Chapter 14: Angry Crowns
Along the way, Su Ming was thinking and practicing, regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Xu Yijiang later made a tiger-shaped splitting fist, and practiced to the point where he had both form and spirit, and his inspiration to Su Ming was also very great. After thinking about it for many days, my heart suddenly brightened.
"Refining Qi and Transforming Gods...... Refining Qi and Transforming Gods...... It turns out that there is still this meaning in it! Su Ming said to himself, "The realm of refining qi and transforming gods is not only to change people's temperament, spirit, and character, but more importantly, to change the temperament of their own boxing techniques!" ”
"Xingyi boxing, Xingyi boxing, this name is good. Practice its shape and get its meaning. Only when the temperament of the real fist method has also changed, can it be regarded as a real god of refining qi and transforming into a god, with both form and spirit. ”
Other boxing methods, although they are not called Xingyi boxing, but after understanding this, other boxing methods are similar.
Along the way, first to Tangshan, and then to Q City, Su Ming's arm injury was almost healed, and he was also full of emotion in his heart.
Who would have thought that he would actually come to Q City nearly a hundred years ago. Looking at the grass and trees, villages and villages, streets and alleys in Q City, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion in my heart.
The world is changing, and the vicissitudes of life. The current Q City, in addition to guarding the checkpoints in the northeast and inland, is poor, dilapidated and small. Who would have thought that a hundred years from now, the changes would be unimaginable. Although it is a change of the times, the root cause is a change in people.
Life is between heaven and earth, know how to learn, know how to create, know how to progress, so little by little changes accumulate, it becomes an incredible change.
Therefore, Lao Tzu also said in the Tao Te Ching: "The Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the people are also great." There are four major domains, and people live in one of them. ”
Su Ming followed his heart, walked aimlessly, casually, and came to the beach where he used to go. Standing on top of a reef, watch the tide roll and crash against the reef in waves, splashing into countless splashes.
The blue sky, the white sun, the sea, and the reef fell into Su Ming's eyes and became a beautiful picture. In the Hereafter, how can we see such a pure, unpolluted sky and sea? For a moment, the mind seemed to fly to the distant Nine Heavens, and the will seemed to sink into the boundless and countless earth through the reef under its feet.
Standing here, in a trance, it seems to have returned to the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao is here, watching the sea and writing poems: "The east is adjacent to the Jieshi, in order to view the sea, the water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging." ”
Vaguely, I seem to hear the words of the Taizu of the Kai Dynasty in later generations: "The past is more than a thousand years, Wei Wu whipped the whip, there is a last chapter in the east of Jieshi, and the bleak autumn wind is now again, and the world has changed." ”
The heart flies outside the sky, smart and ethereal, the mind sinks to the earth, calm and heavy.
"Practicing the heart? Explicit? Su Ming seemed to understand something in his heart, "This sky, this sea, and everything are all touched and touched by people, so that they can be beautiful, wonderful, and moving." ”
"Boxing is the same, you must also have your own touching in it, so that you will have power, wonderful, and moving."
I don't know how long it took for Su Ming's mind to come back, and he thought: "Master said that practicing the heart and knowing the intention, it turns out that this is what it means. It's just that I still don't know how to do it, even though I have some clues. ”
After staying in Q City for nearly half a month, Su Ming set off again, left Shanhaiguan, and headed for the three eastern provinces. Along the way, I saw many joys and sorrows, loves, hatreds, joys and sorrows. Among them, there is laughter, anger, unwillingness, and helplessness. All kinds of feelings are in my heart, and the five flavors are mixed, and it is not accurate.
Stop-and-go, before I knew it, in July, people also went from Q City, through Rehe, to Shenyang, and then to Dalian, through Dandong, almost along the border between China and North Korea, and then into Jilin Province. Along the way, I also saw that the people were simple, and they often stayed in the mountain villages to rest.
On this day, Su Ming finished practicing in the mountains, and when he saw that he had already reached the third pole, he planned to return to Banpo Village. It has been three or four days since he came to Banpo Village, and he feels that he has almost rested, and he can go back to the village to prepare again, and he can go on the road again.
After walking for about half an hour, I came out of the woods, and when I looked up, I saw the smoke billowing into the sky. Su Ming's heart was not good, and he walked quickly. After a while, a tragic hellish scene that will never be forgotten appeared in front of me.
The Banpo Village in front of him is no longer the place where he lives with simple folk customs, harmonious neighbors, and a paradise. The fire was raging, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood was flowing uncontrollably.
Su Ming only felt a "boom" in his mind, and his whole person was numb, walking on the village path step by step, and every step seemed to exhaust all the strength in his body. Familiar faces appeared in front of him, but there was no movement, lying on the ground, his eyes were open, as if he wanted to say something to Su Ming
I walked all over the village, and everywhere was the same, and there was not a single living person.
