Chapter 180: Tempering True Skills

After eating something casually, Bai Ze took Wei Tianzi all the way to the place where he usually practiced. Although it was already mid to late October, and the weather was starting to get cooler, the sun was still very bright at four or five o'clock, shining through the gaps between the pine branches, and the warmth was intoxicating.

However, at this time, there were not many people on the small lonely mountain, and the only few were still gathered in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, chatting and playing chess, all of which were some retired old people nearby.

"You usually practice here? What a nice place! Looking far away, quiet and cool, I have been in school for so long and I actually know that there is such a place on Xiaogu Mountain. ”

Wei Tianzi followed behind Bai Ze and came in from the outer forest, and immediately felt that his eyes were bright, and a flat open land appeared.

"I see that you are in good health, and the flexibility of your hands, feet and limbs is stronger than that of ordinary people, so you must often go to the gym to do yoga exercises, so your qi and blood run quite smoothly. Although I have never practiced yoga, I also know that there is an asana in the standing posture of yoga, which is called 'Shushi', which is specially designed to exercise the balance of the human body. ”

Bai Ze saw that Wei Tianzi was already standing in front of him, so he signaled.

Although "yoga" is also an ancient Indian martial art, it has been able to spread around the world in recent years, but it has always been under the banner of fitness and beauty. Of course, these foreign yoga are only superficial things, and the real yoga is still only circulating in a small area within Buddhism, and outsiders are rarely able to contact it. is like the old Duoga Lama that Bai Ze met in Chengdu at the beginning, and he practiced the most authentic Esoteric Yoga.

This kind of secret technique, if ordinary people want to practice, even if they get a full set of movements, if they don't have the "guru" of Esoteric Buddhism to bless the empowerment, they will definitely not be able to practice it in the end. This thing is like the "three-body pose" of Xingyi Boxing, although the action is simple and direct, but if there is no real master on the side to guide and correct the whole process, you will never want to stand up for a lifetime, and any effort is in vain.

Wei Tianzi is twenty-four or five years old this year, but she is healthy, and the flexibility of her muscles and bones is far better than that of her peers. So there is no need to ask more questions at all, just let her practice.

"It's easy!" Wei Tianzi stood on one leg at the moment, his right foot was lifted all the way up along the ankle of his left leg, gently pressing against the root of his thigh, and at the same time, his arms were stretched in a zigzag shape, slowly closing upwards on the top of his head, his lower abdomen was tight, his spine was straight, and his chest suddenly bulged with a shocking beautiful curve.

Bai Ze looked at it, didn't speak, only circled back and forth twice, and after three or four minutes, he signaled that Wei Tianzi could stop, and then he staggered his feet, and his knees slightly moved forward, one hand stretched forward, and the other hand was gently attached to his waist, looking like a guest was coming and wanted to reach out and shake hands with someone.

"If you look carefully at my shelf, the key is in the elbow and back of the spine, as well as the two knees." Wei Tianzi's expression was solemn, and he quickly widened his eyes and observed carefully.

After waiting for a few minutes, Bai Ze still stood still, and was about to ask, but Bai Ze broke up with one hand, turned his head and asked: "Do you see clearly, you will stand on a pile in the future, at least three months, every morning and evening." ”

"Three months? Just stand on the stake...... ”

"Yes!"

"Does it look similar to the hybrid pile I stood on when I was a kid, what good can it be?" Wei Tianzi learned from Bai Ze to stand in place according to the gourd painting scoop, but his eyes were full of doubts.

To practice kung fu, you have to stand on the pile, Wei Tianzi doesn't know this truth. However, at her current age, she has missed the best time to practice martial arts, and she wants to become "able to fight" in a short period of time just by standing on the pile, but I'm afraid it's not easy.

"The tree posture in yoga is dedicated to exercising the balance of the human body, improving the strength of the cerebellum and leg muscles, through this action, I can see that the coordination of your limbs is very good, that is to say, you are very flexible, which is very beneficial to the loose hand movements in the practice of martial arts in the future. As for strength training, if you grow a lot of tendon flesh, you probably won't want to, so the best way is to stand on the pile. ”

"This skill I taught you is a whole body of energy, as long as you can follow my requirements, persevere in standing, sooner or later one day you will be able to move and integrate the strength of the whole body. To put it bluntly, this is a technique in martial arts that specializes in practicing force, so that if you learn a few hands to grab in the future, it will be very practical. ”

"You don't have any foundation on your body, when you first stand, you don't have to put your center of gravity so low, and don't move your knees outward in a figure-eight shape, not bend your knees, but go out flat, and the amplitude should be smaller, don't exceed your toes."

