Chapter Ninety-Eight: It's a Bit Uncomfortable with College Life
The weather in northern Hebei is in mid to late September, and the golden autumn is looking at again, but the weather is still hot. Especially in the city, the forests made of steel and concrete have formed a small environment in the local area, and the temperature is at least six or seven degrees higher than that of the suburban villages. When the sun rises, the whole city begins to heat up gradually, and even the asphalt road surface is sunburned by noon.
Finally, at night, the sun set, but the temperature still did not drop, and the ground began to heat up on a large scale. The whole city is like being put on a steamer, plus the air pressure is low, the humidity is high, and people who are a little worse will feel hard to gasp, so they can only hide in their rooms and turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day to cool down.
And the situation will gradually improve after midnight, at two or three o'clock, the heat will dissipate and the cool breeze will blow. But in a few hours, the sky should be bright again, the same scorching sun and murderous heat.
The next day, it was at this time that Bai Ze got up to wash. After a full hundred days of hard work, he has become accustomed to his current way of life, practicing qi every night, and then meditating and pranayama, practicing the "three-step sleeping method" in the Sword Sutra in the seemingly sleepless rather than sleeping, whenever the light outside just shines, he will naturally wake up from his concentration.
If you have a regular schedule and rest, you don't need any external reminders at all.
It will be around four o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour and a half before the sun rises, so the heat outside has not yet come up, and the morning breeze is refreshing, which is the best time of the day to exercise. The north of Hebei University is the living area, many teachers and professors who teach in the school live there, the facilities are perfect, the greening is good, and the side is the famous Beifeng Park in Gancheng, from Bai Ze's graduate student dormitory building all the way over, both sides of the road are full of old trees of some years, and the branches are luxuriant.
It's just that although it's early now, the old people who retire from the school are all models of going to bed early and getting up early, and the more quiet the environment, the more people gather for morning exercises. Practicing Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, jogging, walking, coming out to hang their throats, everyone's face is relaxed and soothing.
The predecessor of Jibei University was originally a business university funded by French missionaries, and then changed the name of the school several times, moved several times, and now this campus is also rebuilt after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the whole campus basically has no buildings and monuments of the previous year.
However, in the Beifeng Park next to the campus, there is a well-known "Lotus Pond Academy" in the local area, which can be regarded as a historical site. It's just that it is said to be a academy, but in fact, this place has been renovated several times, and it has long lost the appearance of the academy in ancient times. Now there are only a few octagonal pavilions that have been mentioned with the poems of their predecessors, and they are still standing alone on the small lonely mountain.
And this small lonely mountain, to put it bluntly, is actually a large mound of 100 meters high, which is said to have been piled up by digging the moat when Gancheng was first built. Fortunately, the years are long enough, there are a lot of ancient trees and pines and cypresses growing on the mountain, go up the mountain, the path is far away, in today's urbanization is serious, be in it, listen to the birdsong, sit and watch the clouds rise, but it is quite a taste of quietness in the middle of the noise.
"It's a good place."
Where there are many trees, the air is fresh, and Bai Ze obviously prefers the environment here to the ornamental trees that were transplanted later in the school.
The elderly who exercise in the morning have a fixed place, and few people climb the mountain to exercise. In the past, Taoist priests always had to stay away from the red dust and go deep into the mountains, although there was a meaning of cutting off vulgar thoughts, but in addition, the so-called heaven and earth aura actually refers to this kind of environment that has not been polluted by man.
In the deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible, there is naturally no destruction.
In the same way, people who practice boxing breathe and breathe, stand on the pile to box, and their favorite place is actually such a place, one is secluded, no one disturbs, you can concentrate on practicing, and the other is that the air in the mountains and forests is fresh, which is also very helpful to refresh your mind and make people better grasp some of the conditions of the body.
More responsive than usual.
Breathing all the way, he ran up Xiaogu Mountain along the stone road around the mountain, and found a place with a wide field of vision, Bai Ze began to open the shelf and face the east to stand on the stake to practice qi.
