256 Getting Started
That night, Captain Chen just checked my qualifications, as well as some skills that Li Aiguo and my uncle had taught me in the past, and he said that now I only have some basic offensive and defensive instincts, which can be regarded as just stepping on this road, and it is difficult to really enter the house.
Of course, he also said that Li Aiguo and my uncle were not unwilling to teach me, but I had no foundation in the past, and could only teach me some basic things. From tomorrow onwards, he will train me in all aspects, teach me some practical skills, and make me a real practitioner.
"It's going to be harder than before, are you mentally prepared?" Captain Chen asked me.
Now I am immersed in the grief of "cutting off the relationship" with Li Jiaojiao, and it is the time when I need to torture myself a lot in order to forget this relationship, so I agreed without hesitation, and asked Captain Chen to train me boldly despite being at ease.
Seeing that I was determined, Captain Chen didn't say anything more, only said that he would start training from tomorrow and asked me where I was more suitable. When Li Aiguo and my uncle trained me before, they were all on the edge of the reservoir ten miles away from our town, which was very suitable for me to train, so this time I chose that place again.
After asking my address, he made an appointment to meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Captain Chen left.
After a night's sleep, the next morning, I arrived at the edge of the reservoir on time. Captain Chen had arrived, he had arrived on a motorcycle, and he had brought fishing tools and fished for a while on the edge of the reservoir. Seeing that I was coming, he asked me to warm up first and said that I would start training in a while.
Because of the previous training experience, the warm-up was also familiar, so I started a regular warm-up in the open space behind Captain Chen, running, leg presses, push-ups, etc., and came to several groups, and after a while, I was sweating profusely. After Captain Chen saw it, he shook his head and said that I can only be a mediocre person in this warm-up, and it is almost the same to practice bodybuilding. He asked me to add 10 more groups to the original project, and talk to him after I was done.
This time it was enough to choke me, and by the time all the projects were done, I was just slumped on the ground exhausted, soaked with sweat, panting like a dog, unable to even say a word. It was only at this time that Captain Chen put down the fishing rod, stood up slowly, and then took out the Tang knife he was carrying, and said to me lying on the ground: "Next, I will show you a set of knife techniques, this set of knife techniques was passed on to me by your uncle at the beginning, both offensive and defensive, powerful, the stronger your own strength, the stronger the power you will exer." But I'll explain it to you in advance, I'll only demonstrate it to you once, whether you can remember it depends on your own ability, and never want me to demonstrate it to you a second time! ”
Listening to Captain Chen's serious words, I quickly sat up and stared at him intently, for fear that I would miss any of his movements. Then, Captain Chen played the Tang knife in front of me, and he played very quickly, slashing left and right stabs up and down, and his footwork seemed to be very exquisite, and the smoke and dust on the land made his movements even more dazzling.
I know that this is the orthodox national art, what taekwondo, karate is popular now, everyone blindly worships the foreign, but throws away the things of our ancestors, and becomes a means for the elderly to strengthen their bodies in the park. Now, Captain Chen has shown one of them in front of me, and he has unleashed its power to the fullest, and if there is an enemy standing in front of Captain Chen now, I have no doubt that Captain Chen will be able to cut it into meat sauce.
Captain Chen's moves are chic and neat, the more I look at it, the more I feel the blood boiling, this is the real killing skill, and it is really not the same thing as the three-legged cat-like juggling I used to be.
The whole process of playing with the knife lasted about three minutes, and Captain Chen, who was still fierce just now, suddenly withdrew the knife, and the whole person stood motionless like an awl, allowing the smoke and dust to drift around him. Captain Chen looked at me dumbfounded and asked, "How much do you write down?" ”
Captain Chen's knife technique just now was as fast as a dragon leaping and a tiger leaping, I couldn't even look at it, where can I remember it. After reading it, my brain was a mess, and I felt that I was playing too beautifully, and I didn't remember anything else, only a vague impression, so I was left dumbfounded, and said very weakly: "Remember, I remember about 30% of it......"
Hearing me say this, Captain Chen showed a very surprised expression, which looked incredible, and my face also burned, and I didn't even dare to look directly into Captain Chen's eyes. A trace of disappointment flashed on Captain Chen's face, and he sighed and said, "Weizi, if you can only remember Sancheng, it means that you are not sensitive to these things at all, in other words, you have no talent in this, and there is no need to practice this thing at all." Otherwise, if you listen to my advice, don't practice this, anyway, you are a big brother, as long as you have a good brain, it is enough to invite as many bodyguards as you want, there is no need to waste time on this. ”
I know that Captain Chen's words didn't mean to hit me, being a big brother is really good at fighting if it is not necessary, how many people are as civil and military as my uncle? In today's era, having a good brain is king, practicing kung fu and practicing fists and feet is outdated, and what kind of powerful bodyguards can't be hired after you have money? But my face was still burned to the extreme, and I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to dig a pit and bury myself.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Captain Chen didn't speak, and silently went back to catch his own fish, as if he planned to leave here after fishing. I sat on the floor, full of chagrin and guilt, thinking to myself that if I didn't do it, I was actually quite powerful, and it would be no problem to deal with ordinary people.
