Chapter 16 The First Journey The situation is like a dream

"Grandpa" Li Yunluo pouted, as if he had done something wrong, stood in the kitchen with his head down, and said to Li Shihao, who was stir-frying the pot by the stove.

"Oh, don't stand here, get in the way, go over there and pick up two heads of garlic, and then go and peel the potatoes. While flipping over the dishes in the pot, Li Shihao commanded without raising his head.

"But," Li Yunluo had to say something.

"But what, you learn from other people's Xiaoye, they are also ten years old, you look at other people's skills. Li Shihao picked up a chopstick and knocked on Li Yunluo's forehead, then turned around and shouted, "Xiao Ye, how is the fish cleaned up?"

"I have removed the entrails and scales and am washing. "There was a crisp and pleasant sound from the balcony.

"Look at people, they can clean up fish when they are only ten years old, and then look at you, you can't pick clean spines when you eat. Li Shihao shook his head with a disappointed face and sighed, "Hurry up and pick up garlic, don't look back, people can clean up the fish faster than you pick garlic." ”

"Oh. Li Yunluo nodded a little sluggishly, turned around and took two steps before turning back, "Grandpa, you're not angry, I lied to her about inviting you to dinner."

"Oh, why are you so annoying, you don't usually eat, don't ink, hurry up. Li Shihao said impatiently.

Until now, Li Yunluo still felt as if everything he had experienced was like a dream, and after driving himself away, he didn't know what the two old men were muttering to Ye Lingyan in the living room, and then they started to prepare dinner with such a joke.

Especially when he ran to the kitchen after finishing his homework for the day, he saw Ye Lingyan, who was usually unsmiling and expressionless, disemboweling the fish there, that skillful technique, just like a chef who cooks all year round, until now Li Yunluo still felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he couldn't believe all the scenes he had experienced.

A meal can really be described as a pleasure for the guests and hosts, of course, the only fly in the ointment is that there is still little expression on Ye Lingyan's delicate cheeks, but it seems that Wang Li Erlao doesn't mind, Li Yunluo is really curious, what they talked about in the living room at that time, how it seems that these two grandfathers treat Ye Lingyan as if they are more familiar than themselves.

When everything was cleaned up, a few people walked out of the house with a smile and a smile, and soon came to the park woods where Li Yunluo usually practiced, today's time dragged on later, and when the four of them came to the woods, the sky had already darkened, and there were not a few people in the park except for the moths under the street lamps.

"Come, boy, show them the results of your contact around the tree in the past few days. Old man Li Shihao looked a little happy, pointed to a big tree not far away and said.

"Hmm. Li Yunluo was still quite confident in the kung fu he was practicing every day, only to see him step forward, his figure was slightly shorter, his figure eight footwork under his feet was changed, and his figure slowly accelerated, and he had turned into a gray shadow by the tree in a short time.

"Uh-huh, alright, alright, stop. Seeing that Li Yunluo was already turning so fast by the tree, Wang Benchu nodded and shouted out to Li Yunluo's figure. And Ye Lingyan was just watching from the sidelines, and she didn't look like she was reacting.

"The kung fu that your grandfather taught you around the tree is actually the basic footwork of Baguazhang, the scientific name is 'Bagua Swim Walking', and some novels also call it 'Ghost Shadow Possession'. After a few people stood still in the forest, Old Man Wang slowly spoke and began to explain.

"This footwork is the early Qing Dynasty's 'Bagua Tai Chi Warlock' Zhang Hongjun invented a body method, and later the founder of Baguazhang Dong Haichuan will carry it forward, the initial basic requirement is to be able to perform footwork around two trees, and the speed must reach the level of 'tree chasing people' to be practiced, and it is also a hard work. Old man Wang continued to explain.

"Grandpa Wang, I'm familiar with this paragraph, and it's all said in the commentary, but I don't understand it until now, and this tree can't move, how can I chase people?" Li Yunluo asked puzzled.

"Hehe, the storyteller tells the story according to the teaching, of course, I can't tell you clearly, I'll explain it briefly. Speaking of this, Old Man Wang walked slowly to the two small trees that were relatively close, and explained while moving his footwork.

"You see, when I'm next to this tree, my eyes are fixed on the tree in front of me, and then I run to it, and I go around, and I look at this one again, and then I come over, so that you always look at the tree in front of you, and that's called 'man chasing the tree.'" Old Man Wang walked slowly, explaining as he walked.

"But you see, our footwork is to walk on the side of the tree, in fact, you look at the tree in front of you, and at the same time there is a tree behind you, but you can't see it, your grandfather should have taught you before, you can't stare at the tree you turned, otherwise your head will be dizzy. Old Man Wang patted the tree that had turned around beside him and said.

"You are looking at the tree in front of you because your speed is much slower than your eyes, but this speed is not useful at all when you actually do it, do you remember what it was like when you circled around that little rascal?" Wang Benchu said here, and suddenly asked.

"I feel" Li Yunluo thought about it for a moment, and then suddenly said with a somewhat abrupt look, "Oh, I understand, at that time, I turned behind him completely by footwork and speed, but my eyes didn't actually see any specific target, just a turn, and it had already appeared behind him." ”

"Well, that's actually it, if you want to really apply this style to actual combat, you have to be faster than your eyes. Speaking of this, I saw that the old man Wang's center of gravity shifted downward, his hands were yin and yang, and his footwork was linked, and the whole person seemed to turn into a phantom in an instant, and he saw a rapid rotation in these two trees.

