Chapter 96: Looking for the heirs of the Mo family

China's swordsmanship began to appear in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and records of swordsmen began to appear in historical books. Gou Jian, the famous king of Yue in Chinese history, who took revenge and returned to the country, once invited a swordsman who lived incognito in the mountains and forests to teach his soldiers swordsmanship. This Yue Nu is not only proficient in swordsmanship, but also has a set of theories. She said that swordsmanship seems to be simple and easy, but the truth in it is profound and subtle, with the opening and closing of portals, and the changes of yin and yang. When fighting with a sword, you should have enough spirit, calm appearance, and look peaceful and peaceful, like a quiet girl, and once you fight, you know that you are as fierce as a tiger. Such a swordsman can be a hundred, a hundred into a thousand.

Swordsmanship not only played an important role in killing enemies on the battlefield of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but also was a performing art...... During this period, whether it is a battle or fencing entertainment, the quality of swordsmanship is related to the life and death of the fighter, so this is a very practical combat technique of swordsmanship, without the slightest flashiness. In martial arts, they often deceive the opponent with feints first, and wait until the opponent starts to move before moving themselves. If you don't move, you are in a hurry, and when you move, you are as quick as lightning, so that although you are a late attacker, you often hit your opponent before you do. ("Zhuangzi.") Speaking of the sword')

The dance of receiving weapons had a new development in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and became a kind of entertainment in the army. In 206 BC, Xiang Yu's advisor Fan Zeng in order to get rid of Liu Bang, who was competing with Xiang Yu for the world, Xiang Yu entertained Liu Bang at a banquet. signaled his subordinate general Xiang Zhuang to assassinate Liu Bang during the banquet. Thereupon. Xiang Zhuang is famous for dancing swords. Dancing towards Liu Bang with a sword, preparing to find an opportunity to stab in the sword dance. At this time, Xiang Bo, another general of the Chu army who sympathized with Liu Bang, was not in a good situation, and under the pretext that dancing alone was not as good as dancing in pairs, he hurriedly pulled out his sword and jumped into the middle of the dance in Xiang Zhuang, secretly using his body to protect Liu Bang ("Historical Records. Xiang Yu Benji'). This is the famous story in history, "Hongmen Banquet". "Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, meaning Pei Gong" has been handed down as an idiom. This shows that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, there were already some routines practiced with weapons. This routine can be practiced not only by one person, but also by two people. Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Bo were both warriors in the ranks, so it is likely that their sword dances were performed in strings of familiar combat moves. Unearthed

In the portraits of the Han Dynasty, you can also see a variety of more complex martial arts movements in the form of sparring, such as: lunge piercing spear, leaping forward stab, resting step sword, lunge block and so on.

In order to deal with the cavalry of the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty also developed an army with cavalry as the main force. The cavalry engaged mainly slashing, and there were few stabbing movements. As a result, the ring-handled knife replaced the sword, which greatly reduced the use value of the sword on the battlefield. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ring-handled knife almost completely replaced the sword and became the main short weapon in the army.

The decline of the sword's status on the battlefield has made the atmosphere of fencing popular in society. Everyone likes fencing and wears swords, and swordsmanship has improved greatly. From the emperor to the civil and military officials, each of them hung a sword around his waist ("Book of Jin. Yufu Zhi'). Although since the Han Dynasty, the social atmosphere of emphasizing literature over martial arts has been formed, but the scholars at that time were not at all like those weak white-faced scholars in the later period of feudal society. The ancestor of the famous historian Sima Qian was famous for teaching swordsmanship in Zhao Di; Dongfang Shuo learned fencing at the age of 15; When he was young, Sima Xiangru, a great writer, not only liked to read, but also liked fencing. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the learned Confucian scholar of Bohai County was invited to meet a high-ranking official, and the gatekeeper asked him to untie his sword, and Jun Budo replied very resolutely that the sword was a weapon used by a gentleman to defend himself, and he could not solve it ("Hanshu. Legend of the Faithful'). Chen Shou wrote that he was in "a peaceful world and the sword is inseparable from the body" ("Three Kingdoms. Wu Shu. The Legend of the Owner'). During this period, there were also many articles dedicated to fencing methods, and according to the "Book of Han", there were 38 such articles, but unfortunately all of them were lost later. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, swordsmanship had further development. There were many skilled fencers, who traveled far and wide to teach swordsmanship. For example, during the reign of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty (147-189 AD), in the capital Luoyang City, a swordsman named Wang Yue was very famous and taught many apprentices.

