lanterns illuminate rivers and mountains

The underage child Ye Zhen was left alone in Japan, unable to speak the language, and had no relatives. He was very sad for a while.

Although Zhang Songtao came to greet him on behalf of the national team every day, and Kurosawagawa came to fish with various snacks... No, it was a visit; but Ye Zhen still felt very lonely.

Even Kurosawagawa drove across most of Tokyo and went to a traditional handmade food store to buy a large box of glutinous rice balls for more than an hour, which could not soothe the heart of Ye Zhen who missed his parents.

Ye Zhen, who was full of resentment, defeated Matsumoto Yuu and successfully advanced to the top 32; met the recognized Muay Thai champion Kuba in the wheel match, defeated his opponent within 5 minutes and succeeded in KO, and advanced to the top [-]; met a man who changed his nationality specially for the competition American black-market boxing champion McLaren kicked his opponent off the ring and rolled into the audience, advancing to the quarter-finals; then in the quarter-finals draw, he finally met the Russian Sidorov who was the most popular champion this year.

Russia is not considered a big fighting country. For a long time in history, the Chinese Sanda team didn't pay attention to old men at all.

From the traditional point of view, there is no orthodox martial arts in the West, and modern boxing cannot be called fighting at all. The roots of martial arts are in Asia.

Among the different martial arts schools in Asian countries, Japan's Kyokushin Karate is famous for its brutality and tenacity, South Korea's Taekwondo is famous for its maximum explosive power, and Muay Thai is famous for its powerful attack power from all angles... As for Chinese Sanda, it is a combination The essence of traditional Chinese martial arts and modern competitive fighting skills, it is a new fighting genre that integrates the strengths of a hundred schools of thought.

This concept was severely broken in the Jiangzhong Cup International Wushu Competition in [-].Selikhov, a Russian who is known as a contemporary genius fighter and Sanda tsar?Muslim, when he was still a rookie, single-handedly swept the entire Chinese Sanda team and defeated four top Chinese Sanda players!

Everyone who watched the game at that time felt deeply ashamed-this Russian man used the essence of Chinese Kung Fu to a high degree of proficiency, and when the Chinese side sent players to fight with each other, he played four games in a row without stopping and won all four games. One of them was KO'd, one was sent to the first aid, one was kicked off the ring, and one had no power to fight back. In the entire national team, no one dared to play again!

After the Jiangzhong Cup, Russian Sanda appeared in front of the Chinese as an unprecedented strong opponent.And the shame is that until now, no one has been able to return the shame that Muslims imposed on us back then to the Russians.

Yes, Chinese Kungfu is indeed famous all over the world, but it is hard to say that this reputation still retains some real prestige in today's world of competitive fighting.The popularity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the terrible Muay Thai elbow have brought a shadow of shame to Chinese Sanda time and time again, adding failures to the increasingly weak glory of "Chinese Kung Fu".

Although Chinese Sanda players are still working hard and fighting hard, and they still insist on fighting until the end when they are beaten up by illegal techniques; but in large-scale international competitions, Chinese Kungfu has irretrievably shown a declining trend.

This is not the personal reason of the athletes. In fact, many people have begun to realize that the truly traditional, ancient, and mysterious Chinese Kung Fu has actually begun to be lost.

This is impossible.

The real masters are among the folks, and even if there are masters among the folks, most of them live in seclusion and don't really make a living by it.Even if the country can discover masters hidden among the people, they may not be able to adapt to the various restrictions of modern fighting competitions. They may be outstretched in the ring, but they are not as good as professional competitive fighters who are familiar with the rules.

The revival of Chinese martial arts, Sanshou first.As an insider, Zhang Songtao is of course well aware of all this, and once passionately wanted to do something to change the status quo, but in the end there was nothing he could do.

So when he accidentally found Ye Shisan in Japan, his first reaction was disbelief, and his second reaction was ecstasy.

This fragile young man actually practiced the most traditional and authentic Chinese Kung Fu with powerful attack power!

