Chapter 183: Bajiquan (II)
The room that Yi Yang came to was spacious, empty, and brightly lit.
I saw a wooden stake placed in the center of the room, which was the kind of stake used to practice boxing.
This is obviously a martial arts training hall, but the decoration is relatively simple, and it is not as luxurious as the martial arts hall in martial arts movies.
At this moment, Lu Lao was naturally in the hall, but he was very different from usual, and he changed into a special costume tonight, which was a set of snow-white and light practice clothes.
When Yi Yang walked in, Lu Lao didn't look back at him, but opened his posture there to practice martial arts.
Seeing that the other party was so serious, Yi Yang naturally didn't want to disturb him, so he stepped forward and stood quietly to the side and watched.
"Is Lu Lao really going to teach me to practice?!" Yi Yang thought with surprise and joy in his heart, seeing that he had come to a martial arts training hall, and Lu Lao was boxing there, it seemed clear that Lu Lao was showing him something, and then took him as an apprentice and taught him a mastery.
After getting closer, Yi Yang began to watch Lu Lao's movements intently, although he didn't have any research on the way of kung fu, he only knew some very superficial things, but he could see that Lu Lao was not practicing a set of ordinary boxing techniques, but very exquisite boxing techniques.
I saw that he was like a stake when he was quiet, he didn't move, he was like a rabbit when he moved, moving and jumping, and every movement was very flexible.
Although Lu Lao is old and an old man, his body is abundant, and he has a fierce explosive power accumulated in his body, if he lacks strength, then it will not be so powerful that night, a punch and a kick can give people a heavy blow, and they can almost give people lives.
Right now, when Lu Lao is playing that set of punches, the fist wind is whirring, and the tiger is vigorous.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Lao's set of punches was finished, and the whole set of punches he used was smooth, very smooth and natural.
After finishing the fight and putting away his fists, Lu Lao turned around and looked at Yi Yang, who was standing quietly by the side admiring.
"Lu Lao." Yi Yang hurriedly said hello politely.
"Xiao Yi, are you here?" Lu Lao nodded in greeting, but at this moment there was no smile on his face, and his expression was stern.
"Well, I just came." Yi Yang nodded.
"Come here." Lu Lao beckoned to him, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Have you practiced before?" When Yi Yang walked over, Lu Lao asked.
Yi Yang shook his head and replied, "I haven't practiced, I've never practiced." ”
Lu Lao said: "That means you have no foundation at all. But it doesn't matter, starting from scratch is not necessarily a bad thing, if you used to study together and the things in your head are disorganized, it may affect your later learning. ”
"Well, Lu Lao, you're right, I think so too." Yi Yang nodded solemnly, he understood the meaning of Lu Lao's words, and the other party was obviously going to teach him kung fu.
But he didn't have any foundation at all, and it was not easy to learn well from scratch.
Of course, Yi Yang didn't think about how strong kung fu he had to learn in this overnight time, so he took his time and practiced step by step, and when he reached a certain level, he would naturally have results.
"I've been observing you for a long time, and I found that you are indeed a good material for martial arts." Lu Lao said solemnly, "But practice is very hard, as the saying goes, 'one minute on the stage, ten years off the stage', this saying is very suitable for us martial arts practitioners." ”
"I'm not afraid of hardship, real kung fu is practiced day by day, and no one can take advantage of this thing." Yi Yang nodded vigorously.
"It's good that you have this realization." Lu Lao said with relief.
"Lu Lao, then you ...... Can you teach me? Yi Yang plucked up his courage and said, he sent a request to Lu Lao again, obviously with the intention of apprenticeship.
"Xiao Yi, I understand your intentions, you sincerely want to learn martial arts." Lu Lao said, "But I didn't promise you before, it was really because I had completely put away this heart and never wanted to take an apprentice again." ”
Yi Yang nodded and said: "I know, that thing can't be forced, so I didn't embarrass you, I kept telling Xiaochao that I feel honored to know Lu Lao, and I don't dare to ask for other things, just go with the flow." ”
From Lu Lao's words, he felt a great hope, that is, the other party did not agree to him before, but now he has changed his mind and is willing to accept this apprentice and teach him a mastery.
Lu Lao smiled and said, "You are really a person with determination and perseverance!" ”
He finally had a smile on his face again, and he looked very happy.
"Okay!" Immediately, Lu Lao nodded heavily and said, "Since you are so determined, then I will teach you a little bit of beginner skills." ”
"Old Lu, so to speak, you ...... You promised to take me as an apprentice?! Yi Yang's voice trembled slightly, and he said very excitedly.
After saying that, he bent forward, and he had to bow to the teacher.
"What do you do? Don't do that, we won't do this. Lu Lao hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm and lifted him up.
"Old Lu, then will you accept me as an apprentice?" Yi Yang asked.
Lu Lao shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't officially accept you, but I really don't have the heart to accept apprentices now, but I can teach you, just like a teacher teaches a student, you can call me Teacher Lu, I will teach you wholeheartedly, if there is anything I don't understand, just ask me, as long as I know it, tell you and teach you." ”
"......" When he heard these words, Yi Yang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Lu Lao asked.
