Chapter 7 The Gym

It is an old-fashioned courtyard-style building with white walls and gray tiles, and the cornices are lit with high-power light bulbs, and you can see that the building covers a large area, and you can't see the end of the wall at a glance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before they could get closer to the building, the three of them heard a burst of shouts of "huha" and a heavy beating. After following Xia Zhen into the gate, a huge open-air playground appeared in front of them.

The most on the playground are the stumps of different heights and thicknesses and the sturdy guys who keep hitting the stumps with their hands and feet, the sound of snapping is endless, the scene is very spectacular, and these trainers will shout "huha" every time they hit hard, which is exactly what Xin Yuan heard outside the door.

"This is Huha Kaka, which is what we call bone crushing fist in China." Xia Zhen showed an undisguised preference for the scene in front of him, and introduced it to the boys and girls with great interest: "This is a very practical and powerful hand-to-hand fighting technique, which is very fierce and fierce, and basically suits the physique of our people, so it is also a very popular practical fighting technique in China." ”

Speaking of this, Xia Zhen pointed to the huge stone tablet standing at the entrance behind him and said: "This is not only the largest boxing gym in Jialuo, but also a very famous tourist attraction, which has existed for more than 300 years. Of course, this place was originally not that big, and it has been expanded several times to become what it is now, but this training gym has basically maintained its most primitive appearance, don't look at those tree stumps are very inconspicuous, but there are many of them that have existed for hundreds of years. Hey, do you see the ones over there that are blocked by the rope? The stakes were even older than the gym's. ”

"Wow, that's amazing." Xu Youran exclaimed.

"Sister Zhenzhen, are you familiar with this kind of fighting technique?" In Xin Yuan's view, Bone Crushing Fist is very similar to Muay Thai on Earth, and it just so happens that he has also involved various schools of fighting skills in the world in the training he organized, and when he heard Xia Zhen's introduction, he was also a little interested.

"A little bit." Xia Zhen smiled and nodded, and continued to walk inside with the two of them.

"Sister Zhenzhen is very powerful, didn't you see it last time?" However, Xu Youran was a little dissatisfied with Xin Yuan's doubts about Xia Zhen, and interjected as if he was uneven, "You must know that Sister Zhenzhen also won the championship of the provincial competition last year." ”

"That's different, Xiao You, I'm mainly practicing mixed martial arts, and this kind of fighting technique that is too lethal can't be on stage." Xia Zhen touched Xu Youran's head and shook his head, "Of course, like many other fighting techniques, I have also practiced some bone crushing fists, but I definitely can't say that I am proficient, I will show you that it will be clear." ”

You have to pay for a ticket to practice here, of course, the price is not expensive, not only local young people who want to get ahead will often come here to practice, sometimes tourists here will also be itchy to see and end up with two strokes.

"Tonglan has been deeply influenced by the culture of our country for hundreds of years, so the broken bone boxing was actually a branch variant of our southwestern boxing school at the beginning, but it took root in Tonglan and after a long-term struggle to resist foreign aggression, it gradually formed a local unique boxing technique, and because it was produced in the historical background of the war of resistance to foreign aggression, the fighting style of the broken bone boxing is very fierce and deadly, which can be seen from the nickname we gave it......"

On the way to pay, Xia Zhen popularized the relevant knowledge to the two and a half children by the way. After paying the money, Xia Zhen got a number plate, and then quickly found the stump corresponding to the number plate.

"These stumps used to practice bone crushing are all Wu Gaoshu. According to the most formal practice, you must choose a three-year-old Wu Gao tree, cut off the top half and apply a special potion on the section, so that the lower tree will not grow up, but it can maintain its vigorous vitality and has a very strong self-healing ability. At this time, the body of the tree is light cyan, tough and elastic, which is suitable for beginners to practice hardness and not easy to hurt the body; With the improvement of the practitioner's level, the bones and legs of the hands and legs will become harder, and the surface of the stump that has been hit for a long time will become darker and darker due to the dual force of continuous external pressure and the expansion force of its own outward growth, and the body of the tree will become more dense and solid, which is more suitable for the needs of the practitioner at this time, and it can be regarded as a person and the tree growing together to a certain extent.

For the Bone Crusher master, the stump that belongs to him is unique, and it is likely that it will not be able to adapt to his training level at all, so many people who practice Bone Crushing will use a stump for the rest of their lives, and it is easier to know the approximate level of this person, just look at the color of the stump he uses. Also, remember not to touch this kind of stump that belongs to a certain Bone Breaker master, otherwise it will easily cause trouble. ”

Xia Qing went up and patted the stump, pointed to the different shades of color on it and said: "Of course, for those of us who come to play temporarily, we don't pay so much attention to it, just look at the messy colors here and know that this is the kind for tourists to play casually, and the stump that has really been hit by a master for a long time is the kind of uniform color and luster throughout the body, and it will not be like obvious color difference patches here." ”

For this information, Xin Yuan and Xu Youran listened to it with relish, and then they realized that there was such a statement in it.

Let Xin Yuan and the others retreat a little, and Xia Zhen began to warm up.

