A few months later, under Zhang Wufeng's painstaking teaching, Sun Jiashu's skills greatly improved. In the spacious yard in front of the house, Sun Jiashu was practicing Taijiquan seriously, connecting each move with each other, and he was like a master. He was the only one "White Crane Spreading Wings", the movements are stretched and graceful, with steel in the soft inside; followed by "Holding the Knees and Staggering Steps", which is false and solid, and advances and retreats freely; Soft on the inside and strong on the outside; "Jade Girl Shuttle" hits the vital point; the last "Golden Rooster Independent" is a series of clean and neat movements.

Zhang Wufeng watched from the side, nodded and smiled, and seeing Sun Jiashu relax his body, he praised and said: "Teacher, I really didn't expect you to reach the third level of skill in a few months. An ordinary person would It will take at least ten years to reach this level, you have potential in this area, it seems that I should teach you higher martial arts, you follow me."

"Master, it's all the result of your teaching." Sun Jiashu said as he followed his master to the grove behind the house. He thought to himself, what higher martial arts does master have?

Sun Jiashu followed Zhang Wufeng all the way along the back mountain. Normally, except for practicing kung fu, Sun Jiashu rarely came to this place, because this place was restricted by his master, and he never let him step in. He didn't know what secrets were hidden inside. There are many trees inside, so you can only look sideways. Seeing the master go in, Sun Jiashu followed the master into it. There are all pine trees that are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and dozens of pine trees are brushed at the height of one person. It was sawed off, and the cut was ground very smooth. Looking at the distance between dozens of trees, the front, back, left, and right were almost the same. They should have been specially cultivated like this. Sun Jiashu didn't know why the master brought him here.

Zhang Wufeng turned over with a kite and stood firmly on the two tree stumps with his feet. He didn't look like a centenarian at all. He called Sun Jiashu and said, "Teacher, you come up too."

"Yes." Sun Jiashu jumped up and stood on the stump. Now, he is as light as a swallow, and the building climbing practiced in the army is simply too childish for him now.

"Tu'er, you see. This is a plum blossom pile that I cultivated according to the Taiji gossip. It is surrounded by a hundred acres. I cultivated it 50 years ago. It took me half my life. Look around, there are all trees I used. The formed Taiji Bagua formation, when you enter this formation, you will feel that you are on the scene, just like actual combat. After more than 60 years of painstaking research, I combined the defense of Taiji and the offense of Baguazhang to create the current Taiji Baguazhang , Disciple, now you follow me on the stake." After Zhang Wufeng finished speaking, he took a step and began to walk on the wooden stake. His eyes were looking ahead, but his feet looked like they had eyes, one by one, just like walking on a flat road. , there is no need to worry about stepping into the air, and walking faster and faster, Sun Jiashu's eyes are blurred, and the shadows of his master are all around him.

"Disciple, why don't you go?" Sun Jiashu heard the voice of the master all around.

"Yes, I'll go." Sun Jiashu replied tremblingly.

Sun Jiashu moved his feet slowly, it was okay to walk slowly, but it would be a disaster if he speeded up, he had to look down to move around, as the speed of the master continued to increase, he soon felt dazzled, and if he was not careful, he When he stepped on the ground, his body immediately lost his balance. With a lupus, he fell sideways. If he fell off this wooden stake that is as tall as a person, if he fell unprepared, he would definitely fall on his back. Sun Jiashu thought, this is over, shame on him At the moment when he was about to fall, Zhang Wufeng stretched out a leg like lightning, hooked Sun Jiashu's neck with his toes, and when he pulled up hard, he saw Sun Jiashu standing upright on the stump again.

"Thank you, master." Sun Jiashu looked at the master gratefully, but he didn't see how the master came to him.

"Walk the plum blossom pile not with your eyes, but with your heart. No matter how fast your eyes are, your heart will not be fast. You should first firmly imprint the position of the plum blossom pile in your heart, and direct your feet with your heart. It won’t be empty, come on, try again, close your eyes after taking a look, and firmly remember the position of the stake in your heart.” Zhang Wufeng taught.

