Chapter 111 I'm fine, I just need to change my pants
As soon as the lama finished speaking, he walked into the yard first. At this time, Xiang Yuanyuan had already picked up the kitten and hid away, but Doji walked out of the room, stood under the eaves, and began to watch the two people's competition seriously.
The two men stood still, the lama half-squatted in a horse stance, clasped his hands together, slightly bent over and shrugged his shoulders, making a half-hug posture, which was very similar to wrestling.
Du Ruo stood sideways in a bow stance with his hands spread out, performing the Bajiquan Erlang Picking the Mountain movement, one forward and one backward.
In fact, in traditional martial arts, the bow stance is rarely used as a starting point, because the bow stance is a very offensive posture. This starting position is more common in the bold and aggressive Bajiquan.
After the two made the gesture, no one moved and just stood there.
"Squeak~"
The half-open temple door was pushed open from the outside, and the old wooden door made a slight sound, which was like a fuse.
"boom!"
Du Ruo stomped his feet hard, and the weak ground was crushed by his foot. A huge noise was heard, and at the same time, Du Ruo's body rushed out. In the mid-air, Du Ruo stretched out his right hand behind him and swung a semicircle in the air, and hit the lama's head. It was Bajiquan - Tiger Climbing the Mountain.
Du Ruo's move was swift, and the charge was short but the attack was fast, but the distance was far, so there had to be a process in between. So the lama on the opposite side immediately turned to the right when Du Ruo stomped his feet, dodging Du Ruo's palm while slapping Du Ruo's ear with his left hand like a whip, which seemed like he was the last to arrive but was the first to arrive.
When the Lama turned sideways, Du Ruo's palm strike changed in the air and struck at the back of the opponent's hand.
"Bang~"
The collision between the palm and the arm did not produce a crisp "pop" sound, but rather a sound like two wooden sticks touching each other.
The lama's backhand clap was blocked by Du Ruo, but his movement was not restricted. He turned half a circle, turned his back, swung his right hand in a circle, and hit Du Ruo's head with his backhand.
The Lama's two movements were wide open and closed, and mainly used palms, which gave a feeling of the long and distant strike of Tongbiquan.
Du Ruo was not prepared for this move. He clenched his left fist and retracted it into an elbow, and continued to move forward. At the same time as he was hit by the Lama's backhand palm, he used the Baji Dingxin Elbow to hit the old man on the back.
“Bang! Bang~”
Du Ruo was hit on the head by the opponent's backhand slap, but because of Du Ruo's sudden advance, the slap only hit the head with the forearm, which greatly reduced the power of the move.
However, Du Ruo's elbow hit the opponent's back solidly. Of course, Du Ruo held back. Considering the opponent's eighty-year-old age, Du Ruo only used 30% of his strength in this move. But when Du Ruo's elbow hit the opponent's back, he felt something was wrong.
This blow was like hitting a smooth leather ball, and there was energy surging under the skin. This was a manifestation of the extremely high level of internal and external self-defense skills practiced. But despite this, Du Ruo still knocked the Lama away several steps.
"Young man, you are quite respectful to the elders and have retained a lot of strength. However, the palm-turning iron crotch skill I practice does not only protect the crotch. After mastering this skill, you will be immune to cold and heat, and invulnerable to swords and guns. It is considered a good self-defense skill."
The lama smiled. He knew that Du Ruo was holding back. Of course, he dared to attack without defending because he was confident that he had magical skills to protect him. Otherwise, he would not have exposed his vital points to Du Ruo and taken this attack head-on. This was intended to test Du Ruo's level, and it was also a sign of enough confidence in himself.
The fight just now ended in a split second. Both of them wanted to test the waters and neither of them used their best skills.
But compared to the two people's nonchalant response, the people outside the temple were already stunned. The person who just pushed the door was Qiangzi, and next to him were Wu Jing and the star who was injured today. The two came here specifically to thank Du Ruo. As a martial arts star, Wu Jing knew the value of Du Ruo, so he wanted to make friends with him.
Just because Qiangzi sent a message to Du Ruo but Du Ruo didn't reply, he drove to the pastoral area with the two of them. When passing by the temple, he happened to see a car parked at the door and thought that Du Ruo should be in the temple, so he stopped to take a look. Who would have thought that as soon as he opened the door, he would see such an exciting scene.
"In this case, please be careful, senior."
Du Ruo stood still again, this time choosing the Three-Body Stance plus Dragon Palm to start. From the initial contact he had already seen how difficult his opponent was. His moves were flexible and varied, and he also had body protection skills. It would be a disadvantage for him to fight head-on against such an opponent. The Dragon Palm was the most convenient way to change moves, and could also deal with various situations.
