Chapter 2 Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong
"Chef, it's time!" Bai Ya suddenly put down the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at the big fat man with a barrel in the kitchen.
"Xiaoya, I'm busy today, so I might stay one more...... Oh no, half an hour?" the big fat chef wiped his greasy palm on his apron and raised a fat index finger with a sneer, "How about I ask the second shopkeeper to change your white chips for red chips today?"
"Drunk Tonight" is a medium-sized restaurant in Liangzhou City, which is open for twelve hours a day.
The main personnel in the building, such as the shopkeeper, the chef, and the bookkeeper, are divided into two shifts, and the main laborers such as the cook, knife worker, bowl worker, cousin and man are in three shifts. Like other restaurants in Liangzhou City, they also lack manpower.
Baiya's knife work is fast and steady, and the speed of running and delivering is fast, one top three or four others.
Since he came, the people in his class have been much more relaxed, and naturally the chef on duty has always been asked to stay a little longer.
It's a pity that Bai Ya doesn't need this kind of attention, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he was silent, and looked at the chef in a daze, which made the big fat man suddenly helpless, so he had to wave his hand to let him leave.
Drunken Tonight Restaurant uses red and white chips to calculate wages, white chips are fifteen dollars, and red chips are twenty dollars. But Baiya is not short of money, and he has to go back to practice, so naturally he is not greedy for this small profit.
Although he is a black household, Liangzhou City is short of labor, and in order to attract foreign workers, he is very strict with merchants and oppressors of small workers. Once a labor dispute arises, even if one party is a black household, as long as it does not violate the contract signed by itself, the government judgment will be biased in favor of the laborer.
There is a place to live in the backyard of the restaurant, and Baiya does not have a house in the city, so he lives here now.
Back in the room, he took out his bag from under the bed and looked at the contents a little stunned.
Before he knew it, he had traveled to this world for half a month, and he still had no clue how to find the imaginary portal to the otherworld. Although this period of time is not very long, what happened during it is like a dream.
Bai Ya knew that he could no longer be an outsider who watched coldly, and everything in his baggage proved the traces he left in this world.
A dragon's eye-sized red sandalwood elixir, which was the product of the fragments of his soul combined with the film of the world when he crossed over. Although Bai Ya faintly felt that eating the pill would be good for him, but now it was good to be free of illness and disaster, so he really didn't dare to eat it casually.
The two Buddhist scriptures entrusted by Huikong, "Lengyan Sutra" and "Jialan Neijing", which recorded the Vajra Mahamudra and the nameless mind. The little King Kong Pill has been eaten, and only the relics of the great monk and the statue of the Arhat who descended the dragon and subdued the tiger remained.
A piece of animal skin given to him by the lame three, which recorded a ghost foot skill, combined with the boning knife method that the third master had taught him, Bai Ya was sure that this should be all that the old man could give him.
The last black-covered martial arts classic was obtained from the enemy of the Black Tiger, and it was the "Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong" that Dwarf Zhizi was good at. Although the two do not share the sky, martial arts are martial arts and have nothing to do with personal feelings, and he does not exclude the practice of the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong.
In addition to these martial arts classics, there are also two money bags and a short knife with a fishskin sheath.
The money bag contributed by the black tiger is not much, but the old man Tao's money bag has thirty taels of gold and a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, which should be used to buy off the black tiger's commission, and in the end it is cheaper for Baiya.
However, the money was still not as precious as the dagger.
The old man Tao is a famous knife casting master, and the short knife blade he used to protect his body is like a water stream, with a moderate thickness, and the handle is about a foot long and three fingers wide. Although it was lighter than Bai Ya's usual bone chopping knife, the blade was narrower, which weakened the power of the slash, but it greatly accelerated his knife speed.
When he was drunk to help cook in the restaurant tonight, Bai Ya consciously gave up the thick-backed bone chopping knife and began to get used to using a kitchen knife with a narrow blade and a lighter weight.
Among these martial arts, there is the first one of the Vajra mudras that lie on the pile to enter, he has been insisting on practicing, but the results are not great, and the other four pile drawings often can't hold on for half an hour.
It's not that Bai Ya lacks the perseverance to practice martial arts, but that his body has gradually strengthened his pain and body touch since he left Shiyangji.
Despite this, through the practice of these pile diagrams, Bai Ya can still find that his body muscles that he has not exercised before are gradually increasing his strength and flexibility.
This made Bai Ya realize that the reason why the Vajra Mahamudra had not been able to completely get started was because his physical condition was not up to the requirements, not because his practice was wrong.
Compared with this, Bai Ya's cultivation of the Ghost Foot Skill and the Five Broken Tiger Claw Skills is a long way.
The reason why the Ghost Foot Gong can be cultivated smoothly is that piece of animal skin plays a vital role.
It is different from the Vajra mudra that describes the exercises briefly, not only does the animal skin record the exercises and moves, but also the lame three is afraid that he can't understand it, and a lot of experiences and summaries are added later, so that Bai Ya understands the main points of this martial art very thoroughly.
Because he has to deliver a lot of takeaway in the restaurant, the basic steps of the ghost foot gong have been thoroughly mastered, but the muscle strength of the legs and feet is not enough, and there is no harm for the time being, and he still needs to persevere in cultivation.
The weirdest thing is that Bai Ya feels that the biggest harvest is actually the black leather book obtained from the black tiger.
This martial arts secret book not only records in detail the illustrations and general outlines of the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong, but also writes a lot of martial arts knowledge on the Black Tiger, which makes Bai Ya seem to open a door to the martial arts realm of this world.
