Tang Zhao looked at the other party's arms, which were thicker than his own thighs, and a thought flashed through his mind:
Are you going to kill me?
Teacher Guan said: "Are you afraid?"
Tang Zhao pursed his lips and said, "A little bit." He walked over and sat opposite.
Sitting so close, the feeling of oppression is even stronger. It's like sitting at the bottom of a towering cliff, and you will be submerged by a landslide at any time.
Teacher Guan said: "Why don't you come here if you are afraid?"
Tang Zhao said bluntly: "But there is no way out." He put his arms on the table.
Teacher Guan's ears twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, and said: "Stand up. I'll sit, you stand, let's watch each other."
Tang Zhao stood up and stretched out his hand, which was wrapped in his big hand, as if it was trapped in an iron bucket.
"Come on, try harder."
During the struggle, Teacher Guan remained motionless. Tang Zhao felt like he was shaking the mountain. After two waves of effort, he started to sweat.
Teacher Guan shook his head and said, "No. When I ask you to stand, I just ask you to use your body strength. Why do you still use your arm strength? How much strength can a person have in his hands? Try using your waist strength."
Tang Zhao followed his instructions, lowered his waist and exerted force, leading his arms to break it. After a struggle, he almost fell down.
Teacher Guan shook his head again and said: "Although we use waist strength, we actually start from the feet, push on the ground, stabilize the center of gravity, and then exert force from the waist. Come on, tell me." He gave some pointers for exerting force.
Tips.
At this time, Tang Zhao gradually forgot about his nervousness, and naturally followed his instructions to try. He tried twice, lowering his waist and kicking his legs, from waist to back, holding his arms with his shoulders, exerting maximum strength, condensing his breath and exhaling——
"Hey!"
The worm shakes the tree!
Tang Zhao was sweating profusely and glanced at Teacher Guan who remained motionless. He was really helpless.
Teacher Guan let go of his hand and laughed loudly: "Okay, I know."
As Teacher Guan's strength relaxed, Tang Zhao also relaxed, first in strength, then in emotion. He relaxed in one breath, and even his expression became much more relaxed.
"Are you tired?"
Tang Zhao said: "It's okay, it's just that my hands are sore." He had just exerted a lot of effort. Of course, he couldn't say that he wasn't tired, but it was not the kind of exhaustion or exhaustion that caused him to exert too much force for a while.
Teacher Guan said: "Since it's okay, I won't ask you to sit down. Just keep standing in this position, relax your whole body, don't exert force, follow the rhythm of my hands, inhale when you lift it up, and exhale when you put it down."
After saying that, he raised his fingers as big as cattail leaf fans and waved them slightly.
Tang Zhao followed his hand and breathed, and with each exhalation and inhalation, his heartbeat gradually slowed down and calmed down. The hot sweat gradually became colder, and the cool breeze blowing in from the window actually gave rise to some goosebumps.
He thought to himself: This is similar to the breathing method in the exercise chapter. It seems that there is a lot of knowledge between one exhalation and one inhalation.
"Okay, sit down."
Tang Zhao sat down, straightened his body, and looked at Teacher Guan again.
At this moment, it seems that despite his burly figure, Teacher Guan's appearance is not vicious. He is far less scary than the big men outside, and he does not have the sinister temperament that is ubiquitous in Black Spider Villa. He has a square face, a straight nose and a straight mouth.
, When you have a straight face, you are dignified, and when you smile, you are very kind.
"Tang Zhao——" He repeated the name again, "My name is Guan Lei. Do you know what I am here to do?"
Tang Zhao said: "You come and teach me martial arts."
Teacher Guan nodded and said, "That's right! I'm here to teach you martial arts. Master Yin found me and asked me to make you as strong as possible within a month. Do you know why she came to me?"
Tang Zhao shook his head.
Guan Lei patted his chest: "Because Guan is the best person among millions of people who can teach martial arts."
Tang Zhao's eyes lit up and he believed it, because... Teacher Guan seemed very trustworthy anyway.
No wonder Tang Zhao was trusting rashly, Teacher Guan was actually the nicest and most normal person he had met in the past few days, even more normal than Wei Changle.
Teacher Guan continued: "I have been the chief teacher of the Giant Ant Gang for the past ten years. Not only the Giant Ant Gang, but also the elite disciples of the Five Poison Society are often sent to me for training. I have rich experience, are handy, and have achieved countless talents. What kind of disciple
I've taught them before. But this time it's different. I don't teach martial arts, I teach people. Do you know the difference here?"
Tang Zhao followed his train of thought and answered: "The focus is on people, not martial arts?"
Teacher Guan stroked his hands and said: "Yes. Usually my first priority is to pass on the martial arts I have learned so that everyone can learn them and master them as much as possible. Then what I want to study intensively is martial arts. But this time, what matters is not what I teach.
, but allows one person to benefit the most and make the most progress, and it only lasts for a short month. Guan thought about it and was a little embarrassed. Tang Zhao, you have to help me."
Tang Zhao hurriedly said: "Of course I will follow your teacher's instructions!"
