Modern longevity: starting from Baduanjin

Chapter 239 Zhou Shen, the 27th generation master of Xinyi Liuhe Boxing School, please give me your advice!
Cao Kaicheng is a famous gossip boxer. He practiced martial arts at the age of 6 and began to stand at the age of 16. He is 76 years old this year.

It is precisely because of this persistence that although there has never been any marketing and publicity, it is still quite famous in the domestic traditional martial arts circle.

It's a pity that traditional martial arts are on the decline, especially after 2000, the number of people who come to sign up to learn Bagua boxing has dropped sharply. The store has also been open.

And those colleagues who opened the martial arts gym with him back then either changed their careers early, or turned the martial arts gym into a Sanda training class, a taekwondo gym, and a gym. It's a restaurant, and it's miserable to say the least.

Cao Kaicheng has already reached the age of caring for his life, and he seldom comes to the boxing gym. He is handed over to the son of an apprentice. Anyway, no one comes to learn. The boxing gym is usually used as one of the few in the city. A gathering place for some traditional martial arts enthusiasts.

But in the past few days, his heart, which had long been unable to shake a wave, began to stir again.

Because at the Tokyo Olympics, Zhou Shen, a Chinese athlete, ran 100 seconds for the 4 meters, and some martial artists recognized that the footwork he used when running was [Xingyiquan Huaicongbu] and [Baguazhang] ·Walk in the mud], this can be said to have dropped a bomb in the traditional martial arts of Huaguo.

As a compatriot of Baguaquan and Baguazhang, the footwork between the two is the same, especially the mud step, the practice method and the technique of exerting energy are exactly the same, and as a famous Baguaquan master, he has naturally been praised by many people focus on.

No, many people came to communicate and learn, and some even came to learn from teachers.

So he usually went to the park to play boxing and chess in the morning, but these days he made an exception and came to the boxing gym on the side of the pedestrian street.

As a result, as soon as he went upstairs, he heard Zhou Shen's conversation.

When I first heard what Zhou Shen said, I felt quite reasonable, but when I heard Zhou Shen say "I haven't practiced Zhuang Gong", his expression was the same as Song Qingwen's, and he almost lost his blood. Spit it out.

Seeing that Song Qingwen lost his temper, Cao Kaicheng walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaowen, did you forget what I told you?"

Young people, who practice martial arts, which one is not vigorous?It is easy to be provoked and fight violently. If you are injured, you will lose money. If the beating is serious, you will not only lose money but also go to jail, which is not worth it.

Song Qingwen was excited: "Master, he..."

"I know!" Cao Kaicheng signaled him to be calm, turned his head and cupped his fists at Zhou Shen and said, "Young man, have you ever heard a saying that practicing boxing does not practice piles, but wandering around? Martial arts practitioners must To learn moves, you need to lay down solid basic skills. If learning boxing is likened to building a skyscraper, then pile training is the foundation of the building, which is directly related to the stability of the building.”

"Whether it is the internal boxing represented by Wudang or the external boxing represented by Shaolin, both internal and external training are required when practicing, and the two are indispensable."

After a pause, Cao Kaicheng followed, "From the perspective of internal training, the adjustment of Qi and blood, the cultivation of spirit, energy and spirit, and the cultivation of mind and consciousness all have to be done through pile exercises."

"In terms of training, the strength of muscles, the bearing capacity of bones, and the anti-strike ability of internal organs, etc. also need to be completed through pile training. The horse-step pile is just an excellent one that can meet the requirements of both. pile method!"

Zhou Shen took a look at the old man with white beard and hair in front of him, and said to himself: "It seems that this is Cao Kaicheng, the master of Cao Bagua boxing! Judging by his walking steps and breathing, his level is really average. It shows strength, even a half-step Mingjin like Yoshida Koichi is far behind!"

He was slightly disappointed in his heart, but then he reacted, "Master Ming Jin can already be called a master of a generation in this modern society. How can such a master be encountered casually?"

He then smiled and said, "I don't object to this outside the practice, but I disagree with what you said about the inside of the practice. I don't think stances can regulate Qi and blood, cultivate energy and spirit, and cultivate mind awareness."

"On the contrary, I think standing posture is not only not good for internal training, but has disadvantages. It is very simple. When a person is standing posture, part of his energy must be scattered outside the body to endure the pain of flesh, muscles and bones. Keep an eye out for changes in posture?"

"This kind of behavior is similar to one mind and two purposes. How can you achieve what you call regulating Qi and blood and cultivating essence, energy, and spirit?"

Song Qingwen was so angry that he couldn't help but said, "You disagree, who do you think you are?"

"Xiaowen!" Cao Kaicheng scolded, "The more you argue, the clearer the truth! Since people put forward different opinions, you can also express your own opinions to refute, instead of being so arrogant and unreasonable, what is this?"

"Master, he's just making trouble for no reason..."

"What is unreasonable trouble? Chinese martial arts is the experience and lessons summed up by countless ancestors in actual combat. Everyone can express their own opinions. You can't stop others from talking."

"Okay Master, I was wrong!"

Song Qingwen admitted his mistake, but it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied.

However, Cao Kaicheng didn't talk about him anymore, but turned around and said: "Young man, it's okay for you to raise doubts. You can also have your own understanding and opinions, but all of this must be based on practice."

"Practicing Zhan Zhuang can regulate Qi and blood, cultivate energy and spirit, and cultivate mind awareness. It is not what I said, but the true knowledge summed up by countless martial arts predecessors in practice. We learn and inherit on the basis of these martial artists. Naturally There are also traces.”

"And what you said, how do you prove it?"

