Chapter 15: The Secret of the Chest Compartment
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet finally ended, and everyone said goodbye in front of the Lingfeng Restaurant.
"Master, will you visit my house tonight?" Gao Yide invited.
"Yes, you can go to my Lingfeng Pavilion!" Gao Lingfeng said with a smile.
Liang Hua became anxious and despised Gao Yide and his son and said, "Second brother should stay at my house for a few days first!"
"Grandpa, can't you want my house to take a walk?" Dong Tianyue also said from the side.
Mr. Dong was in high spirits today, drank a few more drinks, and said slightly drunk: "My old bones have become a hot commodity, so I don't have to grab them. I will stay in Wenzhou for a few days this time. Tonight I will have a long talk with my third brother, and I will go to Yue'er and Yide's house to see it tomorrow. How about it?"
Everyone had no objection.
Before leaving, Mr. Dong stretched out his head from the car window and told Dong Tianyue: "You must keep that box, and the thing will be donated to the country sooner or later. Also, don't be unfamiliar with carving and calligraphy skills. I will check it out tomorrow if I have time."
"Yes, grandpa." Dong Tianyue bowed.
Afterwards, Liang Hua's bulletproof car gradually disappeared into the night, and only Gao Yide and Dong Tianyue were left in front of the brightly lit restaurant.
"Master, come to my house to sit?" Gao Lingfeng walked over and said.
"No need." Dong Tianyue said: "I have something to do when I go back."
"Then I'll tell you to see you off?" Gao Lingfeng no longer tried to keep him and asked tentatively. Dong Tianyue did not refuse.
After a while, a black BMW stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and a shrewd middle-aged man in black came down. He took off his sunglasses and walked over to pay his respects to Gao Lingfeng and his son: "Brother Feng, old man!"
"Akai, this is Mr. Dong, my precious guest, you send him home in person! Be sure to ensure his safety!" Gao Lingfeng ordered seriously.
Akai is in his thirties, with a medium figure and a muscle. Everyone in the Tao knows that Akai is the gold medal thug of "Lingfeng Entertainment City" and is also Gao Lingfeng's confidant favorite. Seeing that the boss valued Dong Tianyue so much, Akai looked solemn in his facial expression. He couldn't help but look at Dong Tianyue a few times and smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Dong!"
"What Mr. Dong? Call me Brother Dong? Remember in the future. Brother Dong comes to all the venues under my Lingfeng Entertainment City to play on my bill!" Gao Lingfeng said loyally, patting his chest.
"Yes, boss. I remember!" Akai said.
Half an hour later, Dong Tianyue parked the car at the entrance of a supermarket, and then walked back to the "Moxiang Pavilion" community for more than ten minutes. After returning to the community, Dong Tianyue called Dongzi, who said that he was with his parents and had some small things at home and would get together again another day.
Dong Tianyue's home lives in Unit 501, 3, Building 8. Although it is just a single apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, it is also considered Dong Tianyue's warm little nest. Because it involves some personal privacy, Dong Tianyue is not suitable for living in school dormitories.
After taking a shower, Dong Tianyue climbed onto the bed and lay down, fiddling with the puzzle treasure chest in his hand. With the help of the perspective eye, Dong Tianyue successfully opened the compartment inside. Hey, it feels great to have a perspective eye. Although there is a little dizziness when it is opened, the feeling of a rapid heartbeat is so exciting, just like a sweet kiss with the goddess in his heart is unforgettable.
"Bang!"
A gap was "breaking" on the side of the treasure chest, and a small waxy scroll was exposed inside, the thickness of the pen, like a handwritten note. Dong Tianyue opened the scroll with excitement, his heartbeat faster, thinking that it was a treasure map or something? Since this thing is so secretly hidden, it must be extraordinary!
Dong Tianyue carefully opened the scroll made of wax paper, and when he saw the content inside, his eyes suddenly lit up. The scroll was not much, and it was written in classical Chinese, and it looked like a suicide note or a letter to a friend.
Dong Tianyue has a good classical arts and is more shocked the more he reads. He actually mentioned the Wing Chun master Liang Zan in the letter? What was even more shocking was that the signature at the end of the note was: Lin Sanzhi!
"Three Mad Lin Sanzhi? It's him? Lin Sanzhi actually had such an experience!" Dong Tianyue couldn't help but be shocked and sat upright.