Guan Lei shook his head and said: "Just being obedient is not enough. I want you to use your strength with me. Not only do you try your best, but you also have to use your strength in one place. They say that the greatest benefit is, but where is the 'most'? It's like asking how much the sky has.
High, there is no highest, only higher. We use human power to touch the sky, and we can touch as high as we can. If you jump up on the ground and touch yourself, how high can you touch? If I pick you up, how high can you touch?
?I asked you to stand on my shoulders, lift them up, lift them as high as you can. If you jump up again, reach out and touch the sky, you are the highest, right? But if my support is not stable, it will not work if I fall you. If you don’t use it,
If you jump up hard and fall down instead, that's a bad thing."
Tang Zhao nodded and said, "Of course, I won't hold you back."
Guan Lei said with a smile: "Great. Now that we have already thought about one thing, is it still difficult to work hard in one place? Then let me first talk about what we are going to do this month."
Unknowingly, Tang Zhao listened with rapt attention and followed Teacher Guan's rhythm.
Guan Lei said: "You have never learned martial arts before, right?"
Tang Zhao nodded.
Guan Lei said: "That's good. I like a piece of white paper. If the young tree that has just sprouted is straightened, it will grow naturally in the future. The one that was crooked at the beginning will remain crooked no matter how you straighten it. Let's start from the beginning. Martial arts
Martial arts is naturally martial arts and gong. Generally speaking, we call beating others martial arts, and practicing ourselves is called gong."
Tang Zhao didn't expect his explanation to be so clear-cut, but it was quite clear.
At this point, Guan Lei asked: "Do you think it's more important to beat others, or to train yourself?"
Tang Zhao said without hesitation: "Of course it is important to train yourself. But these are two sides of the same body, inseparable, right?"
Guan Lei praised: "What a young scholar, he understands the truth. The so-called practice of martial arts without practicing martial arts will be in vain. If you ask me to polish a student from scratch, he must first practice the basic skills for three years before teaching others. But we only have one month. One month.
How will you go into battle if you don't learn martial arts in the future? So let's try our best to go hand in hand."
Tang Zhao nodded repeatedly.
Guan Lei said: "Let's talk about you then. Your qualifications for learning martial arts are much better than your qualifications for practicing kung fu."
Tang Zhao said: "My qualifications are still... good?"
This was the first time he heard about it. He still remembered what the martial arts teacher said: "You have to pay more"!
Guan Lei said: "In my opinion, there is no certain level of students' qualifications, only which aspects are stronger or weaker. I just tried it and you are weak and have a thin frame. Although you haven't exercised, so
Your strength is small, but after you practice, your bones will be there and you won’t be able to support much muscle, and your strength will always be insufficient. Do you like to get sick?"
Tang Zhao coughed lightly and said: "A bit..."
In fact, I love to get sick. I was quite frail and sickly when I was a child. On the contrary, I have been fine for a while. I wonder if life is too hard, so I forgot about my illness.
Guan Lei said: "My foundation is a little weak. But that's nothing. One purpose of practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body. From this point of view, the weaker the body, the more you should practice martial arts. At most, you will be a little nervous for a month. This aspect of the body
The qualification is one of the qualifications for practicing Qigong. Your starting point is relatively low. On the other hand, your advantages are also very outstanding. First, you have good understanding, and second, you can understand everything."
Tang Zhao said: "Through it?"
Guan Lei said: "This is very important. Just like just now, I taught you some tips for exerting force. If you understand, this is one. You can command your body to exert force according to the tips. This is two, your body can exert force according to the tips."
Greater power, these are three. We call people who exert more power in the third step as qualified. But aren’t the first and second steps important? From the time I teach you to the time you exert your power correctly, this process
It’s fast and accurate. I call this process penetration.”
Tang Zhao was suddenly stunned and said: "Unify knowledge and action?"
Guan Lei chuckled and praised: "Students are still good at talking. The unity of knowing and doing... Yes, it is such a good thing. It is this unity of knowing and doing. Some children are smart and sensible, but they can't do it after they understand it. Some children can't do it as long as they understand it.
You can do it, but you just can't understand it. There are also people who are born with great strength and can do bastard boxing with great success, but if you want to teach some real skills, it will cost you your life. In comparison, you have failed in the first two steps.
Being able to do it has greatly broadened your future, which is why I said you have good martial arts qualifications. We know where your strengths and weaknesses are, so we can make a more accurate plan."
After thinking for a while, he said: "In this way, the idea is to study hard and practice hard as a supplement. How about that?"
Tang Zhao tried hard to keep up with his train of thought and said, "Just learn more martial arts and practice less?"
Guan Lei said with a smile: "There is no reason to practice less in this world. What I mean is that you should learn more, learn more than others, and be more advanced than others. Learn the difficult and difficult methods from the beginning. After you understand them, you will naturally become more efficient.
Being faster than others. This is called sharpening your knife to chop wood. If you are not strong enough, if you want to cut deep enough, your knife must be faster than others."
Tang Zhao suddenly said: "I understand."
besides……
Guan Lei knew there was another important point.
