Ah Fu came to the martial arts arena early and waited according to the time. He had never gotten up so early before. Suddenly, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. Drowsiness lurked in his consciousness.
Ah Fu bowed his hands and said, "Ah Fu has met the Thirteenth Uncle."
Chang Shisan, dressed in a neat robe, walked over with his hands behind his back and said, "Go and move the box over there."
"yes."
Ah Fu used all his strength to lift the box on the ground.
The weight of this box seemed to be tailor-made for Ah Fu. It was exactly what Ah Fu could move with all his strength.
Walking forward step by step, the box almost touched the ground. Ah Fu desperately moved the box to Chang Shisan's side.
Only then did he see what Chang Shisan was holding in his hand, a dark-colored hemp rope whip.
The whip is Chang Shisan's most convenient tool for teaching people. But Ah Fu still doesn't know what this whip is used for.
"Bang!" Ah Fu threw the box to the ground.
"Move it up." Chang Shisan ordered.
Ah Fu looked reluctant. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it, but that the box was too heavy! His body didn't want to bear the weight anymore.
But the master said that if the thirteenth uncle said to go east, you can't go west. You have to listen to the thirteenth uncle's words!
He cheered himself up, took a deep breath, gathered his strength to move the box off the ground again, and slowly straightened up.
Chang Shisan looked at him and walked in a circle around him.
Ah Fu prayed silently in his heart: When can I let go! Hurry up! I can't hold on!
Chang Shisan said: "Count from one to fifty. During this period, the box cannot be lower than the current height. Start."
One to fifty! Ah Fu was shocked. Let alone fifty, he could barely count to twenty.
Ah Fu's facial features were twisted together, and he gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Gather your strength with your heart and tighten your spirit." Chang Shisan said.
"Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four...Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two..." Ah Fu's whole body was approaching numbness.
The arms are becoming less and less controlled by the conscious mind, and the numbers are counting faster and faster, and the numbers are counting faster and faster.
"Pa!" A crisp sound cut through the silence of the air, and the whip hit Ah Fu's back.
The sudden pain shocked Ah Fu's whole body!
He lost control of the box in his hand and fell to the ground with a "匡" sound. The box was filled with iron beads, which were immediately scattered all over the floor. Each one was neither big nor small, just the most suitable for holding with fingers.
This box of iron beads was specially prepared for Ah Fu to practice his finger skills.
Ah Fu was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do. He had just been whipped, but he still hasn't reacted yet.
"Thirteenth uncle, I..."
"Pick up the iron beads and put them back into the box. Start counting from the beginning. If you count faster, I will give you ten lashes." Chang Shisan said coldly.
There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.
Chang Shisan didn't have any trouble in his heart at this time because he had taught Kung Fu to his disciples more than once.
Practicing arm strength, whether practicing swordsmanship or concealed weapons, is a must. Only with strong arm strength can you flexibly use the weapons in your hands and hit the target stably.
Ah Fu, this kid, had never received such difficult training. It was indeed very difficult for him.
But facing Chang Shisan, he had no choice. Of course he couldn't give up now. He hoped to make a difference with his own strength.
He wasn't sure if he could finish it from scratch, but what he was sure of was that if he didn't finish it well this time, Chang Shisan's whip would definitely fall on him.
Ah Fu picked up the scattered iron beads on the ground one by one and put them into the box.
This time, he no longer dared to count the numbers quickly.
From twenty to thirty, then to forty, he exerted almost all his strength. Even the nerves in his legs were on the verge of collapse, and cold sweat broke out from his back.
The last ten numbers were all squeezed out from between the teeth with great difficulty.
When he put down the box, his whole body was no longer his, and his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them up.
He originally thought that he could only hold on from one to twenty, but under Chang Shisan's supervision and urging, he was actually able to hold on from one to fifty.
This is what martial arts training is like. Only by forcing yourself to continuously break through the limits of your body can you improve the body's various functions. This fundamental ability of the body is a necessary condition for a person to practice advanced martial arts.
Some people who practice martial arts have mediocre martial arts throughout their lives. Most of them are not because of inferior talent, but because they are not strict enough with themselves.
No one can replace the most difficult days of training. We can only replace them step by step and with sweat.
Among people working towards the same lofty goal, few can persevere until the end.
Ah Fu is lucky, because there will be a whip behind him, stimulating him all the time. He will endure hardships that others have not endured, and will also achieve achievements that others cannot achieve.
Chang Shisan drew a circular mark on a wall. The mark was as big as an egg.
He started walking from the wall in the opposite direction, no more, no less, taking thirty steps in total.
Then, step by step, he explained everything to Ah Fu in detail, from finger postures to power generating parts, to aiming methods.
Chang Shisan held the iron bead in his hand, and with a "whoosh!" sound, the iron bead flew out of his hand, leaving a circular hole at the mark.
"Thirty steps, the iron ball hits the round mark. Three out of ten shots, go back and rest. One out of ten shots, and you won't have to sleep at night. Not one hit, twenty lashes. This is today's standard. In the evening I will
Come here for acceptance." Chang Shisan patted Ah Fu on the shoulder.
"Afu understands."
Three out of ten shots! In one day, even if you don’t eat or drink, it’s difficult to achieve.
Ah Fu, who had no basic skills at all, found it difficult to hit the target with an iron ball even thirty steps away.
The strength of your fingers can only be improved through continuous training. Thousands of times, the iron beads are shot out, there is no shortcut.
Moreover, the method of controlling strength cannot be understood overnight.
Chang Shisan didn’t mean to make things difficult for Ah Fu.
Only when people face huge pressure can they be full of motivation to move forward. Only when there is a goal that must be achieved can people continue to use their brains to think, improve existing methods and practices, and approach a more perfect path.
.
The same goes for Ah Fu. He will definitely lose his sleep at night. If he exerts all his strength and understands his body and mind, he may be able to barely achieve one hit out of ten.
Chang Shisan did not set a standard for him that was far beyond his own ability. He just used coercion to make Ah Fu make the fastest progress.
