Chapter 33: Practicing Literature and Martial Arts
Hearing this, Da Kui couldn't help but ask: "Master has learned martial arts well, and has he gone back to take revenge?" Da Kui couldn't help asking, "Master, what do you mean?"
The Spiritual Master said, "You will understand in the future," and then he said: "You are dull but you are a genius, and a simple person must have steadfastness and perseverance, and if you can transcend the fetters of the world, you will be successful." Da Kui couldn't help asking, "More powerful than Master?"
With a 'snap', the Master of Wisdom threw an object and smashed it on Da Kui's head, but it was a copy of the Tao Te Ching.
The Master of Wisdom shouted, "Let's learn to read and write first, and then we should fight if you don't have respect for your eyes." Da Kui didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered his head and brows to listen to the teachings...
From the second day, Da Kui got up early to move his muscles and bones, and then played a few long punches, but he was also refreshed. Da Kui had always longed for a peaceful and comfortable life in the army, and now he had an indescribable joy when his wish came true. Hongyun and Huiqing are very familiar with each other, and it is also worry-free for Huiqing to take care of Da Kui every day. Occasionally, when he had spare time, Da Kui would go to the waterfall, but he never saw the monk without precepts. According to the master's teachings, Da Kui helped the Taoist temple to do some sundries every day, and then followed the senior brother to read and write. Da Kui also felt at ease.
On this day, the Master of Lingzhi summoned Da Kui and said, "Now that your muscles and veins have been opened, you can practice some martial arts with me." Da Kui Zhiwu said: "Master, I'm stupid." You can't learn it. The Master of Lingzhi smiled and said, "You have gone through five years of hard training, and although you are not good at martial arts, you have accumulated the internal strength behind you, but now you just don't know how to apply it. ”
Da Kui couldn't help but wonder, "I don't think I have internal strength!" The Lingzhi Master smiled and said, "You have been spitting according to the master's method, running with hundreds of pounds, this is practicing internal strength again, hehehe!" After that, the Lingzhi Master explained the body shape and pace in the martial arts one by one. Then there is the practical application of hand shape, wrist, elbow, shoulder, head, back, hip, knee, and foot.
When the Venerable Master explained, his words were simple and easy to understand, and Da Kui would be able to listen to them as soon as he heard them. Since then, Da Kui has known that there are so many ways in martial arts. The Venerable Master simply said, "Everywhere in the human body is a skill." ”
The Master of Wisdom did not teach the routines, but only told Da Kui to memorize all the forms and steps of the body. After that, it was practiced one by one, without skill or style. The second is to meditate constantly, so that Da Kui can constantly ponder in his mind how to integrate all that he has learned.
After three months of such diligent meditation, the Master Lingzhi instructed Lingxuzi to practice the feeding moves with Da Kui, and Da Kui practiced all the moves in his heart. There is also a clear eye, and in January, Da Kui has slowly changed from rusty to sophisticated. The Venerable Master of Wisdom couldn't help but be very relieved to see Da Kui's rapid progress.
In the blink of an eye, in the autumn, the Venerable Master said to Da Kui, "Your diligent practice of meditation is just a form, and I will pass on your method of exerting strength." If you can also incorporate the power method into the moves, you will be considered to have achieved something. Da Kui couldn't help but say, "I have a lot of strength." The Master laughed and said, "Look at the grass on the wall, and when the wind comes, the wind will come back to it." Your strength is greater than the wind. ”
Da Kui thought for a moment and said nothing, and the Master Lingzhi took Da Kui out of the mountain gate and walked down the mountain. He came to a small tree and asked, "Can you knock this little tree down?" Da Kui said, "I'll try." With that, he stepped forward and swung his fist and smashed it. Who knew that the small tree was extremely tough, and when it was stressed, it bent to the side, and Da Kui withdrew the small tree to restore its original state.
The Master of Wisdom smiled and said, "Look carefully. With that, he stepped forward and pressed one palm against the trunk of the tree, and Da Kui watched with wide eyes. I didn't see how the master exerted his strength, but there was a 'click' in his ears, and the little tree actually stopped and broke. Da Kui couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what was going on?
The Master of Wisdom withdrew his hand and turned around and said, "This is the internal strength of Taoism." After a pause, he said, "Gather strength and force in an instant." Da Kui hurriedly asked, "How can I do this?" The Master of Lingzhi smiled without saying a word, and continued to walk down the mountain with Da Kui. When he came to a clearing, the Lingzhi Master said, "I'm going to practice a set of boxing here, you need to watch carefully." After that, the Venerable Master slowly played a set of Tai Chi. Da Kui stared closely, for fear of missing every move.
After a set of punches, the Master took Da Kui back to the mountain. On the way, the Lingzhi Master didn't say anything, and Da Kui didn't ask. Just reminiscing all the way to the mountains. The Spiritual Master said, "I'm going back, you don't have to follow." Then he drifted away. Da Kui lowered his head and walked to the mountain gate to sit cross-legged under an ancient pine, close his eyes and meditate. Time passed little by little, and there was no movement until sunset. At this time, Huiqing came back with Hongyun, and when he saw Da Kui sitting under the tree, he laughed and said, "Uncle Fool is stupid again, it's time to go to fasting at this hour." Da Kui didn't react, Huiqing saw that Da Kui didn't pay attention, and took Hongyun to the backyard.
In the dead of night, Da Kui was still meditating. The wind picked up, blowing down some pine needles and falling into Da Kui's neck. Da Kui didn't notice it until the next morning, when Da Kui slowly opened his eyes. Slowly stood up and started Tai Chi as the master did at that time. Although the movements were slow, they were exactly the same as the Master of Wisdom from beginning to end. After a set of punches, Da Kui glanced up at Honka, his eyes slightly closed, and his right palm was pressed against the trunk of the tree. With a soft shout of 'ha', the ancient pine shook with the power of his palm, and the pine needles on the trees fell one after another.
It happened that Huiqing came out and saw it, only to be stunned. I saw Da Kui slowly standing up straight, holding his hands and slowly pressing down and exhaling a breath of turbidity. Huiqing ran over and asked, "Uncle Fool, how did you do it?" Da Kui smiled lightly and said, "Enlightenment." After that, he also learned to float away like a master, and the direction was actually the dining hall.
Huiqing scratched her head and said, "Why can't I realize it?"
There was a loud jingle in the hall, and Da Kui only found five or six steamed buns and half a pot of gruel. These should have been left for Da Kui last night, and Da Kui devoured a fine meal. Coming out of the hall, Da Kui went to find the master. He has already comprehended his internal strength, and Master will definitely praise him. I entered the Master's courtyard and came to the door of the house. Da Kui bowed down and said, "Master, I'm here." ”
The door opened, and the Venerable Master walked slowly out of the ashram to the courtyard and turned his back to Da Kui and asked, "Understood?" Da Kui bowed and said, "Understood." The Master smiled slightly, "You can work with the teacher, and you can try your achievements." ”
Da Kui hurriedly said: "Don't dare." The Spiritual Master said, "It's okay, just make a move." Da Kui made a little plan, and stepped forward with a decent punch. The Master of Wisdom had already stopped him with his left hand when he turned around, and Da Kui wanted to withdraw his hand to change his move, but he didn't know that the Master of Wisdom's left hand seemed to be glued to his own hand.
When he withdrew his hand, the Master's left hand followed his right hand. Da Kui said, "Master, be careful. The right hand suddenly punched again, and who knew that it was pounced forward by a strong force. Da Kui couldn't retract his momentum, and hurriedly made a strange python turn over and take two steps in the middle and fell dangerously.
