Chapter 27 worldly drama

There is a gun, no matter what your impression of it is, it seems destined to be included in the history of weapon development, that is the legendary rifle AK-47. On December 23, 2013, the generation of gun king Kalashni who invented this rifle Kefu passed away. For more than 60 years, he has witnessed the popularity of this gun in the world. It has been used in major wars, regional conflicts, and independence movements. My main job is to read Jin Yong.People often ask: What is the most powerful martial art in Jin Yong's arena?This question lacks novelty.Here I would like to discuss, among the more than a hundred kinds of strange and weird martial arts in Jinyong Jianghu, which one can be called AK-47?

It must meet the following conditions: simple, cheap, easy to learn, durable, rough, tough, strong firepower, long history, wide spread, good and evil, it is a classic in everyone's mind. There are many martial arts shortlisted.Let's talk about the famous ones, such as the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon.However, the firepower of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon is too fierce, more like a Browning M2HB heavy machine gun, not like a rough semi-automatic rifle. Moreover, there are too few people in the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon, and the elite flavor is too strong, which is completely inconsistent with the civilian temperament of AK-47 in many places.According to my rough statistics, in the fourteen books of Jin Yong, there are only 8 famous and testable people who have learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. They are Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, Guo Polu, Yeluqi, Xiao Feng, Wang Jiantong, Shi Huolong, Li pregnancy.And what about the AK-47?It is said that in Hyderabad in 1988, it was conservatively estimated that there were 80,000 AK-47s. You may encounter people exchanging fire with AK-47s when you go out.

Another martial art that is expected to be shortlisted is the super sneak attack stunt "innuendo".It is easy to operate and has strong firepower. Wei Xiaobao, who knows no martial arts at all, is equipped with such a set, and immediately dares to challenge the first-class master Feng Xifan.However, this product is also a high-end product and cannot be mass-produced. Although Wei Xiaobao is rich as a country, he can only get one set for himself at best. When it comes to vicious and lethal ones, such as Hua Gu Mian Zhang, it can be said to be the number one martial art dedicated to Gongdouju.Back then, in the gloomy palace of the Qing Dynasty, the fake empress dowager fought Hai Dafu angrily, making Hua Gu Mian Zhang famous in a single battle.It's just that it is more than feminine, not tough enough, and there are still too few people who know it, and it doesn't quite match the AK-47.

What is the martial arts that is really qualified to be called AK-47?I think it is the Arhat Fist of Shaolin Temple. Yes, you read that right, it is Arhat Boxing. Let us turn our eyes to the vast Songshan Mountain thousands of years ago!In the Shaolin Temple, the holy place of martial arts, a set of the most simple and unpretentious boxing was born.It is destined to be popular all over the world, surpassing all other various martial arts, and shining the most dazzling light in the era of cold weapons. ——It is simple and superficial, and it is the most basic civilian martial arts, but it is enough to arm a farmer into a warrior.

"When you arrive in Shaolin, you should first learn Arhat boxing." It is one of the first basic kung fu that every Shaolin disciple learns.Even though it is superficial, even a young man who has no strength to restrain a chicken, if he has learned this set of Arhat boxing, he will officially enter the arena. Back then, when the good monk Xu Zhu stepped into the rivers and lakes in a daze, he knew only two sets of martial arts: one was Wei Tuo Zhang, and the other was Arhat Boxing.It's like a child soldier walking on the street in a war-torn area. Although he looks immature and thin, he carries an AK-47 on his back. How dare you go up to provoke him and try to stick his nostrils?

——It is ancient and the most widely spread, and no one in the world knows it or knows it, just like everyone has an AK-47. In Jin Yong's arena, there are some people who don't know the Palm of Despondency and the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Kung Fu, but I guess there is no one who doesn't know the Arhat Boxing, otherwise you still have the face to come out? It is old enough that Xu Zhu in the Northern Song Dynasty was using Luohan Quan, and Zhang Sanfeng in the Yuan Dynasty was still using Luohan Quan.How similar is this to the AK-47.It is said that the AK-47 produced in 1956 can still be found in Afghanistan. It has been passed on many times in the hands of Soviet soldiers, local militias, and Afghan soldiers. The performance is very good, and it can be used for decades .

