Back at the academy, Mr. Zheng asked Hu Tong to pass Ye Xun to the study to reply, Ye Xun walked through the study house covered by the bamboo forest, only to see a jagged red plum in front of the door, blooming in the cold wind of early spring, along the bluestone path back, on the left is a red clay rammed field, two weapon racks are placed on the side of the field, on which are placed swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, iron maces, soft whips, copper hammers, sticks and other eighteen weapons, as well as stone drums, stone locks and other equipment for practicing arm strength.
On the opposite side of the weapon rack are several wooden stakes and fist targets and leg targets, and cotton cloth and mille-feuille paper are tied to the wooden stakes, so that you can practice your fists and feet. The right side is also the red clay field, the middle is set up in a circle of five groups of plum blossom piles of the general thickness of the bowl, a little far away fifty paces away there are two arrow targets, there are traces of horses stepping out of the running track around, it turns out that here is also to strengthen the body, practice riding archery, foot archery, martial arts.
There is a blue brick and green tile house behind the martial arts training field, simple and elegant, Zheng Yi's study is here, Ye Xun followed Hu Tong into the study, Mr. Zheng is standing in front of an old elm bookcase, the case is covered with a four-foot white snow flower Xuan, holding a large rabbit pen, full of thick ink, written down the dragon and tiger leap grass "martial arts" two words, and took a trumpet and milli, in the big character next to the note: Wu, the text is martial, martial arts justice is the foundation; Technique, from the line from the technique, from ten from eight, eighteen kinds of martial arts.
Then looking back, Hu Tongban had already gone, and beckoned Ye Xun to approach, "Xun'er, I called you here today to tell you about the schoolwork settings of the academy, the academy not only has to practice the four books, five classics and six arts, but also the art of war "Seven Books", and also set up the content of the five elements and eighteen works, that is to say, readers should not read dead books, do eight-strand articles, do not understand crops, do not understand world affairs, just a rotten Confucian,"
"If you want to be reasonable, self-cultivation, family harmony, and help the world to save people from the world, you must be well-read and well-versed in current affairs, have you read the "Seven Books" of the Art of War?" Zheng Yi asked.
"The student has never read the Seven Books of War, please teach Mr.," Ye Xun bowed his head and replied, "Then whose Book of War have you read?" Mr. Zheng then asked.
"The student has read the "Wu Mu Testament" by Yue Fei, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and I like the Liuhe exercises in it very much, and I have also read the method of marching and arranging the formation in it, which is very beneficial," Ye Xun replied.
"I have a treasure knife, hidden deep out of the sheath, today I hold the Southern Hui envoy, Zini is thousands of dry clouds."
"Yue Wumu is dry, loyal to the country, and selfless martyrdom is really admired by my generation! Sir, as a person, learn from Yue Wumu, help the world and save the trouble, and serve the country and the people. Ye Xun said.
"What a good one to save the world, for the country and the people, it seems that you have practiced Liuhe Boxing, right?" Zheng Yi asked.
"When the students were young, they learned Liuhequan from their father and their domestic servant, Uncle Gen, but they were not good at practicing and had not yet started the way," Ye Xun said.
"You have actually practiced Liuhe Fist, so who is your father? Can you please come and see us? Mr. Zheng's face was suddenly moved.
"My father is a horse gang merchant, and my parents have now been killed by robbers, so I can't come to see Mr.," Ye Xun said with a clenched fist at the corner of his eyes.
"Study hard, insist on practicing boxing, do not leave your hands, never leave your mouth, be sincere, and open your gold and stone; Go to the woods behind the martial arts arena, let me see how your Liuhe Fist method is going? After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he left the study with his hands behind his back.
Behind the mountain of the academy is a wild pine forest, the forest stretches to the top of the South Mountain, through the Chinese New Year's Eve rain in Bashan, Mu Jialing mighty river breeze, looking up to see the clouds and mist, dense and tall trees straight into the sky.
Walking into the forest, Mr. Zheng suddenly stretched out his arm to clamp Ye Xun under his armpit, took off into the air, and flew between the branches of the trees, just like the wild gibbon monkey in the dense forest, climbing the branches and flashing and moving, extremely fast and vigorous, Ye Xun only heard the wind whistling in his ears, and came to a forest glade in an instant, where to find the path back, only to hear the forest wind whining, and the howl of wild beasts came from the mountains in the distance.
Mr. Zheng put Ye Xun in a clearing in the forest, Ye Xun looked down on the ground in shock, only to see that in addition to the green weeds on the ground, the ground was roughly flat and covered with messy footprints, which showed that he often came over.
