Chapter 42: Suffering
In the early hours of the morning, the residual heat of yesterday had not yet dissipated, and the scorching sun appeared in the sky again, and then it was unusually hot.
"Go and ask someone to make a scabbard for this knife, it doesn't need to be too flashy, it just needs to be strong and durable. Remember to ask the master to grind this stone into powder, apply it to the scabbard, and then bring it to me when he is done, I will be here for the next two days, go quickly! ”
Lu Tian handed the black cloth-wrapped Wuhuang knife and a small piece of Nayuan Stone to Hei Yi, waved his hand, and let him leave.
After having breakfast by the way, Lu Tian went directly back to his room, and today he was going to exercise his muscles in the room and familiarize himself with the condition of his body.
Although this suite is a regular version, there is also a balcony hall and the like, so it is a bit like a living room.
It's only five o'clock, and most people haven't woken up yet, Lu Tian pushed open the glass door and came to the balcony.
The sunlight shone obliquely on his face, and it was a little dazzling, and Lu Tian simply turned around and started Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is the essence of China, which is not only a popular fitness technique, but also a good martial art.
Lu Tian did not learn the true transmission of Tai Chi, and the fitness version of Tai Chi was learned when he was a student, and he practiced it as aerobics at that time.
You can also learn a lot of knowledge in this area on the Internet, and he also consulted many Tai Chi masters and learned a lot of moves, but he didn't practice much.
Although many years have passed, Lu Tian's memory still remembers it clearly.
The body sank slightly, Lu Tian slowly adjusted his breathing, and slowly exhaled a breath as his right palm slowly punched out, a long breath, a sense of relaxation swept through the whole body, some tense muscles gradually relaxed in this slow artistic conception, and the comfortable and refreshing feeling rushed straight to the brain, so unhappy.
Ordinary aerobics is bouncing, more suitable for young people, and Tai Chi is different, now there are not many people who practice martial arts, but excellent Tai Chi has been promoted by people of insight and has become a must for national fitness, not only exercise, but also can adjust the mood, suitable for people of all ages, this Yang Tai Chi is, its artistic conception pays more attention to health.
Lu Tian's breathing became longer, and the muscles of his body kept up with the rhythm of Tai Chi, under this artistic conception that seemed to be light and heavy, and seemed to be slow and fast, Lu Tian gradually felt his heartbeat, the rise and fall of his muscles, and he knew a little more about his body, and he felt that his body was gradually returning to his control.
After a set of Tai Chi, Lu Tian's body is slightly warm, his mind is like a lake in spring, and there is vitality under the calm, and it seems that heaven and earth are a little clearer in front of him.
"The wisdom of the ancestors is admirable, and an incomplete set of Tai Chi routines has made me gain a lot."
Lu Tian felt a little regretful in his heart, thousands of years of Chinese civilization have left too much essence, and too many are gradually being lost, just like this Tai Chi, if there are not so many people to promote it, it is estimated that not many people will remember it.
After this set, Lu Tian had a feeling that he was still unsatisfied, so he simply began to raise his hands again and fought again.
Tai Chi emphasizes the meaning and does not emphasize the form, and it is good that most ordinary people can play standard moves, but people like Lu Tian who practice martial arts have to go from form to meaning before they can enter the hall and play an extraordinary effect.
Lu Tian is a talented person, and he can quickly master the moves, so after playing a set, he found a lot of problems with himself, some incongruity here, some speed there, he can feel it, and when he is in the second time, he is slowly correcting.
The more Lu Tian played, the more excited he became, his body and mind were sublimated, and after three times, he initially mastered the essence of this set of Tai Chi moves, and every move became extremely mellow, if he was seen by the Tai Chi Grandmaster, he would definitely exclaim that he was a genius, and he would try his best to accept him as an apprentice.
But Lu Tian knew his own shortcomings, although after a few times, he had mellow a lot in his moves, but he didn't have much gain in artistic conception.
You must know that he is a congenital existence, and he has already transitioned from the move to the artistic conception of martial arts, and he can also reach the realm of supernatural for some martial arts.
After hitting it seven times, the body has completely warmed up, and the mastery of the body has improved a few points, and it is estimated that in two weeks, it will be able to return to the previous state.
Lu Tian felt like he was missing something on his body, and he needed to feel his strength again.
After seven times, the moves in my memory have been completely integrated, and I have also touched a bit of Tai Chi true meaning.
Next, I hit the military body punch three times, from soft to fierce, and felt the explosion of muscles, which has a unique flavor.
Lu Tiansheng was born as a farmer, and he couldn't get in touch with any advanced martial arts at all, and he was all interested at first, and under the influence of some martial arts novels and film and television dramas, he learned some rough moves in some popular books, and barely knew a little kung fu of a three-legged cat. If it weren't for his extraordinary skills, it would probably be not much different from those martial arts lovers who love fighting.
Just like the Tai Chi and military body boxing just played, they were all learned later, and their real rise was only with the help of nobles.
Two hours passed, and the sun was high and hotter.
I went back to the room and took a simple shower, and washed off the slight sweat, which felt a lot more refreshing.
Lu Tian is a little homely, he feels that there is nothing wrong, and he is reluctant to go out, especially now that the security is a little bad, and after going out, he may encounter gangsters like last night, and when there is a conflict, he may hurt people.
Turn on the computer, start watching the news, and time passes slowly.
More than half a month has passed, and some of the situation in the country has deteriorated somewhat.
Under the continuous high temperature, drought is unavoidable, coupled with the abnormal growth of weeds, the nutrients of crops have been robbed, so that the grain output in various places has declined one after another, which is less than 30% of previous years, and according to the simulation of supercomputers, this situation will continue, and the total grain output this year may be less than 10% of previous years.
This is not only the case for food, but also for most of the other cash crops, especially some artificially improved crops, which are difficult to adapt to the abrupt environment of heaven and earth for a while, and are oppressed by the indigenous plants on the earth to grow, even with the help of pesticides, are seriously reduced yields.
The food crisis has spread to all walks of life, the livestock industry has run out of food, poultry products have also decreased, prices have soared, many farms have closed, and now a pound of chicken is three times the amount of last year.
At the same time as the basic consumption index of residents has risen, more people are unemployed, and ordinary people are now living a very hard life.
The global economy began to fall into a state of weakness last year, starting from Europe, gradually affecting the world, in the second half of this year, finally affected China, China also fell into a state of high unemployment, tens of thousands of enterprises have closed down, agriculture has fallen into crisis, industry is losing vitality, people have no money, with the service industry is also to die. The overall gross national product has fallen by more than 10 percentage points, and the government is under tremendous pressure to take various measures to save the country's economy.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people, those powerful people are less affected, they still live a prosperous life, drunk and gold-obsessed, or they still control most of the wealth of society, and those who suffer are just ordinary people, those powerful people who enjoy happiness regardless of prosperity or troubled times, they enjoy the benefits first, and ordinary people who suffer first, this is the basic norm of human society.
Even to put it mildly, most of the pressure brought about by the weakening economy is pressed on these ordinary people, and it is only shared under this huge base.
As the ancient lyricists said.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.
Although it is a bit biased to use it until now, it is true that ordinary people who have no power and power are the most likely to take the blame.
