Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bamboo Forest Listens to the Waves and Sighs
"Not bad, not bad." Huang Lao nodded appreciatively, "Sure enough, he is a one-in-a-million martial arts genius, and his comprehension is so high that he can't see it once in a hundred years......"
"Huang Lao, I now understand the root cause of the disease and know the solution, but I don't have a solution. Look at ......" Wu Peng looked at Huang Lao expectantly.
Huang Lao's face suddenly stiffened, and he glared at Wu Peng for a long time before he said stupidly: "Make wedding clothes for others, make wedding clothes for others!" ”
"Blame you stinky boy!" Huang Lao angrily scolded Wu Peng, "You obviously feel that your body is injured, and your braincase is broken, and you still need to practice?" I don't know how thick the sky is, and you're not afraid of practicing to death? Now that it hurts the root bones and five organs, it can't be changed! ”
Wu Peng smiled: "Elder Huang, I really want to listen to your teachings. Why don't you wait for my injury to heal, why don't you be your teacher and learn Wing Chun instead? ”
"How can it be that simple?" Huang Lao shook his head and said regretfully. "If you don't practice hard, you can change it as much as you want, and even if you practice hard, you can change it if you are careful. But now that you've got a problem with your practice, you can cure it, but if you want to cure it at its root, you can't change your path indiscriminately......"
"If you forcibly change to other martial arts, unless you don't have a good future, you don't want to reach the pinnacle of martial arts for the rest of your life. Alas, it's a pity, I want to take you, but accepting you is equivalent to ruining you, alas......"
"Why?" Wu Peng didn't understand much, so he immediately asked.
"Xinyi boxing is different from any type of boxing, whether it is Tai Chi, Xingyi or Bagua, Wing Chun, the whole strength comes from the lower dantian." Huang Lao explained, "But the whole strength of your Xinyi Fist comes from the upper dantian, but the root strength gushes in the soles of your feet and runs through your body. ”
"What is rectification? What is Root Strength? Wu Peng asked again.
"Rectification is the overall strength of my hand to lift the jujube in my pocket." Huang Lao made a well-understood analogy, "The root strength lies in the root of this energy, where does this energy come from?" For this pocket of red dates, the root of this strength comes from my wrist, so the power emitted by my wrist is the root strength. ”
"Oh, so to speak, after the whole energy comes out, you can still send out many types of energy." Wu Peng suddenly came to his senses and immediately drew inferences, and he remembered the various ways of exercising with his pocket or shaking, lifting, or throwing.
"Clever." Huang Lao praised it, and then continued to explain the problem of Wu Peng's injury.
"If you know the trick of luck and open up the road from Shangdantian to Yongquan Cave step by step, it will naturally come naturally. But you just open the way and nothing else, and that's a big problem. ”
"It's as if you drive a tank through a vegetable market, and you are stunned to open a way, and the vegetable stalls that you have damaged, the various vegetables that have been crushed, and the vegetable vendors who have scared them away, they will be killed."
Wu Peng blushed slightly when he heard this, didn't he? I only practice boxing, and I feel that I work hard, but I don't care if my body can stand it or not, isn't it just like a tank that is rampage through the market?
Huang Lao then explained: "Then what if you want to restore this market now? It is certain that little by little along the road that the tank broke through, rebuild the vegetable stalls, buy vegetables, and call back the vegetable sellers. While tinkering, there is a similar path by the way, but this time it is much gentler and much easier. ”
"So, you also have to heal with the strength of your heart fist." Huang Lao sighed, "If we change to another road, this road that has been washed out of chaos will not be restored to the best, and the vegetable sellers who were scared away will never be able to call it back." Your body has been left with this damage forever, and it is almost impossible to go further in the future. ”
"So that's the case......" Wu Peng was thoughtful, frowning slightly. In this way, when my injuries are fully recovered, the unique strength of this Xinyi Fist will be completely consolidated. In the future, I can only practice Xinyi Fist? ”
"It's not that it can't," Huang Lao said with a smile, "It's just that the strength is different, and the things that are practiced are plausible, whether they are good or bad, I can't tell." ”
"Then why can't you drive two strong roads?" Wu Peng questioned again.
