Swan Lake Hotel.
The hotel for the Martial Arts Circle Assembly was not located in the land of fish and rice. Although Yu Feng welcomed them warmly and said that they could receive them for free, the land of fish and rice was too small to accommodate so many people. Of course, the grade was also a consideration. The land of fish and rice was a leisure farmhouse. No matter how comfortable the accommodation was, it was not suitable for a grand event like the Martial Arts Circle Assembly.
Therefore, the martial artists from each province were arranged to stay in the largest and most high-end Swan Lake Hotel in the Azure Dragon Gorge.
In the hall on the third floor.
Lu Guoqiang and Chen Changfeng, who were arranging the lunch, heard that Lin Dong had arrived and quickly went out to welcome him.
Li Qingsong was also delighted when he heard that. He whispered into Shen Changming's ear, "That's great. That little guy is here. With him, the assembly can go on!" Shen Changming slapped his forehead when he heard that. He had been tormented by the foreign devils for the past few days and could not eat or sleep well. Now, he could finally put down the huge stone in his heart.
Yun You You was comprehending the first style of the Three Styles of Facing the Wind, "Wind Brushing the Willow." Her mind was completely focused on it and did not care about the outside world.
Besides, even if she did not practice, she would not participate in the Martial Arts Circle Assembly where almost everyone was a martial artist.
Qianjun came.
She was the reinforcement that Yu Tongtong had specially invited to hold the fort.
Not only her, but Xiao Fang and Yang Jingxin were also invited by Yu Tongtong. Xiao Fang and Yang Jingxin could not refuse. Now, Yu Tongtong was the treasure of Director Qu and the others. Even if she asked them to fight on the battlefield, Director Qu and the other old men would not refuse her, let alone to be her bodyguards. Now, other than Xiao Fang and Yang Jingxin, Director Qu also invited a team of female special forces soldiers to protect Yu Tongtong, who ran around every day. He was deeply afraid that something would happen to her.
When Qianjun saw Lin Dong and Cheng Mingge come in, she did not immediately go forward to greet them. Instead, she quietly waved her hand.
Cheng Mingge smiled back at her.
Lin Dong let the two old men, Li Qingsong and Shen Changming, surround him.
"Xiao Lin, you're here. Come, come, come. Let me introduce you …." Li Qingsong had never been so enthusiastic as to personally introduce Lin Dong. This was so-and-so Sect Leader, and that was so-and-so Grandmaster.
"Hello!" When the sect leaders and grandmasters saw that Lin Dong was a young man, similar to their grand-disciples, they just cupped their fists politely and greeted him casually. If Li Qingsong hadn't told them that Lin Dong was the supplier of spirit tea and beast blood wine, they wouldn't have gotten up to greet him. Usually, when they were in a good mood, these Sect Leaders and Grandmasters would chat with Lin Dong over the beast blood wine and spirit tea. But now, they were full of anger because of the foreign devils for the past few days, and they couldn't vent it out. The tea and wine didn't taste good either. If it weren't for Li Qingsong and Shen Changming, they would have left long ago. How could they stay here and endure this kind of vexation?
After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Dong, the Sect Leaders returned to their seats and sat down, leaving Lin Dong to the disciples next to them to serve him.
Most of their disciples were in their forties. These people were of the same generation as Lu Guoqiang and the others. When they saw that Lin Dong was young, they also chatted with him politely, and then let the third generation disciples come over to accompany Lin Dong.
The third generation disciples were the disciples' grandchildren. The older ones were in their twenties or thirties, and the younger ones were in their teens. Among them, the most capable and promising ones were still accompanying their master or grandmaster, forming a small circle. Therefore, those who could come over to accompany Lin Dong were usually the younger disciples who had just entered the sect for a short period of time, or those who weren't that skilled in martial arts but had good eloquence. They were usually in charge of doing business or receiving guests in the sect …
There were also a few female disciples who saw that Lin Dong was particularly handsome, and each and every one of them took the initiative to greet Lin Dong and Cheng Mingge warmly, relying on their status as the Eldest Senior Sister.
Other than taking photos with him, they also kept putting food on his plate.
They all treated him like a child.
There were also two older senior sisters who had already achieved success in their careers. They were the boss and the lady boss respectively.
They even stuffed their name cards directly into Lin Dong's arms, and kept calling him elder sister.
They wanted Lin Dong to look for them if he needed anything.
As for the petite Cheng Mingge on the other side, they thought that she was a big loli, and asked her if she was in middle school this year. This made Cheng Mingge sweat half to death!
In any case, everyone at the banquet thought that Lin Dong was a younger disciple who had just entered the sect. No one knew that this kid was the real big shot. Lu Guoqiang and Chen Changfeng looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They thought to themselves, 'You idiots have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!' However, they didn't correct this. Lin Dong didn't point it out, so they would naturally wait and see. Therefore, they also chatted with the various elites of the same generation who were interested in befriending them. However, their eyes would occasionally glance at Lin Dong, secretly paying attention to Lin Dong's actions.
Lin Dong didn't do anything. He just took a stance and ate to his heart's content.
