14. Practice boxing
Of course, Jiang Shuiyuan didn't know that he had become the target that Liu Chenyu vowed to trample on, and he still got up early, exercised, watched boxing, ate, and previewed...... Although he does not have as clear goals as Liu Chenyu, he is not inferior to Liu Chenyu in terms of seriousness. On the contrary, I don't know if it is due to the better mental relaxation, or because of the help of the bracelet given by Shuibei Niangniang, in just half a month, he has read more than half of the textbooks in the first semester of high school.
On this day, Jiang Shuiyuan got up in the morning and ran to the Bochishan Park in one breath according to the custom, and then paced slowly around the lotus pond, by the way, he did some movements to stretch his arms and expand his chest to stretch his muscles, and then came to the bamboo forest to watch the old man box. According to the observation of the water source of the river these days, the old man's boxing can be regarded as rain or shine, and he will appear at a fixed place at a fixed time every day, and then take care of himself after punching.
The two of them fight and watch, and they will meet every day, but they have not spoken a word for more than 20 days, which is quite the taste of "gentlemen's friendship, indifferent and speechless" in ancient times. Today, the old man did not rush to leave after punching, but suddenly asked, "Little friend, can you understand?"
Jiang Shuiyuan shook his head.
"Then do you want to learn?" asked the old man again.
"Yes!" Jiang Shuiyuan replied very simply, as long as it was a health regimen that could prolong his life, he wanted to learn.
"Then how much have you learned after watching it for so many days?" the old man continued.
"A little, right?" replied Jiang Shuiyuan, uncertainly. In fact, with his current memory, he can basically familiarize himself with it after reading it once or twice, not to mention watching it one or twenty times in a row for so many days? Now he thinks about the process of the old man's boxing several times in his head every night before going to bed, but he has never tried to fight by himself, and he doesn't know how much he has learned. It's like studying a high school textbook, without passing an exam, no one can pat their chests and say that they have become a bamboo in their chests.
"Then you can call me. The old man commanded.
Jiang Shuiyuan hesitated for a moment before practicing according to the movements of the old man in his mind, although it can be seen that it is that set of punches, but there is no longer any beauty, because not only the fast and slow rhythm is wrong, but also many movements are completely deformed, such as playing Tai Chi when the head is straight, the eyes are naturally level, the shoulders are flat and loose, can not be raised, and can not be stretched, these are obviously not the first time to boxing Jiang Shuiyuan can do. Therefore, the whole set of boxing methods looks immature and awkward under his interpretation.
Watching Jiang Shuiyuan beat the whole set of punches from beginning to end, the old man was shocked: "Little friend, could it be that you have learned this set of punches before?"
"No, it's just that you have been fighting for more than half a month, barely learning a little fur, and please give me a lot of advice on the rough places!" Jiang Shuiyuan put his position very low.
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, the children's understanding is very good! I can look at the old frame of Chen's Taijiquan all the way to learn all the 74 forms, and it is the first time I have encountered it in my nearly 80 years of life experience in Chen Mingyi! By the way, children, what is your name?
Jiang Shuiyuan only then knew that the old man's name was Chen Mingyi, and the set of boxing he played was called Chen's Taijiquan Lao Jia Yi 74 Style, and immediately replied: "Grandpa Chen, my name is Jiang Shuiyuan, I am thirteen years old this year, and I should be in the first year of high school in Huai'an Fu Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University after the summer vacation." ”
"Can you go to high school at the age of thirteen? Or is it Huai'an Fuzhong? It seems that the children are really smart!" Chen Mingyi exclaimed, and then changed the conversation: "However, learning boxing is to be smart people to make stupid kung fu, especially Tai Chi, you must practice three times in winter and summer, and you must not leave your hands and mouths, and you can't be opportunistic at all." In ancient times, people said: 'Tai Chi does not go out for ten years, and Xingyi kills people in one year.' It is said that to practice Tai Chi, you must work hard, play deeply, ponder carefully, and practice for a long time to achieve practical results. Jiang Shuiyuan children, I don't know what your purpose is to learn boxing?"
