Chapter 3 On the Courage to Read the Stars

Chang Sihao said: "Just now I saw that your shot is strong, and it should be compatible with this palm, but your skills are not enough, and the strong internal strength will not achieve the effect, but I am afraid that after a long time of practice, I will give birth to internal injuries, your grandfather said that your skills are not enough to learn, probably referring to this." ”

Qin Juexiang grinned: "Then what should I do? Could it be that I have to learn the moves first, and then use my internal strength when my skills are deep? That would really suffocate people." He paced slowly, thought about the corners of his lips, and said: "Big brother, you have just learned this set of palm techniques, but you can play so well, obviously your internal strength and mental method are outstanding, why don't you teach me?"

"Hmm......" Chang Sihao didn't say anything when he heard this, but just groaned.

Qin Juexiang felt a little embarrassed, thinking that no matter which sect or sect's internal strength and mental method were secrets that could not be passed on, Chang Sihao had learned from the old man Tianzheng, and what he had obtained was the secret of the secret, how could he easily pass it on to others? smiled and said, "I just said this casually, big brother, don't take it to heart." ”

Chang Sihao shook his head: "To be honest, the old man Baofu only passed me a set of pile methods, a set of footwork and a simple principle of force, although in your eyes my kung fu is good, in fact, I know a little about martial arts, I am a complete layman, what kind of mental method, I don't understand, so I don't know how to talk about it just now." If the purpose and key points to be adhered to when practicing are the mental method, then what I have learned to summarize it is only the four words of relaxation and nature. ”

Qin Juexiang said strangely: "The word natural is very simple, but how can you talk about it when you are calm? Fighting and confrontation are all in motion, how can you be calm? This seems to be a contradiction, but it is true in reality, from my own experience, the joints of the body are not loose, the force is in the middle of the fault, it is difficult to reach the joints, when the force is mobilized, the internal qi and the power of the muscles and bones, there is indeed a tight time, but it is a tight that is loose, such as a collapse like an explosion, you must not close your body to hit someone, it seems to be fierce, but the force is nothing. When you say collapse, it is slack, and it must be loose and unremitting, tight but not stiff. ”

Qin Juexiang high-fived and smiled: "That's right! After you said this, I remembered that my grandfather had emphasized it when he taught me to practice before, saying that it is easy to break big, although our Qin family is practicing the supreme strength, but this strength must also contain a little loose power, otherwise it is better to meet someone lower than you, and it will be dangerous to meet a person or master who is evenly matched, just like two swords, I am much harder than you, and I can easily break you, if it is almost the same, the probability of breaking it is almost the same, at this time, whoever has good toughness, who can have the upper hand." ”

Chang Sihao thought to himself that when Qin Langchuan talked to him in front of everyone that day, it wasn't this set of words, hehe, it seems that the real thing is still left to his grandson, and he only uses lies to fight with outsiders. Si people have passed away, the past is not to blame, and it is inconvenient to say it, sighed: "Yes, the avenue is connected, simple and easy, the real thing is often a sentence, or even a few words, the most precious are contained in it, you are the only blood of the Qin family, he hopes that you will become successful as soon as possible, and naturally choose the most practical and useful teaching." ”

Qin Juexiang's expression was a little gloomy: "Speaking of which, grandpa really told me a lot of this truth before, but I couldn't listen to it at the time, and I almost forgot it for a long time, and then he saw me like this, and scolded me at every turn, making me a head and two big, I heard that I want to practice martial arts, I can escape, I can hide, how can I still have the mind to learn? Now think about it carefully, I want to listen to him more when I am alive...... Alas. ”

Chang Sihao hugged his shoulder and said, "Absolutely loud, don't be discouraged, as long as you are willing to learn, it's never too late to start." ”

"Hey, hey, thank you, big brother!"

Qin Juexiang straightened his waist and continued to ask, "You talked about looseness just now, so quiet?"

