Chapter 43: National Arts
After getting a few secret books of national arts from Tang Zichen, Li Yuntao decided to start learning from the most simple book "National Art Practice".
"National Martial Arts Practice" is not a practice method of any school or school, but Tang Zichen's practice methods that she feels have merit are all included in this book. Moreover, they are not ordinary Jianghu tricks, but real true kung fu. Of course, not all practices need to be practiced, but according to one's own foundation, choose the most suitable practice method for oneself.
If there is a grandmaster like Tang Zichen to personally guide him, he will tailor the practice method for the other party. Just like in "Dragon and Snake", Tang Zichen was interested in Wang Chao, and at first casually instructed Wang Chao to practice, but he didn't teach it casually, but handed him the foundation of the practice that best suited Wang Chao.
Of course, whether it is inside or outside, the kung fu of all schools in China generally starts from the standing pile kung fu. Although standing piles is not the whole of practicing the Fa, if it is a mainstream sect of kung fu that learns national arts, there is no mainstream sect that does not practice standing piles. Although there are differences between the piles, they are all regarded as the foundation of the foundation.
If you don't practice boxing, you will be empty when you get old.
Even if the national art has reached the peak, it is still necessary to find time to practice the standing pile every day.
In the dragon snake, Tang Zichen taught Wang Chaoshi, and at the beginning, he also taught him the three-body standing pile of Xingyi Fist.
The standing piles in "National Art Practice" not only include the three-body standing piles of Xingyi Boxing, but also all kinds of standing pile kung fu.
However, after some consideration, Li Yuntao still chose the three-body standing pile as the starting point. After all, in "Dragon and Snake", although Tang Zichen is involved in a wide range of martial arts, Xingyi Quan must be one of her true kung fu. In addition, Wang Chao, the protagonist of "Dragon and Snake", also started from the three-body stump and practiced to be invincible all over the world.
Although Li Yuntao is not sure whether the three-body pile is the most suitable for his own pile work, it should not be the worst choice to choose this.
Subsequently, Li Yuntao began to carefully read the explanation of the standing part of the book. Only by understanding the purpose of the stump can we train more purposefully.
The various piles are not just rigid stations. If it is just a simple pile, in fact, there is no special exercise effect. Instead, you need to cooperate with consciousness, movement, and breathing, and breathe with the movement, and feel the pores of the whole body open and close, and the breath agitates. Not only can you practice the next pan kung fu, but also the spine, upper body, qi and blood flow, and even internal organs can be exercised.
Of course, if you only imitate the posture and do not appreciate the subtleties, or if you only teach a posture if you are not a true kung fu, and the secret of the trick is not thoroughly understood, then there is a lot to say how much kung fu you can practice.
And Tang Zichen's book "National Martial Arts Practice" explained every posture and key to standing on the pile at the beginning.
After Li Yuntao understood, he couldn't wait to follow the explanation in the book and began to practice. The key to introducing the three-body stand pile in the book is to fantasize about holding a woman. As for the horse step is to stand out a horse or something, it is introduced in the overview of the pile, and the piles of each family are almost the same, which is not a great true biography.
On the contrary, if the posture of the three-body standing pile is not pointed out, it is like holding a woman, and I am afraid that the practitioner will not have associations. Whereas...... Tang Zichen really pointed out that if you want to comprehend the surging blood and breath traction of the three-body standing pile, the best way is to imagine - hugging a woman, like a beautiful woman's weight, hugging her arms, straddle her legs, and pressing down the weight......
This is not Tang Zichen's slander, the true biography in the national art is like this, without a trace of hypocrisy. If it is hypocritical and embellished, it may write a bunch of moral articles, what martial virtues, benevolence and righteousness, and write a bunch of them, which will only make people unable to pass on the truth.
And the true biography is to tell oneself, so there is no need to be so hypocritical.
Some masters are even afraid that their disciples will not be able to get started, so they find prostitutes to sit on their disciples' laps and let them experience it.
"Ma Dan! Guoshu is still so sassy, and standing on the pile is like watching a movie!" Although Li Yuntao complained, he stood in a posture similar to Wang Chao's three-body standing pile.
Tang Zichen taught Wang Chaoshi when he told him that Ma Bu was going to stand up for a horse.
However, in the book given to Li Yuntao now, it is described that Ma Bu stands on the pile as if he is holding a beautiful woman in his arms. Therefore, just standing on the pile, it is not only necessary to be able to endure hardships and persevere, but also to have some know-how, imagination and understanding.
The results were immediate!
