"You really practice the authentic Baguamen Kungfu. The footwork is really stable. Most people don't have six or seven years of kung fu to practice such a steady footwork." , Seeing him, he jumped up quickly, already having a bottom in his heart.
"Okay, okay, Wang Chao, why do you strike at the first meeting?" Zhu Jia said to Wang Chao in a very reproachful tone. The old and the young will try their hands as soon as they meet, as if there is no one else. She can't blame the old man, she can only speak like this to Wang Chao.
"Hahahaha." Hearing Zhu Jia's tone, the old man let out a hearty laugh, "You really brought a studious young man to me, I haven't seen a young man who has practiced Baguazhang so well in many years. .Okay, there is no need to try your hand, let's go in and talk."
Wang Chao didn't speak, just nodded silently, his thoughts were spinning, and he was clearing up the results of the trial just now: "This old man's martial arts are really strong, and the turning palm he threw me just now was so clever that it was far ahead of me. In fact, it’s because he’s getting old and physically exhausted, far from his peak state in his prime.”
"Fist is afraid of being young." For a person who devotes himself to martial arts, the peak period of his life is twenty, thirty, forty, and fifty. If a person is over sixty years old, no matter who you are, It is inevitable that due to the influence of age, the hands and feet will become inflexible, and various organs of the body will begin to fail. After the peak, it will slowly go downhill. At the age of ninety, the old man is still able to fight like this. It is really because his kung fu has been practiced to the extreme.
This is still a person who practices inner martial arts and can hold his breath. If you are practicing foreign martial arts, you can use foreign muay thai masters, kick coconut trees with your feet, put sandbags on your elbows every day, steel plates and other harsh training, so that your whole body will be hard and powerful. But this kind of damage to the body is also unimaginably great, even if it is rubbed with potion, it cannot be recovered. It is a three-point poison of medicine. No matter what kind of medicine it is, the last part of the medicine will be excreted through the kidneys. Over time, the medicine will accumulate and damage the kidneys.
Therefore, the peak of these people is generally in their twenties, and after a few short years, they will be severely exhausted, and in the end they will even be short-lived. Unlike the internal kung fu that can maintain one's energy, the peak almost runs through a person's golden age.
But Wang Chao knew in his heart that although the old man's muscles, bones and physical strength were exhausted due to the years, this was also compared to his peak period in his prime. For ordinary people and ordinary Lianjiazi, his strength is still very powerful and terrifying.
"I have suffered from not communicating with real masters. The old man in front of me used to be the guard of the chairman and the prime minister, and he was a person who fought on the battlefield. The rich combat experience must be incredible. I have to ask him for some advice. The way to deal with the siege. To avoid being blocked and hacked again, so that you are caught off guard."
The three of them passed the guards in front of the door and entered the compound of the military region.
As soon as he entered the compound, Wang Chao took a little look at the surrounding environment. The surrounding houses were not tall, and there was a sense of simplicity everywhere. The inside of the compound was very wide and deep, with a few red-walled buildings standing in the shade. among the woods.
The room where the old man lives is a house on the third floor, with three bedrooms and one living room. After entering the house, the inside is very tidy, except for a few pieces of old wooden furniture, the most are rows of books, both old and new. Rows are neatly stacked on the bookshelves.
"Young man, sit down?" The three of them entered the room, the old man signaled Wang Chao to sit down, Zhu Jia immediately went to make tea obediently.
"En." Wang Chao agreed without saying anything unnecessary.
"We have tested your kung fu just now, and you practiced well. But I also want to see you practice a complete set of Baguazhang for me? I don't know if it is feasible?" The old man spoke very politely, He doesn't pretend to be a senior at all.
"Of course." Wang Chao got up and stood up, walked to the center of the spacious living room, opened his posture, and slowly practiced, from changing palms with both hands, to changing palms alone, to rubbing body palms, rubbing body palms, and gestures Push, squeeze, press, knead. The rotation and stepping of the movement did not stagnate at all, and they were all continuous like gurgling water, showing the standard boxing corrected by the guidance of a famous teacher.
After practicing a set of Baguazhang, Wang Chao raised his hands to the center of his eyebrows, pressed his abdomen down, breathed out loudly, the breath reverberated in the chest cavity, rushed out of the throat, and issued a very crisp long tongue.
"Also ask the seniors to give pointers."
The old man squinted his eyes for a while, and after a while, he said with emotion: "Your master is a remarkable person, his fists are so upright, and there is nothing missing, I don't see any inconsistencies in the boxing." This is very valuable. You have comprehended the essence of Bagua boxing, but the kung fu is not pure enough now. It must be because the training time is too short. As for the training method, I can no longer give you any advice."
Hearing what the visitor said, Wang Chao remembered that when he was practicing a year ago, Tang Zichen was watching him intently, and if there was anything wrong, he would help to correct it.
