It is said that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, a famous practitioner was born in Shen County (present-day Shenzhou, Hebei), surnamed Li Cunyi, nicknamed "Single Knife Li".
Speaking of this "single knife Li", in that year it was very famous, this person loved martial arts since childhood, flashing, exhibition, teng, moving, light as a swallow, good at making a single knife, when playing, only to see white light wrapped around, can not see the shadow, so it was named "single knife Li".
After becoming famous, it is natural to learn the art from a teacher. The more apprentices, the more famous, willing to come to find the "single knife Li" to learn martial arts is naturally more, this is called "flowers and flowers palanquin people to lift people", or how to say that people must be famous, only famous, can be a person, rich people.
Shan Dao Li's family lives in Xiaoying Village, south of Shen county, not far from Nan Xiaoying Village, and there is a Cheng Family Village, in which he has received an apprentice named Cheng Ying, who is his proud disciple.
Cheng Ying's family has money and a lively brain, and seeing that the eyes of foreigners are selling well, he rented a shop in Dongzhimen, Beijing, and opened an optical shop. This was a new industry at that time, "Cheng Ji Glasses Line" was famous just after opening, and Cheng Ying also got a nickname of "Glasses Cheng".
When the customer came to Cheng Ji glasses to choose glasses, Cheng Ying always intended to show off, after the buyer picked the glasses, he was not eager to help the buyer wrap up, but threw it with his hand, followed by an arrow step jumped out, grabbed the glasses, and then put the glasses into the box and handed them to the buyer with both hands. Only because he has this unique skill, so it has attracted more business, it is really called a prosperous business, and it is also registered in the capital, when it comes to Cheng Ji's glasses line, it is really a dog and a duck - croaking.
There is a way is "the water is big but the Dragon King Temple", the apprentice can not withstand no matter how high, but also high than the master, some people will say: "Glasses Cheng those two boys can't do, compared with his master single knife Li, poor old nose, his two sons are purely three-legged cat handle style, the middle is not useful, typical of a donkey dung ball - outside light." ”
These words reached Cheng Ying's ears, he was very unhappy, his heart was not convinced, so he had a rebellious mind, always thinking of finding an opportunity to overthrow Master, so that the name of "Glasses Cheng" was pressed on top of "Single Knife Li".
One day, Cheng Ying went to the overpass to watch juggling, and stopped by a mutton shop to buy meat, because of the small matter of the high head on the scale pole, he quarreled with the owner of the butcher shop. Cheng Ying, pretending that he had martial arts, snatched the scale pole of the other person, "clicked", and broke the scale pole. There is a term in the jianghu, which is called "kicking the stall".
The owner of the butcher shop is Meng Cun's return to the capital to do business, and he is not a good bully, a sharp knife that picks up the lamb, points at the tip of Cheng Ying's nose and says: "I recognize you, aren't you just Dongzhimen selling glasses, why are you so horizontal?" ”
Cheng Ying wanted to say, "Just by my skill." Thinking about it for a moment, isn't this just a good opportunity for my master to give a single knife Li eye drops, so he opened his eyes and said in a vicious voice: "If you don't rely on anything else, just rely on the three words 'single knife Li'." If you don't believe it, compare it with my master's 'single knife Li'. How, dare you? ”
When the owner of the butcher shop heard the three words "single knife Lee", he was stunned for a moment and did not speak.
Cheng Ying slapped the scale rod that had been broken into two pieces the meat case, turned around and laughed and walked away.
After Cheng Ying left, the owner of the butcher shop immediately found imam Ma, the sheikh, "kicked the stall" of Cheng Ying, and reported the name of "Single Knife Li" to Ma Imam as it was.
Back to the most moralistic, but also the most group, not easy to provoke right and wrong, nor ambiguous hard stubble. When Imam Ma heard that it was Shan Dao Li's apprentice who was intent on finding fault and was unwilling to show weakness, he personally wrote an invitation and sent someone to take the invitation to go away, and it must be handed over to Shan Dao Li's hands. In fact, instead of sending an invitation, it is better to say that it is a battle table, on which the first salute is followed by soldiers, nominally inviting a single knife Li Mouyue to a feast at the Great Mosque of The Halal Dynasty on a certain day, in fact, it is to learn the high tricks of the single knife Li.