However, I still have a little hope in my heart, and my mind keeps recalling Captain Chen's actions just now, hoping that I can remember a little more and remember a little more. Strange to say, after being hit by Captain Chen, I remembered more things, and the moves he played just now flashed back in my mind in the form of a movie projection, and they were very clear. I can't say I can recall them all, but it's not a problem to remember eight or nine points.
I tried my best to think about it, as if I remembered what the teacher had just said after class, or as if I woke up and remembered what the dream was, and I thought I couldn't remember anything, but after trying hard, I remembered it little by little.
As I thought, I gestured with my fingertips on the ground, wondering what it was like at first and what it was like afterward...... I don't know how long later, there was a sudden noise on the edge of the reservoir, and Captain Chen was cleaning up his fishing business, and seemed to be ready to leave.
I hurriedly jumped up and said Captain Chen, you watch, I'll play it for you!
Captain Chen looked at me unexpectedly and said Okay, you play.
I used my fingers as a knife and played in front of Captain Chen, although I didn't have the power of Captain Chen just now, and I didn't have his tiger spirit, and many places were not standard, I could only learn its shape, but not its spirit, and there were some forgotten places in the middle, but I still played a so-so game.
After the trick, I looked at Captain Chen nervously, and my heart also raised my throat, waiting for the teacher's comments like a primary school student.
Captain Chen sighed, "There are a total of seventeen mistakes. ”
There are seventeen of them! Countless disappointments surged in my heart, I tried my best, but in the end I still got such a result, how can I not feel sad in my heart. I knew that I had missed my last chance, so I could only bow my head stupidly, ready to send Captain Chen away.
As a result, Captain Chen put down the fishing rod and bucket instead, and said to me: "It's not bad, barely passing, and you can start training from today!" ”
Captain Chen's words were like a wonderful fairy sound to me, which made my whole body tremble and excited, and I could hardly control myself when I was happy, and kept saying thank you to Captain Chen.
Captain Chen smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank yourself, if you can remember so much, it means that you still have talent, then I also have the heart to teach you." Otherwise, if I teach you for a long time, you still won't know anything, and I don't have a sense of accomplishment? ”
After immersing myself in joy for a long, long time, my emotions slowly calmed down, and I asked a question that I had just wanted to ask, saying that I was originally a stick player, and now I am learning knife skills, should I switch to knives in the future?
Captain Chen told me that no, these things are inherently the same, and the same knife technique can be used on a stick. As he spoke, he also asked me to take out my slinger, saying that the material of this thing is extraordinary, and it can be used not only as a knife, but also as a sword at critical moments, and even as a whip, which is a rare good thing.
Of course, I was very happy to hear Captain Chen praise my weapon, saying that my uncle got it from Maozi some time ago, and I heard that it took a lot of effort.
Captain Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "How can it be, this thing is called a god stick, and it is your uncle's personal treasure like the soul hook chain, and it followed your uncle twenty years ago, it is indeed a very rare thing, but it has nothing to do with Maozi, who told you that?" ”
I was also taken aback, saying that Li Aiguo told me so!
Captain Chen looked like a black line and said, "He cheated you......"
I was speechless, I thought that although this thing was rare, it was not so rare, but now I know that it is really so rare, maybe there are few in the whole world. Now it seems that this was given to me by my uncle, and he was deceived by Li Aiguo for so long, and he was so angry with me!
The thought that this stick, which has accompanied my uncle for at least twenty years, and now gave it to me without hesitation, undoubtedly touched my heart even more. I gently stroked the stick, which seemed to have a residual body temperature from my uncle, and it clearly represented my uncle's hope for me; In my heart, the longing for my uncle suddenly became uncontrollable......
In short, I passed the preliminary assessment, and Captain Chen decided to start training me today. Captain Chen told me that my uncle passed on his sword technique is simple (of course, I have reservations about it), but it is not easy to exert its power, not only does it need to improve its own strength and strength, but also its awareness when fighting with others is indispensable. Otherwise, it will be like those old men in the park who dance knives and guns, and can only be reduced to a means of strengthening the body.
So Captain Chen told me that from today onwards, the morning will be mainly physical training, and the afternoon will be to practice knife techniques and practice skills when fighting with others; Practice separately and step by step.
