Chapter 5 Martial Arts to Reason

What kind of person was Bruce Lee? Saying that Bruce Lee is a genius is true! Bruce Lee is a unique martial arts prodigy, but he is also a man of extreme pride.

Personality, for Bruce Lee, if you say that he can't do anything, then he wants to show you, always trying to show you your temperament.

After getting started, Ip Man asked him to practice standing on the pile and laying the foundation, but at first Bruce Lee was very resistant, thinking that Ip Man would not teach him real kung fu.

Li Haiquan said that if Bruce Lee couldn't persevere, it was not material for martial arts training, so he made up his mind to do a good job for others to see, so he persevered and worked hard to complete the requirements of the standing pile arranged by Ip Man.

The light rain is flying, the clouds are full of mist, and Ning An's idol, a generation of legendary Bruce Lee, is vomiting at this time, and he is walking outside alone.

"Standing on the pile is the basic skill, if you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty when you get old, you also understand this truth, as long as you stand until the master is satisfied, the master and his old man will definitely teach you real kung fu!"

Ning An comforted Bruce Lee, and after a few days, Ning An found that Bruce Lee was really an anxious child, no wonder Ip Man asked him to stand on the pile for so long.

However, on the other hand, it also proves that Ip Man attaches great importance to Bruce Lee, and when Ning An was learning martial arts, he spent more time standing on the pile than Bruce Lee.

If the foundation is not firm, the earth will shake!

Ip Man valued Ning An from the bottom of his heart, which made Ning An lay the foundation for more than half a year, but fortunately, Ning An persevered in the end.

"Ning An, did you ask Xiaolong to stand on the stake with two wooden sticks?" Ip Man saw Bruce Lee's serious practice and asked out loud.

Ning An hurriedly replied: "No, Senior Brother Xiaolong practiced it himself!" ”

Ye Wen bowed his head, "In this way, that little dragon, have you realized anything in the past few days?" Ip Man looked at Bruce Lee, who looked impatient next to him, and asked softly.

"Not only did I not understand anything, but I was also annoyed!"

"Annoying! Annoying what? ”

The corners of Ning An's mouth twitched on the side, he was really straight, he couldn't be soft with his master, and he was unambiguous about what he said.

"On the first day you came to the martial arts hall, I asked you why you practiced martial arts and what was the purpose of your martial arts practice, and you still haven't answered me!" Although Ip Man was not angry, he hated iron but not steel.

"Master, can you tell me, what do you mean by the sick man of East Asia? How did the term come from? ”

Ip Man was stunned for a moment, and took a deep look at Bruce Lee, but he didn't expect this naughty boy to have this thought, and with this ambition, he will become a great weapon in the future!

"Good boy, I'll teach you actual combat tricks from today onwards!" Ip Man paced and finally made up his mind!

"Really? Great, I've been waiting for this day, I am in a hurry to see my brothers practice martial arts every day, you are finally willing to teach me real kung fu! ”

Bruce Lee looked excited, and the many days of waiting finally paid off, but he didn't find that Ip Man's originally surprised face was calm again!

"Go on!"

"You are testing me, testing my perseverance, testing my patience, as long as I practice true kung fu, I am not afraid of anything! In the past few days, I have watched my brothers and sisters practice, and I am dying of anxiety, but fortunately, you are finally willing to teach me real kung fu! ”

Bruce Lee said one sentence at a time, and said the words in his heart one by one, not paying attention to Ip Man's face at all, and gradually becoming gloomy.

"Looks like you're going to have to practice standing piles! Zhongliang, you take him to the stake! Ip Man said coldly.

Ning An slapped his head, Bruce Lee is really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, what do you do when you say so much, I don't know if you say too much, you will lose!

Originally, the master thought that Bruce Lee had this ambition and was worthy of teaching him real kung fu, but he didn't expect to turn his head and Bruce Lee turned back into this acute son, with Ip Man's rigor, he naturally had to hone and hone him again.

"Master, you still have to teach me the kung fu of actual combat just now, why can't you do it now? You can't talk and don't count! "Bruce Lee was in a hurry, the cooked duck was about to arrive on the plate, but he couldn't just fly like this!

"Less nonsense, go stand on the pile!"

Ye Manli ignored it, threw down a sentence and turned to leave, and when the senior brother saw this, he immediately beckoned Bruce Lee to continue to stand on the pile.

"Xiaolong, it seems that you still think that the master's words don't count, don't you understand what the master means, do you know why you continue to stand on the pile?"

Ning An shook his head, looking old-fashioned, and said to Bruce Lee.

"Why?"

"It seems that you haven't comprehended the essence of martial arts yet!"

"The essence?"

"What did you think about when you stood on the stake?"

Bruce Lee thought about it and said: "Of course, I will do whatever the master asks me to do, and why did the master change his mind!" ”

Ning An said with a look of hatred that iron does not become steel: "I see you, this period of time is in vain, you know why you want to stand on the pile, standing on the pile is not only to practice the kung fu of your feet, but more importantly, you hone your mind, the essence of martial arts is to practice the heart!" Habit is to let your mind be honed! ”

"Can the mind be tempered?"

"That's right, Xiaolong, your heart is really too impetuous, the most important thing for a person who practices martial arts is to be as calm as water, have a far-reaching state of mind, and be able to see thousands of miles!

When you stand on the pile, you are a tree, you have to imagine yourself as a towering tree, the height of the tree lies in the roots, your whole body and mind have to take root in the ground under your feet, the deeper the roots, the deeper your kung fu, understand? ”

"Can I just imagine myself as a big tree?" Bruce Lee seemed to understand something, but he was a little confused.

I don't know why I believe Ning An's words, but I have to say that Ning An's words are so magical, and Bruce Lee, a martial arts idiot, was attracted unconsciously.

"If you reach this level, then your whole body and mind will become water, from a big tree to water that can penetrate all things, that is the higher realm of martial arts.

This realm is to melt yourself into water, and only when you consciously or unconsciously melt yourself into a pool of water, can you integrate your body and mind into the ground under your feet, and then you will truly enter the martial arts..."

"Smack!"

Ning An was hit on the head, and when he looked back, Ye Man had a black face, standing behind him, and he was suddenly frightened!

"Little bunny, did you come here to show off?" Ip Man scolded! Ning An shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Master, I think what the little junior brother said makes a lot of sense, right?" Bruce Lee was upset for Ning An.

"Shut up! I think you're standing on a stump and standing stupid, do you think these words can come out of the mouth of a fourteen-year-old child, who is now learning and selling! ”

Ning An sneered, and left this place of right and wrong in a puff of smoke, and it is a miracle to be able to fool the future martial artist, the legendary Bruce Lee, who does not know the north and the south, today!

That's right, these are all things that Ip Man said to Ning An in his leisure time on weekdays, but Ning An was a little bored when he saw Bruce Lee standing alone, so he used it to fool him.

However, these are all real martial arts principles, anyway, the master will tell you Bruce Lee in the future, and Ning An has nothing to taboo.

"Do you understand what he said?" Ip Man asked Bruce Lee.

"I don't understand!"

"Then I'll tell you more about it..."

Sure enough, under Ip Man's explanation, Bruce Lee was a little enlightened, and the next day, Ip Man allowed Bruce Lee to practice with others.
