, and the hall immediately burst into thunderous applause.
Yuan Shikai shouted: "Divine spear!" Sharpshooter! It's really a magic gun! Since then, "Sharpshooter Li Shuwen" has been famous all over the world, and at the same time, he has also formed a bond with the Japanese.
Because one of the several Japanese who was killed was a descendant of a Japanese nobleman, when this incident was reported back to Japan, Li Shuwen was not unusually assassinated by the Japanese.
But he was so bold that he killed one by one, and the 'ninja' didn't know how many he had killed, and then the Japanese were afraid of being killed, so they didn't dare to continue to trouble him.
This time the Japanese ninja actually came for Xin Han, but he didn't expect to be mistaken by Li Shuwen for coming to assassinate him, and the last Japanese ninja who fell recognized Li Shuwen who made them frightened when he was dying.
He really wanted to shout to Li Shuwen: "The ghost is looking for you, my brother is here to kill that kid, I knew that you, a murderer, were here, and my brother didn't come to kill him." ”
After learning about Li Shuwen's life, Xin Han knew that this was a rare opportunity, where could he be willing not to practice.
It's just that this practice is also a little too perverted, the waist and knees of standing on the stump every day are sore, and the kidneys are weak, and then they have to keep hitting the wooden stakes and walls according to Li Shuwen's requirements, and at the end of the day, it is more than ten times harder than following Chen Zhen to practice martial arts.
"Okay, that's it for today." Before Li Shuwen finished speaking, Xin Han sat on the ground with sweat as if he had no bones.
But before he could sit down, Li Shuwen picked him under his armpit with a big gun and stood up straight.
"I said senior, you still don't let people live, you don't say it, you practice like this, let's discuss how about I invite my seniors out for a good meal." Xin Han pleaded with a bitter face.
Li Shuwen was already accustomed to this kid's side and didn't care: "I just said that today's basic skills will be practiced here, and this basic skill will take at least half a year, but I can't live in Shanghai for a few days, so I will simply teach you Bajiquan today." ”
"The so-called song does not leave the mouth and fist, and practicing boxing is like sailing against the current without advancing or retreating, if you want to achieve something in martial arts, this basic skill must be practiced continuously."
The older generation has rules for teaching boxing, and no outsiders can be present, Li Shuwen took Xin Han to the backyard, personally went down to play Bajiquan, and let Xin Han practice again.
He was trying Xin Han's talent to see how much he could remember.
"Huh!" Watching Xin Han practice Li Shuwen couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect this pooky kid to remember a seven, seven, eight, eight and eight after watching his boxing once, although many movements were deviated, but the boxing was right, which made him feel incredible.
Originally, Li Shuwen shyly accepted the love of Xin Han that day, but later for some reason he felt that this poignant boy was very angry with him, so he simply passed on a set of kung fu to repay the affection, but I didn't expect this kid to be really a martial arts material.
After watching Xin Han practice, Li Shuwen was noncommittal, only let him stand aside, and personally went down to the court and fought again, and then let Xin Han practice again.
This side surprised Li Shuwen even more, Xin Han actually practiced ninety percent right in one punch, and even the moves that were wrong in the previous movements were changed, and the rest of the inright ones were also the real essentials and secrets of the eighth-level gate.
At this time, Li Shuwen was moved, and immediately carefully explained the essentials of Bajiquan and the secret of strength to Xin Han, and told him that he must not pass on to others without his permission, and then let Xin Han practice by himself and go into the room to rest.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Shuwen Xin Han called out to him, asking him to practice the Bajiquan he learned yesterday in its entirety, and waited for Xin Han to finish practicing Li Shuwen was silent for a long time.
After that, he found Huo Tingen to discuss with him, planning to accept Xin Han as a closed disciple.
Although Xin Han worshipped Huo Yuanjia as a teacher, this does not mean that there can be no other masters in the future, when Li Shuwen was a child, he practiced Bajiquan for three years under Zhang Jingxing, the fifth descendant of Bajiquan, and then practiced the big gun under his master Huang Shihai for six years.
That is to say, if the master agrees, the apprentice can worship other martial artists as teachers, of course, this does not mean that he has changed to the door wall, but both sides admit that there is this disciple, and the disciple also regards both masters as teachers.
