Chapter 16: The Sixty-Four Hands of the Gong Family
Dapeng's heart moved inexplicably, his hands raised to the center of his eyebrows, and then slowly pressed to his lower abdomen. I want to press all the qi of my whole body into my lower abdomen. But he didn't expect that although his hand pressed his lower abdomen, he seemed to be pumping into the full tire, and he couldn't press it down. Feeling the pain in the lower abdomen, the abdomen was like hunger, gurgling, Dapeng could no longer suppress it, and the qi in the abdomen churned upwards violently, rushing out. Dapeng was involuntarily rushed out of his mouth, and a long whistle rushed out of his mouth.
At the same time, Dapeng felt that there was still a small amount of hot air along his face, rushing to his head, and then stopped at his temples, feeling clear and refreshed all of a sudden.
Listening to Dapeng's long roar, Gong Er couldn't help but say a few times, "Good! good!" The old man in the room also walked out, and his eyes showed undisguised appreciation.
"Come in!"
Dapeng was still intoxicated in the state just now, and when he heard the old man call him, he couldn't care about the aftertaste, and he entered the house with the figure of the old man, and after the old man sat down steadily, Gong Er also stood beside the old man, looking at the Dapeng who came in, the old man said slowly, "Zhang Peng, do you know the origin of our Xingyi Bagua Gate?"
Dapeng shook his head, pretending not to be very clear.
"Our Baguazhang is also known as the Swimming Body Baguazhang and the Bagua Serial Palm, and we are taught by Dong Haichuan. My master is Dong Haichuan's eldest apprentice Yin Fu, because it is criss-crossed when it moves, it is divided into four positive corners and eight directions, which is similar to the hexagram of "Zhou, so it is called Baguazhang." In my life, I have combined Xingyi Fist and Baguazhang, so we have Xingyi Bagua Gate. ”
"The most important thing in the Bagua palm is the Cheng faction and our palace faction two factions, the Bagua palm mainly has eight mother palms, also known as the old eight palms, that is, single palm, double palm, homeopathic palm, back palm, turn over palm, grinding palm, three wear palms and turn back palms, the content of the circulation is not exactly the same, there are lions, deer, snakes, harriers, dragons, bears, phoenixes, monkeys eight forms of representatives, there are also double palms, shaking palms, wearing palms, picking palms and so on as the basic content of the eight palms. Each of these palms can derive a lot of palms, known as one palm gives birth to eight palms, eight eight sixty-four palms, ever-changing, which is the origin of our palace family sixty-four hands. ”
"I'm telling you these things mainly to let you know about the inheritance of our Gong family, how long have you been practicing with Gong Er these days, how do you feel?"
"It's good, I've never been exposed to this before, and now I'm feeling a little addicted. ”
"Okay, since you like it too, and you can be fascinated, then I'm ready to take you in. When Dapeng heard this, he was about to kneel on the ground to meet the old man, but was stopped by the palace old man and said, "Although I am ready to accept you as an apprentice, I will not accept you as an apprentice." ”
After listening to Gong Lao's words, Dapeng looked at Gong Er beside him and thought: Could it be that Gong Lao asked me to worship Gong Er as a teacher?
"Don't look at her, I'm going to take in the apprentices on my behalf. Wait until you pick a good day, call all the people in our faction, and then give you a ceremony!"
Dapeng was a little confused, he thought that it would be good to worship Gong Lao as a teacher, but he didn't expect that now Gong Lao would accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher, and then he and Gong Bu would have a relationship with the brothers. Feeling that something was wrong, he hurriedly said, "No, no, I am very honored that Gong Lao can worship you as a teacher, and it can be commensurate with your senior brother." ”
"Dad, isn't there something wrong with this? Gong Er also felt that it was a bit too much.
"I have already retired and no longer accept apprentices, my eldest apprentices Ma San and Gong Er are not qualified to accept you, if you don't want to join our palace faction, then you don't have to worship my master." ”
This is a choice that he didn't have, Dapeng listened to Gong Lao's words and no longer shirked, thought for a while and said, "Old man, can my apprenticeship banquet be simply handled, I don't care about these." I just want to learn Kung Fu quietly. ”
"Dapeng, do you know why we ceremoniously worship your apprentice?" said Gong Er.
Without waiting for Dapeng to talk, Gong Er continued: "The purpose of the apprenticeship banquet is to let others know that you are a member of our palace family, you can use our palace family's connections, inheritance, and prestige, if you do it simply like this, no one will know you." You know what?"
"Gong Lao, I don't care about this. I'm only interested in kung fu, so I can save it. Of course Dapeng knows what Gong Er said, but he can't be too high-profile now, now the Gong family has been noticed by many people, if he lets the Gong family put on a banquet, then he will immediately spread his fame, and not only other forces will notice him. Even the RB people will pay attention to him. What's more, there is a useless Ma San at home. At the same time, Dapeng became Ma San's elder, and it is estimated that Ma San will not sincerely obey him as an uncle. Although this makes him unable to rely on the power of the Gong family now, it also makes him less noticeable for the time being, and he can practice martial arts well.
