Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 11 The Eve
September [-].

In the early morning, Guan Luoyang and the coach said goodbye to Tian Gongyu and set foot on the road to Guangzhou.

The teacher's original outfit was really too eye-catching. This time, he also changed into a blue coarse cloth.

Those were Tian Gongyu's clothes. Tian Gongyu was a little shorter than the coach, and the clothes were a little tight on the coach.

But these days, there are a lot of people without clothes, and Guan Luoyang has seen with his own eyes, there are not a few corpses starved to death on the roadside naked.

The trainer's clothes are just a little ill-fitting, but it's not suspicious. His roster and short stick are hidden by himself, and he doesn't know where to hide them. Anyway, he moves freely and can't see it at all.

On the contrary, it is Guan Luoyang's long sword, which is a bit difficult to handle.After deliberating for a long time, I decided not to bring it.

The sun has not yet risen, the sky is dim, and the two people are chatting while walking on the road in the wilderness.

"King Lei was the best of both punches and knives back then. The killing efficiency of a set of grabbers is almost as good as that of the sword. You don't have a sword, but you don't know how much you have learned from him?"

"Five masters, I have learned more than swordsmanship, but Master, he was a master of bone training back then, but I was a master of skin training. I don't know who is stronger or weaker than when he was in his prime?"

The five grapplers, as the name suggests, are a set of grapplers that are divided into five parts.

Arhat, Eagle Claw, Silk Wrap, Crane Broken, Passing Back.

To sum it up in the most simple and concise language, Luohan refers to the method of grabbing and grasping the joints of the limbs of the human body with fierce force, dividing the tendons, dislocating the bones and breaking the flesh.

The trick that twisted Zhu Changshou's right arm was from the Arhat.

Eagle claws are used to train one's own wrist and finger strength, mainly targeting the enemy's facial features, lower back, lower genitals, etc. When it strikes, it will pierce the eyes and ears, buckle the lips and hook the face.

Silk wrapping is a method of pulling and dragging to destroy the balance of the enemy. It is aimed at the ends of ears, fingers, hair, clothing, etc., often by beating and hurting people.

He Duan, on the other hand, pays attention to his own unique way of exerting his strength, and pursues unique cultivation achievements such as palm insertion, index finger, and inch strength.

Through the back, it is to practice one's own breathing, let the long strike far, and the vigor is long. At the same time, it is mixed with the hypnotic technique that has evolved from the Boxer God's fighting method. It seeks to confuse the enemy at a critical moment, distract it, and play a surprise attack. Effect.

According to Tian Gongyu, this set of grappling hands was first handed down from the generation of his master and uncle who passed on the arts on behalf of his master, and then passed it on to his master, and then passed it on to him. After passing through the Jinmen Huimeng, it was exchanged with each other by the great boxers. Precious manuscripts are truly perfect.

"Your master has achieved great success in bone training because he has worked hard for 30 years. You have only used six years to reach the level of skin training. Not only is his talent amazing, but he also teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. The teaching is good. The disciples don't have to. Xiao Yushi, you don’t have to be inferior to your teacher.”

The teacher got this nickname because he was a good teacher in the Boxer Regiment, and he gave guidance to many rising stars.

When he came here today, he couldn't help but think of pointing the younger generation, and said, "But since you are practicing the five masters, you have grabbed a lot of essence from the manuscripts of your fellow practitioners back then, and at the same time you have mastered the skin, the tendons, Bone, Qi, I must have already acquired a lot of attainments."

Guan Luoyang is not a person who likes to be humble, and he tells the truth: "I can exert strength up to more than [-] jin at will, hold my breath for a quarter of an hour, bow my head and bend my waist, tuck my hands around my knees, curl up like a ball all night, never relax, but my cervical and lumbar vertebrae will never relax. No soreness. This is a test I did around May of this year."

Is this really just practiced in six years?
The coach couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying: "In this way, you may have a try in the near future and step into the threshold of qi training."

The practice of Qi in the world of boxing and martial arts refers to the practice of breathing.

When Tian Gongyu explained to Guan Luoyang the so-called "Complete of the Four Exercises", he once said that although each of the four major exercises requires talent and diligence, if they are compared with each other, it can be said to be bone training. It takes hard work the most, and qi training requires talent the most.

