Chapter 7: Practice

Xiaoyaozi took the teacup and took a sip, put the teacup on the table, picked up the folding fan and knocked it heavily on Lin Fan's head, and said helplessly: "You, you don't care much about those false etiquette as a teacher, so let's stop your entrance ceremony." ”

As he spoke, he handed the book in his hand to Lin Fan and continued: "This is the basic mental method of this sect, the so-called internal training of one breath, external training of muscles and bones, all martial arts moves, must rely on internal strength to exert their power. If you don't understand something, come back and ask the teacher, and don't practice blindly to prevent you from going mad. ”

Lin Fan respectfully took the cheats, took them in his hand and looked at them, he could vaguely recognize a few big characters on the cover, which said Carefree Heart, opened the cheats and glanced at the content inside, it was good to recognize one word out of ten words, and it was densely packed with ancient texts.

"Master... The disciple could not read. Lin Fan looked at Xiaoyaozi with a wince, and said.

Xiaoyaozi silently took back the mental method in Lin Fan's hand, and said helplessly: "From tomorrow onwards, you will come here every hour to learn calligraphy and literacy with your teacher." Saying that, Xiaoyaozi got up and took Lin Fan to the martial arts arena in the center of Xiaoyao Valley.

After arriving at the martial arts arena, Xiaoyaozi asked Lin Fan to meditate on the ground, and then began to slowly recite the mental mantra, and after reciting it all, he asked, "How?" ”

Lin Fan opened his eyes and said with a twist: "Master doesn't feel anything, and I don't know where the acupoints you are talking about." ”

Xiaoyaozi frowned, and quickly connected a few points on Lin Fan's body, Lin Fan first felt a pain, and then the several acupoints that were clicked began to gradually heat up.

"According to the acupuncture points pointed out for the teacher, the qi is drawn through in turn, and after completing a week, it finally converges to the sea of qi between the dantian and the Guan Yuan acupoint." Xiaoyaozi explained.

"How can Master control the qi that he inhales into his body?" Lin Fan asked puzzled.

"That's it, you make some simple breathing first, try the dantian of anger, the dantian always knows where it is."

"I know, I know, but how can I sink my breath?"

"Forcefully."

"Poof" Lin Fan took a deep breath, and then used all his strength to press the qi down, but unexpectedly let out a fart on the spot, and the ashamed Lin Fan immediately blushed.

Xiaoyao angrily slammed Lin Fan's head with a folding fan, and scolded angrily: "I told you to use your mind hard, not your body!" After taking a deep breath, guide the dantian with your mind, and do not breathe through your chest. ”

After hearing this, Lin Fan began to take deep breaths to try, and after practicing a few times, sure enough, his chest slowly stopped rising and falling, and his lower abdomen began to rise and fall with his breathing.

"How can you feel qi?"

"I sensed the master, but I just guided it to the dantian and controlled it to wander among the acupoints, but I couldn't do it at all."

"It's normal, you missed the age of practicing martial arts, and it's a beginner, practice slowly, and your perception and control will get stronger and stronger." Saying that, Xiaoyaozi sat cross-legged behind Lin Fan, with his palms on Lin Fan's back, forcing the internal force into Lin Fan's body.

Lin Fan only felt a warm current hit his whole body at first, the sweat pores of his body opened instantly, and he almost groaned comfortably, and then felt that this warm current began to swim in his body, and slowly the meridians between several acupoints in his body seemed to form a channel, and he began to clearly perceive that Lin Fan adjusted his breathing, and after a while, under the control of his mind and the guidance of internal force, the gas began to swim between the acupoints and meridians, and finally converged into the sea of qi.

"Wow, is this the internal strength!" Lin Fan was excited after completing a week, but after a little distraction, he couldn't perceive anything.

"Hug Yuan Shouyi can't be distracted!" Master scolded.

Hearing this, Lin Fan hurriedly regained his mind, as time passed, Lin Fan felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and after a while, sweat was like rain, and as he washed over and over again the acupoints and meridians, a strong tingling sensation struck, Lin Fan's consciousness began to disperse, and he exclaimed with grinning teeth: "Master, it hurts." ”

"If it hurts, it doesn't work, if it doesn't hurt, hold on, and now you have the illusion in your mind that you are in flames, how does it feel?"

"Master is getting hotter and hotter."

"How does it feel to be in the ice in your mind right now?"

"Master is a little cold."

"This is Yang Qi and Yin Qi, in the middle of the day, in different environments, with the intention to cultivate Yin and Yang, the effect and progress will be better."

Saying that, Xiaoyaozi withdrew his palms, slowly got up and said: "Let's get here today, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, from now on, every breath you take is carried out according to the way you just now, and slowly develop a habit, so that this breathing method becomes natural breathing, and even sleeping is carried out naturally." If you can't do it in the early stage, don't sleep, meditate at night, and practice internal strength can also relieve your spirit. ”

Lin Fan also stopped meditating, and after getting up, he suddenly felt refreshed, but his body was sticky and uncomfortable, and he confessed to his master and ran to take a bath.

