Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

"Elder brother can just call younger sister Ruomei. I often hear my father mentioning that you are extremely skilled. I wonder if elder brother can give advice to younger sister. My younger sister will have a fight with that surnamed Ye the day after tomorrow. I don't know what elder brother has to say about younger sister. "

Wang Xuebin waved his hands when he heard what Gong Ruomei said:

"No, go, let's go up and talk."

Said the two went upstairs, Wang Xuebin opened the door, let Gong Ruomei in, followed in without closing the door.

"sit."

As he spoke, he took out the teacup, lifted the teapot, felt it was still warm, poured two cups of tea, put one cup on Gong Ruomei's table, and asked casually:

"What kind of boxing do you like?"

Gong Ruomei thanked her and asked strangely:

"Like it? Younger sister practices Baguazhang, which was passed down by my father."

Wang Xuebin waved his hand and asked:

"Have you practiced other boxing besides Baguazhang?"

"Little sister has practiced Xingyiquan, but due to lack of strength, it is always difficult to use it, so she has been practicing Baguazhang since then."

Wang Xuebin thought for a while, and changed his words:

"What kind of boxing technique is Baguazhang in your eyes?"

"Baguazhang originated from Dong Gong, and it pays attention to the quickness of the body, and changes with the movement..."

"Stop! You are talking about Ba Guazhang's opinion in the eyes of seniors, and I am asking for your opinion."

Gong Ruomei hesitated for a moment and said:

"The 64 hands of the Gong family have 64 styles of eight palms..."

Wang Xuebin looked at Gong Ruomei, knocked on the table and said:

"This is the palm technique of the palace master, what about yours?"

Wang Xuebin's table seems to be knocking on Gong Ruomei's heart. She has been learning martial arts since she was a child, and her father is a master of Baguazhang.

She is proud.

She has practiced 64 moves since she was a child, and she also took it for granted that this punch is invincible in the world. Although she saw her father worshiping an unknown person today, she knew in her heart that it was his father's intentional concession.

It wasn't until Wang Xuebin asked her that she realized that the Gong family she had been talking about had no defeats, but his father had no defeats.

Whether it's fame or glory, it's all from her father's punches. She can enjoy this glory and be proud of his father, but she can't be proud of this reputation.

If she is proud of this, she will only embarrass the Gong family.

Wang Xuebin saw her lowered her head in a daze, and didn't try to persuade her, but said:

"Come on, get up and do Baguazhang again."

Hearing this, Gong Ruomei stood up silently, put on an air of Baguazhang, took a step but almost fell down, she stopped and pursed her lips, looking at her hands silently, her eyes were a little red.

It was funny for Wang Xuebin to see her like this. He also looked like this when he re-practiced kung fu back then, and even the most basic zhama stance felt awkward.

Thanks to the book of changes that his master left him, it is full of master's understanding and perception of kung fu. He referred to this book and combined with his own understanding to re-practice his own kung fu, which belongs to his Wang School boxing method .

Seeing Gong Ruomei standing there with red eyes, not moving and not speaking, Wang Xuebin pointed out:

"Think about how the palace master taught you back then, one move at a time and one move at a time, from stance to 64 moves, step by step, don't miss a single step."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went out and closed the door. Stealing martial arts is a big taboo, and watching others practice martial arts is the same. Although Wang Xuebin likes to collect martial arts, he doesn't bother to steal them. After all, in modern times, some people come to teach , and he happens to be not short of money now.

A homemade Do Not Disturb sign was hung on the door, and he turned and walked towards the back kitchen of Jinlou.

Chapter 19 Nine Heavens Baguazhang

The back kitchen of Jinlou is always full of fireworks. When Wang Xuebin came inside, he saw that Ding Lianshan was devoutly worshiping a statue of Guan Erye.

Seeing Ding Lianshan get up, he stepped forward and joked:

"Senior, the back kitchen doesn't put the stove and the king puts Guan Gong, what's the saying?"

Seeing Wang Xuebin coming, Ding Lianshan said with a smile:

"When people get old, they will always feel a little awe in their hearts. When I was young, I didn't believe in anything. I always felt that I could go all over the world with my kung fu."

After speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly:

"It's only when I get old that I realize that a mere martial artist is just a homeless ghost in troubled times..."

Wang Xuebin was also silent when he heard this. He knew that the future would be even worse, so he persuaded him dryly:

"It's okay, it will be fine!"

Seeing his appearance, Ding Lianshan also changed the subject and said:

"It's nothing. I'm old and I just want to think about it. By the way, this is the address of that guy."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, and the address was written on the envelope.

"I have contacted him. This is his residence. There is a letter I wrote to him. The guy's surname is Zhang, and his nickname is Yixiantian. When are you leaving, tell me and I will ask him to pick you up. "

When Wang Xuebin saw Fengtian Kangping County written on the envelope, he frowned, thinking about something.

Seeing him frowning, Ding Lianshan guessed his scruples and said:

"Don't worry, the Japanese invaders are beyond his reach."

Wang Xuebin looked up and said:

"I'm not worried about the Japanese invaders. Back then I had some conflicts with the local Xingyi masters. It's okay, I just keep a low profile."

After speaking, put the letter away.

Ding Lianshan heard the words and asked:

"Xingyiquan? What's it called?"

"It seems to be called Feng Zhuguo. It sounds quite famous in the local area. There was some filth when we came to communicate with each other before."

When Ding Lianshan heard the name, the corner of his mouth was also sarcasm, and said:

"Didn't the girl from the Gong family leave yet? If you go back with her, everything will be fine."

When Wang Xuebin heard this, he glanced at Ding Lianshan, saw that he had no intention of explaining, so he stopped asking, chatted for a while, turned around and went back.

When I went back to the door, I saw that the sign had not been touched, so I knocked on the door. Gong Ruomei opened the door from the inside. Seeing her calm expression, Wang Xuebin asked with a smile:

"How do you feel, have you gained anything?"

Gong Ruomei said gratefully:

"Thank you, brother, for your kind advice. Listening to what you say is better than studying for ten years!"

Wang Xuebin said with a smile:

"It's okay, just say a few words, you are just seeing the palace master's feeling, I just pierced this layer of window paper for you, if there is no palace master, I don't have that much ability."

Gong Ruomei just smiled and said nothing.

What did Wang Xuebin think of and asked:

"It's not easy to go to the banquet in Jinlou tonight, do you want me to go with Uncle Jiang?"

Gong Ruomei smiled and shook her head:

"My father wants to be consistent. As a daughter, I can't embarrass him. But the younger sister will have a banquet with Ye Wen the day after tomorrow, and I hope my brother will come to watch the battle."

"Okay, I will go to Fengtian later, and I will go back all the way after watching the battle the day after tomorrow."

Gong Ruomei heard the words and asked:

"Oh? Elder brother, you have something important to do in Fengtian. If you can use my younger sister, just ask. The Gong family still has some energy in Fengtian."

Wang Xuebin waved his hand:

"It's nothing, just send a letter to a friend, and go to exchange kung fu by the way."

"Oh, I don't know which boxing method my brother has taken a fancy to?"

Wang Xuebin didn't blush when he heard this, nodded, and joked:

"Hmm! I think 64 moves is not bad. I wonder if Ruomei can enlighten me?"

Wang Xuebin's remark was originally a joke. He had already glimpsed some of the meaning of 64 moves from the Baguazhang taught by Gong Yutian. As long as he took time to ponder, he could also deduce the 64 moves.

But unexpectedly Gong Ruomei heard this, and without hesitation took out the boxing score that Gong Yutian left her, and handed it to Wang Xuebin.

Wang Xuebin didn't understand what she meant at first, seeing her handing over a book, he took it and flipped through two pages before realizing that it was the boxing manual of Baguazhang. After careful taste, he found that this book came from the same source as the Baguazhang taught by Gong Yutian , then immediately closed it and asked:

"This is?"

Gong Ruomei nodded affirmatively and said:

"This is the Gong family's 64 moves. From the starting position to the leaf bottom hidden flower, there are a total of eight moves and 64 moves, which come from the same source as Baguazhang."

Wang Xuebin put the book on the table and said:

"It's not right. I'm a good person to take advantage of my mouth. I can't take it as a joke."

As he spoke, he pushed the book over:

"You put this book away, if it spreads out, there will be big trouble."

