Chapter 121: On the Tao
Dugu Jun, as the first swordsman of the Angel Kingdom and the commander of the black-clothed guards, couldn't resist the ten swords of the "Sword Saint" Long Xiao, and even his life was hanging by a thread in the seventh sword, Xia Xue couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.
After seeing Long Xiao's fierce and ferocious sword, Xia Xue sighed: "Who said that traditional Chinese martial arts can't be beaten, who said that traditional Chinese martial arts are all fancy routines and have no actual combat value, this Long Xiao's Dragon swordsmanship is too domineering!" There are not many people in this world who can beat him! ”
Xia Xue remembers that in the coming era, traditional Chinese martial arts are shrinking into performances and routines and even some kind of scam. There are thousands of boxers in parks, neighborhoods, and squares, but many are doing aerobics. In martial arts competitions and examination halls, even on television, on stage, and in the ring, wushu is drowning in all kinds of difficult movements, beautiful music, beautiful feints and colorful costumes, and is gradually losing its core significance of martial arts and fighting. The gap between Chinese martial arts and world competitive sports is getting wider and wider. Chinese martial arts are emerging a kind of "giant on the outside, dwarf on the inside" strange circle.
I remember seeing previous news and videos about Chinese martial arts: the founder of Tai Chi represented traditional martial arts to fight a fighting maniac, and was beaten to the point of bleeding; A Xingyi boxer, who has won the national martial arts championship many times, was knocked to the ground by his son who practiced sanda with two swing punches in a physical conflict caused by a trivial family matter, and was vulnerable; Another boxer in Shanghai who practiced Xinyi Liuhe Boxing was beaten into a deep coma during a physical altercation with members of the public, and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, lying on the bed with a blue nose and swollen face. Tai Chi Tong back boxing enthusiasts competed with mixed martial arts enthusiasts and was knocked out.
Chinese martial arts have changed from being able to fight to not being able to fight.
In fact, this is not the case with traditional Chinese martial arts, and the reasons why martial arts cannot be fought are also complex and diverse. The real traditional Chinese martial arts must be able to fight.
In that cruel and chaotic era, learn a variety of martial arts with strong combat skills, grappling and fighting techniques, and various means and techniques to kill opponents in order to survive. However, in the era of peace, there is no room for use and practice of these techniques such as throat cutting, vaginal teasing, eye insertion, and wrist reversal. Martial arts fighting loses its basis in reality and begins to be imagined. As a result, martial arts became performances, dances, and a lot of performative and ritualistic things, and even added various philosophies, health preservation, medical skills and other miscellaneous contents. These have made traditional martial arts impossible to fight and unable to fight.
In troubled times, everyone is in danger and needs martial arts to defend themselves. However, in the era of peace and the rule of law, the aggressiveness of martial arts is bound to weaken, which has caused confusion in the development of martial arts, and everyone does not like to fight around, which has to pay a high legal and economic price. As a result, the martial arts community has come to strengthen the fitness and performance functions of martial arts and weaken the function of martial arts.
The martial arts are becoming weaker and weaker, and some types of boxing have become pure aerobic gymnastics or fitness dances, or have been blown into a kind of story similar to folklore by some martial arts enthusiasts who can't beat it, but like to "blow the master's door", "blow the ancestors" and "play the mouth cannon".
A limerick poem describes it this way:
"Today's martial arts are too absurd, and they don't practice real skills and show boxing, and they are overwhelming. Masters and masters are seen everywhere, touting each other's nominating spirits, and they are only for money. The private sect is very simple, and they are all the first punches in the world. For a tablet to raise the threshold, make up some materials into a family heirloom, wearing gossip and holding Buddha dust, just like a great immortal descending to the mortal world. The master boasted that his apprentice shouted, only he was the true inheritance, and he didn't mention the depth of his kung fu, why did he practice so much that his knees were crippled? The big ball in the abdomen turns every day, intoxication is better than smoking a big cigarette, and the magic is invincible and overlooks the world, but he doesn't dare to fight Muay Thai. ”
These fake martial arts masters first hypnotized themselves, thinking that their flower fists and embroidered legs were very powerful, and then hypnotized their disciples and grandchildren, blowing useless fist techniques into useful ones, and falling into the situation of self-deception and deception of others.
It is some fake martial arts scammers who take advantage of the public's mystery and curiosity about martial arts, and take advantage of the vague mixture of traditional martial arts systems covering "Tao, medicine, learning, and martial arts" to exploit the loopholes of unclear definition of martial arts.
