Chapter 16: The Birth of the Dao

What is Kokushu?

"Guoshu is not a performance on stage, it is not a dancing gun and stick to please the audience, it pays attention to killing with one blow within reach, attacking the most vulnerable parts of the human body. ”

"Therefore, when practicing, it is like pushing a mountain, and beating people is like whipping. ”

"Life and death fight, victory and defeat are often ...... in a thought"

......

In the past half a month, Ping'an's head is full of Shi Taigong's voice explaining the national arts, and he has also understood from a layman of the national arts what is "no force when practicing, no force when fighting", all the opponents to kill the enemy, the fist leaves three points of strength, and there is room for advance and retreat.

How to play, how to practice, how to perform.

These three words really distinguish between national art and martial arts, according to Zhao Taigong, things that can kill and hurt people, there will be superfluous tricks, simple, direct, and fast is the most deterrent and lethal.

After practicing for more than a month, Ping An felt that the national art of playing was summed up in six words.

Fast, fierce, fast.

Slow, calm and steady.

Fast, ferocious, and as sharp as an arrow, it achieves the goal of injuring and killing the enemy with the momentum of thunder.

In the middle, there are the keys to slowness, calmness, and stability, and it is not good to blindly hurt the enemy with ferocity.

Because it is easy to bend and exert too much force, the enemy may not be injured, but he is tired half to death.

Only the softness in the rigidity, and the rigidity in the softness, is the deepest way to play in the national arts.

Guoshu.

It's not martial arts, it's not the profound internal skills in the novel, and it's not as chic and flexible as in TV and movies, and it's unfathomable.

There is no floating water, and there is no trace of treading snow, and he didn't wake up safely, and immediately became a cow like Zhang Wuji, so after the enthusiasm passed, Ping An lacked interest.

In fact, the reason why Ping'an learned Bajiquan with Shi Taigong that day was not because he aspired to become a master who tore the tiger, but because he had a heroic dream when he was a child, dreaming of one day falling into a cave in the deep mountains and learning magic skills to protect his mother and himself from harm.

But when he woke up from this dream, he found that Shi Taigong's national art was not as good as his reading, so he quit.

In particular, in order to let Ping An know the fragile parts of the human body, Shi Taigong actually took out a diagram of the meridians of the human body's acupoints to explain to him, and also gave him a few books on traditional Chinese medicine, telling him to study hard.

Ping'an's face collapsed, and he stopped doing it the next day, deliberately avoiding Shi Taigong.

However, the old man is very stubborn, and he catches him every day, but Ping An has never been a well-behaved child, if you step on it, I will change the time of haunting, now you can't help it, right?

Sure enough, after holding on for two days, Shi Taigong left silently and never came again.

Although he can understand with Ping'an's intelligence, Shi Taigong's sad mood of having a real kung fu but no one is willing to learn it, but who can understand the coquettishness and loneliness of his youth.

Compared with decades of hard practice of national martial arts, Ping An prefers the indestructible devastating of the Immortal Flying Knife.

It's a pity that since the last Rolling Stone incident, the golden gourd didn't listen to him, otherwise, this flying knife, which can be called the number one killer weapon in the "God List", is simply a scud missile in the world.

He will definitely be able to become the kind of immortal on TV who takes the enemy's head thousands of miles away.

However, Ping An still took a moment every day to practice the key to the national arts taught to him by Shi Taigong.

It's not that I want to learn a skill and sell it to the party and the country, let alone to crush all the male classmates like a withering and decaying class, and then let the physical education teacher be stunned to the sky, and let him go to the sports school to win glory for the country and win the Olympic gold medal.

Ping An just wants his body to keep up with his extremely agile thinking and perception, so that when the thoughts are together, the limbs of the body immediately react and change.

Because of the last time it happened in the waste stone factory, when the thousands of catties of boulders rolled towards him, Ping An Perception clearly captured the traces of the falling boulders, but his body couldn't dodge accordingly, and Ping An didn't want this kind of life-threatening thing to happen again.

Therefore, in terms of peace, martial arts training is just a kind of satin training, and there is no substantial difference between it and the broadcast gymnastics taught in schools.

The mentality of peace and desire, and going with the flow is exactly in line with the essence of national martial arts.

The practice of national art is just a means, to reach the realm of practice into skill, raising, is the essence of boxing, many national art masters to middle age, only to understand this truth.

Ping An is lazy to fish for three days, dry nets for two days, run to the mountains halfway, pick some wild fruits to eat, but let Ping An Kung Fu advance by leaps and bounds quietly and silently, every time the fist is deployed, Ping An clearly feels his blood rushing in the body, and there is a feeling that it is going to spurt out of the body.

