Chapter 36: Zhou Dong's Teachings
"The head and neck imitate the dry, and take its strength and purity; The feet and knees imitate Hukun, taking its calm and thick load; The shoulder and back should be loose, which is the meaning of Xunshun; The crotch should be tightened, and it must be redeemed. The chest wants to be trained, and Genshan is similar; The ribs have breathing, and the vibration is unpredictable; Kanli is the image of water and fire, and water is fire, and water is water; The heart and kidneys are the organs of water and fire, and the water should rise and the fire should fall. ”
Zhao Gou silently recited the mantra and muttered: "Be handsome with God, handsome with Qi, turn at will, shape with Qi, move with your spirit, and rise with your spirit." Stillness is full, movement is surging. Stretch can be a song, live can also work, the song is like a tiger, stretch than the dragon. There is no trace, bending and stretching, turning over the fierce tiger and leopard, and turning the falcon eagle. The body is as hard as iron, the law is as dense as a cage, the door is changing, and the law is amorphous. The front and back are orderly, the left and right are distinct, the far is to pursue, and the near is to welcome. The height is arbitrary, the length is vertical and horizontal, such as fire and electricity, like water and wind.
The work of servant skills, both rigid and soft, high mountains and rocks, crossbow arrows away from the bow. Like a ball like a wheel, rolling non-stop, there is a sense of response, and the opportunity to strike. Not as advanced, non-stop, because of the situation, demolition ruthless.
Knowing and reaching, not thinking about it, adapting freely, stemming from intuition. Beyond behavior, out of instinct, internal strength, and mediocre reason. God, form, qi, and power are born naturally, naturally, without reluctance. The combination of form, potential, qi and force is a sign that the internal strength has reached the stage of divine luck. ”
When a person's internal strength reaches the stage of divine luck, he can move because of the enemy while walking, sitting and lying down, and win because of the enemy. Reactions faster than thoughts come from instinct; Actions that are more accurate than judgment come from intuition. Although Zhao is also the internal strength of Buddhism and Taoism, it is still too early to reach the stage of divine luck.
Zhao Gou sighed with a wry smile: "If you want to achieve the realm of divine luck with internal strength, there is still a long way to go." Now, my internal skills have been a small success. Even in the midst of a difficult grind, a little pranayama can be restored. The foundation problem mentioned by the master has gradually been consolidated, but the process is too difficult. ”
Chen Tuan's ancestor taught him the "Fetal Breath Sutra"; Zhou Tong passed on his "Dharma Secret Gong", both of which are upper-level internal skills. Chen Luan's ancestor passed on his martial arts to him was to change his own physique, which was specifically aimed at Zhao Gou's weak physique. At the same time, Zhou Tong also had the same purpose, and the last two internal skills were superimposed together, based on the "Fetal Breath Sutra", and the "Dharma Secret Gong" was deepened, making Zhao Gou's internal strength cultivation to a higher level.
However, the pain in it is very unbearable, one will be Taoism, the other will be Buddhism, and the martial arts of two different theories will rampage in Zhao Gou's body and become intertwined. At the beginning, when he practiced, two different breaths collided together, which really made him unbearable, and he couldn't help but snort, and he had to be brutally trained by Zhou Tong, and he worked many times harder than ordinary people, so that the two breaths were no longer entangled, but merged with each other, and they were distinct, constantly making up for Zhao Gou's loss of physical strength.
Zhao Gou's foundation is not strong, and Zhou Tong has a set of methods that can be changed, first replenishing his vitality with internal force, and then supplementing external practice for further stimulation, which is equivalent to Zhao Gou's need to start practicing again. At the beginning, he only needed to tie the horse step, press the leg, etc.; Now, Zhao Gou needs to carry a weight of fifty kilograms on his back to practice, so that he can bear many times more strength than ordinary people.
The effect is also very obvious, first of all, Zhao Gou's pace is more stable, and his internal strength is getting deeper and deeper. Through continuous practice every day, Zhao Gou's physical strength has improved greatly, and the strength of his whole body has gradually increased. From the beginning of the weight of ten kilograms, to the later thirty kilograms, and several months passed, directly superimposed to fifty kilograms.
Every morning, I practiced for two hours, practiced for three hours in the afternoon, and practiced with Zhou Dong in person for a few hours in the middle. Yue Fei and the others' weapons had been made a few months ago, and they watched Zhao Gou practice with weights every day, their eyes widened, and they looked at Zhao Gou like a wooden chicken, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
If it is replaced by them, they may not be able to do it, and only Zhao Gou has cultivated internal strength, practicing external strength during the day and practicing internal strength at night, so that Zhao Gou has endless strength every day. Even though it is very hard, sweating every day, the whole body is prostration; The next day, Zhao Gou woke up refreshed, and everyone was surprised.
Yue Fei and others also practiced internal strength, but it was difficult to cultivate without Zhao Gou's internal strength, and the effect gap was also very obvious. No matter how hard he worked, Zhao Gou persevered. As time passed, Zhou Tong appreciated Zhao Gou's perseverance very much, he believed what Lin Chong said in his letter, and couldn't help but appreciate: "This son's perseverance is really as Lin Chong said, it is really rare, and the effort of ordinary people is several times greater, and the effect is out; Next, you should also teach him how to attack. Today, the foundation is solid, and the pace is more stable. ”
"Zhao Gou, how long have you been following as a teacher?" Zhou Tong hugged his body, looked at Zhao Gou with kind eyes, and asked kindly.
