"The feet are shoulder-width apart, and the knees are slightly bent-" Wang Zhutou no longer took a stance, and pointed at Zhao Jiulai in the light of the sky and the lights in the room: "The two arms are bent in front of the chest, the ten fingers are facing each other, and the fingertips are three inches apart." ”

"The head is straightened, and the jaw is slightly adducted—" Wang Zhutou pointed to the place where the head and neck were connected and continued: "It's here, not the chin!" ”

"Ears flat, shoulders at the same height, hips at the same height – hips here!"

"Look straight ahead, a little lower."

"Two ears are directly behind you, a little higher."

"Hundred will be empty, heavy shoulders and elbows-"

Zhao Jiu listened and practiced while remembering, and if he didn't understand, he immediately asked: "Uncle Zhong, what is Baihui False Collar?" ”

"With your feet on the ground and your head in the air, you have to lead your internal strength to rise to the Baihui acupoints on the top of your head, make a posture of ascending, and relax your body one by one from head to toe. Don't relax your whole body at once, that's called crossing! You have to relax, align the sections, support the mission door back, step inward, hang your arms like a bell hammer, and look like a loose and non-loose general will not be unfolded, this is the so-called - virtual collar top strength, heavy shoulders and elbows, chest and back, loose waist and hips, tail lube in the middle, knees relaxed, positive and complex, breathing in the dantian, breathing naturally, relaxed inside and outside! ”

I didn't expect it to be so hard to stand on a pile, Zhao Jiu only felt that his whole body was sore and unbearable, and his buttocks moved as soon as he thought about it. Wang Zhutou didn't know when he held a branch in his hand, and when he saw this, he slapped Zhao Jiu's buttocks, and shouted: "Raise your butt, come again!" ”

"Yes!"

"Zhao Jiu, standing on a stake is not for you to stand like a stake, but for you to learn to accumulate strength, meditate, and integrate your spirit and spirit. The so-called accumulation of strength is to accumulate strength like a bow, and to exert strength like an arrow——"

"The so-called meditation is to look ahead and replace ten thousand thoughts with one thought. Let the distracting thoughts that arise go with it. Turning a blind eye, hearing and not hearing; Those who come do not refuse, and those who go do not stay. ”

As he spoke, Wang Zhutou raised his hand and pressed Zhao Jiu's arm, and said, "My arm is stiff, come back after a while." ”

"Xie Zhongbo!"

"It's not easy to practice martial arts, you start late, you have to work harder, don't slack off, and you have to stand at least one hour when you come back every day in the future!"

"Yes, Uncle Zhong!"

"There are also twenty-eight words here, you should remember it, and then slowly comprehend it in the future!"

"Yes!"

"Standing in the middle of the body is hanging with his head, and his abdomen is loose and clean. Sanyang gathered in Baihui, and the dantian was in Guanyuan. ”

Compared with Wang Zhutou's careful teaching, Zhao Jiu felt that the meditation he practiced in the past was simply fooling around, no wonder he always missed the essentials. After Wang Zhutou made the main points clear, he let Zhao Jiu understand by himself, Zhao Jiu didn't dare to do it in a hurry, he first thought about what Wang Zhutou said from beginning to end, and was sure that he didn't miss anything and repeated it three or four times, and then re-compared. He was on the rise, and Wang Kangping came back from practice and passed by him without noticing.

The next day, Wang Kangping was still on duty, and Zhao Jiu also went out with him early in the morning. Unlike yesterday, Zhao Jiu is a little more lively today, and Wang Kangping also likes it very much, and takes Zhao Jiu around. Wang Kangping was on duty for three days in a row, and Zhao Jiu also followed him around for three days, and it was not until the fourth day that Wang Zhutou took Zhao Jiu to the class room to hang up the number.