You can't be wrong, this is not the kind of person that can be cultivated by modern combat training, and it is even very different from the path taken by the folk martial arts family who emphasizes self-cultivation and despises fighting!

Zhang Songtao couldn't see Ye Zhen's background, which didn't prevent him from seeing Ye Zhen's skills.If he read it correctly, Ye Zhen clearly used the legendary acupressure technique in the round against Matsumoto. He cut off the nerve veins in Matsumoto's shoulder socket with his palm, causing the 1.8-meter-tall man to paralyze half of his body in an instant. .

If Matsumoto's round couldn't explain the situation, the next two matches in which Ye Zhen defeated the Muay Thai champion and swept the American black market boxing champion will be very clear.The turning point of these two games both occurred when Ye Zhen pressed his opponent's left chest with his palm. As long as he pressed down, no matter how lively the opponent was before, he felt as if his bones had been pumped out of his body immediately afterward, and he let Ye Zhen pinch like a sandbag. Round and flatten.

If you want to use words to describe Zhang Songtao's mood, it is not an exaggeration to use the word like a treasure.

So when Ye Zhen didn't know about the Russian Sidorov in the quarter-finals match, many domestic eyes had secretly turned to him.When Zhang Songtao was on the phone with the leader of the Domestic Sports Bureau, he even got a clear order from his superior: If Ye Shisan can really defeat the Russians and avenge the shame of the Sanda team, then no matter what the cost, he must recruit this unborn genius !

The condition for defeating Sidorov is definitely not simple.First of all, Sidorov is 1.8 meters five and has a squat of [-] kilograms. He entered the Black Cross training camp in his early years and was the proud student of Yang Chun, the black cross gold medal instructor. He has won many gold medals in international fighting competitions. Non-Matsumoto Yuo and others are comparable; secondly, Sidorov and the [-] Olympic Sanda champion Selikhov?Muslims came from the same school, and they are brothers. Their master, Isagtovic, has a deep understanding of Chinese Kung Fu, and his knowledge of Tai Chi is even better than that of many Chinese.

Because of this relationship, many Chinese who gritted their teeth at Muslim pinned their hopes on the distant Japan, Ye Zhen, who knew nothing about the situation.

The game hasn't been held yet, Ye Zhen played against Piak before?The videos of Rangke, Matsumoto Yu and others have blossomed all over the Internet.Although the traditional media is not allowed to participate in the game, the online media still has the right to broadcast. Ye Zhen’s four games have been fired again and again. Experts and talents from all walks of life can’t wait to use a magnifying glass to dig out every second of each game. Come out, it is good to analyze until the oil is squeezed out of the stone.

Of course, Ye Zhen didn't know, Ye Zhen stayed in the hotel suite all day, and was occasionally invited out to dinner by Zhang Songtao, and when he returned to the hotel, he found the snacks sent by Heisawa on the head of the bed, and he had already left.

Until one day when he returned to the hotel, he saw a few young men standing in the lobby, who seemed to be students, asking the front desk what.As a result, seeing Ye Zhen walking in, these people were suddenly pleasantly surprised and shouted, "Ye Shisan!"

Ye Zhen said, "Huh?"

"Excuse me, are you Ye Shisan? The Ye Shisan who defeated Matsumoto and Kuba?"

"Oh yes."

The few students rushed over one after another, looking at Ye Shisan, who was half a head shorter than ordinary 16-year-old boys, with joy and suspicion.A reckless boy asked recklessly, "Did you really defeat Matsumoto Yuu? It wasn't something shady, right?"

Seeing his compatriots, Ye Zhen was in a good mood, nodded and said, "Yes, there is no shady scene."

Several foreign students were delighted: "I heard that you are going to play Sidorov next, right?" "We must win!" "We watched your match, it was wonderful! Good job!" "Don't worry about it!" , my buddy supports you! I will definitely go and cheer for you when the time comes!"

Ye Zhen was at a loss, just smiled and nodded.

