Chapter 11: Rhythm

"Brother Chao, let's practice two tricks, so I can explain it to them!"

So Li Chen and the two families each held a wooden knife and shook it to each other.

"Brother Chao, you can attack me at will first."

"You three can take a closer look!" After Li Xing finished talking to Chen Chao, he didn't forget to call the children who were watching.

"Here we go!" Chen Chao heard Li Xing's greeting, and casually slashed Huashan and greeted him. When the knife reached his body, he didn't see how Li Xing moved, and the attacking knife was far away, and Chen Chao was caught off guard and almost lost his center of gravity.

"What kind of move is this?" Chen Chao asked in shock.

"I'll talk about it later, get ready, I'll try your trick this time!" After Li Xing waited for Chen Chao to defend slightly, he attacked the opponent's chest with a move 'Poisonous Dragon Devouring Heart'.

This is like a black tiger digging out the heart in boxing, an extremely ordinary one-move attack. Chen Chao looked at the situation and judged the right time to swing his knife. But unexpectedly, nine out of ten were a steady block, and a knife missed, Chen Chao caught a glimpse of the tip of the opponent's knife and attacked straight to the chest of the hole, and couldn't help but retreat backwards in shock.

Li Xing watched Chen Chao retreat in a hurry with satisfaction, but he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but said to the three people who were watching: "Come, get closer, and then we will explain the situation just now in slow motion." ”

Li Xing explained while demonstrating with Chen Chao in slow motion: "In the first move, when the knife attack reaches a certain position, after judging the timing, I only use my wrist to exert force, and click the tip of the knife on the back of the incoming knife, and easily disperse the incoming knife momentum. Although the wrist is not strong but better than agile, with the click on the surface of this has the effect of four or two dialing a thousand pounds, grasp the opportunity to be weak to overcome the strong, to win quickly. ”

"The second move, at first, my speed was very fast, but if you look closely, you can see that it is only a short time faster and then quietly slows down. I used my wrists, joints, back, waist, tendons, etc., to collect a small amount of force and momentum at the same time. ”

"This makes it easy for the opponent to make mistakes in judgment, if the opponent blocks too quickly, I will take advantage of the opponent's miss, and burst the force and momentum that I have previously retracted and can hurt the enemy, as you just saw. If the opponent is a little slower, I can explode the force and potential of the retraction in advance, and the opponent will also be very passive. ”

"Can you understand the essence of these two tricks?" Li Xing asked the people who could listen to it.

The crowd was so fascinated that they didn't know how to answer for a while. Although Chen Chao felt a little, as an adult, he was afraid of answering wrong, so he could only pretend to be profound. Chen Long and Chen Hu lowered their heads and pondered, while Li Wen scratched his head and frowned, wanting to open his mouth but blocking it, as if he felt something in his eyes and couldn't speak.

After a while, Li Wencai said, "Yes??? Yes, when? No, it should be time??? Occasion? ”

Li Xing looked at his son with approval and said, "To be precise, it's 'rhythm'." Although the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken, but if you do it fast, others can also do it fast, unless you have a special method and special talent, it is difficult to win simply by being fast! However, the 'rhythm' can be obtained by control, and it is easy for everyone to master, and making good use of the 'rhythm' is more labor-saving and more effective than pursuing 'fast'. ”

"The word 'rhythm' sounds simple, but when you think about it, it's wonderful." Li Xing spoke up, and Ai'er was also listening, and he couldn't help but spit out what was hidden in his heart.

So, Li Xing gushed endlessly:

"Everything in the world has the word 'rhythm' implicitly. For example, when planting rice, it is necessary to soak the seeds on the right day, plant the seedlings on the right day, apply the corresponding fertilizer at different growth stages, and apply potassium fertilizer instead of sodium fertilizer when heading. If the rhythm is right and the weather is right, this will have a good harvest. ”

"To make it simple, such as stir-frying, you also have to master the rhythm of when to heat fiercely, when to simmer, when to add salt, etc., so that you can make a good dish."

"As for the music, it is even more important to pay attention to the rhythm, the same notes, only when the rhythm is good can you play beautiful music. Even if it is as simple as beating a war drum, there is no rhythm, and a random drumming is even if you beat the earth-shattering sound, but it has no effect on raising morale, and maybe, the sergeant in front has the urge to turn around and beat you up. ”

"Planting rice is a lot of time, and it should be in season." There are people next to me who have questions.

"Isn't timing just a point in the rhythm! Like music, Heaven composes the life of the rice into a movement and places it in the seed. The sun, the earth, the wind, the water, the fertilizer, etc., are the instruments that play this music of life. The instruments must be in unison, and the rhythm must be right in order to play this gorgeous music of life. Li Xing explained.

"Isn't life also rhythmic!" Li Xing's tone changed, and he asked with a smile: "Wen'er, do you know what your life rhythm is doing at this time?" ”

"Yes. It's learning to read words. Li Wen thought of tomorrow's enlightenment, and his eyes lit up and said.

After Li Xing was satisfied, he asked again: "Long Chen, you are sixteen this year, so what is your rhythm?" ”

"This."

"It's time to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby!" Chen Chao next to him blurted out.

"Hehe, super brother, you are in a hurry to be a grandfather!"

"Marrying a daughter-in-law is barely a thing, but marrying a daughter-in-law is a long time stage, it is not too late from 18 to 32 years old, don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to do something more meaningful first."

