Li Huqiu's arrogance is in sharp contrast to his apparent modesty. He can not only remain humble and humble in front of gangsters like Song Yujia who stomp his feet and shake the city, but he can also stay in front of the little thieves living at the bottom.
He never puts on airs. But under his approachable appearance, the little thieves can feel the pride and disunity in his bones. He is the only lone ranger among the thieves in Harbin City who does not form gangs. Everyone knows him well.
He is different from other thieves because he has kung fu, because he is more disciplined, and because he is stronger.
Chivalrous bones, proud youth, and iron guts create legends. Those who create legendary lives must have legendary qualities.
Li Huqiu has always been confident, no matter how humble or reserved he says. He has never been made fun of before meeting Dong Zhaofeng. His kung fu has always been his pride. So no matter how much he respects Dong Zhaofeng, this
Even the monkey joke made him blush. Needless to say, even Xiao Yanzi could tell from his stubborn and indignant expression that he was very unconvinced.
Dong Zhaofeng looked at him with a smile: "What, you are not convinced?" Li Huqiu did not deny it, nodded and asked: "Do you know Kung Fu?"
Dong Zhaofeng shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say that I understand, but if you really make two gestures, I will definitely be better than you. Your skills are not even that of a three-legged cat."
Li Huqiu's eyebrows rose in anger, and he asked Dong Zhaofeng to show his hand on the spot. If you can convince me, I will immediately become your teacher. If you can't convince me, you have to apologize to me!
Dong Zhaofeng had always wanted to pass on his art and was about to show him his hand. After saying hello, he rolled up his sleeves and walked calmly in front of the dummy. He raised one hand high and concentrated on his luck, then suddenly made an extraordinary move.
He quickly jumped on the shoulders of the dummy. After lightly patting the top of the dummy's head with one palm, he jumped down. He came to Li Huqiu and asked with a smile: "Do you see clearly?" Li Huqiu asked unconvinced: "Look.
What do you know? Do you see you jumping on the wooden man like a monkey?"
Dong Zhaofeng laughed loudly and said, "Go over and push that wooden man to have a look."
Li Huqiu doubtfully walked over and pushed it, and something magical happened. The wooden man actually fell down in his hand. It felt extremely soft when he held it, as if there was no wood at all inside, only the layers of cowhide. The entire inside of the wooden man had been treated by Dong Zhaofeng.
His palm shattered! Li Huqiu turned around and looked at Dong Zhaofeng, his eyes full of fanaticism.
This is real Kung Fu. There is a saying in the boxing song. A three-inch punch with seven points of strength can penetrate the golden stone! The power can pass through the wooden man's head and penetrate the whole body of the wooden man, completely shattering the inside of the wooden man. This way
In Li Huqiu's past perception, Kung Fu was just a legend that was beyond human reach.
"You are amazing, this move is so powerful, I am convinced!" After saying that, he kowtowed to his master as promised.
Dong Zhaofeng stopped him and said: "If you like to learn, I can teach you, but there is no need to become a disciple. There is a big gap between you and me. I am actually an official. If I accept you as a thief apprentice, one day in the future
When I need to catch you with my own hands, it’s time to start. You’ve entertained me for so many days, and I’ll teach you a few fists and kicks. We won’t be indebted to each other. It’s more fun to make a friend who’s been with us forever.”
Li Huqiu said hello, and then said: "The review said that you would rather give up one or two gold and not teach any skills. Real Kung Fu, even if you are willing to spend millions and millions, there may not be a place to learn it. I learned your Kung Fu but did not learn it."
You always feel bad about being a teacher. I don't think it's better than this. One day when I master Kung Fu, you can ask me to do three things for you. No matter how difficult the thing is, I can do it for you through fire and water!" Dong Zhaofeng did not take this.
He took his words seriously and nodded in agreement.
From this day on, Li Huqiu began to systematically learn Baguazhang from Dong Zhaofeng. With the guidance of a famous teacher, Li Huqiu realized that he had gone astray in many ways in learning Baguazhang by himself. Dong Zhaofeng taught Li Huqiu Kung Fu, and after teaching him, he discovered Li Huqiu’s understanding.