The air flowing in and out between the mouth and nose is so weak, even if you blow with all your strength, you may not be able to blow the two taels of pork on the cutting board.

However, after these airflows are transformed by breathing and enter the human body, they can drive a human body weighing [-], [-], or even [-] jin to perform all kinds of strenuous exercises.

In this process, the effectiveness of these weak air currents is magnified thousands of times!
One way of practicing Qi in martial arts is to explore the mystery between the transformation of breath.

But to be honest, in Guan Luoyang's view, the various descriptions of the secrets of Qi training on the boxer's manuscripts are too abstract.

In the past six years, he has practiced boxing and qigong, and he has made great progress in other aspects, but in the field of qi training, except for increasing lung capacity, he has not found any other direction of practice.

Guan Luoyang talked about his confusion.

The instructor immediately smiled and said, "Practicing qi is not foolhardy, nor is it just about increasing the strength of the heart and lungs. The so-called training of qi is the most important talent, it means that you can catch a certain special state in long-term practice.

Some people will never encounter this state in their entire life, and some people can encounter it three or five times in a year, and the latter will naturally be considered to be more talented, and it is easier to step into the mastery of Qi.

But in fact, if there is a person who has mastered qi practice and teaches by words and deeds, then the chances of the apprentice touching this state will also be greatly improved. "

As the instructor said, he slowed down his steps, lowered his voice, and said, "Follow me, pay attention to my breathing, and watch my chest and abdomen rise and fall as I walk."

Guan Luoyang stood sideways and listened intently.

breathe--

breathe--

The instructor faced south, raised his arms slightly, and let them down slowly.

The sound of breathing clearly fell into Guan Luoyang's ears.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, in the wilderness, the cliffs in the distance are steep, the moss is full, and the rocks are dense.

The jungle nearby is uneven, the grass is everywhere, the dew is about to fall, and the green is dripping.

The two of them stood in the green space, and the breeze blew the dew on the branches, bringing a little coolness to Guan Luoyang's face.

I don't know when, Guan Luoyang suddenly found that he couldn't tell whether the instructor was exhaling or inhaling.

The two voices are entangled, the difference is getting smaller and smaller, and they are becoming more and more consistent.

Guan Luoyang frowned and looked intently.

The instructor made some camouflage with plaster and powder on his face. It looked a lot darker and had a lot of pockmarks. When a person inhales, the nostrils are drawn in, and when they exhale, the nostrils are released. With Guan Luoyang's eyesight, it should not be difficult to identify.

But he couldn't tell whether the instructor was breathing or breathing at the moment.

In the end, what he heard in his ears seemed to be an endless long breath.

Just then, the instructor stepped forward.

Guan Luoyang was at a loss, so he had to keep up. He was walking on the side, his eyes constantly looking at the coach's chest and abdomen.

The instructor's chest didn't rise and fall significantly, but the layer of clothing that was tight on his chest and abdomen had very subtle ripples constantly surging.

It was obviously a rough cloth, but when it was worn on the instructor at the moment, it turned out to be like silk wrinkled by the breeze, rippling from the place where the source could not be clearly identified, and the ripples kept rippling.

The more Guan Luoyang wanted to observe, the more difficult it became to understand.

Before they knew it, they walked from the early morning to the noon time of the day. There were many steep and muddy places on the dozens of miles of mountain roads, and they were not in a hurry.

The instructor's breathing was still melodious, as if there was no coming out.

When he reached a river, the instructor stopped, turned to face Guan Luoyang, and pointed to his neck and flank.

Guan Luoyang understood and pressed his hands to those two places.

A very low tremor came from his palm.

The coach is not a master of skin training, but at this time, Guan Luoyang suddenly had a feeling that a coach who remains in this state will definitely not have a lower skin resistance than himself.

The instructor let him touch his chest again, turned to his back, touched his shoulder blades, lumbar spine, and there was a similar tremor in every place.

This subtle feeling cannot be seen with the naked eye at all. It can only be felt by touching it with your hands, and you can clearly feel that the tremor frequency is exactly the same everywhere. A difference occurs.

After a while, the instructor raised his hand to signal him to move away, then turned his head to face the water, and slowly exhaled.

