Romance of Dragons and Snakes

Chapter 79: Refining the day and the moon to keep in good health

Whoa! Wang Chao rested his five fingers on the big ball of lead and mercury, and lifted it upwards violently. hum! The lead-mercury ball made a dull sound, and only trembled in the stone trough, but did not jump up following Wang Chao's fingers.

This lead-mercury ball is bigger than a basketball, weighs more than 360 kilograms, and its surface is smooth and smooth, so it won't be stressed. To catch him in one go, it takes incredible finger power to do it.

Now Wang Chao's strength has reached a thousand catties. If he uses the strength of his hands, he can easily pick up this big ball and turn it around.

But if you want to lift it up with your fingers, it is infinitely more difficult than picking it up.

Even if it is a big basketball that can be grasped with one hand and five fingers, ordinary people may not be able to get it halfway. What's more, this lead-mercury ball, which is larger than a basketball, has a smooth surface, and an astonishing weight

"Good guy, it's too difficult to grab and lift!" Wang Chao tried to grab it, and felt like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar, and his five knuckles began to rattle with force, but the lead-mercury ball didn't show any sign of rising.

"Chen Aiyang's finger skills, I don't know if he can easily lift this big ball with one hand."

After a failed attempt, Wang Chao tried hard. He lived in Hong Kong for more than 20 days and communicated with Chen Aiyang every day.

But this kind of grasping effort is really too difficult, and Wang Chao also doesn't believe that Chen Aiyang can do it easily.

"Take your time. It is not something that can be done overnight. The kung fu on your fingers must be practiced more fiercely than the punching force, so that you can practice the transition from the tiger shape to the eagle shape."

Wang Chao is not in a hurry.

In Xingyiquan, the connection between each form and each form requires a lot of practice. Connection is the most critical, and it is also the place where flaws are most likely to appear. When a master punches, it is this weak link to attack.

When Wang Chao and Zhang Wei competed, they started to use the tiger form, and after only one use, they immediately changed into the snake form. The transition in the middle almost stopped for a while, but fortunately he made up for it with his quick footwork.

But even so, Zhang Wei could tell that he attacked in one go, punched dozens of times, cracked the ring, and then suddenly unleashed the strongest blow. Wang Chao couldn't resist immediately and fell into a disadvantage. If he hadn't relied on the combined attack of the dragon and the snake to escape the fatal blow in the end, and then spurted blood arrows to turn defeat into victory, he would have been the one who killed him.

After winning the martial arts competition, Wang Chao didn't feel it yet, but once he communicated with Chen Aiyang, he immediately realized his fatal weakness. So I came back and practiced hard to make up for it and go a step further.

Although the tiger shape is fierce, it has no rear moves. Although the snake shape is flexible, it cannot kill a powerful enemy without a final bite. Although the boa constrictor uses its body to strangle, the most clean and efficient method is to use the venom in its teeth.

Standing in a good posture facing the lead-mercury ball, Wang Chao made a tiger-shaped chop slowly, with gentle movements, as if he was playing Tai Chi to preserve his health.

The moment he hit the lead-mercury ball, all of his energy and eyes were focused on the fingertips of his five fingers, and he grabbed and lifted violently.

The big lead-mercury ball hummed again, but it was still not picked up by his fingers.

Wang Chao was not discouraged, he still chopped out lightly and pulled it back heavily. Although his arms were gentle when he chopped to the end, the hairs all over his body were heaving and falling, and the fur was extremely tense.

This is obviously the essence of loosening the muscles and bones and attacking the fur.

Once hacked, twice hacked! Chop three times! …

After practicing hundreds of times, all of Wang Chao's essence, qi, and spirit were concentrated in his fingertips. In his eyes, everything has disappeared, and there are only simple movements like slashing gently and grabbing heavily.

Swinging his arms, he repeated the same arcs in the air.

Selfless practice, addicted to hacking. He completely forgot about time.

Every time he grabs and chops, he has done a good job of the four-character formula in Xingyiquan's training method, "light out and heavy harvest".

"Tai Chi is like catching fish, gossip is like grinding, and Xingyi is like catching shrimp."