For example, using a rope to tie a pigeon to perform "Tai Chi Birds Do Not Fly", using the cooperation of master and apprentice to perform "beating people in the air", using human body mechanics to perform "Jack Fall", or holding high the banners of "Divine Skills", "Culture" and "Health Maintenance" to deceive and deceive.
Martial arts, the most basic is its fighting skills, on the basis of fighting, there are fitness and health, medical salvation, and the evolution of martial arts culture. If martial arts don't know how to fight and talk about health and culture, it's like people who can't swim to dive, without a foundation and a source. It's very simple, if martial arts is fitness, why bother to learn martial arts, you can play football, run, swim, and the effect is the same.
Xia Xue's martial arts are taught by his father of special forces, of course, the emphasis is on the actual combat martial arts of one hit killing, combining the advantages of traditional Chinese martial arts, grappling fighting, sanda, boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, karate, etc., attaching importance to confrontation training and confrontation techniques, such as: the time difference in the confrontation, the sense of distance of the hit, the ability to resist the hit, the ability to react, etc., "The road to simplicity", although there is no fixed school, although there are no gorgeous moves, but the actual combat is very strong.
"The master's swordsmanship is superb, reaching the peak, the Dugu commander is not an opponent, or this king himself asks the master for advice, I believe we will all keep our promises."
Facing the Queen of the Angel Kingdom who was holding a Tang knife and was as beautiful as a fairy, Long Xiao's pupils flashed with a faint brilliance, his eyebrows were very thick, and there was a kind of arrogance in his eyes that despised everyone. However, the momentum on his body is all about one point - this tall and burly man is definitely a terrifying master.
The more perceptive you are, the more you can appreciate this. Xia Xue could deeply feel the strength of the other party, and at this moment, the "Sword Saint" Long Xiao gave him the feeling that the other party was a towering mountain, standing still, and even letting the wind stagnate.
She saw that the other party was just standing there alone, but it felt like she was facing a mountain.
Xia Xue restrained her heart and smiled slightly, she could feel the strength of the other party, it didn't mean that the other party could really be stronger than herself, which Xia Xue was very confident.
"I didn't expect the Queen of the Angel Kingdom to be a weak girl!" Long Xiao raised his brows slightly. The reaction of the Queen of the Angel Kingdom was somewhat unexpected by him. He had never met a young man who could stand still under his momentum so far.
"The master's swordsmanship is really unparalleled in the world, and this king really admires it!"
Seeing that the Queen of the Angel Kingdom was calm and relaxed, Long Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly. But this smile just appeared, and it immediately converged, and the weak girl in front of her had an extraordinary bearing, obviously a master.
Long Xiao sighed: "The queen can give Long such a big face, and Long is deeply grateful. ”
Xia Xue said: "If a competition can avoid the destruction of lives and bloodshed, this king is naturally as good as flowing." It is also a great honor for this king to be able to learn martial arts with the master of the sword. Moreover, for the teachings of Mingjiao, this king also has a cognition, and the great cause of the world is borne up by the people. Mencius said that the people are the most important, and the king is light. I only hate Mingjiao and have a shallow relationship, the master is here, and of course this king asks for teaching. However, I think that although the teachings of Mingjiao are very good, they are also biased. ”
Long Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this, the dignified queen of the angel country, this is to talk to him about the teachings of Mingjiao. If you can change the Queen's mind. Let her work with Mingjiao to realize the dream of universal harmony and a bright world, how good it would be.
