Chapter Fifty-Eight: Family Tradition
At that time, I didn't have a deep entry into the industry, thinking that everyone in the industry should be either Buddha or Tao, until I had more contact with people in the industry, I realized that in fact, there are not a few atheists in our industry.
Take the old family as an example, our magic inheritance comes from Taoism, but the ancestor does not believe in the gods, because in the eyes of the family, no matter what kind of sect, its mythological system is slowly formed after its establishment, and the so-called gods are the embodiment of faith, they are just a kind of spiritual sustenance, in fact, they do not exist.
I remember Lao Zuo said a few years ago, he said, they send their souls to believe in life, and also believe in the cycle of heaven, but they are not sure if there are gods in the world, if there are really gods in this world, there is really a netherworld, why are there so many ghosts and evil corpses wandering in the world?
Actually, I forgot exactly what he said, and he forgot it himself, but that's probably what it meant.
The argument between the second master and the old man did not come to any substantive results, and the old man seemed to be bent on proving the existence of the Netherworld to the second master, but the second master didn't believe it anyway.
That night, he was a little deflated, and the second master also looked upset.
I knew that from that night onwards, something in the second master's heart was broken, and so did I.
If Sun Chuansheng made me change my perspective on the world, then tonight's experience planted a seed in my life.
When it grows into a tree in my heart now, my whole life will be turned upside down.
The second hour after Lao Zhi returned to the cabin, Dawei and Jin Xiangqian also returned, and I also heard Dawei say later that Lao Zhi had taken them out of the forest farm and arrived on a nearby hill.
The old man had to set up a magic circle there, surpassing the fools and ghosts in the old forest.
I remember that the second master said that the inheritance of the old man comes from Taoism, and in the past, I thought that only people from the Buddhist family could transcend the dead, but I didn't expect that Taoism could too.
The next morning, after we had a hasty breakfast, the second master took me into the depths of the forest and began to pass on my bone-destroying hands and teeth dismantling eight styles.
To tell the truth, the second master is not a competent and good teacher, he is a very contradictory person, on the one hand, he told me whether it is practicing kung fu or cultivating magic, I must be gradual and not too radical. But on the other hand, he always wanted me to grow up quickly, and even did not hesitate to help me grow.
In just one morning, the second master taught me the routines of the bone-destroying hand and the eight styles of tooth dismantling, and the two sets of boxing moves are very simple, the second master practiced four or five times I can remember a rough idea, the difficult thing is the intention, he repeatedly said the two sets of scriptures many times, but I can't digest most of the content, and he doesn't explain too much, just let me understand it myself.
"Practice makes sense." This is the sentence that the second master said the most, and he told me that if I want to integrate the two fists, I must go through actual combat.
From October in '06 to now, I have been practicing these two sets of boxing for ten years, and I can't say that I am perfect, but I can also be regarded as a perfect master.
After all, it is my own mastery, for these two sets of boxing, I originally did not plan to mention too much, but Lao Zuo resolutely disagreed, he said, if we do not make a general exposition of the bone destroying hand and the eight styles of tooth splitting, every time I write about the bridge between me and others, there will be insurmountable bottlenecks.
He thinks about how to write a good story, and I think about how to protect my legacy.
Lao Zuo was very eloquent, and every time there was a disagreement, he was able to persuade me patiently.
He told me that even if I can't tell everything in the inheritance, at least I have to make a painless summary, and instructed me not to hide it in the future, my experience, my feelings about some things, and those inheritances that are not passed on to the outside world, can be said, and he will help me organize it into a reasonable text as appropriate, that is, not to reveal too many secrets, but also to make the reader acceptable.
I believe that Lao Zuo has this ability, and I also believe in his personality, and after most of the morning's psychological struggle, I finally accepted his proposal.
I decided to open my heart and say everything in my heart, I think Lao Zuo is right, there are some things, if I don't say it now, maybe in another ten years, they will be completely forgotten.
Let's talk about the bone destroyer first, it is the most classic set of boxing methods of the old couple, and it is also the basis of the eight styles of tooth splitting.
When the second master passed on my boxing, he once said ten words: "If you don't see red, you will urge it when you are bone." And these ten words are also the biggest characteristics of the bone-destroying hand.
The so-called bone invigoration means that once it is used, the opponent must be seriously injured by the muscles and bones, but from the outside, there is no external injury on the flesh and skin, and there will be no bruises even on the place where it is hit.
Maybe it's the destiny of heaven, in the old family, every two generations, there will be a junior who can practice the bone-destroying hand, and now looking at the entire family, the only ones who can perform this set of punches are me and the second master.
Practicing this set of boxing methods requires extremely strong physical fitness, because the bone destroyer is originally a boxing method of "killing a thousand enemies and self-damage eight hundred" all the way, if you hurt the enemy, you will also be injured, if you don't have a super strong physique, even if you practice this set of boxing, you can only perform it once or twice in a year, if you meet the enemy like me and the second master, you will use the bone-destroying hand, it will take less than half a year to be paralyzed because of the dislocation of the meridians, and the rest of your life is destined to depend on the wheelchair.
When the bone-destroying hand is cast, the force is divided into three parts, one receiving, one shot, and one shocking. Practitioners need to temper their bones and muscles for many years, and when they don't exert force, they are full of toughness, and when they exert force, they must be as hard as a steel cone, and they are indestructible. Every part of the body must become a weapon to urge life.
When the body touches the other party, it relies on footsteps, body methods or muscle contractions to make the body surface and the other party a distance of about an inch.
One shot, is to instantly concentrate the power at one point, impact the opponent, the way of force is similar to the collapse of the fist, most of the other boxing methods are an inch long and an inch strong, an inch short and an inch dangerous, the bone destroying hand is completely opposite, the inch is short and strong, the inch is long and dangerous, the reason is because there is a shock in the hand of the bone destroyer.
