Chapter 104: Old wine in new bottles
Bai Ze is not a fool, and he knows everything he does. Although the Pei family and the Bai family in Gancheng are in friendship between fathers and sons, the friendship is not Bai Ze's own. Pei Yan wants to invite him to dinner. There are many unstarred hotels on the ground in Gancheng, so there are no need to find such a Si family club.
Although he hadn't said what was going on, Bai Ze had guessed in his heart that something must be wrong.
"If you have something, just say it, Brother Pei." Bai Ze couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Pei Yan still talking.
I don’t know what it is, but I can call the other person who is cheerful and cheerful, so it’s so hard to open my mouth.
"Okay! Then I'll say it." Pei Yan suddenly gritted his teeth and stared at Bai Ze's face: "Brother, I know that you orthodox masters of boxing have their own set of things to do, and they do things and do not do anything. Brother, I come to beg you today with shame today. If what you say is wrong and it will touch your bad intentions, you must not be surprised. At worst, you will be embarrassed and throw it home. I, Pei Yan, will not come here in the future."
"Hmm?" Bai Ze nodded, signaled Pei Yan to continue talking.
"I want to ask you to help me with a boxing match..."
The muscles on Pei Yan's face twitched, and he paused word by word from his mouth.
"What boxing match?" Bai Ze Shen didn't move, "Is it the kind of regular match with boxing gloves on the ring?"
"No, it's an underground boxing match, that is, a gambling black boxing."
Pei Yan sat opposite Bai Ze, with a little nervous face, but he finally said it.
As soon as I reached out, I poured another cup of Maotai. After a mouthful of dryness, the heat immediately surged upwards and my expression slowly relaxed. "Realistically speaking, I shouldn't have looked for you in this matter. After all, you are still young, but I heard from our old man that your kung fu is truly taught by your old man. You are better than your young man. Besides, time is too tight, and I can't find a suitable candidate for a while, so I have to come and beg you..."
"I have heard some of the black boxing, but I have never been exposed to it before... How to hit this boxing? Are there any rules in it?"
Bai Ze glanced at Pei Yan, but did not refuse on the spot.
Boxing competitions are actually the so-called "fighting" in the past. It is not uncommon to make friends with martial arts now, especially in the coastal areas of Guangdong, where the people are strong and fighting and gambling. After many people become rich, they seek assassination and thrilling, and they are everywhere to gamble. Over the past ten or twenty years, this trend has gradually spread across the country, forming a complete industrial chain, attracting many domestic experts to participate.
However, most of this kind of gambling boxing is not legal, and the holding of boxing competitions is unsightly. It is only circulated among a small number of people in the circle and spreads by word of mouth. In addition, boxers who play this kind of underground boxing match are also different from regular boxing and Sanda. They have various restrictions and protective measures. Once they take action, they will ignore everything, only the winner and loss, life and death.
Behind the huge profits in the boxing competition, once the boxer loses, his fate is often the word "death".
Therefore, the "black" of this black fist has a profound meaning and is full of blood.
Bai Ze himself has never been exposed to this, but he has only read some related introductions online in sporadic ways, but the specific details are completely dark. He is not sure at all.
"The rules of this kind of boxing match are that there is no rules. As long as one side defeats the other, it will be a win. In general, two companies are betting on the bets. The dealer gives one odds respectively. If others bet, the odds will be calculated based on the odds. In addition, the boxers who appear also have taps. It does not count the appearance fee, but there are at least 10,000 to 200,000. If the bet is larger and the funds in a game exceed 10 million, then you will get more."
Bai Ze suddenly moved his heart when he heard this. Although his face was still calm, deep down he was already stormy. He had such a big bet when he played a black boxing match? It seems that there are still many rich people in this world, spending a lot of money just to seek some sense sting.
If you can’t beat yourself, it depends on others’ beating you. If you can’t kill someone, it depends on others’ beating you for yourself.
When he thought about the fact that his family now owed Gao Chongxi a huge sum of more than three million yuan, the whole family was forced to do nothing. When he thought of his grandfather Bai Changsheng, who was old and had to be blocked at home to force debts, he would not be able to pay back the money in half a year. The old man was in his 80s and might be homeless, Bai Ze felt a little hatred.
I was so angry that my teeth were itchy.
However, this hatred was forcibly driven away by him in a flash. It is impossible for a person to live alone in the world. If things are not satisfactory, eight out of ten will always find opportunities to complain about all kinds of unfairness, but this is actually useless. Instead of complaining about the world, it is better to be upright, be proactive and strive to completely reverse this unfairness.
Compared to working for people, boxing is also about supporting one's own strength. Just like in the past, I used to be a stunning person on the street, this is about selling kung fu.
In modern times, those who practice boxing do not do evil things, rely on their hard work to make a living. There are too few legitimate skills, especially now that they earn three or four million in half a year, it is basically like dreaming.
