Chapter 14 Treading the snow and looking for plum blossoms
The next day, Lin Fengsheng was called up by Mei Ruoxue early and went up the back mountain together. The autumn is high and refreshing, the morning sun is bright, and the warmth sprinkled on the body is very comfortable, Lin Fengsheng didn't feel that he was open-minded, and said casually: "It's another year of autumn festival, and Ye Huahun in the south doesn't know." Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I don't want to be alive on this cow's shoulder. The wonders of nature's creations are truly unfathomable. ”
Mei Ruoxue smiled and said, "It's always been like this here, what's so strange, you readers just like to sigh indiscriminately." ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "Han Yuefu poem 'often afraid of the autumn festival, Kun Huanghua leaves decline' means that every spring goes to autumn, flowers and trees will wither and decline, but here is still full of interest, not bound by the season, isn't that very peculiar." ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "You say peculiar, it's peculiar, but according to this, what is written in the book may not be right." ”
Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "Maybe the poet has never been here, but the world is everywhere, and there is something missing." ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "Well, that's what I said. Cousin, what kind of kung fu do you want to learn?"
Lin Fengsheng said seriously: "Master, the disciple wants to learn a kung fu to defend himself and save his life." ”
Mei Ruoxue was amused and laughed, and said: "If you learn martial arts in the world, you can defend yourself and save your life, but it depends on whether you learn it with your heart." ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "That being the case, what kind of martial arts do you know, let's talk about it." ”
Although Mei Ruoxue had obtained most of her father's true inheritance, she didn't know where to start, she tilted her head sideways and pondered for a moment, and said: "There are many sects in the martial arts, and the number of martial artists is also different, so I can't say clearly. My family's martial arts alone are already very complicated. ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "That also says that the martial arts in the world are complicated, and a person can't learn it even if he is well-read and memorized." Skills are not expensive, and it is enough to learn one well. If you can't chew too much, it's useless. ”
Mei Ruoxue saw that he didn't know any martial arts, but when he talked about martial arts, he had quite an opinion, and said happily: "Yes, yes, Daddy said the same." Our Mei family's martial arts mainly have four kinds of internal skills, swordsmanship, palm skills, and light skills, which one do you want to learn?"
Lin Fengsheng said: "The sword technique and palm technique must be some methods that teach people how to hurt people and kill the enemy, they are too domineering and detrimental to yin morality, I don't learn them." What is internal strength, and how does light power give birth to practice?" Then he remembered that Yu Sanbai carved stone words on the dumb spring and jumped like flying on the bird road of Tibetan horses, and said in his heart: "The third uncle said that he relied on some internal strength, and his wrist strength was greater than that of Wang Xizhi. ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "Martial arts has a breath of internal practice in the clouds, and external training of muscles and bones, and this internal practice is internal strength." It is through breathing and exhaling, accumulating endogenous qi, static is stored in the dantian qi sea, and moving is up to the limbs and hundreds of remains, endlessly, for one's own use. Now that there is a foundation in internal strength, it is much easier to learn martial arts tricks. ”
Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "You are so unlearned, this is called a matter of course, you should read more books on weekdays." You have said a lot of tirades, in addition to what this water is all about, but it is also reasonable, and it must be good. ”
Mei Ruoxue's face showed embarrassment, and she smiled embarrassedly: "You just like to make fun of others, I don't like to read since I was a child, and you don't know the way." These truths were all said by my father before, and where will I know the Tao myself. ”
Lin Fengsheng smiled dumbly, and said in his heart: "Yes, it must be that my uncle told her these martial arts principles before, and she memorized them when she couldn't understand them for a while." Otherwise, how could it be so concise and to the point, just being quiet is stored in the dantian qi sea, and moving is up to the limbs and bones, and she can't think of this sentence herself. ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "This internal strength can protect the body, and the hair can hurt the enemy, and practicing it can make the body light and healthy, and the ears and eyes are smart, which is really beneficial." Our family has two sets of swordsmanship, one is called 'Xiangxue Swordsmanship', and now I have learned it, and the other is called 'Plum Blossom Introduction', but I haven't learned it yet. My father said that I was too young, my skills were still shallow, and that my practice was harmful. It can be seen that the cultivation of internal strength has a great relationship with the level of martial arts. ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "That's natural, this is like writing with a pen, the same word, a three-year-old child writes crookedly, not good at all, if a calligrapher writes it, it will be beautiful." The reason for this is the difference in pen power. If a person wants to write calligraphy well, it is not an overnight achievement, and it always needs to be practiced slowly. ”