Someone also expressed concern and asked, "You know Sidorov, right? He is very powerful. You must be careful then!"

"If you can't beat it, just admit defeat in a white towel. Sidorov has beaten people up before! You are still young, and you still have a long way to go. Don't let him cripple you because of this. Your future is gone!"

This remark immediately aroused unanimous approval, and those students comforted Ye Zhen: "The top eight is also amazing. There are not many Chinese who have won the world mixed martial arts competition, and even fewer are from Sanda! Gentleman Ten years is not too late to take revenge, you are still young! We can afford to wait!"

Ye Zhen nodded with a smile again, letting them gossip and say goodbye, seeing that it was getting late, he waved goodbye.

Several students watched him go upstairs excitedly, but Ye Zhen walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "I've seen the video of the Russian, and it's nothing to be afraid of."

The students were all stunned.

"He dares to destroy me, the young master has destroyed me so much that he can't even recognize his own mother. Just wait."

After Ye Zhen finished speaking, he waved his hand without looking at other people's reactions, and went into the elevator without looking back.

Because Ye Zhenxiao is naturally dull and well protected, he has never been interviewed by the media, and his external image is mainly low-key and modest.

Only a few foreign students that day heard his shocking and weeping proclamation - "Young master is so useless that he can't even recognize his own mother!"

Those few students were excited and excited, and they would not take this seriously.After all, Sidorov is well-known as a world-class top player, while Ye Zhen is just a teenager.

What no one expected was that Ye Zhen was really stimulated by the foreign students' words!His words were not false, he really hated that Russian!

His grandma, the young master is not even afraid of Kurosawa, even the mountain Chongdu casually killed, you old Russian, dare to act wild in front of the young master!I heard that your senior brother even ran to pick a place in our Chinese land!

It is tolerable or unbearable!Uncle can bear it, but auntie can't bear it!

If you don't show off your power, you will be Hello Kitty!

After the international students left, Ye Zhen immediately took two steps: first, apply to the competition committee to use bare fists in the competition without protective gear; Dozens of holes were poked hard!

On the day of the competition, the audience came like a mountain and the sea, the entire auditorium was completely full, and there were many enthusiastic fans who bought standing tickets in the aisle.Half of these people were originally scheduled to watch the game, and among the remaining half, a small part was Sidorov's supporters, and a large part came for Ye Zhen.

As soon as Ye Zhen came out of the locker room, Zhang Songtao was startled.

He has watched Ye Zhen's four games, but he has never seen such a strong murderous spirit.The young man was dressed in bunts, white clothes and black trousers, his wrists and ankles were wrapped with anti-sprain spun gauze bandages, and he wore a pair of soft-soled exercise shoes; whether it was the light or an illusion, Zhang Songtao felt that his face was cold, his eyes were like cold stars, and the corners of his mouth were pursed Tightly, with a fierce look in his eyes!

Ye Zhen: "If you kill this Russian, how much money will you get?"

Zhang Songtao: "..."

Ye Zhen glanced at him, with disdain on his face: "Why are you shaking, didn't you say that there is a bonus for advancing to the semi-finals? If you kill him, you will advance. I wonder how much the organizer will reward me?"

Zhang Songtao: "..."

In the first round of the quarter-finals, Ye Shisan VS Sidorov, countless online media broadcast the match in real time.Sidorov has indeed shown his strength as a top international fighter,

After playing for 5 minutes in the first round, they took three points from Ye Zhen and temporarily drew.

Taking away three points means that Ye Zhen was beaten twice - the first time happened within ten seconds of the start of the game, when he kicked his opponent's calf and kicked Ye Zhen to the ground; the second time was when he was slapped by Ye Zhen Cut to the middle, Sidorov fought back with pain, and Ye Zhen was hit in the side with a standard right uppercut; the third time was Ye Zhen’s own foul, and there were stalemate movements such as hugging, which violated the Asian free fighting competition specific rules, the opponent then scores passively.

