Chapter 3: Beginner Martial Arts

"I also have profound energy?" Yang Dingtian said in surprise.

"Practice boxing, practice for three hours." The old man said: "The important thing in boxing practice is not the correct movement, but how to communicate with the profound energy in your belly, so that your boxing technique and profound energy can be integrated, and learn how to master your belly. Profound energy. Not only must the profound energy be gathered from the muscles and veins into the sea of ​​​​qi, but you must also learn to induce the profound energy in the sea of ​​​​qi to all parts of the muscles and veins, so that you can play the role of battle."

"How to communicate?" Yang Dingtian asked.

The old man said, "Go and feel it!"

After speaking, the old man closed his eyes.

Yang Dingtian began to practice the first move of Zhengyang Boxing. At first, he kept his eyes open and did not dare to make mistakes. As a result, the profound energy in the sea of ​​qi in the lower abdomen did not respond at all. After practicing dozens of times, the profound energy still did not respond. So, Yang Dingtian simply closed his eyes to contact him, and he didn't care whether the moves were accurate or not. He forced his eyes to feel the profound energy. The result made him overjoyed, and the little mouse was about to move. But it was just around the corner, as if the attraction was not enough to lead him to all over the muscles.

Yang Dingtian still closed his eyes and practiced boxing, desperately trying to feel the little mouse, desperately trying to get close to it and summon it. Who knows, the more you want to get close to it, the more reserved it will become.

So, Yang Dingtian opened his eyes again, ignoring this little mouse with profound energy, and practiced it in the correct way, dozens of times. Then, practice with closed eyes again to feel the little mouse with profound energy.

Who would have guessed that just when I closed my eyes to practice boxing, and felt the little mouse with my heart, the little mouse jumped up impatiently, and was about to disperse into the muscles and muscles of the whole body.

Yang Dingtian was overjoyed, this little mouse with profound energy seemed to be alive. If you are far away from you, you try so hard to get close to it, but it ignores you. If you ignore it, it sticks up instead.

Yang Dingtian quickly closed his eyes to practice boxing again, to feel this profound energy again. The martial arts of this world are so wonderful that Yang Dingtian indulged in it without any resistance.

"This is the end of today, don't practice any more." The old man suddenly said.

"But, that little mouse jumped suddenly, and I was about to succeed." Yang Dingtian said.

"It won't jump back to your muscles today. It jumped suddenly, which is already the biggest achievement today." The old man said: "Don't practice, if you practice again, it will go backwards."

"Alas! People are more mad than people." The old man sighed again, then slowly closed his eyes.

Yang Dingtian did not believe in evil and continued to practice secretly. I didn't expect that, as the old man said, instead of making further progress, it regressed greatly. The mouse's excitement became less and less, and finally it simply stayed there lazily.

The next day, Yang Dingtian continued to practice Qi for an hour, and felt that the little mouse seemed to be bigger and more active.

But after three hours of Zhengyang Fist, although the little mouse had been seduced and jumped desperately, it still failed to summon it out of the sea of ​​anger. It seems that the sea of ​​​​qi is extremely attractive to the little mouse, and it is reluctant to go out.

Day three, day four, day five!

Finally, Yang Dingtian drew the little mouse out of the air in his lower abdomen. Just like a real mouse, he ran around his body, completely uncontrollable. Every time he ran to a place, that place became hot and felt like it was bulging. In general, Yang Dingtian let out a low voice again.

The old man opened his eyes and saw Yang Dingtian running around. He shook his head with a sigh and said, "People are more mad than people."

It takes three months for others to lead the profound energy from the sea of ​​qi to the tendons, but it only takes five days for Yang Dingtian.

"Sit down and close your eyes to adjust your breath, and the profound energy will automatically return to the sea of ​​qi." The old man said, "The first move of Zhengyang Fist is to entrain the air. It condenses the profound energy in the muscles and veins into the sea of ​​​​qi, and accumulates it. Less becomes more, so that profound energy becomes stronger. Then, this profound energy is drawn from the sea of ​​qi into the tendons."

"So, you have finished the first move." The old man said, "The second move is to teach you how to guide and control this profound energy, when to close it, when to send it out, and where to let this profound energy go. ."

"The third trick is to teach you how to separate your profound energy. You can't knock out all your profound energy every time you hit someone. Sometimes it's just to teach people a lesson, not kill them, so you can only shoot some of them and keep some of them."

"The fourth trick is to let you learn to guide your profound energy out of the sea of ​​qi and attack the enemy, but then stop halfway, and stop your profound energy in a certain muscle and lead it to start."

"The fifth move is how to use profound energy to attack at the same time, and quickly condense the new profound energy of the whole body's muscles and veins to the sea of ​​​​qi to prepare for the next attack."

"The fifth move is the most important." Yang Dingtian said.

