Chapter 5 Learn the Arts! Baguazhang

Just after dawn, Zhang Yu was woken up by Uncle Jiu and went to the courtyard of Yizhuang. It can be seen that Uncle Nine values Zhang Yu very much in his heart, but it is also. Although Wencai has a loyal personality, he is stupid and stupid. Although Qiusheng is talented, he has an impetuous personality and uncertain nature. Therefore, Uncle Nine can only hope that Zhang Yu can inherit his skills. Wen Cai was still sleeping like a pig at this time.

Zhang Yu stood in the courtyard and rubbed his eyes fiercely, cheered up and looked at Uncle Jiu seriously to listen to his teaching.

"Ayu, we cultivators. You have to practice martial arts, but you don't have to be too deep and exhaustive. The first is to practice martial arts for health and fitness, and the second is for agility. When hunting demons and killing ghosts, he is not agile. If you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss or even die.

So today during the day, I will teach you to practice martial arts and learn Baguazhang. In the evening, when you memorize the meaning of those basic Taoist scriptures, you must first be able to understand the Taoist scriptures. I'll teach you the Tao slowly in the future. ”

"Okay, master." Zhang Yu agreed. But my heart blossomed with joy. I thought I could only learn Taoism, but I didn't expect that I could also learn martial arts Baguazhang. Earn over and overturn.

"Ayu, I see that you have a strong yang energy. The physique is stronger than the average person, and you are still not a virgin? Uncle Nine stared at Zhang Yu and suddenly asked directly, regardless of whether Zhang Yu was embarrassed or not.

"I ...... I was indeed a virgin. In addition, when I was abroad, I learned a little bit of Western boxing. So the physical exercise is okay. Zhang Yu touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said embarrassedly.

"Not bad, not bad. You can also clean yourself in a foreign country. Well, the body of a virgin is very good for cultivation, try to keep it. Okay, I'll tell you about this Baguazhang first.

Baguazhang originally belonged to the martial arts of the Wudang faction. In the evening Qing, there was a martial arts master Dong Haichuan Dong Gong who collected the achievements of his predecessors and made the Baguazhang, a secret Taoist exercise, known to the world. It was included by the teacher as a inheritance.

Baguazhang is a martial art with the most significant health and fitness effect in Wudang's internal boxing skills. Baguazhang does not pursue a single dynamic stillness, but combines movement and static, which has become the best way to maintain health and cultivation.

Taoist Baguazhang views the law of changes in the movement of the human body, follows the ancient theory of yin and yang and internal qi, and combines the footwork, body and palm of the left and right rotation of the Baguazhang, attaches importance to the coordination of ideas, emphasizes both internal and external cultivation, so as to more effectively promote the changes of blood, essence and bone marrow in the body.

So don't look at me at 50 or 60 years old, my body is no different from that of 40.

Baguazhang is based on palm change and walking and turning, integrating boxing skills and internal strength, both inside and outside, crisscrossing when practicing, divided into four positive and four even eight directions, according to the "Zhou Yi" Bagua diagram in the hexagram to standardize boxing skills, so it is named "Baguazhang".

Baguazhang uses the Book of Changes as the theoretical basis for boxing techniques. The basic eight palms of the Baguazhang are respectively attached to the Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Yi, and Hui hexagrams.

So you still have to read the Book of Changes by heart, and I'll find you in the evening.

Baguazhang also borrows the number of Baguazhang to standardize the hierarchy and systematization of boxing skills. The number of eight trigrams attached to the eight basic palms is compared to the number of the eight trigrams, and the number of eight hexagrams is divided into eight groups with sixty-four palms, and each group of eight palms is compared to the number of eight eight and sixty-four hexagrams. Therefore, the Book of Changes is very important and is the basis of the Bagua palm boxing technique. ”

Uncle Jiu repeatedly emphasized the importance of the I Ching to gossip.

Zhang Yu also silently cheered himself up in his heart, and he must learn the "Book of Changes" well. Although he never knew what the I Ching was, he had only heard that it was a very powerful book. It has been handed down from ancient times, and it can also be fortune-telling or something.

Uncle Nine continued to explain the Baguazhang to Zhang Yu.

"Baguazhang is an internal boxing technique that walks and turns and changes the palm and body techniques. And to cultivate Baguazhang, you must first practice the pile method, so the beginning of cultivation is mainly to stand on the pile.

There are Peiyuan piles, mixed yuan piles, three-talent piles, gossip piles, easy hexagram piles and so on. Pile Gong starts with Peiyuan pile, two feet separated, the distance is the same width as the shoulder, the tongue is slightly rolled against the palate, the eyes are slightly closed and the inner vision, the whole body is naturally relaxed, the left palm is lightly folded on the back of the right palm, the right palm is lightly pressed on the acupoint of the dantian, the nasal breath is subtle and deep, and the ears are not heard.

