Chapter 21: Four Years of Tempering Life

"It's amazing!" Shao Kangzan said.

"Daddy, teach us quickly!" Nu Ai can't wait.

"To practice the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' - buoyancy must be gathered, and qi is the foundation of art. The air is calm and quiet, and the mood is dry and floating; Qi accumulation is strength, and qi dispersion is body spirit. The 'Three-Element Condensation' skill we practiced was to prepare for the practice of the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill'! ”

"Practice the qi first, practice the qi and then the qi is not moving, the qi is not moving and then the mind is clear, and then the mind is clear and then the manipulation is appropriate, so as to control the enemy and win." After practicing the 'three-element condensation', Shaokang has been quite insightful.

'Yes!' The Three Emperors' posture isβ€”" Hiki said as he demonstrated,

"The chest is loose, and the air is heavy; Sink the shoulders and elbows, and close the buttocks and levator anus; Brace your knees around your crotch and grip your toes on the ground. the upper three shoulders, elbows, and wrists are heavy; the middle three sections of the chest, waist, and dantian; The lower three segments of the foot, knee, and crotch lift. The upper and lower are real, and the virtual spirit is stable; loose and unremitting, but not stiff; The internal force is full, and the strength is smooth; Not floating, not dry, upright. ”

Shaokang and Nu Ai followed Daddy's movements and began to practice. After adjusting their movements to the point of place, Hiki Xiu continued to demonstrate and explain:

"The body and the waist are used for each other. The body is the whole, and the waist is the center. If there is a waist, there must be a crotch, the waist turns to the crotch, and the crotch moves with the waist, which is the way of luck to live. The better use of the waist method should be - there is a way to move, and there is a way to strike; The hair is powerful, and the end is a little; Agile movements, walking like a dragon and snake; Unified and unpredictable. There is a way to 'grind and turn a thousand times and the umbilicus does not move', which emphasizes the importance of waist gong and the relationship between waist gong and body method. ”

"Daddy, I realized that you must turn your hips to twist your waist, and you must move your hips to follow your waist before you can do it." Shaokang has a deep understanding.

"It seems that the waist is the axis of the body, the foundation of a skill, and the root of a law!" Nu Ai also has some feelings.

"The 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' is very brave in the use of techniques, and the 'Master's Three Arched Hands' uses the skills of rubbing, tricking, plundering, and belting. Fighting is strong! The techniques of the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' are mainly manifested in the use of five hand shapes: fist, palm, hook, claw and finger. "Hiaki Xiu said while demonstrating,

"The boxing method uses topping, rushing, hanging, and flirting. The palm technique uses splitting, bracing, stepping and colliding. The hook hand is a matching hand, as the saying goes, 'with the hand, the routine is live'. The hook hand uses search, and search is copying. The claw is the unique hand shape and technique of the "Three Emperors Divine Skill", the image of the claw is taken from the carving, and there is a way to "carve the claw snake waist out of the water dragon" is the image and technique of the claw. The claw is used to grasp, take, squeeze, slap the body, and use the ten fingers to clasp to have a sense of entering the wood. Fingering, in the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' is used in two aspects, one is to practice the sword trick of the sword, the other is the bifurcated finger is also called the two fingers, "the cheek pinching the throat" and "the two dragons playing with the pearl" are used in the ring palm and the bifurcated fingers. ”

"I think that practicing techniques should not only have methods, but also skills!" Shaokang followed Daddy to finish the action and realized.

"Skill should be the first, without skill, no method can be used." Nu Ai added.

"You two understand it!" The legs and footwork of the Three Emperors are closely linked. "Daddy patiently demonstrated and guided,

"The leg method uses the front and back points, kicking and sweeping the hanging, and covering the flirtation; And combined with the footwork in the rubbing, squeezing, seting, insertion, flexible use; Coupled with the body method of squeezing each other, crotch punching, etc., to form a more complete set of practical methods. ”。

"Daddy, legs and footwork really need to cooperate to be able to use them freely." Nu Ai said.

"Of course, legs and footwork are also inseparable from body style. Movement, stillness, urgency, slowness, flashing, spreading, soaring, moving and other actions are all in the body. Shaokang also has a deep experience.

"You two are right!" The shoulders, elbows, wrists, and hands of the Three Emperors need to be done - shoulder with elbow, elbow with hand; Manual wrist follow, elbow and shoulder movement; Cover your elbows with your front hand and back with your hands; The hands should be hard, and the wrists should be alive; Cover your elbows and close your shoulders. In the demonstration, Hi Mu Xiu explained,

"The joints of the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hips, knees and feet must be in harmony, and when they conform to each other, they can play together when they exert force, and they can be fast and flexible when defending. But when you are about to be controlled by others, you should not straighten your arms and legs, but you should loosen your shoulders, elbows, and waist to disperse the strength of your whole body, so that you can loosen your strength at all, so that the other party can't touch it and can't hold it accurately, like a loach. This is to better adapt to the situation, find the weak links of the other party, grasp a little bit and exert its strength. ”

"The 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' is really a wonderful achievement!" Shao Kangzan said.

"Reality and fiction are born together, advance and retreat freely!" Nu Ai is also quite rewarding.

