Chapter 938 Modern Fighting, Chinese Martial Arts and Kung Fu
Apart from Yang Lianting's status as a male favorite, his status as the chief steward of the Sun and Moon Sect still brought Su Yi great convenience.
As soon as he stood up, two of his subordinates immediately came forward and knelt down: "General steward Wan'an, what do you want?"
"Take me to the library!" Su Yi ordered calmly.
Having acted for so long, he would not be nervous about anything now.
He didn't even need to deliberately understand and imitate, he could handle any role properly and with ease.
"Yes! I obey the order of the chief steward, please condescend to move!" The two subordinates took Su Yi out of Chengde Hall, and all the way, the subordinates holding swords, spears, and halberds on both sides saluted and greeted him.
Su Yi was used to big scenes, and he had been in a high position for a long time. Facing such a situation, he was calm and composed, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
The library was not far from Chengde Hall, and it was just a few iron gates away.
When we arrived at the gate, the two elders who were guarding the pavilion had already greeted us at the gate. They bowed and said, "I, Qin Weibang and Mo Qingning, pay my respects to the chief steward. May the Holy Master unify the martial arts world forever!"
Su Yi had the information. These two people were two of the ten elders of the Demon Sect. The one with a long face was Qin Weibang, and the one with triangular eyes was Mo Qingning. Both of them were good at martial arts.
How good were their martial arts?
In any case, Su Yi stood in front of the two people, and felt his hair stand up, as if he had seen two wild beasts, and he was uneasy.
These two elders were both white-haired and youthful, with ruddy complexions and high bulging temples. They looked like masters at first glance.
The internal martial arts standing practice is the skill of moving qi and blood, and the qi and blood are extremely sensitive, especially for masters like Su Yi.
In his eyes, the qi and blood of the two old men in front of him were like a blazing furnace, so he dared not approach.
Is this the effect of internal force?
Su Yi was surprised.
However, the ordinary followers who came along all had martial arts skills, and they should also have internal strength, but they did not give Su Yi this feeling.
This shows that only masters can bring threats to Su Yi, and ordinary martial artists should not pose a threat to a national martial arts master like Su Yi, even if they have internal strength.
This is also within Su Yi's expectations. He will not belittle himself and think that his kung fu, which he has practiced for a long time and reached perfection, will be worthless in the world of martial arts.
On the contrary, he believes that if he wants to practice internal and light skills, it will be much easier than ordinary people.
Even if the martial arts are high, the two elders have to bow their heads in front of him, a general manager who has no martial arts skills. This is power.
Behind Yang Lianting stands Dongfang Bubai, who represents the highest authority of the Sun and Moon Sect. How can the two elders disrespect him? How dare they not be afraid?
But it is conceivable that they must be unconvinced and unhappy in their hearts.
Any capable person cannot stand the treacherous villains who are ignorant and incompetent jumping over his head. This truth is irrefutable in any era.
This is a hidden danger for Su Yi.
But now, Su Yi has no intention of changing his attitude or making up for the loss.
He nodded lightly and ordered: "Open the library, I want to go in and inspect."
"Yes!" The two elders hurriedly responded, each took out a key and turned the two locks on the door at the same time.
Creak...
The long-sealed door slowly opened, and a rotten dust blew in, making Su Yi frown.
It seems that this place has not been cleaned for a long time.
Mo Qingning smiled and said: "General Manager, no one has entered the library for three years. There may be some inside..."
"No problem!" Su Yi waved his hand and walked in with his hands behind his back.
The guards who came with him were not qualified to enter, so they had to guard outside the door.
The two elders hurriedly clasped their fists until Su Yi's back disappeared in the door.
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Qin Weibang frowned and said, "Why did this guy suddenly come to the library? What's wrong with him? Is he here to cause trouble?"
"He has never liked martial arts. I'm afraid he has other purposes for coming here rashly." Mo Qingning looked solemn, "Did he not pay enough tribute this month?"
"I just said to pay respects more often..." Qin Weibang complained, and the two stopped talking.
But they looked inside from time to time, and they were all uneasy.
Su Yi entered the library and realized what Yang Lianting's identity meant.
The two-story library was filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelves were full of various martial arts secrets!
Fists, acupuncture, eighteen kinds of weapons, internal strength, light skills...
Various categories, major sects, from low to high, classified and neatly arranged!
As expected of a large sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years, with just this room of heritage, if some of it is distributed, hundreds of sects can be formed long ago!
But now, these martial arts secrets are all in the warehouse, gathering dust.
There are not only martial arts looted from various sects, but also unique skills passed down by senior elders and hall masters of all generations, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Kunlun, Dong, Emei, Qingcheng...