The Tang Dynasty was a grand dynasty in Chinese history, especially in the more than 100 years after the founding of the country. The sluggish and weak atmosphere of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties was swept away, and the whole society was full of thriving and vigorous masculinity. The literati of the Tang Dynasty not only used the pen to praise the military life of soldiers, swords, bows and horses, and wrote a large number of poems, but also loved martial arts very much, holding a pen in one hand and a sword in the other. Li Bai, known as the "poet immortal", loved fencing at the age of 15, traveled far away with a sword at the age of 25, traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, and "learned swords to Shandong" at the age of 36. He was not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also good at riding horses and archery.

The folk martial arts of the Tang Dynasty took a big step forward in the direction of routines and entertainment, which was prominently manifested in swordsmanship. Before the Tang Dynasty, there were already various manifestations of entertainment, such as the Song people named Lanzi during the Warring States period who could play with seven swords at the same time, during which there were always five flying in the air, some like today's acrobatic performances. This kind of performance reached a very high level in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu", there is a vivid description of walking the rope while doing this kind of sword-throwing performance. In the Tang Dynasty, the sword-wielding dance became a social atmosphere, and friends also danced the sword when they feasted and drank, such as the great poet Li Bai whenever the wine was hot, he drew his sword and danced. ("Jade Pot Yin") "Thousands of miles of horizontal singing to explore the tiger's den, three cups of drawing swords and dancing dragon springs", "singing to get drunk and masturbate, dancing the sunset to fight for glory ("Nanling children enter Beijing"). Li Bai's swordsmanship reached a very high level, and when he danced and whisked his long sword, "all four raised their eyebrows". Even Du Fu, who was frail and sickly, also "opened his arms and drank my wine" when he was young. Drunken fencing dragon roar. ”

But since the Don. The psychology of the scholar is full of Taoist gods and demons, evil spirits and ghosts. The sword is transformed into a weapon to suppress evil spirits, and if these few feet of rigid iron are cast into the shape of a sword, it is the one with supreme magical power. So the family hung a sword, that is, thought it was auspicious, did not learn swordsmanship, but thought that the sword could defeat the enemy. So since the Tang Dynasty, swords are short soldiers. There is one that is used by the Buddha and leads astray. Since the soldiers used more swords than swords, there were more swordsmen than swordsmen, which had a considerable hindrance to the development of swordsmanship.

In the Tang Dynasty, sword-wielding dancing became a social custom, and friends also danced swords during banquets and drinks. Du Fu's "Sword Dancing Weapon Xing" describes the sword dancing skills of Gongsun Auntie: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun clan, and a sword dance moved in all directions. The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. If Yi shoots nine sunsets, it is like a group of emperors and dragons; Come like the river and the sea condense the clear light. "The sound and light of the sword seem to be heard. Craftsmanship is as it is present. Aunt Gongsun's sword dance is because it is a dance. It requires a high degree of artistic processing, which is completely different from martial arts, that is, there is a large gap between swordsmanship and actual combat technology, which is obviously different from the swordsmanship routines developed with the theme of attacking and defensive fighting, but the high development of sword dance also provides important prerequisites for the development of swordsmanship later.

In the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang's "Wubei Zhi" recorded the usage of the sword: cross left strike, cross right strike, wing left strike, reverse scale thorn, open belly thorn, double Ming thorn, spin style, royal car grid, limelight wash, etc.

