Chapter 325. Wrestling King Zhensan
"Wine flags play in Gutianqiao City, how many tourists don't remember their homes!"
This sentence refers to the overpass in Beijing. In the late Qing Dynasty and even after the Republic of China and even after the liberation, the overpass has always been known as the place where "the three religions are blessed by the emperor's feet and the nine-flowered temples in the imperial city". Because civilians in the capital like to meet and rest here the most, a overpass reveals the social customs of the capital to the fullest.
The rise of the sky bridge is because of the prosperity of the market. This market is a market that integrates culture, entertainment and commercial services. The so-called combination of culture and business and promotes each other. In the process of its development, the unique sky bridge civilian culture has gradually formed. Because it is rooted in the common people, it has been able to last forever despite going through vicissitudes.
The sky bridge is located outside Zhengyang Gate in the eastern part of Xuanwu District. It is named the sky bridge because the road that the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties must pass when worshiping the Temple of Heaven. Here, in addition to the extremely prosperous business circle, what is most praised by the people is that many artists and even hermits and masters of the sky will "put the ground" on the sky bridge when they are intrigued.
The so-called "dropping the ground" means drawing a white circle on the ground. As a performance, it is called "drawing pot".
The pot is for eating. After drawing the pot and having a show, the artist will have a bowl of rice.
Of course, not everyone can do it in the "discard the ground" and "draw the pot" in the overpass market. Even the most common juggling performances on the overpass mostly contain one or two unique skills. One is to eat and walk around the world, and the other is to deal with the face of some "bridge guardians" and "shut the ground".
There are many performance events on the overpass, including pulling a bow and raising a knife, shaking off a diabolical bamboo, dancing forks to "open the way", climbing rods and playing banners, but the most competitive ones are also practicing hard qigong and wrestling arena.
There are many people who perform hard qigong in the flyover. The most common ones include "oil hammer penetrating the top", "hammer nail board", "collapse of iron chains" and "pulling iron bars", etc. Because of their high technical content, they have always been called the golden pot with the highest income in the flyover. In recent days, if you say that the most popular venue in the flyover is the wrestling venue that only martial artists like to visit.
All emperors of the Qing Dynasty strongly advocated wrestling activities. During the Kangxi period, national wrestling organizations such as "Shanpuying" were organized, with the Governor and the Deputy Governor, and the two wings were called Dongying and Xiying.
People in the capital called "Buku" also called "puhu". In the Qing Dynasty, not only did the school soldiers know about wrestling. Even some good martial arts princes and nobles were no exception, and gradually integrated the essence of wrestling techniques of various ethnic groups such as Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and Han, and collectively called Chinese wrestling, or wrestling.
In this environment, almost all those who can open a wrestling ring on the overpass are masters. Those who usually hang out in the wrestling ring, either the children of wealthy officials from the family. In order to strengthen their health and make friends, or have poor families, Xizhi takes wrestling as his career, strives to gain attention from the dignitaries who like to wrestle, and be in charge of the house and guard the body of the bodyguard. It solves the food and clothing calculations of the family.
Of course, the wrestling arenas in this overpass are not all iron discus. Almost every wrestling field that has been standing for many years will be divided into different factions according to the region or family background of their respective wrestling skills. The two largest factions on the overpass are the two overlords of the Beijing Wrestling Sect and the Baoding Wrestling Sect.
But for some reason today, the two major wrestling sects closed the venue together and sat together in the Sifang Restaurant, discussing something fiercely...
"Hey, have you heard that the competition between the Japanese Judo Association and the Jingwu Sect was abandoned halfway. It is said that five people were on the field. They were all knocked down one by one by one by the eldest disciple of the Yellow-faced Hu Huo Yuanjia, Lightning Kuaishou Swallow Liu Liu Zhensheng..."
A disciple of the Beijing Wrestling Sect was talking enthusiastically, and suddenly someone in the Baoding Wrestling Sect shouted, "Hey, you're an old Huangsheng. I heard that the Japanese who took action a few days ago were said to be just a group of incomparable new judoists who followed the rules of not being able to wrestle the arm and not being able to play. As a result, Huo Yuanjia was defeated by Liu Zhensheng before he even came on the court..."
"Yes, yes, yes, it seems that the judo president named Wudalang had to stop the competition and proposed to use ancient jiu-jitsu to fight for life and death. It was just that the national martial arts of the Qing Dynasty were vicious and extremely vicious, and it was difficult to promote and popularize. Later, at the cocktail party, he proposed the rules of notarization, such as not moving the boxing, not kicking, not inserting the crotch, not digging the eyes, and purely focusing on falling and getting the wrestling. As long as we win, we will let the Qing Dynasty open a national martial arts museum in Japan!"
"Then did Hero Huo agree?"
"Are you nonsense? If Huo Daxia did not agree, would this Chinese warrior find our overpass?"
