Chapter 11, the cave has to be a little mysterious
Tang Bai became interested in the Tang family's boxing method, he was more invested than anyone else, every time he practiced punching, he would think about how to exert force, how to use skill, how to breathe, how to combine the qi in the body with moves, the more he practiced, the more he felt that the Tang family's boxing was profound.
For example, when the right foot falls backwards in the boxing method of 'boxing seven stars', the left foot steps together, the body must rotate, inhale when the fist rises, gather in the internal organs, punch out three points, and when he drinks and exhales, he feels the qi in the body, like the water that collapses the embankment, surging out, gathering in the fist, like a flying arrow, no return, no urgency; After that, Tang Bai was completely immersed in boxing, and every day he repeated the same moves with his clan in the martial arts training field, swinging punches, kicking legs, and drinking, after the morning practice, Tang Bai would be left alone, experiencing the essence of boxing, combined with the qi in the body, and constantly practicing, so that the boxing method was more proficient and natural.
It was another morning, after everyone left, there was an old man on the grass next to the martial arts training ground, his beard was white, and he was slowly playing a set of boxing techniques.
This is a completely different boxing method from the Tang family's boxing method, slow and gentle, very simple, but with a natural reason.
This feeling is indescribable, as the Master said, "Those who know what is true, and those who are ignorant do not know why." He suddenly understood Tang Xingjun's words: "Martial arts are not complicated, what is complicated is how to make martial arts simpler." β
Tang Bai saw the old man on the side of the martial arts training field for the first time, and he thought of a legend of the Tang family, which was about an old man, and also said that he had reached a realm of martial arts.
Realm, the pinnacle of martial arts.
Tang Bai couldn't help but follow the punch, and immediately felt that although this kind of boxing seemed to be gentle, it was both rigid and soft, turning freely, sometimes corresponding to the virtual and real, sometimes wanting the right and the left, sometimes like a green dragon out of a hole, sometimes like a jade dragon ascending to heaven, unconsciously immersed in the boxing.
When he came to his senses, the martial arts training ground was empty, and the old man did not know when he had left; he was a little disappointed, and with his memory, he couldn't help but practice the boxing method again, and he had a new understanding of the boxing method, and practiced it again, and before he knew it, in the middle of the day, he forgot to go to the master to learn literature; he was in a hurry to leave, but he saw a white figure at the corner of the corridor, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Tang Bai didn't have much contact with Han Cai'er, but he had a natural familiarity with her, even if he only saw a back, he recognized it as Han Cai'er. This strange girl made Tang Bai have a natural vigilance and curiosity.
Why did Han Cai'er come to Tang Mansion secretly?
Tang Bai cautiously followed, but found that there was no one around the corner, Han Cai'er seemed to disappear out of thin air, only a faint medicinal fragrance emanated from the air, proving that the figure just now was Han Cai'er, this is Han Cai'er's unique body fragrance;
Tang Bai had an idea, shrugged his nose, like a way-finding greyhound, sniffed in the east, sniffed in the west, went all the way to the right, crossed the corridor to the right courtyard, entered the pool of the imperial garden, and the fragrance suddenly disappeared.
The pool is full of acres of land length and width, and the surrounding area is neatly surrounded by stones, and there are guardrails on the side to maintain, carved with various patterns, which is very beautiful.
There are lotus flowers planted in the pool, red, white, purple, colorful, so beautiful. The lotus leaves are like a big umbrella that holds up the sky, one after another, covering half of the pool.
In the middle of the pool, there is a rockery, and two boulders hug each other like lovers. There are many cracks on the boulder on the left, forming ravines of uneven thickness, intersecting with each other, like a huge net wrapping the entire boulder. The other piece is uneven and extremely asymmetrical, but it forms an alternative beauty.
There are many holes on the two boulders, and the flowing water overflows from the holes, forming a small water curtain one by one; on the edge of the water curtain, small pieces of green moss are dotted; the spring water falls on the stones, the water splashes, and the sound is exquisite, which makes people feel happy, comfortable, and quiet. Take a closer look, there is a round stone cave in the water curtain, not big or small, hidden behind the water curtain, hazy, revealing an unknown mystery.
Tang Bai had an intuition that Han Cai'er entered the stone cave behind the water curtain.
With this thought, the more certain he was in his heart, thinking of Han Caier's strange eyes, he couldn't help but wonder, what is the mystery in this rockery?
He did not immediately jump into the water, but returned to his house, prepared a small oil lamp, a fire breaker, a bottle of antidote to and stop bleeding, and hid the dagger in his sleeve from the small red box in the cabinet, and then a little dry food and water, wrapped it in waterproof paper, and put it in his backpack.
It took him an hour to get to the edge of the pool again, and he jumped into it without hesitation.