When Shan Dao Li saw the invitation, he wondered in his heart: "I have never had any contact with Imam Ma, the Sheikh, so why does he want me to go to the banquet?" After thinking about it, I finally figured out that it must have been some apprentice who stabbed the basket and caused trouble for him as a master.
When I inquired, it became clear that it was Cheng Ying who poked out the basket. Therefore, Shan Dao Li got up and went to Cheng Ji's glasses line and asked Cheng Ying why he wanted to offend his Muslim friends.
Cheng Ying knew that master would come to him, and he did not say that he was rude first, but instead hit a rake upside down and pushed the responsibility on the other party.
Listening to Cheng Ying's words, Shan Dao Li did not know who to believe. You must know that his single-handed Li's name is not only famous in Shen County, but also a figure who stomps on the ground and trembles at the nine doors in the capital. Although he did not want to make a grudge with his Muslim friends, he did not want to fall behind here. If you don't go to the feast, people will say that he has instigated it; but if he goes to the feast, he will not be able to find out the other party's ability. Therefore, he asked his friends to inquire around, and finally learned that Imam Ma was practicing the hard skill of iron sand palms. Don't say it's a person, it's a stone wall, and when Imam Ma slapped it, there was suddenly a pit in the stone wall. Even if you are a man with copper and iron bones, you can't hold the iron sand palm kung fu person slap.
Single knife Li thought, I also practice hard work, there is a skeleton of the place to hit one or two should not be a big problem, my "life gate" on the small belly, can not withstand a poke, if you want to save your life, I must think of the small belly to protect it.
Having made up his mind, he hurried to the street to touch the things that could protect his small belly, and finally found the favorite things on a stall selling iron tools. It is a thick piece of iron cast of pig iron, semicircular with a curved shape, commonly known as a "plough plate", which is a farm tool used to turn the soil on a plough.
This thing was just right, so I quickly paid for it, took it back to the residence, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, wrapped it around my waist, and covered it with clothes, so that I couldn't see anything from the outside. This is finally safe, there is more than one protective plate on the small belly, and the iron sand palm is said, even the iron awl cannot penetrate.
With this iron plate to protect himself, Li can safely and boldly go to the meeting with a single knife. On the appointed day, he came to the Great Mosque alone, and when he saw the crowd that greeted him, all wearing white hats, they lined up from both sides of the goose array, holding their fists and arching their hands together: "Please! ”
Shan Dao Li held his fist in a spring breeze and returned the salute to everyone, even said "please, please", strode into the main hall, and after greeting Ma Amu and the others, he sat down separately.
People who believe in religion only drink tea and do not drink, the table is full of halal dishes, Ma Imam stood up and took the lead in toasting tea, after everyone re-seated, Ma Imam got up again, picked up a pair of unused ebony chopsticks, forked a large piece of sauce beef, smiled and said: "Uncle Li came here to feast, gave us enough face, as a landlord, first pay tribute to Uncle Li a taste of dishes!" As he spoke, the chopsticks poked forward suddenly and stopped in front of Shan Dao Li's lips.
Shan Dao Li is a jianghu veteran, how can he not understand this meaning, this is called "throwing stones to ask for directions", is to try his guts. So he stood up, first smiled, followed by a bite of beef, and at the same time, his teeth up and down, "creaked" a bite off the chopsticks, slammed a luck, "poof" a sound, two chopsticks tips flew out of his mouth like flying swords, hit a white porcelain altar five feet away, only to listen to a sound, a good white porcelain jar became broken porcelain in the blink of an eye.
Without waiting for Ma's reaction, he quickly drew a shiny dagger from his boot barrel, plunged it into the sea bowl, put on three or four pieces of beef liver, and stabbed at Ma Imam's face door: "Old Patriarch, I also salute you under the dish!" ”
Imam Ma smiled slightly, divided his beard with his hand, opened his mouth to bite the dagger, and li wanted to draw the knife, and after several times of force, he was unable to withdraw the dagger. Imam Ma loosened his teeth, and shanky Lee drew the dagger back, and couldn't help but blush a piece of white, and was embarrassed to reinsert the dagger into the boot barrel.
