The Kingdom of Shia is located on the nine continents of the world and south of the Eastern Divine Continent among the four oceans. It covers an area of 1.2 million square kilometers and has a population of 104 million. It is a country where white, yellow and black people are mixed.
It has a developed economy and is well-known in Shenzhou, and is known as one of the four pearls of Eastern Shenzhou.
Wuhe City is one of the large coastal cities in the Kingdom of Shia, with an area of 6,400 square kilometers and a population of 1.69 million. Its economy ranks among the best. Last year, in 1980, its GDP was 20 billion.
Sanshun is one of the six streets and three towns under the jurisdiction of Wuhe City. It is located on the outskirts of Wuhe City and is an undeveloped urban-rural fringe area.
Baili Qingfeng put in a one-yuan coin and took the No. 3 bus. After ten stops, including the time spent waiting for traffic lights, it took him thirty-five minutes to arrive at Sanshun Town. He got off at the Baiyun intersection stop and walked a hundred meters.
, arrived outside a three-story private building with a large courtyard.
There was no sign in the yard, and no one was guarding the gate. Baili Qingfeng entered the yard. There were five people in the yard. One was doing homework on a stone chair on one side of the yard while the weather was nice, and the other was boxing slowly on the side, seeming to be thinking.
Fist intention, the remaining three are competing in push-ups, and one is responsible for counting...
After Baili Qingfeng entered the door, the woman in charge of counting glanced at him and quickly laughed: "Qingfeng, why did you want to come over to play?"
Baili Qingfeng recognized him. He was the eldest granddaughter of his second grandfather. His name was Baili Ruoshui. He was intellectual and peaceful. He had been hurt in love when he was young and had never married at the age of twenty-nine.
"Sister Ruoshui, is the second grandfather at home? I'm looking for the second grandfather."
"Here, Grandpa Second is practicing calligraphy. I'll take you there."
As his name suggests, Baili Ruoshui speaks softly like water, so he responded and led Baili Qingfeng through the door.
Inside is a hall corridor, a reception room on the left, and an indoor martial arts arena on the right, which also contains many martial arts props and equipment.
Baili Ruoshui took him directly to the study room at the back of the corridor, where he saw the energetic second grandfather Baili Changkong, who was wearing a gray mandarin jacket and a crew cut, practicing soft-pen calligraphy.
Baili Qingfeng didn't know calligraphy, but he only thought that the calligraphy practiced by his second grandfather looked very beautiful, no worse than the calligraphy used for copying on the copybook.
When he saw Baili Qingfeng coming, the second grandfather didn't have any rules like writing a word in one breath. He hung up the pen and said with a smile: "Our college students are here. It's been a while."
I haven’t come to see your second grandpa anymore. Come here, let’s have lunch at my second grandpa’s house.”
"I will have to go to Grandpa Er often from now on. I want to practice martial arts with Grandpa Second."
"oh."
Baili Changkong glanced at Baili Qingfeng and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I forced you to practice but you refused. Even the four boys of your generation can't endure hardship. On the contrary, the two boys Ruoshui and Ruoxue
The girl followed me and learned two moves, especially Ruoxue, and she also practiced some tricks. Why do you suddenly want to learn martial arts from me now? "
"I'm curious."
"Curiosity? Curiosity is a good thing. There is a saying that curiosity is the driving force for human development. If you really want to practice martial arts, I will teach you and teach you with your heart. You have been smart since you were a child. Listen to what your dad said this time
Are you among the top ten in the school? Practice hard and you will definitely achieve success. The premise is that you can endure the hardship of practicing martial arts. Fishing for three days and drying nets for two days is not enough."
"When I make up my mind, I will naturally do it with my heart."
"Well."
Baili Changkong glanced at Baili Ruoshui: "Girl, go and teach this kid the basics...forget it, it's rare that any of you guys are interested in martial arts training, so I'll teach it myself."
