Chen Daqiu shook his head and sighed: "The kind of master you mentioned only exists in legends, and has not been seen in reality for hundreds of years. You have achieved this at such a young age, which is truly amazing."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled modestly and said: "The old man is too complimentary. I just practiced blindly on my own without any rules. The old man is the real master. I see that your painting skills are as good as the back of paper. Your palm skills must be extraordinary. I am afraid that you are the best in the world." Everyone has one of the best palm skills."
Chen Daqiu waved his hand and said politely: "My friend, that's too flattering. I just have some experience in palm skills and I don't dare to tell anyone else. I invite you here today. On the one hand, I want to learn martial arts. On the other hand, I have some experience." I have a question to ask my friend."
Zhang Yongsheng thought for a while and asked tentatively: "You want to know the secret of King Li?"
Chen Daqiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhang Yongsheng to be so direct. He nodded and said: "Yes, the origin of King Li's martial arts is unknown, and he has a gangster background in Nanyang, so it has to be worrying."
"Wang Li has a gang background?" Zhang Yongsheng heard this for the first time and asked doubtfully: "Isn't his boss Li Xiaoli the CEO of a real estate company? How could he be related to the gang?"
Chen Daqiu explained: "Li Xiaoli's origin is also very mysterious, but the predecessor of her company was a gangster in Hong Kong Island. Later, it was laundered and listed on Hong Kong Island, dressing herself up as a legitimate businessman. She came from a person with extraordinary skills and went to the mainland It’s definitely not just about doing business.”
Zhang Yongsheng nodded and sighed: "The old gentleman investigated very thoroughly. I didn't expect that he even found out the details about Li Xiaoli. In this case, didn't the old gentleman find out their intentions?"
Chen Daqiu shook his head and said: "If I can find out, I won't bother my little friend. I won't hide it from you, although I travel around the world, I still have a few friends in the officialdom. They entrusted me to find out things, and I also It’s hard to shirk it. I’m new to martial arts, I hope you can understand.”
Zhang Yongsheng's heart moved and he said with a smile: "If my guess is right, your official friends are also very interested in my origins, right? Have you made any strange requests?"
Chen Daqiu's face turned red and he said coquettishly: "Don't get me wrong, little friend. This is for the sake of social stability. There is no other malicious intent. You can say what you want, and don't force yourself if you don't want to. I just want to go. It's just a formality to keep them from making noises."
Zhang Yongsheng thought for a while and sighed: "I can't tell you about my martial arts background. You can find out my personal information, and there is nothing to hide. I can only promise you that I will not commit murder or arson, and I will not allow others to bully me." .As long as the officials act in accordance with the law, everything will be fine."
Chen Daqiu nodded, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, as long as I have this little friend, I can hand over to them. But the Shahe Gang is not easy to deal with. There are too many cases in this gang, so you'd better be cautious. "
Zhang Yongsheng nodded and said: "I know about the Shahe Gang, but that is all in the past. Tang Fusheng has passed away, and Tang Jiawei is transforming to clear his name. Why do you hold on to it? If the Shahe Gang can successfully turn into a serious business, It’s also a great thing for society and the country.”
Chen Daqiu agreed: "I know this. But they have too many old cases. Even if Wulin doesn't intervene, some old cases will still be traced to them."
Zhang Yongsheng smiled and said: "The old cases of the Shahe Gang are none of my business. As long as you don't bully ordinary people and everything is handled in accordance with the current laws, I will happily stand by and watch."
Chen Daqiu said cautiously: "We martial arts people generally do not interfere in the affairs of ordinary people. No matter how common these ordinary gang cases are, professional agencies will be responsible for them. Unless they invite martial arts people to obstruct the handling of the case, professional agencies will seek to cooperate with them. Martial arts people help.”
Zhang Yongsheng nodded and promised: "As long as the formal legal procedures are followed, I will not intervene in any case about the Shahe Gang. But if someone needs to expand the scope of the attack and use the case to make a fuss, I will not stand idly by. I only ask that Wulin matters be handled as The rules of the martial arts are followed, nothing more."
Chen Daqiu sighed: "My friend can be so reasonable, so I can explain it to my superiors. We are still investigating Li Xiaoli's matter. I wonder if you have any news?"
Zhang Yongsheng was silent, hesitant to tell the secrets of Li Xiaoli and King Li. He is also very greedy for the resources on Hong Kong Island. The revival of traditional martial arts requires not only internal efforts, but also communication with the outside world. Li Xiaoli's path is the external channel.
Seeing Zhang Yongsheng's silence, Chen Daqiu explained: "The official does not want to take action against them. In fact, they are Hong Kong Islanders, and many actions are not that simple to execute. The official just wants to find out their purpose and intention. Nip problems in the bud.”
Zhang Yongsheng hesitated again and again and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I can only tell you that they are not martial arts people, and they do not practice martial arts. Their fighting power is indeed not weak, but they did not obtain it through martial arts training. As for the channel, you can investigate it yourself."
Chen Daqiu frowned, thoughtfully, and the room became quiet. Zhang Yongsheng sipped his tea and didn't say much. He has gone to the limit in providing this information. No matter how much he says, it will not be good for both parties. He didn't want to care about this kind of thing at all, and he only said this for Jin Kai's face.
After a while, Chen Daqiu nodded and said: "Enough, these are enough, let others have a headache for the rest. You are right, people in the martial arts world should pay less attention to external affairs, otherwise the gain may not be worth the loss."
That night Chen Daqiu treated Zhang Yongsheng to a delicious vegetarian meal at Jinling Temple, accompanied by his apprentices Yuan Zhen and Jin Kai. Yuan Zhen is a monk from Jinling Temple. He is in his mid-twenties and has strong muscles. It can be seen that he started practicing martial arts. His martial arts is strong and domineering.
He was very respectful to Chen Daqiu, but very unconvinced to Zhang Yongsheng. When the two met, they wanted to shake hands to measure Zhang Yongsheng, but their opponent used the softness of his palm to get rid of him. He tested Zhang Yongsheng three times at the dinner table, but Zhang Yongsheng easily resolved them all, leaving him helpless.
After resting for half an hour after the meal, several people went to an open space not far outside the temple to compete in martial arts. This open space can be reached by walking from the back door of Jinling Temple and walking along the stone road for ten minutes. This is a temple where people perform rituals. The environment is relatively quiet and a bit eerie at night.
Yuan Zhen and Jin Kai each carried a large, charged, bright flashlight to lead the way, while Chen Daqiu and Zhang Yongsheng walked behind. The two of them had just agreed to compete in martial arts, and they also meant to test each other. Chen Daqiu represents the official, and Zhang Yongsheng also wants to know the level of current martial arts masters.
After a while, the four of them arrived at the location, which was an open space of more than 100 square meters with bluestone slabs on the ground. It is surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are some temples and mountain people's tombs in the distance. The environment is very secluded. It's very quiet here at night, suitable for doing some more private things.
