Chapter 22: The Dream Returns
Back in the academy's dormitory, Wright sat cross-legged on the bed and entered into deep meditation.
Meditation, in fact, is the consumption of mental power, the deeper the degree of meditation, the faster the consumption, the exercise of mental power is actually no different from the exercise of muscles, meditation is equivalent to strenuous exercise and weight-bearing, every time to break through their own limits, and then rely on natural recovery to consolidate this breakthrough.
Now Wright's spiritual power has reached the fourth level, and he can be called an intermediate magician, and the speed of his mental power consumption is also considerable, and soon his own spiritual power will be consumed, and then he will naturally lie down and use the simplest way to restore his mental power ----- sleep.
Wright snapped open his eyes and found that he was no longer in dormitory 17 of the academy!
He seemed to be standing in a small courtyard, which surprised him a little, he was obviously lying on the bed in the dormitory, and he didn't feel that someone had moved to change his position.
The layout of the yard is simple and simple, with red bricks and white tiles, and a few small trees with slender branches.
This style is not different from the courtyard decoration style of the Northland commoners that I have seen, but it is also not like any style I have seen in the books I have seen in the academy that introduce various places.
The sun above his head shone warmly on him, and there were no other superfluous buildings in the whole courtyard except for a lonely house and a well, and the ground behind the house was planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and they all looked like they were edible!
There was a small forest on one side of the courtyard, and Wright faintly heard some sounds, so he walked up quickly, and saw an old man teaching a young man martial arts that looked like himself from a distance! Wright breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he had entered that strange dream again, and not been kidnapped! The old man himself had actually seen it several times, and if the most he saw in his dream was the man with a face very similar to himself, followed by his parents and the old man who taught martial arts.
On the other side, the old man in his seventies looked very heroic, his eyebrows were erect, and although his facial skin was a little loose, his flesh and bones were full, and his eyes were blazing. You can vaguely see a bit of the unique awe-inspiring momentum of a martial artist.
At this moment, the old man was teaching the young man in front of him his own boxing techniques.
"Xiao Lizi, since the army handed you over to me, then I will train you well, but you have to know that to learn boxing, you have to have a heart, know why you learn boxing, why you swing boxing. If you don't have a heart, then you must at least have a devout heart for martial arts and boxing. I look at you now, just learning boxing for the sake of learning boxing, and if you continue to do so for a long time, you will definitely not get the true transmission! ”
The young man seemed to want to refute, but he opened his mouth but had nothing to say, and the old man did not pay any attention to it, and said to himself.
"I'll only say these words once, I'll teach you boxing, but it's up to you how you learn it!"
"The boxing method I taught was Xingyi Five Elements Boxing. It is rumored to be created by the ancestor of Chen Zhuan in the Song Dynasty, of course, who created it is meaningless to us, we learn to boxing, inheritance is the art of killing, not to study the origin of boxing, that is a historian's business. ”
"Xingyi boxing, with the three-body pose as the foundation of the method, also known as the standing pile, standing pile cultivation can strengthen the body, nourish the spirit of the spirit. It is the source of all the laws of Xingyi Fist and the foundation of all changes. With a solid foundation of pile work, the practice of Xingyi Quan can be strong and fast, inside and outside the six, to achieve 'immovable as the five mountains, moving as a cunning rabbit'. On the contrary, without a solid foundation of pile work, no matter how much Xingyi Quan routines are learned, no matter how deep the effort is, it is still a castle in the air, and it is on paper. ”
While speaking, at the same time, the old man put on a peculiar posture, his hands naturally drooped, his head was on the top, his chin was slightly closed, his tongue was on top of his palate, his breath was natural, his heart was calm, as if the whole person was integrated into nature, and then he took a deep breath, and then slowly lifted the roots of his palms from both sides of his body to the root of his lower abdomen, and sucked people with his breath, and slowly lifted his palms against his lower abdomen, lifted to the same time as his chest, and then slowly exhaled the breath of the inhaler, and with the exhaled breath, the two hands slowly fell to both sides of the navel according to the original upward route, and the legs were slightly bent at the same time. The two palms become fists, the heart of the fist is upward, the two fists stop slightly, the left fist starts from the navel, and walks up to the heart along the midline with the tiger's mouth, and the left fist is punched forward, and the nose is diagonally upwards to the height and eyebrows, the tiger's mouth is turned outward, and then the fist is turned inward and falls to the chest, and the palm is down. At the same time as the left fist is punched outward, the left foot also takes half a step forward, the right hand becomes a palm, and the palm flips downward, and the whole action is from dynamic to static.
The boy who learned boxing looked at a set of movements, as if the whole person was immersed in it and felt the unique charm.