Zhou Shen grinned and said: "Master Cao, what you said may be reasonable, but it is not rigorous enough! Have you seen Qi? Do you know what Qi is like? Do you know how Qi moves in the meridians? You say you It’s learning inheritance, do you know that sometimes the difference between one word and the other can be thousands of miles away, are you sure that what you learn and inherit must be correct?”

"..."

In the face of Zhou Shen's series of inquiries, Cao Kaicheng felt a feeling of "playing the piano with a cow", and also felt that the other party was a bit messy and unreasonable.

At this time, the apprentices who were practicing boxing and traditional martial arts fans all surrounded him.

Zhou Shen paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I know this master must think that I am a master, but martial arts is the same as Chinese medicine. You must have a thorough understanding instead of following the script. Otherwise, practicing it will not only be useless, but harmful!"

After being told by Zhou Shen, Cao Kaicheng blushed, and immediately denied it, saying: "How could it be? The reason is naturally becoming clearer and clearer."

The onlookers couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "You're a big talker, you talk a lot, and you say a lot of big and empty things, but there's really no use for it."

Another young man followed up: "Yeah, who can't brag? I can brag too! Isn't it just bullshit? Come on, I'm also a master of bullshit. I think it's okay to follow the textbook, at least the things in the textbook are all in the industry. Compiled by professionals, don’t we listen to what’s in the textbook and listen to your nonsense here?”

"That's right, who do you think you are?"

"It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk..."

Everyone yelled at Zhou Shen together.

Hearing what everyone said, Zhou Shen not only didn't get angry, but laughed and said, "Okay, everyone get out of the way, and I will show you what is real internal boxing?"

When everyone heard the words, "Hula" dispersed at once, and they all geared up, waiting to hurt him for a while.

Zhou Shen clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Zhou Shen, the 27th generation head of Xinyi Liuhe Boxing School, please give me your advice!"

"Xinyi Liuhe Fist?"

"This guy is talking too much, but he is still a sect master, isn't he bragging?"

"Hahaha, who can't brag, I can brag too, I am the 10086th generation inheritor of Bagua boxing, what's the use? I'm just deceiving myself and others."

"Zhou Shen, I seem to have heard this name somewhere, it's very familiar..."

As the saying goes, it’s dark under the lights. Everyone discusses the legendary Olympic champion Zhou Shen who ran 4 meters in 30 seconds on the Internet every day, but even if they are killed, they dare not think that Zhou Shen will come to Yizheng City and Cao’s Boxing Gym to be with them Here is the argument.

While everyone was discussing, Zhou Shen waved his empty hands, and then began to practice "Xingyiquan".

His Xingyi Quan combines many kinds of boxing techniques, such as Xinyiquan, Baguazhang, Bajiquan, Qixingquan and Wing Chunquan.

Although the framework of Xingyiquan and Xinyiquan is still retained in the movements, the core has been completely changed. You can do whatever you want, and the route of punching is also unpredictable and unpredictable.

But this is secondary, the key point is that Zhou Shen has already practiced to the state of transformation, with "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound" in every move, even if he has completely restrained his "fist intention", but the power of the thunderous fist in the silent place cannot be concealed.

A punch was thrown out, and there was a muffled thunder in the air. The faces of the people who were joking and waiting to see the joke were all changed into stunned expressions.

Immediately following the Paoquan combined with the tiger shape, the whole person jumped up suddenly, like a real downhill tiger. The skin rubbed against the air, making a trembling sound. There was a muffled "boom" sound.

For a while, there were fist shadows and thunder in the boxing gym.

Sometimes Zhou Shen's body was as heavy and powerful as falling steel, sometimes as light as a leaf fluttering, and then as swift as a breeze. Every punch was accompanied by bursts of thunder and roars of tigers.

"Fuck! What's that sound?"

"It's like muffled thunder."

"No, it's clearly the voice of a tiger."

"My god, the sound seems to come from the fist and body of this week or something."

"Are you kidding? How could a person's fist make thunder... It really must come from his fist body. Why is that?"

Everyone in the boxing gym was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes and ears.

And Cao Kaicheng was stunned in shock, "Is this the legendary tiger and leopard Leiyin? My God, he has actually practiced to the legendary transformation state... He, he, who is he?"

Cao Kaicheng fell into madness, desperately denying in his mind, he told himself, this is impossible, in this age of martial arts withering, it is impossible for anyone to be able to practice to this level.

But the scene before him reminded him that this was a real thing.

"Who can tell me what's going on..."

It's a pity that Cao Kaicheng doesn't read online novels, otherwise he would most likely be the same as Master Shanzheng, and ask: Could it be that the spiritual energy has recovered?

After Zhou Shen finished a set of boxing techniques, the whole boxing gym was completely silent.

He smiled and said: "Practicing Zhuang Gong is fine, but you must not divide your mind into two tasks. What is said is that you should practice both internal and external. The outside is the outside, and the inside is the inside. Don't mix it up. It will get twice the result with half the effort, and you may even develop problems!"

People don't speak.

"By the way, the longevity formula that has been circulating on the Internet recently, you can practice it if you have nothing to do. This is a real Qi training formula, but don't practice it while standing up. This is a big taboo! Remember it."

After a pause, Zhou Shen smiled at Cao Kaicheng and said, "Master Cao, then I'll take a step first, see you by fate!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, thinking to himself: "At first I planned to go to Hailing to have a look, but forget it now, just go back to Linhuai, and then take the high-speed train to Jinmen as planned, all the way north."

He had just left with his front foot, when Song Qingwen suddenly reacted with his back foot, and said excitedly: "I know who he is, I know who he is..."

"who is he?"

"It's him, you know...the one who runs fast." Song Qingwen couldn't remember the name that came to his lips, and he stomped his feet anxiously.

Cao Kaicheng finally remembered, and said tremblingly, "Is he that Olympic champion Zhou Shen?"

"Yes, it's him!"