Blowing and breathing, Bai Ze exhaled with his mouth, inhaled with his nose, spit out the old and accepted the new, after three or two strokes, all the muscles in his body relaxed, and then his torso undulated, his legs apart, his hands hugged in front of his chest, the breath on his body suddenly became heavy and staggering, his feet stood on the ground, his knees were on top of his back, and his lower body seemed to have become much thicker. It's full of power.
At first glance, it looks like a big bear in the mountains and forests, fat, fat, and upright.
Immediately, his breathing gradually became rhythmic, and every breath was long inhaled into the abdomen, like a whale swallowing a cow's drink, his chest and abdomen swelled to the neck, and the entire neck was twice as thick, and then he exhaled out in one breath, but it was like a spring silkworm spinning silk, wisps, endlessly. A breath of turbid air compresses the chest and abdomen, slowly exhales out, and the sound changes, making sounds such as blowing, exhaling, sighing, heh, shhh
It is the "Six Methods of Exhalation" in the Taoist method of practicing qi.
The ancestor of the Bai family is said to have been a commander of the forbidden army in the capital during the Song Dynasty, so he was able to learn from the iron arm Zhou Dong in his later years to create this road of "iron arm poke feet" and pass it down. When it came to Bai Ze's grandfather Bai Changsheng's generation, the country was ruined, and the old man did not hesitate to turn his face with his family and participate in the Anti-Japanese War.
Fighting in battle formations, ten swings and ten decisions, this kung fu should have been born out of the battlefield.
But it's a pity that in the past few hundred years, many essential contents have been lost. There are only a few of the five-step and thirteen-gun shelf tricks left, and the missing part is the most critical "Qi Cultivation Method" in this kung fu. Originally, it was a kung fu that could be practiced to the highest level of internal and external cultivation, but it was reduced to a foreign boxing method that was rigid and easy to break.
Although the boxing method is violent, the power is still undiminished, but after years of fighting, killing 10,000 enemies, and self-inflicted 8,000, people who practice this kung fu will inevitably leave many secret wounds on their bodies.
In the past, as far as the Shanxi Bai family is concerned, very few people can live to be 70 years old.
Fortunately, he participated in the revolution early, and the strange people in the army, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the old man Bai came into contact with many masters, including a comrade-in-arms surnamed Huang, who is said to be the family of the strange man Shen Acupuncture Huang who was famous on the beach back then, and is proficient in acupuncture and moxibustion. I tried my best to poke my feet with an iron arm all the way to the legs, and changed him to a set of "ancient methods of five poultry plays" that were secretly passed down by doctors.
And supplemented by this, in that war-torn era, he lived and died several times and survived. And he has lived for more than 80 years, and his body is still very strong.
However, then again, in the end, the ancient method of five poultry opera is just a traditional Chinese medicine guided health qigong, ordinary people can prolong life when they practice, that is because ordinary people have less activity and less consumption, compared to practicing boxing, refining and refining qi spares no effort, every time you boil, I can't wait to squeeze out the last trace of potential in the body, this kind of health maintenance can play a limited role, it is not as good as the original breathing qi training method to match.
Old Man Bai has been able to live until now, firstly, because he has practiced five poultry operas diligently, and secondly, thanks to his familiarity with the surname of medicine, and he takes medicinal food and nourishment for his body every day after demobilization. If you change someone else, it's the same death.
And Bai Ze's current starting point is much higher than that of the old man, because he has already obtained all the missing parts of the family heirloom iron arm poke foot in Mudao people, in addition to the "Tiger Crossing the Post" boxing frame that has been practiced from childhood to adulthood, there are also the other four kinds of deer, bear, ape, and bird pile methods, all of which have great benefits for health and qi training.
Bai Ze used to practice qi and breathing, all at two o'clock in the meridian every day, one hour at a time, but this time it was different, early in the morning he stood on a "old bear hugging a tree" shelf, his body was light, his mind was heavy, and his hands were hugging him, as if there was a big tree in front of him. Between breathing and breathing, there is one internal qi, six exhalations, and the Dan qi in the body rises and falls, turning the front chest and back, and suddenly the whole body is warm, as if a handful of sunshine in the winter shines into his heart, and a warm and sunny feeling gradually spreads to all parts of the body, and then there is a burst of pleasure that is transparent to the whole body.
