Chapter Six: Great Master
Chang Sihao woke up in the morning and was washing his face in the courtyard. Suddenly someone patted him from behind. When he looked back, he was startled. He saw Xiaozhuizi standing there with a smile and a dozen buns on his head, like a Buddha in the West.
, couldn't help but laugh, and asked: "What are you doing?"
Xiaozhuizi turned his head to one side, laughed out loud, and asked: "Does it look good?" Chang Sihao was stunned: "What does it look like?" Xiaozhuizi pouted, pointed at the bun on his head and said: "
Is this good-looking?" Chang Sihao only thought it was interesting and had a weird smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. Xiaozhuizi's expression changed, he snorted, and said angrily: "I'm ignoring you!" He turned and ran away.
Chang Sihao inexplicably heard the sound of sex in the thatched hut, and hurried in. He rushed to Chen Shengyi's bedside, and saw his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes closed tightly, and his head covered with sweat. The situation seemed not good, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.
call.
Old Man Baofu heard the sound and came over. He put his two fingers on Chen Sheng's vein gate, closed his eyes for a moment, and said, "It's okay. There is poison on Yuan Liangyu's black thorn. This is a sign that the toxins have accumulated and are about to be discharged. You
Hurry outside and get the broken pot."
Chang Sihao carried the earthen basin to the bed as instructed, and heard Chen Shengyi's stomach growling. After a while, he felt vomiting. Old man Baofu helped him up, and Chen Shengyi opened his mouth and vomited out.
He took a sip of yellow and black bitter water, and then he couldn't stop it anymore. He vomited half of the basin, and suddenly the room was full of stench. When he stopped vomiting, his breath became calm, his eyes opened slightly, and then closed again. Chang Sihao
After the dirt was poured out, old man Baofu lit a stick of incense indoors, walked out of the room, and said without waiting for Chang Sihao to ask: "It's okay, he's asleep." Chang Sihao felt at ease after a while. Although he didn't know that Yuan Liangyu had put it in
What kind of bug is in his mouth, but he always knows that he is uneasy and well-intentioned. Chen Shengyi is really a great kindness to save him.
Old Man Baofu said: "After taking this medicine for a while, he will wake up and his consciousness will be clear. I will explain the martial arts to you. Don't mention it to him."
Chang Sihao didn't know why he was doing this, and he looked hesitant, but he didn't ask after all. The old man said: "I've been quiet by the Yellow River for a long time. I don't want to get involved in the troubled world anymore. Do you understand?"
Chang Sihao nodded and then smiled.
Old Man Baofu looked into Chang Sihao's eyes, and after a while, he chuckled and said, "You kid, you are so smart, so let me teach you a set of techniques to perform the exercises." Chang Sihao was overjoyed.
The old man led him to the side of the small courtyard, kicked away the firewood on the ground, and said, "Do you still remember the posture I stood in front of the raft when I floated down from the mouth of the pot the day before yesterday?" Chang Sihao said, "Remember."
As he spoke, he bent his legs slightly and tried to stand upright. The old man nodded slightly: "I've learned a lot about how to look, but my body is too stiff." He stretched out his hand to help Chang Sihao correct his posture, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted:
"loose!"
Chang Sihao couldn't help but relax. Old man Baofu said: "Okay, just keep this posture, don't put any thought into it." After saying that, he sat aside, took out the pipe pot, lit it with a flint, and started smoking.
Come.
Chang Sihao said: "There is still some tightness in my body." The old man blew out a smoke ring: "Don't worry." After a while, Chang Sihao swayed slightly, lowering his posture a little.
Said: "Wrong!" Chang Sihao perked up and returned to his original state, saying: "What's wrong? Just now I felt that my body was looser." Old man Baofu said: "Those who are loose when their muscles are loose and their muscles are tight are really loose.
If you just relaxed your muscles, then you are slacking off, so what else are you practicing for?"
Chang Sihao understood and said nothing.
After smoking a bag of cigarettes, the old man Baofu said: "It's almost done, you give it a try with a punch. Remember, when punching, you must maintain the relaxed state of your muscles."
