Chapter 16 Practicing Fa and Qi
After several days of continuous sensory practice, Wang Changsheng felt more physically and mentally exhausted than before, and his mind was extremely exhausted, often feeling weak in half an hour, and he needed half a day to recover his physical strength
The amount of food I eat every day is also increasing day by day, my muscles become tense and tough, my strength becomes stronger, and I gain weight.
Because the time for practicing has become shorter, the recovery time has increased, and the time for contemplating thoughts and contemplating the Tao has become more every day.
The hustle and bustle of the day seems to be isolated from the world
The family did not stop Wang Changsheng's practice, and they also tried their best to improve the food every day so that he could eat better.
Soon after fifteen, it was time to go back to Wudang Mountain, carrying a small bag containing several sets of new clothes bought for him by his mother, and followed Wang Aiguo on the train to Hubei.
A trip home for the Chinese New Year has made Wang Changsheng's appearance change quite a lot, although he is still young and childish, but his body has become stronger, with wheat-colored skin and a pair of hot and bright eyes, people feel that Wang Changsheng has become an aggressive temperament.
In the car, Wang Aiguo couldn't stop telling Wang Changsheng to live in peace and not fight, there was no way, the current appearance of this child made people a little uneasy.
When I arrived at Wudang Mountain, I didn't climb the mountain this time, but took the cable car directly up, and told Master Zhihe to Wang Aiguo and left, after all, just after the New Year, the business really began to be busy.
Master Zhihe looked at the little apprentice in front of him, and felt that the apprentice had changed a lot, especially a pair of aggressive eyes, and understood a little
"Changsheng, are you fighting?"
"Master, how do you know" Wang Changsheng is very different, has he changed so much, this can be seen
"The master has traveled more roads than you have eaten, do you think that the master has not had this experience, who has never fought in martial arts?"
Zhihe was a little disdainful, and the apprentice was a little suspicious of his vision
"Then master, this is good or bad, I think this state, the recent practice is very good, and the strength of boxing is greater than before."
After listening to this, Wang Changsheng decided to ask the master what the situation was.
"This is a stage of your martial arts practice, you only learned it before, but now you have started to use it, and the boxing techniques you usually learn are not actually the essence, so when I teach you to learn, I just let you lay the foundation and improve your physical fitness."
"I didn't expect you to be quite sensitive, and you felt it so quickly, like your classmates who are older than you, basically haven't thought about this, and every day is stuffy, teaching what to practice, wanting to cultivate this kind of real foundation for martial arts, only with real guns and live ammunition can be used, but you are still too young, and you can only do it after two years of development."
"Now go to the real sparring, there is no effect on those who are about your age, your quality can't keep up with the adults, your strength is not as big as the family, you don't break the defense, you can only be beaten, you follow me to the practice room, I will teach you the real practice"
After speaking, Zhihe took Wang Changsheng towards the practice room
When he arrived at the practice room, he asked Wang Changsheng to Zama, and then glanced at it and said
"Your foundation is still very stable, ordinary people learn to practice the Fa, one is because they have to be psychologically mature, they can control themselves not to be impulsive, and they are not on the head, and the other is because of their physical fitness, after learning the Fa, plus the daily solid and skilled moves, people can improve their kung fu by leaps and bounds, but if the physical fitness does not meet the requirements, it is just to deliver food, so generally this will not be taught to you, and you have not reached the stage of learning and practicing the Fa."
"Zama, also called the pile is the foundation of the foundation, although you are skilled but too rigid, the real horse step is alive, motionless is stable but the kung fu is fast, pay attention to steady, accurate, ruthless, live learning and use"
"Forget what you learned before, start from scratch, first of all, the horse should have a sense of undulation, that is, like riding a horse, the feet should be supported from the ground, and the thighs and body should be undulating, like waves"
After speaking, Zhihe also took a horse step, and Wang Changsheng saw his body rise and fall slightly, as if he was really riding a horse.
"Okay, you can try it too"
Zhihe stood up and asked Wang Changsheng to come to Zama again
"Squatting to the sole of the foot first, when you get up, the toes buckle the ground, you will do this very well, up to the calf bones and muscles, the knees will naturally stand up, the knees are straight, the thighs are tightened, the waist is raised, and the abdomen is tightened. It's a boost. ”
"Lay down, let go of the soles of your feet. In this way, the knees are loose, the thighs are loose, the waist sits, and the abdomen is bulging. ”
"Just between these slight ups and downs, keep changing the center of gravity of the whole body, so that the center of gravity does not fall in one place and cause the body, and you have done a good job. ”
"To practice, practice hard, remember this feeling, do the waist and horse unity, let this feeling into your life, every word and deed involuntarily by this feeling to dominate the body walking, running,"
"And this can also speed up your physical development, which is also good for you now, okay, you can feel good here"
After teaching, Zhihe went out
It turns out that what I pondered before was also very problematic, kung fu is dead and people are alive, and it seems that I used to be a little complacent.
Wang Changsheng didn't think much about it, threw away the superfluous distractions, and began to find the feeling through the continuous adjustment of the inner vision
The feet, legs, and waist are sometimes relaxed, sometimes tight, but the feeling of riding a horse can never be found, after all, although I have seen horseback riding on TV and movies, it does not mean that I have ridden a horse, and it is unrealistic to be immersive, even if I use the idea of view, it always feels wrong.