"It's so comfortable......!"
The ancient Taoist priests practiced qi, there are generally two ways to increase kung fu, one is to be quiet to self-cultivation, breathe and breathe, and collect the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth at two o'clock in the meridian, and the other is to move to maintain health, the bear is stretched by the bird, the dedication is soft, the bear shape is clumsy and heavy, and the bird shape is smart and brisk, a static and a movement, and it is also a yin and yang Bai Ze is now walking the road as if it is, meditating and practicing qi at night, standing on the pile during the day, the two feelings are completely different, but they complement each other in effect, and they are integrated into one, and take into account the inside and outside of the body, together with the five organs, muscles and bones, and fur, all bloodlines can be refined.
Go hand in hand.
Since getting these long-lost piles in the hands of the Mu Dao people, this is the first time Bai Ze has seriously practiced the experience, the same wisp of Dan Qi runs the same route in the body, but when the Taoist Qi is practiced, it is a wisp of cool air, compared to the current Yang and heat that makes Bai Ze feel more comfortable.
This is also the difference between the traditional Taoist practice of qi and the martial arts fist pile gong.
Taoist practice qi, directly from the five organs, erection of the machine, spit out the old and absorb the new, but the boxing pile gong must be combined with special boxing practice, in order to produce the greatest effect and benefits, is to give people long kung fu, increase physical strength.
The two are one inside and one outside, and together they are a big cycle.
Unconsciously, the first ray of sunlight in the east suddenly shot out of the horizon, Bai Ze's eyes were introverted, his body did not move, leaving only a thin gap between his eyes, just at this moment, he suddenly inhaled back, and a long breath of "hiss" suddenly sounded in the air, just like in the grass, the dragon snake inhaled.
This breath lasted for two or three minutes. Then, Bai Ze's eyes were closed, his hands were superimposed on his lower abdomen, slowly kneaded, and his mouth was like liquid, turning his tongue like a red dragon stirring the sea, and then divided into nine mouths, which he swallowed into his abdomen.
Every time he fell, his lower abdomen trembled, like a big stone falling from a very high place into a deep well, and the large intestine and small intestine bulged and moved, loud like thunder, rumbling.
The first ray of sunshine when the heaven and earth first opened, also known as the purple qi from the east, occupies a very key position in the Taoist practice of qi.
This is not pseudoscience, nor is it superstition. It's the experience that has been summed up from generation to generation, and it is something that really exists. 3361 "Yes, in the end, it is a matching breathing method, and it is a matter of course to practice it." Bai Ze then closed his mouth and knocked his teeth thirty-six times, combed his hair in the bath, and then slowly exhaled and put away the shelf, "No wonder the Mudao people have always said that the iron arm poke foot was originally the kung fu of both internal and external cultivation, and now that these pile skills are completed, I will practice boxing in the future, I can start from here, those inner boxing of the old Taoist sect are still swordsmanship to put it bluntly, although the truth is figured out, but it is better to practice boxing alone than to practice it with my poke foot." In this way, it is more beneficial to form my own boxing style. ”
Bai Ze was suddenly a little happy, and thought about it: This frame is practicing qi and health preservation, long kung fu, and my boxing skills have already entered, so what is the current level of actual combat, even I don't have a number, and I will have to fight with people in the future, if it is heavy, it is light, and it will inevitably be a little troublesome.
Why don't you try ...... right here?
As soon as his mind moved, he immediately found a big tree, and was about to box, when his ears moved, but he saw that people began to come up the mountain to run and exercise. Bai Ze thought about it, looked up and looked up, and found that on the top of this small lonely mountain, there was originally the side of the former site of the Lotus Pond Academy, and there was a clearing surrounded by pines and cypresses.
There was originally a pavilion there, but because of disrepair, it was demolished last year, and it has not yet begun to be rebuilt, there are a lot of piles on the ground, wood, cement, a large mess, and the stone road around the mountain of Xiaogushan does not lead there, I want to clean it up, it should be a good place.