And resilience is better than he imagined.
Li Huqiu learned kung fu and had a very good foundation. He had trained his muscles, qi and eyes since he was a child. He had all kinds of hand, eye and body skills. The only problem was that his theoretical research on martial arts was too shallow. He had mastered many kung fu but not deeply.
It's like adding condiments to a dish. Everything is right but it doesn't taste good because it's not cooked properly.
Before Dong Zhaofeng taught him Kung Fu, he first gave him some basic knowledge of Kung Fu theory. He mentioned the several levels of Kung Fu. First of all, the basis for practicing Kung Fu is the frame. Only when the frame is right and the body is not easily damaged can Kung Fu have a chance.
After thinking about it, when the airing kung fu is so solid that the body, shape, qi, and mind are unified, a person will have mastered the kung fu. The kung fu at this time is called Ming Jin. Most people who have kung fu in their bodies will never be able to do it in their lifetime.
Just stay at this level. If you practice Ming Jin deeply, if you can take another step up, you will enter the level of Dark Jin. At this time, the human body's physical strength will greatly increase, and it can carry Qi and blood to strengthen muscles and bones, and when facing the enemy
The combination of mind and form, the combination of strength and Qi, can cause invisible harm to people wherever it goes. Although warriors at this level dare not call them as rare as dragon liver and phoenix courage, they are extremely rare to see.
After Dong Zhaofeng introduced this, he remained silent. Li Huqiu asked him: "What is the realm further up?" Dong Zhaofeng shook his head and said: "It is meaningless for you to know the realm further up, because that kind of realm is in the martial arts world.
It’s not uncommon. You have basically jumped out of the level of ordinary people. You have now touched the threshold of dark power, but this is also the result of your hard work. As for whether you can break through to the next level, you still need talent and opportunity.
And your talent is not that outstanding." Li Huqiu was unconvinced and asked him: "Didn't you say that my understanding is extremely high?" Dong Zhaofeng smiled and said: "It is true that you have high understanding, but it does not mean that you are also highly talented.
, If you want to achieve great success in Kung Fu, five points must be talent, two parts opportunity, two parts hard work, and one part is understanding. If your understanding is high, your body cannot keep up, and you have more than enough mind but not enough strength, that’s what you are like.”
Li Huqiu asked: "Is there any way to strengthen the muscles and bones and improve physical talent?" Dong Zhaofeng nodded and said: "Yes! Medicinal wine, medicinal baths, hard training to beat the body, and long-term challenges to the body's limits, but this
The process is extremely painful and dangerous. You, a little thief, don't have the need to practice such deep kung fu?" As he spoke, Dong Zhaofeng looked at Li Huqiu with bright eyes. There was no hesitation on Li Huqiu's face to express his willingness to work hard.
Try it. Dong Zhaofeng is secretly satisfied in his heart. If a person does not have the courage and perseverance to fight for his life, even a person with extremely high talent will never be able to climb to the top of martial arts! Li Huqiu's talent is above average. The most rare thing is that he refuses to admit defeat and dares to do so.
The courage to fight.
Dong Zhaofeng's kung fu is unfathomable, and his basic martial arts theory is extremely solid. What's especially rare is that he is also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. The medicinal bath prescriptions he prepared are specially designed to treat internal injuries and muscle strain injuries, and have miraculous effects of relaxing muscles, activating blood, calming the mind and relieving pain.
, the tiger bone medicinal wine he brewed by himself is an excellent way to strengthen the muscles and bones. The poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, so practicing kung fu is a money-consuming thing. The monthly cost of medicinal wine and medicinal bath alone is thousands, and other various
This kind of auxiliary equipment is a bottomless pit of money. Li Huqiu spent all his savings regardless of the cost. As long as Dong Zhaofeng thought it was necessary, he would definitely buy it back.
Time flies, half a year has passed, and Li Huqiu is already a sixteen-year-old boy. Because of practicing kung fu and taking medicinal baths, his body is more mature than other boys of the same age. His kung fu foundation is also becoming more and more solid. During this period He systematically followed Dong Zhaofeng to learn the authentic Baguazhang method.