The Ming and Tang Dynasty Shunzhi's "Martial Arts Edition" said: Song Taizong "selected hundreds of warriors from all armies to teach them to dance swords, all of them can throw swords in the air, jump their bodies left and right to bear it, and it is incomparably wonderful." Will be Beirong bereaved to repair the tribute, give the banquet to the palace, because of the swordsman to show it, the drum bath, wave the blade in, jump and throw, frost and snow blade, flying in the air. These superb skills had a great influence on the later development of swordsmanship routines and performance skills, and they were also seen in the martial arts routines practiced.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a book by Song Tsaifeng's "True Legend of Swordsmanship". Swordsmanship has become synonymous with the practice routine of swords, and it is listed as a martial arts competition in country C. Various moves, balances, somersaults, shapes and other actions have been added, so that swordsmanship has developed greatly.

The sword was produced in the Shang Dynasty, which was shorter, in the shape of willow leaves or acute triangles, and was originally made of copper. After the Han Dynasty, copper swords were gradually replaced by steel swords and tended to be stereotyped. The sword, is the ancestor of the short soldier, the weapon of close combat, with the profundity of Taoism, because of its lightness, the look of wear, and the swiftness of use, so the princes and emperors of the previous dynasties, the scribes and knights, the merchants and the common people, are not proud of perseverance. Since ancient times, swordsmanship has often been on the battlefield, dominating the martial arts, establishing a country, and practicing benevolence and righteousness, so it is loved by the world.

The sword is one of the four famous weapons in ancient China, known as the "king of a hundred soldiers". In ancient times, the sword was a weapon of war, with a sword edge and two edges, and it was used to avoid the knife when it was strong, and it was not hard to hit or strike. Practice "the sword is like a swimming dragon". With a bit of gentleness and elegance. Its usage has stabbing, splitting, hanging, pointing, collapse, cloud, wiping, piercing, pressing, etc., on the basis of swordsmanship with sword fingers, plus a variety of footwork, step, jump, balance, rotation and other actions constitute the routine of swordsmanship The scope of swordsmanship is different from that of other cultures. For example, in ancient Western times, there were only double-edged and straight swords, and for Westerners, the sword was also defined as a type of sword. Even the names "Saber" (single-edged saber) and "Falchion" (single-edged scimitar) are classified as "swords" in Western culture. In Japan, for example, there is no distinction between swords and swords, and the Japanese word for "kendo" or "swordsmanship" is actually a two-handed sword technique that was passed down to Japan during the Tang Dynasty in China. However, in Chinese culture, the sword and the knife are two different weapons, and the sword is specifically used to refer to the "double-edged straight blade", while the knife refers to the "single-edged curved blade". The sword can usually perform three types of attacks: interception, slashing, and stabbing.

The sword is an important part of Chinese martial arts, and has a high status in the traditional martial arts of country C. Since ancient times, the chivalrous man wears a sword, the elegant and noble wears a sword, and the general commands the sword, which shows that the sword is the essence of martial arts culture and a measure of the depth of kung fu. The swords are struck; splitting, stabbing, pointing; Teasing, collapsing, intercepting, wiping, wearing, picking, lifting, twisting, sweeping, etc. The characteristics of swordsmanship are: light and agile, chic, elegant, there is a saying that "the sword walks the American style" and "the sword is like a flying wind". According to the practice, swordsmanship is divided into line swords, potential swords, two-handed swords, long spike swords, double swords, backhand swords, etc. There are many swordsmanship routines, the common ones are: self-selected swordsmanship, Qingping sword, Wudang sword, Sancai sword, Sanhe sword, cloud dragon sword, Bagua sword, Taiji sword, praying mantis sword, through arm sword, drunken sword, Xuanhua sword, seventy-three sword, dragon-shaped sword, Qimen thirteen sword, Baihong sword, pure yang sword, seven-star sword, etc.

Today's martial arts world swordsmanship is headed by martial arts, Taoist martial arts, if you reason. Boxing comes first. Swordsmanship should follow. But according to the actual situation since the Qin and Han dynasties. In Taoism, swordsmanship precedes boxing. In the Chinese martial arts world, Wudang school swordsmanship is longer than boxing, and there is a saying of "Shaolin boxing, Wudang sword" since ancient times.

