Ye Xing asked Uncle Lin expectantly, "Uncle, can I join the sect? What are the requirements?"
Boss Lin nodded and said, "Yes! As long as you participate in the selection, it is possible. With your qualifications, you should have a great chance."
Ye Xing asked again, "When can I go to the selection? I can't wait!"
Boss Lin laughed and said, "The selection time of each sect is different, and the requirements are different, and each selection may change temporarily, but as long as you perform outstandingly, you will have a chance there. If you can't become a disciple, you can still Become a member of a peripheral power.”
Boss Lin continued, "Song Guo Clan, Sword Saint Villa, and Phoenix Villa cannot join. They are all members of the clan with their own surname or close relatives and do not recruit outsiders. The remaining six sects only look at qualifications."
Ye Xing asked again, "Uncle Lin, what advice do you have for me? I'm ready now, so I won't be in a hurry then!"
Boss Lin said, "I told you to wait for a while yesterday because there will be a selection meeting for sects in the county at the end of the year. What you need is to prepare now. If you perform well, you can join the outer circle even if your qualifications are not good. power."
"Back then, my uncle made a set of boxing and kicking skills that was recognized by the Baji Sect. Although he didn't become a disciple during the qualification test, he still made me a peripheral member." Boss Lin was a little proud.
Ye Xing's eyes shone, "Uncle Lin, can you teach me?"
Boss Lin laughed and said, "Of course, you are my nephew. As long as you want to learn, of course I will teach you. All I know is external skills. I can only let you learn it to deal with the little thieves."
"To become a master, you must join a sect before you can learn the truly advanced martial arts."
"And if you don't have high-strength skills to travel around the world, it will be difficult for you to move forward."
Boss Lin took Ye Xing to the open space in the backyard and began to teach boxing.
He also learned this tiger-shaped boxing set from a senior. There are 18 movements in the set, which are majestic and majestic.
It moves like a tiger descending the mountain, and the moves are simple and powerful. Boss Lin is in his prime, and when he uses it, he is really calm and powerful.
Ye Xing was dazzled and his eyes were shining. A person cannot be judged by his appearance. Such a middle-aged fat man, an ordinary greasy middle-aged man, actually has good skills.
Ye Xing always thought that Uncle Lin was just a restaurant owner, short and fat, just a businessman full of copper odor.
Now I know that this is not the case at all. It shows how unreliable appearance is. It is always wrong to judge people by their appearance.
Tiger-shaped boxing imitates the tiger's movements such as pouncing on food, jumping, and running around. It uses the tiger shape as the boxing, the mind as the spirit, and the energy as the energy.
When the energy is exerted, the strong eyes are angry, and the tiger is staring at it. An angry tiger comes out of the forest, with two claws pulling up the mountain. Each step is heavy and slow, not paying attention to anything else, just using force to use force.
Claws are mostly used in the hand movements, focusing on the strength of the fingers, short hitting and hard work. The upper hand is mainly about closing the door, defending first and then attacking, and the movements are compact.
The footwork is mainly steady, and there are also light leaps to take advantage of the situation.
The emphasis on each move is to penetrate the fingertips and exert force as high as a mountain.
Boss Lin demonstrated it twice, and then carefully taught Ye Xing the first six postures, constantly correcting Ye Xing's mistakes in movements, and asked Ye Xing to memorize them all before he went out.
These six postures are all in the form of a tiger, standing, walking, patrolling, standing, lifting, roaring, and must be coordinated with breathing.
It was Ye Xing's first time learning martial arts, so he felt a little unconfident and his movements were uncoordinated.
Ye Xing typed it over and over again. After dozens of times, he finally mastered all the details.
But Ye Xing just felt that he only had the form but not the spirit, which was far worse than Boss Lin.
It doesn't have the aura of a tiger or a tiger at all. It is at most a cat fist, not a tiger fist.
I ran to ask Uncle Lin, and Boss Lin said, "Aura is created by the close cooperation between a person's appearance and movements. Change your jumping footwork to make it look like a tiger instead of a little rabbit. It is a calm footwork. In your heart, you must be yourself." It’s a tiger.”
"The so-called having a tiger in your heart means that you first think of yourself as a tiger, and then you can do what you do to have the aura of a tiger, otherwise it's just imitation."
Ye Xing was right when he thought about it. What he had practiced for more than ten years was the footwork for speed. It was just the jumping of a small beast, not the patrolling movement of a tiger like the king of the forest.
