Cao Kaicheng is a famous gossip boxer, practicing martial arts at the age of 6, starting to stand at the age of 16, and is 76 years old this year.

It is also by virtue of this insistence that although it has never been marketed, it is still quite prestigious in the domestic traditional martial arts community.

It's a pity that traditional martial arts are in decline, especially after entering the two thousand years, the number of people who come to sign up to learn Bagua Boxing has plummeted, but fortunately, they can barely survive by relying on the surplus wealth accumulated in their early years, and the house is their own home, and the martial arts hall has been open.

And those colleagues who opened a martial arts gym with him back then either changed their careers early, or turned the martial arts gym into a sanda training class, a taekwondo gym, a gym, and in the entire Yizheng City, now only Cao's Bagua Boxing Gym is left with an authentic martial arts gym, which is also miserable and miserable.

Cao Kaicheng has long reached the age of retirement, and he rarely comes to the gym at ordinary times, and it is all managed by the son of an apprentice, and no one comes to learn anyway, and the gym is usually used as one of the few traditional martial arts enthusiasts in the city.

But in the past few days, his heart, which has long been unable to turn over a single wave, has begun to stir again.

Because at the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese athlete Zhou Shen ran a time of 4.30 seconds in the 100 meters, and some martial artists recognized that the footwork he used when running was [Xingyiquan Huai Worm Step] and [Baguazhang Mud Step], which can be said to have dropped a bomb on traditional Chinese martial artists.

As a fellow of the Baguazhang mother, the footwork between the two is no different, especially the mud step, the practice method and the strength technique are exactly the same, and as a master of Baguaquan, he has naturally received a lot of attention.

No, many people come to exchange and learn, and even some people come to learn from teachers.

So he usually goes to the park to play boxing and chess in the morning, but in the past few days, he has made an exception to come to the boxing gym on this side of the pedestrian street.

As a result, as soon as he went upstairs, he heard the conversation between Zhou Shen and the two.

At first, when he heard what Zhou Shen said, he felt quite reasonable, but when he heard Zhou Shen say "I haven't practiced pile gong", his expression was the same as Song Qingwen's, and he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Seeing that Song Qingwen was furious, Cao Kaicheng walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaowen, forget what I told you?" ”

Young man, who is practicing martial arts, which one is not a blood and qi Fanggang? It is easy to get excited and fight hard, and if you are injured, you will lose money, and if you hit it badly, you will not only lose money but also go to jail, which is not worth it.

Song Qingwen was excited: "Master he ......"

"I know!" Cao Kaicheng motioned for him to be calm, turned his head to Zhou Shen and hugged his fists and said, "Young man, have you ever heard of a sentence that if you don't practice boxing, you will wander around?" If learning boxing is compared to building a skyscraper, then pile training is the foundation of the building, which is directly related to the stability of the building. ”

"Whether it is the internal boxing represented by Wudang or the external boxing represented by Shaolin, both internal and external cultivation are required when practicing, and both are indispensable."

After a pause, Cao Kaicheng said: "From the perspective of refining the body, the regulation of Qi blood, the cultivation of essence and spirit, and the cultivation of consciousness must all be completed through pile gong. ”

In terms of training, the strength of muscles and bones, as well as the ability of internal organs to resist blows, also need to be completed through pile training. And the horse step pile is just an excellent pile method that can meet the requirements of these two! ”

Zhou Shen glanced at the old man with white hair in front of him, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this is Cao Kaicheng, the head of Cao's Bagua Boxing!" Looking at its walking footwork and breathing, the level is really average, don't say anything about the strength, even if it's a half-step bright strength like Koichi Yoshida, it's far behind! ”

He was slightly disappointed in his heart, but then he reacted, "Master Ming Jin can already be called a generation of grandmasters in this modern society, how can this kind of master be met casually?" ”

He then smiled and said: "I don't object to this outside the practice, but I don't agree with you when you say the practice, I don't think that standing on the pile can regulate the blood, cultivate the essence and spirit, and cultivate the consciousness of the mind." ”

"On the contrary, I think that standing piles is not only not good for practicing inside, but there are disadvantages, very simple truth, when people stand on piles, there must be a part of the energy scattered outside the body, to endure the soreness of skin, flesh and bones, and always pay attention to whether the posture has changed?"

