Text Chapter 130, Master of Martial Arts
Ancient Chinese martial arts are known as the southern fist and the northern leg, with very different styles and distinctive characteristics.
The sun rises from the top of Mount Tai, in the open space, opening and closing, jumping vertically and widely, stretching and generous, which is the characteristic of the northern martial arts; The moon hangs on the small bridge, between the bamboo forests, the short bridge is strong, the wide sinking horse, fast and compact, this is the characteristic of the southern school of martial arts.
The main reason is that the southern body is not as burly as the northerners, and the difference in body makes the southerners good at boxing and the northerners good at legs.
Compared to the southerners, the northerners are tall, long-legged, and athletic, and have an advantage in strength, and their martial arts also highlight these characteristics. For example, boxing techniques are often used to smash, collapse, and hammer, and shots also emphasize picking, rushing, and colliding, etc., and the foundation of these skills lies in the advantage of strength. As for the use and skills of the leg method, the southern school is far inferior.
Although the Southern School martial arts can take advantage of the characteristics of flexibility and speed, this can only offset the gap in attack range, and cannot make up for the absolute gap in strength. If the emphasis is on strength training, it will inevitably affect the flexibility of the body, so that the defects in the attack range will be exposed.
It can be said that the core of the entire development of the Southern School of martial arts is to increase the strength of the attack on the premise of maintaining the flexibility of the body.
To a certain extent, the core of the development of ancient Chinese northern martial arts is to maximize the physical advantages, while the core of the development of southern martial arts is how to use skills to make up for their own shortcomings.
Of course, there are many genius martial arts masters, such as Huang Feihong, who are both fists and feet (shadowless feet and drunken boxing), and Liu Ying's father Liu Xiaoguo is also like this, although Liu Xiaoguo is an authentic southerner, but since he was a child, he has been tall and strong, not only proficient in ancestral boxing, but also traveled around the country when he was a teenager, visited martial arts masters all over the country, and absorbed the essence of martial arts from all over the world, thus forming a set of his own martial arts routines.
As the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, Liu Xiaoguo, who has been wandering around the country for 20 years, is also like this, when he returned to his hometown foshan in his forties, he also opened a private martial arts hall to teach people martial arts.
And Liu Xiaoguo doesn't take martial arts very seriously like some martial arts teachers, and he doesn't pass on the tradition of martial arts to men, not to women, and not to the outside.
There is no prejudice of the southern and northern factions, and the students who come to visit the arts, as long as they are of good character and have no bad habits, Liu Xiaoguo treats them equally and carefully teaches. In this way, Liu Xiaoguo, who has been going back and forth, has become more famous, and even people from the north and even the northeast have come to learn art.
Liu Ying's mother is a literary young woman in Beijing, who likes martial arts since she was a child, and went to Foshan to find Liu Xiaoguo to learn art, and the two fell in love with each other in the process of practicing martial arts, although she was nearly thirty years younger than Liu Xiaoguo, but she still married Liu Xiaoguo without hesitation.
Liu Xiaoguo, a middle-aged man over fifty years old, can marry a girl in her twenties as his wife, of course, he is very happy, he loves his wife in every way, and takes care of him meticulously.
The two had a very happy married life, and Liu Ying's birth a few years later brought a lot of joy to the family. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Revolution and other movements began one after another, and martial arts, as the dregs of the old society, naturally had to be swept into the garbage heap of history.
At that time, the Zhongzi dance was practiced everywhere in the country, and no one dared to practice martial arts at all, and martial artists were persecuted everywhere.
Liu Xiaoguo, as a representative of outstanding martial artists in Foshan, has of course also been criticized.
At the beginning, because they were all villagers, they were all in the same way, but because Liu Xiaoguo was too famous in the local area, he was finally caught by the local cultural and revolutionary team for criticism, and he wanted to crack down on Liu Xiaoguo's unhealthy tendencies.
In those ten years, criticism again and again, standing on the stage by the red general, humiliated and beaten, deeply hurt the physical and mental health of Liu Xiaoguo and his wife, in the words of Liu Ying's mother at that time, if it were not for their daughter, worried about their daughter's future life, both husband and wife had suicidal thoughts.
In the end, Liu Ying's mother did not survive the ten years, and died of illness a few years ago. Although Liu Xiaoguo is older, after all, he has practiced martial arts all his life, and his body is much stronger than ordinary people, and he barely survived the ten years, but his body still collapsed. Because no matter what, Liu Xiaoguo is an old man over seventy years old. It's not easy to get through it.
Originally, because Liu Xiaoguo had many apprentices, with the help of these apprentices, the father and daughter could live normally, although life may be harder. But the worst thing is that Liu Xiaoguo's body collapsed, and in the words of the doctor, if he doesn't take care of it well, he probably won't live long.
