Chapter Three: Skill Theory
Chang Sihao put his hand on the pain between his chest and ribs, recalling the bloody battle with Fan Bingcheng that day, he couldn't help but shuddered, and asked infatuatedly: "What... is considered a body skill?"
Old Man Baofu pointed to the jumping carp in the depression: "Haha, you, what it lacks is the energy in it!"
The two of them cleaned up the fish by the water and returned to the thatched cottage. Xiao Zhuizi was feeding Chen Sheng chicken soup in the back room. The old man washed the pot and stewed the fish. When he saw Chang Sihao standing there with his eyes straight, he knew that he was still thinking about the carp.
. Smiled lightly, ignored him, and went to knead the dough and steam the buns.
After a while, the aroma filled the pot, and the delicious flavor hit his nostrils. Xiaozhuizi came out of the back room, washed the bowl, raised his nose and smelled, and said with a smile: "It smells so good!" He went to the pot and took off the lid to see the heat. He couldn't help but be surprised.
: "Wow, why did you stew so much today? No wonder it's so delicious." Seeing Chang Sihao staring at the setting sun in a daze, covering his mouth with a ghostly smile, he tiptoed to touch his back, suddenly turned his head sideways and made a face,
Chang Sihao was shocked.
Xiaozhuizi put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiaoque'er, what are you thinking about?"
Chang Sihao was confused: "What little bird?"
Xiaozhuo held his lower lip in his mouth, holding back his laughter, tapping one of his little feet on the ground, looking down Chang Sihao's chest and abdomen, but stopped between his legs, and gave a small mouth
Son: "That's it."
Chang Sihao's dark face turned red, and he subconsciously covered his crotch. Suddenly he realized that he was wearing clothes, so he let go without any embarrassment.
"Dang." A cigarette pot was gently knocked on the head of the pendant. It turned out to be old man Baofu. He scolded in a dumbfounded voice: "How old are you, stinky girl? You are not serious yet. Every little girl talks such crazy things."
, what does it look like?”
Xiao Zhuangzi rubbed his head and said angrily: "Since we live by the Yellow River, even the people in Fengbo, Xiaozhuang and Erniu swim naked in the Yellow River. I haven't seen anyone's bird? Originally?
He’s not as big as anyone else, so what’s wrong with calling him Brother Xiaoqueer?”
Old Man Baofu said: "You are too arrogant as a child. You just played around when you were young. Now you are getting older day by day. You will become a big girl. In two years, when you are fourteen, you will get married."
If you continue to be in such a mess, how can you get married?"
Xiao Zhuangzi hugged his arm and laughed: "It's better not to get married. I'll stay at home with my father-in-law for the rest of my life, rubbing your legs, beating your back, and catching fish. Isn't it great?" Her two big black and white eyes were full of hope.
Looking at the old man, Jiuduo smiled charmingly.
Old Man Baofu pinched her round nose and twisted it: "Children always say silly things." But he felt sweet in his heart and said: "We children of the Yellow River ride the wind and waves every day and face thousands of dangers. We should be bold and unruly.
But being heroic is not frivolous. There should be rules and there must be rules. How can you make fun of people indiscriminately? Please apologize to your little brother Hao."
Xiaozhuizi jumped away and pouted: "No."
Old man Baofu's face darkened: "Why, you are disobedient?" Chang Sihao hurriedly stopped him: "Forget it, forget it, it's just a joke, why should I apologize?" Old man Baofu sighed: "This child's parents are dead.
It’s so early, I’ve spoiled you!” He added with emphasis: “Xiao Zhuangzi, stop messing around with the boys in the village, go find Sifeng and the others, and learn from needlework!”
Xiaozhuizi's head shook like a rattle: "No, no, no. They don't know how to play anything, except playing shuttlecock and hopscotch. It's not interesting at all. Look at them tinkering with needlework, embroidering fish hooks, and slowly dancing.
, Ouch, ouch, I’m so annoyed.”
Old Man Baofu felt sorry for her in the end. He knelt down and shook his head to smoke. He had no choice but to do anything. Xiaozhuangzi went around behind his back, put his hands around his neck, and said with a smile: "Father, don't be angry. Xiaozhuizi listens to you the most. At best, I won't follow Xiaozhuang's words in the future."
They just catch loaches for fun."
Old Man Baofu snorted: "Are you still trying to trick me with your dirty tricks? You don't catch loaches with them, but you fly harpoons with them, dig out bird eggs, and block chimneys. Isn't it the same?"
"Hey! The fish is stewed, it's time to eat, it's time to eat!" Xiaozhuizi jumped to set the table and serve the dishes, as cheerfully as a little swallow.
Old Man Baofu knew that she was interrupting, so he had no choice but to let her go.
After taking the first bite of fish, Chang Sihao felt hungry. Hungry is something that becomes worse when it is too strong. If you don't eat, you won't feel anything. As soon as something comes into your stomach, you will immediately feel that your stomach is empty.