The other person stood up straight, and his mouth was at least two meters away from the water surface, but the breath blew out, but it hit the water surface, and a small obvious dent appeared, pushing the waves away.

After this breath was exhaled, the instructor's breathing finally had a distinct difference.

"Practicing Qi is a kind of rhythm, just like you have just felt, it is from the mouth, nose, heart and lungs to the peripheral parts of the whole body, showing this unified rhythm, the skin, muscles, blood and bones, are only a whole. , is to make people feel the existence of this connection more clearly.

In the ancient naive theory of "Su Wen", it is said that exhaling the **** breath, independent and guarding the spirit, and the muscles are like one, maybe it is this state. "

Following the instructor's words, Guan Luoyang fell into deep thought, sometimes clasping his hands together, looking at the muscles on his arms, sometimes turning his palms over, pinching his knuckles, feeling the state of compression of his bones and joints.

After a long time, the instructor was already sitting there eating dry food.

Only then did Guan Luoyang come back to his senses and said, "I seem to understand why it is said that the four major exercises are getting harder as you go on."

The four major exercises of muscles, bones, skin and Qi, step by step, one mountain and one heavy sky.

In the past few hundred years, there have been dozens of boxers in each generation who have mastered the first practice, but the number of masters in the second practice has been reduced tenfold.

In 100 years, there may not be one person who has achieved great success through three practices, and perhaps only a legendary figure like Zhang Sanfeng who has achieved great success through four practices.

Guan Luoyang had been difficult to understand before. After all, objectively speaking, the stronger a certain quality of the human body, the easier it should be to improve the shortcomings of other aspects.

But in addition to being objective, you also need to take into account subjective feelings.

Since Guan Luoyang finished his skin training, he had a feeling that his whole body was firm and unbreakable. No matter how hard the skeletal muscles were exerted, the skin was enough to bear it and burst out.

He knew that this was just an illusion, any kind of foreign gun, shooting him at close range, could break his skin, so he thought he had broken this barrier of knowledge.

But thinking about it now, this feeling still left a certain influence in his heart.

Guan Luoyang has unconsciously divided his skin and other parts of the human body into two parts.

Presumably those who have mastered the bones and muscles have a similar feeling, so in order to achieve the masters of the second practice, they must suppress the main position of the first practice from their hearts.

For example, when practicing Qi Dacheng, it is even more necessary to ignore the differences between the five senses, internal organs, muscles and bones. This perception is even contradictory to the feeling brought by other exercises.

If this concept cannot be reversed, then in the process of practicing the exercises, you will unconsciously go astray. Ninety percent of the ten percent of the training is useless. How long is a person's life, and if it is wasted like this, it will naturally be difficult to make much progress. .

If you want to overcome these, you have to keep admonishing yourself and adjusting your cognition.

Guan Luoyang has heard that some great boxers would die from nasal hemorrhage in the process of groping for a higher realm. Now that I think about it, it may be that they are too crazy, do not know how to control, and use their brains too much, which leads to sudden death. .

The teacher had already finished eating his cake, drank a few sips of water from the gourd, and said, "When I first arrived at Lei Gong's place, I thanked you for your kindness, so I intentionally demonstrated it to you. It's just that I was injured at that time, and I couldn't maintain it. This state. And at that time, you seemed to have a slight injury between your heart and soul, and you couldn't easily try it, so it was delayed until today."

Guan Luoyang nodded: "My injury is completely healed now, but although I know the general state of Qi Dacheng, I still have no clue as to how to get myself to that state."

"It doesn't matter, the mountain road is difficult to walk. From here to Guangzhou, the two of us at least say we have to catch the road for two days. We will come in the afternoon and tomorrow."

The instructor handed over the rations, "Don't put too much burden on yourself. It's not that you have to reach that threshold before arriving in Guangzhou. It's just that I'm free now, and I'll teach you when I have a meeting."

He didn't say a word: Lei Gong has a successor, I... should also pass on some of it.

Guan Luoyang took the dry food, sat down by the river, and chewed slowly. Through this chewing process, he gradually calmed down and settled his complicated thoughts.

It is important to practice martial arts, but you can't put the cart before the horse. The most important thing at the moment is to enter Guangzhou City and send the roster to the place where it should go.