Huang Lao's eyes widened: "I just praised you for being smart, why are you stupid?" ”
Wu Peng regretted it after asking, and secretly scolded himself for his stupidity. At this time, he was scolded by Huang Lao, he scratched his head in annoyance, and his expression was scornful.
Damn, two strong roads? Is there two instincts? What a mess!
"Your Xinyi Fist has passed on several veins, Henan faction, Nanyang faction, Luoyang faction, etc., the most famous is Dai's." Huang Lao motioned for Wu Peng to go to the bamboo forest, and spoke casually. "At that time, Mr. Feiyu, the ancestor of Xingyi Boxing, was worshiped under the Dai family, and later Li Feiyu learned and created Xingyi Boxing born from Xinyi Boxing. Since then, the shape and meaning have flourished, and the mind has gradually declined. The enmity between the two doors of form and mind is the origin of this. ”
"Is that Xingyi Fist powerful, or is it Xinyi Fist?" Wu Peng asked curiously.
"There are no great punches, only great boxers." Huang Lao said solemnly.
"Regardless of the others, Mr. Fei Yu can be regarded as a genius." Huang Lao sat on the stone bench and continued. "The shape is heavy, the mind is heavy, who is short and who is long, there is no conclusion now. Although Xingyi was born from Xinyiquan, in fact, the two are already different from the root. ”
"Ji Jike, the ancestor of Xinyiquan, is determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty all his life, so the actual function of Xinyiquan is to kill in the army, and it is important to kill the enemy with one blow. Looking at the handicap of Xinyiquan, you can feel a domineering rush to your face, and almost all of them are a way of thinking to solve the opponent in person. ”
Although Xingyiquan follows the mind spectrum, it is influenced by Baguazhang, and the actual thinking is relatively soft. It's more to think about what if you can't solve the opponent in one face? Can you win more easily? Therefore, the shape and meaning are even more tricky. ”
Huang Lao sighed: "In fact, the great prosperity of the shape and meaning is also in line with the laws of history. The mind is a battlefield boxing, but the shape is a ring boxing. Where is it used on the battlefield to learn boxing now? If you want to kill people at every turn, you will naturally be eliminated. ”
The old man said it with embarrassment, but in fact, it also evoked an exclamation for Wing Chun. In the 50s, the art of Wing Chun short fights was taboo in the police department because of its specialization in grappling and fighting; Coupled with the lax selection of apprentices, there were many street gangsters, so it was once listed as a ban on boxing, which was also the darkest era of Wing Chun, and Wing Chun declined as a result, and it was not until the 70s that it improved.
Shaking his head, Huang Lao looked at Wu Peng and said: "After the decline of Xinyiquan, many schools of Xinyi have come to Hong Kong, including one of the veins of your Xinyi Liuhe Fist. ”
"At that time, the successor of Nanyang Xinyi Boxing and I got acquainted, and we talked about the Tao with boxing, and we had a very good relationship. Unfortunately, before he could open a museum in Hong Kong to teach art, he died of a serious illness. Before he died, he handed me the ancient score of Xinyi, and asked me to protect Nanyang Xinyi Fist and find a successor from generation to generation. ”
Wu Peng was sitting precariously, and his breath suddenly held his breath when he heard the words.
Huang Lao smiled: "You are a martial arts genius, but it's a pity that you don't have a chance with me Wing Chun." But fortunately, what you learn is Xinyi Liuhequan, which is a branch of Xinyi Boxing, and the root is the same. My identity as a protector is also useful! Old friend, old friend, I will help you fulfill your last wish, but where is the true successor of my Wing Chun? ”
Huang Lao's endless depression and sighs, with the panic of losing his skills, and the regret of missing out on his talents. At this time, the sound of the wind entering the bamboo forest was like waves, just like the grandmaster's difficult to calm down.
Wu Peng was silent, he couldn't understand the old man's lonely mood, he just thought of himself. From being forced to learn boxing to taking the initiative to learn boxing, to practicing mistakes and being injured, now the clouds are open, and the true legend is in sight. The difficulties and dangers in this are like drinking water, only oneself knows oneself.
Of course, from beginning to end, he was for self-preservation, for the task. But things have developed to the present, and he has truly regarded learning boxing as his own request.
This is a knowledge worth spending a lifetime studying, and a Tao worth defending with your life!