With that said, Baili Changkong folded his sleeves with great interest, put his hands behind his back, and led Baili Qingfeng to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, two disciples had finished their push-up competition. When they saw Baili Changkong coming out, they quickly said hello: "Master."
Baili Changkong nodded to the two of them: "We've almost finished practicing today, you can go back."
"Yes, master."
The two men responded and retreated.
"Ruoshui, please close the door."
Baili Changkong said again, then turned to Baili Qingfeng and said: "Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. The so-called martial arts training can also be included in this general outline, but martial arts training, master
In the beginning, Heaven and Earth were still simulating birds and beasts, such as dragon, tiger, crane, etc. Our lineage simulates a legendary creature, the Thunder Beast, and the Zhuang Kung Fu we practice is naturally related to the Thunder Beast.
Let’s see how I stand..."
Baili Changkong made a move.
This movement is a bit like the horse stance, but the horse stance requires you to straighten your chest, draw in your abdomen, and raise your hands flat, but in the Baili Changkong stance, you have to raise your hands high and clasping your hands to the sky.
appearance……
Somewhat shameful.
Baili Qingfeng follows suit.
"The mind must be calm, the energy must be calm, and the spirit must be focused. If you cannot do these three points, the first step of the pile will be extremely difficult for you. But recently, the old man, I have come up with a method. Everyone must have it.
One's own hobbies, through hobbies and habits, let oneself enter the state. Just like me, if I practice calligraphy before practicing martial arts, my mind will soon calm down. Ruo Shui girl follows suit, Ruoxue that girl likes to draw, you
You can also choose a quiet hobby, what do you like?"
"I?"
Baili Qingfeng thought for a while and said truthfully: "My dream is to be a philosopher."
"Philosophy must be based on life experience. You are only nineteen years old, too young. The thoughts you expounded are just nonsense. If it doesn't work, what else do you like?"
"What else do you like..."
Baili Qingfeng paused: "I like listening to music."
"I also like listening to music."
Baili Ruoshui on the side said with a smile.
"Won't it make a lot of noise when listening to music..."
Baili Changkong frowned slightly, glanced at Baili Qingfeng, suddenly stopped talking, and looked steadily at Baili Qingfeng's stance.
"Second Master?"
Baili Qingfeng glanced at Baili Changkong.
"Don't think too much, keep standing like this."
The Hundred Miles Sky Road.
Although Baili Ruoshui on the side had not accomplished anything, his eyesight was different. He could tell at a glance: "He has fallen into tranquility."
"good."
Baili Changkong nodded.
He was surprised. It was not easy for a boy of eighteen or nineteen to calm down so quickly when he was most out of touch.
"Be focused, calm, not arrogant, not impatient, not hasty, not slow."
Baili Changkong was lighting up the scene.
One practice lasts all morning.
Nearly two hours.
Baili Changkong instructed Baili Qingfeng to finish the exercise, and watched him finish the practice. He did not mention the issue of martial arts training again, and just said: "You are hungry, let's eat first."
Baili Qingfeng was having dinner at his second grandfather's house.
During the meal, Baili Changkong corrected his attitude a little: "Practice martial arts. What do you want to practice? Fists, kicks, swords, and strange hidden weapons?"
"sword."
Baili Qingfeng said without hesitation.
"Sword, the king of weapons, the weapon of a gentleman, is good."
Baili Changkong nodded with slight satisfaction: "Your second grandfather, I have learned more than ten swordsmanships and am proficient in several swordsmanships. I can be called half of the masters of swordsmanship. But I want to hear first what kind of swordsmanship you want to learn?"
"
"I want to learn the swordsmanship with which the sword energy can reach thirty thousand miles and reach nineteen continents with one sword!"
Baili Changkong's face darkened: "No."
"One sword can cut through the sky, even if you understand Ling Jiutian's sword skills."
"No."
"On that moonlit night, white clothes beat the snow, and when a sword strikes, you must have the swordsmanship of a flying fairy from the sky."