Wudang swordsmanship: "The key to practicing swords, do not stagnate, the body and the sword are combined, the sword is combined with the god, and there are swords everywhere without a sword." If you can know this meaning, you can build a road. "It is divided into three sets of swordsmanship, paying attention to the multi-purpose of one sword, changing in motion, and Qi Zheng is born together. With the thirteen laws as the core: point, collapse, teasing, hanging, cloud, wiping, sweeping, wearing, blocking, circle, collar, splitting, belt through it, the sword is like a dragon's line, the beginning and the end are corresponding, the rigidity and softness are combined, and the charm is leisurely.

Wudang sword not only inherits the characteristics of China's traditional swordsmanship, but also forms a unique style in theory and technology. In "National Art Recognition", it is called "Taiji waist, Bagua step." It's really a unique sword technique."

(1) Due to changes in the enemy, the law is not formalized. This is the strategic guiding ideology of Wudang sword, and it is also the theoretical essence of China's swordsmanship. Wudang sword is based on skill and routines. Loose swords for use. Its theory is based on the principles of change such as Tai Chi and Bagua in ancient China, and advocates that "swordsmanship is easy to change", "change, the general name of change, change at any time, is from the way of heaven", and believes that infinite change is the law between heaven and earth, and it is also the law that guides swordsmanship. Therefore, from a strategic point of view, it is emphasized that "the sword has no law, and the victory will be won because of the change of the enemy." "The key to using the sword is all in the observation of change, the other moves slightly, I move first; If you move, you will change, and if you change, you will change".

(2) Take advantage of the gap and avoid the blue into the red. This is the tactical principle of Wudang swordsmanship. It advocates following the trend of people and borrowing the power of people; Wait for the move, the last to come. When fighting, avoid the real and attack the false, take the right obliquely, outflank in a roundabout, and the two swords become horns (that is, the so-called triangular trick of the sword), "so that the enemy can not be good behind". It also stresses that "no matter what kind of weapon, two charges, the great interception of each other, the fight against each other, and the victory of each other." It's only the swordsmanship, which is absolutely different. When the confrontation is not intercepted, it is not welcomed, it is not a fight, it is a blow out of thin air, and all of it hits, and the name is called: 'not stained with green, and the door to the line' is also". The so-called "non-staining" refers to not fighting for the opponent's weapons with hard force; "Into the Red Gate" is to point out that the sword sees the line and hits with one blow. This kind of swordsmanship of avoiding reality and avoiding fiction, two sword triangles, waiting for work at ease, and striking after the first strike is usually called "inner swordsmanship".

(3) The body and the sword are combined, and the sword is united with the spirit. This is the essence of the technique of the Wudang sword. It emphasizes the body to carry the sword, the body, footwork, and swordsmanship are integrated, the body is like a dragon, the sword is like electricity, the footwork is flexible, and the body is flexible, so it is called "Taiji waist, Bagua step". It also emphasizes the sword god one, the mind, the god, the sword, the force through the sword, the air through the sword end; In and out of the vertical force, so that the sword is like a spear. The spirit, mind, energy, and strength run through the swordsmanship. In silence, we must maintain full attention, calm and calm, and wait for the opportunity to embarrass the spirit; In the movement, it is necessary to concentrate on the void, perceive the opponent, and change the strain to achieve the purpose of taking advantage of the void, hitting every shot, and winning the battle.

(4) Walk and turn around, light, steady and fast. This is the swordsmanship characteristic of Wudang Sword. Wudang sword is known for its rich and varied swordsmanship, not only changing from front to back, left and right, but also a variety of swordsmanship of flying and dancing and rolling on the ground. No matter what kind of swordsmanship, in the advance and retreat of the rotation, it is required to be light and steady, moving like a light wind, steady as a mountain, and coming at a moment's notice. "Turning the sky and startling the birds, rolling on the ground without dust. In one blow, it was like a breeze without a sword; In the midst of all changes, but no one is seen when I see the sword light. The song is not only a praise for the "wonderful hand" of the Wudang sword, but also a portrayal of its fast swordsmanship.

