Seeing that Yang Guo had comprehended the softness, Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "It's indeed possible, since you have comprehended the softness, you think you will be able to achieve a combination of rigidity and softness in the near future." What Master is telling you today is this way of rigidity and softness. ”
Saying that, Fang Zhixing said to Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng: "Senior Hong and Senior Ouyang are here, and the junior will tell me what they have to say, and please correct the two of them!" He had been in contact with these people for a few days, and he also wanted to have in-depth exchanges and explore the path of martial arts.
Ouyang Feng's injuries have not healed now, so he is naturally noncommittal. Hong Qicheng was closing his eyes and recuperating, and nodded slightly when he heard the words, indicating that he knew. He also admires Fang Zhixing's martial arts knowledge these days and wants to hear his opinions.
Fang Zhi got up and paced, took a few steps, organized his words, and said to the three of them: "Those who are rigid and soft, yin and yang." Therefore, this way of rigidity and softness is the way of yin and yang. The Book of Changes says, "Rigidity and softness push each other, change is in it", the combination of rigidity and softness, just like yin and yang, can derive countless changes. And when applied to martial arts, countless kung fu can also be derived. ”
Several people know this, Fang Zhixing didn't say more, and said: "Purely in terms of rigidity and softness, I think kung fu can be divided into three paths: rigidity, softness, and rigidity and softness. ”
"Since all three can reach the pinnacle, then why does Master still let me comprehend the combination of rigidity and softness? Isn't it better to keep taking the path of toughness?" Yang Guo said in confusion when he heard this. Fang Zhixing let him understand the way of combining rigidity and softness, he took it for granted that the combination of rigidity and softness should be more powerful, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Before Fang Zhixing could answer, he heard Hong Qigong say: "Silly boy, who in the world do you say can reach the highest level of rigidity?"
Yang Guo thought about it for a while, but it was difficult to answer. Although Ouyang Feng's toad skill is strong and fierce. However, it combines the methods in the Reverse Nine Yin True Scripture, so that the stamina can be endless. And Hong Qigong's eighteen palms of dragon descent are even more rigid and soft, so that there can be more than enough. The stamina is also endless. Both seem to be strong and strong, but in fact they are not. thought of the scene where Fang Zhixing fought with Hong Qigong with an iron palm. He also had a faint understanding in his heart. Iron palm kung fu can be said to be the most rigid in the palm technique, but it is not inferior to the eighteen palms of the dragon descending that combines rigidity and softness, and it is obviously because of this.
"Now I understand! The eighteen palms of the dragon descending from the old name are neither rigid nor soft, although they are used by the old called to be fierce, but the strength left inside is more, it can be said that it is a combination of rigidity and softness. There is also the Kongming Fist that you and your master practiced, which can be said to be the softest boxing technique in the world. If you let the old naughty boy do it, the old man can't be sure of it. Hong Qigong took a sip of wine and said to Yang Guo. For what Fang Zhixing said, he also vaguely guessed a few points. The way of rigidity and softness is most obvious in fist and foot kung fu, Hong Qigong practiced the eighteen palms of the dragon, of course, he had a deep understanding of this.
"Then what if someone can really achieve supreme rigidity?" Yang Guo asked without giving up.
Hong Qigong laughed and did not answer. Seeing this, Fang Zhixing said: "The most rigid one, the most great one." It may seem simple, but no one can do it. After all, manpower is sometimes poor, how can it be rigid over everything, greater than everything? But it's really ethereal. ”
Yang Guo also came back to his senses when he heard the words and knew the meaning of his master's words. Manpower is sometimes poor, and if he keeps pursuing toughness, he will eventually reach the limit and will never be able to progress again. Moreover, simply chasing the rigidity cannot complement each other with rigidity and softness, and may not be able to cross a certain threshold. From this point of view, it is no wonder that Fang Zhixing made him comprehend the softness.
"Since Zhigang can't be reached, then Zhirou shouldn't be able to reach it either, right?" Yang Guo thought for a moment. Again.
Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "What I just said is absolute rigidity and softness. Naturally, no one can achieve that. However, if it is relatively speaking, it is not impossible. After all, there are so many people in the world. If someone can be stronger than everyone else, it can be said that they have reached the highest level of rigidity. Correspondingly, if someone is able to restrain everyone with softness, then he has attained the highest level of gentleness. Of course, these are relative rigidity and softness, not absolute rigidity and softness. ”
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing explained to him again: "You know the meaning of 'emptiness' in Kongming Fist, right?"
Yang Guo replied when he heard this: "Master once said that the intention of this empty fist is like a bowl, and only because the bowl is empty in the middle can it have the function of serving rice. Therefore, when we use our fists, we can only empty the enemy's strength only because our strength is empty, so that the enemy will naturally not be able to hurt ourselves. ”
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "That's right, Master Zhou's skill is about the same as that of Senior Hong, if he uses the Empty Ming Fist, can he empty the strength of Senior Hong?"
"Since the skill is comparable, Zhou Zengshi's uncle is able to empty the strength of the old man Hong!" Yang Guo replied when he heard this. Zhou Botong, as the founder of Kongming Fist, is much higher than others in the realm, not to mention that he and Hong Qigong's skills are comparable, but they are a step apart, maybe they can also empty the strength of Hong Qigong and others.