Even some unique martial arts of Shaolin and Wudang, all here!
He even saw two unique skills of Tian Boguang here - Kuangfeng Sword Skill and Qinggong Daocai Sandieyun.
Awesome!
Even though Su Yi has always been calm, he couldn't help but get excited at this moment.
Just for the density of this room, it's worth sacrificing some color!
What's the big deal?
Isn't it just a stinky skin?
Su Yi browsed all the way and was dazzled.
There are many martial arts that made him excited and wanted to practice them.
But he held back.
He opened and read all the secrets that excited him. Not to mention, because he had a foundation in Chinese martial arts, he could understand all of them.
At least he understood the principles of martial arts at once.
What is modern fighting?
It is a scientific force and striking technique, combined with various factors such as training and tactics, to form a systematic and scientific theoretical system.
In short, modern fighting is the scientific application of fighting technology.
The greatest role of modern fighting is to simplify the complex, remove the dross and retain the essence, making the fighting technology very pure.
The white ape turned around and became a simple and clear "back kick"; the window to look at the moon and the cloud shuttle were no longer there, and became a simple combination of hooks and swings.
These are things that people can understand at a glance, and then use the most scientific method to teach you how to use this thing, how to hit quickly, accurately, and fiercely.
This is modern fighting.
If extended to grappling and weapons, there are also standard technical points.
As long as you master these technical points and practice diligently, you can become a fighting master.
But is modern fighting the most advanced martial arts?
Not really.
Modern fighting is just the most utilitarian martial arts.
It goes from one extreme to another. Sometimes extreme simplicity is not necessarily good, because when you simplify, you may also "remove the dross and keep the essence" of many essential things.
What is the essence of modern fighting?
Three words - fast, accurate, and ruthless!
The core of modern fighting is the word "fight".
But for traditional martial arts, this is not the case.
Putting aside those really unnecessary dross, some things in traditional martial arts must be preserved, such as standing.
If you don't stand in a stance, you have not laid the foundation for this set of boxing, because the foundation of a set of boxing lies in standing in a stance. Only when you know how to stand in a stance, you will know how to use strength, whole strength, hidden strength, terminal strength, wrapped strength, flipping strength, shaking strength, inch strength...
There are different ways to exert strength for various kinds of strength, and these different ways of exerting strength all require different stances to exert.
For example, if you stand in the three-body stance of Xingyi, you will never be able to perform the body-moving step and palm-changing of Bagua; if you stand in the plum blossom stance, how can you exert the inch strength of Wing Chun?
What if you don't stand in a stance?
If you don't stand in a stance, you will only use brute force, which has nothing to do with strength.
Learning traditional martial arts is like this. You see a person fighting in a very good and vigorous manner, but these moves and routines cannot explain anything. If you want to see whether he has mastered martial arts, you have to see him standing in a stance and see how he uses strength.
But the traditional martial arts' stance and power-generating methods have been simplified by modern fighting, because the scientific power-generating methods of modern fighting are completely different from stance and power-generating methods.
The two are similar, but different, so one must replace the other.
The training methods of modern fighting are more efficient, so the stance and power-generating methods of traditional martial arts have been replaced.
Without stance and power-generating methods, what is left of traditional martial arts?
Moves? Routines?
These things are more in conflict with the modern fighting concept.
Modern fighting emphasizes defeating the enemy with one strike.
But what about traditional martial arts?
Traditional martial arts want to express humanity, thoughts, connotations, etc. in every move and form. It is obviously a very simple X=1, but they have to list a very complicated equation.
The four movements of the White Crane Spreading Wings imitate the white crane spreading its wings, and also want to express the roundness and harmony of Tai Chi, and also emphasize the integration of attack and defense.
It is obviously a move to deal with the attack of double fists or double palms, but they want to say a hundred names.
In modern fighting, it is not that complicated. You just have to dodge or block, and then counterattack.
But can you say that White Crane Spreads Its Wings is not good?
Flower Hidden Under the Leaves is more complicated. Can you say that Flower Hidden Under the Leaves is not good?
Traditional martial arts are mostly implicit, real and fake, true and false. Maybe a hundred moves are useless, but the 101st move is the essence, the killer move that you can't defend against at all.
The artistic content of this move is extremely high.
But will modern fighting give you the opportunity to use 101 moves?
No!
Not to mention 101 moves, if possible, you won't even have the chance to use the second move!
So traditional martial arts and modern fighting are also in conflict in terms of fighting methods and moves.
But does the complexity of traditional martial arts mean that it cannot be used?
Not really. The real masters of traditional martial arts and the real way of using strength will make those who fight modern martial arts feel uncomfortable.
