Chapter 21 021

In Ming Dynasty Huang Zongxi's "Epitaph of Wang Zhengnan" once said: "Shaolin is famous all over the world for its boxing and bravery. However, if the master fights people, people can take advantage of them. There are so-called internalists who stop with silence, and the offenders are ready to fight. Therefore, Bie Shaolin is an outsider family, founded by Zhang Sanfeng in Song Dynasty."

In terms of training methods, martial arts boxing can be generally divided into external boxing and internal boxing.

Waijiaquan pays attention to the external training of muscles and bones to strengthen muscles and bones and increase strength.

In terms of practice, most of them are swordsmanship, such as iron sand palm, throwing stele hands, etc. After practicing too much, calluses will grow on the hands, and some serious ones will completely deform the hands, and the appearance is swollen like steamed buns.

Neijiaquan, on the other hand, combines Taoist inner elixir health-preserving techniques, such as Tai Chi and Baguazhang, on the basis of Waijiaquan. It is practiced externally and nourished internally in a step-by-step manner.

The origin of the real "waijia" is that they became monks, transcended the world, and pursued the pure land of bliss in the West.

The "inner family" is a Taoist priest who leads a practice. He can marry a wife and have children, and share the family relationship at home, so he becomes an inner family.

The internal and external concepts are different, and the boxing and martial arts that flow out are naturally different.

To put it simply, one can be learned quickly and the other is difficult to get started with. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the Drunken Eight Immortals Fist practiced by Chen Hao can be regarded as a type of internal boxing because it takes the image of the Taoist Eight Immortals and absorbs part of the piles of Baguazhang in the pile technique.

As for the "Iron Sand Palm", "Eagle Claw Fist" and "Dragon Claw Hand" mentioned in his grandfather's notes, most of them are foreign fists handed down from the 72 stunts of Northern Shaolin.

There are 36 external skills and 36 internal skills in Northern Shaolin, both internal and external, combined to form the 72 unique skills that everyone is familiar with.

In addition, Shaolin Temple has lay disciples all over the world. There are countless examples of people who have learned martial arts and then entered the world to form their own sect.

For example, on the official website of the Wushu Association, there are dozens of schools of martial arts training for Iron Sand Palm alone.

The "Iron Sand Palm" training method in front of Chen Hao is a style further optimized by the ancestors of Drunken Master combined with the Iron Sand Palm of Northern Shaolin.

"Put rice first, then sand, and finally gravel."

"Combined with Dieda medicinal wine for external application and internal administration, and practice over time, the hands will become harder until the skin membrane and fist bones are as thick as iron, and you will achieve great success."

"This external skill is really brave and diligent when practiced, short and rough!" Chen Hao looked carefully at the specific training method of this iron sand palm, and then compared it with the drunken eight immortals who have practiced for more than ten years and still can't realize their own boxing intentions. Emotion.

……

Seeing that the sun had not yet set, after sitting and resting for a while, Chen Hao went to a supermarket outside the ancient street and brought back a large bag of rice.

The reason why rice is used to practice iron sand palm is because rice itself has strong water absorption.

The faster the moisture in the hands is lost, the surface layer of the skin will secrete a layer of sebum. This layer of sebum can not only protect the skin of the hands, but also accelerate the formation of the cuticle of the hands.

According to the description in my grandfather's notes, the rice used for this initial practice of iron sand palm cannot be japonica rice.

Because the surface of japonica rice is too round and smooth, the friction force is not as good as that of slender indica rice.

In order to better meet the requirements of practicing, Chen Hao simply picked a bag of imported Thai-style fragrant rice.

This thing is the most slender indica rice variety that Chen Hao can buy nearby. The two hairs are pointed. If you look closely, it looks like a short needle has been compressed. In addition, it has a low moisture content, and its water absorption is stronger than that of ordinary indica rice.

"Shasha~"

"Shasha~"

Returning to the martial arts hall, he found a basin and poured the fragrant rice into it. Chen Hao began to stand up and stabbed the rice grains with both hands.