I immediately felt it, my body was surging with qi and blood, and the heat was unbearable. Even more physically demanding than strenuous exercise. Of course, this is also because Li Yuntao has not yet gotten used to standing on the pile, so he has come into contact with this kind of advanced know-how. In other words, after standing for a few months, the master is giving a point or two, and it may not feel so difficult.
Of course, being able to enter the state so quickly is also because Li Yuntao's current physique is already different from ordinary people.
In other words, a few months ago, Li Yuntao might only feel that this standing pile was a little difficult, but he would definitely not feel hot and dry.
However, Li Yuntao obtained "Lingao Step" from Huang Rong before. The introduction of this kind of footwork is actually similar to the basic skills in the national arts. It's just that "Lingao Step" is more complicated, not only standing, but also running and jumping. The posture is not difficult, but also needs to silently visualize the vibration of the acupuncture points.
Every walking, running, and jumping has a combination of breathing, mental method, and movement. Although, Li Yuntao has practiced "Lingao Step" for several months, but he has not practiced anything like a sense of qi or true qi. However, on the contrary, there is a little bit of foundation for the body's qi and blood traction and the like.
Guoshu Kung Fu is to exercise one's own qi and blood, muscles and bones, skin membrane, internal organs and the like. It doesn't involve deeper internal forces, aura, and the like. But in fact, these practices are not obtained out of thin air, and the inspiration is modified by previous inheritance, and there is more or less the shadow of ancient times. In ancient times, the practice method was from simple qi training (cultivation of truth), gradually degraded to internal strength, and then after internal strength could not be practiced, some sects that inherited internal strength had no choice but to integrate the previous true transmission into the kung fu of the era when they could not practice internal strength. Therefore, although Guoshu cannot practice internal strength, it is purely to exercise itself, and cannot ingest any mysterious energy that is not in the body from the outside world. However, in the ancient internal exercises, it actually also involved qi and blood traction. It's just that in the era of internal forces, these are just the heat generated by their own movement and heat, and they are not taken seriously. Only in an environment where internal strength has been lost can there be some geniuses who have redefined the practice of martial arts and transformed a new system.
Li Yuntao felt that his breathing was a little faster, and after standing for a few minutes, he felt hot all over his body, which was more tiring than running laps on the playground, but although he felt a little tired, he was like an addiction, and continued to stand according to the action of standing on the pile for more than 20 minutes, sweating profusely.
After practicing a set of standing piles, Li Yuntao felt tired at first, but after standing for a while, he felt that he was not as tired as he imagined, but began to relax more and more, and his spirit was even more energetic.
Originally, Li Yuntao's talent was not very high, but who called Li Yuntao lucky, not long ago, he ate the medicine made of Qu Bodhi snake gall and drank the ancient tomb jade honey.
These things, compared to the world of the trough of spiritual energy, are equivalent to heavenly treasures. Li Yuntao has eaten these natural treasures, in fact, it has had a certain effect of washing the muscles and cutting the marrow.
Moreover, these natural treasures can also make up for Li Yuntao's early lack of effort, and the loss of nutrients, qi and blood, and some injuries will also quietly recover for him. So that he can practice more and more strongly, not like some people who can't practice the way, but get injured.
Of course, by reading Tang Zichen's book, Li Yuntao knew that he had sweated a lot before, indicating that he had not yet practiced the kung fu of standing on the pile.
The qi and blood all over the body are hot, indicating that the qi and blood are activated, but a lot of sweat is flowing out, because he did not lock the pores, and those sweats came out of the pores, causing the body to lose a lot of energy and qi. If you practice kung fu deeply, you can lock the pores of the skin, even if you exercise vigorously, you can control it without sweating.
At the same time, the muscles, qi, blood, muscles and bones of the whole body can be consciously controlled to do actions that ordinary people can't do.
After locking the pores, you can talk about controlling the body. After that, he began to gradually pursue the so-called bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy.
After that, people who pursue killing may overdraw their own qi and blood and make bigger killing moves, but this will definitely not be conducive to self-cultivation, but will damage their own life and health. However, when practicing Guoshu Kung Fu to the depths, it is easier to control the body and maintain it in turn, so that the body can maintain its health. Normally, if there is no accident with kung fu like Tang Zichen, it is no problem to live to be more than 100 years old just by virtue of his kung fu.
Li Yuntao has also recently begun to pay attention to health preservation, after all, now that the social economy is developed, the post-00s have begun to take care of themselves. Therefore, Li Yuntao naturally hopes that he can live a better and healthier life. The martial arts of the previous martial arts world have been given up by him, but now the national arts still make him feel that he can practice a little way.
