Chapter 22 The foundation must be laid firmly
Will Xiang Bo collude with Zhou Qingyun to deceive himself?
Will Xiang Bo not understand martial arts at all, and he admits this from beginning to end?
There were many thoughts, but Zhu Da quickly denied it. Judging from the personalities of Xiang Bo and Zhou Qingyun, the other party would not deceive him at all. Zhou Qingyun was really capable when he opened his bow and shot fish, but why was it so simple?
"Bastard! Don't be distracted when learning martial arts!" Xiang Bo saw that Zhu Da was in a daze and shouted angrily.
The roar made Zhu Da tremble. Xiang Bo raised his leg and was about to kick him. He hesitated for no action, but just said in a muffled voice: "Old man, I will practice again, and I will be distracted and beat you ten times!"
At this time, Xiang Bo felt normal. Zhu Da was a teenager after all, and he could not concentrate. He was distracted by the influence of the war in the sky just now.
Zhu Da didn't have much doubt or hesitation, and immediately became serious and focused. He quickly realized that there was only one life-saving straw in front of him, and he had to grasp it no matter whether it was true or false, because there was no choice.
When I read it again, I felt different from the previous few times. The movements demonstrated by Xiang Bo are indeed simple, chopping, stabbing, lifting, blocking, backhand, and knife handle. Each movement is simple and basic, but each movement is also complete, the whole body and limbs are mobilized, the lower plate stabilizes the body, swings the upper limbs and exerts force, and there is no place for the waist, back, hands and feet to stiffen.
These six styles seem to be disassembling the battle movements with swords. Thinking of the martial arts and martial arts I saw back then, and even juggling performances, it seems that these six movements can be combined, or even the fancy routines are all composed of these six movements.
On the battlefield, train ordinary people to fight and kill people. Such basic and concise movements are the most suitable, most efficient, and even the best in cost. The six sword techniques in front of you are definitely not the best, and there are definitely more suitable for actual combat and better, but only this is what you can learn, as long as it is true, it is enough.
"Have you learned it?" Xiang Bo asked roughly, the back of the knife in his hand had been turned, as if he was about to pull someone out.
"Learn." Zhu Da replied.
His answer made Xiang Bo stunned. Zhou Qingyun hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang, I have taught Zhu Da!"
Looking at Zhou Qingyun's smug look, Xiang Bo suddenly realized it and scolded him angrily: "You have the ability to be half-baked and have the face to teach others. Zhu Da, go there to find a wooden stick of the right length and do it as you like."
Zhu Da hurried over and took a wooden stick more than three feet long and started to demonstrate. His learning ability is far superior to that of the teenagers of his age. In addition, he has learned and practiced it before, and these movements can be repeated in full and precise manner just now.
Xiang Bo nodded and spoke solemnly: "Since you have learned it, practice it well and can't relax at all times. Master will survive on the battlefield through these six styles."
The first time was done quickly. Xiang Bo was just watching from the side without any intention of stopping. Zhu Da continued to practice consciously. Although his movements seemed to be similar, there were still many unstandard aspects. Xiang Bo kept correcting and giving him guidance.
The movement is simple, and it is extremely boring to repeat it over and over again. Xiang Bo has already put the knife in the sheath, and went there to take a stick in his hand, waiting for Zhu Da to get tired of it or move out of shape. He twitched the stick here. Zhu Da's distracted moment just now made Xiang Bo think that the other party was still a teenager and he had to discipline him strictly to remain focused and serious.
But Zhu Da practiced very seriously over and over again. He remembered the process of physical exercise, running, push-ups, and sit-ups. Each item was not that interesting, just boring repetition, but if you persist, you will naturally gain something. This is not the case with studying and reviewing in class. If you focus and be serious and don’t relax, then you will have results.
What's more, with the repeated repetitions and continuous guidance from Xiang Bo beside him, Zhu Da's experience of this Luohan knife became more and more profound. Each movement is indeed reasonable, allowing people to exert their strength as much as possible, but at the same time, they are measured so that their bodies will not be stiff, and they can be considered as restrained and relaxed.
He was practicing here, and Zhou Qingyun next to him was also urged to practice. Compared with Zhu Da's concentration and seriousness, Zhou Qingyun was a little impatient and repeated with a bitter face, but there were not many mistakes in his movements. It was obvious that he had practiced many times.
"...These six sword techniques are too simple. There are many people who know about Datong, but not many people practice. They all think that these few moves are country styles and are useless. But when you really get into the battle formation, you have ten or a hundred people, killing one person and another, and there are enemies from all directions. How can you dodge carefully? It's just a knife to block it and slash back with one knife..."
"... There are tricks for this kind of slashing and blocking. If you use your strength, you won't cut many knives. You may also hurt your muscles and bones. How to use the knife, how to move, how to do the waist and legs. You can learn it in these six ways. If you learn it, you will have to practice for a few years..."
Listening to Xiang Bo talking nonstop beside him, Zhou Qingyun's face became more and more bitter, especially when he heard "a few years", he couldn't help but curl his lips. This expression was seen by Xiang Bo, and he thrust on his thigh with a stick, and immediately screamed in pain.
