Hong Kang took Zhao Xinchuan on the mountain road.
Liu Cheng originally offered to send a horse, but Hong Kang refused.
Traveling can not only exercise your physical fitness, but also enjoy the scenery.
Anyway, the master and apprentice are not in a hurry now.
On the way, Hong Kang tested Zhao Xinchuan's current skills again.
In the past half year, he had been immersed in the practice of stimulating sword energy, and he paid little attention to his young apprentice. He only assigned him cultivation tasks and occasionally gave him some advice. .
"Come on, Xiaochuan, let's do a set of boxing and see."
"Yes, Master."
Zhao Xinchuan, who is ten years old, has reached Hong Kang's chest due to martial arts training to strengthen his body.
He stretched out his arms, and each move of "Tai Chi" was executed in his hands like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Compared with the time when he first learned, Zhao Xinchuan seems to be much more satisfied in terms of boxing feel and body transformation.
Moreover, in the practice of thirteen postures, Zhao Xinchuan coordinated each posture with his own breathing.
Inhale and exhale slowly and softly, opening and closing widely.
Hong Kang nodded secretly: "Ogawa is already well-known for the essence of this [pine]. And the qi and blood flow smoothly throughout the body, running through every step."
Because of the skill of "stretching muscles and pulling out bones", Zhao Xinchuan still works hard every day even without Hong Kang's supervision.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhao Xinchuan is still young and has strong plasticity.
Coupled with Hong Kang's guidance, after half a year of "stretching tendons and pulling out bones", Zhao Xinchuan's wrist joints, elbow joints, and shoulder joints in his upper limbs, ankle joints, knee joints, and hip joints in his lower limbs, as well as the spine on the back of his body, were 20 times stronger. The four big joints have been pulled and loosened.
"Master, how is your training going?"
After a set of punches, Zhao Xinchuan immediately ran to Hong Kang and said as if he wanted to take credit.
After any child has achieved results, he always wants to show off to his elders.
Or for a compliment, or perhaps for a reward.
Although Zhao Xinchuan is a martial arts practitioner, it cannot change the fact that he is only ten years old and still has the nature of a child.
"Not bad, he has become famous." Hong Kang stretched out his right hand.
He said, "Come on, let me help you. Just use your full strength."
"Okay." Zhao Xinchuan said.
He was not worried at all about hurting Hong Kang because he knew how powerful his master was.
Zhao Xinchuan took a deep breath and put on the air of "Tai Chi".
Shift the center of gravity to the left, turn the upper body to the left, sink the hips, and a horizontal force rises from the soles of the feet and goes straight to the waist;
Turn your waist and shoulders, and lunge to the left. Use the belt, body and arm to transfer the strength to your hands, and rotate your right fist to punch forward.
"Loose, play, shake, release, you use this hand [brachial hammer] very well!"
Hong Kang praised, and at the same time used a "cloud hand".
The right palm moved downward in an arc in front of the abdomen and turned to the left, thus neutralizing Zhao Xinchuan's attack.
Through the handshake just now, Hong Kang also understood that Zhao Xinchuan's physical condition at this time was much stronger than that of his peers.
This peer refers to the orphans who are studying at [Tai Chi Sect].
Those orphan disciples did not have the power of Zhao Xinchuan when they were ten years old.
This shows that Zhao Xinchuan has not given up on the practice of "The Golden Bell".
Hong Kang said to him: "Then, Xiaochuan, you can start the next [Song Shen] practice."
Zhao Xinchuan said: "[Song Chen]??"
Hong Kang said: "Yes, this stage is to lay the foundation for subsequent Qi training."
"This [Looseness and Shen] does not refer to the downward movement, nor the squatting movement, but the sinking of the breath in the Dantian."
"Breathe deeply through the lungs, so that the Qi can penetrate into the bones, and the inner Qi will rise. The force you practice will become more pure and pure."