Chang Sihao clenched his fist in a gesture, but old man Baofu immediately stopped him: "The fist is wrongly held."
The old man clenched his fist, then raised his thumb and pushed it back as hard as he could. At this time, two tendons stood up on the back of the finger, and the place where the tendons connected to the wrist was a pit shape. He told him that this was the boxing star, and there were also holes on the outside of the wrist bone.
A bone protrusion is called the Little Sky Star. One of these two stars is convex and the other is concave. When punching, the Boxing Star should be visible and the Little Sky Star should be hidden. This is the harmony of yin and yang and the integration of Hunyuan in boxing.
Chang Sihao asked: "What is the use of Hunyuan Yiyi?" The old man smiled: "It's just a cliché to fool the layman. The main purpose of showing the boxing star is to stretch the big muscles and make the force transmission smooth to avoid getting hurt." Chang Sihao
He picked up his thumb to confirm the position of the boxing star, clenched his fist again, and found that the boxing star on his wrist was missing, but the small star was still protruding. He shook his fist twice and found that only the shape of holding the knife and stabbing in front met the requirements. Old Man Baofu nodded.
Head: "That's right."
Chang Sihao recalled the key points of twisting his waist and hips to exert force. He stabilized his body and punched out. He felt something like a stream of water rising from his feet, passing through his crotch and upper waist, to his shoulders and arms, and penetrating from the surface of his fist.
When he came out, the skin on the back of his hand was swollen and congested with blood, and his fists involuntarily became much tighter. The cloth on his body was shaken, bulging and puffing up with dust and smoke.
Old Man Baofu shook his head: "Your punches have no return. It can hit ordinary people, but if you meet a master, it is useless. Because there is no return, in the eyes of an expert, it is no different from being pushed.
If someone uses internal force to counter the shock, your wrist will be broken immediately. Therefore, after exerting force, you must add a sudden force at the end. In this way, the force will be cold, hard, and penetrating, and the power can be retained in the enemy's body.
But I will not be harmed by the counterattack." He pointed to a poplar tree next to him and said, "Just give it a slap."
Chang Sihao thought about it, and thought that this sudden attack was similar to the method of spearing a fish. He closed his eyes and thought about it, focused on the tree, and struck out with one palm!
There was just a "click" sound, and the poplar tree as thick as a calf broke unexpectedly! Chang Sihao opened his eyes and looked at his palm. He saw that the blood on it was ruddy and there was no pain. He felt incredible.
But old man Baofu shook his head and said: "That's wrong, wrong! Your sudden burst of energy was used too late. The tree was broken before you tried to use it. Is it still effective?" He walked to another thick tree.
Next to the poplar tree, he said: "Watch it!" He twisted his foot and struck out with a palm, hitting the tree trunk as thick as a thigh. The sound was not loud, but the tree trunk trembled very slightly and hummed.
There was a loud noise, the crown of the tree swayed slightly, and suddenly the green leaves of the tree fluttered down and scattered all over the ground. When Chang Sihao looked up, he saw only bare branches pointing to the sky. There was not even a single leaf left in such a large crown.
Old Man Baofu said: "The tree you broke is still sprouting branches in the next spring. I beat this tree, but it withers over time and has no physiological function. Can you trust it?"
Chang Sihao asked curiously: "Why is this?"
The old man smiled: "I used my strength to keep my palm force inside the tree, so the tree body trembled, the veins inside were broken, the roots could no longer supply water and nutrients to the trunk and crown, and the leaves would no longer grow. How could it be immortal?
Reason?"
Chang Sihao realized: "I understand, your method is like ringing a bell."
The old man laughed loudly: "It's true that you have a very high understanding. Think about it, there are five internal organs in the human body, wrapped in a skin. If you hit it with a punch, it will only cause surface pain. No matter how strong the force is, the injury will only be slightly serious. If
If the energy penetrates into the body and causes the internal organs to tremble, it can cause serious internal injuries. Just like if I strike a bell, remove the hammer, leave the energy inside, and let the bell vibrate by itself, the two forces are combined into one, which is extremely powerful.