Li Xing said to Chen Chao, who was rubbing his hands and smiling awkwardly: "Chen Long should be allowed to get in touch with the outside world more and open his eyes." Experience the next world, so that he can confirm the various knowledge and experience that he had been taught by his husband before, and what he had taken for granted in the book. It's time to establish his own mindset, so that he can lay a good foundation for the 'rhythm' in the future, otherwise it will be easy for him to live a dull life. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Xing!" Chen Long thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, let's get down to business, let's talk about martial arts. The first move just now is because I have mastered the rhythm of the opponent and myself, and the second move is to mess up the rhythm of the opponent, so it will have such a good effect on the enemy. Li Xing went on to say his reasoning: "But in the second move, I can easily hurt the other party." Therefore, it is much better to deal with the enemy and mess with its rhythm than to master its rhythm. ”

Li Xing suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Chao and asked, "Do you remember the Xiucai surnamed Meng in the city?" ”

"Remember, didn't Meng Xiucai open a 'kindergarten class' in the city now, I heard that the business is quite hot." Chen Chao said: "Didn't you talk to him very well before? He said that he was very insightful about the affairs of some countries. ”

"I haven't been in a relationship with him in four years! It was when Wen'er was more than four years old that he had the idea of opening a 'kindergarten class' to teach those children who had not yet reached the age of enlightenment to read and write, and asked me to entrust Wen'er to him to teach, saying 'don't let your child lose at the starting line'. ”

"I spat on him at the time. Isn't this going to disrupt the rhythm of my family's Wen'er's life? Li Xing is still angry when he talks about the past, "When it is full of childlike fun, it is necessary to let children fantasize and play with curiosity." It's a fart to let them sit there and memorize that dead knowledge too early! ”

"Just because it is easy for children to lose their freedom, Meng Xiucai has already made 99% of the children lose at the starting line. But then his business became more and more prosperous, which made me speechless. I asked all the parents in the world: Can pulling seedlings really help grow? ”

Not to mention that the men of the Li and Chen families were discussing martial arts in the martial arts field, Chen Fenglan came to her mother's side, and after recounting the experience she had just had in the martial arts arena, she was quite worried and asked: "Daddy seems to be very angry, will he punish me later?" ”

"Is there really a bag that grows that tall?" Her mother asked, gesturing with her hand and smiling.

"Don't be afraid, it's a martial arts competition, and the sword won't have long eyes. Who called him inferior to others! This is also the fate of the toad who wants to eat swan meat. Speaking of this, she snorted softly and then complained to herself: "If Li Wen of his family can't recover his health, don't burden yourself and others, and hinder the good future of my family Fenglan." Anyone who is interested should consciously propose to dissolve the marriage. Your dad is really right, he promised this family business without my nod! ”

At lunch time, the two heads of the family and the four children were already sitting around the dining table, waiting for the servants to serve the dishes. After a morning of activity, it's time to treat your stomach.

At this time, the hostess of the Chen family stepped into the hall with two bottles of home-stored wine, and saw two large and one small swollen bags on Li Wen's forehead, and the word 'shining' flashed through her mind.

Seeing her husband's blaming gaze and Li Xing's slightly embarrassed expression, Chen's wife also knew that she was rude, she half-covered her mouth and forced a smile to Li Xing and said, "Brother Xing, hehe, these two bottles of wine are treasures that my family has recently collected, wait a minute to drink them." I'm going to serve you a few more good dishes, hehe! Before he could finish speaking, he turned and walked away.

"Brother Xing, don't be angry! She didn't mean anything else, she just couldn't get used to it! Chen Chao looked at the lady who left with a smile, and said worriedly.

"I know! You don't have to worry too much, Li Wen, this kid has long stopped paying attention to other people's strange eyes, you look at his gluttony, how can he take this matter to heart. Li Xing pointed to his son, who was staring at the dishes on the table with a greedy face, and comforted the other party.

"Well, let's not mention the unpleasant things. Later, our brothers will have a good taste of this 'Sangluo wine', which is a private treasure that I have just acquired. After Chen Chao touched the two bottles of wine on the table, he became enthusiastic and talked about his mulberry wine.

"In the Tang Dynasty, this mulberry wine was all court wine. This wine is more tender than the cold syrup, fragrant with manna Yongchun', since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the world's celebrities and scholars more respect this wine, there is Liu Yuxi's poem "I don't know the mulberry wine, who is pouring this year" as evidence. There is a cloud in the "History of Wine": "Sangluo wine, there is a well in Sangluo Fang in the river, every time Sangluo falls, take its greetings, and make wine with well water." ”

"This mulberry wine must be made from well water, and my two bottles of wine are made from the spring water of the most famous 'Yulu Spring' in Pusaka, the origin of Sangluo. It is said that the two bottles were brewed in a very good vintage, and that the Gyokuro spring water was even sweeter and more moisturizing than in previous years. So this wine is the best of the best, wait for you and me to drink a few more glasses! ”

Listening to Chen Chao's recommendation, Li Xing's stomach gradually grew a wine worm, and he was also eagerly looking forward to the official start of the dinner like a son.

Before long, the banquet began, and everyone began to feast. Chen Chao saluted Li Xing with a glass of wine and said with deep admiration: "Brother Xing, the martial arts you just mentioned is more important, and the more I think about it, the more I feel it." How did you get such a profound experience? ”

"Hmm! Wine! Wine! This is mellow, smooth and moisturizing. That mellow, warm stomach but not spicy stomach. The mellow fragrance is obtained, and the beauty of the lingering fragrance is indeed different. This mulberry wine is worthy of the name of tribute wine, and these two bottles of wine are indeed the best of the best! ”

"Let me taste it one more!" Li Xing wanted to talk about martial arts, but he couldn't help but praise the wine that had just been tasted first.

A sip of sake into the stomach made a martial artist like Li Xing resist not talking about martial arts experience first, but to taste more wine, it seems that this mulberry wine is indeed worthy of its name.

(It's a pity that the Sangluo wine production method has been lost since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not imitated until 1979 that it was imitated again. )