"Since you insist, then I won't force it. It's better to break the sun than to hit the sun, follow me to the ancestral hall to meet the ancestor!" didn't give Dapeng a chance to regret it, and immediately took him to meet the patriarch.
Dapeng honestly followed the old man to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestor and the master, and put on incense. Since then, he has been the third generation of Baguazhang.
"Second master!" When he got out of the gate of the ancestral hall, he heard Jiang Lao come to say this, and Dapeng suddenly felt that his head was big. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "Elder Jiang, don't! You are killing me, folding my life! You can call me Dapeng." Otherwise, I'm uncomfortable. ”
Jiang Lao glanced at the old man Gong, and the old man looked at Dapeng and said, "Since he doesn't want to, let him be!"
From today onwards, the Gong family has another newcomer to join, but this newcomer is a little special, he is the same generation as the head of the Gong family. Even Gong Er had to call him "Uncle Shi", but Dapeng strongly demanded it, and in the end, he was called Dapeng as before.
The next day it was dawn
In the backyard of the palace family, the old man personally went down and began to teach Dapeng Baguazhang, you must know that "gossip is black, Xingyi is domineering" started with Xingyi when he learned boxing when he was a child in Gong's second child. Unexpectedly, the old man directly began to teach him Baguazhang.
"Although Baguazhang is ever-changing, it is the foundation or eight postures, you see me practice. The old man opened the stance, bent his legs and knees, and gently spread his five fingers into palms, slowly pushing forward, squeezing, pressing, turning, and kneading. Rotate your body with the footwork under your feet, and your eyes always follow the vigorous hand, up and down, both left and right, very flexible. "Double palm, single palm, homeopathic palm, turn palm, turn palm, turn palm, flirt with yin palm, rub palm, rub palm. Eight basic boxing frames, you see my legs and footwork! My steps like this are called 'mud steps', and the footwork requires smooth ups and downs, clear buckles, clear distinction between virtual and real, walking like mud, moving forward like sitting in a sedan chair, and rubbing the shin when the feet go out. When walking in a circle, the inner foot should go straight in, the outer foot should be buckled inward, and the knees should be hugged without opening the crotch. The body method pays attention to twisting, spinning, turning, turning, and not stagnation. The leg method should be shaped like a scissor with two legs, and the walk should be like wading through mud. Leg method: swing buckle kicking, crumbling and kicking, splitting and cutting. Bagua palm has the use of bright legs and dark legs, but the palms of the legs are all together, and the dark legs are the mainstay. The old man explained to Dapeng as he spoke. At first, the old man practiced very slowly, but the faster he got to the end, the faster he went, and he couldn't see the old man's pace clearly, and then in the end, the old man slowed down again.
Dapeng also began to follow the old man's movements and pace to learn slowly, the shelf of the Baguazhang is not difficult, in less than two hours, he learned the eight basic boxing frames. Stopping the posture in his hand, Dapeng thought about the difference between him and the old man.
"The shelf posture is right, and the steps are not bad, but remember to move the spine! Your three-body pose has been introduced, and you feel the qi, our Baguazhang is the inner fist, and the inner family is to lock the qi. You have to integrate the pile method into the fist method, so that you can really enter the door of the inner house. ”
After listening to the old man's words, the greenhouse nodded, and began to practice slowly again. Push slowly with both palms, turn the body with footwork, feel more and more proficient, every time you make a palm, the strength can be in place, the whole body sweats and heats, and the palm is the center of gravity at the tail of the spine, the cold hair of the whole body explodes, goosebumps erupt. The heat of the whole body is drumming back and forth with the palm gesture. But unlike just now, the drumming of one hot and one cold now fills every part of the body.
Dapeng's palm momentum was one after another, and the hot air gushing out of his body was always running around his body, and after practicing a few times, he felt his body like a big balloon, and felt the swelling pain all over his body. However, he knew that his body was not really bulging, it was an illusion caused by the qi in his body after stimulating the nerves in the pores.
Dapeng gradually felt that he couldn't continue to lock the heat in his body when he fell off his spine and closed his pores, and the qi running all over his body became thicker and thicker, and suddenly, the constricted pores were suddenly washed away by this wave of qi, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl, and immediately sweated like rain, and his whole body was soaked.
The old man laughed, "Not bad, yes, but I still haven't been able to lock this qi, the three-body pose is a slight fluttering spine, the amount of qi is very small, you can lock it, but now the shelf of Baguazhang has moved to every part of the body, all the qi has emerged, and your pore strength is not enough to lock it, so let it run." When you feel that you can't close your pores, you should stop immediately, and keep your pores closed all over your body, and that qi will slowly precipitate to the lower abdomen, between the waist and legs, and some of them will rise to the temples, so that you will slowly transform your body and increase the power of your pore contraction. Take care of your body and increase your strength. This is the effect of self-cultivation that we call in the inner boxing. ”
