The "Complete Biography of Water Margin" records: "Punch the Nanshan tiger and kick the North Sea Dragon." "In modern China, many martial arts masters have been born, and they have stepped forward when the country is in danger and fought with one punch and one kick to Chinese integrity, which is a feat that no one can erase." However, since ancient times, China has had the saying that "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second", and in the field of martial arts, there is naturally a distinction between high and low. Among them, the "sharpshooter" Li Shuwen is a well-deserved martial arts master, he has not met an opponent in 40 years of walking the rivers and lakes, and the only person he admires in this life is the grand marshal Zhang Zuolin.
Li Shuwen, born in 1862 in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, has been practicing Eight Pole Quan for 3 years under Zhang Jingxing, a descendant of the Eight Poles, since he was a child. However, although Li Shuwen's Eight Pole Quan was good, it was not really a martial art suitable for him, and after Master Huang Shihai noticed his characteristics, he immediately took him under his wing and taught him to practice the big gun. The big gun is a kind of cold weapon, not only long and heavy, but also very expensive, so all along, few people are willing to learn the big gun, they are worried about leaving a hidden disease without hesitation, which will have an irreversible impact on future wives and children.
However, the big gun is an extremely strong kung fu, although the moves are relatively simple, there is no fancy action, but the strength is very large, the attack is strong, and the person who can flexibly use the big gun is almost difficult to meet the opponent. Because of this, Li Shuwen was asked to go by Huang Shihai, who was talented, infinitely powerful, and at the same time diligent and hardworking, and was a good seedling for practicing the big gun. Therefore, after 6 years of careful teaching by Huang Shihai, Li Shuwen's marksmanship was finally completed, and unconsciously, the big gun in his hand could already be like an arm.
Of course, the reason why Li Shuwen will repair the big gun to Dacheng within 6 years, in addition to the guidance of a famous teacher, is also inseparable from his personal diligent study and hard work. While practicing marksmanship, he also practiced the Yi Jian Jing and the Forging Bone Sutra, which were both to increase strength and cultivate internal strength. A few years later, the sandbags he practiced had been adjusted from 50 pounds to 300 pounds, and some thick jujube and locust trees in front of the house were also shocked to death by his fists and feet. According to the "Cangxian Chronicle", Li Shuwen "slapped the air in a row, five feet away from the window, and wore paper to vibrate with sound; he stabbed the fly on the wall with a big gun, and the fly fell without a trace on the wall." It can be seen from this that Li Shuwen's kung fu has reached the realm of divination and perfection.
In 1895, Yuan Shikai trained troops at a small station on the southern outskirts of Tianjin, and Li Shuwen carried a large gun to represent the division. Unexpectedly, the thin Li Shuwen was ridiculed by Itotaro, the martial arts instructor of Yuan Shikai's guards, and Li Shuwen did not say a word, and immediately stabbed the big gun with lightning speed. Ito was furious, and when he saw Li Shuwen move, he also used all his strength to split a knife. However, Li Shuwen's big gun was not so easy to defend, he shook it slightly, Ito's big knife collapsed and flew out, taking this opportunity, Li Shuwen used a "loach turning flower", instantly pierced Ito's throat and threw it out of the martial arts hall.
Ito was killed, and the other three Japanese martial arts masters, Akino, Inoue, and Noda, could not sit still, and they joined forces, intending to pay for their lives. However, Li Shuwen smiled contemptuously, and within a few rounds, he threw 3 people out of the hall in succession, seeing that he could not live. At the age of 56, Li Shuwen was invited by Zhang Zuolin, the Grand Marshal of Fengtian, and the Japanese martial arts instructor Okamoto proposed a contest, and the winner stayed, and the loser automatically left. In order not to hurt the peace, Zhang Zuolin stressed that the two sides must point to the end, he did not want Li Shuwen to be hurt, nor did he want to offend the Japanese.
Seeing that Zhang Zuolin thought so thoughtfully, Li Shuwen also secretly admired it, but he did not expect that this half-buried old guy still had someone to worry about, which was really not easy. Therefore, Li Shuwen deliberately left a hand during the competition, he only broke Okamoto's shoulder blade, and did not kill him. Since his debut, Li Shuwen has walked the rivers and lakes for 40 years, not only has not tasted defeat, but also defeated many martial arts masters at home and abroad, and to this day, Japanese people remember his name.
