Chapter 4: Training in the Sanctuary
Chapter 4: National Arts! training
On the training ground of the Golden Saint Seiya candidates of the new generation of the Zodiac in the Holy Domain, the twelve teenagers were sweating like rain, and they were cultivating extremely hard. On the high platform not far away, the Silver Saint Seiya, who was supposed to supervise them, was wandering the world, and only when the teenagers had questions about it, he would patiently answer the teenagers' questions, other than that, he was more like an ornament, a sculpture.
The teenagers are doing their own training hard, some of them are doing pull-ups with boulders on their shoulders, their faces do not change and their hearts do not beat; Some of them leap in the middle of the sandbags, fast as ghosts; Some are hitting the stone wall with a pair of meat fists, and the loud sound of "bang bang bang" is endless......
The teenagers are working hard to train themselves, according to their own characteristics and fighting styles, training their strength, agility, physical strength, or physical strength.
This is not strange, even if the teenagers have comprehended the fifth sense of the small universe, but the strength of the physical body is indeed far from the standard, there is no body that is strong enough to pervert, no matter how powerful your small universe is, it can't be fully exerted, and it is even very possible to collapse your body when the small universe erupts too violently during the battle.
However, among the twelve teenagers, there was a teenager with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes who did behave completely differently from the others, and even said that he was out of place.
The boy stood in a strange posture, never making any big movements, just standing quietly. That's right, this teenager is Wang Junlin, who has just joined in, and compared with other teenagers, it seems so abrupt and unusual. However, if you think that he is only standing, or even lazy, you are very wrong.
At this time, if there is a person who understands the art of the country here, he must be able to see at a glance that Wang Junlin is standing on a pile. Standing pile, but the foundation of the national arts, the so-called "before learning boxing, first squatting for three years", it can be seen the importance of standing pile.
Standing piles is a basic training unique to Guoshu, and it is a major feature that distinguishes Guoshu from other fighting techniques. Looking at other fighting techniques, they basically focus on the increase of muscle strength and the training of the external body, and the training method is nothing more than weight-bearing exercises, etc., in order to strengthen the physique for use in fighting, which is the so-called "external strength"; The national martial arts focus more on "internal adjustment", that is, the adjustment of internal mechanisms and the formation of exertional habits, and pay attention to maximizing the use of inherent body energy. To put it more bluntly, most of the other fighters are mostly strong and explosive, while the master of Guoshu is often not very strong, but under one blow, the attack power is extremely strong, which is the difference between the two.
Any national art, all the standing pile as a basic training, even 70% of the time will be placed on the pile, and then on the basis of the pile to test the force, walking, force, some are to stand pile as a deepening training, the pile into life, sitting, walking, and even sleeping are all in the pile.
There are many genres of standing piles, such as standing piles, sitting piles, lying piles, and lying piles.
What Wang Junlin is standing on is the Liangyi pile, which is the foundation pile of Bajiquan.
Wang Junlin stood with his legs straddling, standing in a horse step, his body was slightly sitting, his feet were parallel, his toes were slightly buckled, and he was firmly clasped to the ground; The right hand is held as an open fist, that is, the five fingers are clasped together, the tiger's mouth is rounded, the heart of the fist is in the form of a pass, the Lao Gong acupoint is upward, the elbow is bent, and it is placed above the chest and under the cheeks; The left hand is also clenched into an open fist, the Lao Gong acupoint is downward, and the elbow is bent on the side of the breast under the chest; The wrists of both hands are buckled inward, and the big and small arms are bent and the shoulders are supported at three points, the extension line of the shoulders and back is supported, the spine and hips are extended to support the garden, and the crotch is slightly buckled inward; The whole body stands upright, the elbows are strong, steady and free, and the mind is free of distractions.
