Volume 1, Magic Oasis Chapter 12, Practicing Martial Arts
Just three days after Liu Sicheng promised Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue couldn't wait to arrange a martial arts course for Liu Sicheng.
The place where the martial arts are practiced is located in a cave in the back mountain. This cave is about three zhang high, is a limestone karst cave, the entrance of the cave is wide and flat, very suitable for use as a place for practice. The cave is bottomless, a hundred turns and thousands of times, and there is a dark river flowing, which is very mysterious.
Before practicing, you naturally need to change into special practice clothes.
At this time, what Xiao Xue was wearing was a practice uniform made by her own hands. This kind of practice clothing is made of dehydrated rawhide as the material, and the exterior is painted with black lacquer, which is bright and shiny. In order to facilitate the movement of hands and feet, the practice clothes are made to be both tight and short, and the limbs are exposed, which looks very much like modern style patent leather tights.
Of course, Liu Sicheng's practice clothes are also made by Xiaoxue, and the styles of the two are exactly the same, but they are different in height.
Seeing Xiaoxue change into such a tight and charming practice uniform for the first time, and smelling her fresh and elegant body fragrance, Liu Sicheng couldn't help but be a little dazed.
As the name suggests, the little snowman is snow-white all over, and her skin does not leave any traces of sun exposure, which makes Liu Sicheng very surprised. According to common sense, Xiaoxue is not a young lady who does not leave the door, she still needs to work hard every day, why is her complexion so fair?
"Are you wondering why I'm so fair?" Xiaoxue said a word to break Liu Sicheng's careful thoughts.
Liu Sicheng scratched his head and sighed helplessly:
"You've seen it again."
Xiao Xue smiled and was about to explain.
"It's very simple, I'm from ......"
Halfway through the conversation, he was interrupted by Liu Sicheng:
"Stop, stop! Needless to say, just tell me the answer. ”
Xiaoxue shook her head and said frankly:
"Okay. Actually, it's all because I'm different from you. ”
"Race?" Liu Sicheng's mouth opened slightly, raised his hand and pointed at Xiaoxue, and said in confusion.
"Yes." Xiao Xue smiled shyly, slowly lowered her head, gently rubbed the back of her right hand with her left hand, and replied softly, "Because of the race, my skin will be white all over, and there is no trace of sunshine." ”
When it comes to racial differences, could it be that Xiaoxue is Caucasian? But her eyes and hair are black, not like Caucasian features, maybe she has Caucasian blood. Liu Sicheng thought to himself.
This matter will be omitted for the time being. Before starting the lecture, Xiaoxue first gave Liu Sicheng a basic explanation. Just listen to her patiently explain:
"Generally speaking, what we call martial arts is a skill that uses physical skills to achieve confrontation with people. It requires that those who practice martial arts must have good physical fitness. And the martial arts I teach are different from traditional martial arts.
"This martial art is called 'Yishu' and is divided into 'Taiyin Style', 'Shaoyin Style', 'Shaoyang Style' and 'Sun Style'. According to the strength of each person's 'spiritual power' and the different physical carrying capacity, it is decided which form to cultivate. The so-called 'mental power' is the signal that the brain regulates the body. The stronger a person's 'spiritual power', the stronger the potential that will burst out. It's like when people are in crisis, they can easily push their limits through brain adjustment.
"'Taiyin Style' represents 'Extreme Softness', 'Shaoyin Style' represents 'Softness and Rigidity', 'Shaoyang Style' represents 'Rigidity and Softness', and 'Sun Style' represents 'Extreme Rigidity'. According to my own condition, I choose to cultivate the 'Taiyin Style', and your 'Spiritual Power' is 'Rigidity and Softness', so you are suitable for cultivating the 'Shaoyang Style'.
"'Yishu' is different from ordinary martial arts, its 'rigidity' is not achieved through the original strength of the human body, but through 'spiritual power'. The "gang" in 'Yishu' is to use 'spiritual power' to surpass the limits of the human body. Therefore, it does not require martial arts practitioners to have an extremely strong physique, but they must have 'spiritual power' that is different from ordinary people. Your situation fits that very well. Of course, this kind of 'rigidity' achieved through 'mental power' will cause one consequence, that is, over-exceeding the limit will overload the human body, and eventually lead to muscle strain, tendon breakage, and even limb splitting and death. So you can't just abuse it. The "softness" in "Yishu" is to improve the body's body through mental power, and to fight fast and slow, so that the opponent is unable to guard against it.
"Your spiritual power is 'rigid and soft', so the 'Shaoyang Style' you cultivate is mainly through 'spiritual power' to improve your strength and win with strength, and at the same time, give full play to the advantages of your body and make sure that the strong and weak complement each other, which is your development direction. And the 'Taiyin Style' I cultivate is mainly to increase my speed through 'spiritual power' and win by skill, which is very different from your development direction.
