In "Tianlong Babu", there is a particularly puzzling character, this person is Xiao Feng's father Xiao Yuanshan. Xiao Yuanshan was originally a descendant of the Liao state, and was the chief instructor of the Shan Dynasty, he followed a Han man to learn a good kung fu in his youth, and during his tenure as an official, Xiao Yuanshan had been committed to the truce and defense of the song and Liao countries, and had repeatedly spoken to Empress Xiao and The Liao Emperor to persuade him not to start a war with the Great Song, and successfully dissolved many Song and Liao wars.
Unexpectedly, on the way to send his wife home to visit his relatives, he was ambushed by the Central Plains Martial Artists, and his family was destroyed overnight, and this change made Xiao Yuanshan's entire outlook on life and values collapse, and he began to become "more and more obedient", and then he ran to the Shaolin Temple alone to live in seclusion, practicing Shaolin stunts, going out day and night every day, and not saying a word to others for a year.
Supposedly, after practicing his stunts at the Shaolin Temple for thirty years, Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts should have made great progress, but when he reappeared thirty years later, it seemed that the feeling was not as good as thirty years ago.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the level of the Central Plains martial artists of the Yanmen Pass War</h1>
Thirty years ago, Xiao Yuanshan was almost completely crushed by Xuan Ci, Wang Jiantong and other Central Plains martial artists, and the battle at Yanmen Pass was not at all like an ambush of Xiao Yuanshan by the Central Plains Martial Artists, it was simply a massacre of Xiao Yuanshan against the Central Plains Martial Artists, according to Zhao Qiansun's recollection, at that time, Xiao Yuanshan was only a few ups and downs, and eleven people died under his hands, and the scene was extremely bloody: "At that time, the sunset was like blood, and the wind outside Yanmen Pass was in the midst of the roar, Mixed with a cry of a hero and a good man dying, his head on all fours and bloody blades flew wildly in the air. ”
Even masters like Xuan Ci and Wang Jiantong had no power to fight back under Xiao Yuanshan's hands, and it only took two rounds for Xiao Yuanshan to hit the acupuncture point with his toes, and Zhao Qiansun almost applauded when he saw such exquisite martial arts. If it weren't for Xiao Yuanshan's sudden discouragement, he could have easily wiped out all these twenty-one people. It was this great war that made many people think that Xiao Yuanshan, thirty years ago, was simply invincible in the world in that era.
So is that right? We can first analyze the gold content of this battle, that is, the strength of these twenty-one Central Plains martial artists in the end, first of all, there were four survivors of the great war that year, namely Xuan Ci, Wang Jiantong, Zhiguang and Zhao Qiansun, which Zhao Qiansun's strength had already been displayed when juxian Zhuang, basically it was the level of Xiao Feng's move, and it was thought that the level would not be higher than this thirty years ago, and through the dialogue in the apricot forest, it can be seen that Zhiguang is worse than Zhao Qiansun. Basically, it was not worth mentioning in front of Xiao Feng.
The level of Xuan Ci and Wang Jiantong should be higher than that of the two of them, but it should not be much higher, because Thirty years ago Xuan Ci should have been around thirty years old, and Shaolin martial arts have a characteristic, that is, they usually have to be old to understand the upper level of kung fu. It is also clearly written in the book that Xuan Ci was able to achieve great success in martial arts after he was forty years old: "Lao Gong saw the hunter's joy at the age of forty, learned the Great Vajrayogini, and the internal force took a fierce path, and since then he has been practicing Prajnaparamita and has been suffocating." In addition, the Shaolin monks in the Shaolin Temple who are in their twenties and the same generation as The Virtual Bamboo, as well as the monks of the "Hui" generation in their thirties, have not had any masters, which also proves that Xuan Ci, who was not yet forty years old at that time, was actually not much better at martial arts.
In addition, from Zhiguang's words, it can be known that the tens of millions of Central Plains martial artists at Yanmen Pass were not only Xuan Ci and their twenty-one people, they were actually just one of many squads, Zhiguang's original words were: "At that time, everyone was divided into several groups and rushed to Yanmen Pass. "Imagine that the news you got at the beginning was that the Liao people were going to come to the Shaolin Temple to grab the scriptures, then the Shaolin Temple must also be mainly guarding the family, and it is impossible to send out the main force in one brain, in case you have gone astray and have not met the Liao people? Didn't you let your opponent take advantage of the loophole? Therefore, the strength of Xuan Ci's twenty-one people was not necessarily higher than that of the later Juxian Zhuang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Xiao Yuanshan thirty years later, how powerful</h1>
Since the Battle of Yanmen Pass thirty years ago did not have the means to prove Xiao Yuanshan's true strength, it is naturally not so accurate to say that Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts have regressed thirty years later. Of course, there are still many people who think that Murong Bo can be used as a reference to see Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts changes, and during the Shaolin Temple, Murong Bo has three records of fighting with Xiao Yuanshan.
The first time the two slapped each other, Murong Bo was forced to take a step back, and felt that the other party was "fierce and strong inside", and then showed weakness and did not fight again. The second time the two fought for more than a hundred moves, Murong Bo stopped first, feeling that he was not an opponent. The third time, both of them made more than three hundred moves, but Murong Bo felt invincible and gave up.
Although the battle process between the two of them became longer and longer, in the end, they all ended with Xiao Yuanshan winning, in fact, usually under the premise that both of them were studying hard, this kind of strength was getting closer and closer, and we generally think that Murong Bo had improved, rather than Xiao Yuanshan's regression.
And Murong Bo's martial arts were already very powerful before he lurked in the Shaolin Temple, he had beaten the Yellow Brow Monk out of the psychological shadow when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, if it were not for the Yellow Brow Monk's heart length a little, that finger would directly kill the Yellow Brow.
Therefore, in summary, Xiao Yuanshan's martial arts were not getting weaker and weaker, he was only stimulated in the Yanmen Pass Battle, and his mental state has been bad after that, coupled with the long-term lack of contact with people, all abilities have declined, the progress of martial arts is not so fast, and slowly Murong Bola is closer to him. In fact, in the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, hatsuma Zhi could resist his punch with both palms, which was the best proof.
