The Era of Hard Work

Wherever the city is built on culture and tourism, it wants to tell good stories and create some sensational events, and Qingzhao is no exception.

At the first Wulin Discussion Conference, Li Zhifang delivered a speech on behalf of Qingzhao District and announced the official opening of the conference.

In the second row under the big stage, Lu Dong ordered two bottles of mineral water, unscrewed one and handed it to Song Na: "Drink some water."

Song Na took it and took a sip, then pulled him to sit down: "It's about to start!"

Lu Dong opened another bottle and took two sips: "It's wonderful."

Song Na glanced at Lu Jianren, who was sitting among the heads of the Dama Jindao, and said, "Uncle Qi went up too?"

Lu Dong had the urge to cover his face: "He doesn't do anything right, just join in the fun."

"What identity does Seventh Uncle use?" Song Na looked carefully: "The black robe is embroidered like scorpions and spiders, so it's not in the name of the Five Poison Sect?"

She deliberately said: "Among a bunch of decent sects, an evil heretic got mixed in."

Lu Dong waved his hands again and again: "Let's not mention him, let's not mention him."

After the leader's speech was over, Xia Dan, who served as the host, announced the start of the next session.

Before the formal discussion, the masters performed their own stunts.

The first person to appear on the stage was Shi Yanzhuang, the head coach of Shaolin monks.

This great monk, who is somewhat like Lu Zhishen, performed Vajra Fist.

He punched on the field, stomped his feet from time to time, roared, and his momentum was overwhelming.

The whole audience was commotion, cheering continuously.

A total of ten masters have appeared on the stage to perform. These people can make a certain reputation in the martial arts world, and their actual combat ability is not to mention their performance.

Nothing else, just play beautifully!

The audience cheered continuously, and the reporters excitedly took pictures one after another.

Wonderful on the court, lively off the court.

The martial arts discussion conference lasted for two days. In addition to discussing martial arts, there were also a series of activities interspersed.

On the one hand, it is performing martial arts, and on the other hand, it is close contact with many martial arts enthusiasts.

For things like taking photos and signing autographs, the big bosses basically don't refuse anyone who comes.

As for the photo interviews of media reporters, the more the better, I wish I could show more in the media.

These, in turn, can become promotional materials for recruiting students.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be people who want to challenge, but they are rejected one by one by the organizer and the leaders.

The reason is easy to find, and the big can't bully the small.

On the second day of the conference, the Lujia Village Folk Tourist Area was almost overcrowded, and it was hard to get a ticket for the conference.

In the afternoon, when discussing Wu Lun Dao entered the deep water area, Lu Jianren, who represented the Five Poison Sect, raised a few sharp questions under the urging of Lu Dong.

"Now, many people are doubting the practicality of martial arts."

The session of discussing martial arts and Taoism is far less attractive than various performances, and it is more or less boring. In order to bring the conference to a successful conclusion, and to allow the media to have relevant content to hype, Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, through the mouth of Uncle Seven, proposed A topic of great interest to the general public.

Specifically mentioning Qiao Weiguo's competition on Taidong Sports Channel: "Two years ago, Taidong TV ran a program. A professional Sanda practitioner defeated many masters who passed on martial arts. Many of them couldn't even last a round."

One of the masters answered, "That's because they are not good at learning! If it's our Emei, the one who practiced Sanda earlier is looking for teeth!"

There are many people who agree, but there are also voices of opposition.

The levels of these masters are uneven, and there is no shortage of those who are willing to open their eyes to see the reality and think about the current situation of martial arts.

Bai Yihai of Kongtong is one of them. He said: "Everyone, don't be blindly optimistic. Let me tell you that traditional martial arts are almost at the point of life and death."

Some people disdain: "Your words are exaggerated."

However, Bai Yihai said: "In the past five or six years, I have seen many contests between those who practice traditional martial arts and those who practice Sanda. When you pass on martial arts, you win more than you win. If someone really wants to challenge it publicly, traditional martial arts may be greatly impacted."

Although the head of the Qingcheng faction has a world dream, he does not deny some things: "Among my apprentices, those who can really fight are all from Sanda or other professional systems."

Bai Yihai further said: "Old Liu, when you talk about this, you have to mention the martial arts of the school system. The martial arts of the school system have developed into a sport with no actual combat value."

This point was supported by Shaolin Temple Shi Yanzhuang: "Traditional martial arts pay attention to practicality, and actual combat is the first. But what about college martial arts? What are they pursuing? Actual combat is not within the scope of their consideration at all. They pay attention to It is a beautiful and difficult movement, the most direct purpose of practicing martial arts alone is for self-defense, you say you can fly 360 degrees, no matter how beautiful the posture is, can you hit the thief?"

Lu Jianren suddenly answered: "If you want to hit a thief, the most practical one is our Five Poison Sect. Are there any thieves that poisonous insects can't solve? Just throw a box if one doesn't work!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, especially the people in Lujia Village, who were shaking their heads with laughter.

Many eyes drifted towards Lu Dong, but Lu Dong lowered his head, not looking at anyone.

If I don't look at you, I won't be embarrassed!