Wang Changsheng, who had been practicing all morning, went to Zhihe again to express the predicament he had encountered, and it would be better if he could pull a horse for him to ride.
Zhihe knocked on Wang Changsheng's head, "You stinky boy, such a high mountain, where to find a horse for you to ride, even if there is, there is no venue, you follow me to the top of the back mountain"
Wang Changsheng, who was covering his head, stopped playing treasure, and obediently followed Zhihe up the mountain
The mountain road behind the mountain is rugged, and it is also paved with stone slabs, but this is not difficult for Wang Changsheng, and he reached the top of the mountain with a run and a jump.
There is a small pavilion on the top of the mountain, and in the middle is a stone table, surrounded by four stone benches, and in the pavilion Shihe points to the bottom of the mountain
"Look, when you are walking a horse, you are here to look into the distance, looking at the mountains in the distance, climbing high and looking far away is the state of mind, broadening people's minds, and the pleasure of riding a horse is the same, try to do it here."
Wang Changsheng obediently stood on the edge of the pavilion and rode a horse.
"Tie up the horse, look up, slowly forget that you are Zama, let the body's instinctive subconscious control the body, and your eyes and mind are invested in this vast mountain, blend in" Zhihe stood on the side and pointed out
Wang Changsheng tied up his horse and raised his head, looking at the mountains, it was really vast and shocking, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the green in the distance, the undulating peaks, the mountains were covered with white mist, coupled with the occasional bird calls in the mountains, the roar of beasts, immersive, open-minded, the more he devoted, the more he felt his insignificance, but the more confident he was
"Kung Fu comes from life, and the perception of life, the Tao is natural, through the continuous touching of life and nature, so as to turn decay into magic, okay, let's practice like this, first tie up for an afternoon" Zhihe sat on the stone bench and said
The afternoon of Zama also made Wang Changsheng tired enough, he didn't have strict time regulations for himself to practice before, every time his body was hot and sweaty, he stopped, and Zhihe was much stricter, so that Wang Changsheng gritted his teeth and was not allowed to give up, and sometimes he used a branch to twitch if he was wrong, which made Wang Changsheng feel the psychological pressure of practicing for the first time.
Zhihe originally wanted to carry Wang Changsheng back, but Wang Changsheng refused very firmly and was very embarrassed.
When he arrived at Wuyuan Zhihe asked Wang Changsheng to go to bed to rest and rest, he stipulated that he would have to tie up the horse for more than an hour every morning and noon in the future, and it was best to reach the point where he would tie the horse regardless of eating and attending classes.
Wang Changsheng, who was lying on the bed, began to use the meditation to visualize the feeling of the afternoon, it was really wonderful and enjoyable, as if he was far away from the noise of the world, but he did not feel lonely, if he could use the meditation to be able to immerse himself in the scene at any time, it would still be very convenient in the future, but the back mountain still had to go often
In the evening, after eating and dragging the sore legs, Wang Changsheng began to study at night, and he didn't plan to go to the Taoist Academy today, and he would talk about it after his body recovered in a few days.
Next, Wang Changsheng steadily ran the practice room every day, and the horse steps became more and more proficient, and through the recovery of heat flow, he quickly over-the-top of the thigh, and went to the top of the back mountain every three days to deepen his visualization
Zhihe pointed out a few times, and seeing that Wang Changsheng was doing well, he asked him to ask if he had something, and he didn't care about it anymore, and just reminded him to master the degree of his body, and not to practice too much and cause unnecessary damage
From an hour at a time, to eating and taking classes, and even when boxing, he began to integrate into the feeling of Zama, Wang Changsheng gradually entered a state of selfless madness.
By February, Wang Changsheng could already do it, eating and even sleeping was like this, and he ran to find Zhihe
Zhihe looked at him and nodded, he saw the hard work of this little apprentice every day, because of his good foundation, he made rapid progress, and he didn't pretend to open a small stove for him.
"Master, I'm already in Zama, you can teach me some more kung fu, okay" Wang Changsheng wanted the master to take out some more dry goods, and took advantage of his young age to start being coquettish, and the child who opened his mouth had milk to eat.
Zhihe also liked this little apprentice who knew hard work more and more, so he nodded and said to Wang Changsheng
"I'll teach you luck today, when it comes to martial arts, you must say a key word, that is, 'qi', this qi, not the qi of breathing. Nor is it any of a kind in the air. ”
"When a person exercises, his whole body heats up, and when the fever is severe, he has to sweat. This heat is gas. The so-called refining and refining gas is the heat generated by human use."
"When it comes to the use of qi, our Taoists can be said to be the most profound in this way, and there are a lot of introductions and explanations about qi in those Taoist collections,"
"In layman's terms, qi is the heat flow generated by the body when you practice, and today I will teach you the use of qi."
After hearing this, Wang Changsheng was shocked, his eyes glowed and stared at Zhihe, it turned out that his own heat flow was angry, it turned out that he really had a way to practice and control, and today was the right one.
