Chapter 203: Detachment of Body and Mind
At noon, the leaders of China, Japan and South Korea enjoyed a luncheon together. Although in the martial arts world, the fight between Yu Tingcheng and Okawa Naoya can be described as a shocking battle, but at the level of national leadership, it is a trivial matter. The only slight change is that the mainland acquired a $10 million stake in the Taiwan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and the three parties of China, Japan and Han had a simple martial arts exchange.
In today's era, martial arts no longer have much practical value. This is also the unstoppable tide of historical progress.
However, at the luncheon, the leaders of the Han Kingdom and the ambassadors of the Han Kingdom who were invited here all came over to toast Yu Tingcheng and Master Luo, and gave a considerable evaluation of this competition. Ambassador Guo said: "Chief Luo, Miss Yu, this martial arts exchange is really an eye-opener for us. I heard that your country has been doing fighting exchanges with Oros all these years, I wonder if we are lucky enough to invite Miss Yu to be an instructor?"
Master Luo said: "Of course, exchanges between countries are important, as long as your country is willing, of course we will not refuse. However, we can't reply to such things without authorization, and we need to ask our superiors before arranging the communication. At this time, Master Luo couldn't help but feel a little angry. Sino-Japanese martial arts exchanges, the Chinese side won a big victory, and the Japanese community was disgraced, which has always been a dream of Chinese martial arts.
"I don't know if Xiao Yu is going to return to China this time, will she be awarded the title of meritorious service again? Although she is only a professional and technical officer, such a young major general is really something that has not happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China, or she will be arranged to change careers. I really hope that Xiao Yu will continue to stay in the army!" For a while, Division Commander Luo, Ling Yang, and Luo Yueqing couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The special intelligence department actually produced such a character as Yu Allure.
However, at this time, Yu Tingcheng did not show any joy, but invited Naoya Okawa from the dining table next to him.
"Your Excellency, in fact, Mr. Okawa's martial arts achievements are also very high. In fact, people who practice martial arts should not judge heroes by victory or defeat, and I don't want things in between battles to make everyone snub the guests of Ritai. β
"Miss Yu really has the demeanor of a generation of grandmasters. It would be our honor to invite Miss Yu to do a military fight exchange this time. When the ambassador heard this, he also nodded politely to Yu Qingcheng, and then turned around and shook hands with Naoya Okawa. "You too, Mr. Okawa, forgive us for ignoring you. If possible, I hope you can go to the country to open an apprenticeship and spread the extreme vacuum karate, just like His Excellency Dashan Beida did back then. β
"Thank you, it will be my pleasure. Okawa Naoya glanced at Yu Chengcheng, and then bowed politely to the ambassador of the country. The ambassador shook hands with Master Luo again, and then said goodbye and went to another table.
Yu Tingcheng and Okawa Naoya also held their wine glasses and left the table a little distance. The two young martial arts masters finally had their first intersection outside of boxing. Yu Qingcheng said: "How is the injury in the chest?"
Okawa Naoya shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I've already applied medicine, and I'll be cured soon." Master Yu is indeed the number one master of Chinese Guoshu, and Dachuan is convinced to lose today. β
Yu Tingcheng glanced at Dachuan and said, "The number one master of Chinese national arts? No matter how big China is and how big the world is, the person who is called the first in vain already has a big flaw. Excessive pride can make people narrow-minded and see the strengths of others as their weaknesses, and although Mr. Okawa also participated in metaphysics, he did not break free from the shackles of the country and the nation. That's why you missed today. β
"So, Master Yu has broken free from the shackles of the country and the nation?" Okawa Naoya covered his heart with his hand, facing a person like Yu Qingcheng, he was willing to be honest.