"In addition, I would like to state that 'Yishu' is not like ordinary martial arts to pursue the subtlety of moves, its moves are only external appearances, the core of this martial arts emphasizes that martial arts practitioners can flexibly use these basic move combinations in actual combat, so as to form their own unique genre, which requires martial arts practitioners to have intelligent and flexible brains, as well as a sense of not being bound by form." The core of 'Yishu' is 'Yi', and there is a way: soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Emphasis on innovation is a major feature of this martial arts, which can give martial arts practitioners a lot of space to innovate and change freely. ”
This was the first time Liu Sicheng heard Xiaoxue say a long sentence so coherently, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiaoxue noticed Liu Sicheng's eyes at this time, but she spoke a little because she was nervous.
"I ...... Am I confused and make you wonder...... I'm not good at words, and those ...... Do you understand? ”
Seeing Xiaoxue like this, Liu Sicheng couldn't help but laugh a little, and he said with a smile:
"Of course I understand, you said it concisely and thoroughly!"
As he spoke, Liu Sicheng finally laughed.
Xiao Xue was even more ashamed when she heard this, only listening to her whispers, her voice was so weak that it was almost difficult to hear.
"I'm clumsy in words...... Don't laugh at me, I'm a good ......."
Seeing this, Liu Sicheng couldn't help but laugh even more. He took a deep breath, stifled a smile, and explained softly:
"I'm not laughing at you. I just think you're so cute, that's why I can't help but laugh. ”
"Really?" Xiaoxue slowly raised her head and asked softly.
"Of course, if you don't believe me in the eyes, it won't lie." Liu Sicheng pointed to his eyes with his finger and said with a straight face.
Xiaoxue stared at Liu Sicheng's eyes seriously, and after a moment, she laughed.
"I believe in you." Xiao Xue said softly.
Laughter can be contagious, so Liu Sicheng also laughed out loud, and the originally somewhat serious atmosphere suddenly became extremely relaxed. After a while, Xiao Xue continued:
"Actually, the purpose of 'Yishu' is to hone one's inner cultivation, which you need to keep in mind."
"What does that mean?" Liu Sicheng said blankly.
Xiaoxue sorted out the language in her heart, and then explained softly:
"'Yishu' was born from the ancient book "Book of Changes", which naturally conforms to Yili. As the so-called: easy one and contains three meanings, the so-called easy, easy to change, not easy to also. According to personal understanding, applying it to martial arts is the essence of this kung fu. ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Sicheng couldn't help frowning, stretched out his hands and asked Xiaoxue:
"It's so profound! Please also ask Xiaoxue to elaborate on her meaning for me. ”
Xiaoxue nodded and patiently explained:
"In short, everything changes, but there are immutable laws in this change. It is necessary to find the law according to the actual situation, so as to adapt to the changes in the situation, so as to take advantage of the situation and give full play to its own advantages. That's how I understand it. Of course, if you want to use this kung fu well, you need a lot of practice and continuous improvement in practice. ”
"Oh, I see." Liu Sicheng replied.
After that, Xiaoxue taught Liu Sicheng some breathing techniques.
It is very simple, there is no difficulty, Liu Sicheng naturally learns it.
Next, Xiaoxue used a bamboo whip to test Liu Sicheng's reflexes. I saw her pick up a bamboo whip as thick as a little finger, shook it in front of Liu Sicheng, and then explained:
"I'll hit you randomly on the left and right shoulders with a bamboo whip, you try to avoid it."
After that, the bamboo whip in Xiaoxue's hand fell without warning, and the speed was extremely fast, Liu Sicheng couldn't see the shadow of the bamboo whip at all, so he had to dodge instinctively, and actually successfully avoided the blow of the bamboo whip. According to this method, the next ten or so whips Liu Sicheng also avoided smoothly.
Seeing this, Xiaoxue's eyes trembled, and she couldn't help exclaiming:
"You, why were you able to avoid the bamboo whip? I wanted to teach you how to use the ...... of 'mental power'."
"Can you use 'mental power' to avoid the bamboo whip?" Liu Sicheng asked rhetorically.
Xiaoxue shook her head and explained to her:
"The 'spiritual power' itself cannot avoid the bamboo whip, but it can sense the direction of the opponent's attack, so as to avoid attacks that are invisible to the eye."
This remark made Liu Sicheng feel surprised, and at the same time, Liu Sicheng also became more and more curious about Xiaoxue's identity. Because from her explanation, Liu Sicheng felt a hint of modern science.
Xiaoxue has said before that 'mental power' refers to the signals emitted by the brain when it regulates the human body, in other words, neuromodulation. This signal is an electromagnetic wave, and it is indeed able to be picked up by the human brain. It's just that the signal received is relatively weak, and the human brain can't distinguish its content at all. If the signal is strong or if someone's senses are particularly sensitive, the human brain will be affected by this. For example, "drowsiness is contagious" is because when people doze off, the brain waves emitted by the human brain are stronger than usual, and these radio waves are received by the people around them and act on their brains, making them also have the idea of dozing off. Therefore, it is not impossible to predict the opponent's actions through 'mental power', of course, the premise is that the senses of the sensitor must be particularly sensitive. Could it be that his sensing ability is extraordinary? And how did Xiaoxue learn the secret? In an instant, a series of question marks welled up in Liu Sicheng's heart.