Five minutes later, during the intermission, Ye Zhen walked back to the sidelines to drink water. Zhang Songtao jumped up and asked anxiously, "How do you feel? Can you compare?"

Ye Zhen rubbed his calf, shook his head, and said, "I'm a little dizzy."

"You are not the type to fight, pay attention to dodging!"

Ye Zhen was dissatisfied and said: "Who said I can't fight anymore? The young master just lost a little, and the bones are still very hard!"

Zhang Songtao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only tell him the rules of the game, and gave him a few sips of water.

Ye Zhen was still very energetic, he waved his hand at the camera of the online media, and jumped twice energetically to indicate that he was fine.

Countless netizens who watched the live broadcast breathed a sigh of relief at this time. 1 minute ago, the bottom of the reply was still full of screens, "What should I do? Xiao Shisan was hit!" : "This kid is tough!" "He can still dance!" "Little Shisan Xiong!" "He can still fight!"

On the other side, Sidorov was hit in the chest by Ye Zhen three times during the game, and he seemed to be fine. When he walked to the sideline, his demeanor was calm and his pace was normal, and he only swayed a little when he sat down.

The assistant hurriedly took a towel to cover his body, and brought water to rinse his mouth.The coach asked in a low voice, "You got hit in the same place three times, are you okay?"

Sidorov shook his head, gritted his teeth and swallowed a sip of water. Within two seconds, he suddenly raised his head and sprayed, and the water sprayed out from his mouth and nasal cavity!

The people around were stunned, the coach was startled, and hurriedly covered his head with a towel: "What's wrong with you! Talk, talk!"

"It's okay, I choked... I choked a little."

Sidorov wiped his mouth and tightly covered the place where he was hit on his chest with his hands, as if he wanted to press down all the churning internal organs.

He knows he has lost.

When the referee rang the bell to end the game, he could hardly stand up, and it was a miracle that he could walk back. When he drank water, the water flowed down the esophagus and into the stomach, scalding his internal organs like sulfuric acid. All in severe pain.

Ye Zhen underestimated Sidorov before the game, but Sidorov did not underestimate Ye Zhen.He watched the two previous matches of this Chinese teenager. Both the Muay Thai champion and the American boxing champion were defeated by the same trick—the moment when he was hit in the chest by the Chinese.

The boy's fingers seemed to have magical powers, he could easily find the most vulnerable point of the human body, and then move a thousand catties four or two times to achieve the most powerful attack effect.

Sidorov definitely didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Muay Thai champions. Before the match, he even called to ask his mentor, Yang Chun, the gold medal instructor of the Black Cross training camp.

"Don't underestimate that young man's naked fist like Matsumoto. That man's boxing strength is very small, but if you are hit by his finger, you will be finished. In addition, if possible, use a heavy blow to KO him as soon as possible, the best It's the back kick. The longer the game drags on, the more variable it is, and the worse it is for you."

Sidorov has a lot of trust in his mentor, and he did get a point with his back kick.But in the end, he still failed to win the game, because he was hit by Ye Zhen three times, and he was on the same acupuncture point three times.

When the young man put his finger on his chest, Sidorov felt an invisible, fierce energy instantly penetrated into the marrow of his bone, as if a nail had been driven into the crack of the bone, making him tremble with pain!

What's more, the iron nail was hit three times!

The intermission ended quickly, and the referee signaled the players to step forward.Sidorov stood up slowly, suddenly turned his head to stare at the coach, and said in a low voice: "If I fall to the ground and the Chinese is merciless, just wave a towel."

The coach was stunned for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about? You obviously played very well, but you want to give up the game?!"

Sidorov covered his chest, shook his head in pain, turned and left.

The second round starts with the ringing of the bell.This time Sidorov didn't observe, and attacked first, punching Ye Zhen's forehead!Ye Zhen dodged in time, took advantage of the situation and swept his legs, and immediately knocked Sidorov to the ground!

All this happened too quickly, and Sidorov couldn't help hitting again, causing the audience to go into an uproar!