Time flies in the twilight, and before he knew it, Lin Fan had joined Xiaoyao Valley for more than a month, and during this period, he went to report to the master every day, learned to read and read some of the master's books. Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, kitchen and tea are also slightly involved, and I practice internal skills in my spare time, but the martial arts tricks are only a superficial understanding.

As a traverser, he thinks that kung fu is boring, and he doesn't understand what is the point of practicing repeatedly after memorizing the routines. Eye skills, ear skills, soft skills and hard skills, these boring basic skills made Lin Fan even more discouraged.

Only Lin Fan was still very interested, and patiently did some exercises, but it was only to the extent that he could parkour. The three senior brothers often go down the mountain to complete the tasks of the division, or go to the rivers and lakes to do bounty tasks and the like, which are used to subsidize the division, and they often do not meet, and the economic resources in the valley depend on a few senior brothers.

Listening to them come back and tell him the story of their adventures in the rivers and lakes, Lin Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the master several times for help, wanting to go down the mountain to travel, in this quiet valley, he was tired of it. However, the master always rejected him on the grounds that he was not good at learning and had no ability to protect himself.

When Lin Fan was bored, he helped his senior sister in the valley, doing some chopping wood and carrying water, cleaning up and other chores, and became more and more familiar with his senior sister after coming and going, and the relationship between them gradually became closer.

After going to the master to report as usual today, Xiaoyaozi proposed to test Lin Fan's kung fu, Lin Fan swallowed his saliva, and followed to the martial arts arena with fear, Xiaoyaozi stood with his hands in his hands and signaled Lin Fan to launch an offensive.

Lin Fan cautiously and slowly moved closer to Xiaoyaozi, and after entering the attack range, he rushed into the fist with a horse step, smashing Xiaoyaozi's heart, Xiaoyaozi split Lin Fan's fist casually, and then looked at Lin Fan with some astonishment, Lin Fan was a little confused, he didn't know why the master looked at him like this, and he didn't think much about it, and continued to attack.

Xiaoyaozi stepped on the lost step, easily dodged Lin Fan's attack, and then saw Lin Fan turn around and swept his legs behind the empty person, Xiaoyaozi was a little surprised, and immediately figured out one of the joints, and suddenly became angry, and couldn't bear to tip his toes, and pounced towards Lin Fan, and when Lin Fan finished sweeping his legs behind him, when he just turned around, he kicked Lin Fan's chest, Lin Fan only felt a huge force in his chest, and his body instantly lost his balance and flew backwards, Then he fell to the ground and rolled a few laps before he struggled to get up.

"What about your internal strength? Why do you use brute force in every move and style, without the slightest internal force, and the mental method you learned was eaten by the dog? Xiaoyaozi glared at Lin Fan and asked.

"Huh? Isn't the internal strength of the mind used to enhance the physique and strengthen the strength? Can it still be used in fists and kicks? Lin Fan asked suspiciously.

"You're really a genius, isn't it just for the teacher to teach you internal strength to strengthen your body?" Xiaoyaozi's face was gloomy, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, then he covered his heart and took a deep breath, relieved himself and continued to ask: "What did you mean by sweeping your legs behind you with your back to the enemy just now?" ”

"The moves on the boxing spectrum are not to punch first, then slap the face, then insert the throat and then elbow, and then sweep out the chain leg behind you, and then..."

Before Lin Fan's words were finished, Xiaoyaozi instantly slapped Lin Fan at close range, and scolded angrily: "The move is dead, and the person is alive, don't you know how to be flexible?" Let you practice martial arts diligently, so that you can understand every move, know every move by heart, and use the right move at the right time. Kung fu is a killing skill, not for performance, do you let the other party watch you play acrobatics when the two sides are fighting? ”

"This..."Lin Fan saw the disappointed look on his master's face, and his heart trembled suddenly, since he had been apprenticed to his master, the master had never lost such a big temper with himself, what had he been doing for more than a month. Do you really can't think of these simple truths?

No, it's just that my mind didn't put it on this, after crossing over, since I entered the master to solve the livelihood problem, I have never had any goals and pursuits, plus Xiaoyao Valley, the master led the door to practice in the loose management mode of the individual, prompting himself to be more idle, free to do whatever he wants, as if returning to the casual campus life of the university, without a sense of crisis.

"That's it, that's the end of today, you can go back first." After Xiaoyaozi finished speaking, he turned around and left indifferently, leaving Lin Fan alone, standing alone in the martial arts arena for a long time.

It was only at this moment that Lin Fan suddenly repented, and wanted to go to the master to apologize, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to let the master dissipate his anger first, and then apologize to the master when he went to report tomorrow.

The next day, Lin Fan came to the master's room early, and saw that the master was really waiting for him, and the senior sister was helping the master make tea on the side, he hurriedly stepped forward to prepare for his laziness and admit his mistake to the master, but unexpectedly, Xiaoyaozi took the lead and said: "Fan'er, in the blink of an eye, you have been apprenticed for more than a month, it's time to go out and increase some experience, take the coil and go down the mountain today." ”