Let's take White Crane Spreads Its Wings as an example.
When a combination of modern fighting punches comes, Tai Chi masters use White Crane Spreads Its Wings to resolve it.
If you are a so-called master who has not stood properly and only knows how to perform, even if you can block the opponent's combination when you use White Crane Spreading Wings, the opponent will immediately change his moves in the next second, and the storm-like attack will follow.
And what can you do? You have only done one move of White Crane Spreading Wings, and there are still three moves to be completed.
Is it still called White Crane Spreading Wings after doing one move?
How to connect with other moves later? If these problems cannot be solved, won't you be beaten into a pig's head by the opponent's electric cannon?
But the real Tai Chi master uses White Crane Spreading Wings differently. This move uses the Tai Chi standing posture to exert round power, and with a push and a pull, the opponent will be led by you as long as he touches your arm and feet, and follow your rhythm. You don't have to think about the next three moves at all, and they will naturally come into play and be used naturally.
Of course, you can use it, but who is better or worse depends on personal ability.
Traditional martial arts can definitely fight, but you must use the traditional martial arts way of moving force.
It's a pity that traditional martial arts are slow to practice, inefficient in hitting people, difficult to practice, and often have no place to use them after practice. In addition, there are too many half-baked people, and their reputation is too bad, so they are castrated by others, so they are eliminated.
But when traditional martial arts are practiced to the master level, all kinds of disadvantages are gone.
Slow efficiency? Can't fight?
Not true, when you reach the master level, traditional martial arts will radiate real charm and vitality.
It's a pity, how many people can become masters?
If Su Yi hadn't practiced both modern fighting and traditional martial arts, promoted and achieved each other, integrated and unified, and kept honing in life and death, it would not be so easy for him to become a master.
Modern fighting usually kills people with one punch because of great strength, but does traditional martial arts kill people with one palm because of great strength?
No.
It's because of good movement of force.
But what is the matter with movement of force?
Scientifically speaking, there are some lever principles similar to force, so the killer moves of traditional martial arts are often light and powerful.
But in the terminology of traditional martial arts, the use of strength is to move qi and blood.
With the trend of blood circulation and breath flow, the strength of the whole body is exerted on one point at the moment of hitting. This is almost the principle of using strength.
Su Yi is now in this state. Every move and every style he makes is to mobilize the qi and blood of the whole body to fight, which is also called "whole strength".
This is something that modern fighting cannot do. Modern fighting does not have the concept of whole strength. It divides the way of exerting force into many areas and different methods, claiming to be more scientific, more efficient, and more "energy-saving".
Moreover, the concept of modern fighting cannot make you mobilize all your strength to fight every time. You have to save some strength to fight.
How much strength the qi and blood exert depends on how strong your body is and how abundant the qi and blood are.
Su Yi's body, which has been tempered by modern scientific training methods, is naturally very vigorous in qi and blood, far exceeding that of ordinary masters.
Moreover, the bones and muscles of his torso and limbs are very developed, which makes his energy more abundant and his strength stronger, producing an effect of one plus one being far greater than two.
But the power of qi and blood is limited after all. After all, no matter how strong a person's body is, the strength of blood, flesh and internal organs is also limited.
So the upper limit of traditional martial arts is the master.
There is no such thing as Gangjin, Baodan, and Jianshenbuba. At least, according to Su Yi's current knowledge, these realms do not exist.
Because the core idea of all internal martial arts is to teach people how to use these qi and blood, whether it is sitting, standing, or walking, it is to better move qi and blood.
The core of traditional martial arts lies in the word "yun".
It is a way to use one's own qi and blood to hit people.
So what about martial arts?
This is amazing. Traditional martial arts use qi and blood, but it is only the most superficial use. Even if Su Yi is a master, he only knows qi and blood and can sense qi and blood.
But qi and blood are stored in the body, invisible and intangible, like looking at the moon in the water and seeing flowers in the fog.
But the inner strength in martial arts is a technique that allows you to truly feel the qi and blood, stimulate the qi and blood, refine the qi and blood, and directly and accurately control and use the qi and blood!
The core of the inner strength lies in the word "practice"!
Extract the qi and blood specifically used to hit people from the qi and blood in your body!
This kind of qi and blood specifically used to hit people is more powerful and can be used more freely!
And it also has a very appropriate name - inner strength.
Most of the chapter is theoretical stuff, which is a bit dry, but these things are explained clearly to explain the subsequent problems of the protagonist's inner strength, which is a link between the previous and the next. I will continue to type, and type more words today so that everyone can participate in the lucky draw of the Qidian 515 explosive update event.
