Chapter 2: Greed, Choice, Trapping.

Stand like a pine, sit like a clock.

After practicing martial arts, Chen Kang's behavior began to become regular.

Chen Kang's back was originally a little hunched, but after a few days of training and body shaping, his back was actually straight.

Chen Kang's mental state has also changed a lot compared with before. And these changes are gradually completed in a subtle way. Even if Chen Kang didn't notice it.

In the yard.

Chen Kang is practicing boxing.

The other Jingwu Sect disciples stood by and watched. They were talking, pointing fingers at Chen Kang.

But this did not have the slightest effect on Chen Kang.

Because Chen Kang is already addicted to training.

Chen Kang punched and kicked, playing very slowly, and his movements were not skillful. After every punch, Chen Kang had to stop and ponder and experience the feeling of punching just now.

The essence of martial arts, in addition to breathing, thoughts, moves, and force skills are also very important.

Only by using the strength of the whole body can it be regarded as a real exercise.

In traditional martial arts, the emphasis is on the unity of waist and horse, which is the truth.

The strength of the lower back drives the arm to move, which can maximize the strength of the arm.

"Haha, is Chen Kang practicing martial arts? His punches and kicks didn't have any power. ”

"Chen Kang is old."

"It's too late for him to practice martial arts at his age."

"My dad wasn't even thirty-seven years old. At such an age, he still has to practice martial arts, I really don't know what Chen Kang thinks. ”

"If you want me to say, it's good for Chen Kang to be a cook. The dishes made by Chen Kang taste very good. ”

Just when they were talking.

Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun walked over.

"Master."

"Uncle Nong."

The disciples saluted the two.

Only Chen Kang is still practicing boxing.

Nong Jinsun glanced at Chen Kang, shook his head and said, "Yuan Jia, Chen Kang's practice moves, it doesn't seem to be Huo Jiaquan, right?" His fists were soft, slow, and powerless. Obviously, he is not a martial arts material. ”

Huo Yuanjia's eyes flashed, and he said, "Jinsun, you are wrong. Chen Kang was practicing martial arts with his heart, and he was stronger than other disciples. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

The other disciples practiced martial arts with their fists and feet, without intentions, unable to concentrate, and unable to indulge.

Chen Kang's state of concentration has only been experienced once in his life.

It's a pity that Chen Kang is too old.

If Chen Kang was ten years younger, Huo Yuanjia would accept him as a personal disciple.

Chen Kang was sweating all over, he didn't feel tired, but he was breathing heavily, and his spirit was dripping and smooth.

Come back to your senses.

Chen Kang noticed that Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun were next to him, and hurriedly said, "Master Huo, Boss Nong." ”

Nong Jinsun said: "Chen Kang, it's not too early. You go and get lunch ready. ”

Huo Yuanjia said: "Chen Kang, I want to eat lighter recently. ”

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Then I'll cook Cantonese food for Master Huo." ”

Cantonese cuisine is mainly light.

Chen Kang turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Megumi came over to help.

There are so many people in the Jingwu Sect, and Chen Kang is mainly responsible for Huo Yuanjia's diet.

Other people's meals are still in charge of Uncle Gen.

Uncle Gen has learned a lot of recipes from Chen Kang these days, and his skills have increased greatly.

……

Nong Jinsun handed a telegram to Huo Yuanjia and said, "Chen Zhen has sent a letter. ”

Huo Yuanjia took the telegram: "Is Chen Zhen okay in Japan?" ”

Two years ago, Huo Yuanjia sent Chen Zhen to Japan to study. I hope that Chen Zhen will learn advanced science and technology and come back to serve the motherland in the future.

Huo Yuanjia knew very well in his heart that martial arts could only strengthen the body, but he couldn't resist foreign guns and cannons, and he couldn't save the country.

To save the country, we must rely on advanced science and technology.

Nong Jinsun said: "Chen Zhen studied very hard in Japan. In one more year, he will be able to graduate. Later, I will give Chen Zhenhui another 200 oceans. ”

Huo Yuanjia nodded.

He must provide enough living expenses so that Chen Zhen can study in Japan with peace of mind. Work-study seems exciting, but it is actually very delaying learning. If there is no way, who would waste time doing work-study?

……

Evening.

Had dinner.

Chen Kang walked out of Jingwumen and jogged along the Huangpu River.

Running is a great exercise in one's endurance.

At the beginning, the rhythm of Chen Kang's breathing and footsteps was always out of sync, and he couldn't achieve unity.

With continuous adjustment, Chen Kang slowly found some feeling.

When Chen Kang is running, he breathes long breathes and tries to breathe as much air as possible to achieve the purpose of enhancing lung capacity.

Running and practicing martial arts are both athletic training, so you need to focus and not think cranky.

What is the intention of guarding the dantian, what is the dantian, Chen Kang does not understand.

What is bright and dark, what is qi and self-cultivation, Chen Kang doesn't understand.

Practicing martial arts, Chen Kang only knew that it was to enhance physical fitness.

Chen Kang trains according to his own logic and feelings.

