Chapter 29: Kung Fu
At this moment, Li Jing was in the most luxurious VIP room of the Phoenix. This suite is very large, nearly 100 square meters, and the location is the highest in the whole ship. Behind it is a wall of lattice latticework and glazed windows, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and a balcony veranda with oak floors outside. In the era of sail warships and later the era of battleships, such balconies were called "admirals' corridors".
In the boring and long voyage, this corridor can breathe in the air, see the sea view, and put a rocking chair to drink some black tea or something. These privileges represented the authority of the nobility and officers. The Western philosophy is that the captain of the ship must have absolute authority, and that the division of people into different ranks and different treatment can make the sailors obey the officers and know their status.
It was the captain's bedroom and living room, a conference room, an operational command room, and a huge green table in the center, with nautical charts in the middle. There are various drawing tools on it. Pencils and quill pens and other things for offshore work. In addition to portholes, there are various cabinets and storage spaces, bookshelves and safes on the four walls. The walls are also decorated with the skull of a deer, and a fine flintlock pistol rests on the antlers.
Li Jing sat comfortably in a leather swivel chair, the leather was made of American bison leather, Li Jing wore leather boots, and put his legs on the magnificent mahogany table. Li Wei'er and Li Yue'er were embroidering his "Flaming Phoenix Flag" for Li Jing around the huge map table with the four maids.
"Little brother, I think the pattern of this flag only in the middle is too monotonous, if it is on the four sides and four corners, it will be better to decorate with plum branches and plum blossoms, and at the same time, it can also highlight the symbol of our plum blossom dock Li family."
"Well, sister, you have a good idea, listen to you, just add lace." Li Jing said lazily. Hearing that Li Jing adopted her own suggestion, Li Xin'er was very happy.
"By the way, Sister Weiwei and Sister Yueyue, which school do you belong to, what is your name, it seems to be rare, tell me."
"I won't tell you this, you understand, it won't work next time I beat you," Li Weier raised her small fist and provoked the corners of her mouth defiantly.
"Good sister, tell me, why is this kind of boxing so fast, I see the fireworks in a mess, and I am dizzy. Before you hit me, you're going to faint. ”
"Hehe, how can it be so powerful, little brother, you like to exaggerate" Li Yue'er also said proudly.
"Little brother, our sisters' kung fu is passed on to men but not to women, and it is passed on inside but not outside, you can learn from your nephew in the future." Li Weier smiled, and naughtily wrinkled her cute little nose.
"Oh, you two are not married yet, but now it's my Li family, it's really a girl extrovert, a girl is outgoing, and now you're turning your elbows outward, no wonder the second uncle always scolds you two for losing money,"
"Stinky brother, what are you talking about," the two girls were furious and rushed up together, Li Wei'er and Li Xin'er grabbed one of Li Jing's legs, dragged him off the table, and greeted him with a pair of pink fists.
"Ah, don't fight, if you fight again, you'll die,"
"Oops, my bones are broken,"
"Sister, sister, I've surrendered, surrendered, don't fight"
"I have good things, make amends to you, don't fight"
The second daughter stopped, "If there's something good, take it out" Li Weier grabbed his ear and said,
"Yes, if it's not a good thing, I'll beat you," Li Xin'er continued
"In my arms, two books, both for you" Li Jing hurriedly took out the two books "Wing Chun" and "Baguazhang" that he bought on the light curtain in his arms.
"It's these two books, my master's secrets are all given to you, how can it be like your little family, for fear that I will learn it."
The second daughter looked at these two boxing books and flipped through them curiously. Ignoring Li Jing still on the floor, Li Jing rubbed his waist and sat up, looking at the obsessed appearance of the two sisters, and pursed his lips. Just kidding, they have always been so heavy since they were young, and they hurt for days each time. These two books were bought and given to them by Li Jing for a long time, although I don't know what kind of boxing they practiced, but they are almost the main, and the routines and moves are far inferior to the Wing Chun that has been tempered by later generations. didn't want their talents to be delayed by Ye Luzi, so I found an opportunity to give it to them.
The two girls flipped through for a while, looked at each other, and found that this boxing book, as if tailor-made for the two of them, from theory to practice is written very thoroughly, and the back is beautifully illated, clear and intuitive, the following explanation is detailed, you can understand it at a glance, and you are overjoyed.
Li Weier tilted her head to look at Li Jing, and said, "Stinky brother, if you don't give it up quickly if you have this kind of treasure, hide it and don't show it to your sister, it will hurt you in vain after a few hours." ”
Li Jing said angrily: "You two are embarrassed to say, you are one year older than me, the two of you have bullied me since you were a child, and you two put your feet on my belly to warm up in winter when I was a child." It's cold, it's cold, I don't do it, and you pull my ears. Every time you steal something to eat and get caught, both of you say that you stole it for me. It hurts me to be scolded by my grandfather every time. ”
The second daughter heard Li Jing turn over the small intestines, and poured out the troubles of the two of them, and their little faces were also slightly red, they didn't want Meilan Zhuju and the four maids to hear about their troubles back then, they are now pretending to be ladies every day, and quickly grabbed one of Li Jing's arms, put him on the ground and sat on the cowhide swivel chair, and put his legs on the table, and one of them beat him on the shoulder.