The fish was also delicious and fragrant. He devoured it like a wolf, and out of the five big carps, he swallowed three and a half.
Old Man Baofu smiled and reminded: "Although the fish is not small, but with the head spines and internal organs removed, each fish is only three or four pounds of meat, and it is easy to digest. There is no harm in eating more. But don't eat this steamed bun first. You drink it."
If you put a lot of fish soup and noodles into your belly, I'm afraid it will soak up and burst your belly."
Chang Sihao thought that he was a guest at someone else's house, but he was immersed in eating alone. His face turned red and he lowered his head. Looking at the fish bones on the table, he suddenly thought about it, thought for a moment, and said happily: "I understand!"
The pendant held the spoon in its mouth: "Huh? Xiao...Xiao Hao, what do you understand?" She originally wanted to call Brother Xiao Que, but she was afraid that the old man Baofu would be angry, but she suppressed her laughter and endured it. She just called Xiao Hao, but she refused.
Bring the word "brother" to show your submission.
Old man Baofu looked at him with a smile and gestured to continue.
Chang Sihao pointed to the fish bone: "This fish has no limbs, only one spine, so the whole body is one. And although human limbs are all grown on the body, they are independent of each other. The strength of the hand is in the hand, and the strength of the leg is in the body."
The legs cannot be combined into one. When I fought with the soldiers, I only used the strength of my hands and did not mobilize the strength of my whole body, so you said that I only have techniques and no body skills. Is that right? "
Old Man Baofu smiled: "You kid, you have a good understanding, but the body skills are not that simple. What you just said is a matter of strength. Fish have no limbs, and the body is straight and the strength is not dispersed, so it can do straight movements."
With a tremble of strength, one can leap from the ground a distance several times the body's length. However, strength is strength and Dharma is Dharma, and they cannot be confused with each other."
Chang Sihao frowned in confusion. Old man Baofu continued: "For example, Jin is equivalent to the strength of the bow. The stronger the bow, the more powerful the arrow will be when it is shot out, and Fa is the archer holding the bow.
If the archer is good, the strong bow can exert greater power and hit the target more accurately. If the archer is poor, it is useless to have a good bow. Although those soldiers are brave and brave, they only know how to win with brute force, so
For example, a very poor archer holds a bad bow. And you are also a very poor archer, but your wrists and arms are flexible and strong, and you have some small tricks to get a slightly better bow. So although you can win, you will not be able to compete with those ordinary soldiers.
In comparison, it is only fifty steps or a hundred steps away."
Chang Sihao clicked his finger for a long time and showed a look of surprise: "That's true! So, how can I become a good archer with a good bow?"
Old Man Baofu said: "Before seeking the Dharma, seek the strength first. Without the strength, no matter how good the body technique is, it is not powerful enough, but it can't hurt anyone, so what's the use? As for the method of seeking strength, you have experienced it.
You might as well think about it yourself.”
Chang Sihao looked at the fish bones on the table and remembered the scene of the fish trembling and bouncing in the depression. His eyes lit up and he blurted out: "The waist! It's the waist!" When he saw the old man smiling, he suppressed his excitement and said,
Continue: "The ability of fish to jump depends entirely on the strength of the waist and spine, so it can hit the ground and rise up. If a person uses the strength of the waist to move the limbs, the strength will definitely increase a lot!"
Old Man Baofu stood up with a smile, came to the courtyard, picked up the hatchet and handed it to Chang Sihao. He pointed to a dead tree outside that was more than a foot in diameter and said, "Go and try to chop it."
Chang Sihao stepped forward and stood still with the knife in hand. After thinking for a moment, he exerted force on his waist, moved his arm, and swung the knife out quickly. With a bang, the blade cut into more than two inches. This strength was amazing. But he was shaking.
He opened his head and said, "I'll chop it again. I feel like I still have some strength left in me." After saying that, he calmed down, thought about the essentials, and swung the knife again. There was a click, and the blade penetrated the tree about three inches. There was still a look of regret on his face.
: "No, no, it's still powerful, but it's not fully utilized." He continued to cut a few more times, but he only managed to cut in about three inches, and no more.
Old Man Baofu smiled and said: "Your hand strength is extremely strong, but no matter how many times you chop with this method, it will be the same, because your strength is all tied up in your body!"
Chang Sihao asked curiously: "Can the energy be tied to the body?"
"Of course." Old Man Baofu said with a smile: "You know you need to use your waist strength, but you don't know that the waist strength is not in your waist, but in your hips! You can treat the part of your body above the hips as a door panel, and use your feet to push it.
Turn it over, move your arm and chop again!"
Chang Sihao took a good posture as instructed, kicked off the ground with his hind feet, and the strength of his legs drove his hips to spin like flying. His whole body turned quickly, and the hatchet made a "snatching" sound and sank into the tree. Even the back of the knife sank in, more than five inches!
Chang Sihao was overjoyed and took a lot of effort to pull out the hatchet. He said happily: "This time I used all my strength!"
