Chapter 26: Inspiration from a Dream
Lin Mingyang's promise threw most of the next half of his summer vacation into devilish training. Bajiquan's stomping, blowing and exerting force together constitute the three basic elements of Bajiquan's strength, in the remaining less than a month, Old Man Lin does not expect Lin Mingyang to be able to achieve it overnight, as long as he can master these three basic technical essentials, he will pass this level.
Because the foundation laid by Lin Mingyang when he was a child is still there, Lin Aoquan started with the power of Bajiquan. In the boxing proverb, "moving like a stretch bow, like thunder" is a visual statement for the process of Bajiquan. "Moving like a bow" is the process of accumulating strength, the old man explained the technical essentials to Lin Mingyang while demonstrating, the body is like a stretched bow, full of strength, and then the energy stored in the body is transmitted to the limbs and released.
And "Hair is like thunder" is a description of the characteristics of the moment when Bajiquan is released. After accumulating strength, Old Man Lin suddenly exerted his strength, and his fist was struck out at a speed that was caught off guard by the naked eye with a devastating momentum. When the sandbag is hit, it does not fly upside down in a straight line, but violently shakes in mid-air. The power of Bajiquan radiates in all directions with the human body as the center, and it has a powerful presence in any direction, just like a bomb exploding in the air, and the power can be seen.
Lin Mingyang looked at the punch swung by the old man in a daze, thinking to himself how he couldn't hit such an effect. was thinking about when he would be able to reach this realm, and the old man's next words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, so that he was not depressed.
"Strength is the soul of boxing, and only by practicing strength well can we lay a solid foundation for future boxing practice. In any case, the overall roundness force can be emitted at any time in order to exert great power in actual combat. Ten years of hard practice in Bajiquan can be regarded as a small success, if you want to hit the punch I just had, without thirty years of hard work, don't even think about it! ”
Ignoring Lin Mingyang's drooping head, Lin Aoquan went on to demonstrate the technical essentials of stomping and blowing qi, the "stomping" of Bajiquan, also known as "stomping", is the main factor that constitutes the unique footwork of Bajiquan, and is also an important part of Bajiquan's strength. There are different forms of stomping in situ, stepping up, stepping backwards, stomping with both feet, stomping with one foot, stomping on one foot, stomping and so on.
And blowing qi is a unique method of using qi in Bajiquan. The unique breathing method that Lin Mingyang learned is a condensed version extracted from the blowing essentials of Bajiquan. The complete technique of blowing qi can not only increase strength and strengthen muscles and bones, but also the most important role is to stabilize the next plate. By blowing the qi, it promotes the downward penetration of the internal qi, that is, the qi of the dantian is injected into the feet through the legs, and is emitted downward from the Yongquan acupoint, so that the lower plate is stable. The so-called "calm air is stable, air floating is floating" is this truth. In the application, when the opponent tries to fall down himself, and the moment he exerts force, he can blow his breath and sink, and it is difficult for the other party to fall, which is what people call "jack falling" kung fu.
In the next few days, Lin Mingyang's life can be described as dire and dire. I practiced Qi with Lin Aoquan early every day, and after breakfast, I began to practice my steps, and finally practiced boxing. can't wear boxing gloves, Lin Mingyang wraps a layer of gauze around his fists to play a simple protective role.
Under the strict supervision of the old man, the gauze on Lin Mingyang's hands wore out quickly, and he had to change it almost every two days, of course, the effect of such high-intensity training was also obvious. For Lin Mingyang's progress, Lin Aoquan has never had any face-to-face praise. As long as Lin Mingyang showed a little smugness, he would be hit mercilessly by the old man.
Lin Mingyang rarely complained about this, the purpose of his hard training was not only to practice real kung fu, but also to have some plans for the future. In Hollywood, it is impossible for him to perform the role of flying eaves and walls in traditional Chinese martial arts movies, those martial arts routines do not mean much to him, but this kind of practical combat surname training can make him competent for some tough action roles, although he has a jealous handsome face, but Lin Mingyang does not want to be an idol star for the rest of his life.
