Chapter 81: Leopard-headed Lin Chong (1)
It is the first month of the New Year, but the celebration atmosphere in Tokyo Bianliang City is much stronger than before the New Year.
This is a natural thing, because today's New Year's Day is not just New Year's Eve. At this time, both the people and officials have to wait until the entire Chinese New Year's Day is to be considered a new year. Moreover, unlike the busy preparations and worshiping ancestors and gods around New Year's Eve, people are only in the first lunar month when they are walking around, visiting relatives and friends, or traveling around.
In addition, the weather this year is pretty good, and the sky is clear after the third year of the Chinese New Year, and people have walked out of their homes to enjoy this rare leisure time. This has made all the hotels in Bianjing City have good business. Even the Niulou Hotel, which just happened, seems to have come out of the disaster and opened again.
In fact, after Zhang Bingcang, the head of the family suddenly died in prison and was then given a conclusive evidence of the crime, the Zhang family completely disbanded, and the Niulou Hotel, which originally belonged to them, quickly changed its owner. After the Chinese New Year, everyone had even forgotten these sensational cases. After all, everyone had to look forward, who would spend too much effort on people they didn't know?
Not only are the restaurants on Yu Street far more business than usual, but the abortion in the Daxiangguo Temple area is more than twice as many as usual. Men, women, young and old are flocking to them. They either buy the items they need, burn incense to the Buddha to seek peace for the family in the new year, or simply to join in the fun. Anyway, the crowds around Xiangguo Temple are really crowded and lively.
Only when the vegetable garden is far away from the main entrance and in a remote place is quieter.
However, the vegetable garden is not much quieter today. In the open space in front of several tiled houses, a group of men gathered around and cheered. Among them, Sun Tu was playing with Lu Zhishen with a stick. The two of them kept wandering, and the sticks were flying, and the fight was very fierce with the sound of the wind.
Although Sun Tu has only been learning the skills of guns and sticks from Lu Zhishen for more than two months, based on his own understanding of martial arts, he has gradually figured out some tricks. Therefore, even if he confronts Lu Zhishen head-on, he is no longer completely passive as before, but can fight with him for a long time.
However, compared to Lu Zhishen's swing of each stick, he could find the most suitable attack point while making a sound, Sun Tu still obviously had more defense and less attack, but he only relied on his light and agile body to support him. It seemed that every stick could hit him, but he could still dodge him dangerously, and at the same time he saw a flaw and then counterattacked.
This kind of fight naturally made Tang Shiwu and others dizzy. They knew that they could not get beaten by three or five moves, but Sun Tu actually fought with Lu Zhishen for more than 30 moves, which made them admire Sun Tu even more, and even kept cheering and cheering him up.
Only Ya'er's face in the crowd turned a little white because of nervousness. Seeing that the third brother was almost swept by Brother Lu with a stick every time, her heart was about to hop out of her throat. Even though the little girl had great confidence in Sun Tu, she was still worried about the third brother when she saw Lu Zhishen's attack like a storm, for fear that the other party would hurt people accidentally.
Only Sun Tu himself knew that although it seemed dangerous, he had gradually figured out the other party's moves, which was enough to protect himself. Lu Zhishen also noticed this clearly, which made him feel a little anxious. He immediately shouted softly, his wrist trembled, and used the dot-word technique to force Sun Tu to retreat, and suddenly took a step back half a step, then clenched the stick with both hands, pressed the top of Taishan, and hit Sun Tu's face and smashed it down.
During this battle, Lu Zhishen found that he often could not use his strength enough. This was Sun Tu's strategy of cleverly using distance to balance the power gap between the two sides. He originally had no idea of breaking the enemy with his strength, but after he couldn't fight, he stopped holding back and pulled away to widen the distance, and then thought of defeating the enemy with one move.
Seeing Lu Zhishen hit him with a fierce stick, Sun Tu's expression became extremely solemn. He quickly put his legs on his horse stance and held the stick up with his hands to meet him. This stick had covered his three left and right sides, making him unable to find a way out and could only resist him head-on.
