The Era of Hard Work

For Chinese martial arts, perhaps August 20, 2003 is a day that can be recorded in history.

Heads of fifteen martial arts sects, including Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, Qingcheng and Wudu Sect, gathered in the Lujia Village Folk Tourist Area, Qingzhao District, Quannan City, and showed off with various unique skills and rare weapons. The first "Wulin Discussion Conference"!

On this day, the sky is beautiful, with white clouds forming mountains, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

The early autumn wind blows over, bringing a burst of coolness.

The Lujia Village Folk Tourist Area was crowded with people, and the stage in the Folklore Exhibition Area was even more crowded.

Under the continuous publicity and hype, martial arts fans talked about it, tourists flocked to it, and masters from various schools also came to the east, such as Shaolin Wudang, Kongtong and Emei, which were full of gimmicks.

At the main entrance of the Lujia Village folk tourist area, the county specially sent traffic police to direct the traffic, but all kinds of private cars and tourist vehicles still crowded the front of the village.

Many people have seen the news reports that the heads of various sects arrived at the Lujia Village custom area, and the masters' superior demeanor made their hearts itch.

In the folklore exhibition area, a large dressing room was temporarily converted into a lounge. The heads and apprentices of the various sects stayed here temporarily, waiting for their appearance at a later date.

A group of masters were discussing in full swing, talking about their own dressing experience, when suddenly the door opened from the outside, and someone strode in.

In an instant, the gazes of more than a dozen masters and the apprentices they brought all fell on the visitor—what a fierce man!

This man was in his thirties, with a burly figure and a dignified appearance, with a pride that no one looked down upon in his brows.

Like them, the man was equally well-dressed, wearing a black silk robe with intricate embroidery.

The only thing that made people feel strange was that they didn't see this person at the reception banquet last night.

The Taoist leader from "South Wudang Mountain" couldn't help being curious, and asked, "May I ask who this is?"

Lu Jianren clasped his fists, because he had filmed "Detective Di Renjie", he looked very serious, and said politely: "My humble Lu Jianren, the mountain sculpture sent by the Jianghu people, is currently the Supreme Leader of the Five Poison Sect!"

Shi Yanzhuang from Shaolin Temple, Taoist Master from South Wudang, Bai Yihai from Kongtong School, Zhou Jinsheng from Kunlun School and others exchanged glances, expressing that they had never heard of such a person in the world.

Zhou Jinsheng from the Kunlun School speaks Taidong dialect: "When did the mountain eagle become the leader of the Five Poison Sect?"

This is another mountain sculpture, and it belongs to the leader of the Five Poison Sect, what are you doing?

The Taoist leader of South Wudang frowned: "I've never heard of the Five Poisons Sect."

Lu Jianren could speak plausibly in front of Lu Dong and Lu Zhenlin, let alone some outsiders, and said with a cold snort, "That's because you are ignorant, you can go out and ask, how many Qingzhao people don't know about the Five Poisons Sect?"

I don't know which apprentice said at this time: "I went to the food street to eat last night. The biggest feature here is all kinds of insect snacks. Many shop owners have said that they use the five poisons. Exclusive recipe!"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, could it be that this Lu family village is the head altar of the Five Poison Sect?

The leader of the Qingcheng sect has a slight delusional disorder of persecution, and he is deeply involved in martial arts. He slapped his thigh and stared at Lu Jianren vigilantly: "Everyone, brothers and sisters, I have a bad premonition! This martial arts discussion The meeting is a conspiracy, and the Five Poisons Sect is setting up a net to lure us into the bait, trying to catch all the decent sects!"

Master Shi Yanzhuang from Shaolin Temple rolled his eyes, thinking where did the second idiot come from, with Jiang (paste) and Hu (paste) in his head?

The Taoist leader of South Wudang is quite enlightened: "Master Li is joking, this time the invitation is issued jointly by the Qingzhao District Government and Lujia Village."

The head of the Qingcheng faction thought about it carefully, and it was indeed such a reason, but he was still wary of this guy from the Five Poison Sect.

Originally, he thought he was the most handsome of all the leaders, but when the leader of the Five Poison Sect came, he immediately wanted to let him take the position.

There is no way, the person looks younger than him by several years, the hairline is lower than him, and the top of the head is not bald.

"Brothers who are masters." He looked worried: "We are all famous sects, and if we appear in the same meeting with the Five Poison Sect, isn't it self-defeating?"

Someone nodded slightly: "How can you associate with demons and heretics?"

"Heh..." Lu Jianren smiled, took out an iron box unhurriedly, raised his fingernails, flipped off the lid, and slapped it on the table: "Want to try?"

The people around looked into the box, and the whole box was full of itchy peppers with bristles, which made people shudder.

If this thing is thrown on the face, it will be directly disfigured.

Since it was recognized by the local government in 1999, the head of the Qingcheng faction often lives on his body in order to fit the personality. Of course, he knows what itching and hot peppers are.

Seeing the leader of the Five Poison Sect showing such a big weapon, he immediately stopped talking.

It doesn't matter if the devil is heretic or not, the important thing is not to suffer immediate losses.

Isn't it just a five-poison sect, a small problem.

Bai Yihai of the Kongtong faction turned his head to look at Lu Jianren, and seeing scorpions, centipedes, long bugs, spiders, and chili peppers embroidered on the silk black robe, he couldn't help but think of the bug feast he had yesterday, and said, "Lu... Master, yesterday's dinner is over. Tasting a variety of insect delicacies in the food street, the taste is quite good and impressive, is this from your Five Poison Sect?"

