Chapter 37: South Fist, North Leg, Immortal Sword
"Uncle remembers your parents." Liu Yanzhi said while wiping tears. Although he temporarily borrowed Chen Yongren's body, he did not kill the other party's soul. There were two souls in this body, but Chen Yongren's mental power was too weak and could only provide memory and emotions.
"I miss my father and mother too." Chen Zikun lowered his head, but did not cry.
"Do you still remember what your father is called and what he does?" Liu Yanzhi asked him.
"My father's name is Liu Yanzhi, he is a carpenter." Chen Zikun replied.
"Your father is not a carpenter, he is a time traveler."
“What is a time traveler?”
“They are time racers.”
Chen Zikun didn't understand what a person who raced against time was. He was just an eight or nine-year-old child and was very playful, but there was nothing to play on the cruise ship. Chinese passengers in fifth-class cabins either pushed Paijiu to gamble or drank and beat their wives. The upper deck was only available for first-class and second-class cabin guests. The father and son had plenty of time to spend together.
Liu Yanzhi asked his son what he liked, and Chen Zikun said he liked fighting.
"Is it a fight or a war?" Liu Yanzhi said with a wry smile. The eldest son and the second son are of the same interest, and they are both related to violence.
"Fight." Chen Zikun said firmly.
What should I learn for such a young child? Liu Yanzhi took a look at his martial arts. Apart from learning some light-knit hidden weapons from Xia Feixiong of the Swallow Sect back then, the only sword skills he learned from Lu Dongbin were left. He couldn't run and jump on the boat, and there were no extra small objects to practice as hidden weapons. Then learn swords.
Liu Yanzhi found two small bamboo poles to teach his son to practice swords. Although Chen Zikun is young and has a high understanding, he has mastered a set of swordsmanship during his long journey in the Pacific Ocean.
"Uncle, what is this sword technique?" Chen Zikun asked.
"Well, Taiyi Xuanmen Sword Technique." Liu Yanzhi casually mentioned a name that really existed.
"Who did you learn from?" The child likes to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"It's a sword immortal... Uncle tells you a story."
"It can also be rowing! I like to listen to stories the most!"
As the days passed, the father and son’s relationship became deeper and deeper, and the American Ocean Cruise Jenny Flower also approached its destination.
...
In March 1909, a cruise ship from the United States from Shanghai Shiliupu Wharf docked. Among the passengers who disembarked were a Chinese father and son. The father was tall, thin and thin. He was wearing a bamboo cloth gown, a thousand-layer cloth shoes, a Panama straw hat, an oil paper umbrella under his armpits, and a suitcase in both hands. Behind him was a little boy with a thorny head and a dress, looking around, looking around, curious.
This is Chen Yongren and Chen Zikun who have just returned from the United States. They went down to the dock and someone immediately came to greet him.
"Yongren, you are back, thank you for your hard work." A man with sharp eyes and simple clothes stepped forward and held Chen Yongren's hand tightly. Then he saw Chen Zikun behind him, nodded and said, "This is Kunwu, okay, the little guy is very timid."
Chen Yongren's memory was open to Liu Yanzhi. He recognized that the man in front of him was a founder of the Restoration Society and a famous anti-Qing righteous man Tao Chengzhang.
"It's no hard work to do your best for the revolution." Liu Yan said straight, looking back at his son: "Call someone, this is Mr. Tao."
"Hello, Mr. Tao." Chen Zikun bowed and bowed.
Tao Chengzhang laughed: "Go, get in the car and go back to welcome you."
The people took their luggage and sent them to a European four-wheeled carriage, heading towards the French Concession. The Restoration Association was engaged in the anti-Qing cause. Naturally, the base area could not be set up in the old city under the jurisdiction of the Qing government, but in the French concession. Qing army spies did not dare to go in and arrest people, which was very safe.
The stronghold of the Restoration Association was located in an inn called Tianbao. Those who were in and out were all heroic Jianghu Association members. They ate and lived together, drank big bowls of wine every day, ate large pieces of meat, and gathered together to discuss military and national affairs, how to overthrow the Qing court, establish a new dynasty, and how to enfeoff the brothers. The talks were full of enthusiasm and joy.
The arrival of Chen Yongren and Chen Zikun did not attract the attention of these geniuses. In fact, Tao Chengzhang did not introduce them grandly, because this matter involves confidential plans, the fewer people know the better.
Tao Chengzhang arranged a room for them, went to the next door to find a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and said, "Wei Jun, you can take care of this little brother in the future."