In the whole day of training, the hour after lunch has become Lin Mingyang's most leisurely time. Usually he likes to lie on the lawn in the shade of a tree, look at the clouds in the sky, and then get used to some strange ideas popping up in his head. Finally, one day, he had a strange dream under the tree.
A young girl and a handsome and charming man sit on the grass in the sun and talk about love. The man is a vampire, but they have fallen in love, and he is confiding in his lover to suppress the hope of hunting her, telling her how difficult it is for him.
The breeze blew through the treetops, and the rustling sound ended Lin Mingyang's strange dream. He opened his sleepy eyes, sat up, and looked around. The sky was still blue, there were no girls in the meadows, and there were no handsome vampires. But that dream gave Lin Mingyang a very familiar feeling, as if he had seen this scene somewhere.
There was confusion in his heart, Lin Mingyang was reprimanded by the old man for being distracted when he practiced boxing in the afternoon, and he silently recited the mantra of exerting force unintentionally, but he was still thinking about that thing in his heart. Unintentionally threw a punch, and the sandbag was knocked away and swung back, he was only slightly stunned before he was hit by the oncoming sandbag and sat on the grass.
The old man lying on the rocking chair on the side was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, what did he scold Lin Mingyang didn't pay much attention to, and even his cheeks were hit by a sandbag, he didn't care. After sitting stunned on the ground for a while, and after getting up, Lin Mingyang seemed to be a different person, and finally began to concentrate on practicing boxing. Old Man Lin, who saw this scene in his eyes, was a little depressed in his heart, and was hit by a sandbag, which is still "enlightening"?
I can't talk about it, but at the moment when he fell just now, Lin Mingyang suddenly figured out the whole thing. The scene where the girl in her dream goes on a date with a vampire is exactly what appears in a chapter of a magical pure love novel that sells all over the world.
Lin Mingyang was excited about his discovery, and as a European and American pop lover before the time, he was extremely familiar with this novel. In the eyes of many people, "Twilight" may just be a love story of a high school student, and the background of supernatural forces makes the whole story feel heartfelt.
But what Lin Mingyang admires more is the profound skills shown in the novel, under the rendering of Wang Yang's unbridled imagination, the "Romeo and Juliet"-style life and death parting, "Pride and Prejudice"-style elegance and wit, "Wuthering Heights"-style entanglement and conflict are presented in front of the reader in a very easy way, and the lingering tragic color hidden under the veil of love has the simplicity and desolation of ancient Greek drama, all of which have made the legend of "Twilight".
Because of his strong love, Lin Mingyang had the urge to let this novel come out in advance. Although this thought was just a small spark, it led to a prairie fire in Lin Mingyang's heart. "Twilight" is set in a remote and middle-aged, rainy town, and Napani is also far from the city, surrounded by endless forests that give people endless room for imagination. Lin Mingyang is here to trigger inspiration, and no one will doubt it.
That night, he couldn't wait to turn on his computer and typed the first chapter of "Twilight" in the document. Although it is "plagiarizing" the memory in the brain, while retaining the delicate and elegant nature of the original book, Lin Mingyang grasped the story of vampires and werewolves, and added some classic magical elements in similar movies to the novel.
In the handling of every detail, Lin Mingyang seemed cautious, for fear of destroying the beauty of the original work. He knew that this novel would become a god-level masterpiece that would lead the global magical trend after "Harry Potter", and countless boys and girls were crazy obsessed with it. With this novel alone, Lin Mingyang will be able to make enough capital for his future life, not to mention that there is a movie version waiting for him behind the novel.
The original novel will not appear until 2005, and the original author's inspiration for creation will not be until a year later. He had to write the first draft of the first part of the novel before returning to the United States, and after the release of "Youth Musical", he could start looking for a way to publish the novel.