Lin Sanzhi master Dong Tianyue knew that he studied under Huang Binhong, a famous calligrapher, painter, collector and connoisseur. In order to determine the authenticity, Dong Tianyue opened his laptop and checked the birth and death years of Liang Zan and Lin Sanzhi. At the same time, he compared what he learned in his heart to see if they were people of the same era.
Liang Zan's understanding is not unfamiliar with Dong Tianyue, so he checked the computer again in order to confirm it. This is what the information says.
Regarding the origin and development of Wing Chun, there is a saying: "It originated from Yen Wing Chun, originated from Liang Zan, passed on to Ip Man, and flourished by Liang Ting!" Liang Zan played a role in inheriting the past and opening up the future in the middle, and its significance was extraordinary.
Liang Zan (about 1851-1918) was from Heshan City, Guangdong Province. He was born at home in Qingzhengtang Street, Foshan. His father opened a Zanshengtang medicinal material store in Foshan’s Chopper Street Market, and was proficient in Qihuang medicine. When Liang Zan was 18 years old, he first learned Nan Shaolin boxing, Wing Chun boxing secret techniques, and 6:30 stick techniques. Later, he set up a museum in Foshan to teach his disciples, and promoted Wing Chun boxing.
After reading some information about Liang Zan, Dong Tianyue compared the descriptions of his daily masters and understood that Liang Zan's internal skills and mental methods were not yet used to be lost in that era.
But how could Liang Zan know Lin Sanzhi? This is not consistent with both literature and martial arts? Is it true as stated in the letter?
Immediately, Dong Tianyue searched Lin Sanzhi's information with a puzzled heart.
Lin Sanzhi, (1898-1989), was originally named Lin Lin, also known as Yilin, with the name Sanzhi, and the nickname Sanchi, Zuoer, Laoren on Jiangshang, and others. He called him the "Three Contemporary Tricks" of poetry, calligraphy and painting with Zhao Puchu and Qi Gong. Later generations respected him as the contemporary "Crass Saint".
People in the world only know that Mr. Lin Sanzhi's calligraphy is the best in the world, but they don't know that he has another unique skill: martial arts. When he was young, Lin Sanzhi was proficient in various martial arts, including Tai Chi, Wing Chun, Eight-Disciple Brocade, Ten-Disciple Leg Bounce, Plate Palm, Eight-Hanging Palm, Eight-Hanging Stick, etc., which made him familiar with it, and five or six young people could not get close to him.
Fan Ruyin, the successor of the "Caster Saint", recalled later that people realized that Lin Sanzhi was once a martial arts master!
"So that's it!"
Dong Tianyue sighed that Lin Sanzhi is so famous in the calligraphy and painting world that he is known as the contemporary "Crafts Saint", which obscures the light of his martial arts. In fact, there are many people in the antique world, such as Qi Gong. Most people only know that Qi Gong is the master of calligraphy. Friends who like calligraphy and painting may also know that Qi Gong's original calligraphy is very expensive, about 100,000 to 200,000 per square foot. However, if you know that he is a great master of antiques, there are not many people who can carve seals.
Dong Tianyue compared the birth and death chronology of Lin Sanzhi and Liang Zan and found that they were indeed likely to date. The year when Mr. Liang Zan passed away, Lin Sanzhi was 21 years old. Thinking of this, Dong Tianyue read the letter carefully several times, which roughly means this.
When I was young, I was naughty and liked to dance with guns and sticks. In terms of calligraphy and painting, like Qi Baishi, I was considered to be a latecomer, but I learned martial arts in my youth.
When I was fourteen, my father died of illness, and my family was getting worse and worse, and my life was difficult. Since then, I worked hard to study and travel around. When I was about 17 years old, I encountered a group of people arrested people in Foshan, and saw injustice and helped them. They were all trained in the family, with some martial arts foundation and weapons in hand. I was outnumbered. Fortunately, Liang Zan's second son Liang Bi helped them, so they beat them away and arrested them.
Liang Bi has a strong temperament as a hero in the world. Seeing that I was extraordinary, I invited me to a restaurant to have a drink, hoping to make friends. After meeting each other, I officially fought with Liang Bi three times. Except for the first time he was arrogant and injured by my "Elfing Tai Chi" internal energy, I was defeated by the other two times.
