Chapter 4 Taizu Martial Arts
As the sun set, Zhao Chen didn't learn much martial arts that day, and today he just listened to Wang De talk about some basic theoretical knowledge of martial arts.
"Martial arts are divided into acquired and innate! The acquired martial artist, the meridians of the whole body have not yet penetrated, the internal force is limited, and the power of martial arts is naturally limited! Only when you enter the innate can you be regarded as a real first-class master! Today, I am afraid that there are only more than 100 people who can enter the innate realm! Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Wang De said.
"General Wang, have you entered the innate realm?" Zhao Chen said.
"Not bad!" Wang De nodded.
"Enter the Innate Realm...... Is there a constant flow of internal force that will not be exhausted? Zhao Chen said, these are the "knowledge" he used to get from martial arts novels.
"Of course not! Even if you are a congenital master, there are times when your internal strength fails! It's just a congenital master, and the internal force breath is much longer than the day after tomorrow! Ordinary innate masters can also defeat more than ten acquired peak martial artists! Wang Dedao.
"General Wang, besides you, who else in the army is an innate master?" Zhao Chen said.
"The forbidden army is lazy, there are not many masters among them, except for the last general, there seems to be no innate masters. However, among the Western Army, there are many masters, especially one person, named Han Shizhong, who can be called the first master in the Great Song Army! In the past, Fang La was in chaos, Han Shizhong single-handedly broke into the 100,000 chaotic army and captured Fang La alive! That Fang La was already a first-class figure in the rivers and lakes at that time, and it was rumored that he had entered the innate realm for many years, and he was protected by more than ten other innate masters, including Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao and others, who were all famous figures in the rivers and lakes! General Han was able to capture Fang La himself alive under the protection of so many innate masters, and his martial arts were really extremely strong! Wang Dedao.
The name "Han Shizhong ......" can be called thunderous in later generations!
In later generations, the two most famous generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty were Yue Fei and Han Shizhong! I didn't expect Han Shizhong to be the number one master in the Great Song Army now! As for Fang La, Zhao Chen had also heard that the Fang La uprising could be regarded as a famous peasant uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be Fang La, who was captured alive by Han Shizhong! Zhao Chen once watched the Water Margin, which said that it was Fang La, who was captured alive by Lu Zhishen, but it seems that it is just a romance after all!
"Among the rivers and lakes, are there also famous innate masters?" After a while, Zhao Chen said again.
"This is nature, there are many masters in the rivers and lakes! There is a person in the rivers and lakes, known as the immortal immortal Lin Lingsu, this person is said to have stepped into the innate peak realm! When Emperor Taishang was in power, he recruited Lin Lingsu several times, and enshrined Lin Lingsu as Mr. Tongzhen Daling and Jinmen Yuke, he was really amazing, and he was a senior master in the martial arts! In addition to Lin Lingsu, there is also Mr. Dongwei Wang Laozhi, who is also famous in the world! In addition, there is the elder of Shaolin Temple, known as the towering ancient Buddha, and he is also a person with extremely high martial arts! Wang Dedao.
Zhao Chen thought about it, he seemed to have heard of the name "Lin Lingsu", this person was a famous Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that he was still a martial arts master! That Wang Laozhi seems to be a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty, and he is also a little famous! As for "Elder Wuqing", he hadn't heard of it, but Shaolin Temple can be regarded as a famous one!
"I don't know how General Han Shizhong compares to Lin Lingsu, Wang Laozhi, Elder Wuqing and others?" Zhao Chen said.
"This can't be compared! Lin Lingsu is the first person on the righteous path today, and his martial arts are probably far superior to General Han Shizhong's! Wang Laozhi and Elder Wuqing, I am afraid that their martial arts will also be better than General Han! Wang Dedao.
"Oh!" Zhao Chen nodded.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have taught you the basic knowledge of cultivating internal strength today! After you return to the East Palace, you can read the Emperor's Heavenly Recipe carefully, tomorrow you will still come to Jujing Garden, it is quiet here, and there are guards to protect it, you practice here, and I will guard it on the side. If you have any questions, I can answer them. What do you think? Wang Dedao.
"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.
"It's getting late! It's not too early, and the last general will retire first! Wang Dedao.