"At this stage, when you breathe, you need to expel the air through the nose, and your breath is intended to sink down, from the body to the soles of the feet."
"With your talent, Xiaochuan, you should be able to achieve this in less than a year. By then, you will be able to enter the next step of practice."
If Peng Ganwu were here, he would know that the "Tai Chi" that Hong Kang is now teaching Zhao Xinchuan is not exactly the kind of "Tai Chi Sect".
The disciples of [Tai Chi Sect] are allowed to hone their strength for ten years at this time. When the time is right, they will be taught the method of practicing Qi.
The "Tai Chi" taught by Hong Kang to Zhao Xinchuan is the crystallization of wisdom from his many worlds, and Hong Kang has his own set of procedures.
It allows Zhao Xinchuan to hone his muscles and bones while practicing strength, and exercise his sense of Qi through breathing.
By the time you start practicing Qi officially, your progress will be rapid! !
"Okay, let's go to the provincial capital."
"Master, are you going to meet Xiaobao, Sanchun and the others?!!"
"Yes, go see them."
…
When the master and apprentice arrived at the provincial capital, it happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The streets are already very lively.
Before you know it, another year has passed!
The sun has not set yet, and there is still a slight drizzle in the sky.
The breeze carried the drizzle, washing the city clean inside and out.
Various craftsmen walked through the streets, packing up all their belongings with only a backpack on their backs.
They seemed to be looking for a place to prepare for the evening's performance.
A pair of old cloth shoes, a painted umbrella, and a Gebu coat, this is the craftsman of this era.
After traveling for such a long time, both of them were tired.
Not being tired doesn't mean that he won't be stained by the dust of travel. Hong Kang first took Zhao Xinchuan to an inn to clean up.
After filling his stomach, Zhao Xinchuan looked around at the dragon bodies, lion heads, stilts, etc., and was very interested.
"Master, what are they doing?"
"Have you forgotten what day it is today?" Hong Kang asked.
"Today?? It's the fifteenth! Oh! It's the Lantern Festival!!" Zhao Xinchuan exclaimed with joy.
Lantern Festival, in Zhao Xinchuan's mind, is synonymous with liveliness and prosperity.
There will definitely be a lot of delicious and fun things today. He looked at Hong Kang eagerly.
Hong Kang smiled and tapped his head and said, "Okay, let's take a break from today's practice! Master will take you to have some fun."
"Yeah!!" Zhao Xinchuan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Hong Kang looked at Zhao Xinchuan's appearance and felt a little sigh in his heart.
The so-called contented person is always happy, just because Xiaochuan can be so happy during every festival.
Some children in later generations don't like to celebrate festivals at all, and just like to hold their mobile phones and "eat chicken" and "king" all day long.
After eating and drinking, it was almost evening.
All kinds of beautiful lanterns are put out on the streets, they are colorful and look like daytime.
Fireworks were also set off, lighting up the stars in the sky in all directions.
The gong sounded "dang".
Haokan and Zhao Xinchuan looked up and saw that the dragon dance team was coming.
The dragon's body is winding and flexible, as if it is really swimming in the air.
There are still fireworks coming out of the dragon's mouth, which is very beautiful.
Behind is the lion dance.
Several large red and yellow lions moved left and right, opening and closing their mouths, shaking their heads at the onlookers.
The sound of drums and gongs was mixed together, and the man shouted with the lion ball, and the lion started running towards the lion ball, shaking his head, kicking his feet on the ground, and turning and twisting around the lion ball.
Someone nearby said cheerfully: "As the saying goes: "One steals glutinous rice balls, two steals greens, three steals eaves lamps, and four steals reds." It's been a long time since it was so lively!!"
Hong Kang heard this interestingly and turned his head to see a bald man.
Wearing a short black mandarin jacket, very old-fashioned, he must be in his fifties or sixties.
Hong Kang smiled and asked: "Oh? I know this "picking green", but what does "stealing green and stealing red" mean? Can the old gentleman explain it?!"
