At ten o'clock sharp, the "Teacher's Examination" ceremony officially began.
As the crowd broke up and dispersed in twos and threes, they gathered under the wrestling altar with lingering thoughts. Yu Ye and "Wrong Leg Feng" each extended their hands to invite each other and stepped onto the altar together.
On this day, in the eyes of everyone, Mr. Yu and "Wrong Leg Feng" both shaved their faces and had their hair cut. They were also wearing black bloomers, a white crew-neck shirt, and a red ribbon tied around their waist. It looked like
So energetic and neat.
And what follows is a matter of course. As the master of the two children, Mr. Yu, and "Wrong Leg Feng" as the inviter and organizer, they all need to have an opening statement to explain to the young and old who are gathering today.
So "Wrong Leg Feng" clasped his fists at everyone and spoke first.
"Young and old gentlemen, dear comrades, I, Feng Chen, am here to greet you all first!
Speaking of which, during the "movement" in recent years, it is really not easy for the men in our family to kowtow to each other and meet each other. Besides, even if we meet, we can no longer hold hands and sweat casually as usual. Naturally
It also appears to be raw.
To be honest, I really miss you guys, and it makes my heart ache! I don’t have anything else to say, so I’ll just salute you all first. I give you the highest, revolutionary salute!”
As he said this, "Wong Leg Feng" clasped his fists again, and then bowed deeply.
This opening statement was so genuine that the crowd in the audience fell into silence. Some people's eyes were red and the corners of their eyes were wet.
Just a moment later, someone suddenly shouted.
"Hey, I said 'Wrong leg Feng', what kind of salute do you give me? No! You have to give one to us old and young men!"
Someone was actually booing?
That’s right! Heckle!
But this is not to cause trouble, but to be particular about the Tianqiao lineage!
Because these generals who relied on performing arts to make a living in those days, the most taboo was not being lively. So this is actually a kind of performance, a foil between peers, and it is the warmest and most enthusiastic way to give "Wrong Leg Feng"
A solemn response.
And as soon as someone stepped forward, there was another big roar under the altar. Almost everyone shouted in unison, "Kow--!"
The tone was both exciting and festive, but also contained a certain familiarity and closeness. From the Buddhist temple courtyard with red walls and gray tiles, it reached straight into the sky!
Regarding this, although Mr. Yu on the stage was a little confused because of his confusion, he instantly regained his composure as "Wrong Leg Feng" gave him a "nothing" look in his eyes.
As for "Wrong Leg Feng"'s own emotions, he was completely excited by this. His eyes lit up, and he let out a long laugh of "ha". Then he said in a slightly playful way, as if talking about cross talk.
Everyone in the audience started joking.
"You guys, young and old, don't you know who the other is? I, Feng Chen, have been in the wrestling ring for many years and gained a false reputation. I became a national coach by luck. In fact, I have little talent and little knowledge. I am a rotten tree and a bastard.
Hanging at the gate is a lantern that does not light up. All year round, I have relied on the help of everyone to have food, so it is natural for you to ask me to kowtow to one. It's just that I am wrong today.
I really can’t knock this head off. It’s not for anything else, it’s all because of the great love of this famous wrestling star..."
At this point, when everyone was still laughing, "Wrong Leg Feng" changed his face again. He bowed respectfully to Master Yu, and then continued.
"...I am fortunate enough to have become the two direct disciples of the old senior, and the organizers of today's 'Teacher's Examination'. So it can be said to be 'raising the banner and pulling the tiger's skin'. Since I have got someone else's glory, even if
Even if we try to borrow someone else’s power by pretending to be a tiger, we have to show off like this!”
As soon as he said the words "Wrong leg Feng", even though Mr. Yu repeatedly raised his hands to the audience behind him, humbly saying "I don't dare". But since there was a "button" in the words, naturally there were many people who took the initiative to join in the fun.
Sure enough, a voice quickly sounded from under the altar.
"Mr. Feng, the man next to you seems to be a highly respected and respected man. But forgive me for my poor eyesight, and I really don't know him. Please introduce him to everyone! It will also give us a long experience.
!”
What is this called? This is called "when you doze off, someone will give you a pillow". Whatever you lack will come to you.
"Wrong leg Feng" quickly said haha again, and then followed the conversation and returned to the topic.
"Brother, you are right. You are really short-sighted if you don't know this man. But if you want to ask who this man is? Then we have to talk about the old man in the wrestling industry.
All young and old men know that there is a saying that everyone knows, "The trip in Xiying is the same as the Kuai in Dongying, and the official wrestling in Lao Yu's family is not in the competition." This saying is actually the source of praise and derogation for Beijing wrestling.
