Chapter 6 Exercises Everywhere

In Huo Xiaoshan's impression, this winter passed the fastest, in addition to practicing martial arts is skiing, unconsciously, the ice and snow melted, the mountains were covered with green, the sun was shining, and it was the hot summer

Huo Xiaoshan's life became regular. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Every day, when the morning star is still shining, you have to get up to practice martial arts. After eating, he had to carry a little pig to the village to put pigs, this little pig was the cub of other people's old sows in the village, Huo Yuan used the hazelnut mushrooms and black fungus picked in the mountains in exchange. After coming back, you have to practice sticking to the mountain, or practice the fixed routine under the guidance of Huo Yuan. In the afternoon, he had to drag the mud blank, which was to fulfill the promise he had lost in a bet with his father Huo Yuan last year. At night, Song Zijun still taught him to read and write.

On this day, after breakfast, he walked towards the north of the village with the little pig in his arms as usual. The little pig already weighed more than fifty pounds, but Huo Xiaoshan still walked with it, very easily. This is not only because he has been successful in martial arts, and his strength is obviously greater than that of children of the same age, but also because it has become a habit to carry this pig away. When the little pig was only seven or eight pounds, he carried it away, because he had to cross a few small ditches to the place where the pigs were herd, although it was not wide, the pig was absolutely unwilling to live by himself, he could only hold the past, but after a long time, as long as the pig went out of the house, he didn't take a step, just lying at Huo Xiaoshan's feet and humming. Fortunately, Huo Xiaoshan should also be practicing, as the pig grows meat, Huo Xiaoshan's strength is also increasing, not only can he walk with a few small rivers holding it, but he can also hold it to jump over those small river ditches.

After passing the small river ditch and crossing a small hill, Huo Xiaoshan saw a herd of pigs eating pigweed on the grass, and not far from the pigs, an old man sat on the small horse with a copper cigarette pouch pot in his mouth, that was the old man. A large black dog lay at his feet. When the dog saw Huo Xiaoshan, he jumped up, wagged his tail and ran towards him, and when he ran to him, he threw himself into Huo Xiaoshan's arms. Huo Xiaoshan dodged and hugged the little pig who was so frightened that he arched into his arms when he saw the dog.

"Go, Ben'er! I didn't bring you anything to eat today. ”

Ben is a common name for dogs in Heilongjiang, which means Ben'er head, which is the forehead in written language, which means liking.

The dog circled around Huo Xiaoshan a few times, but saw a pig running out of the herd, so he turned his head and chased over, and before the big black dog approached, the pig ran back into the pig herd with its four legs that were too short to be shorter, obviously being bitten by the big black dog.

Huo Xiaoshan walked up to the old boss and put down the pig in his arms, the pig was strange, and he didn't hum anymore, he spread his calves and ran to the pigs to graze.

"Here, little shanzi," the old man took his head off the copper smoke pot in his mouth and greeted him.

"Well, old man." Huo Xiaoshan replied.

"You're almost dragged that mud slate, aren't you? Isn't it enough to build a big grass house, hehe. The old man laughed. Huo Xiaoshan practices martial arts every day, hugging pigs and dragging mud blanks, the whole village has long known about it, and it is no wonder that it has been a long time, who called him Huo Xiaoshan?

"Soon, hehe," Huo Xiaoshan scratched his head embarrassedly, "My father said that it would be covered in a few days." He also said that when the time comes, he will ask the people of the village to come and help, and then set up a few tables to drink, and you will come too. ”

"I'm going back, I'm too old to work now, but it's okay to stand next to me and talk about ideas. Ha ha. The old man said.

"Then I'll go, and then you go drink." Huo Xiaoshan said goodbye to the old leader.

"Okay, good," the old man agreed, looking at Huo Xiaoshan with a loving gaze peculiar to an elderly person, turning his head and walking back. , he likes Huo Xiaoshan in his heart. Because according to his words, this kid can't learn anything wrong, he has the heart and benevolence, he is also the oldest, and he is also a lot of people, and he believes in his heart that Huo Xiaoshan will have a great future when he grows up.

When he got home, Huo Yuan was waiting for him, and he didn't go up the mountain today.

"You beat this single cannon ten times in a row." Huo Yuan said on the side.

"Oh," Huo Xiaoshan unfolded this single-cannon hammer as he said.

With Huo Xiaoshan's every punch, he would stomp on the ground with his feet, and he would make a sound of haha in his nose, and his fist power was different.

