Chapter 398 394. Learn Criminal Law Before Practicing Martial Arts
That being said.

Fake martial arts masters: They have the image of a pale-faced scholar, wearing a white robe, with a thin figure, holding a long sword or a folding fan, and can use their powerful force to immobilize a 200-pound strongman.

A true martial arts master: eight feet tall, with a waist that is ten feet around, a broad back and strong arms covered with patterns, holding two large axes, when he sees the enemy he shouts loudly, and it is like a thunderclap out of nowhere, and he chops down the front line.

The painting style is ruined!
Taoist Master Tan Yanqing took the gun back to the hut.

After coming out, he sat back at the stone table.

Drink two cups of tea in a row.

He let out a long sigh and began to survey Luo Yihang.

"I see you haven't practiced martial arts or basic skills. It stands to reason that young people nowadays all like bare-handed fighting, such as Wing Chun, karate, taekwondo, etc. Why haven't you practiced it?"

Luo Yihang replied, "I really haven't learned it. I feel that it's useless to fight with bare hands. If the opponent is bare-handed, I can beat him down without any practice. If the opponent has a knife, I feel that it's useless to practice. I might as well pick up a brick or a stick and swing it."

The old Taoist priest laughed loudly, Lianlian nodded, "That's right, we used to call it "bashi", now it's called traditional martial arts, in fact 80% of the skills are in the weapons."

"There is an old saying that in the eighteen martial arts, the end is to fight with bare hands. To end with fighting with bare hands shows that he has no weapons."

"Bao Da is bare-handed boxing and kicking. In the end, bare-handed boxing and kicking are the lowest, ranking after all kinds of weapons."

It seems that the old Taoist priest is still a master of instruments.

Very traditional.

The theoretical basis is very simple. No matter how hard your fist is, can it be harder than a brick? No matter how far you kick, can it be farther than a stick?

Or from a scientific perspective, humans have been using tools since ancient times. Primitive people knew how to make stone axes and spears to hunt, so why don’t modern people know how to do that?

Or based on historical evidence, the Chinese have been practicing battle formations since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period thousands of years ago, and have been smelting steel since the Han and Tang Dynasties. They must have been stupid to develop unarmed combat, but there is no soil for it.

However, there is another point of view that empty-handedness is the highest, and that martial arts should be about honing oneself, using, understanding, and controlling one's own body, and then transcending oneself, which is quite philosophical.

The two views are one external and one internal.

Luo Yihang has no inclination, his main occupation is cultivating immortals, he tends to use it for external purposes and practice it for internal purposes, basically he just wants to set up a formation.

However, Luo Yihang still asked the old Taoist priest, "Then fists and feet are useless?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and explained, "The real specialty of each school is basically weapons. Practicing boxing and kicking is just to lay a good foundation for practicing weapons."

"Boxing and kicking skills are very helpful for reaction, power, footwork, and feeling."

Then the conversation changed.

"But now we live in a society ruled by law. Fists and feet are more effective than weapons. I can get a few fewer years in prison."

"Ah!" The turn was so sudden that Luo Yihang almost sprained his waist.

Secretary Cao, who had been acting as an invisible person, finally prepared himself mentally after hearing what was said. He took a sip of the brewed tea in the pot, but before he could swallow it, he spat it out.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and turned my head.

The tea was sprayed all over the tree without any waste.

The old Taoist priest succeeded in his trick and continued his efforts.

"If you use a stick to fight and injure someone, the other person will be fine, but you will have to stay in jail for a few months. This is called a month-long stick sentence."

"If you fight with someone with a knife and injure them, it is intentional injury and you are sentenced to one or two years in prison. This is called a year-long knife."

"If you fight with a gun and stab someone and there's no way to save them, you'll get life imprisonment or death penalty. That's called a lifetime gun."

I didn't expect that a month of sticks, a year of swords, a lifetime of guns could be explained in this way.