Zhao Jiu received a new group of fast catchers, shoes and hats, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Wang Zhutou told him: "Catching fast is a cheap business, if you enter this door, you can't participate in the scientific examination for three generations, let alone offend those powerful people." There are many ways here, if you don't understand, you can ask, at most you will give people a joke, but it is better than not knowing how to pretend to understand and make mistakes. ”

"Yes, Headcatcher!" Zhao Jiu, the former Yamen people, also called Wang Shizhong as the head catcher like everyone else, and called Zhongbo when there was no one. In addition to clothes, shoes and hats, Zhao Jiu also received some other outfits, including waist cards, iron rulers, and ropes, and when he returned to Wang's house, Wang Kangping taught Zhao Jiu to dress up.

"Yo, you're pretty presentable!"

"Hehe, I have to ask Brother Kangping to take care of it!"

Wang Kangping is catching fast, he has his own work to do, Zhao Jiu officially followed Wang Zhutou, every day after the yamen ran before and after, and squatted in the yard at night, just waiting to touch the key to re-practice the martial arts left by Mr. Qin. Of course, the boxing techniques that Jin Zhukuai taught him did not fall behind. Wang Zhutou taught his son very strictly, Zhao Jiu and Wang Kangping practiced their own skills and did not interfere with each other, and Wang Kangping did not care that his father taught Zhao Jiu another way.

After getting along for a long time, Zhao Jiu felt that Wang Zhutou regarded him as his own nephew in his heart, and Zhao Jiu guessed that this was related to Jin Zhukuai. On this day, it was Zhao Jiu's turn to rest, he practiced money darts in the courtyard against the door panel and let Wang Zhutou see it, it happened that Kang Ping was not there, Wang Zhutou called Zhao Jiu and asked: "Who gave you this dart?" ”

"Golden Catch!"

"Didn't he teach you how to practice?"

Zhao Jiu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Look, the money dart is going to be taken like this!" Wang Zhutou took the money dart, held it down with his thumb and middle finger, and then bent the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, and the money dart was already on the side of the middle finger. Wang Zhutou raised his hand and knocked out the money dart, which was firmly nailed to a tree two zhang away, and Zhao Jiu ran over and pulled it down, but it was not damaged at all.

"Practice this in the house in the future, don't let Kangping see it!"

"Yes!"

Wang Zhutou frowned, and when he entered the house, Xiuniang was not there, and Zhao Jiu was left in the courtyard. Zhao Jiu wiped the money dart clean and put it back on his chest, he didn't know why Wang Zhutou was suddenly unhappy, and he didn't understand why Wang Zhutou didn't pass it on to Kang Ping since he knew how to pay the money dart. Although Wang Kangping's martial arts have a solid foundation and practice diligently, if you look closely, it is an ordinary fist and leg technique, which is not much different from several other old catchers in the class, Zhao Jiu really doesn't understand why Wang Zhutou is willing to teach him but hides it from his son.

That is to say, this dart will not be able to be practiced in the yard in the future, the pile can still squat, and the martial arts of Jin Zhukuai and Mr. Qin must not be shown. Zhao Jiu looked at God and sighed, rolled up his sleeves and moved the dry wood under the eaves to the yard, planning to chop some firewood for Xiuniang. Zhao Jiu had just squatted on the stump to get a snack, he put the tree pocket between his legs, picked up the axe like a squatting stump and chopped it down.

One axe, two axes, three axes...... A good end of a tree pocket made Zhao Jiu split into sawdust. By the time Zhao Jiu figured out the essentials of squatting and splitting wood, this tree pocket was almost finished for him. Wang Kangping came back and saw the rotten wood piled up under the eaves, and laughed at Zhao Jiu for some reason, which made his father unhappy, and Leng doubled the evening class. Kang Ping listened to his father's words the most, and went to practice without complaining, which made Zhao Jiu feel guilty.

To get back to the point, Zhao Jiu is also dedicated and conscientious in the yamen, but wherever he wants to run errands, he will never shirk, everyone says that Wang Zhutou is blessed, has a filial and obedient son and a nephew who has grown up, Wang Zhutou always smiles, and says humbly: "Where, they are still far away!" ”

As Wang Kangping said, Zhao Jiu's first month's salary for the first month really fell a few pennies in his hand, and he took it to invite the old catcher to drink. Zhao Jiu didn't have much money to live in Wang's house, so he handed over the rest to Xiuniang, which could be regarded as adding some firewood, rice, oil and salt to this family.
