I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 9 Differences in Martial Arts
Su Hanshan made a fist with his right hand, with the knuckles of his index finger protruding outward.

The punch made the scholar feel a soreness that penetrated the back of his hand. His middle finger and ring finger suddenly straightened, and his claws became non-claws. He simply turned his hands and changed his moves, and used his palm like a knife to cut into Su Hanshan's forearm.

Su Hanshan shrank his arm, and his index and middle fingers popped out at the same time, and the distance was just right.

The nails of two fingers hit the raised bone on the scholar's wrist.

The bone in everyone's wrist is slightly convex. Sometimes if you accidentally knock it, you have to wait for a while.

Being hit suddenly, the scholar felt as if his bones had been hit by an iron marble, and the entire forearm of his right hand was temporarily weak from pain.

After suffering two losses in a row, the scholar was afraid that the opponent would gain the upper hand and would not spare anyone, so he pursued and beat him fiercely. He quickly retracted his right hand, made a sound with his left palm, and used all his strength to strike out.

Su Hanshan still faced the enemy with his right hand and blocked it with his horizontal palm.

Hearing a loud bang, the scholar was shaken back a step, suddenly walked sideways, and left the medical center in the blink of an eye.

"Hahaha, good job. Keep the prescription. I'll pick it up tomorrow."

The servant didn't expect it, his face was frightened, he staggered two steps and ran away in a hurry.

The young man in a bamboo hat stared at Su Hanshan for a moment, then grabbed the big man and retreated outside the medical center in a few steps.

"I'll pick up the medicinal materials later. See you later!"

They reacted quickly, and Dora was behind the counter and didn't have time to stop him.

"Why did you let them go without knowing the truth..."

Dora came back to her senses, "By the way, it's impossible for both of them to only have this few manpower. Since they can't tell the difference, it's better to let them each meet up with the people behind them."

"You already have your eyes and ears in Pingyang City. By then, we will be able to tell the origins of the members of both sides."

Su Hanshan was stunned for a while.

What Dora just said was indeed some preparations he had made to deal with both sides.

But it wasn't just because of these reasons that he didn't take action just now.

Part of the reason is that just now, when his palms were facing each other and there was no fancy internal force contact, Su Hanshan suddenly noticed something, and some fleeting thoughts flashed through his mind.

That academic-looking person has profound skills. If he were placed in the Chu Dynasty, he should be at a level of around Qi Hai Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi Qi.

But the nature of his internal force is really too "soft".

The two sides exchanged palms. Although the man was defeated, he did not vomit blood on the spot.

And Su Hanshan's palm didn't feel shaken at all.

This is very unreasonable.

You know, in the Great Chu Dynasty, if a person with a normal Qi Sea of ​​sixteen turns is facing a person with a Qi Sea of ​​24 turns, even if the weaker one practices Yinrou skills, his internal organs should be shocked in one move. .

And the stronger side will inevitably be shaken.

It's like hitting an iron block with an iron spoon. The vibration of the spoon will be obvious and it will be more easily damaged. However, as the iron block is a powerful one, it will also vibrate, but the amplitude will be smaller.

"Strange, so strange."

Su Hanshan said, "Dora, do you think the martial arts method of the scholar just now was strong or soft?"

Dora said: "Obviously it's fast and fierce, and it's hard to count."

Su Hanshan: "Then what does my martial arts mean?"

Dora glanced at him in surprise: "When you took action, your power was incredible. Do you still need to ask?"

Songhe Chunyang Kung Fu itself is a martial art known for its neutrality, peace, mellowness and longevity, but when compared with the martial arts mentality of this world, it appears to be extremely fierce and domineering.

Su Hanshan couldn't help but recall a past event.

Two years ago, when Su Hanshan's father in this life just disappeared, the situation of Songhe Martial Arts School was even worse. Su Hanshan was really unbearable and wanted to do something for the martial arts school.

At that time, his skills were already quite good. He wrapped his legs with a rope and tied it into a cross-legged position. The other end was tied around his waist to avoid cumbersomeness. Then he held two crutches to walk instead of his legs. He was quite comfortable when he came and went. Quick, he can continue to exercise for half an hour, and try to practice some moves with crutches.

Su Tieyi didn't say much about this at first, but after Su Hanshan felt that he had become proficient in the new mobile combat method, Su Tieyi was afraid that he would go out rashly and fight with other warriors.

Therefore, Su Tieyi first selected a disciple from his own martial arts school and asked him to spar with Su Hanshan.

That junior brother's skill was about six levels lower than that of Su Hanshan at that time, and he also practiced the gentle and long-lasting Songhe Chunyang Kung Fu.

But as soon as Su Hanshan's crutch collided with the junior brother's fist, the wooden crutch exploded into pieces.

After two moves, the two crutches were completely shattered. The junior brother only had two more red marks on his hands.If the two continued to fight, Su Hanshan's speed of moving with his palms would not be able to compare with the pursuit of the junior brother using his footwork.