Continue on the road in the afternoon, resting in the woods that night.

In the afternoon of the second day, some small tea sheds and hotels began to appear around, and there were many traces of trees being cut down, which showed that it was close to Guangzhou City.

After a little inquiries, sure enough, there are only thirty miles away from Guangzhou City.

When they got here, the instructor became more and more calm, not in a hurry, and chose a hotel with a thatched roof and a hunchbacked old couple busying themselves with each other, and the two had a full meal.

They asked for a guest room, which was actually just a small room in the back.

"I will stop rushing this afternoon, recharge my batteries and get a good night's sleep."

The instructor dipped a little water on his finger, drew a box on the table, and drew a few waves on one side of the box, and said in a low voice, "Guangzhou is south of the Pearl River, the city wall has been demolished, it was the easiest to get in. However, those people must have imagined that they would have to invite the Guangzhou General to deploy heavy troops in the south for investigation, and this road would instead become the most dangerous and inadvisable.

The Guangzhou city wall in the other three directions is actually only more than [-] feet high. Once we get close to the city wall, we can turn over without going through the city gate at all.

Therefore, they will not be stuck under the city walls, but will be deployed at the surrounding road hubs.I have inquired, if we go to the north, it is very likely that we will encounter the enemy [-] miles away from the city wall, the whereabouts will be revealed, and the interception and siege will follow one after another, so that we will not have time to infiltrate Guangzhou City.

And if we want to go west, there will be a transportation hub that is more than three miles away from the city wall. That place is too close to the city of Guangzhou. Once we encounter an enemy, it may not be too late to kill the masters. Reinforcement troops will swarm here, which is not desirable. "

Guan Luoyang also whispered: "Only to the east?"

"Yes, the most likely place to encounter the enemy in the east is six or seven miles away from the city wall. There is an intersection there. If you reveal your whereabouts there, as long as you try to rush through the checkpoint, you will be under the city wall in less than half an hour. There is room for mediation in the city, and we can choose a wider direction, so as not to be directly bumped into by the reinforcements in the city."

The instructor gave a low laugh when he said this, "A moderate choice means taking risks in all other aspects. If it is possible, of course, it's better to be able to get away with it."

Guan Luoyang knew this was just a joke.

Given the importance attached by the Manchu government to this roster, the checkpoints set up at key traffic points must be searched.

So what awaits them tomorrow will only be fighting and running.

This humble hotel didn't even have a bed. In the room with air leaks from the gaps in the planks, two straw mats were laid on the ground, and the old quilt was covered on top, even if it was a bed.

Guan Luoyang and the coach were both sleeping in their clothes, and the sound of the busy old couple outside gradually subsided.

When the night was getting dark, the instructor tossed and turned, half-dreamed and half-awake, and suddenly said, "You said, will we succeed?"

Will sending the roster succeed?Even if the roster is delivered, will the future be successful?
These words should not be asked from an old Jianghu from a senior, let alone a young man.

After the teacher asked these words, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of annoyance on his face, and felt that he had lost his words.

At this time, as a senior to say such words, isn't it self-destructing morale?Coach, coach, I haven't been soft-spoken for so many years, why did you really say this hesitation in the dead of night?
But his questions were heard and answered quickly and clearly.

"Will do!"

Guan Luoyang slept soundly and was awake.

Even though the world had been so different, he had never questioned something.

In the final analysis, it's because... this place sucks!

Walking all the way, you can step on starved, smoker, and unknown corpses, swallow coarse grain mixed with sand, those empty houses that are moldy, smelly, and rotten, and the old and lonely old people accompany the house to become moldy, waiting outside the inn People who eat swill are actually in groups, holding children...

Walking from the village to the small town, the yellow skin is as thin as mud, and it is vivid in my mind. How many people look like people?

Then when I turned around, those half-Chinese and half-foreign costumes appeared magnificently, ranging from foreigners to fake foreigners to local rich people, to people to dogs, and then to the chain of contempt among the common people.

How can you not make people feel heartbroken and sneer?
It's so bad that a coward like me who was raised in 18 years of peace and prosperity can't bear it. It's so bad that a person like me who is worried about breaking the law even when he flips through the wall and the Internet has no choice but to kill people.

Such a rotten place, what reason do we have for not succeeding? !