"Do you see, as soon as the speed comes up, when you feel that there is a tree in front of you, the tree has run behind you, and when you use your pace freely, you will feel that the tree is following you, not that you are turning with the tree, which is called 'tree chasing people'. After all, he is approaching old age, and the old man Wang, who has taken the posture, seems to be a little panting.

And at this moment, Li Yunluo was already dumbfounded on the spot, although he knew that this Grandpa Wang was a good martial artist, but what he never expected was that this old man was almost eighty years old, and he could still have such a body, I am afraid that even the current sprinters may not be able to achieve such a speed.

"In fact, if you practice two of these methods, you can basically walk the rivers and lakes, but the development of martial arts in later generations has taken another path, and more attention is paid to self-cultivation than hurting people, so later generations have slowly developed this body method into 'three piles', 'four piles' and so on, but when I was young, I could only barely do three, as for the top, I have only heard of one or two. When Mr. Wang said this, he looked a little lonely.

"Don't be stunned, according to the footwork that your grandfather Wang just said, try to go around the two trees first. Li Shihao saw that Li Yunluo was still stunned, and couldn't help but hurriedly urge.

"Oh, it shouldn't be that hard. Li Yunluo agreed, walked to the tree, and began to turn.

Looking relaxed, this turn is to be killed, it turns out that these two piles are more than a star and a half more difficult than a single pile, around two trees, compared to a single tree to change the direction twice, to the same figure eight steps to walk, the feet will inevitably stumble.

Especially the speed was a little faster, his eyes stared at the tree in front of him, and he was still dizzy, and within a few minutes, Li Yunluo began to feel dizzy and his head swelled, and he didn't pay attention, he stumbled under his feet, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

"Poof~" A chuckle came into Li Yunluo's ears, and he looked up, still in a dizzy state, but saw that the one who was laughing was Ye Lingyan, who had been expressionless.

Seeing Ye Lingyan's smile, Li Yunluo was stunned, he didn't expect that Ye Lingyan, who seemed to be very cold to everything on weekdays, would smile so beautifully, as if the dark night was a little brighter.

But in an instant, Li Yunluo realized the reason why Ye Lingyan was laughing, and when he looked back at himself covered in mud, he couldn't help but have a fever on his face, and hurriedly stood up and lowered his head, without saying a word.

"If you're afraid of other people's jokes, practice quickly, no one will ever start, and it's even more embarrassing to give up halfway or practice if you don't understand!" Seeing Li Yunluo's performance like this, Li Shihao, the grandfather on the side, suddenly said loudly.

"Yes!" For his grandfather's teachings, Li Yunluo has always been obedient to his words, what his grandfather said is right, if you want to be noble in front of people, you have to suffer behind your back, and now you are afraid of being embarrassed, and it will be even more embarrassing if you don't become it in the future, thinking of this, Li Yunluo came to the tree again and began to practice seriously.

"Hmm~ Lao Li, your grandson is kind-hearted. Wang Benchu on the side saw Li Yunluo behaving like this, and couldn't help touching his chin and smiling and exclaiming.

"Alas, it's still not enough, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it's really too late. Li Shihao glanced at Ye Lingyan next to him, his face was not full of joy, but full of worry.

"The second elder doesn't need to be too anxious, after all, it hasn't happened yet, and besides, I'm still here here. Seeing Li Shihao's worried expression, Ye Lingyan on the side slowly spoke and said in a low voice.

"Grandpa, what did you say, can you tell me?" After returning home at night, Li Yunluo couldn't help it and asked.

"It's no big deal, hurry up and go to bed, I have to work out tomorrow morning." Li Shihao didn't want to explain at all, just commanded majestically.

"Oh, old man, how can I sleep now, you can give me a mouth. Li Yunluo protested with a bitter face.

"If you can't sleep, give me practice, when will there be so many problems?" Li Shihao waved his hand impatiently.

"When is there so much trouble?" Li Yunluo grinned and pointed to the guest bedroom with the door closed, and said in a low voice, "There are so many people in the family, I don't even know what happened, is this normal?"

"Xiaoye's family is not in the city, and it's a waste of money to rent a house outside, I think this girl is very good, so I left her to live with our family, and you two go to school together, what's the problem?" Li Shihao looked dazed at this time, and asked with a glare.

"What?" Li Yunluo looked at Li Shihao with an innocent face with wide eyes in disbelief, "My old man, I now doubt very much that you are an impostor?"

"Fart! I owe it, right?" Li Shihao heard this, and immediately blew his beard and lowered his voice and shouted.

"No, I said grandpa, I want to take a little girl home, I want to take it home, you want to see which girl I go with, then you have to serve the family rules, but this, this, this" Li Yunluo didn't know how to continue, "You know, this man and woman can't sit at the same table at the age of seven!"

"Hey, why are you little kid full of old feudal stubborn thoughts? I'm saying I didn't let you sleep in the same bed. Li Shihao retorted confidently.

"I" Li Yunluo still wanted to continue to defend himself.

"Okay, okay, I'm old, I'm not in the mood to stay up late with you children, if you really can't sleep, go to practice, don't bother me here, I'm going to sleep." Li Shihao couldn't help but say, and directly pushed Li Yunluo out of his bedroom, and then "slammed" and closed the door.

"Hey~" Li Yunluo spread his hands, and really had the feeling of a second monk, "What is this called? Everyone seems to know what's going on, and I'm still confused!"
