The Gang has always been the largest gang among jin yong martial artists, not only in large numbers, but also in a large number of masters. In particular, the gang leaders are often one of the top masters in the world. Especially in the era of Tianlong Babu, the era of the legend of the archery hero and the era of the eagle hero.
Since the Third Xiangyang War, the great hero Guo Jing and his wife Huang Rong sacrificed their lives for the country, and his son-in-law Yelüqi, who was also the leader of the Gang, was missing, and since then, the Gang has declined. In the era of yitian slaughtering dragons, Shi Huolong, the leader of the Gang of Servants, only learned twelve of the eighteen palms of the descending dragon, and both sides were injured in the contest with the Chaoyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, what was the reason?
01
First, by the time of the Yitian Dragon Slayer, many martial arts of the previous generation had been lost. Not only were the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon only handed down twelve palms, but even the Quanzhen Sect Martial Arts, the Peach Blossom Island Martial Arts, and the White Camel Mountain Martial Arts were gradually lost, and even the Yiyang Finger of the Dali Duan Clan was gone.
Although the overall level of martial arts in the Yitian Era was not low, it had relied too much on the transmission of the Sect, the most typical of which was the Six Gate Sect.
Therefore, it is not an isolated case that only twelve palms are left in the martial arts of descending dragons. Although only twelve palms remained of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, after all, it was the martial arts essence of the previous generation, so the power was naturally not ordinary.
originally. Elder Li of the Cai Gang in the archery eagle could maneuver with Ouyang Ke, who was also a first-class master, for a long time with a palm of the Divine Dragon's tail.
Although Cheng Kun's martial arts were higher than Ouyang Ke's, he would inevitably be overwhelmed in the face of the Twelve Palms descending dragon and eighteen palms.

Second, when Shi Huolong began to cultivate the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, he had been living in seclusion and recuperating from illness because of his poor internal strength, which led to the paralysis of his arms. Later, after being ninety percent better, he could confront Cheng Kun. In fact, there is a contradiction in this.
That is, when Hong Qigong taught Guo Jing the Eighteen Palms of descending dragons, he did not pay attention to the internal force. At that time, Guo Jing's internal strength was definitely not high, and it was far from ke Zhen evil and Zhu Cong among the seven monsters in Jiangnan, and at most it was Han Xiaoying's level. Why could Guo Jing cultivate?
It is more likely that it was taught by Hong Qigong, and Hong Qigong's understanding of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon was not comparable to that of the gang leaders after YelüQi. Therefore, it would put forward a higher threshold for cultivating the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon.
Although Shi Huolong's martial arts at that time were not as good as those of Cheng Kun and Xie Xun, at least they would reach the level of He Taichong, the head of the Kunlun Sect, Tieqin, and it was bound to be much higher than that of the Five Elders of Kun Tong.
That is, the extent to which Cheng Kun could not easily defeat it. Judging from the performance of the law enforcement elders and chuangong elders in the battle of the Shaolin Temple later, it was not up to the level of Song Qingshu who cultivated the accelerated version of the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Shi Huolong's martial arts can also be imagined.

Third, Shi Huolong injured Cheng Kun at the beginning, which just showed that the power of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon was still there. Because Shi Huolong's overall strength is far inferior to Cheng Kun's, if it were not for the sudden injury of the other party with the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, once the real contest was made, then within dozens of moves, Shi Huolong would undoubtedly lose. This illustrates the need to win by surprise.
In the Battle of Shaolin Temple, although it is said that the hundred-footed insects are dead and not stiff, the decline is already an obvious thing. The influence of the Cai Gang on the jianghu has been incomparable with the era of archery and god eagles. In addition to the fact that these generations of gang leaders are more mediocre, as the most important pillar of the martial arts foundation of the gang leader, the eighteen palms of the descending dragon have only twelve palms left, which is enough to explain the decline of the gang.
And when the Six Gate Sect besieged the Top of The Light, they didn't even let the Cai Gang participate. What's more, after Shi Huolong's death, three of the four elders of the Gang died, and a little girl Shi Hongshi was elected as the leader of the gang, all of which showed that the gang had gone, and only the tens of thousands of disciples who were known as the gang could be left to support the scene.
It can be judged that if the original version of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon cannot be found, then there will be no twelve palms left after the Shi Huolong, and in another generation or two, it may be completely lost.