Yi Yang hurriedly nodded and said, "I understand!" ”
Of course he understood what the other party meant, although Lu Lao did not accept him as a so-called "closed disciple", but it was similar to this situation, they were all one to teach, one to learn, and the relationship was a little different, but there was no essential difference, because listening to Lu Lao's meaning, he was ready to teach him.
Yi Yang can understand Lu Lao's thoughts very well, Lu Lao has really withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, he will no longer accept apprentices according to the rules of martial arts, but only accept students who practice martial arts in an ordinary form of teaching.
Bai Wenchao had already told Yi Yang about Lu Lao's past before, and Yi Yang now understands everything and knows why Lu Lao would retire from the rivers and lakes, so taboo to accept apprentices again.
"You get it, then let's get started." Lu Lao nodded happily and said, "By the way, there is a question I still want to ask you, and you have to answer me truthfully." ”
"What's the problem? Lu Lao, just ask, I will definitely answer you one by one. Yi Yang said very seriously.
Lu Lao asked, "Why do you want to learn kung fu so much?" Everyone learns Kung Fu with a purpose. ”
Yi Yang replied casually: "As long as it is for physical fitness, learning martial arts itself is also a hobby, which can cultivate sentiment, besides, after learning kung fu, you can not only defend yourself, but also act bravely." ”
"Yes." Hearing Yi Yang's answer, Lu Lao seemed to be very satisfied, nodded solemnly, and then said, "Learning martial arts can't be used to be competitive and competitive, in order to defeat the other party, let alone to bully the weak and do things that hurt nature and reason." ”
Yi Yang said: "Old Lu, don't worry, I will never use the kung fu I collected from you to bully the weak, I will only help them." ”
Lu Lao said: "I believe in you, you are a child with a kind nature and a good nature, I am very relieved to pass on what I have learned all my life to you." ”
"Thank you!" Yi Yang was excited.
At this point, the matter has been finalized, and the dream that Yi Yang had when he came to Beijing has finally come true, and Lu Lao promised to teach him kung fu.
Next, it's up to Yi Yang himself, anyway, there is already a famous teacher with unique skills, and the key to success depends on his own comprehension and hard work as a student.
"Xiao Yi, do you know what the punch I did just now is called?" Lu Lao asked suddenly.
Yi Yang shook his head and replied, "I don't know." Lu Lao, I don't know anything about boxing, and I don't have any foundation at all. ”
Lu Lao shook his head and said, "It's okay, this thing can be learned slowly." ”
Then he explained: "That set of boxing is called 'Bajiquan', I don't know if you have heard of it." Bajiquan is a set of ordinary boxing techniques, of course, this ordinary refers not to the boxing itself is ordinary, but to say that this set of boxing techniques is very common and can be learned by the public, rather than the kind of private boxing that is not passed on. ”
"Bajiquan?" Yi Yang nodded and said, "This name is very familiar, I should have heard of it somewhere before."
Lu Lao said: "Well, you should have heard of it, it is more famous in Zhulu Boxing, and there are many people who learn it, just like Wing Chun." ”
"I see." Yi Yang said suddenly.
Lu Lao said: "When teaching you the basic skills, I will first teach you this set of Bajiquan, Bajiquan is very practical, good to practice, and after you learn the basic skills, Bajiquan has passed the test again, I will teach you other boxing techniques, step by step, this can not be rushed, and it is not urgent." ”
Yi Yang nodded and said, "I know, I'm not in a hurry, listen to your arrangement, learn Bajiquan first, and learn Bajiquan first." ”
The other party is a generation of martial arts masters, and he arranges his teaching like this, he has his own reasons, and it is right to listen to him.
Next, Lu Laoxian systematically explained the basic knowledge of "Bajiquan" and its essence.
There is such a saying in the national art circles, "Wen has Tai Chi to calm the world, and Wu has eight poles to determine the world", which is talking about Bajiquan.
Bajiquan, one of the names of Chinese boxing, "Baji" means that the strength can reach far away in all directions. Its movements are simple and concise, strong and crisp, and the feet are vigorous.
Bajiquan has a long history, through the painstaking study of generations, with its unique style and practice, unique, self-contained, constantly carried forward, enduring, from generation to generation emerged many martial arts masters, in the martial arts world has a great influence.
When Lu Lao explained, Yi Yang pricked up his ears and listened carefully, not missing a word.
Then, Lu Lao asked Yi Yang to follow him to practice the movements of Bajiquan, although this is the first time Yi Yang has officially practiced martial arts, he has no experience at all, and his body is also average, but he is extremely serious and meticulous, so he has learned to have a clear eye, and he has that taste.
At the beginning, Lu Lao nodded in approval, saying that he had learned well and was a malleable talent.
Hearing Lu Lao's praise, Yi Yang was full of confidence, and he believed that under the teaching of Lu Lao, a master, he would definitely learn this set of Bajiquan well and lay a solid foundation.