"Little Junior Brother, eat slowly, eat slowly. Don't rush, don't rush, there's a lot of food, I guarantee that you'll be full!" Those "Senior Sisters" thought that Lin Dong was starving from the long journey.
"It's good to be young!" A disciple with a beer belly in his thirties, who specialized in running business for his sect, saw Lin Dong's table manners and shook his head with a sigh.
"Hua, how old are you this year? I'm older than you by more than two years and a generation higher than you, but I still don't dare to call myself old here. You're thirty years old, so why are you acting old in front of your younger disciple? It's lucky that this is this table. If it was another table, you would have to stand up and pour wine for everyone. How could you sit still and enjoy our service like a master? "A senior sister who called herself Sister Jin Hua jokingly scolded the beer belly.
"Sister Jin Hua, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and spare me!" The beer belly called Hua quickly stood up and drank a cup of wine as punishment.
Bam!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from Li Qingsong's side of the banquet table.
Everyone was shocked and looked up.
They saw that it was Lei Liujin, the martial arts legend with the fiery temper and the nickname 'Thunderbolt Fire', who slammed the table.
This old man had just mentioned the matter of the foreign devils to another legend, Shi Qingping. He was so agitated that he couldn't help but slam the table. "The tea and wine here are very good, but I can't drink anymore! Hold it in, hold it in, how long do we have to hold it in? They've already come to our door and slapped us in the face, and we still have to pretend to be dead dogs. What kind of logic is this? "
Although the other sect leaders were also angry, they felt that slamming the table wouldn't solve the problem. They all advised, "Liujin, that's enough. What's the use of slamming the table here? You're scaring the juniors, and when your temper flares up, no one will be able to eat well!"
Shi Qingping, who was sitting next to Lei Liujin, also advised him, "Hua, eat first. We can discuss how to solve the problem after everyone is done eating. Don't disturb everyone!"
"I can't eat anymore!" Lei Liujin snorted angrily. However, he still listened to his old friend's advice and sat down again.
"I'm sorry about this matter, everyone. I wanted to have a happy meeting and have everyone gather together for a lively atmosphere, but I didn't expect something like this to happen … I'd like to apologize to everyone here!" Li Qingping stood up and apologized to everyone, then drank another cup of wine as punishment. Shi Qingping and the other old men who had been invited hurriedly waved their hands, indicating that it wasn't his fault. No one had expected the foreign devils to cause trouble, and they hadn't made any preparations beforehand. Moreover, the Martial Arts Circle Convention had been quite smooth at the beginning. With the spirit tea and beast blood wine, it had been a great success. If it weren't for the foreign devils coming out to annoy everyone, this year's Martial Arts Circle Convention would have been the most successful one in the past decade.
"Why don't we accept their challenge and have a martial arts competition with them in the ring? Let's see who's stronger!" Lei Liujin had been wanting to fight for the past few days.
"That's not a good idea …" His old friend, Shi Qingping, didn't support him.
Originally, when they were provoked on the first day, many of the old men were clamoring to fight and defeat the foreign devils.
However, Xiao Fang gave them a report. After they read it, except for Lei Liujin and another hot-tempered old man, no one mentioned it. According to the report, the foreign devils who came to challenge were experts from many famous foreign schools, from karate, taekwondo, muay thai, South American jiu-jitsu, and Southeast Asian stick techniques. There were even super mercenaries who were experts in military combat techniques. If the former were still martial artists, then the latter were a group of bloodthirsty and powerful killing machines.
Martial arts had withered due to the chaos of war, the abandonment of the era of madness, and the lack of support from the national conditions. It was almost impossible for martial arts to return to its peak during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
However, the opponents had repeatedly broken the limits of the human body because of the support of technology.
Adrenaline, various energy drugs that stimulated the body, genetic mutation, and other means. In terms of physical fitness, the foreign devils were far superior to the martial artists who practiced martial arts in the Rabbit Dynasty. As the saying goes, one person with great strength can defeat ten people with great skill. Even if the opponent's skills were lacking, they could rely on their strong bodies to overwhelm martial arts.
There was another major shortcoming of martial arts, and that was that almost all martial artists only practiced it as an amateur hobby.
No one treated it as their main job.
Even if they were monks or Taoists, their main job was to recite scriptures and cultivate. Practicing martial arts was just a hobby to strengthen their bodies … As for ordinary people who practiced martial arts, it was already good enough if they could practice early or late. If they didn't study or work during the day, what would they eat? In the Rabbit Dynasty, the main problem of practicing martial arts was actually the problem of eating. Every sect had to have disciples who specialized in doing business to maintain their existence, or else the sect would disappear … overseas, as long as someone was willing to do this, they would receive all kinds of donations and support, and there was no need to worry about eating and drinking at all.
The Rabbit Dynasty's army also had combat techniques for killing people, but they were absolutely controlled and not allowed to leak out.
This way …
The martial arts in the Rabbit Dynasty were declining, and in the end, they were reduced to dancing. But overseas, martial arts were everywhere. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, they would learn it all and talk about it later. This became a situation where the foreign devils learned martial arts and then beat up the rabbits!