Yu Qingcheng said: "The body cannot be detached, but the heart can be detached." My boxing philosophy is not confined to one family, and the epiphany of many realms are based on the martial arts concepts of Grandmaster Daiyama Beida and Ueshiba Shengpei, and even Western fighting I admire very much. I don't think that Chinese martial arts are the best in the world, but the martial arts of the Japanese have begun to deviate from this original intention, and in the subconscious of many Japanese martial artists, it will always be proved that the Japanese karate is the first. That's the biggest constraint. β
"Is that so?" Okawa seemed to understand something when he heard this. "The body cannot be detached, but the mind can be detached from ......"
Practitioners who have attained the path of sincerity will face this barrier, that is, the mind can be detached, but the body cannot be detached.
However, Yu Tingcheng said these two concepts in opposite terms, and the artistic conception expressed was completely different.
Even though the body cannot be detached, the mind can be detached!
People can't get rid of the shackles of their families, countries and nations, but boxing can completely transcend any sect.
Although Okawa also wrote books and lectures, he promoted Hinata karate. Yu Qingcheng's wish is to practice martial arts gymnastics, so that people who can't practice martial arts can also strengthen their bodies.
This is also the essential difference between the Chinese and Japanese martial arts concepts.
Therefore, Chinese kung fu in contemporary times, there are many shows, but there are few that can be practiced. Because China's martial arts has been freed from the shackles of killing and strife, advocating nature, but superficial people will still judge the level of martial arts by actual combat, and ignore the original meaning of the Tao.
Yu said: "In today's era, guns are rampant, and boxing has lost its own value. But the martial artist should not feel sad because of this, because this result allows the martial arts to break free from the shackles of killing and truly take on their own meaning! Therefore, in my opinion, the progress of the times has not only not destroyed the martial arts, but has allowed the martial artists to transcend, although I don't know if this is right or not. But I believe that the pursuit of sincerity is always more important than killing. β
At this time, Naoya Okawa finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and a relieved look appeared on his face. He bowed to Yu Qingcheng and said, "Thank you, Master Yu, Dachuan is very honored to be able to learn from you." β
Yu Qingcheng also returned the salute and said, "You are younger than me, you are a real genius, and your future is limitless. If you are willing, we can learn from time to time and exchange experience in martial arts, which is also a great joy in life. I've already peeked into the cliff behind the peak, and I'm sure you'll probably understand how I feel today after seeing it. Thank you Okawa too, you and Mr. Funakoshi have changed my impression of the Hinata Martial Arts. β
After the luncheon, the Japanese community immediately prepared to set off for home. After all, they fell behind in the exchange, and they didn't want to stay here longer. As the Chinese representative who won the exchange, Ying Hanguo and the consulate of the local Chinese country had to carry out a short period of fighting exchanges. Although heroes are not judged by success or failure on the surface, in fact, there is still a big gap in the treatment of winners and losers.
Now that Han and Qi have resumed exchanges with the Chinese side, the distance between the Japanese side and Taiwan will become more and more distant.
Late at night, Kamata Karate Hall, Kyoto.
Naoya Okawa, dressed in a samurai uniform, sat calmly in the middle of the dojo. In front of him was a table with a life and death certificate signed by him and the Imperial Martial Society, and there were also many kneeling people around him. Some of these people were also wearing samurai uniforms, while others were wearing military uniforms, and they all looked at Naoya Okawa in the center. After a while, an officer said, "Your Excellency, you have failed in the contest with the Chinese warriors. β
"Yes. Okawa nodded slightly. The officer said: "Your Excellency, you should know how bad the impact of the failure of this contest is. Your plan to bring the Great Ritsu Empire back to Taiwan has come to naught, and at the same time, in front of many countries in the world, the Japanese Empire's martial arts will not be able to raise its head! This is the shame of the Great Ritsu Empire, and the Imperial Martial Arts Association will organize an East Asian martial arts conference to reverse the defeat. β
Okawa Naoya sighed slightly and said, "It's useless, the sky has fallen into the city, and her martial arts realm is not what you can imagine." Don't be obsessed with holding any East Asian martial arts conferences, today's era is an era when martial arts have returned to its essence. β
"Huh?"