In the blink of an eye, the two sticks had already collided heavily, making a crisp sound. As Sun Tu's footsteps retreated backwards, the stick in his hand suddenly broke from the middle and divided into two pieces. Lu Zhishen's stick had a great force and was extremely accurate, and he actually broke the hard and flexible whistle stick in an instant.
This was indeed beyond the expectations of everyone present. The men all exclaimed, and Yaer was even more shocked and screamed: "Be careful, third brother..."
However, Lu Zhishen's stick did not mean to recycle Sun Tu's weapons just because it interrupted Sun Tu's weapon, but continued to fall and headed straight to Sun Tu's top gate.
What a good Sun Tu, even if he was suddenly in trouble, he was not confused. Seeing the stick pressing on his head, his body suddenly turned, and he only used his waist to attack the iron bridge, which made him beat him over his head. Lu Zhishen's reaction was not slow. After this move failed, he shook his wrist and swept the stick across again, sweeping towards Sun Tu's neck.
At the same time, Sun Tu, who was originally completely passive, exerted force on his feet, and while his body was still bent, he rushed forward. At the same time, the stick that broke into two pieces of his hand was regarded as a short sword, and he stabbed the opponent's heart and lower abdomen in a flash.
Looking at this loss-making style, the men had no response, and Ya'er even screamed, closing her eyes and didn't dare to look.
But just when both of them were about to be hit, their movements suddenly stopped, and they stopped suddenly at a few inches left of the other person's body. There was no real scary situation, which made everyone feel relieved. At the same time, many people found that their backs were soaked in cold sweat.
At this moment, a burst of applause suddenly came from outside the yard, and there was also a cheer: "Two good martial arts and good skills!" No one noticed that when was someone watching the fight outside.
After Sun Tu and Lu Zhishen looked at each other and showed admiration, they slowly stopped and stood back. Then, Lu Zhishen turned to look at the person who was talking outside: "Who is this brother? Can you come in and talk?"
The man agreed and pressed his hand on the courtyard wall half a person high. The man jumped in like a kite, and at the same time he clasped his fists and said, "Xiao Ke just saw that the two of them were so skillful that they bothered them, so he even disturbed them. Please forgive me." As he said that, he bowed again, which seemed very polite.
Those men wanted to pursue the investigation, but seeing this person apologizing, it was not easy to get into trouble. Sun Tu was looking at the person's appearance. He was a man in his thirties, with a tall body, slightly dark skin, a protruding forehead, a pair of bright eyes, and a beard under his chin, he looked handsome and extraordinary. And just from the relaxed appearance of the other party entering the hospital, he could tell that his skills were extraordinary, so he spoke: "I don't know that you have a great name. It seems that you are a martial arts practitioner."
"Xiao Ke Lin Chong, now he has obtained a position in the imperial guards, and he really knows some tricks." The man smiled humbly.
As soon as he said that, Sun Tu was stunned - Lin Chong, Leopard Head Lin Chong, 800,000 Imperial Guards' Instructor, Leopard Head Lin Chong?
The reason why he was so confused was that he was influenced by later film and television works. Because in those TV series, those who played Lin Chong looked gentle and more like scholars than martial artists. But after being stunned, Sun Tu knew that the person in front of him should be the Lin Chong he thought he was the one he thought. This was not only because of the same name and surname, but also because of the same attitude, but also because of the fact that this person really could afford the leopard head. The slightly protruding forehead was like the head of a cheetah, and the calm and capable temperament of a master exuding on his body was enough to prove this.
At this time, Lu Zhishen's question completely finalized the answer: "Lin Chong? Are you the coach of the 800,000 imperial guards today, and Lin Chonglin, who is called the leopard head?"
Lin Chong was slightly stunned, but then he smiled and said, "What this master said is that Xiao Ke is the instructor of the Imperial Guard, Lin Chong, who got the nickname of a leopard head because of this look, which makes you laugh."
