Dream about the world of martial arts

() Zhou Botong was exhausted, and began to discuss with Meng Xunzhen how to deal with the bet with Huang Yaoshi.

Meng Xunzhen asked: "Uncle Master, how has his martial arts progressed these years, is there no hope of defeating Huang Island Master?"

Zhou Botong spread his hands and said: "Although I have nothing to distract in this cave, I can concentrate on practicing, and 15 years is worth the 25 years of other people's entry, but Huang Laoxie is not idle, after all, he is slightly better than me. Unless I can make a major breakthrough within these ten days, this bet is lost." Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, jumped up and said, "Little Martial Nephew, just now when I tried your martial arts, You used a very weird boxing technique. This boxing technique is quite similar to the "Kongmingquan" created by me in the cave for 15 years, but there is something more. You use this boxing technique to give Let me see, if I can realize something from it to further improve my 'Kongming Fist', maybe I can fight Huang Laoxie."

One of the purposes of Meng Xunzhen's coming to Peach Blossom Island was to "borrow chickens to lay eggs", and wanted to invite this martial arts genius to help him comprehend "Tai Chi".Hearing his own suggestion now, he couldn't figure it out, so he immediately smiled and said, "This way of boxing is called 'Tai Chi', and it was realized by the disciples from the Tai Chi principle of the Taoist yin and yang. , this style of boxing has not yet been perfected. Since the uncle wanted to see it, the disciple came to practice it."

As he spoke, he walked out of the cave, and stood still on the open space at the entrance of the cave, with his hands drooping, the backs of his hands outward, his fingers slightly stretched, his feet parallel to each other, and then his arms were slowly raised to his chest, his left arm half-circled, his palms and his face forming a Yin palm, right palm turned over Chengyang palm, and said: "This is the starting posture of Taijiquan." Followed by one move after another, the name of the move was called out in the mouth: grabbing the bird's tail, single whip, lifting Hand gestures, white cranes spreading their wings, cuddling knees and hooking steps, waving a pipa, stepping forward and moving a hammer, closing like a seal, crossing hands, hugging a tiger back to the mountain... about a meal time, make a step up to explore the horse, step up Grab the sparrow's tail step by step, practice Tai Chi with a single whip, and stand on the ground calmly,

Meng Xunzhen turned to Zhou Bodao who was watching intently after closing his momentum: "Master, the secret of this boxing technique is the sixteen characters of 'the spirit is strong, the chest is straight and the back is straight, the waist is loose and the buttocks are loose, the shoulders are sinking and the elbows are'." , to act purely with the mind, and it is most forbidden to use force. The unity of form and spirit is the gist of this way of boxing. When performing boxing, one should keep in mind the principle of Taiji circles. Every move must be continuous, like the Yangtze River, surging Endless. My disciples have never been able to master the principle of 'yin and yang are born together, and circles are endless', so they have never been able to deduce and perfect this way of boxing."

"Yin and yang are born together, and the circle is endless..." Zhou Botong chewed these two sentences repeatedly, and the scene of yin and yang changing and circles in the Taiji diagram also appeared in his mind, and he felt that it was infinitely mysterious and hidden endless mysteries.

He murmured and gestured with his hands.This old urchin's talent in martial arts is truly astonishing, he only saw Meng Xunzhen use a boxing technique once, and he memorized the changes in the moves.Moreover, this way of Taijiquan is performed in his hands, which is even more dexterous than Meng Xunzhen, the instigator, and he has faintly obtained the samadhi.When he gestured to a "single whip", he slammed his arm down in the air, and unconsciously used strength, and his whole arm was like an invincible steel whip, lashing heavily on a rock beside him, knocking the stone Beat it to pieces.

"I see, that's how it is!" Zhou Botong suddenly had an ecstatic look of realization on his face, and said with a long smile, "It is said that the old yin breeds the young yin, and the old yin breeds the young yang. Evolve yin and soft changes, and yin and soft kung fu has been practiced to the extreme, but also evolve into a strong way, this is the way of yin and yang. My "Kong Ming Quan" blindly emphasizes the words "empty and soft" , thinking that this is the highest state of 'the highest kindness is like water'. But they forget that the most soft water can also be turned into ten thousand years of cold ice and a thousand feet of waterfall, so why is it not the most rigid and fierce thing in the world?"

Speaking of this, he changed the way of his upper hand and began to practice the 72-hand "Kongming Fist" created by himself.Every move he made was as airy and soft as a feather; but every punch and palm was wrapped in an extremely strong wind, shaking the top of the cave and the dust and gravel on the cave wall. Falling down, the strength is strong, and it is as heavy as a mountain.

Meng Xunzhen saw the evolution of his fist, and there seemed to be an empty and clear stream in front of his eyes, flowing slowly according to the natural force of heaven and earth, and under this seemingly gentle and gentle stream, there were countless undercurrents, eddies, and hidden reefs. The end is murderous.

Zhou Botong finished the last step of "Kong Ming Fist" "Picking water with an empty basket", and lightly hit the stone wall on the left with his palm, with all the strength of his palm, he made a deep palm print on the rock like a knife carving.He raised his palm in disbelief, looked left and right, and finally believed that the palm print on the cave wall was his own masterpiece, and said with great joy: "Little nephew, with the inspiration of your set of 'Tai Chi', I have come to understand The way of being kind and soft like water, and the self-created 'Kongming Fist' has finally come to fruition. Now if I fight Huang Laoxie again, even if I can't win, I can still draw with him."