Mr. Zheng jumped out, quickly circled around, drew a circle of one zhang square on the ground, and used "Use the Liuhe boxing method you practiced, do your best, punch and kick, push and pull, and squeeze me, hit me or force me out of the circle, and you won, I will take you to eat the spicy incense pot of Yixiangyuan at night, otherwise you and Hu Tongban will go to the Jialing River, carry water and fill the water tank, okay?" As he spoke, he took out a black belt from his bosom and tied it to his forehead to cover his eyes.
Ye Xun is still a child's heart, thinking of a small circle, you are blindfolded again, and you can't win you, according to the Liuhe boxing routine, the mind is one, and the leap is a leap, a hungry tiger pounces on food, leaps over, and is close to the front, suddenly his eyes flashed, and Mr. Zheng disappeared, he couldn't keep his feet, and he slid out of the circle.
The Liuhe fist takes the Liuhe as the law, the six styles as the body, the five elements and ten shapes as the fist, and the action skills of the chicken, dragon, tiger, snake, swallow, harrier, horse, monkey, eagle and bear ten kinds of animals when walking, walking, flying, jumping and predation, fighting, emphasizing the unity of mind and mind, not only boxing, but also the kung fu of knives, guns and sticks.
When Ye Xun saw it, he was unwilling, a harrier turned over, retreated into the circle, turned into a goshawk fighting rabbit, flew and swooped, bent his fingers into eagle claws, grabbed Mr. Zheng's chest, and was about to grasp on Mr. Zheng's clothes.
"Boy, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, the enemy moves, I'll move first, let's learn," Mr. Zheng said playfully.
Ye Xun no longer rushed forward this time, stepping on the five elements, step by step, pressing forward, the white snake spit out the letter before the hand will be pushed to Mr. 's chest, Mr. took advantage of the momentum and flashed, his body turned to Ye Xun's side, his left shoulder was lightly topped, and Ye Xun had already flown out of the circle.
"Boy, the world's martial arts, invincible, only fast and unbreakable, the use of wonderful, in one mind, this is also the five elements of the fist of the heart and mind, the heart to the mind, the mind to the body with the Miaodi, understand?" Mr. said, Ye Xun also suddenly realized, Mr. is teaching his own kung fu, and he is clearly teaching himself the ultimate meaning of kung fu in the world.
"If you want to be fast, you have to be mind, body, and footwork in one, from today, the work of carrying water and climbing from the heart of the river is yours, after the water tank is full, go to the pile to practice the nine-palace gossip footwork, this internal strength is for you, remember it well, practice according to the law, if you want to avenge your parents, your three-legged cat's kung fu is not enough to see," After speaking, he clamped Ye Xun under his armpit, got up, and rushed back to the front yard of the academy in a puff.
From this point on, Ye Xun was in addition to his homework, and walked down the river with a bucket every day to pick up the river water, the initial downhill and uphill steps were difficult, worn out the shoulders, and the water was sprinkled in the middle of the road, and it took a long time to complete a trip, and later, walking a lot, going up and down the hill like walking on the ground, carrying water and walking faster and faster, and more and more stable.
According to the "Wu Mu Testament": practice boxing without stepping, other do not count, the method of attack, all rely on footwork movement, improvisation in the hand, mechanism in the eye, change at will, action in the unintentional, body wants to move and step for it, hand wants to move and step for it early for it; Therefore, pile gong is a good way to practice footwork, eye method, and body method.
Ye Xun at noon every day in accordance with the plum blossom pile layout to draw a circle to do the pile, first familiar with the footwork, comprehend the essentials of the pile worker, just to walk for many days, the footwork is skilled, the pile comes, soon both can be easy, so go down three months later, he can already walk the pile blindfolded, want to make the desire, do the sending and receiving at will.
In the early morning of every day, in accordance with the self-cultivation of the Taoist school of self-cultivation and the self-cultivation of the body, the self-cultivation method of strengthening the body, when the yang qi is generated, get up early to practice the kung fu of breathing and breathing, which is called spitting out the old and accepting the new, so that the germinal qi runs the body meridians and bones, and gradually tempers the strength of the five bodies and the marrows, muscles and bones meridians, so as to reach the level that the body is as light as a feather and the body is as strong as water.
In this way, more than ten days have passed, and his boxing method has touched the door of the Liuhe boxing method, and has slowly reached the level of mind, body, footwork, and moves; His Guiyuan Gong has also made a lot of progress, there is a swimming breath in the dantian, although he can't control it freely, but he feels that his body is light and agile a lot, sometimes he goes to the dense forest behind the mountain alone, and slowly tries to jump between the trees like his master, although he can't help but be scratched by the branches of his clothes, and he goes back with injuries, and is teased by the academy people, but he comes and goes a lot faster, jumps high and jumps, and his body feels light and sharp, and he has made great progress from the past.