Speaking of this, the young and old men in the wrestling arts thrust their bodies and their faces moved slightly. Although most of them were stretching hard, they couldn't help but feel complacent. They looked at each other with a smile and raised the teacup in their hands, and said in unison: "That's right, although our wrestling arts are not as good as killing people in national arts, it is also a kung fu that can kill people. In recent years, for the sake of making a living, everyone has just practiced fake kung fu on the overpass. Now it's time to show off their true kung fu and have a long face for our Qing Dynasty..."
After hearing this, the old men burst into laughter. While drinking tea, they said slowly: "That is, the so-called "wrestling national skills" is not separated. Li, who has been practicing hard for ten years, so no one knows that he is the three heroes who are as famous as Li, the only one who has been fighting against the Chinese martial arts in the past two years is not because they have fought many foreign devils, but almost no one in our wrestling industry has been on the scene... Now the opportunity to win glory for the country has been here, and everyone has come here to choose the candidates for the competition!"
"What else do you have to choose? I want to tell me, no one of the old men here knows my senior brother Tong Zhongyi, who is the double pillar of the sky in our Baoding Wrestling Sect. As long as I go to Shanghai with Senior Brother Tong, those little Japanese people will be called without a return!"
The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties, with a purple-red face as copper, and his mouth seemed to thunder, which made others' ears buzz. However, he was a rookie in the martial arts world in Cangzhou and the direct disciple of Wu Tai Chi, Li Yuncong, because of his extraordinary talent and loves to fight, after he left the army, he did not go to the warrior club as the teacher's instructions, but ran to Tong Zhongyi and studied wrestling steadily for two years. Now in this Tianqiao wrestling arena, he is a unique young wrestling king!
The old people in the capital who were present could not hold back when Li Yuncong said this. Although Li Yuncong's kung fu was extraordinary, Tong Zhongyi was even more powerful in the martial arts world, but what they said just now was only talking about the masters of the Baoding Wrestling Sect. If this was spread in the future, how could the Beijing Wrestling Sect challenge others at the sky bridge?
"Yun Cong's virtuous nephew is sincere in serving the country, but don't forget that Zhen Saner and Li Ruidong from our Beijing Wrestling Sect are also the unbeaten wrestling kings on the overpass..."
Li Yuncong smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm convinced by Zhen San'er, but then Li Ruidong and Mr. Li are now in Henan to guard Yuan Dashuai's house and guard the hospital. He is also the honorary president of the Chinese Warrior Association. If he is willing or able to move, the Chinese Warrior Association will have to send people from Shanghai to the overpass to find us men?"
"Nonsense, in this way, didn't Tong Zhongyi just appointed as the martial arts instructor of the Imperial Guard by Emperor Xuantong? You are pretty here, but I'm afraid that others will not leave their official position and go to Shanghai to take risks!"
Seeing Li Yuncong's words and talking, the disciples of the Beijing Wrestling Sect suddenly became a little angry. Although Zhen Saner was still sitting there closing her eyes to rest, someone had already blushed and shouted.
The people on both sides naturally couldn't suppress their anger in their hearts. But after everyone shouted for a long time, Zhen Saner, who had not spoken, opened her eyes and said softly, "What are you shouting? Before we can have sex with the Japanese, we have started arguing first!"
It's strange that Zhen Saner's voice was not loud, but everyone here was listening to it. Seeing the first king of Tianqiao speaking, the people from both factions calmed down at the same time.
Li Yuncong's face was quiet, but he was extremely annoyed. Although he had made a name on the overpass in the past two years, he was still quite far away from a famous master like Zhen Saner. However, no matter how in his heart, when he saw the qi cultivation skills that exhaled and spoke, he knew that he was a master of internal martial arts who had truly understood his hands and eyes. No wonder he was called the King of Jingmen. He stood on the overpass for ten years without losing. Not to mention the distance, he would say that his senior brother Tong Zhongyi was probably just a match between him!
Seeing everyone gradually calm down, Zhen Saner's face gradually showed a smile and bowed slightly to the old and young men in the teahouse, "It is related to the national system. No matter who goes to Shanghai, it is a good thing to bring glory to the Qing Dynasty. But since it is said that it is a life-and-death battle, then those who want to go must first put their heads on their belts before talking. Don't wait to go to Shanghai. Like the little Japanese who is rushing to take action, it will embarrass our wrestling industry..."
Speaking of this, Zhen Saner paused slightly, turned her eyes to Li Yuncong, whose eyes were dripping around, and then he solemnly hugged his fists, lowered his head and bowed his head, and then slowly continued: "Tong Zhongyi, the two heroes of Cangzhou, I have never been able to meet, but I have been a great friend for a long time. It is said that Brother Tong is now the position of the chief martial arts coach of the Beijing Police Camp, which is the time to show great ambitions. But Zhen Saner believes that as long as Brother Yuncong explains the great relationship between this matter with him, Brother Tong will definitely be like us. Putting aside all his concerns and serving the country with passion, it is not much time since the little Japanese has set. I think it is really necessary for Brother Yuncong to take action..."