Dong Zhaofeng told him that there are many principles of Baguazhang, mainly focusing on: three shapes and three postures; three voids and three combinations; three circles and three tops; three wraps and three agility. The three shapes are "walking like a dragon, moving like a monkey, and changing postures like an eagle." ". The three postures are "steps are like wading through mud, arms are like twisting ropes, and turning is like grinding". Three emptinesses are: "the palms of the hands are empty, the soles of the feet are empty, and the chest is empty". The three combinations are: "the mind and the energy are combined." , the force on the Qi is combined, the force and the intention are combined." The three circles are "the back should be round, the arms should be rounded, and the tiger's mouth should be round." The three tops are "the top of the tongue and the palate, the top of the head and the sky, and the top of the palms in front." The three wraps are " The Qi must be wrapped, the shoulders must be wrapped, and the elbows must be wrapped." The three sensitivities are "the heart must be sensitive, the eyes must be sensitive, and the palms must be sensitive."
Dong Zhaofeng taught Li Huqiu everything he could by word of mouth and deed without reservation. Li Huqiu had a famous teacher to teach him, combined practice with theory, drug assistance and extraordinary efforts, and he was able to master the dark secrets in half a year. Strong effort.
It was spring again, when the rivers in the Northeast were blooming. One morning, Dong Zhaofeng said goodbye to Li Huqiu. Before leaving, he told Li Huqiu that he had not completely retired yet, and there were still two apprentices in the capital. Teacher, there was also some work that he had to go back for final handover. One of the reasons he came out this time was to relax, and the other purpose was actually to find the notes left by his ancestor. Only then did Li Huqiu know the real reason why Teacher Dong found him. He hurriedly handed over the small wooden box that he had obtained from Chu Lie that day to Dong Zhaofeng, along with all the items inside.
Dong Zhaofeng opened the wooden box and took out the Chilong Jade Pendant, and said: "This thing is an object handed down from my ancestors. It was obtained from Prince Su's Palace during the reign of Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty. It can be regarded as an old object that came out of the palace, although it is worth a few dollars." It's a bit of money, but it's by no means something very meaningful. You and I are both teachers and friends. If your efforts are successful one day, I won't guarantee that you and I will meet again. Then this thing will be This is a certificate, if you take this thing, my disciples will know your identity when they see it, and many misunderstandings can be avoided."
Dong Zhaofeng drifted away, leaving Li Huqiu to continue practicing hard. During the period of learning from Master Dong, Li Huqiu never left behind the training contents for a single day. Even if he had to face the limits of the human body every day, he did not dare to face it. He felt relaxed at all. He knew deeply that everything he had today was achieved through his excellent skills. He still had a long life ahead of him, and he still had to take care of Little Yanzi when he grew up, and he had to have his own world. If you want to survive in the world without being angry or humiliated, you cannot do without excellent skills.
Master Dong did not look down upon him because of his profession, but also told him that even thieves have great characters. Thieves also have their own ways. During the Republic of China, Yanzi Li San was a hero who helped the poor and worried about the country and the people. His kung fu may not necessarily Although he was top-notch, his chivalrous spirit put countless people of that era to shame who were better than him in martial arts.
The legend of Li Huqiu's life is closely related to many figures. Among them, Master Dong is the most important. It was he who pointed out the direction of life for Li Huqiu during the critical period of his growth. At the same time, his profound knowledge also greatly expanded his horizons. It opened Li Huqiu's vision and made him understand the vastness and greatness of this country beyond Harbin.
To be a grand thief who benefits the country and the people and travel all over China have become the two goals Li Huqiu is currently working hard to achieve.
When the grass and trees on the wall of the courtyard became lush, Li Huqiu's kung fu suddenly stopped making progress. After the initial irritation, he finally figured out the reason. He had reached the point where Master Dong said that it takes great perseverance and great opportunity to break through.
, the bottleneck that can make people reach the sky in one step. With the dual effects of drug help and extreme training, his talent limit has been improved. But if he wants to cross this threshold, five points of talent are no longer enough. From now on, hard work is no longer about improving kung fu.
The main way, experience and opportunity are the keys.