The field commentator was also obviously surprised, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "Our Sidorov attacked first, with great momentum, but he was knocked down by the Chinese kick. Strictly speaking, the Chinese kick is not important. , but can easily knock down the Russian opponent in the [-]kg class, could it be said that Sidorov was injured in the last round?"

These words immediately stirred up waves in the auditorium, and many people stood up and looked around desperately.The referee rushed forward to count the seconds until it reached nine, and then Sidorov slowly stood up.

The referee once again signaled the start with one hand.Ye Zhen was obviously in high spirits. As soon as the referee stepped back, he turned back with his right foot, and kicked Sidorov hard with his left leg, which knocked Sidorov down like lightning!

The power of that kick was astonishing. The power of hundreds of kilograms of the downward chop knocked the opponent onto the rope!The Russian's heavy body bounced back violently, Ye Zhen landed on the left foot, and instantly hit the position where he had been hit three times in a row with a straight punch, with a click!The referee moved closer, as if he really heard the sound of bones breaking in Sidorov's chest!

Before the referee could react, Sidorov hit the rope again and bounced back.Ye Zhen didn't give him a chance to fight back, he raised his right elbow, and knocked him onto his back cleanly, almost fell off the rope and into the auditorium!

The commentator was so excited that he didn't care about anything, and shouted loudly with the microphone in his hand: "The beating! Sidorov was beaten! Our Chinese teenager has an overwhelming advantage! KO! KO! If Sidorov is not Falling on the rope, he was already KO at this time——!"

The referee whistled desperately, Sidorov's coach jumped and cursed, and threw the white towel desperately onto the ring.If it wasn't for the assistant's tugging and tugging, the old coach might have climbed through the ropes and climbed onto the ring.

"Stop! Stop!" The referee desperately hugged Ye Zhen's waist, "The red team surrendered! Sidorov gave up the game! The medical team, the medical team hastened to enter the field!"

Sidorov was beaten until his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he slipped slowly from the rope and fell to the ground.

Ye Zhen spat out the mouthguard with a bah, and wiped his face casually with his hand, which turned out to be covered with blood.He froze for a moment, only to realize that he didn't know when his nasal cavity was bleeding. It should be the injury he suffered when Sidorov hit the side of the face in the first match.

Only then did he feel a little dizzy.The Russian has won so many championships, and his boxing strength is quite large. That punch must have given him a concussion, but he didn't get emotional during the match.

The medical team hurriedly carried Sidorov away, and the referee raised Ye Zhen's hand and shouted: "I declare! The blue team will win this game, and the young player Ye Shisan from China will win—!"

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and many people stood up and applauded, forming a dense wall of people in the auditorium.

The colorful lights above the head, the grand scene on the big screen, and the morbid excitement and excitement of the crowd made Ye Zhen suddenly dizzy.He closed his eyes tightly, and opened them after a while, staring at the sky-blue ground of the ring under his feet.

He suddenly remembered that in his first game, the auditorium was deserted, and even if there were people watching, most of them were Piak?Junk fans.But now that he beat his opponent up, so many people applauded him, and they were intoxicated by the violence he showed, as if they were insane.

He suddenly missed the scene of returning to the hotel side by side with Xuan Lin after the game, and wanted to make a call to Long Jiwei and Xuan Lin.

"You won! You did it!" Zhang Songtao rushed to the ring and pulled Ye Zhen away excitedly. "You have entered the semi-finals! People in China must be very excited now!"

The aisle of the dressing room was crowded with spectators, many of them were holding their cameras, and even more were screaming, desperately reaching out to touch Ye Zhen's clothes.

Protected by Zhang Songtao and several staff members, Ye Zhen hurriedly lowered his head and walked into the dressing room, closing the door tightly.

"We go backstage and don't touch the audience." Zhang Songtao still values ​​the treasure he dug up, and he is afraid that some scouts will come into contact with Ye Zhen. "The car is ready at the back door, and we will go back to the hotel directly. You have dinner What to eat?"