"Quiet, I'm afraid you can't understand until you practice. Chang Sihao thought for a moment to find the word, and further explained: "In my opinion, it is actually peace of mind. When people are added to the sword, they will give birth to fear, resulting in rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, tightness of flesh on the body, hands and feet do not know where to put it, and the qi and blood in the body are chaotic and do not listen to the dispatch. You see your grandfather talking and laughing freely in the city, facing the Tartars thousands of horses and thousands of troops, like watching rotten grass, and not paying attention to it, that is really brave, it is a natural state of internal skills to the depths, and others can't pretend to be deliberate. ”

"Brave ......" Qin Juexiang said thoughtfully: "What you said reminds me of a story I heard before. ”

"Oh?" Chang Sihao looked at him, "Let's hear it." ”

Qin Juexiang said with interest: "During the Warring States Period, Prince Yan Dan had a grudge against King Qin, so he wanted to find someone to assassinate him, but once it didn't work, it would be bad, so the candidates were always not good, and they were looking for them, only three people were barely qualified, one was called Xia Fu, one was Song Yi, and the other was Qin Wuyang, all three of them were famous killers, he was difficult to choose, hesitated, and found an old minister who knew people called Tian What...... By the way, it's Tian Guang, let Tian Guang choose the most suitable one from these three people. When they met, Tian Guang's eyes swept over the three of them, and after looking at them for a long time, he suddenly laughed wildly and said: "These three wastes are nothing, they are all sent home and forget it!" The faces of the three people changed immediately, but the prince Dan did not dare to attack, and the prince Dan also felt that Tian Guang was a little excessive, and after waving the three killers away, he asked why, Tian Guang said: "I was just trying them just now to see the reaction." Xia Fu is brave, angry and red-faced, and it is difficult to achieve great things with impulsive temperament; Song Yi is brave, angry and blue-faced, stable on the surface, but chaotic in his heart, although he can be suppressed for a while, but not for long, once he is recognized, it will be bad; Qin Wuyang is brave, angry and white-faced, can face changes calmly and calmly, but lacks the ability to be flexible and solve things, and in the face of my ridicule, he can't refute and parry is the proof. There is only one chance to assassinate the King of Qin, and he must be taken down in one fell swoop, so none of these three people can be used, and he must find someone who is brave. Prince Dan asked the brave man what he looked like, and Tian Guang said that the brave man was not chaotic when he encountered trouble, and he was not shocked when he changed, although he was extremely angry, his face did not change. Later, he recommended Jing Ke to Prince Dan. ”

Chang Sihao said: "You are telling the story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, I have heard about the assassination of Qin, but this is the first time I have heard of the part of selecting people before." ”

Qin Juexiang nodded: "I didn't believe in any nonsense like blood and courage before, just now you talked about the question of Jing, but I immediately thought of it, I pondered, simply saying that blood Yong is too mysterious, if it is explained according to the level of martial arts, it makes sense, when a person with blood and courage encounters something, as you said, his expression is nervous, but he is afraid that his head is exploding, this kind of person obviously has no kung fu." As for the people who are brave, the blood and qi return to the heart, and the surface is calm, but in fact, the heart is beating wildly, and it is being pressed hard, and it will be exposed after a long time, which is only slightly stronger than the former. Gu Yong seems to be saying that the blood is restrained, but I feel that it should not be as good as the previous two, this kind of person has concentration and does not react, and he can't do it if he is powerful, and he can't take things seriously when he is about to do it. Shen Yong is easy to explain, both inside and outside are the same calm, even if his hands are pressed on his chest to try, his heartbeat will not be chaotic, and he can face it calmly with his burning eyebrows, and he has room to think about coping strategies, and finally solve the problem. This kind of cultivation is absolutely difficult to achieve without profound skill, because the blood and qi are not as free to operate as the limbs and siblings, and ordinary people cannot control it. ”

Chang Sihao smiled: "You mean to say that Jing Ke is likely to be a real master of the inner family?"

Qin Juexiang said: "Yes, these two things verify each other, eight or nine are not separated from ten, kung fu practice to the depths from loose to quiet, no matter how urgent the enemy is, he can always deal with it easily, as if he has a brain longer than others, Jing Ke can be selected to assassinate the king of Qin, kung fu is high, as the saying goes, art masters are bold, which is also quite consistent with what you said about the great courage of the body, in a word, Shen Yong is not just a description of psychology, but should be kung fu arrived, the body and psychology together present an overall state, courage, courage, Self-confidence, everything, is born from kung fu. ”

Chang Sihao couldn't help nodding, and finally laughed: "Okay! Well said, it's true." Absolutely loud, don't blame people for saying that your talent is very high, and your future achievements will be above others. In fact, it is not difficult to reach the realm of divine bravery, and in terms of your qualifications, there is only one word missing. ”

Qin Juexiang was stunned: "What word?"

