Volume 4 The Boat Against the Current Chapter 174 Teach students according to their aptitude

Teaching students according to their aptitude is the teaching method proposed by Confucius early on. In fact, this point can not only be placed on reading, but also on learning martial arts. Ordinary martial artists will naturally only teach their apprentices according to the script, and mechanically teach every move they can know.

But as a grandmaster-level figure in martial arts today, Zhou Tong understands the truth of teaching according to his aptitude, so he needs to understand Sun Tu's strengths and weaknesses before he can teach him martial arts, which is why he has the decision to learn from Zhou Xiong.

Seeing that Zhou Xiong's posture was obviously to let him attack the main one, Sun Tu was no longer polite, he snorted, and rushed forward with an arrow, and a punch had already slammed into the opponent's door.

Zhou Xiongren looked honest, but his movements were really not slow, and as soon as he made a mistake and turned his head, he had already let go of this move. But at the same time as he made this move, Sun Tu had swung a punch in front of him but suddenly retracted it, and at the same time, he swept out a kick and grabbed his lower abdomen.

This time it hit the old inch of the opponent's trick, so that Zhou Xiong could no longer dodge, so he could only sink with one hand and block this move. But the moment the two intersected hands and feet, Zhou Xiong only felt a strong force coming, which made him unable to resist, so he could only retreat back in a bit of a hurry before he could eliminate this strong force.

Seeing this, Sun Tu seized the opportunity and pounced, both hands or fists, or claws always attacked Zhou Xiong's neck, waist, chest, abdomen and other critical positions, forcing him to be busy parrying, so he could only retreat step by step, completely at a disadvantage.

Zhou Dong, who saw this scene, didn't react much, but the little girl Zhou Xiuwan smiled when she saw it, and actually cheered up for Sun Tu, who had just met: "Brother Sun, work harder, and quickly knock Uncle Xiong down, so that he always bullies me......" These words fell into Zhou Dong's ears, which made the old man shake his head and sigh, but he was helpless.

However, the little girl's cry did not affect the two who were devoting themselves to the competition, Sun Tu attacked fiercely, but to his surprise, after the initial haste, Zhou Xiong actually gradually stabilized, although he was still retreating, but he had turned passive into active, and weakened his offensive by retreating, in order to find an opportunity to counterattack, which made Sun Tu can only attack with all his strength, and he has no chance to relax a little.

After the two sides fought again and again, Zhou Xiong suddenly let out a low shout, and he had seen a flaw in the defense, and cut Sun Tu's shoulder with one palm, forcing the other side to retreat. And taking advantage of this opportunity, the tricks in his hand were even more continuous, like the water of a river rushing towards the retreating Sun Tu, allowing him to resist left and right, and finally hit the shoulders, arms and other places in a row, and his footsteps staggered back, and then a big flaw was revealed in his chest, which was enough for Zhou Xiong to win with one move.

Zhou Xiong was not polite, he immediately exhaled, and punched Sun Tu directly to the chest, with an amazing momentum. But at this moment, the mutation rose sharply, Sun Tu's originally staggered steps suddenly stopped, and then his body was short, and he narrowly avoided a punch in the chest, and at the same time, the other person had rushed to Zhou Xiong's front like an arrow from the string, blocking the palm of the opponent with one hand, and sweeping the opponent's door with the other hand, and at the same time, his feet had jumped out in a row, straight to Zhou Xiong's knees.

This move to avoid the real attack really caught Zhou Xiong off guard, so he could only use his legs to take two kicks sideways, and at the same time, his body quickly retreated with the power of this kick, widening the distance between the two, so that Sun Tu had no tricks to follow

The law is unleashed.

And at this moment, Zhou Tong had already shouted: "Stop!" ”

With his exit, the two of them, who were still waiting to fight again, stopped moving, and Zhou Xiong smiled at Sun Tu: "San Lang is really powerful, I almost fell in love with you." ”

"Senior brother is too modest, if you continue to fight, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent." When he said this, Sun Tu's aura was a little disordered, this was the only time he would feel difficult fighting with one person except for fighting with Lu Zhishen. Don't look at Zhou Xiong's honesty and simplicity, but the work under his hands is really solid.

When Zhou Xiuwan blinked her big eyes and couldn't guess who would win and who would lose, Zhou Tong had already nodded and concluded: "Yes, if you continue to fight, San Lang, you will definitely not be Xiong'er's opponent." But Xiong'er, you still have too little experience in facing the enemy, and there is less chance of change, obviously Saburo has exposed his own characteristics at the beginning, but you will still fall for his plan in the end. Otherwise, as long as you are wary at the time, you have already won at this time. ”

Zhou Xiong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "What the adult said is that the child is indeed a little negligent. ”

"Your strength lies in the fact that you have a solid foundation, so you can slowly turn the tide of the situation even if you are passive for a while. But if you really meet a master, I'm afraid I won't give you such a chance. Zhou Tong mentioned him a few more words, and then looked at Sun Tu: "San Lang, if the old man doesn't see it badly, you haven't really practiced martial arts, right?" The martial arts you perform are completely out of order, but you rely on your reaction faster than ordinary people and your ability to change quickly, so that you can fight with Xiong'er without being equal. ”

Sun Tu nodded: "What the master said is that in fact, the disciple has not really learned martial arts since he was a child. "It is said that Sun Tu's martial arts were mostly learned from the army and the battlefield before crossing, which can only be called the skill of killing and capturing the enemy, but it is really not a systematic martial art.