Su Hanshan was still unconvinced at that time. He felt that the material of the crutch was too poor and it was too late to take advantage of his own skills.

Su Tieyi asked someone to make him two iron crutches, and fought against the junior brother again.

The junior brother only held two short wooden sticks in his hands.

The iron staff collided with the wooden stick, and this time it was the stick in the junior brother's hand that broke.

However, Su Hanshan was also knocked to the ground due to the force of the iron rod's counter-shock.

Even though he had another iron staff in his left hand stuck on the ground at that time, he couldn't stop the force of the backlash at all.

After all, the stability that crutches can bring is far inferior to that of sound legs.

If Su Hanshan allocates more internal force and reinforces the soil around the crutch when the crutch is inserted into the soil, it will be more stable. However, if this is done, how can the remaining internal force of the other hand be able to withstand the opponent? What about the offensive?
It was only then that Su Tieyi told him that since ancient times, disabled warriors who did not have the Qi Sea realm had to use crutches instead of legs to walk.

But that can only be used to deal with characters below rank three of Qi Sea. It will be difficult to win against slightly higher warriors.

Moreover, the frequent use of crutches will lead to instinctive changes in the habit of running internal forces. Over time, the legs will become completely necrotic and useless.

After that, Su Hanshan returned to the wheelchair and never used crutches again. During that time, he was unwilling to talk and even felt more at a loss than when he first became paralyzed.

But today, he thought about his crutches again.

Dora's swordsmanship was very sharp, having been trained on the grasslands since childhood, but he was not very proficient in internal skills. Lu Xiaochuan was not a tough person, and he was taken down very quickly.

When Su Hanshan came into contact with them, although he noticed the difference in their internal strength, he only felt that their skills were low.

However, after the battle just now, Su Hanshan looked at the things he had ignored before.

It turns out that it's not that Lu Xiaochuan's skills are too low, but that the inner strength and mental skills of this world are generally much "softer" than the skills of the Great Chu Dynasty.
If this is the case, could Su Hanshan be able to fight the warriors of this world with just the stability provided by the crutches, without having to stick to the previous method of moving with his hands?
That method can be too flexible.

"Dora, I remember you said before that Uncle Cao Wu can severely injure people from two feet away with the power of his palms."

Su Hanshan's tongue went dry and he asked, "And although he understands the tenets of superior martial arts that combine hardness and softness, in actual combat, he still prefers hardness?"

Dora nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Then let me make a hypothesis..."

Su Hanshan organized his speech, "If he has no weapons in his hands and it is inconvenient to dodge, and a piece of wood weighing several hundred kilograms is suspended in the air by a chain and hits him, what will he do?"

Dora said without thinking: "It must be to lower the shoulders, move the wrists, lean back slightly, and use flexible techniques to offset the momentum."

"I have seen a similar situation. Cao Jixiang and Cao were interrogating a prisoner together. The prisoner was a skilled master. He had been tortured to the point of being out of shape. I don't know if his latent potential exploded and he actually broke free. It hit him head-on, and this is how Cao subconsciously reacted."

Most of the instincts of people who practice martial arts are habits developed through years of practicing martial arts, which are close to the fundamental style of martial arts practiced.

The martial arts mentality of this world is indeed fundamentally different from the martial arts system of the Chu Dynasty.

It’s not just about the upper limit, it’s also about the characteristics of the internal strength.

Since a person's internal strength is so deep that he can injure someone from a distance of two feet, a warrior from the Chu Dynasty, even one who practices feminine martial arts, would not hesitate to stop a mere few hundred kilograms of wood with one palm. Not moving at all, never considering any flexibility to relieve force.

Although the fundamental difference in style does not mean that one is soft in nature, his combat power will definitely not be as good as that of a warrior of the same realm with another style.

But it means that Su Hanshan, a physically handicapped person, will have very different results when using crutches to fight people with two styles.

"Where's my crutch..."

Su Hanshan murmured, "Bring the kitchen knife and find two good pieces of wood. No, just take the handle of the shovel and hoe. I want to cut two crutches!"

At dusk, several local people, who looked like ordinary people no matter how they looked at it, came to Pingyang Medical Center and explained the scenes they saw behind the doors and windows.

Dora compiled the information and learned that there were more than a dozen other people around the short-bearded man and the young man in the bamboo hat.

Among the dozen or so people, some were holding a girl very carefully, while others were holding a boy and were temporarily living in the unattended General Temple at the North City Gate.

The scholar and the servant went to the west of the city where there were many empty houses.

In addition, someone saw that many outsiders had also gone to the west of the city before, maybe thirty or forty in total.

Dora could already tell which side was Yu Qian's old team, so she turned to look at Su Hanshan.

Su Hanshan also heard all the news, but he was not as anxious as he had been in the past few days. Instead, he was very calm and seemed to cherish it very much. He used a kitchen knife to trim the two canes beside him and shaped the top of the canes into a round ball shape. .

He didn't know if it was Dora's illusion, but for a moment, he felt that Su Hanshan's eyes were shining.
