Chapter Ninety-Two: Challenging the 10,000-pound boulder
Luo Shixin and Fang Xingtian's faces changed after seeing this boulder, and the two glanced at each other, both motioning for the other party to go first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This boulder is too large in size, there is no focus point, so it is very difficult to hold it with bare hands, weightlifting this sport was listed as an Olympic sport in later generations, it can be seen that in various countries, this sport has a mass base, but the damage of weightlifting to the human body is also well known to the world.
When the human body is standing, the most vulnerable position of the human body is the waist, thinking that there is only one spine bone in the waist, and there is no other bone support around it, all of which are muscle tissue, so the human waist is generally the most prone to problems.
Weightlifting will greatly concentrate the burden on the waist, when people lift heavy objects, the waist spine bones are under tremendous pressure, and the human spine is not straight, but several curved, so when bearing weight, it will produce a component in other directions.
In 307 B.C., the most powerful Qin State in the Warring States Period at that time, King Yingdang of Qin, who had just succeeded to the throne for only four years, was killed at the age of 23 because of his participation in the "Longwen Chiding" weightlifting activity.
The time for the unification of the six kingdoms of Qin was also postponed for a long time, if it were not for this reason, King Wu of Qin, who was brave and ruthless, and had military experience and participated in the destruction of the two countries of Bashu, would definitely use troops against the six eastern countries after King Qin Hui.
Seeing that the two of them were a little hesitant, Liu Zhi also smiled, they definitely can't hold up this boulder, it's not impossible to try, but in order to show the difference, if you can't lift it, then you can push it well, and it's not bad to push, if only one of the two can push it, then the winner will already be known, if both of them can push it, then it's better to see who pushes it farther.
Liu Zhi's suggestion can be said to have come at the right time, Luo Shixin looked at Fang Xingtian, stood up first, and said, "Sir, I'll come first!" ”
The onlookers were not very optimistic about the two of them when they saw this boulder before, and their expectations had been lowered a lot, although Liu Zhi lowered the specifications to push instead of lifting, but being able to push the boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties was also quite remarkable, so they also gave warm encouragement after Luo Shixin stood up.
"General Luo is good, we all support you!"
The soldiers didn't know who shouted, but everyone shouted.
Liu Zhi lost his mind for a moment, and almost shouted the word "come on", but this word was naturally not invented in the Sui Dynasty, so they probably couldn't understand it here!
Luo Shixin glanced back at the soldier and unfastened the soft armor on his chest, at this critical juncture, he needed to let his body relax as much as possible, and wear less clothes if he could, so that the restraint on his body would be minimal, which would be more conducive to his activities.
Soon, Luo Shixin almost took off most of his clothes, leaving only a sleeveless hexagram on his upper body, revealing the muscles on his arms.
Liu Zhi paid special attention to his deltoid muscle, the deltoid muscle, also known as the tiger head muscle, is located in the area where the shoulder arm and shoulder blade meet, this muscle is a symbol of strength, the more developed the muscle, the more powerful the person, so the amazing strength of the military generals in history basically has wider shoulders, which is the consequence of exercising the deltoid muscle.
Luo Shixin spat in the palm of his hand, then rubbed it vigorously, and slowly walked to the boulder.
This boulder is not spherical, so it must take a lot of effort to push it.
Luo Shixin let out a low roar, stretched out a pair of strong and powerful arms, propped them on both sides of the boulder, lowered his body, and kicked his legs hard, trying to move forward.
"Ahh
There was silence around, and the soldiers' hearts were very nervous, not knowing if he could succeed, but at this moment, the boulder finally loosened a little, and Luo Shixin yelled, "Get up!" ”
With a great deal of force poured into his hands, he pushed forward violently, and the boulder slid forward for a distance, but the beads of sweat on Luo Shixin's head were dense and fell like raindrops, and the boulder could no longer move forward after sliding forward for a distance, no matter how much strength he used, even his two feet were too strong and sunk deep into the ground.