The ancient swordsmanship masters are: 1, Situ Xuankong - a person from the Warring States Period, Situ Xuankong, his surname is Bai, Mingshikou, the word Yisan, the ancestor of Emei martial arts, one of the three major martial arts holy places in China, the founder of ancient Wutong back boxing, and the first person in Chinese martial arts recorded in history (Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, God of War Chiyou, Gonggong, Xingtian and other legendary characters are not considered). Because Situ Xuankong loves to wear white clothes, the disciples call him "White Ape Ancestor", and he created his own ape swordsmanship, which was passed on to Yue Nu Aqing, and later generations called it Yue Nu Sword, three thousand Yue Jia, learned his swordsmanship, and destroyed Wu State.

2, Gai Nie - a man at the end of the Warring States Period, a master of swordsmanship, once discussed the sword with the peerless assassin Jing Ke, and scared Jing Ke away with angry eyes, there is no doubt that he is a well-deserved sword saint in both literary novels and historical reality.

3, Pei Min - a person in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had three uniques, Pei Min's sword, Li Bai's poems, and Zhang Xu's words. Pei Min's swordsmanship: Throwing the sword into the clouds, dozens of zhang high, if the electric light shoots down, the sheath is carried by the hand, the sword enters through the air, and the audience is thousands of people, all of whom are cold and frightened (personal estimates, Pei Min is only afraid that he has reached the realm of the legendary sword qi out of the body).

Pei Min is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also in archery. When he was young, he was a military envoy to Longhua. Defend Beiping. There are many tigers in Beiping. He once killed thirty-one tigers in one day, and it is rumored that a divine tiger fell from the sky, Pei Min took a bow and shot an arrow, the bow broke the tiger and died, and Pei Min never shot a tiger again. In middle age, he was the governor of Andong Prefecture (equivalent to the current commander of the Northeast Shenyang Military Region, and also supervised the administration of the Northeast region. ）

If Gai Nie is revered as a sword saint by later generations, then Pei Min is a real and well-deserved sword saint. Li Bai was successful in swordsmanship at the age of fifteen. began to tour the great rivers and mountains with a sword, and fought chivalrous and righteous, breaking out the name of the poetry and sword fairy, and his swordsmanship was learned from Pei Min.

Mozi wrote as many as seventy-one books. There are fifty-three articles, and among the twenty articles on the art of war, there are signs, orders, models, techniques, offense and defense, tactics, etc.; Mozi swordsmanship, with the sword straight cut, fast chopping and quick cutting, to defend as the attack is famous all over the world, such as non-attacking swordsmanship, Shangtong swordsmanship. The swordsmanship he taught his disciples was all practical moves. The main moves are: splitting, stabbing, pointing; flirting, collapsing, intercepting, wiping, wearing, picking, lifting, twisting, sweeping; Mozi is strictly disciplined and absolutely obedient. The practice of activism in the face of death has formed a chivalrous group, and the fighting spirit of only succeeding and not failing has left a lot of heroic deeds. When he failed, he committed suicide and apologized to pray for the spirit of death that would be passed down through the ages, so later generations of swordsmen respected Mozi as a martial saint, but this is also one of the reasons why the Mo family was almost lost.

The real Mojia swordsmanship is completely derived from actual combat, just like Mozi's "City Guard" chapter, which is the experience of defending the city through countless battles of all sizes. The swordsmanship of the Mo family has also been tempered by countless disciples of the Mo family, and has undergone the baptism of blood and fire, the cultivation of sweat and tears, every move, every internal strength, is the hard work of the disciples of the Mo family. Because the Mo family chivalrous warriors can always defeat their opponents in every battle, and there is a finger sword qi sword on the shelf as the final killer weapon, so it has been passed on by history more and more, and it has become a sword fairy knight by false rumors.