Jiang Shuiyuan replied without hesitation: "Strengthen your body, maintain your health and prolong your life!"
Chen Mingyi nodded with satisfaction: "That's a good point! There is a cloud in the Analects: 'When there is little, the blood is undecided, and the precept is in the color; Nowadays, many young people have improper intentions in learning boxing, forgetting all the teachings of the master, and only thinking that after learning to box, they can show off everywhere, fight fiercely, and bully the weak, and lose the martial virtues that martial artists should have, and eventually they will inevitably fall behind. Of course, if the purpose is to strengthen the body, maintain health and prolong life, you only need to practice Tai Chi for general physical activities or healing and health care, and there is no need to practice basic and auxiliary skills. As long as you practice the routines every day after learning the routine, and persevere, you can naturally achieve your goal!"
"Do you need basic skills and auxiliary skills to learn Tai Chi?" There are many old men and old ladies in the courtyard downstairs practicing Tai Chi, and Jiang Shuiyuan has never heard of basic skills and auxiliary skills, so it is inevitable that he is a little curious.
"Of course!" Chen Mingyi replied indifferently, "The basic skills include standing on the pile, shaking the pole, shaking the iron gun, and practicing the strength alone, etc., and the auxiliary skills include the soft waist and leg method, the falling and rolling method, the vertical leaping method, etc., if it is a competitive pusher or loose hand, it is natural to practice at the same time." Ordinary boxing practitioners don't have to bother, at most they practice standing piles, ensuring that the pile steps are stable, breathing well, and enhancing their strength and endurance, otherwise they don't practice boxing, and they will be empty in the old age. ”
"Oh, I see!" Jiang Shuiyuan knew that there was so much knowledge in boxing.
Chen Mingyi looked up at the sun, and then said: "Today I will teach you to stand on the pile, including the big horse riding step, the lunge step, the Ding eight steps and the T-shaped step, how to practice each of them, I will show you one by one later, I hope you can keep in mind that you will practice for 10 to 20 minutes before and after each practice." I'll correct your movements and rhythm one by one from tomorrow, understand?"
"Yes!" replied Jiang Shuiyuan respectfully.
From that day on, Jiang Shuiyuan began to officially follow Chen Mingyi to practice Chen's Taijiquan all the way, following the instructions of Old Man Chen, Jiang Shuiyuan didn't even tell his parents about this matter. Relying on his extraordinary memory, Jiang Shuiyuan's progress in boxing is a rapid progress, and even Chen Mingyi is amazed by it. However, the priority of the boxing technique and the posture of the Zhongzheng Void Spirit are frozen for three feet, and they must be honed for a long time before they can become a natural subconscious move.
Shortly after starting to practice, the 30-day interval required by the bracelet was finally met, and Jiang Shuiyuan carefully pressed the barely visible button on the bracelet again, nervously awaiting the latest verdict like a prisoner applying for an appeal. Or five minutes, and then two lines of words appear on the watch screen:
Life expectancy remaining
3390 days
30 and 31 days ago, the result was still "3410 days of life expectancy", but now a month later, life expectancy has decreased by only 20 days. From these two simple figures, the water source of the river can roughly draw the following conclusions: First, the measuring instrument should be based on 10 days as the minimum prediction unit, and it is impossible to be specific to the number of days in the single digits; second, the self-study and exercise and regular work and rest should have achieved certain results, at least to increase the life expectancy by more than half, that is, the previous life expectancy was less than 10 years, but now it is estimated that it can live 14 or 5 years.
But is living for 14 or 5 years his ultimate goal? Obviously, Jiang Shuiyuan will not be satisfied with such an outcome.
But having said that, since I was able to increase my life expectancy by more than half through the efforts of the previous stage, I will definitely be able to make further progress by continuing to maintain good habits and getting rid of bad habits that affect my health! What are my bad habits and the good habits I have developed in the past month? Jiang Shuiyuan picked up a pen and began to make a list on a piece of paper.
Bad habits: overeating, mood swings, and insufficient learning depth......