Since it is determined that martial arts is a skill and a technique, then there are not so many bells and whistles and chatter.

As long as you find the right training method, you can go from unfamiliar to proficient.

Skill comes from practice.

Art can be spiritual.

The technique is close to the Tao.

"Perception."

"I want to focus on the changes in my body and feel the physiological changes that happen in my body during training."

"I'm older, I'm not a young lad anymore. The physical strength and resilience are definitely not as good as before. Train for martial arts and running, and never get hurt. ”

"I want to gradually control every bone in my body, every muscle, and even the internal organs in my body. That's how you can really get the best out of your workout. ”

It seems that the human mind can control the body, but in fact, the parts that can be controlled are very limited.

If you can control your body in a subtle way, then you can do something "amazing". Those street jugglers are just pediatrics.

Run 10 kilometers and come back.

Chen Kang's clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he had gotten up from the water.

However, Chen Kang's breathing was quite steady.

Chen Kang seems to be able to feel the beating of his heart, which transports blood to various parts of his body and nourishes various body tissues.

Of course, this is an illusion.

If Chen Kang could control the beating of his heart and the flow of blood, then he would be a martial arts master.

Took a shower.

Chen Kang lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

Uncle Gen is also ready to sleep.

Bang bang bang.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Uncle Gen asked, "Who?" ”

"Uncle Gen, it's me, Ah Xiang."

Uncle Gen opened the door.

Ah Xiang stood at the door with a suitcase.

"Ah Xiang, why are you not sleeping so late?" Uncle Gen asked.

Ah Xiang walked into the house and said with a smile: "Uncle Gen, I know you have been waiting for money recently. No, I'm sending you money. ”

Ah Xiang opened the box.

Inside is 1000 oceans.

Uncle Gen's pupils shrank, and his breath became short: "Ah Xiang, where did the money come from?" How can you possibly have so much money? ”

Uncle Gen looked shocked, and Ah Xiang was very satisfied.

At the beginning, when he saw so many oceans, Ah Xiang's performance was even more unbearable than Uncle Gen.

Ah Xiang said: "Uncle Gen, don't worry where the money comes from. I know that your son owes a lot of gambling debts in his hometown and has been involved in a life lawsuit. With this thousand oceans, the problems of your family can be solved. ”

Uncle Gen came back to his senses, with greed in his eyes, and sneered: "A thousand oceans is a huge amount of money. Ah Xiang, you won't send me money for no reason, will you? What do you want me to do? ”

Ah Xiang said: "A thousand oceans, of course, it is impossible to give it to you for nothing. As long as you quietly put something in Huo Yuanjia's meals every day. ”

Uncle Gen stared at Ah Xiang and said, "Ah Xiang, are you helping the Japanese?" Do you want me to poison Huo Ye? ”

Ah Xiang said: "Uncle Gen, the Jingwu Sect can't fight the Japanese. No matter how high Huo Yuanjia's martial arts are, how many people can he beat? Even if the people of Jingwumen have three heads and six arms, they can't stop the guns and bullets of the Japanese. There is nothing wrong with doing things for the Japanese. If you want to blame, blame Huo Yuanjia for not knowing current affairs. ”

Ah Xiang came to Jingwumen just to learn boxing. He has no loyalty to the Jingwu Sect.

Ah Xiang admired Huo Yuanjia very much.

However, the Japanese gave too much this time, and Ah Xiang couldn't refuse. The Japanese gave 3,000 oceans, Ah Xiang kept 2,000 oceans for himself, and gave Uncle Gen 1,000 oceans.

Rely on the coolies and go to the dock to carry the bag?

Don't want to earn 2,000 oceans in your life.

Uncle Gen's expression changed, and his eyes struggled.

Ah Xiang said bewildermently: "Uncle Gen, this is a thousand oceans. You have to think about it. If you don't do it, I'll go to someone else. ”

Uncle Gen said: "Huo Ye's food is now in charge of Chen Kang. I don't necessarily find a chance to get drugged. ”

Ah Xiang said: "That's better. In the future, even if Huo Yuanjia's poisoning broke out, we can also identify Chen Kang as doing it. Chen Kang is the cook, and Huo Yuanjia's food is in charge of him, so he can't get rid of suspicion. ”

Uncle Gen compromised, nodded and said, "Okay." I'll figure it out. ”

Ah Xiang pressed his palm on the box and said, "Uncle Gen, I gave you the money, you don't have any other thoughts." You know the methods of the Japanese, and no one dares to embezzle the money of the Japanese. ”

As long as Uncle Gen collects the ocean, Ah Xiang is not afraid of him turning against the water.

When Ah Xiang left, he gave Uncle Gen a packet of poison and said, "This is a chronic poison. As long as you put a little bit in Huo Yuanjia's meals every day, no one will notice. ”

……

Uncle Gen has a ghost in his heart, and when he was working in the kitchen in the last few days, he was always distracted. He chopped vegetables several times and almost cut his hands.

When Chen Kang cooks, his demeanor is focused. After finishing his work, he began to practice martial arts.

Chen Kang's mind was all focused on training, and he didn't notice the change in Uncle Gen.
