Jinmen Donghe Street is crowded with people today.
Even the people in Tianjin who did not practice martial arts formed a Wuyang Wuyang crowd and gathered at an intersection in the middle of the street.
"Master Huo will always win!"
"As long as we defeat Tianjin's Tai Chi and Xingyi Sect, Master Huo will be number one in Tianjin today!"
People from all walks of life in Tianjin were shouting underground.
There were bearers, fruit stall owners, shop owners, restaurant patrons, and pedestrians on the road.
In a restaurant, a strong middle-aged man in a long robe tasted the fine Biluochun with relish.
He was accompanied by several adjutants, all in disguise. If anyone familiar with the imperial court was here, they would clearly recognize this big shot. He was clearly a big shot in Tianjin.
He is also the head of the powerful ministers in the Qing Dynasty today.
Governor-General of Zhili—Yuan Shiting.
"Let's see if there are any real masters in Tianjin's martial arts world today..."
Yuan Shiting had a smile on his face, looking forward to Huo Yuanjia on the stage and his opponent Li Youtai from Tai Chi Sect.
If there are a few masters and you happen to be training soldiers, you can ask your family to teach you how to box and kick to increase the strength of your soldiers.
The ring is made of wooden piles.
More than four feet tall.
It's higher than the three-story inn next to it.
There is only one way to go up, which is to place thirty-six wooden stakes in a circle along the three-foot arena.
Tai Chi sect Li Youtai is forty-five years old this year. He is still at the peak of his age and skill. He steps on the wooden stake step by step and his foot is extremely stable.
There is a voice communication below.
"Tai Chi is worthy of being the best boxing skill in the world. I see, Mr. Huo is going to have a hard time today. The number one spot in Tianjin is a little bit up in the air..."
"Mr. Li is the authentic Tai Chi Kungfu he inherited from the invincible Yang Luchan. He is the third generation Tai Chi disciple of the Yang family, and he has spread his wings in Tianjin..."
There were all kinds of noises under the ring.
Saying this.
After Huo Yuanjia waited for Li Youtai to go up, he looked at his opponent on the high platform from the audience, chuckled, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Li Youtai, are you prepared to be defeated by Huo today?"
Although Li Youtai showed fear of Huo Yuanjia at home, at this time in the ring, he did not give in at all and said coldly: "Master Huo, you can come up to this ring and let us talk."
In the past few days, Huo Yuanjia had played against others, and he had learned about Huo Yuanjia's depth from all aspects.
High in Kung Fu and ruthless in his attacks.
However, after all, he is still young, has a frivolous temperament, and is unstable in his lower body.
It's not easy to come up with your feet on wooden stakes. This is also the condition for him to agree to challenge today. He must first give Huo Yuanjia a head start.
It also helps him know that kung fu is not just about fists and kicks, but also requires a solid foundation of cultivation to cope with various situations.
Huo Yuanjia smiled disdainfully, jumped up and stepped onto the stake.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the two wooden stakes, his expression changed.
These thirty-six wooden stakes are indeed not good ones.
He took one step forward and then another, and then stepped out, clearly seeing that his body was unstable on the wooden stake.
This caused a burst of exclamation from below.
Even people who don't know much about martial arts can see that it was not as easy for Huo Yuanjia to come to power as it was for Li You.
"Master Huo..."
However, although his center of gravity was unstable, Huo Yuanjia's expression did not change too seriously.
During the process, he went through some dangerous processes where he almost missed the stage, but finally made it to the stage with many dangers.
After taking the stage, he exhaled, cupped his fists and smiled at the audience:
"Thank you everyone!"
Seeing that Huo Yuanjia came on stage despite being in danger, Li Youtai's expression changed slightly.
…
At this time.
Suddenly, there was another cry from the crowd.
"The people from the Xingyi Sect are here."
On a four-foot high platform.
Huo Yuanjia and Li Youtai also watched.
Standing in their position and looking at the people below, they are a bit insignificant after all, just like looking at small bean bags.