Ye Zhen changed his clothes slowly, raised his head and thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "I can borrow your mobile phone to make a call, can I?"

"Who are you calling?"

"My parents."

Zhang Songtao generously borrowed the phone.Long Jiwei's number, Ye Zhen, had already memorized it in his heart, who knew that after dialing for a long time, the other party turned off his phone.

Ye Zhen was a little disappointed, and called Xuanlin again, but the phone was also turned off.

"Maybe they're in a meeting," Ye Zhen thought to find a reason for them, "or maybe they're playing kissing in the bedroom with the door closed."

He returned the phone to Zhang Songtao, and the two left the stadium through the back door.Although there were reporters waiting outside, they were far away from the staff, so they could only snap a few photos to enjoy themselves.

"Hey, where's the car?" Zhang Songtao suddenly felt something was wrong.

I saw that the TAXI he called in advance was not waiting at the gate, but was separated by a shiny black BMW across the road.Standing in front of the BMW door, Kurosawagawa was lowering his head to light a cigarette, when he raised his eyes and saw Ye Zhen coming out, he smiled slightly.

Ye Zhen turned a blind eye and walked down the steps directly.Kurosawagawa stood in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Does your head still hurt?"

He is half a head taller than Ye Zhen, looking down like this, his eyes are full of warmth that cannot be concealed.

Ye Zhen definitely didn't want to lose face in front of Chuan Chuan, so he said nonchalantly, "I didn't get hit at all, so why does it hurt?"

Kurosawa laughed, obviously not wanting to expose him, and said, "Well, I think so too."

Zhang Songtao's eyes were almost straightened, alarm bells were ringing in his mind, and he really wanted to say something, but Kurosawachuan turned a blind eye to him, treating him as an invisible person that didn't exist.

Kurosawa smiled again and said: "It's rare for you to come to Japan. I should treat you well to show the friendship of the landlord. It just so happened that you defeated Sidorov today and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Seats at the table, I'm here to celebrate your success. What do you think?"

This is an invitation!The big boss took the initiative to invite!How strong is this Chinese person, so that the big bosses personally show their favor? !The staff members were all horrified, and they exchanged gossip with their eyes: this kid is lucky, no matter whether he gets the card or not this time, he must be prosperous!

When Ye Zhen heard that there was something to eat, his complexion softened a little, but he still wanted to confirm: "——your own storefront?"

Kurosawa said modestly: "The store is small and shabby. Fortunately, it is run by my family. The ingredients are also reasonable."

"Oh, forget it, I'll go back to the hotel and eat by myself."

Ye Zhen was very disappointed.How poor is this Chuan Chuan's family, and it is "small and shabby" to open a store. Isn't this obviously a bully?

When Chinese treat guests, there is no such thing as four dishes and one soup, five dishes and one soup, are you embarrassed to serve them?Even if you go out to eat, you shouldn't invite them in a small, shabby shop. You don't worry about food hygiene, but I worry about having diarrhea!

You really don't take Xiaoye seriously!

Ye Zhen was furious, crossed the Kurosawa River without looking back, and strode towards the TAXI station across the street.How could Zhang Songtao dare to look at Hei Zechuan's face at this time, he lowered his head and hurriedly caught up with Ye Zhen, feeling as if thousands of needles were pricking his back, and Hei Zechuan's gaze almost burned a hole in his whole body.

Nima——!None of my business, Mr. Kurosawa!You yourself are too modest, who can be blamed!

Zhang Songtao's mind was running wildly, and he didn't dare to sneak a glance behind him until he got in the taxi.

Kurosawagawa held a cigarette in one hand and hung it on the car door, rubbing his temple with the other hand.He looked at the direction where Ye Zhen was leaving, his face was a bit dumbfounded, and there was helpless patience and connivance in his eyes.

Zhang Songtao was startled by that look, and he turned around to look at Ye Zhen after a while.

Ye Zhen was unconscious, his nerves were thicker than that of a dinosaur, and he had already fallen asleep leaning on the back seat of the car.