Ying means that the wrestlers in the West Ying are good at tripping, and the wrestlers in the Dongying are good at strength. The last sentence of "Old Yu's Family" refers to the fact that both the east and west camps of the Shantou Ying were recognized as having the most outstanding wrestling skills.
A victorious family with the most outstanding martial arts..."
Having said this, "Wrong Leg Feng" once again pointed his finger at Master Yu, and then shouted loudly and proudly.
"Everyone, listen carefully! This old man is not only the only true successor of Shanpuying Laoyu's family official wrestling, but also a close friend of Master Wan Ba, Master Rui, and Master Niujie Shan. He also wants to be a powerful figure in the capital in the past.
We participated in various major events such as 'Defending soldiers from the bloody battle at Dashilan', 'Setting up a wrestling hall to compete with the martial arts community', 'Punishing the rebels in Nancheng's competition', 'Kicking the martial arts hall to kill enemies for the son' and other major events.
A proud and honorable man! Yu Jin—Master Yu!"
This allegorical introduction was delivered in one go, and came out of Wrong Leg Feng's mouth like a barrage of firepower. The effect was like lighting up a dynamite pack.
There was only a moment or two of shocked silence, and then, like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan, the whole place almost exploded, with cheers and cheers everywhere.
Why do they have such a big reaction?
Hi, needless to say, the old people all know something about the past. The reputation of the old Yu family and the legendary deeds of Master Yu are really familiar to them. Although the younger generation does not know much about it, after some experience
I asked for advice, and as soon as I got a rough idea, I already respected Lord Yu as a true god.
The most important thing is that Mr. Yu’s seniority is there. Mr. Wanyong, Shunwan and Ba are the ancestors of the Baoshanlin lineage, and Mr. Shande Baoshan is the golden sign of Niujie for hundreds of years. They are close friends.
Friend? To everyone, Master Yu is clearly their living ancestor!
Who dares to be disrespectful? Who can not be surprised?
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not expect their master to have such great achievements and fame in the wrestling industry, and they suddenly felt a sense of excitement and excitement!
However, this lively scene did not last long. As several questions appeared in everyone's minds, everyone's enthusiasm quickly cooled down in some unspeakable embarrassment. So the cheers in front of the Heavenly King's Hall soon became
Sparsely, many people started whispering with doubts.
"Wrong Leg Feng" didn't rub the sand in his eyes and knew the reason for this. He had already expected this, so he cleared everyone's doubts without any hesitation.
"Everyone, please listen to me again. In fact, I know what everyone is turbulent in. It is just that they are still thinking about the past values and think that official wrestling and civilian wrestling are two carriages running on two roads. For me, who has no father, I have no idea.
My mother, who relied on flyovers to survive since she was a child, today has to organize the scene for the "official leg" who was born in the imperial palace. It feels strange, or maybe I feel that I am overestimating my capabilities.
But I want to say that none of us can deny that the roots of Beijing wrestling are originally in Shanpuying. If we trace the origin, I am afraid that everyone here is also the fruit of that branch. This
That's right?
And another point is that the so-called distinction between official wrestling and civilian wrestling is actually a thing of the past. Nowadays, let alone official wrestling, the wrestling ground in Tianqiao has been withdrawn. After so many years of 'movement',
Even the wrestling class in the sports school has no one left. Look at all of us here, most of us have seen gray hair. There are too few young people in their twenties and thirties. Please think carefully, everyone.
How many young people are still willing to work hard to learn wrestling today? Without the next generation, where will the future of our wrestling industry be?
Let me tell you, what we should do most today is not to distinguish between each other, but to unite closely to revitalize Beijing Wrestling. So I even think that the two senior students today are willing to step up
This Taoist is still willing to become one of our own, which is obviously a great event for our entire wrestling industry! Shouldn’t I be able to do my best? Shouldn’t you all come to support this event? "
"Wrong leg Feng" is very reasonable. No one can really pick out the "bone", and it is quite recognized by everyone. However, even so, there is another problem that makes people feel awkward.
.
"Master Feng, everything you said is right. If we don't understand this truth, we are worse than just children. But there is one thing. The 'Teacher Examination' has always been for the elders to test the younger ones, even if the same generation is also the senior brother to test the junior brother, this matter...
"
The person who made the suggestion started to smack his lips when he said this. Smart people don’t need to speak clearly. "Wrong Leg Feng" immediately understood why this was and came to persuade him again.
