Chapter 3 The Thunder of the Tiger and the Leopard
...............
The next day, on the shore of Acacia Lake, the sky was still a little gray at six o'clock in the morning, and Sun Changning had been "squatting" here for half an hour.
Zamabu, to be exact.
Wang Qinglian kept correcting Sun Changning's movements, and at the same time, he kept thinking in his mouth: "Here, here must be right, right, the head must be correct! The body bones and hip bones must also be ......"
"If the body is right, you can do it, and if you don't have the right body, you can't do it properly, and in the end, it's a puddle of mud, and it's very weak. ”
Beads of sweat oozed from Sun Changning's forehead, and his legs had already begun to tremble, this is not a standing military posture, anyone who has undergone military training or military service knows that standing still is much easier than Zama step, of course, you must master the correct way to stand, and this horse step is the same.
Wang Qinglian looked at Sun Changning's movements and couldn't help but praise: "It's okay, brother, ordinary people can't do it in about twenty minutes, you can still maintain your shape for half an hour, although your meaning is almost gone." ”
Sun Changning's lips were trembling, and at this time he had no time to listen to Wang Qinglian's words, and his mind was highly concentrated, almost to the point where his head began to buzz.
"Stop!"
Wang Qinglian suddenly snapped his fingers, it was like a switch, Sun Changning let out a breath violently, and sat on the ground. Wang Qingcurtain, pull him up, let him stand relaxed, not sit on the ground.
"Mabu is the foundation, just like building a high-rise building, the foundation is laid, the top can be stable, the building can resist several earthquakes depends on the foundation and materials, the perfect foundation plus excellent materials, in order to build a high-rise building. ”
"Pile work needs horse steps, horse steps are like the foundation of pile work, the so-called stand out of a horse, that is, the body should be synchronized with the horse steps, not blindly dead stands, to be active, just like I taught you, the body should rise and fall slightly with the breath, but the feet can not move, but the hip bones are moving, and the spine should be like a dragon to the sky at the same time, that is, the body bones can not be crooked. ”
Wang Qinglian thought about it and explained: " It's like a military posture, you have trained in the military, when standing in a military posture, the toes of the two feet should be separated by 60 degrees, but not a dead stand, the back heel is not on the ground, but to be slightly lifted, that is, a semi-suspended state, and the body should be slightly tilted forward, about between five and fifteen degrees, and in this way, the human body is still straight and straight, the waist and abdomen should be closed, the chest should be straight, the neck should be straight, the head should not be crooked, and the eyes should be looking forward, so that the blood of the human body is active, the breath circulates repeatedly, and over time, there is naturally a spirit to be trained. ”
"Military training relies on long-term practice to achieve this kind of spiritual retention, but they can hold it but cannot receive it, so after the training is completed, the physical strength is exhausted and it returns to the original state. Only by prolonging the time as long as possible can there be the so-called 'iron will', and it is undeniable that the power of discipline is powerful. And we practice, unlike them, pay attention to a free retraction, which is a lock word. It is to lock this essence and spirit, that is, to lock this "qi" and "will" in the body, so that it is an energetic situation at any time, of course, the work and rest can not be messed up, you have to stay up late every day to play games will definitely not have this effect. ”
"Essence and spirit, essence is the physical strength of the human body, but also strength, and qi sounds more mysterious, in fact it is not complicated, this is the breath of people, the fundamental breath of themselves, breath is qi, there is also the interaction of qi during exercise, generally in big cities, the breath we breathe and the breath of our own existence, there will be qi surging together. Usually the air in the big city, in the Taoist can be called 'red dust', 'turbidity', and the deep mountains and old forests have not been developed, on the cliffs, where the air is fresh, people will go to the head after the head is clear, the body is also particularly powerful, one is high oxygen content, the other is less pollution, this is the so-called 'clear qi', 'aura', and qi and blood are closely related, practice martial arts and refine qi and blood, strong qi and blood are strong. ”
This god is the will of oneself, and it can also be regarded as the soul, the will, and the consciousness. In Taoism, it is called the original god, of course, we are mortals, do not engage in a set of cultivating immortals, this god is its own divine will, you looked at me in the car before, I think people are very tall, that is qi, very powerful, that is fine, there is an indescribable temperament, this is God. ”
"As the old saying goes: there are three treasures in the sky, which are the sun, moon and stars, the earth has three treasures, which are water, fire, and wind, and people have three treasures, which are spirits, spirits, and spirits!"
Wang Qinglian carefully exposed these truths and told them eloquently, while Sun Changning listened carefully, these things he had never been exposed to, which aroused his strong curiosity at this time.
"You can't fall off this horse step, this is the basic skill, three days, I let you stand for three days, and after three days I will teach you a pile method, but if you really want to stand this pile method, you need to practice the horse step for a month. ”
"When you can do what you did at the beginning, for four hours without moving, that's it. ”
"At that point, mosquitoes and flies don't bite, and insects won't come to you, because insects belong to yin, and in Taoism, the human body is yang and the yin insects retreat, which is exactly the truth. ”
Sun Changning was speechless when he heard it, and after a short break, he began to practice again, and the day passed quickly, and it was not until seven o'clock in the evening that the practice here came to an end.