A shock is the last stage of the three stages of force, the so-called shock, that is, when the fists, legs or other parts of the body come into contact with the opponent, repeatedly send and receive force, forming a shock, and breaking the opponent's bones through the skin and muscles.
Listen to the second master, the bone destroyer in the early years is actually a set of soft boxing, but somehow, the spread has become what it is now, the old boxing book says, this set of boxing is to overcome the rigid with softness, the first to come, but the new boxing book also said, this is a set of boxing methods that take the fierce road, pay attention to the enemy's first opportunity, first strike, first come, seize the opportunity.
When performing the Bonebreaker, the speed of the shot must be limited to 0/1 second, giving the opponent no time to react.
And in order to make my shots fast enough, when the second master trained me, he required me to throw twelve heavy punches in one second, and punching with all my might at such a fast speed often caused a large tear in my shoulder muscles.
After my body gradually adapts to this intensity, the next step is actual combat training, the second master said, when I shoot, I must reach the realm of "heart and spirit are one, qi and strength are one", as long as the mind moves, it is bound to hit the other party, and to achieve such a state, I can only rely on actual combat to stimulate my combat instinct.
In addition to the forced quick punches and actual combat, in order to let me learn to destroy bones in a short period of time, the second master also specially prepared two other types of training: hard and soft strikes.
Hard blow, is to use any protective fist to break the solid magnetic egg, this kind of magnetic egg is smelted with a special magnetic powder, the hardness is very high, the first time I hit this thing, the ring finger of the right hand and the index finger of the left hand were broken at the same time, ten fingers connected to the heart, that feeling, it was painful.
The soft blow, which is wearing a 30-ounce oversized boxing glove to hit a magnetic egg wrapped in layers of sponge, heavyweight boxers generally wear no more than 20 ounces, and 30-ounce gloves are worn on the hands, as if they had two volleyballs wrapped around their wrists.
The reason why the second master designed this kind of training is so that I can learn to increase the power of the shock when the fist pressure is dispersed, once the magnetic egg wrapped in the sponge layer is broken, the bone destroyer can be regarded as an entry.
Let's briefly talk about the three fixed moves in the Bonebreaker hand.
This kind of boxing method can be said to be meticulously crafted in terms of force, but if you talk about the moves, it seems to be relatively rough, or in other words, the moves in the hands of the bone-destroying hand are only a conceptual thing, not a specific boxing routine.
There are three types of bone-destroying hands, which are the standing type, the jumping type and the cone type.
Standing style, to put it bluntly, is to step on the ground with both feet to exert force, kick the ground, force the whole body, and concentrate the whole body strength at one point to burst out.
The jumping type is to take off in the air, exert force at the moment of falling, and use its own strength and weight to suppress the opponent, the greater its own strength and weight, the greater the power.
The cone type is to use the meat as a cone when fighting closely, relying on the contraction of muscles to exert shock, so as to destroy the opponent.
After talking about the bone-destroying hand, it is easy to summarize the tooth splitting eight styles, because the power of this set of punches is the same as the bone destroyer, the only difference is that the tooth splitting eight styles can be used with the teeth.
The eight types of tooth dismantling are divided into upper four dismantling and lower four dismantling.
On the four demolitions: walking, falling, drilling, smashing.
The next four dismantling: walking, locking, drilling, sweeping.
Walking, that is, probing the elbow and walking the arm, first attack and suppress the opponent with the elbow, destroy the opponent's midline defense, and then attack the midline.
The so-called wrestling is a variety of wrestling methods, and the second master has combined some techniques of Mongolian wrestling in this boxing style, and has greatly improved the power of the bone-destroying hand.
Let's talk about the drill in the four demolitions, you can understand the word "drill" as a tricky drill, which is the only technique that is out of the bone-destroying hand in the eight styles of tooth dismantling, and it is also the least commonly used technique, because it specializes in hitting the opponent's life, it is easy to make a mistake, and when you shoot, you pay attention to surprise, and launch an impact from the opponent's blind corner of the eye, and kill with one blow.
As for smashing, this is easy to understand, this technique is almost the same as the jumping style of the bone destroyer, except that you don't need to burst out with full force when you cast it, but it requires faster and more accurate, to put it bluntly, it is to sacrifice strength in exchange for speed.
Walking in the lower four demolitions is the same as the upper four demolitions, rushing to the knees and legs, breaking the defense with the knees, and injuring the enemy with the toes.
The lock is also a variant of the fall, the fall is to lift the opponent into the air, and then smash it to the ground, while the lock is to press the opponent to the ground, using both hands and feet to lock the opponent's joints.
The drill in the lower four demolitions and the upper four demolitions are exactly the same, except that one uses a fist and one foot.
Sweeping, which can be roughly understood as sweeping the legs, is to use the strength of the lower limbs to disrupt the opponent's balance. The second master said that low kicks are very important skills in actual combat, but I rarely use low kicks, it should be said that I rarely use my legs, and I use my fists a little more.
In fact, a discerning person should be able to see that the second master's set of tooth demolition eight styles is aimed at the opponent's defense everywhere, and it is associated with the tooth demolition eight styles that were created by the second master after fighting with Chai Zongyuan, so I think Chai Zongyuan must be a master of defense, and the "smashing" in the upper four demolitions does not hesitate to sacrifice strength in exchange for faster speed, and his body and speed must be faster than that of the second master.
Although the second master kept saying that the bone-destroying hand and the tooth splitting eight styles are two sets of hard-hitting and fierce boxing techniques, in my opinion, they are not like boxing, but more like two rough martial arts systems, although rough, but indeed very practical.