In the end, Luo Shixin still chose to give up, his arm was sore, and he couldn't feel the slightest strength, and it was estimated that there would be no effect if he pushed it any further, so it was better to choose to give up directly.
Luo Shixin pulled his two feet out of the pit, looked at the boulder, and then looked at the traces of the boulder moving on the ground, and shook his head first, obviously he himself was also very dissatisfied with this result.
Immediately, a soldier ran up and measured, "One foot three inches!" ”
The results of the explosion made everyone feel very sorry, a divine power of Luo Shixin actually only pushed this boulder more than a foot away, which shows that this boulder is indeed too heavy.
"Xingtian, it's your turn!"
Liu Zhi glanced at Luo Shixin and saw that the expression on his face was very lost, while Fang Xingtian looked eager to try.
Fang Xingtian walked out, he stretched out his body and did a few stretching movements to get his body moving.
Fang Xingtian noticed the weight of this boulder and knew that it would be difficult to push it if he didn't do his best, and Luo Shixin was too nervous before, his muscles were tense, and he couldn't use his full strength, otherwise his results would not be just this level.
"Okay, huh? The action is quite beautiful, but I don't know how strong it is! ”
"Yes, I think he is not as good as our General Luo, General Luo can at least push the boulder more than a foot away, this kid looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how much strength can he have, I see, he can't even move!"
Most of the soldiers of the Sui army have been in contact with Luo Shixin, and they also have a good relationship with him on weekdays, and Luo Shixin is very lenient when he is a general, so the soldiers are also close to him.
After Fang Xingtian finished his activities, he walked in front of the boulder.
Liu Zhi had also learned martial arts, he really learned it from Guan Yu and Dian Wei when he crossed the Three Kingdoms World, so he could obviously feel it at this time that the momentum on Fang Xingtian's body was skyrocketing, every step he took, the momentum on his body became more vigorous, and when he took five steps, his momentum had reached its peak, just waiting to burst out.
Luo Shixin's momentum was actually not strong before, maybe he didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he was congenitally weaker in terms of momentum, but Fang Xingtian knew that his strength was not bad with him, and even stronger than him, so since he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it, so he would be so confident.
Among the bystanders, Luo Cheng was also a good martial artist, and he naturally saw the difference between the two in the handling of this matter, so he shook his head and seemed to believe that Luo Shixin had lost.
"Ahh
Suddenly, Fang Xingtian burst out and shouted, pushing forward with both hands, and the boulder moved with it, and the boulder of tens of thousands of catties dragged out a long trace on the ground, and was pushed out by him.
Rumble!
There was a commotion in the crowd, everyone was extremely shocked, in their eyes, Fang Xingtian was not favored, but they didn't expect his strength to be so great, such a heavy boulder was pushed out more than ten zhang away.
Liu Zhi walked over and saw that Fang Xingtian had stopped, sweating profusely and panting, obviously using up his strength and no longer able to move forward.
So he commanded the soldiers: "Measure the distance!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers hurriedly ran up with their tools.
Fang Xingtian walked back covered in sweat, even if he didn't need to measure, just from the visual point of view, he could intuitively feel that he was definitely farther than Luo Shixin's push.
"Sir, General Fang has pushed a total of five feet, three feet and two inches!"
The results of the soldiers' tests announced the results of this competition without any suspense.
Luo Shixin walked up to Fang Xingtian a little dejectedly and said to him: "It's me who lost, you're good, very good!" ”
Fang Xingtian was not proud, but replied: "I'm nothing, my senior brother is even more powerful than me!" ”
Luo Shixin was a little curious and asked, "Who is your senior brother?" ”
Fang Xingtian's eyes were full of painful and beautiful memories, and he said in a light tone: "He's just a poor person!" ”
Seeing that he was reluctant to elaborate, Luo Shixin did not continue to ask.