"Aren't you going back to live with me, you don't have a place to go now. ”
Sun Changning sent an invitation to Wang Qinglian, Nanyang Senior High School is a key high school in J City, Sun Changning's place is rented, and his home is in another county quite far away, dozens of kilometers away from here.
The landlord had a relationship with him before, in fact, they were all fellow villagers from the county, not a few years older than Sun Changning, and they often played together when they were children, but then there was no news, until Sun Changning was admitted to Nanyang Senior High School, and then I saw him again.
He didn't come back once or twice for a year and a half, he made a fortune outside, ran a boat, and had two villas by himself, and this old house was idle, which was lent to Sun Changning.
Wang Qinglian shook his head: "No need, I'm here to guide you, you have to go back and have a good rest, gather your spirits, and I also have to rest and recuperate, the fresh air on the shore of this Acacia Lake is exactly what I want." ”
"I am one-third of the Taoist family, and one-third of the Buddhist family, and the remaining one-third is myself, a martial artist, I am used to eating hard, and I can't stand it. I told you before, I came to J City to find someone, the first time we met, I went to him, but after reading it, I knew that this person is very powerful, I am not sure, or maybe it's just five or five. That's why I'm going to recharge my energy and get the best out of me. ”
"It's still early, I'm accumulating momentum here, about forty-nine days, these forty-nine days, a month and a half, is the time I teach you. ”
"Originally, I wanted to teach you to deal with things casually, but seeing you work so hard, it's really hard to let go, I'm more nosy, and my master often scolds me for being full. ”
"There aren't many people boxing now, of course, it seems to be everywhere in the industry, but in fact, there are too many fewer people than in the past, and some boxing techniques have declined, or even disappeared completely. ”
Saying goodbye to Wang Qinglian, Sun Changning dragged his tired body home, and when he left, Wang Qinglian told him not to take the bus, it was best to walk back, don't breathe chaotically on the road, and be even, and when he got home, most of the soreness would disappear.
Sun Changning followed Wang Qinglian's teachings, along the way against luck, adjusted his breathing, walked about a kilometer, his body began to heat up, he thought it was a normal walking reaction, but found that something was wrong, his breathing was unusually smooth, and his steps were getting faster and faster, and it seemed that the weight on his body was getting lighter and lighter.
This is an illusion, a self-wrong perception of the brain and the human body, in fact, Sun Changning's body is already very tired, but due to the wonderful use of the breathing method, his brain makes a judgment that the body actually has spare strength, and then affects the nerves and muscles.
This is equivalent to the effect of "invigorating blood and removing blood stasis", but it is chronic, and Sun Changning is just tired, and there are no bruises and wounds.
When he returned home, Sun Changning didn't feel tired, he pushed open the door, there was no movement in the room, and when he turned his head again, he saw a pair of green pupils staring at him.
The wonton began to scream, seemingly unhappy, and it jumped off the table and pulled its small bowl out, as if protesting against Sun Changning. Sun Changning glanced at it and patted his head, it turned out that the cat food in it was gone, and it seemed that the wontons were hungry.
"Meow!
Wonton danced his little paws, watching his stupid big man take out cat food from the kitchen, and then snorting happily to eat, while Sun Changning sat back at the table and took out the few puppets that had not been carved.
The tool was taken out, Sun Changning took a long breath and began to work. In his head, he kept replaying various movements during the day, including Wang Qingcurtain's demonstration, at this time, the tip of the knife in his hand jumped, flying up and down, and about an hour later, a human figure with a horse step was carved.
Sun Changning looked at the puppet, its face was gone, and suddenly, Sun Changning felt that the puppet seemed to have some kind of different temperament in it, like having life, it was really walking on a horse, not just making a move.
If the carving used to be tangible, then now this Zamabu doll has a god.
There is no god in the form, and there is God in the form.
Sun Changning's consciousness paused for a moment, and at this time, the wonton was attracted by the puppet and jumped lightly onto Sun Changning's shoulder.
The body reacted, Sun Changning woke up, and reached out to catch the wonton, but he didn't expect his old cat to dodge as soon as he turned over, but ran to his head instead.
"Meow~"
As if to show off his might, the wonton screamed, his tail curled, standing on Sun Changning's head, like the head of the family, like a little emperor, in the face of the clutches stretched out by the shovel officer, the wonton was completely ignored, so one person and one cat began to chase each other, until fifteen minutes later, Sun Changning's face had a cat's paw print, and the wonton was lying on the top of the wardrobe, meowing, as if provocative.
For the wonton, this is just a daily play, its own skills have always been agile, once chased three dogs from the gate of the community to the east gate, including a second ha.
"When I practice boxing, I can't even catch a cat. ”
Sun Changning smiled bitterly, and finally used the allure of small dried fish to lure the wontons off the wardrobe, and after appeasing the wontons, Sun Changning began to take a horse step, so that another hour passed, and he went to take a bath after sweating profusely, and slept peacefully.
At this time, on the shore of Acacia Lake, Wang Qinglian sat on a gardening stone, his hands facing each other, his eyes slightly closed, and his chest slightly undulating, as if he was meditating.
If someone listens carefully, they can faintly hear the sound of thunder in his chest, and every time his chest rises and falls, the bones and blood of his body make a sound like thunder, which is exactly the sign of the sound of muscles and bones, and the thunder of tigers and leopards.