The girl was so handsome that she bowed her hand and asked Tao Chengzhang: "President, who are they?"
Tao Chengzhang said: "This is Mr. Chen Yongren, a friend of our Resurrection Association in the United States. This child is very old. He is the adopted son of Qiu Jin's female hero and the youngest comrade in our Resurrection Association."
The girl widened her eyes and looked in disbelief.
Liu Yanzhi was also stunned. He knew that the female hero Qiu Jin of Jianhu was killed, but he was bravely killed two years ago. How could he become Chen Zikun's godmother?
Tao Chengzhang smiled and said, "It's a long story. This is a plan formulated by the female hero Qiu Jin and the righteous man Xu Xilin at Datong Academy. I am just an executor. Don't ask so much, just take care of your little brother."
The girl was very obedient and took Chen Zikun's hand and said, "Brother, sister will take you out for fun."
Chen Zikun asked Liu Yanzhi with his eyes and got a positive answer: "Go to play with my sister."
After the siblings went out, Tao Chengzhang said: "It's not time to go, I'll ask someone to come here to ask Huo Yuanjia to teach Kunwu to practice boxing."
Liu Yan said straight: "Is it so urgent, don't you rest for two days?"
Tao Chengzhang said: "The great cause of revolution is to seize the day."
He called a servant to take his name to ask for the martial artist. Huo Yuanjia, the Cangzhou Mitsunobu Fist, came to Tianbao Inn. Soon, Huo Yuanjia and a middle-aged man came to Tianbao Inn. Everyone introduced each other. It turned out that the middle-aged man was Huo Yuanjia's best friend Nong Jinsun. They were all patriotic martial arts people and admired Tao Chengzhang and the revolutionary party. After hearing Tao Chengzhang's request, Huo Yuanjia agreed without hesitation.
"Tao also has a reluctant request. This matter must be kept confidential, which means that you cannot openly become a disciple, nor can you go to Jingwu Sect to learn martial arts. You have to bother Master Huo to come out to teach martial arts." Tao Chengzhang bowed and said.
Huo Yuanjia pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, you can't openly apprenticeship, so you can't apply to your disciples privately. Please give me a testimony. This child will be my fifth disciple of Huo Yuanjia in the future."
Yin Weijun led Chen Zikun back to the hotel. The idle people retreated. Tao Chengzhang prepared the Grand Master's chair and teapot, and asked Chen Zikun to kowtow three times to Huo Yuanjia, who was sitting upright. From then on, he became the fifth brother of the Jingwu Society.
Huo Yuanjia said: "Since it is kept confidential, I cannot take the real name on my Jingwu Sect family tree. I will give you a name for you, just call me Chen Zhen."
From then on, Huo Yuanjia went to Tianbao Inn every three days and picked up Xiao Chenzhen to practice martial arts. Liu Yanzhi did not accompany him. He believed that Huo Yuanjia was still a bit real, but learning a mysterious fist was too single. He thought about learning another leg method for his son. Tan Le from the Northern School was good. When he had time, he took his son to Guangdong to learn Hongquan, Foshan's shadowless foot and so on.
At this moment, Liu Yanzhi was like a father of a college entrance examination student, and he was dedicated to finding the best tutor for his son. Not only him, but other revolutionary patriots also cared for Chen Zikun, such as another tycoon in the world, Chen Qimei, who returned from Japan.
Chen Qimei is only in her early thirties, young and heroic, wearing a pair of gold wire glasses, a British suit, and a civilized stick in her hand. His every move shows the style of a foreigner. When he came to Tianbao Inn and saw Chen Zikun, he made a jade pendant.
This jade pendant is simple in shape, with two words "Kunwu" engraved on it.
Chen Zikun dared not take other people's gifts casually, and put his two little hands behind his back and glanced at Liu Yanzhi.
"Take it, this is what Qiu Jin left for you. It was originally your thing." Chen Qimei said solemnly.
Liu Yanzhi nodded. Of course he knew this jade pendant. This jade pendant was first given to him by Liu Bang. Later, he was held by Huo Qubing for a period of time. In the course of history, he fell into Qiu Jin's hands and then returned to his son. It was also considered a destiny of heaven.
Chen Zikun took the jade pendant and hung it around his neck on the spot.
Chen Qimei laughed heartily and said, "Child, how are you practicing martial arts? Show me boxing all the way."
Chen Zikun practiced a set of mysterious fists without saying a word. Chen Qimei nodded and said yes, touched Chen Zikun's head and said, "This child has a great future. I like it, why don't I recognize my adopted son."
"I don't." Chen Zikun refused firmly.