Gong Ruomei pushed the book back.

"My father specifically asked me to hand it over to my elder brother. If my elder brother refuses to accept it, then I can hand it over to the old man. Otherwise, if he thinks that my younger sister is not good at doing things, I will still have to eat."

Wang Xuebin was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said to the old fox in his heart, saying:

"Then I will accept this boxing book, and I will teach you a set of Jiutian Baguazhang that I created myself in the future."

Seeing that he accepted it, Gong Ruomei said with a smile:

"Nine Heavens Baguazhang? It sounds more powerful than the 64 hands of the Gong family. In the end, it's the younger sister who took advantage."

The corners of Wang Xuebin's mouth twitched when he heard this. He was embarrassed to explain that he was incompetent in naming this boxing technique. In addition, it took nine days to sort out this boxing technique, so he named it that way. fist.

And his most proud set of boxing is Eryue boxing, which integrates all the boxing skills he has learned. The core idea of ​​reference is the theory of Jeet Kune Do that "there is no law, and the infinite is limited", which can be compared with modern mixed martial arts.

To say which one is more powerful, traditional martial arts or the fighting of later generations, judging from Wang Xuebin's exchanges over the years, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Many traditional martial arts are born out of the battlefield, which is the accumulation of experience and the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors. Martial arts practice first involves fighting, then forming routines, and finally summarizing theories to form a system and pass it on to future generations.

Modern fighting is to first calculate theory through scientific methods, then guide practice through theory, and then feed back to theory through practice, and so on.

In fact, the two achieve the same goal in the end, and the reason why modern traditional martial arts lag behind is because the social environment has changed.

In the past, there were many people who practiced Kungfu, learned martial arts, and sold them to the emperor's family. Whether it was a soldier, a policeman, a bodyguard or even a bandit, they were all corresponding occupations for martial arts practitioners.

However, since the development of hot weapons, personal strength has been suppressed to a minimum. Ten years of martial arts training is not as good as a bullet. These professions no longer require people who practice martial arts.

But in the modern legal society, if you can't find a satisfactory job after practicing martial arts for more than ten years, no one will spend that hard work.

And the fewer people practicing martial arts, the worse the quality of those practicing martial arts. Without enough communication and knowledge, one cannot become a master.

Later, kung fu developed in the direction of beauty and fitness, and the reason is also because only the film and television industry and the fitness industry can use kung fu.

Some people may wonder why they don't play competitions because they are so good at kung fu. Another issue is involved here, which is the environmental issue.

Traditional martial arts is first of all a matter of physical fitness. Physical fitness here refers to innate conditions such as strength and speed. Practicing martial arts, whether it is standing on a stake and lifting a big gun or lifting a stone lock, is to exercise strength, and develop conditioned reflexes while exercising strength.

Afterwards, the master will teach you the routines. After practicing the kung fu routines, the master or brothers will dismantle each other's moves, in order to let you know how to attack and defend in your own kung fu, and strengthen the conditioned reflex.

Later, I will let the apprentices go out to practice and fight, through actual combat, let you understand various attack and defense methods, and strengthen the conditioned reflex again. At this point, you are already a master.

If the talent is good enough, you can sort out and summarize your own fighting experience, and sum up your own fighting philosophy. This is a master of the school.

This is the training path of traditional martial arts. Modern society cannot provide such an environment, so the decline of kung fu is an inevitable and irreversible status quo.

"Ahem~ Well, your kung fu is not bad. You have the foundation of Baguazhang, so you should be able to get started quickly."

Wang Xuebin said with some embarrassment.

He didn't care so much when he named it at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be so NB after saying it now.

"Then thank you brother first, and my younger sister will go clean up first, and go to the banquet in this golden building tonight."

"Okay. Go ahead and get busy!"

That night, Gong Ruomei went to the Golden Tower alone for a banquet. Except for a boxer, no boxer was on the table, only she and the girls at the table.

The next day, Uncle Wang Xuebin and Uncle Jiang and Gong Ruomei spent a day in seclusion in the hotel. In the blink of an eye, on the third night, Uncle Gong Ruomei, Uncle Jiang and Wang Xuebin went to the Golden Tower together to hold the Bawang Banquet.
