A man named Asada walked slowly over with long arms and legs. He pressed a button next to the iron gate. The door opened with a creak. It turned out that the big padlock on it was just a disguise. Even if he pried open the iron lock, There was no way to open the door locked by the electromagnetic lock. "Come in. If you are followed, I will kill you." The dark and thin man said coldly, turned around and walked away.
I had known that Asada was an eccentric and unsociable guy. I didn't expect that his attitude today was so outrageous. Gu Tie walked into the barbed wire fence while cursing and closed the door behind him. The Japanese in front had already walked a few hundred meters along the centipede path. They turned to a corner. It is a simple wooden house by the sea. The words "Sanji Pier...Private property. Entry prohibited" are written in red paint on the house. There is an old fishing boat docked next to the small pier.
This person's name is Asada Yuyama. I met him in an inexplicable bar fight. At that time, a group of second-generation ancestors in the military and political circles of the capital drank too much and flirted with single women in the bar. Asada was not a righteous person who acted bravely for righteousness. But a certain The second-generation soldier's words, "Go away, Japanese devils" made him furious. He picked up a beer bottle and opened the ladle with the second-generation general. This turned into a huge melee with disparity in strength. At that time, Gu Tie was considered a member of this small circle. He is a peripheral figure. He can't stand the domineering behavior of these second-generation government officials and second-generation army dudes. But he is also in the rebellious stage. He likes to drink, play cars, fight and pick up girls. It is inevitable that he will have some intersection with these people.
There were thirty second generation ancestors plus drivers and attendants. Asada was the only one on his side. But the reason why it was said to be a battle of disparity in strength was because the Japanese defeated all their opponents within ten minutes. They dragged their rickety bodies slowly and slowly. He went out without even a drop of blood on his face. He used a very weird fighting technique. It looked like he was waving his hands and moving his feet forward. He used dancing-like movements to destroy all resistance along the way. It was extremely long. His limbs and explosive muscles allowed the attack to come from an unexpected angle. Gu Tie witnessed everything on the second floor of the bar. He was stunned. If he hadn't been dizzy after drinking too much whiskey, with his young mind, he would have jumped down and followed him. This master has learned a few tricks.
It’s not weird to knock down thirty people. But none of the thirty people were seriously injured. Half an hour later, they all got up with their heads scratched. They cursed and continued drinking without any fuss. This was considered weird. It wasn’t until they met again on the battlefield a few years later that Gu Tie understood. At that time, Asada used the so-called "soft hand", which corresponds to the "hard hand". Soft hand is a superb technique that temporarily incapacitates the enemy's combat effectiveness. It does not actually damage human tissue.
The battlefield was in Cuba. It was the first time that Gu Tie actually participated in the battle of the IPU resistance organization. At that time, Caribbean countries were being captured by the GTC one by one. Only Cuba, the red country that Castro and Che Guevara fought for their whole lives, refused to accessorize. The committee's proposal. Shut out the quantum network. At that time, GTC did not have its own armed forces. A mercenary force of five thousand people was recruited by GTC and smuggled in by boat from Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti and Florida. Top Mercenaries gathered on the island of Cuba, pretending to be opposition armed forces and launching an offensive against government forces.
Several major radical organizations of the IPU joined the frontal battlefield, including the Japanese Hasegawa Bensaka's "One Hundred Million Jade Broken", the Indian Balvendra's "Shiva" (it was still a weak and small organization at the time), and the French. Browser Lafontaine's "First Empire" and Taiwanese Zhao Yufan's "Lion Waking". Of course, there are also anti-GTC volunteers from all over the world. Gu Tie and Zhao Yufan are old acquaintances. This person from Taiwan The revolutionaries admired Gu Tie's ability and courage very much. He was regarded as the spiritual mentor who led him on this path. But unfortunately, a few months later, the leader of the "Lion Awakening" was shot and died in the Cuban rain forest. This radical The faction organization vanished into thin air and became an insignificant splash in the history of the resistance war.
During this war, Gu Tie met Asada Yuyama again. This Japanese was the commando captain of the "One Hundred Million Jade Broken" and the right-hand man of madman Hasegawa. He was famous throughout the IPU organization for his mysterious killing methods. In the dark It was a night at the campground where he was drinking to ward off the cold. Gu Tie noticed that this man had no companions around him. He was sitting far away from the crowd, wiping his dagger with tree bark, and walked over to him with a wine bottle to chat. Asada was a very unloving person. The guy who spoke didn't know much about the world. He always pursed his lips and had a sinister look on his face. He only drank half a bottle of wine and reluctantly talked about his past. Only then did Gu Tie know why he was so interested in "Japan". "Japanese" is an overreaction... Asada Yuyama's real name is Shoto. He is the 25th generation of the clan with the ancient royal surname "Shang".
"You said you were from Okinawa." Gu Tie took a sip of wine and observed the man's dark face in the moonlight.
"Ryukyu people." Asada snorted from his nostrils, looking a little unhappy. "Okinawa is a name imposed on us by the Japanese. The Ryukyu Kingdom is the Ryukyu Kingdom. If the Satsuma Domain hadn't captured the island, young people wouldn't be able to survive until now. I can’t even speak Ryukyu dialect. I only speak poor Japanese.”
