Chapter Ninety-Seven: Eight Sledgehammers

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The Red Boat originally referred to the boat on which the Cantonese opera troupe traveled.

Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, because the traffic between the two and six places is not as convenient as the river, the Cantonese opera troupe often toured the Pearl River Delta and the riverside area of Guangzhou.

The first folk union of the Cantonese opera troupe, the Qionghua Guild, was established in Foshan, and since then similar opera troupes have been called the Red Boat Opera Troupe.

The most interesting thing is that most of the stories about the red boat that people in the martial arts are concerned about are not the charm of Cantonese opera or quyi itself, but the several great masters of Nanquan in the founding stage, the best Zen master from Shaolin Temple, Liang Erdi, the founder of the six-and-a-half stick, the master of Huaquan 6 A Cai and even the later Tieqiao Sanliang Kun, all of whom had evaded the pursuit of officers and soldiers on the red boat, or simply were boatmen from the red boat, so that later, the red boat gradually became a major symbol of the Hongmen anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in the Liangguang and Fujian areas.

In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), Li Wenmao and others of the Qionghua Guild organized a triad in response to the Taiping Rebellion, and the Qing government burned down the Qionghua Guild, disbanded the artists, and banned the performance of Cantonese opera for more than ten years.

Yang Meng's inspiration for using Peking Opera as a shield for these elite agents in the future came from the mysterious Red Boat, which was legendary in later generations.

And in order to better integrate into Yang Xiaolou's Yang family class, he chose a compulsory course for these martial arts apprentices - "Eight Hammers".

The reason why I chose this play is because it is a one-fold repertoire that doesn't care much about singing skills and acting skills, and is more inclined to use Lisuo's posture and beautiful martial arts techniques such as big guns, double guns, and sledgehammers. to express the love of the characters in the story and the high of the whole track. Tide part.

Yang Zaixing, Yue Fei's anti-Jin general, is also the great master of spearmanship who makes the Yang family's gun truly shine.

In fact, the first half of this song is said to mean that Yang Zaixing led 300 cavalry to take the Xiaoshang Bridge by mistake, and was surrounded by the 120,000 troops of Jin Wushu, Yang Zaixing led 300 people to kill more than 2ooo enemies, stabbed to death 10,000 households Changsa Ba Jian, 1,000 households, 1000 households more than 1oo people, and finally the horse fell into the mud. This is the story of Wang Lan, Gao Lin and other generals and 300 cavalrymen all martyred.

Reputedly. At that time, Jin Bing's arrows were like flying locusts, and every time Yang Zaixing was hit by an arrow, he broke the shaft of the arrow and continued to kill the enemy. It's like heaven and man coming into the world. The gods are awe-inspiring. After Yang Zhuanglie was martyred, Jin Bing burned his body, and burned more than two liters of iron arrowheads.

Although Yang Zaixing died in battle. Horse leather shroud, but its fierceness, its bravery, is extremely shocking, although this battle made countless descendants choke, but played the spirit of a Chinese man, it is really invincible although tens of millions of people go to me!

Therefore, although in the repertoire, it is impossible to reproduce the scene of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, but the audience's requirements for the interpretation of Yang Zaixing's martial arts are naturally very high, and Yang Xiaolou is the real master of spearmanship.

Therefore, whenever Yang Xiaolou is surrounded by other actors on the stage, he unfolds the incomparable Yang family's marksmanship one by one, he will basically win a burst of applause first, and then use a spear to dial out more than a dozen short rods one by one, or simply use the spear to brush the strength, stick two or three short rods under the gun head, and fly and rotate with a brush, as a long spear alone to break through the array of thousands of arrows, it is easy for the audience to feel Yang Zaixing's invincible skills and his military formation of 10,000 people. The invincible spirit of assassinating the enemy general is like probing for things, although he dare not say that it is unprecedented, but it can be regarded as the first in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the second half of the play, Yue Fei led the troops Zhu Xianzhen to avenge Yang Zaixing, and defeated 100,000 Jin soldiers, attracting the righteous son of Jin Wushu 6 Wenlong to come to help.

This is another wonderful fight scene based on two guns.

Whether it is in the play or Yue Quanchuan, it deliberately highlights that the 6 Wenlong double gun technique is difficult to break and unstoppable, not only Yue Fei is not an opponent, but even the four fierce generals under his command Yan Zhengfang, Yue Yun, He Yuanqing, and Di Lei, with eight sledgehammer cars, fought 6 Wenlong, and they couldn't even win.

The four fierce generals and the eight hammers are all martial artists who specialize in practicing hammer techniques, and cooperate with Yang Xiaolou's double-gun technique of walking alone in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, in this big scene, the requirements for singing are very low, but the requirements for playing are extremely high, even if they are martial artists who run tricks, they also need deep martial arts skills in order to cooperate with Yang Xiaolou's dragon like shooting skills going to sea.

When other opera troupes perform this scene, they mainly focus on the 'doing' of body movements, but when they arrive at the Yang family class, they need to 'fight' with real knives and guns.

Yang Xiaolou was born with divine power, and he has practiced the Yang family's big gun for many years, so he usually uses the real ash pole Yang family big gun in this repertoire, which is twice as long as the Peking Opera short gun used by other peers.

In this scene, in addition to performing a wonderful Yang family marksmanship for the audience in the first half, he also had to perform a double-gun technique in the second half, so as to take down the sledgehammer in the hands of the four fierce and eight sledgehammers one by one, and with his superb skills and natural divine power, he also rotated the sledgehammer on the big gun more than a dozen times before it could be thrown outward, and let the opponent's martial arts just take it in his hand, which is considered a success.