Correspondingly, Wang Junlin's breathing is also very particular, which is the "abdominal deep breathing method" in the national arts, which is not only for the nose to inhale and exhale, but also to inhale and exhale slowly, to guard the bottom of the sea, to move around the body, the abdomen is solid and the chest is smooth, the two kidneys are full, and the spirit is the same.
However, Wang Junlin is not completely motionless, if someone looks closely, they will find that his body is slightly lying together, like a breeze blowing the lake water, and the water waves are slightly churning. This one volt is also very particular, and between every slight ups and downs, Wang Junlin will keep changing the center of gravity of his whole body. In this way, not only can he exercise every part of his body, but also avoid damage to the body caused by the center of gravity always falling in one place.
Wang Junlin's eyes are looking ahead, his vision is broad, his mind is empty, and he enjoys the vitality of nature. In this way, his mood will be relaxed and he will not feel too tired.
That's it, all day long, Wang Junlin was standing on the two yi piles, and other than that, he didn't do any other physical exercises. It's just that every hour that passes, he takes a ten-minute break.
During dinner, Mirรณ leaned over and asked a strange question, "Hey, man, what are you doing today?" Do you practice any special tricks? โ
"Where do I get so many tricks, I'm just standing on the stake and polishing the foundation." Wang Junlin shrugged his shoulders and replied casually: "In our country, if you want to practice martial arts, you must first stand on the pile. This is the foundation, only when the pile gong stands well, can the kung fu be practiced deeply. โ
"Kung Fu? I know, Huaguo's kung fu is very powerful, right......" Garon didn't know when he leaned over, as soon as he heard Wang Junlin's words, he couldn't help jumping up and down, and his mouth was "humming haha" and screaming non-stop, like a big horse monkey.
"Please, don't insult our national arts, okay?" Wang Junlin glared at Garon angrily, and an inexplicable urge to kick him to death surged in his heart.
"Am I not practicing correctly? Junlin, don't you want to lie to me, I've also been to your country, and I've seen your people practice like this, I think it's very good. Garon was still unconscious, and he kept gesturing and gesturing.
Wang Junlin really didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, but turned his head to look at Miro and asked, "What?" Miro, is there something wrong? Isn't it possible for us to arrange our own practice? โ
"Well, man, I don't think there's anything wrong with you doing that." Miro spread his hands and said with some suspicion: "It's just that your cultivation method will really have an effect?" โ
"Of course." Wang Junlin nodded confidently.
Garon finally stopped his ugly performance, and said in a rare seriousness: "Junlin, I also think Miro's concern is justified. Although your Huaguo's kung fu is very cool, it is indeed much worse in terms of actual combat power. Although, when we really become Saint Seiya, we will have exclusive skills for the guardian constellation, but that needs to explode into a small universe. A lot of the time, we need to rely on our fists and kicks to fight, and we can't do it without a strong body. โ
"Will the actual combat power of the national art be poor?" The corners of Wang Junlin's mouth curled slightly, but he didn't bother to explain to the two, because he knew that all verbal explanations were pale, and he really had to rely on reality to speak.
Between talking and laughing, everyone finished dinner, which was also a rare rest time of the day.
After dinner, night has fallen, the sky is full of stars, and the constellations are shining, outlining a mysterious, vast and endless picture.
As the twelve teenagers who are candidates for the Golden Saint Seiya, the night is not for sleeping, but to comprehend the small universe with their hearts and deepen their understanding of the small universe, in order to comprehend the sixth sense of the small universe as soon as possible, and even higher. Only by comprehending the sixth sense of the small universe can they be regarded as having the initial qualifications to become the Golden Saint Seiya. And only by comprehending the seventh sense of the small universe can you truly become a Golden Saint Seiya.
In this way, since the day he became a candidate for the Golden Saint Seiya, Wang Junlin has been standing on the Liangyi pile during the day and comprehending the small universe at night. Time passed day by day, one day, two days, three days...... Until a month later.