"Yes, the fifth move is the most important and the most difficult." The old man said: "The human body's tendons are like small rivers and rivers, and the profound energy is like the flowing water above. The sea of ​​qi in the lower abdomen is like the ocean, the small stream enters the small river, and the small river enters the big river. , big rivers into big rivers, big rivers into the sea. Profound energy comes from all things in the world, every pore, every inch of the human body is absorbing profound energy. At the same time, every part of the body began to attract profound energy from the sky and the earth. The whole process is endless, and the cycle is endless. But the speed is fast and slow. It will only take two minutes to condense profound energy again, and he has already died ten or eight times.”

Next, the old man began to draw the second, third, fourth and fifth moves of Zhengyang Quan on the snow.

"Summer is coming, and there will be less and less snow, so you have to memorize all the remaining tricks. In the next few days, I will basically not open my eyes again. You have to practice by yourself. Remember my words, practice Qi for one hour, and practice boxing for three hours." The old man said.

"Aren't you pointing me?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Zhengyang Fist and Heaven and Earth Art are both enlightenment martial arts. They are the simplest and the most difficult and the most important. Every Xuanwu practitioner must practice Zhengyang Boxing and Heaven and Earth Art before they can enter the next step of martial arts practice. A teacher will not give pointers, because there is no way to give pointers. Every martial artist has a different way of feeling and communicating with profound energy. Any guidance is not only useless, but will make the beginner martial artist go astray. , dead end."

"Therefore, Zhengyang Boxing and Heaven and Earth Art are the basics that every martial artist in this world must go through. It can even be said that from the practice of Zhengyang Boxing and Heaven and Earth Art, one can probably see the highest attainments of a warrior in this life. "The old man said: "So, this enlightenment period depends entirely on understanding and xinxing."

When Yang Dingtian heard that Zhengyang Fist and Heaven and Earth Tactics were so important, he couldn't help but say, "The sooner you complete the Heaven and Earth Tricks and Zhengyang Fist, the higher your achievements will be in the future."

"Most of them are like this, but there are a few exceptions. The key depends on the enlightenment period martial artist's perception and understanding of profound energy, as well as fit and emotion. These things really determine a martial artist's future attainment." The old man said. "Of course, this is also related to the profound veins. If a martial artist has a high talent for profound veins, then he will naturally be able to attract the profound energy of the heavens and the earth. The sea of ​​qi will be even larger, and it will naturally be more tacit to grasp the profound energy."

"So in general, if under the same conditions, a martial artist's achievements are determined by the profound veins and the xinxing three points." The old man said: "Of course, if the talents of the profound veins are equal, and the xinxing is the same. , baby, utensils, three points to see chance. Of course, in the final analysis, we still look at the profound veins.”

"How about my profound veins?" Yang Dingtian quickly asked.

The old man made a strange expression and closed his eyes.

Yang Dingtian suddenly wondered, what does the old man's strange expression mean? Could it be that his talent sucks? Not so much, right? Yang Dingtian is still quite narcissistic, and he feels that he is not too bad in any way.

Then, keep practicing!

The first move, he only used five days.

However, it took him fifteen days for the second move to control the profound energy that burst out of his fist. This profound energy directly blew the snowflakes away into a thin layer, making Yang Dingtian extremely excited and even more addicted to the mysterious martial arts of this world.

Next, it is still the second move. He has learned to send, but also learn to receive, and learn to control the flow of profound energy. It took 25 days to complete this.

In other words, he spent 40 days in the second move, which was more than twice as long as the first move, which made him a little depressed and doubted his own talent.

Of course, if you let the old man know, he must say something else: People are more mad than people.

You know, it takes nearly half a year for a very, very good person in this world to complete the second move.

The third move that followed made Yang Dingtian even more depressed to the point of annoyance, because it took two months to complete.

And during this time, the old man never opened his eyes. As for the red flame pills, the old man had already given them all to Yang Dingtian, and he would take one for 15 days. In addition to practicing Qi and Lian Zhengyang Boxing, Yang Dingtian still makes ice steps when it snows. As the profound energy mouse in his body got bigger and bigger, he seemed to be more and more resistant to cold, his strength became stronger and his body became lighter and lighter.

By the time Yang Dingtian finished practicing the third move, spring and summer came, and half of summer had passed.

Although it is extremely cold in the north this time, it will still snow in summer, but the snow is much less frequent and smaller. Therefore, Yangdingtian's construction of the ice steps is getting slower and slower.

Therefore, Yang Dingtian desperately hopes that summer will end soon and winter will come soon!

Yang Dingtian practiced Zhengyang Boxing. The first move took only five days, the second move took 40 days, and the third move took a full two months. This made him fully mentally prepared for the progress of the third move, and even set the deadline for completion in about four months. As a result, Yang Dingtian was overjoyed. The fourth trick only took three days. So much so that Yang Dingtian couldn't help but burst into cheers. At this time, he was very much looking forward to the old man opening his eyes to express admiration or surprise.

However, the old man still closed his eyes, which made him a little disappointed, as if he did well in the exam but was not praised by his parents.