Chang Sihao hugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Kung Fu just relies on his mouth, and it is useless to say that he is breaking the sky." ”

Qin Juexiang hehe: "Big brother, what you want to say is the word 'practice', I understand." ”

Chang Sihao said: "Yes, come, let's talk for a long time, let's actually practice! I'll teach you the pile method first, and when you stand up and feel it, it is estimated that Dazong Huizhang will be able to play freely." Qin Juexiang nodded, and set up an open frame by the spirit shed, Chang Sihao explained and demonstrated the key points in the pile, how smart is Qin Juexiang?

The sky was full of stars, and the autumn night was as quiet as a sleeping urchin, and the two of them were like sculptures, motionless in the light breeze. After only a while, Qin Jue trembled twice, fine sweat poured out, some couldn't stand it, and looked sideways at Chang Sihao's body like a flag gun, so he gritted his teeth again, but his mind was chaotic, thinking of how strict his grandfather was, and for a while it was Xinlu's smiling face, for a while it was Juhao Pavilion to attack, and for a while it was the joy of the cannon shock, left and right, and the old things that were pressed in the bottom of my heart were all going up, as if a lot of chaotic threads were intertwined, and they couldn't be straightened out. The shoulders on his body are also sore, his knees are also tight, and his breathing has become short, after half an hour, he really can't stand this pain, he jumped up, shook his shoulders and kicked his legs, shook his hands and moved, he frowned and said: "Such a simple posture, how to make the body sore, painful and so uncomfortable? It's too bitter, it's too bitter!"

Chang Sihao put away his momentum: "You have no problem with your appearance and posture now, and if you are not comfortable standing, it is naturally because you are not quiet in your heart." ”

Qin Juexiang said with a bitter face: "The thoughts in people's heads, as soon as they calm down, they will go up, where can they be controlled?Big brother, how do you manage to be calm?" Chang Sihao shook his head: "I didn't think about it, it was natural to calm down, this feeling is not well expressed, how to say it, it's like 'going in'." Take horseback riding, for example, you only need to put your feet in stirrups, put the reins in your hands, and look at the road with your eyes, and you can use your brain to think about how to step on the stirrups and how to put the reins? If you want to move forward after riding a horse for a long time, you don't have to think about it in your head, and this is how you can be quiet?

Qin Juexiang held his chin with his hand, and secretly thought in his heart: I have to do it, but I can't think about it, this thing is really delicate, grandpa once said that he didn't expect to make the Qin family's industry as big as it is now, just do it step by step, and gradually get up. However, there are some people who want to get rich every day and work hard, but they can't get rich in the end, as if God wants to have something else to do with him. It seems that this martial art is similar to the way of business.

Chang Sihao saw him meditating hard, and said with a smile: "You practice this for the first time, don't ask too much for details, don't take this too seriously, don't deliberately pursue feelings, first find the divine will, and then reshape it, grasp the fundamentals, progress will inevitably get faster, you are only afraid that the more you think about it, the more chaotic it will be." ”

Qin Juexiang heard the words and realized, moved his limbs, re-adjusted the pile and stood up, consciously or unintentionally, he tasted carefully, his body was sour, numb, hot and swollen, he didn't care, let it go, and soon the spirit platform was clear, his mind was clear, he only felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide, and the cold stars were thousands of miles away, as if they were all in his eyes but not in his eyes, and over time, this thought was also far away, his body and mind were like ice melting and fog disappearing, gradually dissolving into nothingness, and the whole spirit escaped into a realm of no thought.

I don't know how long it took, he pouted lightly, came out of the pile, his heart was refreshed, and his eyes were like water, which was very different from the previous time.

Chang Sihao looked at him with a smile: "Jue Bang, you 'go in'!"

