Chapter Twenty-Three: Perception
Pang He nodded and said, "When I just watched my master and senior brother drinking, I felt a strong breath on my body, so I tried my 'qi', but I still only felt the qi and couldn't control it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Later, I wondered if it would be better if I drank like my master and brother. In this way, I drank a bowl of wine, and as the wine spread all over my body, I slowly felt that the 'qi' was getting stronger and stronger, and I was able to control it a little, but only a little. ”
Zhou Tong listened to it and praised: "It's already very good, 'qi' is intangible, so it is difficult to completely master him." It's like the wind, it's not fixed, you have to want him to be fixed, close the windows and doors, and the wind is gone. It's the same with qi, it's present in everyone, but some people can feel it, while others can't perceive it. It's like flowing water, it's crystal clear, if it's flowing slowly, it's hard for you to notice that he's flowing, but when he rushes up, or he reaches into the water, or you put a leaf or a boat, you can feel his breath, his power, right? ”
Pang He nodded earnestly.
Zhou Tong continued: "When Wen Gong and I were drinking just now, it was luck that the wine on our bodies forcibly spread to the surface of our bodies to accelerate the discharge of wine. You can find that it proves that my hard work has not been in vain. Although you have just driven a little bit, there is no need to be discouraged, it is really not easy to drive the 'qi' so quickly. Also, I want to tell you that although you have just drunk alcohol, the wine only strengthens your perception, as I just said, if you look out the window and see the leaves falling, you may not know whether the wind is strong or not, and what the wind direction is. Wine is the same as leaves, wind is also like your own 'qi', only by strengthening your own practice, can you strengthen the control of your body's 'qi'. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Pang He nodded as usual: "I understand, master, I understand what you mean, what you just meant was to let me have a deeper perception of 'qi', so that I could understand that the 'qi' in my body is not just the part I originally felt." ”
Zhou Tong listened, said "um" with relief, and continued: "That's right, because you have just started, I want you to discover, accelerate your understanding of your own 'qi', feel the 'qi' in your body, and hope that being a teacher is not a seedling to help grow." ”
Pang He hurriedly said: "No, I will definitely follow what the master said, and I will not deviate from the master's expectations." ”
Zhou Tong smiled: "I believe in you, but the teacher warns you, you can't drink as soon as you practice 'qi', it's easy to go astray, if you want to feel 'qi', you don't necessarily need to drink, and practicing 'qi' doesn't need to perceive all your 'qi', you can practice controlling the direction of the flow of small strands of 'qi', and you can also practice that you can already control the speed of 'qi' flowing in your body." ”
"Master rest assured!" Pang He said confidently.
"Okay, okay, let's do it, you give me your original set of punches again, let the teacher see, the same as last time, you only need to make moves, but pay attention to your own 'qi', let me see if it will be different." ”
Pang He obeyed the order: "Yes!" got up, breathed a little, and then started the military body boxing, one move and one style, it seemed to be more fluent than before, because the previous master's guidance moves were too deliberately streamlined, that is, rigid, so Pang He did not follow the original fixed moves this time, and fought randomly and naturally.
After the fight, Zhou Tong smiled happily: "Yes, I have improved a lot, you can take a look at the boxing book I gave you again, and recall what I and your senior brother fought just now." ”
Pang He took out the boxing book and looked at it carefully. Su Ying also stood up and began to tidy up the wine and food on the table and the wine jar on the ground.
Zhou Tong just looked at Pang He, as if thinking about something, and smiled again inexplicably, and when Pang He read more than a dozen pages, Zhou Tong said: "Come here first, you show me the drill you just saw." ”
Pang He put down his fist and fought according to his memory, and after the fight, Zhou Tong asked, "How do you feel?"
Pang He replied: "This set of boxing techniques, when I first watched it, I just thought that the boxing techniques were exquisite, but when I just fought, I made a few moves, and the more I fought, the more hesitant I became, and the more I fought, the more confused I became." ”
"That's why there is no name on this boxing book, and my senior brother calls him 'Yixingquan'. This set of boxing methods seems to be a basic routine, but it contains endless endless seconds, the heart is the fist, the heart is there, the fist is there. It is my senior brother, that is, Shi Bo Jintai's proud work, he perfectly integrates the changes of the breath and the use of power in the human body into the boxing method, if you can fully master this set of boxing methods, you can achieve the realm of human boxing. Your master's martial arts talent is far above me, especially boxing, the first in the world, no one disagrees, when I accompanied him to resist Liao's victory, he handed over this boxing book to me, and I also taught you all the brothers. Zhou Tong explained.
"Then how can you not fight more and more ・・・・・・"
Before Pang He finished speaking, Zhou Tong said: "Practice more, and integrate this set of boxing techniques, so that your punches can be free and unrestrained." Just now, because you have been in contact with this set of boxing for a relatively short time, you have just started, and when you fight, you come in the order of the boxing spectrum, and you find that sometimes the moves cannot be related to each other, so you will be a little hesitant and confused and don't know how to fight. If you play with your heart and look at each move seriously, you will find that there is a special connection between each move, such as the one I just played, in one go, it is because between each move, I insert a very natural action at this connection point through my own characteristics, or subtract a certain action between the two moves, understand?"
Pang He suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder, I always feel that the moves played by the master and the senior brother are the same as those on the boxing book, but also a little different, I can't say it, and it looks similar, but it just feels like there is a slight difference, it turns out that this is the case, no wonder, I have been following the boxing book, and imitating the moves that the master just played, because I want to draw a gourd in the same way, but I always feel that it is wrong, so I will be undecided." ”
"It's good if you can understand, I said that this set of boxing is a basic and practical move, there is no fixed combination, you can combine and split it at will. I also said before that the move is dead, the person is alive, the key to a good punch is the person, not the move, any move has its flaws, only through their own use, in order to avoid the flaws from being used by others. ”
Pang He nodded and said, "Master, the apprentice knows." ”
"Well, that's very good, you continue to practice, and take the first step for the teacher. With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Master stay, let's leave after eating!" Pang He hurriedly stayed.
Su Ying had already cleaned up the wine and food on the table, and when she saw that the master was leaving, she also said, "Yes, master, stay, wait until you finish eating, it's not too late to leave!"
Zhou Tong didn't accept the retention: "Okay, you don't want to stay, the master should also go back to see, after coming out for so long, he also changed back, and he will come back when he has time in the future?"
Pang He and Su Ying saw that the master insisted on leaving, so they sent the master to the door: "Master go slowly, come back when you have time!"
Zhou Tong nodded, held up the umbrella, and slowly disappeared into the rain.
