Chapter 3: The National Art Originally Was a Scientific Test (Part II)
The next day, he had a rare sleep, was not woken up, and asked Xiao Xiang'er in surprise. It turned out that his mother was kind and ordered him to stay at home obediently for a few days and not have to go to the clan school.
Chen Qi remembered the incident last night, which must have something to do with this matter, so he asked Xiao Xiang'er to find a nursing home, ordered him to visit the street, and soon brought back the news.
Sure enough, last night's martial arts master was not a good class, I heard that it was a big thief in the Central Plains, known as "a plum in the Central Plains," he has a quirk, every time he kidnaps someone's wife and daughter, he will leave a plum blossom. Of course, in other seasons, when there are no plum blossoms, they are replaced by markers.
I don't know why, this big thief actually ran to Lingnan, a place where birds don't shit, could it be that he provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked, and he couldn't get along in the Central Plains? Chen Qi had some malicious guesses.
Last night, "a plum in the Central Plains" kidnapped the baby daughter of the county guard, which led to martial law and search in the whole city, but unfortunately Mao did not find one, and this morning the body of the county guard's daughter was found in the land temple in the east of the city, and I heard that the death was terrible.
Chen Qi thought about it for a while, the light was too dim yesterday, and he didn't notice whether that guy was carrying something on his back, if the news was true, the light skills of that lewd thief were really shocking, and he could jump more than ten feet with a weight of more than 100 catties on his back, which was simply not like a human being.
The light skill of the flower thief is so magical, it is obviously not something that can be done simply by the strength of the physical muscles, the extraordinary power of internal force may really exist in this life, and according to Chen Qi's scientific research for many years in the previous life, there is no extraordinary power on the earth, and that universe has not left a place for God, which is regret and despair.
He has become a master of national arts, and his physical body has developed to the pinnacle of human beings, but unfortunately the path ahead is cut off, which is also the reason why he has not practiced national arts immediately since he awakened his memory, and the future is not bright, and the process of cultivation is very difficult and painful, and there is no motivation.
Now the transcendent power is likely to be real in this world, although it is a little unscientific, but existence is reasonable, he saw hope and the way forward, how not to make Chen Qi excited, a raging fire ignited in his heart, he wants to practice martial arts!
When he told his mother about the idea of practicing martial arts, he was unsurprisingly rejected mercilessly.
The Great Liang Empire has been peaceful for more than 200 years, there are few wars, the horse is put in Nanshan, the sword and gun are put into the warehouse, the role of the warrior is getting lower and lower, the emphasis on literature and light on the military is naturally inevitable, the Chen family is a heirloom of poetry and books, the mother thinks that a good man should take the lead, the Toad Palace is laurel, and the horse is paraded in the street.
There is no way, Xiao Yu can only give full play to the talent of a child, crying, making trouble and rolling around, of course, he has not forgotten to be reasonable, "Uncle Seventeen said that practicing martial arts can strengthen muscles and bones, strengthen the body and cultivate the heart, and there are few diseases, and Xiao Yu can grow up healthily." ”
Hearing this, my mother's expression moved slightly, and my heart was a little shaken.
You must know that with the medical level of this world, the survival rate of infants and young children is very low, and it is not easy to grow up healthy as adults. It may also be bumped and bumped, and a small injury will get tetanus and hang up. An elder brother and an elder sister above Xiaoyu are dragon and phoenix fetuses, but unfortunately they died of a cold wind. This hit the mother hard.
Seeing that his mother was shaken, Xiao Yu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Mother, Xiao Yu will practice martial arts for half a day and practice literature for half a day, and he will not be left behind in civil and military affairs, and he will definitely come back with a champion in the future." Mother finally relented.
If you want to practice martial arts, you naturally have to find a famous teacher, although Chen Qi was a master of national arts in his previous life, but he didn't want to be regarded as a demon, so Chen Huwei took Xiao Yu to visit the martial arts master he thought in Guangzhou City.
Some of these people opened a dart game, some opened a martial arts gym, and some lived in seclusion alone.
During this period, Chen Qi relied on his young age and coquettishness to be cute, and asked these people to demonstrate their skills, shouting to shop around. Although these "masters" were a little unhappy, they had the face of the Chen family, and they were not good at dealing with children, so they reluctantly demonstrated it.
After taking a turn in the city, Chen Qi shook his head in his heart, these so-called martial arts masters are all big and round, with wide bones and strong muscles, and they are all practicing foreign kung fu moves, none of them are legendary martial arts masters who cultivate internal strength, of course, it is not excluded that some people are clumsy.
However, masters of internal strength are scarce, and even more so in remote places in Lingnan, Chen Qi has no choice, it seems that he can only practice national art first, and with the art of self-defense, he will find an opportunity to visit the master of internal strength in the Central Plains in the future.
The martial arts level of these people is about the same, Chen Qi thought about it for a while, and worshiped three of them as teachers, they are good at knife skills, claw skills and marksmanship, which are rare kung fu in national arts.
Next, Chen Qi changed his schedule, got up early before dawn, and went to the three masters' homes to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.
Soon Chen Qi's talent in martial arts shocked the three masters, and in about three months, his claw skill and sword technique had entered the hall, and the most difficult marksmanship had also entered the door, so they proposed to accept Xiaoyu as a personal disciple, but of course they were rejected.
Chen Qi's kung fu has entered the door, and the rest is to study and practice hard day after day for many years, so there is no need to go to the master's house every day to practice martial arts, just practice at home, and if you have any questions, you can ask for advice.
This is exactly what Chen Qi dreamed of, he finally had time to practice Guoshu, and after three months of practice, he already had a deep understanding and understanding of the foreign kung fu in this world.
