Romance of Dragons and Snakes

One night in early December, the weather suddenly turned cold and overnight, the north wind whistled. The snow drifted down, and until it was just dawn, a thick layer had fallen on the ground.

Wang Chao was awakened by the snow outside the window and thought it was dawn. But after looking at the alarm clock at the bedside, I realized that it was just over five o'clock and woke up for an hour myself.

However, Wang Chao never had the habit of staying in bed. He dressed silently and spent ten minutes washing. After hearing the parents who were asleep in the next room, he also heard the sound of wearing clothes.

Wang Chao is a high school sophomore in City C and is 16 years old this year. He is average in height, ordinary in appearance, and has a moderate academic record. The family condition is that the parents have already been laid off, and the monthly income of the two should not exceed 2,000 yuan.

Because of all this, Wang Chao's reticent introverted character was created.

Behind Wang Chao ’s house is a park. The park is close to the river. The park is densely wooded. The place is remote and dark. There is a path inside to reach the school.

Wang Chao likes to walk quietly by himself, and doesn't like the roads where cars travel. Going to school and going to school every day is the way to go.

The park is very quiet, there is no one, only occasionally a few sparrows chattering on the snow-covered treetops, jumping around, from time to time shaking down the snow on the trees, it adds a lot joy of life.

However, as Wang Chao slowly walked through a dense pine forest, he found that the figure was shaking.

"So early, do people come out for activities?" Wang Chao was curious and tried to look into the woods.

It turned out that the woman who was active in the woods was a woman in white sportswear, white running shoes, and a braided ponytail who was punching.

This woman is in her twenties, with slow movements, as if she is playing the popular Tai Chi frame in the society.

But Wang Chao looked at it for a while, but found something different.

Wang Chao found that the woman's eyes were always focused on her moving fingers.

She always stretched out her hand slowly, and then the five finger headshots caught like a crosshair, then quickly retracted.

This slowly went out, and quickly caught it back, reminding Wang Chao to touch the fish when he was a child: slowly dive his hand into the water, so that the fish will not notice it, and when the distance is close, he suddenly wins. The fish caught it.

Moreover, Wang Chao also found that the woman was punching and walking in a circle without stopping. The steps under her feet were always wading out on the ground, carefully, as if walking in muddy water.

Women's posture is not beautiful, but the whole body is moving between the movements of the one and the other, and the force is everywhere, giving Wang Chao a feeling of tumult.

Wang Chao looked fascinated and did not know how long it had been. The woman suddenly stopped exercising, her hands suddenly raised her eyebrows, and then slowly pressed down to her abdomen, her left foot stepped gently towards the ground, and she exhaled a long breath.

Wang Chao clearly saw that a long white gas shot straight from the woman's mouth, like a gas arrow shot suddenly.

"Is it possible to get out of breath?" Wang Chao was very surprised to see such a situation. He tried to blow his breath with all his strength.

It's a pity that the exhaled air met the cold air and only formed a white mist in front of him. Then it dissipated.

Wang Chao didn't believe it, and then blew a few more violently, so that his heart was beating faster, his eyes were golden flowers, or only a haze of white mist.

Just when Wang Chao tried hard to breathe, the woman came over, smiled slightly, and nodded, beckoning. Then he walked out of the woods and walked to the other side.

Arrived at the school, Wang Chao did not listen to a little class throughout the day. I always thought about the scene of a woman punching fist in the morning, and the more I thought, the more magical I felt.

He regretted it very much and didn't go up and talk to him.

The next morning, Wang Chao got up earlier, and when he passed the park path, he still found the woman who was punching.

Wang Chao came closer this time and watched outside the woods.

Although Wang Chao watched by the woods, the woman continued to punch without interruption until she finished a set of movements, still lifting her hands, pressing her abdomen, stepping on her feet, and exhaling.

The breath she exhaled met the cold air, and it still turned into a thin and long white line, shooting straight into the distance. Like an arrow.

After punching, the woman nodded and smiled at Wang Chao, the officer, with a gentle look. But he still didn't speak, and left like yesterday.

This has been the case for a few days. Wang Chao got up early every day and immediately ran to the park woods to watch the woman punching and found that no matter how early he got up, this woman was always in that place. It was only six o'clock in the morning, and he left on time.

Wang Chao summoned the courage to come forward several times, but when he spoke to his mouth, he couldn't speak.

Every time a woman finishes punching, she smiles and nods at Wang Chao. The expression is still very kind, which makes Wang Chao feel like a big sister.

After a week like this, although the two did not speak, Wang Chao felt familiar, and finally went up to talk when the woman was about to leave: "Sister, what martial arts are you practicing?"

The woman smiled and said, "I'm playing Guoshu."

"Guoshu ..." Wang Chao has also read many martial arts novels, only knowing the messy martial arts, "Nine Yin Bone Claws", "Falling Dragon and Eighteen Palms", "Toad Gong" and so on.

Wang Chao also knows that these things are fictitious. However, Guoshu has never heard of it.

But Wang Chao watched this woman practicing boxing for a week, and felt very magical. It was more beautiful than karate, taekwondo, Muay Thai, Sanda and the like outside.

"What is national art?" Wang Chao asked.

The woman still smiled and said: "Martial arts that only kill the enemy and don't perform are called Guoshu."

Wang Chao heard it, and felt more and more powerful, "Sister, can you teach me?"

The woman carefully looked at Wang Chao from top to bottom, and nodded. "You followed me for a week. It's still a bit of perseverance. What's your name?"

"My name is Wang Chao, I am sixteen years old, a sophomore. What is my sister's name?" Wang Chao self-reported his name.

"My name is Tang Zichen." The woman always smiled.

