The key to the old ape hanging the seal is to "look back and look at the moon", and the key to hiding the flowers under the leaves is to "sneak shadows and hide the shapes".
Gong Baosen taught these two unique skills to Su Yi without reservation.
Gong Baosen even gave Su Yi his notes on his lifelong martial arts study.
"Grudges are grudges, right and wrong, grudges are small, right and wrong are big things." In the end, Gong Baosen said to Su Yi, "In my life, I have no regrets in matters of right and wrong. Gratitudes and grudges are still unbreakable.
.Don’t imitate me in the future. Those who achieve great things must be hard-hearted.”
"Master Gong, does it have to be like this?" Su Yi said in a low voice, "I can promise you that if you give me ten years, today, ten years later, no matter whether I have finished what I want to do, I will
I will tie my hands and stand in front of you to let you kill me, so that I can settle this grudge!"
Gong Baosen was a little moved, but smiled happily: "The fact that you can say this means that I, Gong Baosen, did not misjudge the person! I believe that you must have your reasons for killing San'er. It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people.
ah……"
"San'er is my disciple and the nephew of my senior brother Ding Lianshan. His revenge must be avenged, and he can't wait ten years, let alone ask about right and wrong. This is a private grudge, not justice." Gong Baosen said in a tone of voice.
Calm said, "Liangchen, if this matter is settled with me, it is the best outcome. If it's not me, it's my senior brother Ding Lianshan, my daughter Ruomei, Lao Jiang, and everyone in the Xingyi Bagua Sect."
"This hatred is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and finally it is out of control. Do you want this? I don't want this either."
"But……"
"There is no but!" Gong Baosen interrupted Su Yi, "This is also my last bit of selfishness. You killed San'er, but I promoted you to Qingyun. I feel ashamed of him... And you, Geng Liangchen
, I gave everything to you, you have to live well for me, for the sake of national martial arts, and for me."
"But don't think that I fight you just to seek death! If you have learned so many things and can't beat me, an old man who is about to die, then you can't handle such a big thing, so you deserve to die!"
Su Yi sighed: "Master Gong, have you ever thought that if you really die in my hands, how can you just let it go? If I say anything that offends you, given Miss Gong's character, I will definitely
I won't let it go. If you do this, you may harm her for the rest of her life..."
Gong Baosen's expression became a little gloomy and he was silent for a long time.
"Then you marry her!" Gong Baosen suddenly looked at Geng Liangchen, "Do you dare? Do you dare to marry a woman who has a grudge against you for killing your father?"
Su Yi was shocked and said: "Then I can't do anything to you! Master Gong, actually you really don't have to..."
"Whether it is necessary, whether it is worth it, I think about it more clearly than you." Gong Baosen interrupted Su Yi, "Although I am old, I haven't lived enough. If I didn't think about it clearly, I would
How could I make this choice? You don’t have to persuade me anymore! What’s more,..."
Gong Baosen's eyes suddenly became sharp, he stared at Su Yi and said slowly: "It's still unclear who will win!"
Su Yi couldn't persuade Gong Baosen.
In the next three days, Su Yi tried various methods, but he could not persuade Gong Baosen to give up his idea.
This stubborn old man firmly believes that only a life-and-death battle is the best way to resolve grudges, so that he can be worthy of his own heart.
No matter what Su Yi said, he was determined to do it.
In fact, Su Yi understands that there are some knots in this world that cannot be untied. The more they are untied, the tighter they become. In the end, only death can resolve them.
Maybe Gong Baosen didn't really want revenge, he just wanted to untie the knot in his heart.
Martial arts delegations from various countries arrived in Foshan one after another on the day the trials ended.
The venue for the competition was still the ancestral temple. The warriors in the south hoped to defeat all the enemies under the witness of their ancestors.
Blessed by our ancestors, future generations of warriors can resist bullying and bullying and fight against powerful enemies together.
Because the previous conflict in the Magic City was a big deal, this World Fighting Tournament, as the final solution to that conflict, has received a lot of extra attention.
Many foreign reporters came to Foshan, wanting to report on this martial arts event.
The film company that filmed the entire Chinese Martial Arts Elite Competition in Tianjin had tasted the benefits before. This time it joined forces with several companies and planned to film the competition again and screen it across the country.