Wang Chao's chopping and catching were all concentrated, just like catching prawns swimming in the water.

The communication with Chen Aiyang gave him a deeper understanding of Xingyiquan practice. Especially for Piquan Jin, he comprehended it more thoroughly.

Chen Aiyang's most proud Tai Chi Kung Fu is actually very simple, it is whipping hands. When the two arms are moving, they are like a huge steel whip whipping, crushing stones when encountering stones, and breaking iron when encountering iron. Blockers are invincible.

Tai Chi Whip Hands, Xingyi Piquan, and Twitch Jin in Bagua are all interlinked.

In the words of Master Cheng Tinghua of Baguazhang, "Practicing the palm is like pushing a mountain, and beating people is like swinging a whip."

Wang Chao and Chen Aiyang exchanged boxing skills, and both sides benefited a lot.

Although Wang Chao knew the listening strength in Tai Chi, he had never practiced the steel strength of Tai Chi, nor had Tang Zichen taught him. Before the achievement of martial arts, it is a big taboo to be too greedy and impure moves.

But now, he has achieved some success in boxing, comprehended the dark energy, and made his voice easily. Having reached the master level, what is needed now is to learn from others' strengths, and then comprehend it by oneself, discard the false and preserve the true, discard the rough and extract the essence, and form a training method and a style of play with its own unique style.

Only in this way can we move towards the realm of Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, and those great masters step by step.

The simple chopping and grasping exercises finger skills, but it contains the unique understanding of a generation of boxing masters.

After scratching and hacking for thousands of times, Wang Chao suddenly woke up from his obsession, his five knuckles were red, obviously he had exercised to the limit.

It was dark outside, and the night was already dark.

Before Wang Chao knew it, he had practiced all day.

In the following days, Wang Chao stayed behind closed doors, declined all contacts, and practiced in the practice room in the backyard of the villa all day long.

He doesn't practice agility or other forms, he simply chops and grasps every day. During the day, staring at the big ball of lead and mercury, hacking and scratching. And at night, close your eyes and scratch the air with your heart.

Practice your eyes and hands during the day, and keep your eyes and hands at night.

If you keep practicing hard, your finger joints are flesh after all, and sometimes you can't stand it.

And his practice and cultivation in this way is in line with the blending of yin and yang in the Taoist way of keeping in good health.

Gently hack away and grab and lift heavily. It is also one yin and one yang.

The muscles and bones are loose, the fur is standing up, it is still yin and yang.

In simple exercises, he seemed to begin to understand the deep yet simple mysteries of the Yin-Yang Way.

"Martial arts has learned a very high and profound realm. Every action, every move, does not follow the way of yin and yang, and water and fire complement each other. Everything happens naturally, and there is no need to deliberately do it. This is also the truth understood by Confucius when he was over 70 years old. .”

During the simple "cutting", "yin and yang", "movement", "practice" and "health preservation", Wang Chao suddenly understood some of Tang Zichen's words in the records of Chinese martial arts.

Although I don't know where Tang Zichen is now, I think of her words and comprehend her thoughts. Wang Chao's heart seemed to be closely connected with her.

Really things must be simple. The upper level of martial arts training is not about the skin and bones, but the comprehension and understanding of all people, things, and things.

"I don't know the year, month and day in the cave."

Day by day passed, Wang Chao didn't realize it, and he didn't care about it. In addition to eating, sleeping and other necessary things every day, I just practice chopping and grasping to understand yin and yang. Watch the sun rise and set.

He is also a billionaire now, so he naturally has the money to have a professional chef cook and hire servants to clean the room.

And the training ground is behind the villa, and he told people not to come in, so he also ended up very clean.

In this way, day after day, the sun rises and sets, and the moon rises and sets. At the end of the practice, his boxing seemed to match the law of sunrise and sunset. Every day when the sun rises, his grasping and splitting power will naturally burst out. And the moment the moon rises, his strength will relax, turning from practice to recuperation.

Even if it was cloudy and rainy, the clouds covered the sun and the moon, but it didn't affect him in the slightest.

Because he has integrated the law of the rising and rising of the sun and the moon into the law of the vigorous development of the body. The thick clouds couldn't hide it.

