Shaolin martial arts have a long history, the earliest can be traced back to more than 1,500 years ago, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the thirteen warrior monks of Shaolin Temple helped Tang King Li Shimin defeat Wang Shichong, Shaolin martial arts have gradually become famous.

Five dynasties, Shaolin monk Fuju invited eighteen martial arts masters into the temple to perform, before and after three years of practice, absorbing the strengths of others to coarse and fine into the "Shaolin boxing book", it can be said that from the Sui, Tang to Jin, Yuan Dynasty, Shaolin martial arts developed rapidly and gradually matured period.
Shaolin Temple is really famous for its martial arts in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaded the southeast coast, more than 80 Shaolin monks bravely went to the battlefield under the leadership of the moon sky and others, repeatedly frustrated the enemy's flames, more than 30 people sacrificed their lives for the country, and wrote a story that can be sung and cried.
On the contrary, in modern and modern times, with the invasion of Western civilization, Shaolin Temple gradually declined and fell silent, and today it has become infamous and reduced to an ordinary ancient temple attraction.
But although the temple was destroyed by the war several times, the inheritance of Shaolin martial arts and Shaolin monks has never been broken, and the Shaolin Temple still retains a team of about 20 monks, practicing diligently every day.
Shi Yongda, the abbot of Shaolin, was selected to learn from Lu Chen, and he was also a monk Shi Yongzhen of the "Shi" generation, he was about thirty years old, burly and rough-looking, with thick eyebrows and big ears, blazing eyes, and the joints of his hands were extraordinarily thick, covered with calluses, and he had obviously practiced martial arts for many years.
What a fierce man!
Seeing this warrior monk, Lu Chen couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, this trip to Songshan Shaolin Temple was really the right one.
Just now, he was worried that Shi Yongda had scruples and was unwilling to send a real master out, so there was no point in competing with each other.
Shi Yongzhen raised his palm and saluted Lu Chen: "Shaolin Shi Yongzhen, I have seen the donor." ”
His voice was low and rough, and there was an indescribable majesty in his gestures, this kind of martial artist's momentum could not be seen or touched, but others could really feel it.
Mayor Lu, who accompanied Lu Chen, couldn't help but change his face slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Shi Yongda.
This warrior monk looks very powerful, is it really appropriate for him to have a discussion with Lu Chen?
Shi Yongda replied with a look that reassured Mayor Lu.
He is very confident in the strength of his junior and younger brothers, and only a true master can be able to control and release freely in the competition, so that he will not damage Shaolin's face, but also control the rhythm without hurting the opponent.
Lu Chen clenched his fists and saluted back: "Please give me a lot of advice." ”
Since the beginning of the year after the battle with Li Zhecheng, the founder of the Korean taekwondo Wucheng school, although many people have challenged Lu Chen, Lu Chen has not tried with outsiders again, and usually competes with members of the Lu family class.
This battle against the Shaolin warrior monk made his belligerent heart resurgence.
Because he had been prepared when he came, the clothes and shoes Lu Chen wore were convenient for exercise, he only took off his coat, and after a simple warm-up, he started a formal contest with Shi Yongzhen.
Others stood on the edge of the arena to watch, and some staff set up cameras to film.
Such a scene must be recorded!
"Drink!"
Shi Yongzhen took the lead, strode forward with a deep shout, and swung a punch straight at Lu Chen.
What this Shaolin monk performed was the famous Shaolin boxing, which was strong and unpretentious, and the moves were simple but conducive to actual combat, which was not comparable to ordinary routines.
When Shi Yongzhen progressed forward, the movements of his feet, knees, and hips were extremely standard, and his lower plate was as stable as Mount Tai, and his punches were fierce and powerful, which won the essence of "punching a line" and showed a very deep foundation.
A punch was thrown, and the punch was cold and roaring, but it retained a little spare strength.
Even so, Lu Chen didn't dare to take it lightly, and immediately stepped to move to dodge, and at the same time twisted his waist and raised his hip to fly up his right leg, kicking at the opponent like lightning.
Shi Yongzhen reacted extremely quickly, and immediately blocked with his cross arm when he punched into the air, which was able to block Lu Chen's whip leg side kick.
Boom!
There was a dull roar between legs and arms, Shi Yongzhen's figure suddenly shook, and a hint of surprise flashed on his dark face, Lu Chen's leg strength was beyond his expectations.
The Shaolin warrior monk finally got serious, turned around and punched again, and his fist power increased to nine points!
Shi Yongzhen's fist is fierce, and his moves are not to fight and defend, and there is no showmanship, but every change in the hand can play the three effects of "blocking, defending, and attacking", and his fist is dignified, so his moves and styles give people a thrilling feeling, and people can't help but sweat for Lu Chen.
If you just compete in strength and skills, Lu Chen is not as good as this warrior monk who has been practicing hard in Shaolin Temple for more than 20 years, and there is a chance that he will lose in a hard-fought confrontation.
But Lu Chensheng is flexible and changeable, his nervous reaction speed is extremely fast, and his self-created kung fu has a natural advantage in hand-to-hand combat, so his fists and feet are on par with Shi Yongzhen.
Bang!
The two sides went back and forth, and after more than a dozen rounds in the blink of an eye, Shi Yongzhen was gradually beaten out of the real fire, but Lu Chen became more and more excited the more he fought.
Opponents are rare, with his current status, it is impossible to compete with others everywhere, at most, he will fight with the people in the Lu family's class in the training hall, and it is difficult to completely let go of his hands and feet to fight hard.
"Hey!"
When the battle reached the end, Shi Yongzhen punched out his arms and fists together, and slammed into Lu Chen's chest.
Lu Chen raised his arms in front of him, firmly blocking his attack.
Bang!
The sound of the impact was terrifying.
"Stop!"
At this time, Mayor Lu, who was watching the battle, shouted.
Shi Yongzhen and Lu Chen stopped their movements at the same time when they heard the sound, only to see the big mayor running over in a hurry, and said with a wry smile: "There are no eyes for fists and feet, can the two of them point until they are done?"
Mayor Lu doesn't know martial arts, and he was worried just now, for fear that something would happen sooner or later if he continued to fight like this.
If something really happens, he, the mayor, will be to blame.
Although Lu Chen didn't have a good time, he also knew Mayor Lu's scruples, and besides, he was a guest after all, so he couldn't be too willful, so he said with a smile: "Okay, Master Yongzhen has profound skills, and I can't win if I continue to fight." ”
Shi Yongzhen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You are very strong, I am not sure to win you." ”
Whether it is martial arts fighting or boxing, the competition is actually strength, speed and reaction, and the moves are not so important, the former Shi Yongzhen has the advantage, and the latter two Lu Chen are stronger.
Under the discussion between the two, they are not sure of victory, and they both have a sense of sympathy.
Mayor Lu said with a smile: "Chess is also a good story when you meet an opponent!"
The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became relaxed.