That itchy, prickly pain is more than a hundred times stronger than stealing rice vats from players when I was a child!
In addition to yesterday's martial arts competition with Song Shijie, there were still fresh blood scabs on the fist bones.

At this moment, when the rice was pierced hard, the blood scabs peeled off naturally under the friction of the rice grains.

"Hiss~ This feeling is really terrible!" Chen Hao took a breath of cold air.

Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and he has suffered a lot, so he gritted his teeth for this kind of external kung fu practice and survived.

"Shasha~"

"Shasha~"

As the speed of thrusting into the basin increased, Chen Hao's face became more and more distorted, and new scratches began to appear on the skin of his hands.

If you look closely, you can see traces of blood all over the back of his hands.

Because the skin on the back of the hand is more delicate than the palm.

Fortunately, hard work paid off. Under the influence of the aura of [Skill Acceleration], a brand new skill quickly popped up on the data panel:
【Name: Chen Hao】

[Realm: Middle Dark Strength]

【技能：醉拳Lv1（135/200）、铁砂掌Lv0（2/50）】

【Source: 0.12】

[Halo: Skill Acceleration (23:01)]

"I remember when Drunken Fist was level 0, the upper limit of proficiency was 100 points."

"Iron Sand Palm's upgrade proficiency is only half of Drunken Fist's!"

"Is it because of the quick success of external skills?"

"The simpler the kung fu, the shorter the progress bar?" Chen Hao's heart moved.

Seeing the 1-point proficiency of Iron Sand Palm jumping up every few minutes, the visible strengthening made Chen Hao practice more vigorously.

It wasn't until two hours later, when the night gradually fell, his stomach began to growl, his footsteps were sloppy, and his ears were dizzy, that Chen Hao took his hands out of the rice bowl.

At this time, the proficiency of [Iron Sand Palm Lv0] had reached (23/50), and the efficiency was so fast that even Chen Hao himself was a little dumbfounded!

It's just that the price paid for such a rapid improvement is also not small.

After pulling his hands out of the rice bowl, Chen Hao found that his hands were bloody, as if they had been rubbed on a kitchen grater, and the palms and backs of his hands were scratched to varying degrees.

"Waigong and Waijiaquan are just like monks practicing meditation. The most feared thing is to go crazy when practicing."

"It seems that in the next few days, before the injury is healed, we can no longer practice hastily." Chen Hao sighed in his heart, knowing that he was practicing in a hurry.

Fortunately, Chen Hao often encountered this kind of situation when he was practicing boxing in the past.

Enduring the itching of his hands, Chen Hao first went to the office to pick up the unused bottle of Dieda wine and took two sips.

When the strength of the wine came up, his mind started to feel a little dizzy, and most of the pain was numb with the alcohol, so he applied the external application of Dieda wine evenly on the wounds on his hands.

"Sigh~"

"This feeling...is too good!" Chen Hao grinned in pain, his expression distorted, as if wearing a mask of pain.

This guy is probably a born ruthless person!
Applying wine to such dense flesh wounds is the kind of medicinal wine that is specially designed to treat bruises.

The heart-wrenching pain and the stinging sensation of a foreign object invading the wound are enough to make one's scalp numb just thinking about it.

But after applying the medicinal wine, this guy endured the pain and bandaged himself, and then cleaned up the messy martial arts hall inside and out.

I stuffed the two notebooks left by my grandfather that I had been looking through for half an afternoon into a backpack and carried them with me.

Only then did he close the gate and go out with confidence, slipped to the ancient street to find some delicious food, and rewarded his internal organs.

……

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

Just as soon as he left the quiet martial arts hall, Chen Hao heard the unusual sound of gongs and drums from the embankment in the distance.

Looking for the reputation, I saw a group of young and middle-aged men carrying slender dragon boats, shouting "Hey Yo Hey Yo" under the watchful eyes of the melon-eating crowd, walking slowly towards the cruise ship wharf under the embankment amidst a group of beating gongs and drums. Move slowly.

"Dragon boat rowing?"

"Is it almost the Dragon Boat Festival again?"

