Traveling in the world requires a certain skill.
In those days, I mainly received training in these aspects, including taking medicine, starving, freezing, memorizing map locations, and practicing exercises, some of which benefited me throughout my life.
The eight-step cicada is a footwork used to avoid the opponent's attack. It was widely spread in the folk martial arts circles in the past! Similar to Tai Chi, there are many versions, some of which are authentic, and some of which are just fake ones. What I learned is the Monkey Comes to the Door version.
is that useful?
Of course it works!
Even if so much time has passed, if you find a young guy who practices Sanda to fight with me, I can't beat him, but he can't even think of hitting me in the face.
The monkey on the horse has long since died. I will tell you the general outline of the eight steps to drive away the cicada. Those who can understand it are intelligent people.
Eight steps to catch the cicada.
It means: one step to look at the shadow, two steps to dodge, three steps to roll forward and back, four steps to dodge and lean back, five steps like willows swinging in the wind, six thousand miles of gap, seven steps to circle the city, eight or eight steps to chase cicadas.
Legend has it that after practicing to the last step, you can be as light as a swallow and can easily catch cicadas on trees.

"You brat! Why are you so stupid!"
"I've been studying for several days! I can't even learn the starting position!"
My nose and face were bruised and swollen from being beaten, so I said with a grimace: "Master Monkey, it's not that I don't study hard, it's just that your starting position is too difficult."
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm adding two stakes to him!"
"Okay, Mr. Monkey!"
The bearded man agreed, and there was a strange "reinforcement array" on the ground.
The bearded man found two steel bars with a diameter of one centimeter. He bent the steel bars directly with his hands and broke them into a "U shape". Then he waved his palm like a hammer, and with a few palms, he broke the U-shaped steel bars. His head slammed down into the soil! A pile array was formed.
I stepped on it with my bare feet and my feet hurt.
The numbers one to sixteen were written in chalk next to each pile formation!
The old man shouted: "Left foot up nine! Left foot left six! Right foot back twelve!"
I couldn’t look down at the numbers and had to immediately step on the corresponding steel bars with my toes.
If I hesitated or stepped on something wrong, he would immediately whip me with his belt.
The most difficult thing is that you can’t step on the right position behind because you can’t see it at all! It’s especially easy to miss the mark!
If you study carefully, you will find that these points completely correspond to the Kun position, shape position, etc. in Yin and Yang theory.
"Tsk tsk...I can see it."
The bearded man suddenly said: "Master Monkey, the reason why this kid can't practice well is because he has never practiced horse stance, which makes his lower body unstable. This is a flaw. Time is limited now, so I think it's better to let him learn how to do it directly." Wind Swings Willow Step, that move does not require high basic requirements."
The old man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense. Boy, do you hate me for beating you?"
I immediately said: "Master teaches! Hitting means pain and scolding means love! How can the apprentice hate it?"
As soon as he heard what I said, the old man grinned and said, "You are such a good disciple. I will show you the Wind Walking Willow Step again."
"Come on, hit me on the head, think about me killing your parents, don't spare any effort," he said, throwing a one-meter-long steel rod to me.
Seeing the little old man in front of me with his head lowered, I tightened my grip on the stick and swallowed. I thought, at such a close distance, would I be able to open his head if I hit him with the stick?
"Come on, you bastard! I'll hit you if I ask you to! Why are you moaning like an old woman!"
I cursed in my mind: “Fuck you!” He didn't care about anything, with red eyes, he picked up the stick and threw it at his head!
The old man obviously lowered his head and avoided the blow without even looking.
I don't believe in evil, and I don't pay attention to any rules. I'm like a gangster fighting with a stick and waving it around!
A strange scene happened. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never believe it.
The old man put his hands behind his back, he had a smile on his face, and he didn't move his feet very much. He would dodge or step back, close his feet or bend over, so my stick could never touch his body!
I got mad, yelling and slapping hard!
Soon I had a strange feeling. It seemed that the old man in front of me was no longer a person, but a dead leaf that had fallen from the tree. What made the leaves sway back and forth was not the power of the leaves themselves, but the wind.
Gradually, I stopped what I was doing, closed my eyes and tried to recall that feeling.
Then I only heard the old man's voice saying: "Oh, this is my realization! It seems that you still have some talent! Yes, remember this feeling, no matter how fast the opponent's attack is, don't have a trace of it in your heart. If you are afraid, you should make your mind move with you, like the wind swinging willows."
I opened my eyes and my vision was clear.
I said to the bearded man: "I understand that feeling, senior brother, come and hit me below and on my head."
"Haha! Okay! I'll give it a try!"
At that moment, watching the bearded man's sandbag-sized fist attack, I imagined myself as a fallen leaf, so I kept my lower body still and my neck to the left.
Then, like a falling leaf, I was punched on the left side of the face by the bearded man, and then I lost consciousness.
.....
When I woke up, it was completely dark. There was a fire in the warehouse, and only the bearded man was warming himself there.
My face was burning and hurting. I touched it lightly with my hand and it felt swollen.
"you're awake."
"Brother, where is the master?"
