Feeling that Tang Zichen's words were very useful, Wang Chao would stand on horseback every morning and evening, with his toes digging on the ground, heaving and falling, and then looking out like climbing a height and looking into the distance.
Sure enough, I could only stand for more than ten minutes before, but after squatting for a day or two, I was able to hold on for thirty minutes without exertion.
Moreover, Wang Chao felt that his toes, calves, and waist became more and more flexible.
After standing up every night, I slept very soundly, almost until dawn.
After five or six days, Wang Chao continued to squat regularly in the morning and evening, and when he was in class, he always lifted his hips and sat on the seat. When he was writing, his body also imitated Tang Zichen's wave-like movement. ups and downs.
Fortunately, Wang Chao usually has mediocre grades and always sits in the back few rows. And its ups and downs are very slight, and there is no teacher to take care of him.
Especially Wang Chao was taciturn and introverted. After more than a year in high school, most of the students in his class couldn't name them, and he didn't have any close friends.
But in this way, he fell into a pure state, living in his own world every day.
After ten days of ups and downs like this, Wang Chao was able to miss a class for forty-five minutes.
After ten minutes between classes, Wang Chao took a break. As soon as I started class, I started to squat up and down. After such a day, even self-study in the morning and evening, Wang Chao squatted for ten hours.
In the last few days, Wang Chao seemed to be addicted to drugs. Even when he was walking, he lifted his feet and picked his five fingers first, and then his body undulated, walking forward step by step.
Such a posture is a bit weird. People often point and point at the school, but Wang Chao ignores it.
Time flies, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Wang Chao feels that his legs and waist are full of energy.
In front of the school was a flag-raising platform that was as high as his neck. Wang Chao didn't need to run up, but jumped up and down suddenly.
When it came time to meet Tang Zichen, Wang Chao still got up early in the morning and hurried to the old place in the park before dawn.
Tang Zichen was already waiting there. Still in white sportswear, with a friendly expression.
Seeing Wang Chao running over, Tang Zichen's eyes seemed to light up.
"I didn't expect you to have such an effect in half a month. The walking posture is already fascinated."
When Wang Chao heard this, he just smirked: "What is Sister Chen going to teach me today?"
"Well. You are a pragmatic person. No matter what you are learning, you have to be fascinated in order to learn the effect. It seems that you are qualified to learn my martial arts." Tang Zichen looked at Wang Chao, as if he had found a good piece uncut jade.
"Come on, let's talk first." Tang Zichen sat down on a stone bench, "Do you know what Chinese martial arts are?"
Wang Chao shook his head.
"In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the revolutionaries led by Sun Yat-sen assassinated high-ranking officials and even princes of the Qing Dynasty many times. Most of them relied on the efforts of people in the martial arts. Later, when the Republic of China was established, the Japanese invaded China. To promote martial arts, the government established the Central Martial Arts Center, which used various martial arts, such as Xingyi, Taiji, Bagua, Tongbei, Praying Mantis, Baji, poking feet, Hongquan, iron wire, split hanging, kicking legs, wrestling Many other martial arts are collectively called Guoshu."
"Strong country, strong species." Wang Chao chewed these four words carefully, and the history of that era appeared in his heart.
"In those days, talents came out in large numbers. Now, after more than a hundred years, they are all scarce." Tang Zichen suddenly lost interest while talking, "Come on, I will teach you a practical trick today."
"Catch me from behind." Tang Zichen gestured to Wang Chao, telling Wang Chao to grab his shoulder from behind.
Seeing that Tang Zichen was turned away from him, Wang Chao immediately grabbed Tang Zichen's shoulder as he said. Tang Zichen turned around lightly, and hit Wang Chao's chest with the tip of his right elbow like a gun.
This is an acting move. Tang Zichen moved very slowly, but Wang Chao had time to react. He instinctively pushed his hands forward, blocking Tang Zichen's elbow.
Who knows, as soon as Wang Chao touched his elbow, Tang Zichen's forearm flicked downward like a whip, and his palm directly moved towards Wang Chao's crotch.
This was fast and urgent, and the power change suddenly bounced. Before Wang Chao could react, Tang Zichen's palm had already reached the lower yin.
Wang Chao was startled, only felt a chill rising from the tailbone to the back of the head, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
"Turn around, elbow, flirt." Tang Zichen grasped his strength very well, retracting his palm as soon as he touched it. Didn't touch the pants.
Wang Chao's face was strange, and he muttered: "Sister Chen, what is the name of this move?"
Tang Zichen smiled brightly: "This move is called 'Liu Yin Palm' in the Bagua Gate, 'Zhuanhuan Bengquan' in the Xingyi Gate, and 'Leaving Body Beat' in the Taiji Gate."
With that said, Tang Zichen explained the gist of this move.
"Boxing all evolved from big guns. This move seems to be a simple turn around and throw the arm out. In fact, it needs to be double-strength. The elbow strike is like a spear, waiting for others to block it. When it was time, the arm swung down and hit the crotch."
"The ancient generals used their spears on the battlefield, and when they were blocked by others, the spear head bounced back, and they could knock down the enemy's weapons. Because the barrel of the gun is flexible. When you use this move, you must hold it The meaning of playing big guns is inside."
"Look how hard I am!"
Tang Zichen practiced again. After the elbow hit, he swung his forearm down, and the clothes were brought out with a crisp sound, like a whip whipping in the air.
"At the end, with a slap in the face, the arm has to throw out this brittle strength, and this is considered to be the best in the practice. This is also the strength of throwing the stele in Tongbeimen."
"Okay, go back and practice this trick. After three days, I will teach you another one." After Tang Zichen finished teaching, he still left.
