"Big soft and big loose..." Wang Chao heard the old man say that the muscles and bones should be loose, and the skin and fur should be attacked. He suddenly remembered that when he was learning from Tang Zichen a year ago, Tang Zichen said this when he was explaining the movements of Tai Chi. Now, combined with the old man's words, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and his heart was clear.
With his right hand pressing the ribs and his left hand raised, Wang Chao automatically took a dragon and snake attack posture. Secretly startled the tail vertebrae, attacked the skin and fur, and then divided his entire body into two layers, inside and outside, and secretly relaxed.
But understanding is one thing, and doing it is another. When Wang Chao tightened his fur and exerted force, the muscles of his whole body also tightened, and he could never divide the yin and yang inside and outside.
"Yes, it's very soft and loose. Young man, understanding and doing are two different things. You need to practice more and try your hand with others. The push hands in Tai Chi and the winding hands in Bagua are both held by two people. It takes at least a year for the hands to catch up with the body. Hey, what's your posture? What kind of stance are you standing? It seems to be the combined attack technique of Xingyi School?"
When the old man saw Wang Chao mumbling to himself, he knew that he had understood it, so he immediately reminded him, but then he looked at Wang Chao's stance and his face was surprised.
"This is the dragon and snake combined attack method. My master said that the dragon is the horse and the snake is the spear. The combination of horse and spear can be the king in the cold weapon battlefield fight." Wang Chao did not hide it.
"So that's it. It seems that your master is a person who has been on the battlefield. The boxing masters of all generations, as long as they go to the battlefield and survive, will definitely become a master of the generation. Being able to create such a standard combined posture, you can already establish a school and use your own name to establish another lineage of Xingyi School." The old man sighed.
Wang Chao is familiar with the history of Chinese martial arts and understands what the old man said. The various masters of Xingyi, Taiji, and Bagua, after forming their own unique styles, can all develop a branch. For example, Shang Yunxiang's Xingyiquan is called Shang's Xingyi. There are also Che Yizhai's Che's Xingyi, Guo Yunshen's Guo's Xingyi, Cheng Tinghua's Cheng's Baguazhang, and so on. "I wonder if you have mastered the Huajin? Just now when I touched hands with you, the hidden power of my wrist was surging, as if a steel needle was lurking. I haven't mastered the hidden power yet. I don't know what level of kung fu this is. When the master and I tried our hands, he didn't use the hidden power." Wang Chao asked hurriedly. "Alas! Now I am old. When I was at the peak of my martial arts, my martial arts really entered the Huajin. Every pore in my body could punch and hurt people, and the spray of power was like a needle. But now it's not possible. I can only hit people with my hands, but my whole body can't be anxious." The old man's face darkened, and his tone revealed his feelings about the passing of time and people like morning dew. "What? If you have mastered Hua Jin, will your hands and feet degenerate like the outer martial arts when you are old?" Wang Chao frowned.
"Young man, boxing is not a myth. No matter how high the master's cultivation is, he cannot resist the passage of time and the invasion of years. Time is unforgiving, and people cannot refuse to grow old. I am now over 90 years old. I can still achieve the inner three-in-one center and mind, and the mind and qi, but the qi and force can no longer reach the whole body, and some parts of the body cannot move the power."
After saying that, the old man made another progress, flashing in, using his palm as a knife, and slashing at Wang Chao's throat.
The old man's footwork is superb, and he is as agile as a leopard attacking an antelope. He walks in the authentic Bagua step and uses the authentic Bagua hand knife.
However, the old man does not step on the side, but rushes forward and hits, grabs the center line, and steps on the center palace, making the sneaky Bagua fighting style heroic and proud.
"Good!" Wang Chao couldn't help but cheer. The old man's move immediately showed his uniqueness. The upper principles of Bagua, Xingyi, and Taiji are the same. Not only these three schools, but also all the internal martial arts, the ultimate things and the most basic principles are the same. The only difference is the fighting methods and concepts when fighting against the enemy.
However, although the fighting methods are different, they can still be integrated when they are practiced to the upper level. Bagua can also attack head-on, Xingyi can also attack from the side, and Taiji can also be fierce and explosive, killing people with one blow.
"Since you are a senior of Bagua, I will also fight with Bagua Palm!" Wang Chao's mind moved. When the old man took action, he only felt the other party's breath rushing towards him. Attracted by the breath, Wang Chao's footsteps naturally stepped out diagonally, as if it was a conditioned reflex, without going through the brain at all. This time, it was immediately a few points faster than before.
This diagonal step instantly grabbed the side of the old man. At this time, Wang Chao's pores all over his body bulged, listening quietly, just like a person on a reef in a stormy ocean, listening to the roaring storms everywhere, which group of storms is strong and which group is weak, you must know it in your heart.
The storm is equal to the strength of the old man's whole body. Where it is strong, it means that the old man's strength has been applied to that place. Where it is weak, it means that the old man's strength has not reached that place.
Wang Chao suddenly entered a mysterious state, his pores were listening, his eyes only looked at his hands, and he felt where the opponent's strength was weak, and he stabbed there.
"Young man, good job. When the butcher Ding was cutting the cow, Zhuangzi said that you don't need to look at the whole cow, just feel the connection between the tendons and bones of the cow. This is the same as boxing. You don't need to look at the whole person, just listen to the weak links."
After Wang Chao grabbed the side, he stabbed with his palm, and the position was exactly the weak link of the enemy's strength. It was like an antelope hanging horns, natural and uncarved, obviously some unintentional upper-level kung fu.
The old man also stepped and turned around, and he was actually one step faster than Wang Chao, and still grabbed the front. When his palm touched Wang Chao, he immediately entangled and went up, piercing the waist and ribs into the crotch.
When Wang Chao's palms collided with the old man's, he also did the same as the old man, interlacing his arms and wrapping his waist and hips. This is the wrestling method of the backhand palm in Bagua School. Bagua Palm originally contains wrestling. It was Cheng Tinghua who mixed it in. "Pah!" The two used backhand palms at the same time, and they stuck together as soon as they touched, and stuck together like wrestling. After all, Wang Chao was much worse. The moment the two used backhand palms to twist and twist and exert force, he immediately felt weak, his whole body rose up, his feet left the ground, and he lost the change of power and was released. The ground under his feet is stepped on to gain power. Any boxing technique, when the feet leave the ground, is difficult to gain power and change. Plop! Wang Chao was thrown five or six meters away and rolled on the ground. Then his palms were wrapped around his tailbone, as if his tail was supporting the ground, and he jumped up like a monkey. "You..." Zhu Jia, who was standing by, was stunned. In her eyes, the old and the young were simply inexplicable. When the two met, they talked enthusiastically without even asking each other's names, and started fighting. This made her feel that both of them were lunatics and idiots.