——It is simple and cheap, but it has powerful firepower. As long as you are brave enough, a set of Arhat Fist is enough to resist peerless masters. In Jin Yong Jianghu, how many masters of the generation have the experience of fighting with Arhat Fist.Just like the AK-47, militias use it, as do presidents and tyrants; government troops use it, and guerrillas also use it; armies of major powers use it, and primitive tribes also use it. Back then, on Mount Shaoshi, the young Zhang Sanfeng beat the "Three Sages of Kunlun" with a set of the most common Arhat boxing.Going back hundreds of years, it was also in the Shaolin Temple that the Great Wheel Ming King Jiumozhi came to provoke him. He was covered with sophisticated weapons, such as "seventy-two unique skills", "small non-phase skills", "flame knife" and so on. A squadron of Longbow Apache helicopters coming for an air strike.However, our good monk Xu Zhu appeared with an AK-47.He only used one set of Arhat Boxing, and he only used that move "Black Tiger Pulling Out His Heart" with a dull head, punch after punch, until those high-level weapons of Jiumozhi were overshadowed, and he had no choice but to flee.

——Its status is classic and lofty. In the minds of Jianghu people, it is a symbol of martial arts and has irreplaceable significance. Here, the rivers and lakes are facing unprecedented catastrophe, and the masters of the six sects are almost wiped out by Zhao Min.At the juncture of life and death, Zhang Sanfeng, as the master of martial arts, what kind of martial arts did he choose to pass on to future generations?That's right, it's Arhat Fist! He took out a pair of iron-cast arhats that can practice Arhat boxing with great care, and handed them to his apprentice Yu Daiyan: "I hope that from this pair of iron arhats, we can pass on a unique skill of the Shaolin school!"

——It also has a unique commemorative significance, and it is the best gift for relatives and friends by the masters of the rivers and lakes.What was the birthday present that Zen Master Wu Se gave Guo Xiang?It's Arhat Fist!What is Guo Xiang's commemorative gift to young Zhang Sanfeng?It's Arhat Fist!What did Zhang Sanfeng leave to his apprentice Yu Daiyan?It's still Arhat Fist! ——It is both good and evil.The eminent monk who created Arhat Boxing back then must have originally intended to protect the Dharma and subdue demons, just like the gun king Kalashnikov invented the AK-47, it must also be to defend the country.However, the situation in the world is changing. In fact, Buddhas also use it, and demons also use it.A good person like Xu Zhu has learned it, and a violent villain like Huo Gong Toutuo has also learned it; even Guo Xiang used Arhat Fist to beat Wuse Zen Master, Zhang Sanfeng used Arhat Fist to fight against Shaolin, and created a Wudang Clan to confront Shaolin Clan I'm afraid the eminent monk who created Arhat Boxing didn't expect it!

Arhat Boxing and AK-47 are both weapons.They obey a common law of weapons-the person who invents a weapon is often not as famous as the person who uses it.Just like the eminent monk who created Luohanquan in Shaolin Temple, he didn’t leave his name at all. We will never know who he is, but the later generations of Luohanquan users such as Guo Xiang, Wu Se, Zhang Junbao, and Xu Zhu are famous through the ages. Just like today, no matter how much the media commemorates the gun king who invented the AK-47, who among women and children remembers "Kalashnikov"? This is not because the name of the gun king is too difficult to pronounce, but because the person who invented the weapon only created the body of the weapon, and only the person who used the weapon truly wrote the character of the weapon. "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon" is not necessarily brighter and more righteous than "Nine Yin God Catch", it is Xiao Feng and Guo Jing who make it great.In the novel, in the city of Xiangyang, before the Yanmen Pass, when they used such powerful violence to traverse the rivers and lakes, they still did not forget to chant a sentence: "We know that soldiers are weapons of murder, and saints have to use them as a last resort."
