The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 127 Recruiting Familiarity, Understanding Strength, God
Since it is called [Tai Chi Gate], then the practice is naturally "Tai Chi Chuan".

Then supplement it with some other kung fu practices.

Hong Kang has gone through several worlds, and he has seen several kinds of [Taijiquan] boxing books.

Some are simple and complex, with clear techniques; some are simple and elegant, dignified and free;
Some are loose and natural, with compact frames; others are slow and continuous, neither vertical nor jumpy, good at softening...

Different schools of [Tai Chi] have different characteristics.

And the boxing method of [Tai Chi Gate] that Hong Kang is currently learning is different from what he has learned before.

In his memory, although he started late, he couldn't get the hands-on instruction from Peng Xiaowen himself.

But because of his young age, he could always be by the old man's side.

After Peng Xiaowen became disabled, Peng Ganwu, except for occasional visits at the beginning, was immersed in the mundane affairs of welcoming and sending off.

But Zhou Xiyu came to chat with Peng Xiaowen every few days, but it was not long every time, because he was also responsible for teaching some disciples.

In this way, Hong Kang, the little disciple, has been by Peng Xiaowen's side the longest.

The so-called "an old family is like a treasure".

Peng Xiaowen was too old to move his hands.

But his lifelong experience in martial arts is really precious and good stuff!
At that time, before Hong Kang's memory recovered, he was thinking about the last days, always being with the old man, so that the old man would feel better every day.

On weekdays, Peng Xiaowen passed on his lifelong knowledge of martial arts to Hong Kang intermittently.

Hong Kang at that time may not understand those martial arts principles very well.

But Hong Kang who has "woke up" is like a treasure.

Therefore,
In the past few days, he has been studying the kung fu in this world, the similarities and differences with what he learned in the previous world.

……

Before, it was either simply using physical strength, or condensing the inner strength of Qi and blood.

And in the experience summed up by Peng Xiaowen.

Learning Kung Fu can roughly go through three stages: recruiting familiarity, understanding strength, and gods.

Or it can also be called the three stages of "Zhaogong, Jingong, and Qigong".

The meaning of [招亲] is easy to understand, it is the literal meaning.

That is to be able to skillfully use the usage of each style of "Tai Chi".

Every style in "Tai Chi Chuan" has its own connotation of moves, but its general outline is nothing more than the eight methods of "pushing, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, pushing, elbowing, and leaning", combined with the "advance, retreat". , Gu, hope, set" five steps.

"Advance, retreat, look, hope, steadiness" is not purely footwork, but also includes body technique, technique and eye technique.

Peng Xiaowen once said to Hong Kang: "When I used to teach those rich and powerful children, I only needed to ensure that the movements were natural, soothing and elegant. Because they didn't learn Kungfu to fight with others. Suddenly, as long as they understand the usage and keep the intention Can."

"But we warriors, when we practice kung fu, we must work hard on the word "cooked"."

"Knowing a thousand tricks is not as good as knowing one!!"

And the so-called "knowledge strength" refers to the strength to understand the usage of "Tai Chi".

It's not that simple.

If you know one kind of strength, it is considered as [understanding strength], and if you know more than a dozen or even dozens of strength methods, it is also considered as [understanding strength].

The difference is huge.

Peng Xiaowen once said: "Our [Tai Chi Gate]'s kung fu energy is accumulated in the inside, emitted from the qi, dominated in the waist, and contained in the softness."

"It is the principle of listening to change and taking action, using detours to be straight, yin is not separated from yang, yang is not separated from yin, the weak overcomes the strong, and the soft overcomes the strong."

"But, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to practice it. To "enlighten yourself", you have to experience it in practice. You have to suffer first, and gain knowledge in the process of suffering."

This truth is naturally known by Hong Kang's realm knowledge.

But at this second step, the kung fu in this world is different from what Hong Kang knows.

Because, in this step, it is necessary to cultivate the sense of qi and pave the way for the cultivation of inner qi in the future.

Inner gas.

This is the most different place from the kung fu of the previous two worlds.

Because this is the way of "refining gas".

You can refine the essence of water and grain or your own essence into inner qi, know how to control the inner qi to run in the eight extraordinary meridians in the body, and use luck to achieve the effect of urging form with qi, combining form and qi, and cultivating both internal and external.

Hong Kang pondered carefully.

Because of the internal energy, martial arts practitioners are light in body and delicate in body, so people like Zhou Xiyu and Peng Ganwu can make various actions that seem to violate the laws of physics.

How effective it is will only be known when Hong Kang practices it himself.

But Hong Kang didn't feel that the kung fu in this world was flawless.

Indeed, "inner qi practice" seems to be miraculous!

For example, Zhou Xiyu and Peng Ganwu, who have not yet mastered their kung fu, can already fly over walls and jump four or five meters high;
In the later period, there was a method of hitting objects from a distance such as "Nine Dragons", and "Ape Strike", which is an extraordinary skill for obtaining extreme speed of the human body.

However, according to Hong Kang's observation, their physical bodies don't seem to be very strong? !
Among other things, Zhou Xiyu would be shot to death decades later? ? !

That didn't hit a vital point like the head, it was just in the chest and abdomen!

After Hong Kang reached the realm of "seeing God" in his previous life and became "the indestructible body of King Kong", his physical strength increased again.

The bullet penetrated less than one centimeter into the skin, and it would be firmly stuck by the muscles.

What's more, when Zhou Xiyu and Peng Ganwu fought before, Hong Kang could tell that their pure physical strength was only between [-] and [-] jin, regardless of their lightness skills.

There is almost ten times the difference from the peak period of my previous life! !

This is not Hong Kang's nonsense.

After two lifetimes of practice, nearly a hundred years, Hong Kang's understanding of the body is like reading a book in the palm of his hand.

Although he has not studied medical skills, when it comes to understanding the structure of various organs in the body, those top surgeons are not as clear as Hong Kanglai.

After all, since he can "see inside" and "see God", he can directly observe the inside of the human body that doctors can only observe through instruments.

Hong Kang can roughly judge the physical strength of Zhou Xiyu and Peng Ganwu from the figure, manner, and the sound of taking off and landing.

The reason, it can only be said roughly, is because of the power of "inner energy", there may be errors.

But even if there is an error, such a huge difference in physical strength gives Hong Kang confidence in his heart when facing the "inner qi" which can fly over walls.

As for the final [God] stage.

It is the use of "Taijiquan" to reach the state of perfection, which is the so-called "pure use of spirit".

Peng Xiaowen taught: "After understanding strength, the more you practice, the more you will become more refined, and you will gradually get what you want. At this time, there is no trick to win, and it seems to be unintentional. It seems that the intention is better than the intention. The four-two strokes of "Tai Chi" that outsiders say is actually Only a master at this level can do it.”

"And at this level, you are qualified to practice my [Tai Chi Gate]'s unique technique "Nine Dragons Combined"!"

"Otherwise, even if you get "Nine Dragons", you won't be able to practice it!"

"Akang, the first time I saw you, I found that you have amazing energy, blood, muscles, and bones, and you have a quick mind. I drew inferences from one instance, so I accepted you as a closed disciple."

"I hope that in the future, you can see yourself, the world, and all beings..."
