Chapter 1604 [1604] Bruce Lee’s martial arts manuscript?
The next morning, Ye Feng took Zhuang Xiaoqiao out again, their destination being near Chinatown in Seattle.
"What are you still doing here?" Zhuang Xiaoqiao was confused.
Ye Feng said mysteriously: "My intuition tells me that there is a treasure here."
"Intuition?" Zhuang Xiaoqiao rolled his eyes.
Ye Feng gave her a very mysterious feeling. Compared to any treasure, she was more curious about Ye Feng now.
The two men walked to a row of commercial buildings and stopped. When they got here, the feeling of depth became stronger.
The baby is in one of the commercial rooms!
Although deep detection can detect more deeply what treasures are inside, Ye Feng did not choose to receive this information, because what he wanted was the strong curiosity of not knowing the answer. Once the answer was revealed in advance, it would be a bit boring.
There was a rental advertisement and contact number posted outside the storefront. Ye Feng dialed the number and told the landlord directly that he wanted to rent the house for one month.
When the landlord heard that the lease was only for one month, he was reluctant to come. However, Ye Feng directly offered a high price of 20000 magnesium knives. The other party was very tempted and came in a hurry.
According to the homeowner, this commercial building was previously rented to an old man who repaired watches, but later the old man disappeared inexplicably, as if he had evaporated from the earth, and took away everything in his shop with him, leaving only some useless sundries that are now piled up in the house.
The homeowner was unwilling to bear the cost of immediate garbage removal, so he asked Ye Feng to clean up the debris in the room.
Ye Feng had no objection to this. After all, the treasure was most likely among those sundries. If the owner of the house had cleared them out, what treasure was he still looking for?
Ye Feng paid the money, and the landlord took the money and left with a smile on his face.
Ye Feng then began to search among the sundries and pulled out a small suitcase.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao chewed on the worn-out suitcase and asked suspiciously, "Is this the treasure you mentioned?"
"The treasure is inside." Ye Feng opened the suitcase, revealing a thick stack of notebooks inside.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao picked up a notebook, flipped through it, and pouted, "Which great philosopher wrote this? It's too obscure!"
"Let me see." Ye Feng took the notebook from her hand.
The notebook was all written in English, but Ye Feng was proficient in eight languages, so he had no difficulty reading it. It was just that some of the handwriting was blurred, making it a little difficult to read.
The more Ye Feng read, the more familiar the words in the notebook seemed to him, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
It was not until he read the last sentence on the first page, "Be -water- my- friends", that Ye Feng suddenly realized. Isn't this a classic quote from Bruce Lee, the master of Wing Chun?
He once said these words in a talk show in the United States. This long passage fully expressed his martial arts thoughts?
Could this notebook be left by Bruce Lee?
Ye Feng flipped through the pages in disbelief. The content at the back was no longer some words on martial arts philosophy, but an in-depth analysis of martial arts and a person's experience in practicing boxing.
Ye Feng quickly read the contents of the notebook, which also recorded a person's experience in practicing martial arts. In addition, there were words like "Jun-Fan Kung Fu" in the book, which fully demonstrated that these were some of Bruce Lee's experiences before he founded Jeet Kune Do.
Ye Feng had a deep impression of this. Bruce Lee started teaching Chinese Kung Fu to foreigners in the United States by opening the Jun Fan Kung Fu Institute in a basement in Seattle's Chinatown. Looking at the other notebooks, they were all related to martial arts without exception.
There are six notebooks in total here, and the most important one is the last one!
Anyone who studies martial arts knows that Grandmaster Bruce Lee founded Jeet Kune Do in the last few years of his life. He had a complete set of theories, but the training system was not perfect. In other words, the Jeet Kune Do at that time was not the mature Jeet Kune Do that Bruce Lee developed.
The handwriting on the last notebook is obviously clearer than that on the other notebooks, which indicates that this notebook was written by Bruce Lee later.
The previous five notebooks contained more of Bruce Lee's understanding and development of martial arts in different periods, while the sixth notebook contained Bruce Lee's conception on the development of Jeet Kune Do, a Jeet Kune Do that fully conforms to his martial arts philosophy and has a mature training system.
Ye Feng immediately activated the deep detection system to identify and assess the value of the six notebooks in his hand.
"Identification result: Bruce Lee's martial arts manuscript, which records in detail the early stage of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, is worth 10 million!"
"Identification result: Bruce Lee's martial arts manuscript, which records in detail the evolution of Bruce Lee's 'Jun Fan Kung Fu' during his time in Seattle, worth 10 million."
"Identification result: Bruce Lee's martial arts manuscript records in detail the master's mature martial arts structure for Jeet Kune Do. It can fill the gap in the current Jeet Kune Do training system and is worth no less than 50 million."
The system gave an appraisal result. The value of the first five notebooks was all 10 million. However, because the sixth notebook was too important, the system only gave an appraisal of no less than 50 million. In other words, its value might be higher.
Ye Feng's expression was a little uneasy at this time. He himself was a martial arts master and knew very well what these manuscripts meant.
Bruce Lee not only wrote the word "Kung Fu" into the English dictionary, but also changed Americans' perception of the image of "Fu Manchu". He has countless fans all over the world.
For example, Prince Anjou of the British Empire, such a big figure, was a fan of Bruce Lee.
After Bruce Lee passed away, his wife and student Gilbert Johnson sorted out and published most of his martial arts manuscripts. The contents of the first five notebooks have basically appeared in his previous works.
Only the contents of the sixth notebook have never been seen until now, and perhaps even his wife doesn't know about it.
Seeing him laughing like an idiot, Zhuang Xiaoqiao kicked him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, look at your behavior. It's just a few broken notebooks. Are you so happy about it?"
"Broken notebook?"
Ye Feng's eyes widened: "This is Bruce Lee's martial arts manuscript!"
Zhuang Xiaoqiao blinked her big watery eyes and said, "Bruce Lee's martial arts manuscript? Is it valuable?"
"Just these six notebooks are worth at least 100 million!" Ye Feng said excitedly.
"One hundred million?"
Zhuang Xiaoqiao's mouth opened into an O shape: "Is it true? Is it so valuable?"
Ye Feng carefully put away the notebook and looked at Zhuang Xiaoqiao suspiciously: "Don't you know who Bruce Lee is?"
