Days in Hong Kong variety shows
Chapter 51 Merging into One Gate
"Hehe..." Cao Tai wasn't mocking him, but he found it amusing to see the previously talkative young man suddenly become a bit awkward, which made him feel a little happier.
"By the way, what kind of boxing style does 'Hong Sheng Guan' specifically teach?" Cao Tai really didn't know which style of Southern Fist this boxing school taught.
"Choi Li Fut!" Hearing the question, Xiao Li also felt strange. How could anyone not know that "Hung Shing Kwun" was also known as "Foshan Choi Li Fut Martial Arts School"? But when he thought that Cao Tai was a businessman from Hong Kong Island, it didn't seem so strange.
"Cai Li Fo!" Cao Tai raised an eyebrow, his voice unconsciously rising an octave.
"Yeah, right!" Xiao Li said calmly.
Letting out a breath, Cao Tai continued, "Could we find one of the branch offices to go in for a discussion later?"
"Huh?" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise.
"I once studied Choy Li Fut under a senior in Hong Kong Island, and my skills were quite good!" Mr. Cao felt it necessary to explain.
"Hmm!" Xiao Li was puzzled. You've studied Choy Li Fut, how come you don't know "Hung Sing Kwan"?
"That senior learned kung fu from his comrades during the East River Column. I only studied with him for a short time (one day), so he didn't talk to me specifically about the origin of the boxing style!" Seeing Xiao Li's puzzled look, Mr. Cao had to explain again.
"Oh..." Xiao Li understood a little.
"No problem, this can be considered an exchange between fellow disciples. We'll go to the nearest one later, and I'm sure the senior disciples will be very welcoming." Don't underestimate Xiao Li just because he's a guide. In fact, he was specially appointed by the Jihua Municipal Government as Cao Tai's full-time guide. He represents the municipal government and has the authority to arrange an exchange with a martial arts school.
As long as Cao Tai's personal safety is guaranteed and he has fun, it's not a big deal; everything else is trivial.
The van drove past a slightly weathered and rustic gate, and the three large, slightly faded characters "He Yi Men" caught Cao Tai's eye.
He sat bolt upright. "Pull over!"
With a screech, the bread cart, traveling at only 20 or 30 mph, slid a few meters before coming to a stop.
"Mr. Cao, is there anything I can help you with?" Xiao Li, who was standing next to him, swayed slightly but quickly sat up straight.
Cao Tai pointed through the open car window to the signboard of "Heyi Men" (Unity Gate), but before he could speak, Xiao Li blurted out, "Heyi Men!"
"Is this a martial arts school?" Although he knew perfectly well what was going on, Cao Tai still tried to ask.
"A martial arts school? It really is a martial arts school, but it's been dilapidated for almost two years now, and the students have long since left." Xiao Li's tone was full of sighs.
"That courtyard looks quite large; it must have been a big martial arts school before. How did it become so dilapidated?"
"Sigh, after the old master passed away, the young and ambitious Senior Brother Xiahou took over the position of the leader of the 'Heyi Sect'. He challenged more than a dozen martial arts schools in Jihua and defeated them all. After his fame grew, he was hired by the Hong Kong Police Force as a combat instructor. Then I heard that he had an accident in Hong Kong."
Before long, the thousands of students gradually dispersed, leaving only Senior Sister Shan guarding the place, probably still hoping that Senior Brother Xiahou would return to restore the sect's glory.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Xiao Li continued, "But all of this was told to me by my master before."
"Senior brother? Senior sister?" Cao Tai pondered these two titles, and in his heart he was also wondering why Xiao Li had said that he had no talent for martial arts and had started working at a young age. His master had even told him these things, which made it seem suspicious that he was not a core disciple of "Hong Sheng Guan"!
Is there any connection between "He Yi Men" and Cai Li Fo?
"Oh, when Master Shan was still alive, he had a very good relationship with my master, and the disciples under his tutelage also had a very good relationship. They all addressed each other as fellow disciples according to their seniority."
However, Master Shan practiced Natural Fist, and later combined it with several other martial arts to create the "Unity School," but their core was still Natural Fist.
Xiao Li spoke eloquently.
