Chapter 25: First Sight of Master Li Meditation and practice internal strength
"I'd like to see this Wujiquan method. Wen Qian said a little disappreciatively.
"I'll take you to see Master Mighty tomorrow. Wen Qian's father said.
"Okay, Daddy. Wen Qian said.
Early the next morning, Wen Qian and her father went to meet Master Li.
They came to the courtyard where Master Li lived.
"Dad, why can't you hear the sound of practicing?" asked Wen Qian.
"Amazing, Master should be practicing internal skills. Wen Qian's father said.
"And what about internal strength?" Wen Qian was a little surprised.
"Of course there is, it is estimated that it is similar to you adjusting your breath and gathering your own energy, and it is estimated that you threw me so far that it is internal strength. Wen Qian's father said.
"Is that internal strength? In that case, I will also have internal strength?" Wen Qian said with a smile.
"Please Master can let you take fewer detours, and be polite when you see Master Li in a while. Wen Qian's father said.
"yes, I see. Wen Qian said.
Wen Qian followed her father into the courtyard and saw that in addition to some flowers and plants, there was also a small open space. This small open space is estimated to be used by the master for practice.
"It's too small. How can you spread your fists and kicks? Wen Qian said.
"The real kung fu is by no means a one-trick external kung fu, but an inner cultivation. A middle-aged man who came out of the room said.
"Wen Qian, come and see the powerful master. Wen Qian's father said.
"Great, Master, good!" Wen Qian said.
"Let's call me Master Li. The middle-aged man said.
"Well, Master Li is good. Wen Qian changed her words.
"The cultivation of Kung Fu is on the inside, not on the outside. If you only focus on the moves you see on the surface, you are looking for the last thing. Master Li said.
"Master Li, how do you cultivate your inner kung fu?" Wen Qian asked.
"Meditation is what we martial arts people call internal strength. By meditating, adjusting our breathing, and establishing a connection with nature, nature can draw endless power from the external space in which it is located. Master Li said.
"It's not easy. Wen Qian said.
"Then you try. Master Li said with a smile.
"Well, I'll give it a try. Are there any specific requirements?" Wen Qian said.
"Come into the house. There are futon mats inside, and meditate on them. Master Li said.
After Wen Qian and her father entered the house with Master Li, they found that there were indeed several round futon mats with a diameter of one meter.
Wen Qian sat cross-legged on a futon mat nearby.
"Master Li, is it okay to sit like this?" Wen Qian asked.
"You should do this by placing your left calf on top of your right thigh so that the ball of your left foot is about level with your right thigh, and then you can bring your right calf up and place it on top of your left thigh. At this time, the soles of the feet are up, and the thighs are crossed like a triangle, which is called 'double crossed knee'. Master Li said.
Wen Qian figured it out for a while, but she didn't sit down as Master Li asked.
"Master Li, this is too difficult. Wen Qian said.
"This 'double cross-knee' is not easy to learn, but it has its benefits. Master Li said.
"What's the good thing about it?" asked Wen Qian.
"The advantage of 'double crossed knees' is that the knees must be close to the cushion, and the sitting posture is natural and upright, and there is no skew forward, backward, left and right. Master Li said.