He turned around and said: "Don't call me master, and don't call me senior brother. We are just entrusted by Wu Le to teach you some life-saving methods, and we have not agreed to accept you as a disciple."
"Oh, then I'll call you Brother Hu's head office, right?"
He thought for a moment, nodded and said yes.
I curiously asked: "Brother Huzi, if you meet Xie Qirong one-on-one against Master Monkey Mount, can you beat him?"
The bearded man looked stunned and asked me with a serious face: "Have you seen that rattle?"
I said I had seen it before and had been in contact with it for a while.
He sounded incredulous and asked me again: "Then how did you survive?"
"Brother Beard, this is a long story. I can't explain it in one or two sentences. Now I just want to know what will happen if he fights two people."
After listening to my question, the bearded man fell into thinking.
After a long time, he said to me seriously: "There are only a handful of people in the club who can beat Rattle. Master and I together are probably no match for him. That lunatic cultivates internal strength. Rumor has it that he The refining qigong has been practiced to the point of reverse growth and returning to nature. In addition, he is not mentally healthy and is a lunatic."
"The angle of attack of a madman is often unpredictable. Even if my master uses his full strength to catch the cicada in eight steps, he may only be able to sustain it for half a quarter of an hour at most."
"Fuck..."
"Then it's useless for me to learn this thing?"
The bearded man seemed to have heard the big joke and laughed: "No way! You said you learned this just to deal with the rattles in the meeting? Then you should go to bed as soon as possible. I tell you clearly! You are here It’s impossible even after thirty years of training!”
My heart trembled and my face turned pale.
The bearded man then said: "You are so discouraged. Let alone Huili, even among the eight gates, Rattle is one of the best. You won't avoid him."
"No! Brother Beard, I'm going to the mental hospital! He is also locked up in the mental hospital! How can I hide! Where can I hide!"
He said: "It is true that they are all in the mental hospital, but it is impossible for you two to meet each other. Last time, because he ran out, one of the five masters of the Pi County Nursing Home was killed and three were injured. After he was captured, Rattle was directly imprisoned in the mental hospital. At the bottom, there is a janitor guarding the place in shifts, so you won’t be able to see him.”
That's fine, I breathed a sigh of relief.
It is no exaggeration to say that after experiencing that night in Yulin, Xianyang, there has always been a lingering shadow in my heart, so I really can't see people wearing white down on the street at night, because I will be scared.
"By the way, Brother Beard, you are well-informed. Can you tell me what kind of place Jiamusi Mental Hospital is?"
"What kind of place..."
The bearded man thought for a moment, then raised his head and sighed: "There are three religions and nine streams, all kinds of varieties. It is the epitome of the new society and the dream of the older generation in the old society."
He turned around and said: "Boy, you live in a peaceful era, so there are many people and things you have never seen. I think that by your next generation, those various descendants of the old society will gradually disappear. "
"People will age and die, and resources will be depleted. Just like your business of robbing tombs to find gold, if you keep robbing, there will probably be only an urn left underground in a few hundred years, right? No ancient tombs will be found."
I rubbed my face and thought for a while: "This is a fact. It's not just us tomb robbers, but also archaeologists. As long as we do it, the ancient tomb will no longer exist. Hundreds of years later, my descendants may not be able to find it." A grave, but...does that have anything to do with me?"
As a human being, you must live in the present. Anyway, I just have tomb robbers now.
If my tomb is robbed a hundred years later, I will not be angry at all. This is my realization.
"Brother Beard, why don't you tell me about the gatekeepers in the mental hospital? I don't know anything about them."
He immediately shook his head and said: "I definitely can't say this. The identity of the gatekeeper is confidential. I know a little bit about it, but there are corresponding rules in the association. Although I am a member of Wu Le, I am more loyal to the rules."
"Brother Beard, please, just tell me! At least I'm mentally prepared before you let me in! You know who is the hardest to mess with inside."
"Haha, it's impossible. I have to keep the rules secret. You should give up this idea as soon as possible. Anyway, you will find out sooner or later after you go in and stay for a few days."
He refused to speak, so I had no choice but to give up.
At around one o'clock in the evening, I woke up from my sleep and saw the bearded man standing by the fire with his head down and looking at his mobile phone seriously. I understood that he was afraid that I would run away.
I quietly walked up behind him, took a quick look, and found that he was staring at a picture of a beautiful woman on his phone.
It's a very old internet picture, of a smiling girl with curly hair and big balls, wearing a black butt-covering skirt, with her hands covering her chest.
He was so fascinated that he didn't even notice me.
"Hey!"
"Damn it! You kid! You scared me to death!"
I rubbed my hands and smiled: "Brother Beard, what's so interesting about this? Nothing is exposed. Do you want to see something more exciting?"
"Oh, can you download it for me?"
"Yes! I can download it, I have a good website!"
The bearded man frowned and thought for a while, then handed me the phone and said, "Then you can get it for me."
I took his mobile phone and directly entered Monternet, and told him: "Brother Hu, you can remember this website address."
ten minutes later.
The bearded man wiped his fresh nosebleed with his hand. He raised his head and smiled at me: "Damn it, this is good!"