The water in the pond is a little cold, he can't help but shiver, although the water is not deep, but he is short, and can not probe the bottom, at the beginning of a little panic, very good in the previous life can swim, after letting go of his hands and feet, three or two to the rockery boulder; found a raised stone, carefully through the water curtain, into the stone cave.
The stone cave is not big, and with his size, he also needs to bow down, and there are countless small holes inside, and the heavenly light shines through the holes and cracks, shining on the bottom of the cave, like a broken mirror. There is also the sound of ticking water in the cave, like a natural note, sometimes urgent and slow, pleasant to the ear, and in the stone cave, a little faint medicinal fragrance makes people say uncomfortable.
Sure enough, Han Cai'er had been here, and her guess was proven, which made Tang Bai a little inexplicably excited and deepened his curiosity.
The stone cave went all the way down, straight to the bottom of the pool, and the further down, the dimmer the light, he lit the oil lamp from his backpack, and found that the space inside was much larger than the entrance, not far, and there were seven or eight similar holes, large and small, up and down, left and right, the thickness of small fists, the big ones were like entrances, enough to pass people. His head was big for a while, and he sniffed for a while, and his gaze rested on a small stone cave that was inclined upwards, where the fragrance was strongest.
He couldn't help but hesitate, it should be the way out, and this cave entrance is small, with his thin figure, he is worried about how Han Cai'er entered this small stone cave in the card?
After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, threw his backpack into the stone cave, and then tightened the muscles of his whole body, and drilled into the small stone cave; he didn't crawl for long, and it was much more empty inside, the more he went inside, the more he couldn't tell the direction, sometimes left and sometimes right, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, and I don't know how long it took, the cave seemed to have no end; the wet clothes stuck to the body were very uncomfortable; all the way to bumps and bumps, the hands and feet were broken by some sharp stones, spicy and painful, the only thing that made him happy was that there was still that faint medicinal fragrance left in this stone cave, proving that Han Caier had indeed comeγ
The stone cave is getting more and more empty, and it is getting darker and darker, so black that it makes people panic, the faint light of the oil lamp is becoming more and more weird, and the faint medicinal fragrance has disappeared at some point, he suddenly felt panicked, and there was an inexplicable aura invisibly, which made people depressed and panicked, as if this stone cave was a passage to hell.
He became more and more uneasy, not wanting a faint breeze to blow on his face, the oil lamp was extinguished in an instant, and his five fingers were not visible all around him, and he hurriedly took the dagger from his sleeve and held it tightly in his hand, waiting for a sudden change, perhaps because of the darkness, he felt a deathly crisis.
He just took out the fire fold from his backpack, suddenly a shiver, the hair exploded instantly, the feeling of danger made him not hurry to think, his body pounced forward, the dagger in his right hand slashed back half an arc, the move was not launched, it hit a huge force, the dagger in his hand was pulled out, and then an ear-piercing 'squeak' sounded, he just reacted, only to see two points of green light flashing in the dark like ghost fire, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed towards himself with a yin wind.
He hurriedly rolled to the right, in his position just now, suddenly sounded 'snort', a strange fishy smell permeated, he only smelled a little, he felt nauseated, dizzy, confused, and felt that something was close to him, both hands naturally used the Tang family's boxing method in the 'double wind through the ears', only to see two fists hit on a slippery soft meat, the strength of the six or seven points in vain, he turned his fist into a grasp, using 'five fingers towards the phoenix'; through the fingertips, both hands seemed to grasp a huge slippery giant rope.
He reacted immediately, what he caught in his hand was a snake, in the dark, he seemed to see the snake letter vomiting lightly, the venom was flying, he was frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to let go, the strength in his hand was getting bigger and bigger, with the snake's struggle, unconsciously, the waist had been wrapped around the snake's body, the tighter and tighter, the huge force kept squeezing and winding, making him feel the pain and suffocation, as if to completely squeeze out the air in the body, to grind all the internal organs.
He had difficulty breathing, his eyes were red, and he was extremely uncomfortable, but there was no fear in his heart, and he was fierce in his bones, and he opened his mouth to bite the snake, and the smell of blood rushed to his mouth and nose, and a cold liquid went straight into his throat and into his lungs.
He shuddered suddenly, and the temperature of his whole body seemed to drop to zero degrees in an instant, and at the same time, the huge force of the snake's body was constantly contracting, and his waist was getting tighter and tighter, as if the bones in his body were crushed, and the pain and pressure suffocated him.
In a drowsy state, he seemed to see the figure of death in his previous life, he seemed to see countless lonely scriptures, he seemed to see a big river flowing in his body, he seemed to see a lotus flower, which was constantly getting bigger and bigger, getting bigger and bigger, time was still, his breath was still, and he only had one thought in his mind, was he going to die again?
