Chapter 097: Mental Law

However, the purpose of practicing the routines is not to make you very capable of fighting immediately, but to give you the possibility of being very capable of fighting.

What is martial arts practiced?

Take off and turn three hundred and six, jump whirlwind feet?

Or is the boy worshipping Guanyin, and the carp is stiff?

Neither.

The real martial arts are practiced in the coordination of the hands, eyes, and body steps, and the practice is the quality of self-improvement, but some people equate the routines with traditional martial arts, which is also a great sadness of Chinese martial arts.

You must know that no matter which school of kung fu is far more than the "routine" part, any martial arts school has the most basic three components.

The first is to practice the soft and hard of anti-combat and lethality, the second is to practice the basic routine of body training coordination, and the third is to go through the dismantling and sparring that must be experienced in free-hand combat and actual combat.

From the perspective of boxing attainments alone, these three things complement each other and are indispensable.

Grandpa teaches kung fu, he loves to grasp the basics, you learn things from him, it's miserable, he can make you squat until you vomit.

The third grandfather teaches kung fu is different, he loves actual combat when he teaches kung fu, a few hands are handed over to you, you two will dismantle it, if you don't practice thousands of eight hundred times, you won't teach you the next move.

His principle is very simple, that is, to teach one move will be one move, and he will not learn until the upper body of Kung Fu.

It is precisely for this reason that the tricks he taught, I still use them handily, this experience made me fully aware of the importance of "learning to apply", so, during the period of learning kung fu with the old Tao, I learned the 64 kinds of loose hands of the old Tao very seriously, there are many gains here, of course, it is difficult to understand the subtlety that has not been experienced in person.

In contrast, I was reluctant to spin my palms in circles around the tree.

I thought it was quite rigid and a bit formalistic, so I didn't study much from the beginning to the end.

Because of this, I have been scolded a lot, but I am a naturally stubborn person, and it is difficult to listen to things that are not right.

Later, the old Taoist got angry, and if he didn't teach anything else, he let me practice turning my palm every day, and the eight bricks stood up, so I walked on it, and walked 32 laps in the opposite direction, and if I accidentally stepped on the brick, I had to start again.

This lack of morality made me suffer a lot, crying and shouting that I would not study, but the third grandfather and they didn't take my crying seriously, and then I was anxious, and I ran away from home with two pieces of bread, and after two and a half days, I was so hungry that I ran back.

I was beaten up for this, and this incident made the old man a little embarrassed, and I often saw him sigh for two days, and I didn't care about it at the time.

It happened that it was snowing heavily that day, and I could still see footprints, and I was very upset to learn about it, so I chased him out in the heavy snow, and walked for nearly ten miles until I finally saw him in front of a grave.

He was still wearing the patched robes, and he was sitting leaning in front of a mound, leaning on the ground with one hand and a wine jug in the other.

I walked over and kowtowed to him, but he didn't say anything, sighed and got up and left.

I knelt on the ground and didn't get up, but after a while he came back, took out a broken book without a cover in his arms, and brought me two pills.

He said that the fate of master and apprentice is over, he can no longer teach me, this book and the pill are his own, keep it well, and it will be useful one day.

I took the book and turned two pages, there were all kinds of graphics on it, at first glance, it looked like the legendary martial arts cheats, and I was attracted after a few clicks.

Since then, the crumpled little ** has become my baby, and when it's okay, I'm going to show off with the little brothers, but, no one can understand the children of the same age, grandpa, they can't read, and they can't figure out what is written in it.

As for the two pills, I secretly ate them early, and I didn't react after eating them, but I remember that the thing was a little bitter.

Now that I think about it, I was really bold at that time, and I wouldn't have been able to do such a thing if I had a hundred more dares.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen him since that winter vacation, and I haven't had a chance to ask what those two pills are for.

In order to understand the content of the book, I also wasted a lot of effort, at that time, I could often be seen holding a dictionary all day long blind research, a pass, nothing else learned but the ancient Chinese or something was very thorough, the language grades have come up, and the academic performance is also good, but I didn't figure it out until I went to junior high school, the booklet is not a way to subdue demons and catch ghosts, nor is it a great martial arts cheats, what is recorded on it is a very obscure qigong method.

When it comes to qigong, many people will frown slightly.

In China, no, it should be said that in today's China, many people are prejudiced against traditional things, such as traditional Chinese medicine, which has been passed down for thousands of years, are labeled as pseudoscience, not to mention the seemingly unbounded knowledge of internal strength.

Insiders know that there are many ways to classify martial arts, and in the general direction, there are two main parts: "physical use".

"Body" is the foundation for cultivating oneself, and "use" is the technique for hurting others.

Internal cultivation is a kind of internal refining method corresponding to hard qigong, which belongs to the category of "body", and its theoretical source is inseparable from traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people have three treasures, that is, essence, qi and spirit.

Among the Three Treasures, the most basic is qi, and the most important is qi, qi can turn essence, qi can turn blood, and qi is the foundation of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan.

Therefore, whether it is the kung fu of the monk or the skill of the Tao, its internal cultivation is inseparable from the most basic components of "qi cultivation, qi transformation, luck, and qi refining".

The early qigong, mainly guided and breathed into the form, was closer to the most common fitness qigong of "Yijin Jing, Wufowl Opera, Baduanjin, and Liuzi Jue", of course, the qigong in the martial arts circle was richer and more practical than this.

What is recorded in that book is a method of cultivating qi similar to meditation, which is completely different from what is passed down from the family, but for me who has some basic knowledge in this area, it is not difficult to learn, and the main obstacle is still in the expressions of those literary crepes.

The way the ancients spoke was very concise, and one or two words could be formed into a sentence on their own, which was difficult for a primary school student who did not have a little foundation in classical Chinese.

So, it took me a long, long time to learn what was written on it.
