Chapter 9 Dilemma
Time flies. It is already around December in the south of the Yangtze River. The temperature in Hangzhou is not low at this time, but the moisture in the air always penetrates the necks of pedestrians on the way, telling people the arrival of winter.
Qin Mu completed his doctoral thesis a month ago, but his supervisor intended to keep him as a postdoctoral fellow and would stay in school to teach in the future. Therefore, Qin Mu began his postdoctoral research career in advance. It was not until a few days ago that he asked his supervisor for a long vacation and left to go north.
He practiced the foreign martial arts that he had practiced in Xiaonao World since he was a child. After he was fifteen years old, he practiced Wing Chun with his master Liang Chong. He thought he had been in contact with martial arts for twenty years. At this time, he had just practiced the secret energy thoroughly. Not to mention that he was the protagonist of the dragon and snake, Wang Chao, but he was in comparison with all kinds of geniuses in the world.
But it would be even more nonsense to say that he was not talented. After three years of studying Wing Chun, his master Liang Chong had nothing to teach him.
Liang Chong once said to him with a complicated face when he was defeated by Qin Mu for the first time: "I don't know how much I have taught you. You are unwilling to learn my martial arts. This is your ambition, but you must understand that it is compatible with the hundreds of schools and the Grandmaster Fang Cheng."
Although Liang Chong's sect is the origin of Wing Chun, it is very different from the current Wing Chun practiced by Qin Mu. Liang's Wing Chun is still the inheritance of Yongchun White Crane Fist and has also practiced Hongquan. However, the Wing Chun practiced by Qin Mu is inclined to the fighting style passed down by Ip Man. The most obvious difference is probably "no tiger or crane in shape."
When Ip Man founded his own school of Wing Chun in Hong Kong, he further broke away from the rut of Wing Chun White Crane Fist, and instead introduced many Western theories of fighting in the West. However, if he completely transformed Wing Chun into a fighting technique, it is not. The first set of "small thoughts" that Wing Chun needs to practice is the essence of his Wing Chun boxing. The so-called small thoughts are wrong, and they will be wrong for life; practicing martial arts is like this and being a human being is like this. It is precisely because of his inclusiveness that he has achieved the reputation of Wing Chun today and a generation of masters.
But although this has become the basis for Wing Chun's prosperity and development today, it is also the reason why Wing Chun will never see the master appear again after Ip Man.
The foundation of Chinese martial arts often comes from imitation of animals, and the Xingyi comes from the Five Animals Playing, so there is a method of twelve forms. The Tai Chi legend comes from Zhang Sanfeng's observation of snakes and cranes fighting. Baguazhang even says that "the shape is like a dragon, looking like a monkey guarding, sitting like a tiger lying, and turning like an eagle plate."
After Ip Man's Wing Chun abandoned the Baihe Sect's technique, it became more concise and easier to learn, but it was even more difficult to cultivate the spirit. This is because Ip Man did not create his Wing Chun's unique method of marrow training. There was no way out for successors, so Wing Chun later emerged many talents, but it was difficult to find a master.
Qin Mu naturally had his plans to choose this method of successors. He was born with a strong spirit. When practicing small thoughts, Wing Chun can be said to have made rapid progress. More importantly, he found that the practice of small thoughts gradually made his spirit more lively and lively. Although the quantity did not increase, the quality was different from the past. Therefore, although he understood that there would be obstacles in the future, he still insisted on practicing Ip Man Wing Chun.
He used to think that although this martial arts was flawed, he had been a human being for four generations, and his martial arts experience was far better than that of people in this life. In the future, he was 80% sure to create a method of marrow cleaning.
But later he discovered that it was not that Ip Man was unwilling to create the method of marrow cleaning, but that the founder of this martial arts did not create achievements first and then break through that barrier, but that he achieved success and made a breakthrough naturally, and in turn summarized the methods of breakthrough and spread it to future generations.
The words "Tiger and Leopard" in Xingyi Gate, "Tai Chi" fishing toad force, and "Baji Gate" hum and ha, are all like this. It would be a joke to say that Ip Man did not enter Hua Jin, but in the inheritance he left behind, there were only a few words about Hua Jin, and it was just a few mysterious sentences like Buddhist verses talking about cultivating the mind.
This is the power to cheat the apprentice.
Therefore, although Qin Mu practiced quickly and was extremely talented, he still scratched his ears and faces at this point, and had no clue. He has only practiced the dark energy to the most flexible limbs, but the most important organs and heads are not enough to make progress. These two places are so exquisite that if the spine is not practiced through the method of marrow washing, then Qin Mu's blood mass at this time cannot enter the tiny blood vessels with his thoughts without harming his body. Therefore, his practice is the limit.
It was not that he was thinking about finding the method of marrow cleaning to practice. Liang Chong had a good relationship with several Taoist sects in Wudangshan, and even Mangniu Jin and Fishing Chan Jin Qin Mu had seen it, but the more he read it, the more he understood that the method of marrow cleaning by others was not suitable for him.
The so-called martial arts schools are called "The Flirting Palm" in Xingyi Sect, and even if those sects without superior skills are excluded, they may be more than one hundred. However, if you talk about fighting methods, there is actually no big difference between each school and a sect. The siege Yin Palm in the Bagua Sect is called "The Turning Wind and Bengquan in the Xingyi Sect, and "The Flicking Body Hiding in the Taiji Sect. The names are different, but the movements are the same. Therefore, there are also Bagua in the Jianghu, which is also Taiji, Taiji is also Xingyi, and Xingyi is also the saying.
Not to mention that the practice methods of Xinyi Liuhequan and Xingyiquan are very different, but the two techniques are used, and there are very different ways. Martialists with a little bit of vision can recognize them, so the fighting method and even the practice method are not the fundamental difference between a martial art.
If you want to practice a skill at the top level, you must have the spirit of a skill and understand the philosophy of this skill. For example, if you practice Xingyi, the twelve forms must not only be similar in shape, but also practice just like you are a dragon or a snake. Therefore, in the end, there will naturally be a sound of tigers and leopards in your body, washing the meridians and cutting the marrow. The Tai Chi comes from the art of practicing Qi, so when you practice, you must breathe the qi of heaven and earth like a golden toad, and temper the five swellings and six internal organs. The rest are like this.
Therefore, the method of marrow cleaning is not a method created by humans, but a method of self-generating the Tao.
But Qin Mu practiced Wing Chun, where could he practice Tai Chi's marrow cleaning method? Although there are masters in the world who are proficient in Tai Chi Xingyi Bagua, such as Sun Lutang, if one method is not pure, he cannot talk about it. He can only practice one of the sects to the extreme and then refer to other martial arts to continue to improve. If the basic method is mentioned, it cannot be modified without any modification.
Therefore, Qin Mu had been in this dilemma of no way ahead for a year.
He naturally understood that if he could not understand himself, he would need to give guidance from famous teachers, but those who could give him guidance in this regard were all people who transformed the spirit, and even those who would practice thoroughly could inspire him. If such masters were said to be the Republic of China, which had a prosperous national martial arts, there would be only three or five people. If you want to find them again, you would be even more looking for a needle in a haystack.
But he is familiar with Dragon and Snake and knows that at least one person can help him. This is the goal of his trip. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
