Romance of Dragons and Snakes

Chapter 5: Changes in the temples

Views:

Wang Chao was obsessed with the "three-body pose" taught by Tang Zichen all day long, and he put all his energy on his spine day and night, pushing from the beginning to the end, and then groping from the tail to the head.

At the beginning, even though Tang Zichen helped him feel every inch of the spine that day, how to move, how to slightly pull the whole body, Wang Chao also listened very carefully, but it fell into his own daily practice, and Wang Chao felt it. It is very difficult.

Wang Chao first stood for three or four days, and found that the center of gravity could not fall on his tailbone, so naturally he couldn't stand until the hairs on his body exploded.

The spine is no more than the hands and feet, and can be controlled at will.

After standing for a few days, Wang Chao still couldn't grasp the main point. But he was not discouraged, but tried hard to recall every movement Tang Zichen taught him that day.

Wang Chao was really obsessed with it, so much so that every day when he was in class, he always had to shake his back unconsciously. Make the chair rattle.

"Wang Chao! You are going to die. What strange moves do you do in class every day?" Until one day, angry curses came from behind Wang Chao.

Wang Chao looked back, only to find a girl with big eyes, a layer of resentment faintly covering her delicate face.

"What's the name of this classmate?" Wang Chao tried hard to remember the name of the girl sitting behind him. After recalling for a long time, he only recalled that the classmate's surname was Cao, and he seemed to be a class leader. But the full name is hard to pronounce.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wang Chao didn't want to cause trouble. Apologize immediately.

Seeing Wang Chao apologize, the girl's resentment disappeared, "The final exam is coming soon, you don't study all day, this exam is the joint exam of the ten schools in our city, the total score ranking of each school and each class, I will do it." As the class monitor and study committee member, I want to tell you that you can't affect the overall grades. Pull our class back."

"Okay, okay..." Hearing the girl's words, there was a taste of superiority, which made Wang Chao feel very uncomfortable, but Wang Chao is usually used to it. He just nodded repeatedly and stopped moving his body, but he thought about it in his heart What Tang Zichen said: "Will and Qi are in harmony", "Qi and strength are in harmony".

"Learning can't change my fate, but the martial arts that Sister Chen taught me may change my fate."

Wang Chao is an ordinary person, and his family conditions are also poor, so he has developed a taciturn and introverted personality, but it does not mean that he is willing to be ordinary in his heart.

In fact, Wang Chao has a strong desire to stand out in his heart. However, reality suppressed this wish.

Ever since he happened to meet Tang Zichen, Wang Chao knew immediately that he had caught a rope that was unwilling to be lonely. The martial art door that Tang Zichen opened for him was thousands or hundreds of times more exciting than those in the school.

On the other hand, it was also because I was really not interested in learning, but the martial arts taught by Tang Zichen could resonate with Wang Chao's heart.

"The tailbone, the tailbone... the center of gravity, the center of gravity... three-body-one-style."

The time is gradually approaching the end of the period, half a month has passed, and there are only more than ten days before the winter vacation. It has been almost a month and a half since Wang Chao started learning martial arts from Tang Zichen.

Over the past one and a half months, Wang Chao has become more and more proficient in the "horse stance" practiced every day. Wang Chao really feels as if he is galloping a horse, and there is an extra horse in his body.

As for the two styles of "Lifting the Yin Palm" and "Monkey Stealing the Peach", I have also practiced it so that as long as my mind moves, I will immediately reach the point where I can see it.

However, even the simple three-body pose, Wang Chao still couldn't figure it out, and he still couldn't blow up his hair all the time.

Just ten days before the holiday, on Saturday, when the sun came out warmly, Wang Chao was sitting at home, watching over a coal stove to boil water, when he suddenly saw a stray cat walking lightly to the door of his house. Under the sun, curled up comfortably, dozed off with eyes closed.

Wang Chao's heart suddenly moved, and he moved up quietly. Suddenly, he stepped on the stray cat's tail fiercely.

Wow! Wow! The stray cat screamed, its whole body shrank into a ball, and its tail stood up. Wang Chao clearly saw that the cat's entire spine was bent into a bow, stretching like a snake in an instant.

The fur of the cat's whole body was like a hedgehog, its roots stood on end, and it jumped up, even jumping onto Wang Chao's face.

Wang Chao hurriedly used his hands to protect his face, but there were many blood marks on his arms.