I remember that when I met for the second time, Liang Bi seemed to be able to break my Tai Chi, so I changed to "Ten Roads of Flashing Legs" and "Spin the Palm". Liang Bi was shocked, but I didn't expect that I would still be able to Spin the Palm? Although judging from the strength of my palm, it was just like I was just getting started, this surprised him. Unfortunately, I was not as hot as I was, and Liang Bi found the empty gate and was defeated again.
The third time I fought was in the large yard of Liangbi's house, which was the fragrance of August osmanthus. The old man was in good health at that time, and sat on a rattan chair under a big tree in the yard and watched Liangbi compete with me. Liangbi wanted to try my weapons and skills, so he proposed to compete with the weapons. I agreed. In that fight, I used the Shaolin clapper stick and Liangbi used the Wing Chun six-thirty stick technique. After nearly a hundred moves, I was defeated.
Afterwards, the old man applauded. Only then did I realize that the reason why Liang Bi was able to break my Tai Chi was because of his father Liang Zan. Liang Zan was a master of martial arts and had studied martial arts in various sects. So he asked me what skills I knew and who I learned from? I answered one by one, saying that most of them were wild ways and had learned from many people. Mr. Liang said that he was very interested in my "etheless Tai Chi".
After that, Liang Zan asked me to use Empty Tai Chi and Liang Bi to fight. I used the "Eight Duan Jin" Qigong to lure the enemy into a prelude and perform extremely well. I successfully used a move of "Tai Chi shaking force", knocking Liang Bi away for two meters, stood up and took a few steps, suddenly bent down and squatted, vomiting blood in internal injuries! At that time, I thought that I might have been because I lost the first game and felt arrogant in my heart, so I couldn't help but get a little heavier when I took action.
Liang Zan was not angry. He lifted Liang Wall's clothes and looked at it. There was a blood-blocking lump on his abdomen, which looked like a palm-shaped look. Liang Zan was shocked!
A few days after that, I was a guest at the Liang family. Liang Zan is worthy of being a master of his generation. Within a few days, he learned some tips of Ethereal Tai Chi and said he wanted to go into seclusion.
This retreat lasted for a year!
A few years later, I went to Foshan again and heard that Master Liang had already traveled to the immortals. I cried bitterly. Such a virtuous medicine master, the martial arts master, passed away!
Liang Bi led me to a quiet place and gave me the book "Wing Chun Internal Power and Mind Method". He said that this book of internal power and Mind Method has been added to my father's understanding. Thanks to my inspiration for the trick of fighting cattle from across the mountain back then, so Liang Zan made an exception and wanted to give me this set of internal power and Mind Method, but told me not to pass it on to anyone. If the internal power and Mind Method of the Wing Chun School is lost in the future, I hope I can take it out and hand it back to the Liang family.
In 1989, I knew my fate was about to end. One morning, after I woke up, I suddenly asked for paper and pen, and wrote the four words "Born for Heaven and Becoming a Buddha". Then I buried this puzzle treasure box in Caishiji with my own hands, waiting for those who are destined to find it.
During this period, I wanted to give this secret book to Liang Ting, but unfortunately someone missed the lessons in Germany and did not find Liang Hua, so I buried it in Caishiji. This is also God's will.
At that time, I buried two treasure chests. One was from golden nanmu and the other was from rosewood. The one from rosewood was buried by my family, and it contained the appraisal secrets and martial arts secrets I collected in my life. Although some of them were sealed in the National Top Secret Archives and rubbings were also hidden in the home, it was probably lost, so one was buried underground.
If someone who is destined to open this treasure chest, please return the secret book to Liang Ting or Liang Hua. You will be the benefactor of the Chinese martial arts world! In return, if you feel that you are a person who stands tall and upright and has done everything that is worthy of the world, you can go to the second mountain of Caishiji to get another treasure chest. But be sure to use it for the right way! Be sure to avoid it, otherwise the country will not let you go! Alas, I don’t know if it is a bad fate or a good fate, let it go with the flow!
Dong Tianyue read this letter back and forth more than ten times. The kindness and righteousness in the lines were revealed, and he was moved several times and wanted to cry.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so amazing. No wonder grandpa admires him so much!" Dong Tianyue sighed.
Chapter completed!