When the officer heard this, his eyes glared for a moment, as if he could not agree with Naoya Okawa's words. "Your Excellency Dachuan, I didn't expect that a single defeat would make you lose the martial arts spirit of our Great Ritsu Empire? Don't forget, if it weren't for our Imperial Martial Arts Association and the Military Department, you and your mother would have died of poverty long ago! Now you have missed the opportunity for Da Ri Tai to return to Taiwan, and you have thwarted the glory of Da Ri Tai's martial arts, and now you can only use your blood to wash away this shame!"
The bushido spirit and military β‘ ideology of the Japanese Youyi forces are very extreme. The defeated samurai must wash away his shame with blood.
"I knew there was going to be a day like this. But I don't care anymore, my heart is detached, so why should I care about this skin. Da Chuan's expression was still calm, and he took off his shirt, and layers of white cloth had been wrapped around his body, chest and abdomen. On the other side, a samurai, as the wrong person, had already taken a katana and knelt behind Naoya Okawa.
Okawa picked up a short knife in front of him, drew the blade, and washed it with wine. The surrounding samurai bowed their heads to the ground in reverence, and the officer said, "Your Excellency, after you are loyal to the β‘ of heaven, we will definitely take good care of your mother." β
"Thank you. Okawa Naoya closed his eyes, and then the short knife fell back, and he cut open his chest and abdomen, and suddenly the thick blood like mercury oozed out, staining him into a bloody man!
Naoya Okawa, the young master of Nikgoku Vacuum Jarate, died at the Kamata Karate Hall in Kyoto in the early spring of the new year at the age of 23.
"No!"
Just as the samurai gathered Okawa into the coffin, two figures rushed in from outside the dojo and threw themselves on top of the coffin. These two people, one is Takako Fujita and the other is Takuya Kimura, both of them looked shocked and stunned at this time. Because they really couldn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe it, the young great master who was still exchanging martial arts with the Chinese side on Jiβ‘ Island in the morning turned out to be a cold corpse at night.
"Baga Crush!"
Kimura couldn't help but roar angrily at the officer, "Your Excellency Tanaka, you bastard, you actually took Okawa-kun's mother hostage and let him compete with Chinese warriors! Now that Okawa-kun has been forced to death again, do you know what you have done? Okawa-kun is a karate master who will only be born once in a hundred years, and he inherits the martial arts of our Yamato nation, and you have broken the faith of our nation! You scum of military β‘ism!"
And Fujita Yukiko just lay on top of the coffin, crying loudly, unable to say a word.
When Tanaka heard this, his face did not change: "Mr. Kimura, now that I am the supreme military commander here, I hope you can control your words and deeds! The peaceful life has made many Japanese people forget our former glory, and it has also raised you weak maggots, and even betrayed the faith of our Great Nichiza Empire! In order to reproduce the glory of the Great Nichidai and realize the Great Eastern β‘ Circle, what is it to sacrifice a mere Okawa Naoya?"
"It is his glory to be able to be loyal to the β‘ of heaven! The Great Ritai Empire is onboard, and His Majesty β‘ the Celestial ...... is onboard."
"Crazy, you're just a bunch of crazy people......" Kimura got up from the ground and helped Yuko Fujita up. "Yukiko, let's go. Let's go back to Europe, don't stay here any longer, I'm going to see how these crazy people go to their demise!"
"Stop!" Tanaka also stood up, a sneer on his face. "Okawa-kun's ashes will be enshrined in the ritual shrine, where are you going to take him?"
Kimura also showed a sneer: "Your Excellency Tanaka, Miss Fujita is British, and her nationality is not in Japan. Where her fiancΓ© is to be buried is up to the law, do you people really think you're going back a century ago? I warn you to hurry up and hand over Mrs. Okawa as well, or else things will get bigger, and I can't be sure what will happen!"
