"Okay, hurry up, hurry up, pay attention, raise your feet steadily, land accurately, and be ruthless to yourself...... No, lower your shoulders a little more...... Yes, lean forward, put your weight in front of you......"

Behind Xianyunguan, Liu Jiannan's urging voice often sounded, and I saw him sitting on the Taishi chair, crossing Erlang's legs, drinking small wine and tea, which was called a moisturizing. In comparison, Zhang Xuanqing was much harder, wearing a lead coat and iron shoes, running laps not far away.

Since the last conversation, the next day, Zhang Xuanqing followed Liu Jiannan to learn the light gong body method. First of all, to practice "top gong", that is, to choose a flat ground, the body is upright, the hands are drooping, the legs are together, the forefeet are bounced upward, the knees are not bent when jumping, and at the same time, the mind is drawn upward, and the top of the head is upward, and there is a crane soaring to the sky. This is to exercise the flexibility and strength of the ankle joint. If you want to run like a spring, you have to practice like this.

After the top exercise, you can practice the running method of jumping on tiptoe, first practice on the flat ground, and practice on the wooden stake after practicing on the flat ground, so it is also called "running pile".

The pile is divided into horse pile, nine palace pile, plum blossom pile. Among them, the horse pile is to prepare twenty or thirty logs with a length of two feet and a diameter of about two inches, according to the size of their own steps, one pile at a time, straight lined up, running back and forth on it;

After practicing the horse pile and the nine-palace pile, then practice the plum blossom pile - that is, the pile wood is nailed into the shape of the plum blossom five petals in the soil, every five piles are a group, more than six or seven groups, less than three or four groups. It is different from the straight to go of the horse pile, and the prescribed route of the nine-palace pile from one to nine from nine to one. The plum blossom pile is more flexible than the first two, and it needs to run and jump at will, which not only exercises the lightness of the footsteps, but also can practice dodging and moving, as light as a raccoon cat, and as sensitive as an ape.

After mastering the pile-running kung fu, the stability of the feet and the flexibility of the body are considerable, and you can turn to the practice of running bricks. The kung fu of running bricks is the stage of transition from steady strength to buoyancy, which can be divided into three stages: tiling bricks, side standing bricks, and erecting bricks. This method is to exercise the accuracy of the foothold, the light and stable body method, and only when you are proficient can you get started.

That's right, it's the entry level!

If you want to practice real light skills and real eaves and walls, after running bricks, you also need to practice iron tin monuments, jumping pits, jumping platforms, pointing beans, jumping sand, running walls, swimming walls, and gong.

The iron tin tablet is like Zhang Xuanqing now, wearing lead clothes and iron shoes, adding weight layer by layer, and after the weight is adapted, take off the lead clothes and iron shoes, and immediately lose weight and be healthy.

Jumping pit is to dig a three-foot deep pit, people stand in the pit, first forward, then backward, then left, and then right, respectively practice skillfully, can go up lightly and gradually deepen the depth of the pit, until it reaches more than one or two feet above the head.

The jumping platform and the jumping pit have the same magic, build a three-foot high platform, and it is better to jump on it without making a sound.

After the completion of the jumping pit and the jumping platform, you can practice counting beans: that is, lay a layer of wooden or stone slabs on the ground of the jump, and spread another layer of soybeans or peas on the board, mainly to practice gradually reducing the borrowing force under your feet, and after the success, you can jump up with a small force.

This is followed by sand jumping, that is, replacing the beans with sand and replacing the starting point with the foothold, mainly practicing the method of jumping back and forth. People are required to jump up in the pit, only use their toes to lightly touch a little on the sand, and use a little force to jump back, and no traces of feet are allowed on the sand.

This method is very important in light body kung fu, such as jumping into a high wall, the body has flown over the wall, but suddenly you find that the place where you fell is a pool or a ditch, etc., and you must not go down, then you can use this kind of kung fu to jump back out of the wall. Or fly and jump in, and suddenly step on the flap, and it is bound to sink into the pit and be captured. With this kind of kung fu, with a little bit of strength under your feet, you can fly out and not be counted by others.

After jumping the sand, it is to run the wall and swim the wall, the former exercises the ability to stick to the wall and rise straight up with only two toes; the latter exercises the ability to stick to the wall with the back and use the power of the elbow heel to do the work on the wall, which is like the ability of the gecko to swim on the wall, so it is also called the gecko swimming wall.

Finally, there is the "Gong Gong", which specializes in borrowing strength to assist the lack of leaping. After practicing this skill, don't say that ordinary courtyards, even the palace compound can also be walked, and the cliffs can also be walked on the ground.

Zhang Xuanqing suspected more than once that Liu Jiannan was a snitch who robbed homes and houses, and even a thief who picked flowers, otherwise how could he be so powerful?

In fact, having said all that, he has just erected bricks with an iron tin tablet now.

This is still because he relied on the healing power of the cool true qi to the body, practiced day and night, and even reversed the two time and space to make such rapid progress.

Of course, if you only practice light exercises every day, it is inevitable that you will be a little single. Occasionally, Zhang Xuanqing also learned boxing and foot weapons from Liu Jiannan, and even showed him Xingyi Boxing, Baguazhang, and Sun's Taiji, which he learned from the old Taoist.

