Chapter 10 Get up early to practice and practice knives

The next day, at about six o'clock, Li got up and was about to practice the nameless sword technique in the morning, but found Xu Changqing's figure in the courtyard.

I saw that his body slowly stood up, and his arms were raised and separated; Heel lift inhale. Then lower down and exhale. This breath and breath is repeated.

Is this practicing? Seeing Xu Changqing there with his eyes closed, Li Le didn't dare to go over to disturb him, but just quietly watched his movements intently, his heart full of infinite curiosity.

"Come here!" Just when Li Le's mind was attracted, Xu Changqing's voice suddenly came.

After being slightly stunned, Li Le also walked over, and then stood side by side with him, and began to slowly learn his movements.

Xu Changqing's movements are very slow, extremely long between breathing and breathing, and the form of his movements is like flowing water, natural and smooth.

After observing for a while, Li Le also slowly moved with his movements.

Xu Changqing still closed his eyes, practicing freely, and at the same time slowly narrated the main points of the movements in his mouth.

This method of breathing mainly lies in the word opening and closing. The action requires "open" to be unfolded and "closed" to be closed. Inhale as the limbs stand up and spread, and breathe in as much as you can; Exhale as your lower back is closed, and you should exhale it completely.

The movements should be soothing, the breathing should be slender, not short, and not tense. Open and close the breath, up and down the breath, and the breathing should be synchronized with the action.

Under his guidance, Li Le's movements gradually learned a little bit, and as time progressed, he became more and more proficient.

But then there was a sense of boredom, constantly repeating these two movements, Li Le only felt a little boring.

At this moment, I heard Xu Changqing say leisurely: "Close your eyes and concentrate, feel nature with your heart, exhale and inhale, fall together, don't force it, go with your heart!"

Hearing this, Li Le also felt a pang in his heart, knowing that this was Xu Changqing reminding himself. At the moment, I gathered my spirit, gradually closed my eyes and felt nature, and at the same time, I no longer thought about how to move or breathe in my mind.

Slowly, Li Le gradually entered the state, and the sense of boredom in his heart gradually disappeared.

When his mood was completely calm, Li Le only felt that there was a sudden silence in his ears. The sound of Xu Changqing's long breathing beside him seemed to bring him into a different world.

Listen to the rustle of the breeze through the leaves, and feel the lightness and softness that caresses it. There is also the freshness of the air and the fragrance of earthy herbs, and Li Le suddenly feels that this is nature.

Although it is quiet, it can experience a more subtle feeling, so that the soul is calmed and the soul is sublimated.

At this moment, he was closing his eyes and concentrating, not noticing that his movements were becoming smoother and more natural each time, and his breathing was getting longer and longer.

In this quiet villa courtyard, both of them are silently immersed in the state of blending soul and nature, and their expressions also reveal a comfortable and peaceful state.

As time passed, when the morning sun sprinkled the first soft rays of burgundy light, Xu Changqing's movements also began to change, his arms were raised and separated, and his hands fell into fists around his waist, and his left foot was retracted into a parallel step to stand.

At the same time, he also slowly narrated the actions to Li Le in his mouth, and then the two of them opened their eyes one after another.

The feeling just now has been immersed in it, and until he opened his eyes, he still had a sense of aftertaste, "Why did you stop suddenly?" ”

"It's just a breathing method that breathes in the old and absorbs the dirty breath of the person, strengthens the lungs and strengthens the body. It is a long-term thing, you need to persevere, and you must also choose an environment with clear air. Generally, it is most suitable before sunrise, and the last few actions just now are used only to close the work. ”

Listening to Xu Changqing's explanation, Li Le understood, and then couldn't help but continue to ask: "This is the unique method of the Natural Gate?"

"No, this is just one of the traditional martial arts training exercises, which are commonly used by various sects, also known as the ventilation method. As for the exercises of my natural gate, it is mainly based on creating something out of nothing, not talking about it, not focusing on the appearance, taking the qi as the home, without losing the essence of nature, and it is self-contained. Look at the human body as a whole, train the whole body to complete the strength, so that all parts of the human body can achieve the achievement of bravery. You need to lay a solid foundation first! ”

Seeing that Li Le had curiosity in his eyes, Xu Changqing did not hide his selfishness, and told him the basic foundation building exercises.

It took more than an hour to give a rough explanation, and Li Le also felt dizzy after listening to it.

According to Xu Changqing, the foundation building method of the Natural Gate is a method called "Hercules Gong", although the name is a bit cheesy, but its steps are quite complicated.

The whole exercise is subdivided into, waist exercise, head exercise, upper back exercise, lower back exercise, leg exercise, etc., involving almost every part of the human body.