At that moment, Long Xiao said: "Her Majesty thinks that my Ming Sect is biased? Xia Xue said: "The goodness of Mingjiao is really unique, the people of the world, the maintenance of the country, it can be said that the best policy is to maintain the country with the teachings of Mingjiao." However, this kind of great harmony of Mingjiao is too much to be realized. ”
"You have added a lot of unnecessary things to your teachings, so to speak, inexplicable! I heard that you Mingjiao eat vegetables and not meat. Yes, in hard times, everyone has nothing to eat, only vegetables. But for example, people are starving to death. But there is a dead cow, do you eat it or not. I believe that hard simplicity can be preached, but it must not be rigid and dogmatic. ”
"Also, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, everyone's minds are different, and they want to be the same in everything, isn't this pedantic? For example, in a village and a country, how can the leadership decide a thing to satisfy everyone? Naturally not. If you can satisfy most people, it is already valuable. ”
"Although the teachings of Mingjiao are good, it is impossible for the people to judge the quality of each of the emperor's orders, and see whether they are implemented or not. For example, in the Turkic invasion, an order is to be obeyed, and those who obey me will live, and those who oppose me will be killed. In this way, our country can be preserved and not destroyed! ”
"It's not okay to have a complete average, it's still the same sentence, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, some people are hardworking and some are lazy. Hard-working people will suffer in the Datong world, and the lazy will become more and more lazy. At the same time, the industrious will learn to be lazy, and then everyone will not even have anything to eat. That's why I'm advocating a policy of working more and getting less work. There are not enough fields for so many people to plant, and everyone grabs the fields to make a living, so we will open more factories and run more trade. Let everyone have food to eat and clothes to wear. When the time comes, you only need to take special care of the elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled, and give them clothes and food for survival. Well, what do I mean masters? ”
The sky fell apart when he said this. Xia Xue went down with a stick and said that the most important propositions of Mingjiao were useless. If Xia Xue was just scolding, then Long Xiao would naturally not take it to heart, but Xia Xue said this, which was reasonable and modest, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The truth is simple, but this is the truth that will be explored in the next thousand years.
A genius like Long Xiao has his own ideas and a certain amount of knowledge, so he understands that what Xia Xue said is correct, and he can't argue with Xia Xue when he says it like this.
"You...... You ......" saw Long Xiao's beard like this. Xia Xue said with a smile: "As long as there are no harsh taxes in the world, the people will be able to live, and the world will be peaceful." If we can carry out industry and commerce on a large scale and reduce the number of soldiers and reduce the number of politicians, the country will be rich and the people's burden will be reduced. Even, I think it is not impossible to reduce or even eliminate taxes on agriculture in the future! ”
Xia Xue was simple, and stopped Long Xiao with more than two thousand years of knowledge. If Long Xiao was just a fanatic of Mingjiao who knew nothing, then he would be unreasonable. But Long Xiao is a person with his own opinions, he has his own thoughts, his own opinions, and a certain amount of knowledge.
After hearing this, Long Xiao was silent for a while, bowed his head and thought, but soon he raised his head and shouted: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, how can there be such a reason in the world." My Ming Sect is a sect that seeks benefits for thousands of people. Your Majesty, I won't say much to you, but only speak with your sword, and see what you are capable of! If I win, please keep your promise and quit your army. If you win, my Mingjiao brothers in Shuzhou City are willing to surrender and sacrifice the city. ”
Long Xiao knew that he couldn't say anything about this beautiful and intelligent little queen, so he could only convince the other party with what he thought was powerful. Facing the erudite and powerful Xia Xue, Long Xiao, who was speechless, could only use martial arts to convince the other party.
"Well, since that's the case, let's ask the master to make a move." It seems that Wen can't only come to martial arts, Xia Xue took a deep breath, she looked at the tall and burly Long Xiao, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"It should be fun and exciting to compete with the ancient Sword Saint!" Xia Xue couldn't help but be eager to try.
At this time, Long Xiao raised his sword and felt every cell in his body burn.
"As long as you defeat the queen of the angel country, you can save the base of the Mingjiao in Jianghuai, this is a golden opportunity for you to establish a noble status and make contributions in the Mingjiao, you must grasp it!" Long Xiao looked at the delicate girl queen opposite, and firmly believed that he would definitely succeed.
Long Xiao raised his head, his eyes so bright that they seemed to be burning. He faintly felt that the delicate girl on the other side was also a person with a strong strength, and the stronger the other party, the more it could stimulate Long Xiao's strong desire to win.
As soon as the Tang knife in Xia Xue's hand was raised, the natural momentum had already captured everyone around him in an instant. This kind of momentum is terrifying, and this momentum on her body makes people feel suffocated like a cliff in the abyss.
At this moment, Xia Xue was enough to shock all the Mingjiao swordsmen and the people and angel soldiers around him.
"Master-level knife skills." Long Xiao's eyes lit up slightly and said, "You are qualified to fight with me." He snorted and shouted, "Take it!" ”
The giant sword in Long Xiao's hand had swung over his head, and it hung upside down with a gust of wind. There was a distance of about ten meters between him and Xia Xue, but in an instant, the thick sword blade had already reached the top of Queen Xia Xue's head.