I remembered that during the afternoon interview, I had just rejected the "buy" of Chihongyao and was unwilling to box the Sunshine Club. But a few hours later, the same request came out of Pei Yan's mouth. Bai Ze wanted to refuse again, but he did not hide his feelings at all.
Moreover, when he is also boxing for others, there is also a "human favor" issue, and he has no choice but to think about it clearly.
Bai Ze can still distinguish between Chihong Yao and Pei Yan.
"Brother, that's what I said. If you feel embarrassed, just pretend that I'm drunk and say all the drunken words. Let's drink a little more, eat a little, and then I'll take you back to school." Seeing Bai Ze not speaking for a long time, Pei Yan's face darkened, but immediately forced himself to be energetic and laughed.
"No, where to fight? When?" Bai Ze suddenly looked up and smiled. Although he was still a little hesitant, he no longer thought about it.
After all, I took advantage of the favor of the Pei family and son to successfully sign up at school and fight for him, and just thought it was because I had returned the favor. By the way, I made some money to help the family ease the financial situation.
"Ah, brother, you promised me..." Pei Yan was stunned, and then he was overjoyed and stood up from the chair: "Haha, it's so good now. To be honest, brother, there will be a season game here tonight, and the grand occasion is unprecedented. More than two months ago, I lost a total of 3 million here, which is the three-month allowance for a battalion brother under my command. If you don't help me today, in order to fill this hole, I will take out all the old foundations of my family to pay off the debt. Moreover, there are more than ten veterans in our battalion this year, and the little money I paid back is not enough. If I win today, I, as the battalion commander, can prepare more for them."
"Also, tonight, as long as you win, brother, we will get half the harvest."
"Okay!" After hearing these words, Bai Ze felt even more relieved, and even the last bit of hesitation disappeared.
The place of Shanshui Yayuan is not big. A lake dug by hand surrounds a small hill. It is only a hundred acres in total, which is included in some of the surrounding forest areas.
But Bai Ze followed Pei Yan out of the small building and walked in, but found that there was a unique world deep in the ridge. On the side of the mountain, a quaint courtyard was hidden in a verdant green area, with red walls and green tiles. When they arrived, more than a dozen luxury sports cars had been parked outside the yard, and at the same time, each car was almost followed by one or two black off-road vehicles. Whether sitting or standing inside or outside, there were tall bodyguards with tough and hard faces. They were all solemn and serious. When they saw Bai Ze and Pei Yan coming, countless eyes were paid attention to it.
"Hmph, a bunch of soft-boys, who come out to play with bodyguards, for fear that they don't know who they are. Although I often come here, I look down on these playboys the most. Damn, the master Pang Lao San didn't know where to find him last time, and he hugged 20 million from here in one night..."
It seemed that someone had spread the news that Pei Yan came inside. As soon as the gate of the courtyard opened, a group of people came up to face the two of them, including men and women, both young and handsome, and without exception, they were all dressed in the current brand casual outfits.
"Brother, I saw that the grandson in front of me was not there. This is the Pang Laosan I mentioned. His family is the famous Pang clan in northern Jilin. Although his grandfather had just retired from the province to retire, his son and uncle were in charge of the same country. The whole family was full of old foxes, which was the most hateful."
The two groups of people walked towards each other and the group stopped and blocked Pei Yan's path. Then someone laughed exaggeratedly and said loudly: "Oh, isn't this Master Pei? I haven't seen him for several months. I thought you were missing and didn't dare to come again? Why did you come this time to watch the fun or bet? I heard that you lost all your money to me last time...hahaha."
The person who spoke was a fat man with glasses, who was only 1.7 meters tall, but had a waist of three or four feet. He had a big belly and a big face, and was full of chubby smiles. He was chewing gum in his mouth. His top was wearing a Filipino tropical floral shirt, and his lower body was fat and big.
If it weren't for the sound of his speech, Yin was sarcastic and just looked at his appearance, but he would have looked very pleasing.
Bai Ze's expression was always very light, but he just glanced at the group of people and ignored it. Pei Yan was black at this time, looking like he was gritting his teeth. When he heard the Pang Lao San's words, he looked back at Bai Ze, and his confidence increased. He stretched out his hand and twisted his hands hard on the other party's face: "Pang Lao San! You just need to be cleaned up. You won the last time because you were lucky. My brother made a comeback today and wanted to bet with you again. How about it, do you dare?"
"Let go, don't touch me." Pang Lao San hurriedly retreated and widened the distance between him and Pei Yan: "It's not that we two fight. Pei Yan, you're so arrogant. The eagle under my command has won eleven consecutive games in the past three months. I see another game, and you will be able to successfully protect the game. If you dare to bet against me in this game, you will double the loss. I can't bet."
"In addition, this kid is the boxer you found? Pei Yan, aren't you crazy? You want to ask him to play. Have you prepared his death compensation? If you are not prepared, I'll give it to you after the game."
