Master Yanglian has a good reputation in Jiaozhi, but the reviews about him are actually mixed.
Some people think that he is unkind and domineering, without any sophistication or understanding that a eminent monk should have, and that he is protective of his shortcomings. However, some people think that he is aboveboard, not pretentious, and is a true-hearted, capable, and heroic person. .
However, if ordinary people were to meet Master Yang Lian without knowing the details of his reputation, they would probably not leave a good impression on him.
Because the appearance of this monk is really not that good.
He has a pair of triangular eyes, a fleshless face, a long and narrow face, a protruding chin, and a short beard that curves along the outward curvature of his chin. His hands and feet are thin, and he walks barefoot. The skin of his feet is gray. , as if covered with a layer of horny skin.
Moreover, on the back of the bright red robe on his body, a statue of a four-armed Bodhisattva with a green face and fangs was painted in gold and green.
The Bodhisattva's torso is sitting on his back, with four arms extending outwards. The upper pair of golden arms pass through his armpits and wrap around in front of him. His palms are just closed at the skirt of his clothes. The lower pair of green arms pass from him. Pass around the waist and interlock the palms at the lower abdomen.
With his appearance and clothes like this, he looks like a monster monk no matter how he looks.
When Guan Luoyang was observing the great mage, he couldn't help but pay more attention to the robe.
However, when Grand Master Yang Lian moved his hands, his presence suddenly overwhelmed the red robe on his body, and his figure danced like an angry flame.
Thin hands with thick knuckles, with clumsy gestures, shot out from the blooming red shadow, and the air in front of the body was blown away by his palms.
The crisp sound of the wind was like a firecracker, coming at your fingertips.
When Guan Luoyang dodged this palm, he clearly felt the hair on his face being pulled by a hot breath, as if it was not a hand, but a speeding express passing by him.
He raised his heels without bending his knees. He relied on the crisp elasticity of his ankles and soles to change his pace three times in a row, pushing his entire body to move left and right until he was four meters away.
Only then did he escape the five consecutive blows from Archmage Yang Lian, who folded his sleeves and leaned forward with extremely tight hands.
These five strikes all missed, and the opponent's momentum slowed down slightly. Guan Luoyang was like a taut bow, seizing the opportunity when Bai Ju passed through the gap, turning back and stepping forward, Luo Han stepped on the center line with a punch, and Yang Lian was fierce The mage's arms wrapped in red robes bumped together.
Bang! ! ! !
The fist hit firmly, and Guan Luoyang felt that he had hit an old tree with deep roots that had not fallen down for hundreds of years, and the reaction force came over him like a wave.
Grand Master Yang Lian also felt that there was a big bull with copper skin and iron bones. He suddenly shook his head and bumped into his defensive posture. The force on the fist was unexpectedly sharp and hard.
The two of them were separated as soon as they touched each other, each seemed to be blown by a strong wind, retreating rapidly, and their feet fell heavily.
Where Guan Luoyang stepped on it, the wooden board cracked and sank, and the footprints showed traces of being pulled backwards.
Where Grand Master Yang Lian stepped on, the traces of depression are not obvious, but there will be cracks on the wooden board that are cracked and spread like a flower in the center. The scope of the cracks spreading is larger than that of Guan Luoyang.
As soon as he stood still, Guan Luoyang was surprised and said: "You are also using boxing methods, and you are fighting against me with just your hands and feet?!"
When I got information from Qiu Di before, I only knew that Grand Master Yang Lian was tough and could control the heat and heat, but I didn't know the specific characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
But during the fight just now, Guan Luoyang clearly noticed that when the old monk waved his hands, he displayed a strong and powerful force based on his extremely solid Kung Fu foundation.
"Wudang is not the only one who is exploring ways to combine law and martial arts."
Grand Master Yang Lian hugged him with both hands. The robe on his body swelled, and visible heat surged out of his sleeves.
"My method is both fist and method!"
As the heat swept over him, Grand Master Yang Lian's face and muscles all over his body became much plumper. His monstrous and grotesque appearance was immediately discarded, replaced by a majestic and terrifying domineering aura.
The Huangtou Taigong in the audience looked at the figure surrounded by the heat, and couldn't help but feel a bit of envy in his heart: "Yang Lian is already so old, and he is so diligent." If only there was one person among my disciples who could be half as sincere as him...'
"The combination of law and martial arts."
Qiushi repeated these four words in a low voice.
Originally, in the entire Zhenwu Temple, only his master Jiuying could achieve this.