"You should learn criminal law before practicing martial arts, right?" Luo Yihang said with a smile.
-
At this point, Luo Yihang officially began to learn martial arts from Taoist Master Tan Yanqing.

There is no ceremony of becoming a disciple, and it is not considered as entering the mountain gate.

The old Taoist priest is very free and easy. He just teaches and learns, without any sense of ritual.

He knew it clearly in his mind. The people from the Municipal Party Committee brought him here and stayed with him for a whole day. This guy was definitely not an ordinary person.

I don't seek friendship, nor do I control you. I don't ask you, and you don't ask me. Let's just be friends. Taoism is about taking things as they come, being quiet and doing nothing.

Stayed in Dongyang Palace and had a vegetarian meal.

By the afternoon.

Taoist Master Tan Yanqing began to teach Luo Yihang martial arts.

The old Taoist priest always said that Luo Yihang was a martial arts genius.

When it comes to true teaching, it is better to start from the most basic.

It took a whole afternoon to teach Luo Yihang how to stand still.

What is taught are the Santi Shi and Hunyuan Zhuang of Xingyiquan.

Xingyi has a close relationship with Taoism.

The old Taoist priest seemed to know a lot, and had learned many different things, not just the Quanzhen Longmen kung fu.

The three-body posture of Xingyi comes from the posture of holding a gun. The lower body is like straddling a horse, sometimes loose and sometimes tight. The two feet are the base of the gun, sometimes empty and sometimes real.

Like riding a horse.

When riding a horse, your buttocks should not sit too tightly on the saddle, and your feet should step on the stirrups in coordination with the ups and downs of the horse's running, using a "loose and tight" force; on horseback, most people should lean sideways, squeeze their legs together, support with the front foot, and push with the back foot, dividing the force first and then the "real and fake".

The old Taoist priest spent more than an hour carefully teaching Luo Yihang the various key points of standing still, the so-called "three tops, three buckles, three circles, three poisons, three hugs, three hangs, three bends, and three straightens."

After Luo Yihang had memorized it completely and no longer made mistakes, he began to teach Xingyiquan.

Boxing is like shooting a gun, and the force of the gun is the same as the force of the fist. This is the true meaning of "turning the gun into a fist" in Xingyiquan. Practice the basic boxing movements well in order to practice shooting in the future.

However, the boxing techniques first only taught the basic Five Elements boxing in Xingyi, which include the chopping fist (metal), drilling fist (water), collapsing fist (wood), cannon fist (fire) and horizontal fist (earth).

It also focuses on postures and movements, and how to exert force and how to control it have not been taught yet.

It’s not that the old Taoist priest is hiding something, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

You have to learn the basics first, set up the foundation, and then proceed step by step.

Anyway, after this afternoon's study, Luo Yihang felt that traditional martial arts, at least the moves, were not difficult and he would be able to do it after practicing a few times.

I just don’t know how to learn it later.

Could it be "We have already learned addition and subtraction within ten. Now, please use what you have learned to solve the Goldbach conjecture..."

For two or three hours in the afternoon, the old Taoist priest and Luo Yihang, one teaching and the other learning, drank several rounds of canned tea and nine roasted ginkgo nuts.

The old Taoist priest hid the remaining ginkgo nuts and was really reluctant to take them out.

Secretary Cao took several naps.

Wait until you have learned it all.

The old Taoist priest told Luo Yihang to go back and practice well, and come back to him when he feels he has done it well.

Then send the guests away directly.

Luo Yihang and Secretary Cao said goodbye and left.

When returning.

Secretary Cao was finally unsealed and is no longer an unknown figure.

He also reminded Luo Yihang implicitly that martial arts should be treated as a hobby. In a society ruled by law, there are not many dangers. It would be very troublesome if someone was injured. The law is ruthless.

You should focus your main energy on your career. You are still young, so your career is the most important thing.

Blah blah blah...
