Chapter 2: Beginning to practice martial arts

The next day, Yue Buqun got Shen Chengping up early, and came to the Huashan martial arts arena, Shen Chengping knew that this was going to start teaching martial arts, and there was some eagerness to try at the moment, Yue Buqun said at this time: "This kung fu is the first to practice qi, qigong is successful, swordsmanship and boxing skills are easy to come by, and flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people." Before practicing martial arts, you must first relax your muscles and bones, so as not to practice the law and hurt yourself.

After the completion of the soothing muscles and bones, and then teach you to stand on the pile, consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and cultivate a sense of qi, which is the first step of this kung fu, and all sects are like this, and the specific methods are similar. The martial arts of my Huashan faction are particularly important, and if the foundation is not successful, everything will be empty, and you will be optimistic. ”

Saying that, he took a few postures, Shen Chengping looked at it for a while, and knew that this was a warm-up exercise, similar to the modern concept of warm-up exercises before strenuous activities, so as not to hurt his joints and sprain his muscles and bones when he followed Yue Buqun's movements. Then Yue Buqun taught him Zama, teaching him mantras and breathing methods.

This category is a secret tradition, and like some martial arts tips, it has always been passed down by word of mouth, and is not recorded in writing, so as not to be stolen by outsiders. However, once the sect is changed, it is easy to cause the loss of martial arts, and many sects on the rivers and lakes are like this, sometimes although the exercises and moves have been handed down, the descendants always feel that they have not entered the country much according to the practice, which is the reason for the lack of many key points in many practices.

Shen Chengping tried to carry out Zama according to what Yue Buqun said, and if there was something inappropriate, Yue Buqun also took the trouble to correct Shen Chengping over and over again, so that after a quarter of an hour, Shen Chengping felt back and leg pain, dizziness and dizziness.

Yue Buqun was not in a hurry when he saw this, and stepped forward to push Shen Chengping's acupoints to invigorate the blood, but after a while, Shen Chengping felt warm all over his body, but this was Yue Buqun's internal force to stimulate the qi and blood acupuncture points to relieve fatigue.

After doing this again, when Shen Chengping recovered again, he only heard Yue Buqun say: "After breakfast later, take a rest first, I will teach you to read and practice calligraphy in the morning, and continue to practice in the afternoon." ”

Shen Chengping nodded, the next few days can be said to be like this every day, the days are very boring, if it is an ordinary child, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on to it for a long time, but Shen Chengping knows that this martial arts practice is not an overnight kung fu, and it is very important to polish his muscles and bones, so although he also wants to learn the true skills of the inner family earlier, he also concentrates on cultivation according to his temperament, and he is not in a hurry to ask Yue Buqun to teach further kung fu early.

After half a year, Shen Chengping's Zama can be regarded as having some foundation, and he can last for half an hour at a time, and at this time, Yue Buqun finally began to teach him some basic fist and foot kung fu.

Shen Chengping put his mind and effort on the practice of martial arts, but in his spare time did not forget to read and learn words, originally Shen Yuanwai in order to make him a talent, from the age of three, at home invited Mr. Xixi to teach him to learn, with this foundation, he studied the collection of books on Mount Hua every day, he was familiar with many scriptures, and began to study the Taoist books on Mount Hua.

Huashan faction is inherited from the Quanzhen school, and it is also a Taoist legacy, and there are a lot of Taoist books collected in the door, if it is in modern times, no one will read these Taoist scriptures if it is not because of interest, but Shen Chengping knows that in this world of martial arts, being able to improve his Taoist knowledge is also of great benefit to martial arts, just like the Nine Yin True Scripture in the Condor Shooting, isn't it Huang Shang who finally founded it after reading the Taoist Collection, of course, to be able to do this, you have to study for decades and have enough talent, Shen Chengping only used it as an auxiliary means, assisting in learning in addition to practice, and perhaps he could help his martial arts make a breakthrough in the future.

Early one morning, after Shen Chengping finished Zama, Yue Buqun said to him: "Ping'er, you Zama has been Zama for half a year, and you have made a lot of progress, I am very relieved." It's just that there is still a distance from the entry, I found that you blindly rely on brute force when you Zama, this is not the right way after all, although this Zama is the basic kung fu, but it has its own reason, today I will teach you the key to Zama. ”

Saying that, Yue Buqun stood a horse step, only to see that his upper body was slightly undulating, but his legs were not moving, his whole body seemed to be loose but could be launched at any time, and his whole body seemed to contain a special rhythm.

Originally, Shen Chengping heard Yue Buqun say that he had not yet started Zama, and he was quite unconvinced, after all, he had worked very hard in the past six months, and he never dared to relax in the slightest, and his conscious progress was quite obvious, but he was criticized by Yue Buqun for being useless, but he also knew that he was a complete layman in martial arts, so he quickly adjusted his mood and watched carefully.

At this time, Yue Buqun said: "Ping'er, the main point of this Zama is in the three words 'empty', 'loose', and 'stable', the upper body should be empty, the whole body should be loose, and the feet should be stable, naturally, effortlessly, as if as a teacher, it is okay to tie for a few hours, there is no sense of fatigue, not like you to force, you can reach this point, this Zama can be regarded as entering the house, and then I will teach you the next step of kung fu." ”

When Shen Chengping heard this, he felt that his concept had been impacted, perhaps he was too deeply affected by the training method in the gym in his previous life, thinking that Zama was just improving musculoskeletal strength, but he didn't know that martial arts was broad and profound, Zama was not just training strength, it seems that he would have to understand more in the future.

Huashan School of martial arts inherited from the Quanzhen Sect, is also a line of Taoism, the town patriarch Wang Chongyang proposed the integration of the three religions, and later absorbed some of the ideas of Confucianism and Buddhism, pay attention to the harmony of heaven and man, go with the flow, if you do not understand the truth, it is impossible to practice to the fullest, and the modern exercise method that forcibly breaks through its own limits is completely different.

Shen Chengping was too deeply influenced by his previous life, and his habitual way of thinking has not changed, Zama pays too much attention to the accuracy of posture, and then persists hard, but he does not understand the essence of Zama, no wonder Yue Buqun said that he has not yet started. Modern training methods are greatly influenced by the West, and Chinese martial arts are the same, so naturally they cannot be confused.

Since this day, Shen Chengping has been constantly trying to think more, under Yue Buqun's guidance several times, he has slowly touched the doorway, and has a deeper understanding of some of the meanings in the formula, and has made great progress in the past four months.

And in addition to Zama, Shen Chengping's other gains are not small, Huashan suffered a big change, because of the battle of sword qi, but not the invasion of foreign enemies, the martial arts classics are preserved quite completely, Shen Chengping often goes to Yue Buqun's study to read in his spare time, although the important exercise classics can not be seen, but some of the experience codex of Huashan's ancestors can be seen.

Later, after he began to learn the basic internal skills of meditation and breathing, he tried to integrate the method of breathing into his daily life based on the ideas he had seen in his previous life and some martial arts experience in his present life.

This is actually changing the habit that has always been, and it is a very painful process, but fortunately, Shen Chengping has a characteristic since his previous life, but whenever he sees the goal, he will continue to work hard, and he has never slackened without being supervised, and he has achieved initial results so far.