Compared with the Mind Energy Field Qi Sword made by Gu Xiaolong, the Mo family's finger sword qi dart can only be said to be still in a slight peep at the door, the so-called finger sword qi dart is to hurt people with internal qi, and it can hurt people within a certain distance. Moreover, due to the fact that the Mo family's finger sword qi dart has been lost for a long time, it has been passed on to modern times, and it may be that the internal strength practice method can no longer be used as a qi sword, so it can only be used as a life-saving move, and it is never easy to show people.

And such as the Qi Imperial Sword in the Ming and Qing Dynasty novels such as the Lord of the Pearl Mansion, it is not a problem for Gu Xiaolong at all, why use it to hurt people with the air sword, but Gu Xiaolong still gave the Mo family heirs an intentional demonstration, only to see that Gu Xiaolong just used the cup split by the Mind Energy Field Qi Sword, and transported the neutrino size Zhou Tianzhen Mustard Seed Rice Mind Energy Field Internal Strength, and ran half of the cup all over the house, running at a speed close to the speed of light. In the end, Gu Xiaolong simply put down his hands, and just used his mind to move this half cup in the room quickly, and he would definitely not touch anything in the room, and finally landed in the same place, seeing that the heirs of the Mo family were dumbfounded, and the feelings in his heart were self-evident.

This is the use of qi to control things with qi, even flying flowers and picking leaves can also hurt people, what sword fairy knights, it turns out that they are some tricks to deceive people, and they must have profound internal skills, in order to truly achieve the realm of controlling things with qi and sword.

After Gu Xiaolong finished the demonstration, he said to the two Mo family heirs: "Dear Uncle Zhai's seniors and big brothers, can you let me take your pulse to see your internal strength, and then see if I can help you improve?" As soon as Gu Xiaolong's words came out, the young man was immediately overjoyed, because he had heard many times that the "Tai Chi Young Heroes" had improved the internal strength of various major sects, and immediately replied first: "Okay, okay!" Thank you so much! He kept turning around to look at Uncle Zhai's face, and that Uncle Zhai was also happy, but he was not as stable as the young man, he nodded implicitly, and stretched out his right hand to Gu Xiaolong to check the pulse.

Gu Xiaolong held the pulse of the two of them one by one, the pulse was false, the instillation skill was true, an unstoppable pure internal force, a steady stream of input from the pulse of the two, walking the second pulse of Rendu, piercing the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, rushing to the perineum on the door, accumulating strength to break through the jade pillow pass in one fell swoop, returned to the dantian, turned left thirty-six times, turned right thirty-six times, and finally integrated the mustard rice, and suddenly dispersed the big Zhou Tian, and finally returned to the dantian, forming a real mustard rice, Gu Xiaolong also helped them continue to run three times, He stepped aside.

At this time, the descendants of the Mo family continued to operate in the same way that Gu Xiaolong ran his internal strength, until he completely reached the purity, and both of them stood up, and they were about to give Gu Xiaolong a heavy salute when they reached the ground, but they were supported by Gu Xiaolong with internal force. Gu Xiaolong smiled and said, "Dear Uncle Zhai, you can try the current finger sword and see if you can continuously complete a set of sword techniques." After speaking, he stepped aside, waiting for Uncle Zhai to use the Mo family's sword.

Uncle Zhai stabbed out with a starting hand, and a thin transparent line shot straight ahead, shooting directly at the cup that Gu Xiaolong had split just now, smashing the cup with a bang, and then splitting, stabbing, and pointing; Teasing, collapsing, intercepting, wiping, wearing, picking, lifting, hanging, sweeping, and the moves are all nirvana, it is conceivable that the Mo family swordsmanship is completely a nirvana sword, the sword of actual combat, a set of swordsmanship, Uncle Zhai's internal force still has room for it, which fully shows how full the internal force instilled by Gu Xiaolong, and the two Mo family heirs have sufficient capital to inherit the Mo family's martial arts and chivalry.