This is the reason why Yang Xiaolou can perform this drama so well, and it is also the symbol that he is unique in the pear orchard and is known as the Grandmaster of Wusheng, and it is also the reason why Yang Meng took a fancy to this scene as a compulsory course for everyone.

First of all, you can bring the big gun used in actual combat into the troupe without any suspicion.

In addition, he also set his sights on the actors and props of the Eight Sledgehammers.

Eight sledgehammers, are hollow hardwood hammers painted on the outside, inside can hide intelligence and even a few pistols are more than enough, as for the real hammer method, although there are not many practitioners in the martial arts today, but don't forget that the five elements hammer in jì Taijiquan is a combination of hammer and boxing to show the fierce boxing technique, in terms of Yang Meng's martial arts attainments today, arranging a set of hammer skills to deal with ticket holders, it is simply overkill.

"Since the students' marksmanship can't catch up with Yang Xiaolou, let them work the hammer method, and strive to perform the dragon set of the eight hammers in actual combat effect......

The wooden eight hammers were originally only three or four catties heavy. Yang Xiaolou held a big ash pole gun, shot down one by one in the wheel battle, and even played with the gun, requiring strength, accuracy and familiarity with the big gun, but under Yang Meng's construction, everyone replaced the wooden hammer the size of a small cylinder with a hollow sledgehammer......

"The heavier the weight of the sledgehammer, the less suspicious it is, not to mention the less easily the metal hammer shell is destroyed, and the more space it contains. Able to carry more stuff ......"

With Yang Meng personally teaching the Tai Chi Five Elements Hammer that integrates 'fighting' and 'practicing'. Not only did all the students learn attentively, but even Yang Xiaolou unconsciously learned this practical boxing technique, which was soft when he practiced, but fierce when he fought.

"The strength of this Tai Chi Five Elements Hammer is the same as the Yang family's marksmanship and even the strength of the Eight Great Guns. It's a truth......"

Although Yang Meng said it lightly. But after he replaced the wooden hammer with a hollow sledgehammer of more than a dozen catties. This so-called hard-working practice method is naturally much more difficult than empty-handed boxing, not to mention Yang Xiaolou's action requirements for everyone. It turns out to be more difficult than gun practice.

Even the students of the martial arts class have quite attained martial arts skills, but it is simply unbearable to practice slow Tai Chi boxing with a hammer of more than ten catties all day and night, not to mention that Yang Meng at first in order to save money, he also deliberately replaced the students who did not have a sledgehammer with a twenty-pound stone lock, and strictly stipulated the boxing force range of each punch, the position of the punch and even the height of the stone lock swing.

"Only students who have used the stone lock for fifty consecutive times are qualified to practice with a sledgehammer......"

"I've seen Mu humanely, but I don't seem to have seen Instructor Yang hate lewdness (ruthless) like this, this kind of hard practice is simply more hateful (ruthless) than King Jing Yan......"

This is what a certain student from Shaanxi Province said when he complained to the student who visited him when he was recuperating after a training exercise.

Similar complaints and private curses are not a lot in the mouths of those reckless men, and even Yang Xiaolou, who has to accompany the students every day to pick up a sledgehammer with a big gun, can't help but have some resentment in his heart.

It's a pity that as an instructor, Yang Meng didn't care about these at all, but after practicing with the students for two days, he replaced the stone lock he was holding in his hands with a thirty pound one, and then five days later it was a fifty pound stone lock, and one practice was a day, so that these martial arts class men who had already understood that they were definitely not 'advanced students' had no choice but to accompany him to continue to practice every day......

"Mad Monkey...... Instructor, these days, I see that the students have basically mastered the Yang family's marksmanship, and even the Tai Chi hammer method has been practiced well, or I will go back to the capital with a few little apprentices first......"

Looking at Yang Xiaolou, who was a little unbearable on his face, and began to call himself a crazy monkey like everyone else, Yang Meng smiled at first, but then said solemnly: "I know that Brother Yang blames me for being a little unkind to these students, but if you don't work weekdays, if you lurk in the drama troupe in the future, you may expose your identity because of a moment of negligence, and even lose your life, and even implicate your Yang family class...... You say I'm doing this to them now...... Is it really too much? ”

Yang Xiaolou is only in his twenties now, but the big gun kung fu on his body all relies on natural divine power, because he is not very good at swallowing qi, and now he has not touched the threshold of dark energy, and after listening to this boxing master who is a few years younger than himself, he can be regarded as really convinced: "Crazy monkey is too worried, if you say so, those brothers' Yang family marksmanship is really a few more days of practice, before Yang Zaixing's posture and demeanor can be practiced into the bones......"

Yang Meng raised his hand and hugged his fist, and said sincerely: "In this way, Mr. Xiaolou will be more tired, and then train these rough people in the martial arts class for a few days, and by the way, take Wu Lingxian's swords and horses from the liberal arts class, I think they may have practiced a lot of literary and wine dramas recently, and when they practice boxing on weekdays, their hands and feet are a little soft......"

Yang Xiaolou looked at the serious Yang Meng, and felt a wry smile in his heart, but he had to turn his head and walk towards the Danjiao training class, but he didn't take two steps, and then Yang Meng added another sentence: "A few days ago, I taught Mr. 's big toad, and if I have time, I will also teach it to those two stunned people who can't wake up all day......"
