Chapter 29: The Teachings of the Ancient Mountain Dragon

The memories continue.

"It's useless to just talk, you have to look at your performance on the field to know," Gu Shanlong said, "There are people who are majestic on the field, and they become cowards when they play." At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly swung a punch, he avoided it sideways, and smacked his lips, "Okay, that's it, what you want is this ferocious energy." Remember, if you don't hit someone, they will beat you—"

I've heard this many times. "-- Preemptive, kill with one blow." Xu Changqing quickly finished speaking for the old man.

"That's it. Remember, I'm not teaching you foreigner boxing. You come and go, you fight hard, not the kind of stupid fight. Use your power where it matters most. Attack it by surprise, surprise it, exert force in an instant, and kill with one blow! Have you memorized all the 32 vital points of the human body? You'll have to wait, wait for your opponent to reveal the key, and then use all your strength to get there! Don't bang his hand on the shoulder, it won't do him any good except waste of energy. ”

It's like this every day, until you sweat and every muscle hurts.

"Face!" Gu Shanlong shouted and threw a punch at Xu Changqing's nose. Xu Changqing stepped back to avoid it.

"Chest!" The ancient mountain dragon screamed again, and its fist roared and followed. Xu Changqing's hand also quickly caught up. The two of them parted with a touch of arms. The ancient mountain dragon jumped away, like a nimble white ape.

"Lower abdomen!" The more the old man spoke, the faster he spoke, followed by a series of "waist!" "Throat! "Left rib! The fist is like lightning. Xu Changqing struggled left and right, trying to block every attack.

"Haban'er, are you only defensive?" The old man scolded. So Xu Changqing began to counterattack. The old man punched, and he dodged sideways, and instead slammed the empty door under the opponent's ribs. This punch almost hit the old man, and Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel a little proud. "It's okay just now." The old man gave a word of encouragement. However, the sparring continued. "Nose!" Gu Shan Long shouted, "Defense, hurry up!" "His fists and kicks are so fast that it is hard to imagine that they come from an old man." Left rib, right rib, chest, lower abdomen! ”

Xu Changqing crossed his hands and blocked in front of his lower abdomen. However, Gu Shan Long's punch flew high and hit him in the nose with a "bang". Suddenly, his face was sour, he took a few steps back, his head was dizzy, and he felt something hot running down his nose.

Gu Shanlong restrained his posture: "This punch just now, if I really exert force, the bridge of your nose will be inserted into the skull." ”

Xu Changqing wiped off the nosebleed, and looked angry: "You obviously called the lower abdomen ......"

The old man said: "You believe what I say, do you look good with a pair of eyes?" You look at my shoulder, look at the angle of my elbow, is that punch going to my stomach? ”

"......" is so sharp that it is impossible to refute it.

After putting away the boxing fight, Gu Shanlong threw an ice pack: "Take a break, and apply it to your face by the way." ”

In the afternoon, Chinatown is full of traffic. However, the second floor of this alley is empty and deserted. The shadows of the wooden windows stretched long on the floor. One old and one young sat against the wall. The old man lit his cigarette pouch and smoked a hookah.

"I came to Fusang at the age of thirteen, and when I entered the martial arts hall, I started by sweeping the floor and pouring the spittoon, and I have been a senior brother. Someone kicked out of the gym, and I came forward to deal with it. Eighteen gambling houses near Chinatown have to invite people from our martial arts hall to watch the scene. The Fusang community wants to move our territory, and we will fight again and again, and we will fight again and again...... Every time I kill all sides, do you know why? ”

It's a simple question. "Because you're very good at fighting." Xu Changqing didn't think about it, so he said.

"It's very good to fight, but why am I the best at fighting? I was thirty-eight years old when I became a senior brother, and many of the younger brothers below were stronger than me, younger than me, and trained harder than me. Tell you," the old man put on a posture of grabbing the pearl with two dragons, pointing his eyes blankly, "The key is that I can see and see everyone clearly." ”

"See everyone?"

"Listen carefully, this is an experience that money can't buy. No two people in the world are exactly the same, and even twins, they will be different. Tall people have a less stable center of gravity; Short people are steady, but the range of fists and feet is small; People who pile too many muscles will move slowly; People who overemphasize flexibility are physically weak and cannot withstand beatings. When looking at a person, you must carefully analyze which hand he is used to, and which foot he is used to walking with as support. What little movements did he make unconsciously? Are there any old wounds? Where is the injury? If you see these things clearly, even if you can't beat him, at least you still have hope of getting out. ”

Xu Changqing remembered this passage all his life until today. The old man was right, he taught these experiences in exchange for blood, and money could not measure their value at all.

"The former senior brother had just opened the museum by himself, and the next day the master called me over. There have been rumors before that the elder brother is going to be independent. Regarding the matter of this next senior brother, many senior brothers have met the master, but none of them have succeeded, and finally it is my turn. As soon as I went in that day, I saw Master sitting at the window, making tea. He poured me a bowl of tea and said, "This is the big red robe on Wuyi Mountain." 'This tea is precious, you taste it, isn't it fragrant?' He said to me. ”

"Choose a senior brother by drinking tea?" Xu Changqing remembered that he asked at the time. He really couldn't understand such a selection criterion.

The old man smiled proudly: "I looked at the teapot and the bowl, and then at the place where the master was sitting, and then said to him, 'I don't know if the tea is good or not, but if I take the bowl and drink it, at least seven or eight vital points will be revealed all over my body.'" When Master heard this, he laughed and appointed me to be the next senior brother that day. ”

I remember not understanding it at the time: "But that's your master." Why do you think he's going to attack you? ”

Gu Shanlong once again put on the posture of two dragons to grab the pearl, and pointed to his eyes: "You have to 'look'." When a person wants to attack you, will he say it? Although my master is sitting, his waist and abdomen are as tight as springs, his front feet are weak, his back feet are solid, his left hand is in front, and his right hand is supporting the armrest of the chair. As soon as I show the empty door, it will be a situation of beating in an instant. My brothers and sisters just didn't see this, and they were brushed off and don't know why. Do you really think that the position of the senior brother is based on tea tasting? We are a martial arts house, not a teahouse. ”

Xu Changqing listened carefully and thoughtfully: "Your master deliberately misled, but you avoided the fog and detected the main points he really wanted to investigate. ”

The old man patted Xu Changqing the shoulder: "That's right, that's it!" The most important thing is to keep your eyes open and look closely! It's easy for everyone to believe the information that comes easily, because everyone is lazy and believes whatever others say. If you want to be better than others, you have to be diligent. See the details that others don't notice, hear the meaning that others don't realize, connect all the details, and analyze them carefully with your head, so that you can see through the truth. ”