Lu Jianren can say that there are things that don't exist, not to mention that this matter does have something to do with him, Lu Jianren smiled slightly: "Many people are taught by me."

The others kept nodding, with expressions of understanding.

Just like them, the Five Poison Sect has developed with the changes of the times. The Five Poison Sect used to play with bugs and poison. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, they could no longer play like this, so they used their own directors to study insect-like delicacies.

In essence, the big guys are almost the same, and they all have side jobs.

For example, Zhou Jinsheng from the Kunlun faction worked as a security officer in a large company, Bai Yihai from the Kongtong faction practiced Sanda professionally and earned money by teaching Sanda, the Qingcheng faction endorsed local tourism for publicity, and Shaolin Temple promoted commercialization in an all-round way.

It's not easy to make a living, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Bai Yihai of the Kongtong faction dared to eat delicious food. He ate very well last night and said, "Master Lu, your teacher is good at making insect delicacies. I wonder if we can communicate in private?"

Lu Jianren seemed very generous: "No problem!" He had read the profiles of the masters a long time ago, and remembered the names: "Master Bai, I can give you the production method and some condiment recipes."

Bai Yihai smiled, besides paying 5000 yuan for this trip, he can get this kind of harvest, it's worth it!

But Lu Jianren is not the one who suffers: "The world pays attention to exchange at equal value! I am not short of money. Although it is incomparable with Shaolin Temple, there are still several million. Therefore, Master Bai, I will borrow your Qishangquan boxing manual have a look?"

Uncle Qi naturally wouldn't believe in ghosts like Qishangquan, he just thought it was fun.

How interesting is it to meet such a group of people with unique costumes and talk about martial arts with them?

Isn't it more fun than poking and scratching with Lu Dong?

Bai Yihai was a little embarrassed: "Our Kongtong faction doesn't have the Qishangquan at all, it was invented by Jin Yong."

According to the official statement of his Kongtong Sect and the local Wushu Association, it is a famous sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

But my family knows their own affairs, and they are all bragging.

Because Kongtong sent him to be the second generation.

Kongtong Mountain is located in PL City, Ganxi Province. There is no record of such a martial arts sect in the local annals.

Until 1995, a 55-year-old man from the Northeast came to Pingliang with his Japanese wife and claimed to be "Yan Feixia, the tenth generation leader of the Kongtong School". apprenticeship.

Yan Feixia is the only interpreter of all the mastery and martial arts of this sect.

Bai Yihai opened a martial arts gym, and he didn't practice Qishangquan, but Sanda.

Lu Jianren looked disappointed, and said: "Do you want the unique gourmet recipe of Wudujiao? It's changed, it's changed, it's changed! Cheats are changed for recipes, I can guarantee that when I go back and open a snack bar, I can earn 100,000 yuan a year!" "

Upon hearing the annual income of 100,000 yuan, many heads were moved.

Zhou Jinsheng of the Kunlun School took his unique weapon "Judge Pen" and said in Taidong dialect, "How about replacing the Judge Pen of the Kunlun School with your secret recipe?"

Lu Jianren looked skeptical: "You are the head of the Kunlun School? Why do you say you are from Linzi?"

Zhou Jinsheng laughed: "Didn't I support the Northwest back then, so I went to the Northwest from Linzi..."

Lu Jianren understood that this is the head of Taidong Kunlun.

Then, he went to look at the judge's pen, and then looked disgusted: "That's it?"

Zhou Jinsheng raised his chin slightly: "That's it!" He took the judge's pen over and said, "Look, the tip of this pen has been treated with an exclusive secret recipe. Even though it is made of wolf hair, the tip of the pen is as strong as iron..."

Lu Jianren took one and looked at it. It was a foot-long writing brush. The white tip looked very hard. He said, "Isn't it just soaked in paste and dried? You can't play with it."

As he spoke, he threw the judge pen back.

Zhou Jinsheng was not embarrassed, after all, he had worked as a security officer in a large state-owned enterprise in his early years, and he had already developed his face.

Lu Jianren was quite disappointed, even if he didn't have much hope.

No Qishangquan, no lion's roar.

What Dongzi said is right, the traditions have long since disappeared.

For a while, Lu Jianren was dull, seeing each other was better than nostalgia, he couldn't see the outline of Wulin, but he could feel the sadness of his departure.

How many of these leaders here can beat the little bald Qiao Weiguo?

Probably none of them, because apart from him, all of them were over forty years old.

No wonder Lu Dong and Li Wenyue insisted on talking about martial arts, they could participate in the performance appropriately, and refused many people's requests for actual combat competitions.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Lu Ming came in from the outside, and said with a smile: "All the masters, all the martial arts seniors, all the brothers, the conference is about to start, please come to the venue and sit down."

A group of people went out, dressed in various outfits, full of momentum.

As soon as they arrived at the venue in front of the big stage, there was a burst of applause, like a star entering the venue.

A reporter from Taidong TV came over first, stopped the leading Master Shi Yanzhuang, and asked him to say a few words to the audience.

Master Shi Yanzhuang is the head coach of the Shaolin Kung Fu Monk Group and the head of the Bodhidharma Academy. He is well-informed and highly enlightened: "Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, improve self-cultivation, and promote the harmonious development of society..."