The reason why he is now playing is so standard, every movement, from the head, to the eyes, to the neck, spine, arms, fingers, waist and abdomen, and footwork are all in place. This is Tang Zichen who has spent a lot of time training. out of the results.
Hearing that the old man said that he could no longer guide him in practice, Wang Chao had no doubts.
If the old man said that he had practiced wrongly and helped to correct his boxing posture, then Wang Chao would have to doubt the other party's vision and motivation. Questioning Wang Chao's boxing training method was tantamount to questioning Tang Zichen's teaching.
"Then how can we practice from bright energy to dark energy?" Wang Chao asked.
"This is an inevitable stage that needs time to accumulate slowly, and the gong will become natural. Don't be anxious, take your time. From bright energy to dark energy, it is a qualitative leap in boxing. People who practice boxing will spend their whole life , I can’t find such a point. Dark energy is the result of the inner three-in-one operation of heart and mind, mind and energy, and energy and strength. Heart and mind are the source of dark energy, so you must first practice dark energy. Practice your will and understand your heart." The old man was thinking while speaking, as if he was thinking about how to express the meaning more concisely and clearly.
"I know the principle of internal sanhe, and I also know what it is about dark energy. But how to practice will and clear mind, I hope to get a little inspiration from your original experience." Wang Chao's tone was calm and powerful .
"How to practice mind and mind?... My experience..." The old man narrowed his eyes again, remembering in a trance, and he didn't know which era his thoughts drifted to.
The whole room was quiet, Wang Chao didn't speak, and Zhu Jia didn't seem interested in their conversation after making tea, so she went to another room and read a book.
"Grandpa Li and Wang Chao are indeed from the same family. As soon as they met, they didn't even ask their names, and they started talking speculatively." Zhu Jia casually flipped through the dazzling array of books, thinking to himself: "I don't know. How long does it take for the old and the young to chat, not a whole night. Miss Ben doesn’t want to go crazy with them, it’s almost ten o’clock in the evening, so I’d better leave and come back tomorrow.”
Thinking of this, Zhu Jia came out: "Grandpa Li, we are leaving, you should rest early, we will come to see you tomorrow. Wang Chao, let's go. Don't disturb Grandpa Li's rest."
"You go first." Wang Chao frowned slightly, and then said to Zhu Jia.
"You..." Zhu Jia couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, not knowing what to say next.
The conversation between the two also interrupted the old man's train of thought. With a flash of his eyes, he woke up from his contemplation, and then he frowned deeply, as if he felt unhappy when his train of thought was interrupted.
"When people get old, they just can't keep up with their thoughts. I just sorted out a clue, and I can't connect to it after this interruption, so I don't know what to say." Stretched out his hands, rubbed his temples, The old man looked a little sad.
After Zhu Jia heard this, she immediately understood the meaning. The old man blamed her for interrupting her train of thought, and her face flushed immediately. It seemed very embarrassing.
Afterwards, the old man felt that what he was talking to himself was inappropriate, and he laughed heartily again. "Grandpa's words just now were too much. Don't take it to heart. I don't mean to blame you. But we are an old man and a little man. If you are not interested in what you are talking about, you must be bored. Let's go first and come to see grandpa tomorrow. I."
Zhu Jia was amused by the old man's witty words, and then nodded, "Then, Grandpa Li, I'll be leaving first. Wang Chao, you guys talk, and when you're done talking, call me."
Knowing that Zhu Jia must have a place to live in Beijing, Wang Chao didn't need to worry, so he nodded.
After Zhu Jia left, the old man fell into deep thought again. After thinking for a long time, he opened his eyelids and said to Wang Chao in embarrassment: "I don't know how to explain it clearly to you. The taste of words. It may be that people are really old, and they can’t express their thoughts clearly. After a night’s rest, my brain will turn faster every morning. You should stay here with me, lest I suddenly have a flash of inspiration , think of something, but you are not here, and you will forget it after a long time."
"That's good." Wang Chao responded, and under the arrangement of the old man, he went to another room to rest.
The next day, Wang Chao got up early in the morning and went outside to practice boxing in the woods. As the sky gradually dawned, sparrows began to chirp on the treetops.
Wang Chao was just about to go back to the house to see if the old man was up. Suddenly, several cars came from the direction of the gate of the military area. These cars are very eye-catching. At the front is a pure black elongated car. Wang Chao recognizes the brand. It seems to be Rolls Royce, the top luxury car brand in the world.
Wang Chao of this brand of cars occasionally heard from Zhang Tong that the price of many models is tens of millions, and some special cars that are released in a limited number around the world are more expensive, and it seems that there are hundreds of millions.
In addition to this car, the cars that follow are also very luxurious, including Hummer, Lincoln, and Ferrari. Moreover, each model is different from those famous brands that Wang Chao has seen before, and it is obviously a more expensive high-end model.
