The Spirit Snake Fist comes from Mr. Jin Yong's book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was used by the great prostitute Ouyang Ke for the first time.
The original text described: "Ouyang Ke suddenly punched out, Guo Jing raised his hand to block, but Ouyang Ke's arm seemed to be suddenly boneless, turned around, and with a bang, Guo Jing was actually punched in the neck."
Guo Jing was startled, lowered his head and rushed out, turned around and palmed, Ouyang Ke stepped away obliquely, and returned a punch. Guo Jing didn't dare to do it again, dodged sideways, but he didn't know that the opponent's arm suddenly changed into a soft whip, and after hitting it, he could turn arbitrarily in the air, and he obviously saw his fist hit the left, and suddenly turned to the right, and with a bang, he punched Guo Jing in the shoulder.
Guo Jing couldn't guard against it, and ate three punches in succession, all three of which were very heavy, and he was flustered and didn't know how to deal with it. ”
From the above description, it can be seen that the power of the Spirit Snake Fist lies in its imitation of the smart characteristics of the poisonous snake, which can achieve a mid-turn and two arms like noodles, bending in unexpected places of the opponent to attack, a bit like the current variable ballistic missile, which is indeed difficult to prevent, and the name of the spirit snake is well deserved.
But in terms of attack effect, Guo Jing was only a second-rate master at that time, and he had not yet learned the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, and the Nine Yin True Scripture had not yet been fully comprehended, so he actually took three punches in a row, why didn't he even drop anything? This is a bit nonsense.
According to the positioning in the original work, the Spirit Snake Fist is a stunt developed by Ouyang Feng after the failure of the first Huashan Sword Debate, and his purpose is to use this set of martial arts to surprise the opponent in the second Huashan Sword Debate. But with such power, even if it hits the opponent, I'm afraid it won't be of much use, at most it will surprise the opponent.
We can compare Ouyang Feng's other famous stunt, the Toad Gong, but no one in the whole book dares to take the toad Gong of the old poison head-on, including the five uniques. That's okay? Straight to hit you with, no joke.
If you want to say that Ouyang Ke's skills are shallow, and the Spirit Snake Fist is not powerful, then there is some truth. After all, Ouyang Ke is hilarious every day, and he is also easy to be soft. But compared to the toad skill in the primary stage, the Spirit Snake Fist is still not powerful enough. In "The Condor Heroes", Yang Guo was taught toad skills by Ouyang Feng, also in the initial stage, but he almost slapped Xiao Wu to death. That was still Yang Guo's use without any foundation. It can be seen that the power of the Spirit Snake Fist is indeed much worse than that of the Toad Gong.
In addition, after Ouyang Ke beat Guo Jing with the Spirit Snake Fist, Hong Qigong, who was next to him, immediately saw the doorway of this set of boxing techniques. It can also show that the editing of Spirit Snake Fist is indeed ingenious, but it is not profound. Otherwise, with the depth of Hong Qigong's skill, he saw the toad skill more than once, and he still couldn't crack it. But when the Spirit Snake Fist saw it once, it had a way to crack it. This is also the reason why Ouyang Feng didn't let his nephew show it easily.
There is also the fact that although Ouyang Ke learned the Spirit Snake Fist, he did not learn the Toad Skill. It shouldn't be that Ouyang Feng doesn't teach, it's very likely that Ouyang Ke doesn't have the skills to practice advanced things at all.
Therefore, I don't think the Spirit Snake Fist is a first-class martial art, but this does not affect the love of the heroes for the Spirit Snake Fist.
The Spirit Snake Fist is cleverly conceived and varied, and it used to be one of the martial arts I wanted to practice the most. The thought of being able to bend your arms in the air at will makes me feel amazing.
Welcome all heroes to exchange experiences. [Zuoyi]