From comprehending the essence of Taijiquan to deriving and perfecting Kongmingquan, it took only an hour.This gentleman's talent in martial arts is really breathtaking.

"What a pity, what a pity!" Meng Xunzhen shook his head suddenly and sighed a few times.

Zhou Botong was taken aback, and asked: "Little Martial Nephew, you say it's a pity, do you see some omissions in my boxing technique?"

"I don't mean that." Meng Xunzhen waved his hand and said, "It's just a whim just now. My disciple's 'Taijiquan' and my uncle's 'Kongmingquan' are both Taoist unique skills that use softness to overcome rigidity, but I don't know which one is better. Inferior? I just hate that my disciples haven't grasped the essence of Taijiquan, so they can't use it to confirm a thing or two with their uncle."

"It turns out that this is what you're sorry about, and it's so easy!" Zhou Botong laughed, "The master uncle has already learned these two sets of boxing, so I will use these two sets of boxing to fight against myself. Whose self-created boxing method is more powerful!"

"Are you fighting with yourself?" Meng Xunzhen asked pretending to be confused.

Zhou Botong seemed to be showing off to others that he had a very fun toy. He was very proud, and said with a smile: "For 15 years, I have practiced martial arts day and night, and I feel that my martial arts have made great progress. It's just that no one will dismantle my moves. , I came up with a fight with myself.”

Meng Xunzhen was surprised and asked, "How did you fight with yourself?"

"It's very simple," said Zhou Botong, "I usually pretend that my right hand is Huang Laoxie and my left hand is an old naughty boy. I hit him with a palm with my right hand, and then punched me with my left hand. Now I pretend to be an old urchin with my right hand. It's you, using 'Tai Chi', and the left hand is an old naughty boy, using 'Kongming Boxing', you can see clearly!"

As he spoke, he swung his left hand lightly, which is the "empty bowl to fill rice" in the "Kong Mingquan", but he swung his right hand obliquely, which is the "hand waving pipa" in "Tai Chi". ", the hands fought fiercely with one attack and one defense.

Meng Xunzhen looked at the moves and felt that Zhou Botong's "left and right fighting" kung fu created by Zhou Botong was really weird and mysterious to the extreme.People who study martial arts all over the world, whether they swing fists, palms, knives or guns, they are either attacking the enemy or defending themselves, but Zhou Botong's hands are attacking and dismantling each other. The moves coming from the other hand, so the moves of the upper and left hands are completely separated, which is really incredible.No wonder that in the era of "Sculpture of Gods", when Huashan Jueding appraised the new five unique "East evil, Xikuang, Nanseng, Beixia, and middle naughty boy", everyone convinced him that the old naughty boy was the leader.In the case of similar cultivation levels, he is slightly better than everyone else with this set of kung fu of turning one into two and attacking with two bodies - this is because he has not practiced a sword similar to the "Jade Girl Suxin Sword" In the case of joint strikes such as "Fa".

Seeing Zhou Botong's "battle" between his left hand and right hand was getting more and more intense, Meng Xunzhen secretly thought that the time had come, so he called out: "Master Uncle, I suddenly thought of something!"

Zhou Botong stopped his hands and asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng Xunzhen said: "Your hands have completely different fist moves, isn't it like two people making their own moves? When facing an enemy, if you use this set of kung fu, it will be two against one, this kung fu It is very useful. Although the internal strength cannot be doubled, the tricks always take a big advantage."

Zhou Botong was stunned for a moment, he only came up with this set of hands-to-hand fighting thing because he was bored sitting in the cave for a long time. Suddenly realized that this kung fu is actually a wonderful stunt to defeat the enemy.He thought through this set of kung fu from beginning to end in his mind, and suddenly jumped out of the cave that had trapped him for 15 years, and walked around the entrance of the cave, laughing endlessly.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Meng Xunzhen asked from the side.

"Oh, it's okay... no, it's okay, and it's a very good thing!" Zhou Botong laughed loudly, "Little Martial Nephew, you can wake up the dreamer with one sentence, so it turns out that this kung fu has such a wonderful effect! At this moment, my old urchin It is the best martial arts in the world. Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei, I can draw with them only with the "Kongming Fist" after Dacheng. With two against one, hehe, who among them can beat two old urchins? Ha, I will definitely win the battle with Huang Laoxie in ten days' time. Little nephew, how do you think I should take revenge on Huang Laoxie? Lao Xie, should I pluck his beard, or kick his ass?"

He was chattering and laughing at the same time, really overjoyed.

In the evening, Huang Yaoshi sent a deaf-mute servant from the island to deliver meals to the two, because there was an extra person, Meng Xunzhen, who was almost an old friend, the meals delivered this time not only doubled the portion, but also had more varieties. Quite a lot, and there was an extra jar of fine wine.

Zhou Botong was overjoyed, he took Meng Xunzhen to eat together, and said while eating: "Huang Laoxie did a good job, he trapped me in the cave, but he was not hungry and forced me, and of course he would not eat and drink The poison was just trying to lure me out of the hole. I went out to defecate and urinate, and he didn't take advantage of it. For this, I decided not to pluck his beard after ten days, but to kick his butt twice That's right!"

After giggling for a while, he said again: "Little Martial Nephew, this time it's all up to you and me, the old urchin, to get out of trouble. As a Martial Uncle, I will never treat you badly. If I ignore you these few days, I will realize it myself." The essence of Taijiquan and the kung fu of "Kongming Quan" and "Left and Right Fighting" will be passed on to you. Hee hee, when you can also master "Left and Right Fighting", let's play the game of "Four Kingdoms Chaos War" together !"