After the two sides exchanged a few more cups of tea, Imam Ma got up again, threw off his coat, hugged his fist, and said, "Uncle Li, please go to the courtyard to receive the teaching." ”
The people "shouted", they could not be undeserved, single knife Li stood up, bowed his hand to Ma Amu, said a "please" word, and stepped outside.
Coming to the courtyard of the courtyard, one station east, one station west, hugging each other's fists and saying "please", and then pulling away and exchanging hands.
The master moves, there are no tricks, and the emphasis is on one move to defeat the enemy. The first two palms of Ma Amu's punch are false moves, the third palm is a real move, a single palm is like a knife, and the result is not what the single knife Li expected, not up, not down, one-way small belly poke. The speed was so fast that the single knife Li could not dodge. After poking on, Shan Dao Li only felt as if he had been slammed with an oil hammer on his small stomach, his feet were unstable, and he took a few steps back, if it were not for the bottom of the plate, he would have to fall on his back.
Without waiting for Imam Ma to make a comeback, the single knife Li made a fierce tiger pounce on the sheep, a tiger pounced, and pounced on Imam Ma. Imam Ma quickly dodged, and the single knife Li took advantage of the situation to make a sweeping leg, just sweeping on Ma Imam's calf belly, sweeping Imam Ma to a toe.
Ma Ma stabilized his body and wanted to make a second move. At this time, the accompanying guests immediately stopped in the middle, separated the two, and did not allow the two to fight again. The guests all saw that there must be an injury in the fight between the two tigers, they were all jianghu men, and they could not hurt the peace because of a small matter, so they stopped the fight between the two and tried their best to match the two into friends.
In fact, there is no need for others to help resolve, Shan Dao Li and Ma Imam are both open and bright people, they have long been good men who love Han, heroes cherish heroes, the two return to the hall, say good things about each other, all give each other enough face. In this way, the two became good friends, really like the old saying: "Don't fight, don't know each other." ”
A few days later, Shan Dao Li returned to Shen County. After a few more days, Imam Ma specially purchased gifts and went to ShenXian to visit his good brothers. When he arrived in shenxian county, Ma Amao asked for directions, but he did not know that shan dao Li's family lived in Nanxiaoying Village, and when he asked for directions, he asked: "Where is Xiaoying Village?" The person who pointed the way was also confused and pointed out a road to the village of Beixiaoying. Ma Amao came to The North Xiaoying Village, and when she asked, she realized that she had gone to the wrong place, so she had to follow the correct route to the South Xiaoying Village. It was hard to get to the door of Shan Dao Li's house, and it was already dark.
As soon as he saw the old brother descend from the sky, the single knife Li could not express the excitement, grabbed the old brother's hand, and the enthusiasm was not to be mentioned. After dinner, Shan Dao Li took out a cloth bag and opened it to see that it was a cracked pig iron plough plate.
Imam Ma was very puzzled, and Shan Dao Li smiled and said, "Old brother, at this point I can't help but tell the truth." This is what I do. ”
As soon as this remark came out, Imam Ma was dumbfounded, stayed for a long time, and only then did he understand what was going on, and he couldn't help but laugh, patting the shoulder of the single knife Li, picking up the thumb and even praising the old brother for being real.
On the way to come, Imam Ma heard someone say: "The single knife Li has been trained into an iron cloth shirt and a golden bell cover, specializing in iron sand palms." Now that the old brother has shown the real bottom, he knows that the iron cloth shirt and the golden bell cover are actually a pig iron plough plate.
To say that Shan Dao Li is really a real man, he not only did not hide the truth from Imam Ma, but also placed this pig iron plough plate in the most conspicuous position in the living room, in order to educate the disciples, do not because they have some skills, they must provoke people who are not underestimating the world, and they must know that "there is a strong hand in the strong, and a mountain is higher than a mountain." "It's the eternal truth!"
Well, a paragraph of "Single Knife Li Zhi Breaking iron sand palm" is finished, this matter is not a fabrication, in Shenxian and Raoyang areas have been circulated so far, "big lion" is also from the mouth of the older generation of this paragraph, simply written down, solo music is not as good as public music, Quan should give to friends to relieve boredom.
