After the eight horses became famous, they became famous in martial arts and different arts, especially the catching horses in Shandong alone, which is a legend and is respected and worshipped by martial arts people in the world. The term
ringing horse originated from Shandong. It is said that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the bandits in Shandong have hung bells around their horses’ necks. The horses ran and the bells were very loud, so the bandits were called ringing horses. There is also a saying that they are used to ringing arrows to warn them before taking action and often ride on horseback. , So it is called ringing horse. There have been many peasant uprisings in the history of Shandong, and some people have called the ringing horse synonymous with heroes. When the raging horses are rampant, there are also many rules such as "ten no robbing", "five no robbing" and so on. The so-called ten no robbing refers to not robbing "happy chariots, Buddhist monks, doctors, gamblers, car shops, Ferrymen, night walkers, widows and widows, lonely people, picking eight-strand ropes, postmen". The five non-criteria are "no adultery, no robbing of the poor, no entry into the room of a pregnant woman, no move to a married couple, no way of taking the road blocked by pigs". Robbing the rich and helping the poor is often the slogan of the ringing horse. Therefore, corrupt officials, the rich and unkind, and the rich and the rich are often the primary targets of the ringing horse robbery.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the society was turbulent and the horses were rampant! There are frequent robberies from Shandong horses from Taihang Mountain into large families in Wuxiang County! These ringing horses are often superb martial arts, robbery with open fire, and the government has sent troops to arrest many times to no avail, which makes the wealthy people nervous and helpless the government. At this time, someone suggested to the government to ask the martial arts master Ma Bazhe of Wuxiang to come out and catch the ringing horse.
The brutality of Shandong ringing horses in Wuxiang also aroused the blood of Ma Bazhe, and he decisively accepted the government's invitation to capture the ringing horses.
was being robbed of a large family. There were two ringers with superb martial arts and quickly fled after the robbery!
Ma Bazhe traced all the way to a mountain village in Xia Licheng County, Taihang. At this time, the ringing horse also learned that the Ma Bazhe had been ordered to capture them, and that he was photographed by the name of the Ma Bazhe. Ma Bazhe and his daughter Tiegu tracked all the way to the village. When they visited a cave dwelling, as soon as they entered the door, the ringing horse saw that the Ma Bazhe had arrived. They seized the window and fled from the house. Ma Bazhe released his magic whip and caught the ringing horse. One, the other ringing horse head escaped by chance and disappeared without a trace.
Ma Bazhe is determined to go to Shandong alone to capture the ringing horse and bring him to justice. After investigating unannounced visits and following the vines, he finally reached the nest of the ringing horse. The
Xiangma’s Lair is located in a hidden underground somewhere in Shandong. The ground is camouflaged and unknown to the world. Xiangma Base Camp is a large underground building, complete with gathering halls, bedrooms, kitchens, and even martial arts grounds. Ma Bazhe searched for this, reported the name of the rivers and lakes, and whispered to the rivers and lakes, the crowds knew that the Ma Bazhe had arrived, not only did not hesitate, but also took the Ma Bazhe into the Juyi Hall.
Ma Bazhe turned left and was taken to the Juyi Hall to give a small Mazha. At this time, dozens of sheepskin carpets were laid on the floor of the hall, and various cold weapons were hung on a weapon rack on one side of the wall. Ten large bowls of lard lamps brightened the living room.
sits on a solid wood chair in the center, a middle-aged man with a sturdy back and waist, who exudes the breath of a martial arts expert. He looks at Ma Bazhe with a disdainful expression on his face. The master of ringing horses. In his lower left hand, he sat and ran away, the ringleader, as if he was a young master. On a table of the Eight Immortals, there are seven or eight big men sitting on the table, and it is the ringmasters who are drinking and having fun.
Seeing the ferocious and arrogant style of this group of ringing horses, Ma Bazhe's heart sank, this group is really not in vain. The fierce eyes of the people on the table pressed against Ma Bazhe, each holding a shiny dagger in his hand, and the dagger was pierced with barbecue, and the cold light was compelling. The people on the table didn't ask a word, murderous, and the ringing horse was showing off the horse power!
Seeing this, he did not speak, put the pewter rod aside, and took out a burning red charcoal block from the charcoal fire with his bare hands. Pulled the trouser legs, put the charcoal block directly on the thigh, and took out the dry pipe. Just stick with the charcoal block and suck up the dry smoke. When the ringing horses saw this, they were taken aback, knowing that they had met a martial arts master. In that era when the strong was respected, the master hurriedly invited the horses to take a seat at the banquet.
Just as Ma Bazhe took his seat calmly, the young master who had previously robbed him preemptively said, "Master Ma, please eat meat!" Two eyes were pressed against Ma Bazhe, and he daggered a piece of meat and pressed hard at Ma Bazhe’s face. The door stabs. Ma Bazhe was not afraid of danger, did not dodge or dodge, and bit the dagger in his mouth with one mouth. The young master uses force to twitch the dagger, and the dagger does not move at all. Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the master yelled "not rude"! With a bite, the dagger broke. At this point, the ringing horses were dumbfounded and convinced, no more fighting! After
meticulously entertained Ma Bazhe, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, Xiangma Da was in charge of the house, and Ma Bazhe escorted his son to justice.
The eight horses went to Shandong to capture the ringing horses single-handedly. Not only did they effectively deter the ringing horses, but also maintained the social stability of Wuxiang at that time. It became a martial arts story. It has been passed down from mouth to mouth among the martial arts and the local people, and it has become a martial arts history An immortal legend!
