Chapter 125: The Legendary "Stuffy Donkey"
"Cao Ping, I'm okay with a single gun, but I can't feel good when I practice two guns these days! I don't look good in the mirror. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" talked about shooting, Nie Yuan always seemed very serious.
For this problem, Cao Ping also thought about it, it is true that the time left is too tight, and the double gun is a straight blade, the specific usage has been lost since the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and what has been handed down are some flashy performance routines, Cao Ping can only rely on imagination to design the action, and the plot requires that Zhao Jingzhong must dismount to fight, which has turned the advantage of the double gun into a disadvantage, and the action design can only refer to the single gun, which undoubtedly adds another point of difficulty.
The double gun is different from the single gun, it belongs to the Qimen weapon, and there are not many experts who can use it since ancient times, but after training, they are all famous and become a fierce general. Dong Ping in "Water Margin" is one of the Five Tiger Generals; Ding Yanping, Luo Cheng's godfather in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", also made two guns in one hand, and it is said that Luo Yi's Luo family gun and Yang Lin's Qiu Dragon stick are not his opponents; Lu Wenlong in "The Legend of Yue Quan" provoked Hu Tianbao and Hu Tianqing with guns in less than 10 rounds; Yue Yun, Yan Chengfang, He Yuanqing, Zhang Xian, and Yu Hualong, the five tiger generals of the Yue Family Army, also made him uncertain, and the Yue family army had to hang his cards high in the battle...... It can be said that fierce generals do not necessarily use double guns, but those who use double guns are fierce generals.
However, the scarcity of information makes it impossible for Cao Ping to get a glimpse of the style of this legendary blade, and can only be arranged through imagination. This weapon must be carried with both hands, attacking from all sides, more flexible than a single gun, requiring the user to cooperate with both hands tacitly, left and right bows, front and back fighting, such usage can only be used in horse combat. However, on the horse battle, the difficulty of two-handed long weapons will be greatly increased, one is that it is unstable to catch with a long-pole weapon with one hand, and it is not very good to borrow strength from riding a horse with both hands, and it is useless to fight with strength when parrying; second, because the one-handed grip cannot be fixed when stabbing and splitting, the longer the pole, the more it affects the accuracy; third, the pole length is difficult to do the action of combining two weapons. If there is a conflict in the chaotic army, it is still a little convenient to have a long weapon left and right to strike far away, and it will be flashy to fight alone. Therefore, Cao Ping speculated that the use of the dual gun is likely to be based on a one-armed gun, with its double the attack frequency and attack direction of the single gun to establish an advantage, so that the user's physical fitness requirements are undoubtedly much higher, at least need to be able to use two minds.
Cao Ping designed a set of marksmanship based on this in the early stage, but Nie Yuan's practice effect was very unsatisfactory, and now that the time is so tight, he doesn't know if he will shoot a double gun shot.
"Let's see it again! If the effect is not good when shooting, let's change it to a single gun!" Cao Ping still has no bottom in his heart about the design of the double-gun move, and if the shooting effect is not good, it will inevitably humiliate this weapon. But the director has requirements for this section, and even the props are made detachable, which can't help but give Cao Ping a headache, but he can't help but use a stand-in.
In the afternoon of the same day, the crew stayed in the Ulan Butong Scenic Area Hotel, and they could repair it for one night at night, and the filming will officially start tomorrow.
Lu Yang made up for his energy in the car, and when he got out of the car, he took his beautiful fingers to Toad Dam to select the scene. Toad Dam is a scenic spot in the Ulan Butong Scenic Area, which has a photography base, and he happened to go to find some local group performers to play Tartar.
Cao Ping went out for a walk alone, it was the first time he came to the grassland, and he felt very novel. Found a Mongolian uncle in the scenic spot rented a small black horse, he rode on the grassland and slipped up, the uncle was a little worried, said that the horse was younger, more lively, afraid that Cao Ping could not control it, but after seeing Cao Ping's posture on the horse, he waved his hand and let him ride away.
Leaning forward slightly, the little black horse trotted obediently, Cao Ping learned to ride a horse in Hengdian, but ran laps in the pony farm, and finally did not really have the pleasure of riding a horse on the grassland. After running for a while and getting familiar with the rhythm, Cao Ping regained his senses, so he clamped the horse's belly, and the horse ran two steps and galloped wildly.
The endless green on the grassland is as flat as a carpet, leaning down, Cao Ping stepped on the stirrup and squatted, accompanied by the rhythm of the horse, and the horse's running rhythm became one, so that the horse would not be tired, more natural, and the little black horse ran more and more happily.
Feeling the breeze blowing across his face, Cao Ping squinted his eyes, breathing the sweetness of the grass, in the vast grassland, people's hearts seem to be broadened, heroic feelings are filled in the chest, no vomit or unhappy, Cao Ping stood up, stood on horseback and roared, as if he felt that he could always run to the sun!
After running for a while, Cao Ping slowly pulled the horse, believing in the horse's reins, the little black horse snorted, lowered his head and gnawed on the grass, Cao Ping sat up straight, greedily breathing fresh air, in the crew for a few months, Cao Ping's sense of smell was almost numb, although Huairou is dozens of kilometers away from Beijing, but the quality of the air is not much better, and it cannot be compared with the natural oxygen bar on the grassland.