Zhu Da did not relax at all. Xiang Bo's words were simple, but he heard many truths. These six styles of Luohan Knife were probably the "standard movements" in the army. They were simple and practical. They were summarized by the powerful generals who had been through the battlefield. The effect required by Xiang Bo was to reach the level of subconscious reaction and practice to the point of being engraved in the bones.
".........If you practice these six styles, your hands, feet, waist and back will be alive. It is more convenient for seniors and spears and other things to do. Even if you fight with others, you won't suffer any loss..."
These movements are not just about swinging the wrists and arms, but the whole body will be trained. Over time, apart from practicing the sword technique, it is not necessary to say that strengthening the body. Zhu Da can understand this principle. It was his first time practicing, and he was able to figure out this joint and became more and more focused.
As he practiced, Zhu Da suddenly found that Xiang Bo was no longer talking. He glanced over and found that Xiang Bo was looking at the northern sky. The two previous beacons were approaching at night, but this time it was in the morning. Does this mean what this mean?
Looking along, he saw a difference. When Mr. Li's house gathered the villagers, the smoke pillars in the sky were faint, but now the color was a little darker, and there were a few more. Zhu Da was about to continue practicing the knife, but his body trembled and stopped. He suddenly realized what this meant, not the color was darker, but the distance was closer. Could it be that the enemy in the north had gone deeper?
Xiang Bo turned his head and saw Zhu Da stopping his movements without scolding him, but said in a muffled voice: "It's still far away, you can continue to practice yours."
Zhu Da continued to practice swords, but he was not very panicked. The skills of outdoor travel told Zhu Da that the distance is still far away and Xiang Bo is experienced, so he is not in a hurry, so he is afraid of anything he is afraid of.
"After more than ten years of peace, what else can I complain about?" Xiang Bo murmured in a low voice.
After practicing the knife for more than half an hour, Xiang Bo asked Zhou Qingyun to practice the bow. When practicing, he was naturally reluctant to use the real bow. He just helped a hemp rope on a curved wooden stick, constantly pulling it apart and relaxing. The training of shooting bows and arrows is even more boring than knife skills, but Zhou Qingyun was much more interested than just now.
Xiang Bo Xiang Yue didn't pay much attention to Zhou Qingyun, but called Zhu Da to ask about the way to exercise her body and strengthen her strength.
"...The Taoist said that running more than ten miles a day can stabilize your body, coordinate your waist, back, legs and feet, and your strength will gradually accumulate..."
"...The Taoist also taught several postures, which were used to strengthen the arms, shoulders, waist, legs and feet, and special equipment..."
Zhu Da thought about the words and used Xiang Bo's words to express scientific methods of strengthening the body as much as possible, such as running, push-ups, sit-ups, flexing and stretching. As for equipment, wooden sticks and modified stones can replace barbells.
"This Taoist is amazing! I heard that there are many Taoist people in Huguang who are good at martial arts, and they all have the identities of officials. Could it be that they are here..." Xiang Bo had a thought.
Although what Zhu Da said was very fresh, the truth was the same. Xiang Bo and Xiang Yue could understand it and could not find any fault. In fact, his so-called daily secret method of strengthening the body and teaching it in the army were similar. However, the summary and refinement of Zhu Da's era had become a rule.
Xiang Bo's conclusion made Zhu Da feel lucky. Fortunately, Xiang Bo Xiang Yue had a wide experience, which was much more knowledgeable than the people in the village. If it were the people who had never left Baibao Village, they would not be able to tell them, and it would be a problem to be suspicious. However, most of the Taoists who learned martial arts in Huguang were from Wudang Mountain. I guess Xiang Bo had never left Datong, so he knew this.
"Your method should not be bad. You should practice with Qingyun first. If it is easy to use in a month, continue. If it doesn't work, follow my master's method." Xiang Bo made the decision.
It was noon, but Xiang Bo did not ask them to continue practicing hard, but sent them to catch fish and ran out first. As for strength and physical strength, they were carried out in the yard. Xiang Bo had no confidence in the consciousness of the two teenagers.
After Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun left the yard, they immediately became much lighter. They were reluctant and unwilling to do so. After all, the swordsmanship and shooting techniques were monotonous and boring. However, Zhou Qingyun was not very happy and muttered, "I learned it a long time ago than you, and I actually wanted you to teach me."
Zhou Qingyun was a young man with a teenager. After leaving the village, he started to laugh. While following Zhu Da to run and jump in a standard position, he told the story of Xiang Bo that he knew. Xiang Bo was an ordinary soldier in the army back then. He once saved a servant next to a military general. The servant took Xiang Yue for a while and taught a lot of things from all over the world, which made Xiang Yue's ability and knowledge increase a lot. He thought he could be a servant in the future, and he was considered a little wealthy background. He never thought that he would save the man and die in battle, and everything would disappear.
It was very brief, and I think Xiang Yue didn't say much to Zhou Qingyun. Zhu Da listened very carefully, but these explained Xiang Bo's unusualness.
"I don't know if there are any fish in the pit? I'm afraid that someone will stolen it!" Zhou Qingyun was already muttering more than a mile away from the river.
Speaking of this, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both stopped and turned around. They heard the rapid sound of horse hooves and looked towards the north of the village. Several riders were galloping towards Baibao Village!
