Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 97 Tai Chi Mantis (4K, please order first) 57
Fangyan originally wanted to find a topic to talk about Chinese martial arts and then take advantage of them, but it turned out that the sheep spoke first.

Fangyan knew it was time to introduce himself.

Recalling the scene of his first meeting with Tang Maoqian, the successor of the White Ape Tongbei Fist, he cupped his hands and said:
"Xingyi, dialect."

Seeing Fang Yan clasping his fists, Cui Changshou quickly clasped his fists as well and said loudly:
"Nice to meet you. I am Cui Changshou, the successor of Shandong Tai Chi Mantis."

Li Chuanwu, who was standing by, also bowed and said:

"Tianjin Bajiquan, Li Chuanwu."

When people who practice martial arts greet each other in this way, it is considered as completing a certain ritual.

Next, Fangyan explained to the curious people the process of his competition with Zhao Xiaolei, which satisfied their curiosity about the matter.

After all, they were transferred here, so of course they need to know what exactly happened.

After listening to Fangyan's story, the two of them had a general understanding of Fangyan's Kung Fu. Then it was Fangyan's turn to ask questions. Of course, the first thing he asked about was the Mantis Fist that he wanted to know the most.

Xiao Li once said that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. So far, he has only seen Mantis Fist in film and television works in his previous life, and other than that, he has never seen what the real Mantis Fist looks like.

Anyway, according to the description of his master and senior brothers, this style of boxing is quite powerful, but he has no idea how powerful it is or how powerful it is. Now he has finally met a successor of Mantis Boxing.

So Fangyan asked about the basic knowledge of Mantis Boxing.

Cui Changshou did not doubt it and immediately started to popularize the dialect.

Now Fang Yan understood that Praying Mantis Boxing is a major boxing style in Shandong, which is further divided into several types, including Seven-Star Praying Mantis Boxing, Tai Chi Praying Mantis Boxing, Liuhe Praying Mantis Boxing, Wrestling Praying Mantis, Eight-Step Praying Mantis, Plum Blossom Praying Mantis, etc.

Seven-Star Mantis is Seven-Star Changquan plus Mantis Fist, Six-Combination Mantis is Six-Combination Fist plus Mantis Fist.

But Tai Chi Mantis is not Tai Chi plus Mantis Boxing, but the formal traditional Mantis Boxing. The name is taken from the meaning of Tai Chi Hunyuan as the foundation. It was changed by Song Zide, the master of Tai Chi Mantis Boxing.

In other words, anyone who knows several other types of Mantis Boxing must know some Tai Chi Mantis Boxing.

Fangyan couldn't help but feel delighted when he heard this. According to this explanation, as long as he understood the fighting style of Tai Chi Mantis, he would basically understand the underlying logic of the other two types of Mantis boxing.

However, Cui Changshou's subsequent explanation made Fang Yan realize that he had oversimplified the matter.

Cui Changshou had never seen Mantis Boxing before because he heard the dialect, so he explained a little more. He said the basics of Mantis Boxing are very important. The so-called seven longs and eight shorts are: long and graceful steps, shaking steps to start, entanglement of both palms, face-to-face punching, striking with the hands and chopping with the palms, flipping over and rushing in, and a back-thrust punch.

The eight short punches are: facing head punch, leaning arm punch, squatting shoulder punch, sticking chest punch, and double knees and elbows.

Cui Changshou played while explaining in dialect.

I saw that his hands and elbows were extremely powerful. He hit when he attacked and he also hit when he pulled back.

When I put the dialect into my own words, I felt that this boxing move was different from any other boxing moves I had seen before.

Cui Changshou, who finished practicing a set of exercises, also said that Mantis boxing trains the whole strength of both hands, while there has always been a saying in this martial art that only the fist is taught but not the strength.

Then he showed Fangyan some more techniques.

It gave Fangyan an experience of a completely different kind of Mantis Fist that was different from the ones seen in previous movies and TV shows, and that focused on actual combat.

Of course, what Cui Changshou said are all the basic knowledge of Tai Chi Mantis.

The rest of the big and small throws, eight directions, middle road flip, random connection, collapse and repair, plum blossom road, five-section clones and eight elbows, and six-section summary were just performed to tell him a name.

The details were not given to Fangyan.

After listening to this, Fangyan suddenly felt that Mantis Boxing had a profound foundation. Tai Chi Mantis alone was so complicated, and the other variants were probably even more difficult to deal with. No wonder the master was so worried about facing a formidable enemy.

However, Fangyan also knows that no matter how many and complicated the theories are, they will ultimately depend on the people who use these skills, so in the end the real test will have to be put into practice.

He carefully recalled Cui Changshou's movements and part of the explanation just now, and tried to understand them with his existing boxing experience.

He tentatively asked Cui Changshou about some things he didn't understand.

Cui Changshou saw that he was only asking the basics and his answer was not coherent, so he told him directly without hiding anything.

