Chapter 19 The diameter of the peephole in the former residence
In the past, when I was in my hometown, occasionally there were people who came to the village, and the opening must be this set of punches, if you beat down a set of faces and do not change your heart and do not beat, the onlookers will stay and continue to watch, otherwise they will shake their heads and disperse. Therefore, Lin Jianlan was no stranger to this Luohan boxing, but he secretly wondered in his heart: "Why does Uncle Qing have such a high level of martial arts, and he still keeps these books that look relatively superficial and basic?"
This "Luohan Boxing Method" is very old, open the inside of the book cover, there are a few lines written on it, but it has been crossed out, and you can see it carefully if you identify it carefully: "When I was young, my father's Arhat Boxing method was the pillar of martial arts, and the foundation was firm, so that there could be great progress. He looked down again, but there were a few small words written: "Coarse and shallow!"
Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "Presumably, after Uncle Qing learned the kung fu of Tongjiquan and Qianyuanzhang, he felt that Luohan Boxing really had nothing worth studying, so he wrote it on it, but later he felt that what he said was wrong, so he crossed it out, which is really incomprehensible." ”
Flipping through one after another, the inner pages are all graphics of ordinary boxing methods, and occasionally there are marks on the side, and some say: "If this punch goes down three points, the effect is not the same." Some said, "There are many flaws, if you throw this punch, what will happen if you are attacked in the ribs?" and some have been sketched out and are even difficult to identify. Lin Jianlan nodded and said secretly: "No wonder Uncle Qing's martial arts are so strong, it turns out that learning an ordinary martial arts martial arts and soldiers' Arhat Boxing has such insight and improvement." ”
There are more and more scribbles in the back, Lin Jianlan turned all the way to the last page, only to see that the back of the book cover was densely written a full page, the handwriting was not as sloppy as the front, but with a pen upright and cautious, written in small letters: "There are many rough views in the front, and I can't smear them one by one, which is very embarrassing." Looking at the boxing method, most of the sets of moves in the world are derived from all the way, the Luohan boxing here, the other boxing at that time, but the body shape has changed slightly, and the world's boxing methods have the same meaning. With fist swordsmanship, stick method, and martial arts in the world, there is no difference. ”
Although Lin Jianlan didn't understand it very well, he secretly said in his heart: "Ah, Brother Yue has changed the stick technique at home into a sword technique, but it can be seen that there are similarities, what Uncle Qing said is probably good." He looked down and said: "People who learn a martial art often have a solid foundation, but they are easy to stick to one move and one style, half a point is not bad, but they don't know that the enemy is different, the moves used are different, and they stick to the old rules, this is the great enemy of martial arts!"
Lin Jianlan said secretly: "This is not bad at all, presumably Uncle Qing can understand these after countless times of fighting against people and enemies, and record it in the boxing book, but this boxing book is too ordinary, and no one will watch it if it is placed here at will, and it is because of Uncle Qing's painstaking efforts to cover the dust here." Everyone in the world likes some unfathomable martial arts, but they don't know that the world's martial arts come from one place, and they practice ten disciplines, but it is better to refine one and understand ten disciplines. ”
The south is warm and humid, even in winter, it is not easy to snow, at most it is the winter rain that has been experienced non-stop, but this winter is extremely abnormal, the sun and the moon alternate, the stars are moving, time flies very fast, in the blink of an eye, Lin Jianlan has been in the south of the Yangtze River until the cold winter season. As soon as winter came, there was a heavy snowfall that was about to melt, but it started to rain again, and the weather was much colder than usual.
The heavy snow has been blowing one after another, and it has been a few days, and ordinary people have long been at home, but the Kuangyi Gang is still in order step by step. Although the snow did not stop, in order to avoid the snow, the young disciples in the Kuangyi Gang took turns to clean up, while the slightly older disciples still braved the cold to practice against the snowflakes.
"Doctor Cheng, I can't teach anymore!"
Doctor Cheng was holding a book in the room and grinding it against a wall chart, and when he heard the words, he turned around, but saw Qin Tianxiong standing at the door, with snowflakes on his head, and his face was angry. Qin Tianxiong said angrily: "I originally expected him to be neither stupid nor stupid, and to be able to fight for us, but now I see that he can't help him!"