It is a unique realm. The requirement for entry is to have at least fifteen years of deep foundation in both magic and kung fu. Sincere thoughts will connect each other, regardless of master and slave. From then on, practicing boxing is just practicing. Dharma, learning the Dharma is to understand the boxing, and one point of practice is worth twice the hard work of others.
That kind of state not only depends on qualifications, but is more like a condensation of life experience, which can be encountered but cannot be sought.
But now Qiu Shi was looking at the scene on the ring, and he suddenly woke up to another even more surprising thing.
Guan Luoyang, this friend of the same generation with mysterious origins, actually has a temperament that is on par with those who combine law and martial arts.
'Kung Fu can also be explained by talent, but such a temperament cannot be achieved in a lifetime just by practicing hard behind closed doors. You will never be an unknown person! Brother Guan, what is your real name? '
People in the audience have different thoughts, but people on the stage are increasingly abandoning distracting thoughts.
Guan Luoyang's feet were separated from the front and back, his left hand was placed horizontally in front of his navel, and his right hand was hanging down. He was wearing round-necked and long-sleeved clothes, and his whole body was relaxed. His whole body was like a soft bamboo rack for hanging clothes, empty. .
Only those eyes were so focused that they were not closed at all, deeply imprinting every detail of Master Yang Lian's body.
When the white-hot mist on the cuffs of Master Yang Lian was exhausted and the robes all over his body were clinging to his skin, Master Yang Lian intertwined his hands and fingers, adjusted them from the abdomen upward, and made a posture like a lotus flame rising.
Invisible repulsive force erupted from him, sweeping in all directions, and the surrounding fog suddenly turned into a thick circle of fog, expanding and pushing away.
A rising wall of fog was reflected in Guan Luoyang's eyes, pushing towards him hazily. His eyes were slightly closed and his ears were fully open.
He felt a slight shock on the soles of his feet, and his body suddenly moved three feet. He twisted his waist and swung his hand like a steel whip, breaking the wind and fog, and hit the place where he was standing just now.
The mist swept past, and there happened to be a palm, which was hit by his whip hand. There was a muffled sound, the tiger's mouth was slightly cracked, and the wrist bones must have been bruised by the force of his whip hand.
But at the moment of this collision, Guan Luoyang felt heat rushing up all over his body. His feet suddenly felt weak, and his upper body became hot, especially his hair, which seemed to stand on end.
Baori Department, rising fire lotus seal!
According to the Buddhist scriptures of Motian Temple, the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, the lower abdomen, the heart and the top of the head are the places where Yang Qi gathers most strongly.
These parts are like little suns in the human body. They are extremely precious and must be cherished in order to prolong life. Therefore, they are called the "Precious Sun Parts".
The sage masters of Motian Temple have written dozens of books prefixed with "Baori Bu", specifically teaching people how to take care of themselves and avoid diseases.
The Rising Fire Lotus Seal does the opposite, specifically destroying the movement of Yang Qi in the human body. As long as one is photographed by this seal, all the heat in the body will rush to the top of the head, burning the hair.
Even people without hair will have flames coming out of their heads.
This kind of fire burns the vitality of the human body. If there is no way to contain it, if it burns out on its own, the human body will lose all warmth and become a cold corpse.
Guan Luoyang didn't understand the principle of this magic, but he had an instinct to fight, and there was a blue bird energy in his body that was similar to magic power.
Almost as soon as he noticed the heat rising throughout his body, Guan Luoyang's method of exerting force had changed. His hands and big arms collapsed outward, and his arms seemed to be rounded, and his fists were clenched.
At this time, from the top of the head to the shoulders, from the elbows to the fingertips, there is no place where you are not exerting force.
The blue bird's vitality expanded accordingly, affecting every part of his head, shoulders and arms, suppressing it like a golden and iron shackle, suppressing the upward heat and falling back to his legs.
During this delay, Master Yang Lian dispersed the mist, changed his hands, and the Fire Lotus Seal hit him again. The Yang Qi pulled him, and the dryness arose again.
Guan Luoyang hurriedly dodged under his feet, and the bronze patterns on his arms were condensed on the tips of his ten fingers. Suddenly his shoulders opened, he turned his hands like an arrow, and his nails swept towards Master Yang Lian's eyes.
The five tribes grabbed the broken crane in their hands, and the flying crane fluttered its feathers!
It is said that the flying crane shakes its feathers, but in fact this boxing technique was first learned from dogs.
If animals like cats and dogs climb up after falling into the water, they must make a shaking movement. Often, in one shake, most of the water droplets on the body can be shaken dry. The power is so subtle that it can be understood and implemented. How magical it is to have all the hair on your body.