"I have to tell you. Mr. Yu is already eighty-five this year. Not to mention that he is my grandfather's generation according to the family's seniority. Even according to his age, there is no doubt that I should call him uncle or uncle. But the old man is kind and righteous.
, condescended to me, but refused to accept my great gift. Moreover, I insisted that my two apprentices treat me with the courtesy of their elders. Why? Isn’t it because they are afraid of making us look bad?
To be honest, these two children today are the old man's closed disciples. You can't live up to the old man's good intentions and end up being humble in relation to your seniority and find excuses not to leave, right?
Don’t forget, as the saying goes, if you miss this village, you won’t be able to find this store. If you are still unwilling to give me advice, even if we want to measure the wealth of the descendants of Shanpuying in the future, I’m afraid we won’t have this opportunity!”
As the saying goes, "The reason is unclear", "Wrong Leg Feng" made the old people nod frequently, and also successfully aroused the emotions of some young people who were full of blood.
"Master Feng, what you said makes sense!" Someone in the crowd roared in response, "Now, when you get on stage, you first have to pay homage to the great leader. When you get off stage, you have to pay homage to your elders. As long as you have the gold
As soon as you open your mouth, you can decide whatever you say. Besides, this Jade Lord is virtuous, benevolent and righteous, and is an old man who has made great contributions to the wrestling industry. We are all willing to do our part!"
Later, many echoing voices came from the altar, "We are willing to do our duty!"
By this time, all the preparations for "Wrong Leg Feng" had been laid. Seeing that everything was in order, Mr. Yu called Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to the wrestling ring together and gave a lecture in public.
In fact, this is all the proper meaning, and it is nothing more than to pay attention to martial ethics and humbly seek advice from senior wrestling colleagues. As for the really important precautions and rules and procedures, I have already told you at home.
But in the end, Master Yu still couldn't help but rush to the altar and clasp his fists, and then made another solemn entrustment to everyone.
"We don't worship the ancestors in our wrestling world. We always speak for our true ability. Today, everyone is giving me face. I have to thank you all, old and young, for lifting me up! The two apprentices I have accepted cannot be said to be good teachers, but they can be regarded as trying their best. Today
Let the two of them show their faces. Are they handsome birds on the mountain, a BMW and a good horse? Or are they useless snacks and wallowing wild donkeys? I will ask you to take care of me!"
"Old man, please don't be polite!"
This is the one who started yelling just now, and he has a lot of wisecracks.
"A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to the wind, and the eggs laid by Haidongqing cannot hatch into night owls! You, a tiger does not give birth to a cat. Don't worry, leave it to us, I guarantee you won't make a mistake!"
"You can't be wrong!" the crowd shouted again.
This finally came to the end of the ceremony.
The last process at the end was for all the young and old men in the audience to stand solemnly with their hands behind their backs and their chests and belly raised. But "Wrong Leg Feng" energetically faced everyone on the altar and took the lead to start loudly instructing the wrestling field.
"Commandments".
This thing is purely derived from the folk. Not to mention Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, even Yu Ye has never seen this new scene. So they can't follow it and can only watch from the sidelines.
I saw "Wrong Leg Feng" shouting loudly first.
"There is no righteousness in the hands, and no brothers under the feet. The wrestling field is like a killing field. The victory, defeat, and death are all taken care of by heaven. Do not bear grudges, do not bear grudges, and do not take revenge. Three feet above your head is the blue sky, and the blue sky has eyes! Three inches under the skin is your conscience.
Conscience has no roots! Do you dare to face God with your conscience?
Everyone under the altar shouted in unison, "People are taller than the sky, and their hearts are bigger than the earth!"
"Wrong leg Feng" shouted again, "I bumped it and it bleeds - what should I do?"
Everyone responded, "A blank piece of paper! Cover it!"
"Wrong leg Feng" shouted again, "Broken arm and leg - what should I do?"
Everyone should "Spit! Stick!"
"Wrong Leg Feng" shouted, "Exercise!"
Everyone followed, "Defend the motherland!"
"Wrong leg Feng" said the last word, "Excellent in wrestling!"
Everyone shouted in unison like a military parade, "Live up to your ancestors!"
The tone was deep and deep, like thunder, rumbling incessantly!
At this point, the ceremony is completed!
Immediately afterwards, "Wrong Leg Feng" stood at the edge of the wrestling altar like an army, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Liquan on the altar, and then turned around and shouted at the altar.
"The first line-up is Chen Liquan! Come on, all the men who want to join us, please sign up and let the wrestling begin!"
As a result, this sound caused a "hurrah", and four or five young people volunteered and rushed to the altar.