At that moment, Bai Ze immediately shifted his position, waded through a field of weeds and rocks, and drilled inside, and sure enough, he saw that there was a clearing in the middle of more than a dozen pines and cypresses, although it was not big, but it was not small, and the ground was very solid.
Seeing a two-meter-high stone on the opposite side, Bai Ze quickly calmed down in his heart, took a deep breath, and in a blink of an eye, he concentrated all the strength of his whole body again, stepped forward and stood steadily, and then simply kicked it straight, "bang", the air burst, as if an artillery was out of the chamber, one kick first pointed and then pressed, and kicked on the stone head-on.
There was a sudden crackling sound, first a splash of gravel, and then a boom, and the big stone, which weighed more than a ton, was kicked to the ground by him, boom, and rolled out three or four steps away, before it hit a tree trunk behind it and stopped.
But Bai Ze's face still did not change, and he didn't move at all, but just retracted his foot, and jumped up violently in a blink of an eye, volleyed a somersault, pinched both hands into eagle claws, and flew fifteen or sixteen steps to the side in the same place, and his hands were linked in mid-air, one claw and one claw, and he grabbed seven or eight times in a row on an old cypress tree in the farthest place, and each time he grabbed it, he took someone up, grabbed it seven or eight times, and his body flew, and the person was already standing on a thick branch of the tree.
Looking back again, it was more than ten meters high from the ground, and every more than a meter of distance, a large piece of bark was scratched raw, revealing scratches more than an inch deep inside.
This kick and claw are all kung fu that Bai Ze has practiced since he was a child, and he doesn't need to be a gesture at all when he uses it.
"Well, the internal strength has entered the body, and the yin and yang have been separated, but it is still too rigid, the stone is broken at the touch, the paw prints on the tree are not neat, and the edges of the finger holes are burrs. The heat of soft and yin energy is obviously still insufficient, and all the strength cannot be contained together, and a lot of waste is wasted. It's like the Mudao man's drill that day, slapping his palm in the air, and the force penetrated into the deep water, only to burst out violently from it like a bomb, so it was ......right. ”
After checking it twice and seeing the marks on the stone and the trunk, Bai Ze was obviously not very satisfied with his performance, but the following kung fu, if he wanted to practice to a tepid realm like the old way, it was not something that could be practiced overnight, let alone in a hurry. That would require him to practice hard and non-stop in the future.
Look at it again, it was almost six o'clock at this time, and the people everywhere were becoming more and more frequent, so Bai Ze also extinguished the idea of continuing to practice, and went down the mountain according to the original path. Anyway, on the first day of morning exercise, he also had the idea of finding a good place, and the little lonely mountain was exactly what he wanted, and he wanted to practice kung fu, so he would come here in the future.
On the side of the gate near the park and North Hebei University, a breakfast stall was set up, fried dough sticks and soy milk, xiaolongbao, Bai Ze all came here, asked for a few steamed buns casually, and ate them clean in three bites, although he still felt not too full, and wanted to ask for a few more cages, but even so, some people around him looked at him a little strangely.
Suddenly there was a wry smile in his heart, he was young and long, he had eaten a lot, plus the practice shook the qi and blood, and the consumption was also large, so naturally eating was not quite different from ordinary people.
"Forget it, let's go back!"
Bai Ze didn't want to eat under the eyes of others looking at monsters, so he paid for the bill, but he made the boss of the breakfast shop very happy, and asked him to come back next time.
As soon as he turned around, he didn't take two steps, the school gate was in sight, and suddenly he heard a shout from the opposite campus: "It's him, it was this kid who slapped our martial arts club in the face last night!" Come on, everyone, I've found him....... ”
As he spoke, there was a hula and footsteps, and more than a dozen or twenty people poured out from the gate of the campus, running in front of Bai Ze one by one, and naturally surrounded him in the middle.
Bai Ze's face sank, he stood still, and he didn't see any panic, he just swept his eyes, and sure enough, he found that there were many of these people, who were taken by Li Weijian to stand on the "Wuji Pile" on the field last night.
