Chapter 33: Wine Monk, Grandmaster, Selfless.
Chen Kang analyzed the martial arts styles of Jin Fengjin, Meng Meng, and Hao Erdu last night, but he didn't gain much.
If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher.
That's true.
However, you also have to meet people who are stronger than yourself before you can learn.
Chen Kang is stronger than them, and he will definitely not be able to learn advanced martial arts skills from them.
Meng Meng's stick skills and Hao Erdu's wrestling made Chen Kang gain some knowledge.
But Chen Kang can't learn Hordu's skills.
Hordu's body is majestic and tall, born with divine power, and talented, which is God's reward for eating.
Chen Kang is of medium stature, and he will definitely not be able to imitate his wrestling skills.
"There are not many martial arts masters in the capital, who are more powerful than me." Chen Kang said secretly, "If only I could meet them." ”
Chen Kang guessed that Duanwang's martial arts might be above himself.
After all, Duanwang is the number one master of the Eight Banners.
However, when he can finely control the muscles and tendons of his head and become a martial arts master, Chen Kang will no longer be afraid of Duanwang.
The next morning.
Chen Kang had breakfast and was ready to rush to the Cao Gang.
A drunken monk came to Chen Kang's residence.
Chen Kang stared at the monk with a solemn look in his eyes.
The monk is only about 1.68 meters tall, slightly fat, with a smile on his face, and harmless to humans and animals.
But Chen Kang knew that this monk was a martial arts master and was not easy to mess with.
"You are Chen Kang?" The monk asked.
Chen Kang nodded and said, "It's Chen." What does the master do? ”
The monk said: "The poor monk came to the east, and there was a nickname of 'wine monk' in Sijiu City. ”
Chen Kang said: "It turned out to be the strongest guard in Yongning Gege Mansion. ”
Xiang Dong said, "Yesterday, you defeated the three wastes around Gege. Today, let the poor monk see your martial arts. ”
Chen Kang said: "Master, if you want to fight, no problem. If Chen is lucky enough to win a move and a half, I hope to exchange martial arts experience with the master. ”
Xiang Donglai was stunned.
Chen Kang's request is really weird.
Xiang Donglai has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has never met a person like Chen Kang.
Xiang Donglai said with a smile: "Want to learn my martial arts boxing? No problem, I'll talk about winning the battle. However, if you lose, go and play for Yongning Gege. ”
Chen Kang said: "Then come on." ”
Chen Kang's body is flexible and fast, and he arrived in front of the eastbound in a few steps.
Xiang Donglai squatted slightly, and resisted Chen Kang's attack with a horse-step fist.
Changquan, Huojiaquan, Hongquan, Eagle Claw Boxing...... Chen Kang continued to probe and greeted the east with various moves.
Coming to the east is like a tumbler, and the horse's steps are terrifyingly steady and solid as a rock.
Xiang Donglai sneered: "You know how to do martial arts, there are really a lot." It's a pity that it's not very useful for poor monks. ”
There are not many boxing skills in the east, only one set of Luohan boxing and horse step pile gong.
In addition to "wine increase", there is also a little-known name for coming east, not falling Arhat.
If it doesn't fall, it means that the horse steps to the east are powerful. Luohan, naturally, refers to Luohan boxing.
The horse step and Luohan fist that came to the east were extremely pure, and many martial arts masters were defeated by his horse step.
Chen Kang and Xiang Donglai are both masters of close combat.
The horse's step kung fu coming to the east kept approaching, specializing in the next three roads, disrupting Chen Kang's footwork rhythm.
In this way, Chen Kang's "roots" are cut off.
The "root" in martial arts is the center of gravity.
Once the center of gravity is destroyed and the position is unstable, it will either be dead or disabled.
Chen Kang lifted his left foot and retreated, but Xiang Donglai seized the opportunity to hit his right leg with a knee, followed by another punch to Chen Kang's chest.
Say it's too late, then it's too fast.
A series of attacks coming eastward were actually completed at the same time.
So that Chen Kang did not react.
Boom.
Chen Kang was knocked out of the air.
Chen Kang's psychological quality is excellent, his expression has not changed, and his eyes are calm. Spun around in the air a few times, landed steadily, and stood firm again.