Sun Jiashu carefully looked at the position of each wooden stake, and then closed his eyes. Strangely, those dozens of wooden stakes turned into dozens of bright spots in his mind. He tried to step on the bright spots with his feet. , is solid, and then stepped on another bright spot, it is still solid, this is good, his feet will no longer be empty, and he walks boldly.

Seeing that Sun Jiashu's footsteps were steady, Zhang Wufeng began to teach Sun Jiashu the essentials of practicing Baguazhang, and explained the essence of Baguazhang in detail. Sun Jiashu kept it in his heart: Baguazhang is different from Taiji. The palms are always moving, keep doing circular movements, look for opportunities in the movement, and win in the movement. When walking the plum blossom pile, the steps should be even and the speed should be the same. Lift the leg and inhale, lower the leg and exhale, and then lift the back foot when the front foot is in place .Baguazhang first needs to practice walking and body shape well. There are two kinds of steps: the mud step and the crane-shaped step.It is said that when the feet are lifted, they should be very close to the ground, such as walking in muddy water, going back and forth from left to right.Ouyang Feng was walking on the plum blossom pile with a mud step, it really looked like there was mud on the ground, he was wading through the mud.Then he took the crane-shaped step again, the crane-shaped step: When taking a step, the soles of the feet should be empty, the toes should grasp the ground, and when landing, they should rub forward and firmly.The metaphor of the image is: "Lifting up the legs is like a chicken, extending the legs is like a crane, and falling is like a squid".The overall lower body should pay attention to: bend the knees, follow the hips, and twist the feet at the waist. "When walking, don't shake the whole body, rely on the intersection of the knees and the bottom. Although the chassis is about flat knees and hips, the midsection also needs to lower the legs and waist."And be clear about what is true.When walking, you must achieve the essentials of looseness, stability, slowness and uniformity.Every time you change the palm position of the eight palms in the fixed position, you need to buckle and buckle the step, and don't turn back if you don't buckle the step.The scriptures say: "Turn around like a dragon with buckle steps, turn around with palms and palms, cover palms and stretch your neck while stretching, waist like a dragon connecting head to tail."Baguazhang has higher requirements for body technique: when practicing Baguazhang, the whole body is required to achieve "three voids" and "six harmony".The three empties are chest emptiness (qi sinks to the pubic region), palms emptiness (energy reaches the fingers), and soles of the feet (thickness of the whole body).Liuhe refers to the inner three-in-one (heart and mind, mind and qi, qi and strength), and outer three-in-one (hand and foot, elbow and knee, shoulder and hip).This is what is often said: "Liuhe returns to one true root, and the two characters of yin and yang are closely connected."In terms of movement, start slowly, and the shoulders, elbows, hands, waist, hips, knees, and feet must be stretched, coordinated, and coordinated.The general requirements for the upper limbs are loose shoulders and elbows, and hands like eagle claws. The image requirements for various parts of the body are: monkey head, snake eyes, bear arms, ape arms, eagle claws, turtle back, tiger sitting, dragon waist, chicken legs, Crane line.To practice Baguazhang, you need to practice Qi internally, strength externally, and refine Qi internally.Baguazhang pays attention to the combination of mind and qi.Introduce Qi with intention, and stimulate force with Qi.Breathing is closely related to force.To close is to inhale, to open is to exhale; to lift is to inhale, and to fall is to exhale.Breathe out and in slowly.The scriptures say: "Close your lips, close your tongue, lick your palate, breathe through your nostrils, hum and puff when you are exhausted, and you will get the Hunyuan Qi."

Sun Jiashu carefully comprehended the essence of Baguazhang, practiced even harder, walked freely on plum blossom piles, dodged and jumped like walking on flat ground, and it was easy to find opportunities to attack the enemy during the movement.