"The Natural Fist of Master Du, the Grandmaster of the Republic of China who once served as Mr. Sun's personal bodyguard?" If the Unity School is passed down from this lineage, then it has quite a prestigious background.
"Yes, but my master said that Uncle Shan was a disciple of Master Wan, so he should be the fourth generation. However, Master Wan later went to Fujian, while Uncle Shan stayed in Guangdong and eventually founded the 'Heyi Sect'." Xiao Li knew a lot more.
"Section Chief Li," Cao Tai called out Xiao Li's official title.
"Um, Mr. Cao, what's this...? Just call me Xiao Li." Cao Tai's sudden seriousness made the still young Li Ke a little unaccustomed to it.
"The Xiahou senior brother you just mentioned from the 'Unity Sect' should be named Xiahou Wu, right?"
"Mr. Cao, you actually know Senior Brother Xiahou Wu!" Xiao Li was surprised. He didn't know about the "Heyi Sect" but knew about Xiahou Wu. Could it be that Xiahou Wu became famous after being invited to teach boxing to the Hong Kong police force?
"Actually, I've only heard about it from others. Xiahou Wu was sentenced to five years in prison for killing someone while challenging a martial arts school in Hong Kong. But I think he was set up by someone."
"How so?" Xiao Li suddenly became interested, and even the driver in front of him pricked up his ears to listen.
"Think about it, a police combat instructor who goes to challenge famous boxing gyms on Hong Kong Island whenever he has free time, disregarding all the rules of the underworld, and he's actually quite skilled. Wouldn't some of the gyms that haven't been challenged yet, and aren't confident they can beat him when he comes knocking, do something to prevent him from ever challenging them so arrogantly again?"
"Absolutely! No wonder when someone from Hong Kong came to ask him to do something, he went without hesitation, even neglecting his thousands of disciples."
Actually, after Senior Brother Xiahou had challenged us at Jihua's gate several times, some seniors might have already privately spoken to him about it.
Xiao Li looked as if he had just realized something.
"But just because of this challenge, he was arranged to kill someone and go to jail?" Xiao Li was a little confused.
"It's normal. Not to mention all the martial arts schools on Hong Kong Island, many of them have all sorts of messy relationships with local gangs. Some martial arts schools are even training bases for thugs of certain gangs."
Xiahou Wu's audacity in barging into someone's establishment without even a word of warning was tantamount to ripping someone's face off and then kicking them while they were down. It's therefore quite understandable that the other party would set him up.
Cao Tai thought about it more and more and felt that he had guessed the real reason why Xiahou Wu killed someone in the martial arts competition. That was, someone had set a trap to let him in, so that he would not be able to suddenly and unexpectedly attack the door again.
"That's really..." Xiao Li was speechless.
"You know that triads are rampant in Hong Kong now, and there are hardly any business owners on the streets who aren't harassed. My girlfriend happens to run a shop, and she's a weak woman with no strength to fight back. If someone comes to cause trouble, it'll be a real problem."
I don't have much time to be with her, so if I could hire a few skilled women to be her bodyguards, I could feel much more at ease.
I just heard you say that your Senior Sister Shan is guarding this courtyard alone waiting for Xiahou Wu to return. Why don't you just go to Hong Kong Island and wait there? You could even apply to visit her in prison every now and then.
Shan Ying, the senior sister of the "He Yi Men" sect, is actually quite skilled. Although she is far from being a match for Feng Yuxiu in the movies, you should also consider that Feng Yuxiu was just a little short of mastering the art back then. Xiahou Wu only won against him by a hair's breadth.
It can be said that at that time, Feng Yuxiu was probably not much different from Yu Hongsheng, the most powerful master Cao Tai had ever seen. Shan Ying could go through ten or eight moves with him with a sword, so it was normal that he could deal with three or five ordinary people with bare hands, and ten or eight strong ordinary people with weapons could not get close to him.
Ms. Wang and Ms. Li were indeed uneasy without someone with some fighting skills by their side. Xiao Fu, Ning Wei, and even Wei Guo and his men all had missions and were simply too busy to be in two places at once. If they had Princess Yu Shu, who knew martial arts, to protect them closely, they would feel much more at ease.