"Yes, I'm in!" Qin Juexiang was in high spirits, "I understand what is going on with this, my body is not loose before, my heart is naturally not quiet, and if my heart is not quiet, my body is nervous, so I will stand more and more tired. Tighten the jaw and lift the pillow, the top can wear the sky, stand with both feet, step through the ground, this body is like a tree, can stand luxuriant, vibrant, not only feel uncomfortable, even a little tired can not feel, than a safe sleep is more comfortable. As he spoke, a palm volleyed out in the air, and he was full of energy, so that the mourning flags in the courtyard trembled, and he laughed again: "The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the lamplight, haha, the gist of this superior martial arts, it turned out to be around and in front of him, and he could get it at his fingertips, so simple, so easy, but human nature prefers mystery, and always thinks that complex things can practice real kung fu, and strive to pursue, but in fact, it is the opposite." If you know that you can get it without asking for it, why should you step on the iron shoes?"

Chang Sihao said with a smile: "Yes, it's very simple, there is no mystery, in fact, what is the difference between martial arts and dressing and eating?

The two talked about practice, talked and laughed, and when they were tired, they lay on their backs on the dart car and chatted and joked, admiring the moon with their pillow arms, and forgot their worries for a while. Qin Juexiang suddenly said, "Big brother, how about we make a bet?" I said that there will be rain tomorrow. ”

Chang Sihao asked, "How do you know?"

Qin Juexiang smiled and pointed to the celestial star: "You see, the Beidou is obscure, and the fairy queen is bright, obviously the yin and yang are reversed, the yin qi is rushing, and the yang qi is thin, but the sixth star of the Beidou Kaiyang has the meaning of gradually becoming brighter, it can be seen that the yang qi is also gradually becoming stronger, the two qi are oblique, the trend is slow, and the day will be handed over to the Tianhe after the dawn. ”

Chang Sihao was skeptical and said: "You actually know how to watch the stars, in my heart, this kind of thing is only Zhuge Liang on the stage." ”

Qin Juexiang smiled: "I am a research institution, of course, I also have a dabbling in this, in fact, the astrological meteorology is also very simple, but people who don't understand it like to make it mysterious." Big brother, you have learned that practicing martial arts is the same as eating and dressing, how can you not understand this? You think, there is yin and yang in the sky, there are men and women, men and women can have children together, yin and yang are combined, wind and thunder turn rain, nourish heaven and earth, and make all things grow. In fact, the ideas of the ancient people were very simple, and now people always think about the complexity when they read ancient books, and the result is naturally that the more they think about it, the more they don't understand, and the more they feel that the ancients are unfathomable. ”

Chang Sihao nodded his head and looked up to read the stars, smacking the taste, only to feel that there were many confusions in his heart in the past, and there was a vague answer, and the truths and laws in different fields were all integrated.

The road of martial arts, no matter how high the skill is, there is also its limit, and after practice, it is to divide the realm with the mind, and to understand the high and low. Many masters are constantly honing their skills, and no matter how strong their combat power is, it is difficult to enter the country, all because they are persistent in their hearts and lag themselves. And Chang Sihao's inner evolution at the moment has made him unconsciously go to the next level.

Qin Juexiang saw that he was distracted and contemplative, and said with a smile: "Big brother, how is it? Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "That's the best, in this state, it's not far from the trick." Haha, if you are interested in this astrology, I will be a teacher for you. Seeing Chang Sihao nodding, he began to speak. He said it plainly and easily, and most of the examples and analogies he gave were a little funny, which made Chang Sihao feel both mysterious and interesting, and he didn't feel how difficult it was. Qin Juexiang usually has no friends, and all the maids in the house are afraid of him, who is willing to listen to him talk about this? This time with an audience, the more he talked, the more interested he became.

Time passed, the chickens crowed, the sky was getting brighter, the miscellaneous people in the kitchen had already gotten up to prepare breakfast, An Ziteng came over to replace them, the two of them went to fetch water and wash, and after everything was cleaned up and returned to the front hall of the dart bureau for dinner, Qin Juexiang asked for a piece of black satin, and went to the spirit shed to wrap Qin Langchuan's ashes, and ordered people to prepare horses, An Ziteng said: "Young master, this spirit has not even been guarded for three days to move the ashes, but I'm afraid it's not very suitable, do you really want to go so urgent?"
