At the beginning of the 20th century, Li Shu went to Fengtian as a guest at the invitation of his general Xu Lanzhou.【】
Zhang Zuolin, the commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, had heard of the name "Sharp Gun Li Shu" for a long time, so he personally paid a visit and was appointed as the chief martial arts teacher of the three armed forces of the Fengjun Army.
Xu Lanzhou's son Xu Jiafu was a disciple of Li Shu. Li Shu had no choice but to agree to Zhang Zuolin's invitation because of Xu Lanzhou's face.
Li Shu took office on his first day and was personally accompanied by Zhang Zuolin to the Guards training ground.
At that time, it was Japan that supported Zhang Zuolin, the Fengcian warlord. Therefore, the martial arts instructors in Zhang Zuolin's troops were mainly Japanese, followed by Chinese.
When Li Shu met Zhang Zuolin and other generals on the viewing platform, everyone realized that the famous "Sharp Gun Li" invited by Master Zhang for them was a lean, dry, short old man.
Everyone felt that it was too difficult to deal with. Following the instructions of Adjutant Zhang Zuolin, all the martial arts instructors showed off their skills, and the audience applauded continuously.
But Li Shu showed no expression on his face, let alone applauded to cheer him up, which angered Japanese martial arts instructors Okamoto, Murano and others who had long wanted to compete with Li Shu.
Okamoto proposed to Zhang Zuolin that he wanted to compete with Li Shu in martial arts, but the conditions were: if Li Shu won, Li Shu would serve as an instructor here, and all the Japanese would leave; if Li Shu lost, they must leave immediately.
Zhang Zuolin also wanted to see how high Li Shu's kung fu was and whether it was as evil as people said, so he asked Li Shu's opinion with his eyes.
When Li Shu heard what Zhang Zuolin meant, he was already furious with the Japanese challenge, so he said: "Comparing skills between two people is not a child's play. It is inevitable that I will be injured. I am a bad old man who is about to die, and the Japanese are injured."
What I mean; but
If I hurt Japan, how can the Japanese authorities give up on you, Marshal Zhang? Well, let us each make a life and death certificate according to the rules: No matter who is injured or disabled, no one will pay with his life, so that I can fight with the Japanese.
.”
Zhang Zuolin had seen Okamoto's Kung Fu, and thought to himself: Li Shu is over 50 years old, and he doesn't know how to use his muscles and bones, so how can he hurt Okamoto? If Okamoto hurt Li Shu, it probably won't be fatal. I am the commander-in-chief.
, and also gave an explanation to Xu Lanzhou.
So it was agreed that both parties would sign a life and death contract, and Li Shu walked off the stage to confront Okamoto.
Okamoto, who had written the book of life and death, became even more arrogant. He waved his palms impatiently and struck at Li Shu's neck like a tiger catching a sheep.
Li Shu quickly dodged sideways and struck Okamoto on the shoulder with a palm. Okamoto's shoulder blade was immediately shattered.
The Japanese martial arts instructors were unconvinced and wanted to compete with Li Shu, but Zhang Zuolin stopped him.
Li Shu used his skills to travel around the world all his life, and for nearly forty years he never met an opponent, and his boxing, sword, and spear skills were injured by many. He traveled far and wide, and no one could tell how many apprentices he taught in his life.
So basically few people know that Mr. Zhou Shan is a registered disciple of Li Shu. Even Li Xia doesn't know this. They think that Zhou Shan's Bajiquan is passed down from another lineage.
Bajiquan was very famous in the modern martial arts world. Along with Xingyimen, its popularity completely surpassed that of Taijimen and Baguamen. It was very popular for a while. There were many powerful disciples under Li Shu's sect, and they were very famous at that time.
He is a well-known master and respected by the world.
Huo Diange, an early disciple of Li Shu, once defeated Japanese martial arts masters with his superb martial arts, and was selected as the chief martial arts instructor of the escort team of Emperor Aisin Gioro Puyi in the late Qing Dynasty. His nephew Huo Qingyun once served as the imperial guard, and they are all well-known figures.
Liu Yunqiao, a late disciple of Li Shu, became Li Shu's disciple when he was seven years old. Within a few years, he improved his martial arts so much that he once defeated the famous Japanese swordsman Tokusaburo Ota, which made him famous.
Liu Yunqiao later came to Taiwan and served as a martial arts instructor for the bodyguards of Chiang Kai-shek and his son Chiang Ching-kuo. His martial arts skills were so high that he had few rivals. He was called the number one master in Taiwan. Most of the most outstanding martial artists in Taiwan today came from Liu Yunqiao's disciples.
Among Li Shu's disciples, the more famous one is his late disciple Li Yuhai.
Li Yuhai and Liu Yunqiao were from the same village. They were the sons of a poor tenant who was taken in by "Sharp Gun Li Shu" when he lived in Liu Yunqiao's house. At the same time as Liu Yunqiao, they joined Li Shu's sect to practice martial arts.
After learning martial arts, Li Yuhai participated in the revolution and served as a martial arts instructor for Mao Taizu's guard. His military rank reached the level of major general, and he was a true master of Ouchi.
The bodyguards of Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Taizu were all disciples of Li Shu, which shows how powerful Baji Quan is. It seems that as long as Li Shu's disciples are in charge, the safety of these big shots can be guaranteed.