Chen Kang had an iron cloth shirt to protect his body, and his unloading skills were skillful, and he was not injured.
Xiang Donglai was surprised: "Chen Kang, your martial arts are not under the poor monk. It won't break you. If I had met you a few days ago, I wouldn't have been sure to win you. Now, you're no match for me. ”
A few days ago, Xiang Donglai made a breakthrough in martial arts and reached the realm of a grandmaster, and his strength was mixed into one. Although his physical fitness has not been greatly enhanced, he has improved his technique to the next level.
Because of this, it is confident to come east.
Chen Kang said secretly: "What a powerful monk. He's the best opponent I've ever faced since I started martial arts. His strength is too pure. ”
After dozens of moves.
Chen Kang felt that Xiang Donglai's fine control of power was not below him.
Moreover, the horse step pile coming to the east is too stable, and Luohan Boxing has reached the level of combining rigidity and softness, and is superb.
Coming to the east has a lot of practical experience.
As long as you don't make mistakes when you come to the east, then there are no flaws. Chen Kang had nothing to do with him.
It's just too tough.
"Grandmaster." Chen Kang said secretly, "Xiang Dong is definitely a martial arts master. However, even if I am a grandmaster, I dare to fight! I want to know how much difference there is between my strength and that of a martial arts master. ”
Xiang Donglai smiled slightly and said, "Chen Kang, what are you doing in a daze?" Fight me, you're still distracted. Is it to look down on poor monks? If you don't attack, the poor monk will attack it. ”
Coming to the east, he took a quick step and rushed towards Chen Kang. With each step, the ground shook slightly.
"Down-to-earth?"
Chen Kang said secretly: "Yes, the horse-step kung fu coming to the east just gives me a down-to-earth feeling." ”
"Close to the close, I don't have an advantage."
"Then, I'll fight."
Chen Kang changed his battle strategy, no longer confronting Xiangdong head-to-head, but adopting the thinking of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance." Start fighting.
Although Chen Kang's footwork is also stable, it is stable and flexible, which is still a little different from the horse step kung fu coming to the east.
Because, the horse step pile gong coming to the east is more stable than Chen Kang's footwork.
If you can't win than stability, then you can only be more flexible.
Guessing that Xiang Donglai was a martial arts master, Chen Kang did not think about winning, but promised that he would not lose.
Bang bang bang......
Chen Kang and Xiang Donglai fought inseparably.
Chen Kang gradually adapted to the rhythm of the attack coming east.
Chen Kang performed flexible butterfly steps, circling eastward, constantly swimming.
I was a little dizzy when I went around to the east.
Xiang Donglai said secretly: "Chen Kang's body is too flexible, this guy is just like a spirit monkey." I just arrested him. ”
Steadiness is the biggest advantage of coming east, but it is also a major disadvantage.
In fact, the characteristics of the martial arts coming to the east are not suitable for attack, but for defense.
Chen Kang relied on his flexible footwork and gradually grasped the initiative. The amazing horse-step kung fu to the east is useless.
"No more fighting."
Xiang Donglai retracted his fist and said angrily: "Chen Kang, your style of play will only go around in circles, not your real ability." Even if it is in the afternoon, you and I will not be able to tell the winner. There is a kind of fight, let's have a good fight. ”
Chen Kang moved flexibly, making Xiang Donglai a little aggrieved, and he felt that he had nowhere to go.
Chen Kang said: "The master's martial arts are better than mine. Hard-hitting, I'm not a master's opponent, I can only rely on my body to fight. In terms of martial arts, it was Chen who lost. ”
The martial arts that came to the east, Chen Kang was convinced.
Actual combat is only one part of martial arts. What Chen Kang really values is the part of physical fitness.
The secret method of breathing, training skills, and fine control of his own strength are what Chen Kang wants.
Xiang Donglai's degree of control over his strength, and his physical fitness is indeed above himself.
Chen Kang admits defeat and does not lose face.
Chen Kang took the initiative to admit that he lost, which made Xiang Donglai feel a lot more comfortable.
