Chapter 31: First Acquaintance with Hexi

That is, from this day on, Qin Tian and Yan Qiu spent most of their time every day in the practice of fixed-step double pushers.

In the first few days, neither of them found a feeling, but as the practice deepened, they slowly found some ways.

The strength mentioned in listening to the strength does not actually refer to the internal strength but to the strength, that is, the strength, which is the strength we commonly say. And the transmission of this power requires a certain way, and people most often use their hands and feet.

Take the hand as an example, if you want to transmit power through the hand, for example, if you want to hit the simplest straight punch, then you must first charge strength, that is, withdraw the fist under the waist ribs, and when punching, your shoulder should rotate along the direction of the punch, and the elbow should be gradually straightened by bending, and the wrist should also be flipped, and finally the strength of the body can be transmitted from the shoulder to the elbow, and then from the elbow to the wrist, and then from the wrist to the fist, so that a continuous and complex transmission process can complete a simple straight punch attack.

When something goes wrong in any part of the process, it can affect the completion of this simple straight punch. It is through the feeling of contact points with the opponent that Tingjin perceives these complex movements of the opponent, so as to judge the rigidity and softness of the opponent's attack points, moves and strength.

In the process of practicing listening to the strength, the contact point is the key point, Qin Tian and Yan Qiu quickly discovered this key point, and at the same time, they also had a deep understanding of why the proverb says that Tai Chi pushers cannot be lost.

Of course, for Qin Tian and Yan Qiu, the two beginner rookies, to perceive each other's strength from the point of contact, can only be experienced through the collision of the most primitive skeletal muscles.

But something is better than nothing, the junior is the beginner, who hasn't slowly risen from the junior to the advanced? Isn't there a saying: "All the masters of the cow fork in the world start from the rookie?"

The so-called "diligence can make up for clumsiness" and "practice makes perfect", before finding a better way, Qin Tian and Yan Qiu can only improve themselves through continuous push hand training. After nearly a month of two-person training, as well as the master's feeding from time to time, Qin Tian and Yan Qiu finally stepped steadily into the primary door of Tingjin and entered the bone level, the so-called bone sense is the information that can perceive the opponent's strength through the changes in bones and muscles.

Although they are only new to the door of Tingjin, and they are far from the realm of the next layer of skin, let alone the profound realm, this progress still makes them feel excited, because Tingjin has brought them a different perspective on martial arts, and they have a deeper understanding of the essence of martial arts.

Especially Qin Tian, he felt more deeply about the changes brought to him by Tingjin, since Tingjin was introduced, he found that his control of strength has become more proficient and subtle, and it also has the same effect on internal strength, which makes it extremely significant in the control of internal strength, and he finally knows the true intention of Master Niu Kui, I am afraid that there are some secret methods in Tingjin that are specially used for internal strength control. I am afraid that I will inevitably meet some masters of Tai Chi in the newcomer competition, and the master is taking the opportunity to teach martial arts to remind himself to be careful.

The obvious progress has stimulated Qin Tian and Yan Qiu's enthusiasm for the practice of pushing hands, and now they not only carry out fixed-step double pushers, but also start the practice of double-pushers in live steps.

At the same time, Qin Tian will also consciously carry out some internal listening training in the rest of the time, through the practice of the Xingyi Twelve-Form Fist Technique, feel the transmission and change of strength from the moves, carefully experience the relationship between the transmission change and the body, and adjust the lack and hindrance in it, so as to achieve smooth and smooth access, and integrate inside and outside.

Just when Qin Tian and Yan Qiu thought that such a peaceful and fulfilling day would continue forever, a commotion broke the rare calm of the martial arts hall.

A hot news spread like a whirlwind to every corner of the martial arts hall in a short period of time, even Qin Tian and Yan Qiu, who were in a state of retreat, were disrupted by this sudden news and their cultivation plans were disrupted by this sudden news, and this news still spread to Qin Tian and Yan Qiu through the mouth of Master Niu Kui, which made Qin Tian extremely surprised.

In fact, this news is very simple, in order to warm up the players who will participate in next year's "Martial Arts Rookie Competition" in advance, there are three internal boxing martial arts gyms will form a team to visit, visit the internal selection of the Guo Xingyi Martial Arts Gym, and conduct martial arts exchanges with the participating players. Therefore, this year's internal selection competition will start early next week, so that the players can be decided early and then "exchange and compete" with the other three martial arts gyms.

