Chapter Twenty-Six: Fuhan and Xinghua

Eighteen palms of the dragon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shuchong was learning at a rate of about one move a day.

The first move of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, Kang Long has regrets: the left leg is slightly bent, the right arm is bent inward, and the right palm is drawn in a circle and pushed outward. The stronger the internal force, the more fierce this move is, and the pure internal force palm force hurts the enemy, without any skills. The eighteen palms of the dragon descending are the most rigid palms, the most rigid is the fiercest, and the first to the extreme is the softest. Kang Long's regretful "regret" is to let beginners know that the dragon descending palm method is not blindly strong, let alone an uncontrollable trick. Kang Long's repentance move is mixed with two kinds of strength, both positive and negative, which is the basis for practicing other dragon descending palm techniques.

The following moves are: flying dragon in the sky, see the dragon in the field, Hong gradually in the land, the hidden dragon do not use, the benefit of the river, suddenly, shocked a hundred miles, the fish leaps in the abyss, the double dragon takes water, or the more in the abyss, when the six dragons, the dense clouds do not rain, the loss is Fu, the dragon fights in the wild, the frost and ice to, the sheep touches the Tibetan, and the dragon swings its tail.

After the full set of palm studies, it took Li Shuchong twenty days. Li Shuchong traveled through the past four times in a row to study, and only then did he learn the eighteen palms of the dragon descending. However, Li Shuchong is still a fast learner, Guo Jing started with him, and now he has only learned the tenth palm of Shuanglong to take water.

When he crossed over to Jiangmiao Town for the fifth time, he directly chose the review stage half a month later, at this time, Guo Jing had only finished learning the first fifteen palms of the eighteen palms of the dragon, and Hong Qigong cheered up and pointed out to Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Li Shuchong the way to deal with the enemy and defend themselves and save their lives. Li Shuchong not only consolidated the eighteen palms of dragon descending, but also completely learned the martial arts tricks taught by the six heroes of Jiangnan.

During the period when Li Shuchong came to Jiangmiao Town to learn martial arts for five consecutive nights, during these five days, Li Shuchong's martial arts interest group enrollment was also in full swing. On Saturday and Sunday, Li Shuchong and Qin Wen discussed it together, they decided not to set too high a threshold, and there were no restrictions, as long as it was a student of this school, there was no limit to grade, no age limit, as long as the third class in the afternoon could ask for leave, and then practice for two hours with high intensity, thunder could not be moved every day, no absences were allowed without extremely special circumstances, rain or shine, thunder could not be moved. When you can't hold on, you don't have to come, but you don't have to come again. At the same time, the cultural class must also keep up, and it is necessary to ensure that the performance of the cultural course does not regress, otherwise the Qing will quit the martial arts interest group.

Registration is open from Monday to Wednesday. Due to the word of mouth, everyone knows that Li Shuchong, the "glasses man", has a unique skill, in addition to the amazing internal strength, there is also a peerless martial art of flying eaves and walking on the wall, so from the first day of registration, there are many people who come to admire. But the first and only condition of the martial arts interest group turned many people away. This condition is actually very simple and not harsh, that is, students who are ready to register need to receive a printed consent form and bring it back for parents and class teachers to sign together. Li Shuchong's move is really helpless, in China, especially in schools, many things are often done into bad things if they are not spoken in advance.

There are more than 20 classes and about 1,000 students. At first, there were more than 600 students who were interested in signing up, and obviously, many girls also actively signed up, as for whether they wanted to learn martial arts or wanted to get close to the "glasses man", there was no way to verify. It's a pity that a threshold that can't be smaller can be smaller, and it actually blocks the martial arts road of more than half of the people. Parents have a lot of concerns, afraid of delaying their children's learning, afraid of their children bleeding and injured, afraid that their children will never be able to take it back if they play wildly, and afraid that their children will like to dance with knives and guns when they grow up in the future...... The head teacher also has a lot of concerns, afraid that the top students will become poor students and will not be admitted to a good school, afraid that the poor students will not obey the discipline in the future, afraid that the students will become gangsters and will not be able to explain to their parents, and afraid that no one will be in class in the third class and will be criticized by the principal...... All in all, less than 100 people actually signed up the next day. The third day was not much, only more than 60 people. After the registration deadline, a total of 162 people registered.

Li Shuchong particularly emphasized that those who practice martial arts attach the most importance to their character, and they must not deceive, and when the time comes, they must verify each one, otherwise they will be severely punished. In addition, people who practice martial arts pay special attention to respect for teachers and filial piety, and when practicing for the first time, parents must be present at the scene, and at the same time, Li Shuchong invited school leaders and class teachers and teachers of various subjects to come and observe.

