Chapter 3: Apprenticeship (I)
Besides, Zhan Zheng drank porridge, ate a few big steamed buns and a plate of pickle strips, and his stomach was bottomed. Merry Zi and Zhan Zheng sat on the stone bench and chatted.
Zhan Zheng said: "Merry grandfather, the two things I want to do most now are that I want to go out and find my father. Merry Man gave a thumbs up and said, "You are still filial." But the problem is that you are still young and do not know that people in the world are sinister. If Grandpa Merry asks you to go out alone to look for your father and mother at this time, won't he be harming you? To put it mildly, if you go out at this time, you yourself are in danger and unpredictable, how can you find your father and mother?"
After hearing this, Zhan Zheng felt that what Merry Man said was very reasonable. Then he asked, "Grandpa Merry, what do you think I should do?" Merry replied: "Grandpa Merry has come to show you the way, child, you listen well, you can learn nothing." However, you can't afford not to learn martial arts. Because martial arts is something that you can live in. If you learn martial arts, martial arts are your own, and they will follow you for a lifetime. You said that you can't read and write in your life, it doesn't matter, even if you read more than 10,000 books, when you reach the age of your merry grandfather. The books you read will inevitably be forgotten. But martial arts is a very useful thing. After Zhan Zheng heard Merry Zi say this, he only felt his blood boiling, and hurriedly said: "Merry grandpa, I must learn martial arts, you can teach me quickly." ”
Merry Man said: "Grandpa Merry has the conditions to teach you martial arts. You have to worship me as a teacher. You have to recognize me as a grandfather" Zhan Zheng said: "Okay, I worship, I recognize." Merry Man was overjoyed and said: "Sheng'er, in the future, we will be master and apprentice in name, but in fact we are grandchildren and grandchildren." You're going to have to call me grandpa instead. ”
Then Zhan Zheng bowed to the Merry Son. Zhan Zheng said again: "Grandpa, when will you start teaching me martial arts" Merry smiled slightly after hearing this, reached out and gently stroked Zhan Zheng's forehead, and said: "Silly child, how can you be anxious to learn martial arts." Exquisite martial arts are not something that can be practiced overnight, the key is that you are willing to work hard and practice with dedication. In addition, when Grandpa Merry was walking the rivers and lakes when he was young, he once saw some people who usually practiced martial arts very well. But whenever they face each other, they often can't win against each other. If you want to be a merry grandfather. They were defeated by themselves, and they did not completely overcome the fear in their hearts. Merry Man waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not tell you so much, from today onwards, Grandpa Merry will teach you the martial arts on his body bit by bit." ”
Since then, Merry has taught what he has learned all his life to Zhan Zheng. Merry is the true teaching, and Zhan Zheng is also the true learning. Merry first taught Zhan Zheng the method of cultivating internal strength, how to sink the dantian, and how to run the internal force through the whole body. When Zhan Zheng practiced according to the internal strength method of the Merry Son, at first he only felt that there was a stream of air in his abdomen constantly expanding outward. Later, Zhan Zheng began to feel a stream of air in his chest constantly expanding outward. He only felt very uncomfortable, and Merry taught him how to regulate his breath, and he felt a lot more comfortable in his body. Merry also taught Zhan Zheng how to use internal force on light work, and how to draw internal force from the bottom up when performing light work.
On this day, Merry took Zhan Zheng to the outside of the Merry Cave. Merry Zi said to Zhan Zheng: "Zheng'er, today grandpa taught you a set of 'Merry Swordsmanship' This set of swordsmanship was created by grandpa, this set of swordsmanship has a total of three moves, namely 'Overlord Bow', 'Walking Clouds and Flowing Water', and 'Evil Tiger Pounce'" Merry Zi said again: "Although there are only three strokes in total, if you practice this set of swordsmanship well, there will be few people in the world who are your opponents." What is good martial arts, good martial arts are simple and practical martial arts. ”
In fact, what Merry Man said is true, and all sects of martial arts today record their martial arts on bamboo slips with a pen, and then compile them into a book for their daily practice. However, the disciples of the various sects are extremely complicated and difficult to read and practice on weekdays, so the martial arts progress is slow. In other words, most of the people who practice martial arts in the martial arts are mediocre people, and few are outstanding.
Merry Man's teaching of martial arts is about words and deeds. Merry first demonstrated the 'Overlord Upper Bow' move in the 'Merry Sword Technique'. Then he began to teach Zhan Zheng to practice the Merry Swordsmanship, and he was also explaining and pointing on the side, only to listen to the Merry Son's preaching: "This" Overlord on the bow "is the most powerful move in the Merry Swordsmanship, this move must grasp a word when making it, fast, if you want to practice the 'Overlord on the Bow' move, you must learn to use the sword, and the highest level of using the sword is to use the right length to pierce into the right position." Merry Zi said again: "Zhan Zheng has one more thing you have to remember. This is the case with any martial arts in the world, and if you are familiar with the body moves of a martial art, it only means that you have learned this martial art, and you have not learned it well, and you are still an apprentice. When you can use a martial art flexibly, can give full play to the power of this martial art, and can explain the subtleties of a martial art, it means that you have learned this martial art, and you are no longer an apprentice but a master. ”
In the next few days, Merry Rouge taught Zhan Zheng the remaining two tricks in Merry Swordsmanship, "Walking Clouds and Flowing Water" and "Evil Tiger Pounce on Food". That Zhan Zheng's comprehension of martial arts is extremely high, and he wrote down the key points of the three moves of the Merry Sword Technique one by one. If there is something unclear that can be grasped by the Merry Son, Zhan Zheng will be able to grasp it. Merry Zi saw that Zhan Zheng was a piece of material for practicing martial arts, and he would become a great weapon one day, and he was quite proud in his heart.
Zhan Zheng followed Merry Man to learn martial arts for more than a month, and on this day Merry Man was taking a nap, and Zhan Zheng had nothing to do in the Merry Cave, so he wanted to go out to breathe. Zhan Zheng walked out of the cave and climbed along the mountain path all the way to the top of the mountain. When Zhan Zheng climbed to the top of the mountain, it was really refreshing to look at, surrounded by rolling mountains. Mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains are stacked and green from afar, and the blue water is rippling from close. Look down at the standing stone like a tiger, and the lying stone like a knife. It's really a goddess who should be fine, and the world should be shocked!
Zhan Zheng climbed to the top of the mountain in one go, and he was already tired and sweating. After he sat on the Lying Cow Stone on the top of the mountain and rested, he suddenly got up to take a look at the back mountain. Thinking of this, Zhan Zheng began to run to the back mountain.