The big clock is a whole, so the sound is lost when it vibrates at high frequencies. If it is a human body, and the body is not a solid piece of iron, it is impossible not to be seriously injured. With one palm of a master's hand, a person can be beaten to the point where his internal organs are removed.
This is the reason why it can even cause the internal organs to be broken into pieces."
Chang Sihao said: "I just broke the tree and hit the person. Wasn't it also a serious injury?"
The old man smiled: "Yes, but that kind of fighting method can only defeat mediocre people. If you encounter a master who knows how to transform energy, he will have no power. If the energy is left alone, it will be impossible to transform. That's it."
Masters can only endure it." Chang Sihao thought for a while and asked: "What if you meet someone who can train his body to be like Zhong?"
The old man was startled, then understood what he meant, and said: "The kind of master whose whole body is as cast as a cast, and who has reached the realm of Wuji, can indeed dissolve the body energy, but hey, I'm afraid it's hard to find a few people in this world.
, when you encounter them, fists and feet are useless, so you can only use weapons."
Chang Sihao nodded and remembered it in his mind, adjusted his posture, tried it a few times, and when he screamed secretly, he picked a poplar tree that was almost as thick as the one just now, thought about it for a while, and struck out with a palm. Sure enough, the trunk of the tree trembled, and the crown of the tree was even bigger.
Just now, the old man Baofu was shaking very hard, but only dropped a dozen leaves. Compared with the old man's palm, it was so different that he couldn't help but frown.
Old Man Baofu said: "Don't worry, the force has been used correctly. A beginner who has practiced to this level is already considered a genius in the world. The force of your palm movement is still not enough, so the tremor caused is similar to shaking.
Although it is big, it is not powerful enough. If you practice carefully in the future, you will succeed." Chang Sihao was relieved.
Old Man Baofu looked at him with a smile, as if he wanted to teach him to get rid of his addiction, and said: "Once you understand Jin, your kung fu has already been applied to your body. Now the only thing missing is your body technique." Chang Sihao asked: "The body technique
I've heard you say it before, what's going on?" The old man smiled and said: "It's actually just a layer of window paper, but if no one sees through it, some people will never understand it for the rest of their lives. Just think about how you can rip out bones and dissect corpses.
To do this, imagine your body as a knife."
Chang Sihao's eyes lit up: "I understand!"
The old man smiled and said: "What a smart boy! The core of Shenfa lies in this. It can be summed up in just four words: with ease. But light and reason are not enough. Come on, follow me and follow my steps.
Let's go." He said and started walking in the courtyard. Chang Sihao followed behind and imitated his movements. He could see his feet moving forward and backward, left and right, freely and agilely, and he was taking care of Chang Sihao at the beginning.
Hao was slower, but seeing Chang Sihao gradually touching the doorway, he became faster and faster. The two of them were rising and falling erratically in the courtyard, sometimes like foxes, sometimes like flying birds, it was really beautiful. Old man Baofu increased his speed, Chang Sihao
Hao gradually reluctantly followed up, and soon the old man's figure was no longer visible. He could only feel a blurry white shadow drifting like fog, but he really couldn't keep up.
Old Man Baofu felt it, he laughed and steadied his body, watched him practice from the side, and gave him guidance: "You are doing the right thing, don't look so nervous, open your eyebrows, and feel them being blown away by the wind, like floating clouds, and your scalp
As soon as I move, my eyes will become round, and my back will feel cold, and I will wake up. Okay... okay... that's it, let's take a rest."
Chang Sihao stopped, his energy and blood had risen, and his face was red. The old man said: "My steps are divided into three levels. One is called Rain, the other is Cloud Hidden, and the other is Heaven's Secret. I have only done the second step.
It's rare for you to be able to keep up with me on the upper level. You already understand the footwork. The only difference is your kung fu. You can just practice slowly in the future. There's no need to rush. You can try jumping up now."
Chang Sihao bent down and jumped up, and with a whoosh, he flew up more than ten feet from the ground. He landed on his feet and said in shock: "How is this possible!"