On Wednesday afternoon, Li Shuchong's martial arts interest group was held on the school's playground.

Under the attention of the principal and teachers, Li Shuchong talked eloquently.

Li Shuchong first explained the two purposes of setting up a martial arts interest group: First, it is to make the descendants of Yan and Huang, especially the relatively weak Han people, strengthen their bodies, enhance their blood, backbone, and heroic spirit, and strive to reproduce the demeanor of their ancestors in the Han and Tang dynasties; second, on the whole, when the youth is strong, the country will be strong, so that the Chinese nation will be truly strong from the bones. To put it simply, one is to support the Han, and the other is to prosper.

Li Shuchong said affectionately: The Chinese nation in the pre-Qin period was a very strong nation that developed martial customs and spirit. From kings to nobles to commoners, both warriors and literati, as long as they were men, they all loved swords. The ancient literati were not equated with pure scholars, most of them had a samurai side, and even rangers. Their swords do not leave their bodies, their bodies do not leave their horses, their muscles are very developed, they don't need to look left and right when they see unevenness, and they don't blink their eyes and draw their swords to help.

Confucius was nine feet six inches long, good at archery, hung a long sword on his waist all the year round, and excelled in martial arts. He himself led 72 students on a tour of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. The hardships along the way are probably no less than Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West". Tang Sanzang had three apprentices by his side, all of whom had unique skills and great powers. Although there were a lot of people around Confucius, they were only students, and if they were like the later scholars of the Song and Ming dynasties, all of them were weak, then in the middle of the study tour, the masters and apprentices would have been put down by the robbers. However, Confucius has been studying for decades, and we have not heard of any robbery and murder, and some of the students were malnourished and starved to death, but none of them fell under the sword of the bandits. This shows that Confucius's apprentices were not only a group of students, but also a group of swordsmen. Seventy-two swordsmen, plus a strong man teacher, such a group of literati, which robber dares to provoke?

As we all know, one of the important reasons why the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were strong was that the combat effectiveness of the army was extraordinary. Take the Tang Dynasty as an example, the indispensable factor why the Tang army has strong combat effectiveness is the high quality of its soldiers. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army's combat effectiveness was extraordinary, which was closely related to "cultural people as soldiers". In terms of the composition of soldiers, the army in the Tang Dynasty was mostly "intellectual youth", so the quality of soldiers was extremely high. The soldiers of the main force of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty were mainly composed of the sons of the good family in Guanzhong and the young nobles of the naturalized Hu people. Most of them have received a good cultural education and have a strong sense of national identity and honor, while the young nobles of the naturalized Hu people are not less educated, and most of them have an almost religious worship of the powerful Tang Dynasty, trying to gain Tang recognition by fighting desperately. The same is true of the Western Han Dynasty.

This was not the case in the Song Dynasty. "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail" - this is a popular saying originating from the Song Dynasty. The Song government encouraged "beggars" and "idle people" to serve as soldiers, and did not advocate intellectual youth to serve as soldiers, in order to prevent mutinies and coups (Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin became emperor through the Chenqiao Mutiny, and he was afraid that others would also play his routine, so he "applied for a patent"), and once and for all, he pointed out the country. In this way, the "homeless" and the lower-class "idlers" constitute the main source of troops. During the famine years, the Song court recruited thousands of exiled peasants into the forbidden army or the box army. A large number of soldiers have nothing to do for a long time, and they are idle, and the quality of the army is extremely low. This was the fundamental reason why the Song Dynasty was defeated again and again in the face of foreign invasions.

Finally, Li Shuchong reminded the students that both civil and military training is a test for every student, especially at the beginning, many people will be very uncomfortable. However, as long as you can persist for one year, you will definitely be able to be strong and strong, and basically you will not be invaded by all diseases; those who can persist for three years will definitely be able to be as light as a swallow and walk on the wall; and those who can persist for ten years will be able to take charge of your own affairs, not to mention that they will be able to fight against ten by one.

At the end of the mobilization meeting, with the consent of the school leaders (he is also a fan of Jin Yong), Li Shuchong performed real kung fu, only to see him come to an old house waiting to be demolished on the edge of the playground, and perform a trick "Kanglong has regrets", "boom", and a big hole was opened in the brick wall.

The students were all boiling, shouting loudly, "I also want to learn to descend the dragon eighteen palms"!