Returning to the backyard, I calmed down and took it upon myself to practice each step step by step. After practicing for another afternoon, I finally got some form and spirit into the Tiger Form 6 posture, but it still didn't have much charm.
In the evening, Boss Lin watched Ye Xing's practice, nodded, and taught him the other six poses.
These 6 moves are the tiger's hunting moves, tiger double pounce, tiger bite, tiger whip, tiger turn, tiger kick, and tiger roll over. These moves are very difficult and require a lot of details.
Boss Lin practiced it many times, but Ye Xing only remembered a general idea, mainly because the details were not up to standard. Boss Lin patiently explained it many times before leaving, allowing him to figure it out on his own.
Ye Xing practiced over and over again until late at night. He was very tired. Finally he felt a little proficient and felt a little satisfied before he stopped to rest.
The Green Wolf Gang found nothing, and after a thorough inspection of Yunshan Town, they withdrew. When no one was paying attention, Ye Xing jumped out of the window and climbed to the top of the tree to retrieve his luggage.
After washing up, I studied the graphics in the booklet under an oil lamp.
Ye Xing was under the lamp, reading, thinking, and gesticulating with his hands. There were many changes in the palms, fingers, and fists of each move of "Mianruozhang".
It wasn't until he completely memorized the four figures that Ye Xing turned off the lights and went to sleep. He always had to think for a long time while lying down. This was a habit and a necessary training for the brain. The details of the day would be constantly replayed.
Ye Xing practiced the 12 tiger-shaped poses over and over again in his mind, practicing them hundreds of times. He kept recalling the details of his movements without missing a single step.
In fact, moves are very important. Only those who have moves are organized. It is not just a random attack. I used to look good, but in fact I just have flexible hands and feet.
Ye Xing had never considered the more important methods and techniques of using power and properly adjusting his breath before. That was because he didn't understand martial arts at all.
Ye Xing still discovered many details that were incongruous and inappropriate for him. The moves actually differed from person to person. He had to make detailed adjustments according to his own physical condition. He could only ask Uncle Lin for advice tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Ye Xing beat him more than a dozen times, but still felt that his beating was stiff and uncoordinated, so he asked Uncle Lin again.
Boss Lin said, "The moves are dead, but the person is alive. The postures of the first 6 postures must be connected with the predatory movements of the second 6 postures. When your posture and predatory movements are coordinated, you will reach the tiger shape. preliminary requirements.”
"The last six movements cannot be learned until you have mastered them all."
Ye Xing practiced for two more days, but still couldn't achieve fusion. He could only make some progress after doing moves with Uncle Lin a few times.
Boss Lin pointed out Ye Xing's fault. The fundamental reason was that he did not have the momentum of a tiger, and he was not natural enough and felt a bit rigid.
Maybe because it wasn't a life and death fight, I couldn't show that kind of ferocity, and I felt that my hands and feet were not strong enough.
Ye Xing also knew what his problem was. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go to the mountains to practice for a while.
Ye Xing's tiger-shaped fist did not achieve that kind of momentum because he had never seen a real tiger. In his impression, the tiger was still the image of the previous life.
The tiger in this world is a completely new animal. This tiger is also the king of the mountain forest, but it looks like a completely different beast. Now everything is imagined.
Ye Xing's idea was that it would be best to observe the tiger's form and movements while hunting deep in the mountain forest.
It would be perfect if you could fight with a tiger;
The second is to collect herbs and make some preparations for going to the county town in the future. I have to earn some money to participate in the selection meeting.
Ye Xing understood that without actual combat training, any martial arts skills would be useless.
Early the next morning, after informing Uncle Lin, Ye Xing took his baggage and went up the mountain.
Ye Xing determined that there must be tigers on the mountain. He could observe the tiger's shape, which would definitely be helpful in mastering the Tiger Shape Fist.
The most important thing is to constantly fight with various beasts on the mountain, which is the best training.
Yunshan Town itself is also at the foot of the Ziyun Mountain Range, but this area is relatively flat and has a relatively large population.
Therefore, Ye Xing headed towards the depths of Ziyun Mountain not far out of the town.
Ye Xing is very familiar with the mountains and forests. There is nothing to be afraid of. Of course, you still have to be careful.
He already knows that there are many people in the world who are more powerful than him, so there must be many beasts more powerful than him.
In fact, he had read many books that mentioned the existence of extremely powerful beasts.
There are powerful beasts in the mountains and forests, and they must be poisonous. You can't be careless!
Every time he entered the deep forest, Ye Xing's consciousness became extremely concentrated, monitoring everything around him.
For the sake of my own life, I really have no right to be careless!