"Stop", Huo Yuan shouted, "Xiaoshan, you have to pay attention, you can't stomp the ground too loudly, after the correct stamping landing, the strength must penetrate the ground, go deep into the ground, the sound is dull and thick, it sounds like the sound is coming from the ground, and you will feel the ground and the walls tremble when practicing in the house." Boxing can not only rely on the strength of the limbs, to achieve the unity of internal and external, the combination of qi and force is the key to the internal and external integration of boxing, by sending out the humming two sounds to achieve the effect of urging the force, stomping, blowing, punching to be completed at the same time. 'Move like a stretch bow, hair like thunder', this is the key to our Bajiquan's strength. "Moving like a bow" is the process of accumulating energy, which means that the body is like a stretched bow, full of strength, and then transmits the energy stored in the body to the limbs and releases it. "Thunder" is a description of the characteristics of the moment when Bajiquan is powered. It contains two implications, one is that the force should be sudden and violent, so that people are caught off guard, and there must be a devastating momentum; The second is to exert force to radiate in all directions with one's body as the center, and it must be powerful in any direction, just like a firecracker exploding in the air. And the single cannon hammer you are practicing now uses "cross strength", and the requirements of cross strength are that the strength of the front hand to hit forward and the strength of the back hand to pull back constitute a horizontal "cross"; The sinking shoulders, falling elbows, stomping, and blowing are the strength of the limbs and hundreds of bones sinking downward, and the top of the top, the vertical neck, and the waist form an upward top pulling strength, constituting a "cross" of a vertical. ”

Huo Yuan's Bajiquan level is now at the level of a generation of grandmasters, after he and Song Zijun came to the deep mountains of Heilongjiang, he definitely didn't practice martial arts as hard as before, but maybe it was the reason for the change in his mood as he got older, he felt that his level of Bajiquan had improved, and his perception was getting more and more.

"Xiaoshan, don't think that this move is simple, even the simplest move of Bajiquan also contains extremely ingenious strength, and it can make the internal qi directly used in actual combat, so as to send out the strength of supervision. This momentum is extremely strong, just like the waves of the sea, continuous, wave after wave, penetrating the body, injuring the internal organs, making people unable to resist. After being hit, people don't feel anything on the outside, but the internal organs are as unbearable as if they are overturned, which is what boxers call "internal injuries". As I told you, my master knocked down a cow, but the cow never got up, because its internal organs had been wounded, as I and your uncles saw with our own eyes after killing the cow. If you practice hard, I believe that your achievements in martial arts will not be inferior to my master. But there are two things you have to remember: the first is to have martial arts, although we learn martial arts also punish the strong and help the weak, but not for the sake of fighting the strong and ruthless, a person who is strong and ruthless in character will not go further in martial arts, as your mother said, don't hurt your life. Do you remember? After saying this, Huo Yuan looked at Huo Xiaoshan, who was standing in front of him and leaning his neck and listening to himself carefully.

"I remember, Dad." Huo Xiaoshan was tanned, but he still looked a little immature, and his face showed a serious look.

"Another point, you have to remember that when facing the enemy, there are only the most suitable moves, not the most ingenious moves, and you can use the simplest instead of the most complicated." Huo Yuan said this but it was the experience of his military career, the fighting on the battlefield, the situation was instantaneous, especially in the white-knuckle melee, what was emphasized was to knock down the opponent in the fastest time, otherwise the move was subtle, and he could knock down the enemy on the opposite side, but he didn't know that due to the slow speed, a deadly bayonet might come from behind.

Huo Xiaoshan has been practicing Bajiquan for almost a year now, and he has become much more solid in this year, although he is only an eleven-year-old child, he looks like a little tiger who has just come down the mountain after he moves. Although his strength is still far inferior to Huo Yuan, he has gradually realized the true meaning of Bajiquan. Baji Boxing takes the head and feet as the Qiankun, the shoulders, knees, elbows and hips as the four directions, and the arms front and back are opposite, which is the eight poles, and the dantian Baoyuan is in the center to achieve the unity of strength and internal and external. Bajiquan is the overall force, the strength of Bajiquan is radiated from the center of the human body to all directions, which has both visible force and hidden force, it can be said that the whole body is everywhere to hide the force. Some aspects seem powerless, but they are powerful to the touch, and there is force in all directions. No matter how the opponent cracks or sneaks in any direction, or attacks from several different directions at the same time, he will encounter a powerful rebound. Although Huo Xiaoshan has never fought with others, he will always practice with his father every day, Bajiquan is a melee boxing method, when he first practiced, he would always be restrained by Huo Yuan with one hand and attack, and the other hand would easily break through his defense and slap him in the face. But with the improvement of Huo Xiaoshan's level, it was gradually difficult for Huo Yuan to slap Huo Xiaoshan in the face anymore, and then although Huo Xiaoshan could not compare to Huo Yuan in terms of strength, he was already able to have dealings with Huo Yuan, and he had dozens of rounds of dismantling, and at this time he had undoubtedly stepped into the mysterious door of Bajiquan with both feet.