At this moment, Xin Yuan obviously felt that Xia Zhenduo was not serious before, and he did a few warm-up actions meticulously, and when he took off his sandals and put them aside neatly, he even showed a kind of piety.

"Look closely, I'll tell you now why it's called Hoo Ha Ka Ka Ka ."

Xia Zhen's feet were forked forward and backward, he took a deep breath, the muscle groups from the neck along the waist of the spine to the legs trembled slightly, and he shouted out loudly, and the slightly backward right foot bounced up at a very small but extremely fast speed, and the trajectory of the road left only a vague shadow in the eyes of Xin Yuan and Xu Youran, and hit the stump heavily, and then there was a crisp click, Xia Zhen's right foot had returned to its original place, and the sound was made by her right foot stepping on the ground. But just before the two of them could recover from the swift kick they had just made, another clicking sound sounded, this time from the place where the stump had been kicked.

Woo-ha, click, click.

Xin Yuan immediately understood that the original name of the Bone Crushing Fist was completely translated in onomatopoeia.

With a light breath, Xia Zhen looked back at the two of them and beckoned them over: "You should understand it, Huhaka is the simplest way to express the essence of this boxing technique." Huha is actually a breathing regulation method that needs to be used to practice bone crushing fist, and the moment he kicks out, he is about to spit out his breath violently, so he makes such a shout. The first click in the back is to ensure its own flexibility after closing the foot, and the afterburner is deliberately strengthened to obtain the reaction force from the ground, so that the body can use the force to respond more sensitively, so as to gain the initiative of attack and defense, and the latter click is the sound that erupted after the second gravity and the first impact force attached to the kick just collided together. Come and see. ”

Xin Yuan leaned up to look at the position on the stump that was kicked by Xia Zhen, and saw that the bark had been dented, and there was an additional opening in the middle line of the depression, which was as long as a finger and very shallow, but it seemed to have been torn apart by force, and he reached out and touched it, and there was a hideous feeling, which made him a little surprised in his heart.

Although he has a high estimate of Xia Zhen's skills based on his previous impressions, he is still a little too conservative now, and he is no worse than the black market boxing masters he has seen in his previous life, and even surpasses it.

Is this the level of the world's fighting masters?

On the other side, Xu Youran was also speechless, looking at her big sister who had always been her idol with a look of admiration, and stars were about to flash in her eyes.

"The effect of a true Bone Breaker master's full force kick is like an axe cutting it, and I'm still far from it." Speaking of this, Xia Zhen was very emotional, "You guys try it, I'll watch from the side." ”

THEN XIA ZHEN BEGAN TO INSTRUCT THE TWO OF THEM ON THE SKILLS OF KICKING THE STUMP, OF COURSE, THE PERSON WHO TAUGHT IT WOULD DEFINITELY NOT BE TOO SERIOUS, AND THE SAME WAS TRUE FOR THOSE WHO LEARNED, THE NATURE OF THE PLAY WAS MORE, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL CLASSIC POSES TO TAKE PICTURES.

After a while, the three of them continued to walk inside.

In addition to the function of the gym, the buildings here are also of historical value and are well worth a visit.

In this regard, I have to admire Xia Zhen for being well-informed, she can say the Tao everywhere she goes, and it really gives Xin Yuan a lot of insight when she goes around. Xu Youran also benefited a lot from this, you must know that the direction she chose to observe the report this time is the local architectural style and characteristics, and I think that with the help of Xia Zhen, she will definitely be able to get an ideal score.

Returning to the playground from the other side when he came in, Xu Youran suddenly pointed ahead and asked, "What is that place?" The location of this building is strange. ”

Xin Yuan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that it was a religious building similar to a land temple, not very big, but it was not small, and a large part of it was those boxers who practiced boxing here, coming in and out, it was very lively.

It's normal.

Xin Yuan thought about it for a while before he understood what Xu Youran was referring to.

Listening to Xia Zhen's introduction earlier, Xin Yuan learned that the architectural style of Tonglan is very symmetrical on the central axis, and the buildings they visited just now are also in such a style, sitting in the north and facing south, neatly arranged on the central axis. The building in front of them should be regarded as a side hall from the point of view, but there is no corresponding building at all on the other side of the road they walked in front of, which is rare in such an ancient building complex.

"Do you think it's in the wrong place? No symmetrical architecture? Xia Zhen said with a smile.

"Hmm." Xu leisurely nodded.

"That's because it's a place dedicated to Cinnaro."

"What is Cinnaro?" Xin Yuan said curiously.

"It's an evil god in the legend of Tonglan, who was once a party to the woe and was later subdued by the Buddha, anyway, it's similar to most similar myths."

Hearing Xia Zhen say this, Xu Youran immediately suddenly realized: "So that's the case, this is the Temple of the Evil God, I saw it when I checked the information, this kind of building is not allowed to be built on the central axis, nor can there be a corresponding building on the other side, it is said to represent the shackles of the Buddha to bind the evil god." ”

"Yes, but Sinaro is very revered by the fighters, and according to the tradition here, the fighter has to go to Sinnaro before the fight to get good luck in the fight. Let's go in and have a look. ”