Practice the Peiyuan pile and then practice other pile skills. On the basis of doing a good job of piling skills, practice walking piles, and begin to practice the practice of advancing and retreating, twisting and turning, and practicing the Nine Palaces Bagua Array after being proficient.

This array is buried on the ground by nine bamboo poles according to the direction of the nine palace gossip, the distance between the rod and the rod at the beginning of the practice to allow a person to pass through, with the deepening of kung fu, the distance of the rod gradually decreases, and the person does not shake the rod as a whole, and then inserts a sharp weapon in different positions on the rod, and the person is not injured by the sharp weapon as a small success, and the rod is tied with a strip of cotton cloth soaked in oil to ignite the fire, so as not to be injured by the fire and sharp weapons as the great success.

Walking piles, based on the Bagua pile, on the basis of the practice of the upper step exercises, take the Bagua Nine Palace piles. At the beginning of the practice, the Bagua Jiugong pile was used as the shape of the brick to explore the bricks, and the flat bricks were walked first. Horizontal bricks, standing bricks in turn, after proficiency and then practice on the pile, choose the thickness of the bowl stake, buried in the ground a few feet, the top of the pile is about one foot from the ground.

After being able to stand on the pile for an hour, you can practice walking the pile, and then practice running the pile, and walk freely to reach the standard. In the future, according to the growth of kung fu, the pile can be gradually raised and reduced, and finally the pile can be run on the bamboo pole, walking like flying, and the merit is superior.

Since then, the cultivation of Baguazhang has been divided into three levels of kung fu, namely the heavenly plate, the earth plate, and the human plate.

Tianpan Bagua is the method of rebirth, based on pile gong, walking, palming, body, footwork and boxing, cultivating Mingjin and reaching Liuhe. That is, the heart and the mind are together, the mind and the qi are together, the qi is in harmony with the force, the hands and feet are together, the shoulders and the hips are together, the elbows and knees are together, the hands, eyes and the body, the spirit and the spirit, the inside and the outside, everywhere together, the opening and closing are distinct, the stretch is generous, one to a hundred, everywhere, to the big circle.

Turf gossip is the method of stretching tendons and changing bones, mainly to cultivate internal strength. The cultivation method of internal and external integration, internal cultivation and external cultivation, external help internal, internal and external combination, ten images in one, spiritual energy, muscles, bones, skin and muscles, twisted and rolled, and the whole body is round. The technique is free anyway, playing an inch, and making a small circle.

The gossip of the human pan is the work of washing the marrow, the combination of yin and yang, the unity of inside and outside, the main intention, invisible and traceless, the whole body is empty, quiet as a scholar, moving like a landslide, shaped like a flying arrow, hitting like lightning, the whole body is empty, empty but not empty, not empty and empty, invisible and invisible, unintentional, unintentionally is the hexagram, playing the divine will, the muscles are shaking, people can be like electric shocks.

Okay, that's all for now. Ayu, is there anything you don't understand and want to ask? When Uncle Nine said this, he felt that his mouth was a little dry, so he stopped.

Zhang Yuxu wiped the cold sweat on his head. Then he stared at Uncle Nine and asked curiously, "Master, what level of cultivation have you reached in Baguazhang?" ”

"This ......, why do you ask so much? Enough to teach you. According to what I just said, the Peiyuan pile method stands up. Stand for an hour before eating. I'll go drink saliva first, don't be lazy. ”

Uncle Nine said a little embarrassed, and then turned around and walked to the inner room to drink saliva before continuing.

Xin Dao: "Could it be that I also tell you that I have only learned three pile methods and only cultivated the Heavenly Pan?" My main job is a Taoist, not a martial artist. ”

After Zhang Yu heard this, he hurriedly stood up according to the Peiyuan pile method that Uncle Jiu said just now. In his mind, he slowly recalled what Uncle Nine said about Pei Yuan pile.

"The two feet are separated, the distance between the period is the same width as the shoulder, the tongue is slightly rolled against the palate, the eyes are slightly closed and the inner vision is closed, the whole body is naturally relaxed, the left palm is lightly folded on the back of the right palm, the right palm is lightly pressed on the acupoint of the dantian, the nasal breath is subtle and deep, and the ears are not heard.

The dantian should be the abdomen, try to stand up like this first, and wait for the master to come out and see. Say it's wrong. However, the body enhancement before the earliest is possible! Even the brain is strengthened. What the master said just now, there are a lot of gossip palms. I haven't forgotten a word. Well, in that case. Then study and do it seriously. There was a determined look in Zhang Yu's eyes, and he stood up seriously and did not move.

And Uncle Nine said that he was going in to drink water, but he stopped at the door and silently observed Zhang Yu. watched Zhang Yu stand up from afar. Xin said: "Although I didn't look closer, it should be right to look at the general situation." Well, this son is gifted and intelligent. If you continue to be diligent like this, you will become a great thing in time. Hehe. Uncle Nine nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and walked into the door to find water to drink.