"Please~"
The lama still stood in the same posture, but he said "please" with his mouth. His expression did not relax, but instead became more serious.
"drink!!"
It was Du Ruo who took the initiative. He had seen that the Lama was very good at defense and counterattack, and he seemed to be able to strike later but succeed. So he simply took the initiative to attack, because Xingyiquan is best at dealing with various changes of moves.
He changed his palm into a fist and threw a tiger-shaped cannon punch straight at the Lama's Danzhong. This move was a change of tactics, meant to test the opponent's reaction. If the opponent resisted, he would change his fist into a finger, use the Bronze Man Technique to break the Danzhong acupoint and then take his pulse, in order to break his body-protecting skills first.
"Bang~"
The lama clapped his arms with his backhand, one palm slapped Du Ruo's arm, and with the other hand he opened his palm to grab Du Ruo's head while pressing his upper body forward. His movements were a bit strange.
The grab towards Du Ruo's head was somewhat like the Green Dragon Claw in grappling, and the forward pressure of the upper body was a bit like the grabbing method in wrestling. The strange moves were unfamiliar to Du Ruo, but he was aware of the danger. If the opponent grabbed his head and pressed down on him with his arms and upper body, his head could be twisted off in an instant.
This kind of grappling technique is very effective, especially when the opponent has protective martial arts. The opponent will rely on the martial arts to protect his body and take your head when he is beaten.
Since the opponent wanted to play to his strengths (defense) and avoid his weaknesses (strength and physical strength), Du Ruo simply adopted the same strategy, playing to his strengths (strength and physical strength) and avoiding his weaknesses (defense?), using grappling to counter grappling.
The left hand uses the Baji Quan to wrap the arm together with the opponent's arm. When both parties are masters of grappling, the competition is about strength. Whoever is stronger can capture the opponent.
While capturing, Du Ruo did not relax his fingers. He kept pressing on the opponent's acupoints, and his right hand grabbed the Lama's throat like an eagle claw.
Seeing this, the Lama had no choice but to use the same grappling technique to entangle Du Ruo's right arm and break Du Ruo's eagle claw.
The two men's arms were entangled, and it was impossible to tell who would win for a while, but Du Ruo used his arms to fight back. It was obvious that his strength was stronger than Lama's. As long as the distance lasted a little longer, Du Ruo would be able to counterattack and capture the opponent.
So, what came next was a fight on the feet, but in this kind of fight, neither side had any special leg techniques to speak of, they just kicked with their toes and hit with their knees, but it was obvious that Du Ruo was at a disadvantage.
Because Du Ruo needed to protect his lower body and Lama didn't, the name of the Iron Crotch Technique was not called for nothing. Lama quickly gained the upper hand by not defending his skills and began to press his body towards Du Ruo.
One second they were posing like masters, the next they were tangled together like prairie wrestling, and for a moment it was unclear who had the upper hand.
Du Ruo kicked at various acupuncture points on the opponent's legs with his toes, but it was of no use. The Lama hit his lower body three times and kept pressing down on his upper body, so he had to retreat step by step.
"Bang~" Du Ruo kept backing away until his back touched the stone pillar at the main entrance of the temple. At this time, Du Ruo had nowhere to retreat.
"Chance!!"
The two of them shouted in their hearts almost at the same time, and then started to attack at the same time.
"Hum~"
The lama opened his mouth and uttered the Buddhist mantra. The huge sound made Du Ruo's scalp numb, and he subconsciously wanted to let go, but immediately the "God" in Du Ruo's mind flowed down like water, and all Du Ruo's discomfort disappeared in an instant.
Du Ruo tilted his head and hit the Lama with his shoulder, using the Xingyi Bear Arm to hit the Lama's chest. Du Ruo used his back to exert force to unleash the full power of this attack.
"boom!!"
Du Ruo's tremendous force knocked the Lama back, but his arms were caught by Du Ruo, and he stopped after only half a step. Just as he was about to steady his body, Du Ruo shook his waist, and the Tai Chi force caused his arms to shake at the same time, shaking off the Lama's fingers that were clasped on his shoulders.
At the same time, he suddenly straightened his arms, grasped with both palms, and pressed the acupoints on the Lama's shoulders downwards. While pressing the acupoints, he injected Qi into the opponent's acupoints. However, the opponent was practicing both inside and outside, so the tiny amount of Qi in Du Ruo's fingertips could only adhere to the surface of each acupoint.
Soon Du Ruo finished pinching the Lama's acupuncture points from shoulders to wrists. Then Du Ruo freed his hands, grabbed with his arms, and pressed several important acupuncture points on Lama's Ren meridian.