Zhao Gou panted and stopped the movements in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The disciple has been practicing martial arts with the master for seven months. ”
"Time flies!" Zhou Tong sighed, and then said: "In seven months, your foundation has been solid. To my surprise, your body has become much stronger. Moreover, your pace is not as frivolous as before, and you are much calmer, and you can get straight to the point with every attack, which is really rare. ”
"At the beginning, the teacher promised you that after your foundation was solid, he would teach you a new martial arts. I am proficient in all the eighteen martial arts, but I have nothing to teach you. In the beginning, you have learned it all, but you lack some heat. Now that your foundation is solid, you know these moves by heart. ”
Zhao Gou listened to Zhou Dong's words intently, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that he was not going to teach him martial arts. Zhou Tong already knew Zhao Gou's thoughts, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to teach you in the moves, but I can also teach you how to fight the enemy, that is, actual combat practice, use all the moves you have learned to fight against me, only in this way can you catch up with the progress of Shang Pengju and others, there is no other way, only in this way, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
"Thank you, master!" Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard this, and the previous haze was swept away, and his eyes showed a yearning look.
He knew that Zhou Dong was a generation of martial arts masters, who had learned from all over the world, and had a long history of learning from others. The way of martial arts is not like the way of literature, martial arts needs to be taught by words and deeds, and the way of literature can be inferred from one another, only martial arts need down-to-earth hard practice. If you just practice alone, you will gain very little, but if someone practices against you, you will benefit a lot and improve by leaps and bounds.
Now, Zhou Tong is willing to personally guide his martial arts, and Zhao Goyan can not be excited and get carried away. Yue Fei and the others were happy for Zhao Gou and at the same time, they looked at Zhou Tong with some curiosity. They have followed Zhou Dong for a long time, and they have never seen Zhou Tong open his mouth and be willing to practice with others in person, only Zhao Gou can get this treatment.
Yue Fei and the others were not out of jealousy, but genuine curiosity, and they didn't understand what Zhou Dong was thinking, and only Zhou Tong himself knew all this.
The next day, after Zhao Gou did the basic exercises as usual, he waited for Zhou Dong early, looking forward to it. Zhou Tong, who had not been seen for a long time, was late, he changed into a practice uniform, looked at Zhao Gou calmly, and said with a smile: "Not bad!" …… These days of training are not in vain, so let's try the exercises on the fists and feet! ”
Zhao Gou nodded hurriedly, excited, he had already prepared for today. So, Zhou Tong and Zhao Gou began to practice against each other. After all, Zhou Dong is old and no longer used for the year, just fighting for an hour, he is out of breath and out of breath; On the other hand, Zhao Gou's breath was not disturbed at all, he was calm and relaxed, and he was eager to try.
When Zhou Tong stopped to rest, Zhao Gou also stopped, wheezing violently, sweating, and sighed: "It seems that I am really old, and I can't accept it!" ”
Zhao Gou answered: "The master should be old and strong, if ordinary adults are not your opponents, how can they be old?" ”
"Okay, the master's affairs are known by himself, and at this age, there is nothing to see!" Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Zhao Gou, how do you feel about fighting with your teacher before you and using the same moves?" ”
Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, and said in a straight voice: "The master's moves are at your fingertips, do whatever you want; The disciple's moves were chaotic and stiff. To put it simply, the disciple's moves have not mastered the essence, and he can only be regarded as a little understanding of fur kung fu, which is still far from the master. ”
Zhou Tong slowed down and praised: "It's already very good that you can see so much, in fact, your martial arts are also the best among several people." It's just that you are still old, even if you have undergone rigorous training and your strength has improved a lot, your strength alone still can't be compared with Pengju and others. ”
"Your steps are steady, but your moves are too strong, and if you just pass, it is easy to break, a little less flexible, and you can retract and release freely; The moves are rigid and cumbersome, so that the movements are stiff and unable to do what they want. When you can really retract and release freely, it is not far from doing whatever you want. ”
"When facing the enemy, it is not immutable, we must know how to change at the right time, the move is dead, and the person is alive. Moves are created by man, and they can be reduced to slavery to moves. When fighting against people, any move can be used, especially when you go into battle to kill the enemy, if you are too rigid about the form, you will inevitably suffer losses. ”
"Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, the most important thing is to win the war and protect the country. When the two armies fight each other, as long as they win the war, they can strategize as the premise. Otherwise, in a righteous and bright war, whether you win a good reputation or a bad reputation, only the final result is the key, victory will be famous, and defeat will be stinking for thousands of years. ”
"It's the same with martial arts moves, if you stick to formalization, then you will fall behind, as long as others know the moves you use, you can defeat the enemy with one move, and you will be defeated. Martial arts routines are just for you to become proficient in this martial art, not for you to use the same routines when you are against others, in this case, you will already be defeated without a fight. ”
"Therefore, you have to remember that the moves are dead, people are alive, don't stay the same, and use them flexibly. Sometimes, learning martial arts and learning Manjushri have the same path, learning literature has to draw inferences from one another, and learning martial arts is the same, or even more powerful. Because, if you are careless, you will lose your own life. ”
Zhao Gou listened attentively to Zhou Dong's teachings, nodded with understanding, and said solemnly: "Disciple remembered!" ”