This is also just the foundation, and then the natural boxing mainly includes token style, Ya Que step, turn back style, long hand push palm, twist step, flip hammer, teasing, elbow hit, shaved palm, mountain tiger, rely on hit, cannon flash, flat chest palm closing and other postures.

Each one needs time to temper, only to a certain extent, but completely out of the style, the footsteps change lightly, the whole posture, footwork, hand style is free and easy, in order to make the natural door martial arts style self-contained.

After the content was probably finished, Xu Changqing also popped out a sentence that made Li Le's eyes pop out, "If you want to learn, I can teach you." ”

Although I don't know what kind of rules the natural door is, it is not always possible for everyone to learn. Xu Changqing's words obviously did not take Li Le as an outsider.

Li Le is very interested in this kung fu, but when he thinks of the incomparably complicated basic skills, he feels a little numb in his scalp!

After thinking for a while, Li Letian popped out with a face, "Is there any quick way?" I don't want to do it overnight, it's okay for a week! ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao is Xu Changqing, who was so calm, couldn't help but roll his eyes, "No! ”

"That month!"

Xu Changqing was speechless for a moment, then ignored him, turned around and prepared to enter the door.

At this time, Li Le was anxious, and chased after him and said: "One year!" One year of time! ”

Xu Changqing stood a little helplessly, and looked at Li Le with a serious look in the back, "Practicing is not something that can be achieved overnight, it is a long-term plan, if you really want to learn the idea of a successful husband in just one and a half years, I advise you to dispel the idea of learning kung fu as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that what Xu Changqing said was serious, Li Le also restrained his joking mentality. "I'll learn from you, but can you delay it for a while, after all, I still have to be busy for a while during this time!"

Xu Changqing frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded. He also knew about preparing a birthday gift for the old man of the Li family, so he didn't embarrass Li Le.

As soon as Li Le followed him into the gate, he suddenly turned around and seemed to be practicing the nameless sword technique, and then turned around and walked out of the gate.

Before coming to the pile of marble, Li Le took out the carving knife in his hand, which was used for carving olive pits, because he carried it, so he brought it with him when he came to Beijing.

Originally, it was not possible to carve stone, and such a knife would definitely not work, but there was a spirit of carving, and the existence of the knife was just to not attract attention.

Standing in front of the stone, Li Le wanted to calm down his mood, but he couldn't help but recall the feeling of integrating into nature when he practiced the ventilation method just now.

Then he closed his eyes again, but what he thought about was not the natural scene, but the trajectory of the first knife of the nameless knife technique.

As soon as the light lit up, Li Le's green fingers also moved. As the light point moved, a trace as thin as a gossamer appeared on the smooth surface of the stone.

Then at the dot, Li Le couldn't help but pause, and the scene in his mind disappeared.

Li Le had expected such a scene in his heart, so he was not discouraged, and continued to restrain his spirit for the second time. The same result appeared again on the stone, again stuck in the dot.

Again and again, again and again. I don't know how many times it has been, Li Le tiredly repeats the same action again and again, but he has never been able to break through that hurdle.

After another failure, Li Le also stopped what he was doing and began to think, is his method wrong? Or is it your own speed?

Thinking of this, Li Le couldn't help but imitate the trajectory again, and at the same time slowed down the movement in his hand, very slowly, very slowly!

Needless to say, the sharpness of the spirit of carving is also like cutting tofu on the stone. With the movement of his hand, an arc-shaped trajectory slowly appeared on the smooth side of the stone.

As he slowed down, the trajectory was finally able to draw out completely, although there was no trace of lightness and weight, but the dot was really out.

There was no hurry to speed up, and when he portrayed again, Li Le was still portraying slowly, he wanted his body to gradually become familiar with this feeling first, and then slowly speed up after he became proficient.

For a whole morning, Li Le was there quietly alone, and only stopped when Liu Yunyao called him to eat.

In the next two days, Li Le basically practiced the ventilation method in the morning and then practiced the nameless knife technique.

At the same time, he was also working on inkstones during the day. After two days of using the spirit of carving, Li Le also felt more and more comfortable, basically a knife can be used as multiple knives. The nature of the spirit of carving is originally a mass of energy, and it can naturally change its form. So no matter what kind of carving knife, he is a freewheeling change, completely omnipotent.

He also took the time to purchase the materials needed for other processes of the inkstone, and only spent more than 1,000 yuan in total, which is still sufficient.

As time passed, carving tools and ebony roots were finally delivered. Ebony Gen Li Le wanted to take advantage of the work in front of him to carve it out, but now the time is occupied by making inkstones, and he can only delay.