Of course, this so-called "exchange and exchange" is just a more civilized statement, according to Niu Kui's black words, "Now some people have formed a team to kick the gym, wanting to hit our morale before the game, so they must send a weighty team, as the head snake, if we can't suppress these strong dragons, it will have a great impact on the reputation of our martial arts hall, and the situation of our martial arts hall in next year's competition will only become more and more difficult." So the Curator Boss gave a death order and asked us to deal with it with all our might. Qin Tian, you, Zhou Tao, and Zhong Rui are the three strongest among the newcomers, and you must also come forward to support the other students in the martial arts hall, and you must suppress the corners of our formation, and you must not let the other party's conspiracy succeed. Be sure to let them know how many eyes Lord Ma has. ”

As for the fat man Yan Qiu, he was also reminded by his master Niu Kui that he must win a place in the internal selection competition, otherwise don't call him master in the future, so as not to lose the face of the master.

The fat man stared at Qin Tian with a depressed expression, as if to say, "Why is it always me who is unlucky?", Qin Tian could only shrug his shoulders and look helpless.

Before the start of the internal selection competition, the personnel of the three martial arts halls all arrived one after another.

The first to come is the personnel of Sun's Xingyi Martial Arts Museum, Sun's Xingyi Boxing is founded by Sun Lutang, the grandmaster of the Republic of China boxing, Sun Lao is proficient in Xingyi, Tai Chi, Bagua three major internal boxing, and the essence of these three internal boxing together to bring forth the new, respectively, founded Sun's Xingyi Boxing, Sun's Taijiquan, Sun's Bagua Boxing, three unique schools, it can be said that it is a collection of the essence of the three major internal boxing, and has become a legendary figure in the Republic of China, enjoying the reputation of "Tiger Head Shaobao, the first hand in the world".

Now there are still a lot of martial arts instruction photos taken by him when he was hired as the head of the Wudang Gate of the Central Guoshu Museum at that time, in order to teach his apprentices, which are important materials for later generations to learn Sun's various boxing techniques.

Sun's martial arts hall this time a total of ten contestants and two leading masters, because of the historical relationship between the Sun family and the Guo family, Guo Yunshen is Sun Lutang's master, so the relationship between the two martial arts halls is relatively close, and because everyone is in Hebei, the earliest is the Sun martial arts hall.

Among the players who came this time, led by Sun Yizhi, Sun Yizhi is said to be a descendant of the Sun family, and his talent is extremely high, so he has been vigorously cultivated in the museum, and now he is only twenty-five years old, but his kung fu is extremely profound, and he has entered the level of internal strength.

On the second day of the arrival of the personnel of the Sun's Xingyi Martial Arts Pavilion, the people of the Cheng's Bagua Martial Arts Hall also arrived, also led by two masters, and composed of ten players who participated in next year's rookie competition.

Cheng's Baguazhang was founded by Cheng Tinghua, a famous boxing master of the Republic of China, because in the early years, Sun Lutang was recommended by Guo Yunshen to learn from Cheng Tinghua, and Guo's, Sun's, and Cheng's have a certain historical origin, so there are relatively many exchanges between the three factions.

Among the Cheng players this time, Cheng Ye is also led by Cheng Ye after Cheng Men, as long as the talent and qualifications are not bad after the famous family, basically the strength will not be weak, and Cheng Ye can be sure that he also has the strength of the internal strength level.

The last group to arrive was the people from the Heshi Taiji Martial Arts Hall, and the number was also twelve, two masters, and ten players. However, there is a difference that has caused a sensation in the martial arts hall, it turns out that the leading player of the He's Taiji Martial Arts Hall this time is actually a woman, and it is also a beauty, for the martial arts students who have very few women, it is naturally a very sensational thing to see such a beauty.

For this reason, the dead fat man also deliberately dragged Qin Tian to the dormitory area of the Heshi Taiji Martial Arts Hall to "feast his eyes".

Originally, Qin Tian was reluctant to join in this kind of excitement, but on the one hand, he couldn't resist the harassment of the fat man, and on the other hand, he also wanted to explore the reality of other martial arts halls by the way, so he half-pushed and half-followed.

The dormitory of the He's Taiji Martial Arts Hall was arranged in the dormitory area close to the playground, and when Qin Tian and the fat man arrived there, the students who had already heard the news were surrounded by water, and many people were bustling around there, inquiring about the news from ear to ear, facing this situation, Qin Tian and the fat man looked at each other.

"So many people are gathered here, this grandma is still watching a ball! It's scared people away, it's not that you haven't seen a woman, as for it?" the fat man complained helplessly.

"Come on, let's not just run around and see, in this kind of place, women who look like sows are robbed, let alone a beautiful woman! Okay, let's go back, save yourself from being watched, but be watched." Qin Tian joked with a smile.