In fact, in later generations, because of the prevalence of certain concepts, this kind of martial arts tricks with different characteristics has long been regarded by people as embroidered legs, and even similar to radio gymnastics. Therefore, whether it is in the civilian or military ranks, everyone only focuses on speed and explosiveness and does not pay attention to any tricks, and what is really competing with others is nothing more than experience, reaction and speed.

Sun Tu also brought this view to the Great Song Dynasty, and he did rarely fail with this ability when he used to work with others, and Lu Zhishen, who was not an opponent, was also because his strength was inferior to the other party. But looking at Zhou Tong's meaning now, it seems that his previous judgment was wrong.

Zhou Tong touched the beard under his chin and sighed: "Your talent in martial arts is indeed extremely high, and you have today's attainments without the guidance of your master. And in terms of machine change and reaction, it is also one and the same, and it is too much better than the male. ”

These words made Zhou Xiong a little ashamed, so he could only touch the back of his head and laugh twice, but he didn't know how to reply. And Sun Tu hurriedly said modestly: "The disciple can't compare to the senior brother after all......"

"You really can't compare to him, especially on the foundation, and that's the key to your inferiority to him." Zhou Tong said with a serious face: "Martial arts learners, the foundation is the most important, if you just rely on your physical instinct to fight with people, you may be able to gain the upper hand for a while, but in the end, it will be difficult to win." especially

When you meet real masters who have the same reaction speed as you, or even surpass you, it is difficult for you to save your life. ”

After a pause, he looked at Sun Tu again and said: "So the old man will teach you the basic boxing and stick techniques next, so that you can really get a glimpse of the martial arts, so that you can grow in the future and not waste the bones of this body." ”

Sun Tu has already understood, and the next thing Zhou Tong has to do is to lay a foundation for himself and make up for the things he ignored before. Maybe he wouldn't care too much about it before, but now he was convinced, and immediately clasped his fists and nodded: "The disciple understands that I will practice hard and dare not slack off." ”

"If only you could understand. In fact, the civil and military have different paths and end up together, and the reason is the same. Scholars should start by recognizing words and sentences, so that they can write splendid articles in the future. And those who learn martial arts must also start from the most basic tricks, and when they integrate these moves into their own use, they can draw inferences from each other and easily come by changing their reactions. Zhou Tong deliberately gave more explanations, obviously worried that Sun Tu would not be able to understand his hard work when he was young and vigorous.

But in fact, he was completely overwhelmed, seventeen or eighteen-year-old Sun Tu actually had a soul in his thirties, how could he have resisted emotions? Since he has already decided that the other party is a famous teacher, he naturally has to listen to the teachings and learn martial arts.

So in the next half a month, Sun Tu would come to see Zhou Tong every day, and then Zhou Xiong taught him the most basic boxing and stick techniques, such as the Taizu long fist and Panlong stick method passed on from Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the current dynasty. These two sets of martial arts are the simplest in the army, but if you want to learn them well, you have to spend a lot of effort to do it.

However, with Sun Tu's comprehension ability, coupled with the occasional nod of Zhou Tong, a grandmaster, he actually made great progress in martial arts. With one law and ten thousand laws, even the guns and sticks martial arts, which were not too proficient, have actually made a qualitative leap.

At the same time, Sun Tu also brought Ya'er to Zhou Tong, so that she and Zhou Xiuwan knew each other. The two little girls are of the same age, and after getting along, they really became close friends in the boudoir who talked about everything, which made Zhou Tong feel very relieved.

Zhou Xiuwan's parents died early, and she has been living with Zhou Tong and her righteous son Zhou Xiong, except for the maid around her, there is no real confidant friend, and now with Ya'er, the little girl is naturally more and more happy, and the relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer.

The days passed peacefully day by day, until this day in late October, because the Yamen sent an order mentioning that the Liao envoy had entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and was about to arrive in Tokyo soon, Sun Tu could not stay in front of Zhou Tong to practice martial arts, but put more energy back into official duties.

At noon that day, Sun Tu took a few of his brothers to walk around the east of the city, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual in the area, he planned to go to Liufangju to eat something. But when they came to the vicinity of the Tianhanzhou Bridge, they found that there was a large circle of people at the head of the bridge, as if they were watching some conflict.

This made Sun Tu and the others suddenly a little nervous, and immediately rushed over.

At this time, two big men on the bridge were standing there, and the ragged guy shouted in his mouth: "Now grandpa gives you two choices, either sell the knife to grandpa for 100 yuan, or you kill grandpa with one sword, I don't think you have the guts!" ”