Wang Chao found that the skin of the sister Tang Zichen's face was smooth, without any flaws, like jade.

"You have a bad foundation. You have never practiced before, and your waist, legs, and feet are thin. If you want to learn, first teach you how to stand."

"Standing !!!" Wang Chao heard it, his head was a little big: "Sister Chen, this city, do you still need to teach?"

"Oh! Then you stand and try." Tang Zichen took two steps and motioned for Wang Chao to squat down.

Wang Chao immediately shook his arm away, squatted in the footsteps, his hands rose out flatly, motionless, squatting with stability. "Sister Chen, is that true?"

Tang Zichen didn't speak, just looked at with a smile.

After a while, Wang Chao's knees started to sore, and after a while, both legs began to tremble, his waist was sour, and then his body was hot and sweating on his forehead.

Wang Chao knew that he could not persevere, so he stood up and rubbed his sore knees, "Sister Chen, is that true?"

Tang Zichen shook his head: "You stand still like this, and you will only get waist muscle strain. Ma Bu, Ma Bu, the important thing is a horse, you have to stand out."

"Stand up for a Malay?" Wang Chao didn't understand.

"Have you ever seen a person riding a horse?" Tang Zichen no longer smiled. "People are galloping, and their bodies lie down with the horse. Ma Bu is the foundation of martial arts learned by the sages from horse riding, so when standing, Stand together one by one, stand out of the horse out of nowhere. "

"People are galloping on horses, the ups and downs are based on horses, so they can't work hard, but it's different on the flat ground. Your ups and downs are equivalent to integrating the horse into the body. You stand motionless, Keep your body centered on your knees. If you squat for a long time, your knees will definitely have problems. "

"There is this truth?" Wang Chao never thought of it, a simple posture, but contains so many things in it.

"You see how I squatted."

Tang Zichen said, and also pierced a horse, Wang Chao only saw her body lie down slightly, like a breeze blowing water waves.

"Come on, you come to squat." Tang Zichen gave a demonstration, and Wang Chao followed him to school.

"Squat must get to the sole of the foot first. When you get up, the five fingers on the sole of the foot must learn to stick to the ground like a chicken claw. When the five toes are pulled, the bones and muscles of the lower leg are pulled. , The thighs are taut, raise the waist, and abdomen. This is the strength. "

"You must learn ducks and geese, your fins, and your five fingers to loosen your palms. So your knees are loose, your thighs are loose, your waist is sitting, and your belly is bulging."

"Just between these slight ups and downs, keep changing the center of gravity of the whole body, so that the center of gravity will not fall on one place and cause physical damage."

Wang Chaoyue felt more and more reasonable, nodded again and again, following Tang Zichen's words.

At the beginning, Wang Chao couldn't do this together, but Tang Zichen was by his side. Whenever Wang Chao's strength didn't fall into place, she kicked with her foot.

The place where Wang Chao was kicked was like acupuncture, the muscles were stimulated, and the strength of the whole body was in one click.

"The amplitude of the ups and downs should not be large, that is, the distance of one inch of your toes. When you lie down together, you should always squat at this inch of distance. The more accurate, the better!" Tang Zichen was very strict when teaching.

Sure enough, after learning this together, Wang Chao's time was extended from the original five minutes to more than twenty minutes.

But after 20 minutes, Wang Chao felt a bit dizzy, and this one fell together, just like a seasickness, and his stomach was straight.

"Did you feel dizzy, like seasickness, vomiting?" Tang Zichen seemed to know Wang Chao's feelings.

Wang Chao nodded quickly.

"No need to stand, you get up, your lower body posture is in place, but the head is not in place. When standing, the head is empty."

"What is emptiness?" Wang Chao stood up and gasped for a long time before suppressing the nausea.

"This is the term in the Eight Diagrams Xingyi Men Quan Jing, which is also difficult to explain. You come with me." Tang Zichen thought for a while, "You will know on the embankment of the river!"

There is a big river outside the park. The newly built reinforced concrete embankment in the past few years is uplifted and old. The concrete steps on the embankment are dozens of levels, which are very steep.

Tang Zichen grabbed Wang Chao and stepped on the embankment.

Wang Chao just stood at Mabu Station and got a terrible knee ~ www.readwn.com ~ Now after such a toss, he climbed dozens of levels of concrete building, and his knees were sore that he could barely stand up.

"Look at this river view!"

Tang Zichen did not wait for Wang Chao to rest, pointing at the vast river in front.

Wang Chao also looked at it, only to feel that the river rushed forward, extremely wide, the water on the bank was turbulent, the snow on both sides was snow-covered, and the scenery was very pleasant.

Looking and watching, Wang Chao feels more comfortable all over his body, his legs are not sore, and his waist is not painful.

"Ascending the horizon, the vision is wide, the mood is relaxed, and the fatigue is relieved. This is the emptiness of the sky." Tang Zichen really made sense to Wang Chao like a big sister.

"When the horse is galloping, people have a particularly wide field of vision, so that they don't feel tired when riding horses. In the same way, when people are seasick, they stand on the deck, blow their hair, and look far away, they will not be dizzy."

"So, when standing on the horse, not only do you fall together, but you also need to be in place, you also have to open your eyes wide and have a high-level vision in it."

"This kind of horse step is the right one to stand. These are the truths in life, but people usually ignore them. It is the sages who summed them up and merged into martial arts. Martial arts are not myths, they are in In life, as long as you pay attention, you can turn decay into magic. "

Wang Chao listened to this and seemed to understand a lot at once.

He felt a door that he had never seen open slowly to himself.

"I have told you the truth and posture. You should practice for half a month. After half a month, wait for you here to see how well you stand out?"