"No."
Baili Changkong snorted in his nostrils: "Why should I practice swordsmanship at a young age? Just practice fists, kicks, and palm skills! Those who wield swords and swords want to kill people?"
"Then...then do you have a palm technique that falls from the sky?"
"No."
Baili Changkong patted the table: "I haven't laid a good foundation yet, so why don't I practice fisting, kicking, and breathing techniques?"
"The Breathing Technique!? Okay, okay!"
Baili Qingfeng nodded.
It’s not bad to practice by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
"In our lineage, we have the Thirty-Six Movements of Running Thunder for body refining, and thunder breathing for qi refining. Unfortunately, the concept of refining gods and the thunder master is lost..."
Baili Changkong said: "The pile you were standing on just now is the Thunder Breathing Pillar, which is the basis of the Thirty-six Thunder Breathing Styles. Let me tell you about the rhythm of Thunder Breathing. When will you practice it?
Now that you have some basics, I will tell you the tricks."
Baili Qingfeng wrote it down carefully.
Perhaps due to the fusion of the two Baili Qingfeng souls who were reborn in this world, his memory became very good and his thinking changed very quickly, otherwise he would not have been able to get into the top ten in the school.
Baili Changkong said it twice, and he understood it clearly.
Thunder Breath is the core breathing technique of Baili lineage. Baili Changkong has accepted five disciples in total, but among these five disciples, only the eldest disciple has inherited this breathing technique, and it is not a complete inheritance.
The secret to levels is still in Baili Changkong's hands, but Baili Qingfeng...
As soon as I got started, I started to practice this core breath-taking technique, and I have to say that my background directly determines my salary.
After dinner, Baili Changkong was in the courtyard giving instructions on how to practice Baili Qingfeng's breathing technique.
What made Baili Qingfeng a little disappointed was that the Breathing Technique was not the kind of Qi-refining and immortality method that he imagined, which collects the nascent purple energy of the world and the essence of the rise and fall of the sun and the moon. It is basically a rhythmic breathing method.
He didn't know what the level was, but after practicing for a day, he didn't feel anything.
At night, Baili Changkong pulled Baili Qingfeng and asked: "You practiced all day today, how do you feel?"
Baili Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "It's very tiring and hard."
"Practicing martial arts is of course hard work. Are you still coming tomorrow?"
Baili Qingfeng made up his mind and would not give up halfway. In addition, it was only the first day. If he gave up after practicing for a day, the image he had created in the past year would be ruined. He immediately responded neatly: "Come on.
"
"Really plan to stick to it?"
"right."
"Well, ask Ahong to accompany you when you come tomorrow. I have something to say to him."
"knew."
"Go ahead, you won't be able to catch the last bus if you wait too late."
Three or four minutes after Baili Qingfeng left, Baili Changkong was still standing at the door.
Baili Ruoshui came to Baili Changkong and glanced curiously at Baili Qingfeng, who had disappeared into the sunset: "Grandpa, Qingfeng's talent is very good?"
Baili Changkong thought for a moment and said: "It's very good. It's better than I imagined. If he is really willing to persevere in another half month, I will help him straighten his bones."
"Bone setting!?"
Baili Ruoshui was a little surprised.
Bone setting, to use a more fantasy term, is called marrow cleaning and bone setting. It not only requires a lot of energy, but also requires the use of many precious medicinal materials, some of which are not even available on the market.
So far, in the Baili family, only his second uncle has received such treatment, and his second uncle Baili Tianxing is also a prominent figure in their lineage. Even Ruoxue and the eldest disciple of the master have not received such treatment.
"Look again, look again."
Baili Changkong said, holding his hands behind his back and straightening his back, he walked towards the inner courtyard.
Although he acted calmly, Baili Ruoshui could tell that the grandfather who always hung the calligraphy and painting "Heart is as clear as ice and the sky will not fall" in his bedroom had something on his mind.
