Chapter 122: Five Elements and Four Elephants

Ling Lingqi said with a smile: "The introductory method of Xingyi Fist is definitely a three-body pose. Internal strength is also accumulated from the hard practice of the three-body pose. Xingyi boxing has three layers of truth, three steps of kung fu, and three practice methods. The three layers of truth are to practice refinement and transformation of qi, practice of qi and transform spirits, and practice of gods to return to emptiness. The three steps of kung fu are easy bones, practice to build its foundation, to strengthen its body, the bone body is as strong as iron and stone, and the form of temperament, majestic like Mount Tai. Easy tendons, practice to Teng its membrane, to grow its tendons, its strength vertical and horizontal contact, growth and infinity. Wash the marrow, practice it to clear the void inside, to relax its body, the image of the void in the inside, the use of spiritual energy, the round life without stagnation of the body movement, its light as a feather. The corresponding three practice methods and realms are bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy. At the beginning of Xi Xingyi Boxing, you must practice the Five Elements Boxing, and the first punch of the Five Elements Boxing is the split boxing. Although Xingyi boxing in the collapse of the fist is famous. But no one dared to underestimate the importance of the splitting fist. The shape of the splitting fist is similar to that of an axe, and it is strong with its forearm, and its strength is neat and grand. It is difficult for people to resist, so the method of splitting the fist can be called a must. There are few who really want it. You can watch me practice the Five Elements again. ”

Ling Lingqi walked the collapse fist first, and he was sure to go down, always half a foot away from his feet. Collapse fist to the end, and step by step regress and collapse back. After the collapse boxing, it is the cannon fist, the cannon fist does not go tiger jumping stream, but it is step by step, both hands occupy the middle line with the progress of the cannon split, the cannon fist is finished, the horizontal fist is finished, the action of the top split with both hands is wrapped with the strength of the ups and downs, the chain of progress, the middle does not stop, a string of hits.

Peony was fascinated by it, although this punching method was not the same as any kind of martial arts, but Ling Lingqi had the demeanor of a grandmaster.

After the splitting boxing, it is a drill boxing, but the drill boxing is different from the four flat and stable playing methods just now, it is still five or five steps and a cold chicken step, but there is a kind of drill taste such as a monkey through the hole, such as a swallow through the curtain, and the body walks on the side of the elbow, although the head is not biased, but there is a pound of small side of the hand throwing momentum, and every time the elbow is offered, the crotch has a meaning of closing up, and then it is pressed again, the lower hand is rushed, up and down to fight, drill and hit the chain.

After practicing again, Ling Lingqi smiled and said: "Peony, this Five Elements Fist is the foundation of Xingyi Fist, the shape of the splitting fist is like an axe is gold, and the main practice is the ups and downs of one qi." The shape of the drill fist is like flashing water, and the main practice is popular. The shape of the fist is like an arrow of wood, and the main practice is the expansion and contraction of one qi. The shape of the cannon fist is like the cannon fire, and the main practice is the opening and closing of the qi. The shape of the horizontal fist is similar to the reunion of the main practice of the earth!"

Peony nodded seriously and said, "Seventh brother, you can continue to talk! If there is something you don't understand, I'll ask again!"

Ling Lingqi smiled and said, "Okay." Let me first talk about the entry standard of national arts! This standard may not be reached by ordinary people in their lifetime, and it is not easy. This standard is also three contents, the first is to have the ability to practice refining and refining qi inside, the second is to have the strength to be strong outside, and the third is to have the ability to sit and lie down with the spirit of the dantian in the search for the zhang. In other words, if you feel these three signs one day, then you are truly at the beginning!"

Peony said in surprise: "These three standards are really difficult! Let's talk about the third one, you can pounce a few feet away at any time while sitting, unless you are a first-class master in the martial arts!"

Ling Lingqi said: "Yes, I will tell you about the concept and principle of the three-body form. The so-called three-body problem, also known as the three talents, originally refers to heaven, earth, and man. In the Xingyi Quan Sutra, it is said that the human body is also a small world, so there is also a three-body theory, which is the origin of the name of the three-body style of Xingyi Fist. It is also called the three-talent type or the eagle catching type. The so-called three-body problem also refers to the upper, middle and lower three plates, such as the head, upper limbs, and lower limbs, and also includes the upper and lower, inside and outside, and the whole body. ”

"At first, I felt bitter and difficult to endure when I practiced pile gong, but after a long time, I would have an endless aftertaste, and even the pile would be solid, and the inside and outside would be enriched, and the physique would be strengthened, and the strength of the six combinations would be integrated. With the strength of the pile, it can not move like a mountain, otherwise what fist is like a cannon and the dragon turns around, it can only be empty talk. Because the roots are not stubborn and weak, how can they let people go to control the enemy?"