'yes!' The Three Emperors Divine Skill' also has the Five Forms Method. That is, to use the characteristics of the five forms of ape, bear, tiger, armor and dragon to practice. "Hiaki Xiu preached while making movements,

"An ape is an ape. The ape's small size and dexterity, the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' grasps its flexible and agile, fast and accurate characteristics to practice, and persists for a long time, so that it can be improvised, fast and not chaotic, which is the superior skill of technology. Bears are clumsy animals that move slowly and slowly. The "Three Emperors Divine Skill" learns from the bear, mainly taking its calm and steady, strong and solid characteristics. Do what you can. The image of the tiger is mighty, and its fighting skills have three: a pounce, a lift, and a cut, which is very powerful. As the saying goes, 'dragons give birth to clouds, tigers give birth to wind', which proves the momentum of the king of beasts. To learn from the Tiger of the 'Three Emperors' Divine Skill, we must learn its majestic momentum of the beast descending the mountain, the power of ten thousand jun and its three instincts. Nails, i.e. turtles. 'Three Emperor Divine Skills' to learn turtles, to learn its elasticity. Martial arts attack is stretching, retreating is shrinking, changing speed, and taking it for use. 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' learns from the dragon and takes its momentum. It is necessary to reflect the momentum of the green dragon out of the water, soaring clouds and fog, seeing the head but not the tail, and the dragon and the tiger. To learn a dragon, you must not only have the shape and intent of a dragon, but also have the momentum and power of a dragon. ”

"If we learn the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill', our skills will definitely increase a lot!" Shao Kang's tone of joy.

"Daddy, the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' is indeed very 'god'! I followed your actions and I thought it was amazing! Nu Ai was also very excited.

"As the saying goes, 'There is no strongest martial art, only the strongest martial artist'! Shao Kang and Nu Ai, although the two of you have learned the 'Three Yuan Condensation Qi' and the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill' together. But the skills mastered are not necessarily the same. ”

"Why don't we both learn! Didn't Daddy give Brother Shao Kang a month and a half of time to meet friends? In those half days, Brother Shao Kang taught him all the kung fu you taught him to his three righteous brothers, and asked me to help them learn! Nu Ai was a little reluctant.

"Your brother has the idea of returning to the country. His sworn brother may become his right-hand man. It's good to learn some skills! "Ji Muxiu understands Shaokang. This moved Shaokang very much.

"Brother Shaokang, in the future, I will also help you teach them martial arts!" Nu Ai seemed to understand something.

"Brothers pay attention to the word 'righteousness', and in the process of teaching them, aren't they also happy?" Shaokang was deeply touched.

"However, practicing martial arts is thinking and self-reflection; The impossible is the law, and the infinite is the finite. The same kind of skill will vary from person to person! "Daddy's teaching is meaningful.

After more than a year of practice, Shaokang and Nu Ai practiced the 'Three Emperors Divine Skill'. At the moment of their attack, all parts of their bodies, such as their heads, shoulders, arms, elbows, palms, fists, fingers, legs, knees, feet, etc., seemed to suddenly turn from a part of their flesh and blood into an incomparably sharp sword or a heavy hammer of ten thousand powers, with an invincible and unguardable momentum. Between the waves of the palm and the fingers, there is hidden power everywhere.

With the foreshadowing of the "Three-Yuan Condensation" and the "Three Emperors Divine Skill", it took more than a year for Ji Muxiu to teach them the 'Sanhe Strange Sword'. The characteristics of the "Sanhe Strange Sword" are - Zhongzheng Anshu, internal and external Liuhe, and the same god shape; Fortune with the heart and spirit, and lead the shape with the body; Rigidity and softness are unstoppable.

In addition, Ji Muxiu also taught them various styles of swordsmanship: Gong Sword, Shape and Bone Strength, Dignified and Neat, One Move, One Trend, and End Style; Sword, smooth and staggering, chic, reciprocating, more and less stopping; Mianjian, soft and subtle, slowly continuous; Drunken sword, wielding it arbitrarily, suddenly returning to illness, like drunkenness, drunk but not drunk; Two-handed sword, two-handed sword, splitting, chopping, carrying, hanging, vigorous and varied.

Seeing that Shaokang and Nu Ai were already comfortable using swordsmanship, Ji Muxiu spent nearly a year training their ability to ride and shoot on horses. Hiki taught that:

"Before opening the bow and arrows, Fang let go. The horse listened to us. Don't open the bow too early, and shake your hands early. But it can't be too late, and if it's too late, you'll be panicked. Not sooner, not sooner, just right. When the bow is opened, the head will be propped up, and the thighs will not be removed from the saddle; Push your right ribs and lumbar spine hard, and push forward, keeping your forehand low. Buckle steadily, whip urgently, and when archery, it is necessary not to be slow, not panicked, not high, not low, not heavy, not light. Take it easy. ”

Four years of tempering have made Shaokang and Nu Ai's ordinary life more solid, and deepened their strong will and endurance. This is the foundation of great achievements.

Shaokang and Nu Ai persevered in the tempering and never retreated, making their lives shine with a halo of happiness, and also allowing them to see a beautiful hope and a bright future.

A shining life is built by tempering, a wise life is built by hard work, and a great life is forged by suffering.

The thorns, the steep cliffs, and the turbulent waves have become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of Shaokang and Nu Ai.

Eighteen-year-old Shaokang, dressed in white, is better than snow, under the thick sword eyebrows, his black eyes are like gurgling spring water, warm and moist like a spring breeze.

His nose was as straight as a distant mountain of teal; The waist is tied with a long sword, and the slender body is tall and chic; His long hair was scattered like ink on his white clothes, and he only used a black belt to tie the hair in front of him behind his head, and his whole body exuded a temperament as fierce as his sword.

The whole person is handsome and inherently noble, cold and arrogant but magnificent, and he exudes a strong force that is proud of heaven and earth.

Seventeen-year-old female Ai, with a heroic spirit in her beautiful face. Liruo spring plum blooms snow, and the god is like autumn frost. The cheeks are melting, and the glow reflects the pond; The eyes are crystalline, and the moon shines on the cold river; A sword is at his waist, and his long hair hangs down his shoulders; Dressed in a yellow dress, her posture is outstanding; The leather shoes and green horses are charming and picturesque.