Old Man Baofu smiled: "This is internal power. To put it bluntly, it is just a method of mobilizing all the tissues in the body to do one thing in an instant. However, the effect of this mobilization is so magical that it is surprising. People with internal power
Everyone has it, they just don’t know how to use it. The Dao is so simple and easy that the window paper can be broken with just a poke. Martial arts is just a matter of one sentence, look at me."
He raised his leg forward and showed it to Chang Sihao: "When a normal person takes a step forward, he not only uses forward force, but also force in other directions. This is to maintain direction and balance. Our
The steps are made through the adjustment of the hips and the support of the joints, so that the muscles and bones of the whole body can exert force in one direction. Use the muscles and muscles in the opposite direction if they are needed, and let them relax if they are not needed, so as not to hinder the speed.
Naturally, it is extremely fast. You are a child with good understanding. You can do whatever you see on your body. After walking for a while, you have adapted to it, so you use the same force when jumping upwards. Naturally, you can jump higher than what you could before.
The distance is much higher."
Chang Sihao had never thought about this before. He slowly raised his legs and realized carefully that it was true as he said. In fact, not only when he stepped, but when he stood, several muscles in the front and back of his legs were stretched, and he exerted force in many ways.
, to maintain balance.
Old Man Baofu said: "A cat doesn't have four ounces of meat on its legs, but it can run a long distance. The principle is the same. In the future, if you practice for a long time and your body is similar to that of a cat, you will still feel a stream of water."
Momentum energy that can be driven at will, when you try hard or think about it, it will come, no matter when and if it is not felt in the body, it is what is commonly known as internal force or true force in the martial arts world. This is also what inner energy, true energy and the like are said to be.
Thing, in fact, there is no difference between true and false, internal and external, just different names. It is as invisible and real as the wind, and it is difficult to explain clearly, so it is often controversial. Everyone who has been there knows it, and those who don’t understand
Just a random guess. However, its effectiveness is real. If you know how to use it, your speed will reach a higher level."
Chang Sihao was overjoyed and didn't even feel tired. He did two more exercises and was extremely excited. Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "When I was a child, I heard a book saying that people have two meridians of Ren and Du. Once they are connected, they can be reborn and have unparalleled martial arts. Is that so?
Not true?"
Old Man Baofu laughed and said: "The two meridians of Ren and Du are naturally connected. If they are not connected, people will die. It's just that ordinary people's true energy is weak and cannot feel the movement of the meridians. Generally, people who sit for a long time to nourish their Qi have sensitive bodies and gradually feel the two meridians.
There is Qi current flowing in the meridians, and people think that Qi meridians can be mastered by themselves, which leaves a lot of messy methods. People have too many meridians. These two meridians are among the eight extraordinary meridians. In addition, there are also
There are six meridians: Chong mei, Dai mei, Yin wei mei, Yang wei mei, Yin Qiao mei, and Yang Qi mei. The human body also has twelve regular meridians. After you feel all these meridians, you can predict if there is any slight irregularity.
When you wake up first, you can use meditation, massage, acupuncture and other methods to smoothen the qi and blood, prevent diseases before they occur, and the human body will naturally be healthy. The so-called martial arts practitioners are immune to all diseases, it is nothing more than this."
Listening to his words, Chang Sihao felt that there was so much mystery in life and suddenly felt at a loss.
At this time, old man Baofu looked at the sky, and his expression suddenly turned desolate: "Hey, martial arts is like a ladder to the sky. No matter how far you climb, there is always an unknown place ahead. Zhuangzi once said: My life also has a limit, and I have no knowledge.
There is no limit, and there is no limit. It’s gone! The righteous path ends here in desolation. Haha, what’s the point of learning martial arts? In the end, it’s just a mystery. You won’t get the ultimate answer, and you won’t know the path.
No matter where you go, how far you can go. Zhuangzi yearned for freedom, but in fact he had a lot of helplessness in his heart. Saints are all like this, let alone us common people. It is better to think less and just live the sun and the moon in an ordinary way, haha
