Chapter 3 Practice
After eating, Huang Xiao returned to his residence, sat cross-legged on the bed, and calmed his heart according to Liu Qiang's meditation method of people in the rivers and lakes.
With peace of mind, Huang Xiao naturally pondered the incomprehension in "Snake Stalker" in his mind. Two hours later, Huang Xiao's closed eyes opened, and this meditation made him realize a lot.
"This martial arts method is really different from the previous books, like a labyrinth, open one layer, comprehend one layer, but there is another obstacle in front of you, but the surprise and joy after comprehension make people a little unstoppable. Huang Xiao got up and pushed open the window, looked up, and saw a bright moon hanging in the air, and the moonlight spilled into the house to look hazy.
"Today's bright moon seems to make me feel a little different from the past. Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Huang Xiao muttered.
"Is it different?" Huang Xiao's heart suddenly moved.
This martial arts is completely different from what he learned before, "Snake Stalker" should be an ordinary martial arts, according to Liu Qiang, the exercises are also divided into several categories. Simplicity can be divided into two categories, and that is the difference between the presence and absence of internal forces.
Huang Xiao also knows that with Liu Qiang's strength, I am afraid he doesn't know more martial arts, and he himself has not practiced internal strength, and this internal force is not something that can be practiced if he wants to. Without internal strength, it is basically impossible. And if you want to learn the inner strength of the mind, you can only worship those Jianghu sects, and your strength must reach a certain level before you are qualified to cultivate.
All the people in the rivers and lakes who have no internal force are classified as not in the stream. However, there are also strong and weak in this non-stream, Huang Xiao understands this, and this Liu Qiang is probably the one who belongs to the lower class.
"I really want to know what the internal force is, what kind of demeanor is that of a martial arts master who flies the eaves and walks on the wall, breaks gold and gravel?" Huang Xiao found that he had some longing in his heart.
"Scholars are useless?" Huang Xiao sighed, "Scholars who have not obtained fame are indeed useless, they will not have any other means of livelihood except studying, and now that the family's property has been sold, I have to think about how to live." Martial arts, exercises, internal strength, masters, maybe this is a different path. ”
Before coming to the cottage, Huang Xiao did have the intention of seeking death, but now he has found something he is interested in, and he has never felt a sense of longing before.
"If I can't comprehend and practice this ordinary exercise, then wouldn't it be a castle in the air to become a master?" Huang Xiao clenched his fists and made a decision in his heart.
The next day, Huang Xiao got up early, and in the courtyard, according to the words in the book, he practiced "Snake Stalker" according to the routine. Although Huang Xiao didn't fully understand the practice method, some of the moves in it could be practiced first.
"Hehe, Brother Huang, your hand is twisting around, it's so weird, what are you doing?" At this time, Liu Qin came over and saw Huang Xiao practicing, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"It's you, I'm practicing. Huang Xiao smiled.
"Practice? No, my father's practice is not like this. Liu Qin said seriously, "Daddy's punches and feet are full of strength, how can it be like you, twisting hands and feet, no strength at all, how can there be such martial arts?"
"Oh?" Huang Xiao smiled and said, "I don't know about other martial arts, but this martial arts is practiced like this, by the way, do you have something to do with me?"
"Looking for you to read and write!" Liu Qin said with a smile.
"Xiaoqin, don't bother Brother Huang. At this time, Liu Qiang also came over and said.
"Master Liu Zhai, so early?" Huang Xiao said with a smile when he saw that it was Liu Qiang.
"Isn't this thinking about 'Snake Stalker'?" Liu Qiang replied, "Just now you were making those moves the routine of 'Snake Stalker', right?"
"Dad, do I have to let Brother Huang teach me to read?" Liu Qin said dissatisfied.
"I'll study later, now your brother Huang is busy, by the way, your mother is looking for you, go and help." After Liu Qiang took Liu Qin away, he said to Huang Xiao, "Is this how this "Snake Stalker" is practiced?"
"It should be like this, yes, I am according to what the book says, Master Liu Zhai, you have practiced martial arts, what do you think of this martial arts?" To be honest, Huang Xiao has no bottom in his heart, after all, he has never been exposed to these martial arts, and he doesn't know whether what he is practicing is right or wrong.
