Chapter 14 The Difference Between "Form" and "Meaning".

The next day, Ren Xiaoyao was dressed neatly and went to Liu's house early in the morning.

At this time, the sky is just dawning, the dew is still on the young leaves, and the whole world is peaceful and harmonious.

People who practice martial arts have a high quality of sleep, and they generally go to bed early and get up early, and Ren Xiaoyao has already developed a habit.

He knew that since Liu Lao said that he wanted to teach himself, he must want to see himself serious and diligent, and there was nothing more comforting to him than coming here early.

Walking into the courtyard, Liu Lao was already sitting in the middle of the courtyard, and when he saw Ren Xiaoyao coming, he nodded.

"Have you eaten in the morning?" Liu Lao asked, people are iron rice is steel, martial arts exercise more vigorously, and the energy consumed is much more than ordinary people, so three meals a day are very important.

"I've eaten it." Ren Xiaoyao nodded.

And so, the practice began.

Basically, Ren Xiaoyao was boxing there, and Liu Lao was watching from the side.

When Ren Xiaoyao has any doubts, Liu Lao is responsible for giving advice, although it is impossible to directly help him solve the problem, but it is likely to touch the bypass and play an enlightening role.

Halfway through, Xiuxiu got up and saw Ren Xiaoyao boxing, and stood aside curiously to watch. Whenever Ren Xiaoyao crackled in the air, her eyes widened and she looked incredulous.

However, no matter when, Ren Xiaoyao's expression is light, and even the movements have a hint of calmness, watching him box, he can't feel the tyrannical artistic conception at all, although it is not a performance, but it is just as good-looking.

Ren Xiaoyao started from the three-body pose, to the five-element fist, and then to the twelve-shaped fist, every change was completely unfolded, attracting Liu Lao, who was watching from the side, to nod.

"Your boxing routines have been perfected, and I don't have anything to say about that." Liu Lao commented.

In fact, it can't be regarded as a comment, he is more emotional, Ren Xiaoyao's heat at this time is not far from his peak, once he crosses the "heart demon" period in front of him, he will quickly catch up with him at that time.

Ren Xiaoyao's set of punches has been finished at this time, just now he has initially shown his strength to Liu Lao, but with his current realm, this way can only reveal a very small part of his strength, and the real strength can only be seen by fighting with others.

Liu Lao's body did not allow him to make too many movements, so he could only "see" in this way, which was better than nothing.

"But when you box, it feels unnatural overall." Liu Lao continued.

Unnatural? Xiuxiu was a little puzzled, obviously playing well, what was unnatural.

This is the difference between ordinary people and masters, Ren Xiaoyao's current state, only martial artists of the same level or higher realm can feel it, not so much "seeing", it is better to use "product" more appropriately.

Look at other people's boxing needs, only with high "taste" can you gain from other people's boxing skills.

Historically, whether it is Sun Lutang or Guo Yunshen, these masters are good at more than one kind of kung fu, and they often integrate the abilities of hundreds of schools of thought, and finally succeed.

The Ren family did not take this road, they chose "specialization", compared with the previous one, this road is more difficult to walk, but it is also more beneficial to future development.

There is no definite number of which is better or worse, it all depends on the individual.

"Liu Lao Mingjian." Now, although the power of boxing is not reduced, it does not affect fighting with people, but when performing boxing, there is no sense of fluency before, just like there is always a blockage in the key parts, and I have been holding my breath in my heart.

'This breath' may be the so-called inner demon.

Liu Daoren nodded and began to explain his experience and know-how: "When I first practiced boxing, I kept thinking, why do people practice boxing, and what is the end point of boxing? There has been no income. This continued until I broke through to the Grandmaster. ”

"I was in my 40s, and when I was middle-aged, I had more things to think about and more responsibilities on my shoulders. No one told me about my doubts about boxing, so I thought about it myself. I choose to go all over the world to see the unusual, the tiny things. ”

"Mountains and rivers flow, clouds roll up, iron trees sprout.... I've seen so many of these things. ”

"Eventually, I saw a female bear hunting with a cub in the deep mountains and old forests of the great northwest..."

This is a very long story, has reached the middle-aged Liu Dao Shinobu walked all over the mountains and rivers, and finally saw a female bear with the bear, he followed the back for three months, with it in and out, saw the mother bear prey, saw the mother bear protect the bear, saw the bear snuggling the female bear, and finally relied on this, in the boxing has a comprehension.

Ren Xiaoyao was a little puzzled: "According to what you say, you are practicing a boxing technique related to 'bear'?" ”

"That's right." Liu Lao nodded.

What is the punch? Tai chi? No, through the back, praying mantis? It's not right, gossip, eight poles? Probably not, that's what kind of boxing method it is.

Seeing Ren Xiaoyao frowning and thinking, Liu Lao knew that he definitely hadn't guessed, so he said with a smile: "Think about it, what boxing techniques are related to bears." ”

Bear-related, bear-related...