"Then let's forget it. Anyway, aren't you afraid you won't be able to see it in the internal selection competition tomorrow?"

After a period of intense preparation, the long-awaited Kwok's internal selection competition officially began.

The format is the most ordinary round-robin tournament, subduing the opponent or letting the opponent admit defeat is a victory, one point is earned for a win, no points are awarded for a loss, and the seven players with the highest points will qualify for next year's rookie competition.

The advantage of this rule is that it can ensure the selection of high-level players to the greatest extent, but the disadvantage is that it takes a long time, which is a severe test of the strength and endurance of the players.

However, there is a good news that makes the students of the martial arts hall more excited, that is, the students in the women's hall area will also come to visit the internal selection competition this time, which is a very exciting thing for the martial arts hall that has always been prosperous and weak.

Because the competition in the martial arts rookie competition is very fierce and can even be said to be very cruel, there are not many people who really have the courage to sign up for the competition, only some students who are more confident in their own strength and eager to make a splash in the rookie competition will make up their minds to sign up for the competition. Therefore, the total number of applicants for this Guo's Xingyi Martial Arts Gym internal selection competition is only eighteen, which is one of the reasons why the martial arts gym finally chose to use a round-robin competition, because if there are too many applicants, the more competitions each person needs to participate in, and the longer the event lasts. For example, if there are 100 people participating in the competition, then each person must compete against 99 other people except himself, that is, he has to participate in 99 races, which is unimaginable.

There are now 18 people who have signed up for the competition, so everyone must participate in 17 races, and the theoretical maximum score of the competition is 17 points. Among these people who signed up, including Li Hu, Chang Xiong, Li Zheng, Luo Hong, Wu Yan, as for the Fuxing Society, only the fat man Yan Qiu signed up, and the other dozen or so old students from the previous session, these people are basically senior members of various community organizations, and without exception they all have the strength of the qi level.

The competition is held on the base platform in the playground, and three groups of people compete at the same time each time, and it is planned to be held for three days, presided over by Director Guo himself, and the masters of each grade are the referees.

The personnel of the martial arts hall who came to visit all accompanied Director Guo to sit on the rostrum, and Qin Tian, Zhou Tao, and Zhong Rui were also allowed to sit on the rostrum together because they had obtained the quota in advance. At this time, Qin Tian finally saw the leading beauty of the contestants in the Heshi Taiji Martial Arts Hall for the first time, her name was Hexi, a very special name.

He Xi is very tall, more than one meter seven tall, wearing a set of pale cyan Han-style slim martial arts robes, which sets off her tall figure even more slender and slender, but what attracts Qin Tian's attention the most is not her fresh and beautiful appearance, but her unique temperament that is different from others.

She had long, black and silky hair, but she just tied a simple ponytail with a thin red rope that seemed to be haphazard, so that those soft hair fell naturally to her waist.

A pair of slender willow eyebrows should show the woman's weakness and grace, but the slightly upturned eyebrows make her have a trace of heroic spirit that is rare for women.

The black pearl-like crystal eyes should be as watery and seductive as a deep pool, but her eyes reveal a kind of indifference and tranquility, like a peaceful lake in a summer night, although there is no wind, it can always bring people a kind of coolness that penetrates into the heart.

She pursed her lips slightly and stood by the rostrum so indifferently, quietly looking at the noisy arena, making Qin Tian feel as if the noisy arena was so unreal, so far away. This difference between movement and stillness makes his eyes firmly attracted.

"This is a girl who can calm people's hearts. Qin Tian thought to himself, "This feeling is as if she is not in the same time and space as the outside world, maybe her heart really has no intersection with this time and space!"

The feeling that He Xi gave to Qin Tian, or the temperament that He Xi had never encountered before. She is not as charming and moving as Chu Yan, and she is not as spicy and fierce as Liu Yan, she is the kind of quiet and somewhat lonely temperament, and there is a feeling like a lotus that "comes out of the mud but is not stained, and the green lotus is not demonic, and can only be watched from a distance and cannot be blasphemed".

She just watched the noisy arena quietly, and Qin Tian also stared at her quietly. After a while, she seemed to be aware of something, only to see her willow eyebrows frowning slightly and turning her head to inspect, so she naturally met Qin Tian's eyes.

Qin Tian couldn't see the due emotion of shame or anger in her eyes, only a trace of doubt flashed away, and then returned to calm. Perhaps she was used to being stared at, so she turned and walked slowly back to her seat.

Qin Tian couldn't keep staring at others, he could only watch this unique woman leave, and then followed him back to his seat at the back of the side and sat down, secretly observing her from time to time.