Throwing the cat out quickly, Wang Chao was not only not angry, but was very happy in his heart, because he had just seen clearly the moment when the cat raised its tail, moved its spine, and exploded its fur. Combined with his own experience for so many days, Wang Chao felt It seems to understand a lot.

After the cat was thrown out, it fell to the ground, its limbs were silent, but its eyes were angry.

One person and one cat confront each other.

Wang Chao suddenly felt sorry, "Maomao, I'm sorry, but you've picked me so many times, it's even. But I'll do it first, so I'll give you a piece of fish to eat."

After all, Wang Chao cut a piece of cured fish from the kitchen and threw it to the cat.

The cat felt that Wang Chao was no longer hostile, looked suspiciously at the cured fish on the ground, smelled it, and finally couldn't help the temptation, and ate it in his mouth.

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, the sound of woo woo, woo woo came from the room.

It turned out that the water was boiling, and a large amount of water vapor rushed out from the mouth of the pot, making a sharp and piercing sound.

"I understand!" Wang Chao was startled, and immediately assumed a three-body posture. From head to neck, the spine was like a snake, and when it was pushed down slightly, the whole body was already slightly hot, and there was a trace of sweat.

Snapped! , the center of gravity of the whole body fell accurately on the tailbone, and Wang Chao felt as if he had an extra tail like the cat just now, and the invisible tail stood up.

The coccyx nerve was stimulated by this, and Wang Chao immediately felt a chill rising from the buttocks along the spine to the back of the head. Then the scalp tingled, goosebumps popped up all over the body, and the pores were tightly closed.

Immediately getting the gist, Wang Chao immediately practiced the three-body posture over and over again, and performed dozens of times in a row, only to feel that the sweaty heat in his body was always forced back when it was about to come out of the pores.

With such rushing and pressing, Wang Chao had an illusion, as if his body swelled up like an inflated ball.

In the end, Wang Chao felt that he was going to be burst, so he stopped suddenly, and like Tang Zichen, he lifted his hands up to the center of his eyebrows, and then pressed them down. Press the whole body's Qi into the lower abdomen.

When he pressed his hand to his abdomen, Wang Chao immediately felt that he was pumping air into a full tire, and he couldn't press it down.

Wang Chao's lower abdomen was distended and painful, and then the abdomen made a rumbling sound, and suddenly rolled upwards, rushing out.

Wang Chao's mouth was involuntarily punched open, and a long cry came out.

This howling sound is like the sound of boiling water rushing out of the spout.

At the same time, Wang Chao felt that there was still some heat along his face, rushing up his head, and then stopped on his temple.

Wang Chao felt that his temples seemed to be bulging.

"It's not easy." A kind of joy rose up, and Wang Chao felt boundless joy and a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Ignoring the boiling water still boiling on the stove, I hurriedly took a mirror to take a selfie.

"Huh? It doesn't seem like there is any obvious swelling, but the spirit is very good."

Wang Chao took a look, and found that his temples were not as obviously bulging as he felt just now, and he was a little disappointed in his heart.

"Forget it, I can't become a fat man by eating one bite. I had an obvious feeling just now, and it's not fake. It means that I practiced correctly."

Wang Chao tried to calm himself down.

Finally, he broke through the bottleneck. In the end, for more than ten days in a row, until the holiday, Wang Chao was immersed in joy. Of course, the repeated practice every day became more interesting.

However, this kind of obsession also brought bad results, that is, Wang Chao didn't know how to pass the final exams in the last three days. After the exam, I have no impression at all. Wang Chao felt that his exam was so bad that it couldn't be worse.

"Ah!"

On the first day after the holiday, Wang Chao looked in the mirror and felt that his temples were really slightly raised.

And the whole body is full of energy, and is full of energy at any time.

Such a change made Wang Chao's mood surprisingly good, his confidence swelled, and he swept away the dull, introverted, decadent and wretched before.

"The temples are bulging, and I will go to the provincial capital to meet Sister Chen in two days and ask her to teach me new things." Wang Chao made plans for his winter vacation in his mind, "What should I do these two days? It’s all puffed up, you can be regarded as a master of martial arts. You have to find someone to try it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be Jinyi Yexing?”

Wang Chao also read some old novels from the period of the Republic of China, and generally described the appearance of a certain master as "this person's temples are so swollen that they are as tall as an inch."

Although I am not as exaggerated as an inch tall now, there have been slight changes at least. Wang Chao feels to himself, as if...a little...has already stepped into the ranks of masters...

The slight changes in his temples, his full energy, made his confidence swell, and he was eager to find someone to fight and try his achievements in the past two months.
