Chapter 11: The Gap Between Dream and Reality

"When you make this move, you have to cooperate with three steps. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Cheng also laughed and pointed to his feet. "Everyone wants to practice this move, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice it in a short time, but three steps are very useful in fighting. ”

"Is that the kind of step you used when you played against Kravien?" Yang Guang had already regained his senses, and he was very interested in Liu Cheng's step.

Liu Cheng said: "Yes, it is roughly divided into two types, positive three stepping and reverse three stepping on it. When people are standing still, they should also have the feeling of walking under their feet, that is, one foot is on the ground with the forefoot and the other foot is on the ground with the back foot. When turning, use the center of gravity foot on the ground as the reference, and the whole body rotates with it, as if you were hitting the steering wheel. ”

"When you turn, it's the first step, when you step out, it's the second step, and when you close the last step, it's the third step. So on the surface it looks like it's just one step moving. This kind of step application is very large, and when there are more people than you on the opposite side, there are more than one person, you can reasonably avoid your position. Liu Cheng said, and with a natural turn, he actually turned from Yang Guang's right to the left, still standing side by side with him.

"I ...... I'm dizzy. Yang Guang originally wanted to talk about the day, but he thought it was not good to be foul and foul, and finally said that he was dizzy.

"Drive the steps with the center of gravity of the body......" Yang Guang and the others learned from Liu Cheng's appearance, as if they encountered wind and waves when they were on a boat, and everyone was shaking one after the other. Liu Cheng also patiently taught everyone, "The center of gravity of the two feet moves with the shaking of the body, and the direction of the front and back soles should be changed in turn." When the center of gravity foot is focused on the forefoot, it is a positive three step, and when the center of gravity foot is on the back of the foot, it is a reverse three steps. ”

"When you turn, it's about 45 degrees! Now let's go left with me, go ......."

"Ouch......" Yang Guang stretched out his foot, as if he had forgotten how to walk, and fell to the ground. Others also have a bitter face, just a simple step, but it sounds simple, but it is really difficult to do. Liu Cheng explained with a smile: "Your center of gravity is not in the right position. Since the three steps are divided into positive and negative, there are four directions, front and back, left and right, and the positive three steps can also go backwards, and the reverse three steps can also move forward. ”

"So in a nutshell, there are sixteen variations......

"I ...... I have to talk about my day this time!" Yang Guang sat on the ground and was too lazy to get up. Learning ancient martial arts is really a test of patience, and it is not as good as fighting as soon as modern fighting is played, which is somewhat hopeful.

"If you are interested, you can practice, if you can't find the feeling, forget it. Lao Yin saw that many people had been dizzy by the three steps, and they all smiled helplessly. If you want to learn the big winding hammer, you have to shake the gun first, you have to practice the gun first, you have to set up a pile to practice walking, and you have to stand on a horse first to set up a pile. Such a simple move can really be tossed to death when learned.

Liu Cheng and Lao Yin usually walk, and they have already integrated their own steps, so they are used to walking.

Therefore, Lao Yin did not encourage everyone to practice, lest Handan learn to be a toddler and forget the original fighting steps. "Fortunately, I didn't learn Lao Yin's Baguazhang, I heard that the benchmark step of Baguazhang is sixty-four steps, so how many years do you have to learn. ”

"Liu Cheng, do you accept apprentices?" a student suddenly asked, his face very serious. Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "I want to find a master myself." I'm not a match for the kind of guy Kravien and want more guidance. Liu Cheng felt that although his boxing skills were diligent and pure, he always had a feeling that was not very transparent. He couldn't explain this feeling.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many powerful martial artists, and there were also many moving legends. However, in contemporary times, there has been a fault in ancient martial arts, and the myths of martial arts have been broken one by one, which makes Liu Cheng have a willingness to explore the truth. When he walked out of the training hall, Lao Yin suddenly stopped him: "Liu Cheng, do you really have the idea of continuing to improve your cultivation?" Liu Cheng nodded: "Yes, is Lao Yin willing to discuss with me?"

"My level is not necessarily much higher than yours. Moreover, the number of paths we learn is different, and it is not of great use to discuss. Lao Yin just smiled, unless he is a real expert, it is difficult to communicate any decent results with a gossip of one pole and one gossip. "But I used to know an old-timer near the Three Gorges, he is practicing Bajiquan, and his kung fu can be said to be superb. If you are interested, you can go and meet him. ”

"Really?" Liu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "When are we going?"

"Haha, I can't leave. I'll give you a call, though. Lao Yin patted him on the shoulder, "You are so young, and the times are better than when I was at that time, you must work hard." I'll copy his address to you......"

"Thank you!"

"By the way, Liu Cheng, Mr. Wu said that you would go to his office in the afternoon, I almost forgot. Your salary should be quite a lot this time!" Lao Yin seemed to remember something after copying the address to Liu Cheng. When Liu Cheng heard this, he was also a little excited, and nodded: "I know." Remembering that he came out to work and finally got his salary, Liu Cheng's heart couldn't help but get excited.