Why did the foreign devils dare to challenge Li Qingsong and the others when they held the Martial Arts Conference?
The reason was simple, because they were here to test the waters.
If they won the martial arts, then the reputation of martial arts would be ruined. If they couldn't win, then they would immediately acknowledge a master and learn the martial arts technique, and then beat up the rabbits after they mastered it … This was the pragmatic thinking of the foreign devils! If I can beat you, then kneel before me. If I can't, then I will immediately change my words, flatter you, call you master, give you a thumbs up, and then steal your martial arts technique.
If the Chinese were flattered by the foreign devils, they would feel as if they were on cloud nine, wishing that they could teach the foreign devils everything they knew. There was no sense of confidentiality at all!
"Regardless of whether I can beat you or not, I still want to go into the arena. I can't take this lying down! Even if I die, I want to die in the arena! I've practiced for so many years, and now I'm being slapped in the face like this … If I don't, I won't have the face to go back. What should I say when I offer incense to the ancestors of the past? I'll tell them that I'm a living tortoise and that your grand-disciple is a coward who doesn't know how to retaliate even after being bullied. Is that what I should say? " Lei Liujin was so angry that he blurted out these words without thinking. He regretted it after saying it, but it was already in everyone's ears. He couldn't take it back even if he wanted to, so he could only bear it and continue to fight.
"Then let's fight!" Li Qingsong sighed softly when he saw that everyone's face had been put on the spot by Lei Liujin's words. In any case, he had already endured for so many days. When he couldn't take it anymore, there was no need to endure anymore. The foreign devils were very strong, but they couldn't admit defeat before they even fought. Martial artists still had to have some guts. If they didn't fight now, the Martial Arts Conference wouldn't be able to continue. Li Qingsong stole a glance at Lin Dong. He saw Lin Dong nodding slightly towards him, as if he intended to make a move. His heart was instantly filled with ecstasy, and he immediately felt the excitement of going all out. Sigh, with this little guy's support, things will be different. There's hope now!
"Sigh!" Shi Qingping shook his head. He didn't want to fight. He felt that Lei Liujin's old friend might really die in the arena. However, he couldn't stop Lei Liujin from going into the arena.
"Alright!"
"Fight, fight, fight!"
"Defeat those foreign devils!" Seeing that their master and grandmaster had decided to fight, the disciples and granddisciples who had been holding back for a few days immediately cheered and raised their fists and roared loudly.
The scene was very lively, and the morale was high!
Lin Dong watched coldly from the sidelines.
He noticed that among the excited crowd, there were some people who seemed to be shouting especially loudly on the surface, but they were secretly sending messages.
This wasn't strange. There had been such people in every dynasty. It would be strange if there weren't any!
Qianjun quietly came over to Lin Dong's side.
With her sharp senses, she also noticed something. Lin Dong waved his hand. Now wasn't the time yet. Let these people send the messages first, and it wouldn't be too late to clean up after the fight. At this moment, Brother with Thick Eyebrows, who was eating a boxed lunch in the parking lot of Swan Lake Hotel, was about to pour himself some water when a subordinate suddenly came over and whispered something in his ear. His face immediately turned bitter. "You want me to clean up the mess again? I'm definitely not going to take the blame! Why me again? I don't care what the higher-ups think. How can I maintain stability in this situation? I don't have this ability! Besides, there's still that stinky brat who doesn't know peace all day. Wherever he goes, there'll be a mess. I've had enough! I wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and eat worse than pigs. But I have to f * cking do work that's more tiring than cows. I'm not going to be a leader anymore. Whoever wants to do it can do it. Anyway, I'm not going to do it! "
When he heard this news, he angrily smashed the boxed lunch in his hand on the ground!
When he finished venting, the subordinate handed him a cigarette and picked up the half-eaten boxed lunch on the ground with great care. He slowly put it into his mouth. "Boss, if you're full, take a break. I haven't eaten yet!"
Brother with Thick Eyebrows looked at his subordinate's behavior and fell silent. His thick eyebrows furrowed even deeper, forming a "Chuan" character.
Fatty Yu Feng suddenly came out.
Carrying a few cans of iced beer, he sat next to Brother with Thick Eyebrows and opened the can. Seeing that Brother with Thick Eyebrows didn't take it, he raised his head and drank half of it. "Life is like this. It's not easy for anyone!"
"Do you think you're a philosopher?" Brother with Thick Eyebrows glared at him unhappily.
"Of course I'm not. But the strange thing is, ever since I earned some money, no matter what I say, outsiders think that my words are very reasonable!" Fatty Yu Feng couldn't stop laughing.
He took a can of beer and tossed it to another police officer.
Then, he picked up the can of beer again and passed it to Brother with Thick Eyebrows. This time, Brother with Thick Eyebrows didn't stand on ceremony with him. He took the can and opened it, drinking it directly.
Once the cold beer entered his stomach, the gloominess in his stomach seemed to dissipate a lot.
Fight, fight!
Anyway, it's not my people who died. You guys can fight if you want! I just don't know if that brat will start a massacre this time …