According to Black Tiger in the classics, the martial arts of the Shenzhou world are very different from the martial arts imagined by Bai Ya, it is not the martial arts described in the world of Bai Ya, and the more accurate description should be the immortal martial arts, the martial arts of the immortal family that can transform into immortals and shatter the void.
Xianwu has two parallel and staggered systems, the first system is martial arts skills, and the second system is the martial arts realm, and the two are inseparable from each other.
The martial arts skills of Xianwu do not only refer to martial arts moves, but refer to the degree of understanding and evolution of the entire set of martial arts by practitioners, which are divided into seven levels: a little understanding of the skin, basic entry, entering the room, practice makes perfect, integration, returning to the basics, and consummation of merits.
The level of "knowing a little about fur" is like Bai Ya's mastery of the Vajra Mahamudra, he has already memorized the entire exercise, and can adhere to a kind of lying pile for a long time. If he waits until he can stick to the other four pile diagrams for a long time, it can be regarded as a "basic primer".
The level of "entering the room" requires the cultivator to practice martial arts to achieve certain results, at least it is not a showmanship, and it can be used in actual combat, so it can be called "entering the room".
As for "practice makes perfect", in the description of the classics, Bai Ya found that his "boning knife method" was at this level. And when his knife skills are no longer limited to the bone chopping knife, and can be used in other knives, he will be able to go one step further and enter the realm of "integration".
The last two kinds of "back to basics" and "complete merits" are not specifically described in the black books, and the black tiger himself does not understand it very well.
However, the level of martial arts skills does not fully represent martial arts, for example, one martial art is very simple, but it is a prerequisite for learning another martial art. Even if the former is practiced to the point of integration, it can be replaced with the latter kind of martial arts, but it has only just reached its basic entry.
Compared with martial arts techniques, the classification of martial arts realms is more complicated.
Because of the limited knowledge of the horse thief leader, the description of the martial arts realm of Xianwu in the black-skinned classics is extremely brief, and it is only divided into three realms: acquired martial arts, innate martial arts and immortal martial arts realm.
Black Tiger had never seen the Innate Martial Dao and Immortal Martial Realm, and only knew that he was in the acquired cultivation stage.
According to the classics, each sect has its own unique stage division of the level of martial arts cultivated the day after tomorrow, and there is no unified statement. The Black Tiger is only divided into three levels according to the different cultivation stages of the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong.
The first of the five broken tiger claw gong is called destroying strength, and the tiger claw gong is not a single finger skill, it also takes into account the palm work. The first milestone was when the warrior smashed a piece of hardwood an inch thick in the air with a pair of fleshy palms.
The second is called Penetrating Strength, and the mark of achievement is that the warrior penetrates his fingertips, and without breaking the target, he can scratch through an inch thick hardwood, and there can be no cracks left around the finger holes.
The third weight is called breaking strength, which is equivalent to the synthesis of the first two. In actual combat, the warrior not only needs to grasp the enemy's bones, but also uses palm power to break the enemy's limbs at the same time, which can be described as ferocious and abnormal.
On the last page of the book, Bai Ya saw another record with a handwriting that was obviously different from the previous one, and looked like a long time. This record is both like a memory and a confession, and Bai Ya guesses that it should be left by Black Tiger's father, Old Black Tiger.
In this record, it is stated that the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong is not called this name, but is called Tiger Capture Gong, and the source comes from the ancestral court of Buddhism in Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom, - White Horse Temple!
Old Black Tiger used to be a peripheral lay disciple of the White Horse Temple, but he was not patient with the rules and precepts in the temple, and chose to rebel against the temple and escape. Because he was afraid that the disciples of the temple would be hunted down, he became a horse thief in Saibei incognito, and broke into the name of the black tiger with a pair of tiger claws.
Tiger Capture Gong is a high monk of White Horse Temple to observe the tiger pounce on food and create, is a top foreign kung fu, the original Gong has a total of five. Because the latter two follow-up strength and heart strength require the cooperation of luck and breathing method, the old black tiger did not learn the hand, resulting in the incomplete skill of the five broken tiger claws.
"It's actually another Buddhist martial arts?" Bai Ya put down the black-skinned classics, feeling a little weird in his heart, "Could it be that I still have a relationship with the Buddha and will become a monk in the future?"
Bai Ya shook his head vigorously and didn't think about it anymore. He put down the classics, and according to the diagram of the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong, he held the ground with his hands in the shape of claws and stood upside down. If you want to practice the Five Broken Tiger Claw Gong, you must have a strong finger power.
In this way, a stick of incense was turned upside down~ Kung Fu, Bai Ya only felt that a pair of claws were congested and swollen, so he followed the method recorded in the classics and his fingers took turns to aim at the ground and knock until a trace of heat came out from the Yangchi acupoint at the wrist, which penetrated through the fingertips, and he immediately knew that his palms had reached the limit.
He turned over and stood up, only to feel that his ten fingers trembled slightly, and as the blood flowed backwards, bursts of itching went straight from his fingertips to his wrists, and the Yangchi acupoint was swollen and hot.
"I must go to the pharmacy tomorrow and prepare some plasters according to the prescriptions recorded in the classics, otherwise I will definitely be injured!"
Bai Ya's eyes flashed, his toes hooked, picked up a pebble on the ground, and his right palm turned into a tiger claw and slapped it violently.
"Bang!" The pebbles shattered in response, he had already laid a good foundation for the strength of his palm when he practiced the knife before, and according to the current cultivation progress, he was afraid that he would soon be able to reach the first level of the Five Broken Tiger Claw Skill - Destroying Strength!