For three days in a row, Wang Chao was thinking about this "Yin palm" carefully. However, no matter how he hit, he couldn't imitate Tang Zichen's whip cracking through the air with such crispness.
After the third day, Wang Chao posed this question to Tang Zichen.
After Tang Zichen heard this, he laughed loudly: "You little idiot, you just started, and you just want to use crispness, that's fine. There are three levels of strength in martial arts, bright strength, dark strength, and transformation strength. The peak of bright strength is this Crisp sound, if you practice crisp sound, you are equivalent to a master of martial arts. With your current physical strength, it is far from enough, and you have only taken the first step in the long march of thousands of miles."
"Little idiot, don't talk about this, I will teach you another trick today."
The trick Tang Zichen taught today is to squat down suddenly, grasp the crotch with his left hand, put his right hand behind his crotch, and press his palm on the ground.
"This hand grasping the crotch and squatting is the ultimate move in Taijimen, and it is also a variation of the yin palm in the Baguamen, the 'monkey stealing peaches' in the twelve forms of Xingyi."
In the past few days, Wang Chao has learned two tricks, both of which are grabbing the crotch and slapping down viciously, "Who is my sister?"
"Little idiot, watch out. Once you grab it, if he retreats to protect his crotch, you will immediately grab the sand with your hand on the ground and sprinkle it on the enemy's face. At that time, Yang Luchan, the Tai Chi master, squatted down to catch the bird with his left hand, and grabbed the bird with his right hand. Grabbing the sand makes the face 'I don't know how many masters I have defeated."
Yang Luchan and Wang Chao know that a few years ago, there was a TV show starring Wu Jing as the Taiji Grandmaster. The protagonist Yang Yuqian was based on Yang Luchan, the number one master of Taijimen in the late Qing Dynasty. He was also the most legendary senior in the history of Chinese martial arts. .
"Grassing sparrows, catching sand... this..." Wang Chao suddenly thought, "The ground is full of cement, so what if there is no sand!"
"Little idiot, the monkey squatted down with its tail raised up to support the ground. Humans don't have a tail. This hand is used as a tail. The animal's tail keeps balance. When using this trick, the hand should also keep the body balanced. People squatted on the ground and grabbed the crotch and missed it, and they kicked you, and you jumped out with your hands.”
"The monkey squats down and uses its tail to balance its force. If it fails to catch a bird, it can also grab sand. Even if there is no sand to grab, it can also guard against other people's kicks. This trick is really insidious." Wang Chao felt that Taijiquan was in his mind. image is shattered.
"Stupid boy, the way of fighting is not a performance, nor is it a practice. The way of fighting is to pay attention to killing with one blow. Attacking the weak parts of the human body! In a life-and-death fight, there is no need to pay attention to insidiousness or not."
Tang Zichen stood up: "Okay, I'll tell you today that there are three forms of martial arts, one is fighting, one is practicing, and the other is performance. Don't look at Tai Chi practitioners, who are slow and flowing, then It's all about performances, not even the practice, the real Tai Chi style, very few people know it."
"Playing style, training style, and performance... are there so many divisions?" Wang Chao felt that his sister's words could bring him into a new field every time.
"Tai Chi, it looks gentle, and it pays attention to four or two strokes, but it is actually just superficial. Tai Chi's fighting style is the most vigorous. This strong force can be found from the word 'chui'. You see, the airs of Tai Chi,' Move to stop and beat''leave your body and beat'."
Tang Zichen made two movements, both of which were violent shakes, and the whole arm made a crackling sound, as if the air was pumped.
When Wang Chao saw it, he was terrified and thought: Is it worth hitting someone this time
"In the ancient times, the hammers were all fierce men. Look at Li Yuanba, the first hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, who beat the world with two sledgehammers. When the Tai Chi predecessors created boxing, they borrowed the power and prestige of the novel, and naturally used the most stalwart The strength is named 'Chui'."
"Cheng Tinghua, a famous gossip master, said that practicing Bagua palm is like pushing a mountain, and beating people is like whipping a whip. Shang Yunxiang, a master of Xingyi, said that you should use less force when practicing and less force when practicing. It is all about fighting and practicing. The difference between the palm of the yin and the monkey stealing the peach that I taught you these days are both fighting methods and fighting skills, and cannot be used to increase stamina or strength."
"What is force and what is strength?" Wang Chao asked.
"Force is inertia, and it explodes suddenly." Tang Zichen made another gesture, slapping his arms out of thin air, "When you exert force, you must be fast, fierce, and fast."
"Kindness means tensing the muscles and moving slowly." As he spoke, Tang Zichen gestured again, as if pushing a mill and squeezing water from a sponge. "When exerting strength, be slow, calm, and steady."
"Fast, fierce, quick...slow, deep, steady..." Wang Chao comprehended these six words carefully, and realized the difference between exertion and strength.
After Tang Zichen finished making gestures, he sat down and said, "Come on, practice monkey picking peaches for three days, and when you're ready, I'll teach you something new."
Wang Chao nodded, and practiced secretly for another three days. At night, he hid in a place where no one was around, and practiced "Putting the Yin Palm" and "Monkey Stealing Peach" repeatedly.
Especially "Monkey Stealing Peach", this trick is very difficult when squatting, and the muscles in the legs are very painful.
However, Wang Chao has been standing in the horse stance for half a month, and the strength and flexibility of the muscles of the waist and legs, as well as the soles and toes of the feet have greatly increased. When practicing the posture of monkey stealing peaches, I squatted down thousands of times, and finally became proficient to the extreme.
Three days later, Wang Chao saw Tang Zichen in the park again.