"This kind of behavior similar to single-mindedness and dual-use, how can you do what you call regulating Qi blood and cultivating essence and energy?"

Song Qingwen was so angry when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "You don't agree, who do you think you are?" ”

"Xiaowen!" Cao Kaicheng scolded, "The more the truth is argued, the clearer it becomes!" Since people have put forward different points of view, you can also express your own opinions to refute them, instead of being so arrogant and unreasonable, what is this? ”

"Master, he is already making trouble ...... unreasonable"

"What do you mean by being vexatious? Chinese martial arts is a lesson summed up by countless ancestors in actual combat, everyone can express their own opinions, you can't stop others from talking. ”

"Okay, Master, I was wrong!"

Song Qingwen admitted his mistake, but obviously, he had a very unconvinced look on his face.

However, Cao Kaicheng didn't talk about him again, but turned his head and said: "Young man, there is no problem for you to question, you can also have your own understanding and opinions, but all this must be based on practice." ”

"It is not what I said that practicing the standing pile can regulate the blood, cultivate the essence and spirit, and cultivate the consciousness of the mind, but the true knowledge summarized by the predecessors of countless martial artists in practice, and we learn and inherit on the basis of these martial artists, and there are naturally traces to follow."

"And how do you prove what you're talking about?"

Zhou Shen grinned and said, "Master Cao, what you said may be reasonable, but it is not rigorous enough!" Have you ever seen Qi? Do you know what Qi looks like? Do you know how Qi operates in the meridians? You say that you are learning to inherit, do you know that the difference between one word is sometimes a thousand miles away, and you are sure that what you learn and inherit must be correct? ”

“……”

In the face of Zhou Shen's series of inquiries, Cao Kaicheng felt a feeling of "playing the piano to the cow", and he also felt that the other party was a little nonsense, and the reason didn't make sense.

At this time, the apprentices who were practicing boxing around, as well as traditional martial arts enthusiasts, all gathered around.

Zhou Shen paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I know that this master must think that I am a bar spirit, but martial arts, like traditional Chinese medicine, must be understood thoroughly, rather than according to the script, otherwise practicing is not only useless, but harmful!" ”

was told by Zhou Shen, Cao Kaicheng's old face turned red, and then he hurriedly denied it: "How can it be, the more the reason is argued, the clearer it becomes." ”

The onlookers next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "You are originally a bar, boastful, and said a bunch of big and empty words, but in fact, there is no fart." ”

Another young man said, "Yes, who wouldn't brag?" I can blow it too! Isn't it just a bar, come on, I'm also a master of raising bars. I think it's okay to follow the textbook, at least the things in the textbooks are compiled by professionals in the industry, don't we listen to the things in the textbooks, and listen to your nonsense here? ”

"yes, who do you think you are?"

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and yo-yo......"

Everyone slammed Zhou Shen together.

When Zhou Shen heard everyone's words, not only did he not get angry, but laughed and said, "Okay, everyone get out of the way, let me show you, what is the real inner boxing?" ”

When everyone heard this, the "hula" dispersed, and they all rubbed their hands, waiting for a while to hurt him.

Zhou Shen hugged his fist towards everyone and said, "Zhou Shen, the 27th generation master of the Xinyi Liuhe Fist Gate, please give me more advice!" ”

"Mind Liuhequan?"

"This guy is talking about it, I can't see that he is still a door owner, it won't be boasting, right?"

"Hahaha, who can't brag, I can blow too, I'm the 10086th generation of Bagua Boxing, what's the use? It's just self-deception. ”

"Zhou Shen, I seem to have heard this name somewhere, I am very familiar with ......"