Bai Ze stood in front of him, constantly demonstrating the same movement posture like Wei Tianzi, "Indian yoga is a broad and profound martial art, if practiced well, it can maintain longevity and develop the deepest potential of the human body, but what you practiced before is just the simplest version of yoga, which lacks the breathing method corresponding to each movement, which is equivalent to what we say, 'practicing boxing without practice, until the old is empty', no matter how good the practice is, it can only play some basic exercise role." What you have to do now is to relax as much as possible, let your body move by instinct, and gradually feel the most subtle changes in it, just like a doctor's dissection, to maximize familiarity with your body. ”

"This ...... How to move? I'm so tired, no, I can't stand? ”

Beginning to see Bai Ze's posture so simple, Wei Tianzi was still a little hesitant in his heart, but he didn't think that after standing for just a few minutes, his knees and back began to be a little sore, and after a while, listening to Bai Ze's words in his ears, his two calves began to tremble, his arms sank, and his shoulders were sore. Then there was a burst of fever all over the body, and there was a fine sweat on the door of the head.

Although she has been practicing yoga fitness, she can do many difficult movements that almost violate human physiology, and her physical strength is much better than that of ordinary girls, but the movements of yoga are very different from the standing piles in martial arts.

The most significant difference is that the pile work is practiced as a "strength", and many subtleties can only be understood but not spoken. When the kung fu arrives, if you understand, you understand, if you don't get it, you won't understand what you say. Unlike yoga, as long as the general movements are in place, it will definitely produce corresponding effects.

Wei Tianzi knew that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to gasp, stood up, and rubbed his sore back, "Bai Ze, how am I standing?" It's easy to watch, why is it so laborious? ”

"You still have to work hard, the real big gun pile is to put a white pole more than a foot long with one hand to the flat end, and the minimum requirement is to stand for half an hour." Bai Ze shook his head: "Like the way you stood just now, there are no roots under your feet, no strength in your hands, after a long time, you don't have a long time, you will be trained to have a problem first, what lumbar muscle strain, ligament strain, and bone joint dislocation will not be less." Standing pile, standing pile, it is not that you want to stand yourself as a wooden pile, the important thing is a movable type, you have to stand on the pile, this is right. ”

"It's the first time I've heard of it, and it's not the same as what my grandfather said?" Wei Tianzi obviously didn't understand the reasoning.

"When you traveled, did you see that kind of hundred-year-old tree in the mountains?" When Bai Ze spoke, he lost his smile: "The stake is the tree, you can't see the tree growing, it's because it grows slowly." Standing pile, to put it bluntly, is actually the sages in the long-term observation of nature, understanding nature in the realization of a truth, as if life lies in motion, there is no absolutely static thing in this world, so even if you are standing on the pile, your body is still constantly moving, but this movement is just an instinct of yours, what you have to do is to control this 'movement' by standing on the pile, let him move with your heart. ”

"If a tree is cut down and made into a stump and buried underneath, even if it is deep, without roots, it is still a dead tree, and if you can't stand on a stump, you are a dead tree. But on the other hand, if you want to stand on the pile, you are standing like a tree, and from the outside you are standing motionless, but the ligaments and muscles on your body are moving, and they are moving in unison. ”

"Seems to make some sense!!" Wei Tianzi never thought that it was just a simple action in martial arts, and there would be so much truth and exquisiteness in it.

"Come, so that you can see a little more clearly."

Bai Ze said, suddenly took off the coat on his body, exposed a streamlined and well-proportioned muscle with his bare shoulders, and then pulled up his two trouser legs high, exposing his calves and stepping on the ground with his bare feet, and then stood on an identical shelf, "When standing on the pile, the action must be in place, your feet are the roots of the tree, the first point is' The force starts from the ground', the ten toes of the feet pick the ground, and the force together will naturally affect the muscles and bones of the calf, and the knee will be pushed forward, and the thigh will be tightened immediately, which is like the brake of a bicycle, as soon as you pinch the brake, the force will be transmitted up, and you don't need to do the corresponding action at all. Then levator anus, the lower abdomen is closed, the lower abdomen is closed as soon as the chest is contained, and the spine is then straightened, which is the part of the stump that is on the hand. ”

"In this way, after standing for a few minutes, you will feel tired, and you can't help but tremble, sweat, and tremble, but the most taboo at this time is to relax, and the long kung fu training will only start now."

"Just when you feel tired, when you are tired and can't help it, you start moving. When moving, start with the toes and grasp the ground with the ten toes, so that once it is tight and loose, the calves and thighs will tremble slightly, and you can change the center of gravity and relieve fatigue by grasping the opportunity. Otherwise, after standing on the pile for a long time, the center of gravity will always fall in one place, which will cause irreparable damage to the body. This is also why people who practice kung fu must find someone who understands the truth. ”

Bai Ze said, Wei Tianzi watched, and sure enough, he saw that Bai Ze's body began to tremble slightly from under his feet, but this tremor was not the whole person moving, but when he demonstrated, the muscles of the calves under his feet and the Achilles tendon were moving together, the speed was slightly faster, and the skin and flesh were undulating, as if a breeze was blowing through the silent water, rippling layer by layer.

She never thought that the muscles on her body would be flexible to such an extent, and Wei Tianzi's eyes suddenly widened.

"Take a good look at the changes in my muscles, okay, you can stand for me now and take a look." Bai Ze continued to demonstrate to Wei Tianzi, and showed the process of standing on the pile as clearly as possible through the shaking of the muscles and bones on his body.

After a few times, Wei Tianzi was also eager to try and followed to study.