There is another way to speed up your practice, which is to supplement.
A lot of dietary supplements and medicinal supplements.
It just so happened that the Villa allocated a sum of resources to Tang Zhao, and they were very generous, which ensured that Tang Zhao could practice harder.
But this has nothing to do with Tang Zhao himself.
"Then we'll start tomorrow." Guan Lei said with a smile, "We need to work hard together. I heard that you can read and read? There is a book "Thunder Speaks of Martial Arts" on the shelf, take it and read it?"
Tang Zhao took it and saw that this was another secret... textbook. Learning is easier if you have textbooks, he always thought so. Unfortunately, when he asked Yuan Qing before, Yuan Qing just said curiously: "To learn martial arts, you also need to read books. What does it mean?" Unavoidable.
He laughed at him and said, "A scholar's thinking cannot distinguish between civil and military affairs.", "Can you become a master by studying? If you can become a master by studying, then the martial arts competition should be changed to an exam."
It seems that there are still people who want "martial arts literature" just like him.
Seeing that he liked him very much, Guan Lei knew that the preparations he had made before were useful, and smiled and said: "Go and call your little friend in."
When Tang Zhao left, his steps were brisk, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
He went out and called Wei Changle in, not forgetting to make a "don't worry" gesture.
After going back downstairs and waiting for a while, Wei Changle also came back with a relaxed expression. It was obviously a pleasant thing to meet Guan Lei. Even if the two people have completely different temperaments and experiences, an experienced and famous teacher can easily grasp it.
After the two teenagers left one after another, the lion-like Guan Lei who was the leader of the house was left in the spacious house.
He thought for a long time and knocked on the table lightly.
"Dong dong dong——"
His movement was very slight, but it made a sound like a drum, and the table creaked, trembled, and was about to collapse.
Someone came in from outside and obeyed orders without saying a word. It was the fierce-looking strong man at the door.
Guan Lei said: "Practice the ink."
The strong man prepared the pen and ink skillfully, and Guan Lei took up the pen to write. The handwriting was clear and smooth, like flowing clouds and flowing water. It was definitely not an ordinary warrior's handwriting.
Just as I was writing, someone walked in quietly.
Guan Lei kept writing without raising his head, and said: "Miss Yuanqing, wait a moment, we will finish writing soon."
Yuan Qing stood aside with a smile and said: "Don't be in a hurry. You can write slowly."
After waiting for a while, Guan Lei stopped writing, dried the ink, folded the paper, and said, "I'd like to forward this to Master Yin."
Yuan Qing took it. She couldn't open and look at the owner's things, but she was concerned and asked, "What do you think of the child?"
Guan Lei said: "The child is very good."
Yuan Qing said: "Then..."
Guan Lei realized that she was not asking casually, but was really concerned about him, so he elaborated: "Both children are very good. Wei Changle is better physically, and Tang Zhao has a good understanding. Taken together, both of them are considered to be above average."
.”
Yuan Qing nodded and said: "If it's above the average person... then it's okay."
The Five Poison Club recruits a mixed bag of people, not to mention the right ones, even crooked melons and cracked dates. Not everyone in Black Spider Villa is a genius, but to enjoy the benefits of hiring famous teachers and providing resources, just having above-average qualifications is absolutely necessary.
Not enough, this time it’s an exception.
Guan Lei said: "Does Guizhuang know that kid Wei Changle has some skills?"
Yuan Qing said indifferently: "That's right. You can tell from the walking posture that there may be a foundation for Zhuang Gong. However, there is no foundation for internal and external Kung Fu, so it can't be considered a foundation."
Guan Lei nodded and said: "His foundation was originally solid, but somehow it was a bit abandoned. It's not difficult to pick it up again. Tang Zhao just started from scratch, with a blank sheet of paper."
His original intention was to remind Black Spider Villa that Wei Changle had hidden clumsiness. This was also based on the friendship between host and guest, and he was afraid that the other party would mistakenly accept a disciple of unknown origin. Since the Villa didn't care, he didn't care even more.
Little did they know that these two teenagers had unknown origins for the Villa, but what does this have to do with the Villa?
Yuan Qing had her own concerns and asked again: "Then do you think they... have a future?"
Guan Lei said: "It's hard to say. Basic qualifications are one thing, and future development is also related to one's personality and circumstances. Diligence, concentration, tenacity, courage and luck are all elements of success. These are now
I still can't tell. Now it seems that Tang Zhao has a good understanding and is smart and knowledgeable. Will he be less tenacious and practical? Wei Changle is obedient and sensible. He should be able to work hard. Will he be less courageous and courageous? But this
This is my current guess, and it would be too arbitrary to draw a conclusion. If you want to know, I will tell you in a month."
When Yuan Qing heard him mention a few conditions, she unconsciously matched her own, and found that few of them were right. She couldn't help but blush, and said: "I've learned a lesson. Teacher Guan is indeed a famous teacher. The two of them can get you."
It’s a great blessing to be with you for a month.” After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
After she left, Guan Lei was silent for a while and said: "Famous teacher? Haha, famous teacher."