Su Ming sat on the ground weakly, crying silently, crying and crying, and felt his stomach roll up, and kept vomiting.
He still remembers that when he first came to Banpo Village, an eldest lady with a kind face, just like her own aunt, let herself live in her house, boil hot water for herself, and cook for herself.
He also remembers that he bought some candy from the city and gave it to a little girl. The little girl licked it twice, but she was greedy and reluctant to eat, and finally left it to her younger brother. Watching his younger brother eat sweetly, he secretly swallowed saliva on the side.
He still remembers that a young man in the village accidentally saw that after he practiced, he pestered himself to learn from a teacher, and even secretly went up the mountain to beat a raccoon dog for this reason. The honest smile of the young man still appears in front of him.
He remembered many, many, many, just now, gone.
Su Ming cried until he couldn't shed tears, and he couldn't even spit out a little sour water. I don't know how long it took, Su Ming got up silently, went to get the tools, slowly dug a pit in the mountain, and buried the villagers who had been humiliated and tortured and killed in it.
There has never been such a moment of powerlessness and hatred for the loss of life.
"I, Su Ming, swear here, if I don't kill these beasts, I will kill myself!" Su Ming knelt in front of the tomb, the sadness had passed, and now his heart was burning with raging anger and murderous intent.
Such unscrupulous bandits who tortured and killed civilians were no longer human beings in Su Ming's heart.
The routes of the bandits' comings and goings were clear, and Su Ming chased after him along the trail after forcing himself to eat some food. Eat some dry food when you're hungry and drink some water when you're thirsty. When the water ran out, he peeled off the bark of the grass roots, squeezed out the juice, and drank bitter and astringent in his mouth.
After walking for a long time, he saw a wave of bandits, there were probably dozens of people, and from their loud chatting and laughing and the things they robbed, Su Ming had already determined that this was the bandit who robbed Banpo Village. He didn't show his head rashly, but kept following behind. They followed them for most of the day, and it was not until nightfall that the bandits returned to the mountains.
Su Ming silently remembered the lair of these bandits in his heart and returned to the nearest town. After buying a lot of necessary things, Su Ming built a spear tip at the blacksmith. Quietly, he returned to the foot of the bandits' lair and began to carefully observe the situation of the bandits.
Su Ming only felt that he seemed to be in a strange situation, his mind was full of anger, and he wanted to rush forward and kill all the bandits. But his heart was as cold as an eternal ice, suppressing the anger of his thoughts. He clearly knew that there were a lot of bandits in this gang, and many of them still had guns, so they rushed forward rashly, just to send them to death.
Those who practice martial arts must be bloody and not bully the weak, but they must not be humiliated. When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. Bloodiness is not impulsive, calmness is not ruthlessness.
The mind is like fire, and the heart is as calm as water. Opposites, yet strange and communive.
Quietly hiding under the mountain, many pictures flashed in Su Ming's heart. In my previous life, I had also seen all kinds of situations of bandits in the Republic of China, but after all, it was a line of text on paper, far less shocking than what I saw with my own eyes, which made people stunned and angry!
Some bandits cut off their fingers in order to snatch the gold ring from someone's hand. Some bandits have cut the belly of a pregnant woman alive because of a bet, just to see if the child inside is a boy or a girl. Some bandits were able to cut off his lower body because of a child's joke. Hostages taken by bandits, especially women, are subjected to all kinds of abuse, even torture and killing.
Such a deformed being, or one that should not have existed in this world.
After observing for three or four days in a row, Su Ming basically determined that there were about 100 bandits on this mountain, and about half of them had guns. Every once in a while, they go out and rob. After the robbery, most of them will return to the cottage, and some people will be the informant or internal response of the bandits outside.
Seeing that the sky was gloomy, Su Ming ate some food in advance to ensure that he could have sufficient physical strength. After dark, a strong wind blew, as if it could blow people away. With a roar of thunder, a silver snake pierced the night sky, and the rain rained down with a torrential down.
The mountains in this area are already connected to Changbai Mountain, and even in July, the temperature is only a few degrees at night. When it rains, the temperature is lower, and when the rain hits the body, it really feels cold to the bone.
Su Ming stood quietly in the dark night, letting the cold rain drench his whole body. The heavier and colder the rain fell, the more the anger in his heart burned. The killing intent in his heart is also getting stronger and stronger, almost piercing his heart and emitting out of his body!
It's dark, cold, and rainy nights, and it's a good time to kill.
After taking the package, the three steel short sticks were put together, and then the head of the gun was loaded, and it was a good big gun. In particular, the head of the spear deliberately opened a blood groove, and under the occasional flash of lightning, it flashed with bloodthirsty light.
Su Ming held a big gun, took a rope, and walked towards the mountain.
"I'm here, it's time for you to hit the road."