The foreign kung fu is the same as the national art he practiced in his previous life, which is derived from the ancient generals' battlefield fighting and killing techniques, and the foreign kung fu of the three masters obviously comes from those military attachés and generals who were relegated to Lingnan.
In order to be more suitable for fighting in the rivers and lakes, their descendants have changed many moves and become more flexible in these killing techniques, but the essence has not changed if the soup is not changed. By taking decoction, acupuncture and external force to hit and other means, strengthen the muscles and bones, practice meat and forge skin, and increase strength.
Then in terms of moves, that is, some simple techniques such as concentration, vitality, and force, stay at the level of bright energy, and there is no record of dark energy, let alone chemical energy.
As for the reason, Chen Qi also guessed, it is said that when the practice of foreign kung fu reaches the peak, there is a chance to breed internal force, and the master of national art practices dark energy in order to crack the hard skills of foreign family such as golden bell jars, iron cloth shirts, etc., and the legendary magical internal force can directly enter the enemy's body and destroy the internal organs, the effect is better and more convenient, so no one studies the dark energy.
Because there is an existence of extraordinary power and internal force and true qi in this world, those foreign masters who have practiced kung fu to a certain extent all pursue the cultivation of internal force and true qi and become masters of internal strength. However, there is no existence of extraordinary power on the earth, and the masters of national art can only forge the five internal organs and practice the six internal organs, strengthen the bones and wash the marrow, and develop the secret storage of the human body, embarking on two completely different paths.
As for the national arts and the true qi martial arts in this world, which is higher and which is lower, Chen Qi has never seen it, so he can't make a conclusion.
In late autumn, the sky is just bright, the cold dew has not dried, the fog is hazy, a large courtyard in the remote area of Chenfu, although it is a little dilapidated, but the area is very large, and it is just used as a martial arts training ground for repair.
Chen Qi had already gotten up early to practice, he was shirtless, wearing shorts, holding his hands together, his head was up, and he was walking to his left leg. The two hands are slowly separated, the left hand is pushed forward, the right hand is pulled back, and the two hands are like tearing cotton. Slowly bend your legs downwards and form a half-squat position, with your center of gravity hanging down and slightly biased towards your right leg.
Ordering the maid to wait outside the courtyard to make sure that no one came to disturb him, Chen Qi began to practice Guoshu, and the foundation of Guoshu lies in standing on the pile, and what he is now practicing is the basic three-body pose of Xingyi Boxing. The so-called "ten thousand laws originate from the three-body body", the starting style, force, and closing style of Xingyi Fist are all based on the three-body style, which is the foundation of the boxing method.
In his previous life, as a master of national arts, although there were various methods of standing on the pile in various boxing techniques, Chen Qi believed that the main role of the standing pile had four aspects, the first was to exercise the center of gravity, also called the rooting of the soles of the feet, the center of gravity should be stable, the role of the center of gravity in the fighting is self-evident, and the center of gravity has been broken and has lost nine layers.
The second exercise muscles, similar to self-weight training, the three-body pose pays attention to the body like a dragon, the shoulders are hanging and the elbows are dropped, the waist is slightly bent and the legs are slightly bent, the whole human body presents an S shape, paying attention to the three flats, the eyes are flat, the hands are flat, and the feet are flat, and the three points are parallel lines.
This posture looks simple, but after standing for a while, you will feel that the hands, shoulders, back, waist, hips, thighs, calves, etc., most of the muscles of the whole body are hot and swollen, which is to use their own body weight to exercise muscles.
The third is to experience the state of force, the three-body style pays attention to the outer triad, referring to the shoulder and hip when standing on the pile, try to cooperate with the shoulder and crotch to draw strength, elbow and knee with buckle strength, hand and foot with twist. The shoulders should destroy the elbows, the elbows should destroy the hands, the waist should destroy the hips, the hips should destroy the knees, and the knees should destroy the feet, which is just the opposite of exerting force. When standing on the pile, you can experience the force of the muscles, so as to prepare for the foundation of the future force and practice the playing style.
Fourth, regulate breathing, self-cultivation, and meditation. The three-body pose also pays attention to the inner triad, and if the heart is stable, the heart and mind are together. If the intention is to concentrate on condensation, then the intention is in harmony with the qi. Qi should naturally pop with the form of the body, and if you can't have the heart to resist qi, then qi and force will be combined.
This inner triad, the heart and mind are combined, that is, to calm the mind, exercise willpower and concentration by standing on the pile, and the national martial arts competition, the victory or defeat is only in the blink of an eye, and a little distraction may be the difference between life and death.
As for the combination of intention and qi, qi and force, it is about the breathing method, the breathing should be natural, not deliberate, and the force should be coordinated with the breathing.
Because he was still young and his body had not grown up, Chen Qi did not stand for too long in the three-body pose, his muscles were slightly hot, he stopped, rested for a while, and then stood for a while Tai Chi pile, Wuji pile, and finally Baguazhang, congenital and acquired eight types of pile skills.
Among the three major internal boxing, Baguazhang has the most pile work, which is divided into two types of eight types, this is because Baguazhang is flexible and changeable, fighting guerrilla warfare, and there are various methods of exerting force, and the most muscle groups of the whole body are used, which requires more kinds of pile work to exercise muscles and experience the method of exerting force.
Although there are various postures of Guoshu, they all attach importance to the muscle group exercise of the legs, waist and back, especially the waist, which is one of the most developed places in the human body, and because the center of gravity of the human body is in the waist, the force starts from the feet and the force is born from the waist, which is the basic principle of the national art.