In the afternoon, Liu Cheng came back to the conference room of Lunyu's headquarters and asked Mr. Wu and Mr. Xie to receive their salaries and insurance money.

However, he obviously felt that Mr. Wu didn't feel as kind as he did when he met today, and he had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

"Xiao Liu, the appearance fee for the competition is not a matter for Lun Yu's company, but is decided by the entire organizing committee. Your match is actually over in the first game, so the appearance fee can only be calculated on the basis of one game, and the amount is 2,400 yuan. In addition, since you were slightly injured during the game, we also asked the insurance company to settle the claim, and you have already enjoyed the medical expenses of the minor concussion in the infirmary, so it will not be directly sent to your hands. ”

"......" Liu Cheng sat at the conference table, glanced at Mr. Wu and Mr. Xie, and saw them pushing over an envelope, and suddenly had a feeling of being played. Mr. Wu glanced at him and said, "You have a labor contract on you, if you are not satisfied with the judgment of the organizing committee, we can help you apply for economic arbitration together and talk to the organizing committee of Wulin Zhizun." ”

"Arbitration?" Liu Cheng is a righteous person, although he really wants to ask Wu Chaofan in person, but Wu Chaofan is not here now, so it is not good to say anything more. He didn't want to do anything to embarrass his friends. didn't look at the money in the envelope, just put it in his pocket, Liu Cheng stood up politely and stretched out his hand to Mr. Wu: "No need to apply for arbitration." Thank you!"

"Okay, I'm still busy, so I won't keep you longer. Mr. Wu didn't shake hands with him, but turned his head and stood up, "Xiao Liu, I don't know how you persuaded Chaofan to bring you over to fight." But Chaofan, this kid has been straight since he was a child, and he doesn't have any heart, if you think that if you get close to him, you can take the opportunity to climb up, I think it's better for you to die early in this heart. Don't associate with the transcendent in the future, go back and read your books!"

Mr. Wu said and walked out of the conference room. Liu Cheng slowly withdrew his hanging hand, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. Although I don't know what happened, Mr. Wu's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, not to mention, and he even mistakenly thinks that he is a poor boy with thick legs, what are his intentions for Wu Chaofan?" Well, I'll go back and study hard, and don't think about boxing. ”

In the afternoon, Liu Cheng, who said goodbye to Lao Yin, took the train back to the small city alone. Liu Cheng sat by the car window, unable to calm down for a long time.

Because in his fantasy, people who practice boxing have kung fu in their bodies and are destined to be extraordinary people. Usually like a dragon returning to the sea, but when he shows his skills at a critical moment, he should be respected, but in fact, the person who fights boxing is the ninth rate after all. Not only Liu Cheng, but also Tianjin Lao Yin, who has been reformed, Shanghai Xiao Zhang, who has broken his leg, and those Greek bald heads who are of a very average level, and their income from playing a game desperately is more than 2,000 yuan.

The boxing champion who has gained both fame and fortune is, after all, only one in ten million. An ordinary boxer really doesn't earn as much as a card girl.

"It's a kind of growth. I will practice boxing in the future, just to exercise my body, and I will never do this kind of hot face sticking cold stock thing. Liu Cheng leaned back on his seat, held his head with his hand, and took out the envelope from his pocket. I took it out and counted it, twenty-four, and I really didn't give one more, but it was gratifying that I didn't give one less. Liu Cheng smiled bitterly, fortunately, Wu Chaofan bought the train ticket in advance, otherwise he would have hung the cost of the return trip.

However, Liu Cheng took out an address from his pocket, and he was still relieved that he had gained something.

"Isn't the origin of Bajiquan supposed to be in Cangzhou, how can this senior be in the Three Gorges? Alas, no matter how much, in short, Lao Yin's vision will not be wrong, and Cangzhou people can also move to the Three Gorges to live. But I don't have time now, after I finish the college entrance examination, I'll visit this senior, maybe he still knows my master......" Thinking of his master, Liu Cheng felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

"If Master knew that I was such a mess, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to recognize me, right? Unfortunately, modern society has no future by boxing. It's best for me to be admitted to university this time and find a stable job in the future, so that I can live up to Master's teachings to me. ”

After the May Day holiday, life in small cities returned to peace. Before I knew it, it was the middle of May, and the students in the third year of high school also ushered in the sprint stage of preparing for the college entrance examination. Although the results of the preliminary examination are not ideal, they are not bad, at least the qualification to take the college entrance examination is obtained.

However, Liu Cheng insisted on practicing every day, and felt that he had made great progress, but he still did not practice to the point where he could break the hanging wine bottle.

Moreover, the branch of the Lunyu Club in the new city has also quietly closed down for rectification, and Liu Cheng occasionally feels melancholy when he rides by. Although he didn't have the idea of boxing again, the closure of the club made him a little unacceptable. As a friend, he still hopes to see Wu Chaofan and his members training here in full swing. Now all that remains is the dark glass door, and the inside is empty.