But you can see clearly.
The crowd made a way, and the leader of the Xingyi Sect was actually a young Taoist priest with a handsome face. He looked to be in his twenties, much younger than Huo Yuanjia.
The master of the hall, Wang Fengxiang, who was also very famous in Tianjin, and his three junior disciples, Liao Xiaoshan, Guan Xiuwen, and Mao Junyan, actually followed the Taoist leader like disciples.
…
In Hongbin Tower.
Yuan Shiting was slightly surprised when he saw that the person who came was a young Taoist priest, and asked the adjutant: "Didn't you hear that Wang Fengxiang's master Che Yizhai came to Tianjin? Why is it that a young Taoist priest came out? Where has this old Mr. Che Yizhai gone? "
Because Yuan Shiting has been paying close attention to the Tianjin martial arts community affairs in the "Tinmen No. 1 battle" in the past few days, the adjutant also did a lot of investigations, and he lowered his head and replied:
"I heard that half a month ago, a traitor from Xingyi Sect came back and wanted to bully his master and destroy his ancestors, and take away the reputation of his master, Mr. Che Lao. Even Wang Fengxiang, the main figure of Tianjin Xingyi Sect, was The evil disciple was beaten to death, and later when the seventy-year-old Che Yizhai had to die in person, it was this young Taoist priest who stood up for Tianjin Xingyi Sect and took care of the evil disciple."
"In the end, the evil disciple was taken away from Tianjin by Che Yizhai. I don't know what he was doing. Before leaving, I entrusted the Taoist priest to watch the Xingyi Sect for him for a while."
Yuan Shiting was slightly stunned after hearing this.
At this time, the adjutant hesitated again and said: "Actually, there are some rumors about this Taoist priest in Jinmen, saying that he has developed some kind of Qi... Then Wang Fengxiang was originally injured by Liu Changbai, the evil disciple of Xingyi. The lungs were actually cured by this Taoist priest using Qi!"
Yuan Shiting was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed blankly: "How angry! Hahaha! Sure enough, even if they are powerful with their fists and kicks, these Taoist priests on the mountain still like to do some weird things. What have they been thinking about for thousands of years?" Eating breath to become an immortal and immortal is really deceiving gods and ghosts."
Yuan Shiting, who has been in a high position for a long time, has met many martial arts masters in his life. He even met Yang Luchan when he was teaching boxing in Prince Su's Mansion in the imperial court.
Even though Yang Luchan was an invincible fighter, he didn't boast to the princes in the court about his true energy.
So as soon as Yuan Shiting heard about it, he knew that this young Taoist priest had great skills, but in fact he still did some things about false gods and ghosts to deceive the people.
Otherwise, how can he show his miraculousness as a Taoist?
After all, people are ignorant and can easily believe this.
Yuan Shiting just laughed when he heard the mysterious saying that true energy can save people.
…
Not only Governor Yuan heard about Chen Xixiang's use of Qi to save people in Xingyi Sect in the past few days, but also the people in the twenty-seven boxing gyms at the scene also heard about it.
But none of them took it seriously.
He was only surprised by Chen Xixiang's ability to knock down Liu Changbai for Che Yizhai. As for his true energy, no one would believe such a thing.
After Chen Xixiang and several people from the Xingyi Sect came to their seats.
After all, the Xingyi Sect is a big sect. Even if it was ridiculous to tell Chen Xixiang that he had true energy in his heart, no one dared to show it on the surface, and instead all gave up their seats.
"Daochang Chen, sit here. Now it's Mr. Li Youtai and Mr. Huo who are fighting against each other. Both of them are masters. It will take a while before you can take the stage." The person who gave up his seat to Chen Xixiang was the person in charge of the arena, named Zhang Shiming. The old man is like a teacher and speaks very politely.
Chen Xixiang smiled back and said thank you.
And just when Chen Xixiang entered the scene, there was already a fight on the stage.
