Chapter 715 Eighteen Dragon-subduing Palms, the No. 1 Palm in the World
According to legend, the Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon were the unique skills of the Beggar Clan, and were as famous as the Dog Beating Stick Technique. However, with the decline and demise of the Beggar Clan, these two unique skills were also lost.
Zheng's mother mistakenly believed that Ye Xingyu was a descendant of the Beggar Clan. It was not a random guess, but there was evidence to follow.
However, the Beggar Clan has long since disappeared, so how can there be any successors?
There is not a single beggar to be seen on the streets now. No matter how poor you are, you can still receive a subsistence allowance, so you don’t have to beg in the streets, and the government doesn’t allow it.
Even if there are still beggar gangs, no one knows how to beat the dog with the stick method and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Even the most famous fifty-second generation beggar gang leader in modern times, Su Can, known as "Su Qier",
His special skills are not palm skills and stick skills, but Drunken Fist.
Speaking of the Beggar Gang, this is a super large ancient martial arts sect, known as "the largest gang in the world". It started in the late Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and died in the late Qing Dynasty. It has a history of at least thousands of years.
But in fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, groups and organizations with beggars and refugees as their main members had appeared. There were many factions, each forming its own sect, and many of them were martial arts enthusiasts.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a martial arts master named Zhuang Yifang appeared. He was originally a general under Huang Chao. He was ordered by Huang Chao to win over heroes in the world, so he contacted several folk gangs at the time and united them.
Together, they were named after the word "Beggars Gang" and served in Huang Chao's uprising army.
However, Huang Chao's uprising ultimately failed, and Zhuang Yifang refused to surrender and committed suicide. However, the Beggar Gang founded by him was passed down and became a powerful force in the world.
It is said that Zhuang Yi Fang was extremely intelligent and courageous, and had great martial arts skills. He was good at stick techniques and palm techniques. The stick technique was called "Dog Beating Stick" and the palm technique was called "Dragon Subduing Palm".
It was precisely with these two sets of amazing martial arts that Zhuang Yifang surpassed the others and became the first leader of the Beggar Clan.
Everyone in the world thinks that Zhuang Yifang invented both the dog-beating stick and the dragon-subduing palm, but in fact they are only half right.
These two sets of martial arts are basically two different styles. The dog beating stick is famous for its clever moves and the dragon subduing palm is famous for its simplicity. It is hard to believe that they were made by the same person.
In fact, it is true that Zhuang Yifang created the Dog Beating Stick by himself, but the Dragon Subduing Palm was taught by an expert. Only because Zhuang Yifang never mentioned it to others, no one knew about it.
And the extraterrestrial master who created the Dragon Subduing Palm was Ye Xingyu who was reincarnated at that time.
He understood the principles of Yi Dao and the changes of yin and yang, so he created a unique set of palm techniques based on the "Book of Changes", which was not called "Dragon Subduing Palm" but "Yin and Yang Palm".
As the saying goes, simplicity is the most important thing, and skill is not skillful. This set of palm moves is simple, easy to learn and remember, but it is not easy to practice well. It requires extremely deep internal energy, otherwise it will be useless.
The essence of it all lies in the exertion of force, relying on the strength of the palm to win. Each palm has overwhelming power, defeating ten groups with one force, and restraining all the bells and whistles.
As we all know, there are sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, and this set of palm techniques also has sixty-four palms. The original names of the moves are all named after the hexagrams, such as: Tian Feng Jiao, Shan Lei Yi, Feng Tian Xiao Zhu, Ze Tian Da
strong……
In addition, the hexagrams of the Book of Changes are divided into yin and yang. These sixty-four palms also have the difference between yin and yang, hardness and softness. There are "Qian is the sky" that is the most rigid and the most yang, and "Kun is the earth" that is the most yin and the softest.
Most of them are yang within yin, yin within yang, yin and yang complement each other.
For some special reasons, Ye Xingyu passed on this set of palm techniques to Zhuang Yifang, but he did not teach him all he had and only taught half of them, namely the thirty-two palms with the Yang attribute.
Moreover, he did not say that this was "Yin Yang Palm", nor did he mention the name of the move. He only told the other party that this set of palm techniques comes from the "Book of Changes". It seems simple and unremarkable, but in fact it is extremely powerful. If you can practice it to the extreme,
It has the power to subdue dragons and demons.
However, Zhuang Yifang's internal strength was limited and he was not a supreme master. He only learned twenty-eight of the thirty-two palms. He had only a smattering of knowledge of the remaining four palms and never mastered them.
Later, he gave this palm technique a name himself, called "Dragon Subduing Palm", and used the four-character phrases in the "Book of Changes" as the name of the move, such as: Flying dragon is in the sky, the dragon has regrets, and the hidden dragon is in the sky.
Don't use the dragon, see the dragon in the field...
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Dragon Subduing Palm was passed to the ninth generation gang leader Xiao Feng. Due to his personality and his own understanding, he simplified the original twenty-eight palms, removing ten of them, leaving only eighteen palms, and
Because he fought against all the heroes in the martial arts world and was unstoppable, the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" became famous far and wide and became known to all martial arts people.
After Xiao Feng's deletions and mergers, the Yin Du Yang was removed, and the "Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms" became the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms". It seems that the power is more powerful and the palm power is more powerful, but in fact it has lost the original harmony of yin and yang.
smell.
Since then, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms have been hailed as "the best palms in the world". They are unparalleled in strength, extremely powerful, indestructible and indestructible.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hong Qigong, the eighteenth generation leader of the Beggar Clan, taught Guo Jing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, while Huang Rong, the successor leader, only learned the dog-beating stick method.
Guo Jing and Zhou Botong were sworn brothers. He learned the most yin and soft Seventy-two Ways of Kongming Boxing from the latter, and practiced the Nine Yin Sutra diligently, and finally made the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms combine yin and yang, return to his essence, and practice
He has reached a higher level, surpassing Hong Qigong in his heyday, and is almost the best in the world.
Afterwards, Guo Jing passed on his understanding of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to his apprentices, the Wu brothers. However, both of them were idiots. They only practiced empty tricks but could not display their power. They were humiliated as "the best palms in the world" in vain.
's name.
When his apprentice failed to live up to expectations, Guo Jing had no choice but to find another successor, and passed on the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to his son-in-law Yeluqi, but Yeluqi only mastered fourteen moves.
Ever since Guo Jing died in the battle of Xiangyang, the descendants of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms have been inferior to each other, and no one has been able to practice all these eighteen palms.
What's even more ridiculous is that when it was passed to the twenty-fourth generation leader of the Beggar Clan, Shi Huolong, he couldn't keep up with his internal strength, but he insisted on practicing hard. He finally managed to practice twelve palms, but he went crazy and became paralyzed, and was beaten in the end.
die.
One thing worth mentioning is that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mingjiao sect claimed that Wuji had obtained the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" hidden by Guo Jing from the Yitian Sword, but he had many magical skills and was not interested in practicing them.
.
Later, the ambitious Zhu Yuanzhang stole the fruits of victory. After overthrowing the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, he became the emperor under the name "Ming". He even suppressed the Ming religion because of his inner fear, and wanted to eliminate it.
Drop Zhang Wuji.
Although Zhang Wuji was a peerless master, he lacked courage and was indecisive. He was unwilling to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang and bring disaster to the world again. So he took his wife Zhao Min and left overseas without being traced. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were also lost and no descendants could practice them.