The Chinese suddenly realized that the Ryukyu State originally referred to the external collective name of the three countries Shannan (also known as Nanshan), Zhongshan, and Shanbei that were established in the Ryukyu Islands in history. Later it referred to the unified Ryukyu State (1429 to 1879). The Ryukyu State It is geographically located between Taiwan Province of China and Japan. It once paid tribute to the Ming and Qing dynasties of China and the Satsuma Domain and the Edo Shogunate of Japan. The Ryukyu Kingdom was invaded by Japan many times. In 1609, the Satsuma Domain invaded and for a period Internally controlled the northern part of the Ryukyu Kingdom. At this time, the Ryukyu Kingdom still paid tribute to China. Due to its special geographical location, the Ryukyu Kingdom was known as a transit point for trade between Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia. Its trade was developed and it was known as the "Ten Thousand Kingdoms". March 1879 On the 30th, Japan annexed the Ryukyu Dynasty. The Ryukyu Kingdom was destroyed. Most of the land was renamed Okinawa Prefecture. The northern islands were incorporated into Kagoshima Prefecture.
"You are a descendant of the Ryukyu royal family. So the martial arts you use is the legendary 'Honbu Gotenshou' that is only passed down to the royal prince." Gu Tie couldn't help but sit up straight and asked. Since you are a descendant of the royal family of a conquered ancient country, you have no idea about "Japan" Naturally, I feel reluctant to have the title of "human being" imposed on me, let alone "Japanese devil".
Yuzan Asada glanced at him in surprise. "Almost no one knows the name of this ancient martial art. How did you... forget it. It doesn't matter now. The Ryukyu Dynasty perished long before it was renamed Okinawa. .And in this generation of the Shang family, I am the only one who has given birth to a daughter. Both the surname and the palace hand will end with this generation."
"How can that be done? Goten-shou is a real treasure," Gu Tie said anxiously. The so-called Goten-shou refers to the martial arts system secretly developed by the Ryukyu royal family during the reign of the Satsuma Domain. It is designed to fight against large numbers of people with bare hands or using any available props as weapons. The enemy, a pair of hands, a pair of legs, or a short stick, a pitchfork, an oar, a cane, a sickle, or a scabbard, can all become deadly weapons. Honbu Gotenate is best at one-to-many combat. He pays attention to smoothness and smoothness, and his feet are not smooth. Stop and march forward amidst thousands of troops, ruthlessly defeating all enemies on the road. This martial art is taught secretly and very few people have seen its true face.
"Come on, come on. Let's do two moves." Thinking of this, the young and energetic Gu Tie suddenly jumped up and pretended to take over the Bajiquan. After practicing boxing for several years, it was the time when his skills were itchy. How could he seize this opportunity? He could easily let it go. As soon as his voice came out, the sentry on the treetop in the distance scolded: "Keep it down. Do you want to attract night patrol drones?"
Gu Tie waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Come on Asada, let me see the power of the Goten Hand."
The thin, dark man raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "Martial arts are for fighting. I don't like the Chinese way of 'making friends with force'."
"Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid that the six hundred years of Ryukyu history will be defeated by the five thousand years of Chinese civilization?" Gu Tie pointed to his nose with a sneer.
Asada Yuyama shook his head and said: "It is useless to provoke the general. Unless..."
"Japanese devils," the Chinese pointed at his nose and screamed.
"What did you say?" The Ryukyu man immediately straightened his waist and bounced up with a strange force. His extremely tall and thin body cast a long shadow in the moonlight.
"Japanese devils." Gu Tie repeated with a smile, posing and waving.
Dark brown eyes shot out with a frightening light. Asada waved his hand seemingly casually, using his elbow joint to drive his forearm to exert force. His fingertips actually made a crackling and popping sound in the air like a whip. Gu Tie felt chilled in his heart. When Lao Zhao chatted with him, he often talked about the anecdotes of ancient martial arts masters. To achieve the sound of breaking through the air is an extremely high level. It requires very sophisticated means of exerting force. At least Lao Zhao himself cannot do this.
But Asada did not launch an attack. His chest bulged strangely. Then he slowly exhaled. "Today is not suitable for fighting. Sit down and watch me perform martial arts." His emotions calmed down in an instant. He stretched out his hand to untie his waist. The dagger that never left his body was placed on the ground. The sword had cut the throats of seven mercenaries in the previous battle. The scabbard was made of mother-of-pearl and the handle was made of shark skin and pasted with a gold plate. The handle is engraved with the Chinese character "天" in seal script. It doesn't look like a product of modern craftsmanship.
Gu Tie thought for a while and sat down obediently. After calming down, he felt that he was really stupid to challenge such an unfathomable master. "This sword..."
"Chatani Nagari is one of the three famous swords of Ryukyu Kingdom. The peasant woman of Chatani Nagari wielded this sword and cut off her baby's head without touching it. According to the investigation, it was concluded that the peasant woman was not guilty. The officer used the same method to test the goat. Sure enough, he chopped off the goat's head. This sword got its name." Asada Yuzan said calmly. He faced the west and stood with his hands down in a seemingly casual posture. Then he started a set of slow movements. , the postures are weird, like dance but different from dance, a martial arts movement with a unique sense of power and beauty.
Gu Tie watched blankly as the Ryukyu man danced his limbs, shattering the bright moonlight and cutting through the humid air. Gradually, the IPU revolutionaries gathered around and silently looked at the dancing man in the field. It was obviously such a slow movement. But it contains the ultimate mechanics and aesthetic principles. At this moment, he controlled the entire space.
"Dance of the Hama Chidori."
It started to get dark outside. When he followed Asada into the dock hut, Gu Tie suddenly remembered the name of the martial arts performance.
