Wu Yugang carefully identified the two people fighting in the courtyard under the dim moonlight. After careful inspection, he found that the drunken man was his senior brother, Yang Chenxiao from Yangjiayu. After seeing the people fighting clearly and distinguishing between the enemy and us, Wu Yugang found an opportunity to help his senior brother Yang Chenxiao catch the criminal who sneaked into Shaolin.
Yang Chenxiao's drunken boxing skills are quite impressive. Although it is not the practice of gods, it is also a superb skill in the world. This drunken boxing emphasizes that the body is drunk but the mind is not drunk, and the steps are drunk but the heart is not drunk. The purpose of being drunk is to confuse the opponent, not to intoxicate oneself. Seeking the true meaning of martial arts in a drunken state, using it for fighting and self-cultivation, is also a rare training technique in the world. This kind of drunkenness is not the drunkenness of ordinary people, but a figurative drunkenness, which entangles the opponent in the left and right forward and backward swaying of the steps and body, making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish the true from the false. Then mixed with various martial arts movements, it forms a boxing technique.
Shaolin drunken boxing emphasizes the lightness and solidity of the steps, such as the chasing step, the covering step, the eight steps, and the plum blossom step. The hand technique is to click and block. The body sways, pitches, and twists. The leg technique is to hook, stir, and kick, and the stumbling drunkard's form reflects the falling and bumping skills. The expression of boxing is the mind, and the mind is generally expressed through the eyes. The eye technique of Shaolin drunken boxing is to look and aim, making it difficult for the opponent to distinguish the real and fake intentions. This is the most basic form of Shaolin drunken boxing.
The typical representative of drunken boxing, the Eight Immortals, was also created and developed by people in their daily lives, combining the meaning of Shaolin drunken boxing. There is no fist in boxing, no intention in intention, and no fist and no intention is the true intention. This is the basic purpose of Eight Immortals boxing. To achieve the method of being drunk, every method seems to be drunk, and there is truth in drunkenness. Pulling the strings, floating and uncertain, fast and flexible, avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, combining hardness and softness. Defending the virtual and launching the real, taking advantage of the void, is a classic technique. Lü Dongbin was drunk and lifted the pot with great force, Han Zhongli fell down and held the altar with his heart. Tieguai Li turned his heels and knees to hit Zui Huanzhen, Lan Caihe raised a toast and broke it in the waist, Zhang Guolao threw a cup and kicked it in a row, Cao Guojiu toasted and locked the throat, Han Xiangzi grabbed the wrist and hit the chest while drunk and played the flute, He Xiangu played the waist and offered wine and walked drunkenly, which was passed down as the classic formula of drunken boxing by dancers.
Watching Yang Chenxiao's drunken boxing seemed to have improved a step further. There is no distinction between postures in this drunken boxing. The focus is on actual combat. As long as you defeat the opponent, you don't care about the form and moves. But in Yang Chenxiao's actual combat, the characteristics of Tai Chi are reflected. Tai Chi is a large-frame high-frame boxing, which is divided into large, medium and small-frame Tai Chi. Small-frame Tai Chi is a boxing method that does not focus on moves, but is an internal family boxing method that is not passed on to outsiders in actual combat. When Yang Chenxiao dances it, it has a different flavor. Therefore, the current drunken boxing has a different posture, making the classification of martial arts drunken boxing clearer. It is also a great contribution to martial arts.
Wu Yugang and the other two saw that Yang Chenxiao was fighting fiercely, so they did not rush to disturb him. Instead, they surrounded the two in the courtyard. It was extremely difficult for them to escape. However, this was indeed a Buddhist holy land and could not be violated. Although Shaolin Temple had experienced many disasters, it was burned, killed, and looted, and many valuable things that could not be measured by money were found. However, none of the bad guys who violated the Buddhist precepts had a good end. This is also a difficult mystery of Buddhism.
Wu Yugang watched Yang Chenxiao's performance attentively, and seemed to have a good grasp of victory. However, for some reason, Yang Chenxiao was not eager to defeat his opponent, but entangled with him, making it difficult for him to display his skills. The twisting power of Tai Chi is indeed extraordinary. It is like being stuck and connected, and it can't be thrown off. It's useless to be anxious. It makes people angry and anxious, but they can't display their skills. It's like grabbing a piece of hot cake, which can't be thrown away or taken off. If you use your other hand to rescue it, you can't escape the fate of being burned. It's really hard to do what you can do.
Wuyazi looked at the two people fighting in the yard, and couldn't tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. Standing there, hesitating. The monk next to him saw Wuyazi's hesitation and seemed to know something. The monk said to Wuyazi: "Donor, the one wearing a nightgown but not covering his face is a criminal." Wuyazi then distinguished the good from the bad of these two laymen.
Just when Wuyazi was about to step forward to help, he heard Wu Yuguang shouting to the two people fighting, "Brother! Take a break for a while, I'm here to help you!" Wuyazi was so shocked by Wu Yuguang's words that he didn't know what to do. How come Wu Yuguang's elder brother was here? What a coincidence.
Yang Chenxiao and Mei Sheng were fighting fiercely. When they heard the shouting, they turned their heads to look and saw three more people coming, two Taoists and one monk. Mei Sheng saw that all four people were coming for him, and he couldn't help feeling guilty. Although a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, it is still frightening to see a tiger. This drunkard is so difficult to deal with, making him flustered. If two more people come to help, how will he deal with it? After all, this is someone else's land. No matter how powerful one is, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress a local snake. What's more, it is a famous Buddhist temple in the world!
Although Yang Chenxiao was drunk, his mind was still very clear. He had mastered the four realms of drunken boxing: slightly drunk, very drunk, crazy drunk, and sober. He looked carefully at the person who was shouting. Under the dim moonlight, Wu Yugang in white stood in front of him. Yang Chenxiao was very surprised. After all, he hadn't met his relatives for a long time. Although the people here were not bad, family affection was hard to give up, and such feelings could not be expressed in words. Things in the world change unpredictably. How did Junior Brother come here? But it also made people surprised and confused. How was his family? There had been no news for a long time!
Thinking of this, Yang Chenxiao was mixed with sadness and joy. At this time, Wu Yugang had already come close. But in such an occasion, it was not the time to chat about family matters. The bandit in front of him was here to do bad things, and everyone could kill him. How could he be left alone? Fighting with Mei Sheng was also tiring, but Yang Chenxiao's experience and skills were much deeper than Mei Sheng, so he could fight with him with such strength. Speaking of moves, they were all based on the principles of Tai Chi Yin Yang Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. Although each had its own strengths, it was difficult to tell who was better.
The plum blossom boxing that Mei Sheng practiced was a boxing method for cultivating external elixir. Only when the external elixir was formed could the internal elixir be formed and then recuperated. Therefore, Mei Sheng's practice was much worse than those who cultivated internal elixir. And those who cultivated internal elixir had a skill that was difficult for ordinary people to match.
Yang Chenxiao said to Wu Yugang: "Junior brother! Don't let this evil man go!"
Wu Yugang nodded and said to Mei Shengyan: "Good boy! You are so young and yet you are still naughty. You are causing trouble in the peaceful place of Buddhism. It seems that you don't want to live anymore! Why don't you die soon!"
Mei Sheng shouted, "Bah! How dare you teach your grandfather a lesson! Don't you see how old you are!" Before Wu Yugang could say anything, Mei Sheng pulled out a short knife and stabbed Wu Yugang in the face. (To be continued)