Cao Ping pulled the horse and slowly walked towards a small hillside, the slopes on the grassland are not high, the terrain is flat, climb to the top of the mountain, Cao Ping looked back, and was suddenly shocked by the scenery in front of him. When the sun is about to set, the not dazzling sunlight casts a layer of gold on the green carpet all over the mountains, and the lush woods are dotted on the green carpet.
Under such a beautiful scenery, people's thinking is solidified, and they only care about looking at the scenery in front of them greedily, and portraying it in their minds, and no other distracting thoughts can be tolerated.
Letting go of the reins, Cao Ping sat on the top of the mountain, and there was a soft meadow under him, even if he rolled on it, he would not hurt, leaning on the slope, he let his mind be filled with greenery. It was dark, the flies were silent, and it was the quietest time of the day. There was only the chewing sound of the little black horse grazing beside him, and the beauty of life in front of him was full of green life, and he only felt numb all over his body, as if his soul was about to come out of his shell and merge into this heaven and earth.
Slowly lying down, looking at the sky that was so clean that there was no trace of clouds, the whole person seemed to be wrapped in blue crystal, and for a while, Cao Ping was a little stupid. As if all thoughts were isolated from the body, at this time Cao Ping's mind was only a piece of nothingness, like a dream waking up, Cao Ping entered a mysterious feeling, the spontaneous surge of internal qi, throughout the whole body, like a hot spring soaking the whole body, the cells of the whole body are happily swallowing, the internal qi is not surging in the meridians, but like gentle waves, layer by layer in the body halo, at this moment, comfortable and quiet.
Buddhism is called meditation, Taoism is called epiphany, and ordinary people are called thought accessibility, which is a state that can be encountered but not sought, and countless people want to pursue this feeling of being there but not being able to get it, and Cao Ping has been immersed in this mysterious and incomparably comfortable feeling.
I don't know how long it took, the sky was already dark, and Cao Ping was awakened by the licking of the little black horse. Gently rubbing the cheek of the little black horse, Cao Ping's heart was extremely calm. Getting up again, he seemed to have removed a heavy shell, and the problem that had plagued him for half a year was solved.
The human body is the most sophisticated machine, let science and technology develop for another thousand years, it is not enough to spy on the mystery of human life, internal qi is a gift from God, people want to analyze and deconstruct it from generation to generation, and give it a fixed meridian line, which has violated the original intention of physiology. Just like you don't need to deliberately control it, the heart won't stop for a moment, you don't need to bother to exert yourself, you will keep breathing in your sleep, and the internal qi is also a part of the human body, and it has the function of its job, and forcibly controlling it is like a person who practices turtle breath gong and controls the heart to stop.
Cao Ping closed his eyes and quietly experienced the fainting of the internal qi, without being imprisoned in the dantian, the internal qi had already penetrated into the whole body, and was not swallowed by the body as the predecessors said, when the surrounding cells were ingested to a certain extent, they began to spontaneously swallow and vomit, and with the rhythm of breathing, the internal qi seemed to be accompanied by oxygen, entering the cells of the whole body, rubbing all the places around the body, and at the same time the energy extraction in the cells was diffused, and the internal qi did not decrease but increased, and grew at a speed far exceeding the refining and refining of qi.
It was only at this time that Cao Ping knew that the real role of internal qi was not to make up for the loss of the whole body by refining and refining qi, but to act as a medium to mobilize the vitality of the cells in the whole body and carry out overall improvement, or evolution.
Cao Ping stretched his waist, his bones crackled, and he only felt comfortable. Gently pressing the ground, Cao Ping rose into the air, and landed lightly on the little black horse, he laughed three times, and rode towards the hotel.
Back at the hotel, a bonfire was lit on the grass in the open space next to it, and the crew gathered around the bonfire and chatted.
"Cao Ping, where have you gone, come and eat roast mutton!" Cao Ping, who Zhang Zhen watched, came back and stretched out his hand and shouted.
As soon as he slapped the saddle and turned over and dismounted, Cao Ping fell lightly to the ground, and the little black horse ran back to the master, was slapped on the buttocks by the uncle, and obediently returned to the stable.
The temperature difference in the grassland is relatively large, the day is still very hot, as soon as the sky is dark, the temperature will come down, Cao Ping walked to the bonfire and sat down. "Cao Ping, taste this wine. Wang Qianyuan handed over a wine bottle, and Cao Ping took it and looked at it, it was very simple and packaged in a transparent glass bottle, with Inner Mongolia Prairie White written on it.
Unscrewed the lid, Cao Ping poured out a bottle cap and tasted it, as soon as he entered his mouth, the bursting fire-like taste burned his mouth, and after swallowing it, it was like a bomb exploding in his stomach, and the cool air in his body was dispelled in an instant, and his stomach was as warm as a bonfire.
"What a strong wine!" Cao Ping looked at the wine bottle carefully, it was actually 65 degrees, Wang Qianyuan laughed and said: "This is the famous 'stuffy donkey'! Even the donkey has to get drunk, let's try a few bottles of dried meat at night!"
Cao Ping was noncommittal, they had never drunk together in the crew of "Embroidered Spring Knife", so Wang Qianyuan didn't know how much he drank. It is said that the best alcohol in the crew is Zhou Yiwei, he is the Tujia family, and the master who drinks rice wine as a drink just after the full moon.