Good habits: work and rest on time, exercise in the morning and evening, eat regularly, study hard, practice boxing......
With a detailed rectification ledger and specific goals, Jiangshuiyuan is more energetic. While it may take longer to compare whether improvements will have a significant impact, it is clear that Jiang feels that if he works in the right direction, he will definitely reap positive returns. So in the following days, whether it was getting up early to practice boxing or reading in the morning and afternoon, Jiang Shuiyuan put more energy into it, striving to be the best and most perfect.
When focusing on something, time always flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the opening of Huai'an Fu Middle School affiliated to Jingshi University.
Specifically, the fall start time of the first year of high school in Huai'an Province will be half a month earlier than the normal start of other grades on September 1, because the freshmen must undergo a half-month of strict military training, which is an iron rule formulated by Sun Yuanqi, the founding father of the country, shortly after the founding of Jingshi University, which has been handed down to this day. At that time, Mr. Sun Yuanqi relied on his student army to take Sichuan and Shaanxi in the west, Hunan and Guangdong in the south, Zhili in the north, and the Japanese in the east, thus creating immortal achievements.
Perhaps the military training of other schools will be a mere formality, but Jingshi University and its affiliated schools will definitely not, because this is the best way for them to express their high respect for Mr. Sun Yuanqi! Therefore, during the half month of military training, all freshmen and women, regardless of gender, must live in the barracks, go out for morning exercises, tidy up housekeeping, eat in the cafeteria, pull out military postures, walk in queues, and kick in the right steps...... Live exactly the same life as a military man. This also means that Jiang Shuiyuan must say goodbye to Old Man Chen for half a month.
However, before Jiang Shuiyuan could speak after the fight, Chen Mingyi asked with a smile: "Shuiyuan, are you going to start school today?
"Yes, but I will continue to come here for morning training after the military training!" replied Jiang Shuiyuan.
Chen Mingyi said: "Morning exercise is a good habit, if you can persist or try to persevere, the current young people just can't sleep at night, can't get up in the morning, and make all the days as languishing as smoking ** cigarettes, how can the physique be good? But at that time, it is estimated that I am no longer boxing here, I hope you can continue to practice!"
"Why?" Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly asked.
Chen Mingyi said: "I was originally invited by others to come to your Huai'an Mansion to teach people to fight boxing during the summer vacation, seeing that the summer vacation is coming to an end, and my task is almost completed, I naturally want to prepare to go home! But don't worry, as long as you and I are fated, I believe that we will definitely meet again in the future! On the occasion of parting, I, the old man, still want to nag a few words, I hope you can write it down carefully!"
"Grandpa Chen, please speak!"
Chen Mingyi said slowly: "Because it is inevitable to get bruised when practicing martial arts, people who practice martial arts generally know a little bit of medical skills. Judging from Chen's superficial medical cultivation alone, although your body is now full of qi, your complexion is bright and moist, and your pulse is not floating, sinking, fast or slow, in fact, the innate vitality in your body has suffered a big loss, and I don't know if it is your congenital deficiency or the day after tomorrow that you have suffered a big disaster, so you must take care of your body carefully, and you must not act recklessly like your peers!"
Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but be surprised: "Grandpa Chen is very right, but how to maintain your body in order to prolong your life?"
Chen Mingyi said: "I mentioned to you before the three precepts of the gentleman in the Analects, the first of which is 'When you are young, the blood is undecided, and the precepts are in color'. Young people know ** and Mu Shaoai is human nature, especially like you are handsome, you will definitely be entangled by a lot of wild bees and butterflies, and you will suffer a lot**. However, your innate vitality is already far inferior to ordinary people, and if you continue to fight and do not pay attention to the maintenance of kidney qi, resulting in the loss of essence, your body will definitely collapse quickly. As for the method of longevity and longevity, there have been people who have been diligently pursuing it throughout the ages, and there is still no one best method. I think there is a sentence in "The Mean" that hits the point, that is, 'great virtue will have its longevity', so on the occasion of parting, I will send you eight words: red face and troubled water, great virtue will live. ”
