Chapter 1: Red Sandhand
"Red sand hand, also known as red sand palm and cinnabar palm, is a stunt in martial arts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info has always been taught only by teachers, and there are very few people who are proficient in this skill. My teacher, Mr. Xia, is familiar with this technique. In order not to lose this stunt, with the consent of Mr. Xia, it is introduced below for the benefit of readers. ”
"The red sand hand exercise can make the hands infinitely powerful, strengthen the muscles and bones, smooth the qi and blood, improve the function of internal organs, and prolong the life of the disease. Legend has it that after the Red Sand Hand Martial Artist uses internal qi to penetrate the palm of his hand, he will release a strong air flow when he high-fives, causing internal injuries to the opponent. When it was first applied, the other party did not feel anything, but after a few days, a vermilion palm print appeared on the wound, hence the name. ”
Lin Xu lay on the head of the bed, looking at the words in the book in his hand, very moved.
Learning martial arts is a dream that every teenager has. As a fourteen-year-old boy, after going to junior high school, he has devoured a lot of martial arts novels that have been circulated among his classmates, and his dream of practicing martial arts is even more ardent.
often fantasizes that he is the protagonist of martial arts novels, holding a three-foot green blade, doing chivalrous righteousness, eradicating rape and evil, and helping the poor. But he can only stop at fantasy, he still knows that this is unrealistic. With his thin body, which has been frail and sickly since he was a child, it is already good not to be bullied, let alone help the weak to eliminate the strong.
But for the idea of practicing martial arts, he never gave up in his heart. It's just a pity that he is neither next to Songshan Shaolin Temple nor Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province, and there are no martial arts boxers within a radius of 100 miles, so he has no way to worship.
Fortunately, today he finally found a way to learn from him. also made the idea of practicing martial arts in his heart out of control.
"Twenty-three, sacrifice to the god of the stove, twenty-four, write big characters, twenty-five, sweep the dust, twenty-six, boil pork, twenty-seven, kill the New Year's chicken, twenty-eighth, put the face and hair, twenty-nine, post the inverted unitary (that is, paste the spring couplet), thirty nights, keep a night. ”
This is the custom of the New Year in the north, and today is the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the day of sweeping the dust. When he took off a few calendars from the walls of his house and sent them to the east room, which was used as a utility room, he found some books in a cardboard box in the east room. And in this pile of books, he found several books on martial arts.
When he asked his father about these books, he said that he had been obsessed with martial arts for a while when he was young, so he bought these books and practiced them accordingly. It's just that I didn't have any achievements in practice, and I let it go when I got older. I don't usually read these books, but I also put them away with some old books.
Regarding this point, Lin Xu had heard his father mention it before, but he hadn't heard him mention these books. There is also an unopened sword at home, which my father bought when he was young, and he liked martial arts. It's not the soft iron sword that the old man and the old lady play now, but it's made of all-steel, with hardness and toughness, but it doesn't open. Compared to the current Lin Xu, it is quite heavy, and it is very difficult to hold it with one hand, and he can't play it at all with his current height.
His father didn't have any opinion on him wanting to practice martial arts, but said that he would practice if he was interested. It's not a bad thing, you can't exercise too much. However, his sister Lin Tong was very curious to snatch the book from his hand and look through it, but obviously had little interest, and returned the book to him after flipping through it for a while.
He didn't rush to read it, he put the book aside first, waited until the house was cleaned inside and out, and the furniture was moved back to be put in place. I also helped my grandfather and grandmother who lived in the same courtyard with my father and sister to clean the house, and finally took the book and lay on my bed to read it carefully when there was nothing to do.
Lin Tong is very happy about this, because no one competes with her for TV anymore.
Lin Xu found a total of seven books, two "Qigong" magazines, the first and second issues of 1983, one "Group B Swordsmanship Illustrations" and one "Group B Swordsmanship Illustrations", both published by the People's Sports Publishing House, and one "Taijiquan Common Sense" and one "Sanlu Huaquan", both published by the People's Sports Publishing House, and finally a "Boxing Sutra", which was published by the Tianjin Ancient Books Bookstore.