Ren Xiaoyao suddenly had a bright light flashing in his heart, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Could it be 'bear-shaped'?" ”

The bear shape, one of the twelve shapes, is a twelve-shaped fist.

So what Liu Lao learned is also Xingyi Boxing?

"Yes, yes." Liu Lao nodded happily.

Ren Xiaoyao suddenly reacted, if it wasn't for learning Xingyi Boxing, Liu Lao probably wouldn't have said that he wanted to teach himself. It was dark under the light before, and he had guessed all the boxing techniques, but he didn't think about the Xingyi Quan he practiced.

"I remember, Liu Lao, you said that your hometown is from Anhui, and there are indeed a lot of people who practice Xingyi Boxing in that area."

On the side, Xiuxiu understood that her grandfather was once a master, and he practiced the same boxing as Brother Ren, which made her look at her grandfather with surprise, and for the first time she found that she knew too little before.

"That's... Is Brother Ren's kung fu very good? Xiuxiu couldn't help but ask Liu Lao.

Liu Lao smiled: "Of course it's amazing, when I'm his age, I don't even have half of his effort, and he can easily clean me up." ”

In this way, Xiuxiu nodded as if she didn't understand, anyway, she didn't understand those boxing techniques, martial arts or anything, she only felt that the two people close to her seemed to be very powerful-since Liu Lao had taught Ren Xiaoyao boxing, she naturally became a "close" person in Liu Xiuxiu's heart.

"In this way, won't Brother Ren come over every day in the future?" She couldn't help but say again.

When Ren Xiaoyao heard it, he looked at the girl who was already in love, and said with a smile: "Of course, don't you welcome me?" ”

"How come..."Xiuxiu hurriedly shook her head, "Of course it's good that Brother Ren can come every day." ”

After speaking, she felt that her tone seemed a little strange, and she seemed to be a little eager for Brother Ren to come, so she hurriedly added: "After all, I was fortunate to have Brother Ren here yesterday, Brother Ren, you are a good person." ”

Ren Xiaoyao was amused by this girl, and couldn't help but reach over, touch her head, and quipped: "That's fine, but you have to remember that your eldest brother Ren will have to eat here in the future, you have to remember to cook me, otherwise I will only be hungry." ”

He completely regarded Xiuxiu as a little sister, and put his hand on it very naturally, not noticing that Xiuxiu was completely stunned at this time, and at some point, his earlobes had become red.

Liu Lao understood from the side, he coughed lightly, and said, "Xiuxiu, it's not early now, you hurry up and cook breakfast, grandpa hasn't eaten yet." ”

Xiuxiu was excited, and immediately woke up from the state of the blindfold, turned around with a "whew", said "got it", and then trotted away.

Looking like that, it seems like shy?

Ren Xiaoyao was a little puzzled, what happened to this girl? He couldn't help but look at Liu Lao suspiciously.

This is completely a fan of the authorities, and Ren Xiaoyao didn't think about it from the beginning, so he was a little unclear about Xiuxiu's attitude.

"Leave her alone, let's move on with ours." Liu Lao shook his head, his expression was solemn, "I also practice Xingyi Boxing, but I'm not like you, my talent is not so high, at that time, I was mainly attacking all the way to boxing, and the others were supplemented." As you can guess, I'm practicing 'bear-shaped' boxing. ”

Ren Xiaoyao listened very carefully, and the next words should be the point.

"The shape of the meaning, both pay attention to the 'shape' and pay attention to the 'meaning', before the strength, what we practice is the 'shape'. This doesn't mean that we don't have enough heat, it's just that we can't reach the next level. Just like people learn to walk, they always have to learn to walk before they can learn to run. ”

Ren Xiaoyao nodded: "That's the reason." ”

"You are still in the stage of 'shape', although every shape you play is very decent, but at a glance, people will know that you are a 'fake tiger', 'fake bear', 'fake monkey'."

Ren Xiaoyao frowned a little, Xingyi Boxing is just a boxing method, it is not easy to be "like", is it difficult to make him a real animal?

"I know you have some doubts, but this is the truth, if you want not to be "fake", then you must understand the "meaning". This means 'essence', and it's like the finishing touch, and it's only a small change, but it's completely different. ”

"So this 'meaning' is the key to entering Huajin?" Ren Xiaoyao asked.

Liu Lao nodded: "It is the key, only by comprehending what 'meaning' is, can you get through the current stage and enter a new world." With your current situation, if you can't comprehend it, it is absolutely normal to delay it for three or five years. ”

"What is the so-called 'meaning', in fact, is your summary and perception of all the actions of this animal, such as predation and eating, running and sleeping, etc., only by combining these summary perceptions with your own mastery of boxing, you can really feel what is 'twelve-shaped boxing'."

"And once you have a breakthrough in a certain form, you will be able to completely break the barriers of the Grandmaster Realm and enter this realm with points and faces."

"That's what I'm going to teach you, about my own experience and tricks."