After listening to Fangyan, he instantly understood some of the things he didn't understand. Then he seemed to have summed up some of the logic of Mantis Fist. After pondering it himself, he suddenly heard a system prompt suddenly ringing in his mind:
[Ding! Divine Skill Experience System, Tai Chi Praying Mantis Boxing Basic Experience Understanding +10 Years]

In an instant, his still vague understanding became clear, and then countless images of Cui Changshou boxing just now were connected with these inferences and presented quickly and completely.

A set of basic experiential understanding of Mantis Boxing appeared in his mind.

Become!

Fangyan had never expected that he could actually deduce the basic knowledge of Tai Chi Mantis through the Xingyiquan and part of the Dragon Form Bagua Youshen Palm he had already learned. Just by piecing together this, he actually enhanced the basic experience understanding trigger system.

This shows that his understanding just now was correct, and he has already understood the basic logic of Tai Chi Mantis Boxing.

"Are you okay, Doctor Fang?" Cui Changshou saw Fang Yan's eyes suddenly become dull and didn't know what was wrong with him.

Fang Yan finally came to his senses and hurriedly said that he was fine.

After a preliminary understanding, Fangyan did not ask any further questions.

This is just understanding the basics, which is equivalent to just getting started. If you want to trigger complex blessings through chatting and demonstrations, it feels a bit difficult with dialects.

Besides, I've asked enough questions today. If I say more, people will probably become suspicious.

It’s good to have a harvest.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then a patient came. Fangyan greeted the two of them and then returned to the desk to start seeing the patient.

After he left, Cui Changshou outside the door began to praise Li Chuanwu's dialect:
"Look at him. No wonder he has such ability at such a young age. He is not proud at all and still maintains such a humble attitude towards other martial arts schools."

"At this age, being able to have this mentality is better than many of my peers."

Li Chuanwu nodded and smiled:

"Hey, that's right. If I were his age and could defeat someone like Zhao Xiaolei, I would be so proud of myself. I would be second to the heavens and look down on anyone who comes."

"But look at his mentality. Not to mention people of the same age, even if it were me now, I probably wouldn't be as calm as him."

The two of them praised Fang Yan, and it was obvious that they admired this young man very much.

I didn’t know that the younger generation has already reaped a lot of benefits.

On the other side, the brothers Yan Jin and Yan Hua, who had their ears checked at Union Hospital, walked out of the hospital.

The content of the report in Dajin's hand was basically the same as Fangyan's judgment in the morning.

He smacked his lips and exclaimed:

"Hey, I just told him a symptom, and he predicted everything correctly. Isn't this amazing?"

After that, he said to the people around him:

"Let's go find Doctor Fang."

……

“Ohhh…it’s so numb, ohhh…doctor, is there electricity on your needle???”

A young man in his twenties was screaming in the back hall.

"Don't scream, just keep breathing."

Fangyan gave a silent reminder and then twisted the long needle.

The patient felt chest tightness, and after feeling his pulse in dialect, we found that his spleen and stomach were in poor condition. However, as he was young, the problem was not too serious, so we treated him with acupuncture.

The silver needle was inserted into the Neiguan and Waiguan points on the wrist. The needle penetrated the hand. There was no bleeding and no pain, but the strange experience of being electrocuted made the young man scream.

Acupuncture is called micro-passage in acupuncture, while the method of piercing through two acupuncture points and passing through the body, or the previous method of bloodletting with a needle, is called strong-passage in acupuncture.

As Fangyan finished his needle, the young man shuddered:
"Ah...comfortable!"

Then he said in dialect:

"Doctor, your acupuncture makes me feel so comfortable. My chest is no longer stuffy. I have never felt so good before. Hey, I will come to see you next time."

Everyone present was speechless. Fang Yan shook his head and asked Jia Dapeng to clean up the scene while he went back to the front desk to prescribe medicine for the patient.

The patient didn't have any serious problems, he just needed to regulate his spleen and stomach, and he would recover soon. After sending this somewhat masochistic patient away, Fang Yan's attention returned to the Mantis Boxing. After understanding the basics of the fist, Fang Yan began to think about how to fight in a duel.

After some thoughts flashed through his mind, Fang Yan felt that he still needed time in the next few days to have a real fight with Cui Changshou, just like the previous actual fighting sparring with Li Lianjie.

In addition, the Dragon Shape Bagua Swimming Palm is also a good skill. Especially when facing this kind of opponent, that body movement becomes particularly useful.

I have to learn all the skills from Xiao Li in the afternoon, but the palm techniques become more and more difficult as I go on. I don’t know if I can learn all of them in the afternoon?
But it’s still early, and if I learn one move a day, it’s still early until the 18th.

It was enough for him to master all nine styles.

With the system at my disposal, I feel so confident.

After making up his mind, Fang Yan came to his senses, opened the thermos and took a sip of tea.

Then he noticed that the tea tasted a little strange.

Upon closer inspection, I found that a piece of tangerine peel had been replaced at some point.

Jia Dapeng on the side seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He immediately said:
"Brother Fang, you were chatting outside just now, and the store manager asked me to make you some. He said it was made from Guangdong dried tangerine peel that just arrived this morning. Drinking it will be good for your health."