And the most special thing is this "Fist Sutra", not only the order of turning the book is the kind of ancient book from left to right, but even the writing order inside is also vertically arranged from left to right. Even the font is all traditional characters, and it looks like it is written with a brush, the preface is a line book, and the table of contents and text are regular script. He didn't know a lot of words, especially the preface written in the previous line, and he could only recognize that the final signature was written in September of the seventh year of the Republic of China, which was written by a person surnamed Lu. The "Reprint Preface" on the first page also says that this book was published by Shanghai Dasheng Book Company in the seventh year of the Republic of China, and the last page also states that it was photocopied by the Tianjin Ancient Book Store.
And this "Fist Sutra" is also the most beautifully packaged in these eight books, the cover is covered with film, with red lines depicting a tall and sturdy monk with half of his arms exposed, posing in a mighty shape, looking up at a forty-five degree angle and looking up at a round of red sun painted in the upper left corner. The price of the book is also the most expensive of the seven books, eight cents a piece.
The price of this book is of course very cheap now. But it wasn't cheap at the time, and the other seven books didn't cost a dollar. The price of the two "Qigong" magazines is one dime and five cents; the price of "Group B Swordsmanship Illustration" and "Sanlu Huaquan" is one dime and eight cents, while the price of "Group B Swordsmanship Illustration" is two cents and two cents, and the reason why swordsmanship is more expensive than swordsmanship is because swordsmanship has more pages than swordsmanship; "Taijiquan Common Sense" is three cents and nine cents, which is the most expensive except for "Boxing Jing", but it is still much worse than the price of "Boxing Jing".
After reading the prices of these books, Lin Xu sighed at the soaring prices now. These books are all from the 70s and 80s, and they all look old, but they are still very well preserved, and the best one is the beautifully packaged and coated "Quan Jing". He knew that it was all his father's work to preserve it so well. My father loved books and loved books, and all the books were well kept. Even useless books are reluctant to sell scrap products, and if the bookshelves can't fit in, they will be stored in separate boxes. He dared to guarantee that his house had the largest collection of books in the entire village. Even the books in the reading room of the middle school in the township where he now attends are not as many as the books in his own home.
And he also inherited this advantage of his father very well, the textbooks he used were all very well preserved, never torn or damaged pages, never scribbled on the books, and even rarely wrinkled or curled corners. From elementary school to the present, he has kept all the books, and he can take out a complete set. If it weren't for the fact that his sister, who was two years younger than him, had changed the content of the primary school textbooks when she was in elementary school, her sister would have saved money on textbooks.
It's just a pity that a few months ago, when he wasn't at home, his mother sold all the textbooks he had saved in elementary school as scrap. Although he complained about it when he found out, it was clear that he did not have the rights that his father enjoyed.
After reading all seven books, he decided to practice two sets of martial arts first, both of which were in two "Qigong" magazines. One is "Red Sand Hand" in the first issue, and the other is "Spinning Qiankun Palm" in the second issue.
He didn't have any equipment at hand, and although he had a sword at home, he couldn't use it at all. Therefore, the two "Group B Swordsmanship Illustrations" and "Group B Swordsmanship Illustrations" cannot be practiced at present. There are mainly three sets of illustrated boxing techniques in the seven books, one is "Sanlu Huaquan", one is the "Thirty-two Taizu Changquan" in the "Boxing Sutra", and one is a set of "Taijiquan Selected Practice" attached to the "Taijiquan Common Sense".
Among these three sets of boxing methods, the "Sanlu Huaquan" has more movements and is more difficult, and he thinks that he can't practice it at present. Although the "Thirty-two Style Taizu Long Fist" is relatively few and simple, he still doesn't understand it well, so he doesn't plan to practice it at present. The book "Taijiquan Common Sense" is mainly to introduce some Taijiquan knowledge and the essentials of exercise, and the attached article "Taijiquan Selection" at the end is just a few simple sets of movements. He didn't feel aggressive, so he wasn't very interested in it.
And he remembered that in a martial arts novel, he read that martial arts are based on internal strength, and practice must first start from internal strength, lay a good foundation, and start from the inside out. And this qigong, he thinks that it is the internal strength mentioned in martial arts novels, so he plans to start practicing from this internal skill.
The most important thing is that he looks at the introduction and feels that the red sand hand is very powerful, and the name is also handsome. And the rotating Qiankun palm is purely for the name, and another point is that this set of exercises is simple enough, with only four moves: climbing the peak, exploring the sea, clearing clouds, and picking stars.
