"Wang An, we have been together for so long, can we be considered friends?" Li Xinzhu said.
"Of course." Wang An smiled and nodded.
After getting along with him these days, Wang An felt that Li Xinzhu was quite a good person. What was even more rare was that he was willing to practice with him and was almost always available.
"Then do you think friends should express something to each other?"
"Wouldn't it be great if we practice Sanshou, learn from each other, and make progress together? Oh, I understand, I'll treat you tonight." Wang An said with a smile.
"A treat is a must. What I mean is that friends should treat each other sincerely."
"What do you mean?" Wang An asked and was startled when he heard this.
"Look, my arm is swollen, and you don't want to explain what happened to those slaps you just slapped me with. You understood the method of Tai Chi to release force a few days ago, and now you understand the method of Tai Chi to exert force.
?”
"Yeah." Wang An nodded.
"I believe there are geniuses in this world, such as myself.
But your progress is too fast. You can catch up with others after several months of practice, as if you were possessed by Master Zhang. This is obviously unscientific. Is there any trick?"
"Is this it? Practice more, read more books, think hard, absorb knowledge from books and videos, and combine knowledge with practice.
Summarize often, every week or every month, and accumulate experiences and lessons. There must be plans and targeted exercises.
You must have an innovative spirit and divergent thinking, and dare to innovate and try." Wang An summarized his practice experience very seriously.
"Stop, stop, stop." Li Xinzhu rubbed his temples, feeling that his brain hurt a little.
“I can understand the idea of absorbing knowledge from books, combining knowledge with cultivation, being planned and targeted.
What the hell is innovative spirit and divergent thinking? We are practicing kung fu, not scientific research.”
"Let me give you an example. You usually practice boxing in a boxing gym. Can you go to other places, such as rivers and lakes?
How did Banbu Bengquan hit the world? It was practiced while wearing shackles in a prison cell.
Have you ever thought about practicing Xingyiquan while wearing shackles? Is it possible to practice Xingyi Quan without shackles and hanging steel blocks or chains?
There are also some boxing champions who go to the zoo to practice boxing with animals like orangutans or kangaroos to practice their reflexes, you can also try it!"
Li Xinzhu stayed there, his mind buzzing.
"zoo?"
Bang, Wang An suddenly clapped his hands.
"Why didn't I think of it earlier? Think about it carefully first, I'll leave first." After saying that, Wang An turned around and left.
"Hey, where are you going?" Li Xinzhu asked subconsciously.
"zoo."
"Zoo, what are you doing there?"
"Of course we're going to see animals, tigers, bears, monkeys..."
"You'd better go to the hospital first and have a look at your brain!" Li Xinzhu, who came back to his senses, shouted at Wang An's back.
"What kind of messed up thoughts are these? Isn't this a mental illness? I'm going crazy while practicing Qigong!"
"Hey, you promised to treat me to dinner tonight. I like seafood!"
Ten minutes later, Li Xinzhu started practicing Xingyi Quan with dumbbells on his back.
Wang An actually went to the zoo after coming out of the martial arts hall. He wanted to see tigers, bears, apes, deer, and birds. Watching their postures might be helpful to his Five Animals show.
Outside Tiger Mountain, Wang An looked at the tiger below, lying lazily on the ground and not moving much.
"Guys, don't lie down all the time. If you have nothing to do, stand up and take a few steps."
Wang An stood outside Tiger Mountain and finally waited until a tiger got up from the ground and stretched.
He stared at the tiger carefully, watching the tiger walk slowly and leisurely.
The king of beasts, he walks calmly and shows his domineering attitude. When he moves, his muscles are visible to the naked eye under his fur.
Wang An worked hard to imprint the tiger's every move in his mind, and then imitated the tiger's movements.
It was already late, and it was such a cold weather. There were not many tourists, but there were keepers at the zoo.
An administrator saw Wang An practicing Wu Qin Xi with a tiger from a distance.
"Who is that person, and what are they doing there?"
It wasn't until the zoo closed in the afternoon that the administrator came over and called him out, and Wang An reluctantly left.
"You have watched the tiger and learned a lot about practicing Wu Qin Xi. Wu Qin Xi experience 20."
It really works!
"Well, I always feel like there's something I haven't done yet." Wang An came out of the zoo and said to himself while pedaling his bicycle.
"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore."
Just when he was about to go back to his residence, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Li Xinzhu.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"It's not me that has something wrong, it's you. Have you forgotten something?"
"Hey, how do you know? I always feel like there is something I haven't done."
"There is such a person. He talked for two and a half hours about asking for a treat, and then went to the zoo to see animals. Are the monkeys good-looking?"
"Oh, remember, what do you want to eat? How about we have a buffet?" Wang An said with a smile. He now remembered that he agreed to Li Xinzhu's treat tonight.
"Okay, I happen to know a good cafeteria, and I will send you the address later."
Twenty minutes later, Wang An and Li Xinzhu were sitting in a relatively upscale-looking buffet restaurant.
"The seafood buffet here is more unique, but the price is a little higher. You won't regret it, right?" Li Xinzhu asked tentatively.
"If you don't regret it, it will be them who will regret it later." Wang An said with a smile.
"That's okay, let's go, let's get something to eat."
After a while, Li Xinzhu brought back a lot of seafood in a small bucket, including swimming crabs, small green dragons, and Pipi shrimps.
Wang An also brought back some meat, vegetables, and fruits.
"Wait a minute, are you going to eat these things?" Li Xinzhu looked at the food Wang An brought back and was stunned.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Is the food not fresh? It looks fine to me."
"It's not a question of whether it's fresh or not. Are you here to bring warmth to others? To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a seafood buffet with so many vegetables. What do you think?"
"Are you going to eat? It's a combination of meat and vegetables, and it's nutritious."
"Okay, it's your treat anyway, I don't care." Li Xinzhu said with a smile.
Then he put the seafood in the pot and steamed it.
"If you eat so much seafood, be careful of high uric acid levels, which can easily lead to gout."
"My level of activity is fine. Can I have some white beer?"
"No." Wang An shook his head decisively.
"If you don't drink, I will." Li Xinzhu went to get a bottle of liquor and poured it himself.
While going back and forth, he found that half of the food Wang An brought back was missing.
