Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 36: Twelve Forms Boxing
"The Twelve Forms of Xingyi are based on the Five Elements Boxing Mother Forms, with many hand techniques, body techniques, leg techniques and steps added to them, making the images richer and the power more comprehensive."

"The twelve forms include dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, crocodile, chicken, swallow, kite, snake, eagle, hawk, and bear."

"These twelve forms use fists to imitate the life forms and fighting skills of twelve animals."

“It’s a traditional routine of Xingyiquan.”

In the yard of Lu Donghua's house, he was explaining the basics of Twelve Forms Boxing to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan and the little girl Lu Wangyou were listening attentively on the side.

Lu Donghua said to the two of them with a serious look:

"Each of these forms includes some unique fighting methods, such as the dragon form, the dragon form flying up, the crouching dragon falling to the ground, the tiger form, the tiger holding the head, and the fierce tiger pouncing on its prey."

As he spoke, he performed several moves in front of the two of them. Fang Yan's eyes lit up and he hurried to memorize them carefully.

While speaking, Lu Donghua changed his moves and talked about other things:
"Monkey-shaped monkeys hanging seals, monkeys stealing ropes, monkeys climbing poles."

"The horse-shaped one pulls the reins, moves, and pushes. The alligator-shaped one flips the river left and right."

"The three-pierced palm in the shape of a chicken, the golden chicken shedding rice, the golden chicken all scales, the golden chicken on the shelf, the golden chicken announcing the dawn."

"The kite is in the shape of a kite. The kite is restrained in its body. The kite goes into the forest. The kite hits the hammer. The kite flies into the sky. The kite returns."

"The swallow-shaped ones, the swallow skimming the water, the swallow holding mud, the snake-shaped ones, the snake entwining, the snake raising its head, the snake turning around, and the bear's head and the eagle's claws, all belong to the category of the twelve forms."

"The Xingyi boxing manual says: The dragon has the method of searching for bones, the tiger has the courage to pounce on food, the monkey has the ability to climb mountains, the horse has the merit of leaving traces, the bream has the spirit of floating on water, the chicken has the courage to break through, the eagle has the skill of catching, the bear has the strength to raise its neck, the ox has the talent to raise its tail, the snake has the skill to pull grass, the kite has the spirit to enter the forest, and the swallow has the spirit of skimming water."

He was talking and fighting at the same time, and Fangyan was watching and taking notes. When Lu Donghua finished a set, Fangyan's mind was quickly digesting the punches he had just seen.

He was no longer a novice in Xingyiquan, and could tell that the Twelve Forms were derived from the Five Elements Boxing. It was just that Lu Donghua had not yet taught him the points to pay attention to, so the system had not been triggered. However, after just looking at it once, he found that he could understand quite a few moves.

"When I was young, I heard several traveling boxers say that as long as you learn part of it and master one or two moves, you can make a name for yourself in the martial arts world."

"For example, Guo Yunshen, who conquered the world with his Half-Step Collapse Fist, realized the essence of the Collapse Fist in the Five Elements Fist while in prison, broke through the shackles of previous martial arts, and developed a brand new fist move of his own. With this move, he became famous in the martial arts world."

After the fight, Mr. Lu continued to tell Fang Yan about his experience. Although Fang Yan showed great talent in this area, Mr. Lu believed that no matter how talented a person is, his energy is limited. If he wants to practice all twelve forms very well, it will take a lot of energy. In addition, he not only needs to learn martial arts, but also needs to continue to improve in medical skills. Therefore, Mr. Lu hopes that Fang Yan can find a direction and then work hard to perfect one or two moves.

As for the rest, as long as you can use it and know how to use it, it's fine.

Of course Fangyan also understood what Mr. Lu was thinking. This is the logic of a normal person, but he is systematic and of course there are no such restrictions.

It’s just that this matter cannot be talked about.

"Master, I understand what you mean, but I learned the Twelve Forms just to use the double sticks."

“I know what is important.”

Hearing this, Mr. Lu nodded and said:
"It's getting more and more chaotic outside now. We can run into robbers even when we come out for dinner. It's really necessary to learn Xingyi Double Sticks. If they didn't have anything in their hands today, it wouldn't be so easy for us to deal with them."

"Well now, I will teach you step by step from the dragon form."

"The twelve-form boxing has a rhyme formula. The dragon form belongs to Yin and searches for bone energy. Leaping left and right uses soft power. The two palms move through the flowers and rise and fall. The two legs must be flexible in their movements..."

As he spoke, Master Lu began to teach Fang Yan in detail. Soon Fang Yan knew the key points of the dragon form, and then he began to use the same fighting method, and then the system voice finally sounded:

[Ding! Divine Skill Experience System, Xingyiquan Twelve Forms Fist Dragon Form Fist + 10 years of experience]

In an instant, the two dragon-shaped moves that Mr. Lu had just taught him, the flying dragon and tiger, the crouching dragon, and the dragon-shaped body movements and steps, were all imprinted in Fangyan's mind as if they were skills that he had practiced hard and used for ten years, and muscle memory also appeared in his body.

Even though Mr. Lu had seen this several times before, when he saw Fang Yan's boxing moves, footwork and body movements, which had been a little off just now, suddenly become so sophisticated, he couldn't help but sigh that this talent was truly terrifying.

Originally, he planned to teach all twelve forms slowly, but now that he saw Fangyan had grasped the essence, he no longer hesitated and continued to teach the subsequent ones.

"The tiger is a masculine and brave creature. It is the best at jumping over streams and searching mountains. When it takes a quick step, it will use double drills, and with both palms it will gather energy and pounce like the wind!"

Fangyan wrote down Mr. Lu’s words and continued to study them seriously.

However, the twelve forms are indeed a bit too many, and I didn’t finish learning the dialect in one afternoon. After I finished learning the eighth form, it was almost time to get off work.

Fang Yan then remembered that he still had to go to Union Hospital to inquire about the acquisition of Gu Fang, and he also had to pick up his mother from get off work. He hurriedly said goodbye to Mr. Lu and took the bus to Union Hospital.

Fortunately, when he arrived, it was not yet time to get off work. Fang Yan went to his mother's outpatient clinic to take a look, said hello to her, and placed the banner and certificate for his bravery on her desk.

Before my mother could ask him what was going on, he ran to the Chinese medicine store on the first floor, where he could already see the acquisition documents on the notice board.

What is written above is much more detailed than what was previously published in the newspaper.

Only then did Fangyan understand how the value of this prescription was judged.

The value of a prescription is judged based on five aspects: irreplaceability, speed of effectiveness, wide use, and the value of the medicinal materials in the prescription.

If you want to sell this prescription, it needs to be tested after submitting it, and it will take about a week for a Chinese medicine pharmacist to evaluate its value.

Fangyan thought about it and took out a prescription for "Shenxian Huomingyin" from "Güke Wanjin Fang" and planned to try it out first.

He quickly found the leader of the Chinese medicine pharmacy, wrote down the prescription, and then registered his name, unit and home address.

Then I got a certificate from the hospital.

This means that the prescription has been submitted.

Fang Yan didn’t know how much this recipe could be sold for, but he was not in a hurry. He had just received a bonus and had some money and tickets in his hands, which was enough for the time being.

Thinking of this, he recalled what happened at noon. He wondered if the boss would come to the store again tomorrow because they caught a robber today.

Just then, he suddenly felt a pat on his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw a familiar face and was startled:
"you……"

"Comrade Xiao Fang! It's me! On the train, I'm Secretary Yan's secretary Xiao Yang!" the other party reminded.

Fangyan slapped his forehead:
"Oh, I remember now! Secretary Yang!"