At this time, I saw Liu Zhi open his arms and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "Everyone, everyone be quiet, listen to me!" ”
The discussion on the field gradually quieted down, and Liu Zhi saw that everyone was quiet, so he raised his breath and said: "I have also watched the first two games of this competition, but I have not made any comments, but today's competition has aroused my thinking, and I will now share some of my thinking experiences with you!" ”
Everyone seemed even quieter now, holding their breath one by one, to see what Liu Zhi was going to explain.
"General Fang and General Luo's last competition, I gave them an almost impossible task, that is, to lift this boulder weighing tens of thousands of catties, the two generals also know the importance of it, there is no big support, this is very worthy of affirmation, this is like fighting on the battlefield, knowing that it can't be done, then don't force it, but since the boulder can't be lifted, why can't you try to push it down? So things are all about turning around, so you have to be improvised! ”
Everyone was thoughtful, and Liu Zhi continued: "General Luo knew that he was not capable in front of the boulder, so he lost for a while in terms of momentum, so he only pushed more than a foot long when he exerted his strength!" ”
Luo Shixin has been thinking about why he lost so obviously this time, even if his strength is really different from Fang Xingtian, it will not be so big, Liu Zhi's words made him realize his problem, it turned out that he was timid, and he was a head shorter in momentum at the beginning, which was much inferior to the other party.
And the same boulder was placed in front of Fang Xingtian, he had already seen Luo Shixin push it, although it was only a foot away, but this told him that this boulder could be pushed, not immovable, so Fang Xingtian would have a bottom in his heart, so he was 100% sure that he would definitely be able to push it, so he had more advantages in momentum, and finally pushed the boulder, and pushed it so far. Why is that? This is to take history as a mirror, to regard others as their own mirrors, such a situation can also be used in marching and fighting, since ancient times, the art of war has been passed down, we read the art of war, what are we reading, is that text, that kind of thought? Maybe yes or maybe not, but familiar with the art of war, familiar with the essence of those predecessors after countless failures and successes, so that we will not be at a loss in the face of the same thing, we can learn from the practices of the ancients, we can also summarize the gains and losses of the ancients to get our own experience, this is a kind of reference! ”
Everyone lowered their heads at this time, thinking about the deep meaning of Liu Zhi's words, and Luo Shixin couldn't understand what Liu Zhi said at this time because he didn't read much.
Liu Zhi saw that he was looking left and right, knowing that he was distracted, he was amused, walked over, and said to him: "Shixin, do you think with my strength, can I push this boulder?" ”
Luo Shixin looked at Liu Zhi with a suspicious expression, then at the boulder, and shook his head.
"Mr. Liu, you are a military advisor and a literati, our boss said that literati are just some sour Confucians, and you can't push such a boulder!"
"It's powerless!"
Liu Zhi couldn't help but correct, "Don't underestimate people first, I do seem to be a little weak, but you generals have the methods of your generals, and we literati have shortcuts for our literati, so I need you to keep your eyes open and take a good look!" ”
Liu Zhi was going to push the boulder, this news was like having wings, and it quickly spread among the onlookers, and soon spread ten, ten, hundred, and spread throughout the entire camp, and gradually more and more soldiers rushed over, wanting to see with their own eyes how Liu Zhi was going to push the 10,000-ton boulder!
Liu Zhi said to Luo Cheng at this time: "General Luo, can you lend me a hundred people?" ”
Luo Cheng was a little strange, he didn't know what Liu Zhi was borrowing people to do, could it be that he wanted to join forces to promote this boulder? Can that still be considered a one-man job?
However, although he was strange in his heart, he did not show it, nor did he ask too much.
With a wave of his hand, he transferred out a hundred soldiers and handed them to Liu Zhi.
After Liu Zhi instructed this group of soldiers for a while, the soldiers all had puzzled expressions on their faces, not knowing why he wanted them to prepare these things, but they didn't ask much, and hurriedly went down to prepare things, and then the onlookers felt more and more mysterious, I don't know what kind of medicine Liu Zhi sells in the gourd!