Zhao Chen was about to let Wang De leave, when he suddenly remembered a question and said, "General Wang, you wait a minute...... Since Emperor Taizu was able to create this Emperor Heavenly Technique and Dazheng Sword Technique, is he also a person with strong martial arts? ”
Wang De was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Chen a little strangely, he couldn't imagine that Zhao Chen didn't even know these "common sense"! But after thinking about it, he faintly heard that the prince had amnesia, and it seemed that the prince had forgotten these things!
"I got the country from Emperor Taizu and the troubled times, and the natural martial arts are extremely strong! At that time, Emperor Taizu was originally born in the rivers and lakes, and he worshipped the remaining nine heroes such as Yang Guangyi and Shi Shouxin, and was known as the ten brothers of the Righteous Society! After that, Emperor Taizu took ten brothers to join the army, fought in the south and the north, invincible, he relied on a stick to beat the invincible hand all over Kyushu, and I don't know how many fierce generals died under his fist and stick! To this day, the folk still say, 'a stick and other bodies, four hundred military states are surnamed Zhao', since ancient times, emperors, if only on martial arts, no one can compare to my Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty! There are nine martial arts in the world, one is the highest, and the Emperor Taizu created the Emperor Tianjue and the Dazheng swordsmanship are all first-class martial arts, which are world-famous! In addition to the Emperor Tianjue and the Dazheng Sword Technique, Emperor Taizu still left the Taizu Long Fist, which has long been spread all over the people, and there are many people who practice it! It is rumored that the Taizu Changquan passed down by Ouchi is extremely exquisite, which is very different from the folk Taizu Changquan, and I don't know if this is the case? Wang Dedao.
Wang De said while secretly glancing at the middle-aged eunuch next to him, the eunuch nodded and said coldly: "This is nature!" The folk Taizu long fist is only thirty-two styles, and the Taizu long fist is the fist book left by the Taizu Emperor himself, with a total of one hundred and eight styles, which is more subtle than the folk legend! ”
"Sure enough!" Wang De nodded.
But he was just asking, he didn't dare to expect to learn the real royal martial arts! The royal martial arts can only be practiced by royal children, and if ordinary generals practice, it is a great rebellion and a crime that deserves death!
It was getting dark, Wang De had already left, but Zhao Chen returned to the East Palace with the middle-aged eunuch.
******
"Your Highness, you are the prince, and you will inherit the great unification in the future, this martial arts is a small way, you must not indulge in it!" The middle-aged eunuch followed behind Zhao Chen and said.
"Gonggong Liu, since Emperor Taizu passed down the Emperor's Heavenly Technique and the Dazheng Sword Technique, I am the crown prince, why haven't I learned these martial arts before? Moreover, it seems that my father has not learned these martial arts either? Zhao Chen asked curiously as he walked forward.
"What kind of identity are Your Majesty and Your Highness, how can you waste your energy to learn martial arts? People in the world learn martial arts just to protect themselves, but Your Majesty and His Highness have countless guards around them, and there are many masters among them, do you still need Your Majesty and Your Highness to take action in person? "The middle-aged eunuch Liu Gong is fair.
There is some truth to this...... In this way, there are not many people in my Great Song royal family who know martial arts now? Zhao Chen said.
"I'm afraid not!" Gonggong Liu shook his head.
Learning martial arts is extremely hard and boring! The children of the royal family are all golden branches and jade leaves, and they are all greedy for pleasure, who will work hard to learn martial arts?
In all dynasties, in addition to the founding emperor, crown prince, and prince who would practice martial arts, most of the emperors, princes, and princes after them were weak! Especially in the Song Dynasty, the status of literati was extremely high, and the status of warriors was extremely low! This is the case for the whole society, and the children of the royal family are naturally affected by it! Among the royal children of the Song Dynasty, there were many literati, artists, and collectors, but there were no warriors! It is an elegant thing for the children of the royal family to chant poetry, and it is a vulgar thing to practice martial arts!
"The Great Song Dynasty was brought down by the ancestors with their fists, not by reading books and reciting poems! As a child of the royal family, how can you not practice martial arts? Especially now is a troubled time, the Jurchen barbarians are eyeing my Great Song Dynasty, learning martial arts can recover the country, if there is no martial arts, I am afraid that I will not even be able to protect myself in the future! I must learn this martial art well! Zhao Chen said suddenly.
Gonggong Liu next to him was stunned, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was talking nonsense again.