As the so-called lights are dark, everyone discusses the legendary Olympic champion Zhou Shen who ran 100 meters in 4 seconds and 30 seconds on the Internet every day, but they didn't dare to think that Zhou Shen would come to Yizheng City, come to Cao's Boxing Gym, and raise the bar with them here.

Just when everyone was discussing, Zhou Shen waved his virtual step cloud hand, and then began to practice [Xingyi Fist].

His Xingyi Quan combines many kinds of boxing techniques, such as Xinyi Boxing, Baguazhang, Bajiquan, Seven Star Boxing and Wing Chun, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and integrating various practical strength techniques into Xingyi Boxing.

Although the action still retains the framework of Xingyi Fist and Heart Handle, the core has completely changed, and the route of punching is also unpredictable and unpredictable.

However, this is secondary, the key Zhou Shen has practiced to the transformation realm, with the "tiger and leopard thunder sound" in every move, even if the "fist intent" has been completely reined, but the fist strength of the silent thunder cannot be concealed.

A split punch was thrown, and a muffled thunder sound of "buzz" sounded in the air, and everyone who had been waiting to see the joke with a playful face changed their faces to a stunned expression.

Followed by the combination of cannon fist and tiger shape, the whole person jumped up suddenly, like a real tiger going down the mountain, the skin and the air rubbed, making a tremor sound, and the sound of the tiger roaring in everyone's ears seemed to sound, and then followed by a muffled thunder explosion sound of "boom" again.

For a while, there were waves of boxing shadows and thunder in the boxing gym.

Zhou Shen's body was sometimes as heavy and powerful as steel smashing down, sometimes as light as a leaf flying, and then as fast as a breeze, and every punch was accompanied by bursts of thunder and tiger roars.

"! What kind of sound is that? ”

"It's like muffled thunder."

"No, it's clearly the voice of a tiger."

"Oh my god, the sound seems to come from the fists and body of this week."

"What a joke, how can a man's fist make a thunderous sound...... It really had to come from his fist body, why is that? ”

The people in the gym were stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes and ears.

And Cao Kaicheng was even more stunned, "This is the legendary tiger and leopard thunder sound?" Oh my God, he actually practiced to the legendary avatar realm...... He, he, who the hell is he? ”

Cao Kaicheng's whole person fell into madness, desperately denying it in his mind, he told himself that this is impossible, in this era of withering martial arts, it is impossible for anyone to practice to this realm.

But the scene he saw in front of him reminded him that this was what really happened.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on......"

It's a pity that Cao Kaicheng doesn't look at the Internet, otherwise he will most likely be like Master Shanzheng, and come to a sentence: Could it be that the aura has been revived?

Zhou Shen finished a set of boxing techniques, and the entire boxing gym was silent.

He smiled and said: "It's no problem to practice pile skills, but you must not divide your heart into two uses, say that you can cultivate both inside and outside, outside is outside, inside is inside, don't practice together, that will be half the effort, and it may even be possible to practice problems!" ”

The crowd did not speak.

"By the way, the longevity recipe that has been circulating on the Internet recently, you can practice it if you have nothing to do, this is a real practice of qi, but don't practice when you stand on the pile, this is a big taboo! Remember, remember. ”

After a pause, Zhou Shen smiled at Cao Kaicheng and said, "Master Cao, then I'll go first, see you later!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, thinking to himself: "I originally planned to go to Hailing to have a look, but now forget it, go back to Linhuai directly, and then take the high-speed train to Jinmen as planned, all the way to the north." ”

He had just left with his front foot, and Song Qingwen suddenly reacted with his back foot, and said excitedly: "I know who he is, I know who he is......"

"Who is he?"

"That's him, you know...... It's the one that runs fast. When it came to the name on his lips, Song Qingwen couldn't remember it for a while, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Cao Kaicheng finally remembered, and said tremblingly: "Is he the Olympic champion Zhou Shen?" ”

"Yes, that's him!"