Pang Laosan reached out and wiped his face hard, looked Bai Ze up and down, and suddenly sneered, without saying much, he led a group of people into it.
The courtyard is not big, but there is an elevator on the side of the mountain that can lead directly to the underground. In order to hold such a black boxing event, Shanshui Yayuan actually invested a lot of manpower and material resources. According to the mountainous landform, half of the ridges below were hollowed out, forming a huge mountain belly space.
After coming out of the elevator, I suddenly shone in front of me. I looked up and saw a hall covering an area of one or two thousand meters in front of me. The cliffs around were ground flat and decorated with warm and anti-seepage decoration materials. On the ceiling twenty or thirty meters above the ground, huge steel frames were arranged in an orderly manner, and white lights illuminated the entire underground.
In the middle of the space is a ring built with huge stones, surrounded by pillars and ropes.
Bai Ze looked around again and found that at this time the audience was filled with men and women, both old and young. These people were either big business owners or seniors with certain social status, either silly or low-key, but in short, they were full of expectations.
Very fanatical.
There were a lot of people in the hall, but the air was not turbid. Obviously, it was in the depths of dozens of meters underground. Shanshui Yayuan still installed an extremely advanced pipeline ventilation system. More than a dozen exhaust fans rotated together to keep the air flowing inside at all times.
People who practice boxing have a high lung capacity, and turbid air will directly affect their physical fitness.
The audience seats were upwards in turn, and the seats were full of high-end sofa chairs with easy water. People sat on them to ensure a certain degree of comfort. Moreover, there were free drinks and drinks provided underground. In the passage, you could see beautiful women wearing violent clothes pushing the dining cart back and forth.
In addition, a high platform directly in front of the ring was filled with snacks and fresh fruits. There were several locations here, but they were always empty and no one was willing to make them.
"Is there any particularly important person who is watching the boxing?" Bai Ze naturally looked at every part of the underground space, and followed Pei Yan to the contestant's lounge, while also feeling secretly surprised.
There are several boxers' lounges. When Bai Ze walked over, he also saw some boxers who were preparing for it. However, these people were obviously not considered masters in his eyes. Most of them were about the same level as Li Weijian. If he really wanted to fight, he was afraid that he would not even want to catch a move.
There are also a few middle-aged people who dress up like coaches, who are not much more capable, and they are all good-looking.
If these people were opponents, Bai Ze would never have any burden in his heart. His eyes were sharp. When he looked at people, he was not limited to the surface and fur. Instead, he could judge the strength of the muscles, bones, ends, and qi and blood from some of the subtle movements of these people, so as to intuitively determine the strength of the opponent.
A true master, especially those who have rich practical experience, will have a momentum in his body. This momentum comes from the inside and appears outside. It cannot be hidden even if it is not in the realm of a master who refines Qi and turns into a god.
Another point is breathing. The breathing of an expert is long-lasting, and the external one emphasizes strength, but there must be a specific rhythm inside. For an expert, the rhythm of breathing is closely combined with his own boxing skills. How high is the skill, the rhythm of breathing will not deceive people.
The difference between these people and Bai Ze’s kung fu is too much, so Bai Ze can’t make any mistakes at first glance.
After waiting for a while, the sound outside gradually became noisy. Bai Ze was tidying up his clothes in the room and putting on the looser sportswear provided here. Suddenly, he saw Pei Yan, who had just left for a while, hurriedly walked in.
"Oh no, brother, I'm afraid my brother will kill you this time. After losing last time, I have been in the army and have no time to investigate the origin of the contestant. Until I just learned from others that the boxer named Xiang Ying was actually the apprentice of Yue Lao Dang in the capital. No wonder he is so powerful. If not, let's admit defeat before he even came on stage. I would rather not have the three million, and I can't tell you that it's a little wrong."
"Who is Mr. Yue?" Bai Ze narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
There are three eagles in the world, one is the eagle claw king Lei from Lianghuai, the other is Chen Jinquan from Jinan, Shandong, and the other is the old man Yue.
It is said that the name of Yue Lao Gan was not originally, but when he was young, he practiced the eagle claws and fist in Yue's hand. When he was fighting with people, he would always chase the wind and the moon, and he would follow him quickly and ruthlessly, and he had to completely subdue people. Therefore, over time, he had such a name.
And Mr. Yue seemed to think the name was appropriate, so Suoxing kept calling it that way.
Mr. Yue lived in the capital. Since he became famous at a young age, he has always been famous all over the world with his own Yue family. Now he is in his fifties and is in his prime. He has also opened a library to teach apprentices and taught many apprentices, but among them, they are the most outstanding and he loves not many, only a few.
Xiang Ying is the youngest among them.
"A person who practices Eagle Claws? This is a coincidence. I'm about to see it." Bai Ze also smiled, pulled Pei Yan and walked out.