Mei Ruoxue smiled: "Well, don't say it, it's quite reasonable." My writing is very ugly, and it must be a lack of pen power. ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "What is your family's light work?" Mei Ruoxue said: "My family's light skill is a set of footwork, called stepping on the snow to find plum steps." ”
Lin Fengsheng groaned slightly, and said happily: "Wang Anshi plum blossom poetry cloud 'a few plums in the corner, Ling Han opened alone, I know that it is not snow, for there is a dark fragrance', plum blossoms Ling Feng is proud of the snow, not competing for warm spring, has always been liked by me, and is really an out-and-out gentleman among the flowers." ”
Mei Ruoxue said with a happy face: "There is also an old plum tree at the gate of my house, and it looks good when it blooms, but it's a pity that all of them are water plums, and the flowers are too monotonous, and they are not as good as the golden plums in your house." Lin Fengsheng said: "The plum blossoms bloom like snow in the water, and the jade is clear and icy, isn't that excellent." When Mei Ruoxue heard him say this, she said in her heart: "My name is Ruoxue, which means like white snow, and my cousin praises Xue as if he praised me." I was very happy and nodded in agreement.
Lin Fengsheng said again: "Treading the snow to find plums, the dark fragrance is refreshing, but it is also comfortable." There is such an elegant name in martial arts, which is very much in line with my heart. ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "Most of this name was also thought up by the ancestors of our Mei family, it is best if you like it, I was worried at first that you were just casually perfunctory to my mother." ”
Lin Fengsheng said in his heart: "I have learned the internal strength and this snow to find plum steps is also fun, and when I meet the king of the king, I will use a pen like the third uncle to carve a big bad word on his head, if he wants to beat me, I will make the light work escape." Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Ha. Thinking of the ridiculousness, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although Mei Ruoxue felt inexplicable, she was also happy when she saw him happy.
Lin Fengsheng said: "My aunt treats me like this, how could I lie to her, you quickly taught me how to step on the snow and find plum steps, I will go to show my aunt, my aunt will be happy." Thinking that after learning this martial art, he could not only please his aunt, but also have a good time with that Wang Youzhen, and couldn't help but dance. Suddenly, he asked again: "Then can my uncle teach you this light skill of treading snow and looking for plums?"
Mei Ruoxue said proudly: "Nature has taught it, you see." I saw her figure flicker, first took a step in the diagonal stab of her right foot, took the right foot as the axis, turned her body in half a circle, folded her left foot to the south, and went around Lin Fengsheng's back in just one step. Lin Fengsheng turned around and looked again, Mei Ruoxue's footsteps changed, and she had turned behind him again.
Several times like this, Lin Fengsheng was already dizzy, Mei Ruoxue's feet did not stop, every step was light and fast, and the posture was also wonderful, and she walked around Lin Fengsheng three times, and then the whole set of footwork was demonstrated. It can be described as a rule of impermanence and difficult behavior.
Mei Ruoxue gathered her momentum and stood still, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "Cousin, can you see clearly?"
Lin Fengsheng shook his head and said angrily: "You walk so fast, how can I see it clearly, I am dazzled." ”
Mei Ruoxue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll teach you." He pulled out his long sword, flew down a bamboo branch, held it in his hand and swept it, and the bamboo branches flew away one after another, revealing a clear space. He drew an oblique footprint on the ground with the tip of his sword, and beckoned to Lin Fengsheng: "Cousin, come and see, this first step should be taken like this." Then he drew a footprint next to him and said, "Take the first step, and don't follow the other foot, but turn around and walk diagonally to the back." ”
Lin Fengsheng took two steps as he said, and his feet barely touched the footprints on the ground, but he felt a little awkward, separated by a few feet in the middle, and only his hip bone was faintly painful.
The tip of Mei Ruoxue's sword swam quickly like a spirit snake, drawing forty or fifty footprints in a row, which were connected by arrows, although it was quite complicated, but the steps were clearly recognizable. Mei Ruoxue said: "You follow the direction pointed by the arrow, and you must remember the direction of each step. ”