At that time, Li Shu established the Eight Level Sect, which was famous in the world. However, after the deaths of Li Shu and his disciples Li Yuhai and Liu Yunqiao, the Eight Level Sect seemed to have lost its former glory.
Li Shu's descendants are naturally masters. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but they no longer have the same reputation and prestige as Li Shu. The direct line of Baji Quan began to decline, and Zhou, who was Li Shu's famous disciple,
However, the eighth-level Zhou Shan came out of nowhere and brought Bajiquan into the army.
He has trained several masters, which I am afraid Li Shu did not expect when he taught Zhou Shan. Some of his apprentices, who have followed him for more than ten years, have not been able to practice Bajiquan to the peak. On the contrary, Zhou Shan
The registered disciple truly promoted Baji Quan.
However, Zhou Shan was only a registered disciple of Li Shu, so he never regarded himself as a disciple of the Baji Sect, and he had no contact with Li Shu's descendants. As an eighth-level sect, almost no one knew that Zhou Shan had studied martial arts with Li Shu for a month and inherited
Li Shu's mantle.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Shan's grandson Zhou Yi and Li Shu's great-great-granddaughter unexpectedly met in a foreign country. It must be said that it was fate.
Zhou Yi heard Li Xia say that her great-grandfather was Li Shu, so he was stunned and remembered these dusty past events in the martial arts world.
Of course, Chen Hu also knew the reputation of Senior Li Shu, and he also became solemn at this time. After all, Li Shu was on the same level as Sun Lutang. These two fierce men, in the hearts of warriors, were both true martial arts masters.
The Grandmaster can be said to be the enemy within hundreds of years, and makes every warrior feel in awe.
"Zhou Yi, what's wrong with you? You haven't answered my question yet. I really want to know your inheritance. If it's really inconvenient for you to tell me, then forget it."
Seeing that Zhou Yi seemed to be deep in thought, Li Xia thought that Zhou Yi was unwilling to answer her question, so she said that for warriors, inheritance is very important. There are many people who are not willing to reveal their inheritance. This is not strange.
things.
"Haha, actually there is nothing inconvenient to say. I just remembered some of the deeds of senior Li Shu, so I was a little distracted."
Zhou Yi came back to his senses and said to Li Xia: "I wonder if you know Zhou Shan?"
"Zhouyi, do you still know the deeds of my great-grandfather? The Zhoushan you are talking about is the Zhoushan known as Zhou Baji?"
This time it was Li Xia's turn to be shocked. Her eyebrows flashed and she quickly asked Zhou Yidao.
Since Li Shu and Sun Lutang, Zhou Shan has been recognized as the number one master in the martial arts world, with a huge reputation. As a child of a martial arts family, Li Xia certainly knows Zhou Shan's reputation, but Li Xia has no idea that Zhou Shan is actually the registered disciple of his great-grandfather Li Shu.
"I have known about Senior Li Shu's deeds since I was very young."
Zhou Yi nodded and told everything he knew about Senior Li Shu.
Not only Su Nuhong didn't know about these dusty martial arts past, even Chen Hu didn't know about it. There were even some things that even Li Xia didn't know about. So Chen Hu, Su Nuhong and Li Xiu were really fascinated by what they heard.
"Zhou Yi, I didn't expect you to know so clearly about my great-grandfather. I don't know many things. But I also know a little about the old man Zhou Shan you mentioned. Your surname is also Zhou, and you also use Bajiquan. Don't you
Does it have anything to do with Mr. Zhou Shan?"
After listening to what Zhou Yi said, Li Xia asked in surprise.
"Zhou Shan is my grandfather."
Zhou Yi replied calmly.
"It turns out that you are the grandson of Mr. Zhou Shan. No wonder your martial arts are so powerful."
After Li Xia was shocked, she suddenly said: "My grandfather and father both said that Mr. Zhou Shan's Baji Quan is different from our Li family's Baji Quan. He probably learned from a branch of Baji Quan."
"Xiaxia, my grandfather did not learn Bajiquan from the side line. He was the registered disciple of your great-grandfather, Senior Li Shu. Regarding Senior Li Shu's deeds, my grandfather personally told me."
Zhou Yi smiled at Li Xia and said, finally telling him his inheritance and the relationship between Mr. Zhou Shan and Senior Li Shu.
"Zhou Yi, a flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family no longer recognizes each other. Then if we count, aren't they brothers and sisters?"
Li Xia grew up and said that both her grandfather and father once regretted that Zhou Baji and Zhou Shan came from a side branch of the Baji Sect instead of a direct line. If Zhou Shan was a direct line, then the Baji Sect would not have declined, but the Baji Sect would have declined.
It will be carried forward. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shan is actually Li Shu's named disciple, and he can be regarded as a direct descendant.
"Of course, how old is Xiaxia?"
Zhou Yi also laughed. He did not expect that he would meet the descendants of senior Li Shu on this cruise ship.
Asking a girl her age is originally not a very convenient thing, because women generally like to pretend to be young. Even if they are in their thirties or forties, they still want to look like a girl in their early twenties.
But things are different now. Both Zhou Yi and Li Xia are from the Bajiquan lineage. According to seniority, Li Xia and Zhou Yi are senior brothers. At this time, Li Xia wishes she was older than Zhou Yi. After all, she is a senior sister.