Four cars drove over and slowly stopped in the car review below the corridor, and then a few people walked out of the Rolls-Royce in front, the leader of which was a middle-aged man with an imposing manner.
This middle-aged man exuded an aura of aloofness from every move he made. It was obvious that he held great power in his hands and often issued orders to develop a majestic aura.
Wang Chao compared this middle-aged man with Zhu Tianliang, secretary of the municipal party committee, and found that Zhu Tianliang was in front of him, and the movements and aura of the two were nothing short of insignificant.
"The status of this person is far above Zhu Tianliang."
Wang Chao has experience in viewing people and immediately came to such a conclusion.
Afterwards, a high-spirited young girl got out of the Hummer next to her. She was very elegantly dressed. Wang Chao had also met many wealthy girls with big clients in Zhang Tong's company, but none of them had the temperament of this young girl.
At the same time, several young men and women got off the Lincoln and Ferrari cars. They are all very expensive.
This group of people filled Wang Chao's head with words like "rich family" and "noble family".
This group of people seemed to be a family. After getting off the car, accompanied by several people in black suits and bodyguards, they carried some things and walked into the stairs.
After a while, Wang also walked in.
"This is the compound of the military region, and the people living in it are all veterans. This group of people may have come to see the elderly." Wang Chao was not surprised that this group of people appeared here.
Just as Wang Chao reached the stairs, suddenly an old man roared angrily from the second floor.
"Get out, get out, you bastards, who wants you to come and see!" Then, there was a loud bang, as if something had been thrown out of the window and onto the ground in front of the building.
"The old man is in a daze, Mom and Dad, I told you not to come, you guys are coming. How are you doing now!" A girl's voice screamed.
"Yes, yes, you bastard!" A young man cursed in a low voice.
The sound of footsteps came, and Wang Chao saw the arrogant family walking down the stairs angrily, and those young men and women even cursed.
Wang Chao turned sideways to let these people go down, and saw them get in the car and leave the gate of the military area in a hurry.
"These rich and nobles see the old man suffer?" Wang Chao thought in his heart, but he didn't care. He went up to the third floor and returned to Mr. Li's house.
Just after he pushed open the half-covered door, as soon as he walked in, Wang Chao found Mr. Li chatting excitedly with an old man in plain military uniform in the living room.
"Brother Li, you said that I used to follow the chairman and the prime minister, fought hard and bloody to conquer this country, and finally overthrew the bureaucrats and landlords who oppressed and exploited the people. Unexpectedly, my own descendants have become bureaucratic landlords now. , riding on the heads of the people to act as a domineering, corrupt beyond appearance, even worse than those people... "
"Brother Li, tell me, if things go on like this, after I die, how will I face those comrades who died. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." What face do you have to go to see the chairman, go to see the prime minister!"
Having said that, the old man couldn't go on talking any more, and he burst into tears, crying like a child.
Wang Chao suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
He thought of many deeds of that era in the last century.
Such a person, such a spirit.
Many people like old people gather together. Thousands of spirits gather together like this. What else can be overcome
"Look for strength in being moved..." Tang Zichen's words flashed in Wang Chao's mind: "Practice mind, clear heart..."
After Mr. Li saw off the old man in military uniform, he saw Wang Chao at the door, heard Wang Chao muttering to himself, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
"You're right. It means being moved. Only when you are moved can you have strength, practice your mind, and understand your heart. Only then can you truly achieve inner sanhe. What you lack now is the touch that can make you grow. My boxing is in the I made great achievements on the Long March. I can’t teach you anything, but I can let you share my touch, and how much you can gain from it in the future depends on your own fate.”
"Come with me." Mr. Li brought Wang Chao to his study, opened a cabinet, and took out a bright yellow suona from it.
A red ribbon is tied on the handle of the suona.
Beep, beep! Mr. Li gathered his breath, tried the suona twice, and made a loud and clear voice.
Wang Chao didn't speak, just listened quietly and looked at the old man.
The old man's chest suddenly swelled, and the clothes on his body seemed to be entangled with many pythons. It was clearly a situation where the breath was transported to the extreme.
A loud music came out from the suona.
Wang Chao heard that this vague tune was a passionate folk song. The sound came out from the suona, and every breath of the tone was exhaled, and a long straight arrow was drawn out.
The old man's clothes were slammed and made a crackling sound. Pay attention to the movement of the old man blowing breath, and listen to the loud and clear suona sound. Wang Chao's thoughts gradually surged. In the end, he simply closed his eyes, but he still clearly outlined every breath of the old man playing the suona in his mind.
After a long time, the last note disappeared into the air. Wang Chao woke up, but saw the old man sitting on the table tiredly, waving to himself.
"My boxing skills and touch are all performed in this song "Ten Red Army". You can go."
Wang Chao said: "I know your touch and your boxing skills. It is indeed an invincible force." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the old man's house.