Wright on the side was also a little dumbfounded, many times in the dream world to see the man fighting or practicing boxing, learning or observing many boxing techniques, but none of them can be compared with this set of postures of this old man. Objectively speaking, this set of boxing techniques is not difficult, and the power is even greater, but it naturally gives birth to an endless rhythm, just by observing and feeling this rhythm, Wright even feels that his spiritual power is touched and improved.
Seeing the appearance of the young man who practiced boxing immersed in the rhythm of this boxing method, the old man smiled with satisfaction. When the boy gradually got rid of this rhythm, he waved his hand and said, "You need to practice more boxing techniques and persevere, with your talent, it is still very possible to reach this state within ten years." ”
"The three-body pose is the foundation of Xingyi Quan and can be used to strengthen the body. But just because of his strong physique, he is like an old cow, no matter how strong he is, he can't beat a hungry wolf. ”
"Xingyi boxing's fighting method, there are Xingyi five elements boxing and twelve shapes, of which the twelve shapes are to learn to imitate the dragon (crocodile), tiger, monkey, horse, dragon, chicken, swallow, harrier, snake, bird, eagle, bear and other twelve creatures of the form, derived from the boxing method, but I am not very good at this vein!"
"In our vein, what we are good at is the Five Elements Boxing. The so-called Five Elements Boxing refers to the five major boxing methods of splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal. ”
"Among them, the shape of the splitting fist is similar to an axe, the sex is golden, and the fist is actually a palm split, and the fist is a great success, and a palm down is the concrete wall board and the ground can also plow a crack; The shape of the collapse fist is like an arrow, the sex is wood, sensitive and fast, and the half-step collapse fist can be called an extreme in boxing. It is similar to the artistic conception of Wing Chun in the movie "Ip Man" that you young people watched; The shape of the drill fist is like a cone, the sex is water, the fist method is feminine, and it is pervasive; The shape of the cannon fist is like a cannon, and the sex is fire, which is the most pure and powerful of the five fist methods; The shape of the horizontal fist resembles a beam, the sex belongs to the soil, and the drip that can be prevented is not leaky, and it is the basis of the four major fist methods. ”
"According to the theory of the five elements, horizontal boxing can give birth to split boxing, split boxing can give birth to drill boxing, drilling boxing can give birth to collapse boxing, collapse boxing can give birth to cannon boxing, and cannon boxing can give birth to horizontal boxing. Among them, the horizontal fist belongs to the soil, and the soil can nourish, so with the horizontal fist as the core, the other four major fist methods can be derived. By the theory of the five elements of mutual restraint, the split fist can overcome the collapse fist, the collapse fist can overcome the horizontal fist, the horizontal fist can overcome the drill fist, the drill fist can overcome the cannon fist, the cannon fist can overcome the split fist, and the five elements of the fist are mutually restrictive, of which the horizontal fist is the basis. "Maybe I think that the boy who learns boxing has not even practiced the three-body pose, and he only needs a little understanding at the moment, but at the moment the old man is just talking in generalities, and there is no specific explanation of the boxing moves, and the young man is just 'I don't understand, but I think it's very powerful!' However, with the previous three-body foundation, he also listened very attentively, which made the old man quite satisfied.
And Wright, who was watching from the side, thought completely differently, most of the boxing techniques he learned in his dreams in the past five years were scattered with one move, and he pieced together a set of boxing techniques many times, according to the old man, it should be 'fire cannon fist', or close to the 'cannon fist' fist remnants, in addition to some scattered moves should belong to 'horizontal fist'. It seems that the boy in the dream realm will use these two fist techniques more in future battles!
The simple explanation of the old man's department only gives a slight impression on the teenagers who are learning boxing, laying the foundation for future learning. As for Wright, who has already seen the boy's future fighting in his dreams, and has pieced together most of the 'cannon fists' from these processes, there is a kind of high-level strategy, and many omissions and incomprehensions suddenly become clear.
Next, the old man began to instruct the young man to practice horizontal boxing step by step, but Wright felt that everything around him gradually became blurred, and then his eyes were white.
"Ha, ha, hum!" Wright woke up from his sleep, but his eyes shone with surprise.
This time the dream helped me too much. Originally, in the past five years, Wright cobbled together a set of boxing methods, and originally in Wright's view, the main body of boxing has been close to perfection, or with his current level, the boxing structure has approached perfection, and some omissions on the branches and leaves only need to be practiced all year round and rely on water grinding kung fu to modify slightly.
But this time, I just listened to the old man's explanation, but I found that it was my own boxing technique, but it was still far behind. Many places can be modified, and there is an old man's high-level explanation, if you fall asleep again, it will be more pertinent to watch the man's boxing skills! I have a lot of confidence in copying the 'cannon fist' and 'horizontal fist'.