"In Wudang swordsmanship, there are 'day refinement' and 'moon refinement' to seek the unity of heaven and man. Human's yin and yang work and rest patterns cooperate with heaven's work and rest patterns. It is the best way to preserve health."

Until one day, Wang Chao suddenly chopped and scratched. The strength of the finger joints suddenly exploded, and there was a crash, and the whole lead-mercury ball seemed to be sucked by his fingers, and it was lifted out of the stone trough in one fell swoop!

His finger joints suddenly exploded, crackling, and the sound was crisp. The strength and power are not inferior to Zhang Wei's iron fingers.

Grasping the big, smooth lead-mercury ball with one hand, Wang Chao spun around his body like playing basketball, and then threw it accurately and lightly into the stone trough.

The big ball fell into the stone trough, and there was a sudden shock, which woke him up.

"Hey! I can actually practice to such a level?" Wang Chao woke up suddenly. Looking at the big ball in the groove, he stepped forward again and grabbed it again. Sure enough, the ball was caught again.

"Okay, okay, okay." He was full of joy, and he shot suddenly, hitting the tiger in the shape of a chop, and suddenly the wind shook, and the roar of the tiger echoed on the walls around him.

At the end of the chopping fist, he grabbed out another hard claw, and combined with the eagle shape, the breath in his chest suddenly became extremely sharp, as if a sharp knife burst out from his throat, sharp and sharp, just like a giant flying at a height of a thousand meters. Peng Xiongying swooped down.

The sound of the tiger-shaped imposing manner was extremely ferocious, but after the sudden change to the attack of the eagle-shaped claws, the aura and strength on his body exploded even higher and more intensely. It turned out to be a higher level.

Click! As soon as Wang Chao grabbed the ground, his dark energy burst out, and the hard terrazzo ground was immediately cracked. There were five wet finger holes an inch deep.

As soon as he scratched the ground, Wang Chao suddenly remembered the killer move in the shape of the monkey, and without stopping his hands and feet, he grabbed a handful of broken stones and struck forward.

The stone was ready to hit the lead-mercury ball, making a dull sound unique to lead metal.

"It turned out to be like this. The coherence behind the eagle may be a monkey. But now I have only practiced one blow to catch the eagle and show its claws. The entire eagle shape has not been practiced yet, so it is not easy to force more coherent changes."

Wang Chao stopped the process of exploring downwards.

"When is it now? How long have I been practicing, as if I have the feeling of 'seven days in the cave, thousands of years in the world'?"

These days, he practiced kung fu and took care of himself according to the law of the sun and the moon. People have entered the most reasonable regimen of health preservation and exercise in Taoism, which is the point where man and nature are one. Completely forgot the date set by the outside world.

Looking at the date table, it is actually the golden autumn of October, although the weather is still relatively hot in autumn. He came back from Hong Kong in June, that is to say, he practiced health preservation all day long, and in a flash, more than three or four months have passed.

There was no contact with the outside world for three months. Looking back now, Wang Chao suddenly remembered that he had joined the organization and disappeared for so many days. Will there be new tasks

"Why is Cao Yi so obedient? He hasn't bothered me for three or four months? Could it be that he doesn't know where I live? Impossible, he should have known about my villa long ago. There are no more tasks. Or just let me practice with peace of mind?"

Wang Chao guessed right now, since he defeated Zhang Wei, Cao Yi reported the matter. He immediately became one of the key cultivation targets, and now General Zhou Liang and Cao Yi are waiting for the latest plan from the organization. There is a buffer period of half a year.

Cao Yi knew that Wang Chao was practicing in seclusion. For him, the higher the level of Wang Chao's kung fu, the better. Naturally, he would not disturb him. He even arranged special staff to prevent others from disturbing him.

When Wang Chao came out of retreat and contacted Yao Xiaoxue, he only received a text message: "Zhao Xinglong was injured in a taekwondo competition and is now in the hospital. It has been a month. Cao Yi doesn't allow anyone to disturb you, and neither do we." Good to contact you."

"What? Zhao Xinglong was beaten into the hospital?" Wang Chao took a breath when he heard that.