"What are you thinking?" Xiaoxue's words woke up Liu Sicheng in deep thought.
"Something boring, not enough to worry about." Liu Sicheng said casually.
Xiaoxue looked at Liu Sicheng with a curious gaze and continued to ask:
"Tell me, please, how did you sense the direction of the bamboo whip's attack?"
In fact, even Liu Siben himself was surprised by this, and he said frankly to Xiaoxue:
"I'm dodging out of pure instinct."
"Instinct?" Xiaoxue wondered.
"Yes, I've been staring into your eyes just now. When you swing the whip, an indescribable feeling arises in my heart, guiding me to dodge left and right. Liu Sicheng explained.
Xiaoxue's pupils contracted suddenly when she heard this, she changed her previous tranquility, patted Liu Sicheng's arm several times one after another, and said excitedly:
"Sicheng, you're too powerful!"
Liu Sicheng was puzzled when he saw this, and hurriedly asked:
"Am I amazing? What does this mean? ”
Xiaoxue looked at Liu Sicheng with envious eyes, and then exclaimed:
"I didn't expect you to be able to master the essence of 'spiritual power' perception without a teacher!"
"This is what is called 'psychic power' perception?" Liu Sicheng wondered.
"Exactly, this is a skill that can only be mastered through special training, and I can't imagine that you can learn it without a teacher. In this way, your brain should be different from ordinary people, and your ability to sense is at least several times stronger. Xiaoxue explained.
Liu Sicheng was even more surprised when he heard this, and said frankly:
"Really? I just had an indescribable feeling, does that mean that I have a strong sense of sensibility? ”
Xiaoxue nodded again and again, and then explained excitedly:
"Your brain has completed the 'mental power' analysis in an instant, which shows that you can sense the other party's 'mental power' under normal conditions, and you are naturally extraordinary with such ability!"
After Xiaoxue's explanation, Liu Sicheng finally understood. At this time, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, raised his hand and pointed at himself and shouted:
"Really? I turned out to be extraordinary! How could I not have noticed it before? ”
"Sicheng, you not only have the qualifications to practice martial arts, but also have such a powerful sensing ability. You're amazing! Xiaoxue looked at Liu Sicheng with envious eyes, which made Liu Sicheng feel a little fluttery.
I remember that Xiaoxue once said that she would be herself, and she was more powerful than her. Is it possible that you can also gain insight into people's hearts? Thinking of this, Liu Sicheng was even more excited.
At this moment, he secretly made up his mind in his heart to use the hard work of the college entrance examination to study martial arts, and vowed to succeed in learning.
Liu Sicheng's purpose in doing this is actually very simple, that is, he can't bear to live up to Xiaoxue's expectations of himself, and he wants to improve his status in Xiaoxue's heart through hard work.
And so another month passed before I knew it. Liu Sicheng also gradually found pleasure in practicing martial arts, and at the same time, he also saw Xiaoxue's true strength with his own eyes.
In one sentence, people should not be disgraced!
A scene that was thought to only occur in international sports competitions is actually real.
Xiaoxue is fast enough to break the sprint world record, and she is as fast as lightning when she sprints.
Xiaoxue's body flexibility is enough to win the Olympic gymnastics championship, because she is as flexible as a boneless octopus.
Xiaoxue's bouncing power can fully earn the title of "Flying Man", because she jumps high as if she is not affected by gravity.
Thinking that one day he could reach or even surpass Xiaoxue's realm, Liu Sicheng couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
But then again, the strange cultivation method of the "Shaoyang Style" made Liu Sicheng really can't help but complain. Its cultivation method is to compress the acupuncture points and paralyze the nerves through acupuncture, and then the practitioner relies on the nerve adjustment of the brain alone to restore the compressed nerves to work, so as to achieve the effect of enhancing "mental power".
At the beginning, Xiaoxue only used acupuncture to numb the nerves in one of Liu Sicheng's thighs, and he successfully broke through the acupoints with only one cup of tea.
After that, there were two legs, and Liu Sicheng took a quarter of an hour.
After that came the limbs, which he took two quarters of an hour.
After that, the whole body, it took him only half an hour.
Xiaoxue was surprised by this result, because she had never seen a beginner with such ability.
From this point of view, Liu Siguo is naturally talented.
After practicing martial arts, Liu Sicheng obviously felt that his body had undergone great changes. The muscles in his body are increasing day by day, and what was previously impossible becomes easy, just like the protagonist in the movie who gains superpowers, becoming infinitely powerful.
In order to show his strength, Liu Sicheng took the initiative to find Xiaoxue to wrestle his wrist, and Liu Sicheng, who was originally full of confidence, was easily defeated by Xiaoxue.
I couldn't see that Xiaoxue's slender arms could burst out with such a powerful force.
This incident stimulated Liu Sicheng a lot, so he seized all the time to study and practice hard.
After nearly two months of hard practice, Liu Sicheng has achieved a small success, and gradually mastered the essentials of the "Shaoyang Style".