Xin Han is Huo Tingen's apprentice on behalf of his father, Huo Yuanjia is no longer there, as long as Huo Tingen agrees, Xin Han can worship Li Shuwen as a teacher.
Regarding Li Shuwen's request, Huo Tingen naturally agreed, and the little junior brother could get the 'magic spear Li Shuwen', which was a great joy for the Jingwu Sect, and he immediately discussed it with a few senior brothers and then nodded and agreed to Li Shuwen's request.
In this way, without Xin Han's consent, he was worshiped by another master, and Jingwumen sent an invitation to invite fellow martial artists on the beach to watch the ceremony.
With the name of Jingwumen, some people are still reluctant to give this face, but as soon as they saw Li Shuwen's name behind him, they immediately changed their attitude, you must know that Li Shuwen is a figure at the level of a grandmaster today, and he can observe his apprenticeship ceremony, and his face will be very bright when he says it in the future.
On the day of apprenticeship, Jingwumen became crowded from the door to a crowd, and almost all the warriors who received the invitation on the beach came, Xin Han knelt in front of Li Shuwen, kowtowed respectfully nine times, and then gave Li Shuwen a thank you tea.
Li Shuwen took it with a smile and took a sip and told Xin Han to get up, this is considered a ceremony.
Jingwumen held a feast, of course, the money was Xin Han's own, he took advantage of the night to knock a few stuffy sticks in Hongkou District, and made a fortune, and then had to sigh, little Japan's money is really easy to make.
All the well-known martial artists in Shanghai toasted Li Shuwen one after another, and the old man Li was also very happy to accept the closed disciples, and it was rare to talk and laugh with these martial arts colleagues.
After the ceremony, many martial artists returned home and told their disciples to try to avoid offending the Jingwu Sect, especially that Xin Han, you must know that Li Shuwen is famous for protecting calves, and he acts ruthlessly, so they all keep their eyes open and don't mess with that little ancestor.
Xin Han's side invited the apprentice wine to be jubilant, but the Japanese side opened the pot indiscriminately.
The eight ninjas invited from the Black Dragon Society never returned, which provoked Fujita Tsuyoshi to be furious, until the Jingwumen feasted and distributed Li Shuwen's apprenticeship sticker, and they knew that the killer star 'Li Shuwen' had arrived in Shanghai.
The shadow of the famous tree, needless to say, Fujita Gang knew that the failure to assassinate Xin Han was inseparable from Li Shuwen, but he didn't dare to take Li Shuwen without evidence, and then send someone to assassinate him? How many people will definitely die, besides, the ninja is not a cabbage and a big radish, and I don't know how to explain it to the military department and the Black Dragon Society when these eight die.
Just when Fujita had a headache and how to explain this matter to the War Department and the Black Dragon Society, another news that gave him an even more headache was placed in front of him.
The Japanese Chamber of Commerce in China jointly filed a complaint against Tsuyoshi Fujita, as the top military attache in Shanghai, for not fulfilling his responsibilities in safeguarding the safety of Japanese nationals.
The cause of the incident was that there had been a number of robberies of Japanese businessmen in the Japanese enclave area of Hongkou the day before, and the amount of money and property that had been robbed was also very huge.
Among them, the owner of a very well-known Japanese foreign bank planned to go to the French consul in the evening with a large amount of cash to conduct "in-depth discussions" in order to ensure that the foreign bank could smoothly carry out branch business in the French Concession.
But as soon as he stepped out of his door, he was knocked on the head, and when his family heard the news, the huge amount of cash in his bag was gone.
There were seven cases like this overnight, and for a long time there were no other Japanese people in Hongkou at night except for those Japanese ronin.
Fujita Gang slapped the report in his hand on the table: "These Diao people don't have a sense of the overall situation at all, and this trivial matter also bothers me." ”
"Sir, if they do file a complaint, there may be a lot of trouble." A Japanese officer bowed and said.
Fujita Gang snorted coldly, didn't speak for a while, and said after a while: "Notify the patrol room and let them solve the case within a time limit, Hongkou District will be taken over by our Japanese army from today, block the streets, and impose martial law at night." ”
Fujita Gang thought about it again after issuing a series of orders: "As for that kid, let him live a few more days, and remind Fumio Funakoshi that the day of the competition is coming." ”
Xin Han didn't know that he had made an unintentional move, which saved him a lot of trouble.