"I'm not afraid of you laughing, the moves I've practiced over the years are just a little bit of a fight, and I can't get on the stage at all, and it's the first time I've seen these tricks just now, and I can't tell you what it is. But one thing I am sure of is that this "Snake Stalker" and my fist and foot kung fu are different ways, my fists and feet are straight forward, which makes it brute force. And "Snake Stalker" should take the road of overcoming rigidity with softness and defeating the strong with weakness. Liu Qiang said.
"Yes, Snake Stalker does. Since you don't know it, I'm not sure if it's effective. Huang Xiao said.
"It's simple, let's test it, come, you use the moves of "Snake Stalker" to play a few tricks with me. Liu Qiang said.
"What?" Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Liu, are you kidding, I just practiced a few moves today, and I haven't been proficient yet, how can I have a trick with you?"
"It's not a real fight, I just want to try this "Snake Stalker" move. Liu Qiang said.
"Only a move?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Yes, moves, you can practice the moves from "Snake Stalker" at me, so I can learn them too. Liu Qiang said.
Huang Xiao nodded and said, "Then try it." ”
"What kind of move is this?"
Huang Xiao's hands tightly clasped Liu Qiang's key points, and Liu Qiang asked with some surprise. However, Liu Qiang broke Huang Xiao's hands with a slight effort.
"Snake-ridden. Huang Xiao replied, "Master Liu, what do you think of this move?"
"What else to try again. Liu Qiang asked.
So Huang Xiao used all the tricks he comprehended to Liu Qiang, waiting for Liu Qiang's comments.
"Amazing, the martial arts on this secret are extraordinary. Liu Qiang sighed.
"Master Liu Zhai, didn't you say before that this "Snake Stalker" is an ordinary exercise? What now?" asked Huang Xiao. He was still very puzzled in his heart, after all, from Liu Qiang's previous words, he knew that this "Snake Stalker" was not a profound exercise.
"Brother Huang, this is your understanding, I said that "Snake Stalker" can only be regarded as an ordinary exercise, after all, it is only an external exercise. But there is one thing you may not understand, after all, you have not been exposed to martial arts before. Let's put it this way, the martial arts exercises that can be recorded in the book are not simple, and the fist and foot kung fu like the one I learned is not qualified to be recorded in the book as a success method at all. What I said before is just a general exercise, just relative to the internal exercise. In fact, as long as the exercises are recorded, they are extremely precious in the rivers and lakes. Liu Qiang said with a smile.
"But I don't think there's anything powerful about this "Snake Stalker", I made these moves unable to withstand even a single move in the hands of Master Liu Zhai. Huang Xiao said helplessly.
"Brother Huang, that's for sure. You're just making moves, just shapes, and no power at all. Even if "Snake Stalker" is a profound grappling technique, overcoming rigidity with softness, but this is just beyond the limit of your restraint, so naturally there is no way. You have never been exposed to martial arts before, plus you are from a talented background, and your strength is much smaller than that of ordinary people, and after all, I have practiced martial arts for decades, so I can naturally crack these moves lightly. If you can train your strength, then if you perform these moves again, then the power will be much greater. I can only say that, my current strength can lift a boulder of up to 300 catties, and if you can lift a 100-catty boulder lightly one day, then it may be difficult for me to crack this "Snake Stalker". That's the power of the exercises. Liu Qiang explained.
"Three hundred catties?" Huang Xiao said with some dumbfoundedness.
"It's nothing, you have to know that as long as the master of internal strength is trained, those people can lift a thousand pounds of boulders as easily as eating. And those of us who have no internal strength, it is already the limit to be able to reach 500 catties, this is the difference between external strength and internal strength, but unfortunately it is really too difficult to learn internal strength. Unless you have good martial arts qualifications and are valued by those sects, then you will have the opportunity to learn the internal exercises. Liu Qiang said.
Before, I wanted to say that Huang Xiao just felt that this internal strength was very magical, and he didn't have much concept in his heart, but now Liu Qiang made such a clear comparison, let him know that the same person who practices martial arts, whether he has internal strength or not, the gap in the strength of these two people is unimaginable. In addition to this surprise, there is also the surprise of the exercises. As Liu Qiang said, if he has the strength of 100 catties, then he can also fight Liu Qiang with "Snake Stalker". This exercise can increase a person's strength several times, and this is an ordinary exercise, wouldn't those powerful exercises be even more powerful.