Especially when he practiced boxing according to Shi Taigong's breathing technique of "Qi travels in the tail of Lu and originates in the neck", that aura was actually driven by him.

Like a mischievous fish, scurrying between the various meridians and acupuncture points that he could already recite backwards, and every time this time, Ping An felt that he was a little different.

But if he wants him to say that feeling, he can't do it, so he has to go to the book to find reason.

Taking advantage of the fact that today was Sunday and Ping Zhongjing was not at home, Ping An found a place with plenty of sunlight in his yard, lay on his small rocking chair that had been destroyed by Ping Zhongjing and was about to fall apart, and read aloud:

“...... The people of the ancients were 100 years old in spring and autumn and their movements were not decaying, and the people of today are half a hundred years old and their movements are declining, and the times are different?......"

"Qi Bo said to him: The ancients, who know it, are in yin and yang, and in the number of techniques, eat and drink modestly, live often, and work in vain, so they can form and be with the gods, and they will still go to the ...... when they are 100 years old."

Reading and reading, that mysterious feeling came to mind:

“...... The people of this day use wine as pulp, take delusion as the norm, enter the house with drunkenness, and exhaust their essence with desire...... I don't know how to hold it, I don't know how to control it, so I don't know it's fast...... There is no knots in life, so half a hundred and declining are also ......"

The breeze is blowing, the persimmon tree in the yard is gently shaking, and the lush branches and leaves make a "rustling" sound, which is quiet and calming.

Peace, fully immersed in that wonderful feeling.

“...... Yu Wen ancients had real people, lifting heaven and earth, grasping yin and yang, exhaling *** breath, independent guarding God, muscles such as one, so they can live the world, there is no end, this is the way to ......"

Dao Sheng?

In the dark, there seemed to be a flash of mystery, quietly climbing into the heart of peace.

"Grasp the opportunity of heaven and earth, grasp the law of yin and yang changes, spit out the acquired miscellaneous qi, absorb the essence of the sun, moon, grass and trees, achieve the unity of body and spirit, and then immortality, solid Taoism?"

Ping An looked at the dialogue between Qi Bo and the Yellow Emperor in this "Emperor's Internal Canon", and was stunned.

Literally, it is not difficult to understand this sentence, the difficulty lies in the mysterious and mysterious creation of heaven and earth and the changes of yin and yang, as for the essence of the sun, moon, grass and trees, and the unity of body and spirit, Ping An has already done it.

Isn't the scent of plants and trees he breathes every day the essence of the sun and the moon nourishing all things?

He recited ancient poems and ancient words every day, and was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he had long gained insight into the realm of Confucianism, knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world. Each of these realms is a kind of mental cultivation that is used to elevate one's spiritual world.

When this spiritual power reaches a certain level, people's control over the body becomes more and more subtle.

For example, the flow of blood, the control of muscles, the contraction of meridians, and the length of inhalation and exhalation, these peace can be perfectly controlled.

"It's no wonder that the ancient Confucian saints, all of whom were self-controlled perverts, were able to write bastard words of 'preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires'...... But what about the changes in yin and yang?"

Ping An scratched his head, stunned......

Well, wait a minute......

Ping An suddenly remembered that he had seen such a sentence in a medical book given to him by Shi Taigong: "Yin and Yang, the human body is also bloody." ”

"I see!"

During this period of peace, I read a lot of books about Chinese medicine, and I know that the flow of qi and blood will change differently with the sunrise and sunset, and all these changes will be very strict according to the laws of the human body's internal organs.

For example, the 12 meridian flow columns will flow through the five internal organs of the human body in a fixed way every two hours.

Another example is that people every morning from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock, when the qi and blood flow through the spleen, people will be full of energy, concentration, work and study efficiency, and from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when the qi and blood pass through the heart, people will feel tired and want to rest and sleep.

And mastering the changes in blood and qi is equivalent to grasping the changes in yin and yang?

Got it!

What about the rest of the heaven and earth creation?

It's also hard to be safe, because when Shi Taigong taught him the art of the country, he once said that everything in the world, whether it is people, animals, or plants, has its charm. Just like a person who practices martial arts, once he masters the existence of qi, dark energy is naturally generated.

The qi here does not refer to the breath of breath, nor the smell of air, oxygen, or fart, but the qi produced by the blood qi tumbling in the human body.

Because once a person exercises, the whole body will heat up, and when the hair is very strong, it will sweat, and this heat is qi.

Therefore, during exercise, closing the pores of the whole body and locking the blood and qi from dissipating is the key method of cultivation.

So......

And that's all it takes!
