Time flies, Jiangnan is already around December, and the temperature in Hangzhou is not low at this time, but the humidity in the air always penetrates the necks of pedestrians on the road, telling people that winter is coming.

Qin Mu completed his doctoral dissertation as early as a month ago, but his supervisor intended to keep him as a postdoctoral fellow so that he could stay in the university to teach in the future, so Qin Mu started his postdoctoral research career in advance.

Since he was a child, he has practiced the foreign exercises that he used to practice in the world, and after the age of fifteen, he followed his master Leung Chong to practice Wing Chun, and he has been in contact with martial arts for 20 years.

But if it is said that he is not talented, it is even more, he has studied Wing Chun for three years, and his master Leung Chung said that there is nothing to teach him.

Liang Chong once said to him with a complicated face when he lost to Qin Mu for the first time: "I don't know how much I taught you, you don't want to learn my martial arts, this is your ambition, but you have to understand, compatible with a hundred schools, Fang Cheng Grandmaster." ”

Leung Chong Yimen, although it is the source of Wing Chun, but it is very different from the Wing Chun practiced by Qin Mu now, Leung's Wing Chun is still the inheritance of Yongchun White Crane Boxing, and also has Hung Boxing. However, Qin Mu's practice of Wing Chun is biased towards the playing style passed down by Ip Man, and the most obvious difference is probably "no tiger and crane".

When Ip Man founded his own school of Wing Chun in Hong Kong, he further broke away from the trap of Wing Wing Chun White Crane Boxing, and instead introduced many Western fighting theories in the West, but if he completely transformed Wing Chun into a fighting art, it was not, the first set of "small thoughts" to practice in Wing Chun was the essence of his Wing Chun boxing. It is precisely because of his inclusiveness that he has achieved the current Wing Chun and the reputation of a generation of grandmasters.

But although this has become the foundation for the prosperity of Wing Chun today, it is also the reason why Wing Chun has not seen the grandmaster after Ip Man.

Chinese martial arts, the root of which often comes from the imitation of animals, the shape and meaning from the five bird plays, so there are twelve forms of the law, and the Tai Chi legend comes from Zhang Sanfeng after observing the snake and crane fight, and the Baguazhang is even more "shaped like a swimming dragon, regarded as an ape, sitting like a tiger, turning like an eagle plate" saying.

After Ip Man's Wing Chun abandoned the White Crane Gate method, it was more concise and easier to learn, but it was even more difficult to cultivate to the point of turning strength, but this was because Ip Man did not create his unique method of practicing the marrow of Wing Chun. There was no way out for the successor, so later Wing Chun talents came out, but grandmasters were hard to find.

Qin Mu wants to choose this follow-up exercise, naturally he has his plans, he is born with a strong spirit, when cultivating small thoughts, Wing Chun can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds, more importantly, he found that the practice of small thoughts, slowly made his spirit more lively and flexible, although the quantity did not increase, but the quality was different from the past, so although he understood that there would be obstacles in the future, he still insisted on practicing Ip Man Wing Chun.

He used to think that although this martial art was flawed, he had been a human being for four lifetimes, and his martial arts experience was far better than that of people in this life, and he was also eighty or ninety percent sure that he would create a method of washing the marrow in the future.

But he later found out that it was not that Ye Man was unwilling to create the method of washing the marrow, but that the founder of this kind of martial arts did not create merit first and then pierce that barrier, but instead achieved success and made a natural breakthrough, and in turn summarized the method of breakthrough and passed it on to future generations.

The tiger and leopard thunder sound of Xingyi Gate, the fishing toad strength of Taijiquan, and the hum and ha of Baji Gate are all like this, if Ip Man did not enter Huajin, it is a joke, but in the inheritance he left, there are only a few words about Huajin, and it is just a few words about the Buddha who talks about cultivating the mind.

This is the strength of the apprentice.

Therefore, although Qin Mu cultivated quickly and was talented, at his point, he was scratching his ears and cheeks, and he had no clue. Now he has only trained the dark energy to the most flexible limbs, but the most important viscera and head are not allowed to enter, these two places are so fine, if the spine is not practiced through the method of washing the marrow, then with the quality of Qin Mu's blood at this time, it is impossible to enter those small blood vessels with his mind without harming the body, so his cultivation is also the limit.

It's not that he didn't think about finding the method of washing the marrow to practice, Liang Chong has a good relationship with several Taoist sects in Wudang Mountain, and even Qin Mu has seen it with Mangniu Jin and Toad Fishing Jin, but the more he looks at it, the more he understands that the method of washing the marrow of others is not suitable for him.

There are thousands of schools of martial arts, even if those sects that do not have superior exercises are excluded, I am afraid that there are more than a hundred left, but if you talk about the way of playing, in fact, there is not much difference between the various factions. The names are different, but the actions are the same. Therefore, there are also gossip on the rivers and lakes that are also Tai Chi, and Tai Chi is also Xingyi, and Xingyi is also a gossip.

Not to mention that the practice methods of the Xinyi Liuhe Quan and the Xingyi Quan are all similar, but the two exercises are very different. Martial artists with a little eyesight can recognize it, so the fighting style or even the practice method is not the basis for distinguishing a martial art.

If you want to practice a practice to the upper level, you must have the divine will of a practice and be familiar with the philosophy of this exercise. For example, if you cultivate the shape and meaning, the twelve forms should not only be similar, but also practice as if you are the dragon and the snake, so in the end, there will naturally be the sound of the tiger and leopard in the body, washing the scriptures and cutting the marrow. That Tai Chi comes from the art of practicing qi, so when you cultivate, you must be like the golden toad, breathing the qi of heaven and earth, and refining the five swelling and six intestines. The rest is the same.

Therefore, the method of washing the marrow is not a law created by man, but a method of self-generation.

But Qin Mu cultivates Wing Chun, where can he have such a divine will to practice the method of washing the marrow of Tai Chi. Although there are such great masters in the world who are proficient in Tai Chi Xingyi Bagua, such as Sun Lutang and the like, but if one method is not pure, it is impossible to talk about Bo, only if one of them is cultivated to the extreme, only then can he continue to improve with reference to other martial arts.

Therefore, Qin Mu had been in this predicament of having no way forward for a year at this time.

He naturally understands that if he can't realize himself, he must have the guidance of a famous teacher, but the people who can guide him in this regard are all people who have turned their strength, and even people who will be trained through their strength can inspire him. Such grandmasters, if it is said that the Republic of China is thriving, there are only three or five people, and if they want to find it now, it is even more like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But he knew the dragon snake well and knew that at least one person could help him, and that was the goal of his trip.