The Lama wanted to stop it upon seeing this, and gathered his Qi with his arm to hit Du Ruo's head. Unfortunately, as soon as he exerted his strength, the "Qi" that he had felt flowed freely before was like a burst balloon, dispersing from all the acupuncture points on his arm, and he was unable to gather Qi at all.
The lama was shocked, and immediately understood why Du Ruo could release the strength of his arm just by shaking his arm. Du Ruo had been pressing the acupoints from the beginning. Thinking of this, and remembering that his fingers were still pressing various acupoints, the lama exerted force on his feet, trying to push off the ground and move back.
It was a pity that when the strength reached his feet and his legs exerted force, his body did not move at all. Du Ruo's kicking with his toes just now was not in vain, each kick had its purpose.
"It's over~"
The lama looked ashen. Du Ruo had already touched his entire body, and the lama could also see the muscles on Du Ruo's body changing. It was obviously a killing move that started from the ground and accumulated power.
The lama realized that the energy in his body had dissipated and he was completely unable to use the energy to fill his body. If it was Du Ruo, the dissipation of energy would not be a big problem. He had great strength himself, and pure physical strength could also produce extraordinary effects.
But the lama was different. He was already eighty years old. After Du Ruo finished pointing, he just felt weak, his legs went soft, and he even fell down.
"drink!!"
Du Ruo had been accumulating strength, his body standing upright like a wild horse. Only when he saw the lama fall to the ground did a smile appear on his face. At this time, his strength had reached its peak. With a light shout, he punched the open space in front of him with both fists, using the Xingyi Horse Form - Bengquan.
Directly opposite Du Ruo was the gate of the temple. When the lama opposite Du Ruo fell down, the three people outside the temple were facing the punch directly. In their eyes, Du Ruo at this moment was like a wild horse standing upright, about to step down with its hoof, and they were right under the horse's hoof. Almost at the same time, the three of them trembled as if they had touched an electric switch, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Bang~"
Du Ruo punched the air with both fists, and the strength that had been accumulating for a while burst out of his body, creating a strong wind that could be felt by the three people seven or eight meters away.
It is conceivable that if this blow were to hit him, even if the lama had some skills to protect himself, his body would still be blown away and his internal organs would be shattered.
“Haha, hahahaha~~Refreshing, refreshing. Um… Master, are you okay?”
Du Ruo stood there and laughed for a while, feeling his whole body refreshed and happy. After laughing, he remembered the lama who had fallen to the ground. He quickly lent a hand, helped him up, and started asking questions.
"I'm fine, but I was so scared that I might need to change my pants."
The lama smiled bitterly, shook his head and stood up. As he spoke, he carefully circulated the strength through his body again. Feeling his body being embraced by the strength, that strong sense of security seemed to return to him again. The lama then breathed a sigh of relief.
"What method did you use just now? Tibetan martial arts also have the technique of taking pulses, but it is far less powerful than what you have shown."
The lama asked curiously. Even though he had practiced Buddhism for many years, he still found it difficult to remain calm when facing the feeling of being completely out of energy. However, the feeling of losing everything in an instant and having no control over his life and death also made him gain a lot.
"This is the Fujian Bronze Man Technique, which is a technique for capturing, pressing acupoints and severing meridians. It is specifically designed to break all kinds of body protection techniques."
Du Ruo replied with a smile. He had to admit that this technique was really useful. He had only used it simply just now since it was just a sparring match. However, its concealment was also very high. Even a master like Lama could only detect it when it exploded.
"Well, it's a great harvest. I think these guests outside are probably here to see you. It's getting late, so I won't stay here any longer."
The lama glanced at the three people standing outside the temple, who seemed to have not yet recovered from Du Ruo's punch, nodded to Du Ruo, and then prepared to see them off.
"Master, goodbye."
Du Ruo clasped his fists and looked deeply at the other person and Doji behind him. Some people are just passers-by, and it is almost impossible to see them again after one meeting.
The lama sent Du Ruo out of the temple and did not close the temple door again until the two groups got in the car and left for the ranch.
Li Qiyao was driving, and Du Ruo closed his eyes and recalled the fight with Lama just now.
We didn't fight much just now, but we can see a lot.
First of all, the opponent mainly uses palm techniques and grappling, and also some wrestling unique to the grassland.
The second is Kung Fu, which involves practicing both external and internal Kung Fu, making the backs of hands and fingers as hard as iron and the whole body full of vigor.
Finally, there was God. That roar coming towards him was definitely a combination of sound and God. The sound alone could not make Du Ruo want to let go.
Fortunately, Du Ruo had solid basic skills (high attributes), and he practiced Hunyuan Qigong, achieving a circulation of essence, energy and spirit, so that the roar did not have full effect.
