He Ming, Huo Yuanjia's disciple, the leader and head coach of the martial arts team, solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Brothers and sisters, it depends on today whether you can show off our country's prestige overseas, everyone, cheer up!"
"Try your best, even if you die!" the nine team members shouted in unison.
Different from history, the team members were arranged in the auxiliary venue that time. It was not until a week before the Olympic Games that they were lucky enough to meet Hitler to watch in person.
Now it is the main venue for the opening ceremony. Logically speaking, there will be no programs from non-hosting countries. This only shows that Zhou Hexuan's reputation is too great.
The performance venue has become more formal, and the performances must also be formal because time is limited and must be completed within a certain number of minutes.
The first person to appear was the female player Zhai Lianyuan. She was wearing a purple training suit, holding a sword in her left hand and a shuttlecock in her right hand. She took two steps at a sprint, turned over in the air, and when she landed again, the shuttlecock had already flown to her instep, and then she continued
Kick out difficult tricks such as "Su Qin Back Sword" and "Two Dragons Spitting Pearls".
The small shuttlecock is flying around Zhai Lianyuan like butterflies. This is no longer playing shuttlecock, but a performance art.
Suddenly, Fu Shuyun, who was born in the Jinmen martial arts world, came on the stage with two swords in his hand to kill. Zhai Lianyuan kicked in the air, and the shuttlecock flew towards Fu Shuyun's face. Fu Shuyun easily slapped it away with the sword, turned over and slashed at Zhai Lianyuan with the sword.
Zhai Lianyuan didn't use his sword to block, he just kept dodging, and his two swords missed her every time.
This kind of martial arts double performance routine has been common in later generations, but where have foreigners seen it today? They only saw the flashing light of the sword, and Zhai Lianyuan's whole person was shrouded in the light of the sword. It was so thrilling that it made people risk their vests.
sweat.
Then, the third female contestant, Liu Yuhua, came on the stage with a spear, shaking the spear and stabbed Fu Shuyun. The two-person sparring instantly turned into a three-person melee, and the difficulty doubled. If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured.
The light of knives, swords, and guns mingled one after another, so fast that no shadow could be seen, and more than 100,000 spectators screamed and applauded.
The performance of the female team members continued, but they gradually moved to the sidelines and gave up the court to the male players who were behind the stage. Kou Yunxing rushed in dragging the Guan Gong sword, while other team members carried several bricks and placed them on the sidelines.
Compared with the sparring performance of the female team members, Kou Yunxing's sword dance was not that beautiful. It is difficult for a real guy weighing 64 pounds to perform well with it.
but……
"when!"
The machete struck the bricks violently, and even the audience sitting further back could hear the loud noise.
The six bricks placed neatly were all split into two halves, and even the temporary stage floor was cracked.
Other team members came on stage one after another, and those who came in front continued to perform on the sidelines, trying out their unique skills one by one, dazzling the audience of more than 100,000 people.
Zheng Huaixian sang the big axis today and was the last one to appear. He was especially good at flying forks. This thing was a bit like the trident in Western mythology, which immediately aroused the strong interest of the entire audience.
I saw Zheng Huaixian opening and closing, leaping and moving, the steel fork dancing as fast as lightning, up and down, left and right like a dragon coiling around.
The other team members all stopped at this moment, standing not far from Zheng Huaixian with apples on their heads.
Just when the audience was puzzled, Zheng Huaixian stabbed an apple on the head of a teammate with his fork, and then stabbed out a few more apples with the steel fork.
With only the last apple left, Zheng Huaixian stepped back a few meters, used the posture of throwing a javelin, and threw the steel fork forward.
Whoosh!
The steel fork made a sound of breaking through the air, accurately pierced into the apple, and fell several meters away from the stage.
Zheng Huaixian's nickname in Shanghai Wulin is Flying Shaxian!
Hitler was so shocked that he stood up suddenly, clapped his hands and applauded but felt unhappy, waved his fist vigorously and said: "Well done!"
Zhou Hexuan was also shocked and said to himself: "They really dare to play. This is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. If your hands shake, someone will die."
Wang Zhengting also broke out in a cold sweat and said with an ugly face: "You are so bold, so bold. Fortunately, nothing happened."
The performance of the Chinese martial arts team has shocked the audience. Many Western reporters took pictures frantically for free. It is hard to believe that there is such a magical fighting skill in the world.
These days, both the East and the West, and the West and the East, have a strong desire to explore.
In the early 1930s, several long-necked people from Southeast Asia came to the UK, which excited the British for a whole year. Some people even rushed to London from Ireland just to see the close human relatives of giraffes. The circus relied on the long-necked people.
The ticket revenue is enough to last for several lifetimes.
Many Europeans and Americans firmly believe that mysterious witchcraft exists in places like Egypt, India and China.
And Chinese martial arts are probably now regarded as a type of witchcraft...
After the closing ceremony, Hitler met with the martial arts team members and personally touched Zheng Huaixian's flying fork.
"This knife is very big. Is it also a fighting weapon?" Hitler asked, pointing to the Daguan knife.
Kou Yunxing smiled and said: "This is called Daguandao. It is used for training and performance. It weighs sixty-four kilograms."
When Hitler heard the translation, he obviously didn't believe it and asked his guards to pick it up and test the weight.
The guard was about 1.85 meters tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a strong build. He was a standard "Aryan". He casually took Kou Yunxing's Daguan Dao and his whole body was pushed forward, almost falling down and making a fool of himself.
"Amazing Chinese fighting skills!" Hitler exclaimed.
After receiving Hitler's praise, Cheng Tianfang was immediately elated and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, there are many strange people in China, and what you see today is just the best of them. I think that China and Germany can use this to start exchanges and deepen the relationship between the two countries."
national friendship.”
Hitler's brainwaves did not match, and he muttered: "There are actually many people like this in China. Is this a manifestation of the superpowers of the gods?"
Cheng Tianfang was confused when he heard this and didn't know how to answer the question.
Zhou Hexuan stood nearby and smiled and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, I have written three martial arts books in China, and they discuss internal strength in the books. You can regard it as a super power."
"Internal strength?" Hitler repeated this transliterated word.
"Yes, it's internal strength." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Hitler said: "I will ask someone to translate it right away."
The meeting with the Führer was very short, and the martial arts team members took out their notebooks one after another, hoping that Hitler would leave his signature.
Hitler was still very keen on signing autographs, and he would write his name every time. He also asked the German National Photography Troupe to film the performance materials of the Chinese martial arts team as soon as possible, keep them properly and compile them into documentaries for research and study purposes.
Well, Hitler really did this in history.
When Hitler left, he asked his secretary to present an Olympic commemorative book to each member of the martial arts team on his behalf.
After Hitler had disappeared, Cheng Tianfang said worriedly: "Mr. Zhou, how could you deceive the Führer? The internal skills in martial arts are all made up. If Mr. Hitler really uses them to study, there will be trouble."
It’s an international joke.”
"Anyway, he likes to mess around, let him slowly study his internal strength." Zhou Hexuan laughed heartily.
Here, we feel sorry for the literary translation in Germany. The trilogy of "The Condor Shooting" is so tiring to be translated into German that I would vomit blood.