After taking a nap, Huo Xiaoshan began to drag the mud blank.

Although the summer in Heilongjiang is short, the sun is also like fire, but it must be admitted that the impact of temperature changes on different people is different, Huo Xiaoshan directly ignored the exposure to the sun with his good physical fitness that is beyond ordinary people.

A few days before hauling the mud blank, Huo Yuan was responsible for carrying water and preparing grass and mud, and after reconciling a lot of them every day, he went to work with adults. Later, Huo Xiaoshan also took this job, because he found that dragging mud blanks and practicing Bajiquan were similar. And Huo Xiaoshan wanted to stand beside the mud pile in the sun, his feet shoulder-width apart, squatting down and poking his hands into the mud, and then "ha", at the same time, one end, pulled up a large or small piece of black mud, and wiped it into the mold next to his feet. Under Huo Yuan's guidance, this set of actions is very particular, the squatting process is to build momentum, and to charge your body like a tight bow, the sound of "ha" is to use qi to urge the internal strength in the body to convert the explosive power of the limbs, and when the force is not exhausted, this set of processes will be completed. This is exactly the key to the eight-pole fist of "moving like a bow and sending like thunder".

Heilongjiang was originally a wild place, in the Qing Dynasty, it was a place to exile prisoners and decentralize frustrated officials, but it never reached the depths of the mountains where Huo Xiaoshan's family lived. Although the wilderness is wild, the black soil is as black as flowing oil, extremely fertile, and becomes extremely viscous when it is mixed with water, and the grass vines that increase toughness become slippery and tough. Every time he worked for a while, Huo Xiaoshan was sweating all over his body, but this Huo Xiaoshan was also very stubborn, since he had made a bet and admitted defeat, he would never cheat, and he did it very seriously, because his father told him not only to repair the courtyard wall, but also to build a big grass house, and when there was a big smoke bubble outside in winter and he could no longer practice outside, he would go to the house to practice. Each era has a different main theme, the children of that era are naughty must be naughty, but they generally listen to the words of adults, by no means like children after 100 years, parents only say one sentence, but children have a hundred sentences waiting there, and will never eat, tired after a day of adults have not yet served the table, but the child has been eating on the table full of oil.

After Huo Xiaoshan finished mopping the mud blank, he became a little mud monkey, without Song Zijun's instructions, he would go to the river outside the village to bathe, the river is not small, and it becomes very wide in the rainy season. Song Zijun knew that his son was extremely naughty, so there was nothing he didn't dare to try, so when he was only four or five years old, he asked Huo Yuan to teach him to swim. It is said that this Huo Xiaoshan is indeed a genius in sports, but his father demonstrated it to him once, and he learned to swim, and even surpassed it. Every day at dusk, Huo Xiaoshan, who had been tired all day, lay flat in the river, his body swaying naturally with the rhythm of the river, like a fish that grew up in the water since childhood. As the sun set, in the afterglow, a thin figure holding a boy who had also washed a clean pig walked towards the small village where the smoke rose, this was Huo Xiaoshan's day.

Song Zijun is still quite satisfied with all this, because seeing that the little wild horse at home has been put on a halter, he will no longer run wildly all over the mountains, will not climb to a tree dozens of meters high to watch birds lay eggs, will not run to the mountains with Huo Yuan to collect traditional Chinese medicine, and will not worry about encountering the unknown tiger, leopard and jackal, and will no longer let her worry about her stomach. Every night, after dinner, the family gathered around the pine oil lamp on the kang table, and Song Zijun taught Huo Xiaoshan to read and write, and also taught him some of the physical and chemical knowledge in Western-style science that he had learned. Song Zijun was very famous when she was a girl in the land of Jinling, but she was not prosperous by nature, and she was very fond of Buddha under the influence of her grandmother, so she taught Huo Xiaoshan to recite a lot of traditional readings, and taught him to read and recite Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", "Thousand Character Text", "Diamond Sutra", "Buddha Says Amitabha Sutra". Every night he must recite a thousand Buddha horns before he can sleep, according to her, Buddhism is full of wisdom in life, the mood is ethereal to hold more things, to keep the soul pure in order to be deaf and clear, quick to react, although Song Zijun is not a person who practices martial arts, but every time he talks about some of the essence of Buddhism, even Huo Yuan nodded frequently on the side, paying attention to the moves, emphasizing that attacking is not the ultimate state of people who practice martial arts, and can comprehend the corresponding transformation of virtual reality before entering the Mahayana of martial arts. The family lives in the mountains, and sometimes catching birds and beasts is also a survival need, but both Huo Yuan and Huo Xiaoshan remember Song Zijun's warning not to hurt their lives, and the whole family must eat fast on the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year.
