Chen Kui discovered that some of the so-called traditional "bad habits" that he considered before, those habits that needed to be swept into the garbage dump, were actually quite good, such as the arranged marriage system. Although Hong Kong has received many years of Western liberal education,
However, some traditional concepts are still maintained to a large extent.
What can most impact traditional concepts is actually not new ideas, but economic development and social changes.
Closer to home, Hong Zhennan and his wife are very satisfied with Yang Meng, and Yang Meng's parents are also very satisfied with Chen Kui. They need talent and talent, money and wealth, and status. They are simply the "three-have youth" of the new era, plus Chen Kui.
For the two parties involved, Kui and Yang Meng, the man did not refuse and the woman did not object. The elders of both parties immediately agreed to form an in-law family.
A month after they met, Chen Kui and Yang Meng got engaged very quickly.
It's just that Yang Meng is still in school, so the marriage will have to wait for a few more years. However, now that he is engaged, Chen Kui can be considered to have a family and a career in this world.
…
1948, February 22.
Li Tung Street, No. 12 tenement building, practice room.
Chen Kui opened a special training room. Unlike the imaginary training room with various training equipment or wooden dummies, this training room is more like a quiet tea room.
The practice room is divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. There is a table in the outside room with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. There are no chairs. There is also an antique bookshelf on each side, which is filled with various books, including old thread-bound books and new books that have been published recently.
Mainly thread-bound books, Chen Kui usually writes calligraphy and reads here.
In the inner room, as soon as you walk in, you can see a big word "quiet" hanging on the wall on the right. This is a calligraphy written by Chen Kui himself. In the eyes of an insider, this word has nothing but momentum.
In all aspects, it can only be regarded as an average level, but it is absolutely no problem to use it to fool laymen.
Chen Kui and Feng Ai learned calligraphy from Chen Kui, and he insisted on writing for at least half an hour every day.
The interior is more spacious, with almost nothing taking up too much space. Opposite the word "quiet", Chen Kui is sitting cross-legged on the futon, with his heart turned to the sky, his eyes slightly closed, and his body rising and falling with his breathing.
Meditation has been Chen Kui's daily compulsory course since he mastered it. It was also suggested by Feng Ma. Although Hong Zhennan did not meditate himself, he did not object to it.
This is not practicing internal strength, but just meditating. To put it simply, it means not thinking about anything, emptying your mind, keeping your body relaxed, and reaching a peaceful state of mind.
Practicing martial arts is both movement and stillness. The body moves but the spirit is still. It reaches a state where the mind is calm, the body is excited, and the waist and legs are full of energy. In Shaolin, this is called "Zen Wu", which is a very profound martial arts state.
It has been two years since Chen Kui came to this world. There is still one month left before the second battle with Hong Qiancheng. Unlike the first time, Chen Kui practiced hard every day for fear of wasting every penny.
time, I wish I could improve myself every moment.
But this time, Chen Kui spent more time writing and meditating before the decisive battle.
It seems useless, but what it actually represents is a different state of mind. Chen Kui now pays more attention to inner peace.
Now, physical training and technical training in a short period of time can no longer quickly improve Chen Kui's strength. What he needs now is the quietness of his mind. Only by maintaining this quietness can he be unafraid and flexible in the face of danger.
Meditation is a technique that completely focuses the heart, mind, and spirit on the original beginning. The purpose is to free yourself from the fetters of desire and guide you to a transcendent state. The effect is very good.
It is said that in later generations, large companies such as Google and the Navy SEALs will make meditation a required course.
What warriors fear most is being controlled by emotions, whether it is sympathy, joy, sadness or anger, it will all affect them.
…
Zhenzi Martial Arts Hall.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"Okay, come again, faster, faster, harder, haven't you eaten yet? Come on."
A series of dense collisions, mixed with Hong Zhenzi's scolding and low roars, made people tremble with fear.
Master and apprentice Hong Gancheng and Hong Zhenzi are also undergoing special training for the competition one month later.
"Is this all you have? You want to win. Bah, have you wasted your time on dogs in the past two years?" Hong Zhenzi shouted angrily.
"drink!"
"Bang!"
Hong Gancheng shouted loudly, and punched the boxing target held by Hong Zhenzi in both hands. A huge force came from the boxing target, and Hong Zhenzi couldn't help but take a half step back, his hands feeling numb.
"Okay, what we need is this kind of speed and strength!" Hong Zhenzi put down the boxing target in his hand and said to Hong Gancheng, he was very satisfied.
At the beginning, Hong Gancheng was unwilling to give up. Because of Yang Zhenjun's words, in order to defeat Chen Kui in front of Hong Zhennan two years later, he joined the Chao Gang without hesitation.
Starting from the bottom of the gang, relying on a pair of fists and the courage to not be afraid of death, he punched and kicked, and achieved the name of "The Iron Fist of the Chao Gang". Now, he is recognized as the strongest red flower double stick on the road.
"Ha...ha..." Hong Gancheng gasped and twisted his neck, letting a large amount of sweat flow down his face. His naked upper body was covered with scars, and there was a ferocious knife on his chest from his left shoulder to his right waist. Scar, as he panted, the scar was like a vivid centipede, wriggling on his body.
Hong Gancheng, who has been fighting hard on the road for two years, is completely different. He is full of anger that cannot be concealed. If his anger was only in his eyes two years ago, then Hong Gancheng is now exposed everywhere. He was full of rage, like an unsheathed sword, with a cold light. Ordinary people in front of him would not even dare to look up at him.
"Can it go any faster?" Hong Zhenzi asked.
"Okay." Hong Gancheng, who was just Hong Zhenzi, said in his hoarse voice.
Master Hong Zhenzi was very satisfied with his apprentice's answer. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a rest first and come back later."
"No, continue!" Hong Gancheng said.
"Okay!" Hong Zhenzi grabbed the boxing target with both hands, stood in a lunge, turned sideways to Hong Gancheng, and said, "Now, let me see your leg skills."
Hong Gancheng nodded and made a three-hand gesture.
"drink!"
With a loud shout, Hong Gancheng stepped forward, leaned to the left, and suddenly kicked out his right foot, which was almost in a straight line with his body.
"Bang!"
He kicked the boxing target and felt the power coming from the boxing target. Hong Zhenzi's face changed slightly, and then a smile appeared on his lips. He was very satisfied with the power of this kick. If he hadn't been well prepared, he might have lost the kick. , he has to fly out.