During this period, it was not that no one persuaded Wang Junlin, such as Miro, Garon, Aiolos and other companions, and even the Silver Saint Seiya who installed sculptures every day found him for a deep talk, but Wang Junlin was still the same, still insisting on his own cultivation method. If this continues, maybe the next time I come to talk to Wang Junlin, it will not be the Silver Saint Seiya, I'm afraid it will be replaced by the Pope, right?
Until this day, Wang Junlin's cultivation method during the day finally changed, and he was no longer just an immutable standing two instrument piles.
The eastern sky gradually dawned, the earth was hazy and covered with a light golden veil, Wang Junlin had just finished an hour of Liangyi stake, but he did not sit down to rest and breathe as before, but faced the east, stood upright, and looked ahead, as if he was preparing something.
After a month of standing on the Liangyi pile, Wang Junlin felt that he had laid a certain foundation and could officially start practicing Bajiquan. Although he had successfully comprehended the fifth sense of the small universe and joined the Golden Saint Seiya Training Camp to become a member of the Golden Saint Seiya candidates, Wang Junlin always had a sense of urgency in his heart, and he always felt that the time was too little and completely insufficient, and he was unwilling to delay at all.
The boring Liangyi pile cultivation in the previous month was already the limit of what Wang Junlin could endure, and he couldn't wait to start officially cultivating Bajiquan. However, this month's boring standing Liangyi pile is also indispensable, which is the foundation of Bajiquan, even if he can't stand Liangyi pile boring all day in the future, but standing Liangyi pile for an hour every morning and evening is still essential, and it must be persevered.
Bajiquan originated from the Han "Huainanzi Falling Shape Training" "between heaven and earth, Kyushu Eight Poles", which means "the strength can reach the far places in all directions".
Bajiquan moves to be fierce, unpretentious and fast. In terms of technical attack techniques, it is important to take inch by inch, and to hit hard and open, which has the characteristics of being beaten, helped, squeezed, relied on, collapsed, and shaken.
Bajiquan is exerted on the heels, on the waist, and through the fingertips, so the explosive force is extremely strong and aggressive, and there is a tendency of "shaking the arms and hitting the sky, stomping and shaking Kyushu". Therefore, in the national arts, Bajiquan is known as "Wen has Tai Chi to calm the world, and Wu has eight poles to determine the world".
Since ancient times, those who practice Bajiquan mostly start with the Bajiquan, which is also the basic skill of Bajiquan and an important part of Bajiquan practice.
There are a total of 25 potentials in the octagonal frame, and each potential is an independent move. Different moves and different practice methods. But between the potential, there is a chain of hooks and clever changes.
The golden dragon closes its mouth, turns its body to the right into a right lunge, and rotates with the body, the left forearm bends its elbow and rotates externally, and crosses the flat hug to the right chest, with the fist heart upward; At the same time, press down with your right fist, put your right forearm together on your left forearm, center of your fist down, face your wrists, and look ahead.

Wang Junlin practiced the eight-pole frame one by one, his expression was focused, his posture was stretched, his hands and feet followed, his eyes turned with his hands, his fists and feet were together, and the changes were sudden, his strength was short, and he was both rigid and soft.
After playing a complete set of eight-pole racks, Wang Junlin frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with the drill he had just done, and his strength did not run as expected, reaching every part of his body.
After thinking silently for a long time, Wang Junlin stood up facing the east again, looked ahead, and began to practice the eight-pole frame again, his expression became more and more focused, his posture became more and more stretched, but his movements became extremely slow, and he carefully observed while rehearsing.
After playing a complete set of eight-pole frames, Wang Junlin's slightly frowning brows have not yet been stretched, and he always feels that there is a little difference, and there is a slight gap in artistic conception. But the so-called difference is a thousand miles, and it is this slight gap that makes Wang Junlin never able to do his best and get half the result. This is something that Wang Junlin absolutely cannot bear, and he must find the crux of the problem and correct it.