As for the Seventh Uncle on the stage, he was not at all embarrassed, and he showed off: "My apprentice has assisted the police in capturing wanted criminals several times, and many of them are vicious and vicious with their lives behind their backs, but they only used the five poisons. It’s just teaching the most low-level itch.”

When did the Five Poisons Sect count Chilizi as one of the Five Poisons? Everyone on and off the stage couldn't understand, are you the real Five Poison Sect?

After talking with Lu Jianren yesterday morning, all the heads have more or less inquired about the Five Poisons Sect nearby, but I didn't expect that there really was a Five Poisons Sect in Qingzhaoren's rumors.

After confirming the news, some of the heads joked in private: Should we follow the example of the six sects and besiege Guangmingding, and take the opportunity to wipe out the Five Poisons?

But unexpectedly, a few people who inquired carefully found that this Five Poison Sect was not the other Five Poison Sect, and this was a Five Poison Sect dedicated to doing good deeds.

Most importantly, no one can offend the rumored leader, that is the famous Qingzhao Lu Kuisheng!

I don't know why, they are obviously positive characters, but the nicknames of these uncles and nephews are bullies.

Zuo Shandiao and Liu Kuisheng are no fun.

Hearing Lu Jianren's words, Bai Yihai showed a bit of shame: "My generation of martial arts practitioners is supposed to uphold justice, but lack of actual combat, the decline of martial arts is obvious, and I am not afraid of making jokes when I say it. About three or four years ago, there was a The thief snatched a lady's purse in front of me. My first reaction was to be dazed, and then I watched from the sidelines, because the thief was stronger than me and younger than me. I thought he might not be able to beat him! It was still a few The college student rushed up and stopped the thief, and I still feel guilty when I think about it."

Hearing Bai Yihai expose his family scandal, the other heads fell silent for a while.

Being able to say such a thing in public may be somewhat eye-catching, but there is no doubt that Bai Yihai is worried about the development of Chinese martial arts.

The leader of the Qingcheng faction answered: "So, I feel that there are some competitions that cannot be called martial arts competitions, especially those that score points, they should be called gymnastics! If you call him martial arts, it must have offensive and defensive connotations. , it must be able to be used in actual combat! Have you ever seen Sanda practitioners practicing 360 degrees in the air?"

Bai Yihai was deeply worried: "I personally feel that if we don't pay attention to the actual combat of traditional martial arts as soon as possible, and use fake things like toad jumping or beating cattle across mountains to deceive people all day long, the reputation of Chinese martial arts will be completely destroyed sooner or later! It may not take many years for Chinese martial arts to lose the halo of traditional culture, and from Chinese kung fu to Chinese dance, martial arts has really become gymnastics!"

These industry insiders may have problems of one kind or another, but there are also a few of them with relatively bright eyes who can see common problems in the industry.

Someone like Master Yan has a worse reputation than the King of Thunder and Lightning.

A deputy editor-in-chief of the "Taidong Evening News" was a special guest and also responded to this question.

"Sect Master Bai is not unfounded!" The man said, "Last year, I noticed in the newspaper alone that there were six martial arts or other martial arts teaching institutions that wanted to advertise in the "Taidong Evening News". Four wanted to teach the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, and two wanted to teach the Palm of Despondency, but our evening papers didn't accept it."

After some discussions on the practicality of traditional martial arts, the audience was quite interesting. The media reporters had material to write about, and it was a good ending for the first Wulin Discussion Conference.

At the closing ceremony, Youdao Chang from South Wudang Mountain made a concluding speech on behalf of the leaders.

This Taoist priest is one of the masters who has not performed on stage in person. First, he is relatively old, and second, he is self-cultivating.

But Taoist Master You also has strengths, and even Lu Dong deeply admires him for his political awareness and high level of speech.

You Daochang avoided talking about the debates at the Wulin Discussion Conference, and gave a far-sighted speech. He first thanked: "On behalf of all the people present at the meeting, I thank the Party, the Qingzhao District Government, and the Lujia Village Branch for hosting a victory for us. It is a successful martial arts conference! I hope this conference will have far-reaching and great significance for the development of tourism and economy of Lujia Village!"

Off the field, people from Lujia Village and relevant personnel from the Qingzhao District took the lead in applauding, and the applause was warm.

Several Qingzhao leaders who participated in the closing ceremony nodded secretly when they saw You Daochang. This person is of a good level. If Qingzhao still organizes similar activities next year, he must be invited to participate.

You Daochang's three views are particularly positive. In his subsequent speech, he closely combined martial arts with the development of Chinese society: "Many people will ask, what is Chinese martial arts? Based on my years of research on Chinese martial arts, I have summarized two One aspect! One is that Chinese martial arts fit the national spirit. If a nation has a strong spirit and perseverance, it is an invincible nation! The second point is that Chinese martial arts is our national culture, and what belongs to the nation belongs to the world, and only the nation Only culture can make the world admire!"

With the speech of Daoist You, the first martial arts conference came to an end.

Immediately afterwards, various media rushed to report, and even Xinhuashe paid attention.

At the same time, the names of Qingzhao and Lujiacun frequently appeared in major media.