The masters of Crane Fist were inspired by these events and used the trembling feeling in the boxing technique. When fighting, the strength is applied to the ends of the fingers, and the enemy can be moved away from the enemy with a single touch, leaving the skin and flesh torn.
Guan Luoyang used this attack method, hitting the head, face, stabbing the chest and waist, and shooting with both hands in succession, forcing Master Yang Lian to retreat step by step.
Even if he accidentally bumped into Master Yang Lian's arm, before the magic power had passed, the hand on the other side was no longer in its original position and could easily shake out the phantom.
In the blink of an eye, Guan Luoyang had already forced the opponent back several steps, swiping his arms and fingers no less than thirty times.
Those previous opponents, under such intensive high-speed close attacks, should have been beaten hard enough to distinguish the north, south, east, and west.
However, Master Yang Lian retreated continuously, avoiding all the shots that hit his vital points, regrouped, transferred his magic power, and stamped his feet.
The wooden board vibrated several times in succession.
A row of flaming energy shot out from the ground, from the feet of Master Yang Lian, and attacked Guan Luoyang.
Guan Luoyang had to be forced back by the heat, but as soon as he stepped back, he raised his right foot and stepped hard.
The hands that swung at high speed used a bouncing force, and this kick also used a bouncing force. The force was not transmitted to the ground, but was transmitted along the wooden board under the feet to the other end.
When it reached Master Yang Lian's feet, the force of the bounce collided with his stamped foot, causing the board to break in front of his toes, and the fracture tilted upward.
Guan Luoyang slumped over here, and the whole sole of his right foot was pressed down heavily, especially the heel, which was rubbing forward against the broken board.
The broken wood stubbed into the bones of Grand Master Yang Lian's calf. Although the broken wood could not pierce his hardened muscles and bones, it knocked his feet away.
Guan Luoyang jumped up, pressed his left foot in the middle of the broken board, and rushed in front of him. His fist was three inches long, and the crane fist bounced and shot hard, and his nails hit the bridge of his nose.
The feeling of extreme soreness suddenly erupted from the bridge of his nose. Grand Master Yang Lian's eyes instantly became blurry, and his head subconsciously tilted back, but he let out a low voice with a hint of panic.
When this voice reached Guan Luoyang's ears, Master Yang Lian had already touched the sleeves of his hands and hit him on the chest with the corner of his sleeve.
If he hit it with his hands, he would never touch Guan Luoyang at all, but the slap on his sleeve was unexpectedly fast, even a little faster than the low voice.
Buddhist seals often use fingers to form seals, which means that the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the hearts are connected.
But there is no reason why the truly superior seals must be made by a skilled martial artist by hand.
This sleeve still has the Fire Lotus Seal, and it is faster and more powerful.
The four arms of the Bodhisattva's embroidered statue are perfectly integrated with the two sleeves at this moment. It looks like the Bodhisattva's third pair of arms stretches out from between the four arms to create this seal.
Guan Luoyang's feet softened, his teeth touched, he held his breath and shook his head, bronze patterns crawled from his neck to his face, and his head bumped forward, hitting Master Yang Lian's chest.
Grand Master Yang Lian never expected that such a strong force would suddenly hit his head. His footing was unstable, and he moved sideways for nearly ten meters and fell down the ring.
Among the hundreds of people watching, some who were sitting a little further away from the ring stood up and leaned forward to see clearly the victory or defeat in this scene.
Master Yang Lian covered his chest with one hand and his eyes with the other, and a little blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
When he took his hand away, the bridge of his nose was slightly swollen and his eyes were slightly moist, but his vision was clear again.
On the ring, Guan Luoyang was kneeling on one knee, his head hanging down, his body swaying, and his fingertips constantly flicking.
The Fire Lotus Seal made with his sleeves did not make his Yang Qi rush from his feet to the top of his head. Instead, it felt like the heat of his Yang Qi was directly shot from his body to his back, dissipating all of it.
Qingniao Yuanqi can't take care of such a large area. He now relies on the second level of practice to seal the pores and seal the spasmodic heat all over the body. He uses the flick of his fingers to move the whole body, smooth out the muscles, and control the heat bit by bit.
Suddenly, another figure jumped onto the ring.
Wei Dinggong had a smile on his face, swinging his rosary beads in his hand, and a thick black shadow emerged from his sleeves. He drew it toward Guan Luoyang, waved his arm, and then made a sound.
"Good job, I should be next."