Fangyan realized that the thing Le Miao brought so much in the morning was actually dried tangerine peel.

He turned his head to look at Le Miao and found that she was also drinking a glass of water.

Seeing Fang Yan looking at her, she smiled and asked:

"Does it taste okay?"

"Not bad." Fangyan smacked his lips.

Tangerine peel, especially Guangdong tangerine peel, has a long history of being used as medicine.

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Yang suffered from a breast disease and the imperial doctors were helpless. Huang Guanghan used Xinhui tangerine peel as the main medicine and asked his wife to prescribe medicine for Empress Dowager Yang, curing her breast disease. Afterwards, Emperor Lizong conferred the title of First-Rank Lady on Huang Guanghan's wife.

Later, Guangdong dried tangerine peel was used by some famous doctors to treat breast diseases, so it became famous.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, dried tangerine peel had become an indispensable medicinal ingredient in the palace pharmacy.

Before the dialect traveled through time, some people even sold Guangdong dried tangerine peel at sky-high prices.

The price is outrageous.

Before Fangyan traveled through time, he had seen many southern businessmen who liked to give expensive tangerine peels as gifts.

When Fangyan drinks dried tangerine peel now, his first reaction is to calculate how much the dried tangerine peel can be sold for in the future.

The tangerine peel from Le Miao is obviously of good quality and age.

I don’t know whether she bought it herself or from the Tong Ren Tang store.

Just then, a quarrel was heard outside the store.

"What do you mean? Why can't we go in?"

"Don't make noise, don't cause trouble, I'm only warning you once."

It was obvious that someone was having a quarrel with Cui Changshou and Li Chuanwu who were standing guard at the door.

Fang Yan and Le Miao's faces changed, thinking that it might be Zhao Xiaolei's people who came to cause trouble.

Le Miao walked out first.

"What's wrong?" Le Miao asked when he saw several people outside being stopped by Cui Li and others.

Li Chuanwu pointed at the people in front of him and said to Le Miao:

"From the way they are dressed, it's clear they are not here to see a doctor."

"He's a slacker with long hair."

Le Miao took a look and found that quite a few young people had the same style.

Behind them stood a burly man with a ferocious look in his eyes.

"Are you Zhao Xiaolei's people?" Le Miao asked them.

Some people were confused:
"What Zhao Xiaolei?"

"We are looking for Doctor Fang."

Le Miao narrowed his eyes. Are you here to cause trouble for Fangyan?
Fortunately, Cui Changshou and Li Chuanwu are blocking here today, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"Doctor Fang!" At this moment, Le Miao saw a burly man waving behind him.

Fang Yan came out at this time and responded to the visitor:
"Da Jin, have you finished your checkup at Concord Hospital?"

Now Le Miao, Cui Changshou and Li Chuanwu were confused, things seemed to be different from what they expected.

Fang Yan said to Le Miao and the others:

"This is a friend of mine, he's here to see a doctor, they're not here to cause trouble, don't get me wrong."

After hearing the words in Fangyan, several people finally reacted. Cui Changshou and Li Chuanwu apologized to them quickly with some embarrassment.

Da Jin waved his hands and didn't take it seriously.

Of course, the main reason is that his younger brothers didn’t look like good people.

He asked his younger brother to wait outside the door and took his younger brother Yan Hua into Tongrentang. As soon as he entered the room, he took out the examination report he got from Union Hospital.

Fangyan didn't expect that they would get the report so quickly, and he felt deeply moved: It's worthy of being Union Medical College.

If it were any other hospital, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get it so quickly.

From this era to a period of time later, hospital reports were basically issued at fixed times. It was rare to see reports issued in the morning.

Sometimes, for slightly worse areas, the inspection report will be normal after a few days.

Of course, there are some things that do take a few days to report.

Fang Yuan took a look at the diagnosis report and found that it was exactly the same as his judgment this morning.

"Blast-induced deafness, severe retraction of bilateral eardrums, and high protrusion of the auditory bones." Fang Yan nodded, then gestured to Yan Hua, asking him to stick out his tongue for him to see.

The tongue coating is thin.

Then Fangyan checked his pulse again.

"It's the same as my judgment this morning." Fangyan said.

Hearing this, Da Jin nodded excitedly:
"That's right. I was saying that you are amazing, Doctor Fang. The hospital's examination report is exactly the same as what you said this morning."

"They still asked us to do the surgery as soon as possible. At that time, I remembered what you said about trying Chinese medicine and acupuncture first, so I hurriedly brought my brother here."

Fangyan smiled and said:

"Okay, since you trust me so much, I will treat him. However, his condition is quite serious, so it may take a while."

Da Jin said quickly:

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you can cure my ear without surgery, the longer it takes, the better. I still trust you more."

Fang Yan nodded and pointed to the back hall towards Jia Dapeng:

"Dapeng is preparing for acupuncture."

"Okay." Jia Dapeng ran to the back hall happily.

Fang Yan quickly wrote out a prescription and said to Le Miao:

"Ledian! I want to increase the dosage of some medicinal materials in Master Dou's Muxiang Liuqi Drink. Can you give me a prescription?"