Conditioning the body, you need to use a lot of medicinal materials, as a martial arts family, the Liu family can be said to have no shortage of recipes, not to mention that Liu Xiaoguo of course traveled around the world to get the medicinal recipes, that is, there are also many ancestral recipes at home, and the effect is said to be very good.
But the medicinal materials that need to be used give her daughter Liu Ying a headache, the family is just barely full, how can there be any spare money to buy medicine, ordinary medicinal materials can not afford to buy and can go up the mountain to pick, and ginseng and other tonic medicinal materials must be bought, these things can not be collected in the south.
And Liu Xiaoguo's apprentices are not wealthy, even if they want to help, they are powerless. There is no way that in 77 years, the mainland is too poor, and many places can't even eat a full meal, so how can they have spare money to buy those precious medicinal materials.
Seeing her father's body losing weight day by day, Liu Ying saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, this was her only relative, and she had to find a way to treat her father.
Just when Liu Ying's six gods were gone, a fellow villager brought a message. It is said that the person in charge of recruitment not only wants to be a retired soldier, but also wants to find some martial arts masters as instructors to train soldiers. It is said that the wages paid in Hong Kong are very high, hundreds of times the wages of our workers here.
Hearing the news, Liu Ying, who was very confident in her skills, immediately decided to try her luck and make money to treat her father's illness.
You must know that because Liu Xiaoguo does not have the idea of patriarchy, she has been very strict with Liu Ying since she was a child and taught her to learn martial arts, and she completely cultivated Liu Ying as her heir.
Because since childhood, he has used precious medicinal materials to lay the foundation. (In the text. Before the revolution, the Liu family was still very rich) Don't look at Liu Ying's age, she is still very young, but it is still difficult to find an opponent who can beat her.
Because Foshan is not far from the Special Economic Zone, of course, it is not called the Special Economic Zone now. Liu Ying and several sisters in the village who practiced martial arts together came to the Special Zone and found Liu Wei to recommend themselves.
Liu Wei is very familiar with Liu Xiaoguo's name, after all, Liu Wei is also from eastern Guangdong, and there are very few people who practice martial arts in eastern Guangdong who don't know Liu Xiaoguo.
Liu Wei didn't dare to slack off on Liu Ying's door-to-door visit, but Liu Wei felt very embarrassed by Liu Ying's idea of going to Hong Kong to make money.
Needless to say, with Liu Xiaoguo's skills and fame, if Master Liu came over to be the head of the sect, Liu Wei would definitely welcome him with both hands and feet, but Liu Ying would be a little blind when he came over.
Seeing that Liu Wei was a little embarrassed, Liu Ying didn't say much nonsense, and directly asked to go down and compete with Liu Wei.
After a painful education, Liu Wei agreed to Liu Ying's request and brought her to Hong Kong, and of course Liu Ying's sisters also came. Liu Wei also gave the money on his body, except for the necessary funds, to let people buy medicinal materials, and let people give it to Master Liu.
"In this way, Liu Ying came to Hong Kong because her father's body needed a lot of money to buy medicine to recuperate." After listening to Liu Wei's words, Lei Weidong can be said to have a preliminary understanding of Liu Ying's situation.
"Yes, boss, it is said that Master Liu needs too much money to recuperate well, and if he doesn't come to Hong Kong, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get so much money by relying on his relatives and apprentices!" Liu Wei nodded and said:
Well, great, Lei Weidong turned his head to look at Liu Ying's beautiful face and perfect body, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Uncle Ben is not lacking money now, and what can be bought with money in this world is not difficult for Lei Weidong. As long as Liu Ying's father needs a lot of money to treat his illness, Liu Ying can't run out of the palm of his hand.
In his previous life, Lei Weidong had heard too many stories about young girls who needed a lot of money because their parents were sick and had to go to the sea to make money with their bodies. In contrast, Liu Ying was much happier when she was taken care of by herself in the future.
Of course, this mind must not be revealed, like Liu Ying, a beautiful girl, knows at a glance that she is a very strong woman, otherwise she would not have gone to Hong Kong alone to make money to support her family, if Lei Weidong uses money to persecute, there are only two results.
First, it is possible to be beaten by the other party and then never see each other for the rest of your life.
Second, it is also possible that Liu Ying will have to commit to herself because of her father's illness and needs money, but those who can get the other party in this way will not get the other party's heart. This is a shame for Lei Weidong, who was reborn.
Lei Weidong is not like some scumbags, he will say to girls: "What do I want your heart for?" It's enough to get your body. ”