"You can divide the toes as much as you want, and when you hook, try to tighten the tendons in the heel to move the muscles, then the calves, knees, and thighs, and finally transmit this force to the lower back. Move your muscles and skin first, stay still for the time being, and use your mind to direct them, gently, slowly, and without rushing. ”

The more Wei Tianzi listened, the more confused she became, and she didn't understand what the truth was, and in the end, Suo no longer thought about it, she would do whatever Bai Ze said.

It's just that she hasn't practiced kung fu in the first place, and she couldn't do everything Bai Ze asked for at first, but Bai Ze stood next to her, a pair of eyes, shining wildly, and every time Wei Tianzi didn't have a movement in place, he stretched out his hand and pointed it.

Bai Ze's fingers were as hard as iron, and the place he hit was like a red-hot steel needle piercing back and forth, and the place he pointed was very ingenious, and when he knocked it down, the muscles of the corresponding part of Wei Tianzi suddenly jumped, pulling the big tendons and pulling it back, and the strength of the whole body immediately went on the right track.

"You just shake slowly, from the feet up gradually, from the ligaments to the muscles, one by one, slowly, but don't interrupt it, with a continuous surname. The amplitude of the shaking can follow your own feelings, the smaller the vibration, the better, the frequency from slow to fast, and finally the muscles and muscles of the whole body can shake together and become one, so that your strength and ligaments can be strengthened as quickly as possible. The effect is at least comparable to three years of hard training for ordinary people. ”

Bai Ze set an example, and when he taught, he was very patient, but he was also quite strict. I didn't look at Wei Tianzi's face at all.

"Oh......." Wei Tianzi listened very carefully, and after a period of time, after Bai Ze's great correction, he slowly felt something, stood motionless, carefully felt his muscles, and slowly went from his feet to his waist according to Bai Ze's instructions. At this time, when I stood up again, I was really not as tired as before.

But after ten minutes, Wei Tianzi began to feel a little nauseous, as if he was pressing a big stone on his chest, Venus was popping up in front of him, and his ears were buzzing.

"Do you feel that your heart is a little blocked, your head is heavy, and you can't control your balance?" Bai Ze saw everything in his eyes, and immediately expressed the feeling in Wei Tianzi's heart.

Wei Tianzi nodded hurriedly, and before he knew it, his eyes were already full of tears. She was born in a noble family, how could she have suffered this kind of hardship since she was a child, if it weren't for the fact that her surname was still quite resolute, and she was unwilling to show a weak surname in front of Bai Ze, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on to it now.

"Okay, you remember this feeling yourself, that's your limit. The stump must be measured, and if the kung fu is not enough, it cannot be practiced hard, otherwise it will hurt the blood and internal organs. You can have a posture or anything now, it's almost like a beginner, and the strength of your feet can't go over your waist, and after a long time, this feeling will become lighter and lighter until it disappears. ”

"In the future, you can practice slowly by yourself, just such a shelf, you have to practice over time, and you can't relax at all. Find a place with good air circulation every morning and evening when the sun rises and sets, and after three months, your body will be ten times stronger than it is now. ”

What Bai Ze taught Wei Tianzi was not an ordinary pile skill, but a simplified version of the sword frame he had from his "Dinghai Needle", which was somewhat similar to the secret big gun pile in the [***] big gun, and it was the essence of the real inner pile skill.

If you can practice regularly, you can naturally strengthen your muscles and bones, regulate your qi and blood, and increase your strength.

And the reason why Bai Ze didn't teach Wei Tianzi the real internal boxing skills, firstly, because he had a word with the old man Wei, and only taught the ability to defend himself and save his life, and the time was not enough, so he could only succeed quickly, and secondly, Wei Tianzi himself could not really put his heart into practicing boxing, and besides, he was old, and some things could not be practiced and taught.

But Bai Ze was not perfunctory, the pile method is the real inner pile method, and it is not a secret to put it outside, and he spoke thoroughly, and what should be said is clear. Whether you can practice kung fu from it depends on Wei Tianzi's own, and others can't force it.

"Ah, that's it? And what about the kung fu you promised to teach me? Wei Tianzi was sweaty, and he was a little reluctant.

"This is real kung fu, what do you think is more precious than this?" Bai Ze smiled immediately when asked.

"Isn't there anything else to grab, let go? Just teach me to stand on the pile, how can I defend myself? ”

"Haha, haha, you really don't know the blessing in the blessing, grabbing, scattering and the like, the more mysterious you say, the more rotten the street thing. The real kung fu is only on yourself, standing on the pile to practice the strength, just a kick, a straight punch can knock people away. Without this as a foundation, any moves you practice are all showy, and they look good, but they can't actually be played. What do you think kung fu is, it is kung fu after a thousand tempers, and if you practice the basic things, you can learn anything with half the effort. Have you ever seen your grandfather practice swordsmanship and play wildly? ”

"It seems to be the same thing." Wei Tianzi turned his head and thought about it: "When my grandfather practiced swords in the morning and evening, he looked slow, no different from the old man who played Tai Chi in the park. ”