Such a move allowed interested people to glimpse business opportunities, and colleagues in the West and Zhe Peng followed suit.
As delegations from various countries arrived in Foshan, this peaceful town began to become noisy and lively.
Perhaps because the commotion was too loud, the ministers from various countries stationed in Guangdong and Guangxi all expressed their intention to attend this game and plan to come to watch the game.
As a result, the Jinling authorities could no longer sit still and sent representatives from Guofu, treating the event as a diplomatic event.
Everything becomes extremely troublesome when Zheng Zhi is involved.
The event was postponed for five days. As the leader of the contestants, Su Yi also had to socialize around, accept interviews with officials, and meet with foreign guests...
To be cautious, Su Yi called Liu Haiqing and contacted the head of the San Youth League's intelligence station in Foshan, asking him to secretly protect him and his disciples.
Su Yi also contacted Yixiantian and asked him to hide in secret to deal with crises that may occur at any time.
The day before the official start of the competition, Su Yi received news that there was a person in the Teppeng delegation with the pseudonym Konosuke Oshita, whose true identity was Hideo Iwaguro, the head of the Teppeng Take Agency.
What does a spy chief want to do when he hides in the Zhe Peng martial arts delegation?
This aroused Su Yi's vigilance.
Because of the participation of Zheng Zhi, the standard of this international fighting competition has become much higher, and even an organization called the "European Fighting Association" has also participated.
The slightly exaggerated name "Wan Guo" was also changed, and the event was officially renamed "The First World Fighting Championship".
The organizer of the event became the Huaguo Martial Arts Hall, the European Fighting Association and the Zhepeng Judo Association.
Under Zhe Pengfang's "strong suggestion", some changes were made to the rules of the competition.
The game, which was originally determined in one round, became a two-round system. If the winner is still not decided in the two rounds, extra rounds will be played until the winner is decided.
The original rule was that one would lose if he was knocked down, but now the winner will be determined unless one party loses its fighting capacity or admits defeat.
Originally, this competition only held unarmed competitions, but the Zhepeng people convinced the representatives of Guofu and also "convinced" representatives from Siam, Korea and some Western countries. The final competition system was divided into two categories: unarmed and weapon.
A total of 169 contestants are free to sign up for the unarmed competition or the weapon competition, or they can sign up for both. The rules for the weapon competition are roughly the same as those for the unarmed competition, except that they must sign a "life and death certificate" before taking the stage.
.
In addition, the original rule that the game must be interrupted when one side falls to the ground has also been changed. Unless one side admits defeat, the game cannot be interrupted for any reason.
In short, all the rules are becoming favorable to Zhe Pengfang.
Although Zhang Zimin and Gong Baosen argued hard, the Guofu representatives were afraid of the Zhepeng people, and instead scolded, suppressed, and even threatened the Chinese people. In the end, all Zhepeng people's "suggestions" were adopted by the competition organizing committee.
As a player, Su Yi should avoid suspicion when it comes to the formulation of rules, and since he was not qualified to participate, he could only watch all this happen.
For such a small matter, he would not turn into a second kicker to kill the Guofu representative, or secretly threaten the Guofu representative.
Moreover, Su Yi feels that although Zhe Pengren’s changed competition system is beneficial to Zhe Pengfang, some of the rules can be regarded as improving the competition system to a certain extent and have a positive effect. They are likely to exist as standard rules for international competitions in the future.
Go down.
It is not a bad thing for Chinese warriors to adapt to these rules in advance.
Of course, the changes made by the Zhepeng people made the competition more cruel. They promoted the so-called bushido spirit and believed that a real man should be fearless.
Maybe they still have the purpose of using such rules to scare away their opponents, but it is a pity that no one, whether Chinese or foreign, has withdrawn from the competition because of this.
In addition to the competition system, the competition process has also been greatly changed.
Originally, there were a total of 169 contestants, who had to go through three rounds of knockout rounds to select the top 32 to enter the main round, and then the rankings were determined through a points system.
However, the Zhepeng people instigated many countries to oppose such a competition system, believing that such a competition system is very unreasonable, especially the points system, which is only beneficial to the Chinese.
They feel that the Chinese have the largest number of participants. If there is a points system, match-fixing will definitely occur. The Chinese will take advantage of the loopholes in the competition system to maximize their own interests.
So they proposed a elimination system.