Xiang Dong said, "Chen Kang, your martial arts are not weak. In my opinion, you are one step away from the realm of the grandmaster, right? If you can't beat me, I can't help you. This battle can be considered a draw. ”
Xiang Dong is also an open-minded person, who eats soft rather than hard.
Chen Kang took the initiative to admit defeat, and he no longer argued about winning or losing, but recognized Chen Kang's martial arts.
Chen Kang said: "Master, I want to exchange breathing techniques and boxing techniques with you, and exchange martial arts experience. '
Xiang Donglai stared at Chen Kang and said, "Breathing techniques and force techniques are the foundation of martial arts. Don't pass it lightly. ”
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Because of this, I exchanged with the master, not asked for it. Master, do you know how long I've been practicing martial arts? ”
Xiang Dong said, "At least thirty years, right?" ”
Chen Kang has gray hair and looks like he is in his forties.
Based on common sense, it is very reasonable to start practicing martial arts at the age of seven or eight to lay the foundation, and Chen Kang has been practicing martial arts for 30 years.
Chen Kang shook his head and said, "I have been practicing martial arts for less than two years. ”
Xiang Donglai exclaimed, "Impossible! ”
Chen Kang's face was calm.
Xiang Donglai stared at Chen Kang and asked, "Chen Kang, did it really take you less than two years to become a half-step Grandmaster?" ”
Chen Kang nodded and said, "That's true." ”
Xiang Dong said, "How did you do that?" ”
Chen Kang smiled slightly.
……
Two hours later.
Xiang Donglai took a sip of tea and said, "Chen Kang, I have already told you all the breathing techniques and power skills of Luohan Boxing. It's time to tell your martial arts secrets, right? ”
Chen Kang said: "There is only one mystery in my training, and that is 'concentration'. ”
Xiang Donglai wondered: "Concentrate? ”
Chen Kang nodded and said, "It's just concentration." I don't understand. I play a set of boxing techniques, and the master can observe them carefully. ”
Xiang Dong said, "Okay. ”
Chen Kang stood up, walked to the courtyard, and brewed his emotions for a while.
Soon.
Chen Kang entered a state of concentration.
Chen Kang was engrossed in the Hong Fist.
Xiang Donglai stared at Chen Kang, shocked in his heart: "Body and mind are one, there is no self and no appearance." I didn't expect that the state of mind of 'selflessness' mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures really exists. ”
Chen Kang's concentration is already preoccupied, without distractions, which can be called "self-forgetfulness".
Chen Kang's mental state at the moment is a bit similar to the "selflessness" in the Buddhist scriptures.
A set of Hong punches is finished.
Chen Kang exhaled a breath of turbidity, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Master, this is the secret of my martial arts cultivation. ”
Xiang Dong said, "The realm of selflessness. Terrific. Chen Kang, you said before that you would become a half-step Grandmaster in two years, I don't believe it, but I believe it now. In the future, your achievements will definitely surpass mine. It's a pity, I can't learn your skills. ”
The most painful thing in the world is that you know that knowledge is in front of you, and you know what is going on, but you can't learn it.
……
Chen Kang sent him to the east to go out.
Xiang Dong said: "Chen Kang, Gege has taken a fancy to your ability. We people who practice martial arts are not extraordinary, and we still have to eat, drink, and sleep. When you enter Gege's mansion, you can get offerings, which is not a bad thing. ”
Chen Kang said: "Master, I have my own ideas, and I have no plans to work for Yongning Gege for the time being. ”
Xiang Donglai nodded and went back to the Yongning Gege Mansion to resume his life.
Chen Kang was excited in his heart, and said secretly: "The Arhat Boxing coming to the east is likely to be the authentic Arhat Boxing of Shaolin Temple." Otherwise, the breathing method would not have been so complex and perfect. ”
Chen Kang originally thought that he would not be able to become a martial arts master until Chen Zhengying and Yang Yuqian came to the capital and had the opportunity to learn the breathing method and force skills of Taijiquan.
I didn't think about it, and I met Xiang Donglai in advance.
Learn the breathing techniques and power techniques of Luohan Boxing.
Chen Kang is sure that he will become a martial arts master within a month.