"Time flies so fast!"

Chen Hao's heart moved, he quickened his pace, and also squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement for a while.

Because Heyang City is located at the intersection of three rivers, the water system is developed, and the whole city has a culture of worshiping dragon totems.

Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, such dragon boat rowing activities are held.

Although it is not as exquisite as the areas with well-developed ancestral temples in Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian, but watching the dragon boat entering the water up close, there is still a special cultural heritage.

I saw a small altar set up at the cruise ship pier. There were stacks of pots and pans on the platform containing chickens, ducks, pig heads, and various fruit plates.

A Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes and holding a wooden sword, rang the bell and shouted: "The Dragon King is on patrol, the evil spirits retreat...the weather is good, the country is safe and peaceful..." and other sacrificial rites.

When the memorial ceremony was over, the Taoist priest strode to the dragon boat, reached out and picked it off, muttering something in his mouth, taking off the red cloth covering the dragon's eyes, and then dipped a willow branch in water and smeared it on.

This is the finishing touch ceremony in dragon boat rowing. Like the dragon boats in Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian, most of them are buried in rivers and ponds when they are not in use.

The dragon boats in Heyang City are enshrined in the temples in the ancient streets, and are nourished by the atmosphere of human smoke and incense.

As for the eyes of the dragon head, they usually cover the dragon's eyes with a red cloth. This is because they are afraid that the dragon king will wake up early and there will be too much rain, causing rivers to flood and flood the city.

With the beating of gongs and drums on the pier, the young men carrying the dragon boat pushed the "awakened" dragon boat into the water of the Sanjiang River, and the dragon raising ceremony was truly over.

The next few days were spent boarding boats and paddling, swimming and racing dragons in the river, and finally collecting and hiding the dragons.

The customs are different from place to place, and some details are also slightly different.

Just looking at it, Chen Hao felt that the back of his right hand was slightly hot. The Ouroboros brand wrapped in gauze actually reacted a little at that moment!
Chen Hao thought that this reaction was caused by the scratches from practicing Iron Sand Palm before, so he didn't take it seriously despite the gauze.

Mixing in the crowd, I ordered some white rice dumplings that the staff on the ancient street distributed to everyone.

I picked a few and tasted them while walking. I felt that they were not enough to satisfy me, so I decided to find a better restaurant with meat and fish dishes.

After all, practicing martial arts takes quite a lot of energy, and after working hard all afternoon, you should eat something good.

"Brother, do you want to buy a sachet and a colorful rope?"

"It can drive away evil spirits and avoid plague, pray for Najib! It can also be given as a gift to your girlfriend!"

At this time, a little girl selling Dragon Boat Festival handicrafts along the street stopped in front of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao saw that she was dressed very well. He looked up and looked into the distance and found that the little girl's parents were still setting up a stall selling mugwort and calamus. Knowing that this was where the whole family came out to experience life and make some extra money, he stretched out his handbag Gauze gestured with his hand: "Big brother is a hard-working single, so all he needs is a sachet and a colorful rope."

"Thank you big brother! I wish big brother find a beautiful girlfriend soon!"

The little girl's mouth felt like honey. Seeing Chen Hao scan the QR code and pay, the little girl ran back to the stall happily, showed off to her parents, and picked out an exquisite sachet and colorful rope and stuffed them into Chen Hao's hand. .

Every night on this ancient street, there are vendors setting up stalls in various tricks to harvest tourists. Chen Hao has been accustomed to this after living nearby for more than [-] years.

If it weren't for the little girl's well-behaved and sensible nature, and the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, he wouldn't have spent money to buy these gadgets.

Just as he got the sachet and colorful rope, the damn data panel in the upper right corner of Chen Hao's line of sight unexpectedly responded again without warning!

　Second update~ It’s a bit late. I went to bed and will continue tomorrow.

　　PS: The timeline of the main character is actually similar to ours. It’s really embarrassing. When the design was finalized, it was originally planned to be released in September, but it was destined to be changed to June, which is almost the Dragon Boat Festival.