In other words, as long as you lose, you will be eliminated.
Except for Hua and Zhe Peng, the number of participants from other countries was very small, and some countries even only had one person participating. The elimination system was too unfriendly to them, so they were unanimously opposed.
In the end, the Zhepeng people compromised and the competition system became a one-elimination knockout system and a two-elimination elimination system for the main draw.
The selection competition aims to select thirty-two players to participate in the main competition, both in the freehand and equipment competitions.
The opponents of the competition are randomly selected, so there will definitely be a civil war between the Chinese people.
In the process of drawing lots, Su Yi suggested that all the lots should be made on-site, sealed on-site, and notaries selected by representatives from various countries should be invited to draw on-site. This would eliminate all secret operations.
Su Yi was sure that if there were loopholes in the lottery rules that could be exploited, the Zhepeng people would not let go of this opportunity.
Su Yi's suggestions were supported and adopted.
At the same time, at the suggestion of Zhe Peng and the Westerners, foreign referees were also added to the referee team.
After the competition rules were negotiated and finalized, the Zhepeng people made another mistake.
They proposed that Manchuria should appear as an independent national team at the opening ceremony of the competition.
China was firmly opposed from top to bottom and even threatened to withdraw from the competition.
This time, even most of the Western representatives chose to side with China. The Zhepeng people's plot failed in the end, and the two traitor warriors who came from the northeast finally left Foshan in despair overnight.
The registration time for players is set on the first day of the competition. There are a total of 169 players, a total of 122 people registered for the freehand competition, and a total of 94 people registered for the equipment competition.
Among them, forty-seven contestants signed up for both the freehand competition and the equipment competition.
Among the forty-seven people, twenty-three were Chinese, eighteen were from Zhepeng, and a total of six were from other countries.
It is worth mentioning that except for one Bill Underwood, all of Su Yi’s apprentices only signed up for the bare-hand competition and did not participate in the equipment competition.
Early on the next morning, the grand opening ceremony began grandly.
Martial arts delegations from various countries entered the venue one after another. The event organizers and ministerial representatives from various countries all delivered enthusiastic speeches.
Next came the lottery ceremony. The numbers of the contestants were determined during registration. Su Yi was contestant No. 13—a number that is unlucky in the eyes of Westerners.
This number represents Satan.
The method of drawing lots is very simple. All the papers with numbers written on them are crumpled into balls and put into a sealed box. Then the notary will grab two paper balls at a time. The words written on these two paper balls are
The player represented by the number is the opponent who will compete.
The notary draws out the opponent, and the guy who sings the names of the dishes in Jinlou sings the number above loudly. There is a special clerk on the side who writes down the times and names of the two sides.
Today's draw will only draw opponents for the unarmed competition.
According to the schedule, the freehand competition and the equipment competition will be held one day apart.
For example, today is the unarmed competition, tomorrow is the equipment competition, and the day after tomorrow it is the unarmed competition again...
The order of the duel is also based on the order in which the notary grabs the items.
Su Yi's number was drawn later, and his opponent was a Zhepeng man named Hengyuan Xiong Zhi.
If you have never heard of this name, you should not worry about it.
After the draw, some people cheered, some were excited, and some complained.
As Hua Guo and Zhe Peng have many contestants, both sides have situations where their own people beat their own people.
Among them, Zhe Peng got four groups, and Hua Guo got seven groups!
Even among Su Yi's seven disciples, two of them were accidentally drawn together and had to fight against each other!
You can only admit that you are unlucky. After all, there are 61 games in the knockout round, and there are 52 contestants from China. Only seven groups have been drawn together, which is actually not too much.
There is only one arena set up for this event. One game plus the time for players to get on and off the field and preparation, plus the time for two rounds, is planned to last about fifteen minutes.
The schedule stipulates that there are only twenty games per day, ten games in the morning and afternoon, and a total of three days of knockout matches.
Including the equipment competition in between, it will take six days to complete the knockout rounds.
After the draw, the first group of contestants to compete was a duel between a Chinese and a Belgian boxer.
The referee is a Zhepen man.
This Chinese player is a southern martial artist named Deng Long, who is the successor of Xiajiaquan.
Xiajiaquan is different from other southern martial arts. It is rare and powerful, with a long bridge and a big horse. It is very grand when fighting.