As expected, Liu Jiannan's view is the same as Sun Simiao's, Zhang Xuanqing's three martial arts have learned the form, but he has not learned God, and he lacks the method of exerting strength, but the moves are still very exquisite.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the end of the year has arrived.

......

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.

Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, at noon, Zhang Xuanqing, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Liu Jiannan, the Wu couple, and even Yuan Tiangang's Uncle Gong came, and a group of people gathered together and had a reunion dinner.

The Wu couple had three sons, the eldest son was killed in the army, and the second son was in the army, serving as an assistant lieutenant of Rong, and a petty officer who was not in the stream, and was in the field; only the youngest son, surnamed Wu Minggong, was 16 years old and studied at the foot of the mountain on weekdays, and today he also came to Xianyunguan to reunite with his parents.

"Yuan Zheng Qizuo, all things are new, and the elders of Fu Wei respect the body and ten thousand blessings and gold. "The young man deserves to be a scholar, and when he saw Zhang Xuanqing and a few others, he fell to the ground to greet him.

This is a congratulatory sentence, which means "Happy New Year, I wish you all a happy new year, health and longevity".

Zhang Xuanqing and the others had already prepared a hanger of New Year's money, and even Liu Jiannan, who had lived in Xianyunguan for so long, was also wearing a Taoist robe, and people even worshiped him, and he was embarrassed not to give it.

After eating, Yuan Tiangang asked the Wu couple: "Have you been in the Taoist temple this year, or have you gone down the mountain to go home?"

The Wu family is a villager in the village under the mountain, one cooks for everyone on the mountain on weekdays, and the other takes care of their son at the bottom of the mountain.

Hearing this, the husband and wife glanced at each other and said, "If the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, let's be in the Taoist temple tonight, and we will go down the mountain tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't dislike it, how can you dislike it, there are just two people on the mountain, and it's not lively at all for the New Year. Yuan Tiangang smiled and accepted the intentions of the Wu couple.

The Wu couple is different from them, they are all singles, even Liu Jiannan, it is said that he has no home, so he wanders the rivers and lakes. And the Wu couple still have relatives in the village under the mountain, it stands to reason that they should go back today and choose to stay on the mountain, I am afraid that the mountain will be too deserted.

Contrary to Yuan Tiangang, his Uncle Gong pulled down his face: "What to do on the mountain, Chinese New Year's Eve, how can you not spend it at home." Go back, all go back. The words are stereotyped, but there is also a sense of concern.

You can't let your family accompany a few stinky Taoist priests, right?

Wu Laohan rubbed his hands: "Gong Daochang, I know you are good to us, but Xiao Lao'er's life was saved by Yuan Daochang, and I want to accompany him during the New Year." "Yuan Daochang here refers to Yuan Shoucheng, and his name is Yuan Tiangang, who is also the Taoist of Tiangang.

His wife is not good at words, she only nods her head and says yes. During the war that year, if Yuan Shoucheng hadn't taken in their family, they would have starved to death.

Yuan Tiangang snorted when he saw this: "Forget it, forget it, Uncle Gong, it's better to have more people." What, it's okay for everyone to sit, why don't you think about something to play?"

There were a lot of entertainment measures in the Tang Dynasty, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wine orders, etc., and martial arts such as juju, pitching pots, color ball plays, etc., as well as what game plays, shooting overlays, and leaf plays, all of which were small gambling pleasure things, and they were not as boring as later generations imagined.

However, if you bring the Wu couple, it will get rid of a lot, after all, both of them are serious crop owners, and the more than ten acres of fertile land behind the Taoist temple have been reclaimed by these two families in recent years.

When everyone was pondering, Liu Jiannan suddenly said: "Daochang Zhang, how about we compete in martial arts?"

Zhang Xuanqing opened his mouth to refuse, what kind of joke, his martial arts were all learned from the other party, although he did not have the name of master and apprentice, but he had the reality of master and apprentice. The apprentice beats the master, is it possible to beat it?

Clinker, Li Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Okay!" The taciturn people all opened their mouths to say okay, and Yuan Tiangang even clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Liu's proposal is good, Brother Zhang Dao has been learning martial arts with you for so long, and I don't know how martial arts are, it just so happens that everyone is here today, so let's take a look together." ”

You're supposed to be watching a monkey...... Zhang Xuanqing was slandered in his heart, but somehow, he also had a feeling of eagerness to try.

Maybe you also want to try your martial arts, to what extent?

"Okay, Brother Zhang Dao, don't think about it, let's go. Without waiting for Zhang Xuanqing to speak, Yuan Tiangang had already pulled him out, and a group of people followed behind, even Uncle Gong.

There is a small gate behind the Taoist temple, and after going out, there are several acres of fertile land, and one of the places has been changed into a practice ground by Zhang Xuanqing and Liu Jiannan.

Not to mention the horse pile, the nine-palace pile, and the plum blossom pile, these were dismantled after the practice. Nowadays, in addition to eighteen kinds of weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds, there is also a high platform, a deep pit, two wooden stakes, and three wooden targets, all of which are things used by Zhang Xuanqing for training.

The group came to the center of the clearing, Yuan Tiangang and others stood on the periphery, and Zhang Xuanqing and Liu Jiannan walked between the two weapon racks.

The two weapon racks are about three zhang apart, and each weapon rack is complete with eighteen kinds of weapons.
