Chapter 1195 Origin of Ancient Martial Arts
"In ancient times, people's way of life was very simple and difficult. In order to survive on the land with various natural disasters, people slowly groped and learned many things. Among them, in order to deal with all kinds of ferocious strange beasts , people made all kinds of stone tools, which can be said to be the prototype of weapons, and because people danced around the campfire, they gradually discovered that dancing, in addition to strengthening the body, also has the effect of driving away beasts.

So, I don't know how many years of exploration, how many people's painstaking efforts, evolved the dancing movements into the embryonic form of ancient martial arts.I don't know how many years have passed, the ancient martial arts has been widely spread on the earth, those who love this way, talented and intelligent people, rely on what they have learned, to change and transform the ancient martial arts, thus forming a formal Ancient martial arts.In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the popularity of martial arts flourished, and ancient martial arts received strong support from various princes. During this period, various theories emerged, forming a grand scene of contention among a hundred schools of thought. It can be said that that era was the most dynamic era. An era full of vitality and slaughter.

However, around the time Qin Shihuang unified the world, the number of people who knew ancient martial arts gradually decreased. First, because many people died in battle, second, because some people escaped from the world and disappeared, and the third is my ancestors. One category, leave their homeland and go to other places.After Qin unified the world, burning books and burying Confucianism, everything must be unified, and the existence of ancient martial arts cannot be tolerated. Therefore, many classics of ancient martial arts have been burned, but I believe that this is endless. A small part has been handed down, and it has been handed down to this day. Although it is no longer what it used to be, there are some traces.

As time goes by, people gradually forget the ancient martial arts. Those who like martial arts either create a new martial arts system, or get the ancient martial arts classics, absorb the essence of them, and create another Martial arts, together with the prosperity of Taoism and Buddhism, therefore, many martial arts have been marked with the shadow of these two schools.If you ask me, how many people still really understand ancient martial arts today? This is really a difficult question to answer. Maybe there are, but everything has changed in the past. The purest ancient martial arts has been lost in history.What I mean is that even if there is a secret book of ancient martial arts in front of you, no matter how much you practice, you will not be able to repeat the realization of the glory days of ancient martial arts, because the age has changed and people's physique has changed. "

Fang Jianming thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "I understand, what you mean by old age is that martial arts are imprinted with the times, and ancient martial arts is just a name. Even if we have learned ancient martial arts now, it is not what it used to be. Learning ancient martial arts is like saying that martial arts are dead and people are alive. No matter what kind of martial arts, it depends on individual efforts in the end. The essence of ancient martial arts is here, and the essence of modern martial arts is also in This is the same throughout the ages."

A flash of admiration flashed in the eyes of the old man Baihu, and he said with a smile: "It is indeed very rare for you to realize this."

Fang Jianming thought for a while, and said: "As far as I know, some Fusang people also know ancient martial arts, but I don't know where they got it. Could it be passed down by the ancients?"

The old man Baihu smiled and said, "If Fusang people also understand ancient martial arts, I think it must be related to one person."

Fang Jianming asked, "Who?"

Old Baihu said: "Xu Fu."

Fang Jianming was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Old Bai, what do you mean..."

The old man Baihu smiled and said, "I think you should have heard of Xu Fu's legend."

Fang Jianming nodded and said: "It is said that Xu Fu is a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. He is knowledgeable and talented, proficient in astronomy, geography, medicine, martial arts, etc. It is said that he is also a close disciple of Guiguzi, the founder of the Zongheng family."

The old man Baihu said: "These are all true. Xu Fu is not only proficient in martial arts, but also can cultivate immortals. Qin Shihuang knew that he was capable and wanted to live forever, so he asked him for advice on the art of immortality. Of course Xu Fu did not dare to use his The art of cultivation was told to Qin Shihuang, because once he said it, he would be killed by Qin Shihuang with an excuse. One day, he suggested to Qin Shihuang that he wanted to refine the elixir of immortality. Qin Shihuang wanted to live forever, so he agreed. Xu Fu It is said that there are fairy mountains in the outer sea, a Penglai, an abbot, and a Yingzhou, and there are immortals in the mountains. I went to the three mountains to look for the immortals, and made a elixir in each of the three mountains, and presented it to the king after hearing it. Glad, he agreed to his request and asked him to take boys and girls to visit immortals and refine the pill of immortality. He was afraid that Xu Fu would run away with the pill after refining it, so he sent many masters to follow him. After several years like this, one day One day, Xu Fu said that the immortal had not been found, but the elixir was about to be developed. Recently, a demon fish appeared in the sea. It must have smelled the elixir. If you want to snatch it, please send someone to shoot it. Qin Shihuang sent people to investigate secretly, and he found the elixir in the sea. There was a demon fish infested, so he sent many masters to surround and kill the demon fish. Unexpectedly, when those masters killed most of the people and killed the demon fish, the remaining people went back to have a look, but they didn't know Xu Fu Where did he go, even the boys and girls were missing. When Qin Shihuang learned of this, he was so angry that he died on the east tour not long after. As for where Xu Fu went, it gradually became It is said that he brought those virgins and virgins to Fusang after untold hardships, lived with the local residents, and taught them many things. Gradually, those virgins have become part of the The ancestors of the Fusang people. You said that the Fusang people knew ancient martial arts. I think Xu Fu himself knew ancient martial arts. Second, when he left, he must have hidden some ancient martial arts classics and passed them on to Fusang. But in my opinion, after so many years, there are not many Fusang people who understand ancient martial arts, and they understand only part of it."

Fang Jianming nodded, and said: "After you keep saying that, I think it's the same."

At this time, the two of them were full of wine and food, Fang Jianming asked Xiaolan and Xiaoyu to withdraw the banquet, so that they did not need to come to serve again.Afterwards, Fang Jianming and old man Baihu discussed ancient martial arts in the living room. Fang Jianming had just started learning ancient martial arts, while old man Baihu was quite proficient in ancient martial arts.The old man Baihu didn't say anything about moves, but just expressed his understanding of ancient martial arts, so Fang Jianming had a better understanding of ancient martial arts.

This conversation lasted until dawn, neither of them felt sleepy.Fang Jianming suddenly remembered the strange thing about ancient martial arts in Sword Valley, so he told the old man Baihu.

After hearing this, the old man Baihu showed surprise on his face, and said: "You said that there is an ancient old man playing ancient boxing in that thing?"

Fang Jianming said: "Yes."

The old man Baihu thought for a while, and said: "Although I don't know what's going on, I'm sure that the old man must be from the ancient times, and the ancient boxing techniques he played may be many years earlier than my ancestors. You Having said that, I am interested in Jiangu, by the way, does Jiangu have any disciples?"

Fang Jianming said: "Yes, there are currently two people here."

Old Baihu said: "Is it a man or a woman?"

Fang Jianming said: "They are all women."

Baihu asked: "How are their aptitudes?"

Fang Jianming said: "Both are fine, the senior sister is called Shen Hongying, and the junior sister is called Zhu Hongshou."

The old man Baihu thought for a while and asked, "Is the senior sister better or the junior sister better?"

Fang Jianming said: "It should be Junior Sister, because her qualifications are higher, and the Valley Master has always regarded her as the candidate for the next generation of Valley Master."

The old man Baihu smiled and said: "Well, you and this junior sister will come to the mountain to meet me in a while, maybe I can see something."

Fang Jianming was overjoyed when he heard this, the old man Baihu described the place where he met, got up and walked out, Fang Jianming realized that he was leaving at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Where are you going?"