Doctor Cheng patted Qin Tianxiong on the shoulder and said, "Speak slowly, why did he make you, the master, so angry today?"
Qin Tianxiong said: "Those of us who practice martial arts, practice Sanfu in summer and Sanjiu in winter, what we pay attention to is solid kung fu, and it is inevitable to suffer a little hardship." A few of our brothers in the gang had great expectations of him, so I never spoiled him because he was a gangster, but was very strict with him. I taught him martial arts, and he had to point fingers at me in turn, no, I said a bunch of stupid and stupid things to Xuehua today, and my head hurt when I heard it, so I quickly asked him to go back. Doctor Cheng, I really can't help it!"
Doctor Cheng said: "Alas, Brother Qin, I have been finding out the way of his internal skills for more than half a year, but I have not succeeded, and he can only practice some external kung fu until now." You are the most solid and excellent in our brothers, so that's why you teach him. Although Lan'er doesn't say it on the face, but if she can't practice internal skills, she must be sad in her heart, if you don't listen to what you say, you have to tolerate it. ”
Qin Tianxiong said: "You also look down on me, don't you teach him anything offensive? At first, I said that it was because my words were not elegant enough, and then I invited the hall master and Zhang Protector, and the result was still the same, you all know this, is it because our brothers don't have the capacity to tolerate people?
Dr. Cheng sighed: "So far, I don't know that he is difficult to teach, but now I can only teach one step at a time." He can't compare to Yin Yin's practice since he was a child, and he can't practice internal skills, even if he studies seriously now, I'm afraid he will not be able to escape defeat when the time comes. At that time, the hall masters were because of the grace of the head of Cao, so the Kuangyi Gang tried their best to hunt down and kill the gang leader, this Lin Jianlan is the son of the gang leader, who is innocent, because the fight between the gang leader and his wife was involved, and now if he doesn't learn some martial arts to defend himself, I'm afraid he will die in the future. ”
Qin Tianxiong said: "Doctor Cheng, you are kind-hearted, but even if we are willing to teach, we must also be willing to learn him, okay, in the future, I will use my life to protect him from harm, Lao Cheng, I also advise you, you don't have to study any internal strength for him, if you don't want to learn the moves, even if you have internal strength, what can you do, is it just a random fight against the enemy? I really want to teach, you ...... You can ask for another master!" After saying that, he got up and left, but was grabbed by Doctor Cheng and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the two brothers Fang and Zhang, and teach Lin Jianlan together, so that he can understand that we are working hard." ”
Although Qin Tianxiong's anger did not subside, Dr. Cheng persuaded him with kind words for a while, and he couldn't give no face at all, so he followed Dr. Cheng out of the house sullenly.
Lin Jianlan was in a daze in the house at this time, and said in his heart: "In the morning, it was just that Uncle Qin's trick whale was closed, the two wrists were twisted, and they were entwined and leaned against each other, and one wrist should have been held by the other wrist and twisted, and the other wrist could have been completely free to come out and give the other party a welcome palm, so he had a bad face, and asked me to go back to the room to practice first, but I hurriedly walked away, somehow, alas, maybe I have to find Grandpa Cheng to teach." Thinking of this, he shook his head, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
Since he lived in Lin Longqing's house, he pushed open the window from time to time to look at the lake and clear water, the willow trees by the pond were first pieces of flying flotsam, often flew into the window, and made the ground all over the ground, and then gradually the weather was cold, the willow leaves were like a string of money, hanging on the water, reflecting the whole lake is yellow, now the leaves of the willow tree have fallen, the cold wind in winter has already blown them without a trace, it snowed, the branches are crystal clear, through this scenery, Lin Jianlan can feel the shadow of the northern winter slightly. A cold wind blew, but it was not cold, Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "Only in this place south of the Yangtze River can I dare to open the window like this, that kind of bone-chilling cold, after all, only in the north." Although there are satin quilts, expensive stoves, and trees that don't turn yellow in winter, this is not my hometown after all, and I can't like it at all. ”
At this time, looking at the lake that was still not frozen, but it was clear and cold, dark and secluded, and the snow on the shore became more and more dazzling, Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "No wonder Uncle Qing often looks out of the window every day, in a daze for a few hours, I didn't understand it at that time, and now I am in a foreign country, and I finally understand that Uncle Qing misses Jiangnan, which is the same as I miss the small village in the north." He was thinking wildly, but he heard footsteps outside, and someone outside shouted, "Lan'er?"
Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "Sure enough, Uncle Qin called Grandpa Cheng here again", closed the window, and ran to the door with a sad face, which was already a smiling face, but when he opened the door, he saw that Doctor Cheng was still followed by Hall Master Fang and others, all of whom had solemn faces, so he put away his smile and bowed to the side. Several mermaids rushed in, each sat down, and Doctor Cheng stared at Lin Jianlan and said: "In the past six months, I have grown a lot, and I am no longer the country boy who didn't know anything before." I just don't know where his mind is spent. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but show a worried look on his face, and said solemnly to Lin Jianlan: "Lan'er, come here." ”
Lin Jianlan slowly walked to Doctor Cheng and sat down, and said in a low voice, "What does Grandpa Cheng command?"
Doctor Cheng said: "In the past half a year, the Fang Hall Master, Zhang Protector, and Qin Protector have all taught you, but when it comes to you, no one sighs, saying that you don't obey discipline, these three people are all leaders in the gang with strong martial arts, and they are also among the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, and none of them are qualified to teach you?"
Lin Jianlan saw that Doctor Cheng's face was unhappy, and there was already a sense of reproach in his tone, so he didn't dare to sit again, got up and said, "Lan'er doesn't dare." ”
Seeing that he was frightened, Dr. Cheng sighed: "During this period of time, I couldn't sleep and eat, and I was thinking about how to let you practice internal skills day and night, and Qin Protector They are responsible for teaching you external kung fu, and they will merge with each other when you learn internal skills.
Lin Jianlan was about to speak, but he stopped, and said in his heart: "I have read all the basic boxing book sword techniques left by Uncle Qing, but most of them are different from those taught by Uncle Qin. When Uncle Qin taught me, I always showed them what Uncle Qing said, but they said that I didn't lay a good foundation and be impetuous, just like today, which made Uncle Qin unhappy. Alas, I originally thought that if someone who studied martial arts had a different opinion, he would be as happy as if he heard a voice, even if he argued. But they ignored me, and sometimes reprimanded me, just because I was only their apprentice, and in their eyes I was a teenager who knew nothing. Thinking of this, he bowed his head and said, "Lan'er knows that he is wrong, next time the elders teach me martial arts, I will definitely not upset my uncles again." ”
Seeing this, Qin Tianxiong frowned and said: "Little boy, when did you not look so pitiful and compensate us? But in a few days, it will become the same again! You just talk about today, you haven't practiced yet, so you will point out the moves I taught you, I told you not to be impetuous, but you said to the flying snow grinding and chirping, how can you not make us all cold?"
Lin Jianlan saw that Qin Tianxiong still remembered the events of the morning, but he had a sense of pity for him in his heart, although he could not practice internal strength, and he was not interested in martial arts, but he felt that the books left by Uncle Qing were very appetizing, and he often felt that Uncle Qing was even more appetizing when he read them every night. It is in the past six months or so that he has truly realized that the people who practice martial arts are actually very different, and that the cultivation of internal strength and the subtlety of the moves can be ranked among the first-class masters by studying and practicing hard, but this is just "martial arts"; there is also "martial arts" on it, and there are even fewer people who can go up to the next level, and they can often rely on "martial arts" comprehended to a higher level, called himself a faction, and created his own martial arts mind, and Uncle Qing created his own martial arts in his thirties, and Brother Yue also created a set of swordsmanship according to his own stick method. I'm afraid that since ancient times, there are not many people who can reach this realm, because they rarely haunt the rivers and lakes after they have an epiphany, and I am afraid it is also because it is difficult to meet opponents and the masters are lonely.