"What are you going to do? Yesterday's affair is over, and I don't want to get into trouble anymore. ”
"Boy, you're new, you're too rampant. Who do you think you are? You say it's over? Our president is still lying in the hospital, so if you want to be interested, you will obediently compensate for the medical expenses and mental damages. Even if you can fight again, one against ten, we have twenty-eight people here, how many can you defeat? ”
A student at the head of the group, not short, with bulging muscles on his body, raised his vest, seemed to be a head, while talking in his mouth, his two eyes were already erected, and a pair of fists were clenched tightly.
Kitazawa frowned: "I've already left my hand, that little skin injury, it won't take three days to get better, what are you going to do in the hospital?" In addition, even if you want compensation, you should go back to your president, and I want to see if he has the face! ”
Yesterday's incident in the field was actually a confused account, and the cause was all on Xiangxiang, and Li Weijian didn't distinguish between good and bad, he wanted to behave in front of a different surname, and use himself to give the new student Liwei and advertise, which itself also violated Bai Ze's taboo. However, students of this age are still relatively simple, and the things they do may not have too much malice, so Bai Ze is not very concerned about himself, and only punishes them slightly.
According to his thoughts, the fault of this matter is not his own in the first place, and the end is the end. Unexpectedly, after only one night, these members of the martial arts club came to the door in a gang, and he couldn't help but feel tired in his heart.
"Moreover, it is not my fault for this matter, so I will not give him any compensation at all."
Bai Ze glanced at the student in front of him, and then added a faint sentence.
Then, apart from the crowd, it's time to walk around the campus.
"Malegobi's (homonym, understand it yourself), hit someone, you reasoned. I'll see how you go, brothers, if you can't negotiate, let's avenge the president! ”
The student in front, raised his arms and Ichigo, and suddenly the crowd was excited, and the first few big ones, and in a row, with a straight chest, blocked the way, these people are obviously regular exercisers, young and vigorous, the muscles in the body are tired, and the strength is great.
There was a guy who stretched out his hand and pushed Bai Ze violently, but Bai Ze was as steady as a mountain and stood still, this guy pushed it up, only to feel like he was pushing on a wall, and before Bai Ze could move under his feet, there was already a clicking sound on his wrist, and he grinned in pain.
The surrounding pedestrians retreated one after another when they saw this. It's not uncommon for college students to fight here, but it's rare for more than two dozen people to fight around one person, and many people are standing on the side to watch the excitement.
"Bastard, have an iron plate tied to your body?"
This guy didn't push Bai Ze, his hand hurt, and he immediately scolded, and as soon as he raised his foot below, he kicked towards Bai Ze.
And Bai Ze's eyes flashed, and he secretly sneered, what he was waiting for was that these people couldn't help but make the first move.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if the enemy moves slightly, I will move first.
Regardless of whether it is a heads-up or a group fight, this is a wise saying, if people want to beat themselves, Bai Ze will not stand and be beaten, regardless of whether he has practiced kung fu or not, he will fight first.
Copy it casually, and when the opposite kick has not yet kicked himself, he put the other party's calf in his hand like a fish, and then flip his hand and lift it up, and the guy who was the first to do it turned over on the spot, snapped, and fell to the ground with a solid face down.
swept with another kick, swept the head of the talking head out, hit three or four, rolled all over the ground like a gourd, and the pedestrians around him were dumbfounded, and the boss who had fried fritters on the stall earlier was still stunned for a while.
These people are just a few people who have practiced in the martial arts club for a few days, and they are not practicing boxing and martial arts at all, and in Bai Ze's hands, they are not much better than children who can't walk.
Don't look at the crowd, twenty-eight people surrounded him, and he couldn't even stop Bai Ze from walking, and in an instant, inside and out, there were people lying on the ground. The head who was swept out struggled to stand up at this time, covered his waist with one hand, and picked up a green brick on the ground with the other, but he was slapped by Bai Ze, spun around in place a few times, sat down on the ground, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and two or three teeth fell out of it.
"Don't mess with me ...... if it's okay in the future!"
More than two dozen young men, rolling around, screaming in pain, Bai Ze sneered and said, Shi Shiran turned around and entered the campus.
(To be continued)