"So, has Uncle Zhou Zeng's ancestor reached relative softness?" Yang Guo said again.
"Yes, the old urchin is undefeated!" Hong Qigong sighed when he heard this. He heard the conversation between Fang Zhixing and Yang Guo, and of course he understood the meaning. The old urchin was about the same as his own skills sixteen years ago, although he made progress after practicing the general outline of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", but the other party had to read the entire "Nine Yin True Scripture", and he would definitely not be slow down in his entry. Back then, Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi and others couldn't break the Kongming Fist, and now they naturally can't. In this way, the old urchin can already be said to be invincible. The martial arts of the five people are about the same, and since the old urchin is undefeated, he can at least be tied for the first place with others. Although he no longer pursues the first place in the world, he can't help but feel a little melancholy when he thinks about it. After the first Huashan sword debate, he pursued this for more than 20 years, and now it seems that he is indeed a little worse.
Fang Zhixing smiled slightly, and said: "That's not necessarily, Master Zhou's current state of mind is still hindered, and he has not yet fully reached the realm of emptiness, when he meets someone, then he will really run away!"
Hong Qigong also knew the story of the old naughty boy and Aunt Ying, and laughed when he heard this: "Yes, if the old naughty boy meets Aunt Ying, he will lose without fighting!" Although he knew that Fang Zhixing was joking, he couldn't help but echo it. Aunt Ying's martial arts are not first-class, and in the eyes of these people, it is naturally not worth mentioning, but the old naughty boy is extremely afraid of her because he is ashamed in his heart.
"Among the top five masters today, Master Yideng and Huangdao Master practice fingering for the time being, and among the three people who practice fists and feet, Ouyang's predecessor's toad gong is the ultimate rigidity, but because it is integrated into the reverse nine yin scriptures, it cannot be said to be purely the supreme rigidity from the toad gong. And the eighteen palms of the dragon descending of the old Hong's predecessors are the kung fu of both rigidity and softness, and the Kongming fist of Zhou Shizu is the softest kung fu. The three of them are indistinguishable, and they have all reached the top realm in the world. The three kung fu skills of toad gong, eighteen palms of dragon descending, and Kongming fist can also be said to be the top mastery in the world!" Fang Zhixing said again.
"What about Master's Heavenly Stem Five Elements Fist?" Yang Guo asked.
Fang Zhixing smiled slightly, and said: "My Tiangan Five Elements Fist is naturally also a combination of rigidity and softness, otherwise the master would not be like the old man Hong to ask for advice on the eighteen palms of the dragon." It's just that Hong's seniors' palms focus on toughness, and mine pays more attention to the change of strength, and both have their own emphasis. ”
"Which is more powerful, Master's Heavenly Stem Five Elements Fist or Senior Hong's Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descent?" Yang Guo asked Fang Zhixing again. Although he knew that Fang Zhixing and Hong Qigong had been tied several times, he couldn't help but ask.
Fang Zhixing laughed and said: "There is no high level of boxing skills, and there are high and low skills. If it is in my hands, it will naturally be no less than the eighteen palms of the dragon descending of the predecessors of Hong, and in your hands, it is estimated that the seniors of Hong will not use this set of palms. ”
Yang Guo scratched his head when he heard this, and he was also quite ashamed, knowing that he had asked a mentally retarded question. Hong Qigong, as the top master in the world, in addition to using the eighteen palms of the dragon descending when facing masters of the same level, how can others let him use this set of palms.
"Although the boxing method is not superior, it can indeed be roughly divided into several levels according to the change of rigidity and softness. Ordinary fist and foot kung fu aside, first-class kung fu can be roughly divided into three levels. First, ordinary first-class martial arts, such as the Mixed Yuan Palm passed on to you by the master, the Heaven and Earth Network Potential, etc., can generally be regarded as this level. Second, first-class mastery, such as Xingluo Hand, Frost Breaking Ice Palm, Luoying Divine Sword Palm, etc., can be called first-class mastery, and if practiced well, it can also be used to compete with masters in the world. Third, it is this top-level mastery, such as Toad Gong, Kongming Fist, and Iron Palm Divine Skill, which can be regarded as top-level mastery, and the Mianzhang and Iron Palm of the teacher can also reach this level after being completely created. And like the first palm method in the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, the first palm method of Donkey Kong boxing, the same level of martial arts, can theoretically reach the state of rigidity or softness. ”
"What about the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending?" Yang Guo asked. Just now, Fang Zhixing also compared the Toad Gong, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending, and the Kongming Fist, but now he has removed the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending Palm, and added Qiu Qianren's Iron Palm Divine Skill, which made him feel a little puzzled.
"Eighteen Palms of the Dragon...... That's a different kind of palm. Fang Zhixing sighed slightly, and said to Yang Guo: "This eighteen palms of the dragon can at least reach the highest rigidity, so at least it can be ranked with the toad gong and the empty Ming fist, and if you continue to practice, you can also achieve the highest rigidity and softness, not to mention how powerful it is, but in the realm, it is better than those kung fu." "According to the power and realm of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, it can indeed be called unparalleled in the world. (To be continued)