"Little brother, you still talk about what he did when you were a child. It's all my sister's fault, my sister apologized to you," Li Weier said.
Li Jing hummed comfortably, thinking that this was about the same, and as he spoke, he took out two more books from his arms, one "Chen's Taijiquan",
A copy of "Xingyi Fist". He shook it in his hand proudly. The second girl snatched it away and quickly opened it to see.
"The three books of the little brother are all internal fists, but each one is broader and deeper than what we are practicing now, but it seems to have an internal connection and inheritance relationship. I don't know what we learn is related to these boxing techniques. Li Yue'er said after turning over the Xingyi fist for a while.
Li Jing thought to himself, how could there be no sense of déjà vu, these three major internal boxing are the culmination of the development and perfection of today's boxing techniques after two hundred years, which founding patriarch is not the dragon and phoenix among people, the talent of the sky.
"Little brother, I remember that you are a subordinate of Wudang, this "Tai Chi" is not suitable for you to give us, your master will punish you." Li Weier was a little reluctant to hold "Chen-style Taijiquan", but she still said cautiously.
"Take it, this is not my master's boxing book, and it has nothing to do with Wudang's eight poles. Wudang's Tai Chi Kung Fu is divided into three layers, the first layer is called Liangyi Boxing, the second layer is called Tai Chi Boxing, and the third layer is called Wuji Gong. It has always been a lineage, and there is a master and an apprentice. Although my master is the junior disciple of the contemporary Wudang master, he and my grandfather made it clear that unless I became a monk in Wudang Mountain as a Taoist, I would not ask my senior brother to teach the Fa. ”
Li Wei'er frowned and said: "Then how can it be done, the younger brother is a monk, wouldn't it cut off my Li family's incense, how can grandpa agree?"
"So, I naturally don't know Wudang's Taijiquan, don't worry, this book was written by a person surnamed Chen. This man is no longer alive, don't worry, no one will make trouble. ”
"Little brother, have you practiced, can you teach us both?"
"I really haven't practiced, didn't you two see it on the top of the mast last time, I didn't take this road, my kung fu is biased towards the battle formation, it's all the fighting of horses and spears"
Li Yue'er said thoughtfully: "Yes, the little brother's kung fu is biased towards fierceness, only attack, no defense, every move is fierce and unrestrained, there is no advance or retreat, it seems that he is killed by someone, and he will die on the way to attack." ”
Li Weier also said: "The little brother has been keeping his hands, for fear of hurting the two of us, but the characteristics of his boxing skills are indeed that the fierce and violent boxing style and the moves of entering the body and relying on the fight are clearly a kind of hand-to-hand combat Kung Fu." It's just that the board is too slippery, and he hasn't practiced horse walking on the boat, and the lookout shook violently at that time, and although we are sisters and brothers, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, after all, it is not a child, and it is not suitable to fight close to us. So we were tied up and could only resist, but we were not as fast as our fists, so we were beaten to a mess. ”
"Actually, it's nothing to tell you, the boxing method I practice is called Baji Boxing, and the reason why I can't retreat is because the ancestor who created this boxing method is the emperor's guard, because the emperor is behind him, where do you retreat."
"Bajiquan takes the head and feet as the Qiankun, the shoulders, knees, elbows and hips as the four directions, the arms front and back are opposite, and the dantian hugging yuan in the center is the meaning of creating a door. That's why it's called eighth-level boxing. The words of Huainanzi "between heaven and earth, the eight poles of Kyushu". The essence of boxing, to lead the qi with the intention, to destroy the force, the three plates and six points inside and outside in one, magnificent, the eight directions of the force through the body is the eye, the whole body is the hand, the movement is changing, the change is the change, the transformation is the spirit, the wonder is endless.
"Bajiquan pays a lot of attention to the practice of offensive and defensive techniques. In the usage, pay attention to 'by, shoulder, squeeze, rely on', see the seams and insert the needle, there are gaps that are drilled, do not move, see the move. Bajiquan is a short punch boxing method, and its movements are extremely strong. In terms of technical techniques, it is important to take inch by inch, and to hit hard and open. To put it simply, if you don't resist fighting, you will fight wherever you want. If there is an empty door there, hit it wherever it is, fight to the death, and solve the enemy as quickly as possible. ”
"It is characterized by suffering, helping, squeezing, leaning, collapsing, and shaking. The force is on the heels, on the waist, and through the fingertips, so the explosive force is extremely strong and has the effect of technical strikes. Due to the strong, unpretentious, and explosive action of Bajiquan, there is a tendency of "shaking your arms and hitting the sky, and stomping your feet to shake Kyushu". ”
The second daughter's eyes widened, "Little brother, little brother, it's so amazing, you teach me"
"Don't teach, the master said that this is practiced by the masters, and you women can't practice it, and it's a waste of food if you practice."
The second girl snorted angrily, but considering that she had already given them four books, and indeed four books were more suitable for them, she let this stinky brother go once.