"The practice and use of Xingyi Quan basically use the leg strength and step type used in the three-body pose. Walking is generally like a locust insect step. No matter how to kick the front foot, the stereotyped action is still inseparable from the three-body pose, which is because practice is used, practice makes perfect, and the skill is pure and self-refined, so the three-body pose is the pile gong of the unity of all the laws of Xingyi Boxing. The standing pile is to build the foundation, finalize, and find strength and strength. Therefore, it is far from enough to stand for a year or two piles, and it is necessary to stand constantly and continuously. If you don't stand on the pile for a long time, not only will your legs be weak and your body will be scattered, but also your posture will be deformed. ”

The more Ling Lingqi talked about it, the more excited he became, he had always buried these Xingyi boxing principles deep in his heart, because he hadn't talked about it at all for many years!

Peony listened and memorized at the same time, and of course this memory was all memorized! Although she could not really understand these truths now, when she practiced diligently, she would naturally have a deep understanding of these truths.

Ling Lingqi saw that Peony listened carefully, so he said happily: "Peony, as long as you practice the three-body pose I taught you diligently, you will know its benefits." Standing three-body pose is a basic introductory kung fu, from the leg trembling, air floating, becoming energetic, hands and feet hot, and then hand and knee joints squeak, not only others can touch with their hands, when the sound is loud, you can also hear the squeaking sound of fingers and knees. The three-body pile skill does have the effect of enhancing physical strength, pulling out tendons and bones, enriching the dantian, and running through the four ends. ”

Peony nodded and said: "Seventh brother, I will definitely practice this three-body pose every day in the future, but I said earlier that the three-body pose should be done with four elephants, chicken legs, dragon body, bear arms, and tiger hugging the head." But you don't know what these four images mean?"

Ling Lingqi laughed and said: "It's rare that you still remember the four elephants! The three-body form of Xingyi requires the four elephants, which is to resemble the special skills of various things, turn it into a specialty of their own martial arts, and use it skillfully, which is conducive to actual combat." Although the three-body pose is static, it is a pictogram that takes the meaning, and the movement in the stillness is to cultivate these stunts and build the foundation. First of all, the chicken leg is to learn the independent shape of the chicken, the stability and the clamping of the legs, and grind the shins. Xingyi boxing has the specialty of highlighting the front and back kicks. In this way, the practice is well-practiced, and the work is deep for a long time, and the actual effect will be multiplied when used in technical attacks. ”

"The dragon has the method of searching bones, the trend of three folds, and it is long enough to turn and move so that the body can be displayed, and it is more vigorous and powerful. When standing in triaana, the front knee is slightly raised forward and the back knee is buckled. In order to make the three urges of the upper and lower limbs straight, and to reach smoothly, and directly promote the waist strength, it is very important to master and use the body strength of the dragon's body. When the back knee is buckled, the upper body is twisted backwards, forming a trend that seems to be positive and non-positive, and oblique and non-oblique, so that the waist is twisted and the legs are smooth, and the hip force is urged forward. In this way, the crotch can be wrapped around the waist, the strength of the three urges will succeed, and the strength of the waist will be developed, and the dantian province will naturally multiply the power!"

"The bear arm is to learn the bear to have the characteristics of vertical strength and large vertical force. The three-body pose is used to pull the back and hang the shoulders to straighten the top of the head, lift the spirit, and launch the power of blood. At the same time, because of the hanging shoulders and stretching the arms, the force runs through the elbows and hands, so that the upper limbs are urged three times, and the strength is great. ”

"The tiger hugging his head is learning, the tiger has not pounced on the head and hugged early, and the skills of being ready to go. Learn to use this technique, highlight the elbow not from the ribs, the hand not centrifugal, and go out of the hole and into the hole close to the body! This is not only the essence of the technique, but also the way of playing. Although the connotation of this technique cannot be seen in the practice of three-body static pile work, it is the technique of holding the head of the tiger that is used in the process of bending the forearm as soon as the pile is held, the elbow is not separated from the ribs, the hand is not centrifuged, and the hand is passed through the heart and mouth from the chin. ”
